The Memoirs and Letters of Dolly Madi-
son, wife of James Madison, President OF
the United States, edited by her grand niece.
Boston: Houghton, Miffiin & Co.; Port
land; Loring, Short & Harmon), we find an
agreeable addition to the series begun with
the biography of Mrs. Edward Livingston
Mrs. Madison was conspicuous figure dur
ing an interesting and important period in
the political and social history of this ceun-
try extending from 1772 to 1855. Her beau
ty, charm of manner, good sense and warm
heart gave her great influence, which she
used most wisely. Twenty years younger
than her husband, their marriage was one of
singular happiness and harmony, and Mrs.
Madison's letters evince the grace and charm
of her personality. The volume is edited
with excellent Judgment, skill and taste.

how disagreeable it is for a man in respon-
sible public position to feel that his official
conduct is justly liable to criticism, they
would doubtless give me less credit than they

In connection with the work of M. Dupuy,
Miss Hapgood's excellent translation of a
series of stories by Golgol will have a special
attraction. The volume is named st. Johns
Eve and Other Stories, tales in which the
marvellous abounds, and the legends of the
Ukraine are introduced with wonderful eff
feet. Golgors heroes are the Cossack lads
and half barbarous peasants, people full OF
superstitions, whom these tales of the super
natural by turns frighten and charm. Co.
gol is artistic and dramatic, and lacks the
melancholy and despondent element that we
find so fercely interviewer with the ro-
mances of Tolstoi. (New York Thomas Y.

Girls Who Became Famous, by Sarah K.
Bottom New York: Thomas Y. CrowelD,
comprises short SIX etches, replete with anec-
dote, of the lives of nineteen women who
became more or less famous in the fields of
art, literature, science and philanthropy.
The subjects are for the most part well Sc
Iected, and the story of their lives told in
way to interest young girls, for whom the
book is especially designed, and it will act as
an incentive to cultivate the mind and beau
tify the character, and by patience and per-
seyerence to make the most of any latent
talent that may be possessed. The work is
fully and well illustrated.

Ernest Dupuys volume entitled Great Mas
ters of Russian Literature in the Nineteenth
Century, has been translated by Mr.. Nathan
Haskell Dole, and contains sketches of the
life and works of Gogol, Turgenief and Toll
stoi, with their portraits. There is at the
present time such an interest in Russian lit
erature and Russian authors that this vol
ume will be valuable in giving one an idea
of the characteristics and experiences of the
men who have written such books as Taras
Bulba, Anna Katenena, sand Fathers and
Sons. NJ. Dupuy's sketches are not exhaus-
tive, but are delicate and charming; we are.
therefore, grateful to the translator for his
appendix, which gives us many interesting
and valuable facts concerning the three au-
thors, of whose lives M. Dupuy has only
given us hasty resume. (New York

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

A Politicians Daughter. By Myra Sawyer
Hamlin. (New York: d. Appleton & Co.
Portland: Loring, Short & Harmony Mrs.
Hamlin is evidently bright woman, a clever
one. That she is brighter and more clever
than her novel we can read between the lines,
although A Politicians Daughter possesses
these qualities to some extent. The plot of
the book is ill-conceiyed; the ''great politi-
clan" himself is dishonest man, and tn e
author apparently thinks honesty and politi-
CAD success are incompatible. No gentleman
were he ever so much of a prig, would delib-
erately decline to visit lady, giving her as
reason that he did not approve of her fa-
ther because he was politician. And no
lady would so calmly accept such an insult
and open her doors to the man when his adj
miration for her had overcome his scruplcs.
The story lacks intensity and passion. 1t
has, however, the merit of very good style,
being well written and in excellent English,
which one seldom finds in the society novel
of today.

A White Heron and Other Stories. By
Sarah Orne Jewett (Boston: Houghton, Milf
fin & Co.; Portland: Loring, Short & Har-
NOM. These nine stories, with but two ex-
ceptions originally appeared in Harper's,
the Atlantic and other periodicals. They
have the pure, high tone of all Miss Jewetts
stories, and through them breathes the
fresh, sweet air of the country. The Gray
Man has a favor of Hawthorne; but the
opening story, A White Heron, if one can
choose where all are so good, is perhaps the
most delicately and gracefully sketched of
all. Every line is perfectly drawn, even to
the perverse old cow, whcih would hide away
in the pasture, and which would but rarely
condescend to take the right home turn on
being found. The dainty Dover is fit set
ting for these charming stories.

Poverty Grass, by Lille Chace Wyman
Boston: Houghton, Miffiin & Co.; Port
land: Loring, Short 6 Harmony is collec-
ton of stories to which the author has given
the singular name of vegetation which gains
a certain sort of life from the sands wherein
other plants perish. And so the characters
of Mrs. Wyman's stories struggle against
odds, and reach whatever growth they at
tain through difficulty" The book is made
up of series of studies from life, in which
rough forces, evil and pain predominant,
while yet the lights are used as faithfully as
the shadows. The author shows much dra-
matte power and rugged strength, and knows
of what she writes. Her style is simple and
direct and well fitted to accomplish her aim,
which is ''to help make the fortunate ones of
this world know the less happy well enough
to sympathiZe with them.''

The Riverside Musum. By Jak. New York: ::

for boys, which is both interesting and in
structive. 1t is a sequel to the popular Birch
wood and contains many of the same charac-
ters. The manner in which these young
folks collected and studied their specimens
of natural objects, and thus built up their
museum, will show other boys and girls how
they may spend some of their leisure with
pleasure and profit.

war, and there makes home and wins a
wife, in spite of Southern prejudice. The
writer herself views the South from the pop
ular Northern standpoint, and evidently
thinks that an officer who fought on one
side in the War of the Rebellion must be a
gentleman and hero. All the same her sto-
ry has some merit, and she evidently in
tends to be quite just.

teenth century, and where we are introduced
to Davil Balfour, who tells us show he was

Pepita Ximinez, from the Spanish of

Portland Loring, Short & HARMONY. is ex-
cellently translated, and story of remarka-
bic power and subtlety, which will well
reward perusal, and will not pail upon the
taste of the most jaded novel reader. 1t is a
thorough love story, strong psychological
study of the power of human passion over
asceticism, and an absorbing desire for the
priesthood and martyrdom The literary
quality of the book is rich and brilliant, and
it is likely to achieve as extraordinary sue
cess in this country as it has in Spain. Senior

STRIKING AT THE Ro0T.-A memo
rial will be presented to the next Legis-
lature of this State, in which the sign
ers, some ten thousand in number, will
ask that body to add to our present
school curriculum, scientific temper
ance instruction. The petition has been
signed by the leading lawyers, editors
and business men of the State. This
right, if granted, will eventually do
away with the liquor business of the fu-
ture, for if children are taught that al.
cohol wrecks the system, by destroying
the nerves, weakening the physical force
and deadening the brain powers, there
will he no army to recruit from in the
future. This is not only the most prac-
tical, but the most sensible, way of de-
stroying, what the law now makes le.
Ultimate, legal business. The next leg
islature will assuredly be called upon to
grant the great right, recognized by the
most unlettered-the right of the people
to petition law-making departments of
our State to protect the rising genera
tions.

NOTHING is more healthy or does
the body more good than a short morn

les of Martinsburg seem to think so,
anyhow. We often see them strolling
toward the country, and when after
wards they come back to town, their
cheeks are rosy with exercise, and their
eyes look brighter for their walk. Fresh
