This is a ski.-itlcal und sensational
age. The pu^utt of sturtling theories
at war with the accepted faith of
generations Ij Um fa-!,ion of the hour
among a large cia** of scientists and
scholars. So lon.,' a* their Independence
raf authority and originality of thought
uni labor of lnve*tt?ation la held in flub
ordiimtlon to u lo>al reverence for and
an honest quest of truth, they ar* highly
to be eon.men.lcd. Wheiht-r this be so
or not, soma of "iheo,? theories assam
fun,i.i.it.ii proi irtlou* from the learning
and ability with which they are advanced
ami advocated. The thoological world
is vexed with d1*tf'ti*8l|f|is by the ablest
di vim rn et every denomination, of many
questions tts to which the faith of the
churches had beru accepted as settled
tot Koiurles: snd the so-called higher
criticism of Kurope and America ts ac?
tively exercised in the attempted refuta?
tion of the hitherto recofrnlsed author?
ship of tb* Pentateuch, and th* propheti
eal writings of tb* Old Testament
Scripture*. This eccleslsatlcal loonoclaem
1s paralleled in the world of profane lite?
rature. True enough, lt requires leas
audacity ot akepUdsm to dlsput* th*
claim* of Will.am Shakeapeare. au**
tatned though they be by the unbroken
assent of more than three centuries,
than lt does to defy the traditions and
faith of tbe Hebrew people, antedating
the Christian era. and of the entire chris?
tian world from th* day of the Apostle*
In their reverent acceptance of the
claims of Mose* and Isaiah.
Thi* ls a very abie and aeholarly con?
tribution to the Baconian theory of th*
? uthorshlp of f hs kee pea re's plays, etc.
But the very title of the book puta aa
upon guard. It doea not Invite us to
any calm. Judicial Investigation of the
old-time belief. The author doee not ap?
proach the reader in any such fain"?
colors. But he startles us upon the
very frontispiece with the bold assump?

must now be accepted as established
fact With this assumption, we are fully

Itt cents.
This ls the first part of a historical
Jrama, but not Intended for the stage.
The author la of Revolutionary etoek.
ind cherishes great reverence for the
rt mars of cur Independence Snd the
f. onders of our republic. He wishes t
stimulate his felloxv-citlzens to "an ever
living purpose to guard the legacy ot
our ancestors by the maintenance of
honesty in government." Of which ht
tlilnks there I* not enough nowadays.
He docs not display any special dra

racter and services of Waahington ts
properly very conspicuous. Yes; how
grandly great he WOO Mut for the per
sonni character of Washington, together
with lila real ability as a military chief?
tain, the Colonies would probably have
been reduced to submission before th-y
had placed themselvea In a poe lt lo i in
which the French Government were will?
ing to openly espouse their cause. Wash?
ington, almost solitary and alone, wrought
them into that position.
We have alluded to the paucity of
striking passages or speeches In this
prose drama. About the be?t ls the la
mentation of Arnold over the death of the
brave Herkimer, who was killed at Fort
Stanwlx in 1777. Washington is malt.
to say come good things, and he utters a
brief lamentation over his loss of Gene?
ral Mercer at Princeton. But he 1* repre.
BMted as using sn expression which
ls amenable to criticism. He says: "In
the very, zenith of our exultation, envious
fortune, coming with midd steps to our
unwilling lips, presses the cup of bitter?
ness. Thus now is pricked the bubble
of our pleasure." He ls here made to
compare bis successes at Trenton and
Princeton, which had raised him to tho
"zenith of exul atlon." to a mere "bubble
if pleasure." How lame and Impotent!
Our author makes Franklin employ a
very doubtful figure, when he says: "The
blushing maiden and the t-eardless boy
rushing for precedence to cast Into the
(aUdron of seething war their mite for
their country's freed m." Waa the cal?
dron a good place, even rhetorically, Into
which they could cast their mites? Was
the war -."thing, or the caldron?
Rut the author's style, thoimh not opu*
lent, ls generally correct. We hope h?
will be successful In attaining to a Iargj
degree his avowed object In turning from
his law-books In order to present his pat?
riotic reminder to the great American
public. We shall welcome with pleasure
its second part.

This ls ss Interesting Colorado mining
camp story. Bom* personal ?becrvatlon

It wau depicts, may havo Ubparted la tt
an additional sect for as; bat any reader
may enjoy it
Mining camps are not all wickedness:
neither are all backwoods girls hoyden*.
Of course, those camps exhibit fraud,
greed, llcenvteusneas, and recklessness
of human life. But tbe very cupidity
which baa carried some men thither u
often associated with a generosity which
shares the lest morsel of food snd the
last grain of gold with a fellow-being
who needs them. Sometime* a vein of
stern, puritanic piety msg be found
digging a vein of imldei mammon
Till* work portrays all thia, and bas
some exe mp flcsflon* of s noble ?ltrul-m
?nd of Christian forgiveness We do not
sympathize with Its advocacy of "wo?
man's rights": bu' Color..lo has already
granted them: and woman's political con?
quests are not ended yet. The love

This ts one of the Belgravia Series, and
I* a strong story, written In good Eng

wit humor, and some keen analyses of

Solidity ?nd even the stolidity of Hol

..ixtty of France It shows the tyranny
-t Dutch parental authortty. the harsh
?everity of moral Integrity, the mistakes
of self-complacent cnnsxtentlousi ess. and

Luckily our young Dutch hero escapes
the lotti arith which he ha* been lured

One bv one we are falling out
The ranks, we soldier boys;
Nor much th* fact that ranks gr->v
thin
?Our equlpol** destroya
Trslned well we were at mother*! knee
And taught by father's tongue.
We proudly p'ayed the role of mea,
And brave men marched among.
We questioned not the leg-il right
Which held us In the ranks;
Wo felt the thrill of patriot hearts,
Nor courted country's thanks.
Shoulder to shoulder, In Berried ranks,
We've stood, ss shot and shell
Did plough their way 'cross hot-fough'
fields.
And wept as our comrades fell.
Not surely on Culloden's plaina
Nor 'neath Dalia's skies,
Were lofi.^r d-eds st Marengo,
As France with Austria vies.
We fought the fight with might and
main.
While "Btonewall" led the way;
We listened each with ear atfnt
What "Merse Bob Lee" might lay.
We caught, In ranks, the last resound
Of cannon's echoing thunder.
Nor ever flitted 'cross our minds.
The thought-'twas all a blunder.
We beard the flat?war's no more,
And peace proclaimed In sorrow,
We furled our flag and turned our face
With strong faith towi ni?to-morrow
