His Fathers Son. A Novel Of New
York by Brander Matthews Illustrated
by L. de Thulstrup. This novel has
been running in Harper's Weekly. Ii is
work of remarkable force and produces
a deep impression in the reading, nor
does it lightly dismiss itself from mem
DRY. The conception of morality upheld
and believed in by men who would be
shocked by conduct in reality above
their own ethical standards; the potency
of early education; the evil possibilities
lurking il over-luxury and wealth-these
and other problems are latent in what on
the surface Is story of modern life in
the midst of excitement and tragic stress
of character, for in this story we have
character to study rathsr than ci1cum-
stance.
The difference between puritanioal dis
cipllne and today's laxity of training;
the effect of coming into an atmosphere
of ready -made money instead OF earning
one's means of support; and the con-
temptation of Wall street principles and
practices-are absorbing subjects and are
here set forth1 insa mastery way. The
deplorably sad going to pieces OF weak
nature is graphically detailed. New
York: Harper & Brothers; Portland:
Loring, Short & Harmon.)
Bernicia, by Amelia E. Barr, author
of Jan Vedder's Wife. etc., is an attractive
history of the time of George IL, 174S,
the scene of which is London and into
which George Whitefeld and other cele-
brities enter. The story opens just after
the dispersion of the Jacobins at Cullo-
den This novel would not be of Mrs.
Barr's authorship did it not contain the
sweetest of love stories and some exquis-
tie descriptions both of people and places.
The heroine is very winning and thu

There is plenty for Mr.. Bayard to talk
about to his English friends without dis
cusings questions in regard to which MS
countrymen hold different opinions and
which are at issue between the two great
parties in the United State. Had MIR.
Bayard criticised the policy OF tree trade
or tariff for revenue only, he would
doubtless have been regarded as amena-
BILE to the charge.of offensive partisanshlp
by the administration and before long
would have received an invitation to re-
turn home. But theIpolicy of protection
which he did criticize in most severe
terms. has behind it at least one half OF
his countrymen, and is party issue IN
the United States, and his attack upon
it was practically an attack upon one half
of his couutrymen. There is no more oc-
casion for Mr.. Bayard to discuss protec-
ton and free trade, than the Protestant
and Catholic religion. and his assault
upon protection is just as much uncalled
for and as indefensible as would have
been an attack upon Catholicism.
