Worthington Hooker, of Yale College, has done
much to Bmoothon the difficult path to knowledge
by his books for young people, which their seniors
may peruse with pleasure and Instruction. These
bocks are In what may be called an ascending 1 se
ries. First, “ The Child’s Bbolt of Nature," whore-.
by children may be trained by showing them how
to observe. Next, Ms' “Natural History," with
hundreds of engravings.'Last; fils “Science’for
the School and Family,” alBc'ooplouBly ; enriqhed
with engravings. This consists of three parts or
volumes, respectively treating of Natural History,
' Chemistry, and Mineralogy and GetSl'ogy. Harper
& Brothers, -New York, publishers of all ;Dr.
Hooker’s -books, have just-produced the volume
treating of Mineralogy and G'eolbff, which con
tains sufficient, clearly Bet forth And profusely Il
lustrated with engravings, to flil the mind with' In
formation upon the past changes and present con- ‘
dltionof the world In which we live. The previous
works of the series prepared tfie .stndent fo9 jthis
fit conclusion, In which Physio ai Geography Is
made euy, After this volume is mastered; more'
elaborate and minute works may be Stutlled--Sucli
as Dana’s admirable Amorldafi Manual of Geoligy,
and the writings of Lyell, Murohlsou, Hltehopok,"
Hugh Miller, fed. All the phenomena of Geology
bio here explained, and very suggestive most of.’
them are, Ab a tohool-bock, Hooker’s “ Mihofalogy
and Geology” hm never been equalled in any coun
try. Well written, copiously illustrated, and care
fully indexed, It Is well calculated to excite while It
also satisfies the student’s desire for information.
Professor Franols A. Marsh, of Lafayette 001-'
lege, Easton, is author of a small bi>ok, just pub
lished by Harper 6c Brothers, entitled “ Method of
Philological Study of the English Language."
With the exoeptlon of referring, throughout*, to
Fowloi’s English Grammar, the plan' of this: Ut-'
tie treatise is admirable. It is an error to render
the study of the book la your hand large! y[ de
pendent upon another book, wblob, perhaps, you
cannot obtain. Mr. Marsh is an erudite philologist,
and uses a progressive mode of instruction. Here
he commences with extracts from the Pilgrim's
Progress, thence to Milton’s Paradise Lost,
Sbakepeare’s Julias Csesar, Spenser’s Fairy
Quean, and Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.
Before discussing the writings of an author,
he insists on the pupils oollecUng a variety,
of particulars About the man, tits life, time, con
temporaries, associates, education, compositions,
stylo, language, and the character, influence, Sand
fame of bis most noted works. Thus a knowledge of
literary history Is obtained whloh the student is' not
, likely to forget, and the application of whloh makes
very facile and pleasant’ the-disousslon of the! au
thor’s sabjeot, style, andlanguage. We hope that
this small volume Is but the avtent caurrier to a
larger work, In which thejeadlng English and Ame
rican writers will be treated, like the five who have,
been here brought under observation. Received
from J. B, Lipplnoott & Go.
. A daintily prlntod volnnle (pp, 687, post, Bvp.) Is
“The Field and Garden Vegetables of America;”
by Fearing Burr, Jr., of Hlngham, Mass., In which,
with assistance from one hundred fine wood en
gravings, more than eleven hundre&varletles of the
esculent vegetables of this country are described,
with ftill instructions how to raise and use thorn.
This Is a second edition, enlarged and Improved,
and In all respects highly creditable to Its publishers,
J. E. Tilton A 00., Boston. AU the vegetables
newly Introduced Into our gardens are described
here,besides every variety of the old kinds:—for
example, of the Pea, 76 varieties; of the Lettuce,
57; of the Potato, 61; of the Oucomber, 37; of the
Cabbage, 87; of the Bean, 65; of the Turnip, 43; of
the Squash, 32; of Celery, 20, and so on. This Is
the moßt complete book of Its class ever published,
and the engravings, all from actual objects; are
exeouted with delicacy and effect. Received from
J. JB. Lippinoett & Co. .
“The Amerloan union Speaker,” compiled by
John D. Phllbriok, and published by Tdggard It
Thompson, Boston, is a handsome post Byo volume,
of t2S pages, containing a greater number and vari
ety of unhackneyed selections than it has yet been
onr fortune to meet., Of course, there is the Merita,
ble preliminary dissertation on Declamation, but
Mr. Philbrick generalizes rather than details, and
his essay may he read without any dread of Its be
'coming tiresome—for It is happily brief as well as
luold. This “Union Speaker” Is adapted to the
Spirit of the honr, Its selections from the reoent ora
tors, poets, and writers of the time giving it some-
tiling of a political character. S till, as a collection,
It lias considerable freshness, and has been made
with critical taste and judgment, Beeeived from
J. B. Lipplnoott & Co. ; " V
' Beautifully got up, printed on tinted paper,’ and
bound In the grained muslin now coming Into; use,
are four volumes, which we may paragraph to
gether. “ Beyn&rd the Box,” a burlesque poem
of the Low-German of the 16th century, is a spi
rited English metrical paraphrase of a singula?
and ancient fable, which has been ourrent, In parts
of Europe, for nearly eight centuries. Published
by De Vries, Ibarra, & do., New York, and re
ceived from F. Lejpoldt. “O Mother Dear,
Jerusalem,” edited by William O. Prime,
Is the old and well-known hymn, Its origin
and genealogy given, the text restored, and
some other medlreval hymns, breathing the
BBme spirit, also given—hymns which, no doubt,
were used by the author of the English version. It
Is an earnest, pious, and expressive production.
Published by Bandolph, New York. Beeeived
from Smith, English, St 00. “ Lyrical Re
creations,” by Samuel Ward, printed with un
usual elegance, and embellished with numerous
“tail-pieces,” neatly engraved, contains name*
rous occasional poems, ol average merit, nearly dvery
one being singly dedicated to some namesake or
other friend. Mr. Ward writes very correctly—■
his lines are eminently rythmical, and we have not
noticed even a solitary bad rhyme. Published by D.
MATTINGS,
Appleton 4 00., New York, and received from Ash
mead 4 Evans. “A Monograph on Glycerin and*
Its Uses,” by Henry Hartshorne, M. D,, Is a small
treatise on the history, production, properties, sol
vent and other power, and ltß medical and pharma,
couticalusea.as well as Its uses in the arts and
manufactures. Published by J. B. Lipplneott 4 Co.
Of certain GhUdren’s.Books we can only make
mere mention to-day. “Aunty May’s Children”
have their histories related In four lGmo volumes,
each with four engravings, and the publishers
(Carlton & Porter, New York,) have put them up
In a hand; ease. “ The Mother’s Pictorial Alpha
bet,” email qnarto, with forge engravings, and
«(The Babe and The Princess,” from the same pub
lishers, ought to win favor among’ young folks.
Dlsosway’B “Children’s Book of Sermons” lsTather
over-dolugthething. “Lessons for every Sunday
In the Year,” published by the Sunday School
Union, Includes theperlod from Adam to Elijah,
hut has the disadvantage of being printed In a
type so small as to be prejudicial to any eyes.
Mr. Desllver, of this city, Is abont republishing
Charles Knight’s School History of England, and
also haste the press Interlinear translations of Ju
venal and Livy.
Habpke’s .-Magazihb. Forty*two first-lass
wood-engravings may be taken as a very liberal Il
lustration of one magazine. The letter-press Is
also worthy notioe. This month, It Is topographi
cal, historical, and biographical, with some poetry,
a trio of novelettes, a paper on Thieves’ Jargon, a
talk abont Wall street in War Time, a Sermon to
Servants, (not In the manner of Dean Swift’s fa
mous Advice to Servants,) new portions of tluf new
serials by Dickens and-Wilkie.Oolites, and the
Monthly Beoord, Eaßy Chair, and Drawer. The
chief Of the illustrated articles are “Where the
‘ Wateree* was,” (down at the extreme end of South
America); “ The Petroleum Hegion of America,”
by John S. Sehooley; “Military Adventures 1 Be
yond the Mississippi,” by J. S. O. Abbott;land
“Beoolleotions of Sherman,” by W. F. Q-.
There is as much reading In this slnglennm
ber of Harper as In an ordinary 12mo. vo
lume, and it very nearly completes the thir
tieth volnme of the work, the Index to the whole

Franklin, and on the banka of Oil Creek. There is
a fine elegiac tribute, by O. W. Holmes, to “Our

cond number of the Seventy-ninth volume contains,

granted In 1864, has now a resident Secretary,-un
der compensation, to take charge of Its library, sci
entific affaire, and correspondence; that the num
ber of members is on the Increase, and that the ac

perous condition than It has ever known before.
Some or the greatest men that have lived have
been very dull scholars In their youth, and havo
been set aslde'by their teaehers as likely to be good
for nothing. Sir Walter Scott, Brinsley
Sheridan in the old country, and Patrick Henry in
the new, were samples of this harshly-judged class,
and we find that Llent Cushing, the hero, of the
Albemarle—tbe brave yonng officer whose fame ex
tends throughout the country—according to the
Providence’ Bulletin, was formerly oonneoted with
the Naval Academy, but failed to give satisfaction
In the required course. Some, at least, of his tutors
seemed to think that he could never make an effi
cient naval officer. But the public will doubtless
give blm the honors which the profession withhold.
Though not as promising as many others while a
student, he is -likely to outstrip his competitors In
the performance of the practical duties of the ser

THE CITY.
BIIIXABT.
BECHOITIHG OF THE VETERANS.
Owing to a late order Issued by Provost Marshal
General Fry, based upon the enrolment bill as
passed by Congress, recruiting of veterans has al
most come to a “deadlock.” It la understood that
the Attorney General has Issued an opinion whtoh
sets aside the order. The.bill alludes to enrolled
citizens, or those; subject to the-draft, and not to
veterans or alllha. If this order had not been Issued
the quota of the city of Philadelphia' would be full
today. There are manyveterans who wouldgladly
avail themselves of the generous bounty offered by
the authorities of Philadelphia, but the order, as it 4
Is understood, prevents many veterans enlisting
in this City. Impartial history will record the fact
that under the system for recruiting, as adopted by
Mr. Benjamin Franklin, he raised over nine hun-
Ureh mcn within a conple of weeks. Had the order
of Provost Marshal General Fry not been Issued,
there would have been thousands of veterans-at
Camp Stoneman to-day where there are now only
hundreds. We heard It stated yesterday that there
is a serious misapprehension In regard to the order.
It Is said to be eertatntbat the objeottonaole part
if It will be removed; If so, Mr. Franklin will
continue the work, and send two or three companies
per day to swell the ranks of the grand National
Guard. The services ot such men arevaiuabie, in
deed, to the country, and every effort, both military
and civil, should be exerted to push on the column.
There are hundreds of veterans In all parts of the
State who have signified their intention of enlisting
under the oare of Chief Franklin, and nobody else.
This IB simply a plate fact,susoepilble of volumi
nous proof. it is true that he has incurred the en
mity of the entire bounty-jumping fraternity, seces
sion sympathizers, and other classes of men whose
opinions, like their Influence, la unworthy of con
sideration, and whloh should consign them to well
merited oblivion. The committee of gentlemen or
ganized to assist Mr. FrankUn to reonutthe Blrney
Brigade hate field several" meetings lately, and
they will, under Mr. George Bullock, the warm
friend or the late General Blrney, as chairman of
tbe committee, progress with the work In a manner
creditable to their energy,' liberality, patriotism,
and generosity.

MISCELLANEOUS.
INTERESTING SUNDAY SHOOK ANNIVERSABY.
The thirteenth anniversary of the Sunday schools
of the Second Beformed Dutch Church, Seventh
street, above Brown, was held In that edifice yester
day afternoon, commencing at 3 o’clock. The
church was literally crowded to overflowing, many
having been obliged to/leave for the want of even
room to stand. The exerolses, though modelled
after the current custom of these anniversary occa
sions, were interspersed with a rew novel and original
leal ores. The schools of this church have long
ranked among the beßt conducted and most flour
ishing'in onr city, and the honorable pride felt by
those entrusted with their management to preserve
this reputation, together with their zeal In a praise
worthy work, culminated yesterday in a gratifying
exhibition of Sunday school prosperity. The exer
.rises, whloh were oonduoted by the Rev. T; De Witt
Tpimage, pastor ot tbe churoh, were atoneespirlted,
.entertaining, and. to the young, instructive, and the
appearscoe, conduct, ana discipline Of the children,
numbering aboutBoo,reflected the highest credit upon
all concerned. The singing, consioertag the large
number and variety of voices, /was, re markahly ac
curate, sweet, and at times Impressive.. .The open
ing hymn, entitled “ Sabbath, school bells, chime
on,” was admirably sung. The' hinging was con
ducted by the superintendent of the school, T. De
• Witt Moore, Esq,, the Rev. Charles Comas, Jr.,
. presiding at the organ. An “lh memoflum” hymn,
composed especially for the occasion by Mr: Wm.
E. Griffis,' and sung to the tune of “The Vacant
Chair,” as a tribute to an esteemed member of this
ehnroh, lately deceased, Mr. James B. Borer, was
»' very touching feature ln the vocal part or the
progismme.: ;.Ur'v:
The offerings for the yew, whloh were mainly ac
companied by. neatly-arranged floral gifts to various,
active members of the ehnroh; may, however, be
said to have constituted the feature of the occasion par
excellence. The several contributions arete received,
and their mottoes; (whloh were mainly scriptural
and poetic,) road by Mr. Moore, a work, which ooca
pied nearly an hour, reducing the time aUottod for
the “feast of reason and the flow of soul,” in
tie way. OF speech-making, to a very narrow limit.
There were, however, short addresses delivered by
the Rev. W. C. Van Meter, of the Howard Mission,
New .York; the Rev, J. H Suydam, pastor of the
First Reformed Dutch Church of this city, and the
Rev. Mr. Talmage, all very different la kind, but
harmoniously blended In their atm. and object, and
were listened to with marked attention by old and
young.
From the Superintendent’s annual report, which
was read by the Secretory, Mr. Vanttne, we learn
that they have now upon the roll book 470 scholars,
taught,by 69 teachers ; that during the year a new
library of l,(x 0 volumes has been added; that the
infant department, under the superintendence of
Matlsok, numbers 260 scholars, making
an aggregat* of 520 puptls In all, whloh are under
the management of c 2 teachers.
It will be borne In mind that this festive occasion
comeß directly on the heels of an-important event
that -has lately transpired ln thls ohurch, resulting
creditably to all parties. .We refer to Mr. Pal
mage’s recent loud call to another lisld, his con
scientious declination, and the liberal manner -In
which the eongregatton'met the prospective separa
tion. It was not difficult to see that the anniversary
derived at least some of Its tone and character
frdm the circumstance here referred to. -
The exerolses were concluded with a benediction,
pronounced by Mr. Talmage, at a few minutes
after 5 o’clock. _ - ‘

On Saturday, a police item was published in The

several of the veterans of General Hancook’s Ist

would deliver It to their relatives and friends. It is
said that several thousand dollars were entrusted to

ASSAULT AND BATTERY.
A well-known gentleman and energetic business
man, of Philadelphia, was arraigned on Saturday,
on the charge of committing an assault and battery
upon-Mr. O. Wilson Davis, shortly after breakrast,
at the Continental. Mr. Davis, the prosecutor, is a
large-sized man; the defendant below the medium
size. David Paul Brown, Esq,, appeared for the
prosecution. Before the investigation commenced,
the defendant said that he was ready to admit the
charge and enter ball, but desired that the case be
eontisned, as it was Impossible for his counsel, F.
Carroll Brewster, Esq, who Is in attendance at a
court-martial, to be present. <
Mr. Davis said that for purposes of cross-examina
tion, he could be present at some future period;
thathe Intended to leave at five o’olook for. New
York.
Mr. Brown said that this was simply a prelimina
ry hearing, and that it was not absolutely necessary
for counsel for defence to be present.

The time fixed for the cross, examination was 12
o'clock on the gth of April. i
The defendant now said the testimony, as given
here, Is positively not true. “I say this with truth.”
Mr. Brown, oonnsel for prosecutor, remarked that
the defendant might get himself into more trouble
by making such an assertion.
The defendant replied: “I speak the truth; I
reiterate, he has not spoken the truth.”
Mr; Davis. It matters but little what he says. I
cm glad be baemade the remarks; the oonuradle
tlon can thns go with she statement.
The-office was crowded with anxious listeners,
„ among whom we observed several of the most emk
cent business gentlemen or Philadelphia. The d»
fcndaut exhibited the earlaature photograph given
him, as confessed by Mr. Davis In his evidence.' It
represents the facial features ofdefeodant attached
to the body of a chicken, and contains two mottoes,
one of them slightly of an obscene character, the
other derogatory tothe defendant. It was stated
on Saturday that a number of copies of the pho
tographs bed been sent to different parties by mail.
It Is understood that the defendant In the assault
and battery case will institute proceedings against
Mr. O. Wilson Davis for publishing a libel, .
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
Tie stock market was Tory dell on Saturday, not
withstanding the advance In cold. Operators exhibit
extraordinary caution, and until affairs assume a more
settled aspect, we can expect no important movements,
either io stacks ormtrehandise. The only question now
Iswhetber prices shall go down by spasms, or steadily
fade away. The tali will be spasmodic if the army
meets any notable check, and steady if its progress
continues of the same character which has marked the
movement from Bashvlile' to, Atlanta, and thsaea up
the Atlantic coest to Wilmington. Under the action, of
paper money alt prices have been demoralizsd, and
this process has been so long continued that the whole
community holds Its property of every nature at ah
unnatural value. Those values,'under the return of
peace, are moving; toward natural prices as made by
the cost of production in the markets of the world, on
what are knows as cold values. When this commer
cial tide marks low water, all who have contracted
and got in debt will be cleaned out of their property,
and he left largely in arrears Government loans are
somewhat depressed, and the 1881 b Bold at the Board on

Tie subscriptions to the serea- thirty loan received by
Jay Cooke, on Saturday, amount to §2,107,300, incmd
ix g one of $64,310 from Chicaio and one of $50,00? from
Sprinifletd, Mrbs. There were 1,474 individual sab
acilptiohßof sso® 100 each. The subscription* forth*
week esdinx the 35th Inst., amount to $15,705,803.
The condition of the markets in the West. a« affected
by the recent panic in the fold market, is thus stated
by the Cincinnati Gazette of the 23d:
‘ The treat panic has upset bnainsss completely and
rendered quotations, for the time being, almost entirely
nomine]. Tie feature of the panic hare is inactivity,
rather than excitement, Business men are at a loss so
know what to do; they are a tanned, hat there is an ab
sence of that crazy energy which characterizes Sew
York operators. There the impression seems to he that
the bottom has fallen clear out of the market, and hold
ers of foods and securities dumped their property with
out retard to consequences, ana with on y one object in
view, viz :to realize. Of conrse prices rushed down
wards with the force and rapidity of a mountain tor
rent. Parties who a short time ago had the most ex
travagant notions of prices in the fntnre, were among
the first to unload, and the moat anxious to sell, as if
no ttopplDg place could be discovered A comparison
of the prices now current with those obtainable a few
weeks ago show that the most crushing lobsss have
bees sustained, and the reports of heavy failures that
reach us from hew York are not surprising fibre, as
already intimated, the disposition Is to hold off, and
while there is no disposition to press sales at the heavy
a* orifices that would be necessary in order to realize,
tl ere is an impression that a reaction must same, and
for this holders are disposed to wait—or, at least, wait
until matters become more settled. **
Beports from nearly all parts of the country concur in
showing that the prospect' for a heavy yield of winter
wheat has seldom looked more favorable than at the
present time. The present winter has been remarkably
favorable for wheat The weather was unusually
steady, and although there was but little severely cold
weather, the ground steadily remained frozen, and was
covered with snow for a longer period than has been
known for many years
Mining and oU companies are atlU rapidly increasing.
Since January, 1893, three thousand or more of these
corptrailons have sprung into existence. The very best
and the very worst business talent of the country is
to-day engaged in their management. Them is no de
nying the fact that our future prosperity is assuredly
mainly dependent upon a skilful and energetic develop
ment of the untold we slth that lies beneath our coun
try’s surface. Prom the eastern declivity of the Rocky
Mountains to the shores %f the Pacific Ocean, from
British Columbia to Mexico, stretch the million of
square miles of United States lands that are believed to
be gold and silver bearing. The petroleum hunter,
after sprinkling with his oil wells a territory nearly as
large as Mew Bsglhnd, is now tuning hopefully
towards other aid yet untrodden fields of far-greater
extent. •
A successful trial of anew system of refining crude
petroleum by chemical process was made in Mew York
a few day e.since. Twenty gallons of erode oil were
put In a cylinder with several apartments, and, after
passing through filters, turned out seventeen gallons
pure refined oil in three minutes. The gentleman
present pronounced it much sweeter than clarified by
the old process of heat, and when homed was fmnd
also to smoke much less. The loss of oil by this process
is only about twelve and one- half per cent., the naptha
and the heavy oil being neutralized. The cost by the
new system is about three cents, while in the old way
it costs about ten cents, and the oil is better in every
respect, and the gravity more uniform.
The amesdmems to the Internal Revenue law are to
go into efftet on the first of April next. Some of them
are of importance to interests Vrhich have hitherto not
been subject to taxation. Among the latter is to bs
mentioned exude petroleum. Section eighth of the
amended law levies a tax of one dollar on each barrel
of not more than forty* five gallons, hereafter produced
from the well, and the affine tax upon all petroleum
that may be in the hands of the producers, at the place
of production, on the first of April. The duty is to be
paid by the owner or superintendent of the well from
which the petroleum has been produced within ten
days after rendering the account, whieh must be given
to the assessor on tie Ist, 11th, and 31st days of each
mouth. The tax is a lien until paid upon the well pro
ducing ihe petroleum, with the buildings, fixtures,
vessels, machine* y, tools, and the lot or tract of land
on whieh the same is situated—and if the taxis paid by
anotl er than tbe owner, he shall have a lien on the
petroleum until he is reimbursed. The producer or
refiner of rock oil. who produces or refines the same
without having paid the duty, is liable to double du
ties, besides all the Where
casks exceed in capacity forty-five gallons the excess is
to be paid for at the rate of one dollar for forty-five
gallons. These are the principal features of this new
law.
