Sometimes an almost t pare' satirist, sometimes an almost perfect lyrist,i]Bt Is the irony of fate that this rare creature is bound to go down to posterity as the author of the Biglow Papers and of some precioufFejaculations. There is a sermon in i, the career of Lowell, and that is that the man j£ u .born with the art-facnlty is bound to make Jga the Choice of Hercules, or he is .derelict in duty to his own heart and the world. The poet Capable of the Ode to Happiness' and of the Commemoration Ode might, if he bad been faithful, acquired a sustained art which would have!? tamped the age with some seal of power, f' instead of leaving as an achievement only this dewriMf* exquisite drops clustered around a' funny” squib. How much Lowell f and Hornes have lost by a determined adilic- rather dried and creaking Boston ioni&fiiie! Sien Thackeray was writing his “Book of s ” in a safe and saucy obscurity, he cared littlejfor the intense publicity that should one fdiiiiie upon him, giving distinctness to his ' desultory writings, and making them ot “in that fierce light that beats upon ” of.'any kind. Certainly, his. up heaval of the word snob from slang into dic- tionary English was a revelation of strength ; but just as certainly, his co'nfession of lying about by ilay in the of country houses, spying out the poor feminine make shifts and pretences of the ladies who were en tertaining him with their best, is just what leaves the worst taste in the readers mouth of anything in his writings, is the bitterest nut for his admirers, and the most unsavory offence he ccrrmirted. In the third volume of the ** Household Edition ” these “ Snobs ” are fol lowed by “Mr. Brown’s Letteis,” “Dennis Duval ” and the Notes which conjecturally complete that truncated masterpiece, “ Men’s Wives,” “The Bedford Row Conspiracy,” and that Odyssey of mean intrigue, “The Fatal Boots.” Two more volumes will finish the miscellany series, and therefore the, entire works of Thackeray in this edition. ' In a precisely similar edition of two volumes, the works of the novelist’s gifted daughter are completed. The second volume begins with “The Story of Elizabeth,” published in the Comhill, we believe diming the father’s super intendency of that periodical. A fine insight, cultured expression, and ladylike rapidity of thought drew attention to this Charming story, , and prepared expectation for its successors. Five fairy-tales, prepared for and dedicated to five young friends by Miss Thackeray,give a new turn and a modern brilliancy to such loveable old legends as Riding-Hood and Cinderella. They follow “Elizabeth” in this collection. "The Village on the Cliff,” and some of the. Miscellanies which complement it in the first volume, show the author’s intimate and genial acquaintance with' continental life; anil every sentence of. every work shows acuteness, >,* brightness, observation, culture and feminine / _ , spell. Of aseverer cast is “A Physician’s Problems.” An English physician, Charles Elam, M. I)., M. R. C. P., is the author of this work, which possesses a strange fascination, since it sheds the light of scientific research and cultivated thought upon that border-land between physi ology and psychology inhabited by the plieno 'fjniena of hypochondria, illusion and Dr. Elam’s observations have been clgse accurate; he constantly refers to his-, torical facts with the familiarity of a man of wide reading. The learned Doctor remarks'in his,preface: “The following Essays are in tended as a contribution to the Natural History ■'"of : those outlying regions of Thought and Action, whose domain is the ‘ debatable ground’ of Brain, Nerve and Hind. They are .designed also to indicate the origin and mode -of perpetuation of those varieties of organiza tion,intelligence and general tendenciestowards nsjcejj. or virtue, which seem, on a superficial vif.W, to be so irregularly and capriciously •dgvlloped and distributed in families, and ‘'; sais*pgst mankind. Subsidiarily, they point to catpes for the infinitely varied forms of disor nerve aiid brain,—organic and func- deeper and more recondite than tlifese’,generally believed incauses that are elo'sSy, if not inextricably, connected with our ■!# nature on the one hand, and on the .daw with our social and political regulations.” w The .diopters form separate essays, having theftfillowing captions“Natural Heritage,’ r t<> Regenerations in Han,” “On Moral and % Epidemics,” “Illusions and Halluci the««£-’•’.?’he Denton of Socrates,” “The i' ' Sal,” “ On Somnambulism,” and .that .yhstracUon.*’ From the rich | ■’ that af Ja Jfcondite facts accumulated here, B 1 *? - M \ C - one of our earliest pleasures to select ,h ?SedinenB to be shared with our readers. . -——— Fields, Osgood & Co., also issue Ald ■ Dili’s “Story Of a Bad Boy,” sopopular wjththe Ircaders'of Cur Young Folks.

These vecipes are 274 in number; there are a dozen soups,,as maliy modes of cooking fish, a score of side dishes, the usual style of washing, and a considerable number of directions for pastry and confectiouei-y. A few miscellaneous recipes in domestic medicine and eoonomy terminate the collection. This cheap little manual, without containing anything very new or original, will set the commissariat depart ment fight on almost any question of “plain roast and boiled." The book is signed “A. L.

The occasion is the signature of the contract be tween M. Victor Hugo and M. Lacroix, for the publication of “L’Homme Qui Rit.” “Messrs. Hugo and Lacroix began by break fasting together. At the dessert, M. Lacroix drew out his contract and $20,000. M. Hugo counted the money, read the contract, dipped his pen in the. ink, and wrote the first letter of his name. He suddenly stopped, and said: ‘Ah 1 I beg your pardon, my dear sir; I for got to ask you—.’ M. Lacroix became very pale. He had had hard work and several days’ battle to get his partners to agree., to pay $20,000 a volume for the forthcoming - work;. what could M. Hugo ask now? M. Hugo said: ‘Do not be alarmed; I refer to a mere trifle. My two sons have each a volume ready for the press ; you will take and publish them; it is a bargain. They will only ask you $BOO apiece, for them.’ What could M. Lacroix do ? The knife was pointed at his heart. He said, ‘I take them.’ M. Victor Hugo took up the pen again, but again hesitated, and said, point ing to the bank notes on the table: ‘A thou sand pardons. We have there only $20,000; we ought to have $21,000;’ M. Lacroix was obliged to go for the $1,600 before M. Hugo would sign the contract.” —M, Cham (his real name is de Noe; hence his name, which is the French for Shem, as he is Noah’s son) invariably carries twenty-four sketches to the newspaper, for which he has to provide twelve humorous wood-cuts, and the editor selects the dozen of the twenty-four which he thinks the best. —54,000 are required for the. statue to de La martine ; only $3,008 00 have been procured. The monument will be by M. Adam Salomon. He lias already completed the clay model. He represents M. de Lamartine standing; he bares his breast with his left aim, and with liis right waves back the red flag; an ample cloak falls from his shoulders. The base of the statue will be adorned with allegorical statues of Eloquence, Poetry, History, and Fraternity. Some singular and amusing specimens of' telegraphic incomprehensibility have been re cently furnishing by the new Indo-Kussian line which was opened a few weeks since. The Bombay Gazette says: “It is but due to it that we should acknowledge in our overland sum mary the remarkable service it lias rendered to India as a means of transmitting public news and private advices,” anil thereupon gives several specimens of Reuter’s despatches from London, as they were received in Bombay.

These are about the hardest' tohnhdfums we have ever tried, and failed, to guess. " On Tuesday one of the divers employed at the Landing Tier works, Douglass, while en gaged in laying the concrete blocks under water, met with a startling adventure. An im mense fish, probably as much astonished as the diver himself, presented itself witli extended jaws in the attitude of attack, and but for the presence of mind of the diver would probably have seized one of the limbs of the submarine woikman, and, with its formidable array of toetli, have instantly cut, through the india rubber dress. The diver, as when usually en gaged below water, was armed with the customary offensive weapons, one of which he promptly thrust into the reptile’s mouth, hut, retaining'his pre sence of mind while, disabling it, firmly kept his hold, and instantly signaling to. the man in charge of the ptimp, was rapidly drawn to the surface, bringing at the same time-the van quished fish.

The case of tlie Commonwealth vs. the Credit Flobilier of America was considered in the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin county yesterday. It came up on an appeal from the settlement of the Anditof-Generaland State 'i'reasuer. L. W. Hall, representing In connection with jj the Attorney-General the •Commonwealth, offered tlie account of the State against the defendant, claiming au amount due the Stole of $520,540 S 7. Tlie ; original settlement showed a balance in favor ■of the State of $2,820,000, but by a re-settle ment, made on July 14, last, the claim was re duced, to the above amount. C. McMurtrie, in tlie absence of E. M. Stanton, his colleague, alone represented the defendant, and opened with a history of the origin and purpose of the Credit Slohilier. The corporation originally existed as the Pennsylvania Fiscal Association, but its name was afterwards changed to its present style,and it then became instrumental • in building the Union Pacific Ifailroad, after tlie road had passed the 100th meridian, where it obtained the subsidy promised by Congress to the rail way first reaching that point. A contract was made by Oakes -Ames to'build 060 miles of road, and by hint assigned to seven trustees, who agreed to construct the road for the dis tance, andon condition that |he Credit Mo bilier would guarantee the performance of tlie contract and advance the money there for, the trustees promised to pay the Credit Mobilier a commission of 21 per cent, and interest on the money advanced for July, 3808. Tlie Attorney-General filed a quo war ranto to inquire into the validity of the corpo rate existence of the Credit Mobilier, and its credit being thus impaired, it was unable to supply tlie amount of money required to carry on the contract, and it then released to the trustees the part of the contract, on condition that it should not be liable for any efaims for damage. The real question involved is, what were its real earnings as a corporation during' tlie year 1808 ? Witnesses for the defence have been called to prove that during that time no profits were earned and divided by this company. The case will he continued to-day, New Colonies In South America. A Duenos Ayres paper reports the progress of tlie new colonies in La Plata,' which occupy settlements between Cordova and Santa Ft. A company lias purchased a tract of land which is sold to immigrants at low prices, and an agent is now in Europe perfecting a system of colo nization. He writes: “When two or three or more distinct settle ments will have formed on tlie land between Koldan and Canada de Gomez, all the rest wig prove, well'worth the twenty hard dollars. The terms can he modified by paying only half the passage,and allowing a shorter time for its repay ment, and every one interested will derive the most benefit possible from the arrangement ; She .company from .the increased value of its lands and the additional traffic on the line, and the settlers through being able to keep the j. small capital, add devote it to improving their lands instead of spending it on passages, .This plan insures the best class of settlers, for With such liberal terms we have a right to expect respectable families, T “So it is, of importance to establish two col onies as soon as possible. I have selected 'Switzerland as a starting point, and have come here to begin, as I can succeed here more quickly and easily; afterwards I will try the i English, Norwegians and Germans.” Volcanic Activity la Europe. fFromtho London News of thsfttb.l , The earthquakes in Germany and in the neighborhood of the Sea of Azov indicate that the subterranean forces of the European vol canic districts-are - beginning to rouse them selves after tho long rest which followed the great combined outbreak of Vesuvius and ./Etna nearly d year ago. That outbreak would seem to have completely relieved the subterra nean districts which communicate with the Italian volcanoes; and the quiescence which was observed throughout the whole of Southern and Central Europe shows that (as had been suspected) the districts which so communicate are very extensive. Some time back, how ever, those who* watch, , the indications of the Italian volcanoes announced their belief that the state of quiescence which Rad lasted so many months was about to be disturbed. The Naples correspondent of the Athermum, writing on the 21st of September, saidj: “Our mountain is big with menace to the crowded population on Its sides, or of warning as to' what may. be happening at a distance. Thus shocks which were noted towards the end of July were a species of electric telegrams, an nouncing earthquakes in the Basilicas and Calabria, happily'hornless, except that they awakened considerable apprehension.” _ Pro fessor Palmieri, whose special province it ap pears to be to watch over the health of Vesuvius, has noted that recently the mountain has been far from show ing that state of quiescence which indicates tliat it has exhausted ■ its eruptive energies. “Vesuvius preserves a residium of activity,” he writes, “as is shown not only by the smoke which at times is copious, but by the abundant sublimates which are observable on tlie north side of the little cone, whence the last conflagration took place, and also by the. fire which, especially at night, is seen within tlie fissures of tlie old lava.” These sighs may appear insignificant to many, but in reality tliey are not so. Just as the seemingly insig nificant motion of tlie mercury in the barom eter is full of meaning to the seamen, so the smoke and flame from Vesuvius warns the in habitants of all Southern Europe to be pre pared for a renewal of the earth’s subterra nean activity.
