TUB DAILY EVENING TELEGllAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1870. LITBRATUXU: & VIE W OF NEW BOOKS. From Torter & Coafea we have remive.1 QB6 of the daintiest specimens of bo k JViaking tbat has been put before the publics for many a day. Dear old Mother Goose, fhoee immortal melodies were oar first in troduction to the enchanted realms of poetry nd fairy lore, has received the attention of Artists innumerable, while the printers hive fcestowed their best efforts upon the ink and paper that have handed theso imperish able Tersicles down from generation to gene ration, and the bookbinders have expended nil their talents upon the gorgeous coverings that will captivate the esthetic taste of the snrsery. But never before has "Mother Goose" been seen surrounded by such a combination of attractions as in the beauti ful volume before us, which the publishcis designate by the title "Mother Goose in Her New Dress.' This very artistic performance consists of a series of quaintly humorous de Signs illustrative of some of the most popu lar of Mother Goose's melodieR, with a few French and German versicles of similar char acter, which have very decided merits ol their own, but which are additionally inte resting from the fact that they are from the pencil of a daughter of Chief Justice Chase. The designs were made Vy the young lady for presentation to her father upon his birthday, and they have baen made pub lio at the earnest request of Jay Cooke, Esq., who very rightly thought that so much artistic merit ought not to be hidden from the public in the portfolio of the Chief Jus tice. Miss Chase would not consent that her ' name should appear upon the title-page, but if the public have the sketches they ought also to know who produced them, so that there is no impropriety in alluding to what is only half a secret at best. The publishers have reproduced the sketches in chromo lithography, and have taken special pains to preserve all their characteristics as far as was practicable. The book is bound in sumptu ous style, and, considering the elegance both of its exterior and interior, the price asked for it, $4 '50, cannot be considered as more than moderate. "Virgil" is the fifth volumo of the inte resting series of manuals entitled "Ancient Classics for English Headers," edited by Rev. "W. Lucas Collins, A. M., which are being published by J. B. Lippincott & Co. The volume before us was prepared by the late Professor John Canington, one of the best Latin scholars of the day, and the author of the most readable translation of the "Eneid" that has ever been made. It gives a brief but satisfactory account of the poet, ft description of his pastoral poems, and an analysis of his great epic, the "iEneid," that will give a very excellent idea of the charac ter of that poem to readers who may not have the time or disposition to peruse it as a whole. The critical and explanatory remarks in this volume are excellent, and they will be of much assistance evea to those who have an acquaintance with Virgil's poetry. From J. B. Lippincott & Co. we have re ceived the following juvenile publications of Lee & Shepard: "The Springdale Stories," consisting of six very pretty volumes enti tled as follows: "Ennisf alien," "Erie," "Her bert," "Johnstone's Farm," "Nettie's Trials," and "Adele," are put up together in a neat box. Theee stories are by Mrs. S. B. C. S muels, and they form of themselves an at tractive juvenile library. "Little Folks Astray," by Sophie May, is another attractive etory for young people, and "Light at Even tide" is a collection of choice hymns and reli gions poems, selected with a special view to the entertainment and edification of children. The first number of the latest venture in the field of periodical literature, Scribner'a Montldy, promises well for its success in the future. The editor, Dr. J. G. Holland ("Timo thy Titcomb"), is well known as a popular Writer, and Scribner'a Monthly under his care will doubtless seek to suit the average popular taste and to become a Welcome visitor to many home circles. The initial number presents an excellent variety in the style and substance of its articles, and combines entertainment and edification in a manner that will be highly acceptable to the majority of magazine readers. The illustra tions are numerous and good, and the new magazine altogether looks as if it would prove a decided success. T. Ellwood Zell sends us Fart 45 of "Zell's Popular Encyclopedia," which is brought down to the title "Fhasianidie. " Among the most important of the subjects treated in this number are "Paris," "Part nership," "Patent," "George Peabody," "Pearl," "Pendulum," "Penitentiary Sys tem," "William Penn," "Pennsylvania," "PerHia," "Peru," and "Petroleum." In five more numbers this valuable encyclopedia will be compute, and as its price will doubt less be advanced, those who wish to obtain it at the present low rates should subscribe for it without further delay. Turner & Co. send us the following magazines for November: The Lady's Friend has a line steel-plate frontispiece entitled "The Glee Maiden," a double-page colored fashion plate, and nu merous other illustrations. The stories, sketches, and articles on practical house wifery are interesting and useful, as usual. Arthur' Home Magazine is illustrated by aumerous wood-cuts, and it presents an en tertaining literary miscelUny adapted to the tastes of old and young. The ChUdren'i Hour has a pleaiaut variety of short stores, verses, and pictures to please the young people. HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN IN SPA X. In bis newest book, Hans Christian Andor gen tells, in his own peculiar way, what he aaw in Spain and on a visit to Portugal. Here are a couple of extracts: Here yon come again upon the Alameda, and if you continue up the river Guadalme. dina you find yourself in that part of Malaga where the life of the lower classes is the most aiming, and that is cot on the Plaza above, nt down below, nearly in the river's bod. I Tbe river has been almost for a year entirely without water, and now, in its dried-np state, it httd been converted into a market place. Horf.es and ass stood in it bound in pairs; viands were being cooked in pots and pans over blitzing fires; tables and plates were laid it would hnve made a good sketch! Collin and I drove for at least a mile in the empty bed of the river. One of the rich inercbsnts of Malaga, M. Delins, to whom I bad brought an introduction, had invited us to make this excursion. He wished to take us to bis villa and his beautiful garden. An impenetrable bede of gigantic cacti crowd ing the sides of tbe hill fenced it in. The garden, laid out in the form of terraces, was rich in trees of every variety; there was a grateful shade under tbe orange trees and the bananas. Tall pepper-trees, with their reddish-colored berries, like string beans, were drooping ah willows do their boughs over the clear greenish water in the basins. Here stood lofty pplm trees and rarer pines. Here also were citron tret-sand high blossom ing geraniums; pnsion flowers hung in masses like the honeysuckle on our village hedges. Here flourished in the sunshine extra ordinary lily-shaped floi rs I thought I recognized thf-n ftoui the ara besque designs of gold and silver I bad seen in the old story books. The most expensive plant hero, I was told, was the green grass. A couple of large fields looked so fresh, and were kept in Buch beautiful order, that it seemed as if each blade were trimmed and washed. The air was cool, almost too cool for us, who had come from the deep, hot valley beneath', and had now ascended on foot to the highest terrace in the garden. Malaga lay below us; the immense cathedral looked like an ark upon a petrifiod, foam-white sea. Wo visited another villa on our way home. It had been forsaken by its owner; he had ruined himself by speculating in water that is to say, he had spent his whole fortune in constructing in his garden enormous stone basins in wLioh to collect the rain water from the hills, intending to distri bute it widely for consumption. The gar den was now overgrowH witn weeds, and water stood stagnant and green in the deep cisterns, as if it knew its importance, and yet it was not fit to drink. Reptiles were in abundance, but not a bird was heard to sing. The sunbeams were scorching here, but they were still more scorching as we drove through the dry, stony river bed; we were devoured by thirst. It was very refreshing to get a cactus fruit cliumbus it was called. I vowed, in gratitude for its cooling drink, that I should put it into song it whose flowers and fruit bear the colors of Spain: Yes, yellow and red are the colors of Spain ; Iu banners and flairs they are waving on high; And the cactus flower has adopted them too, In the warm sunshine to dazzle the eye. Then symbol of (Spain, thou flower of the sun, When the Moors of old were driven away, Thou didst not wltii them abandon thy home, Hut stayed with thy fruit aud thy blossoms gay, The thousand daggers that hide In thy leaves Cannot rescue thee from the love of gain ; Too often It Is thy fate to be sold, Thou sunny fruit with the colors of Spain. The following is from the chapter on Grenada: The following morning the scene of the fray appeared in its usual beauty and tran quillity. The sunbeams played through the branches of the trees; the fountain splashed; the clear water in the ditches streamed on ward, bearing with it freshly plucked roses. Castanets sounded; a handsome young lad, clad in velvet, with well-combed hair, danced in the middle of the dusty road, with a little girl scarcely twelve years of age, poorly but neatly dressed; she wore a coru-ilower blue frock, a rose-red apron, and a yellow dahlia drooped in her black hair. Tbe dance was graceful, and, as it proceeded, full of passion. There passed, too, a band of gyp sies in holiday attire, probably a whole family, the women equipped in violent colors, and with fiery red flowers in their shining black hair. Even the tiny children, who were being carried, had each stuck a blossom into its hair. 'Ibis family the author later saw figuring in apart of the Alhambra, which was being photographed. "They stood and lay in groups round the court; some of the smallest children were perfectly naked; two young girls with dahlias in their hair stood in a dancing position, holding castanets; an old, fearfully ugly gipsy, with long grey hair, was leaning against a slender marble column, as he played the zambomba, a sort of kettle drum; a stout but extremely pretty woman, in a tucked-up embroidered dress, struck the tamborine." THE FIJI CANMBALS. War and ftla-rMn tJreat Itlasaacre itlutlav and iHurder bv a Crew. The Fiji Timt of July 83 thus describes the out break of war on the northwest coast, which was attended by a terrible massacre. Particulars of the fate of a Mr. Norman, who was mardered and eaten by his crew, are also given : We have just heard frightful news from the Ba, on the northwest coast of vltl Levu. For some time past the Ba people have been at war with the mountaineers, aud a few have been killed on botn sides ; but a letter just la from the native minister lriftirnis us of a fearlul massacre. The mountaineers from Navosa came down to Nalotu, an Inland dis trict, hitherto subject to Ba, and the advanced for tress or Brl-nl-mua of the Ba people. They put up a wsr fence, and then Wawabalavu, tbe Navosa chief, called out and said, "You Nalotu people, I am Wawabalavn. 1 it u who ate Mr. Baker aud the Ba men. Do you trust to trust to the Lasakau people? Dont; their trade is tinning. You oner peace offering or make submission that you niiy live." Tne Nalotu people were tilled with fear, aud presented peace offerings. The mountaineers then entered their towus and remained for a few days In apparent friendliness, hut their num ber was being continually increased by new arrivals from tbe hills. They then turned round suddenly upon the Nalotu people and slaughtered B70 of them. That so many have been killed is lHyoud doubt. (Silas, the native minister, who lives at Ba, writes: The Navuuivasl town, 111 killed; Drautani, 111; Korolkewa, 68; Nasaica, 2T altogether, 870. That this number were clubed Is clear, but there are many still missing, who are hidiuirin the iunule. or have been takeu prisoners of war to Navosa. Per- naps tney are kiuca, nut ineir bodies have not yet been found, only 104 have escaped alive to Ba." The heat liens say that the nest town they will attack will be Ssgunn, the chief town of the a district. It Is thought that Nabeka. a noted caimiual Ba chief, who is envious of Tul Ka. U one with Waw&baiavu in this treachery. The same tribe, aud from the same town, muroerea me unrottunate missionary, Mr. Baker, in 1?. lu his attempt to oasa through their country on an exploring tour. The Ba coast lias do wmie neuiers upon u, oui attention was being drawn to the Ba river, and land was being boujiht upon it for cotton -growiog when the writer was in HM three months ago.
