6 LITBRATUItll. HE VIEW OF NEW BOOKS. From Claxton, llemsen k Ilaffelfinger we have received the following new books: "Art in the Netherlands,"' by II. Taine, translated by II. Dumnd, and published by Leypoldt t Holt, is a continuation of the series on the "Philosophy of Art," which gives the substance of M. Taine's lectures before the Kcolt den Beaux Arts in Taris. Several volumes of this series have already been published in this country, and have been received with a cordiality proportionate to their deserts. II. Tuino is an enthusiast on the subject of art, but at the siuie time he is a close and logical critic. He goes to tho heart of his s.nbject, and he is decidedly superior to lluskin or any other art writer of the day as a thoroughly reliable guile for art students. In his lectnre npon the philosophy of art he explains clearly and concisely, npon scientific principles, the reasons why certain artistic growths produced, the results that they did, and the work before us is a disons fcion rather of the peculiar influences that in fluenced artistio development in the Nether lands, the crowning glories of which were the works of Iinbens and Kerabrandt the one representing Flanders or Belgium, and the other Holland than of particular artists and their works. M. Taine, as an art writer, has apparently no prejudices, and tho most notable feature of the work before us is the fair, can did, and thoroughly appreciative spirit in which he discusses a phase of art with which many cultivated Frenchmen could have but little sympathy. The work is therefore one that can be read with profit and pleasure by all who are interested in art subjects, and it and others of the scries to which it belongs should be upon the library shelves of every artist and lover of art. I J"With Fate Against Ilim," by Amanda M. Donglas, published by Sheldon & Co., is a novel with a somewhat commonplace and un satisfactory plot, but with some very vigorous delineations of character which will commend it to the attention of thoughtful readers. Miss Douglas could scarcely produce any other than a thoughtful work, and this story is in many respects an advance over har pre vious efforts in all tho higher qualities of her art. From J. B. Lippincott it .Co. we have received parts 11, 10, and 17 of "Lip pincott's Pronouncing Dictionary of Biog raphy and Mythology," by J. Thomas, A. II., M. D. These parts include the titles be tween "Dnfresne" and "Anthony Hamilton," and very nearly complete the first volume. Dr. Thomas has labored for a numbar of years in tho preparation of this work, which is the most complete of its kind ever pub lished. It is characterized by a number of important .features that are not to be found in any other biographical dictionary, and which add greatly to its value, and its articles, although necessarily brief, are generally very complete and satisfactory in the information they give, while there are copious references to authorities for the benefit of students who wish to follow up particular subjects. The publishers have done their part, well by hand somely printing the work on fine paper, and when it is completed it will be a credit to Philadelphia as well as to those immediately connected with its preparation. From J. 13. Lippincott & Co. we have also received of the recent publications of Lee & Skepard "Plane and Plank," by Oliver Optic, the second volume of the "Upward and Onward Series." This is an entertaining story with a good moral, adapted to the tastes of young readers, and as it continues tho ad ventures of "Phil Farringford" and the other personages of the first of the series "Field and Forest," it will be read with interest by those who have perused that -story. From the same house we have also re ceived The Atlantic Almanac for 171. Pub lished by Tields, Osgood & Co. This work contains a variety of valuable statistics, muoh excellent miscellaneous reading matter, and a great number of attractive illustrations. The American Sunday-school Union send us of their recent issues "2Iissionary Anecdotes," "Fergus Morton," by J. 11. Mao duff, D. D.; "The Swallows of Leigh Farm," andi'Tbo Drifting Boat; or, Joe Fenton'a lieveDge," all of which are suitable for Sun-day-school libraries or for presents to children. From T. B. Peterson & Brothers we have received "Mrs. Goodfellow's Cookery As It Should Be," a standard work that has received the cordial endorsement of. thousands of careful houaewives, and "Major Jones' Courtship," a humorous work that appears to have a never-ending popularity, as the regu larity with which new editions of it appear upon our table indicate extensive and con tinuous sales. 'Trudy Keeping nouse," by Sophie May, published by Lee & She pard, is the title of the fourth volume of "Little Prudy's Fly away Scries," the first throe volumes of which have been read with eager interest by innumerable of the younger but by no means the least important class of readers. Keceived from Turner fe Co. "Zell'a Popular Encyclopedia" has now reached the forty-ninth number, and the titlo "Hobinson." This work was to have been completed in fifty numbers, but it has been found necessary to extend it beyond them, and the regular subscribers will receive the extra numbers gratis. The work will contain MX) more engravings than were originally announced, and in other respects the pub lisher baa more than kept his promises uuie at the commencement. We have so often alluded to the great merits of thia encyclo pedia and its remarkable cheapness that it is scarcely neceseery to mention them again in detail, but as the holiday season is now ap proaching it miiy jut be amiss to suggest to our readers that the two handsome volumes which the work will mat would be an accept able Christmas gift that YCuM be highly ap precia'ed by the recipient, TUB DA1LT EVENING TELEQllAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY,- NOT EMBER 20, 1870. The December number of The Technolo Cut, which has been sent ns by Morris Frank, No. 019 Walnut street, eontains a variety of able articles on engineering, manufacturing, building, and kindred subjects. -The November number of The Journal of the Franklin Intitute has an exoellent series of papers on scientific and practical subjects. EXILED SOVEREIGNS. The ue el Hpntn find Her Ctmpailtn la Adversity. A Geneva correspondent of the Boston Adocr titer writes, under date of November 4: "Geneva is running over with political adven turers and displaced royalty. General Cluserct has been here under an assumed name. He has put out an anonymous circular, expounding lilt peculiar social and political tenets, lie has the same complacency as Georgo Francis Train; for the General called, the other day, to see a United States oQlcial, and imparted to him his lively regrets that be ((Jluseret) had not arrived earlier in France, where he was sure he would have been made President, and then all thiols would have been for the best, in the best of worlds. He hopes vet to cin a foothold in France. He Is not extinguished. "The old Duke of Brunswick, every hair of his head is of silk, has been astonishing Geneva by his odd sociabilities. The Duke possesses the finest diamonds in the world. Let a revolu tion breeze up, the old fellow, independent as the snail who carries his house on his head, takes his box of diamonds under his arm. Recently he has been seen in a jeweller's store in Geneva with his box of diamonds, and he has kindly taken out the compartments and shown his treasures to persons in the shop. Two American ladies at different times have been allowed to gaze under theso cir cumstances at the Duke's diamonds. Toe jeweller, with bated breath, had asked them did they know they had been talking to the Duke of Brunswick. No, they believed they had a Jew peddler before them, and one lady declares she told the horrified jeweller that he might be a duke, but he was not a frentleman. At home, in his hotel at Paris, the Duke keeps his diamonds in a stronghold ma le in the wall; and you may remember some years since, that by accident leaving his door open, a servant stole some of tbeee treasures; tho servant was arrested with the diamonds. While the matter was at mix tion, the Brunswickers appeared with tho charpe that the Duke had stolen their crown jewels, but as it is difficult to identify the diamonds tho Duke was not re lieved of his booty. Many of your readers who have visited the Tuileries may remember to have seen some of these diamonds, for the Duke wore at these balls epaulettes of diamonds, mag nificent studs of diamonds, and his sword-hilt was studded with diamonds. At Paris he has affected the manners of royalty, some cousin or near relation always carrying and sending mes sages to him in the third person, so that it is the more surprising to find him hobnobbing; with plain citizens, for besides displaying himself, and his jewels, in jewelry shops, the Duke plays chess with quiet citizens of Ganeva. "Ihe ex-Cucenof Spain has just taken posses sion of the larger part of the Hotel de la Palx, according to tho arrangement that I have before mentioned. The Queen, in 'taking her drives abroad,' is often, while her carriage waits, in vited to a motley group of face3 that more than once has reminded me of tho sketches that George Cruik6hank has made of similar group., demonstrating how truthful was that clever cari caturist to Bcenes of c very-day life. It is a gaping crowd, curious to sen an ex-queen who has made 'nice customs courtesy to her.' Through the instincts of courtesy, and probably from the remains of old habit, she is often disposed to bow, and she instantly returns the salutation of any well-bred or good-natured group, but makes a half undecided bow to that mass of faces where the grin is uusuppressed, and the broad jest is passed around quietly on fallen dynasties and independent social rela tions; but the ex-Queen Isabella has her chil dren quietly put in, and struggling with her weight on the carriage steps finally gets her seat with the most undisturbed placidity. It is hard not to believe that with so much gooanature and good sense in her face, under tno guidiug of a stronger husband than was chosen for her. ARMY OF TIIECUJIBERLiXI). NprrrlifB of Ornrral Kherninn and Hooker. From the Cleveland (Ohio) J'laintlealei; Suo. 25. General lloseerans, who occupied the chair, formally opened the meeting with a few re marks, returning thanks for the friendlj' greet ing, eulogizing General Thomas, with whom ho had more intimate relations than with any other of his ollieers, etc. Loud calls were then made for General Sher man. As he came forward the members stood up, swinging their hats and yelling in tho exu berance of their enthusiasm. The General said he ought not to speak this morning, as he was boeked for a regular speech on Friday evening. He was happy to meet so many gentlemen who had been associated as brothers in the field. He saw many faces with which he had been fami liar in other days. He trusted that as good citi zens they would now, in their new spheres, as ably assist in carrying forward our nation to a higher position of grandeur than that attained by any other. lie compared the condition of our country, in its peaceful state, with that of Europe; now the latter is the scene of war and carnage. We read in the morning papers of an army of 250,000 French men being shut up in a city by the Germans; he thought the Army of ttae Cumberland would hardly submit to that. He would not say that the trench were inferior to us; we owed, on the contrary, a tribute to the military genius of France, which has taught us so much; but still he thought it very strange that those 250,000 men could be shut up in that manner. The calls were so persistent for Gen. Hooker that he could not resist, and he wa9 accordingly assisted to the Speaker's desk by Gens. Wood and Palmer, amid wild applause. The old hero Is quite feeble troia the stroke of paralysis which destroyed the vitality of one 6ide; but he is quite erect, and his eye is as bright and his face as handsome as ever. He said he came npon the stand reluctantly; if he had known the use they were going to put blm to, he wouldn't have come. He was no talker, and he didn't wish to be: didn't want anybody to think he could say anytLing. There were plenty of young lawyers present who could talk to his advantage and to theirs. He was glad t6 see so many of his com rades here to-day, and looking so ready for the next war, which was bound to come. He wanted a war for the subjugation of Canada. Didn't waut any British possessions nearer than across the ocean. The General referred to the sham neutrality of England during the Rebellion, and gave vent to his indignant feelings on the sub ject. Every time that we met with a reverse here they had a jubilee in Canada. He wanted to take part in one more war, that for the takiug of Canada. General Hooker was loudly ap plauded. The new syetem of water works at St. Louis, Mo., will provide the people of that city with crystal water, instead of brown fluid. The works are to bo formally opened in three weeks. A lady at North Adams, on Monday last, narrowly escaped death through inhaling too much chloroform preparatory to having her teeth drawn. he remained insensible for seve ral hours.

The Missouri Democrat has the following In the course of a report of the newsboys' ban quet in 8U Louis on Thanksgiving Dayt The guzzling then commenced. Slewed oysters in tin vessels were dispensed by the lady and gentlemen waiters, and then the excitement began. It was impossible Jor a dozen hands to distribute the smoking bivalves fast enough to satisfy 150 hungry stomachs. Same boys would get their quota and devour it haHlly, and then crowd up and, like Oliver Twist, ask for "moie." The more backward boys scarcely got a smell of the oysters. The oysters being all served out, the waiters now dispensed chicken, turkey, beef, bread, etc., which were placed upon tin-plates with which the boys had been provided. Cakes, Eastry, and candies followed, and still the nngry stomachs were not filled. The waiters exerted themselves to the utmost to satisfy the demand; but it seemed as impossible to clog the appetite of a shoal of sharks as to cause theee boys to cry "enough." After half an hour's gormandizing, the boys appeared more hungry than at first. "Give me some more rooster!" cried one. "Do you Waut some bread ?" asked a lady waiter of a carnivorous lad who was clamoring for "more!" "No!" replied the youngster; "I'm full of bread; I want something greasy !" It did tot take, many minutes to clear the table of its contents. The "scrouging" and pulling were kept up all the time, and some of the smaller urchins were pushed out into the hall. There they commenced playfully to pound each other over the head with their tin plates, making a racket that would have done credit to Pandemonium., A large slice of fat bacon had been seized npon by one boy who mistook it for turkey. On discovering his mistake, he dexterously tossed it into the plate of another boy, and he in turn passed it to the next, until it wa's finally landed on the floor. After the table had been pretty well cleared, the boy b were pushed out aud told the dinner was over. Some of them halted on the side walk, then the mystery of their immense con sumption of viands was solved. Every boy had his pockets crammed with ail sorts of edi bles. One urchin disgorged two turkey drums, three slices of pound cake, a chicken wing, half a pie, five or six ginger-cakes, a handful of oysters, and thirteen pieces of barber-pole candy. The young scamps had provisions enough to last them a week, and still they were lamenting on account of not having deeper pockets to carry off more. The floor of the dining-room, after the crowd dispersed, was a sight for a housekeeper. It was completely covered with bones, bits of meat, crumbs of trampled cake, crushed oysters, and pulverized candy. So much for the first Thanksgiving dinner to the newsboys. It was a success so far as the getting a big crowd together was concerned, and was also an expedition mode of disposing of provisions. The next dinner of the sort should be spread In the open air, or in a large hall where all can be seated. THE DENTS! I lht on the Intrloncles of thftr Ttelatlonithlp. V'aKinjton Coi nspondenct of the Cincinnati Gazette. A late letter concerning a newly-discovered member of tho Dent family has led to several mistakes. Where Dromios are as thick as black btrric s there Is, however, abundant excuse for error, as well as good openings for comedy. Ttc letter in question related a conversation which took place between Colonel Fisher, late Commishioner of Patents, and a certain Mr. Dtnt. There was nothing which warranted tho inference that this particular brother-in-law, as he represented himself to be, was brother-in-law Louis, otherwiee Judge Dent, except the lack of general Information concerning the number ot brothers-in-law. The impression that General Dent, of the President's military family, and Judge Louis Dent were the only uroiuers ocanng me well-Known relationship to the President, probably caused tho mistake. All such errors will be less likely to occur in future if the following short directory of the Dents is consulted: The brothers in-law are four in number, namely: 1. General F. T. Dent, who olllciates with such urbanity at the White House, and relieves the President of a large share of the heavy rou tine of Executive business. 2. Judge Louis Dent, who is an attorney at law practising in the courts of Washington, and also in Washington. He was the candidate for Governor of Mississippi. 3. George Dent, who resides in San Francisco, and is officially connected with the custom house in that thriving city. 4. John Dent, who is well known in New Mexico in connection with his lucrative trader ship at one or two military posts there. His presence here led to a belief among several in the Patent Office that the gentleman who called and represented himself as a brother-in-law was the brother-in-law from the frontier. It seems, however, that the one who appeared to Colonel Fisher was only a cousin of these brothers-in-law, and not a full brother in-law. And while this relation has been established to his own full satisfaction, it has not as yet been as fully recognized by tho brotucra-lu-law. To apply the light ootalned from this direc tory to the case in hand, it was this cousin of the brothers, who are in turn brothers-in-law of the President, that had the interview with Colo nel Fisher in regard to the chances of securing the position of principal examiner. GOKEI) TO DEATH. Killed by a Hteer-Mhocklog Occurrence In Nt. I.oula. Between 4 and 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, says the St. Louis Republican of Saturday, a man named Henry Kaiser was gored by a wild Texan steer, near the corner of Eleveutu and O'Fallou streets. He was brought to the Health Oilice in a state of unconsciousness, having a terrible wound on the head. He was removed to the City Hospital, where he died in a very short time. The steer, after goring Kaiser, ran frantically along tho 6treet to the Imminent danger of people passing in the vicinity. It was pursued by a number of policemen. Dur ing the chase, Ollicer Shutgues was also gored by the steer. Citizens generally turned out with their shot guns, and the steer was finally killed not until, however, a large number of shots bad been fired. This occurrence fully illustrates the necessity of some prompt legislation by tho Council on this subject of driviDg cattle through the city. On Thursday morning at 9 o'clock, Thomas Butler was knocked down by a wild steer on Chambers street and slightly wounded. A man named Morris Carroll was also attacked and knocked down by the 6ame animal. The "suspended animation sensation" has penetrated to Utica. A few davs since a young man died in that city of delirium, ard the body was about being buried when a doctor thought be discovered signs of life. The work of resus citation was then commenced, but given up in a short time as fruitless. CENT.'8 FURNI8HINQQObb pATKNT SHOULDEK-8BAM SniRT MANUFACTORY, AND GENTLEMEN'S FURNISHING STORK.

Taking the average earnings of the railroad, per Kile, even ttt the present time, when the work of the roal is being performed on disconnected portions, and computing fur the whole distance of no miles at the same rate, we obtain an aggregate of Isso.ooo for gross annual returns.

From this exhibit It appears that, even at the pre sent moment, holders of the seven per cent, mort gage bonds are amply secured. Rut u must be borne In inliid that at tuls time an In'.erval of forty miles separates the two portions of the road which are in operation, and therefore that freight moving eastward pays tribute now only to ha f of the Bur lington, CtMlar Rapids, and Minnesota Railroad line, being diverted for through transportation over con necting lines. When the exlstlug gap is finished which, It is assured, will be by tho 1st of December goods whU h now pass over one-half will then tra verse the whole of the line, thereby doubling the present receipts of the road, even assuming that no increase of the gross amount transported takes plate. A glance at the map will show me position. We may assume, therefore, from the above exhi bit of the existing traillc, that the following esti mate will represent the Income acciuiug on the completion ol the enterprise after the 1st of De cember: Receipts on 170 miles from Curllnafon to Ccoar Falls, 18000 per mile 11350 OM C pei at ing ex nenscs at ho per cent, (anuual rate for lirst Dvc years) 878,000 Net Income 078,000 Interest j n bonds at 1 per cent, gold, equi valent to per cent, currency 273,000 Earnings l.i excess of lntercft applicable to divid -nd on stocks, being 12 per cent, on amouut of stock, say SW.ooo per nUe $405,000 1 his remarkable exhibit Is accounted for by tho character of the enterprise and the country through which It runs, and may be explained on the follow ing ground: First. The Uurllngton. Cedar Rapids and Minne sota Railroad ia a continuation of tho Chicago, Bur lington, and (uincy Railroad (the best enterprise In the wrst),jind it traverses, without, competition, tho richest portion of Iowa the most fertile State In the Union and receives as tributaries the Chi cago aud Northwest, Rock Island and Pacltic, rnion Pacillc, Chicago, Uurllngton, and Quincy, Minnesota Central aud Rockfoid and Rock. Island Railroads. Second. It Is the first and only completed Iowa road running in the Interest of St. Louis. Chicago. St. Paul, Maukato, and the Oreat Northwest. Third. It brings Chicago forty-live ml.es nearer to St. Paul than ever before. Fourth. It gives the only practicable route from St. Paul to SSL i.oula, ninety miles nearer than any other route. Its road-bed la in the unest cereal bearitig valley in the world. Fifth. It has four (4) great initial and terminal points, viz: St Paul, St. Louis, Uurllngton, and Chicago, and runs through tho finest region In the world for stock and grain Its sources of tralllo are Immense, both iroui local aud through transporta tion. The products of tho country comorlse Timber, Coal, Cereals, and Cattle all in unlimited quanti ties. The pi pulation of the siiirounolug districts, as shown by the census returns of tue last three years, Is Immense, and Increasing at the rate of almost twenty per cent, per annum. This rate of increase mun be greatlj accelerated by tno lntlux of wealth ami population which railway construction always brings with it. The above statement comprises some of the rea sons why the Uurllngton, Cedar Rapid and Minne sota Railroad Is w 01 thy of a place among the tlrst railways of the laud. The stock of the road has been all subscribed to by wealthy pirties along the line, and paid in lull. The bonds are held at 9, and Interest In currency, and are for s ilo ny banks and bankers generally. The greater portion of the whole Issue has been disposed ot In sums varying-from floco to f.io wo, and thex-lassof subsciibera la largely represented by Trustees of Fuuns, Cashiers of Hanks and Savings Institutions, Insurance Compa nies, aud judicious and permanent Investors. The bonds have Ofty years to run, are convertible at the option of the holder luto'the stock or tha Com pany at par, Bnd the payment of the principal is pro vided for by a sinking fund.
