TIE SALAMANDER-Mr. Winchester has Just
published another tale of Eugene Sue. 1t is a
short story, translated by Mr.. Herbert. Mr..
Herbert has succeeded much better in this work,
than N Matilda 1t is more in accordance with
his taste. The fierce passions--bloody strifes-
and cold-blooded crime are directly in his line OF
writing. There are faults, however, which we
might point out but on the whole it is translated
with great power. In this tale, Mr.. Sue seems
to make an effort to combine the most frightful
things his excited Imagination could coniure up.
His chief male characters simply Mephistopheles
turned into handsome man, and Alice, his chief
female character, Is a most contemplate being.
The story is told with terrible vividness, bat is
decidedly immoral and bad in its tendency.

Ccvennes translated from the French of Eugene
Sue, by VIM. ]. SneIling." We should never
have dreamed that this work was written by Eu-
gene Sue, if we had not seen ii stated 50 on the
cover. We think there must be some mistake
about it. 1t is, however an excellent tale, and
possesses a good deal of interest. Burgess &

NATION on this subject. Mr.. II. Newman, 1893
Broadway.
