Kibboo Ganey. By Walter Wentworth. (T. Nelson and Sons.)— Kibbe°

Ganey is a typical story of adventure of the third-rate kind. The characters of the story, a Colonel who goes to Africa. to settle a disputed, geographical question, and two boys, cousins, who fall in with the usual adventures, are of the usual humdrum typo. The Colonel is staid, experienced, and fond of giving advice, and the boys, in a mild sort of way, are the reverse. It reminds us faintly, in its treatment, of Mr. Ballantyne's inferior productions, without their humour, their liveliness, or their naturalness. We can say no more of Kibbe° Ganey.
