NSW PEKTODIC&LS. ' NEW PERIODICALS. Harper's Magazine for January comes o. P'= - --lo us from Turner's, with an unusual variety _ 'Ail capital reading, and a welcome improve .. anent in the illustrations. - Theo. Davis's ' drawings for his buffalo-article are abOve Harper's standard of merit,while hisigraphio narrative shows that be can wag the pen as - well as the pencil. Isar. Davis _natal:dates the probable duration of the buffalo-stratum very ranch as alarmists have calculated tlan_coal beds of Europe; here is what he gathers on. the subject: ,HI have frequently been-amused at the calcula ti6MB made by wise old hunters whom one dads on the Range. They settle within a million or eo the exact number of buffalo that are yet wan dering about. - One old feiloW hi convinced that . - therelssomething like seventeen millions, and that Ibis is the exact number required to keep up the present stock. The buffalo is certainly de creasing since 1858. They have been pressed more than a hundred miles west in Kansas and Nebraska. They no longer range up to the Platte intim great numbers that formerly visited that stream; and the Indians are ever bringing for ward the fact, in their powwows with - commis sioners, that soon the buffalo will be gone, and the red brother must keep peace with the white and eat his "spotted buffalo" (Indian for do mestic cattle). lam tempted to remark that they do eat a very considerable number of spot ted Wale that are pprocured In a very brotherly way: and no Indian is complete in - his outtamtu to his a cow-skin (hair on) bow-case and arrow quiver. If, as the Indian fears—groundlessly, however, at present—the buffalo will pass away, I am at a loss to know what ho would do, for the buffalo feeds, clothes, and warms the nomads. The fiCeti being used as - food, - either fresh - or sun dried. The skin is used as clothing, blankets, and, with the hair removed, becomes, the beat material out of which to manufacture the tents or .tepes,' and the ‘bois de ruche' Is as good fuel as the Indian asks for. In fact, there is scarcely a manufactured article that the abrorlgine uses but what,one may discover. that some portion of the buffalo bas been used - inthe construction of it. Certainly the redskin 'must feel something like consternation as he sees the buffalo become year by year less plenty." —ln the way of advertising their new publication by Du Chaillu,—"Wild life under the Equator"—Messrs. Harper insert into their magazine a liiiniber - ef = the - Texplorer's most sensational anecdotes and most chair' ticur-al sketcheti.—The intelligent author of South-coast Saunterings discourses very agreeably ; in a second paper,,of Stonehenge, Salisbury Cathedral, Flint Implements of Devonshire, •and.other antiquarian matters.— Thes'e, with the poem. about ,Creenwood, are the illustrattd articles, leaving which the number debouches into the great level fields of literature spread out for our gleaning. De Forest works up some more of his types, into portraits of the Chivalrous and Semi-Chival rons Southron. There is a good biographical sketch of Abbas Pacha, of Egypt: The remaining papers are popular and lively, showing the veteran skill in editorship which has made Harper's a synonym, of 'success without a drawback. The Easy Chair is unusually agreeable, with personal remini scences of Brook Farm and of Rossini. The Record is accurate and dispassionate as ever, and the Drawer, splitting as no other drawer could split and retain its usefulness too. ILITERRR W CATERERS FOR THE 1101.1 DAYS. Lipp incott's. —On the counters of Messrs. Lippincott & Co., among the most Sumptu• one holiday books ,of the season-,— / perhaps the very most sumptuous—will be' found the magnificent Christmas publication of Messrs. Appleton & Co., entitled "Poet and Painter." It is a large quarto of 400 pages, filled with very fastidiously-chosen extracts from the best poets ; and illustrated with a vast quan tity of steel engravings. The latter are all of fine quality, and include some gems after Turner, &c. We should be failing in our duty, however, if we omitted to state that they are arbitrarily applied to the text, and . are probably all second-hand. The reader must expect to find an American shingle palace of the most pronounced flimsiness in serted to illustrate Hood's "Cot where I was born," and so on. The beauty-look females Corbould and that class of, obsoletes are very daringly fitted to all sorts of beautiful poems. These exquisite creatures, belonging o a taste which the world is forgetting, will make our old belles feel young again; they per tain to the annuals on the new-year's centre tables of their youth. Intrinsically,however, they are very elaborate bits of stippling. And then—who knows ?—the champion ii Instrators of our own day—the Doris and Du Mauriers—may sometime prove to have ` been a passing fashion and little more.-- aro The heavy and magnificent binding, rich bullion gilding, the whole air of Christmas luxury about this splendid volume make it a bonbon for the gourmet. On the same shelves we can also be grati fied with an easy trip to the New York /lois • in the vehicle of an elegant volume of pic tures and letter-press entitled "Description of the New York Central Park." It is a deco ' rative quarto of 204. pages, splendidly typo graphed or, heavy toned pages 'with broad gauge margins, while the profuse engravings are among the very best specimens of the art • of wood cutting we have seen in this coun try. The publishers are Huntingdon & Co., - of 459 Broome street, N. Y. But the stock of Messrs. Lippincott & Co, does not depend upon the publishers of other • - eities for its attractiveness. The works is , sued by the house in their own right are the .4 , 1 selections of a practical judgment,well skilled 4 • in conning the tastes of the world of readers. "Tricotrin. The Story of a Waif and 3 , stray." By "Ouida." Steel portrait of au thor. In "Tricotrin" the exuberant powers of the fair "Ouida" find an admirable stage for their development. The scenes shift from the Bois de Boulogne, in Paris, with its calcium lights and skating-rink, to the coast of Biscay, among the Tvreckeraf . from the Buttes de Chaumont, in the days when they harbored those dangerous classes which now :seek shelter ia•the Carrilre d'AmeriTzte, to the idyllic fieldk, where tfie beautiful Viva, the Waif, grows up among the clematis. 'Then there are scenes in Italy. is not the stage broad enough?—Then, from moment to moment, the moat amazing characters leap out from the coulisses. Now it is Coriolis, the yellow-haired actress, old in all experi :;;i *nee, but looking eternally young because ';t*• she has no heart Now it is Tricotrin, curly ' beaded, the most impossible of tenors, who is Sinhemian with the face of a Jupiter, and is 4, '1 < always used to appear at the last moment of •ril* X scene, correcting the situation like a divi , Plow ;A is Viva, golden-headed, beau- Aiful, • perverse and rather base, but. not r i tY,'e allowed to wallow ijuite so low as Coriolis, Ilia° author's favorite goddess of evil. Then 741' g there is Patron MI Minoux, shaggy-headed, with a name imitated from Les Itiis&ables and villany borrowed from Eugene Sue; he is a := robber , mumbler and sweetly-terrible. Are the characters not well contrasted? are they not Odor don't they wear enough hair? Oui, da we, the public, for whom Miss de 4, Rataa writes, who taste she, tries to satisfy,' withso much real ritudy, with so' rata vt viuoVeth. such 'variety; with such amazing m ofrudition; if we object to her . _ • , spasmodic and sensationd style, so-little at tistlO we haie 'only to remember that the 'standard which 'authors write up -to is th e standard which we ourselves croate. If we demand spasm, the young, ambitious author will give us spasm: If we demand careful art-work, and take time to study it, art-work will be produced for us. But we must not clamor for sensations, and stretch out one hand cravingly for a good, satisfying sop of blood and thunder, and then with the other take up the critic's pitiless knife. "Greater Britain. A Record of Travel in lEnglish- speaking Countries during 1866-67;" tßy Charles Wentworth Dilke. Mr.Dllke, an Englishman of scholarship, and liberality, :visited America just after the war. He was likewise a voyager to Australia and to India; but his American opinions, very fresh and unprejudiced, and full of the most ardent cu riosity about Our types and customs,are what - will—interest--readers,---in—thiountry, The work has been read with much interest in Great Britain, and very favorably noticed in the reviews ,of that country. Messrs.Lippincott & Co. pit it out in excellent style, with maps and_ - (what is important in ethnology, colored) illustrations, and the two English tomes compressed with out any appearance of damping into a hand some octavo. • "Seekers•after God" is the title of. an able study of three great philosophers of heathen dom, whose native purity of thought led them up almost to the creed preached by Paul. Seneca, , Epietetus and the imperial sage Mercus Aurelius are the noble triad. 'We cannot call the last, as he has, been called, : the "prophetic Christian," becaiise in point of time the Christiaireligion anticipated his philosophy; only the wave of evangelization had not at his period swept into the palace of the Camara. But we can concede to his lofty virtue and pure life an interest which grows solenia_ and almost sad as we think - what was.lobt to the Empire, and what de layed to the Church, because this stainless monarch never grasped the faith he almost realized. Prof. Farrar, the author of these studies, has, with assistance from Mr. Mas son, enriched them with some very admirable historical and critical erudition, while the style is kept sufficiently popular to interest that considerable patron, the general reader, in the work. —The title "Sunday Library" applied to this series is excessively silly, there being no conceivable reason why the works composing it should be read on'one day more than another; the non - segnitur, however,, is _ _ not Mr. Lippincott's. "Advice to a mother on the management of her children" is the record of one of the most able family practitioners in England, Prof. Pye Henry Chavasse. As presented by Lippincott it shows about 400 pages, 12mo, filled with the most practical, original and sensible hints for the, nursery and the cradle. The fact that the work appears in a ninth edition is quite enough to show that it deserves the favoritism it enjoys in the old country. •The School History of Pennsylvania," by J. R. Sypher, is an excellent compilation, professing no great profundity, but correct and suitable. When we say that it has the art of combining many facts in addition to that of making these facts interesting, we say, we think,the best possible word for a school text book. It is a I 2mo of 344 pages. "The American Juror." By H. B. Wilson. The jury system is the Anglo-Saxon boast. Whatever makes juries more intelligent,more aware of their exact position between the Judge, the State's Attorney and the accused, is a direct favor to our civilization. We think so highly of Mr. Wilson's motives, and so respectfully of his skill in writing his little compilation, "The American Juror," that we desire to call our readers' attention to his con siderations for issuing his work: "It ban been written with the hope that it may accomplish good; and if its defects are not so numerous and important as to neutralize its merits, and men can be induced to read and study the work, it can hardly fall to accomplish this object. It is however, a curious fact that the majority of persons—even in a popular gov ernment like ours—are not solicitous to give much attention to cultivating their faculties for the intelligent discharge of the special duties which devolve upon them as citizens. Thou sands of persons would read--and perhaps study —a work of this character, if it should fall iu their way, who would not so much as think of going out of their way to procure a copy of it. For this reason the author ventures the sugges tion that the Legislatures of the several States would do well to provide for placing a work of this character in the hands of jurymen. The work may, also, with propriety, be intro duced into the schools as a class-book or reader. In addition to the obvious importance of in structing the youth—the future jurymen of the country—for the Intelligent discharge of one of the most Important duties that will devolve upon them us citizens, the introduction of the book into schools would so disseminate It that the jurymen of the present day would have access to it, and could read It- with profit to themselves and the State." From Mr. Leonard Meyer, 1280 Chestnut street, we receive "Concordia," a selection of music from the best operas and oratorios adapted to piano or melodeon. It has 105 pages, and a great variety of religious and romantic music, representing the very beat achievements of the composers. From Mr. Meyer, who has a speciality of the large photographs from Kanlbach, we also receive a full-size copy of that wonderful artist's great cartoon of "The Reformation." From John Peningtbn & Bon, the old-es tablished importers of books, to whom one instinctively goes for counsel and assistance in buying foreign literature, we receive their usual New Year's compliment—a variety of cheap French almanacs, comic, musical, "proplaCtique," "amusant," etc., including the Almanac of the Lantern, with some of M. Rocheforte's tartest diatribes. Also the very useful Alnzanach de Gotha' —127 South Seventh street. Tux FINE ARM—While on the subject of literary holiday gifts, we wish to bring up to the notice of our citizens a little Philadelphia enterprise worthy of their very beet consid eration.—ln the gallery of the Artists' Fund Society, reposing on the piano, May be seen a specimen of the elegant volume which the members have prepared this season in fulfil ment of their annual devair. • It is a cqllec tion of twenty photographs after paintings executed express, and includes the very best names in Philadelphia Fine Arts. Most be -I►olders•will be surprised at the fact that so THE"bAILY VENIN rich a collection could have been brought out without trespassing beyond the field,. of our ,own art-poduction. Works by Samessele, namiltorclititubdin,Richards,Waugh, Lewis and Many others are included.

It represents the Crucifixion 'and Virgin Faint ing, a characteristic subject with the'master. —Mr. Tentiner also exhibits a very elaborate painting, by a German artist, of Saint Peter's, viewed from under -the' dome. The choice collection of Dtisseldorf paintings (for ob taining which on accommodating terms Mr. Teubner has unusual faellities) kalso swelled by some fastidiously-ohosen specimens of .American art. Ilionilton, the Morena, and some others of our most considerable painters, have selected 31r. Teubner as their broker, confiding-implicitly in_his art-knowledge and experience.—Teubner's minor stock includes some strong attractions to people of taste; he has the large photographs after riaulbacb, which when framed would be taken \ for the original crayons themselves; photographs from drawings by the old paintere, of intense interest to artists; the best chromos, etc. LibDON.

When they are done, take out the por tion destined for a separate dish and only leave in those to be used for Amp. Fill their place in the pot with boiling water, add salt if needed, a peeled onion, a clove of garlic and at last a good lump of butter. After boiling up several umes pour the soup on slices of bread. Haricots is la Bretonne. Chop an onion, fry it in a saucepan with butter; when the onion begins to brown add a little float; let it come to a good color, moisten watt the above soup, let it cook thoroughly, season with pepper and salt if re quired add the cooked haricots, and after they have simmered twenty minutes serve them.
