THE LIFE OF DOUGLAS. Stephen A. Douglas: Ills Life, Public Services. Speeches, and Patriotism, liy Clark K. Cnrr. LL. D. UlustnUcd. Published by A. C. McCiur ft Co.. Chicago. Tho writings of Mr. -Carr aro of the most interesting character all of them. His previous works, "The 11-lini," 11-lini," "My Day and Generation," and "Lincoln at Gettysburg" have all found a large and appreciative public. This work, in eulogy of Stephen A. Douglas, is of tho same order of in-tenso in-tenso personal interest as his former works. Mr. Carr is in entire sympathy with Douglas in his struggles as a youug man in Illinois, when he was making his way to the front rank of statesmen. Of all this Mr. Carr is very proud, and his desire in this book is to place Senator Douglas in his proper light before tho public as ho appearod when a conspicuous act or iu the nation na-tion 's public alfairs. Mr. Carr thinks that scant justice, has been done to Mr. Douglas; that his ability, patriotism, and splendid public services have not been appreciated appre-ciated as they should be. lie thinks that, the exalted fame, high achievements, achieve-ments, and grand character of Abraham Abra-ham Lincoln have thus far overshadowed overshad-owed the repute of Senator Douglas: but he holds that the patriotic people peo-ple of America should never forget Douglas's public services, and argues that it was. in proving himself able to meet and successfully cope with the illustrious Senator Douglas that Lincoln Lin-coln made himself known to the great ; Anlerican public. Bv his conquest, of Douglas hp took to himself I he Douglas Doug-las pro-eminence, and overshadowed all the fame that Douglas had wOn in his long public service. In this work Mr. Carr tells dramatically dramat-ically of Douglas's first appearance iu Illinois, of his speedy arising to political poli-tical prominence, of iiis early speeches as a Jae.kson-Dcinocrat, of his approval ap-proval of the Mexican War, Ins bitter fight iu tho Oregon boundary controversy, contro-versy, his great, service to Illinois in the chartering of tho Illinois f'entral Railway, of his sympathy with the early Pacific, Railway projects, of his advocacy of tho internal waterways and of an Isthmian canal, and in general gen-eral of his high and illustrious services serv-ices as a public official and as a statesman. states-man. He tells most dramatically of tho difficulties that Douglas met with iu coping with the pro-.sln very, southern south-ern propaganda, ami of his pronounced .staunchness to the staying of that propaganda, and he shows how Douglas rallied grandly to I he support of the Nation wheu it was actually attacked by secession. "An appendix gives in full Senator Douglas's speech in the House of Representatives Rep-resentatives in vindication of Andrew Jackson; his speech on the annexation of Texas and the Mexican War; and" other speeches and extracts from speeches on greal public questions, and especially his final pathetic plea for the Union, his last speech in the Senate, delivered January 1S0I. A full and good working index completes the volume, vol-ume, whieh is certainly a .valuable oiie for any library. DANTE'S LOVE STORY. The Clod of Love. Tiy Justin riuntly McCarthy. Published by Harper ft brothers. New York. This popular uovelif.1 arid great slorv-feller slorv-feller seems to have t ransfered his activities activ-ities to Italy for some time past. -His story that preceded this. "The Gorgeous Borgia," was one dealing of the events of that powerful but unconscionable ras-. cal. This one is devoted fo tho'storv of Dante and his true love, she being beautifully presented in this fine work. In the course of the novel the siory of the great family feuds of Florenne in the middle ages is fairly recounted and the characters in them are made to live again in the imagination of this fervid author who conveys it all iu vital form to his readers. If appears that (he archives arch-ives of the abbey of Bonne A vent ore in Poitou is rich in material of this kind, Mr. McCarthy got from these the foundation for his story. "If T Were King." and it seems that tho material for this new romance was obtained from the same treasure-house. Tt lolls in elegant form (he romance of a high and beautiful passion, the devotion of a great man for an almost nerfect woman, as that romance seemed iu the eyes of an observer who was not af all great and had no pretension to perfection. It rocs behind "Dante's confession in the "Vita Nnova" ami undertakes to reveal re-veal the tuvsfery hidden for centuries and to tell tho romantic storv of the deathless love of tho fniunns noet. Tn this sort of writing Mr. McCarthy "s at his best, and no one is his rival, rt is a strong, vital story, absorbing lo read and must enhance the fame which is already bright, of this notable author. A NOVEL FOR PEACE. The Peacemakers (a Tab- of Love). 7',-Tllram 7',-Tllram W, Hayes. The Rold Publishing Publish-ing Company, Iloston, "Mass. This., though called a love-storv. is a story with a purpose and an aim. Tt is devoted to the peace propaganda, and tho urging of peace is a pre-eminent feature, no matter at wl.al hazard haz-ard national peaco may place national honor and safely. The author is apparently ap-parently a thorough doyoteo of the idea of non-resistance, and pushed to the logical limits his idea is that this country should place itself in tho same position that Chiua is to the great nations, na-tions, a prey to any that choses to invade in-vade or wrest awav, and existing only as a nation by tho sufferance and through the .jealousies of the great powers of the world. Wc do not see how any patriotic. American can take such a position as this; that is, if he has power of thought "sufficient to enable en-able him to realize what these peace theories would lend to. The love slow of the book Is subordinate, of course, but is rather well told, and if ii ucro not made fo depend upon a hazardous and impossible propaganda, might be quite enjoyable. And M is noteworthy (hat tlKyjeharaetor who ae made fo o stand, so strongly for -peace, bofore ninrringe, are not followed after it. to see how far they practice patience and peaceful good will. LITTLE WORLD CLASSICS. From Funk & Wngnalls Company (New York) wo hnvo a little case of ton of "Tho Pest of the World's Classics," Clas-sics," selected by Henry Cabot Lodge. There are ten volumes ot' them and they contain in the aggregate over tivo hundred hun-dred selections ot the best, prose writings writ-ings of more than two hundred of the world's best writers Thcv apepar lo be after tho order of Dr. E"liots "five-foot "five-foot sholf." Senator Lodge, who has boon quite appropriately designated "the scholnr in politics,'' states in his introduction to the volumes that ho has attempted "to give examples from all periods and languages of western civilization and what is best and most memorable in their prose literature," poetry being strictly oxcluded. The work is arrnnged chronologically by countries, begin ning with Greece and thou taking up Rome, Great Britain, Continental Europe, and Amcricii. The great, omission omis-sion from these volumes was perhaps purposely left out in the scheme which was worked to. and so would be considered con-sidered no omission at all. Wo refor to the cutiro omission of any of the Hebrew He-brew literature or the literature ot! Egypt. Babylon, or Assyria. Another lack that wo uoto is the uon-appcaranco of any of tho literature of northern Europe, which is eertaiulj' worthv of being recognized in a work like "this. So tar, however, as the world's literature liter-ature is attempted to bo covered in this series of small volumo classics, the work has been well douo iu the sphere taken into tho plan. Herodotus naturally conies first; then wc havo Thucvdidcs. Xenophon, Plato, Aristotle, Polybius, Plutarch, Epic.tetus. Cicero, Caesar, Livy, Tacitus, and other Roman writers; and these complete the first, two volumes. Then wo come to Greal, Britain and Ireland, which has four volumes in the series. Then Cou-tiucnf.nl Cou-tiucnf.nl Europe has two, with a decided preponderance for France, as compared with the other countries, as Italy, Germany, Ger-many, or Spain. The final volume's two arc compiled from American literature and hero the choice seems to be comprehensive com-prehensive and. fair. In volumes so small as these, however, nothing very extended is- In be expected, only incro tastes of the best that the world has produced, presented as tit-bits for the delectation of the most exacting literary palate. A GOOD BOOK ON BEARS. The Grizzly Dear: the Narrative of a Hmilui'-Nutuialist. Historical. Sclerl-lllic, Sclerl-lllic, and Adventurous. By William II.. Wrlshl. Illustrated from Photographs by i ho Author and .1. n. Kerfoot. Published Pub-lished by Charles Scrlbner's Sons, New Voile. This is u fino volume, giving accounts of active experience with the grizzly bear in many localities and ninny flash-pictures flash-pictures of bears in many attitudes and under various circumstances. Part I. is autobiographical, with a glance at the early history and the Lewis Lew-is and Clark expedition, with references to the followers of those great explorers. explor-ers. The,re is a chapter devoted to .lames Cap(on Adams, who is well worthy of ''I hat honor, ami the final chapter in this part is "Tho Scientific Classification of Bears." Part II., "My Experience and Ad-venliircs," Ad-venliircs," is devoled to a number of chapter , sketches entitled as follows: "My First Grizzly," "Five in Five Shots," "Grizzby Gourmets," "Trailing," "Trail-ing," "A Charging- Grizzly,." "At Close Quarters, " "Jlv First. Step to the Sclk'irks." " The ' Sclkirks Revisited," Revis-ited," "Tho Unexpected," "A Spriug Gun Avoided." "A Photographic Expedition," Expe-dition," " Flashlight ing Grizzlies." Part III.. "Character and Habits of the Grizzly," includes, "Description and Distribution." "Characteristics and Habits." "Food and Feeding." "His Fierceness." "His Vitality," "Fact Versus Fiction." and "Conclusion." The whole is completed with. an .index .in-dex which allows easy reference to any part, of the work. Tlie author has made a most, iitnre.hting book of this, .and flashlight pictures of bears in their various var-ious haunts and travels enliven the text materially. Since Mr. Wright's studies of bears have been at first hand and at close quarters, we presume there is no gainsaying them, although we ralher deplore de-plore the habit of calling any kind of a large bear a grizzly. The "cinnamon bears of this country are off en very large, but they nro not grizzlies, and the black bears of- Iho northern ranges, no mailer how large they are. are uol. grizzlies griz-zlies either. Still, tlie habit is getting to be very pronounced of calling all big bears grizzlies, and perhaps if is idle lo protest against if. The book is certainly cer-tainly a very entertaining' one. nnd it must, be entirely satisfactory to every one who. wants to know as much as possible pos-sible .about the bears of (his great interior in-terior mountain region. ANOTHER MAJOR STORY. ( A Gentle Knipht of Old Brandenburg. By Charles Major. Illustrated. The Macmlllan Company. Publishers. New York, i It is some time since the public has had a -story from this author, whose "When Knighthood Was in Flower" and "Dorothy Vernon" caused the world to pause and admire. This Gentle Knight of Old Brandenburg was gentle, indeed, jn his maimer loward women, children, and the defenseless, and yet he was a very terror to those! who oppressed or who violated his ideas of tho proprieties and of right conduct con-duct and of action. .The story has a I swing of romantic action which Mr. Major 's readers have learned 1o expect, from his former novels; it is in no way inferior to them The theme of the novel is the winning of the witt3- sister sis-ter of Frederick tho Greal, and naturally the Berlin of that time and the. strenuous life of Prussia are fairly and in full colors depicted herein. Mr. Maior's admirers will find plenty in this book to satisfy them, and fho'gen-eeral fho'gen-eeral public will be well .entertained in the reading of if. JOLLY TARKINGTON.
