REVIEW O F 'NEW BOOKS.
Mfhtal rinixwopiiY. By Thoman C. ITphaiu,
I) V Two volnnidH. rnblUhed by Harper
'lJrothers. rhibwlelphia agents, Claxton,
Hansen & Haffelfingor.
Tiis is a careful revision of Tiofossov Up
bnm's original work, inHUeil many years ago,
and which has been esteemed one of tho best
treatises on mental philosophy, for use as
a school and college text-book, ever insuort. The
present edition has been subjected to the
areful revinion of the nuthor, who his con
denned in some places and enlarged in others,
until it nppearH as substantially a now work.
All the results of tho latest philosophical inqui
ries have been made use of to render the
work os complete as possible, and in its new
form the treatise will undoubtedly obtain a
new lease of favor.
Professor Upham has endeavored to give a
just and dispnHsionate account of the leading
principles of mental philosophy, availing him
self of tho investigations of the different
flchools without giving his exclusive adherence
to any. The work is thus essentially eclectic
in character, and the author's idea has been
to lay open tho truth wherever it is to be
found. The rule3 of inductive philosophi
sing have been adhered to, and the author has
submitted his conclusions to the subjective
test of his own mental experiences. Tho en
deavor throughout has been to make the work
as clear and piacticul as possible, and it is
therefore admirably adapted for a text-book.
From Turner Brothers Sr Co. wo havo
received the fifth and concluding volume of
Fields, Osgood & Co.'s "Household" edition of
George Eliot, containing "Silas Marner" and
"Scenes of Clerical Lifo.' These last are the
admirable series of sketches that first brought
the author into notice.
Apropos of George Eliot, we have received
a note from Harper A Brothers, suggesting
that injustice has been done them in our re
hiarks about the rival editions in course of
publication by their house, and that of Fields,
Osgood A Co., and they request tho publica
tion of the following:
"Efforts having been made In certain quarters to
excite the sympathy and compnsKion of the public
and the press ou account of our issuing, from our
old plates, a cheaper and better edition of George
Ell-it's novels than thn one published by fields, Os
good A Co., we think It proper to siy in explanation,
and In reply to the unjust attacks upon us:
"That we wero the llrdt to publish th':se works In
this cr.uutry, ond lhat for the early sheets thereof we
have paid from time to time In the aggregate the
Bum of live thousand dollars in (.'"Id.
"Hamper 4 Brothers.''
Ve are not conscious of having done any
injustice to either party in this controversy,
and we endeavored to sum up tho merits of
the rival editions with perfect impartiality.
The card of Harper A Brothers, however,
nuggests that it is time for the American
publishers to come to some sort of
a definite understanding with each other, so
that these quarrels betwoen rival houses may
cease. We do not know, of course, how
much of the five thousand dollars paid by Har
per & Brothers actually went into the pockets
of tho author herself, but in the absenoe of
a copyright law, it was more than she had
any right to expect, and, according to strict
justice, it would seem that they had a claim
upon her to tho extent of their gratuity.
English authors have complained bitterly that
they had no protection in this country against
piracy, but they have not always shown a dis
position themselves to act with the most per
fect fairness. The price paid for advance
sheets is, under the existing arrangement, a
gratuity on the part of tho American
publisher, and the moral claim that
this gives him is his only protection. Tho
English authors, however and some of the
most prominent of them, like Mr. Dickens,
at that have shown no hesitation about sell
ing their works two or three times over to
American houses, or as often as they can find
purchasers; and the publishers, being thus
without even the moral support of the author's
endorsement, have the more excuse for de
clining to pay anything for English books, if
they are liable at any time to have rival edi
tions sprung upon them which claim the re
gards of tho public from the fact that the
author is interested in the profits. This
method of securing two payments may be all
very pleasant for a time, but it seems very
much like killing tho gooso that laid the
golden egg. There is, of course, something
to be said upon both sides of this question,
but tho various little "unpleasantnesses" that
have occurred lutely botweon tho different
publishers indicate the propriety of a more
definite arrangement than exists at present.
The immediate result of this quarrel, how
ever, is to put upon tho market good books at
such exceedingly low prices that they are
placed within the reach of all. Tho public
are therefore the gainers, even if the pub
lishers and authors derive no profit.
Turner Brothers A Co. also send us the
first volume of Fields, Osgood A Co.'s
"Household" edition of Thackeray's miscella
neous works. This contains "The Memoirs
f Barry Lyndon," "The Great Hogarty
Diamond," "Novels by Eminent Hands,"
"Diary of C. Jeames de la Fluche, Esq.," and
other minor writings, which aro among the
most enjoyable of Thackeray's works. He
never wrote anything finer than "Barry Lyn
don" or "The Great Hoggarty Diamond," and
his sketches and burlesques are in a vein that
was peculiarly his own aud peculiarly in
imitable. From tho samo house we have received
Our Hoys ttnd Girls for October 10 and tho
October number of the XIX Cen lury muga
2ine, published at Charleston, H. C.. which
presents a variety of articles of different
degrees of literary merit.
The Democratic papers In Kentucky are
engaged in a lively dlbcuesiou about party man
agement and party principles. Ono of the coun
try papers have discovered that there is after
all such a person or thing as an ''impracticable

mistakes prejudices for principles, Ignores facts,

LADY TALMfiRSTON.
Frm tp4 fiittimlaif tierirn.
The character of Lady ralmorston has boon
described in the 1'imM by a writer who w,vs
evidently well acquainted with the subject of
his essay. On his authority, and on the evi
dence of general repute, it may bo assumed
that no more capable person has ever pre
sided over a political and fashionable drawing-room.
Lady Palmerston properly devoted
all her energies to tho promotion of hor hus
band's interests; and iu cultivating his popu
larity she both served his party, and inciden
tally she contributed to the comfort and good
humor of a large and various society. Tho
tact, the temper, and t he general accomplish
ments of a statesman's wife are advantages as
legitimate as birth or fortune, or a dignified
personal bearing; and it happened that Lady
l'almerston, after her succession to tho
estates of her family, possessed tho means for
exercising a splendid hospitality. As Foreign
Minister in the Cabinets of Lord Melbourne
and Lord John Russell, Lord ralmorston pos
sessed great power, while his pecuniary cir
cumstances were still comparatively narrow:
lint it is probable that Cambridge Houso and
its mistress had something to do with tho un
contested supremacy which ho enjoyed in his
vigorous and genial old ago. Tho privilege
of mingling three or four times iu a season
with a weS-drossed crowd, of shaking hauls
with a Minister, aud of bowing to his wife,
is not perhaps extraordinarily valuable; but
tho leader of a party is loss likely to bo
thwarted by an habitual guest than by au
austere stranger who happens only to be a
political adherent. Tho Cambridge House
receptions afforded Lord l'alnierslou an oppor
tunity of exhibiting tho cordial demeanor
which ho had probably cultivated the more
sedulously because he found it natural and
easy. His own personal sympathies wero, as
ho showed on more than one occasion, exclu
sively aristocratic; but probably all the world,
beyond tho limits of his own private circle,
was to him equally welcome and equally in
different. It was tho business of his wife to
avoid for luin as far n3 possible nil occasions
of giving personal offense, and it would seem
that she discharged her duty with remarkable
skill. Although Lord ralmorston took no in
terest in literature, its ropresontnfives were
admitted to his houso, if their succo.iS had
given them social position or political im
portance. All guests who wero worth court
ing and winning were gladly received, aud
those among them who were distinguished by
rank or by personal emiuence served the ad
ditional purpose of acting as decoys to tho
common herd.
It may well be believed that tho organiza
tion and management of such assemblies re
quired feminine ability of a high order. A
cynic or a political purist might object that
there is no reason why a man should govern
a great country because he has a clover wife;
but it is not easy to disentangle tho gifts of
Fortune from the other conditions of power
with which they may happen to bd inter
twined. Lord Palruerston would probably
have been Frime Minister if he had been un
married or if his wife had been an unambi
tious recluse; and if ho was indebted to Lady
Palmerston for any portion of his political
triumphs, the result which sho may have
achieved was not necessarily inconsistent with
the public interest. Knowledge of human
nature, displayed personally or by deputy, is
not an insignificant qualification for tho
rulers of men; and it is especiidly necessary
where political power is concentrated in tho
hands of a privileged class. The relative im
portance attached respectively to measures
and to men varies largely in proportion to tho
numbers of those who share directly or indi
rectly in the Government. The House of
Commons intuitively trusts its ablest leaders,
although they may perhaps discountenance
plausible changes in legislation or in politics;
and the constituencies, on the other hand,
judge a Minister by tho comprehensive
nature of his professions, and to a certain
extent by his performances. For them tho
gifts and graces of a statesman's wifo
whom they will never see possess no pos
sible attraction. With tho enlargement of
the electoral body tho personal preferences of
members have become comparatively insigni
ficant. A statesman who has alienated half
his followers, or who needlessly irritates his
adversaries, may defy discontontod adherents
as long as he enjoys the confidence of the
country. The change is not wholly advanta
geous, lor the nearest observers aro the best
judges of character, and men are, in an as
sembly which governs instead of merely pass
ing laws, even more indispensable than mea
sures. It is highly improbable that Lady
Palmerston should ever have cared for politi
cal doctrines. If the doors of Cambridge
House were once more open, it would bo
almost useless to conciliate members who
know that they will be rigidly called to ac
count by their constituents; yet voluntary
support is, on the whole, preferable to com
pelled obedience. It may perhaps have been
partly the merit of Lady l'almerston that in
her timo there were no Caves or tea-room se
cessions. Tho kind of influence which she
exercised is not to be confounded with tho
mischievous interference of intriguing women
in courts or cabinets. It was never suspected
that she had any object except the exaltation
and security of a husband who reserved to
himself the choice of his political coursa.
nen a woman wlio has got the ear of a king
or of a powerful statesman fancies that sho
has political or religious convictions of her
own, sho becomes nn intolerable nuisance.
The disgraces of Louis XIV's later life wero
largely attributable to tho piety of Madamo
de iluintenon; nor aro more recent instances
wanting of female pressure exercised in the
same direction. In England, sinco the Revo
lution, the power ot royal wives and
mistresses hus been restrained within
narrow limits; and it happens that Ministers
have never allowed the reins of. government
to pass into femalo hands. Between the
Duchess of Marlborough and La.lv l'almerston
it would be difficult to find , any statesman's
wife who was supposed to have any perceptible
share in his elevation, and with all her faults
the Duchess of Marlborough was exclusively
loyal to her husband. Fox, who willingly
accepted the worship of ladies of rank, always
contrived to inspire them with a devotion to
his own person which was w holly independent
of his principles or his policy. Iu the next
generation Lady Holland used her utmo-.t
efforts to promote tho interosts of the Whig
party, without affecting interest in any doo-
trines except those which her friends han-

It is difficult to imagine tho existence of an
American Lady Puluierston, although many
women in the Uuiteil States may possess the
same Kina oi iuouuies as lully. i;ven a
President s wife would have a less distinctive
position, and she would have to deal with
more impracticable materials. It would bo
hardly worth while to win over Senators and
Congressmen when the next election would
probably remove thorn from power; and the

rnco, which is naturally and properly adinin
iHti red by women, will become less and loss
effective; but as long nn aristocratic candidates
enjoy an advantage in th" competition for olFieo
anil for power, there will be room in
a narrower and contracting sphere for com
petent successors to Lady l'almerston. The
minor diplomacy of ordinary intercourse is
most skilfully managed by women, and it is
their proper function to make up quarrels, or
rather to nvoid them. The most virtuous of
ministers will prefer an acquaintance to a
stranger, and a frierid to a privnte enemy,
and the man whose wife has tho best judg
ment and temper is likely to have the small-,
est number of unpleasant collisions. The
mistress of a house which is frequented by
the most eminent members of society has a
cheap bribe always at her disposal. Even if
some ltoland the Just, with ribbons in his
shoes, rejects her overtures, he probably
prides himself on his patriotic self-doniai.
Yet it is necessary that the model wife
should, if possible, teach her minister not to
thwart her well-niennt efforts by defects of
manner or of temper. The chief ornament
of Lady Pnlnierston's drawing-room was Lord
Pidmrrston himself, who, according to his
well-in formed eulogist, always shook the baud
of a guest with a special air of gladness, even
when he was unacquainted with his face and
his name. The flattering recognition which
implied no personal knowledge sooms to have
been regarded as satisfactory by tho sternest
Liberals; ond it would have been unwise to
throw away so easy and convenient an instru
ment of popularity. Lord Melbourne, who
was incomparably superior to Lord Palmer
ston in refinement, in cultivation, and in the
speculative qualities of intellect, was, not
withstanding his equally genial disposition,
far less widely popular. His wit, his ori
ginal wny of thinking, and his natural
sincerity would perhaps have been
more readily appreciated or tolerated
if an adroit wife had supplied the common
place requisites of social intercourse. Lord
l'almerston threw all his powers into practi
cal business, and in his hours of recreation
he was content with tho level of any company
in which ho louna himseu. it was a satistac-
tion to an ordinary member of Parliament
to find that a formidable minister was in pri
vate life apparently little more than his
equal. Lady Palmerston made the most of
highly favorable opportunities, enforcing by
example the moral that tact is ono of tho
most useful of qualities, and that, more than
any other virtue, it is certain to be appre
ciated. Tlic Idiom of Our Tiew West.
The fresh idomatic phrases and "slang"'
words that pour in on tho ear of tho traveller
through our new West, and especially in its
mining districts, will greatly amuse and in
terest him. The language seems to be find
ing an invigoration among those hearty and
candid residents ot the borders ot civilization.
They are not drawn, indeed, from "the well
of English undeliled;" but they bubble up
from fresh springs, sometimes all sparkling
with wit and meaning, and many of them
will win their way and keep their place in
the common stream of our mcthor tongue.
What wealth ot new words and new
meanings for old ones would Shakespeare
not have gathered up in n week's lifo
among the . miners of White Pine, for in
stance ! "You bet" is an emphatic affirmative;
"get up and get an earnest command to go;
"pan out,'' borrowed from washing sands for
gold, signifies turning out or amounting to
thus a man or a speculation "pans out" good
or bad as tho case may he: "weaken is widely
used to express all kinds of failing or failure;
a fanely-dressed woman "rags out; a hum
bug or cheat is a "bilk:" a loafer is a "bum
mer;" "shebang" is applied to any sort of a
shop, houso, or office; "outfit" to anything
new you have got; and "affidavit" compre
hends everything for which no other word is
handy; "bull-whacking" is driving an ox
team, a business m which the present Sena
nator Stewart, of Nevada, began his
life in that State; "how" is adopted
from the Indians as an abrevia-
tion for "how do you doV or "how
are you?" "peter out" stands again for
failure; "bed rock" for the end or bottom of
things; "show" or "color" indicates promise
or prospect; the Spanish "corral" is adapted
to any sort of capture or control as that a
broker had "corraled" the stock of n certain
company; a "biled shirt" is a white one;
"square" anything excellent or perfect; "on
it" siguifies an earnest pursuit of any special
end, and applied to a woman settles her
character the wrong way; "you can't prove it
by me," a general doubt or denial; "none of it
in mine," a declination; and so on indefinitely
almost, a new phrase or word coming up into
society from below every little while, having
its run or trial, and becoming a pormanency
or ; becoming banished, as it is found to
stand the tests of taste and of genuine mean
ing, or not. Samuel Bowks.
liitia Cotton.
The cotton commissioner of the Berars and
Central Provinces of India has issued his re
port of exports to Bombay for tho past sea
son. He estimates the amount at 273,000
bales, compared with L'L'0,000 in 18ti7-S, and
27!,0OO in 18(i(5-7. Last year tho heavy mon
soon caused much cotton to remain in store
till late in tho autumn. This year, owing to
high prices and the continued dry weather,
almost all that has been grown has been scut
to tho coast. Khangaon and Oomrawuttee
have now earned such a reputation for tho
staple that the produce of remote districts in
the Nizam's and Scindiah's territory is
brought thither in order to try and pass under
the good name of the favored markets.
Presses ore generally resorted to. Tho
Great Indian Peniusular Railway affords
every facility for transport and delivery to
tho consignee, and tho result is that ctiiTiiiyo
by rond has almost ceased.
The branch lino now under construction to
Khangaon. and the probability that Oomra
wuttee will shortly bo connected with the
main system, will add still more to tho im
portance of these placos, while the completion
of the railway from Kundwa to Jubbulporo
will increase the area of cotton cullivatiou in
tho latter district and in Iloshungabad, Nur
singpoor, aud Dumoh, which, even under
present circumstances, have nearly !0,0 o
acres devoted to the plant. Indigenous seed
is found to answer better than exotic, espe
cially when, as in tho case of last year, the
plant has partial drought to contend against.
To prevent deterioration three seed farms
havo lately been established in central spots,
each of which is under the charge of a com
petent assistant. The chief marts all have the
benefit of telegraphic communication, and
the country roads which debouoh upon them
are being materiully improved.
From Dharwar 10-1,000 bales have been al
ready exported, and 15,000 more are said to
be in store. Experiments made throughout
the Punjab last year with llingunghat seed
have proved a fuilure owing to unfavorable
weather. Another hiul is v be mado during
tte ensuing season,
