TIIfc DAILY iSVttmNG TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1871. LITERATURE. REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS. "Tbe Daughter of an Egyptian King," translated from tbe German of George Ebers, by Henry Reed, is an attempt to give a pic ture of Rociety at the centres of civilization five hundred years before the Christian era. The author is a disciple of Lepsius, whose expedition to Egypt he accompanied, and ha now holds the position of Director of the Museum at Jena. "The Daughter of an Egyptian King" describes the marriage of au Egyptian princess with the heir-apparent of the Tersian throne, and it introduces a vast number of descriptive details, for tbe pur pose of giving tho reader an idea of the char acteristics of the Greek, Egyptian, and Per sian civilizations. Tho story itself po3S03sos considerable interest, but its greatest value is in the antiquarian research which illustrates its pnges, and in the elaborate descriptions of the manners, customs, arts, sciences, etc, which are given not merely to dopict tho civilizations of Greece, Egypt, and Persia, but to show the diiTerenc.es that existed be tween them. Published by J. 13. Lippincott & Co. "Success and its Conditions" is the title of a series of essays by Sir. Edwin P. Whip ple, which have been collected from the Tftrions periodicals in which they have ap peared during the last twenty-five years. The essays are twelve in number, and the author has attempted in them to state the vital con ditions of success, briefly and pointedly, and with an avoidance of "the madness of ex tremes." Mr. Whipple is one of the most thoughtful and forcible essayists we havo, and the contents of this volume are well worthy of the attention of the young men of the country. Published by J. R. Osgood & Co. For sale in this city by Claxton, Remsen .I Haffelfinger. "Life and Death," by a writer who Bub 8cribes himself "Your Humble Servant," is a curious story which professes to give a picture of certain phases of New York life. There is some very pointed satire on Wall Btreet, the women's righters, and the general demoralization that exists in certain classes of society, and a plot of considerable inge nuity engages the attention of the reader from first to last. "Life and Death" appears to be the work of either an inexperienced or a very careless writer, and it is disfigured by numerous inelegancies and extravaganoes. Notwithstanding these, however, it is a story of real power, and will repay a perusal. Published by Carle ton, and for sale in this city by Porter & Coates. From T. Eilwood Zell we havo received tbe first number of "Zell's Descriptive Hand Atlas of the World," by J. Bartholomew. This work proposes to furnish the public with a cheap, elegant, and accurate atlas which will contain all the latest improvements. The maps in the number before us are handsomely engraved, and by a syBtem of indexing, which is beautifully simple, those nsing the atlas will bo able to find any place they may desire without any difficulty. This is a very impor tant feature, which will of itself commend this atlas to the public. This atlas is designed as a supplement or companion to "Zell's Popular Encyclopedia," and it will be completed in twenty-five numbers, at fifty cents a number. Ia case the number of parts exceed twenty-five, the extra ones will be furnished subscribers gratis. "The Fight at Dame Europa's School," published by Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger, is a reprint of a lively piece of satire- that created considerable sensation in England a few months ego. The writer ia evidently a Tory among the Tories, and his object is to reflect upon the English boy who did not in terfere at the proper moment to put a stop to the fight. "Harry Lorrequer" is the third volume of the cheap edition of Charles Lever's works now being issued by T. B. Peterson & Brothers. This is a lively, dashing novel that will bear many perusals without growing tiresome. The fourteenth number of Vincent'a "History of Delaware," which has been issued by Mr. John Campbell, continues the Btory of the contests between the Dutch and Eng lish for possession of the territory upon the Delaware river. The Chicago Bureau for April contains several valuable essays upon protection and free trade, and a variety of statistical and other information.

Connelly; "Editor's Easy Chair;" "Editor's Literary Record;" "Editor's Scientific Record;" "Editor's His torical Record;" "Editor's Drawer." From "Bowery, Saturday Night," by W O. Stoddard, we take the following sketch of the Bowery in olden times: Let no unlettered rnntio win derision to himself by calling this great thoroughfare Bowery street, for it is "The Bowery," and nothing "more. In the good old days when the memory of Hendrick Hudson and due reverence for "their High Mightinesses" of Amsterdam had not yet departed from Man a-batta. stout-hearted and hard-headed old Governor Peter Stuy vesant had his Bowwerie, or country seat, out this way, and the high way thereto, out of proper respect, derived its imperishable name therefrom. In some of tho earlier maps, to be sure, prepared by presumptuous Yankees or usurp ing Jinglishmen, the uovernors drive is do graded to ' the hign-road to uoston, as n New Yorkers cared what settlements bordered on their highway after it had departed from the incomparable island. In the maps of 17i a belter spirit is manifested by the super scription "Bowery Lane;" and in 1S0G it was noted as the "Bowery Road," connecting near what is now Union Square with the "Bloom ingdale Road," and continuing its career higher up as the "road to Boston." On most of the later maps there is no attempt to add useless appendages to the simple and sufficient those ancient and excellent days of pas toral simplicity, on the left, as you went north from Chatham Square, lay the estate of the Le Lanceys, and above them the broad lands of Dyckman and Brevoort, while on the right the old records give us the historic names of Rutgers, Bayard, Minthorne, Van Cortlandt, and others; and beyond and exceeding these were the Bouwerie and other possessions of the Stuyvesants, who have left more traces of their ownersnip and ocoupancy than all others put together partly because the family yet retain much of the property, but more because of the bad temper of the old Governor, and the preposterously long life of the "Stuyve sant pear-tree," at the corner of Thirteenth street. There can be little room for doubt in the mind of any devout antiquarian but that the spirits of the sturdy old burgomasters of Nieuw Amsterdam continue to tntelize their old haunts, and have exercised a material in fluence in determining the character and nationality of their successors; nor would it be altogether difficult at the present day to find, on some pleasant summer evening, ait ting with his "vrauw" or gossip iu front of some Bowery halle or garten, the modern representative of "Hard Koppig Peter" and his bellicose neighbors. Solid and sturdy men were they sturdy and solid men are these good and honest citizens, and as eager for news of fatherland and the stirring deeds of "unser Fritz" as were their prototypes for the slow-coming tales of the prowess of Van Tromp and De Ruyter. Not even the news by telegraph and the street railways can deny to the properly-constituted mind the privi lege of recognizing the flavor of the old times in what we assume to be the new. "OPPINtlOTT'B." "Wild Ireland; or, Recollections of Some Days and Nights with Father Michael," part I, by B. Denbavand; "Charles Francis Adams;" "Moumou," a story, by Ivan Toorgenef; "The Jew's Faith, ' a poem, by Henry Abbey; "A WTestern Newspaper Enterprise, by Frederick Lockley; "Emanuel Sweden borg," by Lucretia Pontiff; "He, She, and It," a story, by Edgar Fawcett; "Student Rambles in Prussia," part II, by Stephen Powers; "What Shall We Drink r by John Bell, M.

Minor; "Reality," a poem, by Emma Lazarus; "Our Monthly Gossip;" "Literature of the Day;" "Serial Supplement," "Rookstone," by Katherine S. Macquoid, part II. From Mr. Stephen Powers' "Student Ram bles in Prussia" we take the following: And in this place it is necessary to write a thing which may seem terribly un-American and undemocratic. A vast majority of the masses of the Continent, at least in the coun try and that even in Prussia, the most intel ligent of nations are not "sighing for liberty" at all. They do not even know what liberty la. Tbe root of the matter is not found in them. They are dimly conscious, like a linnet hatched in its wicker cage, that some thing in lacking in their little lives, that "there's somewhat in this world amiss;" but if they long to come to America, an honest analysis of their minds would evolve the un heroio fact that most of them were distinctly conscious of no more elevated purpose than to be able to acquire a more ample quantum of meat and mustard for a smaller outlay of labor. Tbe war between Prussia and Austria was just in ita incipiency, the Prussian Government was rapidly mobilizing its regiments and hurling them dowm through Saxony, and the village of Stassfurt was clamorous with belligerent talk. Never theless, one thing was specially noteworthy to wit, that the disputants always confined themsel ves to a mention of "Prussia" aud "Austria," and never, on a single oooasion. allowed themselves to speak of "the king" or "the emperor," or of any other name stanl iK lor living flesh and blood. As they st around their little tables I thought many times they would certainly fall to tweaking tach other's noses. First, one would stand up, lean far aero the table, aud beat it vry earnestly with bin fist or tttrike wildly into the atmosphere, ea if in the prosecution of se verely personal hostilities against a June-bug; then the other would do the same; then they would both leap up, put their faces close to gether, and discourse very violently and fciuiultactously for many momenta together. Close by the roadnid,on an eaainence com manding a prospect far and wide over the plains, stood a sandstone monolith, which, to tbe seeker after the dark ways ot character, wan a better guide than ever Number Nip wai to the wayfarer. It appears that the Duke of Anhalt, on whose territory it stood, some twenty years ago, when his excessive taxes bad reduoed the people to beggary, was- gra- j ciously moved in his paternal heart to order the construction of a duoal turnpike, to en able his subjects to keep away the wolf from their cabins. This was all very good and pleasant to a philanthropic mind, but the weak point of the German character appears on this monument, with this legend among others: "Wanderer, as you pause here, let us joyfully declare to yon that Love fashioned this column as a memorial of our lealty to him." If Americans had received government assistance of this sort, perhaps they would have pawed a series of resolutions in grati tude, perhaps not, and there the whole matter would have ended. The principal circumstance to be noted in this inscription is that certain something of servility, of adulation and incense-burning to sleek rank rather than to starved and penniless genius, that "too muchness" of loyalty, of which Coleridge ao cuses the Germans. Compare the German Domkirchcn with the cathedrals of Italy. In the latter there are tens of thousand) of statues, statuettefl, busts, pictures, cartoons, in which the children of genius do each other noble honor above all ribboned potentates; but in German churches there are few grand tombs except to coffin the purple, few sub lime frescoes except to 'celebrate the he roism of lbne blood. How true, how pitifully true, that cauatio word of Yon Moltke as he stood before the portraits of Bazaine and MaoMahon in Versailles! "I think we Prussian generals have about as much merit as these gentle men, but, by God! they will not place anyjof our portraits iu a pantheon at Berlin." Of all cations in Europe the most peiooful and the most unhandsome on a horse, they have tho most absurd disproportion of equestrian bronze in their streets. When will Germany cease to worship kings, and build for genius a Chaucer's House of Fame? Who will ever rear the true Walhalla of Germany, wherein shall be gathered her real Einheriar? What more contemptuous term of reproaoh in the rest of Europe than "German count!" In their journals they quote the sayings of their great statesmen far oftener than we in America do, but this is merely tbe tribute of bookworms, the conceit of learning. It is egotism. Egotism and skepticism are one and it ia a curious commentary on the value of most modern skepticism that the most skeptical people of Europe are the most king worshiping nation. There is a skeptioiam which is servility itself. A skeptical people can never maintain republican government. Ihey are too absolute they must push every principle to its ultimate results; none of the imperfect systems which alone, in this fallen world, can be carried on among men will be tolerated by them. They would piok such a government to pieces, and establish in its stead such a hopelessly complicated and Utopian a flair as waa sought to be made in loio in Frankfort. There ia no elasticity in the Ger man character, no spirit of compromise, none of our American easy, swinging laissez aller which is indispensable to self-government Tbe Ger joan loses his temper in . politics he strikes blindly about him: a German minority always protests. Germans have no patience with liolltiool nflsndara. "Ho like mad dogs !" said Luther of the rebellious peasants. TRICKS OF THE TYPES. Serious Results from a Printer's Blunder The case of Louis A. Salomon vs. Pauline Lester, calling herself Pauline Salomon, was tried InNewKork yesterday. The defendant some three years ago married a man ef the name of Gustav Lesser. Very soon after this marriage tbe first husband ran away, and a suit waa com menced by her to have the marriage declared void. The suit was commenced by publication of the summons, and the printers of one paper made it "Leper" in place of "Lesser," the first "b" being written long. The Buit was nevertheless carried to a decree, the proof being prettv strong. Subsequently she married the plaintiff, and after living with him about two years brought suit for limited divorce in the Supreme Court, on the ground of cruel and inhuman treatment. In thia suit she obtained an allowance of $5 a week and $50 counsel tee. Her husband defended the suit, denying the charge of cruelty and setting up that she had a husband living. Not content with this, her husband brought salt in the Com mon Pleas to have his marriage declared void, for the reason that in the suit of Lesser vs. Les ser no jurisdiction was obtained, and hence no divorce of Mrs. Lesser enabling her to remarry. The case came up on a motion for alimony. The Court thought It could not be allowed ia a suit of this kind, though the bringing of this Buit might be a reason for increasing the allow ances in the suit in the Supreme Court. Motion denied. JUOUT TROUT CATCHING. Tlie Season at Hand in tliU Slate Impor tant to Angler. The Harrlsburg Telegraph says: The rapidity with which the natural trout streams of this State have been depopulated of this beautiful and delicious fish has rendered Btringent legislation necessary. This and neigh boring counties have some very prolific trout streams, and to assist in protecting them from unlawful visitations, we annex the following sections of a law passed In April, 180'J, now ia existence: Section six provides that no person shall at any time, with intent bo to do, catch any speckled brook trout with any device save only a hook and line, and no person shall catch any trout or have in his or her possession save only in the months of April, May, June, and July, under a penalty of five dollars for each trout bo caught or had In his possession. Section nine of the same act provides that it shall be the duty of any constable havlnsf know ledge of the violation of any of the provisions ot this act to make report thereof to any Justice of the Peace of the proper county, and any other person having such knowledge may make complaint. All anglers will see at once the propriety of conforming strictly to the law and tau restock ing the streams with trout. LOUISE'S NECKLACE. Letter from the Marclilouesa of Lome.
