'ISG TE LFGlUrH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 18C9. TEE -D AIL M k V J K W 0 F. N K W BOOKS. TtrViAivrs AnnrT: a Tale of the Twelfth CV.n try. By Count A. do tobincau. Trans lated by Charles D. Meiers, II. D. Published y Cinxton, Roiuocn ifc IlalTclfinger. This work Is In several wuys remarkable, and "worthy of the attention of those who appreciate lre better class of fiction. The story Is a vivid production of French life in the twelfth ccn ' tury, and the description of etencry, manner, wstorns, and people have a genuine historical ftlue. The characters arc drawn with a mas terly touch, and a highly entertaining plot Is developed with skill. The translation, too, has a particular interest an having been made by the venerable Dr. Mclgs, who, iu a prefatory letter addressed to Count de Goblncnn, explain- how, at the advanced age of seventy-eight years he rame to engage in the work of translating this fliic fiction (or the benefit of American readers. While expressing a warm admiration for the snore recondite works of tho author, he also takes a correct view of the important mission of the novelist, and considers that a book like Typhaines Abbey," which, In reality, gives an exhibition of the life and manners of an obscure era in a stylo that would be Impossible in a work r f history, has a value of its own which com mends it to the attention of the most thoughtful reader. The translation is admirably done, and , Dr. Meigs has rendered a genuine service to the American public by introducing this novel to tbem. The book is issued in handsome style by the publishers. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. By Lewis Carroll. Published by Lee & Slicpard. Philadelphia Agents: J. B . Llppiucott & Co. Of making fairy stories there is no cud, and never will be so long as there are children to be amused, and children of a larger growth who take delight for a brief hour or so In forgetting the toils and troubles of this workaday world, and dreaming tho dremu of youth again. There arc, however, good fairy stories and fairy stories that- are good for nothing; and the youngest reader of this class of literature is frequently the sternest and most discriminating critic. The writer of fairy stories must have the fairy's gift, r his work will quickly fall Into disrepute in the nursery, and will be allowed no resting-place in the juvenile-library. Such will not, we opine, be the fate of tho beautiful work before. us. Alice's adventures are sulliaiently wonderful to excite the admiration of the most unimagiuative juvenile that ever stole an hour from his school books for the sake of more attractive literature, and Mr. Tcuuiel's comical, pictures so aptly illus trate the extraordinary narrative that they must ke seen to be appreciated, as no description of -ours can do them justice. We would be doing no service to the young readers of this book by giving them un idea beforehand of the remarkable things eontaiued iu its pages, and we can only commend it as one of the most attractive works of the kind that has come under our notice for a long time. It is - printed in large type on thick, tinted paper, and is richly hound in green morocco cloth. From Turner Brothers & Co. we have re ceived "Little Women," part second, by Louisa M. Alcott. Published by Roberts Brothers. This continuation of Miss Alcott's pleasant home story will be read with pleasure by those who were interested in the sayings and doings of Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy, as described in part first of "Little Women." Here we have the little women, after the lapse of three years, grown to womanhood, and entering on a new phase of life, with other cares, responsibilities, and pleasures. The story is characterized by the same genial tone and fine religious sentiment as its predeces sor, and it will doubtless fiud many appreciative readers. From the same house we have xeceived "Realities of Irish Life,' by W. Stewart French. Published by Roberts Brothers. This is the fifth number of the neat "Handy Volume" series. . The author has endeavored to give an entirely truthful statement of actual facts that have come under his own observation during a long resi lience in Irclaud, and he has written with an evident honesty of purpose that will commend his work to thoughtful readers. Many of the sketches are exceedingly graphic, and the pecu . liarities of Irish character are described iu a masterly manner. Turner Brothers & Co. send us "The Veloci pede: its History, Varieties, and Practice." Pub lished by Hurd & Houghton. This little work tWes a historical sketch of tho velocipede, de scriptions of the various styles of . vehicles now in use, instructions how to use them, and other particulars useful to those who are . interested iu uuicyeles, bicycles, and tricycles. From Claxton, Remseu &, Haflclfinger we have received Harper it Brothers' cheap edition of "It is Never Too Late to Mend," by Charles Reade. . . Turner Brothers & Co. send us The ltivt r ide Magazine, which has for a frontispiece a fine drawing of a giant by La Farge, and au at tractive series of articles suited to the tastes of Juvenile readers, including a sketch by Hans Christian 'Andersen. Captain Maync Rcld's magazine, Onward, as usual, contains narratives of adventure of the most exciting description; and Appleton'e Journal for Saturday, May 1, gives an instalment of Victor Hugo's novel, "The Man Who Laughs," and articles ou a variety of subjects. The Nursery, published by John L. Shorey, Boston, is full of pictures, poetry, and prose that the youngest of readers will understand . and appreciate. We read in the last Australian intelli gence that the drought has now ooutin aed on some stations without Intermission for over eighteen months. To snob straits are the no fortunate sqaatters reduced, that every means 1 nsed of husbanding the little water that remains in the water-holes of the rivers. To these, naturally, all'llving things in the neigh borhood come 'in the desperate extremity of thirst; bnt next to their own lives that of the heep is held most in esteem by the sqaatters, and, consequently, the horses and kaugarooa are shot down whenever they'appear at the water-holes to slake their burning thirst. A correspondent informs us that the wild horses became almost tame at first, and approaohed the water without fear, but now the report of a gun frightens them to suoh a degree that they will rather die of thirst than come near hole where a gun has been fired. The question of selecting a breech-loader fer the Russian arm is a good deal disoussed Just now in the press of 8W Petersburg. The Exchange Gazette says that when this question was first raised the War Office created an impression among the publio that by the end f 1868 309,000 breech-loaders would be in the kinds of the troops, and that this number would be increased to 600,600 by the end of 18CD. Yet, adds the Gazette, (10,000 breech loaders only were ready at tho end of last year, and there were wd according to the" Karl yetro, which Ml Knrope has rejected s ordered of the Gov rnment and other faoterlea, bnt all these establtfibiuente taken together only produce 624 a dsy, so that the fall num ber isanlred for arming the troops oan only be centrist, by 17 ' 1873. The OaztUt also mentions 60,000 guns whloh bad been oidarcd to be wade on the Terry Norohan system, and 30,000 on the Baden system, and eeys that even nnd r the most favorable olr enmstanoes not over 230,000 rifles of all these systems, none of whloh hare been prac tically tested, oan be ready by the end of the prerent year. It sppars from an artiole pub lished in the Viett last week; that the Rus sian Government has now finally decided on adopting the Baranotf rifle. This rifle was invtnttd in 1867, bnt was then re jected by the authorities, and its acceptance now is stated to have been mainly attributable to the Intervention of the Csarewitoh, who has a very high opinion of its merits. DOMESTIC SQUABBLES. rrririrnt IJnroln it Prrnelunl Martvr-llow Mr Would W lieu Mm. Jaurvlii SiUd lie Miouldn I. Waxhington Corwpondt nee RwheUr Onion. In passim? the White House to-day I could not help recalling the Linroln era, aud with the rocolltvt'on rame a memory of tin; -domestic squabbles which took place on the "st-cowl story front' It Is a well-known tact that Mrs. President Lincoln huti d the accomplished douhtcr of the then Secre tary of the Treasury Miss Kate Chose, now Mrs. Senator Mprajrue, of Ithode Island. I hapciieU to be in Washington at the time of Miss Chafe's tnarritiKe with Governor NpraRiip, and us I had ac-qnalntan'-e high tn favor with the administration, was of course "behind the scenes.-' I perfectly wellr emeuibcr the posslp in regard to Mrs. Lincoln's endeavor to pre vedt Abraham from attending the weddinn reception. It seems cards had been sent to the Executive Mau slan, but Madame Lincoln, with all the malice arid vindlctivem-HS of an uulv, vulvar woman attaint a pretty, refined one, determined that her amiable sponse should not attend the reception. President L. was an admirer aud a warm political friend of Chafe's: therefore his absence at such a time was not to be thought of. In vain Mary Ann asserted her woman's privileges, and demanded that her better half should stay at home.- Abraham in sisted, and set forth his rights. The "set-to'' took place In Mrs. L.'s dressing-room, ami the music of her voice penetrated to the utmost end of the house. At lust Mr. 1- broke away from his Irate lady, and fiew to his attiring apartment, where he douned ris swallow-tailed coat, etc, fully determined for omx to have his own way. The supposition was, that being a good man, his affection and love and peace overcame hisdiscrcMon ; for, determined to "kiwi and make up," this model husband returned In full dress to his wife's sanctum. This was too much fora puglllstlcally-lnrlined female to bear. She made a dash at his cravat, and captured a part of his whiskers. The struggle was short, but Mr. Lincoln followed the example of the Hull Kim hei ics that Is to say, he fought, bled, ami rau like the best of the afoi'i-xalil heroes, and left M rs. I in possession of the Held and the trophy of whiskers! Mr. Lincoln rearranged his tollot, aud, like a brave hero, went to the reception. Kut alas ! In this cane the tmitl) of the old adage, "If you dance you must pay .the piper,"' wus fully exemplified. On his return to the bosom of his family he fonnd the door leading to his sleeping room locked. In vain he called upon his wire to open it. She would not. In vain he used every term of-enduarmcnt. she was immovable. So. vanquished In the tinal en counter, the poor man hud to call upon the house keeper for a "shakedown." Then he retired in soli tude to reflect upen the uncertainty of domestic bliss. From a woman's standpoint, I have often que, tloned myself In regard to one thing whether at the time of Abraham Lincoln's death he was martyred lor the first time? I rather think he was a martyr of many years standing. PROCLAMATION. PENNSYLVANIA 8S: IN THE NAME AMI) ISY TUB AUTHORITY OP THE COMMONWEALTH OP PENNSYLVANIA : A PROCLAMATION!
