By Bear Admiral Daniel Amman, TJ. K. (Phila-d el phi J. B. LippineoU Co.) Tha lovor of beanUful books upon opening this yolnm will stop to admiro and comment apoa the fiM HMooanioal work upon its pages.

It Is aketchy history covering peaiod et mora thaa fifty years, every psg of whioh will he found interesting to pa, trio a imnrioan read ers. Tho a nth or is an iats-sely patrioiio citizen who was thoroughly tested and not found wanting la a great emergency of the Nation's history. The first part of the volum is given to life in tha navy from 1837 to tha inauguration of tha war of the rebellion. It ia a plaaaing ekatohy story modestly told and aDoanding la facts or ram regarding am navy and its discipline, as wall as facts of peoples and eonntries. As is proper, the bulk the wolnme is given to tha mora atrikiag and exoitidgejventa in which the author took so eonapieaons snd honorable a pari Early in the contest Boathera leaders made atrong attempt to indne Lienteoaat Ammen to esst ia his lot with tho Confederacy.

Ha was stationed at Baltimore, apoa nominal shore duty. After the attack upon the Sixth Massa-chnaetts Regiment, when the railroads were blookaded and aaeeaato Saga flying apoa every street, lieutenant Ammen found he could not get North, and he says, "I determined to turn my face the other wav, and I mounted my horse and started to Washington." He deaoribea the eventful ride to the Kational Capital, where he aold his horss to Colonel Ellsworth who five dsys later was killed in Alexandria. Through the innuenoe of Secretary Chaae he was placed la command of a gun-boat and began active duty. He gives a clear insight into th miamanagement of the navy under Preaident Buchanan and his secretary of war. Ho says "from December I860, when President Buchanan delivered his laat annual message, until March 4, 18ll, when hia term expired, in all history no more painful exhibition of weakness or of betrayal of high trual can be found than was presented by the President sad his abiaeL Their endeavor were to make the Government ofh United States as helpless as possible when their term of office Admiral, then Lieutenant Ammen, give an aooount of a talk with an old army officer, then Mayor of Savannah, who waa aent to win him over to the Confederacy.

He went on to ssy, "Th people of the South had already established a strong government, and they would have nothing more to do with a miserable set of Abolitioniate." Lincoln had been elected but would never be inaugurated. "The war would never reach the Southern State, for th citie rf the North would be blockaded and their streets run with that Great Britain and France needed Southern eotton snd would never permit a blockade," etc, Lieutenant Ammen aays: "In my view I be wss utterly sad hopelessly insane. hsd sailed as nsvy officer for seventeen year, and auoh being his view made tha matter senooa. 1 said to him: laacoln haa been elected and will be inaugurated: that England and France would not interfere; that the people of the North would be After listening in astonishment he aays: 'Holding such views you will likely be down on tbe Southern coast in some vt-seel trying to I said: God forbid there should be civil war, but should it occur that is jus, where I will be." Admiral Ammen adds: "It is curious fset that in the following November I waa in command of thegnnboat Seneca, whioh, bearing the American flag, crossed the Tybee Bar twenty miles below th city where my friend was Mayor at tho time referred to." Admiral Ammen waa an old-time personal friend of General Grant and a large number of personal letters to Ammen are printed in an appendix at the cloe of th volume. Two fine steel portraits of Grant and Ammen adorn the pages.

Ths Spasihh Cckbpibact. By Thomas M. Green. (Cincinnati: Robert Clarke A Co.) The exciting events of modern history hare mads the events of one hundred years ago seem fsr sway. Few, even among ths reader of American history, are conversant with the facts narrated ia this volume.

Briefly, a long ago as 1702, France msde a secret treaty witb Spain, and out of fear leat Louisiana and her rude possession west of the Mississippi Kiver should fall into British hands, made it all over to Spain aa a free gift. Spain did not taks possession or sppear to regard it as a grsnd prise for seven years after the cession by France. Then she entered upon it with greet show and with much ceremony. It ia not in our province to enter into tbe National complication and jealousies that at oooe arose between Franc and Great Britain, and especially aa to the National rights in the Mississippi Biver. All theee ths United Slates inchoated at the cloae of th Revolutionary, war, with increased complications, from ths fact that tbe country was exhausted by a long war, and beside felt under obligations to Frsnoe for ber timely sid.

Ia the year 17SC it wss given out that a secret treaty had been msde with Spain by United States authorities, led by John Jay, Foreign Secretary, giving for thirty years the navigation of the Jtiaaisaippi Biver over to Spain. It crested intense disgal among Western men, At thst time Kentucky was a part of Virginia, and the law making power so far removed and the people so isolated as to msks no distinct State attachment. It ia well to remember that th years 1786 sad 177 were pivotal years in American hiatory. States were hound to each other with no strong bonds; and tho conspirator for ths ssparstioa of Kentucky from Virginia and tbe United States, and a union with Louiaiaaa snd Spain, felt themselves upon atrong grounds. Thsv argued mat tnsir si vation depended upon the free ass of the Mississippi Hirer which ths United State had refused (hem for th coming thirty years.

It did not matter that this wss falsa. The people were ia ignorance of the facts, and it gavs tbe conspirators strength. It would not be within th bounds of a review to even briefly enter upon the discussion of ths guilt or innocence of the eoeused, bat onlv to ssy thst there axe abundant proofs of th eoa-spiraoy and of the guilt of several leading men. Among the proofs Mr. Green offers ia tb volume are General Wilkinson's letters to Miro, the Intendaat of Louisiana; ot the confidential communications of ths latter to ths court of Madrid; of the official dispatch of Don Diego Gardoqui to the aame court; of John Brown's owa letters and proved utterance; of tha testimony and sworn evidence of members of th Danville conventions of July and November, 1788; of Sebastian's owa confession; of ths testimony of members of ths legisla tive committee which laves-gated Sebaa- tian's corruptions in 18U6: of the sworn evidence of Daniel Clark and Thomas Power; of th subterfuges, suppree.

sions. ooncealmeats. and misstatements to which tha conspirators resorted to hide their guut, and of ths tergiversations of all their adherents. la these modera times one eau hardly con ceive that such a wild project oonld have been advocated by Americans. But it.

is well -to remember that forty years later American statesmen were perfectly willing to cede all of Oregon and Washington to England, and so deeUred in their treaty of 1828, provided th English first settled th country. Numbers of our most eminent statesmen of thst time declared that "the Bocky Mountains were natural boundary of the United States;" that "all beyond would only bo a care and a burthen apoa the people." It wss only the foresight and patriotism of Dr. Whitman, General Lovejoy, and tbe Lee snd ths Protestant missionaries whioh invaded Oregon in 188 that saved aU that Territory to tbe United States, such facts mitigate this conspiracy oa the part of Kea tuokiana. Tha people then and forty years later had not begun to teal fully She United States blood coursing through their veins it uoea iiMiiT. in dook is occasionally oon-f using ifi ia date in the plain effort to condense too many facta law small spaoe.

Mr. Harris is by not-versal eonsent ths king of th plantation story tellers, Which Wcnf A story of social oonditiona.

By Mary H. Ford. (Bo ton: A Shepard.) This dramatic story is aa addition to the large number of eoouomio productions lately brought out, but appears to hsvs found an entirely new vela la that rich mine. Its pivotal point Is aa exhibit of th mortgags system as th writer views whioh ia aot with aa Indulgent eye. She presents It as de grading to both poor and rich, dealing dally with the Western farmar la his relations with the broker.

Eviotions and a death hastened by hunger mske ths shadows, while occasional gleams of hnmor light ap he pages. She also Insists apoa tb ad of a new party, whioh ahe believes would be" more a servant of the masses thaa either of the old parties are. Her thought la this llns Is indicated by the dedication of the story to ths Farmers Alliance, whose mem bers she characterises aa "both toilers and thinkers." Ths rights of women corns fa aa a aids is. sue aad are touched ap with much fores sad Justice; this portion will attract all thinkers on me position or womankind, aad a vein romanoa serves to interest those who taks ap the book merely as a Actio. While there is little plot vet tbe action of ths Bsrrativs never lass.

It ia mainly through thia that Mrs. Ford has msde her points, i leaving oat all "preaching." Buoh asides as are purely literary are done with a charm and polish whioh evident cut in re sad social position, all of which hsvs gone to fit the writer for her undertaking. A reeidenee of soms yars in Kansas City, and personal acquaint- anes with farming struggles ia that region, hav broadened her outlook and enabled her to speak with sathority, most of th incident ralated baring come actually under her owa observation. Running through th work, as ballad run through a atormy accompaniment, ia a constant appeal to tbe latent love of man for man. "The ideas of his younger dsys," she ssys of ber hero, "cams surging ap ia his mind again: What was there absurd in tb notion of fraternity sud brotherly love, anyway" An evieted farmer criee out: "Git th people banded together to do good, an' oTve think they'd be any atoppin' emf They'd red up thia yer planet of our'n that elean tbe devil wouldn't bev no place to atav.

Talk 'bout the millennium, ahy, 'twould be down here faat you couldn't aee straight!" The story is laid largely la Kansss City and Nebraska; the phenomenal real eatate boom in the former place a few years noe is pictured skillfully, snd a labor union comes on with a municipal campaign. Ths book is worthy of attention, and ia likely to be resd widely in tbe West, snd especially among atudenta in that faith of whioh Bellamy ia the latter-day prophet Ths Biooaapbt or Dio Lkwts, M. D. By Mary F. Eastman; (New York: FowUr Well Company.) Of few men can it more certainly sid hs spent his life in helping others than to ssy it of Dr.

Lewis. He wss a reformer not simply in theory but a reformer ia practice. He waa a skilled physician, but he found his field of labor moat congenial in the leoture-room and at the teaeher'a deak. He took great interest in temperance work. It wss under his teaching thst tbe great uprising of what haa been called "The Woman's meads" occurred in Ohio.

A full account from various sources is given ia ths volume. Among ths boat works of Dr. Lewis' lifs was the breaking into the rate of boarding-school lifs snd demanding thorough changes. Hi teachings hav not been loet, for th beat of them have been engrafted upon the beat institution of th land. Modified, and perhaps made mors practical but easily traced to Dr.

(Boston and New York: ft Houghton, Mifflin A Co). Two very handsome volumes, both ia print snd binding. To say also they are volumes of unusual interest of their kind is to express the truth mildly. Tbs volumes hsd their conception many years ago while the author was the assistant librarian at Harvard, and waa aet to cataloging and arranging by their titles the msny volumes and pamphlets relating to early American history, l'ha idea then wss to write a condensed aar. rative hiatory within th limit of fcur volume, covering the entire period from 1492 to 1864, After settling to tb work, and as ths aathor says, "thinking that ths fragments of th work might as well be published from tims to Urn a to lying idle, these vol.

Tbe story ss here related, attempts, as the author aays, "to abape ths narrative in inch a way as to era phaaia relation of causa snd Of eel that ar often buried ia a mas of details." Ths portrait of Washington is some thing new, being engraved for the first tims from a miniature enameled oa copper by Henry Bone, B. A. With it ia given an interesting bit of history. Tb portrait is striking, and differs ia expression from th usual picture of Washington. Ths books can marked aa pleasing, and.

The present volume makes ap a book of but 159 pages, but it is not a book to be measured by its sixs. It ia a bold, vigorous writing, with every position attested by the sacred record snd saforoad by imfutabl argument. It ia a plain, clear, sound, convincing srgamsut for the ordination of womea aad ons that "the coming churoh" will sooner ar later have to acknowledge. As Dr. Bobertassys: "Woman has ths spiritual discernment, tb aptitude to teach, tha pradsnoe and courage neoessary to qualify her for the work of the ministry in all its departments.

Why not ordain herf Why deprive the church aad th world, ia any degree, of th service which she is able aad willing to rendeir" What Christian answer the questions ia th negative.

History records msny spontaneous upria- -lugs among fh people, sometime of Ties ssperstitioa or tyranny, oftener perhaps of private or politic 1 virtue. The latest ot the worid-anaviaf ideas ia aa Eagiiaa oa that haa somehow eluded tb Tigliano ot our rsveaue collectors, and has asarty smuggled Iteelf Into the country.

The name of this Eirvasivs ides is university extension. Dr. srper, of ths Chicago University, has mads it somewhat fasa-iar te Illinois people through ths pabUc-tioa of his outlines for the ad-ministration ef tha new Chicago institution. Briefly stated ths idea te to take tbe university to th publi when th public eas sot come to the nnivsraity, a aew vsrsioa of ths old story of Mahomet aad tb mountain. Wonderful ia tell, thi conception haa been successfully wrought oat ta practice by th old conservative insulation xa Eaglsad, by ths moss-oovsrsd universities of Oxford and Cambridge.

It is this fset more than say. thug else, that -takes aa Americas believe th echeme msst really have something in H. If thessold rock-ribbed and ancient seats ot conservatism, after years of trial, think it really worth while to com out of tneir mon astic aoie to let tneir ugat an in amoag the oommoB herd it assy be, af tor all. that what the masses need to eave them is a little of the university salt. how rr vrc-sa.

Ons can get the el carnal idea of anivsrsitv sxteastoa hy tracing oat briefly the natural history of a typical center of work. This sr. tide, let ssy. will, fall under tbe veof some one who is quick to respond to every scheme for ths social and educational up building of ths community. Hs is pleased with ths thought of bringing a section of the real university Instruction into his own neighborhood.

Hs drops a card ta the Book Jfcws, Philadelphia, for a copy of their May teeue. which eotain a symposium oa th subject by its ablest sxponenn ia America. Having got the subject ap, hs writes to ths nearest university for further information regarding cost subjects of instruction, lecturers, etc He then ealla hia friends together, imparts his own enthusiasm to them, aad then, perhaps, visits ths Mayor, who calls a public meeting, to which a representative from the university a invited. An explanation, or, pooaibty, aa Initial lecture is given, ths public is aroused, resolutions ara adopted, and committees snd a secretary sre appointed. Tbe main basiaees bow is to float the scheme financially.

This is usually done by the sale of ticket for th -course ot lecture. Tbe eo unittee bow decide upon a sabjeet and a lecturer from a list of available topics snd lecturers seat oat by th university. Tb public library ia an almost indispensable adjunct af th work. The lecturer takes with him a printed syllabus of his lectures, which is in the hsnds of each member of tbe i class. It contain an outline of the points to be made ia the lectures, and particularly a well-arranged and carefully selected'- bibliography of the subject, with to pares, sections, snd chap- A thrifty librarr will usually order st once och of the book aa ar aot already at hand.

If tbs library is out of fund ths center itself will raise enouga additional money to buy any books that may bs lacking. Tha lectures, usually from six to ten ia a course, will be given at tbe cloae of each week, or of each fortnight aa may beat th convenience of all concerned. WHAT THB LXCTUBEB DOES, When he first arrive at a center he is met by ths secretary- or tb chief movers of th aahema. who explain to him any peeuliariua in the audience he ia to address. Whenever poeaible th lecture are illustrated by specimens, diagrams, maps, experiments, etc The lecturer divides bis work Into two parts; first a leetur about aa hour long for aU who eome.

At the dose of thia a short pause 1 afiwho SUM te I I LBr1inr auditors given, dnnag which the most of the depart only a special class remaining. Tha lecturer now proceeds, bnt in a more informal manner. He explains difficult points, ssks sad answer questions, etc, aad begin, ning with the second lecture seta a number of questions on the preceding one whioh the class answer ia writing. These papers are taken away by tha lecturer, corrected aad re turned st the next meeting. Last year ia England a toad of 887 courses were given, esch averaging ton lectures, thus making shout 8,870 different lectures.

There wss a grand total of attendants at tha courses ons session. Over 10 per cent of these persons took tha examinations. The avenge cost to each person waa about 25 cents per lecture To show that Americans do things with a vengeance when they try. we may contrast with these figure those given for tha work ia and about Philadelphia alone during the past winter. Forty courses of instruction were given, em bracing zj lectures and an aggregate attendance of over 60,000, thus showing that the descendants of our father hsve aot forgotten bow to do up the English.

TWO PLANS OF WD BE. There are two theories of university work. Ons is that each Institution must work out its own problems by itself, Independent of any other institution. Esch would be ths rival of svery other for any field within the reach of Other; each would have to awaken the publie seal, furnish its owa publications, learning only by its owa successes and failures. This wss largely th plan adopted at first in Eng.

lsnd, but ths work there is now tending strongly to ths second plsn. that of concentration of effort and mutual assistance The second theory is that it Is better to hsve su organization formed for the purpose of pushing this movement in every direction, and which ahaU unite all the institutions la ths country if possible, or, if not as many as possible, in a general movement for the direction of university x-tonstoa, Th idea aem to be not to disturb the antonomy of ths locsl institutions is tha least but to assist thsm by arousing publio interest through the public press, to spar them expense by the preparation of syllabuses, aad to naif and givs intelligent direc-tioa to the work of all by the publication of a journal devoted to thia subject Two sack societies are before tbe public, on having ita headquarters ia New York and th other in Philadelphia, The latter aposars to be far tbs stronger and more promising organisation.
