Abthub. ike P/es-dent: FltiDEBICK T. FbELINGHCVSEN, Secretary ot State. An Old Dispute Settled. A question familiar to most debating clubs has recently been discussed in New York city by a local organization, the Lee Literary Association. This association is not widely known throughout the country, and the topic under its treatment ij,^ novel. The question was “Is a ■sau or Woman jusiified at any n'mis in telling a lief” The interest in the discussion arises from the flCTlhat the negative was taken if a commercial drummer, the kind of man Known hereabouts as a “runner.” The commercial gentleman comended in an elo quent speech fifteen minutes long that there could be no greater evil than lying,{for when men lose their self-respect and honesty by telling a lie there is in ithiug to keep them from the depths of infamy. He employed that iugenuity of argument, wealth of illus tration and beauty of diction winch in the mouth of a commercial solicitor have in duced so many reluctant tradesmen to en large their stocks. He convinced his au dience and they voted unanimously that ly ing is under no circumstances justifiable— except it is fair to presume, in the selling of goods by sample. As it is quite evident that an epidemic of •afe-bnrsting has set in with more than usu al vigor this Winter, the accidental sugges tions afforded by the tremendous explosion at Hot Springs, Aik., might be studied to advantage. It is seldom that any persons ether than burglars or their confederates are about the premises whi n these operations come off, and consequently the precaution of charging a safe with dynamite shells would injure only those for whom no sympa thy could be felt. The predatory classes are, as a rule, cowardly, and a lively appre hension of personal injury might tend to discourage this particular variety of knavish ingenuity. The signboard legend “Beware of mauirai'S” has Beared off many a poach er, and the words “dynamite depository” emblazoned on an iron safe might have a similar deterrent effect. The post office authorities will urge the Senate to pass, at as early a day as possible, the bill that has pasi-ed the House for the modification of the money order system. Dr. McDonald, the chief of the money order di Yision, is of the opinion that if thai bill shall become a law the rates will so largely in crease the business of the Department as to be a large source of revenue to the govern ment. An effort is also to be made to pass the postal currency bill at au early day. There is a very urgent demand for this bill from many quarters. The Parliamentary committee upon the imprisonment of E. Dwyer Gray has cut the Gordian knot of difficulty presented by a threefold difference of opinion among its members, by declining to make any report whatever, upon the ground that the subject 1b not one in which the House of Commons ii called upon to take an interest. That is reasonable enough in itself, but rather a lame and impotent conclusion under the clrcumstauces. Whkthkb they could have done much mischief had they been permitted to carry out their plans unopposed is problematical, but there seems to be no doubt that the Trench anarchists had made extensive prep arations for some sort of a revolution, and that they had created a far-reaching organi zation. So long as these manifestations of social unrest take place from time to time, the future of the French Republic will be uncertain. Ik the year 1850 the Irish immigrants con •tituted no less than forty-three per cent, of the foreign population of the United States, and in the year 1880 the same element had fallen proportionately to such an extent that it was then only twenty-seven per cent, of the foreign population of the Republic. Thus It will be eeen bow vast a difference is made lu our population by the progress of the past thirty years. The other day the work of completing the Santa F6 line to the Pacific Ocean was ac complished by driving a silver spike into a mahogany tie at Guaymas, on the gulf of California. The event was announced to President Strong at Boston, 3,500 miles away, by a flight of lightning over uninter rupted wire, the lon.est circuit ever under taken by daylight. Thk November elections have gradually become national by being held in no less than thirty-three American States. Only five States of the Union do not appear in this list, and no doubt in a few years the change will embrace the whole Republic, so that all the members of the Lower House of Congress will be elected simultaneously. A Democratic politician in Washington looking bungr.ly at the 1 reasury building, laid: “We are going to pitch all the Re publicans out of ihal building, and when 1 get an office ihere 1 mean to make my civil service examination a short one, consisting of one question: “Are you a good Demo crat?” ___ The Charleston News ana Courier, Demo erftiic, gives sound advice to the party which Is now rejoicing over its victory and Wonderiug what to do with its unexpected gift. It says: “The Democracy must ban ish from their counsels any politician who would ou any pretext tamper with the finan ce! of the country, or who, directly or in ilrsctfy would degrade the ourreaey.” Recent Publications. Juvenile Books. The Bodley Grandchildren and Their Jour ney through Holland. By Horace E Scudder. (Boston: Houghton & Mifflin; Por.laud: Lor iug, Shi rt & Harmon). There could be no better foundation for a young American's li ttery than Mr. Scudder’s books, original ana selected. His glories have the sound practical sense, the genuine and healthy interest that made Mr. Jacob Abbott’s books the delight of children twenty years ago; to this wholesome reality Mr. Scuddtr adus a fine Imagination, rare literary quality aud a sense of humor which is sunny, fresh aud never grotesque. The patriotism of his stories does not . spend it elf iu perfunctory phrases, but is of a kind to lead his young readers to a just pride in their country and the history of their forefathers. Ballads and anecdotes, descriptions and pic tures are brought iu play to impress the histor ic scenes more thoroughly upon the memory. The Bodleys are blight, pleasant people, such as one would gladly choose for friends, and the reader’s interest is kept alert by the lively fashiou iu which the Bodleys take their pleas ure and wisdom by the way. Mr. Scudder is quite too wise to disguise instruction under a story, and loo sympathetic with children to give his lessons iu a dry manner. So he sets forthwith the avowed intention of teaching blsiory iu a fashion that shall make it a pleas ure, not a disguised weariness. In the pres ent volume of the Bodley Series, Nathan aud Phii py are grown up and have families of their own. They live In New Yolk, aud Na than’s wife is very prond of her good old Dutch ancestry, so after studying New Amstetdam— a town hardly to be seen now “there are so many houses”—they take a steamer to cross the Atlantic for Holland. The resemblances between Old aud New Amsterdam, the curious buildings and the historic stories of the places visited are described in a most interesting fash ion, and fully illustrated. The Bodleys will be met hi every Christmas tree throughout New Euglaud tnis year it is safe to nredict. Our Boys ’n India. By Harry W. French. (BoBtou:Lee & Shepard; Portland: Loring, bhort & Harmon). A fine book for the older boys. It is full ol the most exciting adven tures, brilliant descriptions of Iudia and its people, and numerous excelleut illustrations. The tone of the story is manly, strong and in every sense good. The plot turns upon the re venge of a defaulting cashier, who failing to make any compromise with the president of the bank which he has defrauded, steals the child of the latter. He sails for India with the little boy, but is pursued by the brother of the child, guided by a friend who had lived in Iudia for many years. Snake-charmers, jug glers, tiger-hunts and a journey, fuiough the defiles ol the Himalaya sbuntains are among the innumerably delightful and exciting epi sodes -no bilk. It is thoroughly to becom es tided as suitable for a holiday gift. Wee Babies. Poetry by Amy E. Blanchard. Illustrated by Ida L. Waugh. (New York: E. P. Dutton & Co.; Portland: Dresser & McLel lau). A lovely gift for the tiny tots, with illu minuted covers where pretty babies seem to in vite their little friends to come and play with them. The book is full of rhymes that are suited to baby understanding and taste, and the pictures are beautifully colored, and natu ral aud charming in desigu. Nothing could be a daintier gift for the babies whom it is so pleasant to please. Three Yassar Girls Abroad. By Lizzie W. Champney. (Boston: Estes & Lanriat). In this bright and artistic volume Mrs. Champney gives a graceful and spirited description of a >our through France and Spain, undertaken by three students of Vas^ar College, one a mu sician, another an artist and the third a fresh aud Bweet Western girl with a gift forgiving and taking enjoyment. These young girls are uuder the chaperonage of a young aud not over-wise matron, but the combined intelli gence of the party takes them safely aud sue ces8fully on their journey. The illustrations by Mr. Champney and other artists are exceea ingly good, and the illuminated cover with its tnediasval effects cleverly produced from every day equipments, deterves honorable mention Sunday Beading for the Young. (New York: E. P. Dutton & Co.) Iuside the tastefully il lumiua'ed covers of this volume will be found a great vaiiety of stories, anecdotes, poetry and music especially suited for Sunday enjoyment. The illustrations are numerous and some of them are extremely pretty. Five Little Flower Songs for the Dear Wee Folk. By M. 8. F. (Boston: A. Williams & Co.) The pages of this little pamphlet, of del icate creamy tint aud with tasteful bordering, enclose five poems in which sunflowers, may flowers, golden rod, asters and the homely flowers of an old-fashioned garden say aud do various things to amuse little readers. The Chatterbox for 1882 (Boston: Estes & Louriatl is “what that name might imply,” full aud running over with stories, suited to the various tastes that range from stories of pets and dolls, to the boys aud girls who like a little harmless romance. The illustrations are good aud plentiful. The Young People of Shakspeare’s Dramas. By Amelia E. Barr (New York: D. Appleton & Co.). Although written fur young people, this series of studies of the children in 8hafett peare’s Plays lacks the story-telling element, and thus fails to commend ilSBlf to the class of readers for whom it is designed. The charac ters are too much removed from the surround ings of the play in which they appear; and the sketches would perhaps interest a student al ready familiar with Sbakspeate and some of the best comments upon his plays, but would give inadequate impressions to young readers. For them, Charles and Mary Lamb’s Stories from Shakspeare will remain a classic. Games for Parlor and Lawn, By George B. Bartlett (NewYork: Harper & Brothers; Port land: Loring, Short & Harmon).. Mr. Bart lett '8 an acknowledged leader of revels. Id this handy little volume be gives directions for all sorts of games for outdoors and indoors. There are games that require exercise of inge nuity, literary knowledge, dramatic talent, and last, not least, those that are fun, pure aDd simple. Any household where this volume is included among the holiday gifts need not fear the dismal cry, apt to arise in stormy days, "oh dear, what can we do?" Hester Stanley at St. Marks. By Harriet Prescott Spofford. (Boston: Roberts Brothers; Portland: Luring, Short & Harmon.) A sin gularly charming story for girls, and one to which Mrs. Spofford has given Borne of her best work. The brilliance, poetry and rich ness of her style, without its occasional over faucifuluess and vagueness, appear in this sto ry. Hester Stanley was a young girl sent from the Polynesian islands to a New England boarding school, where she finds something to learn, but much to dislike in the convention alities of the school, and her native sense of justice often makes her say and do things that astonish the bystanders. On the whole, she thinks a Polynesian family, with its brown ba bies taking to the water like little ducks while tbeir mothers sit under the palms aud watch them, is not more heathenish than a turbulent set oi New England children, whose sister she visits n vacation. The incidental descriptions of island life are very picturesque; and the siory will delight its readers. The illustra tions are spirited. Fly Away Fairies and Baby Blossoms. II. Instrated by Miss Clarkson. (New York; E. P Dutton & Co.; Ponland: Dresser & Mo Lellau.) Surely this is the golden age of liter* ature for children; and never have the holiday volumes been more beautifully illustrated, more attractive and varied in their contents than the publications of this year. A moui tiie most exquisite of the gifiehooka for the little ones is this, which is fail of songs of the fairies that fly on the backs of butterflies or nestle against the white feathers of doves, or ‘’half buried in the eagle’s down,” and the sea-fairies tbatdolpbins carry through tne foam; and of lmlabies for the babies that live under the blossom that haugs on tha bough, rooked by the west wind and sung to by the wind of the south, and grieved wheu the east wind brings the rain, and when the north wind shakes tha apple bnnghs “down come babies, cradle, and all” to make room for the round small apples. The rhymes are dainty and Imaginative, and the p cturos tinted with aeuaitlve,- brilliant and usually csrreet eoloring. The Boy Traveller*. Egypt and the Holy Land. B> Thomas W. Knox. (New York: Harper & Brothers; Portlaud: Loriug, Short & Harmon.) This large, handsome and fully Illustrated volume describes the journey of the Doctor, Fred and Frank—the three friends whom Mr. Knox has already introduced so pleasantly to bis young constituents ^11 over thr United States—through the historic and picturesque regions of the Holy Laud. If our young people have not clear and definite im_ pressions of other countries, and available and thorough knowledge of their history and scen ery, it is surely their own fault, when such books as this- of Mr. Knox are at band to give information in the pleasantest and molt trust worthy fashion. A copy of the Boy Travel lers in the Holy Laud and Eg\pt will bean especially appropriate and acceptable Christ mas gift for the olaer boys of families or Sun day School classes. Mr. Stubbs’s Brother. By James Otis. (New York: Harper & Brothers; Portland: Luring, Short & Harmon ) The untoward fate of Mr. Stubbs, the monkey—who fairly divides the honor as hero with Toby Tyler, in the volume of that name-left many boyish hearts mourn ing. So Mr. Otis lias hunted up a long lost brother of Mr. Stubbs, as comical but not so tenderly patbetio as the poor victim of a ran dom shot, and Toby Tyler, released from the bondage of the professional circus, teceives Stubbs the second as a gift from the Living Skeleton, the Fat Woman, and three old friends. The illustrations by Mr. W. A. Rogers are excellent. Books Received. Throe Yassar Girls Abroad. By Lizzie W. Chumpary.

The beautiful scenery of the Columbia River is finely illustrated by Cleveland Rockwell’s pic tures, the artist contributing also the descrip tive artic'e. Jos pb Hatton contributes au in terestin'article, entitled William Black at Home—full of delightful gossip about this pop ular novelist, in which, indeed, toe latter seems to take part—illustrated with pictures of Black’s Loudon Lodgings, of Pastou House, his Brighton residence, and of his yacht. Un der the title of The Great Sea-port of Western France, Thomas W. Knox gives a charming description of Havre, which is attractively il lustrated by Reinhart and Vauderhoof. Mr. Bishop concludes his articles on Southern Cal ifornia with a description of Los Angelos, the Sau Gabriel Mi-sion, Riverside, San Diego, and Santa Barbara—beautifully illustrated Two poems by Herrick are given, each with a fall-page illnsiration by Abbey. Colonial his tory receives eBpecial attention in two iuteesi* lug contributions—o ie, illustrated by the Rev. P D. Hay, entitled Cameos of Colonial Caro lina, the other, by Professor John Fiske, enti- . tied Hew England in the Colonial Period. Both articles are valuable for the pictures which they give of social life in the Colonial Period, bat Professor Fluke's is something more than this, since it is an admirable philo sophical treatment of the Puritan idea and its development. In fiction, Miss Woolson’snew novel takes naturally the first place in the reader’s interest, and seems likely to hold it to the end of her story. Black's Shandon Bells has reached a very interesting stage of devel opment. There are three short stories: Among the Rose-roots, by A Working-girl, is a pathet ic sketch, fall of meaning; its sombre features fiud a pleaM.ig contrast in the humorous char acteristics of the other stories—The Singular Vote of Aut Tilbox, by the author of Cape t'od Folks, and Tom’s Mouiment, by Snsan Hartley Swett. A scientific paper, Storing Electricity, by Professor Henry Morton, treats clearly a subj.ct which is just now of special interest in connection with recent novel applications of electricity as a motive power The Editorial Departments are well sustained. Dick W inship’s Duel. San Frauoisco Post. Speaking of Disk Winship recalls his famous duel with the Frenchman at Marseilles. Dick was then Second Lieutenant of the Scorpion, stationed there at the time, and as usual kept the whole fleet and half the town on nettles through his endless practical jokes. The slang expression for Frenchmen in those days was “frog-eaters,” and the wife of a French oapt aiu of militia having presented her lord wiih twins, Dirk had the “nerve” to tender this happy father, at a public banquet, a stuffed group, consisting of a big frog holding on its knees a couple oi smal eroues. Of course Here was a enatiemte, and when the captain a seconds appeared, Wiuship, as the challenged party, gravely iuBiB'ed ou the duel being fought in the dark, with pistols, one shot only being allowed to each man. This new addition to the code made a terrible ■ r, bet, as Dick held brut, the Frenchman was finally obliged to submit. Ou the appointed day alter dinner 'he principals were placed, blindfolded and piste* in band, in a room at a hotel from whicn every partic e of light had beeu exclud ed. At a given signal ou the closed door, the antagonists removed their bandages to find themselves in absolute darkuess, listening to the heating of their own hearts, and each afraid to fire first, for fear of thus exposing his loc ition to the other. Dick quieily took off his shoes, feeling for the chimney—in trout ot which he had taken care to be placed—lie crept up the flue, descended through a trap d -or in tiie tonf, slipped imo a carriage and re joined his dinner party, which at once devoted ttselrio making a uignt of n, in the highest g ee possible. The next morning they returned to the hotel and upeued the room, hich had beeu as silent as the grave ail night. Kneeling in bis Comer, every muscle quivering wit1* the uuhearab e susuense, w«t the militia « p atn, bit auburn hair turned white with the horrort of that latermlaabls sight.
