LITERATURE.
XrcT Ariin. lly J. T. Trowbridge. Ticknor
A Kit-Id, lioftcn. Philadelphia Agent, O. W.
l'ltcbfr, No. 8d8 CliMuut street.
Mr. Tronbrlcige has achieved for himself a
favorable reputation by the publication of
"Cndjo's Cave,", and the appearance of "Lucy
Arlyn" will iiot detract from hi fame. It Is a
novtl of strikingly forcible parte, yet somewhat
dlsjoink'dly put together. It resembles the
poplar tree, very bcautllul in its shape when
well trimmed, yet woliilly ugly when left to native
luxuriance. "Lucy Arljn" wants pruning.
There are too niapy inferior creations, who ap
pear upon the stdge as utility men, and serve
only to diblract the reader's attention from the
main points of the story. I!ut the whole work
h written in a fpiritcd, pleasant style, and
abounds in lively dialogue. It is a well-known
fact, and one which we think will bo rccog"
nixed not only by tnoeo who have attempted to
write, but bIho by all critical readers, that a
tprigbtly dialogue, a natural cenverwution Is
rarely found in a novel. There is a stiff conven
tionality about it which should be easy and
flowing which is more suggevtive of the style
of dress In tbe days of Queen Elizabeth than of
any modern production. Theentences abound
In woids which are found only in the dictionary,
or else are full of vulgarisms fit only for the
lips of a boor. Both of these Mr. Trowbridge
has avoided. His style of dialogue is both easy
and natural.
While, therefore, we praise the style, we must
find the greatest fault with the morality displayed
in the production. Wo aro glad, for the sake of
its reputation, that tho author ' has omitted to
luulize his sketch. If it has a habitation it
muft be a miserably immoral one, bo far as the
female portion of tho population is concerned.
Of the four leading heroines, Lucy, Christina,
Sophia, and Jlrs. II?dge, the Icps we say about
their chastity the better. Whether some Mormon
usage prevailed in their village or not, we cannot
tell; but to our eyes the proceeding of these
four dames seem anything but consistent with
the doctrines of the ceveuth command of the
Decalogue.
Of the charactc r of the hero, Guy Harrington,
we cannot speak highly. Any man who would
marry in fcciet the woman he loved, and then
let her ive lor years uuder the odiam which
must follow keeping tho ceremony a secret,
for the purpose of inheriting some paternal pro
perty, must, in our opinion, have but littlo heart,
and be of an extremely narrow mind. Again, for
a married man to treat another woman than his
wife in the manner which he did Christina, ha
a tendency to encourage crime under the name
of religious enthusiasm. The whole tenor of
the work has an immoral aroma. It speaks of
wickedness, it narrates crime, and yet makes the
criminals come out unpunished at the end. In
fact, though an interesting work, and to a well
instructed and religious mind a harmless one,
yet on a weak and wavetjug reader its intluence
would be dangerous.
To this objection is superadded another which
makes the author appear a3 though the glimpses
of the moon had had an unfortunate effect upon
Lis brain. The teudency of the whole produc
tion appears to be to prove the correcness of
those wild hallucinations known as psychco
many, or spirituuliru. Coming as it does from
that nest of all the isms of the world, from that
hatching place ot all mainess, and birth-placo
of all that lolly can invent or illogical conclusions
deduce, we would naturally expect that it would
be tinctured with some of the manias which
have made Bo.ton the laughing-stock and the
pestilence of America. There has never been
an insane delusion which has not either ori
ginated or been propagated by some citizen of
the "Hub of the Universe." We recognize all
the good 6hc hag done, but unless these wild
schemes bo abandoned, ull the good will bo can
celled by the evil she inflicts. When,, therefore,
Mr. Trowbridge comes out in a novel in order to
prove certain spiritual doctrines, we are not
surprised, although we are disgusted. He fills
his work with curious incidents. Children mur
dered have their graves discovered. Gold and
silver mines are ferreted out and bear
hunts depicted. In fact, various curious
phenomena are narrated, to which tho writer
gives a sort of semi-personal assent. The folly
and mischief which the reception aa truths of
such doctrines could cause is incalculable.
And the danger is not lessened because the forai
in which it seeks to promulgate is that of a fic
tion. The moft prodigious intluence ever ex
erted against an institution and in favor of a
doctrine had a novel as its vehicle llrs. H.
II. Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin." We therefore
regret thut Mr. Trowbridge ban given na a novel
inoculated with French morals and Gorman
skepticism. We regret this the more because he
has givrn us a very jood novel. With all its
delects, it ia of.deep interest and will well repay
perusal, so lur a the pleasure of its contents it
concerned. It is a literary success, and we hope
will prove a pecuniary one, as all encourage
ment should be given to the productions of na
tive authors, and the tendency to lethargy
evinced by most of them is much to be lamented.
The work is beautifully executed, typographi
cally, by Messrs. Ticknor St Field. We are in
debted to G. W. Pitcher, No. 808 Chesnut street,
for the copy before us.
The Fokttjnb Sebkir. By Mr. E. D. N. South
worth. T. B. Peterson & Brothers, No. 3UG
Chesnut street.
It would seem as though Mrs. Henry Wood, Mrs.
Bouthworth and Miss Braddon have been turned
loose into the literary race-course, and are striv
ing for the palm of prolixity at a rate which ap
pears to ordinary mortals astonishing. With all
three of the ladies the prod net ion of a work is
only delayed so long as the mechanical execu"
tlon demands. We are therefore gratified but not
surprised at receiving works from Messrs. Peter
eons of Mr. Southworth's production. Tho pre
sent one Is a republication of the same story
which appeared last year as a serial in the New
York Ledger. It is probably the most absorbing
of all of tho recent eh"u6iona of her fertile
pen. Of the probability of tha plot, of
the sense and likelihood of any of the inci
dents, w e will not waste time to speak. There is
no possibility of any such combination of cir
cumstances occurring on thin earth. We all re
ceive as truth the wonders of the "Arabian
Nights," but we do not believe the "Fortune
Seeker." Although we are thus content to let
its natural resemblance pass without prai'so, we
must yield our admiration of its deep interest,
its absorbing power, and wonderful dramatic
execution. Among those with whom the works
of this lady are popular, we prophesy Jbr thU one
an unprecedented! y large sale. It only needs to
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, THtiltSDAY;
be examined to be recommended, and while
therefore we deplore the dulness of the plot, we
most yield our admiring praise to the remarks,
bio luxuriance of imagination which it betrays.

ANOTHER GREAT OIL STORY.
Well Flowing 1000. Barrels a Day.
This well promises to be the event in oildom
for come lime. It is on the Frothlngham lease,
which iH situated at tho upper end of the tram
way and extends ip the right side of the ravine.
On'Thurrday lart, pumping was commenced in
No. 32. There pi eved to be very little water in
the well, not more than Bve barrels having been
thrown up altogether, whvn the oil immediately
followed. The pumping only continued about
ten minutes, when the well began to flow. It was
claimed as a good stnko of a three hundred bar
rel well on FiiJay last. On Saturduy it was
I mmped about halt an hour, and on Monday
ikewite, alter which tho sucker rods were
drawn, when it immediately commenced flow
ing at an asttniyhiug rate. New wells, especi
ally largo oncp, are subjects of astonishment,
rather than mcu.surement, even to the most ex
perienced. Large flowing wells generally pro
duce much mo) e oil during the first three or
lour days, or dining the first rush, than after
wards. It is seldom that an opinion upon the
amount a new well is producing is sustained by
sub-cqucnt tacts. Fivo hundred barrel wells
generally turn out but three, and so with other
cmautitirs in sniull proportion. The reader in
(his instance mutt be suttsled with the opinion
of others, upon the quantity of oil actually
being yielded, but It is eertaia that when
visited yesioiduy, it was pouring out at
a rate which would have excelled cither
the United States or Pool Wells of Pit
hole in their palmiest days. The flow is
steady and forcible, spouting irom the mouth of
the pipe, in a straight line, from nvt to eight
feet, and giving the spectator an impression that
it is ejected with sreat force. The volume of gas
is also grut. Two board box pipes, about
twenty feet in height, have been erected over
the covered tank, into which is flows. Frcfm
each of these urihes a constant volume of gas,,
so thick and black as to resemble smoke from a
chimney. The amount of oil which the super
intendent claims us its production during the
lirst twenty-four hours is twelve hundred bar
rels. Several gertlemen of much experience in
ttie oil territory visited it yesterday lor the first
time, and after the usual period spent in discus
sion und investigation, pronounced it at least "a
thousand barrel well." Reno Times.
SHOCKING CRIME IN NEW YORK.
An Infant Roasted Alive.
We hear from private soarces of a crime com
mitted in this city some twenty days since,
uiinobt too norrinie to recora, ana presenting
one of the numerous phases ot infanticide so
common in New York and vicinity. About mid
night a well-drcesrd man drove tn a carriage to
the rooms of a professed midwife (we give no
names at present, as we understand tho facts
have been comnuiaicated to a Catholic priest,
and brought before the police) and per
suaded the woman to go with him to a
house near by to attend the accouchment
of a young woman. The carriase apparently
was driven through various stieeta, with the
view of deceiving the nurse, until it stopped in
front ot a large house, in which there were no
lights, either in the hall or in any of the
rooms, Reaching the third or fourth story, the
midwife was first led into an uniihted room,
where there was a bed and a woman upon it,
undergoing the pains of labor. ThiB room led
into another, where there wprc no lights, but
where there wn.i a large fire. The midwife
then took her place by the bed in the adjoining
room, and in half an hour a young mother, who
refuted all communication with her new nure,
was delivered of her firtt child, it was im
mediately takcu into tbe room with the fire,
w hen the nurse naked lor its clothiner, and was
told by the moubter who had decoyed her to
tho house and chamber, and a2air.Pt her
partial remonttance iiom the beginning,
that there vas no clothing for the
child, and that it must be put upon tho
fire ! The nurse rofnsed, when the man drew a
pit-tol upen her, aui threatened to kill her if the
did not obey hini. She still relused, when ho
deliberately took the inlant from her arms
v hich wss'a healthy child into his own hands,
and put it upon the fire ! literally roasting it
alive. The nurse was immediately returned to
her home, in the same carriage, and by the sumo
circuitous route, where she has been ill ever
since, and only well enough to communicate
th( se astounding tacts to hr priest, who, as we
before faid, has lnid all them before tho police.

Important to Savings Banks.
The question of the liability of savings banks
to a tax el one twenty-fourth of one per cent, a
month upon nil moneys received, invested, or
loaned, according to tho terms of the one hun
dred and tenth section of the Internal Revenue
Act, has just been Bet at rest by the United
States Supreme Court. The case which gave
rise to the decision is the came which recently
came up before the United States Circuit Court
in New York, an appeal having been made on a
conflict of decision. Associate Justice Clifford,
who delivered tbe opinion ot the court, ruled
that the bank is liable to pay the duty; that the
loans received and inveitcd are deposits within
the meaning ol the act of Congress; and thut the
moneys received on deposit in anyone month,
and invested in the manner stated daring the
same month, are deposits within the meaning
of the acts of Congress, so as to render tbe plain
tiff liable to pay the tax thereon for the same
month. Ilereatter, therefore, savings banks
will be regarded, for purposes of revenue, as
being identical witA all other banking corpora
tions. It is proper to add that both Justices
Grier and Nelson dissented from the deeision of
the majority, holding that these institutions are
merely agents '-receiving small sums lor poor
depositors, and loaning them out under restric
tion, or investing them in United States, in State
bonds, or stocks, tor the benefit of the depositors,
with the apurovitl of the institution."

INTERESTING ITEMS.
IIATH OF ilf WINntT BlBLIOORArnHB. M.
Qnersrd, an eminent French bibliographer,
died lat December, whilst engaged correcting
the final sheet of the introduction to the new
edition of his "Literary Frauds," but the event
was for some time ennoticed. A late English
Journal says: "The peculiar literary laber to
w hich ho had devoted his life ws not very re
munerative; so M. Qnerard died poor. For
many yeais he had been hoping for the cross of
the Legion of Honor, and only received this
mark of distinction in August. It ! said that
he began life as a clerk in a bookstore ia Ger
many. In that humble station be began col
lecting materials for his treat works, and in the
course of thno he produced them, after volun
tarily leading a lite of privetion in order to
give the necessary time to them. The sale of his
works was slow, most students preferring to ex
amine such books in the national libraries.
Many years ago Gnizot gave him a pension of
one thousand francs per annum, and mainly
upon this he lived until his deuth, in the sixty
eighth year of his age. At the funeral M. Paul
Lacrolx delivered a touching discourse. 'Let
ns not,' he said, 'separate without giving a last
farewell to our friend, to our rival, to) our
model, to onr admirable bibliographer, Joseph
Marie Querard. He was born a bibliographer,
he lived and. died a bibliographer, without
having ever had any other passion, any other
aim, any other destiny, in his erudite and labo
rious exutence. than to contribute for his share
tho most and the best poit-ible to tbe progress
of French Bibliography. . To speak of his nu
merous w orks, to appreciate, to praise them, is
to tell the story ot his lite."'
Etbakgb Volcanic Phenomena, The United
States Consul at Snntorin, Grecian Archipelago,
writes to the Department of State, under date
of January 23, 1800, that the inhabitants of that
place were, on the 18th. instant, much excited
by a singular phenomenon. For five and a half
days tho island was continually jarred by earth
quakes, which were accompanied by other new
and strange phenomena, such as sinking ot ttio
earth, boiling of the sea, disappearance of land,
end appearance of water instead, and the crack
iug of the earth and walls of buildings. It is
believed by scientific men who were preent,
that the whole island will sink and be replaced
by a new one, as a small island has, in fact,
been formed a short distance Irom the old one,
which is continunlly increasing, though the heat
of the atmosphere in its neighborhood prevents
any close inspection of its nature.
