NEW EDITION OF PoE,s POEMS.

The F. A. Stokes Company have issued
a new and complete edition of the poems
of Edgar Allan Poe, together with selec-
ton from his stories. The book is hand
somely printed and profusely illustrated,
but is rather strangely inadequate in the
matter OF editorship. Even the briefest of
sketches of the poet would have been a
welcome addition to the volume in these
DAYS when the human document is re-
garded with an interest not even second to
that felt in the literary one. New York:

SUNSHINE AND HAAR.

Days of sunshine and days of frost, the
"haar" of Scotland, make up this volume
of further chronicles of Barncraig by
Gabriel Setoun. Like Barncraig, the pres
ent sketches deal with the life and char
acteristics of the people in an obscure
Scotch village. They are full of tender,
subtle sympathy, and the quaint wisdom
and wit which later-day writer's have
caused US to associate with Scotch char
acter. New York: Harper & Bros. For

Painless Death of Saint-Hilaire at the
Age of 1O2 Years.

Painless Death of Saint-Hilaire at the
Age of 1O2 Years.
In the Hermitage Palace at st. Peters
burg there hangs a picture, either by
Horace Vernet or by David, that represents
the Empress Josephine seated with the
Comtesse de Gontaut-Biron in the salon of
her chateau in Navarro, with a young,
travel-stained lad, arrayed in the pictur-
esque uniform of an imperial page, in the
act OF kneeling before her on one knee and
presenting TO her letter. That page was
no other than M. de Barthelemy Saint
HilaIre, who has just died in Paris at
the age of 1O2. The missive which he
held in his hand was an autograph
letter from his master, the great
Napoleon, conveying to the divorced
son, the little King of Rome, It'd
ings that he held to justify his action
toward her since he regarded it as assuring
the future of his dynasty. The young
page performed the ride from the Tuiler-
les to Empress Josephine's chateau in the
astonishingly brief space of eight hours,
thanks to the relays of horses which had
been organized in anticipation of the event,
and won much fame at the time in con-
nection with this Turpin-like ride.
M. de Saint-Hilaire lived to see his own
Emperor twice oveTthrown and the SUI
preme ruler over France held in turn by
three kings, republic and then by another
Napoleon, whom he had known as youth
in the Tuileries and often romped with in
the dark corridors of that gloomy palace.
Saint-Hilaire refused to hold any inter-
course whatsoever with his form er play
mate when the latter ascended the throne,
horrltled beyond expression by the SAN
culinary means which Napoleon III had
used to secure possession thereof. and all
the Emperor's many efforts to induce him
to Join his cause remained fruitless.
When the third Napoleon had lost his
throne at the battle of Sedan, just in the
same way that his uncle had lost his at the
battles of Leipsic and of Waterloo, Saint
Hilaire responded to the summons of his
old friend, M. Theirs, and when the latter
became President of the third republic,
accepted the difficult Office of secretary
general for the executive. He was very
gay and CHEEKY old man, who retained an
astonishing amount of health and strength
until the very last. being in the habit un-
til quite recently, of walking from his
pretty villa at Passy to the institute, con.
siderable distance for an able bodied man,
but something absolutely phenomenal for
o person over 100 years of age.
He died in the most painless and at the
same time characteristic fashion that it is
possible to conceive, for he was seated at
the time by his fireside after dinner with
some friends, joining heartily in the laugh
which one of his witticisms had provoked,
when suddenly, without a moments
warning, he fell to the ground stone dead,
thus severing one of the most interesting
and picturesque of links with the glorious
past.

This is an exceedingly quaint and beau
tiful story told in letters and poems OF a

author strikes a note that will meet with
response in nearly every human heart. and

and an artistic perception evident in the
making OF the book that appeal to the

among the strong writers of the country,
and while his school will never attain the
popularity OF that of the great romancers
and humorists of the world, it is neverthe-
less the dominant school in our country
at present and well deserves the study of
all interested in literature; nor, perhaps,
can it he studied anywhere to better ad-

The San Francisco call., 1895-12-22

certain phases of Southern life and is one
of the books which cultured Southerners
will receive as fair picture of the men
and women who make up the better ele-
ment of their society. Even the dialect
will be accepted as accurate and the COM
edies and humors be admitted as true to
the lighter side of the real plantation
ways. Altogether the book viii well re-
pay reading, and while there is some cause
for regret that it vas brought to tragic
close, still the heroine being what she was
could hardly have confronted her destiny
otherwise. Through no fault of her own,
but by the impulses of a supreme love, "a
faith unfaithful made her falsely true"
and out of it she could see no escape save
by death, having been bred to the creed
that "a woman's honor as well as er-
mine. will not bear stain"

YEARS THE LOCUST HATH EATEN.

A story of pathos unrelieved by any save
the slightest suggestions of humor and
with but passing glimpses OF the brighter
side of human life is 1.-THE Years the Lo-
Gust Hath Eaten," the latest novel OF
Annie E. Holdsworth. 1t is the record
of the tragedy of an unhappy marriage; !;
the story of the life of a gifted, noble
woman mated to shallow-hearted selfish
egotist, struggling in vain against hope
less poverty under which her worthless
husband contentedly sinks, and finally
breaking down herself and dying in despair
before even the first years of her youth are
gone.
This is one of the novels that indirectly
advocate free divorces by showing the in
tolerable wrongs inflicted upon generous

Police officers aud detectives occa-

sunday.morning an.uiiloer visited a saloon
in Now York and rang tho bell. The
proprietor got up and found the officer In
citizens clothes he said he was sick and
begged for Gods sake to DO given drink.
After much percussion tho saloon keeper
took him In aud gave hlm drink. The
man then informed the saloon keeper no
was under arrest for violating the excise
law. When the case was stated to the
magistrate he severely scored the officer,
but he nevertheless held the saloon kevper
to bail to answer for this oITensa. In-
stead Of pursuing this course the magls-
trate should have dismissed the charge
and held the officer to ball for procuring
liquor under a false pretence, and II there
lie no law for such an act one should
be speedily enacted. The man who goes

protence of suffering induces the proprie

imposition OF this character should not be

is pity that a whip cannot be placed in
