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

Smith, English & Co. have received from
Strahan & 00., New York and London, two

- 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

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

A Locomotive Engineer.
When a man has a liking for a thing ii’s
es good as being clever. 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,

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."
Purchasers of feewing Machines for Christmas Pre
sents, wil] t of course, give the Wheeler <fc Wilson the
pielerence.
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. It is almost useless for us to urge
our readers to inspect this establishment before making
