''The Story of an Abduction in the Sev- enteenth Century," by J. Van Lennep, translated from the Dutch by Mrs. Clara Bell A story, purporting to be founded on fact and involving historical personages in high life, that of the abduction of Cath erine d' Orleans, by which German prince came near being deprived of his posses sions, actually lost part of his seigniorial sights, and the free town of Bremen was almost drawn into @ quarrel with the re- public. W. s. Gottsberger &5 Co.,, New York. For sale by H. H. Peck.
 ''The Coming Terror and Other Essays and Letters," by Robert Buchanan. The object of these essays is to vindicate the freedom of human personality, the equali- ty of the sexes, and the right of revolt against arbitrary social laws conflicting with the happiness of human nature, and yet at the same time to uphold social or ganizations--a position midway between conventionalism and socialism, and be- friended by neither. The work has exci- ted much discussion and the second edi- tion almost immediately followed the first. United States Book Co.,, New York. For sale by E. P. Judd.

 through fatigue, drowsiness or ennui. Al
 argument for slow movement in gymnasti
 exercises is drawn from the yawn, whicl
 as giving nervous rest, and muscula
 growth, harmonically, furnishes the bes
 model for an artifcially constructed gym
 nastic. A yelled and vague picture o
 Mrs. Russell, from the portrait by her hus
 band, can hardly be called an embellish
 ment. It should have shown her as ryth
