finer. He polar woM is (he world of mystery,
and every effort of man to break throigh tie
iarrier thnt snirc-unils the poles has hitherto
bn battled; lut the rcKnlts of the explora
tions that have taken place have been such as
lo whet curiosity and to excite a restless desire
in some minds to force nature to give up the
great necret that nlie has thus far jealously
guarded. The centre of Africa has been ex
plored, and the fabled sources of the Nile have
teen revealed to the world, so that they have
almost ceased to be objects of speculation
and wonder. The open sea that nurrouuds
the pole still remains to bafile curiosity and
to excite adventurers to explore it, amd to
a,eign a reason for its existence. Will this
ever be done ? No one knows; but the pro
gress cf science and discovery has been so
treat dnring' the present century thnt no
fntnre developments will be matter for sar
prise of wonderment.
The work before us is a very cornpleto ex
position of the subject upon which it under
takes to treat, and yet it is written in such a
plain and familiar style that it is eminently
suited for popular reading. It takes np in
detail the polar countries of Europe aud
Ainerk-a, and discusses their peculiarities of
climate, the manners and customs of the in
habitants, the animal and vegetable life, the
progrebs of discovery, and the adventures of
cplorers. The American editor has added
chapters on "Alaska" and "'The Innuits," an.l
a number of important illustrations that in
crease the value of the work. The book is
very profusely illustrated throughout, and
we commend it as one of much value an 1 in
terest to all classes of readers.

"The Romance of Spanish History," by John
H. C. Abbott. Published by Harper A Bro
thers. In this work Mr. Abbott has endea
vored to present in a readable and compact
shape the most romantic and interesting epi
sodes of Spanish history, from the earliest
ages to the present time. The subject is a
fasr inaling one, that tn author of even ordi
nary ability could scarcely fail to make inte
resting; and ns Mr. Abbott, despite many
glaring faults, is a really interesting writer,
the work before us is one that is well worthy
jf perusal.
From Turner Brothers A: Co. we have re-'
ceived'the third volume of Miscellanies," by
W. I.I. Thackeray. Published by Fields, Os

"Character Sketches," the uutinished novel of
"Denis Duval," "Mei.'s Wives,'' and the
stories of "The Bedford Row Conspiracy,"
"A Little Dinner at Timmias', ' and "Iho
Fatal Boots." These sketches are among the
most characteristic of Thackeray's writings,
. ind they are well deserving of the honor of
being included in a complete edition of his
works. The only wonder is that they have
' lever been collected before, a-.d the pub
lishers are doing a genuine service to tho
public by presenting them in tLis neat and
attractive shape.
J. B. Lippincott A Co. send us a pretty
little book of "Nursery Carols," which are
made very attractive by the admirable illus
Irations of Ludwig Richter and Oscar Pletsch,
two of the best German artists on woo l of j
the day. j
From T. B. Peterson & Brothers we have '
"received 4 "Robert Graham," the second vol
ume of the new edition of Mrs. Caroline Leo

Mrt'. Hentz is a writer whose popularity is on
the increase, and this complete and uniform
edition of her works will be appreciated by a
large and admiring circle of readers.
From Claxton, llemsen L Haffelfinger
we have received "Joe and the Howards," by
Carl. Published by Andrew F. Graves, Bos
ton. In this work an interesting story is
made the medium of a discussion of tho
natural history of insects, with a view of
making the study of nature attractive to
young readers.

From It Follet.
The season has arrived when we must dis
card the light and airy materials of summer
wear, and adopt the more appropriate, though
; not less elegant warmer textures. English
poplins are in great demand, and will become
more so as tho autumn advances. Merinoes
fdso a tissue both light and soft are begin
ning to appear. The toile d Eve, the valen
cias glace and Scotch plaids are useful
and solid, and make very pretty cos
tumes. Thick white woollen dresses are
made for children, trimmed generally with
black velvet, and with double skirts, and
it jacket with broad revers of velvet. Waist
coats, and bodies with postilion, are suitable,
and will be worn with tho heavier material.
for skirts. Cachemire also continues to be
much worn, either with foulard or striped taf
fetas, as underskirts and trimmings. The
paletot has reappeared and become a novelty.
It is indispensable for morning promenade or
travelling and simple toilettes The style is
to convenient and becoming that, although
abandoned for a time, it is sure to be a favo-
"' rite again. The form has gained by the short
exile; it is no longer the paletot-sac, which
sometimes concealed the elegant and pretty
, figure, but is shorter, and more shaped; the
bottoms of the s'eoves are larger aud trim
med moi-6 fully. The paletot is open lroia
the vraist behind, and falls into two points
fceparated by bows at the waiut. Lace, jilait
ins of ri!k, and a frill, or ofieucr the tme
trimming ns the 'dress, is employed. Velvet,
.sutin, moire anti'jni:, j.lup.h, cachemire, and
cloth are the novelties of the weaion. Poplin
and moire, faille and satin, cachemire and
velvet, compose the newest and most blegnt
continues. Confections of velvet will be orna
mented with passementerie an crochet. Thore
is no longer a uestion ns to the material To:
trimming the autumn hat. Velvet, mixed wit h
black jet, is thefixed mode; andnothingcan re
place it, however many other pretty ornament
insy be adopted. For example, the toqnots
"JienrillL" Tho style is sombre, and the
buckle and ornaments, as well as the border
on the edge of the hat, of jet, give it a
bright and elegant appearance. The "Tyro
lien," so suddenly accepted as la mode, will
continue to be worn dnring the winter. It is
made in felt in black or dark colors. Dark
green, among other sombre shades, is in
good taste. The crown is high and rather
pointed. The trimmings are velvet, ribbons,
jet, and feathers. There nre two or three
narrow rows of velvet round the crown, to
match the color of the felt. If trimmod with
ribbon, it should be wide, crossed or tied be
hind, with the ends in small pans fringed.
This stylo is suitable only for the young, to
whom it gives a picturesque air. The cha
peaux de tulle and the chnpeaux, de campagae
begin to assimilate, and in the mixed form
nre not wanting in elegance. A black velvet
Jint, with trimming of lace and draperie of
velvet thrown back in the stylo of
the fisherman's cap, with a deep
bright-colored llower placed ovor the
ear, is very becoming. A black net
senrf, half covering the hair, tied under the
chin and rolled around the throat, gives it an
Oriental nppeararice, and is cither hat or
visiting boi:nt. Young ladies wear also
straw hats, the edges tightly drawn up to the
crown, the crown being entirely covered with
velvet or blue mauve, or green moire. Tho
edges are plain straw . A bow with long ends
is placed behind to fall over the hair. The
length of the rolled vails should be rather
more than three yards of Donna M.iria gauze.
They are ut drawn over the face, but turned
round the hat and throat. The name "Ilor
tense" has been given to this style of vail,
from a portrait of thnt Queen, who is drawn
with one of white gauze encircling the face
nnd throat. The sailor's hat has simply a
ribbon round the crown. They nre of a black
or white straw. The Watteau" is a small
round hat placed very forward over the brow.
The trimming lor this hat, must be put quite
at the back, which gives it a very raised ap
pearance. The toque is still very fashionable,
edged with black velvet. Two long ostrich
feathers, crossed, fall over the chignon. The
style of arranging the hair is essential, in
order that the tlillerent forms of hats should
preserve their individuality. The chignon is
raised on the heed; the rest of the hair falls
on the neck in plaits or in a net. Curls ac
company nil styles of eoift'nve, and are either
short at the ends of the bandeau or quite
long, falling over the shoulders. Little girls
with long r.nd thick hair have it in simple
plaits hanging down the back. Only very
young children wear the hair waved be
hind, and drawn up from the forehead on
each side, and tied with a bow on the sum
mit of the head. The redingoto resembles
the robe "Princess," that is to say, without a
seam at the waist. The revers on the body
form a sailor collar, open in front, and join
ing half way down the chest; it then widens,
and makes a turned-back revers on the skirt.
The color of the revers is blue or gold color,
to suit the dress. Biases of the eame trim
the arm-hole and top of tho llounce of the
skirt, ami bottom of the redingote and broad
open cutis, through which passes the broad
lace of the white under-sloeve. White serge
nnd white cachemire are used for robes de
ehambre, trimmed with colored velvet revers
edged with white guipure. V el vet robes do
ehambre, titling to the figure nnd wadded,
have quilted satin revers.
We must describe some very rich and ele
gant toilettes, as well as others more simple.
A toilette of white faille, with round skirt
trimmed with three biases of taffetas under
three Valenciennes lace flouuces. The
tunique en redingote in front reaches half
way down the skirt, and is embroidered with
sinall autumn leaves in different shades of
