Dwellers in the HillsBy MELVILLE D. POST, author of "The Strange Schemes ol Randotpti

Mason," --The Man of the Last Resort," etc. Second EDmoH, si.2>A book to grow enthusiastic about— as fascinating to adults as lairv tales

to children. It deals w ith l:k in the West Virginia hillcattle country as :t wastwenty years ago and never will be again. The book is a true romance,powerful, virile, new. yet every detail is true to the lite. No more charmingbook has been published this season.

tlon among the bystanders. The shell had"flunked" him by taking off an arm.

Mr. Page had his share of the trials of thecorrespondent, and thus graphically describessome of them:

You are a "special." It is far into the nightwhen you begin. You rode all day and part ofthe night, and have only now had your ablu-tion and your supper. You begin: "Squat like atoad" before a camp fire; a stumpy lead penciland smoke in your eyes, dingy paper andashes puffed into your fare; no part of you thathas not its special pain and torment. Yourbrain is in a «tat* of "confusion worse con-founded." Your eyes will shut, your pencil willdrop from nerveless fingers; but Isay untoyou. write! Do you forget hat you are a"special" and must write? Force yourself to

the rack, tug away, bear on hard, and when youare done, do not read it over or you will throwIt Into the lire. Now arrange with the guard to

have yourself awakened at daybreak, an houror two hence, and then lie down, wonderingwho wouldn't be a "special."

There are many of such glimpses of army lifescattered through the rao-e serious reporting ofgreat movements and momentous battles ofwhich the book consists, and they afford inter-esting reading. The importance of Mr. Page'sservice la seen from the fact that his letterscover the battles of Oaines's Mill,White OakSwamp, the second Hull Hun, the Wilderness,Bpottaytvanla, Cold Harbor and the movementsabout the James, Petersburg and the occupationof Richmond. He also accompanied the funeralcortege of Lincoln to his home in Springfield.111., and reported the great review of the Unionarmies In Washington.

A DICTIONARY OF ARCHITECTURE: ANDBUILDING. BIOGRAPHICAL. HISTORICALAND DESCRIPTIVE. By Ruesell Sturxls. A.

M.. Ph. D., Fellow of the American Instituterf Architects, and Many Architects, Painters.Engineers and Other Expert Writers, Americanand Foreign. In Three Volumes. Vol. I.A—BQuarto, pp. lx.SMI. The Macmillan Company.

A dictionary of architecture and building

¦Men would he concise, thorough, authorita-tive, well illustrated and available at a reason-able price in really convenient form has long

been needed. Mr. Sturgi? has undertaken to

give us such a work, and the execution of it

could not have seen put in setter hands. He

has a professional acquaintance with his sub-

ject; since his retirement from active business

he has been a constant student of, and a fre-

quent writer on. architecture. The contributorsassociated with him in the making of the three

volumes of which the first has just appeared

are so numerous that it is impossible to give

Their names here; but it may suffice to state thatthey have all been selected with a rigid view to

their expert knowledge of the themes on which

they have been asked to write. Mr.Sturgls has.furthermore, succeeded in communicating to

each of his helpers a dear sense of exactly the

proportion required in the treatment of the mat-

ters assigned to him. The first volume, carrying

the record from "Aaron's Hod" to "Ezhuahuac."pleases at once through its excellent typography,

illustration and general manufacture, and close

examination st the text Justifies the conclusionthat the dictionary willbe when completed one

of the most satisfactory works of reference ever

Issued in this country.

Mr.Sturgis has struck a happy medium in thebroad lines of his scheme. Technical accuracy

has been sought throughout, and the book will

bear the tests of a practising architect or engi-

neer, as well as those of the layman: but by

adhering to great simplicity of statement, andwith the aid of illustrations, the information Is

pa luminously conveyed as to leave even the

least instructed of readers no excuse for misun-derstanding the points of a description or a

definition. The limitation of a definition is

6ometimes open to question. The nine lines de-voted to "Coffer," for example, might legiti-

mately have been extended to permit an inti-

mation of the essentially decorative significance

which the coffered ceiling has often possessed,

Super inII;- in those examples of the Italian

Renaissance in which the use of carving: and. color, or at least of gilding, raised the work to

A the level of a fine art. But the point is not a

W serious one. and in the main the explanation

leaves nothing to be desired: in fact, the searchfor omissions which such a compendium as thisInvariably invites yields nothing- that cannot

be easily corrected on a single sheet introducedin the second or third volume.

Thus the text relating to "Arcade." which isperfect so far as it goes— especially on the ec-

clesiastical side— might be supplemented with abrief note on the place of this feature in Italianstreets, notably those of Bologna, In the texton "Amphitheatre" we would not have any

less said about the ancient examples than the

book gives, but the paragraph on the term "in

modern usage" ought to take account of suchstructures as, say. the great bull ring at Madrid.If the Auditorium Building,at Chicago, and Bilt-more House, in North Carolina, are worth men-tioning, which seems to us doubtful, thereshould be room for specific alphabetical com-memoration of divers important ehateaus that

have been omitted altogether or are only men-tioned under a general caption, as Chamilly,

Chenonceaux and others. The sub-titles on thepage devoted to "Brick" include no reference toenamelled brick. "Cassone" and "Curule."words that might easily happen to interest the

student of architecture, are unaccountably

omitted. The "Circus" is discussed with refer-ence to antique models alone. The permanent

circus building as it exists in Paris and else-where on the Continent to-day has a sufficiently

individualized character to warrant its inclusionin this book. The name of Sir Francis Chan-trey is incorrectly spelled in the biographical

note on that British sculptor, and no allusion Is

made to the episode in his histor> which servesbetter than any of his works to keep his namealive, the establishment by the terms of his willof the well known* "Chantrey bequest." which

makes provision for the president of the RoyalAcademy and for the purchase of works of art

for the nation.It will be seen, however, that the omissions

are few and of no very serious character Wehave subjected the book to repeated tests from

the first page to the last, returning to it again

and again, and practically always finding thatwhatever information was desired was sure tobe there. The subjects requiring to be treatedmore or less at large, like the architectural char-acteristics of the different countries, like"Church," "Apartment House," "Bridge.," andco on, are necessarily given more space thanmost of the topics dealt with, but these minia-ture essays are marked by the same point, clar-ity and practicality which Mi Sturgls has else-where shown himself anxious to attain. Hisreward will be, we believe, the heartiest appre-ciation and admiration among architects, stu-

dents and all those who have occasion, whetherfrequently or casually, to consult his pages.

A LAXDMARR HISTORY OFNEW-YORK. Alsothp Orlpln of Street Names ;nnla Biblli graphy.By Alhort rimanii. Octavo, I'll viii, I'sr, DAppleton & Co.

Georpe, Tom ami Emilyaro a hand of dorilechildren who make an extended series of pil-grimages around New-York under thr tutelageof Professor Williams", to view the spots thathave historic associations and recall various im-portant events in the life of the city. ProfessorWiliiarns knows all about them, and lets nothingesnape him that can serve him as a starting:point for entertainlnp discourse on the vicissi-tudes through which New-York has passed sin^eHenry Hudson's day. The book introducing-these figures is an agreeable presentation of thefacts, and its thoroughness makes it a valuableaddition to municipal history. New-York is sogoverned by a spirit of tearing- down and re-building at short intervals, as Mr. Ilinann ob-serves, that veritable landmarks of its past arerapidiy disappearing. Various public spiritedefforts, however, have determined and markedmany of the more important historic sites, andif the flavor of antiquity Is hard to find any-

where in New-York City to-day there is at [eastthe memory of where it should linger. Mr. I'l-mann has filled his book with an interestingcollection of pictures, scenes and portraits, re-produced from old plates, and maps, which give-it a special value.

Of course, the Dutch period is the first to bestudied; and a short tour below Wall-st. is suffi-cient to exhibit its topographical features, andto show the tablets marking the site of AdrianBlock's first settlement, where Aldrich Courtnow stands on Broadway; of Fort Am? rdam,where the new Custom House will stand; thefirst Dutch tavern, in P.-arl-Pt.. the oldest Streetin the city, and Peter Stuyvesant's pear tree, atThirteenth-Ft. and Third-aye. All this is natu-rally a text upon which to hang a running com-mentary on the life and history of th«> town atthat era. fio, too, the English period is re-called by the city seal, with the windmill armsand the flour barrels, commemorating the flourmonopoly of I«>7^; the Bradford tablets, showing

where the first printing press was set up, inPearl-st.. and the first newspaper printed, wherethe Cotton Exchange stands; the De Lanceyhouse, where sedition was brewed in pre-rtevo-lutionary times; Golden Hill, at th<- corner ofWilliam and John sts., where the first blood ofthe Revolution was shed two months before theBoston massacre; the site of th*' oft destroyedLiberty pole, nt the Postoffice, of Willett's boldUssrauuneni Of the British troops at Broad andBeaver sts., and of the reading of the Declara-tion of Independence to the American Army.The memorials of these places and incidents andmany others that are now established on Man-hattan Island are prompting enough for thepleasant r^suraf of Revolutionary history thatMr. t'lmann winds about them, and for the evenmore interesting- side lights on the manners andcustoms of the day, which be is enabled tothrow upon his narrative.

The workaday life of the metropolis is scarcely

aware of the jcr.'at number of interesting factsin the later history of the city that can betraced in various parts of the town by one whohas the lore at his command. Mr. I'lmannknows and chronicles them all, pointing out sitesand such remaining structures as then- are, andsnonwemtlns; every tablet that exists to com-memorate the past, down to that in front ofthe City HhII. where the rapid transit work ispurported to have begun. He tells It all so en-tertaintnsty and pictures it BO variously andstrikingly that he gives a new life and sug-gesttveiie.-s to municipal annuls apt to seemdull and dry. Such a contribution toward theawakening of a <-lvic spirit should be gratefully

received; it la peculiarly valuable in New- York,

where that spirit is so frequently Obscured. Notthe least valuable part of the book is a list ofthe old streets of the city, and an explanationof the origin and changes of th<ir names. A\,Uuabl- bibUofrnpbir is appended.

LETTERS OF A WAI! CORRFSPOXDEXT. ByCharles A. }'.!•-'.- With Portraits and Maps.Edited with Note* by James R. Ollmore. Oc-tavo, pp. xii,397. Boston: I-.C. Page <& Co.

This volume contains the correspondence fromvarious battlefields of the Civil War of a brill-iant young writer In the service of The Tribune."No more graphic, faithful or venturesome cor-respondent than Charles A. Page looked at ourCivil War. and none more truthfully describedits momentous events," says the editor of thebook, and its pag^s are full of matter that bearsout this view of his work. It seems hardlynecessary that all the accounts of battles andstrategic movements that Mr. Page sent Northehauld be reproduced in this permamertt form;the labors of the war historians have super-seded them, however valuable they may be asmaterial for the scrutiny of those historians;but the freshness of view and vividness of manyof the narratives make them a real contributionto the war hteratur?. in which public Interest,as time goes on. seems rather, to increase thandiminish.

A STORY OF Till: /VM.IY MUTIXY.From The Cornhill.

One at the most surprising of these personaladventures was that which overtook the Dep-uty Commissioner of Delhi, Sir T. Ifetealfe.. . . Metcalft escaped from Delhi on horse-back, hotly pursued by some native cavalry.His horse broke down, and in despair heappealed to a friendly looking native to concealhim from his pursuers. %The man led him to acave, told him he would save him if possible,and. striking his horse on the flank, sent it gal-Icplng down the road, while Metcalfe creptth.ough the black throat of the cave into con-cealment. Presently Metcalfe heard his pursuersride up, fiercely question his protector, andfinally propose to search the rave.

"On this mv friend burst out laughing, and.raising his vo! bo that Imust hear, he said:'Oh, yes. search the cave! Do search it! Hut I'lltell you what you will find. You will find agreat red devil in there; he lives up at the endof the cave. You won't be able to see him. he-cause the cave turns at the end, and the devilalways stands just round the turn, and he hasgot a great long knife in his hand, and the mo-ment your head appears round the. corner hewill slice it off, and then he willpull the bodyin to him and eat It. Go In, do go in; the poordevil is hungry. It Is three weeks since he hadanything to eat, and then It was only a goat.He loves men. does thin red devil, and If youall go in he willhave such a meal! 1

"

Metcalfe guessed that he was intended to hearthis speech and act upon It. The cave, a shortdistance from the entrance, turned at lightangles. He stood with his sword uplifted Justround the earner; while a lino <<( dismountedcavalry, in single file, one daring fellow leading,came slowlyup the cave. As soon as the leaderput his head in the darkness round the cornerMetcalfe smote with all his strength. The fel-low's head rolled from his body, and his comp-

anions, with a yell of terror, and tumblingi '.!•• over another in the darkness, fled. "Didyou see Mas?" demanded Metcalfe's friend out-Bide. "Do go back; he wants more than one."Hut the rebel cavalry had had enough. Themen who had. gone up the cave declared thatthey had actually seen the red fiend and beenBcorched by th» gleam of his eyes, and, mount-ing their horses, they fled.

"Why did you save my life?" Metcalfe askedMs protector. "Because you are a Ju«t man,"»ai the reply. "How do you know that
