NnDOIeOn LII.

Napoleon III and His Court" by I'm
bert de Saint-Amand. translated by
Elizabeth Gilbert Martin is a careful,
weli-written story of the career of that
monarch, from the time of his accession
to the throne of France. The author is
something of a -worshiper, and he
regards this Napoleon as hero; people
who do not like the works and ways of
the Empire will therefore be likely to
take exception to some of his work. At
the same time, there is a great deal of
useful and interesting information in
the book, which does not depend at all
on this personal view, and it is given
without encumbrance in the way of use
less rhetoric. The chapters relating to
the visit of the emperor and empress
10 England and the visit of Queen Vic
toria to France are particularly inter
esting and so is a great deal of the
information relating to the Empress Eu-
genie. The book is, in fact a history of
the emperor in his private as well as his
public life, and as such will have for
most people an interest which no history
of a purely official nature can have The
book Is gotten up in a fashion quite fit
ting, even for the biography of an en-
peror. The binding is substantial and
elegant, and there is number of fine
portraits of Napoleon, his family and
the prominent men of his court.

Capt. Kings Latest Book.

Rays Recruit" by Captain Charles
King, is the latest volume of the Lotos
Library, which is a series of books small
enough to be slipped into a small pocket,
and clearly printed enough TO read on
railway journey without danger of any
optical disease with long name. The
nero OF this tale is a manly youth, and
although the first chapter finds him in
Switzerland, it is a foregone conclusion
that he should lose his money and go to
the far West a soldier in the United
states Army. This he does, and after
some lively adventures among them
railway smash-up, an exploded powder
magazine. and impending arrest as sus-
picious character and train-robber, he is
allowed to marry the girl of his choice
and have his character cleared to the
satisfaction of all concerned. Those who
know the works of Captain King will
know what this one is like, and those who
do not, will be able TO read it through in
a very short time.

A Southern Fairy Tale.

"The Princess of the Moon, by Cora
Semmes Ives, is a book for children,
which, according TO the author, repro
duces in permanent form tale told to
little friends of her own. The two
things conspicuous in this book are its
Southern atmosphere and it's moral pur-
pose Possibly the former includes the
latter; at any rate, both are there. The
hero begins his career in a Confederate
uniform, and in this garb mounts horse
with wings and takes a journey through
the air, in course of time arriving at the
moon and ultimately at the gate of
heaven. He concludes his career in
costume compounded of the jewels OF
Aladdin and the picturesqueness of the
Three Guardsmen, and some garments of
the time of Richard J. for he wears a
hat with a white plume in ii, a doublet
of sky-blue velvet, lined with ermine,
falling from his shoulders" a collar of
precious stones, and a belt OF glittering
sapphire and rubies. These are his
wedding clothes. The transition might
be a little trying to an ordinary man.
but a fairy tale hero is different.
The heroine awakens dim but delightful
"reminiscences. When one reads that
her golden curls fell in graceful profu-

BaiIade of Vanity Fair.

Silken and satin and velvet floss,
Whetting the hunger Of longing eyes,
Draperes softer than woodland moss,
COlors as bright the summer skies;
These are the wares that the merchant cries,
As music streams the iansuid air
Burdencd with many waiden'S sghs
In the golden mart OF Vanity Fair.
There is a diamond fit To emboss
The shield of a Paris; there, too, lies
A song whose surges OF passion toss
With such art fOpS and gdlants prize;
The slave OF fashion struts here and buys,
Jostlng or hustled by men OF prayer,
With often a TOOL in critics guise
In the golden mart OF Vanity Fair.
An outcast lone where yOn two roads cross,
Ever a trade in spectlCles plies
That whose weareth pOmp and dTcSs
From the gilded stalls in yapor rise,
Fabrics whose hue with the iris vies,
Change 20 the sables of grim despair,
And the ruby's fame ebbs low and dies
In the golden mart oi Vanity Fair.
L'ENVoI.
Prince, enough is a word 10 the wise:
Let Others flutter in frenzy there,
Folly may loiter, but honor flies.
