Pittsburgh.
Since Russian America was ceded to
the United States, everythiug calculated
to throw light upi)n our new possessions
has been read with avidity. People are
very naturally anxious to know the char
' acteristics of that far off land. The pub
lication of this Work of travel and adven
ture is opportune, and will fill a want
long existing. A considerable portion of
the book is devoted to an acc)unt of a
journey made in the Yukolt region.
Remiriiscences are also given of men and
things in British Columbia and Van
couver Island. Rrief trips are described,
to the eastern coasts of Siberia and Kama
chalks. The description of Alaska
territory and its Capital, and other things
relating to its purchase, are full of inter
est, and will afford persons a pretty
good estimate , of its • resources. Such a
disinterested'account of this new country
is furnished that it cannot fail to find fa
vor among the thoughtful.- Much of the
,
narrative is journal form, and the
epi
sodes interspersed throughout the, book
tend to give additional charm to the
work. The maps and ° Illustrations are
valuable as well as instructive. The atr
that- furnishes' sketches of great "value,
and his style is free and fiovving. The
work is admirably pristi - d. '

Household Edition. Published by
Fields, Osgood & Co., .11 eton. For sale
by Henry Miner Pittsburgh.
We took occasion when the first two
volumes of the "Household Edition" was
issued to speak favorably of the tasteful
manner in which it had been printed and
bound, and at such a low price. Unsually
publishers are tardy in, publishing a se
ries of volumes; but thishousehasshown
the extraordinary resources they have at
command by their actiyity in. publishing
succeeding volumes. The excellent qual
ities will bear repetition, namely: printed
on white paper, - clear type, double col
umns,•and bound in green muslin, with
the name of the author traced in gold on
one page of the'cover. The ability of
Mr. Heade, as'a Writer of fiction, is gen
erally conceded "Griffith Gauat," when
first published, caused quite a sensation,
and "White Lies" is alsb held in high
esteem by the
.admirers of this talented

orally.
This work, like those usually issued by
• this excellent publishing house, is'a story
with an excellent high-pm:Led moral, in
which the history of two cousins are
traced from childhood to mature years.
Both were thrown upon their own re
sources in London, and both occupied po
sitions in a hank. They, however, chose
divergent pathways. One early became
a Christian and rose, rapidly to power and
usefulness, ivhile the other sought happi-
Bess In evil pursuits and associations, and
died a complete wreck, but was finally
saved by grace at the dying hour. Ifis a
;story of touching interest.
THE CHAPLET or PEARLS; OT, The White

of "The Heir of Redclyffe." With illus

- "Co., New York. • .
The popularity of the authoress, Miss
Yonge, is sufficient to awaken high ex
pectations from her numerous admirers,
• • Without any special. , commendatien from
us. Her previous works have won her a
fine, reputation, and, not because they are
of the sensational order, but for her sen
' sible - views, and sprightliness as, a writer. '
Portions of this work appeared in serial
form, and has been extensively read. It
is of that class of bonks that embodies a"
thread of Ildstory, which is both instruc
tive and entertaining, and forms one of
the adtnimble series of APpleton's Illus
trated Library of Romance. The story
covers an interesting period in - hiatory,
and is one of thrilling incident.

rho simple fact that these letters are re
• published as models of epistolary corres
pondence, though written so many years
ago, indicates their superiority and
worth. This lady lived and wrote in the
first hal; of the eighteenth century, when
our land was under. British rule. Soci
etys Customs and manners of the old Eng

gtlage 'and with a master hand. Her
edurimon'sense views, clear style of writ
ing, will command admiration. Alto
gether the collection Is a choice one, and
will be highly appreciated by thousands.
Tlie work is admirably hrought out.
