A QUEER TALE.
LIFE IN A WESTERN TOWN.

A MAN STORY. BY E. W. HOWE 12mo. pp 900.
Boston: Tcknor d Co.
The merits and the faults of Mr. Howe's last
novel arc equally conspicuous II is written in
the same curiously simple and rather mournfui
key which characterized the Story Of Country
Town. 1t is full OF quaint observations and
unexpected views Of life. The plot, the situa-
hcns, the characters, are odd, and not merely
unconventional, but lacking in naturalness. There
is a flavor Of unreality, as of groteSquc dream,
about much of the book The hero, Uncle Tom,
is meant to develop his character before the
reader through his own utterances, but he de-
Gvers himself Of many interminable speeches,
and they monotonousy alike and so packed
with variations OH one narrow idea. as to become
positively wearisome. The story is of man
who leads double life. He has a wife whom
he hates and who hates him. He tries to obtain
a divorce from her; thinks that he has succeeded
meantime marries a woman who loves him and
then finds that his first wife has denied the
service Of the divorce papers and is determined
to fight the proceedings to the last The charac-
ter Of Uncle lon is really developed with caro-
and in the end he stands out strongly and in
terestingly; but there is a painful want OF art
in the evolution.
He is man of good heart and upright character,
but exceedingly obstinate. He lives for years
without speaking to his first wife He leaves his
second wife with the intention of never seeing
her again because she, as he mistakenly thinks,
has shown want of confidence in him at the critical
moment Mrs. Tom the second wife, is very at
tractve figure The household Of the Boomer,
with grandfathers Number One and Number Two,
is described with much quiet humor. The Bends
upon which Number Two goes his reunions" in
his bedroom, and in fact all his ways and habits,
well drawn that we come to know the Old
soldier almost better than either OF the principal
characters. Another original is Joe Tack, the
man who is always being blown up by the boiler
Of his own saw-mll, who takes melancholy pride
in watching the length of the procession that fol-
lows the shutter upon which he is being carried
home after one OF his periodical explosions, and
who writes letters about his second wife in the
name OF the first, and keeps up the fiction OF
gbostly communications, to the deluding of no
body. The Boomer himself, who is up TO his eyes
in schemes OF local expansion and aggrandizemcnt
that never come TO fruition; who is always
planning vast improvements" and mAnoeuvring

This description recalls the minute account
given by Erasmus Of German travel during his
time and it is hard 10 say whether the Europe
Of the fifteenth century or the Tennessee of the
nineteenth the most full of discomfort and
danger In his chapter on Religion" Mr.. Phe-
Ian pictures the life Of the Methodist circuit
rider of the period, and touches upon the
lgious excitement which, at the revival meet
ings, eliminated in the nervous epidemic known
as "the Jerks" He says: They were invol-
untary and irresistible. When under their In
0uence the sufferers would dance, or sing, or
shout Sometimes they would sway from side
70 side, or throw the head backward or for
ward, or leap, or spring. Generally those under
the influence would, at the end, fan upon the
ground and remain rigid for hours and some
times whole mulritudcs would become dumb and
fall PROSTATE As the swoon passed away, the suf-
ferer would weep pteously, moan and sob. After
awhile the gloom would lift, q smile of heavenly
peace would radiate the countenance, words Of
10y and rapture would break forth, and con-
version always followed" Mr.. Phean's descrip-
ton of the old circuit-rider, too long for quota
ton, is equally graphic and sympathetic. 1t
is not" he says, a figure oil speech to say that
his path was beset with death, and that for
months at a time the penances OF a 1rappist
monastery were as Injuries compared to the daily
trials Of hunger and thirst and sleeplessness that
fell TO his lot"
The chapters which deal with the early hnan-
cia history of the State, and especially with the
banking and internal improvement experiments
which proved SO expensive, are full of interest
but we must pass them rapidly in order
TO come to those more modern political events
in the recita. Of which the historian manifests
q special relish and exhibits special spirit and
vieor. Yet word should irst be said Of Ten
nessee's disordcrly period. when the notorious
