ÖERliAJr TTinTEBeillES : a narrative oL personal experience, by James Morgan Hart. New York : G. P. Putnan's Son. Mr. Hart in desonbing nis experiencea as a student in the Germán Uiiiversities, especially the Uniyersity oï Gottengen, has given us a book ot especial interest to studente and those contemplating a course of study in Gennany- a book very interesting and instruotive even to the general reader. He describes the organization of the Getman tlniveraity, its methods of instruotion, it discipline, and thatterrific ordeal for studenta, the final examination for a degree. He portrays the life of the Student, his habits, hia trials, hi funusements. The Mensvr and the Kneipe dueling and drinking- recreations not rare in the life of the Germán student- receiye special attention in the volume. It seems to us thftt the dueling whiah ia so common among the students of the Germán Uniyersitiea is far more honorable and not more dangerous than the " the miserable " rushing," "pumping," "smoking out"- which obtains in the American college. On the whole this is one of .the most iuteresting books published during the year; clearly written, without pretention, but full of maat. For sale by Jolm Moore.

The suspicion is that the sliooting was done by a couple of dranken follows from Tecumseh.
