THE DAILY E KG TKLKtiHAPIl rillLADELPIIlA, FltlDAY, FEBRUAKY 12, 1869. LITERATURE. HEVI15W OF NKW-JlOOIiB. Dm Dews: a Tale of ihn Cornteh MHnofl. Hy H. M. Ballantyne. Fatllnhed by J. B. Up jlncoti & Co. Tho who hT read Mr. Ballantyne's itorj ntlikd "FlgbtiDg the Flames" will have a ' natural desire to peruse this work. The Cor Irish mines are the most oelebrated, and in vany respeots the most interesting, in the werld. Extending, as some of them do, not merely Into the bowels of the earth, bat tar under the sea, the lives of the miners , Me oonatantly imperilled, and from the ear Best childhood their existence is one of toil, danger, and thrilling adventure. Mr. Ballan- . tyne, In the work before us, has not attempted ia giro a complete deaoription of the mines, fisheries, or the social condition of the people of Cornwall, but he has endeavored " lo exhibit some of the most interesting soenes and incidents connected with mining life. "With this end in view, he has constructed hia atory on a foundation of foots, bnt has taken the romancer's liberty to arrange his inoidents f as to prodnoe an essentially truthful pio tare. "Deep Down" can be reoommended as a story of exciting interest, which boys will eagerly read, and whioh will give some valua ble ideas on a subject about which very little is generally known. .The book is embellished With a number of very excellent designs, and it is nicely printed and bound. From D. Ashmead we have reoeived seve ral of the recent publications of D. Appleton k Co., of New York. "The Chaplet of Pearls; or, the White and Black Ribatynont," by the author of "The.IIeir of Redclyffe," is one of the list of "Appieton's Illustrated Library of Bomanoe," now in course of publication. The story takes us back to the old Huguenot days of France, and it gives a graphic pioture o the manners, oustoms, and political and reli gious intrigues of the times. The author is well known as one of the most entertaining romance-writers of the day, and "The Chaplet t1 Pearls" is equal in interest to anything that has yet prooeeded from her pen. The story is illustrated by a number of Mr. Gaston Fay's designs, upon whioh we cannot bestow sauoh admiration. "The Jerusalem Delivered" of Torquato Taese iB one of the great poems of the world, and the translation of J. II. Wuiilen has long been acknowledged as the best Luglish ver sion of it. Thi3 standard work is published by the MessrB. Appleton iu their "popular edition" of the poets, at the low price of 50 cents. A life of Taaso is given, and a list of the English nobility and gentry who went to the crusades. The notes are sufficiently numerous to aid the reader in gaining an understanding of the poem. "The Jerusalem Delivered" should find a place in the library I every student of poetry, beside Dante, Homer, Ario&to, Petraroh, and Shakespeare. Many lovers of good literature cannot afford to purchase books at the ordinary prioes, and the Messrs. Appleton would be rendering an essential service to some of the most ardent admirers of first-class poetry if they would follow up their half-dollar editions of Dante . and Tasso with"The Orlando Furioso" and the lonnets of Petrarch in equally cheap and . attractive style. "The Poaoher" is the ninth volume of the 50-sent edition of Captain Marryatt's works. This series will be completed in twelve volumes, and the entire set will be sold for $5 50. What boy need be without Marryatt's worka t The edition is printed in large type on good paper. The first part of the oatalogue of the musical library of Joseph W. Drexel, Esq., contains a list of 1536 works, in 2245 volumes historical, biographioal, theoretical, critical, satirical, etc and in the Oarman, English, French, Italian, Latin, Greek, Spanish, and Dutch languages. We have before alluded to this superb collection, and we again express the hope that it may at some time be placed in the custody of one of our public libraries, so that musioians and all who are interested in muaioal tubjeots oan have access to it. The oatalogue was arranged by Mr. H. F. Albrecht, who has devoted all his energies to completing the collection and pre paring the oatalogue. The titles of the works are given in alphabetical order, and to facili tate the search for a particular work, the numbers are arranged under different heads, according to the subjects. The first part of the catalogue covers mustoal writings; the second, third, and fourth parts will be issued aB soon as they oan be pre pared, and will comprise lists of autographs of distinguished musicians; prints relating to musio, inoluding many portraits of celebrated composers, etc.; music for the ohurch, theatre, chamber, etc, among which is a copy of the irit edition of Handel's oratorios iu score. The Report of a survey across the Con tinent in 18C7-68, on the thirty-fifth and thirty-second parallels, for a route extending Ike Kansas Paoifio Railway to the Pacific Ocean at 8n Franciaco and Ban Diego, by Gtneral William J. Palmer, gives a vast amount of information about this hitherto almost unknown region, whioh is shortly to be opened to the world by the completion of the Paeiflo Railroad. The survey under General Palmer's direotion was the most complete and aatisfaetory that has yet bean made, and the information which it contains about mines, timber, water-oourses, geological formations, and eharaoter of the country are valuable and important. fur Old Folk' Magaiin is a new venture . ia the field of periodical literature whioh we are glad to weloome. Our Old Folks is edited by D. Boyer Brown, Ksq-, nd ia published by R. Ilaflelgh, No. 731 Walnut street. The Maroh number starts off with an attractive aeries of articles, which promise well for those whioh are it follow. "The Bllver Jubilee," "The Chronicles of ifee Nieotlnlan Monastery," "A Visit to the Palace of the Toileries," "The Old Story," by Henry T. King; "Mohammed," "How to I ; sume Specie Payments,'" ,"Ony Onoe," an American- story, five chapters of whioh are given. "The Editor's Old Arm Chair" and "Wit and Humor" form a' series of artioles that will be appreciated by the lovers of periodical literature. The contributing staff of Our Old Folk inolndes many writers of talent, and the plan upon which It Is pro posed to carry it on ought to make " cess. The great progressive ideas of the day will be discussed, and the contributions of a serious cast will be relieved by wit, humor, poetry, and bright, sparkling essays on every imaginable subject of interest. Our Old Folks will be published at the low price of $3 per innum, and it will be an attractive addition to our somewhat limited list of . Philadelphia magaalnes. BOSTON AJSU CKNKKAL JACKSGX. 4 nrlon Rfinlnlwfnoe of Parly reeling. Just after the opening of General Jackson's second term, there arose between his adminis tration and the opposition a fearful war in re gard to the United btates Bank, whioh institu tion, headed by Nicholas Biddle, of Pennsyl vania, was regarded by the Democrats as an opponent of tbe interests of trade. On the contrary, the Whigs gave it their sanotion and most earnest support. It was supposed that Webster's great speech in reply to llayne had brought Jaokson over to the Whig side to such a degree that be would favor the Whig policy of tbe United States Bank. To make this more sure, Jackson was invited to visit Boston, where an ovation was given, such as was never tendered to any other President since the days of Washington. He was not proof against the flattery, and had nearly yielded to Federal persuasions, when David HenBhaw, that war-horse of Democracy, averted the intent, and it was discovered soon after Jackson left that he had aotnally signed the order for the removal of the deposits while at his hotel in Boston. The wrath of the Boston people can better be imagined than described. Thev eon?ht every way to demonstrate it. In 1834, shortly after this supposed overt act, the frigate Con stitution was hauled into the dry dock at Charlestown, Commodore Charles Elliott being at that time in command, and a staunch friend and supporter of Jackson. Whatever were his motives or his reasons, he gave an order to Mr. Laban S. Beecher. the well-known Bhip carver, then a young man but a short urue in business, wno Kept at JNo. 8 North Market street, to oarve a full figure of Jack son for a ligure-bead to be placed on the Con stitution. The Constitution, it will be remem bered, was a Boston-built ship, built on the present site of Constitution wharf. She was the glory of the old North Eud, and on her first voyage was manned mostly by Boston men. The time, the circumstance, and the order all provoked the Boston merchants, and they appointed a committee to wait on Mr. Beecher and request him to stop the work. Old Captain lien Rich, long since dead, was the spokesman of the committee, a great friend as well aa a generous patron of Mr. Beecher, being a large shipowner. Mr. Beecher respectfully declined to accede to the demand made by Captain Rich. Another of the com mittee, Mr. Alfred Riohardson, waited upon Mr. Beecher with the same result, Mr. Beecher threatening to ehoot any man who should in terfere with his work. As soon as the facts were made public the excitement became in tense and violence was threatened, the prin cipal merchants of Boston taking part. At this juncture, Commodore E liott, being alarmed for the safety of the figure-head, with the promptness and decision whioh were charac teristic of the bluff old Commodore, ordered the work to be taken to the Navy Yard and there finished, and informed Mr. Beeoher that he would send a well-manned barge to the rear of his shop by daylight. Mr. Beeoher's place was situated bo that the rear of the building was on the edge of the old Middle sex Canal. The barge arrived at the time designated, manned by thirty men, who were provided with billets of wood to defend them selves in case of attack. As a sort of feint a portion of the men proceeded to the market with baskets. Meanwhile Mr. Beecher had packed the unfinished figure-head in a large box and lowered it down by the run into the barge; this aooomplished, the boatswain pipad his whistle and the crew of the barge came on board and she shot through the canal just as the excited orowd, who had got wind of the proceedings, appeared on the ground, "the little man in black," with his treasure, being a prominent objeot on board the barge for the hisses of the orowd. Arrived at Charlestown, Mr. Beeoher was allotted a convenient room to prosecute the work, before which a sentinel paced night and day. The figure-head was completed and bolted npen the cutwater of the Constitution before Bhe left the dock and hauled out to her anchorage in the stream. To guard against any intended attaok by the mob Commodore Elliott had placed the yard in a state of defense. The firmness of Mr. Beeoher and the bold ness of Commodore Elliott tended to increase the excitement in Boston. There seemed to be a fixed determination that the Constitution should not go to sea with that figure-head. How to aooomplish the result was not so easy to decide upon. But a way at onoe seemed opened to them. Captain Sam Dewey, a bold, daring, and reckless man, had just arrived from Bea, and one evening while in company with a few kindred spirits the matter was broached. Captain Dewey deolared that he would cut on the ngu re-head and produce it on a certain evening. The boldness of the pro position and the well-known intrepMlty of the man gained immediate credence, and it was not lung before preparations were made for a grand celebration and supper at Gallagher's hotel, the old Siackpole House. The night fixed upon by Dewey was eminently propi tious a fearful storm was raging, accompa nied by sharp lightning and terrific thunder. Dewey hd his confederates at a given point; he took a skill at Charlestown bridge, and, without the aid of oars, dropped quietly alongside tbe frigate; fastening uia painter to the lower bobstays, he climbed up to the head, being provided with a narrow but highly tempered saw, and, watching the beats of the seiitry bo as to avoid him on ap proach, he sawed the figure-head through just above the lower jaw, placed a strong leadiog line over the upper part, which, at a given signal, was responded to by his confederates. The'Bgure-bead was safelyjbruught to Comey'g wharf, and from ttieuoe taken to Gallagher's, where a brilliant assembly was gathered of all tbat gay crowd but a few are left and there were wit, and sentiment, and song suou as have rarely been reproduced. As the time and tbe occasion have been so long forgotten, and as the asperities of political wrangles have been so deeply buried, we leave them where they were, but the Uartiord Convention, with Tim Bigelow at its head, oonld hardly have matched the excitement that fol'owed. As soon as Elliott discovered the insult to his chief he was like a roaring lion. Sending a peremptory mesiage to Mr. Beeoher to ap pear at the yard, that gentleman appeared. "Mr. Beecher," said the irate Commodore, "those rascals have out off that figure head; can it be repaired V "Yes," saidMr. Beecher, "but you mnt excuse me from doiug anything further in the matter, as the excite ment is already so great." The mutilated part was then coveted with the national flag, and the Constitution left the harbor In that condition. Tbe after history of that figure head is shiouded in mystery. Dewey was bold enough to proclaim his part in the trans action, and it was oertainly to the credit of Mr. Beecher to refuse the offers and disregard the threats of those who were his patrons, on the ground that he did. There was a court-martial held, before which the sentry was snmmoned, but as there was no dereliction of duty proved, he was honor ably acquitted. The place beooming so hot, Commodore Elliot, at his own request, was allowed to take the Constitution to the Brook lyn Navy Yard, New York. The romantio story tbat has passed current, to the effect tbat Dewey oarried the figure-head to Wash it gton and presented it to Jaokson, is without foundation. The thing was never done or contemplated. Dewey is now living some where in Virginia. HoUon Traveller.. Anecdote of the l.ltlcr Iloolh. Mr. Elihu Burritt contributes to the Feb ruary number of Packard' Monthly an inte resting article, under the title of "Breathing a living Soul into Dead Words," in which the following anecdote is told of the elder Booth: "The elder Booth was a man who threw into his impersonations an amount of heart and soul which his originals could soaroely have equalled. He did "Richard III" to the life, and more. He had made human passions, emotions, and experiences his life study. He oonld not only act but feel rage, love, despair, hate, ambition, fury, hope, and revenge with a depth and force that half amazed his auditors. He could transmute himeelf into the hero of his impersonation, and he could breathe a power into other men's written words whioh perhaps was never surpassed. And what Is rather remarkable, when he was lnolined to give illustrations of this faculty to private olrcles of friends, he nearly always selected some passages from Job, David, or other holy men of old. When an aspiring young pro fessor of Harvard University went to him by night, to ask a little advice or instruction in qualifying himself for an orator, the veteran tragedian opened the Bible and read a few verses from Isaiah in a way tbat made the Cambridge scholar tremble with awe, as if the prophet had risen from the dead and were uttering his sublime visions in his ears. He was then residing in Baltimore, and a pious, urbane old gentleman of thatoity, hear ing of his wonderful power of elocution, one day invited him to dinner, although strongly deprecating the stage and all theatrioal per formances. "A large company sat down to the table, and on returning to the drawing-room one of them requested Booth, as a speoial favor to them all, to repeat the Lord's Prayer, lie signified his willingness to gratify them, and all eyes were fixed upon him. He slowly and reverentially arose from his ohair, trembling with the burden of two great conceptions. He had to realize the character, attributes, and presence of the Almighty Being he was to ad dress. He was to transform himself into a poor, sinning, stumbling, benighted, needy suppliant, offering homage, asking bread, pardon, light and guidance. Says one of the company present: It was wonderful to watch the play of emotions that convulsed his coun tenance. He became deathly pale, and his eyes, turned tremblingly upwards, were wet with tears. As yet he had not spoken. The si lence could be felt; it had beoome absolutely painful, until at last the spell was broken as if by an electric shook, as his rich-toned voloe, from white lips, syllabled forth 'Our Father, whioh art in heaven,' etc., with a pathos and fervid solemnity that thrilled all hearts. He finished; the Bileroe continued; not a voice was heard nor a muscle moved in his rapt au dience, until, from a remote corner of the room, a subdued sob was heard, and the old gentleman (the host) stepped forward, with streaming eyes and tottering frame, and seized Booth by the band. 'Sir,' said he, in broken accents, 'you have afforded me a plea sure for which my whole future life will feel grateful. I am an old man, and every day, from boyhood to the prsent time, I thought I had repeated the Lord's Prayer; but I never heard it before; never.' " You are right,' replied Booth. 'To read that prayer as it should be read caused me the severest study and labor for thirty years, and I am far from being satisfied with my rendering of that wonderful production. Hardly one person in ten thousand compre hends how muoh beauty, tenderness, and grandeur can be condensed in a space so small and in words so simple. The prayer itself sufficiently illustrates the truth of the Bible, and stamps upon it the seal of divinity.' 'So great was the efleot produced,' says our in formant, 'that conversation was sustained but a short time longer, in subdued monosylla bles, and almost entirely ceased; and Boon after, at an early hour, the company broke up and retired to their several homes, with sad faces and full hearts.'
