Scouts and Comrades ; or, Teemuseh, Chief of the Shawanocs.

By Edward S. Ellis. (Cassell and Co.)—This tale deals with the experiences of two young scouts, who enlist on the American side in the war of 1812. It is chiefly a story of adventure, but an element of pathos is supplied by the introduction of the remark- able man who furnishes it with its second title. The portrait cf Teemuseh, which reminds one of Fenimore Cooper's Indians, is by far the most interesting in the book.
