NEW PUBLICATIONS. 
The Underground Railroad. By William 
Still. Philadelphia: Poster A Coates. 
This book, by a colored man, haa no ref- . 
erence to tbe quick transit problems in New 
York, but refers to the manner in which 
people escaped from slavery before the re¬ 
bellion. It is a valuable and interesting 
record of facta, authentic narratives, let¬ 
ters, etc., narrating the hardships, hair¬ 
breadth escapes, and death struggles of tho ' 
slaves in their efforts to reach the North. 
Tile book haa 70 illustrations, aud makes a ‘ 
largo volume of nearly 800 pages. It will 
alwavs be a work of deep interest to colored f 
people, while in a few years white folks will 
look ut it, wondering if it was possible for * 
such things to take place in this country. 
The book is sold by subscription only. As 1 
the work of a colored man it will attract 
attention. It fully explains the workings 
of the Underground Railroad. 
Ancient America.— By John D. BALDWIN, A. M. ’ 
.New York: Harper & Ufus. 
One of those intensely interesting vol- ] 
umes which gives us glimpses of pre-his- 
torio times, so far as relates to this country. 
The book is profusely illust rated with pic¬ 
tures of the works of the mound builders in 
the West, ruius in Mexico, aud other illus¬ 
trations. The pictures are from original 
drawings, and tho book gives a summary of 
lvbat is known of American antiquities. 
Tho author has spared no pains to exhaust 
all sources of information in preparing this 
work, consulting many English, German, 
and Spanish works. All who would become 
familiar with the remains of that other civ¬ 
ilization which mine nourished in this coun¬ 
try, will bo glad to possess a copy of An¬ 
cient America. 
The Labor Question. -Thoughts on Paper Cur¬ 
rency ami Lending uu Interest., as Affecting tho 
Prosperity of Labor. Commoreo ami Manufac¬ 
tures. fly William Brown. Philadelphia: J. B. 
Lipplncott A Co. 
Mb. Brown is a Canadian writer, who 
has spent twenty years investigating this 
subject, fie writes in an earnest, favorable 
manner, and says many good things. Ho is 
utterly opposed to paper money, and shows 
how tho issuing of bank notes robs tho 
people, oppresses the poor, enriches tho 
few, deranges commerce, etc. All working¬ 
men should read this hook, as well as states¬ 
men, and those who have t he good of the 
people at heart. A large number of ques¬ 
tions are discussed, all of which are of in¬ 
terest to the laboring classes. The book 
makes a volume of ?J4() pages. 
MartinCbnzzlewit. Charles Dickens. House¬ 
hold Edition. New York: Harper & Brothers. 
We have seen nothing handsomer in the 
shape of hooks than this household edition 
of Dickens’ works. The pages are double- 
columned, with new und handsome type, 
printed on line, calendered paper, and pro¬ 
fusely illustrated. This edition of Martin 
Chuzzlewlt has fifty-nine illustrations, 
many of which are full page. For clear 
reading and convenience of handling wc 
know of no bettor form than this “ House¬ 
hold Edition.”_ 
The Thief iu the Night.— By HARRIET PRESCOTT 
Brort'ottu. Boston: Roberts Brothers. 
A short but exciting story of two men 
who loved one woman, and the conse-, 
quences. Mrs. Spofford is a fluent, dram¬ 
atic writer, who knows well howto keep up 
the readers interest In a story. This book 
could only have been written by a woman; 
it contains ideas peculiar to tho female. It 
is beautiful to read—fresh, and full of trop¬ 
ical life, sunshine, and flowers. 
Notes, Explanatory an«l Practical, on the 
Second Kpistlu to the Corinthians, and the Epistle 
to the G.ilattuns. By ALBERT Barxes. New 
York : Harper & Brothers. 
A revised edition of a well-known work 
to which it is only necessary to call atten¬ 
tion. Probably we shall never have any 
better work of its kind. The volume is a 
handy, compact one, of 367 pages.

The Lovela of Arden. By M. E.Braddon. New 
York ; Harper & Brothers. 
This is select novel No. 369. Novel read¬ 
ers are familiar with Miss BraddON’S sen¬ 
sational style. The work is of usual inter¬ 
est, being an English love story, which in¬ 
troduces artists, pretty women, men of ab¬ 
normal wealth, etc.
