TUCKER, Boston, has just published "The Ragpicker of Paris," a masterpiece of fiction, by Félix Pyat.

In its new form it presents a complete panorama of the Paris of the present century. HARPER & BROS. have just ready "The Aztec Treasure House," by Thomas Janvier, who, in the form of romance, gives the result of many years of unremitting labor, and furnishes reliable facts regarding Yucatan and Mexico, put together with his special knack at artistic color in wordpainting; also a library edition of Walter Besant's new romance of to-day, entitled "Armorel of Lyonesse," which was issued a week ago in the Franklin Square Library. The story opens in the Scilly Islands. Both volumes are fully illustrated. FLEMING H. REVELL, of New York and Chicago, has arranged with the English publishers to issue at once an author's edition of Prof. Dawson's new work, "Modern Ideas of Evolution as Related to Revelation and Science.

This volume will sustain the high reputation already attained by the Pen I and Pencil Series, of which this is the twentyfirst volume, Prof. Mahaffy being the acknowledged authority on Greece." G. P. PUTNAM'S SONS have in press for early publication "The Trees of Northeastern America," by Charles S. Newhall, with an introductory note by Prof. N. L.

DE WOLFE, FISKE & Co. have just published Mystery Evans," a novel describing the romantic life of three "Wellesley" girls, written in a graphic and entertaining manner; also, "What is the Matter, or, our tariff and its taxes," by N. H. Chamberlain, a discussion of the tariff laws from a free-trade point of view, pronounced," which has proved one of the most successful of Phyfe's books. They have also under way Tabular Views of Universal History," a series of chronological tables presenting, in parallel columns, a record of the more noteworthy events in the history of the world from the earliest times down to 1890, compiled by G. P. Putnam and Lynds E. Jones. The tables are so arranged that the reader can see at a glance who were the contemporary rulers and what was going on in the different realms of the world at any given date, not only as to political changes, but in the progress of society. The earlier tables, prepared by the late G. P. Putnam, have been continued to date, on the same general plan, by Lynds E. Jones.

One of the Scilly isles is the home of Armorel, a young girl of sixteen when the story opens. Her ancestors have been wreckers and smugglers, and have all met violent deaths, owing, it is supposed, to a curse which followed them after her great-great-grandfather had stolen the fortune-a bag of uncut rubies-from a shipwrecked man. Armorel lives alone with her great-great-grandmother and some ancient servitors. The island seems a land of enchantment, full of strange sights and wonderful bits of scenery. It is told how Armorel meets the hero, how she comes into the inheritance of her smugglar ancestors, finds the bag of rubies and hears the story concerning them, and then dedicates her life to finding the descendants of the wronged man. *Bible.

The question the writer seeks to answer is not what Wagner wrote in Parsifal, nor how he wrote it, musically and otherwise, but how he came to write the work at all. Or, in other words, what sort of a personal relation to, and what sort of an interest in Christianity it was which impelled him to the toil involved in the design and execution of such a work.

A concluding chapter gives an interesting list of writings on newspapers and reporters. |
