A HrotuerstNew York. TWlaUclphU Agents:
' J. B. Lippincott A Co.
There is nothuiff more - difficult than the
writing of a personal contemporaneous history.
(Mature reflection leads us rather to oppose all
formation of biographies of distinguished men
while they live, than to tolerate the prejudice or
Ifttor which naturally abounds In the would
be disinterested author. Feeling con
Tinccd, then, as we do, that an Impartial work
f the character of the one before us Is an
impossibility, we have r6ad Mr. Shanks' work,
making extra allowance". Ho has given us a
pleasant book. It Is full ol anecdotes, illus
trating the personnel of men of national reputa
tion, and J alno enriched with a scries of
yery wretched wood-cut.
The author tells us that be Intends to give us
a series of pictures of the leading Union army
officers, with all the mask of romance torn on";
that he will deal Impartially, and thus enable
tis to judge of our generals In a new light, by
presenting us with new fact?. These promises
he does not fulul. He attempts to do away with
popular prejudice, but gives in its place a pcr
eonal painting ot his own, much less reliable
than that which the people would naturally
create. Mr. Shanks has been a war correspond
ent. As a rule, all journalists of that class labor
under the delusion that they know a little more
than anybody else, and a gieat deal more than
the commanders. They are filled with abstruse
military terms; and seem to think that if they
know the difference between a strategist and a
tactician, they ore qualifies to form a judgment
on all martial heroes, from Alexander down to
the present day. Mr. Shanks Is evidently pene
trated with this idea. He tells us Sherman was
rreat strategist; Thomas a great tactician;
Grant a oomblaalion in equal proportions;
Sheridan neither, but a headlong fighter; and so
on through all the list. He evidently considers
. Sherman the greatest general of the day; and as
we opine that Mr. Shanks was with General
Sherman, we do not wonder at his partiality.
The opening chapter is devoted to the 'Hero of
; the March to the Sea," and is by far the best
written of any of the sketches. We feel as
though Mr. Shanks has a right to tell us about
Sherman, because we are confident from his
style that he knew the Lleutenant-Gencral, ' His
narrative of him, therefore, has some force, and
particularizes in such a manner as to make it
reliable. In regard to Thomas, the same remarks
, are appropriate, only to a lesser extent. With
them our commendation ends. ' We do not
believe that Mr. Sparks knew General Grant, or
' any other of the officers, any better than we do,
and our knowledge consists in the possession of
their photographs. There is a lack of force, a
want ol the graphic in his descriptions, which
reveal to us his ignorance. No man who
attempts to describe another whom he knew
well, . would deal entirely in generalities.
He would give us a vivid sketch of
" aim, by which we could picture the
hero ourselves. Cut the author does not
, attempt any such a task: be only tells us that
- Giant had "grit;" that Sheridan was a grand
cavalry officer; that Hooker was of a "belligerent
turn of mind, nd Louu also a OgUUug man.
' He has evidently a personal pique against Rose
crans, to whom he denies every virtue or ability.
''He gives a little sketch of Geary, wn which
, we are all familiar, and dismisses each in sue.
, , -: cession, either with his censure or praise, as the
fancy takes him. We therefore consider that
' the greater part of Mr. Shanks' book is an
' exhibition of presumption of no mean order.
He attempts a flippant familiarity with certain
generals, as Sherman, for instance, and states
that he had better leave the army, and act as a
war correspondent for some New York papor.
We do not like to see such efforts at familiarity.
Calm, dignified criticism, If he possesses the
1 qualities, is what is needed In an. author of such
a work.
Yet, notwithstanding the fact that we do not
, Consider Mr. Shanks qualified to form an
opinion of any of our generals, if we except
Sherman, or to tell us anything new about
' them, yet we consider his book Is worth read
log, as it is spicy and pleasant, and will serve
to While away an hour without serious detri
ment, although without any poaitivo bcneiit to
. the reader.

Sin Brooke Fossbbooke. A Novel. By Charles
i Lever. New York: Harper & Brothers. Phila
delphia Agents: J. B. Lippincott & Co.
r . For some fifteen months "Sir Brooke Fo3s-
brooke" has been dragging its slow length along
through the columns of Blackvoood, When we
read the last instalment; we supposed that it
would continue for some fifteen months more.
; as thejre was no sign to indicate the approach ot
its termination. It is therefore with considerable
urprlse that we find that we were actually
Btandlng on'the verge of the tale, aud that but
two chapters were to be allowed to wind the
plot Bp. Like "Miss Majoribanks," its prede
cessor in that magazine (a novel which, like a
Circle, had no beginning, and, geometrically, no
end), it was broken off, probably to the sur
prise of Mr. Lever, and the joy of all sub
scrlbers.
In "Sir Brooke'' the novelist has material lor
weaving a novel which has never been excelled.
It should not, however, have been called "Sir
Brooke," but "Baron Lendrlck," who is the prin
cipal character, and a very splendid character for
portrayal he is. A man of transcendent talents.
with the most unrivalled egotism, he possesses
a wonderful will and wit at an age nearly on to
jourscore. With such a character, Lever ought
to have made his masterpiece. That he has
uuen j Huiea to ao so, is evident to all w ho hav
rcuu mo Biory. we ao not propose to review
the tale. There is not a character In it which is
not a creation ot genius in itself. Every on of

Mrs. Scwcll, also, is dlnniiscd from the 'taee,
merely ' leading a child by the hand" a very
unfati'factory settlement for a character in
which we are interested. So on with all the
list of the personages; and wo would hot be
afraid to lay a wager that the editor of Mack
wood told Mr. Lever to cut his novel short, as
they had no more space for its prolongation.
The fact can no longer bo denied that lilack
wood has fallen ' from Its hish place, and has
ceafd to be a first class magar.ine. It is spirit
less, purposeless, and Intensely stupid. When
we think of what it wa, and what It Is, we can
only compare H to .a JuU-ftrown man sunk into
senile imbecility, and whose only remaining duty
is to rid the world of his presence by a decent
death. '

There is no man living who stands higher in
the religious world than Mr. Spuraeon. He Is a
gentleman of surpaslng eloquence and most
undoubted piety. We therefore receive with
satisfaction such a vol u mo as the one before us.
It consists in the selection of a text, with a page
ol reflection on it, which is to be read every
morning. Tne volume has just 365 pages, so
that there is one supplied for every day in the
year. It is full of high thoughts and moral
reflections, and Will, we doubt not, meet
with a warm reception by the Christian world.
It cannot but do-eood to all who read It with
care.

Skelly: No. 732 Chesnut street.
The two little books whose titles wo give
above are of a series being continually issued
by Mr. Skelly for the young. They are pleasant
reading for children, and being stories with
excellent moral, without metaphysical discus
sion, as some lately banded us, can be pur
chased with advantoge as gifts to the little ones.

This is the opening piece tne poem irom
which the volume takes its name:
FLOWER DB LUCE.
Beautiful lily, dwelling by still rivers,
ur solitary mere,
Or where the sluegish meadow brook delivers
its waters to tne weir i
Thou laueheet at the mill, the whirr and worry
Ot Bundle ana ot loom. .
And the pieat wheel that toils amid the hurry
And rushing ot the tiume.
Born to the purple, born to joy and pleasure,
Thou dost not toil nor spin,
But makeot glad and radiant with thy presence
The meadow ana tne iin.
The wlndblows and uplifts thy drooping banner,
And round thee tnrong ana run .
The rushes, the green yeoman of thy manor,
The outlaws ot the sun.
The burnished dragon-fly is thine attendant,
And tuts atrainst tne neid.
Aiid down the listed sunbeam rides resplendent.
With steel-blue mail and snieid.
Thou art the Iris, fair among the lairest,
Who, armed witn goiuen rea,
And winged with the celestial azure, hearest
Ibe message of some god.
Thou art the Muse", who, far from crowded cities,
Hauntest the sj Ivan sireams,
Playing on pipes of reed the artless ditties,
Inat come to us as dreams.
O flower de lu.ee. bloom on, and let the river
Linger to kiss thy leel :
0 tlower ot song, bloom on, and make forever
The world more fair and sweet !

PiBis, November 9. The fashionable tonics
of the day are, firstly, the splendor of our

on the prevailing sombre styles adopted by tho

Little Madame Cruchette, who Is the Joyous,
pretty wile of a seriously pUin man, was lately
near me at the Bois, and turned quite round
every time she met one of those mourners clad
in flowing crane and jet cascades. She at last
thus expressed her opinion: "It is becoming,
but what a pity they have not the consolation
of feeling that they really are in mournint'l"
Of course M'me Cruchette's legal partner did
not respond to the feeling, and sententiously
replipd : "My dear Cruchette, there was once
upon a time a model woman by the name of
Artcmesia, who had a tomb erected to the
memory of her husband that cost nearly a
million of our money, and she loved bim so that
she swallowed a spoonful of his ashes every
morning." ...
"Of the monument's or of her husband's?"
inquired M'me Cruchette, in ; complete con
sternation. "Of ber husband's, my dear," answered Mr.
: let us call him Cruchon.
"How very nastyl" exclaimed the young wife.
"Well, there is no accounting for tastes," she
added, and what more she said I did not hear,
lor the Bois was rather crowded, only I deter
mined that this tcrap of conjugal conversation
should be recorded.
Other scraps, too, I have, but of a different
nature. 1 noted them on a fan which Alexandre
Dumas, the novelist, had toyed with a few
moments, and on the ivory ribs of which he had,
while talking, written the following pencilings:
"A branet deceives and a blonde betrays.
Women are born to subjection lrom the day of
their biith; those who resist are not women,
but men." i
Can ths be what is meant by the sweet lan
guage ot the fan r I advise all those who stand
up lor our "rights" never to allow Alexandre
Dumas to make the said sweets expressive.
Tortoise shell is a thing no novel writer has, I
should thiLk, ever attempted to scribble on,
though the way it is now made up into combs
would admit of a few observations. The new
gallery combs are very artistic: they are gene
rally made of very light tortoise shell (ecaille
blonde), and large black or rich brown spikes
stand out of tbe broad urn. Both light and dark
are worn very high over the cross-parting of the
hair. Some nave rich tortoise shell pendants,
chains, or Egyptian weights hanging from the
Another novelty In combs is to have them
headed with artificial flowers fixed on to a plain
comb, and a hanging trail on oae or both sides
ot the chignon. I do not admire tM
tho flowers selected by the people who deal in
tMa arltnla 4J ia-rwlaUlo f Orget-Uie-nOtS,
which I think ought to be forgotten, for they
are never becoming unless used with white
lilies of the valley.
The new head-dresses nre perrectly lovely.
They are mostly in tbe Odalisque stylo.
Enamelled beads, frosted leaves, velvet or
bronzed toliage are made up in cardons, with a
puff of blonde to be put on one side above the
lelt temple. The prettiest lrosted flowers are
tbe narcissuf, without stalks, and the open con
volvulus. These are threaded in trails and
wound according to requirements round
chignons and between rouleaux..
Lonetnile veil3 of the finest and most vapor
ous texture are olo worn on the left side ot the
chignon, concealing bright green feather grass
in their delicate lolds. Sometimes the very
queerest looking tinsel lsaves in gorgeous tints
cling in and out ot tbe light drapery like lichen
or bindweed. These soft drapery lolds Impart
a peculiar hazy mist round the outline of the
neck or shoulders. Some elegantes and supreme
coquettes roll sliuhtly these tulle mists round
their throats in preference to allowing the veils
to hang a 'orientate. They know the ndvantaee
of the rtcherche, and that the plainest lace looks
almost pretty w hen lramed in a snowy fabric
. dotted over with tinsel oi relieved by the shades
of luiuiiunt vegetation,
Aisrette3 of tulle, cock's-coiub shane. are
raised above coronets of ponceau velvet and
pearl drops. Our fashionable mnaistes are all
making them, and on the head they are not
tinlike a mitigated turban.
The only pretty bonnet I have seen since the
last 1 described is made of white terry velvet,
l.amballe shape, with an incroyabic crown.
Tbe front is a diadem of pearl peuuuuts hanging
from a fringe of seed pearl network.
A pietty string Li the white ground with deep
capvetne border on one side, and light capuciiie
(nastuitium) on the other; or what is lashion
able, a deep gold pheasant border ot two budes
on white.
Ruby satin robee are very much favored for
full drees, and I must heie unnounce tho return
of an article of the toilet which looks most out
of place and lastidious in print; in fact, out of
place in all the localities I have seen it, and
which, however, is in a great hurry to be intro
duced to your readers. Our graudmothers u;-ed
to call it "bustling," or a "bustle." They are
considered essential under court trains ana long
sweeping black robes. They are made of springs,
of course,
A genteel afternoon toilet is made of violet
cashmere, trimmed with violet satin cross-folds,
and worn with violet jatin sleeves.
The same in blue is equally fashionable,
Genoese filigree ornaments are much woru on
velvet.
Oiey poplins are vandyked con anxore over
laieht colored plisse petticoats.
The prettiest novelties for in-door wear are
h'gh white caahmere chemisettes, worked ou
the two fronts with cerise silk, coral braiuh
pattern. '
White cloth jacket? and formidable buttons
called "grants," or more suitably, in plain Eng
lish, cheese plates, are worn in open carriages
and at the races.
A practical bolero-veste for evening wear Is
made of white pros grain, bordered with swan's
down. These little Spanish jackets will bo worn
next winter over low bodies after diiucinir, aud
thus protect one from draughts which unwise
cotillion amateur w ill court in apLte of retnou
st ranee.
The new fashionable colors are bois and
ramtert tbe latter W of a curious dove shade, not
the Mate bordcriug on lilac, but the dun border
ing on fawn. The richest silk I have seen since
my last was lots or li.eht brown ground, on
wblch bulrushes and fern leaves w ere woven in
black velvet. i
I am hsppy to saythat the too lone despised
shawls are returning to favor, only they are not
put on as formerly; they arc folded like scarfs
and the ends ban? down tbe sides, pcplum
style. Nothing will bo more acceptable than
this bit ot news to ladies Who have taate for
what Is really elegant, neither can anything bo
more comiortanln than a shawl, be it a plain
tartan or a costly cashmere. There secuii
notblnc'so ewv to select n Iho latter article;
rotblnar Is really dltllcnlt. I maintain that
an intelligent denier in that peculiar irancli
must oe sometning more than a shawl i store
keeper, for the texture, shade, pattern, fringe,
size, and weight entail a certain deari-ee of erudi
tion and exceptional taste. A caahmerp that
can be worn with anything orevcrvthiag ihoald
never be bought without much previous medi
tation. . , . I
Lace ar also too often purchased because
they are old, expensive, or rich, without any
consideration as to the style of drew they are to
be worn with. It . Ireqneutly occurs that odd
measures of lace become useless, because leneth
was not consulted when a reckless lace mania
was on the purchaser. A 'good bargain" thus
olten becomes a considerable outlay. i
A wanderin Jew may get a yard or more of
fine Alencon off bis hands at a comparative loss,
and his lady customer inav show her acquisition
am on or her friends in all the glory of having for
once got tho better of "Shyiocki" but has she
really acquired a solid advantage, if nothing ele
gant can be made of the said point, because
there Is either not enough for one thing or too
much for another ?
