MRS. ARTHUR H. NOYES, who was better known under the name of "Toler King," and who is said to have written two volumes in the No Name Series, died at Grand Forks, Dak., on June 10.

ward opened a publishing and bookselling business in that city, but not meeting with success, he accepted an appointment on the editorial staff of Mr. Bryant's paper, the Evening Post. Subsequently, in 1859, at the instance of Mr. Wash-political editorials for the Boston Transcript. ington Irving, he was elected by the trustees of the Astor Library, as an assistant-librarian, and in 1876 he was put in general charge of the institution as librarian, which position he still holds. Mr. Saunders has been a frequent contributor to the periodical literature of New York, having written for the Knickerbocker, the Democratic Review, the New York Quartely, etc. He is the author of the following works: (1) "Memories of the Great Metropolis," (2) " New York in a Nutshell." (3) "Salad for the Solitary" (1855), of which some five thousand copies were sold in the month of the publication. (4) Salad for the Social" (in 1856), which work was highly commended by the British Quarterly Review. In 1858 Mr. Saunders issued a small quaint collection of gems, entitled "Pearls of Thought," and the following year he produced another volume of literary essays, entitled "Mosaics." During the years 1868-72 Mr. Saunders published a beautifully illustrated quarto volume, entitled "Festival of Song," a series of evenings with the lyric and epic singers; the illustrations were regarded as in advance of the art productions of that day. Two other works will complete the list of his productions-one entitled "About Woman, Love, and Marriage," and the other, "Evenings with the Sacred Poets," of which a sixth and enlarged edition has recently appeared. This work, like "Salad for the Solitary," may be said to have secured for itself a permanent place in our contemporary literature. Mr. Saunders's last volume-the fruitage of his autumn hours-is entitled "Pastime Papers,' which has been published quite recently by

Thomas Whittaker.

OBITUARY.

EDWIN PERCY WHIPPLE.

EDWIN PERCY WHIPPLE, known throughout the world as critic, essayist, and lecturer, died in Boston on June 17 at the age of sixty-seven. He was born in Gloucester, Mass., on March 18, 1819. At the age of fourteen he became contributor to a Salem paper, in which town he attended the English high school. At fifteen he went to work in a Salem bank and also became librarian of Salem Athenæum. In 1837 he went to Boston to become clerk in a broker's office, and was soon after appointed Superintendent of the Merchants' Exchange news-room.

In 1843 he published an essay on Macaulay in the Boston Miscellany which attracted much attention, coming from the pen of a young man of twenty-four, and brought him the reward of an appreciative letter from the brilliant historian himself. About this time he began his career as lecturer, first reading a poem satirizing the follies of the day, and soon after going through all the large cities of New England reading his lecture on the "Lives of Authors. In 1850 he was selected as the 4th of July orator for Boston, and gave his afterward famous lecture on "Washington and the Principles of the American Revolution." In 1859 he gave a course of twelve lectures at Lowell Institute on the Literature of the Age of Elizabeth. In 1860 Mr. Whipple gave up his position and devoted him

MOSES A. Dow, the founder and proprietor Mass., June 22. He was born at Littleton, N. H., of the Waverley Magazine, died in Charlestown, on May 25, 1810. He established the Waverley Magazine under the most discouraging circumstances, but he persevered, and lived to draw an annual income, it is said, of $150,000.

NOTES ON AUTHORS.

MR. WILFRED WARD is about to publish a volume entitled "The Clothes of Religion," a reply to Popular Positivism," and has obtained an indorsement for it, in advance, by Cardinal Newman.

MR. ALEXANDER IRELAND, author of "The Book-Lover's Enchiridion," Bibliographical and Critical List of the Works of William Haz

litt and Leigh Hunt," etc., is preparing a selection from the voluminous writings of Hazlitt and Hunt. The works of both deserve to be better known than they are to the present generation of readers.

THE botanist, Prof. Arnold Dodel-Port, of Zürich, has written a biography in two volumes of Conrad Deubler, the Austrian peasant philosopher," who died in 1884. Deubler first came into public notice in 1853, says the Evening Post, when a Vienna paper made it known that there lived near Ischl a peasant, who corresponded with Zschokke, David Strauss, and other free-thinkers. The result was that the Archduchess Sophie, whose favorite summer resort Ischl was, called on that peasant to see whether he was really as dangerous to the State' as painted. She found her worst suspicions confirmed, 'even Shakspeare's works being in his library. In consequence of this discovery, Deubler was arrested and for spreading irreligious works' sentenced to two years' imprisonment. After serving his sentence, Deubler returned to his home and soon entered into correspondence with many of the most prominent thinkers of the day, Feuerbach and Häckel being among his particular friends. Strauss's Life of Jesus' was directly inspired by Deubler's wish for a popular work on the subject. In spite of the originality of his mind, Deubler remained a peasant in his ways of expression as well as in his mode of life. He never even learned to write orthographically, and his diary' has on that account a quaint mediæval flavor."

BUSINESS NOTES.

BALTIMORE, MD.—We learn that a meeting of the creditors of J. W. Bond & Co., booksellers and stationers, has been called.

BUFFALO, N. Y.-The bookstore and stock of H. H. Otis was damaged by fire and water on June 15, during the progress of a fire in an adjoining building.

like the game of authors. It presents one hundred of the principal mythological characters arranged in "books" according to natural classification. It is handsomely printed in colors, and the cards are of good size and substantial.

Knox, of Lafayette College, are enjoying a novel trip on the Pennsylvania Canal. A canal boat was fitted up for them in such a way as to rob it of much of its uncouth appearance, and, with a cook and several servants, they started a week ago to make the journey from Bristol to Mauch Chunk. The trip will last three weeks.

A SMALL party of ladies and gentlemen, including Robert W. De Forrest and wife; Louis Tiffany, the artist, and wife; Henry Holt, the CLEVELAND, O.-On June 1 the firm of Bur-publisher, and Miss Knox, daughter of Prof. rows Brothers & Co. became an incorporation with the title of "The Burrows Brothers Company." The incorporators are the three members of the old firm (Messrs. Charles W. and Harris B. Burrows and Mr. E. L. Schinkel), together with Mr. Byron E. Helman (also of the lumber firm of Allyn, Young & Co., of Cleveland, and well known in educational circles throughout Ohio) and Mr. Joseph W. Burrows, for many years connected with the old firm. All become active working members of the new concern. In addition, Messrs. J. M. Goldstein. Wm. E. Ward, and J. J. McWilliams, old and valued employés, take stock and become directly identified with the welfare of the company. With abundant capital, increased working force, and a determination to watch their customers' interests in the same careful and energetic manner that has assisted the rapid growth of their business in the past, they trust to merit in an even greater degree the earnest attention of all, both buyers and sellers.

CUTHBERT, GA.-E. S. Parks has retired from the management of the book business of the

estate of Thomas Powell.

FAIRBURY, NEB.-J. C. Paxton, bookseller, has sold out.

LEAVENWORTH, KAN.-Crew & Hewett, book sellers and stationers, have dissolved partnership.

NEW ORLEANS, LA. It is reported that H. Billard, dealer in French books and stationery, is asking an extension.

NEW YORK CITY.-The New York Manifold Book Company has been incorporated by James L. O'Connor, L. Wesley Frost, and Albert H. Jocelyn.

PARIS, TEX.-Troy and Ragland, booksellers, have sold out.

FUNK & WAGNALLS have in press, for early publication, " The Life of Schuyler Colfax," by J. O. Hollister, a member of the Colfax family. The biography has been prepared with the approval and the assistance of Mrs. Colfax. It is written in a terse, animated style, and gives a graphic_account of the scenes and events in which Colfax figured, as well as a just and appreciative estimate of the man himself. The book will be a large octavo, and will have for frontispiece a steel portrait of Mr. Colfax. It is to be sold by subscription.

MILTON BRADLEY & Co. have two new games to be used in kindergartens for children, as well as for parlor amusement. "The Wordmaking Tablets" are one-inch square letters mounted on card-board that are to be put together to make words, which are afterward placed in sentences; "The Primary Language Tablets" are large and thick, so that they can easily be laid on the desk without any guide to hold them. They consist of a quantity of familiar words of which the children are to form sentences about their work and play. The same box also contains a little extra box of letters, so that a needed word may be shaped to complete a sentence. These are cut small so the words may correspond with those already made on the tablets. These letters and words will be found a useful addition to the primary school-room..

"

BLACKWOOD & SONS have three new novels in press: 'A House Divided against Itself," by Mrs. Oliphant ; A Strange Inheritance," by F. M. F. Skene; and "Lesterre Durant," by the author of "Miss Molly."

MR. A. GARDNER, of Paisley, will shortly publish "Some Personal Reminiscences of Carlyle," by Mr. A. J. Symington, who for many years enjoyed the close friendship of Carlyle. The book will attempt to place Carlyle's life before the public in a more favorable light than some of the biographie have done.

GRIFFITH, FARRAN, OKEDEN & WELSH announce that they are preparing a Biographical Dictionary, giving a short but succinct account of all persons who have been connected with the discovery, exploration, and development, physical, social, political, and commercial, of the Colonies of Australia and New Zealand.
