THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 19, 18C9, THE JUNE MAGAZINES. "PUTNAM'." From the arttclo on "Ferdinand do Lcsacps" we Uke this about the work of cutting the Suez Canal: "Of tho Immense lalor of the excavations and dredfcings mada in this work, chiefly by mn chinos invented by M. Lnvalluy, one of the con tractors, all visitors speak, .with admiring won der. This, and tho erection of tho moles, or sea walls, were tho two great dilllcultics of tho tusk accomplished by M. do Lesseps; for tho mere cutting a ditch through tho narrow neck of the level Isthmus was a small job, and tho dilllcul tics of the drifting sand, so much discussed, were as imaginary as thoso of the difference ef level of tho two seas. For the Isthmus is not com posed of shifting sands at all: much of It is a Lard, gritty, rocky soil, through which tho cut tings arc very laborious. Much of tho canal pauses through largo lakes, and only at two points of tho whole lino is there any apprehen sion about sand at all. "But to nuiko a port on the shifting sandbank, la shoal water liable to overflow by tlio sea, where Tort Said stands, as well as to keep open the mouth of tho canal 'kin labor, hoc opus el.' Vlicn the twenty thousand laborers, promised find given by Said Pacha, were taken away by the two Sultans, Turkish and English, at Con iitantinoplc, human intrenuity aided hy steam came to the rescue of 1. de Lcssops, and M. La vallay's iron giants have done well tho work of many thousands of men. "M. do Lesseps has described this more graphi cally than any other could when lecturing at Fans tlie other day, on his return from a visit lie had just made to his canal. Referring to the results of one month's work, from the 15th July to 15th August last, ho says: '1 dare say few nmong you will realize what is represented by this enormous quantity Of excavation. Were this placed in tho Place Vendome, it would fill the whole square, and be five times tho height of the houses. Or laid out between the Are do Trioruphe and the Place de la Concorde,, it would cover the entire length and breadth of the Avenue des Champs Elysees, while reaching to the height of the trees on cither side, a distance equal to a niilo and n quarter. Iu dredging tlio Clyde, It took twenty-one years to execute three aud a half times the amount the company does in one month; and at Toulon the same results as on tho Clyde were obtained In nine years.' " Mr. Charles A. Munger discourses thus about linls in June in the paper entitled "Four Ameri can Birds-" "The month of beauty, the month of song, tho mouth of all tho months is June. Tho birds, with all their wealth of voice and plume, are with us now, They are calling to us from tho forest, challenging one another in the meadow, piping iu the orchard, Hashing through the eh rubbery, building in the porches, dancing in the threshold, aud peering into our dwellings with disdainful looks, which seem to say, MIow rude, how dull, how gloomy, are your "homes I' Sit down, I pray you, with me iu my quiet library here, this pleasant afternoon, and I will have a familiar chat with you about some of our birds, their manners and their melodies. See, yonder, beneath that glass ease (which I will remove, that you may observe more closely), where those four specimens of the taxidermists skill are perched, looking almost as if alive. " Poor fellows ! they will never sing again they hare piped their last; but could you have heard them quiring their melting madri gals, you would have thought some careless angel had left the gates of heaven ajar, and strains of the celestial anthem were stealing upon your ear; such a quartetto would these dear American birds have sung for you. One would have carolled to you of the orchard, another of the meadow, another of the wild wood, and another of the summer-night. They are our own birds the Old World knows them not and each iu his own sphere is without a rival." Mr.G.P. Putnam, in discussing "Some Things in London and Paris," gives this aceouut of a visit to Dore's studio: " 'Would you like to visit Gustavo Dwc's Btudio?" Wouldn't 1 1 With a card from llachcttc's, we were not long in finding it even without a number or name to indicate it for probably it is the only isolated studio in Paris built for the purpose it must certainly be the largest. An artist who paints pictures 30 feet long and 21 feet high, must have a studio of his own; and theso are the dimensions of the last reat work of Dore, which we saw on his nearly or quite finished. The sub ject is Christ coming down from the Judg ment Hall of Pilate some twenty or more life-size figures fill the canvas. The competition for such a work must be somewhat limited for what galleries less extensive than the Louvre can hold such a canvas ? Iu the spacious studio, at this moment, there were also more than a dozen large pictures, all recently painted by this almost miraculous artist (.marvellous at least, uo far as facility aud amount of work are con cerned) including figurc-pleecs from Dante and irom tho JUtrtaummvr Avjlits Dream Rossini in his bed after death, and two very beautiful forest scenes all theso being about six or eight feet high. One might think that Dore's pencil drawings might have occupied any one man for a lifetime, but to see these enormous aud elabo rate works in oil, going on simultaneously, one's wonder grows in proportion to their square feet. But for the janitor's assurance that no one but the master himself touched the canvas, we might guess that a large part of the work was done by pupils. Dore himself is a surprise, for he Is, apparently, still on tho sunny side of tbirty-tive. In feature lie is not very unlike Thomas Nast, whose pencil comes nearest on our side to that of the French prodigy. Mr. Bore received us with that quiet and unpretend ing manner which marks tlio modesty of true merit; and though we avoided usiug minutes that must be money and much money to a man who can do such tilings as he does, yet ho kindly cxplaiued the chief points in his recent works, in a simple and sensible fashion, and gave us the impression that he was a true son of genius. Aud yet even a novice may guess that his drawings are not all faultless." Foreign lAterary Item. Professor Morlcy has completed the second et of his useful and handy "Tables of English Literature." This set reaches from 1400 to KU5 A. D., and shows tho whole of tho noteworthy literary productions of each year in its horizon tal liues, while its successive vertical lines give every author and all his works. Tho tables aro a conspectus of English literature, of use alike to the student in a lecture-room and the reader or writer In his study. In the tables of the later periods, for tho student, ouly tho chief books and authors are to bo mentioned; but for tho mora advanced reader supplementary sheets aro to bo issued, showing all the minor men and their works. It is very pleasant to take ono of (Shakespeare s great years, say louu, and run your eye along its lino In tlio tables right and left, and see what other literature was brought out ttlongsiuo oi nis piays. The Early-English Text Society's first issue for this year is now in course of delivery.

Three very unpleasant things havo happened which It is as well to lobk in the face. 1 irst in importance, and closely connected with tho other two. comes the spcoch of Mr. Sumner in the American Senate. It Is shortly this: "You English aro responsible, if not for all the ex penses of our civil war. at least for moro than half of them; and we will not be satisfied unless you ray us several hundred millions of pounds sterling, and make an amplo, not to say abject, apology into tho bargain. Incrcaso yonr national debt by about 50 per cent., and creep in tho dirt before the United States, and perhaps we shall forgive you, perhaps also we shall not." Tho second thing is the riot nt Derry. Prince Arthur, in the courso of his Irish tour, undertaken for tho sake of trvinrr tho effect on the Irish people of a small doso of ' royal favor, arrives at Derry. Tho prentice boys of Derry, under the color apparently of doing him honor, turn out in what would appear to havo been an Orange procession. Tho usual consequences follow in the shape of a desperate riot, iu which tlio constabulary "had to charge several times." Three men were shot dead on the spot, and "order was only restored when tho 54th Regiment turned otit and patrolled tho streets." The scene of the third Incident was Cork. The mayor of that city presided at a dinner given to tho two released Fenian convicts Warren and Costello. He made a speech in favor of Irish nationality, looking forward to the day when Ireland might defy England, and upset the existing (jovcrnnient. Ho said Allen, Larkin, and O'Brien "ought to bo remembered nd respected as good patriots." lie described O'Farrell. tho assassin who was hung at Sydney, as a "noble Irishman," who. "when lie fired at the Prince in Australia, was imbued with as noble nnd patriotic feelings as Larkin. Alien, and O'Brien were," which is probably true. Warren and others made similar speeches, which appear to have been received in a very en thusiastic manner. Add to these incidents the murders, agrarian or otherwise, which have very recently occurred in Ire land, and it must, we think, be admitted that matter enough exists to make us feel un comfortable, to say the least of it. The insults and threats levelled sit us from tho other side of tlio Atlantic by one of tho most prominent public men in America arc echoed at home by a man holding au important public position, while the old-standing wounds of Ireland break out iu riot and murder, collective and individual, and under circumstances which make it impos sible to doubt that there is a close connection between tho crimes which wo witness, the threats which we hear, and the impression which is created in Ireland by the course of policy which we aro pursuing for'tho express purpose of con ciliation. These are facts which ought to make us think a little. ' What lias been aud is the cause of these insults ? We need not go very far to look for it. It is to bo found in the opinion which prevails widely both l:i tho United Mates ami iu Ireland that the I-.nglish nation is afraid of them both. They think that they havo a hold on us, that we know it, and that we arc beginning to suffer that knowledge to affect our general conduct aud policy. Large numbers of Americans, who contrast the language of our press at the height of tho civil war with the almost servile tone which it has assumed towards America audits institutions since tlio close of the struggle, and who dwell with natural satisfaction on the enormous and rapid develop ment of military force which they were able to make under pressure, conclude that we are frightened. Many Irishmen draw a similar in ference from the fact that the coal of the Liberal party for the disestablishment of tho Irish Church proceeds from the terror produced by the Fenian rising and the Clerkcnwell explosion. The advent to power of Mr. Bright, with his strong American sympathies and his horror of war; the sentimental and philanthropic reputa tion of Mr. Gladstone, and iu particular the feelings which ho has 60 often expressed as to Irish misgovcrunient, and tho importance of conciliating tho feelings of tho Irish; and. last of all, that most unhappy measure, the release of the Fenian prisoners, have gone far to produce In the minds of our many ill-wishers a conviction by no mcaiiB unlike that which had so much effect upon tho Emperor Nicholas fifteen years ago, that the spirit of tho country has sunk, and that it is now much safer to insult us than it used to be. That under such circum stances wo should meet with abundance of in sults is only what was to have been expected. It is highly important to consider what amount of truth there is in this impression, and whether or not it is to bo suffered to remain undis turbed. As to the first question, it is. we fear, im possible to afiirm th: L the impression is alto gether unfounded. It is a melancholy truth that we have been considerably frightened at the state of Ireland, at its relation to America, at the unexpected development of tho military power and tastes of the United States, and at the feelings provoked by our mistake in giving our moral support to tho wrong side in tlio civil war. With regard to the Irish, again, many people in this country, some of them men in high au thority, have most undoubtedly been trigutencu, not, as wo pointed out tlio other day, at tho prospect of being defeated by an Irish rebellion, nit at the prospect ot naving to suppress it by force, such force being employed to defend somo things which arc distinctly indefensible. So far wo must submit to the imputation of having been afraid. Unwelcome as the truth is, there is no good iu denying it. Tho future, however, is still in our power, and the question whether the English nation ought to permit itself to be insulted is ono which, when stated in plain terms, answers itself. Of course, no one would say yes to it, but tliero is considerable eason to tear that many people win give an answer which, though not an affirmative in terms, will liave ull the effect ot one. luey win seek, us cowards always do, to avoid the necessity of vindicating their "character nnd position bv denying that it has been attacked. They will try to extenuate me importance or sucn lan guage as Mr. Sumner's, aud to deny the signifi cance of such acts as aro continually taking place in Ireland. They will treat as an absurdity the notion that any one can suppose that tho British nation is frightened, or act upon tho sup position of tho existence of such a feeling. Iu a word, they will uo their best to induce us an to pocket tho affronts put upon us, und.to manage matters in such a way as to show as little as possible tho nature of the load which we carry I .. rfM.t. i -1... .....II ...-... I. 1I..1....1 in our pocheis. mis is uiu hi-itowuiwiicu and well-understood procedure of every bully and coward who finds himself overmatched; and those who do not wish their country to play that part amongst tlio tuitions of tho world would do well to consider how brave men usually act under dilliculties. Whatever else they do, they invariably do three tliiugs they acknowledge the existeneo of their dlilleu ties, tike their measure, and march straight up to them w ith a clear determination in their own miuds as to the kind and degree of resist ance which they mean to oppose to them. This is the proper course to take in tlio present in stance. We ought clearly to acknowledge that uicru iu uanger, winch under lavorahlo circum stances would become. rressin of foreign war with tho United States and ol civil war In Ire land. It is also true that, except in so far as it puts us morally In a better position, our policy with regard to tho Irish Church will for the mo ment rather aggravate than diminish these dan gers. It win ue attributed, and not quite incor rectly, to fear, and it will ti enemies. Unfortunate as this Is, it 1b not,"u8 wo have already pointed out. the measure, though it certainly is a cons7dera- tiou wiucu detracts iroiu us vaiuo. With regard to tho courso to bo taken for reasserting our position, wu hoi ri'v.in. uuij m very general terms. As to Ireland, we clearly ought to dud- lsh aud suppress in tho most determined nnd unqualiueil way every act or word which falls within tho province of tho criminal law; and wo shall have abundaut op portunities at no very distant date of showing clearly what it is which wo do not mean to con cede to priests on tho one hand or to rebels on the other. With regard to America, mcro vio lent language and outrageous demands made un ollicially by individuals, however distinguished, call for no notice ou tho p.irt of tho nution at largo, liut the lino ol policy to be followed hm the advantage ot being perfectly elenr, and Mr. Sumner's speech will at least enable our Gov ernment to draw it with the most unmistakable plainness. We ought to be willing and ready to discuss tho qneatlon of individual losses imme diately caused by any act which can bo regarded as negligence on our part; but as to entertaining the question ot paying general damages for ro cognizlng the Confederates, we ought to be pre pared to fight first, at all hazards aud disadvan tages. Wo may perhaps consider on some oilier occasion the more general remedies which the present state of things roquires. SPEOIAL. NOTICES. jgy- OLD OAKS CEMETERY COMPANY OF PHILADELPHIA.
