THE DAILY EVENING, TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, -WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1871. Till: FEim' AHY MAGAZINES. "OLD AND NKW. Old and New for February has the follow ing table of contents: "Old and New;" Tink and White Tyranny," chap, xv., Mrs. II. Jl. Stowe; "Porter Ham phreys Harding," John A. Hallos; ".Raphael's Haint Cecilia," T. Davidson; "Frotoplasm Again," J. Elliott Cabot; "A Lady's Journey in Syria;" "Optimism," C. Palfrey; "Transla tions," 8. K.

Urigham; "Letter from Governor Andrew;" "The Exa miner;" "Record of Progress." From Mr. Warner's "Sorrento Tapers" we quote the following: Sea and air and land here are all kin, I Mispect, and have certain immaterial qualities in common. The contours of the shores and the outlines of the hills are as graceful as the mobile waves; and if there is anywhere ruggedness and sharpness, the atmosphere throws a friendly veil over it, and tones all that is inharmonious into the repose of beauty. The atmosphere is really something more than a medium; it is a drapery, woven, one could affirm, with colors, or dipped in Oriental djes. One might account thus for the prismatic colors I have often seen on the horizon at noon, when the sun was pouring down floods of clear, golden light. The simple light here, if one could ever represent it by pen, pencil, or brush, would draw the world hither to bathe in it. It is not thin moonshine, but a royal profusion, a golden substance, a transforming quality, a vesture ,of splendor for all these Mediterranean shores. The most comprehensive idea of Sorrento and the great plain on which it stands, em bedded almost out of sight in foliage, we ob tained one day from our boat, as we put out round the Capo di Sorrento, and stood away for Cnpri. There was not wind enough for Kails; but there were chopping waves and swell enough to toss us about, and to produce bright flashes of light far out at sea. The red-shirted rowers silently bent to their long sweeps; and Hay in the tossing bow, and studied the high, receding shere. The pic ture is simple a precipice of rook or earth, faced with masonry in spots, almost of uni form height from point to point of the little bay, except where a deep gorge has split the rock, and comes to the sea, forming a cove, where a cluster of rude buildings is likely to gather. Along the precipice, which now juts and now recedes a little, are villas, hotels, old convents, gardens, and groves. I can see steps and galleries cut in the face of the cliff, and caves and caverns, natural and arti ficial: for one can cut this tufa with a knife; and it would hardly seem preposterous to at tempt to dig out a cool, roomy mansion in this rocky front with a spade. As we pull away I begin to see the depth of the plain of Sorrento, with its villages, walled roads, its groves of oranges, olives, lemons, its figs, pomegranates, almonds, mulberries, and acacias; and soon the terraces above, where the vineyards are planted, and the olives also. These terraces must be a brave sight in spring, when the masses of olives are white as snow with blossoms, which fill all the plain with their sweet perfume. Above the terraces the eye reaches the fine outline of the hill; and, to the east, the bare preeipioe of rock, softened by the purple light; and turning still to the left, as the boat lazily swings, I have Vesuvius, the graceful dip into the plain, and the rise to the heights of Naples, Nisida, the shining houses of Pozzuoli, Cape Misenum, Frocida, and rough Ischia. ltounding the headland, Capri is before us, so sharp and clear that we seem close to it; bnt it is a weary pull before we get under its rocky side. Keturning from Uaprilate in tne at ternooa, we bad one of those effects which are the despair of artists. I had been told that twi lights are 6hort here, and that, when the sun disappeared, color vanished from the sky. There was a wonderful light on all the inner bay, as we put off from shore. Ischia was one mass of violet color. As we got from under the island, there was the sun, a red ball of fire, just dipping into the sea. At once the whole horizon line of water became a bright crimson, which deepened as the evening advanoed, glowing with more intense fire, and holding a bread band of what seemed solid color, for4more than three quarters of an hour. The colors, meantime, on the level water, never were on painter's palette, and never were counterfeited by the changeable silks of Eastern looms; and this gorgeous spectacle continued till the stars came out, crowding the sky with silver points. The February number of Leisure Hours, published by J. Trainor King, No. 01 Ches nut street, contains portraits and biographi cal sketches of Hon. W. A. Wallace, Speaker of the State Senate, and Hon. James H. Webb, Speaker of the State House of Repre sentatives, with a variety of interesting stories, essays, and poetry, prominent among which is the first instalment of a story enti tled "Adrien St. Armand," by Mrs. Martha Lafitte Johnson, which is above the average in merit. The story is well written and highly interesting, and it proves Mrs. John son to be a writer of marked ability, who will undoubtedly make her mark. It is no easy matter to write a good short story, and to suc ceed in this, one of the most difficult walks of literature, as Mrs. Johnson has done, cer tainly gives us reason to expect some good work from her pen in the future in the same line. Leisure Hour is conducted with much ability as a popular magazine, and we are pleased to see that it is steadily gaining upon the favor of the public It is published at the unusually low price of $2, and is well worth that amount for the biographical sketches of prominent public men which ap pear in it every month. Tlie renn Monthly for February contains several able articles, among which those enti tled "Spain and Protection," by Charles A. Eggert, and "Modern Music," by J. Q. It., aie especially worthy of attention. From J. B. Lippincott & Co. we have received The Sunday Magazine, Good Words, and Good Words for the Young, for Febru ary, all of which are finely illustrated, and are filled with excellent artioles by some of the best English writers of the day. VanNottraniVt Eclectic Engineering Mag. atint for February contains a aeries of valu able articles selected from the best European engineering publications.

City Affair Last evening a meeting of colored sol diers and sailors was held at Liberty Hall, Lombard street, below Seventh, to receive the reports of committees appointed at a pre vious one looking to the annual celebration of the fifteenth amendment. The reports were received, but no definite action was taken. Last evening, between 8 and 9 o'clock, there was an explosion of three barrels of benzine in the yard attached to the store and dwelling No. lii!)4 ltidge avenue, occupied by Peter Hartenstein. The house was set on fire and burned the back portion of it to the third story, and the furniture and other effects of the occupant suffered by water. His loss is about $400. The damage to the building will reach $500. The explosion is believed to have been the work of design. In attempting to extinguish the flames Mr. Hartenstein had his hands burned. At a meeting of the Public Buildingi Commission, held yesterday, bids for the erection of a board fence around Penn Square were opened, and on motion, re ferred to the Committee on Contracts, and, after pome further business, including the submitting of certain original plans for the public buildings by Mr. J. L. Husband, the boaid adjourned. A meeting of the representatives of the Tiesbyterian Alliance was held last evening at the church Broad street, above Chosnut, at which the munificent gift of Professor S min ders was accepted. The gift consists of the in stitute building, now occupied for educa tional purposes, and valued at $00,000, which the professor donates to the Alliance for the use of a Presbyterian hospital. The building is admirably adapted for this purpose, the school-rooms and dormitories being arranged in such a manner as to render them oomplete for hospital use without altertion. The Alliance accepted the gift upon the stipulated conditions of the donor, which are that to Professor Saunders and his wife the sum f $'.'000 annually be given each during their lifetime, and in case of the death of one of them the sum aforesaid is to be given to the survivor until his or her death. The building has an incumbrance of $40,000, which the professer proposes to liquidate. The gift is a most generous one, and will im mortalize the name of Saunders. Mr. Tryon lleakirt, the junior partner of the firm of John lleakirt & Son, wholesale druggists, has been committing a series of forgeiies to the amount of $100,000. As far as has been discovered the forgeries are con fined to the names of prominent wholesale druggists, and they consist of notes purport ing to be drawn by them. One of them is in the name of Ilussell & Landis, No. 5 North Fifth street, and another is on O. S. Janney & Co., No. 41 South Front street. The inves tigation thus far has been confined to a very few banks, among them the Commercial, Commonwealth, and Tradesmen's banks, and Bank of Commerce. The discovery of the fraudulent transactions was made by a bank clerk as follows: A note for $7000, emanat ing apparently from Ilussell & Landis, was deposited in a certain bank, and it was after wards discovered that instead of the date being 1871 it was 1870. The firm was notified of the fact, when the bank clerk was informed that they had no such note out. Mr. lleakirt was sent for, and he made good the deficit and the transaction was covered up at the time, but subsequently the whole affair was exposed. Domestic Affairs. The locomotive works of Smith Porter, in South Pittsburg, were burned yesterday morning, . and twelve locomotives were de stroyed. Ireetrada resolutions were discussed in the Ohio Senate yesterday, and, after being modified bo as to favor a moderate tariff, were adopted. The Hoard of Trade or Heading, Pa., have appointed a committee to confer with other bodies who are inconvenienced and in jured by the strikes of the coal miners. in tne case or tne uamd en election rioters, the United States Court, sitting at Trenton, has adjourned until the 15th instant, when counsel will argue the constitutionality of the act under whicn one of them, bouders, was last week convicted. A colored man named Robinson, residing near Lockland, Ohio, becoming infuriated on Monday night, fired promiscuously into a congregation as it was retiring from church, and wounded several persons. After much difficulty he was taken into custody. Foreign Affair. The bombardment of Belfort is still going on. The Paris decree of the 29 th of January is maintained. Mrch anarchy is beginning to be deve loped among the French people, and this is especially the case in Paris. The' Prefect of Lyons on Monday re viewed a corps of 10,000 troops, all of whom were from Alsace and Lorraine. The German officials in France have been ordered to abstain from a strict censorship of the press while the elections are pro gressing. Members of the Government who arrived at Bordeaux from Paris telegraphed to the prefects of all the departments, on Monday night, a decree annulling the Bordeaux de crees of the 31st of January relative to elec toral disqualifications as incompatible with the principles of universal sun rage. OUTRAGE IN A SCHOOL. A Mttlo Boy Cruelly Whipped for lavoluntary l.an hloK A Dotheboya Hall la Penusyl. vaata-1 .from the Boston Express. A voune lad seed about fourteen years, son of Mr. Solomon Derr, residing on Washington street, West ward, was shamefully beaten by bis teacher yester day in the West Ward Secondary School. The boy for several jears past baa been aitllcted with SU Vitus' dance, and at times would laugh quite heartily without an; apparent cause. Just before the clone of school yesterday after noon, the boy bad one of these spells, and not having the power to atop when ordered to de so by his teacher, wai rudely Belted by the breast of bis coat, unmercifully beaten with a hlclory stick, and then taken to the bead of the stairs outside the building, where he was allowed to remain iu the cold while tie teacher uiifeelinsiT went home, borne of the little fellow s comrades tried to carry the boy to bis home, as he was unable to walk ; but net being able to do so, Mr. Derr, the father, was noticed, aud when he arrived at the school-house, the child was found nearly frozen, his arms rigidly folded, wan nut neaa rest In? nu n them. our reporter this morning noticed on the child body tlie flnger-uiarks of the brute where he grasped htm, aud long black stripes over the back, caused by tlie lilckorv nic k.
