1871-65. By James Bassett, (New York: Scrihner'a Bona) James Bassett, a missionary of the Presbyterian board, gives a very interesting series of sketches about life In Persia. -The eleven years of his residence and travels covered some important changes in Persia, and they are told in the chapters in a concise and pleasing wsy. The book has a map snowing the routes traveled, which adds much to the interest and correct understanding of the text. One will not arise from a perusal of the volume with any desire to settle in Per sia, It is a land where cruelties are common.

and but small promise ot any great changes in the near future. Outlaws are numerous. although outlawry is punished by torture. One ot Mr, Bassett's traveling companions tells nim that, when passing over the road between Tabris and Mean some year fore, he saw the skeletons of several robbers who had been kilted oy putting them tn tank and pouring newly mixed plaster -of parts oa them. Our traveler has very posi tive ideas of defending nimseil and his serr ants, so when an attempt is mads to kill the cnrwtiaa Persians wno I allow mm, end a anatlo makes a rush with a long knife "aa unintentional gesture" of one of Mr.

Bassett's hands toward a revolver fastened to the bow of his saddle warns the ruffians to keen at a distance. Speaking ot Buaaian influeaoe in the seo- nos oi country adjacent to tne uaaptan. it is all-important and is constantly increasing. As to proeelytism, it la aometh'ng prohibited by tne Bossian law. Missionary work is considered to be such, and is therefore not tol erated.

"Agents of the British and Foreign Bible Societies are permitted to sell the bcriptnrea. but ia time peat the same privil ege has been refused the American Bible So ciety." The author supposes that the reasons for this are twofold the nneongenlal polit ical sentiments of the American agent, or "the fear or competition in the held ot relig lou enterprise." During Mr. Baseett'n ear it aojouro ia Persia he became acquainted with the characteristics oi the ur unman. Then they had not been put under the subjection of the Russians. The ferocity of this nomad was of the most revolting kind.

Both Turcoman and Persian made slaves and treated captives with the most revolting cruelty. To day Persia has peace on her border. "The Turcoman as be. was, the sooarge and terror ot astern Persia ana Central Asia, has ceased to be, and has given way to another The author tells many interesting things about tue people, their nabiM, and modes oi uving. tie tells about bread-malting at hUmnon.

"In the pavements were the holes eaiiea tanorera, or ovena iwoor three wo men sat oa each terrace engeged with their work, 4r to See- the process of bread-making aa carried on' tn a systematic way, I went to one of the terraces.

One woman nr. red the flour and passed it tn another, who kneaded it and rolled it with a wooden roller.

With a dex terous movement of her ha nle- she took the oak of dough upon th tipa et bar causing it to revolve until it (became thin aa a knife blade. She tbea passed it to a third woman, who received the Cake on a pad, over which it was stretched to the full size. A fourth woman took the pad "with her right bano, and. kneeling over the ureless though hot oven, with a quick motion dashed the aouru against wo cemeuteu eiae, wnere was soon done and browned, and whence: waa quickly removed. The author says iaicn in-Mohammed appears st a low ebb in Persia." and "the re ligion of Bab has many follower.

Carnegie is a Scotch man, and while loring his birth-place, he ays npon his opening page. "To the be loved Bepublio under Whose equal laws I am made the peer of aay man, although denied political equality by my native land, I dedicate, this book, with the intensity of gratitude and admiration which the native- born citizen can neitner feel nor understand." The deaiga of the author la more to lmriress British readers, and open their eyes to the grandeur of the new world, than it Is to en- iignten American readers or excite them to new enaeavora In his preface, as he ex presses it, "it is to the people of Britain that I aeek to show the progress, prosperity and happineesot their child, the BepuDlio, that sney may the more deeply love It and learn that tne government ef the people through the Bepubiican form, and not the government of a class through the monarchical form is the surest found uion of individual growth and ot National greatness." It nevertheless is a good book for the study of Americans to the manner born. It can not but Increase their pride and love and veneration for the land and the Institutions of the land which to-day. stands out foremost among the nations ot the earth. There is no danger of training Americans to a too deep love of country.

Every teacher and every preacher ana every parent in ail the broad acres, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, ahould constantly impress upon the minds of the young the grandeur and the priceless value of the in-nerltauoe they have received. Looking at onr American institutions ia their reality and their possibilities in the future, through the eyse ot an adopted son who glories la them, can not uo less than to arouse answ patriotism in its broadest and best sense. The book is beautifully printed in bold, clear type, aud is as pleasant to the eyes as its contents are valuable aud interesting. "Lovras Form and maxdxxs Fits: a 8 tost or hb Axxxohxst MopxTArita'r By Jules Chambers. There are few more charming spots than Cresson Springs nestled, among the mountains, and a love story located in its deep shaded valleys and along its moss grown and rugged peaks will ot itself have a charm for those who have themselves enjoyed the luxuries of the place.

The story narrated in the little volume is bright and sparkling. It la rather a novel Idea to start on. Four young men visit Cresson for the summer, and find live charming giria There is lots ot fun to start with but it soon devel-opes that five girls and tour men don't make an even team and disorganization breaks into the ranks. Two ot the young genu lived in Philadelphia and two in New Xork. Naturally readers are expected to believe they knew all that was worth knowing.

Two of the young ladies were from Philadelphia, one from Cincinnati, one frcra New York, and one from Chicago. One couple got married and the author says they were engaged in this wise "I worship you. Nudette. No man ever loved woman as I leva you. He then pressed his lips to her'a They were as cold as marble.

8oe was happy to the verge of a shudder. The first time a woman la kissed by the man she really loves her lips are toy coin. So la her nose." If this quotation don't show the author an adept la each things, it will be difficult to convince the readme The writing Is quite epigzammattc and can be read through at a single sitting, and will, perhaps, persuade the next four young men alike situated to aknrry around and hunt up an extra beau, "Black Hammi" ako Otexk Poems. By William Llghtloot Ylsschsz. in sending out the second edition cf his volume ot poems Captain Tisscber, the well-known newspaper man and lecturer, says la his characteristic wsy: "As the first edition of this book was exhausted within a very few weeks alter its publication, the second one is offered with a hope that It will be exhausted in even less tame, tor I am anxious to exhibit the fact that can stand the exhaustion with as muoh fortitude as the nubile can." This introduction is dued at Cheyenne, Feb.

SO, and by this time the poems are on the market ready for those who save heard a good deal about the author and his work and desire to know mora Mr. Tlaachar has a reputation for hnmor and for sentiment, as well sa for aa inclination to mix them on short notice, This prevailing disposition shows to a good advantage in the title poem ot the collection. "Black Mammy." This is a pict-ture ot the ante-war life in the South, ana as the story Is told by an old colored woman wno had brought no two or three generations, had nursed them and slippered them and spanned them, and as she tells In her quaint way the romance of bonthern plantation life a stgnincant story creeps into the tender dialectllasa This "Black Mammy" Is so familiar to many readers that little more need be said ot the humor, the pathos, or of the genuine Southern spirit which la thrown Into the lines. It has stood the test both In the North and the South, and it will always be popular. The other poems take in the ringing verses on Grant's return and the various soldier and sentimental poems that Mr.

Viaaoher has written within tne last twenty yearn To the old soldiers or to the people of the Grand Array of the Bepublio Mr. Vlsacher needs no Introduction. To the newspaper men he needs none, and those of the public at large who make his acquaintance through this book will understand why he is popular among old soldiers and among newspaper men. Hashish. A novel.

By Thorold King. (Chicago: A a MoClarg This Is a home book both In the publishers and the author, and is creditable to both. Thorold King Is a torn de plume, and for fear ot telling too much we will only say it is understood that be ia a professional gentleman, and this a first effort. One reading the admirable pleas of the two lawyers In a celebrated trial recorded la the chapters will be apt to guess he is a lawyer. Further along, when the mysteries of Hashish come up for an Investigation, the reader may change his opinion and ssy the author belongs among the Ksculaplana But It matters not the reader will find the book absorbingly interesting.

It Is not often a first effort ahowa ao little that la faulty and so moon to commend. Every character is finely drawn and made consistent throughout, It is seldom that an author interests his readers ia so many characters other than the hero and heroine of the story. Mr. King makes every character he introduces essential to the plot, and the reader finds aa interest In each, in this particular tne novel is unusual. There is not a page that Is padded, but the story goes i right forward and is told so directly and ingeniously and in such good iSagilsh as to be quite captivating.

Our readers will doubtless In time hear again from Thorold King and ander his real name Lajtd. Labob, ast Law. By. W. A Phillips.

(New Xork: Chan Scrlbner's Bona) The author. Colonel Phillips, was among the pioneers of Ksnsis, and a man of large cultivation and study. Xears ago he served several terms la Congress, and. while serving as a member npon the Committee-npon Public Leads and upon Banking, he had oo-eaalon to 'thoroughly investigate sub jects npon wtuoa he now wrln Me Is aoc dogmatic ox dictatorial but presents a broad view of the subiect in the light of all history, and from an array of facta now exciting and interesting the pub-bo. No one can doubt but that they are aublects which will more and more enter Into the thoughts and discussions of intelli gent people and at ao late period fill a larger place in onr natis ox national legislation, for this reason the book can be regarded as timely, and for the admirable luetboda of the writing and its array ot facts and sound reasoning tt can also be marked as a good book to read and study.

It covers the broad field of discussion upoa the subject, and draws wiao conclusions lor tne latum. A he reader will not have to agree with Mr. Phillips tn ail his conclusions to mark it as a valuable contribution to literature at aa opportune tima Woxpcss or rag Htntxn Boot. From the French of A Le Pile nr. (Sew Xork: Charles Scrlbner's Sons) In the series "Wonders of Man and Nature" we have another excellent book, profoundly instructive.

It Is fully and very admirably illustrated, and In a method to make it a place in the school or in the study of mothers and daughters of the most refined home Considering Its lmportanoe there Is no study more neglected tnan that ot anatomy, physiology, and hygiene, in their relations to lite and health and aoci-denta A false modesty has long prevailed, even among aenaible people, in regard to studies ot this class, and multitudes of young men and young women have completed their education, while they remained profoundly Ignorant ot the structure of their own bodies or bad any wise knowledge of how healtn should be sustained.

By George Baa, (Sew Xork: Charles Soribner's 8ona) Of late years banking has come nearer being reduced to a scienoe than at any former In the United State the system never before was so complete and guarded. Our author, however, says in his preface: "The business of banking in this country may be said to be still in its Infancy." The author has an experience ot forty years, and in his book covers every duty which the banker is called to perform, and gives advice and instructions which the best can read with profit. Its conciseness, clearness of expres sion, snd the exoelienoe of its suggestions mark it as a more tnan ordinary nook, business man will find the principles here laid down, and the conclusions reached, adapted to bis use almost as much as to his banker.

From the Fraaoh of M. FaurieL (New Xork: AO. Armstrong St Son) This Is a deeply Interesting and instructive writing ot one ot the memorable periods of history. The romantic conditions attending Its publication, long after all the actors in the great drama have passed to their account, add to rather than detract from its Uteres, It is most spirited I and no doubt honest history, which would not have beea allowed to be published at the time It was written, when an espionage eras practiced and everything proscribed and prohibited which reflected npon or criticised the administration of Napoleon.

Adair Saarameato, CaL, in the little volume offers four short dramas, 'The Bitter End," "Floria," 'Dream of Bealms Beyond Us." and "Romer, King of Norway." The plots are original, the characters are well sustained, and the sentiments taught are elevating. The author, while opea to the charge of being an imitator, nevertheless possesses good dramatic talent and a genius that makes him much more than an imitator. He Is a good student of nature and his characters love and hate with a human intensity snd naturalness that is refreshing. The reader will find the drama Interesting reading: to make them practical for the stage they need a thorough overhauling.

All the Southern men in Washington re gret Jeff Davis recent appearance upoa the public stage. Mr. J. B. Randall, of the At lanta Couxlitulion, says that the Davis parade will undoubtedly ooet the Democratic party a great many votes in the North.

He says that very few people In tne South have any sympathy with lit Davia He said that it Mr. Davis hsd had the real Interests ot the Democratic party at heart he would not have come out. He says he will do Mr. Davie the justice to say that he did not want to come, but he is weak and very vain, and be waa flattered Into coming by two men woo desired to get up a parade which would help them la their political aspira tions. These men are General Joha B.

Gordon, of Georgia, and Elam. of Alabama Both of these men are candidates tor Gov ernorships in their respective States. They got np tue scheme zor tne purpose of stirring up a certain amount ot surface political excitement, which would bring them into prominence and consequently redound to their advantage. "Way," aald Mr. Randall, "the majority of those young fellows who did the snouting about Jeff Davis were not born when the war broke out, They hal never seen him In their Uvea The war to them was nothing but a tradition.

You know how people In this country. North as well as South, will run after any one who has notoriety just aa they will after a cirou. You know how easy it ia to start an American crowd Into yelling and hurrahing. To ssv that this demonstration has any particular meaning one way or the other is false. The Southern people as a class to-day are as loyal to this Government aa those ot any section.

The folly of the whole performance, how ever. Is this: It has given the Bepubiican orators of the North a topio which will serve them all through the campaign. It is a matter which can be employed much better thaa any argument. We can not fight bugaboos with oommoa sense or reason. I feel perfectly confident that the Jeff Davis bugaboo will lose us many votes, and it we load the nsxt House ot Representatives.

So ws toiled away steadily, in the hope that oar claim might IMM li.lnn 1 4. discouraging way of yielding much like that of one of our neighbor's; I called to its owner one day as I was Darning, Well.

He in trod need himself as Henry Fisher, and In a few weli-choaen words told ns his story. His home was near Dubuque. Iowa; he had become involved through assisting a friend, and had arrived la Orezon two months before via the plains; he had beea tempted thither by the wonderful news from the mines, belle Ting he could here most readily obtain the means to clear his farm of the mortgage noon it, bat had so far barely succeeded in scraping together enough to enable him to return.

He little knew how unfortunate he waa in Be lectins us for advisers: not to sneak of our own poor success, one of our number was the most relentless practical joker I have ever met: after gaining his point he was likely to be very repentant, and would again surprise his victim by doing him some substantial kindness; but he was always ready to repeat hia folly on the first occasion that offered. Turning Instantly to our visitor, he said to him In a way likely to disarm all suspicion: eee I must act as spokesmen for my chums, as usual; I eaa read their noughts so well I know I nave their full consent to put you on ths track of some, thing good. We have been saving np several spots around here that we think are rich to hnlah off with when we get this claim worked out, but quite likely we won't be any toorer a year hence for giving' yon a chance at one of them." Glancing around mystenonsly be pointed to a projecting mass oi rocka far np on the steep nlllside, and continued, "There's iufc 4 think ot looking np there for gold, but for ail that you'll find some just back of that point; how muoh. of oourae, I can't say, bus I have my doubts about your finding a richer spot on the creek." Entirely unsuspicious, Mr.

Fisher Inquired earnestly, "Of course you mean I am to have a certain share of what I find?" "No, my friend," replied Jerry, "we don't do business that wsy out here all you find la your own, and the more there is of it the better tt will suit us; but we would rather you would keen all particulars aa to what von set to yourself, and then we wilt have no trouble witn tne miners nere lor giving swsy a good thing to an outsider.

We were fully convinced before we returned to work that he was far from being in his right mind; the discovery of the dust that had been scattered there by Jerry, had Intensely excited him, and the deferential kindness of his manners toward ns were the reverse of enjoyable; he would no doubt bave beea very muoh aurprled had he known he waa the only one at the table who was pleased with the morning's work Jerry ventured to say to him after dinner, I supposed you found a color or two up there, or you wouldn't stick to tt so long?"
