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

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.' "
