THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAFII PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, AUGUST 31, 18C0. un3n.ATun.13. M Y I X W OF NEW BOOKS. AtTTOBiooRArnT or a Bhakf.r. By P. W. Evans. riibliRhed by the author at Mount Lebanon, N. Y. "We reml this work with considerable atten tion, in the expectation that we would be able to gain a clear idea of the Shaker Rystom. Jfr. Evan is one of the principal elders of that Btrango sect, and he therefore Bpeaks as one having authority. All that we can gather from it is that Sbakerism is a phase of what is now called Bpiritualism; but beyond this the book reveals nothing that the world does not know already, and the Shaker creed, if there is one, is as much a matter of doubt as ever. Mr. Evans relates the story of his own conversion in a tolerably understandable manner, but the greater portion of the book is a Beries of rhapsodical effusions that are entirely beyond the comprehension of the uninitiated. After reading it we know no more about the Shakers than we did at the lieginning. Some of our readers may wish to know something about Ann Lee, the founder f the ' Shaker sect, and we therefore quote the following sketch of her life: "Ann Lee wn born February 2!), 17:30. In Toad lane (now Todd's street), Manchester, England, llcr father, .lolm Lee, was a blacksmith, anil poor; with lilm flic resided until she luftEiiirJaud lor America. J ler mother was esteemed a very pioim woman. They had ciht children, who were (as was then common lor poor children) brought up to work, instead of foelnir, sent to Fchool; by which tucars Ann acipdred a habit of Industry, but could neither write nor read. Dur ing her c hildhood and youth, she was employed in a cotton factory, and was afterwards a cutter of hatters' fur; and then a cook in an infirmary. JHlio was In every calling noted for her neatness, faith fulness, prudence, and economy. "Her complexion was fair; she had blue eyes jind lifiht chestnut hair. Her countcuauce was expressive, but grave, inspiring coutklcuco and rwpeet. Many called her beautiful. "She possessed a strong and lieutthv physical constitution, and remarkable powers of mind. At times, when under the operation of tie; Holy Spirit, her form and actions appeared divinely beautiful. The influence of her spirit was then beyond description, and she spoke as "one hav ing authority. "In childhood she exhibited a bright, saga cious, and active genius, She was not, like other children, addicted to piny, but was serious and thoughtful, She was early the subject of reli gious impressions, and was often favored with hcavcnlv visions. "As she grew in years, she felt an innate re pugnance to the marriage stats', and often ex pressed these feelings to lier mother, desiring to be preserved therctrom; notwithstanding which (through the importunities of her relatives), she was married to Abraham Stanley, a blacksmith. The convictions of her youth," however, often returned upon her with" much force, and at length brought her into excessive tribulation of eoul, in which she earnestly sought for deliver ance from the bondage of sin, and gave herself no rest day or night, but spent whole nights in laboring and crying to 4oJ to open some way of ealvatiou. "In the year 115S. the twenty-third of her age, she joined a society of people who; be cause of their indignation against sin in (hem pelves, often shook, and (by the .Spirit) were fchaken, and hence by the rabble were desig nated Shakers. The society was under the lead of Jane and James Wardley, formerly of i,he Quaker order. The people of that society were blameless in their deportment, and were distin guished for the clearness of their testimony against sin, the strictness of their ino.'al disci pline, and the purity of their lives. "The light of this people led them to make an open confession of every sin they had commit ted, and take up finally and forever the cross against everything they knew to be evil. This endowed them with great . power over win: and here Ann found that protection she had so long desired, and which corresponded with her faith at that time. She was baptized into the same Fplrit, and, by degrees, attained to the full know ledge and experience of all the spiritual truths tf the society. "Her statement is: 'I felt such a sense of my Bins, that 1 was willing to confess tuem before the whole world. I confessed my sins to my elders, one by one, and repented of them in the name manner. When my elders reproved me, I felt determined not to be reproved twice for the name thing, but to labor to overcome the evil for myself. Sometimes I went to bed and slept; but in the morning, If I could not feel that sense of the work of God thut I did before 1 slept, I would labor all night. This I did many nights, and in the daytime I put my hands to work, and my heart to God, and the refreshing operations of the power of God would release me, so that I felt able to go to my work again. "'Many times, when I was about my work, I have felt my soul overwhelmed with sorrow. 1 used to work as long as 1 could Keep it con cealed, and then would go out of sight, lest any one should pity me with that pity which was not of my God. In my travail and" tribulation, my sufferings were so great, that my flesh consumed upon my bones, bloody sweat pressed through the pores of my skin, and I became as helpless as nn Infant. And when 1 was brought through, and born Into the spiritual kingdom, 1 was like an infant just born into the natural world. They Bee colors and objects, but they kuow not what they sec. it was so with me; "but, before I was twenty-four hours old, 1 saw, and knew wh it 1 saw.' "Ann was wrought upon after this manner for the space of nine years. Vet she often had in tervals of releaseinent, in which her bodily utreugtli and vigor were sometimes miracu lously renewed; and her 6oul was filled with heavenly visions and Divine revelations. By these means, the way of God and the nature of His work gradually opened upon her mind with increasing light and understanding. "She spent much time in earnest and inces nant cries to God t show her the foundation of man's loss, what it was, and wherein it con nisted, and how the wav of salvation could be discovered and effectually opened to mankind in their present condition, and how the great work of redemption was to be accomplished. "Ihe ultimate effect of the labor and suffering of soul that Ann passed through was to purif v and fitly prepare her for becoming a temple iii Which the Christ Spirit, that had made the first appearing to Jesus, and constituted him Jesus Christ, could make a second appearing; aud through whom the God of heaven could set up a church, or 'kingdom which should never bo de stroyed.' "While Ann, for bearing her testimony against fleshly lusts, which war against tho soul,' was Imprisoned in Manchester, England, she saw Jesus Christ in open vision, who revealed to her the most astonishing views aud Divine manifest tations of truth, In which she had a perfect and clear sight of the 'mystery of Iniquity,' the root and foundation oi an numan uepravuv. ! "From the time of this appearing of Christ to Ann, in prison (1770), she was received by tho people as a mother iu spiritual things, and was thenceforth by them called Mother Ann. "Tho exercises in their religious meetings were singing and dancing, shaking, turning, and shouting, speaking with new tongues, and prophesying, with all those various gifts of the Holy Spirit known in tho Primitive Church. These Kilts progressively increased, until the time of the. full organization and establishment of the banker Church in America in tho year J 71)3. "On the Wtu of May, 1774, Mother Ann, with eight of her followers, embarked in the ship Marlah for New York, where they arrived on the 6th of August following. They proceeded to Albany, and thence to Waiervlict, which was at pjut; time a wilderness, and Ciilled, N.tjkounu, where they remained very secluded for about three years and a half. "Mother Ann, having finished her work on earth, departed this life at Watcrvliot, on the 8th day of September, 1784, aged forty-eight years and six months." From Claxton, Itenisen 4, naffelfinger we have received "Dens Semper." By the author of "Semper Dens." This is one of asucces Bion of religious works which the success of "Ecce Homo" called forth, which are pub lished under titles which assimilate an closely as possible to the great original, which seek to excite curiosity by being issued anony mously, which grow more and more obscure in style wifh each succeeding issue, aud which we cannot help ascribing to a sort of religious humbuggery that is not altogether reputable in tho writers. The author of the work before us labors through 4:5" pages, ostensibly for tho purpose of giving roligious instruction to his readers, but like tho Shaker rhapsodies mentioned above, it is utterly beyond tho scope of ordinary humanity. Wo candidly confess that we have no idea what tho author is driving at, and we do not believe that ho knows himself. There has been quite enough works of this class published, and persons who have any ideas on religions sub jects that nro worth giving to the world wil do themselves more credit by striking out a new path for themselves, rather than by fol lowing in the wake of a worn-out sensation. From 1). Ashmead we have received "Diomede," from the "Iliad'' of Homer, trans lated by William li. Smith. This is a spirited rhymed translation of tho fifth book of tho "Iliad'' by nn Alahamian. Tho book itself is one of the most animated find graphic in tun whole of tho great epic; and tho translation will compare favorably with any that have preceded it. In a brief preliminary note, Mr. Smith gives a concise account of tho various English translations that have appeared, with critical comments that indicate that he is fully qualified for the task ho has undertaken. From tho same house we have received "Mademoiselle Fifty Millions," by tho Coun tess Dale; translated by Adelaide DcV. Chan- dron. This is a capital French novel, which deserves to be extensively read. It forms No. ! of Appleton's cheap and attractive "Library of Choice Heading." From T. 13. Peterson & Bros, we have re ceived "Sibyl Huntington," by Mrs. Julia C. 11. Dorr. 'This writer is known by several in teresting stories of American home and country life. The work before us is written in a pleasant vein, and it will doubtless find an appreciative circle of readers. From T. Ellwood Zell wo have received Nos. 1:1 and 4 1 of "Zell's Popular Encyclo pedia," which reaches tho title "Branch." Tho valuable character of this important work becomes more apparent as it ndvances. KItKiAMlACE IX 7.IEXIC0. t'tinriic'lerintlcN of the Professional Higliwiiy inaii. Tho New Eclectic Magazine contains a strik ing article on highway robbery in Mexico, from which we take tho following para grnphs: "A Mexican will seldom risk his life for tho property he carries with him. llo will pro mise to do so, and will carry a pistol for tho purpose, but when the time for action arrives ho is sure to turn up missing. Of native cowardice and duplicity scores of examples in this connection iuif.;ht be cited, but one will sntlice for this article. In tho cemetery at Jalnpa a siinplo stone marks the spot where sleeps a young American, Vorke by name He, in company with seven Mexicans, loft the City of Mexico in tho morning diligence for the East, and by way of the national road. All were armed wifh revolvers. As some of the party carried money and valuables, it was agreed before starting to light their way through. Each man on tho first alarm was to alight, take position as ho saw fit, and fire without orders. Yorke carried two Colt's revolvers. No robbers appeared nn I il some live leagues east of Jalap i, when a baud of lateen issued from the thiek under brush, and immediately opened a heavy tiro with vistols and carbines upon tho diligence. Yorke, as agreed upon, jumped from tho ooich, calling upon his comrades to follow, and, taking a posuiou, returned tho lire. JSot a solitary passenger moved from the vehicle; he stood alone, with tho tiro of tho wholo gang directed towards him. lie fired eight shots, then fell dead. The fiends then rushed upon him, and literally hewed his body to ii. :.. . .1 n:.. ,.:t. ,.K..t. pieces wuu ineir Mioren. jun uiyui. nuun killed three and wounded four more of tuo assailants. His fellow-passengers delivered up their arms, were bound, robbed, stripped of their clothing, ami almost beaten to tieani. hcu the roads are too well guarded tuo bandits turn oil' into tho interior, and swoop suddenly upon somo defenseless village, com mit murders, sack it, and sometimes burn ii, then decamp without loss, carrying off tlriir booty. Complaints go up to tho capital, and troops are sent into tho lawless district; but iu tho meantime the baud has fallen upon. another village in a distant province. In these remote districts colonels and captains are clotnoa wnn exiraorumury powers in brigand cases. They seldom refer a case to higher authority; they apprehend, and w'u ni tho evidence is clear, execute the offenders in from two to ten hours after capture. Fre quently tho shooting follows tho instiut after capture. Tho prefect of a can' on has similar jurisdiction in special cases, and he exercises his power without stint or hesitation. Here is a case in point: Two years ago two Americans travelling overland from tho liio Grande, stopped over night at a town in the State of Vera Cruz. Employing a guide, they set out for tho port of Vera Cruz. Journeying southward, they were ambuscaded in a barranca by the com rades of the guide, who murdered and st rip ped them, and taking their horses, lied to tho mountains. On the following day the prefeot oi mat canton pursued with a score of sol diers, and on the third day overtook and cap tured the murderers. He carried them to the spot where the tragedy was committed; the evidence seems to have been conclusivefor without form of trial, and within smut of he graves of the two dead men, ho swung them Iroin tlie nearest trees. The bandits were left Hanging lor weeks as a testimony of Mexican justice. But this swift punishment does not deter men trom engaging m the business of outlawry. A Mexican brigand dobs to his death with as much self-possession as he does to the confessional. "These gentlemen of the road are often fine-looking fellows, dashing and polite, aud exceedingly well dressod. Now and then a Bpark of the ltobin Hood gallantry shows tsclf. They are not wanting in profession honor either, nod at times they exhibit a Aish. of good nature that is enrious and diverting. Some time before the evacuation of Mexico by the French, while pessing from Mazatlan on the Tacilie to Gnadaliara, in the diligonco, with a ,rarty of throe ladies, four children, and an old man of seventy, a well monnted, well-organized troop of ten men overhauled us. To show fight under the circumstances would have been madness; hence we submit ted gracefully, losing money, watches, arms no more. It was a timo when the road swarmed with bandits, some under tho Liberal flag, others independent. A view of the situ tion indicated very clearly our condition. The next band finding no money, would take our clothes and rifle our baggage. The next, finding nothing else, would take our lives. Indeed, when a man puts himself in tho way of being robbed here, it is necessary to have something to bo robbed of. His per son will suffer for his poverty. There is no remission for tho sin of travelling with an empty purse. Our case was submitted to the robber chief, and tho old man our Spanish spokesman was eloquent and complimentary. His logic"seemed irresistible; for, without a wood of parley, the chief wheeled his horse, ordered his men in front and roar of us, and motioned the driver to push on. He re mained with us all that day, drove off and talked off no less than four robber bands, and saw us safely in the garrila at Guadal jarn. Sinoo tho close of tho late war I saw on the streets of the capital this same robber chief, now an officer high iu rank m tho na tional army. "A well-organized band makes no attack unless certain of a prize. Each band has its emissaries in the towns on the road where it operates. Tho number and nationality of each load of passongors ore accurately re ported at the principal rendezvous in time to attack; spies watch every movement of tho traviller. The exposure of watches or jew elry or money at stations is sure to provoke attack. If arms are aboard and carried by Americans or English, tho prizo must bo a rich one to induce an assault. They abhor an armed 'Gringo' (American), and dislike to war on women, liutlians as many of them are, thry rarely commit great outrages upon ladies. But it has occurred more than ouce, and with circumstances of horrible cruelty. "A life's experience has made them adepts in the business of robbing. They aro swift and' noiseless in their researches. An expert bond will relievo a dozen persons in n twink ling. Your purse, watch, or shawl goes be fore you have time for reflection. You won der, when it is all over, how it could have happened. They have a wonderful nndnittt for rings, diamond pins, and jewelry of nil kinds. When tho spoils are gathered, and your baggage ransacked, tho polite bandit lights a cigar, offers one to eaeli passenger, and, bowing low as he turns, spurs rapidly away, and is lost iu the dense ehaoparal. "From childhood a Mexican is taught tho use of the lasso. He catches his mules and cattle and horses on the prairie with it, and if he chooses to adopt the life of an outlaw, his past practice ensures success in catching men. Jio sits a horse gracefully, and rides wherever man can rido. If he is alone, and fears the bullet or lance of his contemplated victim, ho resorts to the lasso. Biding on tho table land west of San Luis in the month of May, the writer was brought face to face with two horsemen, olio pursuing tho other. They were, at a gallop. Tho pursuer, when within forty yards of his victim, loosenod his lasso from the saddle, swung it round his head for half a minute, and as he spurred forward, dropped it like a loop over tho traveller's head. He then turned his horse's head, struck across the plain, and brought his prey to the ground. Drugging him a short distance over the grass, he alighted suddenly, rilled tho pockets of watch, purse, and pistols, nnd was off like the wind before a bullet could reach him. "Tho Government has resorted to every species of legislation to break up the system. Tho criminal codo is nearly uniform ia all the States. Stealing a horse, stopping the dili gence, forcible entry of a building with the theft of the simplest article, are all crimes punishable by death. In n country liko Mexico, however, it must not be presumed that justice alwr.ys overtakes the evil-doer, even when ho is fairly caught. Money has many uses, ono of them being to compromise cases in short, to purchase the lives of criminals. In this laud there is no hope for a man destitute of friends and money. For such there is but one way. He passes tho processes of tho law without delay, goes out with the pitiless guards,reeeivestho well-aimed shots, and the majesty of the law is vindi cated. Then there is a blast of trumpets in tho newspaper in praise of justice in this republic. Extenuating circumstances ore sometimes seen in aggravated cases, the tongues of witnesses grow dumb, or the con victed murderer or robber is spirited off to another State. It is money that is potent to arrest the bullet, that buys witnesses, and that opens the prison gates to the greatest and most notorious brigands and criminals in the land. On.cial corruption permeates through every brunch of the courts, nnd tho sum of it is beyond conception. There are well au thenticated eases in every canton, of attorney and judge bidding against ouch other for ad vice to release u criminal anni cheat tho law; instances, and scores of them, where ten dol lars and twenty dollars saved the lives of men, and where the want of that amount sent others to felons graves. "Although the law condemns tho system of brigandage, society as a mass does not. It is not an uncommon tiling lie-re lor a noted rob ber to be admitted into the best of society nnd rise to civil distinction. The antecedent's of most of tho military men would not bear rigid investigation. hn a mail abandons tho road the doors of society are opened to him. The worst phase of chivalry is a living reality iu Mexico. If it has degenerated into brigandage in tho eyes of tho outside world, bo sure natives do not 'see it in that light.' It is a Custilian offshoot, and revered still as in olden times. Tho ballad that has lived longest in Mexico is one that extols the bundit knight, with 'horse aud lance and lady,' as the embodiment of the noble and heroic. No doubt the government is earnest in its efforts to crush tho life out of brigand age. For this the civil and military forces wage incessant war upon it. But it is the few grappling with the many; law and order battling with long-accepted custom. Never theless, the slaughter of lad rone abates not. Tho death-penulty, the rattle of musketry, the hundreds swopt monthly into robber graves, scarcely create a lull in the great national business of pnstumo-iiig, robbing, and throat-cutting." A few days ago Mrs. Denny, a resident of Trinceton, Ky., purchased a lot of duck eggs, carried them home, and for convenient use, placed them in her bureau drawer, where they remained undisturbed until Friday, when her attention was called to the bureau by an unusual noise therein. Upon pulling out the drawer, to her utter astonishment, she found three young ducks hatched out and scratcb PC WVOT for freeflow Varmonth Herring. tnm All the 'tar Round. Herrings are not alone the arms; they are the very legs of Yarmouth. The town lives on them, and stands by them. In 170H Yar mouth had only sixteen fishing boats, Lowe stoft twenty-four, and the Yorkshire men forty. In is:v.l there were one hundred Nor folk boats (chiefly Yarmouth) to the forty or fifty of Yorkshire, the whole employing a capital of two hundred and fifty thousand pounds. In these present times, a recent able writer says, there are t wo hundred Yarmouth boats and forty Yorkshire and Sussex cobles, catching every season six or seven score mil lion herrings, of the value of two hundred thousand pounds. The mackerel fishing em ploys one hundred boats and fourteen hun dred men nnd women. Every mackerel lug ger costs seven or eight hundred pounds, and carries eighty or a hundred nets, each twenty yards long by eight aud a half broad. Every herring boat is worth from six hundred to a thousand pounds, it is calculated that half a million of money is, one way or other, invested at Yarmouth in reaping the fish harvest. The herring har vest commences at the end of September, and the glittering millions of overpopulation with which the North Sen then teems are drag ged out for ten consecutive weeks. A recent topogr.ighical traveller has collected with pa tient cure and skill some curious close-pressed facts on tho subject of Yarmouth's ceaseless industry. On those rough Uctooer nignis, when the sands froth and boil crimson in tno slant light of the red beacon, these Norfolk seas are literally coagulated wnn nerrings, and tho nets bring them up in tumbling heaps of looso and spangled silver. A single lar mouth boat has been known to bring in from twelve to sixteen lasts, each last being ten barrels, or ten thousand herrings! Oak-logs, tho crow is informed, are used to smoke tho lest herrings; but the Birmingham bloater being of a lower caste is seasoned by hazel wood and lir loppings. A smoke house, half malt-kiln, half "oast " house, is a largo oblong towtr, forty or tiTty feet high, without floors. Above are trans verso compartments divided by partitions of horizontal rails. In these open racks or "loves" lie the laths or "spoofs." The herring, arriving by cart from the beach to fulfil his destiny for the good of a higher species, is first thrown with his fel lows into a brick recess, sprinkled with salt, and left for several days. The duration of tho vaporous purgatory depends on the destina tion of tho fish. It ho be a Belgravian bloater, a bloated aristocrat, he merely hangs twenty-four hours until ho begins to swell with self-importance, and is prepared for packing; if a "Straits mart," for the Mediterranean ports, he lingers longer: if he be a mere black herring, for tho eliund' ts, or t lie tally shop, bo serves his full ten days, nnd eiierges hu'-d, dark, and salt. On emerging from their bath the her rings are run through the gills bv g rags of skilful women called "ryvers," who "speet" them on long sticks; eight women speeting eight lasts of herrings (.thirteen thousand two hundred herrings to a last) in a day. For each last the women get three shillings and nine- pence, the speets are then placed by climb ing men on the loves, tier by tier, until the smoke-house is full, iho fire is then lighted, tho oil begins to distil, and the herrings slowly turn yellow, dusky orange, dingy red, or black, according to tho duration of tho Rooking. "Last veene of all that ends this strange eventful history," comes tho packer, who removes tho speots, aud strips the lish into tho barrels in tho radiating order in which they are to lie, until each barrel has its regulated seven hundred and fifty (thirteen dozen to the hundred.) The scenes on tho old jetty when the mack crel boats aro coming in and the fish auctions ore beginning, are very picturesque. This moment there is nothing visible but a few bald flag-staves marking the auction stand, tangles of straw, piles of madder-colored nets. heaps of baskets and empty oily tubs, some old mermaids in blue aprons, and some old fishermen in oilskin dreadnaughts and long boots. Some tan-colored sails lop round iu sight. Instantly the jetty comes to life. Tho ferry boats mounted with iron skat es are shoved down to the water and warped out; the tubs are also rolled down aud got ready. The boats come in, crowded with mackerel baskets. The nautical women gather round tho auctioneer, who stands with n red book in one hand, and a bell in tho other. He rings tho bell, and announces, with true Saxon brevity, "Hero I have so many hundred and so many quarters at so much a hundred." The baskets are in stantly emptied into tubs half full of water, and the women wash and pack the perishable fish in layers (sixty mackerel to a basket), six score to the hundred, the largest fish on the top. Straw is spread over tho fish, down go tho lids of tho baskets, scaly hands tio tho reddened strings, scaly hands lift tho loads into quick railway carts, and off they fly to expectant London and hungry Birmingham.
