LETTERS TO M. c. AND Fl. E.

Iby JOhH huSKIh.D
 This little volume besides the valuable introduction by Mir. Wyndham, has two papers by Canon Scott Holland on Rus kin and Gladstone" and the Dead Rus kin." The letters are to two daughters of the Gladstone family, and are not very important. but some interesting touches of the great man appear. This sentence may serve as specimen: How infinite ly, in the full seise of the word, better to suffer such grief than never to have loved enough to be capable of It." Refer ing to one of his noteworthy periods. he exclaims: T wrote that sentence over five times before I was satisfied, and then the young ladies call 1t 'gushr D It will be long time before anything pertaining either to Ruskin or to Gladstone fails to receive attention.-(Harper & Bro, N.

A VICTIM or CONSCIENCE.


 The Ghetto of New York (so one sup- poses 1t to be) in 1850 Is the setting of the very hysterical. sentimental tale. "A Vie tim of Conscience" A poverty-stricken Jew seeks his fortune in the gold fields of California and while there he Is goad- ed into the murder of his partner The bulk of the book goes to showing his wretched mental state and his efforts to find peace fin the creeds of various relig- ions. That the murdered man should turn up in the last chapter, unmurdered Is no more than one expects, and affords an easy ending to a very unimportant story. Henry T. Coates & Co.,, Phila- delphia).

THE AN0Lo-sAxoN CENTURY.

 A singular book to be produced by a Portuguese. But Mir. DosPasos. who ia member of the New York bar and a writer of some note upon legal topics. be- lieves that the present supremacy of Eng land and America in numbers, wealth and colonial possessions ought to be and might be rendered doubly secure and per- rnanent by offensive and defensive alli- ances. He lays oue a program for an Angio-Saxon league, the one Obstacle to which we might say is tlle simpossibility of getting either country to agree to It. He lays as his first stone In his temple of peace, perfect free trade between the two countries just at a time when Amer jeans are reafiirming protection and Eng land is talking of adopting 1t. Neverthe- less 1t is delightful to read in Mr. Dos- Pasos's pages what Americans and Eng hshmen might joinly accomplish If they would cooperate instead of competing. The first step in the process would be the voluntary incorporation of Canada into the body politics of the American Union. That Is indeed from our standpoint a con summation devoutly to be wished: but there never was a time when it seemed more remote than now. We think tho atf- thor makes out the desirability of his scheme. We wish we could say that he demonstrates its feasibility. co. F. Put nam's Sons, N. Y.)

LOSS OF LIFE FEARED.
Several Shanty Boats Crushed by the
Flood ,.. .ts.


Evansville, Ind, March 12.-The
Ohio river reached 42.4 feet during the
morning and was stationary at that
point. At the weather bureau it was
explained that the river would begin
going higher during the day. Naviga-
tion is now difficult and at numerous
points vessels cannot get to landings
Ten miles below here the flood is
above the foundation of the houses
near the river. At Rhams Station the
water is. two feet deep in houses and
business is suspended.
Several shanty boats on the Wabash
and Green rivers have been crushed in
the floods and loss of life is feared.
Farmers about Mount Vernon have
fled from the high waters, taking their
household goods and live stock. A
large force of men are at work where
the Evansville and Terre Haute rail-
way crosses White river. At this
point a trestle 1000 feet long is neces-
Esary to keep the high water from
touching the railway tracks and pre-
vent the bridge washing away.
In the White river bottoms, as far
as the eye can see, fields are covered
with water and thousands of trees are
inundated. Houses are vacant, the
occupants being forced out by the
water. White river is still rising.
