WEBBRB. LIPPINCOTT AND MESSRS.' HARPER. f Having sometime back published the letter of Mcsrn. J. B. Eippincott & Co. to the Lon don Mhcnaum, and afterwards (on the 19th nit.) the rejoinder from Harper ■& Bros., we make room for the explanation in fall of the Philadelphia firm. This explanation gives the other side of the Btbry that the latter house retained a mis-directed case, intended for the Harpers, in the full knowledge of its true destination; answers the other charges in de r tail; revives a counter-charge in relation to TrolWpe’s North America , a charge never answered by the Harpers; and closes with a sentiment—the only sentiment upon which all can agree in peace—in favor of interna- tional copyright: “On January Ist, 1 wrote a letter to the ' London Athenaeum, stating that it was our custom, when publishing English books, to make; if possible, a special arrangement with the author, of otherwise to lay aside a portion of the profits resulting from the pub lication' fof ins use- and charging Messrs. Harper & Brothers with violating what is known as the ‘courtesies of the trade,’ by reprinting Mr. Dilke’s Greater Britain, which we had previously published under a copyright arrangement with Messrs. Mac milihn Co., London, Mr. Dilke’s English publishers, and with Saving some time before reprinted Mr. Anthony Trollope’s North America, which we by / 4rrangement had been authorised to publish—an arrangement the’ existence of which was previously well known' to the Messrs. Harper; at the same time disclaiming any responsibility for injury to foreign .authorß that might arise from a system thus established. “About two months having elapsed since this statement, a reply to it has appeared in Harper's Weekly of March 37th. That re ply we propose to examine presently; but, before doing so, it is proper to dispose of a counter-charge thereto appended, viz.: that ‘in December’ we received a box containing the electrotypes of Cast Up by the Sea, and, «knowing that they were intended , for the Messrs. Harper's edition of the work, withheld them, and in January published the book [ourselves] at a low price.’ If we had known that the electrotypes were intended for Messrs. Harper’B edition of the work, and had withheld them on that account,it would have been, perhaps, a fitting retaliation for the wrong we were just then smarting under of the reprint by the Messrs. Harper of Dilke’s Greater Britain; but the statement is not quite exact. The precise facts are as follows: “Some time before, we had quietly sub mitted to the Messrs. Harper publishing and underselling our edition of Trollope’s North Affiericp; but when they reprinted Greater Britain, another book on which we had engaged to pay a copyright, we fel their action to be a wrong which, there being no legal redress, demanded some reprisal on our part. Accordingly, we fixed upon Cast Up by the Sea as a suitable book to repub lish,-r-it having been announced by the Messrs. Harper, and we being under the im pression that they had purchased the early sheetßj and that no other person had any pecuniary interest in the sale of the book in the United States- and had the work set, stereotyped and printed in our own office. On the Bth of January we published it, at what Messrs. Harper & Brothers ore pleased to call a low price. Our edition was nearly ready, the wood-cuts having been engraved in Philadelphia, when, on the Ist of January (not in December, as stated in Harper's Weekly), there was delivered at our etore a box from London, having no other marks than our address, the expreßß company’s labels, and the custom house stencils. We had no previous advice of it. It was opened, and found to contain ten electrotypes of illustrations, without let terings, for Cast Up by the Sea. Think ing it probable that some break had occurred in the arrangement between Messrs. Harper and the Messrs. Maomillan & Co., we waited a reasonable time, expecting to hear from London about theße electrotypes. On the 13th, having received no communication on the subject,, we wrote Messrs. Macmillan & Co., asking for an explanation, to which they replied, on January 30th, that the box had been addressed to us instead of Messrs. Harper & Brothers, for whom it was in tended. We at once notified the Messrs. Harper that we would forward the box to them on teceipl of the expenses paid by us. We respectfully submit that this was our only proper course under the olroumßtanoes. “In the article iu their Weekly of March 27th, the Messrs. Harper further assert that our edition ofyiuZiocr’s Kovels is issued ‘notwith standing the mutually satisfactory arrange ment between Lord Lytton’ and themßelves; but it is so obvious that no ‘courtesy of the trade' attaches to a series of books reprinted by two houses —Messrs. Phillips, Sampson ii Co. published an edition as well as the Messrs. Harper,—the first of which was issued in 1 828, that it is only necessary to re mark here, that when the plates of our Uni form Library Edition of Bulwer’s Novels (in 42 vols.) were offered to ub at a fair price Dy the stereotyper, knowing that a complete and unijorm edition was a desideratum in the American market, we bought and pub lished them. “Having disposed of the counter-charges .made.by the Messrs. Harper, we beg leave once more to call the attention of the public to the two cases originally mentioned by us ■in the Athenamm, of direct violation by the Messrs. Harper of ‘the courtesies of the trade.’ “Ist They do not deny that our edition of Greater Britain was announced in May, 1868; “2d. They do not deny that immediately on their own announcement they were noti fied by letter that we had made an ar rangement for it with the English publishers; and “.'id. They do not deny that they never theless persisted in reprinting it. Their ad mission of these points we hold to be suffi cient to sustain our complaint in regard to Greater Britain r “But there was another charge brought by aa in our letter of January Ist, viz.: that the Messrs. Harper had previously, in like viola tion of our rights, under the usage of the trade, republished an edition of Trollope’s Forth America, after they had been made aware, through a personal interview, that vie, had entered into an exclusive arrangement With the author for its publication in this country. To this BtatemeDt the Messrs. Harper mate no reply whatever, and we are -justified in inferring that their course in the matter is inexcusable. “Furthermore.we would ssy tbat,by sDecia’. arrangement with the author, we recently; published Her) Majesty'B flower, py Mr. W« Hcpworlh Dixon. ■£. fewdays after the ap pearance of our edition , the, Messrs. Harpers issued an edition of the same,work innn in-, ferior style, at a nominal price, compelling ua to reduce ours to the Eame price, thua pre venting any remuneration to either author or publishers that otherwise might have been derived froth tbe sale of the work. “Here we might close;but a review of these facta naturally suggests the reflection that the interests of the book-trade in this country, no leaß than the protection of authors, in their just rights, require further legislation at the hands Of Congress. It is high time for the passage of a well-considered International Copyright Law, such as will wipe away from ohr country the reproach bf what are known as ‘pirated’ editions. . “J. B. LII’I'INOOTT & Co. “Piiii AUELi’iiiA, March 27, JBCU.” (From the Saturday Roview.) CHARMING WOMEN There are certain women who are invaria bly spoken of eb charming. We never hear any other epithet applied to them. They are not said to te pretty, nor amiable, nor clever, though they may be all three, but simply charming; which we may take as a kind of verbal amalgam, the concentration and con cretion of all praiie. The main feature about these charming women is their intense teml nality. There is no blurring of the outlines here; no confusion of qualities adnairable enough in themselves but slightly out oi place considering the sex; no Amaeonian virtues which leave one in doubt as to whether we have not before ub a youth in petticoats rather than a soft and tender woman. A charming woman is woman all over, one who places her glory in being a woman, and has no desire to be anything else. She is a woman rather than a human being, and a lady rather than a woman. One of her characteristics is the softness and exquisite grace of her man ner which so sweetly represents the tender nßture within. She has not an angle any where. 11 she were to be expressed geomet rically, Hogarth's Line oi Beauty is the sole figure that could be used for her. She is flowing, graceful, bending in mind as in body; she is .neither Belf-asserting nor aggres sive, neither rigid nor narrow; she is a creature who glides gracefully through life, and adjusts herself to hqr company and her circumstances in a manner little less than marvellous; working her own way with out tumult) or sharpness, creeping round in superable obstacles,and quietly wearing down more friable opposition with that gentle per sistency which does so much more than tur moil and disturbance. Even if enthusiastic — w hich she is for art, either as music, as painting, or as poetry —she is enthusiastic in such a sweet and graceful way that no one can be offended by a fire which shines and does not burn. There is no touch of scorn about her, and no assumption of superior knowledge.. She speaks to you, poor igno rant Philistines, with the most flattering con viotion that you follow her in all her flights; and when she comes out, quite naturally, wiih her pretty little bits of recondite lore or professional technicalities, you cannot be so boorish as to ask for an explanation of these everyday matters, which she makes so sure you mußt understand. Are you not an edu cated person with a soul to be saved, and can you then be ignorant of things with which every one of culture is familiar ? She dis courses confidentially of musicians and paint ers unknown to fame, and speaks as if she knew the secret doings of the Conservatoire and the R. A. .council-chamber alike. The models and the methods, the loves and the hates, of the whole artistic world are to her tbings.of everyday life, and you cannot tell her that she is shooting her delicate shafts wide of the mark, and that you know no more ot what she means than if she were talking in the choicest Arabic. If she has been abroad—and she generally has been more or less — B he will pour out her tender little rhap sodies about palazzi and ville of which you have never heard, but every room of which she aßßumesyou know by heart; and she will speak of outrof-the-way churches, and grim old castles perched upon vine-clad mounts, as if you were as well acquainted with them ns with your native hamlet; and she will bring into her discourse all manner of Italian technicalities,aß if yon understood the subject as well as she herself understands it; though your learning is limited to a knowledge of how much was done in jute and tallow, or how many pockets of hops went off in the market last week. If she has a liking lor high life and titles—and what charming wo man has not?—Bhe will mention the names of all manner of counts and dukes and monsignori unknown to English so -1 ciety, as though they were her i brothers; but if you were to Interrupt the i gentle ripple of her speech with such rude t nceakwaterß as “who?" and “what?” the I charming woman would think you a horrid ' ] bore, and no man would willingly face that One may be a rhinoceros in one’s own haunts, but, as the fable tells us,even rhinoceroses are ashamed of their parentage when among gazelles. Never self-asserting, never contra dictory, only sweetly and tenderly putting you right when you blunder, the charming woman nevertheless always makes you feel her superiority. True, she layß herself as it were at your leet, and gives you a thousand delicate flatteries —indeed among her specialities is that of being able to set you on good terms with yourself, and her art of subtle flattery; but despite her own self-abasement and your ex altations you cannot but feel that she is your superior, and that although she is too charm ing to acknowledge what would wound your pride, yet she feels it too, and tries to hide it. All which has the effect of making you ad mire her still more for the grace and luct she has displayed. The charming woman is generally noto rlously in love with her husband, who is al most always inferior to her in birth, acquire ments, manner or appearance. This affec tion of hers only shows her feminine qualities of sacrifice and wifely devotion to greater ad vantage, and makes other men envy more ferociously ihe lucky fellow who has drawn Buch a prize. The husband of a charming woman is indeed lucky in tho world’s esteem; no man more so. Though he may be one of the most ordinary, perhaps unpleasant, fel lows you know, with a sour face, an under bred air, and by no means famous iu his special sphere, his wife speaks of him enthu siastically as so good, so clever, so delightful; no one knows how good he is, she says, though of course he has his little peculiarities of temper, and the rest of it, and perhaps every one would not bear with them as she does. But then she knows him, and knows his wonderful worth and value I If they are not seen much together that comes from causes over which they have no control, not from anything like disinclination to each other’s society. Certainly, for so happy a marriage, it is a little surprising how very Beldam they: are together; and how. all her friendß are hers only and not his, and how much she goes into society without him. On the whole, counting hours, they live very much more apart than united; but that is the misfortune ol his career, of his health, or of hers —a misfortune duo to any cause but that of diversity of tastes and fnharmoniousness of pursuits. Full of home affection and the tenderest sentiment as she is', the charming woman docs sometimes the oddest-looking THE DAILY EVENING BTTTiIrETIN—PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY,4?IIIL 2, 1869. 'things, which a rough littlo creature without graceful pretensionawouldnot dream .qf doing. Her child is lyin|j| dangerously ill> perhaps dy mg, and she appears Tat the grand ball of the season, subdued certainly —how well that ; sweet melan choly becomes her IS— but always graceful, always thoughtful for others, and attentive; and though,-indeed, she will tell you, she does not know how she got dressed at all, she is in such a state ofcruel anxiety, yet she is undeniably the beßt dressed woman in the room,and the most carefully appointed. It is against her own will that she is there, you may be sure, but' she MS Men forced to sacrifice herself, and tear herself away for an hour. The exigencies of .society are sp merciless—the world is such a ter rible Juggernaut, '-'raising -her eyes with plaintive,; earnestness ,to yours id the breathing timesthe waltz. She has another trial 'if htir‘Husband is or dered out to Canada or the :West Indies. Dearly as she loves him, and i though sho is heartbroken at the idea of the separation, yet her Health cannot stand the Climate, and she must obey her doctor’s orders. She is so delicate, you know—all charming women are delicate—and the doctor tells, her she could not live six months either in Toronto or Port Royal. If he had to go on diplomatic service to St. Petersburgh or Madrid, she might be able to stand the climate then; but that is dif ferent. A dull station, without any of her favorite pleasures, would be more than she could bear; so she remains behind, goes out greatly into society, and writes her husband tender and amusing letters once a month. The charming woman is the gentlest of her sex. She would not do a cruel thing or say an unkind word for the world. When she tells you the unpleasant things which ill natured people have said of your friendß or hers, she tells them in the sweetest and dear est way imaginable. Bhe is so sure there is not a syllable of truth in it all; and what a shame it is that people should be so ill natured ! In the gentle tone of sympathy and deprecation peculiar to her, she gives yon all the ugly and uncomfortable reports that hßve come to her, of which you have never heard a breath until this moment; yet it is you who are stupid, for she tells them to you as if they were of patent notoriety to the whole world; only she does not believe them, remember 1 She takes the moat scrupulous care to deny and defend as she retails, ana you cannot class her with the tribe of the ill-natured whom Bhe censures, setting, as she does, the whole strength of her gentle words and generous disbelief to oppose these ugly rumors. Yet you wißh she had not told you. Her d.s claimers spring so evidently from the affec tionate amiability of her own mind, which cannot bear to think evil, that they have not much effect upon you. The excuse dies away from your memory,but.the ill-savored report roots, and you feel that you have lost your respect for your former friends forever; or,if they were only hers, that nothing should tempt you to know them. There is no smoke without some fire, you think; and the charm ing woman cannot possibly have kindled the flame herself out of sticks and leaves and rubbish of her own collecting. But how sweet and charitable she waß when she told you! how much you love her for her tender ness ef nature! what a guileless and delightful creature she is! The charming woman is kind and graceful, but she does not command the stronger vir tues. She flitters sweetly, but, it mu3t be confessed, she fibs as sweetly. She some times owns to this, but only to fibs that do more good than barm—fibs into which she is forced for the sake of peace, and to avoid mischief. It is a feminine privilege,she says; and men agree with her. Truth at all times, bold, uncompromising, stern-faced truth, is coarse and indelicate, she says; a masculine quality as little fitted for women as courage or great bodily strength. Her hus band knows that she fibs; her friends at times find her out too; but though the women throw it at her as an accusation, the men accept it as a quality without Which she would be less the charming woman that she is; and not only forgive it, but like her the better for the grace and tact and suppleness she displays in the process of manufacture. Hers are not the severer virtues, but the gentler, the more in sinuating; and absolute truth—truth at any price and on all occasions—does not come into the lint. CharmiDg womefi, with their plastic manners and non-aggressive force, always have their own way in the end. They are the women Who influence by unseen methods, and who shrink from any open dis play of power. They Know that their metier is to soothe men,to put them on g iod terms with themselves, and so get the benefit of the good humor they induce; and they dread nothing so much as a contest ot wills. They coax and flatter for their rights, and consequently they are given privi leges in excess of their rights; whereas thd women who take their rights, as things to which they are entitled without favor, lose them and their privileges together. This art of self-abasement for future exal tation is one which it is given only to few to carry to perfection, but no woman is really charming without it. in fact it,is part of her power; and she knows it. Though charm ing women are decidedly the favorites with men, they are careful to keep on good terms with their own sex; and in society you may often see them almost ostentatiously sur rounded by women only, whom they tike pains to please, or exert themselves to amuse, but whom they throw into the shade in tfte most astonishing way. Whatever these really charming women are, or do, or wear, is ex actly the right thing; aad every other woman fails' in proportion to the distance she is re moved from this model. If a charming woman is dressed richly, the simpler costumes other friends look poor and mean; if she is a la bergire, the Court dresses about her are vulgar: if she is gay, quietness is dullness; if she is quiet, laughter ie coarse. Aad there is no ÜBe in imitating her. She is the very Will-o’-the-Wisp of her circle, and no sooner shows her light here than she flits away therejshe has no sooner set one fashion, which her admiring friends have adopted with infinite pains and trouble, than she has struck out a new one, which renders all the previous labor in vain. This is part of her veiy essence; and the originality which is simply perfection that cannot be repeated, and not eccentricity that no one will imitate, comes in as one of t >e finest and most potent of her charms. When she lends her patterns to her friends, or tells them thia or that little secret, she laughs in her heart, knowing that she has shown them a path tney cannot possi bly follow, and raised np a standard they cannot attain. ADd even should they do either, then she knows that, by the time they have begun to get up to her, she will be miles away, and that no art whatever can approximate them to her as she is. What she wqb she tosses among them as a worn-oat garment; and remains still the unapproach able, the inimitable, the charming woman par excellence of her set, whom none can rival. Ttac o(jr<3ss of Monlauban. The Saturday Review thus comments on the conviction, with a plea of “extenuating circunkstances,” of the woman Delpech, in Whose cellar were found nine infant skele tons, victims of abortion: As far aB tho Court went, the Ogress—for this is tho nickname which Delpech has ac- auited—-overdid her fictitious madness. But, as regards; the jjury, ' she i,® ucc ®f Kindwing Ihenature of French folks, so sus ceptible p of theatrical had recourse to all the advantages which art and ■ nature gave her. She appears to be a preter naturally hideous woman, and she is depicted in the report with remarkable powers of per sonal description. which leadl ua to suspect that the artists of the Daily Telegraph were subsidized for the occasion. In picturesque but hot engaging language we are tremendous black eyebrows, and her head turbaned with a yellow handkerchief; her huge prominent nose, fort' et tin peu plon geanl; the hideous space between her broad nostrils and ; frightful- - mouth, traversed by cavernous wrinkles; ana her charms arc accentuated by long, sharp, bestial teeth, and a huge chin, whiok com pletes a savage and animal jaw. To the value of these personal advantages for playing the maniac, our agreeable Delpech was not in sensible; throughout the trial she grinned, she crow led, she laughed demoniac laughter, and alternated with copious floods of tears; and for the two operations she kept two separate handkerchiefs, one to muffle her sobs ot grief, and one to Btifle her hilarity.
