REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS.
"Camors," Octave Fe tulle t's latest novel,
Ik translation of which has just been issned by
1. B. reterson &, Brothers, is a painfully
powerful story that is likely to do more harm
than good to any but experienced and
thoughtful readers. Elaborate and artistic
dissections of the moral diseases of French
Society may perhaps be studied with profit by
men and women old enough to understand
what they study and philosophical enough
cot to be fascinated by highly wrought de
scriptions of vice, but for the young and In
experienced they are in every way objeo
tiouab e. Our advice, therefore, to the
lathers and mothers of families is to keep
"Camors," if possible, out of the hands of
their children, as they are likely to learn
nothing from it that will be of any benefit to
them. We pass such a judgment as this with
regret, as the story is evidently written with
Bhigh moral aim by a thoroughly earnest
man. Decent people in making their way
through the world are frequently of necessity
brought in contact with much depravity, but
there is no necessity for those who are not
called upon to take an active part in reform
ing the world to seek oat the hidden wicked
nesses of mankind for the sake of amusement,
find those who do so are much more apt to be
Attracted than repelled by the contemplation
of such vices as are exposed by Octave Feuil
let in this novel.
"Cdtnors" is a picture of Parisian society
finder the Second Empire, and, read in the
light of the downfall of Kapoleonism and
the great desolation that has bowed France
to the dust, it is an evidence that in the cor
ruption which has been bred by the Empire
is contained the secret of defeat even more
than in the superior numbers and superior
generalship of the Prussians, and that some
such terrible national calamity was needed to
Clear the moral atmosphere. As a work of
art the work is unimpeachable, if we admit
the subject. It is as subtle as it is strong
and as vigorous as it is profound. The con
duct of the story and the delineation of the
characters are masterly in the extreme, and at
every point it glitters with a refined irony
that stabs like a rapier. In such a sentence
as the following Feuillet sums up completely
the character of a certain class of fashionable
French women, and that class is one that has
had no small influence in moulding the, Pari
sian society of to-day:
"Although she boasted of being a skeptic,
sometimes in the morning she went out,
concealed by a thick veil, and entered St.
Balpice, where she confessed and put herself
on good terms with God, in case he should
exist. She was rich and well connected, and
in spite of the irregularities of her youth, the
best people visited her house."
It is a mistake to say that surfi a novel as
"Camora"' is immoral as it is to make a simi
lar allegation with regard to such plays as
Camille or Fernande, but, like them, it is
certainly objectionable on the ground that
such pictures of social rottenness as it pre
sents are calculated to injure rather than
benefit the majority of those who will proba
bly inspect them.
Turner & Co. send ns the following new
books from the press of Carleton:
B"Chris and Otho," by Mrs. Julie P. Smith,
is a continuation of "The Widow Goldsmith's
Daughter," a cle,ver story that attracted con
siderable attention some months ago. Mrs.
Smith sketches character with skill and
"Chris and Otho," like the story of which
it is a st quel, is a bright, fresh, and readable
book.
"Ginger-snaps," by "Fanny Fern," is the
rather vulgar title of a collection of short
essays which are as superficial and as vulgar
as "Fanny Fern's" pen-sketches usually are.
Claxton, Bemsen & Haffelfinger send ns
"First Lessons in Greek," by James B. Boise,
Ph. D. , Prof essor in the University of Chi
cago. This little book is intended as an in
troduction to Hadley's "Greek Grammar"
and to the study of Xenophon's "Anabasis."
It is clear and concise, and is skilfully ar
ranged to assist and stimulate the student in
overcoming the first difficulties in the way of
mastering the Greek language.
The second index volume to the Prince'
ton Ilevieie, which we have received from the
publisher, Peter Walker, No. 821 Chesnut
street, contains a great number of interesting
biographical sketches of the most prominent
Presbyterian clergymen and laymen of the
United States. To those who possess com
plete sets of the Princeton Review these index
volumes will ba invaluable, w hile they have a
decided interest of their own apart from
their connection with the series which they
t npplement.
LIFE IX CAMP.
Itefore Mctz-Iloir the Noldlera Llve-Pra
paring a. Meal.
A correspondent of the London Daily Telenraph
writes from the camp before Metz: The principal
occupation, or rather the serious business of the
day, lu camp, is the preparation for a meal of some
sort. Dinctly you wake, human nature at once re
quires same Eustenance; yoa crave for a good hot
vup oi tea, especially u, an last uigui, you una your
Bilf exposed to what Virgil calls a ilacidu imbrr,
The fact was that the wall at the back of my shelter
cave vuv. a:-.d I round myself lying witn mv head
outside, the penile rain falling plentifully on my head
and la' e. The dry sticks which you have
taken to bed with you to keep dry are pro
duced as soon as day breaks, and a hot tin of
coffee without sugur or milk helps to pull
vou together. The business of the day
commences. A rush is made for the nearest "Mar-
keteudt i' wagon that has come up from Gorze. In
the foil iwinu of almost every regiment there is at
tached to each company an ludlvidual called a
Marketender." Half soldier, half publican, and
w onv tine), he is a curious mixture of cunning.
courage, and dishonesty terms, I am aware, that
are hu huph.v discordant, but which are all repre
sented In the character of the ".Marketender." ills
duty is, with his wagon, covered with canvas and
drawn by two wretched-looking horses, to rob, plun
d r. r lUT provisions at any of the villages he
pisses through, and to sell the produce to the sol-
u:ers or tne pariicuiar company 10 wnicn ue is at
tached, the number of which la painted on his
wajon and carried on his cap. Very often the
'Marketender" nas ms ueiier-nau to help niui
a virago who outbrazejw the sins of her
husband, bullies the soldiers, and cringes to the
dicers. Mrs. Marketenuerm is bv no
means an engaging-looking person. The one I have
to uo with wears a costume Bumcieuuy ludicrous.
A French soldier's cap covers her grizzled hair, the
peak shading a face which, from exposure to the
un, looks like a piece of badly tauueU leather; a
Voitigeura jacket envelops ner oony, ami a urge
red bandanna is wound round her waist, where she

Pre Asian soldier, whore bones, tn al probability, are

1 he appearance of the vlvandtorcs since the inva
sion ot French territory has wonderfullj improved,
no doubt at the expense of la belle France, and the
money they are making will, withont doubt, enable
thrm to eat their Kartoilelsalat'' and
drink their "Ziltlnger" for the rose of their
data In peace and qulettess on the banks of the
Moselle or wherever else they may please to settle
down. If yon are In favor, madanie produces a
piece of meat, from the recesses of the wagon, aud
perhaps an onion, a piece of bread, anil a glass of
echnapps, for which yon pay the moderate snm of
onetlialer. With these vali.a'iles you rush orT to

vastly, and he patted me on the back and answered,"

r oi respondents. The band is really the iuxuryof
the day. it plays in the afternoon, and the deli
cti us uirs of Beethoven, Mozart, and Meyerbeer
trnnsport one In imagination far from the surround
ing scenes.
VIOLATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL LAW
iadTgnnnt Protest of Prince tie In Tour
ci'Auvercne.
Prince de la Tour dAuversrne. the French Minister
for Foreign A tlalrs, has addressed the following let
ter to the European courts ;
Paris. August sc. 18.0. Sir: The Prussian srovern-
ment has alleged in documents of which we have
had information, that our soldiers have deviated
from international law by deliberately tiring on am
bulances and persons sent, for a paney. Before ever
advising the Minister of War of these allegations, I
protested In the name or the traditions of our armv,
and as soon as my colleague was informed of them,
Be energetically endorsed the language I had held.
Mistakes may Happen in tne neat oi conflict : more
just than our adversaries, we admit that neither of
the two armies is certain not to commit such errors ;
but, thac our soldiers have of set purpose disre
garded the sacred privilege of ambulances and the
rights of partem entaires, Prussia will persuade no
body, ana we nave no need to acrend ourselves
against such accusations.
it seems, moreover, mat tne rrussian Government
has shown all this eagerness in turning to its ad
vantage deeds to be regretted, but not yet proved to
have been committed, and, at any rate, isolated
cases, only as pretexts to justify itself for much
more serious acts which we have to urge against it,
and which involve much more directly the responsi
bility of the commanders of corps.
Everybody knows or the so-called "press ' ambu
lance, seized with Us attendants and material,
which had to traverse a part of Germany, Luxem
burg, and Belgium in order to re-enter France. The
same thing has been recently repeated in the
environs of Metis. Near Strasburg Baron de Bus-
slere was made prisoner in the midst of the ambu
lance which he had organized, and to which he was
devoting himself. It is equally notorious that a
rreccn surgeon was Killed on tne field or battle by a
Prussian soldier while in the act of stanching a sol
dier's wound. It appears, moreover, from the depo
sition of one of these surgeons. In the presence of
witnesses, whose declaration has been received at
the Ferneh vice-consulnte at Busle, that explosive
Dans nave been employed against, our troops, and
discovered In the wounds of some of our wounded.
These are so many violations not only of the usages
or an armies in modern times, but also or tne formal
stipulations of diplomatic conventions to which
riussia was a contracting party.
Finally tne newspapers nave announced tnat some
peasants of the neighborhood of Strasburg had been
impressed to dig the trenches opened by the Prus
sians before the place. We at (irst refused to give
credence to these rumors. We could not admit as
possible an act of violence not less contrary to the
rules of war than to tne laws or numaniry. The
certain testimonies which have since reached us
leave no more doubt of tho complete accuracy of
these informations. The Prussian authorities have
not recoiled from a measure which forces the de
fenders of StraBburg to lire on Frenchmen.
e protest in tne name oi universal conscience
against such abuses of strength, and In begging you
to bring them before the special attention of the
(government to which you accredited, I am conn.
dent that public opinion will visit them with a just
reprobation,
'i hfs circular was read In the French Senate on
the 1st Inst., and was much applauded.
TIIE TEIXCESS ALICE.
The Hospital at Dnrmwtadt-Tlie Princess at
uome.
A correspondent of the Pall Mall Gatette. who
visited the Hospital for the wounded at Darmstadt,
which Is under the special charge of the Princess
Alice, writes: "uertatniy, nothing can be more ad
mirably managed; and of those I have seen as yet
itIs the brightest, airiest, and most cheerful. The
principal building is a permanent one of stone and
glass an ex-conservatory. It stands In charming
gardens, witn ineir nower-Deus, anu saruooenes, ana
fountains, which, as the Princess sas, the French
men gallantly tell her remind them of the waterworks
of Aersallles. Through these are scattered a
number of auceumalea wooden pavilions where
the double rows of beds stand at ample intervals,
with canvas doors at tae ends, to be looped up at
will, and witn openings in tne roor, protected from
the wet, but open to the wind. The Princess says
the French strongly protest against tne rrewi air.
while the Germans, ou the contrary, very sensibly
welcome it as the best of specifics. She ought to
lie mistress or tne inward sentiments or tne patients,
for thev all seem to take her Into their Inmost confi
dence. It was worth a journey from England alone
to ste the faces or tne Batterers lighted up
as thev reflected the sisterly smiles on her.
As she passed along and stopped and spoke to
each, the invalid laid himself back on his pillow
with an expression of absolute lien etre. and for the
moment seemed to Had something more
than an anodyne for his pain. Her passing along
the wards applied the most Infallible of tests
to the cases, ir ner presence ua not smootn me
pain-wrinkles out of a man's face, or bring some
thing like tranquility to his drawn mouth, and cause
a lluBh of light to his eye, yoa were quite sure to
hear he was In an extremely bad way. Nor was it
with the wounded alone she seemed the animating
ppirit of the place, is urses, and doctors, ana con
valescents walking about ail addressed her with the
same cordial familiarity onlv tempered by their
evident reverence ami love, ine truin is, ana one
sees It everywhere else as in Darmstadt, this war
has not merely made Germany a nation, but a
famllv. and a thorough family feeling pervades
North and South, high and low, alike. Nothing
seems regarded as a sacrifice, and the humblest
work thut can serve the gr:at national cause Is
regarded as a pleasure and honor. The
theatre at Mayence Is given over to
preparations for the hospital service, and the ladles
of the place, old and young, go to work day and
nlL'ht In batches and in canes. In the coarsest ma
terials and roughest work. Here at Darmstadt no
i-niall portion or the pa ace is aevotea to tae name
purpose, and the work-rooms c'ommuuicate directly
with the princess' apartments. There are piles of
mattresses In the galleries, hills of blankets and
cushions below, chests of lint bundles or bandages,
mountains of cushions, sand-bags for absorbing
blood, wooden receptacles for shattered limbs.
There Is a continual influx and constant outflow of
all that. This sfternoon the princess' pha-ton bad
the back seat plied high with cushions wanted for
immediate use decently covered up, It Is true, with
a caniage rug, but there were so many of them that
the rug was sheer hypocrfsy and absurd Illusion. A
laire bundle of flannel seriously embarrassed the
couchman's legs and style, while it says much for the
paviLg of the Darmstadt streets thut all the teapots
Mowed away in the sword case beneath the ladies'
seat reached their destination in safety."
