IlKVIliW OF NKW BOOK
Frkamof Fortvnk, and Mai or Rrbar. By
Oliver Optln. Published by L' o A Shnoarii,
Hosion Philadelphia urouU U. V. Pucuer,
No. 808 Ooemnt street.
the writer of tbese stories bti obtained much
popularity with a large clrrle of jureuilp read
ers, and bit obect Is to Inculcate Rood moral
and religious piluclples j presenting tbo n 1n a
ihape tbat will attract rather than repel the
class to which they nr addressed. It Is not
every one wbo knows bow to lay on with skill
the sugar coating of tb ptll which the young
sters are effected to swa.low, and those who
succeed In doing so are entitled to credit no
Cordinjrly. Oliver Optic's style is not the best,
and he seems Inclined to Instruct more by
precept than by example. So far from cons!,
dering aujr pology nceseary for the Intro
duction of cxjitiuir adventures and incl.
dents In such stories as . those under notice
at present, we think that therein consists their
chief merit. Tho craving of boys for books of
adventuro Is a natural aud healthy feeling,
which, within proper btucdn, should be en
courxgrd; and the more of such books the
better, we pay, so long as they are good and
Yvbolpsome In ton, liojs are generally pretty
Rood critics, and the object of the writer might
be accomplished better by drawing such charac
ters as "Uncle Nathan" and "Levi Fairfield" as
bad or good, than by telling the reader that they
are so in as many word?. This Is tho great
defect lu Oliver Optic's wrltinps: he does not
draw charncters, and (he consequence Is that
his examples of perfect morality and total de
piavl'y c'o not make tho sane impression that
they would if the writer was a better artist
Dickens docs cot take the trouble to say that
"Qullp" is a mean, contemptible little brute, but
we understand his intentions well enough; anl
such character-drawing is enjoyed by boys a;
much m grown readers, while at the same time
it stimulates the intellect in a style that Oliver
-Optic's portiaiturf s never can do. Those who
devote themselves to the tusk of writing for the
youDtf have a great responsibility on their
shoulders, and the bet work that they can tuin
out will never be too good. We wish siacerely
that the lis-1 of really ab'e authors of J lvenile
books could be largely increased; and while we
believe that much better stories than those of
Oliver Optio might be written, we are not dis
posed to crltlcizo them too closely, because we
believe that they in a great measure accomplish
the purpose of the author in combining amuse
ment with instruction, aud iu interesting his
readers.
Tales of Algeria. TranlatPd from the "Veloce''
of Alexai.dre Djmas, bv Bichaid Meade Bache.
Published by Claxton, liemsen, & HalTel-.
finger.
Mr. Bache has selected from Damis' "Veloce"
such portions as he thinks will be interesting to
American readers. The sketches of Algeria"
life, manners, custom, and adventures con
tained in. this volume were written by Dumas
Tf mie on a cruise in the French corvette Veloce,
and they appear to have been dashed off on the
epur of the moment, in that free but graphic
Btyle for which the grea; French novelist is
famous. Mr. Bache has preserved the spirit of
U.e oriulnal in his translation, but further cur
tailments might have been made without seri
ously diminishing the interest of the book.
From A. Winch, autbor's agent, no. ouo
Chesnut street, we have received the "Exit of
Caliban and Isnjlock," by which title appears to
be meant the exit of religion, morality, and
common sense. The author has undertaken to
grapple with the great social questions of the
day, and has failed, as many more able men
before him have done, to find a satisfactory
solution for the difficulties that perplex him.
He indeed does attempt a solution, but most
right-thinking and cool-headed persons wi'.l be
apt to consider his remedies worse than the
diseases they preteud to cure.
J.'iifflish and American Ladies.
Ergl.sh women have their out-of-door sports
ne will as the men. They low, they ride, tiiey
have archery meeting, and, more than this,
they walk outiu every kind of weather. Iain
not about to repeat the old cry tbat American
ladies wear thin shoes, fade quickly, and die
early. This cry was never quite true, except
in regard to ladies ot lathlon; aud such ladles
are very much alike aB over the world, wearing
the same attire, living the same lite, and coming
to the same end. But, unquestionably, tbe
opening ot the New Yoik Ceutral Park which
rendered all American parks suddenly fashion
able and the Enbsequeut and consequent Intro
duction ot Enirlhh waiting boots, have greatly
benefited American women, and have blessed,
line a new Providence, the American children.
I have had the honor of Introductions to Eng
lish matrons who appeared quite as young a
their daughters, and have met an English iady
who assured me that she was a grandmother,
although she looked youne, handsome, and
charmme enough for a maiden of eighteen: but
I tbink I could hud similar phenomena in Ame
rica, and I have encountered some English girls
who seemed old enough to be their own mothers,
not to bay grandmothers, and ut?!y enough to
eusgest tne theory of demoniacal influences.
The truth Is that American ladies, m a
rule, aie as handsome as ths Enirli-tb,
aud lost just as lonu; but their Is a
different style of beauty, and each man
has bis own ideal. 1 do not want the American
women to look like tbe English, but 1 want
them to be as healthy, and to Introduce to the
world as healthy children. To accomplish this
they should wear warmer underclothing, wait
more, be more independent of the weaiher, live
moie lu tne open air, aud use borsebtck exer
cise reuularly. Almost every English My
kLOws how to ride; tbat goes without asking;
but in America, altboagh you may be sure that
every lady can thrum tbe piano, not one in fifty
can ride. Croquet is not exercte for which
reason, I presume, the Ameiican women have
been willine to alopt it; but gardening is a
healthy amusement, which most Americaus
neglect, and in which English ladies take the
utmost delight.
Foreigners who reside for anytime in England
eoon learn tbe pleasures ot a garden. I have
seen an Italian prima donus, for whom tbe
critics cannot find sufficient praises nor tbe
public adequate applause, liigcicir away with
enthusiasm and a trowel at 6 o'clock in the
motuiug; and it is astonishing how much inte
rnet American residents here take in an occupa
tion which they scarcely thought of in their own
country. Better this than foruimr women's
clubs, or agitating for women's rights by de
claiming women's wrongs. Far belter than
resorting' to waterins places every summer in
truest ol rest and strength, aud returning lu the
autumn moro fatigued than ever.
English people go to watering places also;
buttbey go for tbVwater, and flirt incidentally;
tbey bathe, they trot around on the beach, they
make walking excursions into the adjacent
country, they are not so particular about their
toilets as in town. Tbe American ladies go to
flirt, and take the water incidentally; they pass
the day in frequent changes of dress for tbe
bieaklast, lunch, promenade, drive, dinner, aud
evening dance; go to bed when they should be
thinking of getting up, and commit more lollies
in a few weeks than tbey can satisfactorily
repent of during the remainder of the year. Tbe
first duty of a woman Is to be handsome and
healthy, and the average EnglUh woman per
forms her whole duty faithlully; the average
American woman fails after the handsome half,

These ports have a foreign commerce of 1900 oco.OoO
and an enormous domestic trade, besides which we
have the Immense internal commerce of the Empire,
radiating lroin these points, through lu canals and
navigable rivers
Tbe cable bslng laid, this company propose erecting
land llneb and establishing a speedy and trustworthy
means of communication, which mnst command
there, as everywhere else, the communication) of the
Government, oi business, and of social life, especially
In China. She has no postal system, and her only
means now of communicating Information la by
courier on land, and by steamers on water,
Ihe WtsternWorld knows tbat China Is a very
large country, In tbe main densely peopled; bat lew
yet realize that she contains more than a third of the
human race. Ibe latest returns made to her central
authorities for taxing purposes, by the local magis
trates, make her population Jbur Hundred and Four
teen MUiions, and tLls Is more likely to be under than
over the actual aggregate. Nearly all of tbese who
are over ten years old not only cau, but do read and
write. Her civilization Is peculiar, but her literature
la as extensive as that of Kurope. China is a land of
teacheis and traders; ana the latter are exceedlntly
qnlck to avail tt emselves of every proffered facility
for procuring early Information. It is observed la
California that tbe Cblnme make great use of the
telegraph, though It there trarsmlts messages In En
gllsb alone To-day, great numbers of fleet steamers
are owned by Chinese merchants, and used by them
exclusively for the transmission of early Intelligence,
If tbe telegraph we propone, connectlug all their great
seaports, weie now In existence. It Is believed that
Its business would pay Its cost within the first two
years of lu successful operation, aud would steadily
Increase thereafter.
