Rev. Justin ID. Fulton's performances in
Chicago are far from creditable to him. He
has had boys parading the streets wearing
immense straw hats with the inscription on
a black band why priests should We'd" and
he managed to stir up so much bad blood
that the trustees of the church which he had
engaged to lecture in refused it for fear of
mob. 1t will take about million years OF
this sort of performance to suppress Catho-
licism. Indeed we are inclined to think that
Mr.. Fulton's methods are beneficial to Cath
olicism-as unfair, unjust, and indecent at
taclls are always beneficial to the cause or
the man assailed.

An Unlaid Ghost. A Study in Metempsy-
Ghosts. This book is anonymous. Why the
unknown author should have attached so
long an explanatory name to it, we hardly
understand. 1t is made up OF two tales the
first, brief historical sketch of me.0f the
wicked deeds of Poppata, the second wife of
Nero; and the other romantic story of
French waif, who passed through some vicis-
STUDIES, out came out all right in the end.

The Deemster. A romance. BY Hall
Game. This is powerful story and re-
freshing one. 1t is as far from Boston with
its weak minister, its giggjng girl, its louis
of boys and servant girls, with their realistic
conversation as the Isle of Man is from
Massachusetts. This is true Manx story
and while it is not altogether pleasant read
ing--for it is tragic from beginning to end
it is new, fresh, breezy, strong and often
pathetic. 1t is not story to 60 to sleep

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

The United States of Yesterday and of
Tomorrow. By VIM. Barrows, d. d.. OF
the many books devoted to the growth of
the United States this is one of the best. Its
author was pioneer teacher in the West,
and an eyewitness Of the rise and develop
ment of Chicago and other cities. He traces
the changes which have occurred since the
adoption of the Constitution, and more es-
pecially during the last sixty years, since the
Introduction of steamboats,, railroads, the
electric telegraph and all the appliances of
the new civilization The increase and pres
ent extent OF our territory are described with
enthusiasm; and the author delights to dwell
upon the theme of our future greatness. He
considers Alexandria and COnstantinople
inferior cities to Chicago, an opinion in
which we should not concur without many
conditions and limitations. However, the
feeling is natural and even commendable in
man who founded its first classical school,
and whose sister was one of the earliest
teachers there. The g-owth of the United
States has been SO rapid that plain state
ment of the facts without comment is all that
is required to impress every thoughtful read

Monarchs l Have Met. BY w. Beatley
Kingston. Mr.. Kingston was for some years
special foreign correspondent OF the Morn
ing Chronicle and other London journals.
This was the golden age Of the species which
he represents. Large sums of money were
expended and no stone left unturned by
these enterprising and indefatigable journal
lists. The object was to interview the chief
conductors of all foreign pageants on state
occasions and anniversaries of great events.
Mr.. Kingston seems to have been unusually
active in the performance of his duties, in
the discharge of which he visited the leading
countries and courts of Europe. Good letters
introduction and influential sponsors, COM
bned with much personal tact, secured him
entrance into many charmed circles. In the
course of his journalistic career he saw
much of diplomatists, statesmen and kings,
not only on state occasions, but when apart
from these they chose to unbend and asso-
clate with their personal friends and foreign
visitors. Mr.. Kingston describes the leading
monarchs as he saw them at such times, and
his pictures are both friendly and favorable.

The Long Exile and Other Stories By
Count Tolstoi Translated from the Russian
by N. H. Dole. Few writers of our time
have acquired such widespread and favor
able reputation as Count Tolstoi. His Peace
and War is a masterpiece, an epic in scope
and power. Anna Karenina is not book
to be put into the hands of the young, but
the stories included in the volume before us
were written expressly for young people,
and will become very popular among them.
Russian life is brought out in its manifold
aspects. The authors dogs and horses,
trees and landscapes, the homes and schools
of the people are all wildly depicted
Scenes from School Life is a story of marked
interest. But where all are good it is I'M
necessary to discriminate. We predict for
the entire series large number of readers
and as many admirers. New York: Thorn

Slips of Tongue and Pen. BY j. III. Long,
M. A., LII d. Upon The first page of this

tune or calamity" and being somewhat sur
prised at this new definition, we turn to the
authority nearest at hand (Worcester) and
find accident r.. dccido. dccidens, to hap
pen to: dd. to and cddo. to fall An event
proceeding from an unknown cause; an I'M
foreseen event: chance" There are some
other definitions. but nothing approaching
misfortune or calamity 1t would seem
that an author SO ignorant or careless of the
etymology of his language ought not to I'M
dertake the nice, critical work required in a
book Of this title. Again ON p. 4, he says:
do not use to beat for to defeat, e. g.. ''The
army was beaton is incorrect" But Wor-
cester gives, among other definitions of to
beat: "To conquer; tooyercome; to subdue !;
to vanquish; and quotes the line from Ar
buthnot: "Pyrrhus = beat the Car

nor would any amount of book education do
this. That can only be learned from expert

is the time to learn these things; and very
few men of middle age, or past, enter the

severely handled or knocked out. Better
