The eighth volume of James Ford
Rhodes great history has lately been pub
lshed-"History of the United States from
Hayes to Mckinley. 1s77-1s96." CMacmIllan).
1t covers the Administrations OF Hayes
Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland, Harrison and
Cleveland again. During those admins
trations some big things happened. OF
these the most important were the reform
OF the civil service, the silver panic OF 1899
and the repeal of the Silver Purchase act.
the Chicago riots and the Venezuela con-
troversy with England. Many other things
of great interest happened in those years,
but these seem to have been the most inn
partant. and it Will be noticed that they
all fell in Cleyeland's administrations The
reform of the civil service was well begun
and forwarded by Hayes, but Cleveland
gave it the strongest and most efficient
support. Indeed, one closes this volume
with renewed admiration for Cleveland and
with increased respect for Hayes.
1t seems superfluous to say anything of
the qualities of Dr. Rhodes as a scholar
and a writre. Among these qualities are
strong and clear mind just spirit, an
admirable temper and simple style. One
could not be more free from affectation,
self-consciousness and pomposity. l have

moment become tempest tossed by the
perfidy, the defalcation. the dishonesty or
neglect of hundred thousand subordi-
mates. Sherman had a sound sense ofl
relative values.
DR.. Rhodes likes to illustrate and enforcel
history by tales of concrete instances and
ieXpends but little breath in abstract specu-l

book of more than three hundred pages is
intended to illustrate this contention. Mr.
Graham will be remembered by many as
the author of "The Way Of Martha and
the Way of Mary" He writes well and
with every evidence of truth and au-
thority, relating many anecdotes of the
men composing the brigade of which he
was a member and dealing unsparingly
with certain cases of brutality or neces-
sary discipline Of which he was cognizant.
His pages go over great deal of ground
that has been covered before, but he
seems to me to shed new light on cer-
tain phases of the British service. In
speaking of mans first meeting with his
wife after enlisting he says
'She has not seen him in uniform before
and it makes a great difference in his APP
pearance. She grasps, even if he does not,
that the uniform means that he does not
belong to her as before, that he belongs

conventional way because in uniform he
already looks a hero. but there always is
a poignant other feeling beneath. She is

not the same man as went away from her.

New Novels by Henry James.

From time to time my work OF book
reviewing is frightened by the perusal of
bit of real literature, and this always
occurs when a volume by Henry James
1alls INTO my hands Under the title "A
Landscape Painter" Messrs. Scott and
Seltzer have brought out four short novels
by this distinguished author, not one OF
which they say, has been published I'm
book form in this country before. They
add that the second of these tales. Poor
Richard, is the one that first attracted
the attention of Mr. Howells when he read
it for the Atlantic Monthly, and that he
was so pleased with it that he advised
the editor to accept "al the stories you
can get from that writer"
The stories are all in the authors
earlier manner" if l may quote from
the art critics lexicon BY this I mean
10 say that they are written in pure Eng
lish and with the same lucidity of ex-
preston that marks The Bostonians''
and The Portrait of a Lady" The reader
will note also that each tale moves on
TO its own logical conclusion. from which
Mr.. James would not devate even for
that happy ending which is the delight

point of view-that it is a waste of time
TO interest ones self in a love affair only
to find at the end that nothing comes of
it, But there is a difference between a
literary artist and n commercial one.
To my mind the best of the stories is
the one from which the book takes it's
title. It's beginning is so like that OF
Tennyson's lyrical account of Lord Bur-
leighs romantic wooing that we feel quite
certain as TO how it will end. An eligible
young man, dilletante in the art Of paint
ing and the possessor OF an income of one
hundred thousand dollars a year, settles in
a small New England village as a poor
artist and straightway falls in love with
the daughter of the house in which he

More About Louis Stevenson.

So much has been written of the late
