THE DAILY EVENING TELEGllAi'll PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1870. LITERATURE. HE VIEW OF NEW BOOKS. "Workday Christianity, or the Gospel in the Trades," by Alexander Clark, pub lished by Claxton, Renisen A Haffelftnger, U a series of twelve essays in which the gospel troths are illustrated by the material facts that come tinder the observation of the car penter, the mason, the bricklayer, the foun der, the machinist, the potter, the glassmaker, the pilot, the printer, the weaver, and the day laborer. The idea is ingeniously carried out by the author, who is evidently inspired by an earnest zeal to Bet forth the great ideas of Christianity in a broad and catholic spirit; and if it may be objected that the essays are rather milk for bales than strong meat for men, it is nevertheless true that thoy will appeal more strongly to a very large class of readers than more elaborate and profound disquisitions would do. From Claxton, Kenisen & Ilaffelfinger we bavo also received the following juvenile works from the press of Lee & Shepard: The second series of "Tho Troverb Sto rks" consists of three prettily illustrated volumes contained in a neat "box, which illustrate the following proverbs: "A wrong confessed is half redressed;" "One good turn deserves another;" and "Actions speak loudor than words." "The Boys of Grand Fro School," by the author of "The Dodge Club," is a lively and amusing narrative of school life, which will be read with eoger interest by ninety-nine boys out of a hundred. "Charley and Eva Roberts' Home in the "Wist" is the third volume of the "Charley Roberts Series," and those who have followed the fortunes of Charley and Eva in the previous volumes will be pleased to continue the perusal of their adventures in their "West ern home. "Pinks and Blues," by Rosa Abbott, is the sixth volume of the "Rosa Abbott Series," and "The Little Maid of Oxbow," by May Mannering, is the sixth of the "Helping Hand Series." These are pleasantly-written juvenile Btoric3 that are sure of appreciative readers. Claxton, Remsen & naft'elfinger send us the following new publications of llirper & Brothers: Harper's Magazine has now been before the public for twenty years, and from the peculiar manner in which it has been con ducted, it has a value as a work of reference far greater than most periodicals. A well digested index such as has now been issued will increase the value of a full series of the half-yearly volumes of the magazine one hundred per cent., and tho publishers are entitled to the thanks of literary man espe cially, who frequently, in hunting for articles containing valuable information, such as are scattered through the entire series of Harper's Magazine, are compelled to search through tho tables of contents of volume after volume, when, with an index at hand, hours of valuable time could be saved. The"Index" toIIarper'sMagazincia from J une, 18r0, to May, 1870, and from volume I to volume XL, and as every other page is left blank, it can be continued by the purchaser for a number of years to come. A work of practical utility like this is its own recom mendation, and the "Index to Harper's Maqazine" will be a valuable addition to the book shelves of those even who do not pes eess complete tiles of the magazine, espe cially if they have access to one of the pub Jie libraries. A cheap paper-cover edition of "Tom Brown at Oxford" will not want for pur chasers, unless the popularity of Mr. Hughes' writings have declined most unexpectedly. This is certainly the most attractive descrip tion of life at the great English university ever written, and its frank and manly senti ments make it an eminently good as well as amusing book to place in the hands of young people. The never-to-be-solved "Mystery of Edwin Drood" has been issued by Harper & Bro thers, with all tho original illustrations and with a portrait of Charles Dickens, for the email sum ox twemy-nve cents, lnia is cer tainly cheap enough to suit all pockets. Turner & Co. send us "The Life of Arthur Tappan." Published by Hurd & Houghton. This is a sketch complete in its way, but unpretentious, of the life of a good man. Mr. lappan in a quiet way was in terested in most of the great moral, politieal, and religious reform movements of his day, and during his long career as a successful merchant in New York his means and influ ence were liberally bestowed in promoting philanthropic objects of every description The work before us has been prepared by Mr. Tappan u brother at the solicitation of many friends, and although primarily intended only for the perusal of the imme diately family of the deceased, it will doubt- less be read with interest by many who knew the subject of it by reputation. "The Choioe of Paris," by S. G. W. Ben jamin, published by Hard & Houghton, has also been sent us by Turner & Co. In this etory Mr. Benjamin has combined the various legends connected with the Trojan war and its causes, and has filled them out into a con nected narrative by drawing upon his imagi cation for incidents that the ancient poets have omitted to mention. For scholars such a work will have but few attractions, while the majority of readers who do not pre tend to be scholars, and whose ideas about Paris and Helen and the great oontest that grew out of their naughty behavior are not very definite, will be likely to welcome a work that treats the subject as a whole. "The Iliad" of Homer is but an episode, and most of the poets who have drawn their inspiration from the" same source as "The blind old bard of Clio's rocky isle" have followed his example in treating particular scenes and incidents, A connected story, therefore, like that pre pared by Mr. Benjamin, is likely to find appre tiauve reauers, eupeuituiy fttuong youug .people, and it will be an. excellent introduc tion to the perusal of tho grot works of the poets who, from H;-Her- to William Morris, have sung of Helen's beauty and its fatal con sequences. J. B. Skelly t Co. send us "Three Times Lost," by Mrs. Margaret Ilosmer. This is a religious story for children, which is well suited for Sunday-school libraries. the n ks i En ed cities. The Sortie from Mctz. Translated from the Culojnc Gazette. At ;5 in the morning of August 31 we were seated on the ground taking our coffee, and a heavy fog enveloped the neighboring heights, when suddenly a shell was tired, and fell in the rear of our bivouac, it was a signal. Towards !) in the morning strong bodies of the enemy's troops could be seen tnancevring in front of tae bi. juuen reiuuoi, ana taking the direction of Sanrbrucken. As the fog cleared off we saw the enemy in thick masses advancing upon the before-mentioned road to atteumt to force its wav through our linoa Tf. minpnrn thnt the whom nrmv of of Marshal Bnzaino, now concentrated in Met, had made this sortie in order to effect a junc tion with the corps of Marshal MacMahon, who was advancing from the northwest. But our troops were fully prepared for such an at tack, the diilerent heights around and about us were closely studded with batteries, and behind us stood the whole of the Laud- wehr in reserve. The cannonade cominouced about 2 'ISO. The French had certainly the most advantageous position, as their advance was made upon a kind of plateau, whilst we lay in the valley beneath. Shellr were burst ing upon our right and left, and the fire of the infantry commenced, but the principal attack of the French was not directed upon us, but upon our left, in the direction of the 1st Corps uArniee. lhe enemy continued his advance, but wheeled front. It was now night, and several villages were on fire. About 8 "o0 the 81st Regiment, who stood close to us, entered into action. The possession ot tne village of iTemy was disputed with the most determined obsti nacy. Towards D "SO the firing seemed to decrease; only here and there some very heavy musketry fire could be heard. The French had gained the ground. 1 he place on which they had concentrated their attack was not sufficiently guarded by our troops. It thus became a question as to whether the enemy would be able to maintain the position he had gained, as during tho night we were con centrating large numbers of troops upon the spot. Ave remained the whole night through in our former position, with out closing our eyes. The next morning, at (J MO, when day broke, tho battle was commenced with renewed vigor. Our men stormed the position of the enemy on all sides with loud hurrahs. The French began to yield, and this time the enemy was worsted. At J o clack the enemy had, in spite of the courageous and almost despair ing resistance they offered, been driven back upon all points, and the battle had now been gained by us. Ihus the two days battle was gained by us, and the last hopes of Bazaine to effect a junction with MacMahon had been disappointed. To-morrow morning (the fth instant) the two enormous mortars will open fire. They are placed to the northwest of the fortress. not far from the village of Mittelhansborgen. Each of these mortars weighs 175 cwt., aud the projectiles weigh 2 cwt. each, and have about a L lb. charge of powder. The eftect of these guns is something astonishing, and with their aid the few bomb-proof places existing in Strasburg will soon be destroyed. This morning, on the Kehl side, where the batteries continue a heavy fire, a great suc cess has been accomplished, for the gate lead- mg from the town into the citadel has been completely destroyed, thus reducing to a minimum tne possibility ol defending or holding the town in its isolated position. Fire has again broken out fiercely just behind tne ramparts, lesterday two peasants who had made an attempt to murder one of our sentries were brought in prisoners from Hon heim. It is most astonishing that a bitter feeling of animosity against us is cherished by most of the inhabitants here, and every thing has been done by the French to in crease ill-feeling and hatred. Bltsche. From the Frankfort Gazette, 1th iut. Yesterday I again crossed the frontier, as the roaring of the cannon and the incessant roll of musketry which came from the direc tion of Bitscho told me something was taking place, ine ireiicn, who were well acquainted with the inferior numbers of the Bavarian in vesting army, attempted a sortie from their earthworks yesterday, but fortunately their efforts were frustrated by the Bavarian troops. A vigorous and determined combat resulted, but the enemy was" repulsed, with compara tively heavy losses. The French troops oc cupy a most advantageous position; they can from the heights observe every one of our movements, and secured from our observation by the subterranean communication between the two portions of tho fortress, they can con centrate their troops on any given point for a sortie, remaining hidden from the view of our troops till the very last moment. To day numerous guns lrave arrived, twelve guns from Gemersheim and a number of mortars with suitable ammunition, and more will ar rive to-morrow or next day, when it is sup posed that the investing army will be com. pleted, and the steady and systematic bom bardment commence. Toul. From the Cologne Gazette. An immense amount of trouble and diffi culty was experienced in bringing the heavy guns hero over the different high roads; but they are now in position and to-morrow the bombardment will commence. It is earnestly hoped that this small fortress, which contains only 2000 Gardes Mobiles and abo ut 1000 regulars, will very soon surrender, as the possession of the fortress is of the utmost importance to us, so as to open the line of rail to Cbalons-sur-Marne, the key point of which is Toul. The insecurity of the road is daily increasing, and small bands of armed men are making raids all over the country. Orders have therefore been given that all convoys shall be sent nndsr escort of a suffi cient number of troops. Of the Berlin police force no fewer than twenty-four subordinate officials were under obligation to serve in the "Landwehr." The Paris Lilerte of the tth inst. con tained a letter from J. d'Armas Cespedes, assuring France of the sympathy of the Cuban republic. A non-commissioned. Prussian officer who was detailed'to stay at the depot of his regi ment made three applications to be detailed for active duty, all of which being unsuccess ful), he shot himself in a fit of despair. A soldier belonging to a light cavalry re giment from the Bavarian town of Kempon said to bis sweetheart at parting, "ilina, mine! if the Fremch ever get here, you may know by that thfct I aud my comrades are all dead:" A TIN WED DIN (J. The "Heifer Calf Party" at Wellesley, oa the 4 th of July last, participating in the cere mony of naming a Jersey heifer, born July 4, 18I0, which created so much atuusemont and was the topic of so much conversation, has been followed by another gathering ia the same locality this time of about threo hundred and fifty ladies and gentleman, in vited to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the marriage of the host and hostans Mr. and Mrs. William Emerson Baker. The invitation to this party was a sheet of tin 7x! inches, on one side of which was a photograph Gx8 inches, representing Mr. Baker standing in front of the chapel on hi-) grounds (the Ridge Hill Farms), touching with his right hand a large black waiter on which appeared, in white letters "Mr. and Mrs.," his left hand rested on a printed card measuring, in tho photograph, 2Hl inch, his fore-finger carelessly pointing to the following legend thereon: Request tho presence t Kidge Hill Farms, Wellrsley, Septcaibi-r 2'', 1SV0, to participnc In celebrating tne Tiuth anniversary ot their in ir rlmre. It. S. V. i Epithalnnila by mail. In tho picture Mrs. Baker appeared seated behind this card, and their only child, Eddie, in n little wagon, to which was harnessed a pair of trained goats. A Rtuffed rabbit, Frenchly dressed with ft frilled collar, etc., etc., and playing on a violin, a stuffed ante lope, and various other things or this kind, filled tip the picture, while the open door of the chapel a Horded an interior view of the same. On the reverse side of the tin sheet was printed the following "directions:" Get Hidge Hill Farms' Kxcurslon Tickets at the Boston Station of the Boston anil Albany R. li. Take the T30 P. INI. train irom Boston. In the rear cars, en route, a sandwii'h lunch will be served. Conveyance will be at Wellesley K. R. Station. On arrival at liltljre Hill Farms, guests will march with the Tin band composed of such as may have Tin Instruments to the .Reception at the Chapel In the (trove. Return by train leaving Wellesley at 722 r. M. In the preparation of those unique tin invi tations tho services of eight persons were employed, and many of the fortunate re recipients have been besieged by their friends for a loan of them for inspection. As arranged, the four rear cars of the 1'3 ) P. M. train of September '20, espocially re served for this occasion, were filled with the merry guests. Ham and tongue sandwiches were served in these cars en route, each en veloped in white tissue paper and again in tin foil; coffee and bouillon, or beef tea, was presented in tin cups, accompanied by small, hard and crisp Ridge Hill Farm pickles, etc., in tin plates. The decorations and quaint and comical devices on the road from the railroad station, on the grounds, and in tho buildings, were numerous and witty, as the hearty laughs thereat attested. About half way from the station to the house a large sheet of tin, some two by three feet, was suspended over the road called Grove street, on which was inscribed "This farm 20 acres added to Ridge LTill Farm, Sept. 1.1, '79. No more farms wanted, having other use for spare tin." Opposite Mr. Baker's "Chamberlain Farm" a tin man, life size, was balanced on a tree, continually bowing to the guests as they passed. On the "Woodside Lawn" stool a tinman, with eye-glass, pointing over "Chapel Green" to the chapel, with the letters soldered on a bent wire, "'lliere they 7?" The "Gallery Olympic, for the Develop ment of Art and Muscle," a building ninety feet long, was filled with engravings, paint ings, etc., from Pompeu and elsewhere. The Pavilion was decorated with folds of pink, white, and blue lace, birds suspended from the roof, and the Ridge Hill Farm's trade-mark (from Raphael's First Harvest Day), a swan in a boat on wheels, driving a turtle. Pompey's pillar proved 1 3 be a small l.rth amendment, holding an immense pipe on his shoulders. The Mysterious Chamber caused many laughs, as did the lunch room with all sorts of cakes, creams, picides, meats, fruits, etc., etc., which proved to be only deceptions; the tin cups and goblets were so mysteriously contrived tnat tne water ana wine (beet water) disappeared before one could get them to their lips. The company were all accommodated with seats at the bountifully spread tables in the large pavilion. These were ornamented with a large tin rooster (fac similie of those who delight the editors of the Boston I out), his spur pointing to a goodly sized dish, letters soldered on a wire reaching from his bill to his spur said "My chicken salad try it! Over a large dish of escolloped oysters was suspended, in mid-air, a fine specimen of the cod fish aristocracy marked, "Yours repec tively, Tom Cod, Massachusetts. O pish!" A large ship of flowers, cornucopias, anchors, and harps of the same were tastefully arranged at different parts ot the tables; there was also a tin tree, eight feet in hight, covered with sngar "kisses" suspended by tin stems, Mr. B. asked as a favor, that the gentlemen wauld allow him to give each lady present a kiss; no one objecting, ana the ladies being wining, eacn received a Kiss in the mouth, but it was found that each had a mouthful of cotton wool, covered with tin foil and sugar, Some of the. cakes were placed between Btrips of tin which were frosted over with sugar, and thus many tested their teeth on bits of tin instead of solid saccharine sub stances, as they expected. Various other similar devices and curious contrivances to promote jollity and induce a taste for tin ware were found, and fully appreciated. Columns would not suffice to hold an ac count of the sayings and doings on this memorable occasion. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. The day was a beautiful one, seemingly made for the host's especial benefit. According to the programme, as o'clock was reached, ample preparations were made for transportation to the returning cars, "Anld Lang Syne" was suns, many parting o omplimentary words were spoken, and soon t he long train appeared, was filled and rolled onward out of sight towards the city. Thus ended another of the unique entertainments furnished bis friends by the proprietor of the ltidge Hill rarms. lloston Journal, kept. 2 BULBOUS FLOWER ROOTS.
