THE DAILY E V EN 1NG i TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1871. LITERATURE. REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS. From J. B. Lippinoott & Go. we have re ceive. Toems," by Lucy Hamilton IIt pir, a oollf ction of original and translated .oce 'which have many positive merits. Mrs. Hooper is a graceful and elegant versifier, and the pieces in the volume be'ora n o n ill ' perused with pleasure by cultivated readmit. T'.t y ii licate, however, poetical appreciation and culture rather than poetical genius in the author, who, like runny another climber of rarnassu, has not feeen able to win the best favors of Apollo. Mrs. Hooper's translations from the German and French are uniformly well done, and some of them are exceedingly felicitous. A fine steel-plate portrait of the author appro priately fronts the title-page and adds to the attractions of her book. J. B. Lippincolt & Co., also send us the March numbers of The Sunday Magazine, ood Words, and Good Words for Vie Young, all of which are handsomely illustrated, and are filled with stories, sketches, and poems for old and young, from the pens of some of the best English writers of the day. Porter k Coates send ua "From Four teen to Fourscore," by Mrs. S. W. Jewell, published by nurd k Ilonphton, and "Out of the Foam," by John Eaten Cooke, published by Carleton. "From Fourteen to Foursoore" professes to be an autobiography, and it is rather a record of events and reminisoences thn a connected story. The work is written in a quiet vein, and is characterized by strong religious feeling. It is not lacking in humor, however, and there are some excellent sketches of character and some fine bits of doscnption which will commend it to readers whose tastes incline not to ' the sensational. "Out of the Foam" ia the work of a writer of talent, who writes too rapidly for the good of his reputation. The story ia constructed with considerable ingenuity, and is written in lively, animated style which maintains an unbroken thread of interest. It is impos sible, however, to read any of the novels of Mr. Cooke without thinking that they might have been much better than they are if the au thor had avoided the mock heroics and placed his undoubted abilities rather more under discipline. As it is, his novels lack finish, and their crudities repel readers of culture, npon whose approval alone can a writer build a permanent reputation. "Checkniate,"which we have received from Evans, Stoddart k Co., is a new novel by J. 8. Le Fanu, which has been published in ad vance of its appearance in Europe by a special arrangement with the author. Le Fanu is one of the most talented novel writers of the day, and "Checkmate" is an intensely inte resting story, which few readers will care to lay down until it is finished. The plot is very ingenious, and the leading characters are sketched in a masterly manner, while the de nouement is exceedingly efiective. From Clax'on, Remsen k Haffelfinger we have received "The Earle'sDeane," bylt. E. Fruncillon, an elaborate and entertaining novel of England and French life whioh has just been issued from the press of Harper it Brothers. From W. S. Gray we have received the following recent publications of the American Tract Society: "Short Sermons for the People," by Eev. William S. Plumer, D. D., contains thirty five short, practioal discourses whioh appeal directly to the soul and conscience of the reader, and which can scarcely fail to effect much good. "Life at Threescore and Ten," by Eev. Albert Barnes, is a revision made by the author of the discourse delivered in the First Presbyterian Churoh in this oity on De cember 8, 18C8. It was originally published at the request of bis friends, and this revised edition was prepared expressly for the Ameri can Tract Society, which undertook to give it a more extensive circulation. "The New Life" contains religious counsel for inquirers and converts, and gives explana tions of the practical precepts of religion and encouragement to those who hesitate and doubt. T. B. Peterson k Brothers send us "The Queen's Revenge" and a variety of other entertaining short stories and sketches by Wilkie Collins, and "Western Scenes; or, Life on the Prairie," by John S. Robb ("Solitaire"), a collection of humorous sketches descriptive of life in the wild West. llu rhilade7p7da Pltotographer for March contains a variety of interesting information for the members of the photographic- profes sion. Ashley, the Jibbenainoay of the Montana Mountains, is lecturing In Vermont. Five members of the new House of Rcpre eentatives are colored men. The East Boston ferries are to be free of tolls after the let of May. Pittsburg, Pa., got 196,976 by its water tax last year, and thinks it did better than any other city 01 its size in the country. . Philadelphia contains more houses than New York, Brooklyn, and Jersey City com bined. The production of rubber boota and shoes la New England of late has been about 25.0CK) pairs per day. The i i Cleveland tunnel now extends into the lake three thousand feet, and reaches nearly ii ail wmv iu lue cnu. Lent began this year on Washington's birth day, and win ena on tne anniversary of Lew a surrender. Ihe harbor of 8t. Joseph is pronounced, in a report to the United States engineers, to be tbe finest on Lake Michigan. A fine of ft 10 Is imposed upon parties whn unsuccessfully hang themselves in front of other people s nouses, in New Orleans. A Story comes from Connecticut that a man. whose son, being under aire, married airaliist his Will, took offense thereataad got himself ap pointed guardian over him. Then, under a law which permits a guardian to sell the property of a minor to an amount not exceeding $300, with out advertising it, he obtained permission of a Judge of probate to sell his son s half interest worth 120,000, in his grandfather's estate, aud without the boy's knowledge, did sell it to a Sheriff for the paltry sum of 8)275, and by hint it was transferred to the son's mother at the same price. And now tbe boy, thus defrauded of Ms inheritance, proposes to sea If the Court- A FINANCIAL CRISIS IN TURKEY. The holders of Turkish bonds are so aoous tomed to bear gloomy prophecies reapectiug their investments that they probably will not be much affected by the observations of the Levant Jleruld, which would seetn to show that the Porte is fast drifting into the gravest financial crisis it has expoiienced since the Crin.ean war. TLe wholo of the January coupons will bo paid, but it will be under presfturo of such diilioulty as no previous liquidation has over entailed on the Treasury. During the Inst six or eight jears, including the conversion of the ouMolides.'iJ 1 20,000, 00) has been uddtd to the debt of the country, scarcely a shilling of which has been spent on reproductive public works. Taxation has been stretched to its outside limits the capital alone being now left for a further turn of the fiscnl screw yet the annual excess of expenditure ovor revenue has gone' on in creasing till the deficit of tbe present year will, it is said, fall little short of .2".,0()O,0ti0. A portion of this laro sum muet no doubt be debited to the extra military preparations necessitated by the ro cent move of Rusnia, nnd to the Yemen ex pedition: but the balance is still xuuoh iu cx cePB of tbo deficit of any recent years, and can only be explained by tho wasteful ex penditure which now Neeiiis to have beeotie a fixed law of Turkish administration. Since 18.-.4 a total of nearly $500,000,000 of public debt has been incurred; of this it Is true about $00, 000, 000, has been baid off, but the balance still entails nn annual charge of nearly $35,000,000, or little short of one half of the whole net revenue of the country. There remain, however, vast material re sources not only unpledged, but which are as yet fiscally untouched, and which if utilized would go far to relieve tho Turkish Treasury once for all from its embarrassments, and spare it the necessity of resorting to further loans. The resources in question are the almost limitless mineral wealth of the coun try, and the vast forests which abound within easy reach of the sea in both halves of the empire. At the very doors of the capital the coal-mines of lleraclea might be either leased or sold for a lump sum which would tell sensibly on the year's budget, while the deposits of silver, copper, and other metals which also abound in both the European and Asiatic provinces might bo simi larly turned into gold. There are also the splendid tracts of forest fringing the coast on the banks of a score of rivers which offer easy moans of transport to the 6ea, in plenty enough to feed a ho3t of new native industries and supply half the Western timber markets besides. Add to all this store of wealth what might be further realized by tne sale of crown lauds, and the roughest estimate of the whole will, in the opinion of the Levant Herald, show that the Porte is very far indeed from lusolvency; that it has, on tbe contrary, a reserve capital which needs only to be made available to render the Turkish Treasury one of tho easiest in Europe. On the other hand, it must be remembered that a natioa whioh borrows money has many advantages over one that "utilizes its resources." In the present temper of the civilized world a repu tation for poverty is to a certain extent a safeguard against the cupidity of Christian neighbors. Debts may as a last resource be repudiated, but resources admit of no repu diation. In time of trouble a nation's re sources, like its sins, are sure to find it out, and therefore any nation nowadays that has tbe good fortune to possess resources may act wisely by keeping them carefully in the background even at the cost of raising loans at an exorbitant rate of interest. The railroad companies promise to brlnir peaches from Delaware to Jersey City during the next season at a considerable reduction from last year's rates.
