6 THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH- PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, MAY 27. 1870. LITERATURE. J? X V I X W OF NKW B O 0 KB. From J. B. Lippincott A Co. we have received "Scenes of Wonder and Curiosity in California," by J. M. Hutching. Published by A. Roman & Co., New York and Ban Fran cisco. This very handsome volume is in tended as a guide-book for tourists in Califor nia, and it gives a description of all the great natural curiosities, beautiful scenery, and objects of interest that are worth visiting on onr Facifio coast, and particularly of the won derful Yo Semite valley. With the facilities for travel now afforded California bids' fair to rival the most renowned pleasure-grounds of the world as a place of resort, and the Yo Semite valley is a great national park that in point of attraction excels almost any spot in the Old or New World. It is of itself well worthy of a visit to California, and a work like this, that gives a really good literary and historical description of it, will be appreci ated by the stay-at-home as well as by the travelling public. Mr. Hutchings has been a resident for twenty years of California, and for six years he has lived in the Yo Semite valley and made a special study of its scenery and remarkable features. His work is not a mere guide-book, for although it contains all the items of interest, such as tables of distances, rates of fare, hotel charges, and other matters that tourists wish to know, it is a work of much literary merit, and is written in a lively and interest ing vein that will make it popular on its own account. It is illustrated with over one hun dred fine engravings of scenery, etc, and is printed and bound in handsome style. From J. B. Lippincott & Co. we have re ceived "Alboin and Rosamond, and Lesser Poems," by Robert Barton Rodney, U. S. N. The most interesting and remarkable feature of this volume is the dedication, which we copy in full: A memorial by his remote son to William Rodney, of Rodney-Stoke, in the county of Somerset, England. Died June 10, 1601), and buried in Huntspill Church That Shire, A Poet; His mother cousin-gcrman to Edward VI; His family ancient and manorial; its Norman Name Spoken with praise and trust by Kings and Presidents; and identified with English Glory and American Liberty. If William Rodney, of Rodney-stoke, whose mother was cousin-german to Edward VI, was a poet, he has transmitted but a very limited amount of the divine afflatus to his descend ant, Robert Burton Rodney, U. S,. N., over whose verses we gladly draw the veil of a charitable silence. T. B. Peterson & Brothers send us the second edition of "IlansBreitmann's Ballads," which they have just issued in handsome style. This is the only complete collection of the Breitmann ballads that has ever been made, and it gives all that Mr. Leland has ever written on this theme. The book is printed on thick tinted paper, and is elegantly bound in green clotbi From the same house we have also re ceived "Henrietta Temple," by B. Disraeli, M. P. The publication of "Lothair" has excited a new interest in Mr. Disraeli's early writings, and we can assure the readers of that work that "Henrietta Temple" is not a much worse attempt at fiction-writing. J. P. Skelly & Co. send ua "The Three Rules," by Mrs. Mary D. R. Boyd, a pleasantly-written Btory, with a moral, for young people. From Turner & Co. we have received Appleton'8 Journal, Every Saturday, and Our Boys and Girls for Saturday, June 4. From John Campbell we have reoeived the fourth number of Francis Yinoent's "His tory of the State of Delaware," which gives an account of the controversies between the English and the Dutch for the possession of the territory. Van NostrancTs Eclectic Engineering Magazine tor June has, among other interest ing papers, a description of Captain Ericsson's new method of submarine warfare, which will be read with interest. The Little Corporal for June presents an entertaining variety of stories, sketches, and verses adapted to the tastes of juvenile readers. The June number of The Nursery has some capital pictures that the little ones will appreciate, and stories that the youngest readers will understand. From the Central News Company, No, f05 Chesnut street, we have reoeived the latest numbers of Fundi and Fun. THE JUNE MAGAZINES. 'OLD AND NKW." The June number of Old and New contains the following list of articles: "Old and New;" Pope, "Gratryon the Infallibility of the Joseph P. Thompson; "A Crowned Songstress," from the German; "Dead," Martha P. Lowe; "To our Only," D. A. Wat Bon; "George D. Prentice and Kentucky Thirty-five lears Ago," J. Freeman Clarke; "She Writes" (Chap. VII), Elise Polko; "Straw Into Gold," S. II.; "Use of Dictiona ries," D. G. Ilaskins; "Hoping and Waiting," Amy Battles; "Right and WroDg," P. W. Chandler; "A Night of Terror," Mrs. S. De Ponte; "While I May," Hiram Rich; ."Winter Sunbeams Unsought," Gail Hamilton; "Miss Bradley's Wilmington Schools," Charles Lowe; "Ten Times One is Ten" (concluded), Colonel Frederio Ingham; "Mother and Son," George Finney; "Protoplasm, Francis Tiffany; "la Sunshine and Storm; "The Examiner;"' "Re. ord of Progress." From James Freeman Clarke's paper, "George D. Prentice and Kentucky Thirty, five Years Ago," we take the following: In those days street-fights and duels were normal facts of Kentucky life. By preaching a sermon against duelling I excited much wonder among the solid and serious citizens. Old Judge Rowan, the famous advocate and senator, expressed . Lis astonishment that I should rpeak againbt duels. "He wight j nut 8.3 well preach against cooigo, ' otui uv. Judge Rowan was a Rood friend of mine, used to come to church, and talk to me often about Lactantius and other Latin writers, whom he was fond of reading. The judge was also fond of high play, and many stories were told of his exploits in that direction. People's consciences were not disturbed by what would seem grave delinquencies to Eastern men. Many respectable people never thought or paying their debts. It did not seem worth while to do so. Others, very estimable in other ways, would win or lose a fortune at brag or poker with a charming feeling of innocence in regard to such transactions. To have a spree, or fit of drunkenness of two or three days' duration, did not disqualify a man from moving in the best society. Some Mississippi gentlemen on a visit to Louisville, attacked and slew two or three tailors in the bar-room of the Gait House, in a quarrel about a badly-cut coat. This murder was utterly unprovoked and barbarous, but the murderers were so well defended by Judge Rowan that they escaped unpunished, although the prosecuting officer was assisted by the equally celebrated Ben Hardin. But public sentiment was wholly in favor of the Mississippi murderers. What would the world come to if a large Missis sippi slaveholder was not allowed to murder a tailor or two, once in a while ? The most fashionable ladies sent flowers and pleasant little dinners to those persecuted gen tlemen while in prison, and crowded the court-room on the day of trial. Ia the face of so much beauty, desiring their acquittal, what chivalric Kentucky jury would venture to convict them? The Mississippians went home in triumph, prepared to kill more tailors if they should find it expedient to do so. But I was not sorry to hear that my friend Judge Rowan never received from them the large fee which they had promised to him before the trial. One morning Mr. John Howard Payne, who was travelling through the West and had brought me a letter, came to my room and said: "I have seen a great variety of life, but never anything exactly like this society in Louisville. I was la&t night at a ball at the house of Judge Rowan. In the same cotillion were dancing a son of the judge, Mr. Thomas F. Marshall, and two ladies to whom these gentlemen are said to be respectively en gaged. Every one in the room knew that Rowan and Marshall were to fight a duel in the course of a week which would probably result in the death oi one or both; but no one showed any surprise, and all was pleasant on the surface. The story of this duel illustrates the fea tures of society at that period. The judges of the courts were paid such small salaries that no good lawyer would accept the posi tion, consequently the judges had little influ ence, and were treated with small respect by the bar. One day the judge ef the Jefferson county district, considering himself insulted by a lawyer, one Colonel Robertson from Virginia, committed him to the county jail for twenty-four hours. The bar, thereupon, agreed to go to jail too, and have a supper. At this supper a slight quarrel occurred be tween two gentlemen, Mr. Thomas F. Mar shall and a youoger man named Garnet Howell. A glass of wine was thrown by one in the face of the other, and a duel was the result. Shots were exchanged without effect, and the honor of both parties was satisfied. Then Tom Marshall took his remaining pistol and fired it at a small tree at some distance and the bark flew from the sapling. This he did in order to show that he had purposely spared the life of his opponent. Mr. John Rowan, Jr., who was Howell's second, and no friend of Mar shall, thereupon remarked, "It is singular, Mr. Marshall, that you cannot hit a man, since you can hit a tree bo easily." To this sarcasm Marshall replied, "If you were the man, Mr. Rowan, I should not have missed you." Rowan responded, "I will give you an opportunity to try, Mr. Marshall. So a duel was thereupon arranged, which was likely to be much more serious than the first, as both parties were first-rate shots. In this duel Marshall was wounded in the leg and lamed for life. ""We quote the following from the paper on "The Use of Dictionaries" by D. G. Haskins: The word dollar is derived from the Ger man thai, meaning valley. The little town of Joachimsthal (valley of Joachim), in the heart of Bohemia, was the place in which the Counts of Schlick, from the year 1517 to 152C, coined pieces of about an ounoe weight, and worth about 113 cents of our money. They were known in use as joachitnsthaler. This word was afterwards reduced to thaler, and still later became Anglicized into dollar. The word tawdry, according to Richardson, is formed from Saint Audrey (a con traction of Ethelred), and ap plied originally to laces and similar articles sold at the fairs of St. Ethel red, as the word Bartlemy was applied to the fairs of St. Bartholomew. Bumper is a well-known corruption of the French words bon pere (good father), mean ing the Pope, whose health was always drunk by the monks after dinner, in a full glass. Quandary is also supposed to have a French origin, and to be a contraction of gu'en dirai-je t (What shall I say ?), while the de rivation of chanticleer from the same source (chanter clair, to sing clear), is almost too obvious to need to be pointed out. Mavdhn, Johnson says, "is the corrupt appellation of Magdalen, who is drawn by painters with swollen eyes and disordered looks." The word grog has a very curious history, Dr. Worcester, quoting from "Notes and Queries," gives this account of it: "Old Ad miral Vernon, in 1730, first introduced rum and water as a beverage on board his ship, in ioui weatner ne usea to wear a grogram cloak, whioh gained him the appellation of Old Grog. From him the sailors transferred this name to the liquor." It would possibly more puzzle our readers now to translate the word "grogram than the word "grog," al though they use neither. In Addison's time grogram was a coarse camlet and even that word is now going out a rough woollen cloth (gros-grain or grosso-granus) used for cloaks. The word poltroon is said to come from the two Latin words pvUice truncato (thumb-eut); the explanation being that it was an ancient practice for cowards to cut off their thumbs in order to render themselves unfit to be drafted in war. Soldier comes from the Latin, "a man who received for his fixhtin wages a solid us," a- gold coin in the late "days of the empire, onunterer w lrom the French vaihte Terre (Holy Land); a designation given to those wuo once roved about the country and asked charity, under pre tence of going as pilgrims to the Holy Laud. A similar history attaches to the word roamtr, of vhich John on Bays, "It i im agined to come from the pretences of vagrants who always said they were going to Jionie." The word buff is an abbreviation of buffalo; the fckin of that animal, when tauned, having lie Lfe'ul jeikiw ojiot denoted by this word. The words chapel and chaplain, come to us through the Spanish capa, meaning hood (as eur word capttom the same prototype "caput," a head). Long ago the "hood of St. Martin" was valued as a relio possessing miraculous powers. Charlemange was accustomed to carry it with him into the field, and kept it by itself in a tent, which from thi relio was called capefla, while the officer who guarded it was called capeUanus. Hence the words chapel and chaplain, applied to places of wor ship, and those who administer worship, without a fixed and permanent consecration. raesoter, which in accordance with our translation of Exodus xii, 2, is commonly supposed to be compounded of pass and over, is derived by Talbot, in his "English Ety mologies," from the Hebrew paicha, itself mean id g to pass over, and the old word opter, or offer a victim. "A lamb for sacrifice," he rsvb, "was therefore an onfer, or offer: and the paschal lamb was the pasch-offer, which has been modernized into passover. Saon expressions as 'kill the passover;' 'ye shall eat it with your loins girded;' 'Christ our pass- over Is sacrificed for us, would have no pro priety unless a passover were a living crea ture, a victim sacrificed or offered. Cheat, according to Mr. Marsh, is derived from the name (eschcators or chcators) of the officers appointed to look after the King's escheats, whose duties gave them great opportunities of fraud and oppression. Cock, according to the same authority, is from the cry represented by the French coauetico, ccfueiicot: coin, from the Latin euneus (a wedge), French coin, quin, the steel die with which money was Btamped, originally shaped like a wedge. Curmudgeon is a corruption from the French caiur (heart) mechnt (wicked); and shabbu from dcsJiabille (carelessly or ill- dressed.) Bedlam is corrupted from St. Beth. lehem, the name of a priory in London, which in 154 0 was converted into an asylum for the insane; and crazy is from the French ecrasert to crush, or destroy. Tribulation comes from the Latin tribulatio, tnbulum. a kind of threshing sledge consist ing of a wooden platform studded underneath with teeth of flint or iron. "The much abused spinster," says De Vere, "derives her name from the legal fiction which presumes all elderly unmarried women to spin, as well as all good wives to weave the words weave, woof, and wife all coming from the same common ancestor.
