REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS.
From Torter & Ooatea we have received
rtie following new publications:
"Other Worlds Thau Oars," by Richai I A.
Proctor, B. A., F. It. A. 8., pablisr-od by D.
Appleton & Co., is a discussion of the pro
babilities that the sun afid otbr planets of
onr system, besides the earth, are inhabited.
The latest results of. scientific inquiry are
brought to bear upon this interesting ques
tion, and the work is a brief review of some
cf the mofit important facts that have been
brought to light by recent investigation. The
author b a number of new theories of his
wn to put forth, but his work is mainly a
popular review of Buch facts as are
positively known, and hie arguments
for or against the probabilities that
the other planets contain inhabitants like the
earth are stated with great impartiality.
The discussion of this question is, however,
not the most interesting or valuable feature
of the work, and to the majority of intelli
gent readers it will be best appreciated as a
very excellent rtxume of the present condi
tion of astronomical science. It gives within
the limits of a moderate-sized volume the re
sults that have been achieved by telescopic
observation and by spectral analysis, and
although necessarily brief it is a compre
hensive Btatementof the most important facts
now known in regard to the heavenly bodies.
The author occasionally enters upon the dis
cussion of abstruse points that are beyond the
range of any but Btrictly scientific readers,
but the greater part of the book is not above
the comprehension of the non-scientific
public, and readers of all classes will find in
it much interesting information. The chap
ters on "liars, the miniature of our Earth"
and "Meteors and Comets" are particularly
entertaining.
C'Suburban Sketches," by W. D. Howells,
published by Ilurd & Iloaghton, is a series of
essays that will be perused with pleasure by
those who have enjoyed the "Venetian Life"
and the "Italian Journeys" of the same
author. Sir. Ilowella is an acute observer as
well as a sympathetic writer, and in the nine
essays that make up the volume before us he
describes the common incidents of New Eng
land life with tho same graceful touch and
genial humor that made his works on Venice
and Italy bo fascinating. "We commend these
"Suburban Sketohes" as very pleasant read
ing. "Fifteen Years," by "Salvi" (Mrs. Thereso
ItobinBon), published by D. Appleton & Co.,
is a story of German lite in the last century,
in which Frederick the Great and a number of
other historical personages figure promi
nently. The plot is based upon historical
facts, and the author has endeavored, not un
successfully, to give that local color to the
Btory that will make it what it professes to
bo, a picture complete in all its details of an
important period in German history.
"The Toison of Asps," by Florence Mar
ryat (Mrs. lloss Church), published by D.
Appleton it Co., is a novelette descriptive of
a certain phase of English society at the pre
eent day. The title is rather far-fetched, but
the Btory itself has considerable interest,
although it is not equal to other perform
ances of the some pen.
From Claxton, Itemson & Ilaffolfingor we
have received "Poems" by Bret Harto, pub
lished by Fields, Osgood & Co. Most of the
poems included in this little volume have
gone the rounds of the newspapers, and are
already established in popular favor. Those
who have enjoyed "Jim," "Dow's Flat," "In
the Tunnel," "Flain Language from Truthful
James," and other of Mr. Ilarte's composi
tions, will be glad to Bee them collected and
given to tho world in a permanent shape, as
well on aocount of their own great merit as
because
they are so distinctively American
both in
their pathos and their humor, and
because
they are so essentially poetical in
spite of
their crrotesqueness. Mr. Harte is
too often classed with such humorists as Mark
Twain and Arteiuua "Ward, whereas the gulf
between them is the impassable one that
separates true genius from mediocrity, that
Las itB day of popularity and is then
forgotten. Both the prose and poetical
writings of Mr. Harte have a gonuine ring
about them, and since Hawthorne's pen fell
from his grasp there has been nothing so
fresh, bright, and so purely American
added to our literature. Suoh a poem as
"Jim," for instance, is a perfect work of art
in its way, and its subject is, in the best
sense of the word, poetical iu spite of its
rough exterior. The humor and the pathos
in this piece are wonderfully blended, and
it deserves all the popularity it has aohieved,
for it tonches some of the finest chorda of
human nature. Although this poem has been
often published, there bre many who will not
be displeased to see it again, and we there
fore quote it from the volume before us as
an excellent specimen of Mr. Harte'a style:
JIM.

J. B. Lippincott fc Co. send us 'Gold
and Name," by Mario Sophie Schwartz, trans
lated from the Swedish by Sclma Borg and
Marie A. Brown. Published by Lee and She
pard. This novel cornea with an endorsement
from Mad'lle Nilsson, who congratulates the
translators upon their effort tc introdnoe to
the American public tho "magnificent works
of Madame Schwartz." We cannot altogether
endorse the "magnificent" opinion of Mad'lle
Nilsson in regard to the narrative before us,
but "Gold and Name" is nevertheless an in
teresting novel that will repay perusal. It is
a Btory of love after marriage, and although
the charactora are rather sketches than full-
length portraits, the plot is dramatio, and is
managed with much skill. The denouement
is rather clumsy, and what would otherwise
have been a tolerably good piece of melo dra
matio effect is marred by a long explanatory
narrative that might with much more advaii
tage have been placed at the commencement,
With this exception, "Gold and Name"Jis quite
tip to the average of the majority of the novels
of the day in merit.
From T. Ellwood Zell we have received
io. 51 of "Zell's Popular Encyclopedia, which
brings the work down to the title "Sentence
This encyclopedia is undoubtedly tho best
work of ita class ever issued in this country
It is remarkably free from mistakes, and con
sidering the vast amount of valuable infor
mation it contains, it is a marvel of choap
ness. The publisher has more than fullillod
the promises made at the beginning, and tLe
number before us is one of thoso issued to
subscribers gratis on account of the "Encyclo
pedia" having exoeeded its original limits. Iu
a short time the entire work will be com
pletod, and it will make a couple of hand
some volumes that will bo valuable additions
to any library.
The Lutheran Board of Publication send
us the first and second series of "Scripture
Trecepts for tho Young," a collection of short
religious stories for children, translated from
the French of Mad'lle Conriard, of tbo S. S.
Society of Paris, by Mrs. E. B. Stork.
The American Educational llontldy for
January contains a number of interesting
papers on education at home and abroad.
Good Health for January has a variety of
practical papers on sanitary questions that
concern everybody.
From Turner fc Co. we have received
Ecery Saturday and Our Boy and Girls.
The Central News Company, No. .r05
Chesnut street, send us the latest nurubera of
Punch and Fun.
T1IE SYMBOLISM OF FLOWERS.
7hen Goethe represents Margaret as pluck
ing the Btar-llower and crying, as its last leaf
fallH, "He loves me!" and Faust as saying,
"Let this flowery language bo thy heave aiy
oracle!" he traced all our drawing-room fortune-telling
with flowers to its true source in
divination. At the earliest age of the world
the human heart flt flowers to be the natural
symbols of gentle affections and noble aspi
rations. Their
"UselesBneos dlvlnost,
Of a use tho IlneBt,"
had redeemed religions and races from the
darkest phases of superstition before they
tangbt Ijoigh Hunt "the end of use." Trans
mitted from earlier, adopted by later religions
passing from pp.gan temples to be culti
vated in convent walls the common flowers
of our gardens have reached us as an imper
ishable trust bequeathed by tho first intima
tions of a Supreme Love to the mind of man.
These floral optimists have preached their
evangel of hope through the winter of
superstitious fear; and tho terrors pic
tured by priestcraft have been covered
over by their isoft and irresistible invasion
of eery churoh festival, their smiling sym
pathy with the bride, their power to wreathe
with beauty the colli u and the grave. It is
remarkable how little of ill has evor been
believed of them, whereas every animal has
been somewhere regarded as a devil. Except
a few names given with humor rather thin
malevolence, as devil's-apron and devil's-leaf
(daoun ectan, as the nettlo is called by the
natives of Timor;, and a few similar nmaos,
there are few which have ever suggested
diabolism. Chickweed, pigwort, pickpooket,
snap-dragon, Jack-iu-tho pulpit, and the liko,
are at worst grotesque; and lh a general
thing even poisonous flowers a acoaita,
called wolf's-bane, monk's-hoDd, eto. hav.
been regarded from the optimistio point of
view. The fatul thanginent of Madagascar
is believed to bo a divine plant, givon to be a
test of the rightfulness or wrosgfulaess
of an accusation. It was not with
antipathy that tho Egyptians reidd
the frail anemone as a symbol of sickness. It
is notable that the most sacred bowers have
been rather weeds and parasites than flowers,
and it is possible that they shared some of the
sanctity with which idiots are invested in
Hnseian villages. I doubt not t'nt ii' wt
could crot3-examine some brother of the
btone ago as to this preference for Joltn's
wort, he would express himself as nearly ai
possible in the language of a passage written
by Hawthorne auiidht bis conflict with the
squash-bugs in hi" garden: "Why is it, I
wonder," asb.i Hawthorne, "that Nu
ture has provided such a Lost of enemies
for every ui-ei'ul esculent, while tho
weeds are Hntt'ored to fjrov uniu lcstd 1,
end are providt 1 ith such tenacity of lifa
and such methods of propagation t but Wit)
gardener must mairtain a continual struggle,
or they will hopt-lessly overwhelu him i
What hidden virtue is in tLese things that it
iacrranUdto tow themselves wth the wind,
gablo Ntubhoronem, and to flourish in spite
of ' faokB, and never to suffer blight under
hv m ;n or shade, but always to mook their
ft ies with the aame wioked lnxnrianoe ?
71 irt is a sort of lnxnrianoe about them.
1 iiaps if we could penetrate Nature's ae-
n. i a we should find that what we call weeds
hie more essential to the well-being of the
world than the most precious fruit or grain."

The bonds are Issued at 20,ooo per mile against
the portion onl of the line tally completed and
equipped.
The greater part of the road is already In opera
tion, and the present earnings are large iy in eoea
of (he operating expenses and Interest on the bonds.
The balance of the work necessary to establish
through connections, thereby shortening the dis
tance between St. Paul and Chloago 45 miles, and 90
miles to St. Louis, Is rapidly progressing, In time for
the ucovement of the coming grain crops, which, it
la estimated, will doable the present Income of the
road.
The established character of this road, running as
It does through the heart of the most thickly-settled
and rlche it portion of the great State of Iowa, to
gether with ita present advanced condition and large
earnings, warrant us la unhesitatingly recommend
ing these bonds to Investors as, In every respect, an
undoubted security. A small quantity of the issue
only remains unsold, and when the enterprise la
completed, which will be this fall, an immediate ad
vance over subscription price may be looked for.
The bonds have fifty years to ran, 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 convertible"'.;
privilege attached to these bonds cannot fall to cause
them, at an early day, to command a market price
considerably above par. U. S. Five-twenties at pre
sent prices return only 4)4 per cent, currency lute-
rest, while these bonds pay per cent., and we
regard them to be as safe and folly equal as a security
to any Railroad Bond Issued; and until they are
placed upon the New York Stock Exchange, the
rules of which require the road to be completed, we
obligate ourselves to rebuy at any time any of these
bonds sold by us after this date at the same price as
realized by us on their sale.
All marketable securities taken In payment free of
commission and express charges.
