NEW rI'EIJCATIQ.VS. Mr. J. Stuart Mill’s tract on Hie “Subjection *f W«iuen” is tlie lucubration of the most culti vated mind yet brought to bear on', the jwiTninmif, question of thccentury; tho“wcH man problem” has been treated' by other male writers with as much generosity and candor, but in Mr. Mill’s statement you find the calibre •f the statesman and scholar. Mr. Mill’s! view of the present status of woman,after ah ex amination of the historical development of so ciety, is that her subordination is an anomaly in modem legislation, a solitary breach of what has become of the fundamental law of civilized institutions, a single relic of a pre-. jpature'' "■ world of thought; ,as if a droid temple, or a great shrine of Jupiter, Occupied the site of St. Paid’s in Lon don, and received unintermitting daily wor ship while the Christian churches around were onlyresorted to on fasts and festivals. His picture of this subordination, which is not so very evident to the superficial eye until the'Se fcils o'fif are dwelt upon by a master, is pas sionately earnest and. sympathetic, and ex haustively minute. The essay, however, has its limitations, and exhibits no studied-out remedy for the abuses it so eloquently des cribes. As a preparatory address, to awaken the mind to the existing state of things, it could ‘ not be more stimulating. Lippincott & Co. have prepared an American edition in a neat book of 174 pages. Messrs. Lippincott & Co. have just published two stories of Irish history, by Mrs. Anna H. Dorsey, one called “Nora Brady’s Vow,” a modern'tale of a generous and virtuous Irish girl, whose heroism is delineated for the sake of vindicating and doing honor to her country women in our midst, and in which are de scribed, with considerable power, events of the outbreak of ’4B; the other a legend of ancient Irish story, called “Mona the Vestal,” the time being that of Saint. Patrick, and the aim a study of the introduction of Christianity. The two stories are bound together in a neat volume, and will be found attractive to all who love the generous Irish character. Mr. John 11. B. Latrobe has written, and Messrs. Lippincott have published,a condensed account of the wonders in various parts of France, Italy, Austria, Saxony, Prussia, the Tyrol, Switzerland, Holland, Belgium, England and Scotland. The systematic and intelligent, style in which these descriptions are strung to gether that an intelligent man may col lect a greater number of clear and useful im pressions in a six months’ scamper, than a dawdler could do in as many years. “Hints for Six Months in Europe” is the very hook for a tourist, who has not much time for study, to read in the *intervals of preparation for a similar journey. The “hints” tire precisely what the energetic traveler, who must “do” Europe by steam, needs to help him. Messrs. Lippincott & Co.’s recent religious publications have been well selected and admi rably got up. 'file “ Sunday Library ”is com pleted by lives of the two gland French re formers, the royal saint, Louis, and Calvin; the biographer is Guizot, and tlie translation all that can be desired. Tlie series covers almost all the developments of Christianity since it had a history, and tlie lives of such grand precursors as Seneca and M. Aurelius, in a beautiful set of five volumes by tlie most classic modern writers. It should lie added to the library of every pious reader.—“ Cot tage Piety Exemplified” is a touch ing narrative of two holy examples, such as “teach tlie rustic moralist to die,” in the lives of Mary and Bobert Dawsou, .obscure Christians of New England. Their memori alist. is tlie author of “Union to Christ,” “Love to God,” &c.—“ The. Christian Worker, a call to the Laity,” is a little book in which die author, Rev. Charles F. Beach, reminds ordi nary Christians how much may be done by their faithful example and attention to the prompt ings of duty, for the propagaf:ibn"of Christi anity in society. It is filled with eloquent ex hortation, incontrovertible argument, and pointed and refreshing religious anecdotes. It is inscribed to the Young Men’s Christian As sociation of Chicago. /Blunt’s “Key to the Holy Bible’* is a history ofjand commentary on tlie Script tires, valuable for its accuracy ami compactness. It has some extremely interesting notices, historical in char acter, of the inspired writers whose collective pens have, given ns the Bible. An able argu ment for the inspiration of the sacred writings follows, their object and the principles of their interpretation are discussed, and their power as a guide to faith is testified to,with special refer ence to the accepted formularies of the Epis copal Cluu cli. The account of the Apocryphal writings is short, but complete; and the little chapter on the Apocrypha of the New Testa ment is extremely interesting. There is an Appendix of Bibl* words that are becoming obsolete outside of .Scripture quotation, and a good index. This little manual of 150 pages contains a remarkable quantity of needful in foimatio'n anil sound argument. At the request of many subscribers. Mr. Zell now issues his i'trjtidar linri/clojH'tlia and Vnirersal Dirtiumirti at tiie rate of two num bers, or sixteen pages, a week. So far from exhibiting any retrogression, the work, under the editorship of Mr. Colange, appears to us to improve, number by number, in fulness and care. It certainly deserves, if human pains can command desert, its already wide and constantly increasing popularity. Nos. “It and JO, issued together, lie upon our table.

Mr. President and Gentlemen: —lt is my painful duty to mar these festivities - with the ■aiihpuncement of the death of one who wa§ «fijartous all—our tried and noble friend, the “Reliable •'Contraband*?’ To the world at Jgge’lhis,event will bring no sorrow, for the "wer. The hotel where I lodged, which had some thirty or forty guests, “took in” one London daily Times, a Manchester paper, and one other weekly. Of course, the first person who got the Times never resigned it until lie had read it through, and exhausted the patience of anybody else who imdertook to wait for it. There was no 'news stand near nor in tlie hotel —“the porter could border me a Tina s of tlie newsman reg'lar when lie came round, if I wished, as would be ready at breakfast.” Maiik Twain Some of my English friends smiled incredu lously at my assertion that our American busi ness men generally .subscribed Jorxfrom three to five daily papers, beside weeklies, and won dered why they wanted to read tlie news over so many times, and were also astonished to know that American coachmen read newspa pers while waiting for a fare, a porter while waiting for a job, or a handcart man at liis cart-stand : that they were always a prime ne cessity to passengers in cars and omnibuses, arid were studied, conned and perused at al most every interval of business, and occupied no small portion of the leisure hours of all classes of American citizens. The railroad stations in London are provided with good news stands, where tlie traveler may always obtain tlie daily and weekly newspajiers. and -also-a--good supply of excellent light literature. My foreign experience, thus far, however, lias strengthened my convictions that America is tlie land of newspapers. An Interesting: Exhibitior in I.ondon. An interesting exhibition is about to open in the Dudley Gallery of tiie Egyptian Hail, in London. Tiie numerous collections of the Palestine Exploration in and about .Jerusalem, with various antique relics from other parts of tiie Holy Land, brought home by Mr. Mc- Gregor, tin; geiitleman who made the recent remarkable voyage in the canoe Roll Boy upon tiie waters of .Syria and Palestine, have been arranged for general inspection, with a series of nearly three hundred and fifty photographic views, taken in ail parts of the eoiintrv. The London Tcdri/ruph says: ••Lieutenant, Warren, as is \\‘ell known, lias been industriously uncovering the very roots of tiie ancient, city in the service of the Pales tine Exploration Society. His subterranean labors have revealed wliat may lie called strati fied dewislfTilstory. He lias gone down ninety feet in one spot: and, at the corner of the Jlaratii especially, at the depth of eighty feet, helms disclosed the foundation-stones of) the old Temple, standing upon the living rock, besides chamber*,--walls, aqueducts, cisterns, and arches, which begin, after incredible toil, to range themselves into an intelligible plan re pealing to us the real Jerusalem of the past. Those excavations have carried hack research, indeed, to the days preceding Solomon; for in one spot a watercourse of masonry has been Pound passing under tiie tem ple wall itself, and there are relics in this exhibition which come from that very place. The bottom of the Birket Israil, or Pool of Bethesda, also contributes to the col lection, as well as the wall of Opliel and -the Tyropoium Valley; ami at the foot of the southeast angle of the Great Kainpart which now Sustains tiie mosques of Omar and Aksa have been unveiled stones bearing letters in cised with a chisel or painted in red. These have been studied by Mr. Deutsch, and de clared to he construction marks of the Phoeni cian masons who built the Temple. The fac similes ol them tints far brought home are very, much like the first attempt of a small/boy _to jnake.figures upon liis slatep-JtuCThey aiqr assuredly of immense antiquity, and no doubt they represent, as is, stated, tiie actual memo randa of tiie stone-layers of’ Tyre and Sidon, ‘who took the contract’ from Solomon the king to build his Temple. From similar mines of arelueological wealth Lieutenant. -Warren sends us in this exhibition tiie various fiiids hitherto exhumed. . “ Tiie treasure-trove is, of course, of different epochs and very varying importance. There is a square brick from beneath the Hill of Ophd kiln-baked, and coincs from the city as it existed at and before the time of Christ. By the.sidc of that rehc are deposited tliree or four hiUista balls, -roughly chipped out of stone, and' weighing from live to fifteen pounds, which were found in the debris of the,Tyropceum, and most probably were Hung into the city by the besieging army of Titus.

I.ife in a Frontier Fort. “Caius” writes from Fort Riley to the Army ami Xavy Journal: •‘lt was an unlooked-for day in the annals of the school that witnessed the, transformation of three of the light batteries into heavy cavalry, and that saw cannoneers and drivers turned into troopers. The men, accustomed only to the light sabre, grinned at a load made up of a Spencer carbine;twenty rounds of ammuunition, a large revolver, and a small haversack of ra tions; the horses, heavy, muscular fellows, showed unmistakable signs of dislike to the new business. There was a hurried consulta tion of cavalry tactics among officers, and there evidently wasn’t time enough given, for one commander was heard to tell a man to ‘limber up that carbine,’ and another man adjusting his lock was told to ‘quit thumbing that vent.' The command left for the Indian country in gallant array; but they left us very down hearted at die prospect of a lonely post. We hope that the record they will make will not detract from the past one. and that the Indians they meet will be completely astounded. If the latter shoot, maim or steal any horses of our section, we shall certainly start air independent crusade against them, regardless of Quakers. ‘‘Meanwhile the three-inch gnus and the twelves are in park, tile harness rests in the sacks, and we no more hear the rattle of the wheels as the brigade goes out to drill or re view. While they are winning fame and using up horse-flesh, we stay tit home and make explorations. To-day we were instructed to inspect certain unknown wilds on the reser vation, ‘with a view to ascertaining the growth indigenous to this part of Kansas,’ or words to that effect, We.tooik, fair note-book and pencil, mounted aigotliic mule, and started down a road which leads to tho ford. The current looked rapid, the river looked broad, but we remembered the instructions about fords in artillery tactics, hung on to our mule, and got through. Across the liver the way led through a plain,on which there are myriad’s of wild roses, which you cannot, avoid, and, therefore, dash through, scattering the rose buds right and left.. Then we go on by a nar row path into woods the most wild and dense imaginable, bending low in the saddle to avoid the tangled vines, crossing doer paths, clearing stumps covered with ivy or wild oak, finally halting in a little opening to breathe the fra grance of the blossoms and listen to the silence; and hv an instinct or a Providence, finding a mulberry tree with its purple fruit, cool, moist, and ripe. “Then returning, recrossing the river, with its swift waters coming full up to the saddle cloth, we ride up to the heights—the prairies which overlook all we. have left. Here, too, we find a vast variegated carpet of flowers, the; hues of scarlet and gold, of purple and orange, of blue and crimson and white, this uncnlieil garden, this parterre; how wo would like to place bouquets from it, upon the tallies of our eastern friends, and lo send with them some of the pure air that-gives toThese ftoryers their grace, their beauty and their perfume.?’ f THE FINE ARTS' Established. 1795.

A curious instance of legislative blundering appears in the act to extend the laws of the United States over the territory ceded to the United States by Russia, approved July 27, 1808. The sixth section of that law provides that it “shall be unlawful for any person or persons to kill any otter, mink, martin, sabli or fur seal, or other'fur-bearing animal, withiiT(he limits of said territory, or in the waters thereof; ami any person 'guilty thereof shall, for each oftencej on conviction/ be fined in any sum not less than $2OO nor more than $l,OOO, or im prisoned not more than six months, or both, at discretion of the Court; and all vessels, their tackle, apparel, furniture, and cargo, found en gaged in violation of this act shall be forfeited,” etc. That is to say, the killing of seals in the limits of the late Russian-American possessions is strictly prohibited, anti any person who shall lie convicted of such killing shall be fined or imprisoned, as provided, or both, and any ves sel which shall, in defiance of rill known rules of commerce and common sense, leave its “native element," as it is called, and take to dn land ,and slay these fur-bearing animals, shall Ire forfeited with all. its tackle, furniture, and soon. Now, when „a' man attempts to smuggle goods into any'port without paying duty, the goods are forfeited, and the vessel engaged in carrying the goods is also liable to the same jienalty. But-here is a case where, tbe vessel is only liable to condemnation when it has been convicted of the act of killing the fhr-boaring animals, while there is no provision whatever for the seizure or condemnation of the skins so illegally' procured. Steam rams might be employed to run down the inuoeen fur-seals, InU no vessels now in use in these waters will ever be forfeited for killing these animals. It is plain, however, that killing the Alaska fur-bearing creatures is illegal: but it will be difficult to enforce the law in the regions where it is designed to operate. The poor Aleuts who get a trifle for the skins have been in the habit of killing the animals and bringing the skins into the posts, where they are bought by agents. And if\ all the Aleuts in the seal islands were engaged in the business, there is no possible- way of stopping it at San Fran cisco. Neither factors who buy the skins, nor the vessels which bring them here, nor the skins themselves, are liable. It Is the person (or vessel) that kills the seal who alone incurs the penalty of the law, and until the slayer can he found, no penalty can be enforced. This is a blunder in legislation, and should lie reme died as soon as possible by making the traffic in these illegally procured skins also v illegal, just as llie reception of, and traffic in, smuggled goods is treated. And the prodigious clatter which lias been made by some newspapers re lative to the subject lias only exposed con siderable ignorance. It is by no means certain, however, that any violation of the law lias been made even bv the poor Aleuts. This act of Congress was'approved in July, 1808, atid not promulgated in Alaska’until November, 1808. The'Wiling season for that year was over long before tliat time.—Alfa California.

It is further stated that the new bonds issued to the railroads now in active (process of construction, which bonds are on the regular Stock Exchange list, will he ju dicially sanctioned.
