HEW PUBLICATIONS. Harper & Brothers have recently pub, lished-“Personal Reoolleotlons of Distin guished Generals,” by Wm. -F. G. Shanks one of the war correspondents of the New York-HeHiM. After reading Mr, Shanks’s rather .shallow attempts at analyzing the prominent characteristics of the generals of whom he writes, we instinctively go back to the mysterious; assertion of his preface that “most men are pyramidal in shape only, not proportions,” and conclude that must mean that some men, himself among the number, are smallest at the top. There is a oertain clever antithetic liveliness in these reminiscences of Mr. Shanks, and 90- casionally a new anecdote. He devotes more time and space to Rousseau than to any of his other heroes, while he fairly puts uson a defence of Lee by the absurd extrava gance of his deprecation of his persona 1 qualities. Lee is described as “the least re solute of the rebellion,” “the weakest of the false cause,” “the most contemptible char acter” and “a weak and unsuccessful gene ral.” His passing criticism upon Genera 1 Meade will provoke a smile of contempt. After asserting that Sherman, Sheridan and Wilsoh were dead failures until Grant took hold of them, he coolly adds “and Meade’s greatest successes were obtained under Grant’s direction.” It is obvious tha Shanks never heard Of Gettysburg. The book is for sale by Peterson * Brothers. Jno, Penington & Son have just published a beautiful “Amateur’s edition” of “Father Tom and the Pope,” printed In small quarto, on fine paper with wide margin This- inimitable story has now enjoyed a celebrity of nearly thirty years standing, and has passed through innumerable edi tions. Messrs, Peningtons’ new edition is one of the prettiest yet printed, and as there is but a very limited number of copies of fered for sale,there will doubtless be a rapid demand by connoisseurs in choioe editions. Strangely "enough,the only erratum we have detected In the volume is the omission of the imprint of Messrs. Collins, to whose Bkill and taßte we are indebted for its ex tremely neat typography. We observe that the literary editor of the Press decides that “ ‘Father Tom’ was writ ten by the late J. Flßher Murray, of Dub lin, hut has often been erroneously fathered oh Dr. Maginn.” Other authorities are quite as positive in attributingit to William Maginn and to [Francis Mahoney. As one assertion, unless Supported by proof, is as good as another, it is not settled who was the author, and therefore the writer of the preface to Mr. Penin'gton’s edition of the story has not mentioned his name. The Presbyterian Publication Committee, "1334 Chestnut street, have just published a series of beautiful gift-books for children in five volumes, of uniform style, in a neat | case. They are called “Little Red Cloak,” “Miss Muff and Little Hungry,” “Jesus on Earth,” “Ram Krishna Punt,’> and “Hindoo Life.” These five volut es are equal in binding, typography, paper and illustrations, to any juvenile ever issued in this country, and reflect great credit on the various artisans concerned in their publica tion, Two of them, “Little Red Cloak” and “Jesus on Earth,” are by Miss H. B. Mo- Keever, the well-known authoress, and “Hindoo Life” is by Rev. Edward Webb, late of Madura, South India. “Miss Muff” fif by the author of 1 'Dollars and Cents,” and various other popular j uveniles. There will be few more tempting Christmas gifts for children than these very pretty volumes. Charles Scribner & Co., New York, have just published “The Constitutional Conven , -tion; Its History, Powers and Modes of Pro ceeding,” by Judge Jameson, of Chicago. Ttis difficult to give any-fair idea of the scope of this valuable work, within the limits of a brief notice. It covers, the whole subject of sovereignly, of constitution, and of all the State Conventions ever held in the United States. It discusses the whole or ganic law of government, and constitutes one of .those complete text-boeks which are so, necessary to the lawyer, the statesman and the student of political eoonomy and the science of government. The author is a writer of high eminence, and holds the double position of Judge of the Superior Court of Chicago, end Professor of Consti tutional Law in the Chicago University, The book is for se’e by J. B. Lipflmoott & Co. !. Smith, English & Co. have received from Strahan & 00., New York and London, two very interesting volumes of sermons. “Sim* pie Truths for Barnett Minds,” by Key. - Norman Maoleod, D. D., is a series of prac tical discourses, marked by all the direct riesSi simplicity and soundness of that 'dis tinguished and eloquent divine.' “Oharac teristies of Christ’s Teaching,” by Rev. 0. J, Vaughan,’ D. D,, Vicar’ of Doncaster; is another volume of sermons upon topics drawn,.from the Sermon on the Mount.' These sermons are written in an earnest, devout spirit, and in a very clear and forci ble Btyle, very refreshing in these days when so many theological writers are de voting their energies to “darkening counsel with words without knowledge,’ ’ Dr. Robert MoOlure, the. famous veteri nary surgeon, has just published a hand some volume on “Diseases in the American Stable, Field and Farm Yard.” The author has brought together in this work, the re sults of his long experience in the treatment o£ the numerous diseases to which domestic animals are subject, in such a form as to make them of great practical use to, the farmer and breeder,and also to the amateur owner of cattle. The almost endless cata logue of disepses.to which cattle, and espe cially horses, are subjeot, renders a treatise like this, by one who has becomes standard authority in his profession, of great value. It is handsomely printed, with numerous engravings, and ia for sale by the authori 807 Filbert street, Philadelphia. r; D. Appleton &00. have issued another juvenile that will be very popular with the young folks. It is called “Children of the Frontier,” a story written by Mrs, Glow, from eketchea and incidents furnished by a Danish artist at the Weßt, Theodore Lund, It purports to be the adventures of a family living on the frontier of JSfinnesota,jind the adventures with the Indians and the ex* citing scenes of all sorts and kinds, in which the children of the&mily bear the principal part, are told in the style which is so sure to rivet the attention of boys and girls everywhere.

Garrignes* Co,, South Four th street, are publishing a series of excellent juve niles of a religious character. [ One of their latest issues is “Agnes Wilbur; or, A Daughter’s Influence,” by Mrs. Trow bridge. The title of this little book is enough to indicate the purpose of the autho ress; in her Simply-told story she'conveys the ’most admirable lessons of filial affeotion and duty, and it can scarcely fail of exer cising a wholesome effect in every family Circle where it is read. ■ , ' “The Ravel Story Books” are three quite unique “juveniles,” particularly suitable for the holiday season, published by J. B. Lippincott* Co. 'they give the stories of tbe Ravel pantomimes of “Maritime,” > ‘Jocko” and “The White Knight,” in clever verse, each story having some well designed and highly colored illustrations, in Beverai of which there are ludicrous portraits of Gabriel, Francois; Antoine, . Jerome, and Others of the Ravel family. Parts IX and X of the English edition o f the Bible, illustrated by Gustave Dord, have [been sent to us by Mr. C. J. Price. Some of the illustrations are worthy to be com pared to the best in the Inferno. The letter press is also superior, and the work is but little inferior to the Frenoli original. The London and New York publishers, Messrs. Cassell,Potter * Galpiri, announce Milton’s “Paradise Lost”, and-Tennyson’s “Elaine,” illustrated by DorA Ashmead has just published “Chlnoapin Charlie,” by Nellie Eyster. This is the second; of the “Snnny Hour Stories,” and is a capital little hook. It is a story of the war, its scene ranging along the Cumber land Valley. One of the finest instances of personal heroism which occurred during the. war is woven into the story with thrilling effect, and several excellent adorn the book. M. W. Dodd, New York, has published a new work, by the author of the “ Sohon jaerg-Cotta Family,” entitled “The Dray tons and The Davenports.” It is a story of Cromwell’s days, and is marked by ail tbe strong characteristics of the former produc tions of the same authoress. It only needs, now, to announce a new book from her'pen to secure a rapid demand and an eager peru sal for it. For sale by J. B. Lippincott * Co. . ASIKBE JLEN 18. !

In a very short time I’became one of the best drivers on the Line. That was allowed. I took a pride in it, yon see, and liked it. No, I didn’t know much about the engine scien tifically, as yon call it; but I could put her to rights if anything went out of gear—that ia to say, if there was nothing broken—but I couldn’t have explained how the steam worked inside. Starting an engine is just like drawing a drop of gin. You turn a handle and off she goes, then yon turn the handle the other way, put on the brakes, and you stop her. There’s not. much .more in it, so far. Its no good being scientific aud knowing the principle of the engine inside; no good at all. Fitters, who know all the ins and outs of the engine, make the worst drivers. That’s well known. They know too much. It’s just as I have heard [ of a man with regard to his inside; if he knew what a complicated machine id is, he would never eat, or drink, or dance, dr run, l or do anything, for fear of bursting some ting. Ro it- is with fitters. Bat us as are not ; tr nn bled with such thofighta we go ahead. ■ " But starting a engine’s one thing and driving of her ie another. Any one, a child a’most, can torn on the steam and turn it off again; bnt it ain’t every one that can keep a engine well on the road, no more than it ain’t every one who can ride a horse properly. It is much the same thing. If you gallop a horse right off for a mile or I two> you take the wind out . df him, and for : the next mile or two yon must let him trot, or walk. So it 1b with'a engine. If you put I oh too much Bteam, to get over'the ground 1 at the start you exhaust the boiler and thon 1 you’ll have to crawl along till your fresh 1 water boils up: The great thing in driving, 1 is,to go steady .never toletyour water get too low.noryonr fire too low. It’sthesame witba 1 kettle. If yon fill it up when it’s about ’ half empty, it boob comes to the boil again. Another thing: you should never make spurts, unless yon are detained and lose time. Yon should go up an iodine and : down an incline at the same pace. Some times a driver will waste his steam, and when he comes to a hill he has scarcely : enough to drag him up. When you’re in a I train that goes by fits and starts, you may be sure that there ia a bad driver on the en- gine. That kind of driving frightens pas sengers dreadful. When the train, after rattling along, suddenly slacks speed when it ain’t near a station, it may he in the mid dle of a tunnel, the passengers think there is danger. Bat generally it’s because the driver hasexhausted his steam.— From, Dickens’s Christmas Story, “Mugdy Junc tion.” . Likut. U. S. N., died of yellow fever, bn board the.

A Mechanical Curiosity Thh “Fibbt" Wheeleb A Winsos Bkwinh Machine.— The public have heard so much about tne hundreds of thousands of Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machines that bßve been made Jand sold, and of the numerous and great improvements that have been made udod them, that few persons will be prepared to hear that the very first of these instruments that was ever made U mil olive and in wrking order . We have seen it. Oar* readers, who will call at Messrs. Peterson <Si Liuie's, 704 Chestnut street, can have the same privilege. This machine was made in 1851, and the price of it was )I£s. The number of Wheeler & Wilson Machines, tured since then, is over 250,000. and the selling price of the ccrieepondlng-anicle Is now $55 Considering the • vast revolution In labor, which Lbs Wheeler <fc Wilson Machines have wrought, this novel old machine hers, referred to, is a curiosity which all should see, and which, we believe, is destined some day to rival in in ternet the most profound.curlosity in any museum on the face of the globe. Bead the following history of this machine, from the pen of its former owner: “This machine was finished early Sn 185 i, and I learned its use from Mr. Wilson himself. I was the first, you see.To work the Wheeler & Wilson Machine, and learmdon the first machine they .ever made. In JStt, learned with the machine 1295, besides doing my own work and taking care of my baby. In 1555 we can e to Davenuort, and brought the machine with us. I believe it was the first machine ever brought to lowa, I ran that machine almost constantly for more than fourteen years, on all sorts of work, from the fimst dressmaking to the heaviest tailoring. I quilted a fall-size bed-spread with it, which has been exhibited three times at tne fairs. It took me three weeks to do It with my other work, but It csnld not have been done by band in as many years. I have even etitched lea ther with H, and at the time I exchanged it for No. iajfl2o (In 1865) It worked just as well as when first made. It is perhaps not wrong lor ms to add that £ believe the Wheeler & Wilson vastly superior to any other ma chines made. _ „ “ Yours, respectfully, P. B. B."

Christmas and Wedding Gifts,—Next to the desire to make a present is the a&xiety to know where to buy on the most suitable and on the most ad vantageous terms.. as for ourselves we believe that some article of silver ware is the most acceptable as a present, as it comblres, ~more than anything else, beauty and utility, and moreover is more durable and lasting. Such a pres*, nt, In perfection, can be procured at the establishment N. B. corner of Ninth and truest nut streets, where all the members of the old firm of John O. Mead A; Sons are to be fotmd. In the nr*s place, these gentlemen were the firstmanafaUurers of sliver plated ware in this city, and all their articles have been manufactured under their own immediate supervision, which gives them aposltion for reliability which is ofgreat advantage to customers and Is essen tials complete satisfaction. Again, these gentlemen have made the manufacture of hard metal goods a a study, until they have attained such perfection In this department of their manufac ures that the cele brated Sheffield ware cannot surpass their goods in durability and finish. In addition to these advantages they have in their employ first class artists who are continually producing new* designs, not excelled by ■bexnratceitbrated European artists whose repara tions are world-wide, Moreover at, this estaoilsh menttherels a stock so large and varied that the most fastidious or captious taste can be gratified. There are designs unique, new, and beautiful, and no article of silver ware - or whatever description, is wanting In the whole range of household economy. Whether the present be designed for father, mother, brother, sister, wire or friend, It can be found with the utmost readiness at theN.Jfl. comer of Ninth and Chestnut streets.
