THE DAILY EVENING TELEGKAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1870. THE DECEMBER MAUAZ1XES. The contents of tUe December number of Old and New are as follows: "Old and New;" "Wanted, a Statesman," by J. V. Clarke; "Athens and Her Enmuies," by William Everett; "Tarry at Home Travel;" 'The Holy Gospels," by C. A. St. Beuve; "The Ituprovinatore and the Heeler," by F. "V. LorinK; "The Last Week," A. A. Wood bull; "Jefferson 'a Ilip Van Winkle;'" "Spar rows," by Mrs. A. T. D. Whitney; "Ah Ying," by Julius A. Palmer, Jr.; "Pink and White Tyranny," chaps, xi, xii, by Mrs. H. B. Btowe; 'December," by William Morris; . - xRinrai una uvvesieu jveiiRion, ny 11. y. J Bellows; "Vintage," by H. H.; "The Dying Gladiator, by 'Iheodore Lymin; "tonus, by Mrs. Emily Ellsworth Ford; "The Exa miner;'' and "Kecord of Progress." From "Wanted, a Sta'.esuian," by J. F. Clarke, wo take the following: Our uiRlcnlty, in thin country, is that Riost persons begin public life as politicians, and bo acquire a habit of looking only to party success, which is fatal to all breadth of view. Vet we have had men who studied I tbrincipks, and rose above party; Huch wore jjeft'erson and Hamilton, however much op f posed they were in their time; such men 'were Y Jay and John Adams, and others whom I - need not name. Nor do I think that it can tbe denied that Mr. Webster was a statesman. Perhaps he became too much of a politician in his latter days; but, during most of his career, he kept his eyo fixed upon principles. Charles Sumner is r.lso a statesman. He satisfies all the tests we have laid down; ha has always w ished to steer, and has pever been willing to drift; he has always thought less of the next election than of the future of '1 the nation; and "he has always seen farther i into the future than his contemporaries. j That politicians have disliked him, while the people nave sustained mm, is anotner evi dence of the same fact, and a most encourag ing sign that statesmanship is valued by the mass of the people. The people can under stand ideas and principles better than mea sures. This, indeed, gives a temporary power to the demagogue; but it also helps the true statesman, who fixed his eye on the everlast I ing stars, while steering the ship of state upon the sea ef human history and temporal I circumstance. The great mass of the nation ; are willing to tolerate transient errors and mistakes in those who evidently believe in princip'es. As long as the Democratic party seemed true to its ideas of equal justice for all men, the nation sustained it: but when, to gain political advantage, it allied itself to slavehoklf rs and slaveholding, it lost its hold on the nationbl mind. So tho llepubliean party, which has saved the Union and abolished slavory, has seanred a long It'nse of power by that splendid record; but it w ill lose its hold at last on the public heart if it allows itself to be corrupted by venal politicians, and permits the greed of office to supplant faith in principles. As long as it is led by statesmen it is safe. When it is governed by politicians, no nint ter Low udioit and able, its power will be gone. The object of this paper is to call attention to this fact, that in this country it is not enough to have great politicians; we also seed, and are always needing, great states men. When this want is widely seen and felt, and public opinion recognizes it and demands men of that quality, the demand will produce the supply. As long as the people are satisfied with mere politicians, they will have them. When they call for something bettor, that better something will arrive. From J. B. Lippincott & Co. we have received the December number of The Sun day Magazine, Good Words, and Good Word Jor the Young. These three magazines, more than any we are acquainted with, maintain their high standard of excellence from month to month, and combine, in as perfect a man ner as is possible, sound instruction with excellent entertainment. Some of the best English writers of the day contribute regu larly to their pages, and they are illustrated by the designs of eminent artists, so that they are doubly attractive. The numbers before ns, besides the continued stories, contain many short papers and poems of much interest that will be appreciated by both old and young readers. The December number of Oar Schoolday Visitor concludes the fourteenth volume with an exoellent series of stories, sketches, and poems, and a number of clever designs by Messrs. Schell, Bensell, and other Phila delphia artists. This magazine is well printed upon good paper, and it is undoubtedly one of the cheapest and best of the periodicals for young people published. The " Philadelphia Photographer for De cember gives as its "specimen" a "compo sition photograph" by Notman, of Montreal, representing the skating carnival given last winter in honor of Prince Arthur. This pic ture has unusual artistic merits, and is one of the best of iti class we have seen. The magazine contains a great number of practi cal and artistio hints that will be appreciated by photographers and all who are interested in the art of photography. The December number of Tha Pena Monthly contains a number of well-written prose and poetical contributions. Tlte Coach Jlakers' Inter national Jour nal for December presents a series of artices that deserve the attention of the couch- making fraternity. Bismabck's Opinion of the Jews. "I am no enemy of the Jews," ho said, "and if they are my enemies I forgive them. Under some ciroamstancea I evn like them. I willingly accord them every right, only not that of an important othcial power in a Christian .State For me, the words 'by the grace of God' are bo mere empty sound; und'l call that a Christian Btate which makes the end and aim of its teachings the realization of the truths of Christianity. Many speakers have again in this, as on ether questions, called attention to the example which 1 rsuoe and England set us. The question is one of less import ance there, since the Jewish community is much smaller tuan witn us. .but l would cal. the attention of those gentlemen who are ao fond of seeking their idepl uuter-Wiin, and outre-intr to one distinguishing trait in the character of the Frenchman and the English man. That is, to the proud feeling of na tional honor, which does not so easily fall down in admiration of foreign institutions, as unfortunately is the case with ns. If I should aee a Jew a representative of the King's most sacred majesty, i auouia xeei aeeply nu mihated.' JJelyrana.

The wayside "holding," with as ninoh land s be and his family con cultivate, is ths Irishman's ambition. He instinctively clings to it even at the rack-rent which absorbs his pavings, and in spits of the frequent notioe to quit by which his plaus for improvement are snubbed. Loud lamentations on sani tary and other grounds are made over these primitive habitations, which too often have but one room, yet the elements of national strength are perhaps better developod in Paddy's cabin than in Sir Sydney Water low's Loudon "blocks." Tho "small farmer's" hut has been a citadel which has boon imprt-gnnble to every power but tho crow bar, and from that, too, often defended to tho extreme of bloodshed. However little "civilized" in its aspect, it represoats a main cause of Irish elasticity under the many woes that have come on the nation, for it is home in the old sense, and in it family life is healthy. We have yet to discover the sys tem that will equal th.it primevally ordered group the family in developing the good and controlling the folly of mankind. We can excufe much that is unpleasant to the eye, and even to tho nose, when we find the father dressed in homespun frieze and half-a-dozen children learning to "mind" the pig and the poultry under the eyes of thoir parents. Shoeless, and fresh from dirt-pins, their training somehow produces a noto riously intelligent youth. We think thorn miserablo, yet in all Ireland there could not be a Ginx' Iaby. It is curious how little Irish peasants are ashamed of thoir poverty. They understand that they are not to blame for the precarious tenure which checks the natural improvement of tho home they would fain love. Faith and imagination, not less than a fine common sense, support tiiem in the belief that respectability is not en tirely dependent on well-blacked boots, slated roofs, and heavy feeding. As it appears likely that the nation will remain agricul tural, Papist, and poor, we may as well recog nize the good that is in its customs, and enconrage them. The unison of com plaint, the uniformity of Irish life, testify that Paddy, after centuries of probation, has arrived at certain social conclusions which, if not exactly ours, have a distinct value of their own. He will not accept our advanced ideas, and he persists in faiths, hopes, and charities which, how ever obsolete, have done good work in their time. They have at least kept him patieut under trials that are hardly yet over. To discover good under the roof of a cabin in Fenia certainly requires an effort; nor do we find gratification to any but the moral sense as ve drive through her ruinous scenery. No pomps and vanities of culture Hatter our taste, and if there is little Philistiuism, tbtre i.i less sweetness and light. Iu the most fertile districts it it is evident that land is not, as in England, a luxury for the rich, but a necessity struggled for by tho poor. It is depressing to spend many days in a land of "remains, and learn the lesson, which the Irish have perhaps laid to heart too much, hat all is vanity. J-acu invading race has left its crop of ruins, but the hearthfire still glows in the cabins nndestroyed, and is pleasanter to contemplate than prehistoric crannogues, or raths, or even round towers and Norman keeps. Saturday llcview. HOW DID TI1EV GET TJIEIIE 1 Perilous Position of Two CiiNtawiDa-Valn At- Leuiis hi Itennue. Two men have been for about six weeks on a desolate and inaccessible island, called the Bird Bocks, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and a Government steamer has gone to make an attempt to rescue tnein. ine tiaouec Luroni- fit) says: The rocks are over seventy feet high, and to reach the summit the visitor must climb two perpendicularladders, over thirty feet each an operation attended with consider able risk and trouble. At the base of the island, large,', sharply efft boulders of black stone are scattered at irregular distances, against which and tho rock itself the waves, w hen the sea is running high, lash with tre mendous violence and force. In launching a boat from the rocks a calm day must be selected, and even then the greatest caution must be observed, owing to the great under- swell, which is almost as dangerous as the high running tea. One of the Government schooners in the fishery protection service made several attempts last week to reach the unfortunate occupants of this Kobinson Crusoe island, but failed, and, in addition, the commander to save his vessel ordered his crew to throw all the provisions overboard, with which it was intended to replenish the exhausted stock on the island. The steamer Lady Head also made an attempt but was not successful in reaching the charmed spot. It is decided now that a final effort will be made to reach the rock, and for that purpose a first-class outfit of boats, gearing, and other required appurtenances Lave been provided; and in the event of the attempt proving a failure, it is decided to pull the men away from it through water, by means oi ropes tied around tneir bodies. Three of the boats of the Lady Head were mashed to pieces, and the oocupants with the greatest trouble escaped with their lives. As a last attempt,' Mr. llobertson will throw a small line from the ship by means of a rocket. OfllclouaneM la Slckneaa. Officious people can never leave things alone. No one can possess Lis soul in peace or 00 bis own way unhindered of them. They stand at the cross-roads of all men's livts, pointing out to them the path they enght to take, and, whether in religious faith or in house-furnishing, the choice of a wife or the pattern of a boot, have their word to ay, their advioe to give and their fingers to dip, whatever may be the pie that is makinp Illness is one of their strong points, and if they hear that you are indisposed, whether slightly or gravely, they rush off to proffer edtice which you do not want and will not acctpt, and which probably would turn out a mistake if you did accept. Your disinfectant not equal to theirs, and they have brought jou the name and address of the chemist where you can get theirs. Your nurse does not know ber business; let them send for one of their own choosing to-night. Your medical man says you are suffering from a certain form of illness. Vt!l, of course he ought to know; but to the officious it seems veiy much like something else; or if they do sot to unite so far. they inquire, with the air of knowing all about it, whether he had not ordered such and such things to be done; au 1 if y ou say no, they urge yon to have their own medical man without delay, as they are so sure yours is making a mistake. And so on till they have worried you into a fever, when they take leave and bewail your obstinacy to the next corr.er. Any calamity is a godsend to them, for they have their innings when tbtir neighbors are so prostrate by distress that they can buzz about them at tbuir will. TLey are self-naturalized Samaritans, pbysi ' cians without diplomas, minister indeen- dent of orders or the apostolio succession; and the unlucky ones whom it is their p!e Bfiure to assist must either keep them off with a strong arm, which may lead to a quar rel, or yield themselves helplessly into their actie and officious hands.

FROST, f Jruscees- The bonds are Issued at t20,OCO per mile against the portion only of the line fully completed and equipped. Tbe greater part of the road Is already in opera tion, and the prepent earulugs are largeiy la excess of the operating expenses and interest on the bonds. The balance of the work necessary to establish thrccgh connections, thereby shortening the dis tance between St. Paul and Chicago 45 uilLs, and 90 miles to Bt. Louis, is rapidly progressing, la time for the movement of the coining grain crop, which, It Is estimated, will double the present Income of the road. The established character of this road, running as It dots through the heart of the most tulckly-seuiad and richest portion of the great State of Iiwa, to- gether with lis present advanced condition and large earnings, warrant us la unhesitatingly recommend- lDg these bonds to investors as, la every respect an undoubted security, a small quantity of the lsane only remains unsold, and when the enterprise Is completed, which will be this fall, an Immediate ad vance over subscription price may be looked for. The bonds have fifty years to run, are convertible at the option of the holder Into the stock of the Com pany at par, and the payment of the principal Is pro vided for by a sinking fund. The convertibility privilege attached to these bonds cannot fall to cause them, at an early day, to command a market price considerably above pr. L. S. Five-tweuties at pre sent prices return only ii per cent, currency lute- rest, while these bonds pay DM por cent., and we regard them to be as safe and fully equal as a security to any hailroud Bond lssuod; and until they are placed upon the New York Stock Exchange, tiie rules of which require the road to bo completed, wo obligate ourselves to robuy nt any time any of these bonds sold by us after this date at the same prlco as realized by ns on their sale.
