"Old Lamps for New Ones"

It comes as start to one that a
volume of 800 and some pages can be
made of Essays, Reviews and other
papers by Charles Dickens now COL
lected for the first time and reprinted
in book form. Many Of the fugitive
pieces included in the present volume
have been apparently unknown, even
to photographers, as the productions of
the great novelist, and it Is only by
careful research among the manu-
scripts in the Foster collection at
South Kensington museum and else
where that Mr.aF'rederick G.. Kitton.
the editor of the present volume and
the author of many works on the SUBJ
ject of Dickens, has been enabled to
identify several of the more interest
ing of these. occasional contributions
to Journalistic literature. Some Of
Dickens earliest Journalistic ventures
were discovered in Bentley's Miscel-
lany, the magazine in which '"The Life
and Adventures Of Oliver Twist I"
first appeared. "The Extraordinary
Gazette" + fogned part of his
contribution alto 0 this paper. The
unsigned papeys that appeared in ''The
Examiner" are found in the original
manuscript in Dickens autograph
Those that anReaFed in "All the Year
Round" are Identified beyond cues

odd Lamps for New Onesy' the in
itial sketch, is that startling" attack
on the "PreRaphael E, otherhooL " an
attack rather more amusing now than
at the time it was written, and for
quite arotter reason. With the "P1e-
RaphaeP' movement an accepted fact,
the Pre-Raphael men wocld-re mt mber-
cd. and the list of opposing pow
ers, men renowned as great masters
in any age or country" Ito quote Dick
ens}, mary OF them now hardly rec
ogriZed. Dickens strength seems not
to be as an art critic. The caustic live
liness Of his wit, however. is all there,
as 1t is in every one of the fortysom
papers and fragments collected into
this volume.
In this respect. "The Lively Turtle"
belongs with Dickens best work. It
is very '1ively" turtle, indeed, and
quite equal to the demands it contin-
ues to make On itself in spite of the
forty-eight years that have passed over
1t since Mr.. SEoady first observed it's

"For the Love of Tonit,."

The most desirable thing about Z
small volume called For the Love of
Tonfta" is it's exquisite cover design.
The delicacy of its white back is i'm
practical and unsuitable for a book
that is to be handled but the face is
decorated with a posteresque design of
a stretch Of sage-br wastes and
des0late buttes in yellows and organes
and indigo blues ccnventionalized into
keeping with book-cover art To see
this design is to long after a detached
copy Of it.
The stories so charmingly dressed are
hardly worthy of their fine feathers.
They are simply rather pretty tales Of
the Mesas, sentimental and heroic The
actors are Spanish gentlemen and
Mexican Indians, gTandees and cow
boys; love and self-sacrfice; situations
OF some humor, and inventions of some
pathos and tragedy, make up these
nine stories by Mr.. Charles Fleming
Embree. The last, 1.-The Absence of
Narcesso," is in way the strongest.
While this group of stories is not re-
markable in any way, it is quite
readable and will serve to pass the
time as well as always do the. tales of
this class.

"The Red Bridge Neighb srhood. F."

Miss Pool has a distinct niche Of her
own in the affections of the novel
reading public. 1t is not very lofty
position she holds in letters, but such
as it is she possesses it, securely, with
dignity and resource. She mingles the
best features of Mary Jane Holmes
and E. P. Roe with a refining dash of
Miss Wilkins, and the books produced
by the mixture are not at all bad read
ing for moods of relaxation, while they
cannot be said to be literature
"The Red Bridge Neighborhood," the
last product of the authors pen, has
all the qualities of it's predecessors. It
is a little sterner and more tragic than
some, a little less narrowing than
others. It ends by giving the deserving
heroine all the happiness possible to
her in a world which has hardly treat
ed her according to her moral deserts
Many of us would like to be consoled
for our trials in the same substantial
way The book affords opportunity,
nay, even demands a sequel, for Olivia
is left young and beautiful with $500, 600
to her fortunegand certainly is destined
to more adventures before she marries

her face" in the last paragraph.

A Negro Turning White.

A Negro Turning White.
A curiosity rarely witnessed in this
country was seen at the Office of the
pension examiners in this city today. 1t
was negro man turning white. The
mans name is Sam Smith. He is g.
years old and came here today from
Georgetown to stand an examination
for a pension, he having served in the
Union army. More than three-fourths
of the mans entire body is white, the
skin fairer by far than that of the or
binary white man. The dark skin re-
naming on the body is only in small
spots. Smith says that his skin began
turning white in 1867, and the dark
skin has been disappearing from the
body ever SINCE The physicians who
examined him today think that should
the old man live a few years longer he
will be entirely white save perhaps the
face. A peculiar feature of the case is
that the face has not been turning white
along with the rest of the body, the
white only showing at a few places be-
meath the hair on the forehead, and not
on the face at all.-Lexington (Ky.)
