REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS.
"nesperia" is the title of a long and
elaborate poetical composition by Cora L. V.
Tappan, whioh has been submitted to out
critical judgment. It is dedicated to "the
futnre repablio," and from a prose introduc
tion we gain an idea of the purport of the
composition, whioh, without some such aid,
would be rather incomprehensible to the or
dinary understanding. As it is, many por
tions of the poem are obsoare, and the exact
im of the writer is hard to discover without
more labor than the merits of the work ap
pear to demand. Not that it is without merit,
for there are numerous passages of much
beauty which indicate real poetioal power,
which, under proper Influences, might pro
duce excellent results. "IleRperia" is a sort
of epical allegory, in whioh the struggles of
American republican freedom are set forth, but
allegory is not the author's forte, although
she is doubtless strongly impressed with a
contrary opinion. Mrs. Cora L. V. Tappan,
nee Hatch, had some celebrity some years
ago as a spiritual medium, and she is now An
ardent admirer of "Walt Whitman, the "bard
of nature," as she calls him, and these facts
are sufficient to account for many of the
eccentricities of the work before us. It would
be a delightful thing if Mr. Whitman or any
of his admirers and disciples could give a
clear and explicit definition of the word
"nature" as they understand it, but until
their ideas on the subject are made plainer
to the unelect than they are at present, we
can scarcely accept the following, whioh is
kept up for a number of pages, as either na
ture or art poetry it certainly is not:
The plumes of the lofty pine trees ;
How they wave:
Trie leafy forest feathers ;
How they wave :
The bending birchen branches;
Uow they wave:
The banners of the beeches ;
How they wave:
The crimson mottled maples ;
Uow they ware ;
The hemlock and the cedar ;
llow they wave:
The grasses on the meadows;
How they wave :
The golden-crested corn-fields:
How they wave ;
The wings of the wild songsters;
Bow they wave:
The pinions of the eagles;
How they wave!
The introduction of a meaningless refrain
is not singular to .Mrs. Tappan, nor yet to
Walt Whitman; but it is not to be com
mended, no matter who does it. Such verse
as the following is, to say the least of it, tire
some when there is much of it:
Vain, vain the lnstrnments,
And all the songs of time,
O chorus invisible,
Orchestras all unseen ;
O harp with golden strings,
Hung on all places high ;
O pipings of sweet Fan;
Apollo's charmed lyre ;
O mighty minstrelsies;
O vocal vibrations ;
O voiceless harmonies S
Oratorios grand ;
O sacred symphonies ;
(The anthems of the sea still sound exultlngly.)
And so "the anthems of the sea" sound at
the end of a dozen stanzas without having
any connection with the subject under dis
cussion that we are able to divine.
Some passages in "Hesperia" have much
beauty, especially when the poet forgets that
she is writing allegory and invests her cha
racters with a real human interest. As bits
of description and fine sentiment the open-'
ing scene, where "Ilesperia" finds a refuge in
the wilderness, and the subsequent one where
she is reunited to her husband, have very
great merit. Mrs. Tappan's natural tastes
evidently incline to paastoral and domestio
themes, and if it is necessary for her to be a
disciple, Jean Ingelow would be a better
guide for her than Walt Whitman. For sale

"Beauty is Power," published by.G. W.
Carleton & Co., is a collection of lively essays,
which, in a pleasant readable sort of way, treat
of "Proposing;" "Being Refused;" "Why Men
are Refused;" "Romantio Lovers;" "The Time
for Marrying;" "Long Engagements;" "Good
Matches;" "False Jewelry;" "Dressy Men;"
"Love of Display;" "Marrying Again," and
kindred topics. We cannot say that any
of these essays contain much positive informa
tion about the subjects they disouss, but they
make a number of useful hints in an agree
able way, and they are worthy of perusal for
mere entertainment sake. For sale by Porter

"The Union Bible Companion," by S.
Austin Allibone, published by the American
Sunday School Union, is a work that deserves
to be in the hands of all students of the Scrip
tures. It is particularly intended for the use
of Sunday-schools and Bible classes, and it
gives in a compact shape the evidences of the
Divine origin, preservation, credibility, and
inspiration of the Holy Scriptures; also an
account of the various manuscripts and En
glish translations and other valuable matter.
The work is made complete by an analytical
index.
"Motherless; or, a Parisian Family," trans

Verdict of $2300 Against the Chicago
Time.
The trial of the case of Mary Wallace vs. the
Chicago Time$ came to a close last evening,
and this morning a sealed verdict was returned,
awarding the plaintiff damages in 'he sum of
42500. Tha case was one of considerable im
portance, as showing the extent of the respon
sibility of newspaper proprietors for the publi
cation of matters gathered by their reporters
from the usual sources of information. Tub
alleged libellous publication was taken, the
defendants claim, In body or in substance, from
the book kept by the coroner for the informa
tion of the public, by a reporter of the Times.
A retraction was made, which Mrs. Wallace
acknowledged to be satisfactory to herself; but
the suit was commenced notwithstanding, and
the third trial has resulted in the above verdict.
It is understood that the case will be taken to
the Supreme Court. Chicago Post, 3W. intt.
1NS1SE ASYLUM BURNED.
Destruction of the Nebraska State limi
tation for the Im-Two of the In
matesBnrMecl to Death r,of,81T!J,000.
The Lincoln (Neb.) Statesman of the 17th
Instant has the following:
At about 3 o clocK this morning the alarm 01
ire was sounded through our streets. The canse
was boob ascertained to be the insane Asyium.
The origin of the fire was, without doubt, the
worfc 01 an incendiary, as It caugni exacuy i
the same prace as where it was once fired before
in the northwest corner of the wing, r;iM its
connection with the main building. J.aere was
no pesslblllty of any of the inmates having ac
cess to mat pari oi me uuuumg, cna me respon
sibility therefore rests upon soie fiendish devil
no human being coma possibly be so far lost
to all reason.
Immediately upon the alarm. Dr. Larsh. with
all the men employed about the building;, made
every effort within their power to extinguish
the names; but to no purpose.
When it was found Impossible to subdue the
flames, their next efforts were made to save the
patients. In the upper part of the portion oc
cupied by these unfortunates, two men who had
to be kept in rooms separate were confined.
The watchmen went ana released them, and
made every effort to get them out, but every
time tbey would return again. Finally, they
had to abandon them and go to the rescue of
others. The names of the two who perished
were Edward Holverson, sent here from Rich
ardson county, and Henry Keeler, from Dodge
county.
After the patients were safe they succeeded
in saving a very small portion of the parlor fur
niture and a considerable nnmber of blankets,
but what was saved will probably not exceed
12000.
The scenes were frightful in the extreme.
During the early stage of the fire one of the in
mates, who is very bad, seized a club and threat
ened to slaughter all the women and children
about the building. Others were lying upon
cots, unconscious, to all appearances, of the
awful calamity.
When we arrived on the ground but a small
portion of the walls had fallen in, but In less
than thirty mlnntes nearly the whole of the
main part of the building and also the wing
crumbled down like a pile of sand.
The loss to the State will not fall far short of
$175,000, the building having cost $145,000 and
tne iurnnure aoeut tsu.wu
AVhat will be done with the patients is a
question which will require consideration. No
doubt they will be provided for until the reas
sembling of the Legislature, when provision
should immediately be made for the erection of
anotner Duiiaiug.
Great credit is dne to the watchmen, nurses.
and all others engaged about the building, they
simply having escaped with their own clothing
and wrappers, so earnest were they ia their
endeavors to care for the unfortunates.
The building was Insured for upwards of
$90,000, divided among the Underwriters' and
the Lorillard, of New York, the Phoenix, of
urooKiyn, and Eeverai other companies.
DUG OUT OF HIS GKAYE.
A Ghastly Business The Corpse of on Old
Alan uescueu iroin me uoar-iuatcacrs.
The Louisville Courier-Journal of the 20th
inst. has the following:
Last night was dark and terrible. It was a
night suited to the business of the body
snatchers. Graves were not safe, and the holy
precincts of the burial ground were invaded,
and human bodies dragged ruthlessly from their
graves and ghastly shrouds.
A little after midnight, while sitting at the
door of his oflice on Centre and Green streets,
Lieutenant Doyle noticed a small spring wagon
coming siowiy ana careiuiiy in uentre street
At first it attracted little attention. When
within fifty yards of him it turned suddenly into
the dark alley that runs from Centre to Fifth.
and which is the rear entrance to' the Medical
College. Suspecting what was the matter, he
called one of his men and pursued it. Seeing
its danger, the horses were whipped up, and the
wagon uasuea up to ioo oacK aoor oi
the
college, when two men
jumped out, and,
reaching back into tho wagon, snatched a
gbastiv corpse by the iect and pulled it out
Falling with a heavy thud upon the ground, it
was being dragged, feet foremost, into the dark
entrance when the ollicers came up. The mys
terious men then dropped their booty and fled
within the door, closing and barriag it after
them, ihe wagon was driven away at ahead
long pace.
The officers were left alone with the corpse.
It was stark naked and staring. The limbs
were not even frigid and the blood hardly cold
It was that of an old man whose head was white,
ana who naa evidently seen mucn oi the trou
bles and terrors of this world, but hardly any
thing so terrible as this. Bis beard was full
and long, and his face was a noble and intelli
gent one, and bore an expression of peaceful
ness and calm hardly in keeping- with the in
human circumstance that had brought him back
again to the gaze of the world. His neck was
bruised and the skin torn, showing where the
rope had been fastened by which he was pulled
out of his coflln. The skin was torn from one
of his arms also, while the bruises over his body
showed that the work had been heartless and
Inhuman.
A shutter was procured, his body placed upon
it and taken to police headquarters, where an
inquest was held at & o clock: this morning.
THE JAPANESE JUGGLERS.
Arrest of the Founder of the Business.
The first Japanese acrobats and jugglers In this
country cave performances at the Academy of Huslo
under the management of Prof. Risley. Subse
quently other troupes arrived, and a combination
was effected by Professor Risley and Manager
McGulre of San Francisco, the troupes being joined
together. In August, 1807, Thomas F. Smith, who
had originally brought the Japanese from their na
tive country, and who had given bonds for their re
turn, appeared upon the scene, and caused a dis
turbance among the troupe, whioh ended by his being
arrested by Kihlev and McGulre. and nlaced la
the County Jail, taking the boy "All Right" with
him. "All Right" was subsequently taken from him
by Manager McGulre, and Kept with the troupe, all
or whom refused further performance until their
friend Smith was released. On the 7th of September
lunuwiug, an arrangement was eneciea oy wnicii
Smith again took possession of the troune. and pro
ceeded to exhibit them for the Joint bene at of him-
sen, itiniey, ana Mcuuire, ana ne was set at lib
erty. They have since been exhibited in various
parts of the world, and now a portion of them are
again exhibiting in this city, Smith acting as general
manager.
uiaiey ana Aicuuire, oy tueir attorney, Mr. Comp
ton, applied to Judge Brady, of the Supreme Court,
yesterday, for another order of arrest against Smith,
arising out of the Japanese transactions.
As a basis for the arrest they claim that in October,
186T, with intent to cheat and defraud McGulre.
Risley, and others Interested, Smith seized upon all
moneys accruing from the exhibitions and converted
the same to his own use ; that he removed the troupe
and all Its properties and the moneys out of the
United States to Cuba and other places without their
consent and without paying the moneys then due;
that he deposed Marshall from his office as receiver
and agent, and took the entire management and
proceeds to himself. Upon this statement Judge
Brady granted an order of arrest, holding Smith to
bail in tio.ooo.
Smith is an Englishman by birth, but for years has
led a roving life, travelling from one part of the
world to another. lie speaks Japanese like a native.
