From the monograph of Mr.. Muir it appears
that Alaska is a peculiarly interesting spot in

The problem confronting Evelyn Innes is the
ancient problem of good and evil. and it is
pcated for her as for US all, by temperament
10y circumstance, by the myriad forces which
enter into the nominalIy simple issue between the
spirit and the flesh, increasing the perils of the
conflict and making it seem sometimes a burden
too intolerable to be borne. 1t is in her groan-
ngs beneath the burden that Evelyn is typical
and interesting; il is in her weakness that her
humanity as a figure in fiction resides We left
her in the book 10 which she gave a name, at
the parting of the ways. She had abandoned
the stage. Presumably she would enter con-
vent. But these We're only external facts. What
of her inner life? Would it flow with ease
through new channels? or would the old
struggle so on? 1t goes on. With a nature hike
hers it could not help but so on. To change the
dress OF Isolde for the cOnventuaI habit is not
TO transform the soul as if by magic. over and
over again Mr. Moore emphasizes the infinite
difference between remuneration and refusal, the
gulf that divides the girlish novice, turning her
back on the world without having tasted its
delights, from the penitent woman leaving a
life that has long satisfied many of the sOrest
needs of her nature. Evelyns growth in spirit
ualitv is necessarily arduous and slow-so SLOW
that we can imagine the recital of her struggles
wearing on the patience of an unsympathetc
reader But who can discern the nat
uralness in her varying moods can fail to feel
their pathos, and to let impatience melt into

Professor Fernow's accounts II the Alaskan

reserve for the people Of the country to fail back
upon when our own supplies of wood are eX-
hausted. The Alaskan forest growth is of q
character which makes the prospect Of reliance
upon its stores by no means cheerful. most ot

The Fleet Did Not Return.

PARIS. Nov 1.-The dispatch from Tou-

squadron to that port, proves TO be incor-

the fleet had not returned, and that the
facts set forth in these dispatches yester-
day are correct. The admiral is now on
his way TO Turkish waters The incorrect
announcement from 1oulon OF the return
of Admiral Caillards division emanated
from the correspondent OF "A well-known
news agency. The explanation is that Ad-
miral Maigret, commander OF the Mediter-
Tanean fleet, returned To Touion at o clock
yesterday evening with all his vessels eN-
cept those belonging TO Admiral Caillard ;
division. The correspondent OF the news
