“Letters of a Sentimental Idler, from

finger.
Since the Howadji came back from the
Orient with his store of honey-sweet
souvenirs, we have seen no collection ot
reminiscences so filled with the enervating
deliciousness of Nile days and Arabian
nights. This young author has wandered
from Constantinople to Nubia, and from
BeytbUt to Damascus.with aneye perpetu
ally open and thirsting for beauty, which it
finds with poetic readiness wherever it
alights. The book is formed of letters to a
favorite brother, apparently left behind in
Philadelphia, always addressed with fondness
and admiration as the Bookworm; and the
author himself is well known to
literary comrades here. The chap
ters ■ have the ease and familiar
ity Of so many winter’s tales, poured
into trusty ears around the home-hearth, and
light with their burden of endless and rainless
summer. The caprice of the dilettante is ob
servable in the inequalities of the style, which
is now poetic, now familiar, and often falter®
when under the impulse of a fine thought be
fore it finds the true and complete expression;
but, on. the other hand, the letters gain fresh
ness from this unforced, careless and acci
dental air. A capricious homesickness comeß
up through the narrative with a haunting re
frain, but it is only deep enough to throw the
tourist’s images of delight into relief, like the
shadow under the saliencies of a cameo. The
writer dates from Brussels, and a Berfes of
Brussels drawings of very high character are
etched for the embellishment of the volume.
The portrait in front attracts the reader by it s
semi oriental refinement. As a specimen of
Mr. Leech’s picturesque and observant nar
rative we will copy hiß account of the ascent
of one of the Nile cataracts.
MOUNTING THE I.OWEIi FALL
As far as the eye could reach, on every
brown jagged rock, amid the boiling waters,
and along the distant winding shore, uprose,
as if by magic, hundreds of naked natives, of
all sges and sizes, who, haviDg evidently
waited for our appearance, now joined in the
work of fastening strong hawsers to our da»
babetih, accompanying their labor by songs,
ahonts and curses, ana making a confusion
which he only who has traveled in the Orient
can understand. Scores of men and boys
dashed in'o the foaming torrent, some on lit
tle round logs, and some without, all beating
the waves with their feeble arms. They
somehow contrived to steer themselves
through the foamy cataract and reach our
boat, on which they clambered, dripping,
grinning, and naked, shouting “Backshish !
backshish 1”
I beheld, with amazement, one After
another of these Nubians spring into the flood,
shoot down the rapids as if it was only sport
to them, and, paddling with eiiher hand,
reachany given rock. Many trust themßelves
without their log, and they apparently stand
upright in the waters which whirl them past
as on the back of some mad foaming
charger; these fellowß fasten their only gar
ment (the waistband or girdle) on their deads,
in the form of a turban, when they go into
✓ Mlrßab, or the small cataracts, and then
V they seemed to me like great black painted
idols, which, in the craßh of the world's mil
lennium, were being hurried on by some
Bcumander to join the Sphinxes in a strange
inftmo. W bat forms they had! As they
came on deck dripping with water, and their
skins shining like some dark polished metal,
each would be a worthy model for the sculp
tor. But I had no time to notice further
these strange beings, for our good Bund had
fecoiled at the foot of a fall, and the ropes
were brought in play to pull her up and over
it; the foam was fluDg over her bows as Bhe
was dragged through the waters, and if, for
an instant, the ropes had given way, we
would have been dashed into splinters against
the rocks in the flood. “ Wallah! Wallah!"
« Fallough! fallouyh!" shouted the chiefs
on the tops of the rocks, and the dark surg
ingmasses of Nubians, on each aide, an-,
swered in chorus, “Hay lee euh! hay lee
»dTi!"* Now we were below a ridge, over
which it seemed impossible to drag our large
boat; the waters were heaped up over it, as
npon a cataract’s brink, for a final plunge,
and our craft trembled, but moved not over
it; every nerve was strained; the hawßers
twisted around the rocks ahead of us, but we
sained not an inch; the shouts of the un
earthly figures around us ; the wild motions
and shrieks of the two rei's’ of the cataraets,
with the roar of the waters, made up a scene
of savage strangeness impossible to depict.
Just at this critical juncture, and at a point
where adahabfeeh had been wrecked two years
before, our left bow-hawser gave way from
.the rocks (having been too quickly and inse
curely fastened by the men), and, like a shot,
we veered round, the waters dashed over our
deck, and we only huDg trembling by our
one rope; if that had gone, we should have
been precipitated against the rofiks. The
shouts of the natives were deafening; the ges
tures of the chiefs frantic —fifty athletes
dashed into the cataract and swam for the
missing rope,and finally.one old man brought
forth the end in his teeth like a great grizzly
dog—it waß soon again fastened,and we were
safe, in the meantime, at the first sign of
danger, Mahmoud had rushed below,and ap
peared, in an instant, with his money-bags
slung on his shouideiß, while the r6is of our
boat was huddled among the sailors in a cor
ner, yellow with fear, his lips trembling as
with an ague, and Mb hands fumbling an old
chaplet as be muttered the name of Allah.
Another pull, “BayUe sah, hay lee siih!"
Bpd wc felt ourselves slowly ascending the
Steeps, though sights and sounds were over
whelmed by the rush of waters which
eparkled over and thundered around us. One

minute more—painful suspense—sustained
struggle—and we were over; and tied tp the
rocks in the minor falls; there was a hearty
cheer from the Nubians; we thundered out a;
salute from guns and revolvers on deck,let fly '
the corks from two or three, champagne bot

shadows of the island of Philce.

fhe Miner's Journal, of Pottsville, that
admirable exposition of the ooal-trade of the
country, has prepared its usual annual exhibit
of the statistics of the business, representing
the trade of 1868. This collection of tables
and synopsis of data is the recognized au
thority on the subject. We have already
published in our news columns the prinoipal
results exhibited. We receive the pamphlet
from Turner Bros. & Co.
We receive from Turner Brothers & Co.
The Eclectic Magazine, for March, a bril
liant selection of the very best English litera
ture, with a portrait of Rossini, and twenty
one articles besides the miscellaneous depart
ments. The publisher is E. R. Pelton, 108
Fulton street, New York. From the same
accommodating booksellers we get Every
Month, a fifteen cent magazine of light sen
sational reading published by C. H. Jones
& Co., 108 Fulton street, and Demoreats
Monthly, a periodical whose rich fashion
budget gives it extraordinary authority with
those who live for dress.
Messrs. Turner likewise send us “He
knew he was right,” the inimitably lifelike
novel by Anthony Trollope which has for
a long time been the principal current attrac
tion of Every Saturday. Part I of this
-Btoryrpublished by Harpers, witAthe fine
illustrations by Marcus Stone, is sold in New
York at 30 cents, and by Messrs. Turner at
their customary discount.
-We likewise acknowledge, from Messrs.
Turner, Harper’s edition of “Her Majesty s
Tower” by Hepwork Dixon, the most pains
taking and serious piece of antiquarian re
search ever undertaken by this writer,'and
at the same time so agreeably written that it
will charm back to the author’s side those of
hiß American audience who were displeased
by the follies of his book about our country.
This history of the Tower of London is re
ceived with warm commendation by the
English press.
The above work is likewise published, in a
far more beautiful form, by J. B. Lippincott
& Co., at, of course, a rather heavier price.
The public are largely profiting by the rivalry
oftheße publishing houses. Each of these
editions, perfect from its own standpoint,
is put to the buyer at the lowest consistent
figure.
The following works, recently issued by
Messrs. Harper, form a group of popular and
semi-romantic reading that will match a large
variety of tastes; they are all sold by Turner
Bros. & Co.:
“Travels in Alaska and on the Yukon,” is
the title of a record of residence and adven-
ture in the territory newly acquired by the
United States, by an energetic Englishman,
Mr. Frederick Whymper. Mr. Whym-
per’s explorations were thorough and
intelligent enough to show us clearly
just what we have gained by Mr.
Seward’s bargain with the Russian bear. The
style is picturesque and accurate at the same
time. Mr. Whymper dedicates, in a style
that shows a previous acquaintance, to Sir
Roderick I. Murchison, the great English
geologist. The Map is an extremely valuable
one, lent from the Journal of the Royal Geo
graphical Society; and the engravings, taken
in several instances from photographs, add
largely to the clearness of the descriptions.
The volume is a very neat octavo of 3.03
pages.
“Chinaand the Chinese,” by Rev. John L.
Nevius.ten years amissionary in the Flowery
Kingdom, is a sober, plodding and conscien
tiously accurate account of his residence
there. The manners, mythology and religions
polities of this strange people, whom the
authoT visited from motives of pure philan
thropy, are richly illustrated with pen and
pencil. The book is at once readable and re
liable.
We have previously noticed Messrs. Har
per’s fine edition of “Miles O'Reilly’s” poems.
Col. Halpine is remembered by the pres 3
with a peculiar personal fondness, and news
paperdom is still ringing with affectionate
tributes to the lost brother who in life was
ODe bf its ornaments.—Sir Samuel Baker’s
“Cast up by the Sea," a boy’s story of the
moßt richly adventurous kind, we have like
wise examined. ■ — Rev. Lyman Abbott s
“Jesus of Nazereth,” a familiar Life, adorned
with the picturesque resulLs of modern
oriental research, continues to have great
success.—The Rev. Dr. Bellows, in his
“The Old World in its New Face,” gives the
impressions of a cultivated gentleman during
what used to be'called the Grand Tour.
Volume II is just out.—Dilka’s “Greater Bri
tain” we hear of ns a household word among
our friends, who are curious to know how
America appears in the eyes of the last intelli
gent Englishman. Mr. Dilke’s generous im
pressions give the greatest satisfaction in the
country where he was a guest —Ross Browne's
“Adventures In the Apache Gountry,” as an
elaborate account of places and races that are
soon to be improved away out of all recogni
tion, is a story that peopld are reading with
great delight Books like thiß written by such
a delightful conversationalist as Mr. Browne,
form the Eastern reader’s best method of
apotheosis to the Happy Hunting Grounds.
—Dr. Dalton's “Physiology and Hygiene”
profoundly learned, profoundly simple, and
not too long, we suppose to be the very best
text-book for schools extant upon the
subject—Da Chaillu’s “Wild Life under
the Equator,” by its vividness and energy,
strangely recalls the active figure, and brave
French accent, of the gritty little monkey -
fighter who has amused us with his lectures.

Tbe Pardon of renlan Convicts in
En glanti.
London, Feb. 25.— 1 n the House of Commons
inquiry was made as to whether the usual legil
investigation before pardon had been mode, in the
*att s of the Fenian convicts recently released
from prison.
Mr. Fortcecuc replied that what Investigation
t!ho government had made was quite sufflciont,as
thew cates'differed from the ordinary commpta
tfon of sentences. ■ -
;In reply to a question,Mr. Munsell said that ne
gotiations for a settlement betwpenthe Hudson a
Bay Company and the Dominion; of Canada
were still pending, and it Was undesirable ;to
make statements as to ;;the'j prospect pi
building a telegraph line through.';, the territory
of the Company to connect the Atlantic with the
Pacific, until a complete . adjustment was
reached. , „ ' ...
In reply to a question of Mr. Torrens, Mr.
Ottway stated that the government had received
no authentic advices of the rejection of the Ala
bama Convention by the United States, nor had
It any information whatever In regard to the
ratification of the naturalization proctoeol.
LETTER I'HOR TRENTON.
Dew Jersey Legislature—Supreme
Court.
[Correspondence of the PhUadclphia Evening Bulletin.] |
Trbkton, Feb. 25.— 1 n the Senate the special j
older of the day, the bill relative to transit duties, j
was taken up. Mr. Robbins offered a substitute
strikine ont all after tne enacting clause and sub
stituting therefor a bill which Is In conformity
with the provision recommended in the Gover
nor's message. It provides that from and after
tbe passage of this act, all transit duties, whether
on passengers or freight, shall be and are hereby
abolished. That all companies heretofore paying
transit duties to the State shall hereafter, annu
ally, pay to the Treasurer of this State a tax of
one half of one percent, upon the costs of their
respective works until the Legislature Shall, by
general law, impose a uniform State tax,
equally applicable to all railroad corporations
of tbiß State, and shall then pay each uniform
tax. And until such general law be passed, no
company heretofore paying transit duties shall
in ony year hereafter pay a less sum as tax to
tbe Stale, than that paid by It in the year 1868.
And that no other tax or imposts shall be leviod
or assessed on said companies. That this act
shall not apply to any corporation having a con
tract wilh this State In reference to taxation, un
less within three months from the passage hereof
of this act It be accepted by the Board of Directors
of such corporation, in place of said contract,
and a certificate of such acceptance under the
-corporate si-alofsneh corporatlon be filsd in ttic
office of the Secretary of State,which certificate,
or a duly certified copy thereof, shall be plenary
evidence ol such acceptance. In the House no
blits of public interest were acted upon.
In the Supremo Court, the case of Christian
Weber againßt the Morris and Essex Railroad, for
burring a house, is to bo decided during the term.
The Joint Democratic caucus, which was held
last night, nominated for State Prison Keeper,
David Hennion, of Passaic; and Daniel Bndd, of
Morris, Btote Director of the Camden and Am
boy Railroad.
Tbe I.ucuy I'ennsylvanlaUt
Washington, Feb. 25.—Among the numerous
callers at General Grant’s headquarters this
morning was A. K. McClure, of Pennsylvania.
Mr. McClure asked General Grant directly If he
world not appoint Governor Curtin to a place in
Ms Cabinet. The General replied that it would
be impossible for him to do so. ‘
Colonel McClure then said in that case he felt
compelled to eav, that to give satisfaction In
Pt ursylvania, the' appointment mußt be given to
pome man who had been prominently identified
with the Republican party, and an activepoli
tician. To Ulnstrato what he meant, he said it
must be no such men as George H. Stuart. Borie,
Bmith, or West. General Grant instantly replied
thiit he could not see what objection any loyal
man could have to such a man as George H.
Stuart, who had done so much for the country
and was so widely known.
Mr. McClure then made some remarks about
the proFpect; that if such an appointment were
to be made, the Republican party would be de
ieated in the Pennsylvania election for Governor
next fall.
To which Grant replied : “I am not myself the
representative of ony political party, although
a political party elected me.”
Mr. McClure said he hoped General Grant
would sometime introduce him to Mr. Stuart,
for though he (McClure) had been in politics In
Pennsylvania a dozen years, he did not know
him.
Gen. Grant replied:
“I would not have you to understand that Mr.
Stuart is the man selected.”
Tbe Interview has been much talked of about
the capital to-day, and Mr. McClure says ba has
no donbt, from what was said, that Mr. Stuart
is the Pennsylvanian selected for the Cabinet.
Tbe Constitutional Amendment.
Washington, Feb. 25.— Tbe Constitutional
Amendment, as agreed to by the Conference
Committee, is as follows: The right of citizens
of the United States to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States, nor by any State,
on account of race, color, or previous condition
of servitude.

Allow MO to call TOM attention to my PHEPAB ATION
OF COMPOUND EXTRACT BUCHU. The component
parts are BUCHU, Long Leaf, GUBEBS, JUNIPER
BERRIES.
Mode or Preparatiob.— Buchu, In vacuo. Juniper
Berrios, by distillation, to form a fine gin. Cubebe ex-
tracted by displacement by liquor obtained from Juniper
Berries, containing very little sugar, a small proportion of
spirit, and more palatable than any now in use. The
active properties are by this mode extracted.
Buchu. as prepared by Druggists generally, is of a dark
color. It Is a plant that emits its fragrance; the action ol
a Same destroys this (its active principle), leaving a dark
and glutinous decoction. Mine Is the color of Ingredients
The Bucha In my preparation predominates; the smallest
quantity of the other ingredients are added, to prevenl
fermentation; upon Inspection, it will be found not to be
a Tincturo, as made In Fhnrmacopcea, nor is It a Syrup—
and therefore [can bo used In cases where fever or lnflam-
mationlexlsts. In this orou hove the knowledge o the
ingredients and the mode of preparation.
Hoping that you will favor it with a triahand that upon
inspection it will meet with tom approbation.

New Jersey Railroad Taxes,
Governor Randolph, of New Jersey, in a mes
sage to the Legislature of New Jersey, on Thurs
day, recommends the passage of a law to termi
nate the transit duties levied in that State upon
railway corporations. The message is as fol
lows :
'1 u the Senate and General A ssemblu — Gentlk
sits : The lime has arrived, in my judgment,
when a change can be safely and judiciously
msde in Ihe mode of taxation, as applied to cor
poraiicns upon which taxation has heretofore
been h vied by meauß of transit duties. I there
fore recommend to your honorable bodies the
enactment) of a law. upon the acceptation of
which by ihe comtauies now payiDg Iranßit du
ties (If such acceptance be requisite), all pay
ments by them of such duties, whether upon
passengers or freights, shall cease.
To adequately provide for an income to the
Blnle equal at least to that obtained Irom corpo
rations, provision should bo made for tbe estab
lishment of a just and uniform rate of taxation
upon all railroad and canal companies, subject at
all times to snob changes in the rale of taxation
as the Legislature may deem necessary or expe
dient to make. Provision should be made, how
ever, for the payment ol an amount per annum,
by existing corporations, equal to those paid by
them to the Stale for the year past. In guarding
the income of the State from diminution, tho pro
bable effect of the provision I have recommended
would bo to make, for the time being, a somewhat
unequal assessment upon existing corporations.
A number of reasons could be submitted, were it
ntci6sary, to show that the Inequality is more
apparent than real. Great care should, neverthe
less. be taken in tbe establishment of tbe new
system, that no real injustice is done to the cor
porations whose interests are to be affected by
its provisions.
Many important considerations will undoubt
edly suggest themselves in arranging the details
of an act so important to the State,and ultimately,
and not remotely, valuable to the corporations.
1 am convinced the present mode of obtaining
revenues by the imposition of transit duties is
inconsistent with the spirit of our people, the
more enlightened and just modes of taxation
experience bos developed, and unequal also in Its
operations upon our citizens. The operation of
the system, too, is cither persistently misunder
stood or willfully misinterpreted by citizens of
other States. I believe tho enactment of it law
containing the general princip’es I have recom
mended would leave tbe State free to pursue the
most liberal policy as to public Improvements,
and finally tend to turn the current of legislation
us regards taxation, toward a system more just
In Hb provisions and equitable iu its operations
than our tax laws of late years have seemed
to be.
For these reasons I urge your attention to the
recommendations I have tho honor to transmit to
your honorable bodies.
Respectfully submitted.
Theo. F. Randolph, Governor.
Affairs in Spain.
Maokid, Fob. 25.—1 n tbo Constituent Cortes,
the Droceedings on the occasion of tho passage
of the vole of thanks to the Presidential Ministry
were very Interesting. The ministers explained
their action towards the religions orders and tho
Church. It was stated that tho Jesuit College of
St. Vincent was suppressed because its members
were engaged in a conspiracy against the gov
ernment, and three of them wore accomplices in
the assassination of tho Govornor of Burgos.
Tbe orders directing the civil authorities to take
charge of certain articles of church property
were also explained, and justified on the ground
that tho proceedings of the clorleal party de
manded ihe interference of the government to pre
serve objects of art in tho churches.
After tho result of tho decision was announced,
General Serruno rose to speak and was greetod'
with prolonged cheers.
He made a tomperateand tranquillizing speech,
advising Iho Ministry to pursue a policy of con
ciliation inviow of the flrmly-rpoted and inexo
rable principles held by the majority of the Cortes.
As for himself, hepromiecd them loyalty, patriot
ism, and abnegation.
