The Story of Chief Joseph. By Martha Perry Lowe. (Lothrop,

Boston.)—Chief Joseph is, as was shown a few years ago in the North- American Review, an interesting Indian, and his story deserved pre- servation in prose and in such illustrations as this little volume con- tains. But Miss Lowe's verse—she says she has endeavoured to- preserve "the simple and direct style of the Indian—is so bald, that we are rather glad when we learn, on her authority, that,— " In-mut-too-yah-lab'at Has spoken for his race to-day. In-mut-too-yah-lat-lat,

Has finished what he had to say."
