swINBuRNE ON VICTOR HUGO.

VIoToR HUGO, by Algernon Charles Swim
burne. Worthington & Co., New York, Pub
fishers.
This book is poets tribute to the men,
DRY of brother poet; and if it's merits were
to be judged in proportion to the devoutness
of its authors worship at the shrine of
Hugos genius, it would be indeed wonder
full production. The estimate in which the
subject of this essay is held by its author
may be gathered from the opening page, in
which he calls him ''The greatest Frenchman
in all times" and "the greatest among
poets" The essay throughout seems to be
an effort to justify these claims. Il is called
ga Study of Victor Hugo" and in form and
substance is brief commentary upon nearly
every one of the vast number of poems and
writings that Hugo produced during his long
and prolific literary life. The author seeks
to interpret each of these in few brief sem
fences, and in doing so shows himself won
derful master of the condensed and varied
expression necessary to convey in such mar
row space such multiplied and varied thought
as the writings contain. single extract,
one, and often two or three of like character
except as to thought, being found on nearly
every page of the 200 which the book con-
tains, will serve to illustrate the method and
spirit of the work, and will also, from the
sentiment it conveys, be of special interest
to the readers of this periodical, placing
Hugo, as it does, among the unqualified be-
levers in the faith it represents. Speaking
of the sixth book of the ContempIotions he
says: "Last comes the magnificent and rap
turous hymn of universal redemption from
suffering as from sin. the prophetic vision of
evil absorbed by good, and the very worst of
spirits TRANSPORTED into the likeness of the
very best, in which the daring and indomita-
BILE faith of the seer finds dauntless and su-
preme expression in choral harmonies of un-
limited and illimitable hope" The essay is
wholly and highly laudatory throughout,
save in single instance, where the views of
its subject in opposition to capital punish
ment come in conflict with the authors
strong opinions on the other side. Doubt
less much of this strong praise is due to the
profound genius, the versatility and the
soundness of thought and elevation of senti-
ment displayed by the great Frenchman. and
the book will have a good effect in bringing
these to the knowledge of many who could
not secure it through more extended study
of his history and the perusal of his writings.
For the benefit of this last class, it is to be
regretted that the many, and often extended
quotations in the volume are given in the
original and not in such translation as the
poet author, who seems to possess such an
insight into their meaning, might, it would
seem have given. The book will be found of
great value to those familiar with the life
and writings of Hugo as means of refresh
ing their memories with regard to them.

At her home in jacksonville, o., July 25,
Mrs. Mary Carman Conkling, after an illness
of eight days, aged So years, months and 4
days. Her disease was congestion of the
bowels, produced by severe attack of chol-
era morbus, and she lay in comatose con-
dition about all the time. Mrs. Conkling
had been a widow for twenty-four years, and
had the care of four children, two of whom,
Harry j., one of the promising young bust
ness men of Cincinnati, and Mrs. Adam
Mann, of Madisonville, survive her. She
leaves in addition three sisters and brother,
and large number of other relatives and
friends to mourn her loss; but they are COM
forted with the memory of the pure and USE
full life she lived, and the sweet hope of re-
union in the heavenly land. She was for
many years member of the Plum Street
Universalist church, Cincinnati, and sincere
ly loved the house of the Lord and its privi-
leges. Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. j. w. Henley, of Woodstock, an old
friend of the family, at her residence, after
which the body was taken by special train to
Spring Grove and laid away in the family lot,

Mary E., wife of Samuel Mcclure, was
born May IL, 1883, and married Feb. "a,
1856, and died suddenly at Lexington, High
land county, o., July %. 1886. In her de-
cease the husband has lost faithful wife,
four children an affectionate and doting
mother, brother loving sister, the church
an earnest worker, the Christian religion one
of its best opponents, and the community
one of its brightest ornaments. If it can be
said of any one that life on earth began and
ended leaving no enemies behind, it can be
truly said of Mary e. Mcclure. For many
years her religious faith radiated through her
whole life. The earth has lost but heaven
has gained by her decease. Friends are com
forted in the precious faith which was cher
ished by her. w.s.B.

Exercises for the improvement Of the Senses,
by Horace Grant, is published by Lee q
Shepard, Boston, and sold by S. A. Maxwell
& Co., Chicago. Price so cents. The pur-
pose of this little manual will be best shown
by the first paragraph of its introduction,
which declares it to be, ITO provide instruc-
tion and amusement for children who are too
young to learn to read and write; to
excite little children to examine surrounding
objects correctly, SO that valuable knowledge
may be acquired while the attention, memo
ry, judgment and invention are duly exer-
cised." 1t consists of an exhaustive series
of questions concerning large number OF
familiar objects, and of exercises for all the
bodily senses. 1t VIII be found exceedingly
helpful and instructive to kindergarten teach
ers and to parents who desire some simple
method of inter esting or instructing theil
little folks.

The author departs from the accepted ortho-
dox view upon the subject, the material bod
lily resurrection, and for good reasons, we
think, but otherwise the various branches of
the theme are presented from mildly evan
gelical standpoint. Some of his arguments
would have very little weight with non-evan-
gelical minds; and some alleged facts brought
forward as proof on some points of doctrine
would be considered wholly irrelevant, as,
for instance, when in the second sermon,
under the head of "Memory as an Endless
Parchment" he says that every thought and
deed is indelibly written on the memory, and
that only a change of condition is necessary
to make them appear, and presents this as
argument in favor of future final judg-
ment. Others, while seeing in such fact a
very deep significance as relates to immortal
life, would give it vastly different applica-
ton, and one far more in harmony with gen.
uine Christian philosophy. The little book
is in excellent form and type and will be
found profitable reading to those interested
in the theme, and consoling and encourag-
ing to those in sorrow. Fords, Howard &
Hubert, New York.

In John B. Alden's edition of Biographical
Essays, by Thomas Darlington Macaulay,
we have one of the most satisfactory we have
yet seen of the cheap publications of the day.
Its single, narrow-columned page, of clear,
large type, makes it exceedingly pleasant to
the eye and easy to read. The book contains
the three celebrated essays on Bacon, War
rem Hastings and William Pitt Nothing
need be said of them to those familiar with
the authors writings. To those not SO famil-
lar, we may say that they will be found excel
lent specimens of the wonderful literary bril-
liancy, and historical method, of MacCaulay
and may add, what has been long-estab-
lished conviction with us, that no man can
be said to have thorough and just knowl-
edge of these three great men, for such they
all were, until he has read what Macaulay
has said of them. We heartily recommend
the book to those not able to purchase the
more costly editions.

The Princeton Rerie,c for July is brill
liant number, presenting to its readers one
contribution of the highest literary interest,
besides number of articles of Importance
from writers of the first rank on topics of
permanent or timely interest. Prof. Charles
Eliot Norton's Recollections of Carlyle,
with Notes Concerning his "Reminiscences, ,"
adds another deeply significant chapter to
the growing Carlyle literature, and throws
new and penetrating light on the great writer
and on his brilliant biographer. In W. j.
Stillman's discussion of contemporary art
under the title of "The Decay of Art" this
acute and accomplished art critic surveys
the whole field of modern life, from the
standpoint of art, and indicates those ten
against great and noble art development.
Henry w. Farnam writes of "The Clergy
and the Labor Question:" and urges con-
servative action. Bishop Henry G. Potter
brings to the discussion of ''The Sunday
Question" his characteristic courage, frank
ness and sound common sense. Under the
title of "The Origin of Life" H. W. Conn
points out the radical difference between the
vitalistic and the mechanical theories, and
declares that while no explanation of the ORR
gin of life on the globe has yet been reached,
a purely mechanical explanation of the uni
verse is impossible. Louis Swinburne con-
tributes charming chapter of ''Reminis-
cences of Helen Jackson" full of delightful
personal Characterization, and adding mate
rally to our knowledge of her Colorado
home, haunts and habits. The department
of "Criticisms, Notes and Reviews" con-
tains short but very valuable discussions of
the Education Bills Before Congress-" and
of several recent books of special importance.

JUDGE J. :. Waters and Geo. Fay-
lor came up from Snake River, Fri
day, where they located fourteen plac-
er claims near Glenn's Ferry, for a
company of fourteen Wood River
parties. They are quite enthusiastic
over the outlook for these gold mines
along Snake River and expect to be-
gin active work this season upon their
bar. While there is no excitement
over these mines, there are large
number of claims being worked which
pay good profit, and the constant,
steady development of such indus
tries, is making a solid basis for the
merchants of Shoshone, and adding
wealth and population to the southern
