The French Revolution.

Volume II of The French Revolution"
by Justin H. Mccarthy issued by the Har-
pers, commences with the events immediate
" succeeding the fall of the Bastile, and
ends with the close of the Constituent AS
sembly. This covers the period from July
IA, 1882 to Sept. 3. 1871. In narrating the
exciting events of this period the author
evinces desire to be impartial, and he are-
sents a careful summary of the conflicting
reports of disputed events. Perhaps the best
feature of the book is that it presents an
orderly narration, without lessening ones
sense of the confusion of the times The
authors style is not that of the historian.
but it is graphic, and the attention of the
reader is held by his interesting and pic
turesque account of events which. though
often described, he invests with an air of
freshness. This volume completes the work

Modern EngIish Prose writers.

To give a condensed and comprehensive
account of the most eminent and influential
prose writer's who have ficurished in Eng
land during the nineteenth century is the
object of a work entitled Modern English
Prose Writer'S" by Frank P. Stearns. Biog-
raphes of most of these writer's are al
ready before the public; this volume treats
rather of the character and quality of the
work they performed The writers thus
treated of are Macaulay, Carlyle, Froude,
Walter Scott, Thackeray, Dickens, Marian
Evans, Ruskin, Max Muller and Matthew
Arnold. This list is good as far as it goes,
but the names of a number of noted Eng
fish prose writer's of the same period are
conspicuous by their absence. The book
would be more accurately entitled Some
Modern English Prose Writer'S" However,
the essays are interesting as far as they
go and can be read with pleasure and profit
by students OF nineteenth century Eng
lish literature. G. p. Putnam's Sons.

Of the work Of the home the report says:
4 During the time of Its existence 70
women have come here for rest and care,
some remaining only few weeks, others
several months. Many have gone back
to their work and duties with much
lighter hearts, knowing if they were in
open to receive them.
In some cases girls have been sent here
by their associates, each one contributing
five cents per week for the support of
their friend. The donors thus became in
terested.
Miss Gage, the matron, is invaluable,
not only for her economical and judic.
ious management, but she is one that has
happy faculty of setting people to
rights, and all who coiAe in contact
with her, feel the influence of her Chris
-tian character and are better for it.
The president has presided at all but
five Of the Sc meeting of the Board, and
then only her absence in Europe pre-

Polo Notes,

Manager Durham has engaged Patrick
Farrell of the Wardell and MEG uire team Of
Fall River as goal tender for the Port
land polo team. Mr.. Farrell is very
highly spoken of as competent man,
who Is sure to succeed in faster company.
The Wardell and MCGUIRE team gained
an enyiable reputation for itself last sea-
son in Fall River, losing but three games
in the entire season.
1t is quite certain that Whipple and
Jordan will be seen in Portland uni
form. Manager Burnham says his team
is practically complete and he will make
it known in few days.
1t is said that James Dawson has SO
good a position atRPawtucket that he will
not care to play polo this season.
