NEW BOOK BY MRS. H. M. STANLEY. r. London Street Arabs." Messrs. Cassell and Co. have just issued a book, with illustrations, written and drawn by Mrs. H. M. Stanley (Dorothy Tennant), the title of the work being 11 London Street Arabs." If the Central African has found his Homer in Henry Morton Stanley, the London ragamuffin can boost of hnving his champion both with pen and pencil in Dorothy Tennant. The fair bride who was the cynosure of all eyes at Westminster one bright summer day not very long since has made her first public appearance under her new character in a very graceful fashion. Her works are not strange to us they have often won a smile or, pet haps, evoked a sigh from the walls of our picture galleries, but when they are marshalled in one regiment, is it were, the critic can appreciate them better than when scattered here and there in single file. They are certainly well worth collect- ing, for they constitute a wonderfully vivid and lifelike gallery of one very picturesque phase of lour Metropolitan life. It is a varied one, too, as any student of Mrs. Stanley's volume will readily acknowledge, even if he hus not had eyes enough to discover it himself in City lanes and streets. Mrs. Stanley's Arab3 are by no means all tragic, though some are pathetic enough to move the hardest heart. The overflowing child-life that will not be altogether repressed even by the most depressing surroundings, but breaks out ever and anon in sparkling fun and mischief in spite of poverty and hunger and cold, finds as vivid a representation in these fascinating pages as the hollow-eyed little street musician, with his violin behind him looking hungrily in at the cookshop window or the faint- ing child carried into the penny dinner-room. Mrs. Stanley, in her animated introduction, tells us what we can easily believe, that there has always been a strange affinity between her and the London gamin. Her first serious attempt at drawing was a set of scenes in Seven Dials, and she entreated in vain to be taken there for her morning walk. The next effort was in illustration of the life of Jack Sheppara, and she very easily made up her mind to be the champion painter of the poor. Champion of the street Arab she has certainly constituted herself, and in that capacity she sets forth his joys as well as his sorrows. When site- first took up the sub- ject in earnest it struck her that the conventional treatment was false and one-sided. Murillo's beggar boys seem to have constituted her ideal, but she could not find the modern Murillo. She has certninly caught something of his spirit her- self in that capital sketch of a game at blindman's buff, in which the figure of the flying girl in front is instinct with life and animation. The two boys playing wheelbarrow, again, is a veritable scene from life,while the petticoated little ones peeping through the street grating are wonderfully natural One can see such little naked toes turned up any day, and such mischievous little arms thrust through any ordinary grating. The girl enjoying her improvised swing round the lump-post is another capital figure, and the group dancing to the barrel organ is a genuine bit of London life. The juvenile acrobats piled one over the other; the tiny mite carried honeypot fashion; the urchin balancing on the ledge ot the roof—all show the merry side of gutter existence. The last-named figure exhibits Mrs. Stanley's power of figure drawing. You can see the boy balancing himself with outstretched arms as he runs. There is a similar effect produced in the group on the bridge scat, though here the picture is larger and more varied, showing the shadowy side; that side is very forcibly shown in another scene from the life of the little violinist referred to above. He is sitting on a little bed, with the violin by his side, clasping his sickly little sister in his arms. There are some pathetic scenes from Arab life of larger growth, too-one of a flower seller in the drenching rain, with her children clinging to her skirts, and another telling volumes of distress in the bowed heid of the mau out of work. Why go to Vienna when we have such pictures at home, asks Mrs. Stanley ? What everlasting laurels a really great artist might earn for him- self merely by painting London And she is kind enough to tell him how to do ao. Her recipe is to walk about back streets and alleys towards sunset, look at the street fountains, saunter along the Embankment, and go into St. James's Park. But it is to be feared that unless our fair artist can also provide the seeker with her quick, sympathetic insight and marvellous sleight-of-hand at catching just the most dramatic pose of the mud-crowned urchin the result will be less satis- factory than now. Very interesting are the artist's tales of how she caught and kept her models. She wore out her piano in their service, even under- taking to teach an aspirant "God Save the Queen," though she would not admit afterwards that the piano could piny any other tune. One boy, hear- ing she wanted a sweep for a model, valiantly climbed the chimney, improving the Persian rug in his descent. A girl described love as going errands; a boy's idea of a gentlemsin was a watch and chain. One boy thought it well to have nothing, because you hadn't anything on your mind. One chosen specimen was so proud of standing on his head that he declared that he preferred that posi- tion. A likeness of the fair author-artist herself adorns the volume, but hardly does her justice. The book is elegantly got up,but it is a pity that not the slightest attempt is made at naming or dis- tinguishing the pictures, especially as many of them had names originally when exhibited. But the volume will receive a hearty welcome, and it does credit to Mrs. Stanley's hand and heart.

Chester, March 5, 1888, 11 Dear Sirs,—I suffered from rheumatic pains in my arms and legs for over five years. I also had a bruised shin-bone, through which I could rest only for a few minutes at a time. All sorts of remedies were applied, but none did any good for more than a few days. I was recommended to try did, and on taking the firstbottle I felt relief. I wsu told that eleven bottles would effect a perfect cure. I only took nine bottles and a half, which cost me 2s. 6d. peT. j^jg'now ten months since, and 1 have not felt th« least pain-in fact, I am perfect in my walk, and am is as good health asever I was in my life. Moreover, I told two friends of mine who were laid up with rheumatic pains of my cure, and they tried your Clarke's Blood Mixture, Tlicy are tailors by trade, and in seven days they were at work again, and they sav it cannot be too highly praised,—Hoping I am net in^ntrtiri".
