A it Hy Rev. Dr. John McCllnlock an l .Tames Hlorey, 8. T. D. New York: Harper Brothers. Philadelphia Agent: J. K. toiinou, Houtli Sixth street. The large- volume before- us is the first of ft numberf Vlitolt r' to contain a complete cyi clopiedia of all religious knowledge. In its proportions the undertaking is gigantic; in the reaearuli displaced in the first volume, we see evideLce of the completed work being a great success. The laborious nature of the task can be best appreciated by examining the work itself. We have seldom, If ever, seen a more Stupendous literary undertaking. A history Of England is a mere bagatelle in comparison. The compilers and authors have little or no data to work upon. Almost every other work of great size has a nucleus around which additional facts can be grouped, and the work gradually grow to completion. Not so in the work before us. It is original in its nature; it has no precedent on which to base its facts or its arguments; 'audit promises not only to be the first of .its kind, but also, fy itjj complete neES,'t(J supersede the necessity Tot any simi lar work in the future. It is filled with cor rect and elegantly executed illustrations, and is arranged with a fulness and compactness combined "which "reflect infinite credit onjue author. It will prove an invaluable addition toevtfry religious library of all the religious denominations in the land. ' '. "j .' " Women's Work in thb Civil Wah. Hy If. P. RracKett. I'hlladelphla: Zelgler, MoCurdy t Co., No. 601 Arch street, t ,.j.t The volume before as covers a field of ex perience in the events of the late war hereto fore unoooupied. , We have all known of .the Yast aid, extended to the Union, cause by the Women of the North. We have all of us seen instances of their patriotic devotion and self sacrifice for the cause of the Union. But a full and complete work, containing all those who have secured a leading position by their emi nent sen-ices," was 'a desideratum not reached until the appearanoe of the work before us. It contains a slight sketch of all the ladies who held prominent positions, or were noted for their exertions to aid our soldiers. While the names of all patriotic women who 'ventured among the sick, and strove to alleviate their sufferings, can never be known, for their name la legion, yet the volume issued by Dr. Brackett ' is as full as possible, and ' most pleasantly written. It is not dry detail; it is a narrative of the most interesting order. It Is beautifully printed, with new . type, . and filled with excellent steel engravings, and is admirably stereotyped by Westobtt & Thomp son. It deserves to have a large sale." The Cflebb atbd Jumping Frog, and Otheb (Sketches. By Mara Twain. Philadelphia: American News Company. Although the title of this work is derived from! the first story it contains, yet the chief merit of the compilation is found in the follow ing sketches. The. "Jumping Prog" is not ex- quisitely funny. It is readable and original, and has a few oomio points, but it, and the greater portion of the volume, are attempts at wit, so forced and strained as to be unnatural. In our opinion, by far the best article is that on "Chambermaids," which, in order to do full justice to the author, we venture to repub lish as an extract: . ., . ; . ..- . "Against all chambermaids, of whatsoever age or nationality, X lauuoU me ourse of baohe lordom ! Because: - They always pnt the pillows at the opposite end of the bed from the gas-burner, so that while you read and smoke before sleeping (as is the ancient and honored custom of bachelors), you hove to bold your book aloft, In an uncom fortable position, to keep the light from dazzling your eyes. "When thoy find the pillows removed to the Other end of the bed In the morning, they receive not the suggestion In a friendly spirit; but, glorying In their absolute sovereignty, and un- fiitylug your helplessness, they mage the bed ust as It was originally, and gloat lu secret over the paDg their tyranny will cause you. "Always after that, when tbey find you have transposed the pillows, tbey uudo your work, and tuua defy and geek to embitter the life that God haa given you. "If they cannot get the light in an lnoonve nlent position any other way, they move the bed. "If you pull your trunk out six Inches from the wall, so that the lid will stay ud wben you open It. they always shove that trunk back again. They do it ou purpose. "If you want the spittoon In a certain spot, where it will be bandy, tbey don't, and so tbey move It. "They always put your other boots Into Inac cessible places. Tbey chiefly ei Joy depositing them as fur under the bed as the wall will per mit. It is because this coin pels you to get do wn In an undignified altitude and make wild sweeps for them in the dark with, the boot-Jack, and swear. "Tbey always put the match-box in some other p'lace. They bunt up a new place tor It every day, and put up a bottle or other perish able glass tiling, wuere uie uox iuu ueioro. This is to cause you to break that glass thing, groping In the dark, and get yourself Into trouble. "They are forever and ever moving the furni ture, when you corns in in the night, you can calculate on finding the bureau where the ward robe was la the morning. And when you go out in the morning, If you leave the slop-bucket toy the door and rocking-chair by the window, when you come In at midnight or thereabouts, you will fall over that rocklng-ctaatr, and you -will proceed towards the window and sit down In that slop-tub. This will disgust you. Tbey like that. "No matter where you put anything, they are not going to let It stay there. They will take It and move It the first chance they get. It Is their nature. And, besides, it gives them plea sure to be mean and contrary this way. Tbey Would die if tbey couldn't be villains. "They always save up all the old scraps of printed rubbish you throw on the floor, and stuck them no carefully ou the table, and start . the Are witu your t valuable manuscripts. If there is any one particular old scrap that you are more down ou than any other, and which you are gradually wearing your life out trying to get rid of, you may take all the pains you pofcblbly can in that direction, but it won't be of any use, because tbey will always fetch that old scrap back and put It In the same old p.ace again every Hue. It does them good. 'And thoy use up more balr-oll tban any six men. If charged with purloining the same, they lie about it. What do tbey care about a hereafter? Absolutely nothing.

THE , J) AILY i EVENITO;, TELEGRArnPniLADELPmA SATURDAY,! "They do alt the menu things they can think of, and they do tbein Just out of pure cussed ncsH, and nothing else. 'Chambermaids are dead to every human itiHllnct. "I have cursed them in behalf of outraged burhelordoin. They deserve it. If I cau got a bill through the I.i'glHlnlure abolishing cham bermaids, I mean to do II."-" This sketch is pungent because it is all true, aa any gentleman who has boarded 'at - any hotel can testify. The book is neatly published and wefl printed, but is inferior' to the other attempts of the author, especially that of travestying popular writers.. ,We hesitate, from prudential reasons, to name any particu lar travestie, lest we might inadvertently transgress a provision of that excellent but voluminous law to protect authors which Con gress has passed, and to which Mark Twain devotes himself as light reading. The last volume of Fronde's "History of England", contains a finely written, account of the Massacre of St. Bartholomew, which, for graphic description and veracity of details, has no superior in literature. On perusing it the blood runs cold, even at this distance of time from the occurrence. tfX .,.'; t -:f ' THB KIG11T OF ST. BARTHOLOMEW. .'Night bad not fallen. Guise and Aumale weresiill lurking lu the city, and came with the Duke of Monipenslor at Catherine's sum mons. The persons who were to be killed were in ill Mere nt parts of the town. Kaon took charge of a district. Moutpensler promised to f ee to the Falaoe ; Cititso aud hi undo under Juok the Admiral; and btlow tlieie, the word Went out to tbe leaders of the already organized sections, who had been disappointed onoe, but Whose hour was now come. The Catholics were to recogulzeoue another in the confusion bv a white handkerchief on the left arm anl a while Cross iu their caps. The Koyal Guard, Catholics to a man, were Instruments ready made for the work. Unite assembled the ollicers: be told them that tbe Huguenots were preparing to rise, and that the King bad ordered their In stant punishment. Tneolncers asked no ques tions, and desired no better service. The busi ness was to begin at dawn. The signal would be tbe tolling of the great bell at tbe t'alaoe of Jus tice, and tbe first death was to be Coligny's. . . The soldiers stele to their posts. Twelve hun dred lay along the Selue, between the river aud tue Hotel de Vllle; otuer companies watched at the Louvre. As the darkness waned, tbe Queen Mother went down to the gale. The silliness of the dawn was broken byan accidental pistol shot. Her bean sank, and sbe Bent olf a mes senger to tell Guise lo pause. But it was too late. A minute later the belt boomed out, and tba massacre of Hi. Bartholomew bad com menced. The Admiral was feverish with his wounds, and had not slept. - The surgeon and a Hugue not minister, named Malm, hud passed toe night with him. At the first sounds be Imagined that there was an emeiilt of the Catho lics at the Court; but tho eras i of his own gate, and shots and shrieks in the court below the window, toid him that, whatever was the cause, bis own life was in danger. He sal up in bis bed. "M. Malln," be said, "pray for me; I have long expected this." Borne of bis attendauts rushed halt-dressed Into tne room. "Gentle men, save ourselves," be said lo them; "I com mend my soul to my Saviour." Tbey scattered, escaping, or trying to esoape, by the roofs and balconies; a German servant alone remained with him. The door was burst open immediately alter, and tbe officer who was in charge of the house, a Bobemlau servant of Guise, and a renegade Huguenot soldier, rushed in wilb drawn swords. "Are yon the Admiral?" tbe Bohemian cried. e "I am, "replied Collgny;"and, young man, you should respect ray age and my wounds; but tbe term of my life does not rest In tue pleasure of such as tbou." - The Bohemian, with a curse, stabbed him In tbe breast, and struck hi in again on the bead. The window was open. - "Is it done?" cried Guise from tbe court below; "is it done T Fling him out, that we may see him." HUH breathing, tbe Admiral was burled upon tbe f avemeni. ' Tbe Bastard of Angouleme wiped he blood from his face to be sure of bis iden tity, and then, kicking him as he lay, shouted: "Bo far well. Courage, my brave boys I now for tbe rest.". One of the Duo de Nevers' people , backed off the- bead. - A rope was knotted about the ankles, and the corpse was dragged into tbe street amid the howllne crowd. . Te ligny, who was in tbe adjoining house, had sprung out of bed at the first disturbance, ran down Into the court, and climbed by a ladder to tbe roof. From behind a parapet be saw his father-in-law murdered, and, scrambling on the tiles, concealed himself in a parrel; but be was soon tracked, toru from his hiding place, and thrown upon tbe stones with a dagger in bis side, ltochefoucault and the rest of the Admi ral's friends who lodged in the neighborhood were disposed of in the same way, and so com plete was tbe surprise that there was not tbe most faint attempt at resistance. Montpensier hud been no less successful iu tbe Louvre. The staircases were all beset. Tbe retinues of tbe King of Navarre and tbe Prince had been lodged in the Palace at Charles' par ticular desire. Their names were culled over, and, as they descended unarmed into the quad rangle, they were hewn in pieces. There, In heaps, they fell below the royal window, under tbe eyes ol tne miserable King, who was forced lorward, between bis mother and bis brother, that he might be seen as the accomplice of the massacre. Mostof the victims were killed upon the spot. Some fled wounded up the stairs, and were slaughtered in the presence of the Prin cesses. One gentleman rushed bleeding into the apartment of the newly-married Margaret, clung to ber dress, and was hardly saved by her Intercession. By 7 o'clock the work which Guii-e and his immediate friends had under taken was finished, with but one failure. Tbe Count Montgomery and the Vldame of Chartres lodged in the Faubourg St. Germain, across tbe water, on the outskirts of the town. A party of assassins bad been sent to despatch them, but bad loitered on the way to do some private murdering on their own account. When the news readied Montgomery that Paris was up, he supposed, like Collgny. that the Catholics bad arisen against the court. He ran down the river's bauk with a handful of men behind blm, opposite -the Tullerles, in tending to cross to help bis friends: but the boats were all secured ou the other side. The soldiers shot at him from under the place. It was said it rests only on the worthless au thority of Brantome that Charles himself iu bis frenzy snatched a gun from a servant aud fired at him also. Montgomery did not watt a few others, sprang to their horses, roue for their lives, and escaped to England. The mob meanwhile was In full enjoyment. Long possessed with the accursed formulas of the priests, they believed that the enemies of God were given into their hands. Wbile dukes and lords were killing at the Louvre.the bauds of the sections imitated them with more suc cess; men, women, aud even children, striving which should be tbe first in the pious work of murder. All Catholic Paris was at the business, and every Huguenot householder had neighbors to know and denounce them. Through street and lane, and quay and causeway, the air rang wltb yells and ourres, pistol shots and crashing windows; the roadways were strewed with mangled bodies, the doors were blocked by the dead aud dying. From garret, closet, roof, or stable, crouohing creatures were torn suneaing out, ana staubea ana nacaea at; boys practised their hands by strangling babies in their cradles, aud headless bodies were trailed along the trottoirs. Carls struggled through tbe crowd carrying the dead lu piles to the Heine, which, by special Providence, was that morning in flood, to assist in sweeping heresy away. Under the sanction of the great cause, lust, avarice, fear, malice, and revenge all baa free Indulgeuce, and glutted themselves to nausea, liven the distinctions of creed itself became at last confounded, and every man or woman who bad a quarrel to avenge, a lawsuit to settle, a wife or husband grown lnoonve nlent, or a prospective inheritance if obstacles could be removed, found a ready road to the object of their desires. Towards midday aome of the quieter people attempted to restore order. A party of the town police made their way to the palaoe. Charles caught eagerly at their oilers of ser vice, and bade them do their utmost to put' tbe people down; but it was all in vain. The soldiers, maddened with plunder and blood, could not be brought to assist, and without them nothing could be done. All that after noon and n 1(4 lit. and the next day and ttie ort.r the horrible scenes continued, till the flames burned down at last for want of luel The numoer wuo imruuim in Hi ib computed variously at from 2UO0 to 10,000. In this as In all such iustauoes, the lowest eU mate la probably the nearest to the truth. I-BTTKR FI10M CUAELBS DICKEHS.
