The London Bookseller, in notidng Houghton, Miffln & Co's fine new illustrated catalogue of publications, says: "The American publishers are, somehow, more ingenious and pushing, we fancy, than our own."

One of the most troublesome of losses, to an author, is the burning of the m4nuscript of a completed book. Col. R. H.

gifiM SCHOOL.NOTE*

The school is in a prosperous condition, and everything seems to run smoothly. The teachers have discovered that the scholars do not practice what they have learned, and have determined to mark papers on penmanship, spelling, composition and grammar. They think after have been through spelling^rammar and composition, wc should be able to write a paper, which they ould not b.e ashamed to show to anyone.-

A TELEGRAM from the Hague, published on Friday, stated that six thousand and eighty-two persons!had signed Professor Hastings' andresa to the English people in regard to independence of the Transvaal. Broadside copies of the address, in Dutch and English, with the names of several thousands of signers, have been received on this continent bv mail. It is an ingeniously constructed document, reminding Gladstone of his protest against the Transvaal annexation as both unjust and impolitic, and also of the stuff ths Boers are made of, being descendentA of "the men who struggled through eighty years for*the maintenance of theirnattonal independence." Further on the British people are flattered on account of their own resolute character and love of fair play and the appeal is made to them to support her Majesty's Ministers in undoing "an act of illiberality which a Cabinet of known liberal sentiments would neyer have approved or carried out." The author of the address, while nominally appealing to the British people, has wisely looked over their beads and pointedly, but very cleverly, addressed the man behind the throne. msw
