D Roman Catholic Bishop of -i Sa , vannah, by Miss Virginia Caldwell, of" 8tatesville, North sCartlina, the accomplished sister of the editor of the Landmark. The ' original was first 6ent ' to Miss . Fanuie Fisher (Christian Reid) who, finding her lit erary engagements made it impossi ble for her to do the work, sent it to Miss Cald well. The volume is neatly bound and is highly prized by Catho-1 lies. Mrs. - Senator , Vance, who i good authority in such 1 matters, tells ' me it is a remarkably l fine transla-' tion. The style is strong and chaste. and f fter reading it carefully, Mrs Vance and I - both concluded that Miss Caldwell had- been peculiarly happy in her rendition of the French idiomc. ; The work is highly credita ble to the North Carolina lady , who did it, and I hope she ,will find as much similar employment as she wants, as wea lor her own sake as for the State on .- which she reflects credit.
