The Northern Cross. By Willis Boyd Allen. Illustrated. Pine Cone Series. Boston; D. Lothrop Company. Price $1 00. In this breezy and thoroughly healthy story of a boy’s life at school the author proves his right to a foremost place among the writers of juvenile literature in this country. The story is local, the scene be ing laid in and about the Boston Latin School, from which institution the author was a graduate. It is, in fact, largely a record of his own experiences, and some of his descriptions of characters and incidents are as accurate as photographs. Exhibi tion day, the prize drill on the common and scenes in the school room are described with infinite relish, and there isn’t a boy anywhere with a bit of boy feeling about him that will not enjoy the book from cover to cover. The True and the False Theory of Evolution. By Rev. Chauncey Giles. William H. Alden. Philadelphia, publisher, corner Twenty-second and Chestnut streets. In the subject of evolution there is very general interest. It commands the attention of the most acute and profound thinkers. The effect which it is having upon the scien tific and religious world is very marked. The series of lectures of the Rev. Mr. Giles, which are comprised in this volume, is not only deeply interesting, but they also put evolution before the reader’s mind in a man ner so clear and forcible that it is impossible not to understand it. The Century Com pany, Union Square, New York. Calamity Row: or The Sunken Records. By John R. Jlusick. Rand, McNally A Cos., pub lishers. 148 to 164 Monroe street, Chicago. Price 25c., in paper. Mr. Musick’s greatest strength lies in ver satility. Numbers do not appear to confuse him; and, although the principal actors in this story include stock operators, dock rats, a clergyman, students of medicine, adven turers, women of fashion, a poor cobbler, a pretty shop girl, an old sailor, street Arabs and an apple woman, the author has given to each of them a distinct individual ity and an important role. A History of the Art of slagic. By P. P. Pimayenis. J. J. Little A Cos., 10 to 12 Astor place, New York. Mr. Pimayenis, who is a member of the Order of the Royal Cross of Greece, and who has a high and well-earned literary reputation, has succeeded in this volume in giving the public something that will afford it a great deal of entertainment. The work contains anecdotes, explanations of tricks and a sketch of the life of Alexan der Herrmann, who was regarded as the master of the art of magic. Who Cares: Episodes in theLifeof Mary Camp bell. Facts, not Fancies. By Sirs. Harriet N. K. Goff. With an introduction by Rev. Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler. Paper cover 50c., cloth 75c. T. B. Peterson A Brothers, Philadelphia. This work is an autobiography written in the form of a novel, and while it contains terrible truths, it has all the fascination of a romance. Interest that cannot be shaken off pervades every page, and Mary Camp bell’s unvarnished narrative thrills while it excites pity for erring women and contempt for dissolute men. The Old South and the New South, A series of letters by Hon. William D. Kelley. G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York. Some of these letters have already ap peared in the newspapers. The material for them was gathered by Mr. Kelley dur ing a visit to the South last spring and sum mer. They are interesting and valuable. Those who want to get an unbiased view of those portions of the South which Mr. Kelley visited will find these letters particu larly valuable. Ida Waugh's Alphabet Book. J. B. Lippincott Company, Philadelphia, publishers. Price 8i 00. Th book is for the little ones, and while it will interest them greatly, it will assis t them in learning their letters. It is superbly gotten up. The illustrations are appro priate, the paper is heavy and fine, and the printing is of the highest class. The verses are by Amy E. Blanchard. There could hardly be a finer Christmas present for chil dren. The Wide, W t ide World. By Elizabeth Wether ell, with etchings by Frederick Dielman. Com plete in one volume. Cloth, $2 50. J. B. Lippincott Company, Philadelphia. This is a very handsome volume, the binding and typography being all that could be desired. The story is an interest ing one, the plot Vicing good, the characters sketched witn ability and the dialogue full of life. It is a story that catches the atten tion at the beginning aud holds it to the end. The Kentucky Resolutions ok I I’M: An histor- 1 ical study by Elizabeth Dudley Warfield, A. M., LL. 8., G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York, publishers. < The feeling that has existed that the his torical accounts of the Kentucky Resolu tions of 171)8 wero inadequate is satisfied by this work. While the interest in the reso lutions is especially groat in Kentucky, it is not small in other parts of the country among scholars. Millennial Dawn. Vol. 1. The Plan of the Ages. Cloth binding, sl. Tower Publishing Company, Allegheny, Pa. Of this work the Evening Pont, of ,San Francisco, is quoted as saying: “It is thor- refreshing, in this ago of skepticism and vaunted indifference to the truths of religion, to find a writer coming nobly for ward to maintain the principle of a revealed religion.” The New Crusade; or High License and Prohi bition viewed in the Light of Federal Legisla tion. Lilierty Publishing Company, Still water, Minn. This is an interesting little work by Hon. Percy B. Smith, a member of the Minne sota bar. It is a valuable addition to the temperance literature of the tunes. The Lanuinc. ok the Pilorim Fathers and On The Wino are two nuinliers of the Teniel Series issued by Cartel Brothers of London THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1887. and their Now York representatives E. and J. B. Young A Cos. The works are a series of illustrations which for beauty cannot be readiiy ex celled. The last bound volume of the Century for six months (May to October) is the thirty-fourth. With the November, 1887, number, the magazine entered upon its eighteenth year, the seventh under the pres ent name. Until the end of 1884, the circu lation of the Century had rarely exceeded 130,U00. The first edition of the November number of that year, in which the War Papers were begun, was 141,500, and within the few months following six more editions were printed. The total permanent gain in circulation made by the War Papers has been about 75,000. and to this number 25,1#X) may be added as the increase brought about by the publication of the Lincoln His tory. The average edition of the past year has considerably exceeded 280,000, while of one issue the edition reached 252,500 —a figure beyond that of the most successful war number The contents of the Century volume include some notable papers. Here are Prof. Atwater’s valuable economic studies on the food question, several of Mrs. van Rensselaer’s Cathedral papers, with Pennell’s illustrations (to be continued in 1888); Dr. J. M. Buckley’s “Christian Science and Mind Cure;” biographical contributions from George Bancroft, Clarence Cook, Karl Blind, George Kennan and others; travel papers and art papers; essays on important subjects by Theodore T. M unger, John Bach McMaster and E. C. Stedman; single illus trated articles on “Finding Pharoau,” “Col lege Boat Racing,” by Julian Hawthorne, etc. The fiction includes the latter half of Mr. Stockton’s “Hundredth Man.” with nota ble short stories, among them “Jack,” by Miss Elizabeth Stuart Pheli>s, “Azalia,” by Joel Chandler Harris, etc. The St. Nicholas bound volumes for 188(3-87 contain nearly 2,000 pages of de lightful matter. During the past year the leading'features of St. Nicholas have in cluded Frank R. Stockton’s “personally conducted’ papers, suggestive articles en titled, “Ready for Business;” Gen. Badeau’s war stories for boys and girls; the serials, “Jenny’s Boarding House,” by James Otis, and “Juan and Juanita,” by Frances Cour tenay Baylor; St. Nicholas dog stories; “Historic Girls,” by E. S. Brooks; Mr. Wil liam H. Rideing’s series on the boyhood of great men; papers on cadet life at West Point, etc. AVithin the past few years this magazine has come to be very widely used as a supplementary reader in schools. For next year St. Nicholas has a greater pro gramme than ever. Mrs. Burnett, author of “Little Lord Fauntleroy,” is to contribute a short serial; and Joel Chandler Harris, John Burroughs, Frank R. Stockton. H. H. Boy e-ell, J. T. Trowbridge, Col. Richard M. Johnstone and Louisa M. Alcott are among the many distinguished writers who will contribute serial and short stories to this famous magazine for young people. MAGAZINES. Harpers for December excels any of its previous Christmas numbers and that is saying a great deal. Every article and story is complete in itself, and there is a profusion of illustrated short stories. The Christmas idea predominates throughout in a mast attractive form. The leading article is a charming one on “Old Garden Flow ers,” by F. W. Burbidge, of the Dublin Botanical Gardens. “Pauline Pavlovna” is a powerful dramatic poem by T. B. Aldrich, the scene of which is laid in a Russian masquerade ball. Reinhart illus trates the critical points of the plot by two full page drawings. The most signal feature of this number is a colored plate of Ameri can gems, illustrating an important article on “Precious Stones in the United States,” by George F. Kunz. This plate is one of the choicest products of litho graphic art ever accomplished, presenting a lac-simile in color and size of the most illus trious gems found in this country—a group of brilliant colors requiring twenty separate printings. There is also a number of black and white drawings. Will Carleton con tributes a vigorous poem called “The Con vict’s Christmas Eve,” which is illustrated by Gilbert Gaul. The remarkable group of illustrated short stories is unparalleled in magazine literature, comprising “Inja,” a Virginia story, bv Atnelie Rives, beauti fully illustrated by Frederick Dielman; “His Day in Court,” a Tennessee story, by Charles Egbert Craddock, with five capital drawings by A. B. Frost; “Captain Santa Claus,” a frontier Christmas story, by Capt. Charles King, illustrated by R. F. Zogbaum; "Annie Laurie,” a thrilling story of the Massachusetts stone quarries, by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, illustrated by C. S. Rein hart; and “Craddock’s Heldest,”the story of a London waif, by Frances Courtenay Bay lor, illustrated by Frederick Barnard. Har per & Brothers, New York. The Christmas number of Scribner's Mag azine is especially notable for its wealth of imaginative literature, both in prose fiction and narrative verse. There is a marked in dividuality, vigor, sincerity and beauty shown in the stories and poems, which have been enriched with an unusual number of illustrations, every one of which has been made from an original drawing by a skilful artist. These have been reprodu ed by ex pert wood engravers. The result is that what is best in literature aud art is represent ed in this number, which fitting ly concludes the first year of a remarkably successsful magazine. The number opens with a remarkable poem. The exquisite genius of Robert Louis Ste venson has transformed into a stirring ballad the legend of the Cameron “who heard a word in the night”— “The name—Ticonderoga, The utterance of the dead.” Two handsomely illustrated poems in dif ferent veins are "Tarpeia,” a legend of ancient Rome, by Louise Imogene Guiney, with a full page engraving after a drawing by Howard Pyle; and “A Song to the Lute,” by Austin Dobson. There are four complete stories in the number (three elaborately illustrated), by writers who have made dis tinct places for themselves in widely differ ent fields. Charles Scribner’s Sons, New York. The December Forum contains some notable articles. “The ideal Democratic party,” says James Parton, in discussing “The Issue Next Year,” “is composed of the many who suffer and the few who think, and such a party it measurably was in its great day when the good Jefferson was chief. The Republican party,” he contin ues, “has honestly and boldly taken in charge the supposed interest of a class, leaving to its antagonist the conquering force of principle, which is the interest of all.” A sectional question of a somewhat novel kind, is raised by the Hon. John A. Casson, of lowa, in an i ssay on “The Wes tern View of the Tariff. " With partisan ship and side issues eliminated, what are the precise jwints involved in the Fisheries Question ! Dr Freeman Hnow, Instructor of Internaßlonal Laws at Har vard College, has a concise review of the controversy, stating the case of each side and explaining the bearings, on every point at issue, of the treaties ami of interna tional law. The other articles arc fully as interesting as the above. The Forum Pub lishing Company, 1)7 Fifth avenue, New York city. Outing for December contains the thrill ing experiences of Emma Frances Benedict daring her winter’s sojourn in Gen. Hook er’s camp. The illustrations and frontis piece are by A. R. Waud, an artist who was on the spot, and familiar with all the inci dents sue describes, and J. E. Kelly. The article is esiiecially novel and interesting. Gen. Randolph B. Marcy contributes a highly instructive and entertainiug article on hunting the American moose, in the De cember Outing. The General is a keen sportsman, an accomplished writer, and has had forty yearn’ border experiences after every kind of game to be found on this con tinent. J. Carter Beard supplies four mag niilceut illustrations. Avery pretty picture of Irish hospitality and the stirring scenes with famous packs of that country’s fox hounds, is described. The text is Ills l rally illustrated by car ital pen and ink sketches. The Volunteer-Thistle races of October are chronicled tor preservation by all yachts men. 140 Nassua street, New York. The American Magazine of History for December is an especially fine number. The article on Aaron Burr will be read with deep interest Another article that will at tract a great deal of interest is “Stephen A. Douglass and the Free Boilers.” The frontis piece is a fine portrait of lAfayette as he appeared in 1824. 743 Broadway, New York. The Morning News has received a pamphlet descriptive of Pulatka, Fla., and Putnam county in which Palatku is located. Putnam county is regarded as the “home of the citrus family. ” It is certainly a land for the fruit growers and gardeners. The pamphlet is handsomely illustrated and con tains a great deal of information. The Connoisseur for December is a par ticularly flue number. The illustrations are numerous, well selected and splendidly executed. The explanatory reading matter and the articles on art subjects are certain to give satisfaction. Bailey-Banks & Biddles, Twelfth and Chestnut streets, Philadelphia' The Hook Buyer, Christinas number, is a marvel. Its illustrations are well calculated to arrest attention for their beauty. The number of them is large. The Book Buyer is steadily growing into favor with the public. Charles Scribner’s sons, New York. The Church Review for November has seven articles, any one of which is worth more than the price of the magazine. Banon & Gediles, New York city. MME. GERSTER’ i VOIC/. It is Not in Good Form and She is Obliged to Rest It. From the New York Times, Nov. 28. Mine. Gerster sang for the last time in public for some weeks to come at New Haven on Saturday evening. Mr. Henry Abbey, her manager, said last night that Mine. Gerster had decided to rest for a month or six weeks before again appearing in concert. This decision on the part of the priina donna is due, Mr. Abbey says, to the fact that whenever she has sung in public during her present engagement she has lieen overcome by an unaccountable nervousness which has prevented her doing full justice to herself. She says that her voice was always in perfect form on rehearsal for a concert, but that when she went before the footlights it forsook her as if by magic. It is because of this nervousness,which for the time being has assumed au aggravated character, that Mine. Gerster realizes that she cannot do full justice to herself, and has decided to rest until she shall have some what recovered hfcr health. Mr. Abbey says that he sent Mr. Coples ton to Italy to make arrangements with Mine. Gerster for the present tour in Ameri ca. Mr. Copleston heard her sing and re ported her voice as being as good as ever. Mme. Gerster herself was also convinced that her vocal powers had suffered no im pairment. It was on the strength of these statements that Mr. Abbey undertook the concert tour. Since then Mr. Abbey says he lias learned that Copleston heard Mme. Gerster sing in a room instead of in a hall, to which fact he attributes the false impres sion of her voice derived by Mr. Copleston. Asa consequence of Mme. Gerster’s de cision to rest the concert company which was organized to accompany her on her tour wifi not for the present fill any of the dates made out for it, although all engage ments which have been arranged for con certs at the Casino will be fully carried out. Beyont the latter concerts, however, noth ing will be done by the company to fill the engagements originally entered into by Abbey, Schoeffel and Grau. OFFICIAL MORTUARY HEPORT.
