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.
