Jly John William Drapor, M. V., LL. 1. In
three volume. Vol I. w York: Harper
Brothers, I'lilladelplila Ageuts: J. D. Dlppln
cott A Co. ,
Dr. Draper is familiarly known to the think
ing rnWi fcy tl9 rreyiou8 philosophical
treatise on "The Intellectual Development of
Europe" and "The Civil Policy of America."
This present work is written in that argu
mentative vein in which he excels, and will
materially add to his reputation as a profound
thinker. In the present production the author
intends to "write a history of the causes
which led to the civil war, and of the events
connected with it, considered not in a par
tisan, hut in a philosophical and Impartial
spirit." Of the manner in which the events
of the war will he treated we cannot speak,
as it is reserved for the succeeding volumes
to narrate the actual facts of the Btrugglo;
Imt so far as the causes are concerned,
we can commend the hook as a care
ful and dispassionate disquisition on the
potent iniluences which, after growing for
half a century, culminated In the bloody con
test so recently ended. The chief effort and
aim of the writer appear to be to explain the
failHre of the war, to a great extent, by what
Beem to us very insufficient causes. For
instance, the climate bears the great brunt o
the blame, and it is the thermometer and
barometer which are to indicate the approach
of political danger, and not the course of
publio men and the publio press. Again, we
find Dr. Draper placing the causes far back in
our history, in the early formation of the
Federal and Anti-Federal parties; and he care
fully and logically traces the seed3 of dis
union until they fructified into the war. The
work itself is of great interest for its lucid
reasoning, and of value because of the evident
care bestowed in its preparation. It is a most
valuable, and in many respects curious, addi
tion to our literature. It is published in the
usual handsome style in which the Messrs.
Harper get up their works.
The Man with this Brokkn Ear By
Kdouurd About. Leypoldt Allolt: Mew York.
Philadelphia Agent: Dullleld Afthmead.
This last of About's stories is, like its prede
cessors, founded on some strange freak in scien
tific theory. In 1859 a man was dessicatel
by a scientifio process. This dessication
consists in removing all the water out of
a healthy man and gently making him dry.
.When this is done, it is said that when
the moisture is restored the animation and life
will return. This operation had been per
formed on Colonel Songers, the hero of the
story. A peculiarity of the return to life
is that one recovers at the same age as when
the operation took place. The young man,
dead for fifty years, is restored to life in full
vigor, and appearing to be twenty-four instead
of seventy-four years of age.
Quite an amusing sketch is afforded by de
scribing the meeting between the Colonel and
his grandchildren, some of whom are older
than himself. His son is old enough to be his
father. The story is worked up in About's be3t
style, and is told in a very pleasant manner, al
though dealing in rather abstruse digressions,
for which French writers are noted. Had
an American happened to write such a work,
lie would have been ridiculed ; but as it is a
translation, its real merits can be acknow
ledged, aid it certainly deserves the judgment
of being a very pleasing production. It con
cludes by the hero applying for his old com
mand from Napoleon III, which is refused by
a sub-ofllcer, because it appears he is seventy
four years old above the age of actual ser
vice. He is found dead in his bed by a bearer
of despatches direct irom the Emperor, which
reinstated and promoted him despite the law.
It is handsomely published by Leypoldt & Holt

A very pleasant narrative of an experience
of three years in the champagne-manufacturing
district of France, is the little book be
fore us. It is delightfully original in nearly
all its statements. It tells us things which
we never knew before, and traces the rise of
the reputation of many of the wines now
drank so copiously by connoisseurs, in an
accurate and interesting manner. We do not
know liow to convey an idea of the book
better, than by giving the author's account of
the Heidseiok, Clicquot, and Itoederer
brands of champagne. It well illustrates the
value of intelligent and persistent energy, in
Order that success may be achieved in trade:
"At Rhelms, however, are to be found most of
the wine manufacturers whose names are la
inillarto the world. Here are the Koederers,
Cllcanots.thelleldsleclts, the Mumma and 1)
J '. St. Marceaux. Though these have generally
as II. Piper & Co., known as lleldslecic in the
ilnited btates, have only their counting-houses
lO that town, and their wine-vault at Kper
lAay. "The Heldsiecks, Plper-Heldsleclr. & Co., and
Charles lieidsieck & Co., are ail of the same
clan. It was, however, the predecessor of II.
l'lper&Co., a Heldsleck, who first gave cur
rency to the wine so well known la the United
fitates by that name. This enterprising house,
being the llrst of the wine manufacturers to
"Venture in what was then deemed the hazard,
ous trade with America, succeeded, while free
from competition, in obtaining such an exclu
sive and wide clrculRtlon for their merchau
dine, that the word Heldsleck became aynouy
' raousln the United Htales with ohauipague.
The latter was deemed superfluous; and some
twenty years ago, no one ever thought of say
ing more, when he culled for champagne, than
Ulve me a bottle of lieidsieck.' Ureal riches
Dave rewurded the enterprise of II. Piper A
Co., who are now among the largest and
wealthiest manufacturers, and have, apart
from the private fortunes of the various purt
uers and members of the family, a munufao
turlng and commercial establishment wieldinic
a capital of three millions of dollars. The
agents of the house In New York have shared
In the prosperity of their principals; and Ueg.
nauld & Francois, whose names are almost as
familiar as Heldsleck, are now enjoying, in
veritable chateaux of France, the results of
"With the real or affected connolsseurshlp that
baa come with the Increased wealth and
luxury of our people, a bottle of Heldsleck uo
longer please the taste of the fastidious. It Is,
however, one of the best ordinary wines that
are sent to our country, though too sweet for a
discriminating palate. It may always be re
lied upon an a wholciome .and pure wine, but
not of the 'hlgheat quality. Though now re
Jectfd by the Judicious tauter, Its traditionary
renown still secures for H the largest consump
tion by the gulping crowd. The other lleld
slecks. tliouijli far from having the success of
Ihelr better known predooensor, have disco
vered that there Is something In a name, and
profited accordingly.
"Though Piper & Co. (Heldsleck) have earned
their reputation and fortune bv their superior
commercial Judgment In anticipating the Im
portance of the American trade, most of the
other well-known manufacturers of cham
pagne have succeeded through more Irregular
mentis, or been Indebted to hazard for their
8urres.
"The famous champagno of Veme Clicjuol
Fonnarilin, which is so much esteemed In Kus
sla, and where it has been so profusely drank
for forty or fifty years past that its manufac
turers the noted Widow, Werle, the Mayor of
Rhelms, and the 'llaron de Hachs,' as he styles
himself, her partners have made such fortunes
as to rank them among the millionaires of
Kurope, owes Its success to chance. The
Widow Clicquot had been the wife of one Francois-Marie
Clicquot, 'an olllcer,' vaguely sayt
bis biographer, 'who had retired from active
service in consequence of bis wounds.' Cor
porator Sergeant Clloquot or whatever may
have been his rank was naturally of a convi
vial turn, and instinctively took to the wine
business.
" At this period.' (1798), we are told by his erj.
logistlc blourapher, 'the trade In white wlnoa
at lthelma was in the hands of mere rontlnists,
who were incapable of giving the least devel
opment to it.
" 'Mi Cllcqiiot.Jondowed with a lively con
ception and activity almost ardent, visited the
neighboring vineyards, went down Into all the
cellars, compared, weighed, meditated, and
then ilually laid the foundation of an eutirely
dlll'orent commercial system.
"Until then, the ellervesotng wines of Cham
pagne came only from the cellars of the Aboey
f Haulvlllers.
" 'M. Clicquot undertook that they should
also Issue from the cellars of Khelms; with this
difference, however, that while the monks
excellent drinkers Imbibed the most and best
of their vintage, Monsieur Clicquot, less
thirsty or less selfish, resolved to oiler his wines
to all the crowned heads of Kurope, of whom
he knew they were perfectly worthy.
'"While big with, his magnificent project,
death came and cut short the career of the son-in-law
of M. Ponsardln,' that is to say. M.
Clicquot, the former husband of the Widow
Clicquot Ponsardln, Common rumor at
ltheims tells a different story of the exit of this
notable personage, saying that he cut his
throat In despair of the success of the 'entirely
different commercial system' with, which his
biographer credits him.
"Madame Clicquot thus became Widow Clic
quot, and was left to carry out the magnificent
project which had originated In the 'lively con
ception and the activity almost ardent' of her
late husband. Though only twenty -seven years
of age, and 'with a daughter in the cradle who
became afterwards the Countess of Chevlgne,'
this heroio dame 'accepted with courage the
position that destiny had given her.' She
struggled on spiritedly, but with little success,
until the Invasion of France by the Allies
in 1815, when the Russians came thronging Into
Khelms and filled the cellars of the widow.
"'All the Kusblau officers commanded by
Saint Priest had lifted the champagne glass to
t heir lips. It was said t ven that many of them
preferred the 'popping of the bottles of Khelms
to that of the' cannon of the Emperor, and that
on the retaking of Khelms, about a dozen
prisoners were made who had been laid under
the table by the first and pacific artillery. At
the moment of the attack of the French troops,
there remained some drinkers but no soldiers.
These, dead drunk, had not heard the sound,
"To horse!"'
"When those officers returned to Saint Peters
burg and Moscow, they talked bo much of, und
f 'raised so highly, the delights of their debauch
n the cellars of the Widow Clicquot, that they
made ber name famous throughout Russia,
and gave her wine a currency which has made
her and her partners enormously rich.
"I knew Madame Clicquot, a dwarfish, with
ered old woman of eighty-nine years, whose
whole soul was In business, scanning over each
day to her last the ledger of the commercial
house to which she had given her name. Hue
died In 1866.
"The Clicquot wine Is made tosult the Russian
taste, which likes a sweet and strong cham
pagne. It 1m accordingly highly brand led and
sugared, and although doubtless generally made
of good wine, its qualities, whatever they may
be, are entirely smothered in the sweetness.
Unlike other bouses, that of the Widow Clicquot
never varies its wine to suit varying tastes.
A bottle of Clicquot In America Is the same as
a bottle of Clicquot In Russia or elsewhere.
The Clicquot wine Is fast losing prestige, and
will before long become obsolete. If not
adapted to the more discriminating taste of
modern drinkers.
"Louis Itoederer Co., who, during the last
ten years or so, have come into repute as the
manufacturers of a popular wine, are indebted
for their success to the usual means employed
by charlatans to create a demand for their
nostrums. Emulous of the fame of the Widow
Clicquot In Russia, they sent there a shrewd
German, who had become familiar with the
language and trade of thatcountry while travel
ling over it as a commis-voyayeur or bagman for
some trading-bouse or other of his native land.
Hot easily abashed, and of an Intrusive dispo
sition, he determined to make himself known.
With a meagre valise of his own, and au abun
dant supply of his masters' wine, which he dis
tributed profusely, he wus not an unwelcome
guest In a country where strangers are compara
tively so rare that their claims to regard are
hard'lv Investigated, and the thirst for wine
and strong drink so eager that anyone who
has them to ofl'er is readily reoelved. He thus
for many years travelled over and over Russia,
fiourlng out gratuitously into the vast and wili
ng throat ol the whole empire such quantities
of champagne, that the Roederers were nearly
made bankrupts by the expense.
"Alarmed by this profusion, which, having
already cost some hundreds of thousands, was
last beggaring them, the Roederers recalled
their costly traveller, who earnestly begged for
a Ultle respite. This being granted, be finally
returned to Rhelms. His object was accom
plished. He bad succeeded in so habituating
the taste of the Russians to the Itoederer wine,
and familiarizing them with its name, that
order after order was sent for it to Rhelms; and
the manufacturers from menacing poverty
were lilted suddenly tousKured wealth, of which
the prodigal traveller, being made a partner of
the house In reward for bis services, was per
mitted to participate. The house of I Itoederer
& Co., though for many years moving slowly
under the eare of Its founder, Schroeder, a
plodding German, now ranks among the largest
1 . I . L . 1 . . . f 1 I !..,..,.. , T' , .,..11 it
is said, 75,000 dozen bottles annually. The chief
consumption of the Itoederer wine In the
United States is at Boston. It Is one of the
best and most costly of the wines manufac
tured in large quantities, but, like all those
adapted to general consumption, la loaded with
sugar, tnat it may lie tootiifcome to ine masses.
The wine is sold under the two names of Itoede
rer, the present proprietor of the house, and
Schroeder, the original founder.
"A brand of champagne once extensively
made known, whether by legitimate enter
prise, hazard, or charlatanism, becomes a sure
source of wealth. The wine is bought and drank
on the mere strength of Us namu, without re
gard to its quality, and even In spite of Its bad
ness, lust as the much advertised and hurtful
panuceas of tne nostrum-venders are purchased
and swallowed by the credulous ana sunoriug
millions.

however, an enterprising wine dealer, who.
unnble to give the rnplil circulation ho dtfilroa
to his champagne, had long sought the Indorse
ment of some more popular name than his own.
His researches, which Ivad extended all over
France, during his travels for many years, on
the highways And lb the byways where his
eagerness for trade bad led him, were finally
successful. At a cafe In Strasburg he chanced
to be served with his nftor-dlnuer demi Uwte
and jictit-verre by a gare.on who was the fortu
nate p'KscsRorof the cabalistic name of Itoede
rer. Here wns the prize be had so long sought
In vain, and he secured It at once. Proposals
were made, and accepted by the not unambi
tious servitor, who, dulling his apron, and as
suming with true French facility the habili
ments and manners of the respectable ioureot,
passed with quick transition from serving
drink at Slrnsbiirg to making It at Rhelma.
"Hrlnglng with him no capital but his name
which, however, was worth more than hun
dreds of thousands of francs and that Judg
ment of wine which had been matured by his
long indulgence In the leakage of the cng or
the forgotten heel taps of Its customers, he was
installed us the partner of his fortunate dis
coverer, whose bouse was thenceforward known
as that of Tbeopblle Roederer Co.
"The original Roederers resisted to their
Utmost what they deemed a usurpation of their
rights, and appealed to the courts of law. It
wus decided that a man had a legal right to use
blsown name, whether for the purpose of Bell
ing or serving wine, or lor any other proper
business; but It was enjoined upon the new
Roederer that he should afllx to all his bills,
Invoices, and labels the date of the establish
ment of his house, in order to distinguish it
from that of the original one. In spite of this,
the publio constantly confounds the two, and I
myself have time and again seen at the table of
the Hotel du lAon d'Or. at Rhelms, would-be
connolsseuia who had been Imposed upon by
an artful and Interested farcon, smacking their
lips over an indifl'orent bottle of the false, and
loudly declaring that they recognized the flavor
of the better wine of the genuine Itoederer.
"Moet & Chandon, the Mumms, and Do St.
Marcenux have not as et, it is believed, been
Interfered with by any Importunate namesakes.
The Mumms at Khelms are branches of two
greatGerman houses, and may be always relied
on for a fair average wine. De St. Marceaux,
though of growing fame, has not yet. In the
United States, the reputation he merits. In
Rhelma he Is esteemed the most expert and
conscientious of manufacturers. Ills Judg
ment la deemed beyond appeal; and when a
connoisseur wants the best the country Is capa
ble of producing, and Is willing to pay for It, he
can surely get it of DeSt. Marceaux."
Cbiticaland Social Essays. Reported from
the New York Jfation. Leypoldt A Holt.
Philadelphia Agent: Duffield Ashmoad.
The present handsome volume, published
by Leypoldt & Holt, is comprised of essays se
lected from the files of the New York Nation
a periodical approaching nearest to the needs
of a community of matured taste of any other
published in this country. The contents of
the work are all of interest, and each contribu
tion is characterized by that purity of diction
and high thought for which the Nation has
secured so deserved a reputation. We are
really surprised at the value of this compila
tion. It is the cream of all the best produc
tions of the best newspaper writers of the
country, and makes a most pleasant book.
Many of our readers have doubtless perused
the Nation for themselves, but to all who have
not we recommend the publication before us.
The Nation is by far the best, if not the only
good literary weekly published in New York.
Sense and Nonsense. By Simon M. Landls,
jjuciur ui cuui nnu uuut. jruonsneu Dy mm
self. Philadelphia.
The title of this work Is calculated to con
vey a false impression. The first two words
of the name are utterly superfluous, for
the work itself is nothing but a wretched
compound of nonsense. It does not possess
any merit, not even that of being amusing.
It furnishes the most insufferable reading-
being the dullest species of words, words,
words" that we have ever met with. It
lacks all attempts at idea, and favors the
reader with a hash of all the odds and ends
of things in which no one takes the least
interest. The author is the man who preached
sermons at the old Walnut Street Theatre on
"The Church on Which the Rock Split."
and who, in his eager desire to reform the
population, charged ten cents a head for ad
mission. His knowledge of medicine and
divinity, judging from his addresses and books,
we would place at zero. The work is cheaply
published.
Fathefs AND Son. A Novel, By Ivan Serg-
belrvltcn xurgerer. Translated by Kugue
Schuyler. Leypoldt & Holt. Philadelphia
Agent: uumeia Asnmtau.
Russian literature, because its heroes and
heroines are possessed of names composed
entirely of vowels, or else of consonants, does
not possess great attraction for the novel
lovers, who dote on the euphonious in naming
their dramatis persona. Yet it is possessed of
force if not euphony, and many of the char
acters in the upper order of fiction are well
portrayed. The novel before us is one of the
best, and comes to us most strongly recom
mended by the criticisms of the French. It
contrasts the two last generations of Russians,
and shows the wonderful progress of the last
twenty years. It is decidedly a representa
tive work, and we can console our readers by
assuring them that most of the characters are
not possessed of names of more than ten letters

1HE UNION PACIFIC
RAILROAD COMPANY
Are now constructing a Railroad from
OMAHA. NEBRASKA,
Westward towards the Pacific Ocean, making with
Its connections an unbroken line
ACUOS3 THE CONTINENT.
The Company now offer a limited amount of their
FIlteT MORTGAGE BONDS,
Having thirty years to rnn, and bearing annual Inte
rest, payable on the first days of JANUARY and
JULY, In the City of New York, at the raie oi
SIX PER CENT. Ill GOLD,
AT
Ninoty Cents on tho Dollar.
This road was completed from Omaha 305 miles west
on the 1st ot January, 1867. and la lully equipped, and
trains are regularly running over It The Company
has now ou hand solllclent Irou, ties, etc. to finish the
remaining portion to the eastern base of the Rocky
Mountains, 212 miles, which Is under oontract to be
done Bep tern ber 1 of this year, and It is expected that
the entire road will be In running order from Omaha
to Ita western connection with the Central Paciila,
now being rapidly built eastward from Sacramento,
Cal., during 1870.
MEAN OF THE COMPANY.
Estimating the distance to be built by the Union
Paclfio to be 1BA5 miles, the United Stales Govern
ment Issues Its Six Per Cent. Thirty-Year Bonds to
the Company as the road la Mulshed, at the average
rate of about t'28,2so per mile, amounting to f 14 208,000.
The Company Is also permitted to Issue Its own First
Mortgage Bonds to an equal amount, and at the same
time, which BY SPECIAL ACT OF CONORESS ARE
MADE A FIRST MORTGAGE ON THE ENTIRE
LINE, the Bonds of the United States Mng lufcoiilt
note to them.
The Government makes a donation of 12,800 acres ot
land to the mile, amounting 20,032,000 acres, estimated
to be worth JO.OOO.OOO, making the total resources, ex
clusive of the capital, (118,416,000; but the full value of
the lands cannot now be realised.
The authorized Capital Block of the Company Is one
hundred million dollars, of which five millions have
already been paid In, and of which It Is not supposed
that more than twenty-five millions at most will be
required.
The cost of the road Is estimated by competent engl
neers to be about one hundred million dollars, exolu
alve of equipment,
PBOBPECTM FOR BUSINESS.
The railroad connection between Omaha and the
East la now complete, and the earnings of the Union
Pacific on the sections already finished for the month
ot May were (201,782. These sectional earnings as the
road progresses will much more than pay the Interest
on the Company's bonds, and the through business
over the only line of railroad between the Atlantic
and Pacific must be Immense,
VALVE AND SEtlBlTY OF THE BOSBS,
The Company respectfully submit that the above
atatement of facta fully demonstrates the security of
their Bonds, and as additional proof they would sug
gest that the Bonds now offered are less than ten mil
lion dollars on 517 miles of road, on which over twenty
million dollars have already been expenned. On 880
miles of this road the cars are now running, and the
remaining 187 miles are nearly completed.
At the present rate ot premium on gold these Bonds
pay an annual interest on the present cost of
NINE PER CENT.,
And It Is believed that on the completion of the road,
like the Government Bonds, they will go above par.
The Company Intend to sell bnt a limited amount at
the present low rale, and retain the right to atance
the price at their option.
