NEW PUBLICATIONS.

For the right. By Karl Emil FRANCIS.
Given in English by Julie Suffer. With
preface by George Macdonald, L. L. ID. The
well known literary skill and critical taste
of Mr.. Macdonald would naturally lead us to
rely upon his judgment, SO that when he
tells us he has seldom. if ever, read work
of fiction that moved him with so much
admiration as Franzos's novel, For the Right.
we are quite sure that it is work of power.
Nor does perusal of the book alter that
conclusion, and we find ourselves heartily
agreeing with Mr.. Macdonald's verdict
Like the works Tolstoi, Dostoyeoski and
Gogol, the principal element predominates;
the cry is against evil, tyranny, oppression,
and for the right. A lofty purpose. high
ideal breathes through every line of the
book, and one becomes absorbed, interested
and sympathetic. The story all turns upon
the life of one man, an ignorant peasant who
could neither read nor write, but who sacri-
feed all to his innate love of justice; who
gave up life itself from divine sense of
wrong done to others than himself, and duty
owed by him to all men and to God Wife,
children, fortune were all sacrificed, and
Taras Barabola became an outlaw and out
cast, to serve the justice that no one else
would serve. Erring in judgment and
knowledge, attempting the impossible, his
motives were of the purest and noblest. In
this character FRANCIS has given us the
study of a high ideal. Says Mr.. Macdonald
in his preface. 1--WE may doubt if such man
as Taras ever lived; but alas for him who
has no hope that such man ever will bev'

Special Tlegrdm TO tls Register.
COLUMBUS, o, March 16-Mr. Lanlz,
of Harrison, says that his county asks for
very little local legislation. There IS no
disposition among his constituents to make
debts and thereby increase taxation. Har'
risou is one of the conservative counties OF
the State. He has introduced bill TO
amend the law in regard to rosd supervi-
sors. 1t provides that by consent of the
trustees, they can contract with persons
living along the highways TO keep in repair
for specified time any portion OF such
road as may be agreed upon, thus placiug
the repair Of roads under control OF inter
ested parties, and insuring good seTViceable
roads the year round.
Mr.. Hamilton says Monroe county IL IN
the conservative list and does not ask for
legislative aid. The tax payers don't want
any more debts. Schemes for great enter
prises must lock for individual aid.
Senator Coulter says the only local relief
asked for Jefferson county is for street i'm
pravements in the city of Steubenyille.
The county is eminently conservative and
but few bills are offered for consideration.
Jefferson county will he satisfied if the
House will concur in the Senate bill pro-
viding for building bridge across the Ohio

Coulter managed the bill with skill in the

he agreed to leave to his children by
Ms. Carlile, and the two agreed to
aid each other in sickness This ar
rangement was carried out, as Miss Crute
concluded to live with them and refused
