CURRENT LITERATURE.

Incidents of Indian Life. By the Rev. J. Cave-Browne. (W. H. Allen and Co.)—A retired Indian Chaplain here tells, and tells very well, some striking stories of the East. These are mostly episodes from Indian campaigns. None of them is better than the tale of how a youfig officer found out the depth of a ditch which protected a fort that was to be attacked. The account, too, of the services of the Rev. J. P. Harris, sole Chaplain at Locknow, after the death of his colleague, Mr. Polehampton, is well worth reading. But that may be said of the whole book.
