confined to her room, il not to her

At dinner, which was a formal af-
fair In honor Of the rector and his
wife, Miss Carney greeted me cordial

evanescent flush that lighted up her
face, and vanished as quickly as 1t
came, she gave no sign that my t.

on down the little gravel walk toward

THE LIFE OF DOUGLAS.

Clark Il. Carr Ii. u, Ilustrai cd,
Published by ~ {, McClurS y Co"
Chicago.
The writings of Mr. Carr arc of the
most interesting charactcr-all of
them, His previous works, "Tbe IL
lini, My Day and Gcneration," and
Lincoln at Gettysburg" have all
found a large and apprcciativc public.
This work, in eulogy of Stephen y.
Douglas, is of the same order of in
tense personal interest as his former
works. Mr., Carr is in entire sympathy
with Douglas in his struggles Us a
young man in Illinois, when he was
making his way TO the front rank Of
statesmen, OF all this Mr.. Carr is very
proud, and his desire in this book is TO
place Senator Douglas in his proper
light before the public as he appeared
when conspicuous actor IN the ma
tion public affairs
Mr. Carr thinks that scanC Justice
has been done 10 Mr. Douglas, that
hls ability patriotism. and splendid
ciatcd as they should he lie thinks
that the exalted fame, high achieve
mcnts. and grand character of Abra-
ham Lincoln have thus far ovcrshad-
owed the rcputc of Senator Douglas;
but he holds that the patriotic pco-
pic of America should never forget
Douglas $ public services, and argues
that il was in proving himself able
to meet and successfully cope with the
illustrious Senator Douglas that Lin
coin made himself known TO The great
American public, BY his conquest OF
Douglas he took 10 himself the Doug
las prominence, and ovcrshadowcd all
the fame that Douglas had won in his
long public service.
In this work Mr. Carr tells dramat-
ically OF Douglass s first appearance in
Illinois, of his speedy arising to poll
teal prominence, of his early speeches
as a jackson Democrat, of his ap-
proval of the Mexican War, his bitter
fight in the Oregon boundary contro-
verSy, his great service 10 Illinois in
the cbartcring of the Illinois Central
Railway, Of his sympathy with the
carly Pacific Railway projects, of his
advocacy Of the internal waterways
and Of an lsthmian canal, and in gen
cral of his high and illustrious serv.
ices as a public official and AS states
man. He tells most dramatically Of
the difficulties that Douglas met with
crn propaganda, and of his pronounced
staInchncss to the staying of that
propaganda, and he shows how Douglas
rallied graudIy 10 the support of the
Nation when it was actually attacked
by secession.
An appendix gives in full Senator
Douglas s speech in the House Of Rep
reseutatives in yiudicatiou of Andrew
Jackson; his speech on the annexation
Of Texas and the Mexican War, and
other speeches and extracts from
speeches on great uublic nucstions and
especially his final pathetic plea for the
Union, his last speech in the Senate,
