6 THE DAJLI EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL C, 1870. LITERATURE. REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS. From Torter t Coates we have received the following recent publications of Roberts UrotherB: "Hermann and Dorothea," translated by Ellen rrothingham, is very successful attempt to render Ooethe's exquisite idyl into English hexameters. So far as we are aware no poetical translation of this characteristic work has ever been made in the EngliwU lan guage, and yet of all Goethe's poems it is perhaps the best calculated to impress ordi nary readers with a favorable idea of his genius. The subject is a homely story of a poor girl who was beloved at first sight by a well-to-do yonng man, and who is met by a proffer of love and marriage in the home where she imagined that she had been simply introduced as a servant. The fine art of the poet in the management of this simple theme is shown by the entire absence of any attempt at mere poetical embellishment. There is no effort to raise it above the level of the com monplace in any of its outward characteristics, bnt the poetry, pathos, and quaint humor of the story are Buch as appear to actually be long to it, and are not addod as more embel lishments. The translation of Miss Frothing hani is very close to the original, too much so at times, and it would be improved by the absence of some of the German idioms that she has apparently not been able to get rid of. The reproduction of tho hexameters of Goethe has also been an embarrassment to her at times, and necessitated some awkward ness of expression. The version, however, is for the most part exceedingly spirited, and certainly deserves an extensive popularity. It ought to make "Hermanm and Dorothoa" as well known and as highly esteemed by Ameri can readers as it is by Germans. The book is beautifully printed, and it is bound in a tasteful and elegant manner. "An Old-fashioned Girl," by Louisa M. Alcott, is an attempt in the same vein as the very popular "Little Vomen" that first brought Miss Alcott into favorable notice. It is distinguished by the same pleasant characteristics of style ami the Baine ability in characterization as "Little Women," and we commend it heartily to those who have enjoyed that work, with tho assur ance that they will be equally entertained by the adventures of "Tho Old-fashioned Girl." Porter fc Coates also send us "Home In fluence," by Grace Aguilnr. Published by D. Appleton & Co. This is the first volume, of a uniform edition of Miss Aguilar's stories, tho publication of which bus boen commoncod by Messrs. Apploton & Co. It is dosorvedly one of the most popular of that authoress' writ ings, and it will be appreciated by her ad mirers in this neatly bound and nicely printed edition. Of their own publications, Porter &. Coates send us "The American Chess-Player's Hand Book." This is a condensation of Staunton's work, and it is designed for the purpose of ini tiating the beginner into the rudiments of the game. A description of all the rules of chess is given, sufficiently full and exact for all practi cal purposes, and then all the principal open ings are analyzed and their variations exem plified by actual games played by Morphy, llarrwitz, Anderssen, Staunton, Paulsen, Montgomery, Meek, and others. This little manual will be found exceedingly useful to young students of chess. Claxton, Reinsert & Haffelfinger send us ' "A Brave Lady," by the author of "John Halifax," published by Harper & Brothers. This story during its serial publication in Harper's Magazine was perused by an exten sive circle of readers, and many who enjoyed it while appearing from month to month will be glad to read it again in its completed form. It is marked by all the characteristics of Mrs. Craik's style, and for those whose tastes do not incline them to strong meat it will doubtless be appreciated quite as highly as her previous writings. The subject is rather an unpromising one, but her manner of telling it makes it interesting, and tho story is one that is well worthy of the con sideration of those who appreciate pure and elevated fiction. From the same house wo have received "A Hand Book of the Sulphur-Cure," by William J. Flagg. Published by Harper & Brothers. Mr. Flagg is well known as the author of "Three Seasons in European Vineyards," and in the present treatise he has embodied the results of his observations with regard to the sulphur-cure for vine disease and its applica tion to the vineyards of America. The work is plain and practical in its suggestions, aud it should be in the hands of all who are inte rested in grape culture T. B. Peterson & Brothers send us "George Canterbury's Will," by Mrs. Henry Wood. The manuscript and advance sheets of this work have been purchased by the Messrs. Peterson from the author. It is a story of English life, written in the peculiar style that has made Mrs. Wood so popular with many readers, and it will undoubtedly be reai with interest by those who have ad mired her previous works. From J. B. Lippincott & Co. we have re ceived the fifth part of "Lippincott's Pro nouncing Dictionary of Biography and My thology," by J. Thomas, A. M., M. D., which brings the work down to the title "Fedorigo Bianchi." This elaborate and scholarly work is deserving of a most cordial recognition by the public. It is more complete in the num ber of subjects treated than any other bio graphical dictionary before the public, while it embodies features that greatly enhance its usefulness and tend to laike it the most satisfactory work of reference ever issued from the press. The riiilaOdpliia Photographer for April, published by Benerman & Wilson, contains a variety of artistio and practical articles of interest to photographers and others who take pleasure in watching the improvements in the photographio art that are constantly being made. Van Nostrand's Eclectic Engineering Magazine for April is made up of excellent original articles and selections from the best European scientific publications. The leading article on "Coal Washing," by Arthur Bock- with, is eppecially worthy of attention. The Venn Jfonlhly for April presents a series of scholarly articloB that will repay perusal. From the Central News Company, No. f)0. Chesnut street, we have roceived the latest numbers of Temple Bar, The Cornhill Magazine, London, Society, All the Year Round, Punch, and Fun. The Gardeners' Monthly for April has a variety of articles of interest to hortioultu- ralists. The Little Corpwal for April presents an attractive series of stories, sketchos, and poetry for young people. The April number of Leisure Hours, edited and published by J. Trainor King, No. 3.1 8. Sixth street, has an interesting variety of reading matter to suit the popular taste. The I,r(tal-tcnler Act. To the EdiUr of th Evening Telrgraph. Every well-read lawyer knows that the "Legal-tender act" could not constitution ally impair the obligations of contracts exist ing prior to the passage of said act by Con gress. Yet we see corporations using every influence in their power, even to the employ ment of the United States Attorney-General, to Bet aside the most equitable and just de cree that ever emanated from the Supreme Court of the United States. It was bad enough in all conscience for those who loaned coin to corporations in good faith, to ha ve patiently submitted for eight years to a violation of contracts by having to take depreciated irredeemable paper for in terest on railroad and other company bonds when the difference between what they got and what they were entitled to was at one time equal to 1 70 per cent., without being still further imposed upon when the differ ence is only 12 per cent. Have these loyal corporations no honor loft? Are they just in paying to the stock holders ten per cent, dividend clear of taxes and refusing to pay the six per cent, to those who aided tho stockholders to build their roads? Oh shame! This is nothing but bare faced repudiation and fraud. Will the Supremo Court reverse its late de cision, thereby decreeing that tho creditor class have no rights? that thoso who labor hard and save by economy for thoir wives and children cannot be protected from repudiating debtors? In short, wiil the hignest court in the land enact the part of legalizing repudia tion? When this demoralizing action takes place, every defrauded creditor should and will insist on all United States bondholders who purchased said bonds after the passage of the Legal-tender act, and paid for tho samo in depreciated paper, shall bo paid, principal and interest, in like depreciated paper. Corporate and individual repudiation once sustained, will ine?itably beget national re pudiation and dishonor. It will also seriously impede a resumption of specie payments, as tho debtor class will, so long as they can pay their liabilities with a depreciated currency, oppose and be the enemies of resumption. The masses love justice and equality, and admire the honesty of Chief Justice Chase's decision in a time of peace, even if in contra diction to his action undor the necessities of war. The reversal of the late decision of the court will have a strong tendency to elevate the Chief Justice to a higher place in tho gift of the people. EDUCATIONAL.
