Bugle Echoes Edited by Francis F.
Browne. New York: White, Stokes & AL
len; Portland: Loring, Short & Harmony
At each meeting of the Grand Army of the
Republic and at every observance of Memo
rial Day, memoirs of camp and battlefield
and bivouac are freshly Weakened, and the
scene of our civil war comes wildly before
us. The series of campaign sketches, finely
illustrated and published by the Century
Magazine, is read by thousands of patriotic
souls with an undated interest in all that
pertains to the "boys in blue" The book
before us, Bugle Echoes, is compilation of
Poems of the Civil War; and will find a host
of readers, as it deserves to do. The volume
is finely bound in attractive colors, and its
paper and print are of the handsomest.
The compiler has made no distinction as
to North and South, and here are to be found
poems by Paul Hamilton Hayne, the original
text of Maryland, My Maryland, and selec-
lions from that most charming of Southern
poets, Henry Timrod, cheek by jowl with
Lowell's Commemoration Ode and Brother
Jonathan's Lament for Sister Caroline. The
Star-Spangled Banner and Bonnie Blue
Flag swing within sight of each others
pages.
The collation. (?) shows unusual good taste
and literary judgment, and many beautiful
poems will be found in its table of contents.
The reader will note the name on the title
page as that of the author of Vanquished,
published at the time of Grants death, and
included in these selections.

CURRENT COMMENT.
MIR. BLAINE's SPEECH.
Philadelphia Press


Mr.. Blaine's exposition OF the meaning and
of the rightfulness of home rule is the clear
est and the best that has been made. 1t has
the simple directness and the pungent force
which distinguish all of Mr.. Blaine's speech
es. He brings the subject so plainly and so
sharply before the nearer and the reader that
they at once grasp its true character MI
Blaine believes that home rule is right and
just in itself as a matter of principle, and
that beyond this it is the only practical policy
of pacitication for Ireland, and he seeks, by
intelligent explanation and apt Illustration,
to make everybody understand the reasons
which underlie both of these truths.

are credit to the Republicans of his districts
[Kennebec Journal
Hon. Thomas B. Reeds speech at the dis
trict convention which re-nominated him for

a campaign document. 1t was. as forcible, as
pungent, and as true as witty. Mr. Reed is
man Of brains and power and his district
does well to take steps to return him to Con-
CroSS.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
REVIEW.


New YORK, October 30.-Prices opened
quiet and firm. There were buying orders
for foreign account in Lake Shore and Louis
Vile and Nashville, and considering that
Monday next is holiday in London, TO be
followed by one here on Tuesday, the anx-
iety which has generally heretofore been ap-
parent on such occasions, 70 square up, so TO
speak, has not been noticeable, and this evi-
dences the great confidence holders of stocks
have in their holdings To us it is not at all
surprising, and any one who has studied the
situation for the past six weeks cannot but
be convinced that prices are well warranted
by existing circumstances. The buying OF
Lake Shore to-day has been of a very soid
price up gradually without alarming the
shorts who exist in both this and many
stocks. The tone during the afternoon was
strong, and prices closed strong Money, .
