It is reported that M^ry Anderson Navarro is engaged in wri.inj a novel which will soon appear. A number of extracts from an amusing Japanese " Life of General Grant " are given in the July Century The book was wnten and circulated soon after General Grant's tour around the world, but has become very rare. The author has the highest admiration for the soldier and statesman— this " Heaveo-bestowed wißfl man " — and he expresses it with true Orienial impressivenesg. He pictures General Grant at the head of his troops, "shooting* glittering light from the midst of his eyeball, lifting up bis sword, raising bis great voice like a peal of thunder." Tbe illustrations are characteristic. The '' Assassination of Lincoln "represents the martyred president struggling in the grasp of five men with upraised daggers.
