_Under the Stars, and Other Verses_, is a small collection of ballads, relating chiefly to naval fights, by _Wallace Rice_ and _Barrett Eastman_, published by Way & Williams, Chicago. It is dedicated "to the wider patriotism," and appears well adapted to inflame the martial spirit, which is in this country already excited to an extremely unhealthy extent. PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED.
