"Ring Sham" is the king of, a-region of small wit and faint puns, which the author himself has the grace to enroll as "atrocities. ° This admission being thrown down by the writer as a sop to Cerberus, Cerberus will re tire growling as faintly as he can, leaving in the foreground a single one of the "atrocities" as specimen. The ensuing gustatory epigram is as good as anything we find in the collec tion, but the. purchaser . Who would do more than taste will find plenty of a similar flivor, under the neat covers laid upon the tables of Messrs.

Lawrence N. Greenleaf is the author, Hurd & Houghton the Publishers. The author of the "Heir of Redclyffe" has prepared a little collection of historical sketches, ranging beyond the primary school book, and just within the limit of "youthful literature." The histories are separated into distinct studies or.portraita, which the author prettily calls "cameos," though few of the young readers she addresses will ,cotnpre. bend the appropriateness of the term. 'These delineations, which begin with the earliest times and include the results of the Conquest, will beTollowed by another volume devoted to the wars of themiddle ages. The pietur esquenste.and accuracy of these hiStories have 'secured a wide success in England, which will be repeated here,.ol _least ,among. thoss families which believe that iteis important for young persons of this country to be well Pnsted,up in the details of the origin of Eng lish society. The work is issued in Amer ica by Lippincott St; Co. Messrs. J. B. Lippincott S Co. have in press, among other things, a capital new work by Prof. Farrar, being the lives of Se neca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, made 'Tinto one volume entitled "Seekers after God." This will be the third volume of the "Sunday Library." We observe also in their list of works in preparation a "Hand-book of Vaccination," by Dr. E. C. Seaton, M. D.; a flew st - ory - by"Ouida," caged "Tiicotrim" . the "journal of HeriViajesty's ship Galatea's voyage around the world, under command of the Duke of Edinburgh" (a book certain to take);"Alma-ra-ka, Home of the Crows," des- cribing the first occupation of the Powder River Route to Mentana,in '66 and '67; and a new novel by the author of "The Old Mam'- selle's Secret," sure to be finely rendered into English by the able pen of Mrs. Wister. We receive from J. K. Simon, 29 South Sixth street, the second volume of Irving'd "Life and Voyages of Columbus," Putnam's edition, the first of which we noticed upon its appearance a short time ago. The luxury of this Knickerbocker series is perfect. The type, the tinted paper, the moderate size, the rich, plain binding just set off with the au thor's autograph in gold, all are beyond the scholar's dearest wish. As for Irving's "Co lumbus," ther' is nothing new to be said of that. Its fresh and authentic sources of in formation, and its exquisite style, keep it classical for ranlipand popular for reference. It only remained for the publishers to come up to the level of the authorship, and this they have completely done. Two of Dickens's latter novels, the "Tale of Two Cities" and "Great Expectations,"— both of them live sensational stories of per manent interest, are now ready, in one'vol nme of the "Charles Dickens Ention," Ticknor (X:, Fields. The elegance of this edi tion, adorned with the English engravings and furnished by the author with running headings, has been commented on by us before.

A layman of the Protestant Episcopal Church reviews the Thirty-nine Articles,as so many pious scholars have done before him. The pamphlet is issued by Samuel H. Sieg, of-Harrisburg: Few will dissent from the fol lowing conclusions: "Catholicism,Mohammedanism,Paganism, Mormonism, and all Religions, good and bad, ' including every variety of Protestant Reli gions, are not accidents; they are parts of %le grand design, the meaning of which we , only see and understand imperfectly. "The Christian religion, in any of its nu merous Catholic, or Protestant forms, cannot spread or grow except with a spreading and growing civilization; conferring additional timer& knowledge. And we find that as knowledge has increased, especially in •the United States, the ancient superstitions have aradually yielded and given place to more enlightened views of the greatness, goodness - and justice of God. "If these views are sound, we are right in assuming that the time has arrived for the Episcopal Churches, if they would maintain their proper relative position among the peo ple,to their fundamental doctrines. "They have hitherto led; out they will soon lead no more forever, if they decide to cling pertinaciously to dogmas, and theories, many of - which they do already tacitly ac knowledge to be obsolete and useless."

Al. F.T. has'put but an other book, this time religious, ' , and, more than that, protestant. And the Saturday Rcbiew, with immense gusto, worries it in this s tyle: . • Nor is Tupper less powerful in the' region of higher exegesis. Take, as a specimen, the flood of light he pours on the mysterious Beast. In the third ballad we find : That Beast with those two Lamb-like horns to .guard his drsgon tongue, Working his wonders and deceits the world of men among, Whom we C: chew and will not bear his mark on heart or band, The blain of unbelief, or the Scarlet Woman's. brand. And in the eighth ballad he says of the many rs— They witness the peril which lurks in each priest, 'lf his craft were a pestilence over the land, And bid us beware of the mark of the Beast, And wipe it away from tee forehead.and hand ! And notably ? in the twentieth ballad, he tells us that Britain Vows she will not stand it, To ree the parish priest A semi-papal bandit Of the Babylonish Beast! Shall that Italian Ferret Usurp :this Lion-throne Which Protestants inherit Through their pure faith alone ? Shall Popery and Its vermin (As bad old times have seen) Again infest the ermine Of England and her Queen ? This last is rather an unsavory idea. But in critical seasons it is no use mincing matters, and we feel gratitude to those who suffer from no mawkish squeamishness, but dare to call a spade a spade. And what a store of information we, tem' have respecting what may be called the natural history of the Beast ! First, we learn that the final cause of his lamb-like horns is to guard his dragon tongue. That is not the common object of horns; but then the Beast is not a common beast. According to Tupper, it is an animal of the genus .I(ustela, indigenous to Italy, .and. appaffritly akin to Aristole's "Libyan Weasel." This will surprise those who have been used to suppose the Beast to be a large one. Next we learn that the - celeb - rated - Ittark of the - Beast may be im pressed on the heart and hand, as well as on the forehead; and that it is of' the nature of a blain. Moreover this blain, when once en gendered on the hand or forehead, can be wiPsdaW_ay.___Thisis_contrary_to the received pathology of blains; but then we must not judge of the Beast's blain by what we know of other blains. And besides—ipsc (brit. Tupper has written it. Whether the Beast I inflicts the Main immediately, or through the instrumentality of "the vermin" which ac company him, we are not told. A Blind t.itide Heat for a Dark Night. A blind inventor, James Gale, M. A., whose great specialty is the "dusting" of gunpowder so as to render it harmless in storage, is the subject of a new and interest ing Biography. A curious instance is given by a reviewer in the Spectator of the way in which sometimes the sharpened hearing of a blind man more than makes up for the loss of vision : "Returning in company with several other persons, in a carrier's van from Plymouth to Tavistock one dark night, Gale suddenly told the driver that the horses had missed their way, and that they were on the wrong road; that, in fact, they were proceeding in the direction of Dartmoor instead of Tavistock. The driver, however, laughed at Gale's re monstrances. How could a blind person know whether the vehicle was on the right road or not? The idea was preposterous, -and so he chuckled the louder and waxed bolder in his rebuff's. But Gale was not to be put down in this manner. He insisted that they were not on the Tavistock Road, and proffered, if the others would wait, for him, to get down in the dark and find the right road for them. It should here be men tioned that after reaching Roborough Dawn, about six miles from Tavistock, the road di vides in three, the centre road leading to Tavistock, Emil that on the right leading to wards Dartmoor; so that in a dark night an experienced traveler might naturally be led to mistake the proper route,especia ly as there are nu hedges or buildings near to act as land marks. At first, the carrier, somewhat irate that his experience should be questioned by a blind passenger, demurred to Gale's propo sal; but the other occupants of the vehicle be coming somewhat uneasy, insisted that an attempt should be made for the purpose of ascertaining whether they were on the proper road or not. Ac cordingly Gale descended, his first act , alter which being to turn his face in the direc tion in which they had come, and to utter a low, peculiar, murmuring cry. Listening attentively for a few seconds, he heard the sound faintly echoed from a rock or 'tor' which he knew to be situated on Roborough Down, thereby confirming the accuracy of his suspicions. He next turned partially round, and with his feet felt carefully for the junction of the down with the edge of the road. This gained, he proceeded steadily on ward until he arrived at the acute angle formed by the junction of the road with that leading to Tavistock. Convinced of his mis take, the carrier retraced his way. The dif ference between the sounds of the wheels on the Tavistock road and on that they were pur suing had caught the quick ears of the blind man." The translation of Dante into quartains like those of Gray's "Elegy," by Thomas William Parsons, the Boston poet, is noticed with great favor by the Athenccum. "We cannot but think," says that paper, "that Mr. Parsons has done more than any other trans lator to make his countrymen acquainted with Dante. Mr. Parsons' translation is made to be read." The• critic's last and chief "com plaint" is that Mr. Parsons has not seen fit to reprint the "noble lines" on a Bust of Dante with which American readers are sufficiently familiar. We may follow the English re viewer, who proceeds to quote the poem, by separating the first and last stanzas, which do not suffer much from the mutilation. "See, from this counterfeit of him Whom Arno shall remember long, How stern of lmeament, how grim The father was of Tuscan song. There but the burning sense of wrong, Perpetual care and scorn abide ; Small friendship for the lordly throng; Distrust of all the world beside. "0 Time! whose verdicts mock our own, The only righteous judge art thou ; That poor, old exile, ead and lone, Is Latinm's other Virgil now ; Before his name the nations bow ; his wordy are parcel of mankind, Deep in whose hearts, es on his brow The marks have sunk, of Dante's mind."

Frore Charles Kingsley's last work, "The 13ermits," we extract the, following fine oriental picture: These hermits enjoyed nature, not so much for her beauty as for her perfdet peace. Day by day the rocks remained the same. Si lently out of the Eastern desert, day by day, the rising sun threw aloft those arrows of light, which the old Greeks had named "the rosy fingers of the dawn." Silently he passed in lull blazealmost above their headathrough out the day; and silently he dipped behind the western desert in a glory of crimson and orange, green and purple; and without an interval of twilight, in a moment, all the land was dark, and the stara leapt out, nottwink ling as in our damper climate here, but hang ing like balls of white fire' in, that purple southern night, through which gone seems to look beyond the stars into the infinite abyss, and towards the throne'of God himself. Day by day, night after night, .that gorgeous pageant passed over the poor ' liermitte. head without a soundiand though sun And moon and planet might change their, places as the year rolled round, the earth beneath his feet seemed not to change. Every morning he saw the same peaks in the distance, the same racks, the same sand heaps around his feet. He never heard the tinkle of a running stream. For weeks together he did not even hear the rushing of the wind. Now and then a storm might sweep up the pass, whirling the sand in eddies, arid making the desert for a_ whileilterally a_!_`howling ness;" and when that was passed all was as it had been before. The very change of sea sons must have been Little marked to him, save by the motions, if he cared to watch them, of the stars above; for vegetation there was none,- to -mark-the difference-between summer and winter. lii springy, of course, the golitary, date-palm here and there threw out its spathe of young green leaves, to add to the number of those which,grey or brown, hung drooping down the stem, withering but not decaying for many a year in that dry at mosphere; or perhaps the acacia bushes looked somewhat gayer for a few weeks, and the Retama broom, from which as well as from the palm leaves he plaited his baskets, threw out its yearly crop of twigs; but any green ness there might be in the vegetation of spring turned grey in a few weeks beneath that burning sun; and the rest of the year was one perpetual summer of dust and glare and rest. Amid such scenes the mind had full time for thought. Arrangement of Flowers in a Garden —Necessity of Verdure as a Relief. Some admirable hints on garden decora tion, &c.. have been thrown together by W. Robinson, F. L. S., in his suggestive work called "Gleanings from French Gardens." A critic in the London Spectator points out the following French ideas in the arrangement of flower-beds: "Twenty years ago far more attention was paid to mixed borders than is paid now; gera niums and other bedding plants, have been brought to rare perfection by the new sys tem; but we question whether the effect of vast masses of color is pleasing to the eye. We are dazzled, but not gratified; we gaze at these bright beds with wonder rather than with delight. In fact, our gardens, to quote an expression of Mr. Robinson's, are often `overdone with flowers;' and ho notes how this mal-arrangement is avoided in the Lux embourg, in the Louvre, and elsewhere, by planting herbaceous plants in the centre of the border, so as to produce a permanent line of verdure. Re mentions, too, more than once, what must have struck all visitors to Paris, the pleasing manner in which the Irish ivy is employed as an edging to flower beds: "'ln the private garden of the Emperor the ivy bands are placed on the gravel walks, or seem to be so; for a belt of gravel a foot or so in width separates the ivy from the border proper. The effect of these outside of the masses of gay flowers is excellent. They are the freshest things to look upon in that city, all through the months of May, June and July. They form a capital setting, so to speak, for the Hower borders, the best indeed that could be obtained; while in themselves they possess beauty sufficient to make it worth one's while to grow them for their own sakes.' "This is but one of many uses to which ivy is applied. It is used as a covering to every thing unsightly, it is planted in nearly every courtyard in Paris, and Mr. Robinson ob serves that he never saw the scarlet geraniuln to greater advantage thanlin deep long boxes," placed against a wall densely covered with ivy, and that planted also along their front edges, so as to hang down and cover the face of the boxes. In tasteful. arrangements like these the French display great ingenuity and a fine eye for color, and although they cannot compete with us in large private gardens, they excel us greatly in the flo ral decorations of houses, and windows, and city courtyards. The latter are generally left by us in all their bare ness, and it is a pleasant sur prise when we come upon a batch of flowers or a pretty fernery in a London byway. In France, on the other hand, there is a general appreciation of these vegetable facilities- and we shall not soon forget our alight last summer, while wandering one hiat day through liouen, at the - sight of a square court-yard belonging,to a large milli nery' establishment which was veritably a hewer of greenery and blossoms. Truly has IV been said that it is the chance and cheap pleasures of travel that impress us the most strongly. Mr. Robinson remarks, by the way, that ivy is frequently used in Paris as a screen'in living rooms, and in some shops is allowed to grow up the walls,—a pretty cus tom truly, but one which we should not care WI see adopted in England, since the love we cherish for ivy is shared in by snails and other intiectS." ; A AND 8-4 BLACK IRON BAREORS, BEST (.3 - ! -- X' qualities.

Bavrioionv;,Augnst I.—The Hon, Reverdy Johnson, Minister to England, and his fa - rally, Failed for Southampton, at 2 P. M. to-day, on the 'steamship Baltimore, of the Baltimore and Bre men line. Ho was escorted down the river by a large number of personal friends, on the steamer Chesapeake, and about a dozen steamers and tugs, crowded with passengers. The Baltimore was decorated from her deck to to r n-gallant masts with flogs and signals, and her railing, ford and eft, was covered with evergreens. The gangway to the ship was arched with flowers and ever green P. Among those who escorted Mr. Johnson down the river were Baron von Gerolt, the Prussian minister; Senator Van Winkle, of West Virgin ia; General Van Vliet, of the Quartorsoaster's Department; General Brooke, coatmandant of Fort McHenry; Hon. C. C. Cox, Commissioner of Pensions ; ex-Governor Bradford, and many representatives of the press from Washington and Baltimore. On passing Fort McHenry a sa lute of thirteen guns was fired. and the flags on the ship were dipped. Mayor Banks, of Belli =ore, toasted Mr. Johnson on behalf of the peo ple of the City, whom he claimed to represent, and wished him a pleasant voyage. Mr. Johnson responded in appropriate terms, and in the course of his remarks said: "I go to England as a minister of peace. My instructions look to peace; and if lam able to carry them out in the spirit in which they arc given to me t peace will be the result—a firm and enduring peace. So obviously is this the Interest of the two countries, that good men of both nations will strive to make more firm and endur ing than ever the peace now existing. We are the same people, descended from the same stock, and no matter how much we may have differed in the past, and have met on sea or on land, we are now satisfied that it dues not pay us to fight. We ought to stand together and maintain the principles ofpolitical liberty. There Is another government which has stood by us in the past, and whose interests and our own are the same, and I ask you to join me in a tout to the King of Prussia and the able representative of that 'monarch, who is always a consistent friend of the United States, and endeared to us all who bare known him during the many years he has represented his government in this country." Baron von Gerolt expressed gratitude for the kind recognition of Mr. Johnson, and reiterated - firm and dc-voted friendship for the Government and people of the United States In behalf of him-, well and his Government. In response to a toast of " The State of Mary land and her Minister to England," es-Governor Bradford responded in eloquent and appropriate language. . The ovation to Mr. Johnson was a magnificent testimonial of the respect of his fellow-citizens, regardless of political feelings, and was a fitting endorsement of his unanimous confirmation by the Senate.

The crowd at the depot, on the Generar3 arrival, was Immense, and a most cordial and enthusiastic welcome was given to him. It was observed that a party of rebels were in the crowd, and, from certain sus vicious movements, it wall evident they meant mitchicf When the General arrived at the Pacific House the crowd had increased to several thousand, and In answer to the most vociferous cheers the General appeared on the balcony and spoke as follows : " FLIA.OW GITIZENS : I thank you for this - very cordial reception, but I can not make you a apt ech. I have been travelling all the time for the past two weeks in the Western country, and It is the first time I have ever been In the West. _I am tired and worn out, and you must there fore excuse me for not speaking." The General then retired. This little speech was received with tumultuous cheers, after which General Sherman was loudly called for and finally appeared on the balcony. At this juncture the plans of the rebels were developed. A man named E. 0. Hayes, having been filled with whisky for the occasion, tooted a horn and others cheered for Seymour and hooted and howled in the most boisterous and insulting manner. As soon as the excitement subsided a little. Gen. Sherman spoke as follows: l'G6n. kirant and myself know how to appreciate any spirit of respect, but neither he nor myself are to be disconcerted by any large crowd. We are used to large crowds., and we can not be discon certed. General Grant has declined to make a speech. and I think, occupying the position be does before the country, he acts the part of wisdom." litre some one called for three cheers fcr Sey mour, and the cheers of the ruffians and the groans of the loyal people interrupted the Gen eral for some time. As soon as partial (Inlet was re-toad. Gen. Sherman said: "Gentleman, I do not ingeneral counsel violence, but were I a cit izen of St. Joseph I would take that man, re ferring to the one who commenced the disturb ance, down to the Mb3souri river and duck him. We have fought rebels, and we thought they had bad enough of fighting." This sentiment called out prolonged and hearty cheers, and the Gen eral, finding ho could not be heard further, rail - ed.—Cincinnati Gazette. POLITICAL. The Republlmn Platform. Ike National Republican Party of the United b'tates, assembled in JVat ion al Conrentton in the City (f . Chicago, on the 20th day of May, 1868, muhe the following declaration of principles 1. We congratulate the country on the assured success of the Reconstruction policy of Congress, as evinced by the adoption in the maim ity of the .States lately In rebellion, of Constitutions secur ing equal civil and political rights to all, and it is the duty of the Government to sustain those constitutions, and to prevent the people of such states from being remitted to a State of an archy. 2. The guarantee by Congress of equal suffrage to all loyal men at the South was demanded loy every consideration of public safety, of grati tude and of justice, and must be maintained; while the question of suffrage in all the loyal states properly belongs to the people of those States. 3. We denounce all forms of repudiation as a National crime; and the National honor requires the payment of the public indebtedness in the uttermost good faith to all creditors at home and abroad, not only according to 1.0 :letter bat the spirit of the laws under which it was contracted. 4. It is due to the labor of the nation that taxation should be equalized and reduced as !rapidly as the National faith will permit. 5. The National debt contracted, as it has been, for the preservation of the Union for all time to •come, should be extended over a Mir period for redemption; and it is the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of interest thereon, whenever It • can be honestly done. 6. That:the best policy to diminish our burden of debt is to so improve our credit that capital ists will seek to loan us money at lower rates of interest than we now pay, and must continue to pay,so long as repudiation, partial or total, open or covert, is threatened or suspected. 7. The government of the United States should be administered with the strictest economy, and the corruptions which have been so shamefully nursed and fostered by Andrew Johnson call .oudly for radica I reform. 8 We profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic death of Abraham Lincoln, and regret the accession of Andrew Johnson to the Presidency, who has acted treacherously to the people who elected him, and the cause he was pledged to sup port; who has usurped high leelslative and judi -cial functions; who has refused to execute the laws; who ' has used his high office to induce -other officers to ignore and violate the laws; who has employed his exe cutive powers to render insecure the property, the peace, liberty, and life of the citi zen; who has abused the pardoning power; who has denounced the National Legislature as un-' constitutional; litho has persistently and cor ruptly resisted, by every measure in his power, every proper attempt at the reconstruction of the States lately in rebellion; who has perverted the public patronage into an engine of wholesale corruption, and who has been justly impeached for high crimes at d misdemeanors, and properly pronotuiced guilty thereof by the vote of 35 Venators. 9. The doctrine of Great Britain and other Eu ropean powers, that because a man is once a sub- ject he is always's°, must be resisted at every ha zard by the United States, as.a relic of the feudal timesenot authorized by the law of nations, and at war with our national honor and independence. Naturalized citizens are entitled to be,protected . in all their rights of citizenship as though they were native born, and no citizen of the United States, native or naturalized, must be liable to _ arrest and imprisonment by any foreign power for acts done or words spoken in this country,; and-if so arrested and imprisoned, it is the duty • of the Governnaciakto interfere in his behalf. 10. Of all who were faithful Inlthe trials of the late war, there were none entitled to more espe cial honor than the brave soldiers and seamen who endured the hardships 'of campaign and cruise, and imperiled their livea in the service of the country; the bounties and pensions provided by the laws for these brave defenders of the na tion are obligatibns never to. / be' forgotten;, the widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of -the people, a sacred legacy bequeathed to the nation's protecting care. 11. Foreign immigration—which in the past has added so much to the wealth, development and resources and Increase of power to this nation, the asylum of the oppressed of all nations—should be fostered and encouraged by a liberal and jest = policy. ` 12. This Convention declares itself in sympathy with all Vie oppressed people which 'are atrug- Wing for their rights. „ 13. That we highly commend the spirit of mag nanimity and forbearance with which the men who have served in the rebellion, but now frankly and honestly co-operate with us in restoring the peace of the country and reconstructing the Southern State Governments upon the_ basis of impartial justitiCand equal rights, are received back into the communion of the loyal people; and we faller the removal of the disqualifications and restricticins imposed .upon the late: Rebels in ho same meariare;eB their spirit of loyalty will dimet, and as may be consistent with the safety of the loyal people. • 14. That We recognize the gieit principles laid down in the immortal Declaration of Indepen dence as the true foundation of democratic OW.' eniment, and we hail with gladness every. etfort • toward making these principles aliving reality, on every inch of American 50i1:.." • • PASSENGERS ARRIVED. steamer Star of we tmlon trolls New Crimes-- Mr it Ferguson.
