THE DAILY BNiKG TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1868. LITERATURE. 11KVIEW OF NEW BOOKS, pr A rsTcns r To-dat. By Mrs. C. Jenkln. rabllehed Leypoldt & nolt. Th title of this itory is not the most felioitoas that ooald iaTO been chosen, although the authoress at tempts to Justify it by comparing her heroine to the Teyche of the lovely old Greek legend, who she takes to be "an eternal type of young womanhood when she left her home to follow the young god." The Psyohe of the old story was a type of the soul purified and sanctified ly love, while in the pathetic tale of modern life whioh we hare under no. tioe the sonl of the heroine is crashed and broken because the lore npon which it relied proved illnsionary and unreal. The story, however, is one of far more than nsnal merit and interest, and, without obtrasiveness, the moral is one that cannot easily be mistaken The scene is laid in France and the characters are French, and although the authoress ia, we believe, an English woman, her style is cha racterized by that peouliar graeefulness whioh is so attractive in French writings of thia lass. The various characters are drawn with nice discrimination, and the heroine Regina may almost be considered a dramatio creation. Throughout the work there are passages Whioh show close observation and study of human nature and fine powers of mental analysis: passages which fix themselves in the mind as pregnant truths whioh are worthy of earnest consideration. The story shows the dangers, misfortunes, and wickedness of mere marriages of convenience, where there is no real reciprocity of affection between the parties. "While the story is decidedly French, both in style and substance, the subject is treated with the utmost delicacy, and it is entirely free from any of that disposition to trespass on the bounds of propriety, or to gloss over and apologize for sin, which is the bane o' most of the best French writings of this class' We can recommend the book as one of real Interest, and as likely to leave impressions of a pure and ennobling character on the mind of the reader. Thb Pi-esidicide, a poem by J. Dunbar Hylton, M. D. One of Keats' reviewers, at the conclusion of a slashing criticism of his "Endymion," advised him to go back to his gallipots. If we took the same course with the author of "The Prifaidicide" he might revenge himself npon us by some day becom ing famous, and thereby confounding us with that large class of critics who are unable to appreciate rising genius. Let Dr. Hylton, therefore, continue to write verses, but let him sot print them until he has obtained a more impartial judgment than his own that they are worthy of the honor of being plaoed before the reading public The scene of the the well, poem, for the want of a better word, is laid in the barn to whioh Booth made his escape after the murder of President Lin coln, and it endeavors to give the moBt strik ing events in the history of the conspiracy down to the night when Booth and his associ ates set out on their march of murder. Dr. Hylton has chosen the ooto-syllabio verse as the medium of his narrative, and a few speci mens culled at random will give a better idea of his poetical abilities than any description from our pen. Here we have Booth in medi tation. "Ho! Ho! what form was that I Saw All clad In robes of white! That just now crossed this dismal floor W litre came yon flash of light? Was It, Indeed, a Human form, Or spirit of the dead ? HlB stature was tall and stately, And wide his shoulders spread, And bis eyes they shone like Are, Yet noiseless was his tread. But I have seen that form before, And that bold, open stare, Yea, a hundred times and more Just as I saw It there. They're the features and the form Of the noblest man on earth, Wore than Washington and Utcsar In glory and In worth." The spectre works on the feelings of the assassin, and he gives vent to his emotions in the following language, which indicates the medical training of the author more than it does his possession of the divine afflatus: 'Hell and devils ! what thoughts are these, For one so steeped la crime ? One who must bear the curse of man Until the end of lime ? Hell and fiends l what strange thoughts fill The mind of one so low; What care I for spirit or for man, In this my hour of woe T "What care I if his arteries, Capillaries and veins, Be oountlesaas the panting streams Of Basra's spacious plains 1 What care I how the crimson tide Throughout their winding flows t Or for Us Maker's fearful skill Each thew and sinew shows T ' For I have slain the noblest man That e'er the sun shoue on; He who in worth and honor's path A guiding meteor shoue." And considerable more to the same purport. The following pen-portrait of Mrs. Surratt is unique of its kind, and we give it as a con cluding speoimen of Dr. Uy lton's verse: "There came a knocking at the door, And Dame Snrratt walked in All bloomlug like a morning rose That in some well-watered garden blows, . And every eye might win. HQe was a hearty buxom dame As ever trod the earth, As full of spirit, wit, and game, As any yet who smiling came From scenes of spirit and mirth. Bbe was that st .nip or woman-kind That -seldom in this laud we And, "ho wear their youthful bloom i en wheu they grow old in years, And are not crowned with hoary hairs When verging on the tomb; The very stamp lor which old men Orow young, and warm and frisk agen, And burn wttu guilty love, Fired with passions wild and keen; Like those old twain who once were seen Kmeiglng from the grove, LustiuK for fair Susannah's charms; ' Burning to clasp her in tbolr arms Though weak with age they strove." The peculiar appropriateness of the last allusion we do not exactly see, but we would be the last to hedge about genius with undue restrictions, and we therefore take our leave of "The Pracsldioide" by reminding the author of Ovid's aphorism "Poeta naseitur, non fit," and that Pegasus cannot be driven in harness like a dray horse, unless a skilful hand holds the ribbons. H. W. Deeoher has become a member of a frlflteri' Grant Cviiw ciftbt DRAMATIC ITEMS, Mr. Fairelongh, an Amfrlran actor, md? his Actmt at the Lyceum Theatre, In London, eu the 29th of Aucust, In the cliaracUr of "Ham let." He is said to have mud a hit, judging Irom the favorable notices be has receirei from the press. The DaVy Nevt$ say of him "Bis merits are great, but pot striking, aud Are more elocutionary than dratna'tc. His reading ia somewhat conventional, with a few peculiari ties of emphasis which are transatlantic; but his performance is marked by great Intelli gence and occasional force, which Hen to pro mise that he will be useful in other branche of the drama. In America, we believe, he was not very successful, probably because he is more refined than most American tragedians who have found their way to this country." The le'egraph says: "The unobirutilve man ner in which the new American actor bat come before the play-Kolng public of the British metropolis is perlectlj in accordance with the undemonstrative nature of his performance. Mr. Fairclotigh selected the most diQicult em bodiment ol the test of his abilities: and it Is something to ay that his assumption of 'Hamlet' was sufficiently deserving of the favor with which it was received by a crowded and somewhat critical audler.ee. Unlike many who hate brought with them from the western shores of the Atlantic a strong accent, a boiste rous stjle, Hnd a notable extravagance of ges ture, the new Amerienii trapediau delivers the Buokcspcareian text with a pure intooation, a quiet emphasis, aud a carefully subdued manner. Ividently an actor o; mature experience, Mr. Faircloujih shows that he has been aUo a thoughtful student of the poet." The cast con tained another American actor, who also made his fiist appearance in London as "Claudius," Jlr. Frank Lawler. The scond season at Selwyn's new theatre, the Mot ton Wallace's, opentd most auspiciously on Monday evening, September 7, with that geeminjrly immtrtal old Bnelish comedy The Belle's Stratagem. The houpe was crowded and enthueinstic, and the performance is highly eulocizcd by the Boston critics. 8even new members of the company were introduced on this occasion: Miss Fanny Morpnt, Mr. Thomas Barry, Mrs. T. M. Hunter, Mr. 0. H. VauderholT, Mr. (i. D. Billings, Mr. J. 1. Bradford, and Mr. H. L. Bascomb. Mr. Robinvon, lormcrly of Wallace's, was "Doricourt;" Mr. VanderholT was "Flutter," and Miss Moraut was "Mrs. Kacketts." Mr. Selwjn aud Mr. Barry, stage managers, made speeches. Loita closed her engagement at Wallack's on Saturday niht in Lut'e Nell and the Mar chioness. The. hnuse was crowded in every part. Bsautitul floral oll'srinijs conveyed to the'youni? actress the iarewell greetings of many lrieuda. "Hood bje, Lotta," was written in vioiets oione of these oflerines. Called out at the end of the piece, Lotta made this speech: "Permit me to say that I thank you a thousaud and a thousand times. Good bye 1" Lotta goes nest to Boston. A new convention has been entered into between the managers of the Opera and the Fretich Society of Pramattc Authors and Com posers. By this authors are to receive twelve per cent, of the pross receipts of the theatre, subject to no deductions wha'.ever. The mana gers bind thenibclvea to produce twelve new acts dutiug each year. Frauleiu Fanny Janauschek has arrived In New Ytrk with her iiew company ot Gcrmau Eerfcuuiera. Frauleiu Jtuiaufcuek will tnnke er first appearance this season at the Academy of Music, in that city, on toe 6th of October. Mie refused an encasement, for 12,000 florins, at the Imperial Theatre, Vienna, just before setting out for the United mates. Mad'lle Sara Dowe, who has talcen the place Of Menken at the Paris Cnatelet theatre, has neither the beauty nor the notoriety of her pre decessor, but her pantomime is said to be striking, and her lace is Baid to have quickness and expression. Miss Magpie Mitchell's engagement at Wood's Metropolitan Theatre, New York, Is to extend to September 28. The receipts of the Dew establishment steadily increase, showing that it prows in popular favor. It Is notable that the audiences there are of a refined char acter. Miss Ljdia Thompson, who is to appear next mouth at Wood's Theatre, New York, has been on the stage since 1851, and has been continuously successful. Miss Thompson was born in London on the 19th of February, 1841. The new comedy, "1868," lately heralded by a mysterious ciicalar, will be produced on Wed i.esday evening next, at the New York Tkeatre, by the Worrell Sisters. Theatrical matters in Paris are dull. Boxes at the Grand Opera are in little demand. Faust will be biought out there, with Nillsou as "Mar garet." Professor Rtbley's Japanese company is ex. citing the greatest enthusinm in Madrid. One of the Madrid papers declares that European acrobats cauoot compare with the Japanese. The Surrey Theatre, London, was to have opened on the 6th, with a new drama by Watts Phillips', entitled Land Uals and Water Bats. Heller, who Is so well known here as a con juror, is performing very successfully at the Prince of Wales Theatre, London. Miss Bateman will play "Lady Macbeth" and "Biatica" during her present London en gagement. The greatest of Spanish actor9, M. Julian Roniea, died letely at tho watering-place of Iyecbes. , M. J. Sterling Coyne, the English dramatist, left about 6000 of personal property by his will. MUSICAL ITEMS. An Italian journal remarks on the circum stance that three opera houses are about to open the season with one ot Signor Petrella's works; the theatre Breecia with Valerina lloward; that at Casalaionferrato with Marco Visconli; and that of Capri with La Con'essa WAm alft. Miss Nilsson. the famous Swedish singer, Is so popular in England that she can't buy a new pair of gloves or take a walk without giving occasion to a series of newspaper paragraphs, bucb is the penalty of fame. The London Orchestra "is requested to state that Miss Louise Pvue does not inteud to visit America this year." Tula seems to settle the matter. A new opera by Floiow, Les Deux Com positeurs, is announced lor this month at Pranue. The scheme of founding a "Bossiniau So ciety In Italy, cherished by Minister Broglie, has been abandoned. Patti ha9 been very successful at Homburg, and will soon return to the Paris Italians. Concerning Sheep. The following composition by a boy is charac teristic of first essays In the ait of writing: A sheep is about as big as a dog, though they are better than dogs, 'cause dogs kill sheep, but sheep don't kill doga, except once whn a man wanted to break his dog of sheep killing, and so held him and let an old sheep butt him till he broke his bones into little tine pieces about as big as a piece ot tooth; and so that was the way that dog got broke, and 1 guess he wished be had learned some other business besides butchering don't you? There are mostly two kinds of Fheep ewes and ram?. The rams have a few horns. There are principally several kinds of rams also. There is the battering ram that they bad in the old time to knock on the gates of cities when they wanted to come in. Then there's the ram that they ram down gans with (1 wish I had a gun), and the hydraulic ram they ram up water with. Kouietinies when they wanted to knock down (oiks' walls In the Bible they didn't have whole rams enough to batter them down, and they had to tuke rama' horns and blow them down. That they did with the walls of Jerry Coe. I don't know whether he was any relation to the phosphate of Jiino man or not. There is two kinds of sheep, the South Down, that they have down South, and the Merino, which is the 8panish for marine, 'cause they come over the sea. They keep the sheep for their mutton, which is good When they can't get turkey, though geuerally they jump out aud run away, so that tuey can't keep them. , The way to make them jump is to tie old barrel staves to tteir legs lor fetters. The fetters scare them, aud they Jump to get away from 'em. tiheep are troubled with wool grow ing all over them, and so in the hot weather they cut it off to keep them cool. I suppose they would have to cut H off aey rate to get at jfee Uiuttou, Xhej sy.u u tlw wool into. HQCli- lngs npon LmV knitting machine, though sometimes the grandmothers knit them with needles, which 1 think is tho bst way, necause it keeps thrm quiet, and tliev wo. i't bother us boys so much. When sheep jump and ran, one always follows the rent. I mean the rest al ways follow one. Jf the leader should jamp through a keyhole, or over the moon, the rest would all follow, which 1 think Is very bright In the sheep nd in other folks who always follow the leader; of course the leader is always right. Lambs are kept for their Innocence, which I should not think would pay, though they gambol all tho time, which Isn't so innocent neither, though I suppose they are the black-leg lambs 1 forgot to mention that there Is a kind of sheep called iroats, which, when you put up nightc.have to be kept separate from the real sheep the sheep on the right atd the goats on the left. I dou't know as I know any more about sheep, though Cousin Dud does, 'cause he keeps kheep, and hs's got 'm so they'll jamp first-rate, too. Insect Ravages. The correspondent of the London Star, .writing from Paris, August 20, says: I cannot say that an exhibition ot Insects is an attracting sight, although most interesting to larmers. The one now open at the Palais d'ln dustrle Is all the more important inasmuch as we all know of the frightful devastation lately committed by locusts and cockchafeis in Algeria and in the South ol France, as well as the mischief done by the weevils to the corn stores last winter. Twelve couples of these Insects In a hectolitre of corn sutlice to produce 75,000 of their specie!. As each consumes three era ns In the jear, the amount destroyed during that petiod would be 12 per ceut. The lcsldonica, writes the Debals. from which I gather these curious details, destroyed the third of the wheat crop in Belgium In the year 1846, which third was valued at 1,600,000 or 40,000,()00fr. The puceron, an almost invisible insect, has been known In eight days to destroy sixtj-eight acres of colza when the plant Is In flower. The scolytus appears to be equally de structive to forest". The pigmy soolytus, in tplte of Its diminutive size, accomplishes a gigantic amount of work; 60,000 young oak tiees have crumbled to dust in the woods of Vinceunes by means of its voracity; aud the scoiyius muttiftrta proved equally destructive to the elms which used to adorn the boulevards of this capital, Ihese trees have latterly been replaced by a species of plantain which resists their at-' tacks, and who.'e broader leaf forms a more efficient shade from the glare aud heat of the sun. Among useful insects, evidently silk worms and bees are the most noteworthy. Previous to the silkworm disease, the cocoons placed in the Southern departmeuts produced 4,000 000 worth of raw silk; uufortunately, that sum is now reduced to a third of a mil lion sterling. French bees not only produce wax candles and honey, but likewise brandy and vinegar. M. Dr blon exhibits vinegar, liqueur, boot and furniture varnish, and niiiiglyceriue for pre serving fruits aeainst fermentation; M. Favre Vommler, of Brloude, preserves made with honey, Instead of sugar and vinegar; M. Burot Denis, Kirsch, cognac, rum, etc., all of which various articles are manufactured lrom honey or wax. The bees of France cannot be accused ot idleness, judging by the report of their lu dustry in this morning's Debuts. Another curi ous part of this exhibition appears to be the suits of ornaments for ladies' decoration, made of the green and blue chrysomelians and pha neuB imported from the Brazil, of the bright witged coleoptems found near iteaugency, and of the blue and enamelled noilies to be found on the shores of the Loire.
