'IIIEW pIItLICATIONS.
"The Daily School in the United
•
States," recently published - by J. B. Lip
pincott do a Most interesting work,
and even - a cursory examination of it -satis
ges us that . it id not - of ephemeral interest.,
Theatibjaat itself is among the most iinpor
tant that can ask the attention of an Ameri-
Can citizen. ~ F or an uneducated people, our
form of civil government would be no pro
tection; or rather it could not exist. We are
accustomed to think' of our sYtem of public
instruction (at least in the-older States) as
well arranged and well administered, and
we listen with incredulity to any doubts of,
their efficiency.' The *cent 'discussions of
the subject in our City -Councils have ex
cited public attention, and we 'shall. be 'kr;
prised if the work before us ;does not at
tract: it in a muck wider and ,= deepei
,
' Cannot; in to
the brief space we have
spare, do more than commend the workto
ttiOnghtful - men and women,ai well'worthy
to be read and pondered. .It presents a
synopsis of the existing educational laws of
the flyer States- r Ohio, Pennsylvania, New
York and - lilassachusetts—to • which the
author's inquirieS are restricted, 'which is
followed by an exhibit of the actual condi
tion of the public schools,drawnfrem official
reports. As the design of the work is to
awaken the public mind to the true eondi
tion of these "roadside , schools," and dispel
the illusion, as he regards it, that they are
doing the work expected of them, the anther
has doubtless . presented the shady side of the
case. Probably a person whose convictions
were favorable to things as they are, could
draw from the same sources a much brighter
view. But whatever allowance may be
made on this score, enough remains to show
the utter inadequacy of the present mode of
educating the people.
There is a purposed omission of city and
borough schools, as they are generally sub
ject to special legislation. The author's
views of the value of High and Normal
Schools will doubtlei3s be repudiated by
many of our most reputable educators as
entirely unsound. We do not understand
him to call in question the importance or
efficiency of such institutions for their legit
mate purpose. Schoola for the training of
teachers, and for the acquisition of ad
vanced degrees of knowledge in the arts
and sciences, he would, we presume, by all
means encourage: but the • former he would
have 'sustained like schools for other pro
fessions—naedical, theological, agricultural ,
and legal; and the latter like academies and
private schools, at the expense of those who
have the advantages of them.
If we. do not misapprehendthe drift of the
4:l3.gpmppt i , it is that the great-,werk of the
commonwealth in the department of public
education lies in the humble school housea
scattered up and down in our rural dis
tricts. Here should be concentrated what
of labor, money and interest can be spared
from the public revenue for this fonndation
work. •The most attractive accommoda
tions for teachers and pupils; the bestieaoh •
-
Eng skill that money will command in the
prescribed branches of elementary instruction,
and the most careful and judicious oversight
of the working of the system, are the•things
to be sought. If Normal and High Schools
can be shown to be indispensable or essen
tially important to this end,the author (if we
understand him) would heartily go in for
them. He evidently regards his work as
showing that they have no such importance,
but on the contrary that they absorb an
undue degree of public sympathy and divert
attention from the common schools.
It will naturally occur to the reader ofthis
work to inquire, what remedy does the
author propose? How would he go about
to ,improve the existing order of thingsr
tut he does not regard this as his pro
vince. He points outthe disease and leaves
to others the selection and application of a
remedy. The received axiom is that uni
versal education can alone make a free
government safe or even practicable..
Self - governed, people must be educated
people. We have millions of people
of foreign birth or extraction that have not
been educated. As our nation grows in
population and wealth it grows also in
luxury, vice and insubordination. The
power to restrain evil men or practices, and
to encourage what is pure and good resides
in the bulk of the people. Theleaven that
sooner or later-leavens the lump is infused
at the hearthstone and in the, schoolhouse.
Those who read the work before us will
have their faith shaken in the efficiency, of
the present • process, however widely they,
may differ from the, writer in some of his
conclusions. We an safely indorse the
judgment of the Princeton Review, that "the
amount of information and wise suggestions
contained in the volume should commend it
to the serious attention of the friends' of
education." The author is evidently a man
who is accustomed to reflect carefully and
to call things:by their right names, without
fear or :favor. His conclusions will he '
challenged by myriads of school directors,
teachers and book-makers; but the facts and
figures which he presents will not be very
readily overcome. Every fair discussion of
this hnnortant topic will bring us nearer to
the trith, and those who are most interested
in the great question of eur national educa
tion will do well to ponder the sensible and
practical - viewe :laid. down in "The Daily
Public School in the United. States." i•
Of "Sans Morel," •by the 'author of Guy,
Livingston, we have only to say that we
hope, for the credit of human nature, the
writer hai3 not drawn I:ds characters from
actual eTfterience or observation. With
one or two eceptionei the men are
all avowed roues, and,the ~women
almost equally bad. They have not teien
wit or cleverness, unless an unlimited cape

"In Trust; or; Dr. Bertram's Household,' ,
.published by Lee dc Shepard, of Boaton, is 'a
pleasant story, of domestic life, portraying
several different phases of character, and
Containing some well -expressed , thoughts.
Its principal defects are found in the crowd-'
ing together of more persons than can be
satisfactorily 'disposed of within : the limits

the various love scenes, too close daserip
tiona of which are always offensive to godd
taste. These faults, however, will doubtless
be corrected shoild the authoress write an
other story. We imagine this is her lint
essay at book-making. For sale by G. W
Pitcher.
"Hidden Depth's" is, we believe, a reprint ,
of an . English novel, just published by J. B.
Lippincott it Co. It is written carefully,
earnestly and sensibly, dealing with a most
difficult subject, the duty of society at large,
and woman in particular, towards her
erring and fallen sisters. It lifts the veil
from the "Hidden Depths" of social de
pravity, and yet does it with so mucis sober,
Christian tenderness, that no one is shocked
by any trace of coarseness or levity in the
writer's mind, or in the thread of the story
itself. The book is fall of pure and noble
thoughts, and its influence, wherever it is
allowed to exercise itself at all, can only be
for good.
"Lost but Found," is a well-written tale
of a Jewish family converted to Christianity,
through the agency of a little boy. There
is nothing exceptionable in the story, which
is very cleverly told, and we should think
it would be a welcome addition to the Sun
day-school library. It is published by
Graves Lt Young, Boston. For gale by
James S. Claxton.
MUSICAL.
TICE CHORAL FEST/VAL given New
- York on Tuesday and Thursday last, was
amovelty worthy of . notice. The perform
ances were given at Irving Hall, by a chorus
of one hundred male voices, of whom about
sixty were boys, the remainder being di
vided between - a capital ' combination of
tenors and basses. Dr. Cutler, formeily
the director of the music of Trinity Church,
has for a long time devoted himself to the
training:of boys in vocal sacred music, and
r.
the just given. by him attests hie
remarkable ability Intl& branch of musical
education. We had the pleasure of attend
ing the performance on Thursday evening
and have rarely enjoyed a greater musical
treat. The first part of the programme con
sisted of a lecture by Dr. Cutler, on the
English Cathedrals, interspersed with
illustrations by -his magnificent chorus.
The fresh reedy voices of the sopranos and
altos, with the remarkably effective back
ground of tenors and basses, produced the
standard, classical compositions of Handel,
Tallis, Boyce,Mendelssehn and other writers
with most thrilling effect. The ease and
precision with which the little fellowa mas
tered the most difficult intervals and the
plUckiness with which they attacked their
occasional extremely high notes, was
worthy of the enthusiastic applause
which greeted them continually. As an illus
tration of this we may mention the Chorus
from Handel's "Samson," in which A
was taken by the sopranos with astonishing
clearness and correctness, and the "Hear
ye, Israel," from "Elijah," in which Master
'Toedt, a . mite of a boy, apparently not over
ten or eleven years, gave the whole difficult
solo with its ringing B fiat, nears the con
elusion, with a purity and energy that
broughtdown a round of applause - and sent
the young songster off the stage half buried
in superb n bonquets and baskets of flowers.
The second , part of the programme con
sisted of selections from "Elijah," includ
ing "Cast thy burdeni" the "Angel Trio,"
"Open the Mavens," "Then hear from Hea
ven," and that grandest of grand chorusses,
"Thanks be to God." The intervening reci
tatives were admirably given by Mr. L. P.
Thatcher, tenor; Mr. Geo. E. Aiken, bass'
and . Master Rceburn,` soprano. The final
chorus, "Thanks be to God," which closed
the entertainment,was most superbly giv6n,
and only lacked the orchestral effects to
place it fully on the lever of the recent per
formance of the same music by our Handel
and Haydn Society, ' The thrilling effect of
the hundred male voices was quite equal to
that produced by double that number of
mixed voices, as given by our Philadelphia
Society. •
In addition to the vocal attractions of the
evening, Mr. George W. Morgan, the cele
brated organist of ..Grace Church, gave a
grand fugue by Handel, which was beauti
fully played, and received with an enthusi
asm ,which showed the great popularity
of the performer. As an encore he played
some original variations on '.Goa save the
Queen," which.gave him the' opportunity to
display some wonderful execution with the
pedals, but.which disappointed, us as a com
position: In, addition `to the organ, the
"Elijah" accompanithents were 'given by
Messrs Gilder 'and Johnston ' on tviofiitein
way (bands,' which ,greatly added to the
effect, and in a measure supplied the want of
an orchestra. • ' -
The whole Choral Festival was a brilliant
success; and reflected great credit npon Dr.
Cutler and ' splendid' chorus.. - We wish
it were possible , to have it repkoduced in
Philadelphia. 'The effect of such entertain
ments upon , our church, music senerally
would be most salutary,•and would , go'far
tnenlightelintir , o4oira and congregations,

Aidarxrm OPE - EA.—Mi. Pere and his
company of ;amateur singers - performed
Donizetti's opera of, La Favorita at Concert
Hall on Saturday evening, before, a very
large and elegant audience. The opera was
considerably cut, the female chorus was
wanting,there and were several airs intro
duced, by other compbsers; bit the perform-,
once gave much pleasure.. Mrs.'Davis was
apparently suffering from hoarseness, but
her singing Was in general'excellent; and her
acting of the part of "Leonora" was, remark
ably &miter an amateur and a novice on the
stage. Mr. Perelli *Olt warmly greeted on
his appearance, and throughout the per
formance he was repeatedly applauded, his
"Spirt° gentil," which he sang-With great
tenderness and delicacy, beingencored. Mr.
Angler, as "Alfonso," was. very fine; his
fresh, clear, resonant barytone voice, his ad
mirable method, and the grace and intelli
gence of his acting, being alb that a. profes
sional artiatcould desire for himself. He also
was repeatedly applauded. Miss Poole, as
"Inez," deserves commendation. Mr. Taylor
was excellent as "Baldassare," and Mr. En
gelke and the male chorus did very well.
The orchestra, led by Mr. Charles Schmitz,
did its part admirably. In the course of the
evening an elegant gold-mounted ivory ba
ton was presented to Mr. 'Perelli, by his pu.
pils of the Chegaray Institute. Thus has been
brought to a close a series of operatic perform_
antes by amateurs that have afforded great
pleasure to those 'attending, and done a great
deal to develop vocal and dramatic talent in
our community.
New Jersey Matters.
THE ConßTs.—The criminal business for

twenty to thirty thousand dollars is to be
devoted to the altering and improving of
the Court-house at Woodbury. A proposi

those at Woodbury. It is said the subject
will be submitted to the people at the next
election.

some years since. An effort was made on
the eve of the funeral in Mexico city of the
late Henry W. Allen, ex-Confederate Gov
ernor of Louisiana, to have the coffin borne
to the grave covered with a confederate flag;
but, owing to the firmness of the United
States Consul at the capital, this demon
stration was abandoned by the friends of
the deceased. Beverly Tacker, while on
his way to Mexico city, whither it is said
he has been despatched to act as correspon
dent for several English journals, had
been plundered by guerillas near Orizaba.
The Emperor will send commissioners
to represent Mexican interests in the
great Exposition to lbe held at Paris in
1867. The mortality of the city of Mexico
is reported to be very greatat present,owing
to the defective sewerage and accumulation
of filth within the city walls. An American
engineer had contracted to drain the valley
of Mexico. Another inundation was feared
—the waters of Lake Texcuco being within
a few inches only of the level of the capital.
Maximilian had sent a communication to
the Minister in charge of the civil list direct
ing certain important reductions to be made
in the expenses of his household, at the
same time voluntarily cutting down his per
sonal allowance to $600,000 per annum.
The Newland-Evans Finder Trial at New
Albany, Indiana.
No trial has for many years excited more
attention in the West than the recent one at
New Albany, Ind., of Dr. Newland for the
murder of Professor Evans. All the West
ern papers have contained detailed reports
for many days. The facts and circum
stances of the case are thus summed up by
the correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette:
The evidence has shown that two weeks
before the murder Dr. Newland received a
letter from the faculty at Terre Haute,
where his daughter then was, taking lessons
in painting, saying that her interests
demanded his immediate presence. He
went, and was shown an anonymous
letter involving doubts as to his daugh
ter's chastity. He expressed himself
relieved at the fact of the letter being
without signature, and said he believed it
was only an attempt to annoy him, made
by some enemy in Bedford. The faculty,
however, expressed doubts as to his daugh
ter's chastity, alleging that they had reason
to suspect that she was then enciente. To
this he replied that if it was so, he would
take her home and care for her. He then
went home, and two weeks afterwards sent
for her. She came, and made the confession
of her condition,and said Evans was the au
thor of her ruin. Immediately Dr. Newland
left his house, and, after seeking his friend,
Judge Carleton, and asking him what he
would do under similar circumstances (and
being counseled to resort to no violence),
he paced his room for awhileand:then seized
his amputatingknife, rushed out in search
of Evans,met him in avalley near hishouse,
shot him and then cut his throat, and at
once gave himself up and acknowledged
the act. There is no evidence showing
where or when he got his pistol. There is
no legal evidence before the jury that Evans
was t' e seducer of his daughter. Miss New
land did not testify directly to this point.
Her testimony was confined to what she
told her fatherjust before the murder; and
she was not asked on oath whether that
story was true. And if she had testified
openly that Evans was her seducer,the fact
would not have been legally established,
according to Indiana law,without the corro
boration of others.
The prosecuting attorney, in the closing
argument for the State, maintained that
there was an, accomplice. This was not
mentioned by the other counsel for the
State. The evidence on which it rests is so
very circumstantial that it is not regarded
as strengthening the case against Newland.
The defence relies almost wholly on the
plea of partial insanity, which is shown by
the testimony of witnesses who describe
his conduct and conversation after the
murder, and by the opinions of the medical
experts who were present to hear this' con
duct described by the witnesses. From
this recital they all declare it to be their
opinion that he was partially insane—a
homicidal maniac.
Dr. Newland was acquitted, and the Chi
cago Tiibune, in an article on "Murder as a
fine art," says the following points arise in
connection with this case:
1. If the parent of a child seduced has the
right to shoot the seducer, is he to be re
garded as insane because he correctly un
derstands his rights and maintains them?
2. If he was insane, does it make any dif
ference in his gtiilt whether he shot the
seducer of his child or a wholly innocent
person?
3. Would it not be well before justifying
the murderer on the ground of paroxysmal
insanity, to find out whether the seducer was
_not suffering from the same disease, and
consequently innocent of crime in the mat
ter of the seduction?
4. Would it not also be well to find out on
some better testimony than that of the girl
seduced, whether Professor Evans, or some
other party, was the seducer, inasmuch as
in most cases of the kind the "lady" usually
tells one or more lies? •
5. If Professor Evans's relatives should,
shoot Dr. Newland would not that act
ford l the same evidence' of paroxysmal
sanity as is afforded by Dr.. Newland ;in
shooting the Professor?
6. If Professor .Evans's father should

shoot Miss Newland for seducing his son,
would there not'be' precisely the same evi-
Oenee against her as' now exists' against
Professor Evans?
7. Does the shociting of one party to an.
alleged seduction, so that the story can only
be told by the survivor, establish the fact
that the deceased party was any more
guilty, or any less previously virtuous than.
the survivor?
8. Has not society some duty to perform
towards lunatics whose paroxysms take the
form of bowie knives and cold lead. '1
The Door for the New Capitol.
[From the Springfield (Masa.) Republican
The great Washington door for the new
Capitol at Washington is being finished at
the Ames Works in Chicopee, where two
entire years, have been spent upon it. Many
of the panels are already completed, and.the
work is progressing as , fast as its' peculiar
complexity will allow. Designed by the la
mented Crawford. just previous to his death,
it was his chef d'ceuvre. Had he survived,
undoubtedly the contract for casting would
have gone to Munich, like its predecessor,
the Coluthbus-historic door, such was his ..
prtjudica against his country in this respect..
The massive door has eight panels, four„ n
a side, emblematic respectively of peace and .
war. On the side devoted to peace, com
mencing
at the bottom, is a group of Wash
ington and his family, repreienting
the peaceful condition of the - country
'at the close of the revolutionary strug
gle. Next above is the ovation at Tren
ton—then a scenerepresenting the adminis
tration of the oath of office—and crowning
this section is the laying cf the corner-stone
of the Capitol building. The war side has
first a panel symbolizing the stern ideal of
deadly strife—a British Grenadier, fully
armed, attacking a peaceful farmer, near a
rude log cabin, whose sinewy arm has al,
ready sent him reeling to the ground, while
the stalwart yeoman's wife is seen handing
herhnsband his trusty firelock, in case he
should need it. Above this is the Bayonet
C3arge at Trenton—then Rebuke of
General Lee by Washington,at Monmouth
—and fi nally the Death of Gneral Warren.
The panel representing the reprimand of
General Lee is a most striking and life-like
scene. Washington had always, it seems,
suspected Lee ofAislovalty, and on this oc
casion found that he had not only failed.
utterly to carry out his express orders, but
bad actually ordered and commenced a most
cowardly retreat Washington is seen as
having ridden rapidly to where he meets
Lee under a tree, and rising in the stirrups
of his saddle, administers a rebuke that
droops the traitor's head as much as Lee's
military salute to his chieftain has his
sword. It issaid that this was the only in
stance in which Washington was ever
known to use language even bordering on.
profanity. The singular thing about this
particular panel is thlitt Jeff. Davis was one
of the Commissioners to examine Craw
ford's designs for this historic and conspicu
ous piece of work for the new capitol—the
wonder being that he, or any other South
ern man, should have consented to embla
zon this withering shame on one of the most
chivalric sons of the South. Yetso it ie---and
let the sympathizers with his fitting retire
sentative, in the person of Robert E. Lee,
remember the prophecy of the panel, and.
its historic verification to-day.
