literatuhe.
aiF;iW or n xw books.
From Claxton, Remson & Ilaffelfinger we
kafe received "The Capture and Esoape; or,
Life Among the Sioux," by Mm Sarah L.
Larimer. The authoress of this work was
captured by the Sioux Indians while jour
eying with a company of emigrants across
the plains of Idaho Territory in the summer
of 18C4, and for a time was retained by them
as a prisoner. She gives a lively and very in
teresting account of her life among the In
dians, her escape from them, and hor subse
quent adventures. The book makes no pre
tensions to literary style, but the authoress is
evidently a woman of intelligence and keen
observation. Independently of her own im
mediate adventures, she relates many inter
esting and important particulars about the
manners and customs of the Indians and
their relations with the white settlers, and
her narrative is well worthy of the perusal of
all who are interested in Indian affairs.
The same houne sends us the following
recent publications of Harper & Brothers :
'Self-Help," by Samuel Smiles, is de
servedly one of the most popular books of
the day. It has been extensively read in this
country and in England, and translations have
appeared in Dutch and French, and others
are about to appear in German and Danish.
A revised and enlarged edition will therefore
receive a cordial welcome, and give the work
a new lease of popularity. One of the charms
of the book is the largo number of anecdotes
of celebrated men that it contains, and the
roanner in which Mr. Smiles brings them in
to illustrate his subject makes his pages
always entertaining. Mr. Smiles is never
dull, and in "Self -Help" particularly his power
of engaging the attention of his readers ap
pears at its best. This edition is made com
plete by a comprehensive index.
"The Bazar Book of Decorum" is made up
of several papers that first appeared in Har
per's Bazar, with numerous additions. The
author states that this book is an attempt to
raise the subject of which it treats to its
proper connection with health, morals, and
good taste. It contains some valuable hints
upon dress and general docornru that proba
bly the most polished members of society can
derive some benefit from.
"Tom Brown's School Days," by an Old
Boy, with illustrations by Arthur Hughes and
Sidney Frior Hall, is a cheap edition of one
of the best and most popular books for boys
ever written. Mr. Hughes is one of the few
men who remember with fondness the days
when they were boys themselves, and in all his
writings he shows the heartiest sympathy
with all the strong as well as the weak points
of boyish nature. The influence of the work
before us, and of others from the same pen,
was shown in a very decided manner by the
selection of Mr. Hughes as referee by the
Harvard crew in their great contest last sea
son on the Thames with the Oxfords, and the
satisfaction with which his acceptance of the
office was received on both sides of the Atlan
tic was an indication of the esteem in which
he was held. Mr. Hughes is one of the few
men who know how to write with a moral
purpose, and yet how to secure the attention
of those whom they particularly wish to bene
fit, and the good influence of such a book as
"Tom Brown" can scarcely be estimated. The
edition before us is well printed, and it con
tains all the illustrations of the most expen
sive English edition. ,
"Debenham's Vow," by Amelia B. Edwards,
is a story of love and adventure, in which the
characteristics of English society are agree
ably diversified by episodes of running the
blockade of Charleston harbor and other
stirring incidents that add an exciting interest
to the narrative. The story is illustrated by
a number of spirited and artistic designs.
From J. C. Garrigues & Co. we have re
ceived "Removing Mountains," by John S,
Hart. Published by Robert Carter &. Brothers,
Professor Hart is so well known as a writer
on educational subjects that any work from
his pen, and especially one of a religious
character, will be sure of a favorable recep
tion. This work is a series of discussions
upon the narrative of the Gospels, with a view
of applying their lessons to the life of to-day.
Professor Hart handles his subject in a clear,
earnest, and practical manner that will com
mend the volume to the favorable notice of
thoughtful readers.
From the Central News Company, No. 505
Chesnut street, we have received the April
number of The Aiding JVflts. Published by
Sutton, Bowno & Co., Now York. This publi
cation has for it i object the elevation of the
art of typography in the United States; and
although improvements may still be sug
gested, it certainly realizes in a great degree
the ideal of fine printing. The letter-press
is generally all that could be desired, but the
pressmen of Ihc Aldine are not yot up to all
the fine points of the art of printing wood
cuts, as may be seen by a comparison between
the design by Dore on the first page with
any of the French impressions from the
same artist. The Aldine rress, however, is
an important step in the right direction; and
with its handsome engravings and good lite
rary selections it ought to be able to perform
an important service in showing what good
printing really is.
The Central News Company also send us
'. All the Year Hound for March.
From J. W. Schermerhorn & Co., New
York, we have received "The Bible in the
Public Schools," which gives in a cheap and
compact form the different sides of the groat
controversy that is now being carried on in
eeverfdof the States.
"Record of Christian Work," formerly
Jlie Monthly Jlecord, published monthly by
members of the Young Men's Christian Asso
ciation, No. 1210 Chesnut street, has reached
1 its fourth volume. Thi3 journal is an eight
page quarto with thirty-two large columns,
which are filled with interesting Church and
Christian Association news, temperance woik,
and praotioal suggestions and reports. , One
copy is' furniKbed free for one year to all
reading-rooms, libraries, and Christian Asso
ciations for the pontage only, which amounts
to twelve cents per annum. The editor is
George D. Stroud, No. 1210 Chosnut street
or No. 70.1 Sansom street.
E.n Danic a In Clef.'
One of the Paris journals announoes the
death, at Versailles, of a Russian lady who
appeared in the drawing-rooms of Paris in
1848 and 1840, and was nicknamed the "Dame
a la Clef." She died, aged forty-five, in the
most complete solitude. It is said that her
husband, who rns much older than she, came
to see her for a week or two every six months,
and went away again no one knew whither.
All was mysterious about this Lady of the
Key. Lost month the husband did not return
as usual, but a letter come announcing his
death. The widow survived him a few days
only, and it is supposed she allowed herself to
die of hunger. Whether truo or not, this was
tbe story that was whispered about her when
she appeared in Paris, young and beautiful,
more than twenty years ago. It is said
that her husband surprised her in a little
country house which he possessed near
Moscow at the moment she was hastily shut
ting somebody up in a wardrobe. A servant
had betrayed her. The Muscovite "Othello"
turned the key twice in the wardrobe, took it
out, then told his wife to follow him. A
travelling britzska stood a few paoes from the
villa. More dead than alive, the unhappy
woman obeved. When the husband had
placed her in the carriage, and given an order
in a low voioe t the coachman, "Keep this
key." he said to his wife; "I have forgotten
something and will return," and then went
back to the house. He returned according to
his promise, but as the carriage descended the
hill the poor woman saw the fames issuing
from the windows of the country house and
taking full possession of it. She fainted away,
and on regaining hor senses perceived that
a gold chain was riveted round her neck to
which the little key of the wardrobe was
attached. She wished to kill herself, but her
husband threatened her that if sho committed
suicide he would reveal her misconduct and
cover her and her family with dishonor. She
was therefore condemned to live, and her
strange necklace excited much curiosity in
Paris. At last her tyrant allowed her to re
tire into a quiet retreat on the express) stipu
lation that she would not attempt to destroy
herself during his lifetime. His death re
leased her from this condition; but she had
languished for more than twenty years, hav
ing the witness of her guilt always before her
eyes. It is a curious story; we wonder
whether it is true ?
A DOUBLE DEATII-STItOKE.
Terrible Tnle ol Doincatio Suffering.
Tbe Chillioothe (Uhio) licqistcr Bays:
On Thursday of last week, Air. Edward
young, . an old man of about 70 years of ne,
ree-idinj; in Concord township, eljc milua from
Frankfort, and well known there and hero,
came to this city on business, and started homo
the game day, going as far as Frankfort, where
lie remained over niht. Die next morning
(Friday) lie started to complete the trip, but ou
reaching Patterson's Ford, on the north fork of
Paint, which was high and rising at the time,
his buggy was npset by the rapid stream, and
Mr. Youug thrown out and drowned. The acci
dent was witnessed by Mr. M. V. Briggs, who
was crossing the ford at the same time, und also
by a young man named lluffard, who was at
work in a field a short distance below. The
latter ran out on a log and caught the body of
Mr. Young as it came down, but was himself
drawn Into the stream and would probably have
also been drowned had not Mr. liriggs ran to
his rescue, and drawn him to land by means of
ar.ole.
After rescuing the body of the unfortunate
Mr. Young, the parties started to take it to his
late residence, and on his way there passed the
house of Mr. Absalom Bryant, his stepson. The
wile of the latter, when she saw the wagon con
taining the body drive past, was heard to ex
claim. "Poor grandpa!" and immediately after
complained of a straoge, chilly feeling. Heavier
clothing was put on, and other means used to
free her from the unpleasant sensation, but
without avail, and some time after, on her hus
band coming to the house, she sat down by him,
and complaining of the coldness of her back,
aeked him to rub it. lie was in tbe act of com
plying with her request, when Mrs. Bryant fell
forward to the floor on her face, dead! The
picture, the awfulaess of the shock to the hus
band and family is beyond the power of lan
guage. Mrs. Bryant was about 83 years of age,
und leaves two little children. Up to the hour
of her seeing the corpse of Mr. Young she was
in her usual good health.
