extend your sympathy to this periphrastic sportsman, who will not acknowledge his envy of the youthful and more successful Pike. Conventional and homely people, who pursue the even tenor of their way un- til the sad and untimely death of Sir Thomas Waldron. A mysterious crime Is intimated, and the credulous, ignorant people of Perlycross not only be- lieve it has been committed, but fasten the outrage upon the youthful Dr. Fox, who has labored so willingly anoug them. Around this occurrence is drawn every character and incident of the book. The interest becomes intense, the issue or it all kept in doubt until the close Of the book. The progress of the plot IS elabor- ated, and yet all skillfully pointing to the one central theme, that when the book closes we look again to be sure these same Perlycrucit ns have so innocently contribu- ted to our ignorance of the truth;
 There are many passages of descriptive best, and all of the woodland witchery of Lorna Doone, enough of the Devonshire dialect to give the same virile strength of character and freedom loving spirit.
 There is wonderful strength h his rustic portraiture to be found in the wrest- ling bout between Tremlett of Devot shire and Polwart of Corwan.

 "sLet un have it., I won't claim no foul. Let un do it again, if "a can.' Thus spoke the fallen man, striding up to the umpire's post.
 IA roar of cheers rang round the tent, though many Devonshire face looked glum, and few groans clashed with the frank hurrahs.'
 The book is healthy and vigorous and a pure, sympathetic atmosphere pervades the whole. PAUL FRY.

R1DGEwAY, Mo-, Dec. 12.-The most
horrible human butchery ever recorded
Z il this section was committed five
miles southwest of this city during the
afternoon. David G. ,Spragg, in q fit
insanity, murdered his wife and two
children and mortally wounded his
two stepchildren with 6 butcher knife,
and then took his own life with rifle.
( The nearest neighbor of the Spraggs
lived almost mile distant, and it was
some time before the news of the crime
spread. In few hours numbers OF
people arrived from town and an inves.
tigation of the scene was made.
The Most sickening Sight
met their gaze. Laying in the yard
near the gate were the remains of Mrs.
Spragg, mutilated almost beyond rec
ognition. In the little dwelling, in one
corner Of the sittingroom, lay the life
less body of little Galley, years old,
and in the other. Albert, a Agar old
boy. On the kitchen floor, with blood
besmeared all over his hands and face
and still clenching the
Terrible instrument of Death
in his hands, lay the author Of the
awful scene. The two stepchildren Of
Spragg, both under + years old, were
taken to the home of neighbors, where
they are dying from dozens of cuts that
cover their bodies. Evidences of ter
rible struggle were plainly visible in
the Spragg home. Spragg had been
complaining for several days Of an ach-
ing head and undoubtedly became sud.
denly insane.
The two stepchildren, who are still
alive, cannot recover.

The Question Of Nolltion.

NJ. Van Hamel represented, dare
say rightly, as "a savant of the first
order" sought at the Brussels con-
gress to demolish hber,y of volition
by the following argument, If you
are in a restaurant and choose be-
tween two plats, it is not your free
will but your stomach which speaks
c'Actes," etc, page 272J. The argu-
ment seems to me most unfortunate
for NJ. Van Hamel's purpose. No
doubt in a mere animal the stomach
would ordinarily decide whether he
should not devour food that came in
his way.
I say .'ordinariiy /" for a wen train
ed dog would often be influenced by
the recollection that his master had
forbidden him to eat this or that.
But when a man orders his dinner
at a restaurant other voices besides
that of the stomach are wont to make
themselves heard-the voice of his
physician, for example, if he is dys-
peptic or equity; of his religion, if he
practices one into which dietary pre-
scriptions enter; of his purse, unless
he is prepared to dine regardless of
expense. In making up his mind, as
the significant phrase is, what he
will select, he will choose between
the motives which thus speak to him,
and such choice is what we mean by
free will.-Contemporary Review. =
