THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1870. XXVIEW OF' 'NEW BOOK!. "The Mystery of Edwin Drood," so far an it iu completed at tho time of the sadden death of Mr. Dickens, has been issued by Fields, Osgood A Co. in a volume with some hitherto uncollected pieces by the same author. We have here a mystery that will never be unravelled in any shape, for as the publishers explain in a note, the only memo randa relating to it that have been found among the papers of the author refer to tho pening chapters, and there is nothing what ever from his pen to indicate what the con clusion would have been. An uncompleted work I ke this is obviously not open to the same kind of criticism that would be called for ky a finished performance, and it is sufficient to say of it that while there are portions of "Edwin Drood" that cannot fail to charm those who are familiar with tho best effort of the author, tho average merit of the fctory ia not above that of 4'Oar Mutual Friend" and other of the later and least esteemed writings of Mr. Dickens. It is sad to think that it should be so, but it is the fact, never theless, that the athor of "Pickwick" had written himself oat at the time of his death, and the unfinished "Mystory of Edwin Drood" is a painful contrast to "Donis Duval," that most artistic fragment by a greater man than Charles Dickens, end which indicates that Tha-keroy, unlike his great rival, was cut down in the vigor of his intel lect and in the midst of the preparation of what promised to be his masterpiece. Appended to "The Mystery of Edwin Drool" are the sketches entitled ''George Silverman's Explanations;" "A Holiday Romance," "Sketches of Young Couples," and "Now Uncommercial Samples." Mr. Dickens' will is also given, for what reason we know not, unless the publishers consider it a literary curiosity. As it only oocupies about two pages, they scarcely include it for the pur pose of tilling out their book to salable dimensions, deceived from J. B. Lippin eott A, Co. From J. B. Lippincott fc Co. we have also received "ltobinson's First Lessons in Mental and Written Arithmetic," in which the subject is sot forth in a manner tb it cannot fail to stimulate the thinhing faanHiei of the dullest child, and "First Stops in Music," by George B. Loomis, u admirable little rudimentary work for school instruction, both of wh'ch are published by Ivison, Blr.ko xnan, Taylor L Co., New York. From E. II. Butler fc Co. we have re ceived the following school books: ''ilartin dale's Frimary Speller" and "Martindale's Complete Speller," in which the primitive words are so grouped as to lead the child by the easiest gradation from the shortest and aimplest to the most difficult. These spellers Are illustrated by a number of beautiful wood cuts, which add greatly to their utility and in terest. "The Scholar's Companion" is u standard school book that has long boon es tablished in the favor of teachers and scholars. The present edition has been carefully re vised, without any alteration of the general plan or arrangement. "How's Junior Ladies' Header," "How's Ladies' Header," aud "How's Ladies' Book of Headings and limi tations" show more taste in their selec tions than in their titles. Some years ago these books would have been called "Girls' Readers," and thochanga can scarcely be considered an improvement in a series of books intended for the school-room. This, however, has nothing to do with the merits of the books themselves, which are admira bly arranged as a progressive course in read ing, and the selections are made with good judgment, so that they will not only afford exercises for the school-room, but will intro duce to the notice of those who use them aome of the choicest efforts of the best poeti cal and prose writers in the English language. We are pleased to see in these works so many extracts from the strictly modern writers, and the disappearance of most of the old atandbys which have done duty in speakers and readers innumerable the consequencejof which is that, independently of the merits of the method ot Mr. How, his readers will be found more fresh and attractive than such works usually are. From John Campbell we have received the eighth part of Vincent's "History of Dela ware," in which are recounted the contests between the Dutch and Swedes. The best war map that has yet been issued is "Schedler's Topographical Map of the Seat of War," published by E. Steiger, New York. This map includes the north eastern portion of France from its frontier en the Rhine to Paris, together with parts of Belgium, Luxemburg, Rhenish Prussia, the Palatinate, Baden, and Wurtemberg. The map is printed in colors, the rivers being blue, the towns and cities with their names in black, and the topographical configuration of the country in brown. This map has been reproduced from large and elaborate drawings by the photo-lithographio process, and it is an admirable picture of the seat of war. A very much larger number of the small villages than ore given on any other snap before the publio are distinctly marked, bo that any one can follow the movements of the contending armies without the slightest difficulty. This map includes plans of Paris, Metz, and Strasburg, with alt their fortifica tions. J7u StliovUiay Viiitor for September, which we have received from Turner A Co., presents an attraotive variety of reading mat ter for young people. The September number of tho Pen ilcndUy has several interesting articles from ble pens. The Coarhmakc-rM Inter national Journal for September has a number of practical papers on matters connected with coach building. The August number of the Ahiericaii ArtJatccU and Buildcrt' MonVdg, published by Ughtfoot &. Lew, has several handsome ljtiioi-rh c design f buildingn, two jwigea of illuminated letters, and a number of wett written practical and artistic articles. Soribnur fc Co. announce that early in October they will issue tho first number of Scribner'a Monthly, which will take the place of llourn at ILnne. The new magazine will be nnder the editorial direction of Dr. J. G. Holland (Timothy Titcomb), and it is designed to make it an interesting and instructive popular periodical that will be welcome at all tho firesides of the land. Each number will bo profusely and handsomely illustrated, and the publishers promiso that no pains will be spared to mako it worthy of the best regards of the reading public. THE LINCOLN ESTATE. a hit or hiistoux on a vexed question. The Washington correspondent of the Pitts burg Chronicle publishes the following in re ference to Mr. Lincoln s estate and tha cir en ru stances which made his widow so urgent for a pension: The schedule of tho administrator, filed in tho office of the Clerk of the county of S.m gamon, in the State of Illinois, shows an ag gregate of eight y-iive thousand dollars. Fifty-seven thousand dollars in registered bonds, bearing six per cent, iu com. In temporary loan, bearing six per cent, in currency, two thousand eight hundred and seventy-one. In Treasury warrants, issued to him for salary and not paid, nearly eight thousand dollars. Deposits in bank, about eighteen hundrod dollars; several thousand dollars in collections; added to which the salary appropriated by Congress after his death makes a total showing of about $110,000 of "cash assets. Then there were the homestead at Spriogtield, some unpaid notes, and some unproductive lauds. All this was the result of Mr. Lincoln's prudence. Sjme of it he had accuiuuiuled before he became President, but the bulk of it was saved from Lis Executive emoluments. Thero were three rightful inheritors of this property: Mary Lincoln, hia widow; Robert Lincoln aud Thomiis Lincoln, his children. The third part of it, the widow's legal share, amounted to nearly $.$7,000 in money, besides her interest in the real ptoperty, which was not imme diately available. What troubled some mem bers of Congress, and a great many persons who wore only possessed of these bare facts, was that Mrs. Lincoln should not regard her self as a happy and somewhat affluent woman, with such a sum f mouoy at her disposal. Very soon after Mr. Lincoln's death, great pains we:o taken to show how provident he had been, and the Springfield llepubUeau, printed at his Illinois home, took the pains to mako a somewhat imposing exhibition of the prospe rous condition of bis estate, for tha purpose, as it piously expressad it, "not of deterring Congress from makiDg a further appropria tion for her support, but simply in order tint the people of the nation may not supposo that Mrs. Lincoln is in anything like d ostitut J circumstances." Yet by the death of her husband Mrs. Lin coln was placed not only in destitute but ex ceedingly embarrassing circuoistanoes. She was in debt to a far greater amount than her share of the property could pay, and she pre ferred to sacrifice all she had to bringing re proach upon her husband's memory by her own financial delinquency. To what extent she was censurable for this ex isting state of affairs is a question that need not be criticised with fastidious exaction. Her personal expenses, if we may judge from her predecessors and from her immediate successor, were necessarily large. The facts show that sho was not spending her husband's money, because what he had accumulated before ho became Presi dent was kept intact, and his subsequent revenues were carefully hoarded. It was not, therefore, extraordinary that, in the course of a fonr years' experience as mistress of ceremonies at the Presi dental mansion, she should incur debts for want of a better way to supply the indis pensable demands of fashion, based, as they undeniably were, upon that inexorable law "time-honored custom." She had reason to hope that the revolving machinery of time would turn something up that would avail to her relief; but the premature death of the President frustrated all her plans for extri cation from financial difficulty. It may have been, or we will admit without qualification was, wrong for her to incur obligations without her husband's knowledge; but she had no other alternative to make a respectable appearance as the wife of the President, which she could not do without comparatively an immonsa cost. It is barely possible, too, that he was cognizant of all the facts, and that there was a confi dential understanding between them that would have avoided scandal and difficulty but for the sacrifice of his life. It is but just to Mr. Lincoln, who had always lived in amity with his wife, and who claimed that she possessed some qualities that entitled her to bis respect and regard, to take this charitable view of a subject that has been freely discussed, and that mainly to the advantage of the surviving party. When Mr. Lincoln was elected he was in moderate circumstances. He was not en riched by fabulous gratuities, and his term of office extended through years that imposod such a burden upon him as no other Presi dent of this ltepublic has ever borne. Wnile he was oppressed with anxious oare, the shoddyites were enriching themselves, and inaugurating a system of extravagance, the blighting consequences of which it will take the country years t recover from All the tom-fcolt ry that it was possible to devise was enacted at Washington; the White House was the headquarters tor the most ettravAgmt exhibitions, and the men who have most severely condemned Mrs. Linoolu were actors in them. It she was extravagant sue was tempted and driven to it, and her fault at last beems to have been that blie surrendered her last dollar in payment for her folly. With all her excessive outlays for wardrobes she never imported a garment, aud about the most imprudent thing she did was to employ as her dressmaker a garrulous negro woman, who treasured her secrets and found somebody mean euouh to make & book of them. In view of the fact that this unfortunate lady has been charged with being a Rebel, which she was not with currying oft' the household valuables of the White Houe, which be did not and with trying to pay her debts by the salo of her clothes, which the hue and cry prevented it is but reasonable to hope that she will be allowed to enjoy the little pension Congress has grudgingly given, and that Congress, in seeking to avoid mis applications of its appropriations, will iu all future instances be us successful as it has been in this.

In it worth while to contradict absurdly foolish falsehoods? Does it not gratify the liar to find his fabrications treated seriously? And then the fellow can invent two new calumnies while yon are refuting an old one. On the whole, we think most men must have better business than such refutation. Here is a specimen, which some poor, silly coward, concealing his name, really thinks we ought to treat with gravity: WHAT HORACE KNOWS OK TISHIKO AND GCNKINO. From the liotton Pot. Parties who were np in the Adirondack a few weeks aeo, when Horace was there, Rive queer ac counts of his couduct. They pay It was the nvist as tonishing thing ever B"en la that region. He went out Ashing one day, and came near being pnl'ed out of the boat by a big trout. Tho trout got away from him at lnot, taking his leader as a memento, and he swore fearfully v. hen ho reeled In and found tho leader gone. The boatman told him if he did not Htop swearing he would not catch any fish, and then ho broke out in BU'-li a way that tho boatman, who may have been supersf i'ions, rowed ash' ire at once, lie afterwards said that ho would not taKe "that riissln' loonafic" out again for anything. Another time he went off to shoot deer, and acteu in the most outraging manner, especially In the handling of his gun. Ills companions were in Imminent danger all the time, and af. laM, they took the grin from him 8lt"gether. When II or nee found himself treated Iu this way, he refused to go any further, aud when hia companions returned to the hotel, they found him abnxitig the landlord because he did not raise straw berries on a piece of land covered with scrub oak. "Why," said the landlord, "that patch ain't lit for anything " then ald the philosopher, "That's nonsense. Why the don't yon try? Have you read, 'W hat I Know about Farming?' " To which the irreverent landlord said : "No, sir. I hain't, and I don't want to. We hain't got no time for 1 oollBhuess np here.'' From beginning to end of this farrago, thero is not a fragment, a scintilla of truth. No trout was reeled in, or part way in; for no reel was used no trout got away there was no swearing, nor thought of it no boatman made any such proteat no deer was hunteo or sought no gun was handled or touched no one suggested any planting of strawher ries in short, each assertion copied above from the Boston Post is i distinct, particular lie, without a shadow of foundation or excuse, as at leRst half a dozen responsible men will cheerfnllv testify. And the author of this tissue of falsehoods makes a business of in venting such, for which ho finds a ready market in the Loston 1'o.tt. And now, reader ! if you patronize and delight in journals that habitually originate or copy such Rlanderous trah as quoted above, are yon any better than the libelers ? Would they publish such stuff if they did not find it profitable r And do not you make it pro litable? Just consider. N. Y. Tribune. WATCHES, JEWELRY, ETC. -EVJIS LADOHUS & CO.
