REVIEW OF yjSW B0 0K8.
. Mrs. Sarah J. Hale's "Woman's llooord''
is a wor'i that has enjoyed a well-ileservvl
popularity ever since its first public i i a
twenty years ago. As a work of reference it
occupies a place that no other biographical
dictionaiy can fill, and it is valuable for the
general accuracy of its statements as well as
interesting from tho fact that it presents aa
admirable review of the doods of noble
women from the creation to the prevent time.
Mrs. Hale devoutly believes ia the mental as
well as the physical superiority of her own
sex, or at least she goes into a long and in
gemous argument in her preface to prove
that such is the case, and .one of tho chief
fanlt8 of her book is that her prejudices in
this direction do not always allow her to
appear as an impartial historian.
Except in very bad cases, where the facts
are all so decidedly against her that she can
not do much with them, Mrs. Hale repre
sents her heroines as angels of light, whom
nobody but coirse, brutal, and wicked men
could possibly suspect of wickedness. Most
readers, however, can afford to smile at this
peculiarity and appreciate the book for its
real and substantial worth. Tho copious ox
tracts which Mrs. Hale giveB of tho writings
of female authors add greatly to the value of
the book, while her good taste in making
selections much increases its interest. A
third edition of the "Women's Record," with
numerous additions, has jut been published
by Harper & Brothers, and has been sent ns
by D. Ashmead. The peculiar plan of the
book, as it was originally published, by divi
sion into eras, and the mention of a number
of the heroines as "living women," thus
rendering numerous supplements and expla
natory fly leaves necessary, gives it in its
present shape a rather mixed appearance.
The inconveniences of this almost necessary
defect, however, is obviated by a very full
index, and the "Women's Record" stands as
an almost unique performance, and it
fully deserves a place in every library.
J. B. Lippincott & Co. send ns the fol
lowing of their recent publications:
"Dorothy Fox" and "Fernyhurst Court"
have appeared serially during the past year
in Good Words, where they have interested
a large number of readers. They are quiet
and pleasant pictures of some of the most
attractive phases of English life, and while
they lack the sensational element that many
persons have a special fondness for, they
present more legitimate attractions to per
sons of pure and refined taste than do many
the most popular works of fiction of the day.
Both stories are beautifully illustrated by de
signs from the pencils of artists of ability.
"Ruined Statues and other Poems," by
Louise Billings Spalding, is marked
by deep religions feeling, refined poetical
taste, and graceful versification. The writer's
muse does not soar to very lofty heights, and
candor compels us to say that she appears in
the volume before ns as possessing poetical
appreciation rather than poetical inspiration.
Some of the verses, however, appear to have
the genuine poetical stamp upon them, and
many readers will find pleasure in their pe
rusal. J. B. Lippincott & Co. also send ns tho
following new books from the press of Fields,
Osgood & Co.:
"The Englibh Governess at the Siamese
Court," by Anna Harriette Leonowens, gives
the substance of the very interesting papers
published in the Atlantic Monthly during the
past year under the same title, with some ad
ditional matter. Mrs. Leonowens for several
years occupied the position of governess of
the children of the Supreme Ring of ; Siani,
and living as she did in the most private
apartments of the royal palace, she had op
portunities for studying closely some of the
most remarkable phases of Siamese life and
character, such as probably no foreigner
before has ever enjoyed. Mrs. Leonowens
literary style is not remarkably
good, and she has not always
discriminated closely between the important
and the unimportant in her narrative, and it
therefore is at times exceedingly dull. Not
withstanding this, the book is one of great
interest, and is a valuable contribution to the
department of literature that treats of life in
the Orient. There are numerous illustrations
from photographs presented to the author by
the King of Siam, and the work is elegantly
printed and bound, so that it makes a beauti
ful presentation volume for the holiday.
" Miriam aad Other Poems" is
the title of Mr. Whittier'B new volume, the
only fault of which is that there is too little
of it. Mr. Whittier holds a place of his own
among the poets of America. Strong and
sweet, his verse is always pervaded by a sen
timent of the broadest Christian charity, by
an appreciation of the weakness of humanity,
and by a keen sense of enjoyment of the
phases of external nature. Besides the title
poem the volume before us contains "Nau
haught, the Deacon," " Norembega," "The
Hive at Gettysburg," "Howard at Atlanta,'
and others that have appeared from time, to
time in the magazines, with some that have
cot before been published. This little volume
of verses will make a very pretty gift for the
holidays.
Another attractive holiday book is Charles
Dickens' graceful little story of "A Child's
Dream of a Star," which Messrs. Fields,
Osgood & Co. have issued in all the glories
of thick creamy paper, red borders to the
pages, elegant printing, tasteful binding,
and numerous illustrations, by Hammatt
Billings. These last are common place in
the extreme, and are wholly unwortby of
their elegant surroundings. The best of
them are exceedingly bad imitations of some
of Dore's illustrations to Dante's "ParadUo,"
and they do the artist, who sometimes makes
really pretty drawings, no credit.
Jean Ingelow'a new volume of verses,
"Monitions of the Unseen and Poems of
Love ci.il Ci.ilwl.ou J," .uLinuovi by I'.-Z-jcU
JBroth.rt, been genf cjj by J, B. Lippin.
eolt ft Co. It is a great pity that Hiss Inf
low does not always thoroughly understand
tho characteristics of her own genins. The
"Monitions of the Unseen," the most elabo
rate poem in this volume, like the "Story of
Doom," which was the principal feature of
her last book, is a subject totally beyond her
range. There is much beautiful poetry in it
that we cannot but admire, while regretting
that the writer should have entangled herself
with a subject to which she cannot do juslioe,
and the clumsy "machinery" of the poem i
an even greater source of annoyauce than the
obvious failure to reach a certain ideal.
The other poems in the volume will, wo
are sure, be cordially appreciated by Miss
Ingelow'a admirers. They show a ruatnvity
and depth not to be found iu her enlier writ
ings, and tho pair of poems under the hsad
of "The Two Margarets," ar.il entitled "Mir-
garet by tho Mere Side" and "Margaret in
the Xebec," are at once original in subject
Rnd most poetical in treatment. They will
rank among tho very best of Miss Ingelow's
poems and will do far more towards main
taining her reputation than the more preten
tious performance that gives tho titloTo her
book.
From John Campbell we have received
rnrts !) end 10 of Vincent's "Hintory of
Delaware. This work increases in interest
as it progresses, and it will be a very valuable
contribution to our historical literature.
"Ihe Old Franklin Almauac" for 1871,
which we have received from A. Winch, No.
r() Chesnut street, contains, as usual, a great
amount of statistical and other information
that will make it a valuable work of refer
ence that cannot but prove useful in every
family, office, or workshop in the country.
UNITED GERMANY.
The It o j at Speech at the Opening of the North
(rrnnin I'lirilmiiem.
The speech delivered on November 24, at the
openiuir of the North German Parliament, ran
thus: "Honored gentlemen of the Parliament
of the North German Confederation: ilis Ala-
jetty the King of Prussia has been pleased to
confer upon me the task or. opening the Parlia
ment of the North German Confederation la
the name of the Confederate Governments. It
would have afforded his Majesty great satisfac
tion to be present to-day in your midst iu order
to thank God from this place for the successes
with which the arms of the Germau forces have
been blessed, and to express te you the part
which the national attitude and unanimity of
the Varliament, in affording the necessary means
for carrying on the war, have had in these suc
cesses. By the victories, unprecedented in the
military history of the world, which, by God's
will, have been gained through the heroic valor
and sagacious leadership of the Germans, tho
aggression undertaken by France against Ger
many in July last has been repelled. The French
people must have acquired the conviction that
its present power, since the destruction of the
armies which were sent into the field aarainst us,
is not capable of coping with the united military
forces of Germany. We should, therefore, be
able to regard peace as certain had our unfortu
nate neighbors a government the members of
which regarded their future as inseparable from
their country. Such a government would have
seized every opportunity to place the nation
to the head of which it has raised itself by
its own supreme power in a .position to
elect a National Assembly, and to delibe
rate upon the present and future of the
country. But the documents which will be sub
milted to you, gentlemen, by the President of
the Confederation, will afford you proof that
those who now hold the reins of power in
France prefer to sacrifice the forces of a noble
nation in a hopeless Blruggle. The incalculable
exhaustion and devastation which will be to
France the consequences of a continuance of the
war under the present circumstances must cer
tainly diminish the power of the country to such
an extent that its restoration will require a
longer period than would be the case In the ordi
nary course of war. The Confederate Govern
ments, however, are compelled with regret
to give expression to their conviction that
the peace between these two great neighbor
ing peoples, upon the continuance of which
they calculated more than six months ago,
will but be all the more in danger by the
remembrance which the impression of this
war will leave in France the moment
when France, by the restoration of her
own strength, or by the conclusion of alliances
with other powers, shall feel herself strong
enough to recommence the struggle. The condi
tions npon which the allied Governments would
be ready to conclude peace have been publicly
discussed. It is necessary that they should be
commensurate with the greatness of the sacri
fices laid upon the country by the war, which,
though undertaken by France without any
grouud whatsoever, had the assent of the whole
French nation. It is above all things necessary
that they should establish a defensible frontier
for Germany against the continuance by future
Governrneits of France of the policy of con
quest which had been pursued for so many hun
dred years, and that this frontier should
be settled in such a way as partly to
redress the results of the unfortunate wars
which Germany, at a period of internal divi
sion, was compelled to wage by the will of
France, it the came time iw is necessary that
our South German brethren should be freed
from the burden of the threatening posltiou
which France owes to former conquest. The
Confederate Governments feel that they can
rely upon the North German Parliament not to
refute the means which are still required for the
attainment of these objects. They are convinced
that now, when it is a question of rendering
secure the results which have been achieved, they
will meet In you the same patriotism and devo
tion which they found when the tak was that
of accomplishing the now-achieved successes.
It Is their most profound wish that it may be
possible to refrain from using the whole of
these means. In order to afford you a complete
survey of the political situation, the Govern
ment will lay before you the communications
which have recently ' reached tho Ministry for
Foreign Affairs respecting the treaty of Paris
of the 30th of March, 1850, in doing which the
Confederate Governments desire to express
Heir hope that the blexsing of peace
will remain assured to Jttiose nations
which have hitherto enjoyed them. The con
tinuance of the war has not prevented the ac
complishment of a work of peace. The senti
ment of unity which has been vivified by the
common dauger and the jointly-won victories,
the consciousness of the position which Ger
many, for the first time for centuries, has
achieved through her unity, the recognition ot
the fact that only by the creation of ptrmanent
institutions for the future of Germany can a lit
ticg legacy of this time of deeds and sacrifices
be assured have more rapidly and universally
than a thort time back would have been credible,
filled the German people and its Princes, with
the conviction that a stronger link than that af
forded by international treaties is needed be
tween the North aud the South. This unani
mous opinion of the Governments has led to
negotlutlone,tbe first fruit of which, grown on the
field of battle will belaid before you for your ap
proval in the chape of a constitution for a Ger
man Confederacy, which has been agreed upon
by the North German Confederation and the
Grand Duchies of Baden and Hesse-Darin Udt,
aid which has been unanimously adopted by
the Federal Council. The understanding which
has been arrived at upon similar bases with
Bavaria will also form the tubject of your de
liberations, and the agreement of views between
the allied governments and Wurtemberg re
specting the object to be aimed at permits us to
hope that similar agreement as to the method
of attaiuing it will not be wantlog. Honored
! ireritlernen. with this work von will worthily

K.'nni Vstrd for A ftovrl Kiklblilon.
I if itest novelty In Chicago Is a show ol bable
b ' : clrig to rluirih members. A few days ago th
1. . s of the 1'lyniouth Church opened a basaar,
in . At tho siipiresUnn of Mrs. Oeorge Onlway,
v lit thirty of the ladies of the churcU despatched
Hitlr bnliU'S and nurses by special express to the
show. The babies ranged In see from six months
to three years, and wero generally baadaome, and
nraily set off with various ornaments, which wera
calculated to enhance their attractive looks. Tho
(at baby was there (says the Tim:), the thin aoJ
thotilfhtrul baby and the hydrocephaly baby. A
short time after they had been gathered together,
finite a number or the nix nvnttis fellows called
luctily for rations, ani a base of supplies had to be
established with several boltlea and Indlvrubber
tubes, (juiet having been restored bv this mean9,
the little fellows wire ranged In a senil-clronlar
row before the footlights, and the handsome ladies
and the nien with side whiskers, or whom a largo
sprinkling were present, were exhorted ta deposit
their votes for the baby they loved best. Each
vote was accompanied with ten cants. Of the 30
babies present Is only received votes. Tne re
tuaiwler, like old politicians, found they were not
rn popular as gnmeof their inoro favored associate.
Of the 13 voted for. the three nv st popular babies
were of the mnacnline gender, and were named
linrry lionney Stout, Horatio Merritt, and Harry
Allen. Stout was a homtcopathic baby, and carried
all the rMse.lples of Hahnemann, besides the rotes of
several others who gave their rranrhlRea for the
baby because It was Stout's and Mra. stout's. This
was the successful Infant, receiving W votes.
Following close npou his heels was, tho baby of
Mrs. Merritt. It. was granted by a'l that the little
fellow pnsKesBcd what its name called for." Had the
liomrropathic question been kept out, of the canvass,
Horatio would have been declared the winner. The
third Infant, Harry Allen, lacked only two votes of
being as popular as his next higher competitor,
having 1M votes. The remaining 110 votes were
scattered among ten candidates, who had no show
in a competition with the three thorough-breds
aforemei Hoped.
There were several exquisitely beautiful female
bableR present, and, as the voters were mostly ladles,
the inference may he drawn that they were not or
the wmnn's rights temperament.
The show was a financial success, and will be
taken up In the ruture by the llrst denomination
that has handsome babies to create a real excite
ment. CUSX1XGLY CONTRIVED CHESTS.
HI1U nod attn fsriztire Rogues Robbing the
Revenue.
For some time past the Custom House authorities
have been aware that large quantities of silks and
Lyons velvets were being smuggled across the chan
nel from France to Ireland, mainly to Bcirast and
the Northern ports. The goods were there safely
stored until emigrants could be round by whom to
send the cloth Jo New York. The mode or operation
was as follows: A large trunk manufacturer, whose
name is Bald to be Downs, furnished boxes for emi
grants at reduced prices. These boxes, or chests,
were or the most substantial maun
fa ture, and contained false bottoms. Between the
false and real bottoms the silks and
velvets were hidden and smuggled into Near York.
The emigrants were recommended to go to certain
boarding-houses on West street, and when they
arrived there with their boxes It was a simple mat
ter to remove the smuggled goods and replace the
false bottoms. Tho goods were then removed to
two wholesale houses on Broadway, who were thus
enabled to sell fine silks and velvets at a low ngure,
very much nnder the market prices. So common
had this mode of evading the custom authorities be
come that It is probable that hardly a vessel left the
northern ports of Ireland without some of the In
geniously constructed chests aboard. It Is esti
mated that the loss to the United States Govern
ment by this fraudulent evasion or customs will
aggregate nearly t?60,uoo In gold. By some means
the secret leaked out and came to the ears of the
authorities, who Immediately instituted a vigorous
examination or emigrants' boxes on all vessels ar
riving at astle Garden. The search has been suc
cessful. This morning three of the attaches of the
Custom Bouse found a chest containing silks and
velvets, valued at tsooo, at a boarding-house on
West street. So neatly had the box been constructed
that it passed the oulc.ers at Castle Garden without
suspicion as to Its contents. Many boxes similar to
the one seized have been sent to Baltimore by the
smugglers, and the Custom House authorities In
that city have been notified of the fact by the New
York officials. The silks and velvets seized in West
street have been removed to the Seizure Depart
n:ent. A". Y. Commercial AdtertUer, last evening.
