REVIEW OF NEW BOO KS.
From Turner Brothers & Co. we have
received 'The Mill in the Floss," the second
Toinme of the "Honschold ' edition of George
Kliot's work, in coarse of publication by
Fields, Osgood & Co. If "Adam Ijetlo made
the fame of George Eliot, this novel confirmed
it and placed the writer in the front rank of
English novelists. It is a story of peculiar
nd fascinating interest, and the delineation
f the characters is dono with a uixstor hand.
It is written in that clear, eloquent, and
graphic style for which George Eliot claims
precedence ove any living novolist; and
while, it is rich in tho humor, the eccen
tricity, and tho fascinating oommonplivcenoss
of English home life, tho impending catas
trophe is induced with tho regularity and
certainty of a Greek tragedy. Powerful as
some of the scenes of "Adam Bedo" are,
there is nothing in them that exceeds in
profound pathos tho concluding chaptors of
this work. In prosonting a neat, elegant,
Mid cheap complete edition of George Eliot's
works, the publishers are doing a genuine
service to the reading public, and this at
tractive series of five volumes will be a
prized addition to many a library.
D. Ashmead sends us "Elements of the
Greek Language." This is an abridgment
of the large Greek Grammar of Professor
Iladley, of Yale College a work that has a
well-deserved reputation with Greek scholars.
This abridgment Las been made in compliance
with a general demand from teachers for an
elementary grammar that will bo better suitod
to the wants of beginners than tho larger
work. Tho main plan of Professor Iladley
lias been adhered to, with only such modifi
cations as were absolutely necessary, and a
clear, concise, and practical analysis of tho
principles of tLe Greek lnngungo is given,
which will give the student a solid basis upon
which to pursue further investigations.
From the same house wo have received
"New York Ulastmled," a well-written de
scription of New York and its suburbs, illus
trated with numerous engravings of all the
principal buildings and points of interest in
and about the city. A plan of New York is
also given and a strainer's guide, which visi
tors will find useful.
Turner Brothers A Co. and Claxton, Kern
sen A" Haffellinger send us "Henry Esmond"
and "Lovel tho Widower,'' both of which are
given in one volume for the low price of fifty
cents.
From Claxton, Iicinsen & Ilafifollinger we
have also received "Countess Gisela," by E.
Marlitt, translated by A. Nahmer. This is a
new version of the fascinating German tale
with which tho public is already familiar
through tho translation of Mrs. Wister.
From T. Ellwood ell we have received
Nos. 41) and ".() of "Zoll's Popular Encyclo
pedia," which is brought down to the title
"Burton on Trent."
Howard Challen, No. 1 :5(s Chosnut street,
sends ns a convenient "Wash Book," de
signed for the use of ladies and ladies' board
ing schools. This is so arranged that it will
be found an easy nutter to keep a correct
account with the laundress, anil it cannot fail
to be useful in private families as well as
schools.
Tlie Jour nil of the Franklin Institute
for September contains, besides a variety of
other interesting matter, Professor Henry
Morton's report upon the transactions of tho
Philadelphia Photographio Expedition to ob
serve the solar eclipse of August 7. The re
port gives a concise and lucid explanation of
all the operations of the expedition, and it is
illustrated with a fine photograph of the
eclipse and a number of interesting wood
cuts. In tho next number will be published
the reports of those in charge of various de
partments. MARK TWAIN1TIES.
Mr. Greeley is going to lecture on tho Byron
scandal. We have no authority for making
this statement, but then it makes an interest
ing item of news, and tho inexorable business
of a newspaper is to collect interesting news.
Another Samson gone. Tho pioneer manu
facturer of fine tooth combs in this country
has just died in Connecticut. What were the
achievements of the jaw-bone of an ass com
pared with the performances of this man's
humble little instrument?
The last soldier of tho Revolution, who goes
on with his dying constantly, and will for
years to come, is thus reduced to formula:
"The old man, survivor of the Revolution,
more than one hundred years old, who always
rose with tho sun, never drank anything in
his life stronger than brandy and sugar; who
has eut two cords of firewood daily every day
except Sundays for tho last sixty-uine years;
who invariably walked five miles before
breakfast, who is the father of thirty-eight
children, the grandfather of two hundred
grandchildren, and the great grandfather of
thirteen great grandchildren; and who would
shortly have been the great great grandfather
of one great great grandchild, is dead. Aud
now we hope nobody will disturb the good old
man any more."
The wonderful two-headed girl is still on
exhibition in New England. She sings duets
by herself. ' She has a groat advantage over
the rest of her sex, for she never stops talking
to eat, and when hhe is not eating she keeps
both tongues going at once. She has a lover,
and this lover iH in a quandary, because at one
and the same moment she acocpted him with
one mouth and rejected him with the other.
He does not know which to believe. He wishes
to sue for breach of promise, but this is a
hopeless experiment, because only one-nan
of the crirl has been guilty of the breach.
This tdrl has two heads, tour arms, and four
. lees, but onlv one body, and hhe (or they)
is (or are) seventeen years old. Now, is
Kne ner sistertf-m buo iwiu r vr, uovmg
bnt one bodv ("and consequently but one
heart), is tshe strictly but . one person ? If
the above-named young man marries her will
he be guilty of bigamy ? This double girl
has only one name, and passes for one girl;
but when she talks back and forth at herself
with her two mouths is Bhe soliloquizing?
Does she expect to have one vote or two ?
Has she the same opinions as herself on all
subjects or does she differ sometimes?
Would she feel insulted if she would spit in
her own face ? Just at this point we feel
couipoiled to drop , this Investigation, for it is

The Pruatifm Staat-t-Anzrifnv hr.s the fol
lowing interesting exhibit of the production
of coal in Prussia and Great Britain:
"According to the reports of the inspectors
of mines in Great Britain, there were, in
1867, 3105 coal mines and 3;W,lKi miners,
producing about lor,078,000 tons (2,1.1',18'V
000 centners 20 'JJ centners oqual One ton),
while in 1808 the production had decreased to
about 104,r0O,(XO tons (2,121, 000,000 cent
ners), and the number of workmen,
however, had risen to JIM!. 820, and
the number of mines to 32!1. Prussia
produced 420,r71,ll centners of coal in 1H'J7,
with 42 working mines and 102,773 miners,
and in 1WIH the same number of mines, with
K)t;,.il8 workmen, delivered 4.t,48ii,i!iJO
centners of coal. The coal production of
Great Britain in therefore,exceeded that
of Prussia five-fold; in istix, however,
the excess in favor of England was
only 4 i fold. Fourteen years previously, in
1S."4, tho coal pro luctiou of Great Britain,
which was about (I7,.,il,000 tons (1,312,!18,
300 centners), exceeded that of Prussia,
which amounted to 1;5',22.",0!m; centners,
nearly ten-fold. Taking into account now
the acquisition of territory by Prussia in
this period, deducting the production of the
lands annexed in amounting to 7,881,.
840 centners, from the total Prussian produc
tion as above given, there remain 4 1,i!04, 820
centners as the production of the old Prussian
provinces, or about tho 4-7th part of the
amount produced by Great Britain. "While
tho coal production of Great Britain lias in
creased within this period of fourteen years
forty millions of tuns (812,000,000 of cent
ners), or 02 per cent., the production of tho
older Prussian pro , inces has been increased
310,370,721 centners, or 2278 per cent.
"Tho avcrago pioductionof coal to each
mine in Great Britain was, in 18(18, about
(!(!4,000 centners, or (1110 centners to each
miner; in 1807 the proportion was (('.", 000
centners to each mine, and 0308 centners to
each miner. In Prussia the average produc
tion of each mine, in 1808, was 1,0(17,000
centners, or 4273 centners to each miner; and
in 1807, 0s7,ti0 c"ntncrs to each mine, and
1(102 centners to u:.A miner. According to
this tho average production of coal by the
British miner is lsi.t centners, or 13 percent,
higher than that of .the Prussian minor; the
reason for this may bo looked for in the more
favorable positions of English mines, their
extent imd the use (' improved machinery in
them. Besides, the pay of the English miner
is much higher tii m that of his Prussian
brother.
"Tho number of .accidents, in 1807, in fie
mines of Great Brit. tin resulting in the Io-h
of life was 0O7, by which 1100 persons, or
3'.")7 per thousand miners, were killed. In
tho mines of Prussia, in tho same year, there
were 200 accidents -musing fatal results, by
which 203 men, r - '8l per thousand miners,
lost their lives. According to this there is in
Great Britain ono tv -so of accidental death to
every 280 miners employed aud 1,702,400
centners of coal pro. iuced: and in Prussia one
death falls among every 3"2 workmen and
1,4 10,157 centners of coal. A comparison of
the killed in relation to the total number of
miners employed i-t, therefore, in favor of
Prussia; while in regard to tho amount of
coid produced, tho ft ivautago is on tho side
of Great Britain. In the district of Clausthal
one death occurs to every l,830,8."i2 centners
of coal produced; iu tho district of Breslauto
every 1,720,178 centners; and iu the districts
of Dortmund and Bonn 1,4 17,803 and 1,131,
2.3 centners respectively. The number of
miners killed in the year 1807 in tho two
countries is apportioned to the various kinds
of accidents as follows:
