s'The Message of the Bluebird-Told to Me to Tell to Others" by Irene E. Jerome, is one of the most attractive of the holiday volumes. The bluebird sings to the reader from all the phases of his life; songs of joy and gladness, of sorrow and tears, of sun shine and of rain. Accompanying each song is an elegant illustration showing the bird in the element corresponding to the tenor of the song. The binding is one of the most tasty of the season. Lee 6 Shepard, pub fishers, Boston. For sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.
 The we'll known poem "Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight" by Rosa Hartwick Thorpe, has been published in neat little volume with illustrations by F. T. Merrill and E. H. pervision of George T. Andrew. The poem is beautiful song of love and bravery made more attractive by the beauty of it's holiday dress. Lee & Shepard, publishers, Boston. For sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.
 The hymns ''Nearer My God to Thee," by Sarah Flower Adams; ttMy Faith Looks Up Home," by John Howard Payne; "Rock of Ages," by Augustus Montague Toplady, and "Abide With Me-" by Henry Francis Lyte, have been pab abl1shed In new and separate ed1- tions by Lee & Shepard, of Boston. They are bound in neat little volumes with gilt covers and appropriate designs and admira- bly illustrated, some by Miss L. B. Hum phrey and others by Lisbeth B. Comins. The hymns are too familiar to all to need mention. We can praise only the neat and attractive binding and the illustrations. For sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.
 s'Modern Idols-Studies in Biography and Criticism" by William Henry Thorne, is a little volume containing studies and criti- cisms on Matthew Arnold, Robert Browning, Ole Bull, Robert Burns, Thomas Carlyle, George Eliot and George Sand. Several of ths papers were prepared originally for the Philadelphia Times as special articles during the four years in which the author was a member of it's editorial staff. These pa pers have been revised and the others have been prepared especially for this work. The aim of the book is to examine, not to de- stroy, the idols which it has under review. The sketches do not go into detail, but give discriminations of character and genius in little space and new thoughts and sugges- tions concerning these "idols." It is very interesting and profitable volume. J. B: Lip pincott & Co.,, publishers, Philadelphia. For sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.

Charlenagness Hall.

A historic spot, noteworthy in the early life of medieval Germany, is doomed to dis appear beyond recognition. Ingelheim was favorite residence of Charlemagne, where he built great palace and monastery, and laid out pleasure grounds. From the hill where he had fixed his own dwelling he re- marked the early disappearance of the win ter snow from the Johannisberg and the slopes of Rudesheim, and he had vines brought from Italy and planted in these plac- es which instinct told him would produce good wine. This was the first introduction of the vine into Germany.
 Few remains of the buildings now exist. What their extent must have been may be inferred from the fact that from Ingelheim hill to the Rhine is fully two miles, and yet the river is said, in all accounts, to have washed the palace walls. It is this hill and immediate neighborhood which is known among the people by the name 'sCharle- magnss Hall" Some pillars were standing in the last century; but they hare been long since scattered. One of them is preserved at

The Smallest Paper in the World.
 4l,u P,ll Mall


 If prize were offered for the smallest pa- per in the world the latest addition to the Parisian press would stand good chance. It is called Le Quartier Latin and it's super fcial area is less than leaf of the Pall Mall Gazette. This insignificant structure, taking for it's title the name of the great literary and artistic quarter of Paris, announces it's eollaborateurs as 'fal1 the students" Though small, it is excessively bright and full of the genuine esprit of the quartier.
 Its strong feature is mots. Each mot is signed by the author and preceded with g little pictorial canard. There are also echoes from the Boub Niche Boulevard St. MicheD, sketches of types of the district and letters addressed to the professors. The editor has already got into trouble with his staff. The collaborateurs protest against having their contributions compressed into so little space, or, what is worse, crushed out altogether. They threaten to start opposition. but the conciliatory editor announces fortnightly supplements of forty pages made up of over flow matter. The Quartier Latin sells at one son, for it employs the old nomenclature for the currency.

NEW HAVEN CONN, FRIDAY MORNING DECEMBER B. 1886.

sippD Herald says: Vicksburg needs 8 simple
 business government of few representative honest men. Her citizens are entitled to it, and they can get it when they unite. To get it they must abandon the system of munich pal elections root and branch. They must secure the repeal of all portions of their charter requiring elections. The simplest plan is the best. Let the governor be em- powered to appoint five commissioners and let them be clothed with the power to attend to the municipal affairs. The whole thing can be easily arranged and then the cause will be permanently removed, but not until strikers, the thieves and thugs, but it will be great relief to all good citizens.
 The consequences of the attempt to estab- fish the eight-hour system in Wisconsin are forcibly set forth in the report of the State commissioner of labor and industrial statis- tics. This movement, which extended through the winter and the early spring, eliminating in the Milwaukee riots of May last, was terribly costly. Even to this day, says the report, ''houses remain unpainted and fences unrepaired; the sewing machine bought on the installment plan is taken away; pawnshops have been doing thriving business; interest payments have lapsed; in- surance policies have been forfeited; wife and children are without new dresses; furni- ture has gone to the secondhand store; lot sales to workingmen ceased for weeks and months; chattel mortgages increased to an unusual number and domestic hard times that the public can never see or know prevailed in many quarters with pain full severity" The commissioner places the number of men deprived of employment at 13,000, and the cost to the State is estimated at g, 900, ,0G0.
 The Boston Herald puts it about right when it says concerning the present condi- tion of the Andover controversy: The claim of Professor Smyth that the prosecutors have not made out a proper and sufficient siate- ment for his conviction or for the carrying on of the suit seems to be made on good grounds. His answer to the board of visit ors, who are not unwilling to dismiss the suit on account of insufficient evidence, is strong and detailed statement of the points which have been made for his conviction, and it would seem to be difficult to make out case against him or his associates upon the allegations which have been presented. Dr. Smyth argues his case like a man, and afirms his readiness to put everything that he can in the way of the proper forwarding of judgment; but he writes with the con- viction of one who has nothing to affirm or deny beyond what is already known. It is yet too early to predict which way this case will be decided, but it is not hard to see that there is considerable feeling on the part of the prosecutors and that the most will be made of everything that is not favorable to Dr. Smyth and fellow professors. The sym pathies of the outside public are unquestion- ably with the men who are under prosecu-

An encouraging crusade against hats and bonnets has begun in the German theaters. Of late theater goers have complained bit terly that the elaborate head gear worn by the ladies has interfered with their views of the stage, and consequently the manager of the Wiesbaden theater has led the way with an official circular, politely requesting ladies in the better class seats to take of their hats and bonnets. Since then three of the chief Berlin theaters have also issued a similar edict. The advertisement of the Olympic theater, London, announces, "Dress circle (bonnets allowed), 3s., front row."
