Rei,oi.i.kctio??8 of A. W. Allen. By L. A.
Pornoy. Kew York: M. Ooolady. Phita-tlf-lpbia
ARcnt: U. W. TitcbPr, No. 803
Cbetnut street.
The name of Mr. Allen Is unfamiliar to
our readers. He waa a Ucbel of slight promi
nence, and was at one time elected Rebel
Governor of Louisiana, lie held no higher
position than Brigadier-General, and why a
volume should be devoted to recollections of
biro, 1b for Mr. Dorscy and Mr. Doolady to
decide. Why we should not recommend It
to our readers. a much easier matter to tell.
It Is a pleasantly written biography, and a9 it
treats of one in whom we feel no Interest,
who was not noted for any special ability or
action, we cannot but hope, for the sako of
the editor, that the people of Louisiana feel
more Interest In Mr. Allen than those of
Pennsylvania.
ScnooL-DA-Y Dialoguks. Compiled by
Alexander Clark, A.M. Philadelphia: J.
W. Daughaday & Co.
Mr. Clark Is the editor of an Interesting
little periodical, the School-Day Visitor, and
has devoted considerable time to the prepa
ration oi the work before us. It Is intended
to instruct and amuse, and treats of scliool
day topics in a conversational and natural
manner, avoiding the pedantic and abstruse.
It Is a work which will be well received in
our country schools, and, we predict, be found
of value to teachers. It is substantially and
cheaply bound, and possesses great variety of
matter.
Tkk Negko in tuk Amktuca: Rebel
lion: His Heroism and His Fidelity.
By William Wells Brown, author of
"Sketches of Places and People Abroad,"
etc. Boston : Lee & Shepard, 1807.
This is a most readable and timely work.
The author has compiled here a serifs of ex
ceedingly Interesting tssays, proving the
value of the services rendered to the country
by his unfortunate race. The lact that a
colored man has written a work of such im
portance (literary and historical) as this,
should command the attention of all who are
in favor ot the manifestation of impartial
justice towards the black man. Mr. Brown
has drawn in this book beautiful and truth
ful pictures of the Negro in our first Revolu
tion ; the Negro at New Orleans ; the Negro
in the South Carolina Fright; the Negro In
a Slave Revolt at Sea; the Negro in the John
Brown Raid ; the Negro in the great Slave
holders' Rebellion ; and last, but not least, an
authentic account of tho great insurrection
' beaded by Nat Turner, in Virginia, in 1831.
The latter was the Garibaldi of the colored
race, and his memory should be preserved,
not only in books, but upon the sculptured
granite, by his people . In later chapters of
the work, lull Justice is done to the "contra
bands" of the South. The services of our
colored regiments ore mentioned, and the
complimentary orders of our Generals are
Judiciously interspersed through the work.
Several chapters are devoted to tha wit,
humor, and poetry of the negro, and these
will be found especially attractive to either
.the friend or foe of the colored man.
We are pleased to announce that Mr.
Brown, the author of this volume, has con
sented to lecture before the Social, Civil, and
Statistical Association ot the Colored People
of Pennsylvania, early in February.
Two Mabmages. By Dinah Maria Muloch
New York : Harper fc Brothers.
Miss Muloch achieved a deserved reputa
tion by her '-John Halifax, Gentleman" a
reputation which her subsequent works have
not tended to enlarge. It would seem as
though the fertility, or rather the originality
of an author exhausts itself in one book,
all others being far interior. The chef
d'tettore is nothing but imitations, and no
ordinary writer is capable of producing more
than one masterpiece. '-Jane Eyre" was
Charlotte Bronte's unrivalled production.
"Rutledge" had no rival lrom the pen of its
anonymous authoress. "Beulah" was the
only work of Miss Evans to which we can
give unqualified approval; and so on through
all the catalogue. . It would, therefore, seem
too much to expect more than one from
Miss Muloch, Tht) "Two Marriages" is a
thorougkly pleasant work. It Is natural, un
strained, and well written. When we say
that, we say all we can in its favor. The plot
is hardly a plot, in the usual acceptation of
JJio term, It Is merely a story, contuUU?
much to interest, but nothing to excite the
admiration, it is neatly published by Harper
& Bros., and is for Bale by J. B. Llppinco'-t
& Co.
Telly Gushixg. The following truly
gushing criticism of "St. Elmo," a work of
doubtful merit and undoubted absurdity,
is inserted as an advertisement by Carletou, its
publisher :
"The satirical criticism with which u few
reviewers have endeavored to smother it
(partlv bemuse its vrtrie l learning has provoke 1
their envy, and purtly because its uutiior is a
Ionian, and that won'mu a bright and shining
liliht in the South) haa only redounded to its
credit, and their pigmy blows have glanced
lrom the superb, polished suies of a novel wtio-e
perfect tueccso and whose dazzliug attractions
they would tarnish with their mud
The accusation ol pedantry in the author is as
idiotic a it would be to condemu a millionaire
tor squandering a iew thousands where he had
millions Utl. Miss Evans writes a
powertul novel, a ceutle, a Christian novel,
and adorns it with areuis from the stores ot her
cultivated and edjeated mind; but Hhe doesn't
propone to Inrnisii lialr-edtu-atf d idiots with
brains wherewith to comprehend her. Mean
time the reading public endorse the work in
a manner so unmistakable that the publihUers
are utterly unable to supply the demand tor
a book which is buliijr read and praised by mil
lions and millions of readers, whose verdict
is unanimous that so fine a novel bas never
never appealed from an Ameiioau author." '
We run the risk of advertising the work
but we cannot resist the temptation of loUtne.
our r adera enjoy the literary style ol tho
production. An the notice from which
we make this extract Is paid for at bo
much a line, wo do not suppose It will carry
h resistible conviction to the skeptical reader.
The Diamond Edition of Dicukns.
Messrs. l'ickno r & Fields, world renowned
as veteran publishers, have Just issued an edi
tion of Dickens' works of great beauty aud
cheapness, iho Diamond Edition U as pretty
a piece of typography as has fallen under our
notice. Within the small pages of the volume
are included novels which have brought tears
of pity to hundreds ot thousands, which
have convulsed millions with laughter, and
delighted all readers not only oi the
English, but of all the European
tongues. Charles Dickens has a reputation
which cannot be uddod to to-day. ne has a
host of admliers, and every day the legions
of his readers are increasing. There does not
elapse a day on which some new worshipper
Is not added to his long list of devotees. In
order, therefore, to outbid the London edi
tions bo extensively imported into our
country, Messrs. Tic nor & Fields have got
up this Diamond Edition. All the works of
the great humorist are contained therein.
They are issued at a rate to cause surprise,
and will open the field to thousands hereto
fore debarred from enjoying them. The
works will grace the shelves of the richest
library, and should be found in the choicestcol
lcction of all lovers of literature.
LITERARY NOTES.
The following spicy account ol the condition
of Parisian literature we clip from the Paris
letter of the I'ubhsheis'1 Circular:
"Some time f-ince a M. Debrigcs, being hard
pi ftscd for money, applied for assistance to M.
Luuis Jourclain, an editor ol Le Steele. The
latter bad neither cold nor silver, but he en
gaged M. Dcbriges to make a book, and sug
gested the Chevalier d'Kon as a salable subject.
M. Pebrises picked up uu old work entitled 'l.es
llenioircB du Chevalier d'lion,' published in
ls30 by M. (iaillurdet, and used his scissors with
untiring energy. M. Louis Jourdain signed the
book as author, and M. Dentil published it. A
short time since M. (Jaillardet wished to bring
out a new edition of 'Les Memoircs du Cheva
lier d'Kon.' When he prtauted it to a publisher
lie was told it was only a repnut ot fll. Debriges'
'L'llenuaphi odite.' lie examined the latter, and
iound it was composed nliuost entirely of his
work, copied literally. He. therefore, brought
suit. Mil. Jourdain and Pcbriges attempted to
persuade him to abandon his action by making
the explain! ions 1 have given, aod M. Debriges
added that he thought the copyrightof M. Gaillar
det's book had expired. M. Caillardet retused to
accept the explanations, and has written some
harsh cards in the public prints. He has extra
ordinary fortune as an author. He has some
thing to do what bis share was never clearly
appeared witb writing 'La Tour do Nesle.'
lie had to bring a suit against M. Alex. Dumas
to secure the appearance of bis name on the
play-bills, and on the printed book, as an au
thor of the piece. This Pnit led to a duel be
tween hira and M. Alex. Duma--. When M.
Pure as published his memoirs, M. Gaillardet
uttac ked him (or the history ho pave 'La Tour
de Kesle.' Now he is attacking Messrs. Jour
dain and Debriges. Ho is an author never heard
of by his works, but, known by his lawsuits.
His name is tamilinr to ninny of your readers
by his career as editor ot Le Court ier des Ktals
(his, the able organ of French interests iu the
United Hlates. Si. de Lamarthie's work on Do
Balzac is likewise looked on as a literary scan
dal. It is made up almost entirely of extracts
from De Balz.ic's works. His something even
worse than his 'Lile of Byron,' and is almost
ns bud as his 'Hittory of Russia,' which was
cut out of 51. Scbuitider's 'History of Russia,'
or his work on the 'Beauties of Job,' which
appeared in Le Siicle. This newspaper gave
him twenty sous a line. To make as many lines
as possible, he put into the work the whole book
of Job, and iitile else just sauce enough to
'bind' the ingred lenls ol the dish together."
German Litehatdre in 1SCC The London
heview sajs: "The statement that the literary
activity oi Germany has during the past year
received a great check, will, we presume, not
lequirc a loiig explanation. The whole of Ger
many was deeply agitated more deeply perhaps
tl.au it has ever' been since the disastrous times
of the Thirty Years' War. Our readers must,
neveithelfss, not imagine that the number ot
publications was cousiderably smaller than in
prectciinsr years. Somehow or other the 'Vier-teljahrs-t
atalog' olwa.vs swells to about its u-ual
size, just as the columns of the daily news
papers are always tilled up, whether there be
any news or Lot. There were also published
last year many works ot great literary value iu
Germany ; but for the most part they give the
impression of being 'isolated' publications, and
they cannot be easily grouped together as repre
senting any systems or schools. The want of
unity was, however, in ene brauch at least, not
perceptible. We mean the political department
ol German literature. . In purely literary mat
ters there was no active co-operation auiung the
writers of Germany; but with regard to polities
the parties were strictly dedned, and this cir
cumstance impieseJ uj on till works bearing in
any way on the reorganization of Germany a
certain characteristic stamp. This remarkable
tac t followed in natural development the mani
fest yearning In Germany for union and free
dom, a feeling which runs throiieh nearly the
whole current literature of all "the German
States. In the course of last year, this fee'tUJ
assumed a tangible form, aud it is Only natural
that the consequences should be traceable in
the recent literary productions of Germany."
From the correspondence now published, it
appears that some fifty or sixty oi' the leading
men of Massachusetts solicited General Schou
ler, as "an eminently proper person," to under
take a war history ol Mascachu.-etts, in which
"a preat masf of the vivid but evanescent mate
rial of hisiery should be resent! from oblivion
bv some able baud whose official opportunities
,bave titled him lor the task." In bis reply,
'General Schouler accepts the commission, ex
plaining that "the grand purpose of the book
will be to show what our oiiicers and men iu
the military and naval service have done, how
hi avely they have Jougbt, how nobly sutlered."
lie adds that otht'r demands upon ins time w ill
prevent his ulving the work undivided attention,
though he will endeavor to complete it within a
reasonable time. It is to be hoped this will not
grow into as long a time as is required tor the
New Jersey war history, which was authorized
by the Legislature a year ago, and entrusted to
Mr. John Y. Foster, au accomplished writer,
but ot which the plan and arrangement are still
under diseussiou.
De Toequevllle somewhere pays: "Freedom
creates a thousand times more property than it
destroys, and in States that enjoy it the re
sources ol the people Increase faster than the
taxes." This, it not the motto, is certainly the
moral of a book just published by Cotta, of
Stultgari, written by Dr. Karl Fvtiherr von
Hock, Imperial Privy Councillor oi State of
Austriu, on "The Finances Rml tbe Financial
History of tbe United States." The author
i-tates in his preface that he began his special
studies cl the subject in tbe fall of 1862, induced
to do so by the wonderful aspect which tbe
finances of the United States began to present,
by the readiness with which bureusouie taxes
weie borne Hud loans contracted alter a long
period of immunity from tawwiou. nls
work was long interrupted by the negotia
tions between Aut-tria ami the German Customs
Unirn, in which he bore a eonspicuons
part; but, its olten as he returned to the subject,
he rrceKnized more fully its peneral and per
manent interest. The analogy of the internal
BtlturK of the United States to those of Austria
made it important "to inquire what were the
means emplovcd la America lo secare tht! tri
umph of the Union, hieher deurcc of cultiva
tion, freedom, and the increasing prosperity of
the people, while such results could not be
achieved in Austria.'' It ii important, too, lor
the emigrants trom Eurone to know something
about the financial laws and administration of
the country ot their adoption. A cnrelul reading
of the book would, tionbtle-ts, be o of L-reat
value to nianv native Amerieat s, and we hope
that n translation of It will be made. Von Hock
published In 18.7 a work on the financial
administration of France that has been much
read and studied in France, and in 1803 he pnb-lii-hed
another on "Taxes and Public Expendi
tures," that was nli-o well received.
Tho first number has appeared of a new
quarterly journal called the Southern UcvUw,
published in lialtimcre. It Is edited by Albert
Taylor Bledcoe formerly Professor of Mathe
matics In the Universities of Mississippi and
Virginia, and late Assistant Secretary ol war to
the. Confederate States, a prolitic writer for the
Southern prcss-and William Hand Browne, of
Baltimore. It "is intended to supply a need
long felt at the South; the need of an organ for
Southern men of letters, and of a high cla s of
periodical literature for Southern readers," and
will "represent the South not as a party, but as
a people." Besides literature, art, nud science,
n will tempeiately d'scuss politics, In the higher
sense of the wore, and education, the Southern
people havlnif found "that they can no longer
trust the mental and moral training ot their
sons and daughter? to teacher and books im
ported from abroad." This number contains
26G octavo pages, aud has eiuht leading articles,
two of them political. "The Legal Status of
the Southern States" U a commentary on and
conclusions lrom the cases decided by the
United States Supreme Court during the war,
by Mr. UuskcII, late Attorney-General of Vir
ginia, and member of the Coulederale Congress.
Dr. Craven's "Prison Life of Davis" is made a
peg on which to hang a virulent and violent
accusation of tbe War Department lor the im
prisonment of Mr. Davis. Dr. Bledsoe contri
butes the leading attirle on "The Education of
the World," and Sir. William B. Keed, of this
city, a review of Earl Stanhope's "Life of
Pitt." "The Daughters of De Nesle" gives a very
entertaining account of the first three mistresses
ol Louis XV; aud a very severe and amusing
punishnieut is administered in another arti
cle to Mr. N. C. Brooks ft.r hU "Viri
America? lllustres," in which the almost innu
merable mistakes nud errors of that gentleman's
Latin style are pointed out. Two other papers
treat of "Craftsmen's Associations In France,"
and "Mental Physiology." Altogether the
Jievieio is less Southern than would be expected,
not in sentiment, but in style, which is, except
in one article, calm, temperate, and often really
good. In ideas it is somewhat behind the age,
as is natural, the South haviug be eu, iu great
measure, cut off from literature for the last Ave
years. Most of the books reviewed are already
old to the Northern public. The writer of
"Mental Physiology," for example, would doubt
less have written very dilfprently, if he had seen
the theories aud facts on that subject that have
been onblishf d in the Inst ten vears. his know-

Parisian Gossip. Of the two other, main
"attractions" of the moment, viz., the Advent
seimons of Father Hyacinth at Notre Dame and
the masked balls at the Opera, it will suffice to
say that in the last of the orations in question,
having for subject "Morality In its Relations to
Family Life," the fat old monk launched out
into such glowing and rapturous descriptions of
the delights of "Christian marriage' as seem
rather to have scandalized than edified his audi
tors; while the net profits of the last of the
much-denounced orgies of whirPngand folly in
the vast enclosure of the Rue Lepelle'tier
amounted to 25,000 irancs.
The other popular favorite, Theresa, ot the
Alcazar, is preparing to rejoice the ears of her
admirers by a return to the scene of her tri
umphs. The atlection ot the throat from which
she was said to be suffering has subsided, or,
according to unother version, w as merely a pre
text to enable her to rest her voice iu view of
her engagement for the period of the Exhibition,
during w hich the coiiec-house diva will receive
eight hundred francs per night. In acknow
ledgment ot the chapter iu M. Louis Veuillot's
late book, of which she is the subject, Theresa
will signalize her reappearance not by Rogomme,
not by La fieuvre, not even by V Etranqleuse,
but by on cntiruly new ditty called Lea Odevrs
de J'aris, composed lor the express purpose of
giving "tit" for the "tat" of the pious sledge
hammer. The persistent preference of the
u-ually tickle public of Paris for Theresa and
her songs, so excessively irritating to all who
stand up lor classicahty and "respectability,"
is shared by many who, in tfie judgment of the
latter, "ought to know better;" and among
others, by La Patti, who is one ot Theresa's most
enthusiastic admirers.and is frequently to be seen
iu her box at the Alcazar, braving the clouds of
tobacco smoke which till it, aud applauding
with might and main the extraordinary ballads
which Theresa has brought into vogue, aud
which, whatever may be thought of them from
a moral and philosophic point of view, aud as a
'sign of the times," are amazingly clever4 in
their own low way. Which prolound remark
reminds me that the numerous company of
scribblers belonging to the lighter divisions of
the literary army are just now excessively iu
dienant with the Academy, which, having to
elect a new member, is said to be intending to
name a respectable nonentity, M. Duvergier (de
la Hauranne), author of an uiuea.lable history,
to the vacant arm chair, and with the Academy's
perpetual secretary," M. Cousin, who, when
sounded In regard to the candidature of Jules

writers ot gossip, criticism, and ficticyi have
