HE VIEW OF NEW LOOKS.
From J. B. Lippincott A, Co. we have re
ceived "An Historical and Descriptive Narra
tive of the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky," by
W. Stump Forward, M. D. Price $2'2. The
Mammoth Cave of Kentucky is undoubtedly
the greatest natural curiosity in the United
States, not excepting even Niagara and the
Yo Semite Valley. It has been repeatedly
described with much minuteness, but no
work on the subject has ever entered into
tce.subject with the same detail, or presented
the same amount of historical and scientifio
information, as the one before us. Dr. For
ward visited the cave in the spring of 18(57
with a number of companions, and made a
very thorough exploration and some import
ant scientific investigations.
From his own observations and a variety
of historical and other information collected
from different sources, an exceedingly
interesting book has been compiled, that is
not onfy well worthy of a perusal for ita own
sake, but which will be found an admirable
guide and hand-book for those who propose
to visit the cave. The work is illustrated by
twelve lithographs from photographs, and
they give an excellent idea of the most promi
nent features of the great cavern.
From the same house we have received
Herodotus," the third of the series of
"Ancient Classics for English Readers,"
dited by Rev. W. Lucas Collins, M. A. This
series of handbooks is intended to give gene
ral readers some idea of the great classic
writers and their works, by presenting a con
nected outline of the story which they tell,
or the facts which they record, together with
approved English translations of striking
passages. The two preceding volumes dis
cussed the "Iliad"' and "Odyssey" of Homer
in this manner, and the present one takes up
"Herodotus," and it may be recommended
to those who only know the old Greek histo
rian by name as an excellent means
of finding out who he was and what
the facts are that he recorded
for the information of posterity. Such a
work as this of course is not a substitute for
the complete writings of an author, but many
persons have neither the time nor inclination
to enter on a detailed study of the classics,
while they would be glad to possess a fair
amount of information with regard to them,
and the information given in this and 1 the
other volumes of the series is of just that de
scription that ordinary readers will be thank
ful for.
"Harbaugh's Harfe" is the title of a vol
ume of poems in the Pennsylvania-Dutch dia
lect by H. Harbaugh, D. D., that has just
been issued by the Reformed Church Publi
cation Board, No. 54 South Sixth street. We
believe that this is the first work of a serious
character in the curious dialect of the Pennsylvania-Dutch
that has ever been put before
the public. It consists of a series of idyllio
poems of much merit, that are worthy of the
attention of those who wish to know what
the characteristics of the language in which
they are written really are. A biographical
sketch of Dr. Harbaugh is given, and several
of the principal poems are translated into
English. The book is handsomely printed
on tinted paper, and we commend it to our
readers as a decided literary curiosity.
T. B. Peterson & Brothers have just
issued "Jealousy; or, Teverino," by George
Sand. This is a very characteristic and in
teresting story, in which some of the most
fascinating qualities of Madame Sand's style
are shown in an eminent degree. The char
acter of the heroine especially is sketched
with marvellous delicacy and grace, and the
story altogether ' is one that will repay more
than one perusal. This is the fourth volume
of Petersons' uniform edition of George
Sand's writings, and it is prefaced by an
interesting biographical sketch, which relates
the principal events of her remarkable life.
Turner & Co. send us "A Week in a
French Country House and Other Tales," by
Mrs. Adelaide Kemble Sartoris. Published
by Loring. The two principal stories in this
volume, "A "Week in a French Country
House" and "Medusa," obtained a great
popularity amopg cultivated readers when
they were originally published, and the latter
especially was noted as a peculiarly original
and impressive tale.
The same house sends us Appleton's Jour
tial, Every Saturday, and Our Hoys ami
Girls for July L; also the July number of The
Transatlantic. . 1
Part No. 34 of "Zell's Popular Encyclo
pedia" brings the work down to the title
"Larch." Among the othfer leading subjeeta
are "Kentucky," "Johann Kepler," "Jean
Baptist Kleber," "Louis Kossuth," "Koran,"
"La Fayette," "Lamartine," "Lamp," and
"Larceny." This encyclopedia is being
rapidly pushed forward to completion, and
those who wish to possess it should subscribe
once, as the price is certain to be ad
ranced.
Lee & Walker send us the "Diamond
AValtzes by Edmund Wolsieffer. These
. waltzes are named after the Cape May hotels,
and they ought to be popular during the sea
son at the seashore whenever youth and
beauty meet to chase the glowing hours with
Hying feet.
The June number of The Bureau has a
great variety of articles on industrial, econo
mical, commercial, and financial subjects that
deserve the attention of those who are inte
rented in the protection of American indus
try. The Bureau was established for the
purpose of disseminating sound information
on the above important subjects, and it
thould receive the hearty support of those
who believe the protection of home interests
to be the only sound national policy. Pub
lisbed by the Bureau Publication Company,
No. 101 Wabash avenue, Chicago, Illinois.
The Little Corporal for July is greatly
enlarged and improved in many respects that
will be likely to make ' it more than ever a
favorite with the young folks.
Jhe Jim Tvrk JTVacfar uut Amtrican
Educational Monthly, in ppite of its tremen
dous title, is a very excellent and useful pub
lication. The July number has several good
articles on educational subjects that are well
worthy of the consideration of those who are
interested in such matters.
THE AMERICAN HOTEL.
The following translation of an article in ft
recent number of Die Oartcnlaube of Leip
sio is curious and interesting, as presenting
the views of a German traveller, though not
altogether just in its criticisms, taken from
an American standpoint:
"In these days of rapid and cheap ceoa-
municatios, when time and space seem
almost to disappear, and when luxuries and
enjoyments once limited to the few are
within the reach of the many, the privilege
of travelling has also extended to the multi
tude. All the world now travels. A direct
consequence of this increase of locomotion
is seen in our modern hotels those mon
strous establishments to be found in ever
growing dimensions in all our large cities, as
well as at those other points where the tide
of travel is strong and constant. Like great
barracks in appearance, hundreds, even
thousands, of guests ore in them at one time
sheltered, fed, and surrounded by all the
many comforts demanded by the present
generation, in .Paris and Jjondon, on the
Rhine and in Switzerland, in Berlin and
Vienna, every year there arise giant hotels,
each one on a larger scale and more magnifi
cent than the last. But it is in the United
States of America that the largest hotels are
to be found in that country where the
number of travellers reaches daily a higher
figure than in any other.
"Although our hotels are cosmopolitan in
their character, yet the features of nationality
are not lost in them; and the most marked of
any other in its national peculiarities is the
American Hotel. These peculiarities, whether
advantages or defects, arise clearly from the
characteristics of the people who are to be
the patrons and supporters of the establish
ments. The American is an essentially social
creature; he loves a crowd and prefers to live
surrounded by one. He is even born often
in company, for physicians tell us that there
are more births of twins in that country than
elsewhere, lie goes with a multitude to
school, and to the higher institutions of
learning. He travels by rail or by steam
boat, surrounded by a crowd, and his greatest
delight is what he calls a mass meeting. And
at last he often dies en masse, for in no other
country on the earth are there so many peo
ple killed at once by railroad accidents, boiler
explosions, etc.
"True to this principle, the American calls
that only a good hotel which numbers its
guests by thousands, or at least by hundreds,
and which can offer him an elegantly-fur
nished suite of parlors, where he can receive
his friends, and where his wife and daughters
can exhibit their wardrobe to appreciative be
holders. He would scarcely believe that the
quiet doorway, with its stately portier. the
only being in sight, could lead him to the
first-class hotel in Europe; and the idea of
dining en famille in a plain, comfortable
room at such a hotel would seem to him un
sociable and absurd. On the contrary, he
likes to fight his way through a orowd of
smoking, spitting men, filling the vestibule
and overflowing into the street, up to the
desk, behind which in calm dignity sits the
man who is to be his ruler as long as he re
mains in the hotel. 1
"Woe to him if he has failed to telegraph
his coming ! Either he is informed that there
is no room for him, or he is conducted to one
in the seventh or eighth story, which he is to
share with several other occupants. This
last, however, is of no consequence to him,
for he has no objection to sleeping in com
pany. Indeed, he will sometimes expressly
desire to be put in the same room with others,
if not in the same bed with them. A Presi
dent of the United States once shared the bed
of a renowned statesman while travelling.
and during the night they took counsel
together concerning the an airs of the nation.
"There is one peculiarity to be mentioned
about American hotels. The rooms are all
the same price, whether they are spacious
rooms on the first floor or small rooms under
the roof, with only space for bed, wash-
Btand, and chair. The poor traveller Is, there
fore, at the mercy of the proprietor, or his
man of business. American chivalry towards
ladies (in which term they include all white,
decently dressed women;, however, is re
markable, and generally secures to them
good attention, while the rest of the raoe
must take care of themselves. Men are not
excluded from the ladies' table, nor must
they pay extra for the privilege; but if they
take their meals with the mixed multitude,
it may very likely be by the side of the pro
fessed gambler, who is seldom wanting la an
American hotel. If a traveller is fortunate
enough to be acquainted with the autocrat
behind the desk, he may obtain more con
sideration; otherwise, if he asks for a room to
himself be will probably be told in a surly
tone, and with a look of surprise at his
temerity, that the house is full. And, indeed,
in hotels on the most frequented lines of
travel this is not a mere pretense, but corn
dors, reception rooms, and parlors will often
be found filled with beds to accommodate the
overflowing number of guests.
"The same tendency is shown in their
meals. Unless an American is surrounded by
a noise and confusion which indicate to him
that he is only one of a multitude, he can
scarcely enjoy the excellent dishes with which
an American table is always supplied. But
the traveller, ignorant of the customs of the
country, will be amazed at the manner in
which his modest request for dinner at a
specified hour is met; and still greater will
be his surprise if, arriving at a hotel after a
long and fatiguing journey, during v, .uch he
has had nothing to eat or drink, he finds the
dinner or supper over, and is coolly told that
the dining-room will not be again opened
until after such and such an hour. He cannot
dine to suit his business or other arrange
ments, but the time when the meal
is to begin ia announced by
blood-curdling beating of a gong or ringing
of a bell, or by thundering knocks at his
door. And alas for the unhappy individual
who may fondly imagine that he can choose
his own place at the table, and perhaps be
seated with friends or acquaintances. A
stately gentleman meets him at his entrance
into the room, and by a majestio wave of the
hand refers him to another official, who con
ducts him to a seat, aud then disappears, en
tirely indifferent as to whether the draft from
the door or the glare trotu the opposite win
dow annoys him. The patience of the Atneri
can under these circumstances is something
truly wonderful. Ho takes the seat allotted
to him. and cine times out of ten he eaU
whatever the tyrant behind his chair chooses
to set before lain. If he ventures to ootn
plain or object, he is surlily informed that
what he wants cannot be had, and is probably
left to himself, with no further supplies of
anything.
"Yi'Ltn the guest, to about to Jeave t&e
hotel, his bill is never brought to his room, 1
but he must present himself before a sort of
wicker cage, give his name, and the number
of his room, and ia a few minutes the bill is
banded to him. It is given simply in the
round sum, with no items, nd he is expected
to pay it, asking no questions. The charge
is bo much per diem for board and lodging,
without wine (which is not much used at an
American hotel table), and there are no
extras. And here comes in a peculiarity of
the system. The days charged begin with
the first dinner or supper eaten after arrival,
and the departing guest who rises from his
dinner at 6 o'clock, and leaves the hotel soon
after 7, must pay for the tea which was served
at the last-named hour, he being then still in
the house.
"For the traveller who is blessed with a
good appetite the system of paying a fixed
Erice per diem has its advantages; he can
ave five substantial meals a day, the lightest
of which would more than satisfy a hungry
laborer. But the more delicate eater; the
man who has hosts of friends desirous of
showing him true American hospitality; the
rieh man, whose physician has forbidden
him any but the simplest food; all these suffer
the disadvantage of being obliged to pay for
just so much whether they have had it or not.
since they might have had it if they had
chosen. The rough farmer who comes to the
city once a year, and takes his fill of luxuri
ous fare for a twelvemonth at that time, and
the ethereal young lady who scarcely touches
what is set before her, pay the same price for
their dinner.
"As long as money is so easily made and so
lavishly spent in America, the present hotel
system will hardly change, especially as the
fundamental principle of true republicanism
is that every one must be on an equal footing
with the best in the land. The genuine
American must have plenty of money when
he travels, and for this money he wishes to
tread npon the softest of carpets, to be sur
rounded by mirrors and costly furniture, to
sit down to a table loaded with the delicacies
of the season. At home he is quite content
with pork and beans, or cabbage and pota
toes, and is accustomed to eat in his shirt
sleeves. No sooner does he go npon a jour
ney, however, than he arrays himself in what
be considers the attire of a gentleman, and is
far more particular as to his food and drink,
and more imperious in his tone to the waiters
at the hotel, than his dignified neighbor who
comes from his country seat on the Hudson
or his sugar plantation on the Mississippi.
"It must be confessed that acoording to
American ideas their hotels are models of
perfection. Built of white marble, with
lavish interior adornment, the wide halls and
staircases leading to a succession of richly
furnished apartments, these hotels astonish
even the habitue of Fenton's or Mivart's in
London or the Grand Hotel in Paris. The
luxury of the table exceeds all European ideas
of such matters, yet the preparation of single
dishes is often unsatisfactory, which can
hardly be wondered at when the number of
guests served at once is considered. But
what strikes the stranger as most remarkable
is the variety and richness of the desserts,
consisting of every kind of pastry and pud
ding and an abundance of the best fruits of
the season.
"Another noticeable feature of the Ameri
can hotel is the manner in which every pos
sible want of the traveller is provided for.
The elegantly furnished room usually con
tains a sideboard where a number of experi
enced men deal out an endless variety of
simple and compound drinks of which even
the names are unknown in Europe. Reading-
rooms and smoking-rooms are always to be
found in the hotel, and writing materials are
freely supplied to any one wanting them. A
special post and telegraph office is in the
house, and a plentiful assortment of papers,
magazines, and books for those wishing to
buy Buch. There is, besides, an office where
travellers can obtain tickets for any point,
whether it be for a neighboring city or for a
trip on the Pacifio Railroad to California. Clerks
are constantly employed in receiving letters
and packages arriving for guests, while a
troop of servants wait in the vestibule to an
swer the incessant calls of the bells from
different rooms. Does the traveller need the
services of a barber? He has only to step
down to a luxurious room on the ground-floor
of the hotel. Does he want a tailor, a hatter,
a shoemaker, or a dealer in fancy articles of
wear ? He will find all these generally nnder
the roof of the hotel. In short, there is
scarcely anything which a man would require
in the ordinary course of life that he could
not find without going beyond the limits of
the house. It will be seen from all this that
keeping a hotel in America is no light busi
ness, and requires no small amount of ad
ministrative capacity.
'In Europe most hotels have their regular
class of guests; in America (with a few excep
tions in New York) this is not the case. Here
every man chooses his hotel according to his
own pleasure, usually with a preference for
the most fashionable, which generally means
the last one built. Thither the multitude
flock, to gaze on its magnificence, and to go
home and boast of having been at the finest
hotel yet seen. In America housekeeping
seems to present bo many difficulties, and to
be so expensive a mode of living, that it is
not uncommon for families, as well as single
men, to live at a hotel. They avoid by this
nieana what appears to be their principal
trouble in housekeeping, viz.; the almost im
possibility of finding good servants, or, if
found, their extravagant and unreasonable
demands in the matter of wages. It is not
necessary to speak to our German wives and
mothers of the destructive influence of this
manner of living upon all healthy family life.
"The similarity which is" apparent in the
arrangements of society all through the
American Republic is seen also in the hotels.
From east to west, from north to south, the
"good hotel" is everywhere the same in its
high prices, without regard to the require
ments of the guest, in the tyranny exercised
by the proprietor over the traveller, and in
the crowd of people always to be found
within its walls. The American seems to
have a special fondness and a special aptitude
for hotel-keeping and whatever other im
pression a stranger may carry home with him
concerning that country, he certainly will not
fail to regard with admiration and astonish
ment the American hotel.'' ,
Tbe Dublin Freeman approves of treating
tbe Fenian raiders on Canada witk all legal
severity. If an American jury can be found to
convict tbeui, tbey should be eenteuced to tbe
utmost penalty of tbe law. A three months' im
prisonment would practically be nothing.
Since September 1 of last year 66,000 boxes
of lemons, 170,000 boxes of oranges, 250.000
packages of figs, and 182,000 boxes and casks of
raisins have been landed in Boston. A large
trade is transacted tlinre direct la pine-apples,
bananas, and cocoa-nuts, but far more of tbe
receipts are from New York. - ,
