LITERATURE.
HE VIEW OF NEW BOOKS.
J. S. Osgood A Co. has just issued in a
neat volume 'Tike County Ballads, and Other
Pieces," by John Hay, and separately with
illustrations by Sol Eytinge, 'Jim Blndso,"
and "Little 4 Breeches," a couple of pieces
which have gone the rounds of the news
papers, and which have obtained considerable
favor with a large portion of the public
These two pieoea are the best of Colonel
Hay's dialect poems, "Banty Tim" and "The
Mystery of Gilgal" being decidedly inferior
to them in every particular. Colonel Hay.
has been accused of being an imitator of Mr.
Bret Ilarte, but the accusation is not neces
sarily a reproach. Mr. Harte has shown how
distinctively American subjects can be treated
in an attractive style, and their latent poetry
be developed, and any really able attempts in
the same direction are deserving of encour
agement. American poetry and fiction,
if they are to be anything but weak reflec
tions of European performances, must smell of
the soil. The soil cultivated by Messrs. Harte
and Hay is, however, particularly rank and un
wholesome, and the difference between the
two writers is that the former knows how to
extract purity from impurity, and that the
latter does not. Mr. Ilarte can treat a coarse
subject in a refined manner, but in Colonel
Hay's bebt efforts the coarseness is so promi
nent that it repels readers who are at all fas
tidious. The ballad of "Jim Bludso," for
in8tance,poBsesses extraordinary merits, and it
more than deserves the favorable comparison
made between it and Browning's "Herve
lliel" by one of the London weekly reviews.
As a work of art it is entitled to take a higher
rank than Browning's poem, but neither
Browning, plain spoken as he is at times,
Kor Bret Harte would have treated the same
subject as offensively as Hay has done. This
poem and the other Pike county ballads
should not be condemned entirely on aooount
of their coarseness, but it is the duty of their
critics to protest against their defects in this
respect, and to urge the author to put a
proper restraint upon himself. Colonel Hay's
dialect pieces, meritorious as they are, do not
possess the peculiar charm that makes those
of Mr. Harte so attractive, but his poems
proper have a more genuine ring to them
than those of the last-named writer. Those
which are published in the volume before us
nnder the titles of "Wanderlieder" and "New
and Old' are above the average of reasonably
good newspaper and magazine poems, which
cannot be said of those of Mr. Harte.
J. S. Osgood & Co. have also just published
the "Condensed Novels" of Bret Ilarte, with
illustrations by Sol Eytinge. In these capi
tal burlesques the fine humor of Mr. Harte
is displayed to signal advantage. He hits off
most amusingly the characteristics of Charles
Reade, Disrcali, Charles Lever, Dumas, Bul
wer, Dickens, Marryat, Wilkie Collins, Victor
Hugo, and other well-known modern writers,
and these "Condensed Novels" will be hugely
enjoyed by all who are familiar with the sub
jects burlesqued. Where all are so good, it
is difficult to piok out any as being the best,
but "Handsome is as Handsome Does," by
Ch s B de; "The Ninety-five Guardsmen,"
by Al x d r D m s; "The Dweller of
the Threshold," by Sir Ed d L tt n
B lw r; and "The nannted Man," by
Ch r s D ck ns, take our fancy particu
larly. The above-named works are for sale in this
city by Claxton, Bemsen & Haffelfinger.
"An Old Fashioned Boy," by Martha Far
quharson, published by Evans, Stoddart &
Co., follows in the footsteps of Miss Aloott'a
"Old Fashioned Girl," and the author's idea
has been to set np before the boy of the
period a model worthy of imitation. The
book ia entertaining, and the hero, "Fred
Landon," will find many friends among boys
of the right sort.
"Xenophen" is the eighth volume of the
capital series of critical, descriptive, and ex
planatory treatises in course of publication by
J. B. Lippinoott & Co. "fender the title of
"Ancient Classics for English Readers." This
volume is by Sir Alexander Grant Burt, LL.D.,
Principal of the.University of Edinburgh, and
it will give those who wish to know some
thing of the famous historian of the retreat
of the ten thousand Greeks an excellent
idea of the story told by Xenophon, of his
style, and of his philosophical opinions. This
and the other issues of the series deserve to
be in every library, and they will be found
useful by classical soholars as well as by those
who .have neither time nor opportunity to
study the classics for themselves.
"Beechcroft" is the last issue of the uni
form edition of Miss Yonge's novels now in
course of publication by D. Appleton & Go.
It is a pleasant story, and, like all the writings
of the author, it has a moral aim which will
commend it to the favorable notice of parents
and others who are fastidious about the
quality of the literary food supplied to young
people nnder their care. For sale by Porter
& Coates.
T. B. Peterson & Brothers have just
published a cheap edition of "Basil; or, The
Crossed Path," an entertaining novel from the
pen of Wilkie Collins.
"The Village &mool Choir," published
by J. P. Skelly & Co., It, a pretty little reli
gious story, translated from the Germau by
Anna B. Cooke.
John r-niDgton & Son have issued a
pamphlet containing aualysos w& descrip
tions of celebrated uinnical works, by Albert
G. Eir-erick. With one or U'o exceptions

SECRETS UXEARTIIED BY THE COM
MPNE. A Terrible French Convent Three Idiot
TVnna Confined In Loathsome Cages A
Mysterious Great Vault Not Discovered
Provisions In Abnndnnx- The N'nni
Begging Irom the Starving Parli Poor.
Pari Correspondence of the London Time.
The reigning scandal of the day is the affair
of the Convent of Picpns. So highly roused
has pnblio indignation been by the supposed
discovery of atrocities committed within those
jealous walls that the people have been ex
cluded until the investigations of justice shall
be complete. I managed, however, to pene
trate within the precincts by attaching myself
to the cortege of an Eoglish friend, who was
journeying thither under special official
order?, to inveatigate the cane . of an Eng
lish sister named Garret. In the Hue do
Ticpus, near Mazas Prison, stand two
large buildings, each surrounded by high
walls, above which may be seen green trees
at intervals. The one is an establishment of
the Jesuits, the other the convent of the
White Nuns. The Jesuit Brothers escaped
at the first sign of approaching danger, but
the sisters held their own until forced into
cabs and conveyed to the cells of St. Lazare,
there to await the results of a judicial inquiry
into certain matters that are deemed suspi
cious. Arrived at the gate of the convent,
we were obliged to force our way through a
crowd of BDgry people who demanded an in
stant permission to enter, and who were as
persistently swept back by a group of Na
tional Guards we, however, being admitted
inside the door under cover of the official pass
and signatures. In the courtyard, under the
shade of some fine trees, a few guards were
I'LAYING BOWLS IN THE JESUITS' ALLEY,
and making up to one of them whose cap dis
played tokens of authority, we mentioned our
business, and begged permission to see what
was to be seen. Our friend was very civil,
accepted a cigar, and marched ns off to go the
rounds. He pointed out to ns the fact, of
which there certainly could exist no kind of
doubt, that the two buildings communicated
one with the other by means of an old door
which still exists at the back of a stable, as
well as by ether apertures in the garden wall,
which show signs of having been recently
closed up. The Jesuits' garden is a most
beautiful one, occupying a space of some
twelve acres, laid out with care, and furnished
with fruit trees of every description, pruned
and trained after the latest horticultural de
signs. There are
WONDROCSLY INGENIOUS TLANS,
too, fof irrigating the beds; forcing pits and
hot-houses, and long alleys with vines trained
ever them. Through the- old door above
mentioned we passed into the Sisters' garden,
equally large and beautiful, though not kept
with the same care. In the centre stands a
gymnasium, 1 fuppose for the use of the
children brougkt up under the sisters' care,
and further on their cemetery, a lovely spot,
where, nnder the heavy shade of ancient
cypresses, lie bearers of some the most ancient
names in .trance "Prince of balm-Jvyrbonrg
immolated under the Terror, aged 4'.):
rency, "the great Liatayette, the whole
family cf the Talleyrand-Perigords, and
legions of princes and princesses. Some of
the vaults have been opened, and many lead
coffins, half -covered with
EOTTINO VELVET AND OOLD LACE,
ie exposed to the light of day, awaiting an
examination at the hands of the Minister of
Justice. At the extreme end of the garden.
however, are the three little conical huts,
side by side, resembling whii onto' nents,
which have been the cause of so much ex
citement and judicial inquiry. When the
convent was occupied by the National Guards
these little huts were tenanted each by an old
woman, enclosed in a wooden cage, like a
chickens' pen, the three buildings being simi
lar in size and construction, six feet square by
seven in height, with a slate roof, through
which daylight was visible, while the three
old women were
ALL HOPELESS IDIOTS.
The Lady Superior has kept her lips reso
lutely closed np to the present time, but ad
mitted, when first questioned, .that the three
sufferers bad lived in their hideous prison
for nine years, in an atmosphere of stifling
heat throughout the summer, and half-frozen
with cold throughout the winter; "but, bhe
added, "they were idiots when they came."
The conductor of the inquiry replied that, if
such were the case, it was illegal to have ad
mitted them to the convent at all, and that
even supposing them to have been admitted,
the place where they were found was not a nt
dwelling place for a dog. a Key was dis
covered among Jher papers, labelled "key of
. T 1 1 . ' ' 4- x,1a.a fkju rwaa ifanlt
liic grenb vault, uuu nucig iuia gioav thiv
may be has not yet been found out. The
Superior and her nuns keep a uniform and
Eersistent silence upon the point; excavations
ave been made at different points in the
garden, and under the high altar of the
chapel, but hitherto without effect. At one
end of the nuns' garden stands an isolated
building, in which were found mattresses
furnished with straps and buckles, also two
IKON COESET8, SKULL-CAP, AND A RACK
turned by a cog-wheel, evidently intended for
bending back the body with force. The Supe
rior explained that these were orthopedio
instruments a superhcial falsehood. Die
mattresses and straps struck me as bein
easily accounted for; 1 have seen anon tilings
nsed in French midwifery and in cases oi
violent delirium; but the rack and its adjuncts
are justly objects of grave suspicion, for they
imply a use of brutal force which no disease
at present known would justify. On our way
back through the gardens our guide mado a
detour in order to show us a
GREAT SUBTERRANEAN WAREHOUSE,
where an enormous quantity of potatoes was
stored, as well as barrels full of salt pork,
while in the yard hard by lay grunting a fat
pig. "Look at this: cried our National
Guard indignantly. "Look at these stores.
which might have helped to feed the starving
Door of the arrondissement during our six
months' siege, and think that these people
were begging from door to door the whole
time for money to buy broken victuals for
their pensioners!" Arrived at the entrance
eate. our guide nudged me, telling me in
whispers to look at the old woman who wai
wandeiine about, toiiowea iy a younger oa,
stooping from time to time to pick up a leaf
or rub her hands with sand and gravel. "That
is Saur Bernardine," he said, "one of the
three misoners of the wooden cages. She U
the most sane in mind of the thtee, and we
keep her here under the care of one of our
wivt9 to cheer her up.
ONLY .10, SHE LOOSS 70.
"The other two fcav been removed, ast'iey
were rendered violent by the crowd an
rtiirsp of scene." I passed close to her and
she luokd np a soft, pale fa?o, with sunken
eea shaded by the frills of a great cap. She
looked at me dazedly, without taking any
notice, and stooping again, filled her hands
with refuse coffee grounds, which she put
into her mouth until prevented by her com
panion. Without showing the least prejudice
in ine matter, 1 mink l can safely say that
the ladies now shut np at bt. Lazare will find
it no easy matter to clear themselves of
blame; for, though there are doubtless many
suspicious circumstances that may be ex
plained away, there are also hard facts which
will remain hard faots in spite of the most
elaborate attempts at refutation.

This machine is entirely different irom the old
stjle Beer Pump. It perrorma Its own work, and
rt quires no labor. Tha liquors are forced op from
the cellar to the bar-room by means of a pressure of
air made by force of water, aud can be drawn lust
as clear as directly from the barrel.
AUiong the mauy advantages claimed for this
niaclilne are. that the beer or ale never becomes
Hat, tDd can be drawn as cold as Ice water with very
trail expense of ice.
The Apparatus can always be seen at my place la
