from Our Own OorretponOent.
Hit Yokk, Oct 9, 1868.
Miss 8un B. Anthony Is certainly Indefatiga
ble. Etae is constantly doing the work of a
dozen ordinary women, in superintending con
ventions for the benefit of her sex, making
peechei, editing the Revolution, and upholding
the spirit of her faint-hearted sisters. She loves
the work in which she is engaged. She calls
upon the downcast and trodden-under of her
ex to cast to the winds all care of what the
newspapers may say of them, ani to go on
boldly in the work of revolutionizing,
as if there were xo such thing a
a criticizing public. Hhe is most emphati
cally one of the most origUal and startling isms
of New York. She docs not expect to see the
good she works for developed during her gene
ration. She Is only planting the acorns from
Which another generation shall produce the
oaks. Around her all the different branches of
women's work are constantly forming nuclei.
She is the irresistible force sweeping agilnst the
Immovable body of public prejudice. Supremely
Indifferent to anything but the attainment of her
end, vl2.. a large pay secured to the toilers
among her ieT, this purblind spectacled, and
most assiduous lady tolls day and night with
tongue and pen, and works not ouly with all her
soul, but with all her body, too.
The opening of the Fall Meeting at Jerome
Park was badly attended. There were no long
lines of carriages; there were no crowds of
spectators. About one-fifth as many peoplo aa
ought to have been there, were. Ctuse un
known. The weather was lovely. Tne sky was
imported from Italy, and the atmosphere had
passed unchallenged through the celestial custom-house,
and direct from the south of France.
Everything was propitious except the people,
that mysterious entity whose edict is more
tyrannical and tiiunder-toncdtbau the mandates
of the sea. Among the women present a few
magnificent toilettes were perceptible. Bat,
then, the women were so few. Where there
should have been crowds stood only knots,
and where interminable lines of car
riages should have brimmed with babbling
fashion, two or three sleek and solemn vehicles
stood demurely side by side. The thing was a
failure. It might almost be said that no betting
was done. livery heart collapsed beneath the
chill of its individual wet blanket, and when
the racing was over slow-going coaches bare
solemn visages home. Some celebrated per
soniiges were present, but then the presence of
a few celebrities does not render the opening of
autumn races successful. A score of celebrated
caterers, commodores, aud cricketers, presi
dents, prize-fighters, actors, "end" men, and
bo forth, do very well as points of relief among
a heterogereous crowd; but on Tuesday they
were more like pillars, measuring the breadth
of vacant interstices that should by rights have
been thronged.
Some of the principal merchants of Fulton
street have ben getting up an indignation
meeting, in order to heal the nuisances inflicted
on them by the "ropers-in" employed by the
gift enterprise establishments. The ancient
hawntof these gilt swindlers was in Conlandt
street. Their operations there, however, having
become too notorious, they removed one by one
into Fulton street, where they are the terror of
all the respectable tailors and hatUrs. The
"ropers-in" are the most irresistible functiona
ries extant. Any "young m an from the coun
try" that they can lay hold of they carry almost
by force in the gift-swindling dens, and he who
enters there leaves hope behinJ, the hope of
coming out with as much as he took in.
The vicinity of the respectable Fulton street
merchants' shops has therefore been seriously
harassed. No man, woman, or child could
pause for a moment to look in at the windo w
without being pounced upon by these importu
nate "runners." A committee of the respectable
merchants waited in vain on Superintendent
Kennedy and Inspector Dilks. All the satisfac
tion they received was that no satisfaction could
be received, unless they indicted the respective
swindling establishments before the Grand Jury.
All that is left to do, therefore, is to grin and
bear the Rift swindlers doing the first, and the
respectable merchants the last.
The Water street movement, which might bet
ter be called tho Bum street movement, seems
gradually to be losing lis activity. now and
then a converted pickpocket makes a pious ad
dress, and proves as eager to steal the hearts of
the public as he once was to steal their pocket
books. Some of the rum-sellers, who do not
aide with John Allen, got up a demonstration of
sticks and staves the other day, and mauled
some of the more prominent members ol a pious
meeting. If Mr. Beecher's opinion on the
"Water Street Movement," be worth anything,
it is satisfactory to learn that be considers it one
of the most extraordinary phenomena of tho
day, uud that he only regrets that those can
verted are so low down in the scale of depravity
that they will be no better than lame mora'
convalescents all the rest of their lives,
Jonn Allen continues to mingle drinks and dot
ologles in equal proportion.
I am not ver.ed in toilette slang, but my ob.
nervations along Broadway inform me that
Scotch material is coming more into use for
ladies' dresses. Costumes of thick quilled tissue
are much worn, overhung with tunics trimmed
with black taffeta. The tippets accompanying
this style ot dress are often made so that the
Beams are heart-6haped at the back. Lawn
skirts of pale red, with tanics of pale blue crape,
are also frequently seen. The panier style
will be the chosen one during the coming wiu
ter. In full dress plush will play a prominent
part. Even blue and green are getiing to be
worn together. Fashion Is blessed as a peace
maker among colors. She misce genates thoae
that seem born to be kept asunder, and brings
discordant hues into as harmonious proximity
w bosom friends.
I consider the success of Fanny Janauschck
la this city,' and in other cities of the United
States, to be an extraordinary dramatic event.
One year ago she came here with scarcely a
premonitory word. She cama in the la 36 of
Bistort's prestige, and after that artiste had
' already made herself sure of the heart of the
Ameiiun people. Two weeks before Janaus.
, .ehek . cavie here, I don't believe twenty people
In New Toi', outside of ne wspaper tircles. had
ever heard ol her. Her pictures give the Idea
of a woman ol stupendous energy and will.
Her physique, as witnessed by an audience, con.
' firms that impressltn. er pictures are bold,
. swinging, massive; er strides are gigantic,
nd her gestures ponderous. She is immense
In every way. She is a better specimen of suc
cess, independent of puffery, than even Itistori',
A pupil of Matilda Union debuts as "Cumille,
on Saturday evening, at Jerome's Theatre. Un
fortunately, "Camille's" day is ovsr, and the
announcement of that pulmonary heroine upon
the bills is only too suggestive of the advertise
ments of pulmonary syrups. Last evening and
this evening the lovers of Black Crookistn
liave the sad opportunity of bidding fare
well to Bonfantl and the other fleet-footed
bountel-B who for the last two years have de
lighted New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and
Chicago. Kost Bell , is a taller, more decorous
more dignified, and altogether less pleasing
"Duchess" than Toitee. I believe these Items con
clude the budget at present. Au Baba.
LITERATURE.
REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS.
Little Women. By LouiBa M. Aloott. Pub
lished by Roberts Brothers, Boston. Phi
ladelphia Agents: Claxton, Remaen &
UaflelflDger.
There is perhaps no branoh of literature
which requires more tact and discrimination,
or which presents more difficulties, than the
wilting of Btories for children. Persons who
would hesitate long about publishing works
addressed to an adult audienoe feel them
selves fall oompetent to entertain and in
struct young people, without pausing to think
whether they are really qualified for the task
or not. And yet there are no keener crltios in
regard to all the essentials of story-writing
than children; and the inoulcation of good
moral ideas will not compensate with them for
dullness and insipidity in the characters
and adventurea of the heroes and
heroines of the miniature romances which are
written for their edifloatlon. Of late years
there has been a notable improvement in the
character of juvenile books, and a class of
writers have entered the field who appear to
really appreciate the importance of their mis
sion, and who are impressed with the idea
that moral and religions principles can be
best engrafted upon the minds of their readers
by not being too prominently brought forward
as the main objeots of their books. Miss
Aloott has written a number of stories whioh
are deservedly popular. She has a fresh and
graceful style, and a hearty sympathy with
the feelings, hopes, and aspirations of boys and
girls. "Little Women" is a pleasant story,
whioh girls will like to read, although in oar
opinion a little less preaching would not have
made it less instructive or entertaining. We
believe in books of this kind being good bat
not "goody," and the principal fault we have
to find with "Little Women" is a trifle too
much of the last-named quality. .
From Smith, English & Co. we hare re
ceived a sample part of the Amerioan edition
of Dr. William Smith's "Dictionary of the
Bible." Published by Hard & Houghton,
New York. The American edition of this
standard work is edited by Professor II. B.
Hackett, D. D., with the co-operation of Mr.
Ezra Abbott, A. M., Assistant Librarian of
Harvard University. The original work will
be given entire, without abridgment or
change, exoept the correction of misprints and
mistakes in quotation. An improvement will
be made by incorporating the two appendixes
of the English edition into the body of the
work. Contributions will also be famished
by many eminent American scholars, and the
work will be made as complete and perfect as
possible by the verification of numerous scrip
tural quotations, the extension of the system
of cross references, and other improvements
suggested by experience and researches made
since Dr. Smith completed his labors. The
Dictionary will be published in numbers, by
subscription, each number to contain 112
pages, medium ootavo size, and to be issued
monthly. The entire work will be comprised
in about thirty numbers, at seventy-five cents
per number.
From J. B. Lippinoott & Co. we have re
ceived "Wilson's Book of Reoitations and Dia
logues." Some of the selections in this little
volume are new and good, bat many of them
are the old standbys whioh have appeared
regularly in all the "speakers" and reading
books that we have any knowledge of.
From the same house and by the same
publishers we hare "Brudder Bones' Book o(
Stump SpeeoheB;" a collection of humorous
leotures,Ethiopian dialogues,plantation scenes,
etc., compiled and edited by John F. Bcott.
"Petersons' Cook Book" is quite a stand
ard authority with housewives. It gives use
ful receipts for concooting toothsome dishes of
every description, and it also offers some prac
tical hints about the arrangement of dining
rooms and dinner-tables, the management Of
domestics, and household eoonomy generally.
Published by T. B. Peterson & Brothers.
Messrs. Peterson also send ns "Old Cari
osity Shop," a volume of their cheap edition
ol Dickens' works. The story is given una
bridged, at the very low price of twenty-five
cents.
"The Citizens' Hand-Book for Phlladel.
phia." Published by William White Smith,
No. 800 Walnut street, contains the boanda.
ries of each Congressional, Senatorial, and
Legislative district; the limits of each eleotion
division, with the plaoe of voting, and the
offloial vote and majorities of both parties in
Philadelphia for 18GG and 1867, and other
valuable information. Prloe, 25 cents.
F. E. Remont, No. 1338 Chesnut street,
has just published ten hymns, whioh conati.
tute the seoond part of a new collection in
course of preparation by James Pearoe, Esq.,
organist of St. Mark's Church, Philadelphia.
J. P. Shelly & Co., No. 21S. Seventh street,
