THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, MAY 28, 18G9. iirERATunn. J Jf V 1 E W OF N E W BOOKS. From J. B. Lippincott fc Co. wo have re ceived "The Qmikcr Tai-tUnns," a utory of the Revolution, by the anthor of "The Bout." The incidents of this tule are based upon the fact that during the war of Independence members ti the Soeiety of Fricuds, while "till claiming to bo "Friends," withdrew themelvc from the freat body of the society, and orKanlacd troops, composed of their own in em tiers, to assist in the rrcat (trnpRlc. The exceptional features of this case furnish the author with his apology for giving the public another Btory on the aire dy well-worked subject of the Revolution. The peenes of the narrative are laid in the vicinity of Philadelphia, and the adventures of the Quaker jmrtlfans arc stilliciently exciting to satisfy the wont exacting reader of romance. Mcccrs. Turner Urolhr.ro & Co. send us "Vanity Fair," the first volume of the "House bold" edition of Thackeray's novels, published by Fields, Osgood fc Co. It is not necessary to enter upon a diHCtiHsion of this masterpiece; it is already a classic, and it is one of those works that will he remembered and read while Knglish literature endures. The publishers, however, In issuing an edition of Thackeray's works in the ityle of this volume, will supply a desideratum. Other cheap and popular editions have been attempted in this country, but they never reached a complete set, and none of them com bined in an cijual degree the (piaUtics of ele gance, legibility, and cheapness us in this in stance. Messrs. Fields, Osgood it Co. sustain the well-won reputation of the old house of Ticknor it Fields as the publishers of good works, and their imprimatur is of itself a guar antee of excellence. This edition of Thackeray's works is published in the same style as the "Household'' edition of Charles Kendo's novels, which was so deservedly popular. The volumes are clearly printed on good paper, and they are neatly bound in green morocco cloth, so that Ihcy will present an attractive appearance on the shelves of a library. The volume before us is embellished with a fine steel portrait of Thaekcrny. It is proposed by the publishers to include- in this edition "Vanity Fair;" "I'enden nis;" "The Newcomcs;" "The Virginians:" "Philip;" "Henry Esmond;" and "Lovel the "Widower," which will be issued in six volumes. "Wc hope, however, that the set will be extended oas to include all of Thackeray's stories, essays, sketches, and poems, many of which are not known to the general public as they deserve to !e. The same house sends us a cheap paper cover edition of "Vanity Fair," which is pub lished at the low price of lil'ty cents; No. 7 of Tlie Vocalist, which contains "Her bright iiniles haunt mc still" and other popular songs; mid Our Hoy ami tiirlx, edited by Oliver Optic, for Saturday, June 5. The 50 cent edition of "Vanity Fair" has also been received from Claxton, Remscn & Hallelfingcr. Wc have received Nos. 10 and 20 of "ell's Popular Encyclopedia," which readies the title "Athanasius." This work contains an immense amount of information in a small compass, and us a work of general reference it will be in valuable when convicted. The low price, tcu cents a number, places It within the reach of all, and it ought to have an immense sale in all parts of the country. Tlte Schovldai Visitor for JUiue, published by Daughaday Si Bechcr, has a sullicieut variety of entertaining articles on a great number of subjects to suit all juvenile tastes. Our Own for June, conducted by Fannie Warner, has a number of pleasantly written stories, sketches, poems, etc., which will doubt less find appreciative readers. A ISiiby Oruii-(tan. From the interesting work on "The Malay Archipelago," by Allied Kussel Wallace, which we noticed a short time ago, we take the follow ing rtccount of a young orang-utaug or inias, which the author succeeded in capturing alive: While carrying it home it got its hands in my beard, and grasped it so tightly that 1 had great ditliculty in getting free, for the lingers arc habitually bent inward at the last joint so as to iorm complete hooks. At this time it had not a , single tooth, but a lew days altcrwards it cut its two lower front teeth. Unfortunately, I had no milk to give it, as neither Malays, Chinese, nor Dyaks ever use the article, and 1 in vain inquired for any female animal that could suckle my little Infant. I was therefore obliged to give it rice water from a bottle with a quill in the cork, which after a few trials it. learned to suck verv well. This was very meagre diet, and the little creature did not thrive well on it, although I lidded sugar and cocoa-nut milk occasionally, to make it more nourishing. When 1 put my linger in its mouth, it sucked with great vigor, draw ing in its checks with all its might in the vain cftort to extract some milk, and only after per severing a long time would it give, up in disgust, and set up a scream very like that of a baby in similar circumstances. . . . When handled or nursed it was very quiet afid contented, but when laid down by itself would invariably cry, and for the first lew nights was very restless and noisy. I littcd up a little box for "a cradle, with a solt mat for it to lie upon, which was changed and washed every day, and 1 soon found it necessary to wash the little inias as well. After I had done so a few times, it came to like the operation, and as soon as it was dirty would begin crying, and not leave oil till I took it out and carried it to the spout, wheu it immediately became quiet, although it would wince a little ut the first rush of the. cold water, and make ridiculously wry faces while the stream was running over "its head. It enjoyed the wiping aud rubbing dry amazingly, amfwhen I brushed its hair seemed to be perfectly happy, lying quite still, with its arms and legs stretched out, while I thoroughly brushed the long hair of its back and arms. For the lirst few days it clung desperately with all four hands to whatever it could lay hold of, and I had to be careful to keep my beard out of its way, as its lingers clutched hold of hair more tenaciously than any thing else, and it was impossible to free my self without assistance. When restless it would struggle about with its hands up In the air try ing to unu something to take Hold ot; and wheu it had got a bit of stick or rag in two or three of its hands, it seemed quite happy. For want of something else it would often sui.e its own feet, and alter a time it would constantly cross its arms and grasp with each hand the long hair that grew just below the oppoMtc shoulder. The great tenacity of its grasp noon diminished, and I was obliged to invent some means to give it exercise and strengthen Its limbs. For this purpose I made a short ladder ot three or lour rounds, on which I put it to hang for a quarter of an hour at a time. At lirst it seemed much pleased, but it could not get all four hands in comfortable por tion, and after changing about several times, would leave hold of one hand after the other and drop to the lloor. .Sometimes, when hanging oulv by two hands, it would loose one, aud cross it to the opposite shoulder, grasp ing its own hair, uud, as tills seemed much more agreeable than the stick, it would then loose the other and tumble down, when it would cross both and lie on its buck quite contentedly, never seeming to be hurt by its numerous tumbles. Finding It so fond of hair, I endeavored to make an artiliciul mother, by w rapping up a piece of biiflalo-skin into a bundle, and suspending It auout a foot from the lloor. At lirst this seemed to suit it admirably, as it could sprawl its legs about and always find some hair, which it grasped with the greatest tenacity. I was now in hopes that I had made the little orphan quite happy; and so it seemed for some time, till il began tv rewwiiUT JU 1M parent uud try U sock. It would pull itself tip close to the skin, and try about ererywhero for a likely place; but, as it only succeeded in getting monthfuls of hair and wool, it would be greatly disgusted, and screnny violently, and, after two or three attcmpt&T'lct go altogether. One day it got some wool into Its throat, and I thought it would have choked, but after much gasping it re covered," and I was obliged to take the imitation mother to pieces again, and give up this last at tempt to exercise the little creature. After the first week 1 found I could frcd it better with a spoon, and give it a little more varied and more solid food. Well-soaked biscuit, mixed with a little egg and sugar, and sometimes sweet potatoes, were readily eaten; and it was a never-failing amusement to observe the curious chnuges of countenance by which it wonld express Us 'approval or dislike of what was given to it. The poor little thing would lick its lips, draw in its checks, and turn up its eyes with an expression of the most supreme satisfaction when it had a mouthful particu'.arly to its taste. On the other hand, when its food was not sufficiently sweet or palatable, it would turn the mouthful about with its tongue for a moment as if tryinir to extract what tlavor there was, and then push it all out between its lips. If the same food was continued, it would set up a scream and kirk about violently, exactly like a baby In a passion. Alter 1 had had the little mias about three weeks, 1 fortunately obtained a young hare-lip monkey (Maeaeus cyiuunolgus'i, which, though small, was very active, ad could feed itself. I placed it in the same box with the mias, and they immediately became excellent friends, neither exhibiting the least lour of the other. The little monkey would sit pon the other's st( -much, or even on its face;, without the least regard to its feelings. While I was (ceding the mias, the monkey would sit by, picking up all that was spilt, and oeeasionalfy putting out its hands to intercept the spoon: and as soon as i bad (inishtd would pirk li what was lett stick ing to the mias' li . and then pull open its mouth and see it any still remained inside: after wards lying down on the poor creature's stomach as on a 'comfortable cushion. The little helpless mias would submit to all these insults with the most exemplary patience, only too glad to have something warm m ar it, which it could clasp allectionatelv in its arms. It sometimes, how ever, had its revenge; for when the monkey wanted to go away, the mias would hold on as long as it could by the looce skin of its back or head, or by its tail, and it was only after many vigorous jumps that the monkey could make his escape. It was curious to observe the different actions of these two animals, which could not have dif fered much in age. The mias, like a very young baby, lying on its back quite helpless, rolling lazi'lv from side to side, stretching out ail four hands into the air, wHiing to grasp something, but hardly able to guide its lingers to any de finite object, and when dissatisfied, opening wide its almost toothless mouth, and expressing its wants by a most infantine scream; the little monkey, on the other hand, in constant motion, running aud jumping about wherever it pleased, examining everything around it, seizing hold of the smallest objects with the greatest precision, balancing itself on the edge of the box or run ning up a post, and helping itself to anything eatable that came in its way. There could hardly be a greater contrast, and the baby mias looked more baby-like by the comparison. The baby unfortunately died at the end of six weeks. UMIKi: THE SKA. The Projected KuiKviiy Itetwccn Dover and t'tiliti. F'or some years past there has been a con siderable amount of attention directed to the probability of effecting a communication be tween England and France without the necessity of undergoing what to so many persons is re garded witli lcelings of aversion the short seu passugc. The idea of making a tunnel under the tUraits of Dover was suggested to Napoleon the First, but then the scheme merely contem plated a carriage way and footpaths on each side of the road. In 1MT M. du Uamond prepared, with great elaboration, his plans for a tunnel, zona iiKirin, between England and France, show ing the por-ition and dimensions of the various shafts and plans of a central dock, to be con structed in the Straits. Mr. Kcniington, an English engineer, also prepared plans on the same subject, and Mr. Ilawkshaw, the engineer, has for some time past been engaged in taking preliminary soundings and surveys for a tunnel. A distinguished French engineer, desirous to avoid the making of a tunnel, boldly suggests the construction of a bridge across the Channel. To this list of projects may now be added one which shows that in the matter of crossing the Channel more than the usual three courses which are applicable to ever' matter are available. The. Channel, for instance, may be crossed above by means of a bridge, upon it by steamer, and be neath by a tunnel. A fourth mode proposed is that of going neither above, upon, or below, but through the body of the water in the Straits. It is actually proposed to build a tube, sink it paiV dally, and support it in the water in such a 1111117.' ner as to admit of the passage through, it ojf trains, or a double line of railway. A more daring engineering scheme was probablv never . ,,...,.. ' it .,,..,..1 ,1,.,, ii,.. ,',,1... I,.,. -il 11 Jb la j 'I tuu ii . '11 iuul iwi j the railw ay snail ue iani across iroiii ine iMignsit to the French coast, and be supported at a depth of 50 feet below the surface of the water by iron stanchions or tresscls, the feet of which will rest upon the bed of the straits. The tube is to be in its outside diameter 'i feet ti inches, and with a view of giving it sufficient strength to resist the pressure of the weight of water: to sustain the weight ot the trains between the points of support; and allow for the decay cuu-ed by the action of the water, the tube is to be of cast iron, 8 inches in thickness, being nearly twice the thickness of the armor-plates of the Warrior iron-clad. The length of the tube between each pair of legs or supports is to be MOC feet, aud the weight of each of these sections libUO tons. Each of these lengths of :100 feet is to be made up of eight segments of 87 feet ( inches, and these are to be firmly bolted together by means of 100 steel bolts'passing through the internal tlanges of each length of tube. Ask the bold engineer how these segments are to be put together fit thu water, and lie explains the matter in the most practical manner. Each segment will lie made watertight by a bulkhead, and will be lowered until it is brought into exact position with the portion previously lixed, and when made fast by the bolts the near bulkhead will be removed, and the workmen will pass on to the next sec tion. The stanchions which will have to carry the tube are made, as it maybe supposed, of enormous strength, 'i'licv will vary in length according to the depth of the water. The largest will be Hiti feet in length; it will be formed hol low, tapering from each end to thu middle, where it will be 7 feet inches in diameter, the ends being 5 leet b inches in diameter. They will be cast in three, pieces, and bolted together by cast steel bolts 011 inside (hinges. The weight of each ol there legs or stanchions will be 454 tons. In order to give them a sure foothold at the bottom ol the sea, they will be fastened by bolts to discs of metal ):, lect in diameter, and weighing 85 tons. To prevent any lateral motiou, the feet of these stanchions will" be held together by tension bars 100 leet long, and weighing tiO tons, and a similar tension bur, though of less length, will connect and hold the stanchion at tho upper ex tremity. 1 he bolts ih.a urcto hold and keep the stain; Hons apart weigh not less tliun4!i tons each iho tiaiisver.-e strength of the tubu when 1,.'.

The pressure of the flow ot the tides will be equal to 4501bs. on every squn.e iooioi the cross sectional area, but the stanchions are calculated to be of suilident st rengih to resist any movement from this cause. I he v. nidation ol the tube is to bo provided by stationary .team power at one of the en trances to the tube, which will force a suffi ciency of air through a channel con structed, along tho Inner roof of tho tube to a point : about midway of Its entire length, where it will be discharged and forco itself along the tubo to cither cud, providing at tho same time a perfect system of ventilatiou. The drain ing of tho tubo is duly provided for; tho water will bo collected in the lower part of the tube, and as the locomotives pong through they will take up the water in a trough, in tho samo manner as the engines arc supplied on the ton don and Northwestern Railway while travelling. Tho costing of the various portions of tho work is to be done in a dock to bo formed on the coast, and the various portions, as they are cast, arc to bo lloatcd by letting in water, and taken out to sea by pontoons, to which they will bo attached by suitable chains. The cost of this extraordinary work is set down from ten to fif teen millions; tho designer of the plans being Mr. Purkis, thcsnglnccr. A I'arndUc lor the Impecunious Ilecchcr-si lltprriencc. Probably there is no place in the oonntry where persona are so peetered with calls from friends in pecuniary distress as New York. One from the provincial regions coms on a visit to Gotham and inns short of fnnds. He applies at once to some friends for the where with to get home, and the said friend in nine caBss ont of ten "comes down." Thonsauda flock here to the metropolis of the Nw World in qneBt of employment, and gt home again only by means of enforced loans extorted from acquaintances. Some of onr promintnt men are constantly sub jected to appeals of thU ctiaraotMr. This is particularly true of Henry Ward Beetber. He recently remarked in conversa tion that a day did not pass without bringing him one or more applications (or relief. Mauy persons called upon him for money to pay a hotel bill or get back home, who, claiming to have made his acquaintance at such and such a place, were sons of warm friends of his, or brlopged to the Congregational Church. Mr. Eeecber stated that he had made loans to in dividuals from all over the country, putting forth these and similar pleas. Ue had never known his money to come back except in one instance, and that was when he loaned to a poor negro woman. He reoeived about $25,000 annually, and fully one third of this sum was given away to uhaiitable objects and ap plicants for aid. Mr. Ucecher added, in the course of his remarks, that he believed that the great majority ot charitable institutions were injurious and deleterious. Many of them were started by nrpriuclpled individuals for money making purposes, who put into their own pockets the lion's share of the moneys contri buted for the aid of poor children or others under their eare. Charitable institutions, when started from honest motives and hon estly conducted, were very apt to enoourage a spirit of dependence, and to destroy the manhood and energy of those to whom they rendered assistance The reverend divine made several other observations to the same effect. One has to put his foot down hsre, unless he would have his extra change con stantly drawn off by mendicant acquaint ances or friends in pecuniary trouble. It is very often hard to turn away an acquaint ance of long standing, but an absolute reso lution never to lend is about the only thing here in New York which will prevent a poor man's pocket-book from being in a constant State of depletion.
