Lothrop.

Flossy Tangleskein was an imaginative little girl, who was so discontented with her "hum-drum-breadand-butter-spelling-book, American child-life, that she even said to herself she would gladly change to a little Zulu savage or an almond eyed Oriental." One day she falls asleep in the studio of an artist friend, to whom she was posing for a picture of a Breton peasant child. In her dreams she has many adventures, and undergoes many transformations, becoming in turn a child of almost every nation on the globe. She has thus a chance to test her wish, but returns to reality quite satisfied that to be a little American girl is about the best of all. The story is an attractive mixture of fact and fiction, information and fairy-land advenures.

The readers of the Intelligencer have been made familiar with the portion of this story which has appeared serially in its columns. To adapt it for general use in this country the translator has added one original chapter and a part of another, embracing historical details, which make the situations more clear to American readers. The tale includes events and characters connected with the Churches under the Cross' from their beginnings to their establishment in the State Church after the great conflict for civil and religious liberty was ended. Mr. Van Pelt has done well in giving this interesting story its English dress. The narrative is vividly drawn and the translation is spirited and strong. It will make an excellent addition to any Sunday school library."

Following in the line of so many notable sucesssors, this work needs no lengthy setting forth of its merits. Dr. Taylor's "Daniel the beloved," " David, King of Israel,' Moses," "Elijah," and "Peter the Apostle," all of the series to which this volume belongs, are Biblical biographies written with exceptional freshness and picturesqueness. The story of Joseph as found in Genesis is given in the same style; the incidents of his life are described in a familiar, graphic way, which appeals to any one's fondness for a story, while at the same time a lesson-Christian Intelligencer. is deducted from each successive step of his career. The book is for the inspiration of the young, the support of those who are bearing the burden and heat of the meridian of life, or the solace of the aged."

Goodwin, although upon a hackneyed theme, will How They Learned Housework,' by Christina find many interested readers among the young girls from 14 to 16 years of age-especially those who sometimes wish they really did know something about housework. It is a story of four girls who in quite an unexpected way learned to sweep, dust, do plain sewing, washing, ironing, and some cooking. An unavoidably long vacation from school duties came to them through the illness of their teacher. One mother proposed they should learn housework; another kindly instructed them a few hours every day, and by her capability and wit made housework very attractive to her pupils. The failures and successes of their efforts will be thoroughly appreciated by others in like difficulties. This pleasing story may also suggest new ways of learning something of that whereof American girls among the better classes' are sadly ignorant as a rule. All their lives long women of this class live in exasperating bondage to bumptious, lying, ignorant servants, whose tyranny is as brutal as it is senseless."-Chicago Times.

LITERARY MISCELLANY.

A RARE BOOK.-"The folly of the craze for rare books, merely because they are rare, seldom has a more curious illustration," says the N. Y. Examiner, "than in this little story. A copy of Dicken's 'Strange Gentleman,' one of the rarest of his productions, was recently bought by a small bookseller in England for 3d. By him it was sold for 15s. to a young man in the trade: he in his turn disposing of the book to another person for £1. This last knew the value of his prize, and, in spite of its being imperfect, resold the volume for £5 to a well-known firm of booksellers, who now want somewhere about £12 for it. A perfect copy is worth £20. It is quite a small pamphlet, and has been reprinted-without the frontispiece."

MR. LOWELL. in his address at the Royal Acad. emy dinner in London, referred as follows to his return to England and his feeling for that land: For myself I have only to say that I come back from my native land confirmed in my love of it and in my faith in it. I come back also full of warm gratitude for the feeling that I find in England; I find in the old home a guest chamber prepared for me and a warm welcome. Repeating what his Royal Highness the Commander in-Chief has said, that every man is bound in duty if he were not bound in affection and loyalty to put his own country first, I may be allowed to steal a leaf out of the book of my adopted fellow citizens in America, and while I love my native country first, as is natural, I may be allowed to say I love the country next best which I cannot say has adopted me, but which I will say has treated me with such kindness, where I have met with such universal kindness from all classes and degrees of people, that I must put that country at least next in my affection."

LEOPOLD VON RANKE, the eminent German historian, died in Berlin on May 23d, in the ninety-first year of his age. Dr. von Ranke was born at Wiehe, in Thuringia, on December 21, 1795. His first work was published in 1824. The History of Roman and German Nations from 1494 to 1535." The work which first gave him European reputation was entitled "The Popes of Rome," which was really a continuation of "The Princes and Peoples of Southern Europe." This work appeared in 1834. The Weltgeschichte," which he hoped to make his magnum opus, has been left incomplete. Of the nine volumes planned, six have, however, been written, and it is hoped that sufficient notes and documents may be accumulated to permit at least one more volume to be added by the historian's literary legatee. Among his more recent publications were "A History of Wallenstein," 1869; "The German Powers and the League of Princes," being a history of Germany from 1780 to 1790, published in 1871; "A History of England, Principally in the Seventeenth Century," 1875, and two biographies of Frederick the Great and Frederick Wilhelm, 1978.

JOHN STRANGE WINTER.-Mrs. Henrietta Eliza Vaughan Stannard, better known to the reading public under her nom de plume of "John Strange Winter," the author of Bootle's Baby," "Hoop-la!" "Army Society," and many other charming stories of army life, was born at York, England, January 13, 1856, and is the only daughter of Henry Vaughan Palmer, rector of St. Margaret's, York, formerly in the Royal Artillery, who came of a long line of soldiers, and was a descendant of the Palmers of Wrigham, through Sir Roger Palmer (Lord Castlemaine), who was his great-great grandfather. One of her father's great grandmothers was the celebrated Hannah Pritchard, the actress, whose monument, raised by public subscription, in Westminster Abbey, may be found close to those of Shakespeare and Scott. Harper's Bazar of June 26, from which we

take the above facts, gives a very interesting account, chiefly in Mrs. Stannard's own words, of her first attempts at story-writing for the public. At fourteen she had completed "Clotilde's Vengeance," the first literary venture sent into the world, and her synopsis of this story is very touchingly humorous.

WILLIAM BLACK'S METHODS.-" Unlike many seasoned literary workmen, who, like him, have gone through the rough and ready training of journalism, Mr. Black finds it impossible," says the London World, to work amid noise and bustle of any kind. More than this, he cannot endure the presence of any other person in the room while he is writing. Mrs. Black, therefore, takes good care that his den aloft shall be during working hours unassailable even, as far as possible, by sound. This sensitiveness to disturbing influences arises in no small measure from his method of constructing his work men tally before committing it to paper, even to the extent of arranging the dialogue and sometimes composing the actual sentences. This method was, we believe, followed by Jerrold, whose manuscript rarely showed signs of correction. Everything was thoroughly corrected and arranged mentally. Whether such a system of work is good for the workman or not is doubtful, for it certainly puts a strain on what the famous calculating boy called the power of mental registration. Mr. Black himself declines to recommend it, holding that good literary workmen, like good horses, go in all forms. I think,' he will say, everybody finds out for himself how he does his

work best.'

MR. CRAWFORD'S DESCRIPTIVE POWERS.—“ Mr. Crawford's new story, 'Sarracinesca,' opens in Blackwood," says the New York Tribune, "with a strength of description and an instant seizure of the reader's interest which are unusual. His picture of the Rome of twenty years ago and his comparisons of the travellers of that day and this are clever and amusing. There is a great deal of truth in this little paragraph: This is the age of incompetent criticism in matters artistic, and no one is too ignorant to volunteer an opinion. It is sufficient to have visited half a dozen Italian towns, and to have read a few pages of fashionable æsthetic literature-no other education is needed to fit the intelligent young critic for his easy task. The art of paradox can be learned in five minutes, and practised by any child; it consists chiefly in taking two expressions of opinion from different authors, halving them, and uniting other. The result is invariably startling, and generally incomprehensible. When a young society critic knows how to be startling and incomprehensible, his reputation is soon made, for people readily believe that what they cannot understand is profound, and anything which astonishes is agreeable to a taste deadened by a surfeit of spices.'

WHAT CAN BOOKS Do?-"What can books do for us? Dr. Johnson, the least pedantic of men," says Macmillan's Magazine, "put the whole matter into a nutshell, (a cocoanut shell, if you will-heaven forbid that I should seek to compress the great doctor within any narrower limits than my metaphor requires,) when he wrote that a book should teach us either to enjoy life or endure it. Give us enjoyment!' Teach us endurance!' Hearken to the ceaseless demand and the perpetual prayer of an ever unsatisfied and an always suffering humanity! How is a book to answer the ceaseless demand? Self forgetfulness is of the essence of enjoyment, and the author who would confer pleasure must possess the art or know the trick of destroying for the time the reader's own personality. Undoubtedly the easiest way of doing this is by the creation of a host of rival personalities-hence the number and popularity of novels. Whenever a novelist fails his

book is said to flag; that is, the reader suddenly (as in skating) comes bump down upon his own personality, and curses the unskillful author. No lack of characters and continual motion is the easiest recipe for a novel, which, like a beggar, should always be kept "moving on.' Nobody knew this better than Fielding, whose novels, like most good ones, are full of inns."

MRS. EWING'S MEMORIAL.-A memorial stone has been placed upon the grave of the late Mrs. Ewing. in the churchyard of Trull, Somerset. It consists of a large recumbent block of white Sicilian marble, gabled at the four sides, and panels within the gables. Those at the head and at the foot contain delicatelycarved tufts of the double French primrose, which is said to be the flower dedicated to St. Juliana. The plant was carefully cultivated by Mrs. Ewing in her garden, on account of its association with her namesake, as well as for its own beauty and fragrance. On two of the gables are shields suspended by bons; the north one has the initials J. H. E. in monogram, the south one is left plain. The cross that crowns the entire ridge line of the coped top is foliated at each extremity with a bunch of early conventionalized foliage of the thirteenth century type. On the bevelled face of the north side of the upper stone runs the following inscription:

"Here lies the body
of

Rev. Alfred Gatty, D.D., and Margaret his wife.

MAURICE THOMPSON.-" While Mr. W. D. Howells the great and kindly poet, came into the office one was the editor of the Atlantic Monthly, Longfellow, morning and sat down. Howells had just opened an envelope containing a poem bearing the signature of Maurice Thompson, and the postmark of Crawfordsville, Ind. He read the poem aloud to Longfellow: It began abruptly as follows:

46

"I heard the wood-pecker pecking,
I heard the sap-sucker singing,

I turned and looked out of my window
And lo, it was spring!'

'Both the editor and Longfellow were struck,”. says the Buffalo Post, "with a certain force and freshness of style in the verses. Howells immedirib-ately wrote to the new poet, a person never before heard of in the city of Boston, that if he would put bluebird in the place of sap-sucker the poem should go into the Atlantic. The change was made-for the worse, we think, and as Mr. Howells afterward admitted the poem published, and Maurice Thompson's career of authorship was begun. Mr. Thompson's youth and boyhood were wild and picturesque. He was born in Indiana, but was taken by his parents, who were Southerners, to live in northern Georgia while he was yet a mere child. The spot selected for the new home was a lonely one in the midst of wild pine clad hills, near a beautiful little river. There, in an old mossy house, set deep in the Cherokee wilderness, far from neighbors, excepting the rough mountaineers and "crackers," the boy was reared to manhood. He was but twelve years old when he refused to longer study inside a house and began to take his books to the woods. If his teacher would give him a lesson in Greek or Latin or French he must go with him into the forest and sit on some high cliff or beside some mountain brook. He early became an expert rifleman, and by the merest chance was led to study and practice archery. All the world knows the history of his wandering with bow and quiver. On one of his lonely excursions he penetrated to Lake Okeechobee, in lower Florida, of which he gives rather a fanciful account in the Witchery of Archery.'

And all around the chamfer on the bottom stone in distinct leaden letters may be read: "They that turn many to righteousness shall shine as the stars forever and ever." The white stone shines out from under the shadow of the yew tree which hangs near the grave, and in its simplicity and beauty is a very fitting monument of her whose resting-place it marks. A HARD THINKER." When I was in London, in the fifties,' writes a Brooklyn friend," to the N. Y.
