THE DAILY EyijNG TKLEGKAFII PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1868. LITERATURE. REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS. TnK Moo-T"N!c H WUkla Co' II on. Neva York: Harrer A Hroiherx. rnlladelpnla Agents: J. B. Llpplucott & Uo. Ever the moat startling of novelists, dealing ntlrely with the sensational, Mr. Collins hat at last surpassed himself, and stands forth as the author of one of the most ultra alariniog " werks of the dy. The plot of the work U the old fable that in one of the temples of India was a diamond the moon stone which was guarded day and night for many hundred years by three Urahmins. If it was removed, these devotees were sworn to give up their lives to the recovery of the lost treasure. The British army took the city in which the deity had his temple, and an officer took the moon stone to England. The three Indians follow it, and it is their pursuit of it there that the story tells to us. The narrative is given in the style of contri butions by various parties, each telling what he knows of the stone. It is consequently dis connected. The great secret of the whole work is, who stole it ? It Eeems that the stone was left by a nervous uncle to a beautiful niece, and on the first night of its being worn by her it is stolen. The niece, who h in love with Mr. Franklin Blake, act3 peculiarly, Is thought crazy, and insults Franklin. After infinite trouble it comes out that Franklin in ?us slcp stole the moon-stone. What beoanaa of it then f It seems that in his sleep he hid it, and it in turn was stolen from him by a cousin, who is depicted as thoroughly virtuous. The ceusin is murdered and the stone is never more heard of until it is reported as such in the house of the idol in the heart of India. Blake and the beautiful nieoe get married, and the "Moonstone" is concluded amid the jingling of bells. Such is the plot, and against it we must utter an indignant protest. In the first plaoe it is cruelly unnatural. If the scene had been laid in Barbary, well and good; but in England it is absurd. Iu the second place, it is disconnected. There is no want of plots. It is very loosely put together. In the last place, we do not have the thread of the fctory carried out so as to make a satisfactory solution of the problem. It is, in fact, a failure as a literary work, although it has its interest as a novel. A h and- Book of Politics fohISGS. ByErltvard McFuersou, LL.D. l'nllp & RJuloiaurn, Wann ing ton. The success which has attended the appear ance of the two previous contributions of Mr. McPherson on the political history of our country has induocd him to issue the present work, which is really invaluable. It contains the substance of his previous works, together with all the proclamations and platforms for the present year. As a manual of daily refer ence it is as valuable as it is as a political his tory. By an admirable system of indexing he has bo arranged all the parts that any of them can be fonud at once, and it will be hailed with great pleasure by the reading publio as a most opportune work. IIFE AND RKRVICES OFOENKRAL TJ. S. GRIN!, By Henry (Joppee. Rlclianisoa fe Co. PlnU tlelphU Agents: Claxton, Ketusea & liail'dl finger. The edition before us, authorized by a writer of real merit, is probably the standard history of the life of General Grant. Without detracting from the many and great advan- tages of other works, we must give to Profes sor Coppee great credit for industry and re search. The truthfulness of the military por tion is evidenced by General Rawlings, while the encomiums lavished on it as to the other portions, attests its reliability. It Is prefaced by an excellent portrait on steel. Farm Talk, by George E. Bracketi. Lee fc fchepparcl, Boston. Philadelphia Agents: Claxlon, Kern sen A HefXelflagor. In an allegorical and attractive form, the lit tle work before us endeavors to teach to the young people of the country the great and lm portant truths of farming. It does not do so jn a dry and abstruse style, but by mingling fami liar conversations with the instruction, teaches Without the learner having to study. By this means, to children and the uneducated, much more information can be communicated than by assuming to teach. We do not doubt but that the work will do good, and be welcome to many households. ItF-snuncKS of California. By John 8. tilitell. A. Roiner & Co. Philadelphia Agents, Q. W. PlUiber. The compilation of statistics made publio by Mr. Hittell is a useful work for Californians, and also for all those who take an interest in the resources of the far west. If it paints in too glaring colors some of the advantages of the Pacific coast, it is on the whole reliable, and much of its information is new. Pchlicatioks of E. H. Buti.bb & Co As publishers ef school-books of the highest order of merit, there is no house in the United States which can take the palm from Messrs. E. IT. Butler & Co. We speak advisedly when we say that their reputation in this specialty Is second to none. In addition to a very large edition of Serial Geographies by Mitchell, which are already in use in 10,000 schools, they are now engaged in publishing a moa valuable series of Spellers, by Joseph C. Mar tindale. They consist of three works, the Frimary, Common School, and Complete Speller, and are peculiarly adapted to our Publio Schools. We have examined these works, and can commend them for the sim plicity and excellence of system and thorough gradation from the easiest to the most difficult task. We have received from E. II. Butler & Co., an excellent edition of Cesar, with map and copious notes. It is by William Brigham, A. M., and is reliable, because of the fullness of the explanation and notes which abound throughout the work, and explain the text. J. C. Garrigues sends ns the "Teacher's Guide to Palestine," by Mr. Ocborn. It is intended to aid Sabbath-school teachers in thir explo rations of the geographical positions of plvs referred to in Scripture, and will prove a most valuable work. "Foot Prikts of Lifb" is the title of a practi cal effusion of Dr. Philip Harvey, and whloh is published by Wells, N. Y. . It is intended a? a defense of Phrenology and its kiudred sciences, and is a curious mixture of anatomy and poetry. So curious as to be, in many places, decidedly amusing. "IIobacb Wildh" is a little religious story published by J. B. Lipptnoott & Co., and writ ten by Mrs. M. J. Matlery. ' Its moral is ex cellent, and the style is pure and fresh. We commend this little tale to the Sabbath Schools as a welcome addition. THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS. A IMmonsslon on Tliclr Nurture Ucoloxy, in tlio Aittiomil Ai'iulviiiy l Ncleiicvn. The New York Times letter, describing the last day's session of the National Academy of Sciences, at Northampton, Mass., contains the following:- A paper was read on "Some Points in the Surface Geology of the Region West of tlie Kooky Mountains," by J. D. Whitney. No subject has been to much diicuse4 of late years as the "drift." The great experience of Professor Whitney enable him to present this subject with acceptance. Previous dis cussion lias related to tlie region east of the Rocky Mountains. In California there is no true northern drift, no transport of material in one general direction. The transportation has been of a local character. In the Sierras are numerous traces of aucieut glaciers. The area occupied by them is very limited, and the work performed has been in significant. None of them were south of 3G deg. 30 min. of latitude, extending northerly about one-third the length of the State. The traces of the extinrt glaciers have been beautifully preserved, and nowhere can the phenomena be more easily studied. The test development of them was iu the Tuol umne valleys. There were three general areas of these glaciers in Central California, Oregon, and British Columbia. Existiug gla ciers extend as far south as latitude 53 deg., at the altitude of 8000 to 13,000, aud are found abundantly in British America and Alaska, but do not occur in the United States proper. There are no glacial markings iu the high Northern latitudes, except about the high mountains. The great Northern drift of the East does not extend much west of the Mississippi, and theiefore the area occupied by it in the United States is not more than a tenth of its surface. The extinct glaciers of Washing ton Territory approach the sea level near Van couver's Island. The subject of the formation of lakes was then introduced. Professor Whitney disagreed with the views of Ramsey, who thought gla ciers were the chief agents of lake erosion. Lakes were not of necessary occurrence iu glacial regions, and there were great numbers of lakes in regions like British Columbia and Russian Europe, where no traces of glacial action can be found. Lakes are dependent upon meteorological conditions. There must be a surplus of rainfall. Nevada was once covered by a wonderful network of lakes, but they dried np for want of rain, and their bottoms are ocoupied by the "alkali flats." The great chain of lakes in North America, from Erie to the Arctio Ocean, occupy a geolo ci al depression not due to special erosion. They are in a belt of country two hundred miles wide, and parallel to the Rocky Moun tains. The ground was maintained that an in dented court is an evidence of submergence. These indentations have been called Fiords, from their local name in Sweden. None of them are to be found on the western Ameri can coast north of Chili, but they would be abundant in California if the surface should sink a thousand feet. None of these fiord are found in the tropics, and they always occur where high land borders the sea, and the in dentations are on the west sides of the ridges. Inasmuch as water has been bo powerful au agent of erosion in California, where the work performed by ice has been Very slight, Pro fessor Whitney has been led to esteem of more consequence the action of the former. Professor Newberry described a great lake thatonoe existed between the region of Lake Superior and New York, and suggested that some of the lakes of Oregon had been drained by natural causes. Mr. Gabb thought that the lakes of Oregon and Nevada had disappeared by simple drying np. lie remarked that he had recently ex amined some of the clays said to have been produoed during the drift period in South America by Professor Agassiz, and found ma. rine fossils in them. As these speoimens came from a locality five hundred miles fur ther np the tributaries of the Amazon than Agassiz penetrated, he thought the views of Agassiz incorrect. Professor Guyot thought the faots presented by Professor Whi.ney confirmed bis own theory of the glacial peiijd, that the cold was chiefly due to meteorological causes. When the amount of precipitation iu the winter is so great that the heat of the summer oannot melt the ice, then we have the conditions requisite to produce a glacial period, and tue faot of the restriction of the ice to the eastern part of the continent was favorable to his theory, lie showed the close relations of the European and American drift by pointing out on the map the proximity of the two fields. They covered the eastern part cf the latter and the western part of the former continent. lie did not think that many of the lake basins of the world had been excavated by glaciers. A view had been suggested by Bill, of Ca nada, to the effect that rock might have been excavated by the falling of torrents into ice crevasses very much like a boring apparatus. A modification of this view, proposed priva'ely by Shaler, added the effect of heat from below. The tfl'ects of ice would prevent the radiation of heat from below, which might melt the stratum of the ice, aud this water, in the effort to ercape to the surface, might excavate some of the solid ledgts. Some of the curved lake basins might have been partly excavated by the solvent action of water, dissolving the carbonate of lime and carrying it off down stream, lie also pointed out the difference between the wearing out of a perpendicular gorge and a wide valley. The former would be excavated by a current, flow ing directly onward without any accessions of volume; the latter presupposes the existence of abundant rains, washing down the upper edges of the banks. Tremendous (.lacier Full Neur Cliaiiiouulx. The Corrier ddle AIpe gives the following account of the fall of a glacier at Blatiere: "Last Monday, at 3 in the morning, a dnnae cloud spread itself over the valley of Clia- monnix. Thunder was heard, aud its roar awoke the whole village, the inhabitants of which directed their looks towards (he peak of Blatiere, where a cloud of Bmoke was observed on the crest of the mountain which supports the glaoier del Pellegrini. All cried out that it had given way. The peasants of the valley ran to and fro to secure their cattle, and all contemplated in amazement the most stupen dous fipto'aole evr sen in tin valley, of Chaniouulx. Tbe commotion caused ty this immense avalar.che was iudescribable. It carried away iu its passage pines, bridge', and deserted oottages.until it reached the cascade of Dard, the roar of which was deafeaing; it then took a different coarse from that of the torrent, and opening up a new route for itself it rushed on to the meadows and gardens of the Royal Hotel, destroying whob crops of rye and potatoes. After haviDg distributed itself over the meadows wherever it found an outlet, the great mass formed an immense lake which for some time will tie the admiration of visitors to Cbamouuiv. This is one of the rarest occurrences that has ever taken place in the valley." ENGLAND. Capital on ,,Slrlk' o ('oniltlrncc :! n New In vestment. FVoni the London 7tmes of Aug. 18. With consols at 04, with money In abundnnco amounting to a trlut, with a wheat harvest uo ve t lie aveiaec, with pe.ice abroul and tranquillity nt borne, we certauily oujrlit to be don well. Tnerc is no rea.nn at first S'cht why tra'le Bl.onM not be busk, lubnr n demand, and work well remunerated. Unfortunately, things are not exactly fo. Trade does, it (Iced, as we ttb.tll presently observe, show pleus-nnt e.wuptoms of levhal, but It Is still not active, umi the teauircs of the ruoncy market aie as jet drlisive.

Whrti it was me no I four or ove yours aun that the Kngliab. funds would never asam be above UO, theie was reason, though, as it ap pealed, not truth, in the doctrine maintained. Vbut was meant by the a9-ertiou was that in the new field ot finance opened up under the ope ration ot limited liability investments otfi'rr.g 0 or 7 per cent. wouM bo t-o plentiful, and pruc tically so ate. ns to draw aay money from sec urities yieldina only halt that rale ot interest. Kven cautious inventors would gradually be nttiac ed to speculations of such promise," and. the peueral decline of ihc demand tor the public stocks of tbe kinadom would lower their value from the recorded average ot )2jj to DO at the outbiue. We repeat, there was ieu-.ou ia these views, but the conclusion was upset by the extravagance to which the new system was carried. The inveb'ments of 1863 did but con fiim the old adaare, and i-Lcvtbut ' -good interest meniis bad security ;" the experience of 1868 alarmed people betond all nieair and the result is that In 1868 mouev, tusted of beius applied to ihe lcuima e development of our industrial resourcs, Iseither crradt"in?ly poured into consols or kept unemp'oved Iu immense nmonnt8 till confidence and opportunities may at length return. Of this b'ippy cc nsumiiiatinu we think a glimpse may bii caught in tbe trnde reports which appeared in our last na pretsion. The prospect, as It appears to up, is none tbe less t-utisiuoory tor beine; at prei-vnt only niooera cly brliht. Iu wea'.ner piognostics it is always held that the more jii'uduat the rise the more prrmnneot will be the elii-cis, and the i-amc rule may hold go d lu the viciGeitudes tiLd fluctuations of trade. The ti uih is tbe effects ot the last paoic Lave been beyond all precedent or expectation, though not, it may be assumed, beond tue mamluae ot thccuae. It must be remembered that tbe pressure was felt long after the crisis. The collapse of one concein after another was followed, not only by Ihe immediate loss of capital, but by a succession of calls lor further contribu tions. Limited liability, us actually em plojed, had proved a euare, tor though ihe responsibility of a rbarebolder was indeed "limited'' tbe bounds were still wide enough to admit of ruin. Unconscious investors irnaglued thut their liabilities were limned to the sums they bad paid down, without thinking that they were still answerable to the full amount of their p hares. The actual embarrstnen's thus pro duced and protracted couopired with the puolic alaiui to generate a distrust which has appeared almost iutermmahle, so that not only in this country, but in France likewise, enormous Bums of money have been a lowed to lie Idle iu the banks while trade and industry have languished lor want of aliment and supplies. Nothing couid show more forcibly the timidity of capital. The argument that canital after all, is as much in need of employment as labor, b is been found of no practical weight. True, the owners of money who will not employ it get nothing for it: but to this tor a time they are content to submit, and tor a louger time, indeed, tban could hate been imagined. In tact, tbe state of things wa9 tuirly described by the asser tion that capital, in its turn, was "on strike," It has been "on 6tnkc" lor these two years, and thoueh capitalists have suffered like all other ftrikers. it Is but now that they have made any silMi ot comiLB in. Tbe problem'bi-tore us is of in calculable itnporiauce tl it could but be thought out and solved. Inle capital means unemployed labor end siaenaat traoe, and wbat these mean iu iheir efect9 upon the public welfare we need rot Fay. It woul t be far better for the country that money should be dear than that it should be caeap in the senpe in wbica it is cheap now. In reality, not withstanding Its quoted value, It is still so dear as not to be hud bv or dins ry dealers at ny price whatever. That very limited class ot dealers whose proposals satigly the ex pectations of the frightened cipitalist may have what they want at a nominal price: but to tbe great boil v of dealers the market it altogether closed. What is wanted now is such a "demand tor money" as will draw out the supply. A demand for money implies that there is promi sirg employment for It in other words, that there will be employment for labor too. We trust we may at length be reaching this condi tion. Three years ago we went too fast and too far.' Money was lent purely on the promise of interest and without sufficient rare for security. Such terms of course created an affinity of speculation, and eave tor a time an incredible impetus to trade. Then came the inevitable catastrophe, and after it such an enduring terror as was never before known. Let us hope that tbe quiet aud eradual brietitea lne of the commercial horizon now at length discernible may indeed be tbe oawn of a happier time. 'J here is no want of money iu the country, only want ot confidence in fact, the accumu lations ot the last two years are ready fir use when the opportunity returns. For that opportunity we have anxiously waited, and it is truly to bo hoped that it may be now at hand. Ill-Xalured Proverbs. A writer in the London Quarterly Review says: "Unamiable features and character istics often stamp the proverbs of particular nations, and such we are sby of reproducing. Thus the Italian makes a merit of revenge, and his proverbs teem with justification of de ceit and guile to accomplish the gratification of that passion. Aruhbishop 1 rench gives us this instance: 'Wait time and place to take your revenge, fer 'tis never well to be iu a hurry;' and it may be paralleled by bandfula of such as these: 'lie who cannot revenge himt eif is weak, he who will not is contempti ble;' and 'Who offends writes on sand, who is offended on marble.' Perhaps, too, in these which follow: 'Thank you, pretty pussy, wa3 the death of my cat,' and 'lie laughs well that laughs last,' there lurks a Justification of gloz ing woids and of 'bidiDg one's time,' for the evil purpose of compassing the most un christian of triumphs. In Spauish proverbs the worst feature seems to be a tendency to sneer at womankind, the gallantries of his countrymen having rendered the Spaniard skeptical as to female worth and virtue. 'A woman and a mule,' he says, 'must be made handsome by the mouth,' i. it. 'with good keeping.' 'For whom,' he asks, 'does the blind man's wife paint herself f' Apropos ot the birth of a daughter, he has a proverbial expression, 'Alas 1 father, another daughter is boin to you' 'daughter' being apparently a ' synonym for 'misfortune.' But he out herods llerod when he cherishes a law like this o.n the same topic: 'Three daughters and a mgtLer are four devils for the father. " Centeim'ul Celebration at Mason, N. II. The citizens of Mason, N. II., celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of the organiza tion of their town on the 2o'th instant. The town is situated on the southern border of New Hampshire, at the present terminus of the Peterboro' and Shirley lUilroid, which branches from the Pitchhurg at Grotou Junc tion. In territory it is about six miles squire, and it is dividtd substantially into two com munities or settlements, known as the Ceutre and the village. The orator of the day, John B. Hill, one of the venerable citizens of the town, seventy two years of age, and favorably known as the author of the "History of MasoD," commenced his address with the statement that just one hundred years ago Obadiah Parker left the town of Mason for a journey to Portsmouth, being instructed by a vote of the citizens to procure in their behalf from the Proviunlil Governor, John Wentworth, an act of incorpo ration as a town. The circumstances uuder which tbe joutney was made through the tbeu all surrounding wilderness, and the formali ties necessary in the conduct of the allair with his Majesty's august representative were de picted, and the cost of obtaining the franchise as recorded on the town books, was stated to be JL12 Us. (J'd. it had been voted to have tbe town called Sharon, but it was decided by the Governor, and agreed to by the delegate to name it Mason, iu honor of Captaiu John Mason, the original grantee of lands in New Hampshire. The orator then exhibited and read the document which Parker brought back, which ia in a good state ot preservation, and bears the date ot August 2d, 17C8. The town of Mason, he said, had been the birthplace of two nieu ot world-wide celebrity in the inventive arts Jonas Chickeriug, the piano manufacturer, and Walter A. Wood, in ventor of a mowing machine, for which he had received the grand prize, and had been decorated with the emblmu of the Legion of Honor at the Paris Exhibition. In conclusion he denied the decadence of New England, in which some profess to believe, aud stated the reasons for th view he took. He affirmed the belief in her future prosperity in agricultural interests, and took occasion incidentally to advocate the growth of forest trees upon the rocky hilhides. One-third of the territory should be devoted in this way, he thought, and it would prove to yield a return which would be satisfactory to the most greedy money-lender. At the close of the oration the "Song of Jubilee" was suBg to the tune of "Champagne Charley," the solo being finely rendered by Mrs. Lucien P. Field, of New York, a native of Mason. She was acoompanied by Miss Lila Laikin, of Townsend Ceutre. A well written poem of an historical character was then read by Rev. E. R. Hodman, which was fol lowed by a series of chronicles, Iso of a local historical character, aud conceived in a sport ive vein. These were read by Charles E. Hill, an nnder-graduate of Dartmouth, and their character will be indicated by the clos ing invitation to the now awaiting dinner at the tent, as follows: "Lo, the meat offerings and drink offerings are ready, and the royal Chamberlain waits to hasten you to the ban quet. This day is Soripture revealed unto you. He that hath a purse let him take it, likewise his scrip, for the mouey-ohangers await your coming. Stay yourselves with flagons, and be comforted with apples. To your tents, O Israel 1" Accordingly Mr. Chamberlain, aa Marshal, conducted the party to the tent, where Mr. G. W. Soripture, caterer, had provided an abundant collation. SHIPPING. The FascalOieAvton Controversy. NEW EVIDENCE AGAINST M. CHASI.ES. The Paris correspondent of the London Slur says: ''The publio ia sufficiently acquainted with the monstrous forgery patronized by M. Chaeles, of the Institute, with a view to rob our immortal Newton of the merit of his great discovery of universal attraction, and attri buting it to Pascal. M. Leverrier, the astrono mer; M. Henri Martin, the historian, and all high-minded Frenchmen, have rejected the idea with scorn, after adducing the strongest possible scientific arguments against it; but M. Chasles sticks to it with the tenacity of a shaik, and in the teeth of the clearest evi dence. This accounts for the sensation created by a woik which has just appeared, by M. Faugere, entitled, 'Defense de B. Pascal, et Accessoirement de Newton, Galilse, Montes quieu, etc, contre les Faux Doouments, pro tenths par M.' Chasles a 1' Academic des Sciences.' On perusing it, one is at a loss to conceive how M. Chasles can venture for a moment to resist the overwhelming evidence brought against him, though there is little doubt that, with his usual importurbable bold ness, he will stigmatize his P.u-ersary's really learned works as absurd, and hold np his own trumpery to the world as the 'real Simon Pure. "M. Faugere, who holds a high position at the Foreign Office, edited Pascal's 'Pensees' in 1844, from the original manusoript of the Bibliotheque Imperial, and consequently knows Pascal's handwriting as well as his own. On that occasion, baring accidentally met with a spnrions signature, believed to be Pascal's, be published a fac simile of it by way of comparison with the real one. This false signature is the one appended to the forged letters attributed to Pascal by M. Chasles, and there is consequently the strongest presump tion that these forgeries do not date further back than 1844, so that all the suspicions heaped npon Desmaiseaux, as having origi nated them abont 1740, falls to the ground. M. Faugere does not content himself in his present work with publishing fac similes both of forged documents and of authentio ones to be compared with them (needless to add, there is not even ia the former au attempt at imita tion). "After reminding the reader that M. Chasles has constantly refused to say from whom he got his forged trash, and that when M. Faugere propoBta thai the Academy of boiences should nave the handwriting exainiued by the direc tor of the Imperial Library and his colleagues, M. Chasles flatly refused on the absurd plea tLat those gentlemen were not competent judges. M. Faugere proceeds to show that the man who committed the forgery not ouly made up his documents, with scraps of letters written by others, and published long ago, but neither followed the orthography of tbe time nor even the style; and that he used many ! words of recent growth. In short, there can -! not be a fuller refutation than this work oou j tains of M. Chasles' waste paper. Rumor 1 (perhaps inspired by himself) asserts that he paid X'4(J00 lor it, and that his present obsti nacy is mainly owiug to fits desire of keeping up tLe marketable value of this gigantic mass of rubbith."
