THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH-.? HIIADELrinA,TKSDAY; MAY 4;i8C9: 1 LITERATURE. R E V I E W O F N E W 00X8, Th Malay Archipklago, by Alfred Rtaisel Wallace. Philadelphia Agents: Clxton, Remien & Baffulfinger. This work numWa 638 ootaro pages, bat yet it is what the author describes it, a mera Sketch, as a complete exposition of all the subjects treated would suffioe to fill a dozen auoh Tolumes. For the general reader, how ever, the results of Mr. Wallace's labor will be more aooeptable in the present shape than if they were given In more elaborate form, anl the work is one of the most interesting anl valuable, narratives of travel that has lately been published. At this day the Malay archipelago is almost a more unknown region than the interior of Afrioa, and most of our information about the group of islands which form the debris of the Aaiatio continent comes from early explorers. Mr. Wallace spent six years in this region, visiting at various times Borneo, Java, Celebre, New Uuinea, Ceratn, Donro Jilolo, Timor, Floris, and other inlands of the group. The main object of his journey was to obtain specimens of natural history, .id to this purpose all his energies were de voted, and descriptions of the animal life of the Malayan archipelago naturally occupy a large portion of his book. The various Islands of the archipelago are, for convenience sake, divided into five separate groups, which are considered separately. The first chapter of the work gives a general sketch of the physical geography of the whole region, and the last chapter is devoted to the races of men in the archipelago and the sur rounding countries. The chapters relating to the separate islands of eaoU of the groups are followed by one on the natural history of that group, and the work is profusely illus trated with maps, drawings of the people, their implements of husbandry and warfare, their household ntenBils and their dwellings; the birds, beasts, trees, and flowers. A large number of beautiful illustrations of the various birds of paradise are given, and au innumerable . variety of beetles, butterflies, end other insects. The woik is written in a pleasant and entertaining style, and it will be welcomed by those who are interested in narratives of travel as well as by those who are curious on the subject of natural history. From Tamer Brotuers & Co. we have received a copy of the new edition of General L. C. Baker's "History of the United States Secret Service." This work has been reviewed in our columns, and and the public generally are acquainted with its prominent charaoUmatios. Any sensation which might have been caused by its original publication has long since died away, and its value at this time is as a chapter in the his tory of the late Rebellion. A fine steel-plate portrait of General Baker is given as a frontis piece, and the book is illustrated by a number of wood-engravings of scenes and incidents. From Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger we have reoeived "Woman in Prison," by Caro line H.Woods. This is the narrative of a woman who felt that she had a mission to perform in becoming the matron of a penitentiary. Her experiences while filling that office are given in a manner to command attention, and the work is written in an earnest, thoughtful style that will entitle her opinions about prison discipline, its merits and defects, and the re forms which she judges to be necessary, to the consideration of all who are interested in the important subjeot under consideration. We have received "The New York Bible Woman," by Mrs. J. MoNair Wright. This is a companion volume to others by the same author, which show what good can be done in the homes of the poor and degraded of onr great cities by the earnest efforts of Christian women who descend into the dark plaoes of our city li'e, carrying hope and comfort to the miserable beings who in habit them. We have reoeived advanoe sheets of E Iward A. Pollard's "Life of Jefferson Divid." This work has long been threatened by Mr. Pollard, and he now informs ns that he has only delayed it on ajoount of the danger or inoonvenienoe it might ocoasion to Davis and others prominently connected with the Rebellion. Jefferson Davis, however, has left the country, and there is no reason to believe that he will ever be called to ac count for his misdeeds, and Mr. Pollard there fore thinks that no good reasons exist for further delay in making his promised revela tions with regard to the secret history of the Southern Confederacy. Mr. Pollard claims to have enjoyed unusual facilities for gathering information "behind the scenes" at Richmond, and if he fulfils his promises, we may expect some spicy developments. We give the fol lowing summing up of Jefferson Divis, as a speoimen of the style of the work: "The most striking quality, tlio most constant ana nl'tiiilomit event ol Mr. Davis' iiduiiuhitnitioii, will be found to be his Jualous repulsion of advisors ami assistants, and his descent to rivalry In popularity Willi his subordinates ami lieutenants. He had, us we shall see, a puerile eujreruess to appropriate all the honors of the Confederate cause, and to wear them conspicuously in the bight of the world. In this he departed from the true line of greatness, and fell from the summit to which fortune raise I Mm. It Is the unfailing characteristic of the great man that ho never descends to competition Willi his sulMjrdinates, but ingeniously takes every suc cess of theirs as the source and sustenance of his own greatness. Napoleon I had inurshals whom some critics have thought superior to himself In mili tary genius; but he understood that so long as he vas tho central historical llgure, history and the common opinion of mankind would naturally and logically refer their successes to himself, and b Htow upon Dim the crowning glory. This, indeed, is the true art of the great man the art of utilizing those around him, on the principle that the successes of his subordinates eventually recur to himself as tho centre, magnifying luiu and lining up tho mea sure of his fame, rather thau the weak, jealous attempt of self-assertion, which drives from itself all necessary aid and counsel, and choosing a naked eminence, tluds only a. vanishing point. Such was the attempt of Jefferson Davis which we shall follow in our narrative, and display as the esseutial weukr jiess of a little mind." From Tamer Brothers & Co., and Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger, we have reoeived "Kathleen," n interesting English novel by the author of "Raymond' Heroine." From J. B. Lippinoott & Co. we have re ceived "Hans Breitmann in Politics," by Charles G. Leland. This ifl reprint of the tory of the politioal baps and mishaps of Mr. Lelndg humorous Datchmaa, as narrated In the lte numbers of Liyvimott't Magazine. The Tersee we now issued in a neat pamphlet, illustrated by Mr. Bensell'solever drawing, for the benefit of Breitmann'a admirra. The May number of Our Own, -ondaoted by Fannie Warner, shows an improve ment en its predecessors 'in general appearance and in the character of its articles. The storleB, sketches, aivd poetry are interesting and readable, and our only complaint is against the ugly cover, whioh gives the exterior of the magazine a very na attractive look. TWO GRAVES. 11 ii rlii I iiriiiiiln of the W'ur. A correspondent of tho Boston 2'ra.ccllir, de scribing the cemetery neur Newborn, North Carolina, relates tlio following : At ono end of tho row arc two graves, of which uncommon rare has been taken, and to wliirli our attention was called by the keeper. They bear tin; following touching Inscriptions: No. 1744. 2lHt MakxAITH'SFTTS. llKI UOTIIKI) TO C. 10. C. (The tumie is not pven on the board, but, we learned that it was a member ot Company K. ol this regiment. ) The other rends an follows : Miss t',m;ii: K. cittkh, UKTHOrnKM TO NO. 1141. lil'IIIKII AT IMS Mlllii ,T 1IKIIOVVN KKgt'K-T. l'rohiibly many in the old Twenty-first will know tlu! ( ircuinstaiices and tell the story of these two lovers; but the inscription on their headboards is all we know of their life of love or devotion at death. But other incidents wc do know that arc full of interest to us, and wc doubt not to your readers, w hich are recalled ns we stand hy'the flagstaff mill read over the familiar names on the white hoards before us: "Follijainbe, JOth Conn." All. yes! Unit is the very grave they told us about, and this is the f AI) STORY OK I.OVI5 they told its: "The soldier lying in that grave Vas reared by kind parents in Hartford, and at the age of twenty an honest, intelligent young man he went to New Jlavcn. There he became fUMpiainted with a young lady by the name of Fcnin, w ho came to visit "her brother, then in college. They became, engaged to be married, and all was sunshine in the path of life. But the Rebellion came, and she returned to her home in Harlem, to wait for his return from the war, to which he was dctcr'.iiincd to go. Two years of correspondence ami two furloughs cemented their affection, until they felt that no earthly obstacle could come between them ami tho sweet joys of life in store for (hem. But to the loving heart in Harlem there one day came a report'that her betrothed was killed. Ju wild suspense she waited for his letters, but none came. Her luili'T wrote to the colonel and to the chaplain. They could only gay that he was "missing." With no thought of money, or trouble, or care, the old grey-headed lather whose daughter, since tlio death" of his sou, was his all, searched uncess-ingly for some clue to the missing one; eveu venturing within the lilies of the enemy. ;-lic, with that sublime fortitude which only a woman can command when trouble come-, and with that devotion which makes a woman's love so pure and sacred, shared the daggers and fatigues of a two years' search, knowing nothing, caring for nothing, unless it concerned her lover. Finally his grave was found in the woods near where the Tenth once forma1 a skirmish line, and a little head-board bearing his name carved in cracked liues with a pcu-knifc. marked his resting-place. Word was sent to the mourners, and the next conveyance brought them to tho spot. For awhile the" daughter sat in the carriage, and would not get out; not daring to trust herself within view of the spot where lay the dearest form she ever knew. Come, Nellie," said the old man, and with a forced calmness he assisted hie daughter from the carriage. Going to the graves he walked around it, read slowly the in scription, and then folding her hands across her breast she exclaimed. "O Charley," and fell upon the grave a corpse. The old man, left alone in this world of grief, w as led away by the driver a maniac. To-day in the asylum at "New York, he is constantly 'inquiring in his delirium why his daughter is not married. Import oi" I?l4'Ii;intN Iroiii Ceylon lo India. " The number of elephants which roam the forests of the Eastern province may be judged of v tin. fiwt ilmt ill Hie ti ml' vonl'.i eiirlimr 1X117 the annual export to India from Mansar averaged (K) animals, the number for 1805 being JJ70. The Kraal of IStitl added but a lew items to this export not half a dozen in all. The animals are captured by means of lassos slipped up their legs by the daring Moor and Malay hunters of the Eastern province, men belonging to families who have been engaged in the pursuit from time immemorial. This process of exportation has been going on since the time of the Punic war, and yet until recently, indeed until long after the British had posesVion of the island, there was uo sensible diminution in the number of elephants. Now their number must be getting considerably thinned. The cultivation of so many of the mountain ranges with coft'eo has driven them from many of their ancient haunts, and the opening" of roads has enabled r-uropean sportsmen to louow tiiem into tnc lowland jungles, while the extended use of fire arms by the natives adds to the annual slaughter. That slaughter probably equals the annual ex port, so that with -UN) elephants di.-poned of an nually, it is clear that the time is approaching when those animals, even in the remote juugles of Ceylon, will be few and far between. For cus toms purposes, the exported elephants are valued at VM each, tic fact that no duty is levied accounting, no doubt, for the low valua tion. In ludia the tluc of a good animal is often beyond 100, :, ml even CM). Those em ployed in road-making in Ceylon have been con sidered expensive, in view of the large quantity of food they consume, aad their liability to sores and disease". Hut Mr. Molcworth, the present head of the department, declares that the num ber of elephants is too small, and requires to be increased, these animals being invaluable us masons. They require years of training, how ever, and measures are being taken to obtain young elephants from Ihc Eastern province. Anutlic. .V clergyman in Virginia says: "Yesterday I preached tlio funeral sermon of a man, and to day 1 married his widow to another man." The Southrons arc getting sprightly. TERRA COTTA WORKS.
