horse, and he had something the matter with him. I must have another horse, and so I told Gorringe, who was acting flag-captain pro tem. In less than three hours he had found one, and I took him out to try his mettle. While riding along the river-side I met a lady on horseback, and I raised my cap as I was about to pass her, but she put herself right across the road and disputed my way. I hope you are enjoying yourself, sir, on my horse,' she said, and I am glad I have met the gentleman who borrowed him, because I want to know the man that borrows anything from me, to be certain that he will return it. You aren't what they call a quartermaster, are you? Because, if you are, I want to get my horse back at once. You're not, eh? Well, so much the better; you can come and see me. My name is Mrs. Holmes. That horse has a trick of shying; he'll throw you off if you let him; my house is a plain yellow building with gable-ends-and he's a little spavined, but nothing to hurt-and there's a large dog-house close to the gate, and he feeds on corn (the horse I mean); and there, now, I haven't time to listen to you at present, but hope you will enjoy yourself riding my horse; only take care of him, and don't forget to return him before you go away. Good-evening,' and off she rode."

IN CAMP AND BATTLE WITH THE WASHINGTON ARTILLERY OF NEW

ORLEANS. A narrative of events during the late Civil War, from Bull Run to Appo mattox and Spanish Fort. Illustrated with maps and engravings. By WILLIAM MILLER OWEN, First Lieutenant and Adjutant B.W.A. 8vo, pp. 467. 1885. Boston: Ticknor & Co.

The Washington Artillery of New Orleans was one of the best disciplined military organizations of the South at the breaking out of the late civil war. The volume before us is a record of its service, compiled by the adjutant from his diary, and from authentic documents and orders, and it possesses singular, even fascinating, interest. The author says, "I do not pretend to write a history of the civil war, nor any romance, nor will I set down aught in malice;" at the same time, he gives us a spirited and breezy narrative from the Confederate point of observation, and in a style so clear and attractive, and presented with such cleverness and good taste, that it retains all the flavor and attractiveness of a contemporary account, while based with precision on an official diary. "We were called 'band-box soldiers,' says the author, by the commands which came to Rich

mond direct from Pensacola, and saw us before we took the field. We are now (July, 1861) fast approaching an appearance that would have met their entire approbation, only as Bull Run flows just back of our camp, we could claim to be somewhat cleaner than the average; and let it be of record, that all through the war the Washington Artilleryman, though he might wear a ragged jacket and torn shoes, was clean and presentable. Indeed, this condition of things was necessary, as the command had, or claimed to have, cousins and aunts in every city or hamlet in the whole of the eastern part of the Old Dominion. The best rooms everywhere were opened to it, and the land flowed with eggs, chickens, milk, and wild honey.' The Hon. John Slidell and Judge Alexander Walker, of Louisiana, were often in our camp. Mr. Slidell was the guest of General Beauregard, whose head-quarters, removed to Weir's house, were not far from our camp on Bull Run. We often rode over after dress parade in the evening. The office of Colonel Jordan, his adjutant-general, was in the house. Captain Gray Latham, with his red flannel shirt, was the hero of the hour; Captain H. E. Peyton also loomed up like a hero. The general's staff was composed mostly of young South Carolinians of good family, such as Captains Heyward, Chisholm, Ferguson, and others."

The tone of the work is manly and straightforward. All the important engagements in which the Washington Artillery participated are sketched with accuracy and fullness of detail, and without a trace of bitterness toward the foe. The volume is handsomely printed, and several illustrations and battle maps add to its permanent value.

EVOLUTION AND RELIGION. Part I. By HENRY WARD BEECHER. Pamphlet 8vo, pp. 145. 50c. New York: Fords, Howard & Hulbert.

This handsomely printed pamphlet comprises Part I. of what may be regarded as one of the distinguished author's most important intellectual achievements. It contains the eight opening sermons of a series whose subject is sufficiently indicated by the title, and shows that Mr. Beecher is as ready now, when nearing the close of life, to enter the difficult field between theology and science, as he was thirty or forty years ago to enter the physically perilous regions that lay between pro-slavery and anti-slavery. His general views on evolution cannot be broadly considered until the series is complete, but it is safe to say that they will occupy a conspicuous place in the rapidly increasing list of works on this fascinating subject.
