Indians and bears were apt to
theme, and the scene 'was usually in
the west or southwest, though he
ranged the world over in his thrilling
stones of hair breadth escapes. He
was essentially a writer for boys, and
we may frankly admit that, on the
whole, he was a (rood writer, as hit
iply testified. Many a

then to think of his style, or, per-
haps, even knew that there was snoh a
thing as literary style. Theplotwasthe

The ear mails of style, nevertheless,
are there in . the objectiveness of the
story and its radical adventurism, hi
this tale, however, it is the society ad
venturers of New York and London
and the political adventurers or Eng
land ana th6 continent in the awk
wardly insurrectionary times about
.1850 that wo see. He -wrote with rest,
like a "Red Republican,” a revolution
ist, and wove in a number of histori
cal incidents in a quite unhistorical
manner. Phases of English and
American social life of near forty
years ago (and wo must remember that
this book was first published in 1868)
are shown up severely. What with
the fortune hunter on one side and the
title huntress on, the other, and their
follies, heartlessness and crimes, one
feels rather disgusted for getting into
such insipid and inherently bad com
pany. But the “Child Wife” herself
is an angel of innocent purity and
first" love devotion. As wo read
this story *we are frequently led
to wonder just how far it is
autobiographical. The fictitious hero

name) that
in many respects at. least, porttayinj
himself in manuscript. Mrs. Reii
says, in her preface to this edition,
that most of the events related were
actual incidents in the life or within
the experience of the author. In the
story Capt Maynard was born in Ire
land in 1818, and ‘ began his literary
career when about 80. Ho fought in
'tho Mexican war and wsis wounded
while storming Cliftpulioju'c. tmd in
1849 he set out to f.gi.t for the IIuu
gari.m revolutionists. All this is true
of Mavno Reid. Is it not also true that
Mrs. Reid, the widow of the author
since 1883,-was tho original of this

Tho Juggler and the Scotchman.
One of his most surprising feats was
performed on one of our, party, a
Scotchman named McFarlane. Plac
ing in McFarlane’s hands three pice-
small copper coins equal to ono farth
ing in value—he requested the Scotch
man to hold them as tightly os possi
ble and not to permit them to escape
him. McFarlane had a great deal of
confidence in himself and very little
in jugglers, and would have war
gered a round sum that he*could hold
three pice for the balonco of the day.
But in a few moments tho pice began
to swell, and McFarlano declared he
could feel them squirming. At last
ho dropped them, and behold the
coins had changed to young cobra-di-
capellos, each about six inches .long,
and these disappeared from our sight
OS mysteriously as they had appeared.

Tho Noiseless Powder.
Th§ discovery of a new powder that
explodes noiselessly, and without
smoke, will moke a revolution in the
movements of armies. There will
henceforth bo no botraynl of tlio posi
tion of a body of troops by a cloud of
smoke. It will hardly do, possible
either for soldiers to march with tho
samo inspiration ns when a rear of
guns accompanied their steps, and to
some extent they were blinded to tho
havoc of death in their ranks. That
the powder can explode absolutely
without any noiso is hardly possible.
The French guard the secret of tho
now explosivo and rifle very jealously,
hut it must soon bo known to other
nations. As war increases in terror it
decreases in its attractions. Tho chief
' charm of battlo is its excitement. That
tho Lobel rillo greatly diminishes.—
