at Work in one of the Kara Gold Placers"
and ..Convicts Returning at Night From
the Mines" The frontlsplece of this
number of the Century is portrait of the
famous French artist, Cor0t, whose work
has had such immense influence on the
art of the day and has been subjected to
such fierce controversy. The article is by
Mrs. van Rensselaer,, and along with the
letter press is another portrait of "Corot
at Work" drawn from q photograph by

Our bows should begin to see. that in

Austin end with any of our neighbors
but to do it they must play as club and
not work to spite each other.

ROpRIETORS.

We have just been looking over Mrs
Mary A. Livermore's book MY Story OF
the War" We feel that it is not within
our power to do this work ample justice.
1t is truly wonderful work. What a
glorious book it is to put INTO the hands
of children and young people. The
only book we can compare it with is
Uncle Toms Cabin" The reading of it
has pretty much the same effect as that
story did. We unhesltatinyly say, that
it is by far the best. the most instructive,
the most captivating aud entertaining
story Of the war that we ever read. 1t is
beautifully written full OF pathos and
evidently just to all.
One of its great attractions is the
personal "reminiscences of great men and
women. In this book we see Abraham
Lincoln as we never saw him before.
The view which the author gives of the
characters she describes is near one,
We see them close at hand. We never
fully appreciated the greatness of
Abraham Lincoln until we read this
book; here it was revealed to US how
humble he was with all his greatness in
these never to be forgotten interviews so
graphically described by Mrs. Livermore.
Her tribute to General Grant is simply
Slanu' "uu as loI Tue S|oVy VI MOtneI
Blckerdykc, it $ without Il precedent or
parallel in history
When we ask ourselves the question:
What IS the real secret of this book
The orly satisfactory answer that we
can find is that it is full Of heart pow
err 1t comes from the heart. the sub
iect is great, the author IS great. and OF
course the book could not bu: be great
1t is a pleasure to us to announce to
our fellow citizens that H. Frederickse
has taken the agency of this valuable
work for this city and we doubt not but
his efforts to introduce 1t to your homes
viii be gladly Welcomed
