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.
