much of her book is made up of those
charming trities which fascinats one

body knows and has rend so much about.
Lea ing the highways of the cities she
has searched the byways for hidden
treasure, and has found it, TO the delecta-
ton of her reader. Her style is animated
and her descriptio ms are vivid, and she
easily seizes the salient and picturesque
points of all that she discovery.
Mrs. Harris first describes Gibraltar
and it is evidently not an agreeable abid-
ing place for the British officers and their
families who are stationed there
I OF Malaga there is much that is inter-
esting, and especially life I'm the noun
tains where one wonders that any lady
delicately reared could have stayed for
more than day.
Ihen there is Seville with it's bull
lights and its beauties, its wonderful fairs
which are sui generis. Perhaps this does
not sound very fresh or very captivating
and one would say I'VE have heard of it
many time. " but with the writer's keen
observation, unusual opportunities and
unique way ofsputting things it all seems,
and much is, new, as well as most pleas
ing.
by the way, see that Col. Henry In

for himself in the world of literature
The Great salt Lake Trail, The Old santa
Fe Trail, illustrated by Frederic Rening-

Congressman Sulloway Of the nrst New
Hampshire district, in a recent utter
view makes this frank statement OF MS
idea of the way in which the Anglo
saxons promote civilization:
1.-THE Anglo-Saxon advances into new
regions with Bible in one hand and
shotgun in the other. The inhabitants
of these regions that he cannot convert
wi h the aid Of the Bible and bring into
his markets he gets rid OF with tine
snoi gun. lt is but another demonstration
of the survival OF the tiutest.
While he does not say so be doubtless
expsc.s that this is the way that ne
shall promote civilization in the Philip
nfness We fear, however, that some OF
our annexation friends may forget the
Bible altogether and rely entirely upon
the shot gun. In the promotion of evil
ization down in Wilmington lately we
saw no signs of the Bible but plenty of
the shot gun-and the best citizens"
were engaged In that movement, too.

partment shows that on Nov. II, the i40th

little over 81. 900, 900 was from the duty
