Among the Cadists. By John Farley. (S. Tinsley.)—Mr. Farley did

good service under the Red Cross in the Franco-German war, and he went last year to the theatre of war in Spain, to see how he might help in the same cause. His experience was very curious, as was to be ex- pected. He says himself, "For those who know anything of Spain and the Spaniards, no state at which they arrive can be said to be anomalous." Of military events, the most important that he relates is the battle of Estella. He bears strong testimony to the soldier-like qualities of the Carlist troops, and the devotion of the population in the Carlist pro- vinces, and his belief in the winter of 1875 was that little change had been wrought in the aspect of affairs since the previous year.
