 We have received from Charles Scribner's Sons "The Glory of His Country by Frederick Landis. It Is remarkable story of life in Happy. vile, Tennessee town, and vicinity The war veterans are striking char. acters, and there are several scenes that would make admirable readings for the entertainment of the c. A. R. post or the W. R. O., or at joint meeting. The scene at the death bed, where the letter of Lincoln figures, is moving and dramatic in the ex. treme.
