NEW FVELIC4TIONS.
Harper et BrOs. have "made a sudden sally"
and come out with a hasty edition of the
Poem's of Tennyson. It is
.Convenient' for
readifig, 'so far as the type goes, and the Page,
being a double-columned octave,, openS well
and tics flat beneath the ..ere.• It includes all
the acknowledged poetry , of the laureate, with
the contents of his last volume, " The Holy.
Grael and other, Poems. 7 These important
Anal works, by the by, owing to the centemPtu
, ins
4 biste, with which the edition is got up r
appear in the index under the heading Of "./ex
yerirrients," along with the " 0 .yott chorus of
indolent reviewers," and the specimen from.
the Iliad The chief singularity of the volume,
- however, is in the embellishinents.--Barper-&-
Bros. have not deemed the poems of Teenyion
eaflielently Important, to -he committed to an
editor having common intelligence, and some
tif the pictures are entirely misplaced';
for instance, Ulysses" is represented
as leaving Ithaca in what we beileve•
is a modern Italian felucca, bearing the flag of
United Italy ; luiclaccempanied by an ordinary
row-boat with sailors in contemporary dress.
Again, the engraving (from the best English
edition) really representing Arthur watched by •
weeping queens in Avalon is quite arbitrarily
applied to the "dying Islamite ; " so that the
queens, who have a great many Christian
erosses among their ornaments, and one of
whom holds the sword Excalibur, stand for
Mohammedan houris ! The illustrations,how
ever, if rather more learnedly applied, and if
they had been better transferred and printed,
would add to the popular merit of the edition;
they include three portraits of Tennyson, two
of v, hich are from photographs, and valuable,
while a third is imaginary and represents him
standing in white kids on a precipice of the
Isle of-Wight, his beard a foot before him and
his hair a yard behind / • bitterly weeping and
Wrapped in a stage-brigand's cloak. Some of
Dore'S strong, brutal illustrations to the Idylls
aro reduced for the volume, and we observe a
little caricature of Millais's singular and sug
' gestive illustration to the "Lady of Shalott.'!
How • long will the people of this coun
try, in their dumb, complacent igno
rance of things artistic, permit these
games „to be played 'with them
by their largest publishing house—laying hands
'on designs of different style and nationality
and-hurling them together, transferring, copy
ing by photography and then hacking them to
death with the graver, and afterwards misap
plying and falsely naming them? As another
element in the dignity of the edition, we ob
serve that the publishers in their haste, besides
indexing Tennyson's last great works as " Ex
periments," • have omitted to arrange these
"Idylls of the King" in their sequence, but have •
distributed them, in three portions, among the
rest of the poems, according to the date when
they were written.' This is as if an editor of
Lord Byron should print the cantos of" Childe
Harold," not consecutively, but in the order in
which they were put out, among Lord Byron's
occasional poems and letters. One fears to
think what sort • of a face Tennyson would
mike if by any chance this azure octavo should
come to his eye.—Sold by Turner Bros. & Co.
Harpers publish 3lackay's pamphlet about
Medora Leigh, which we have heretofore
abridged as delicately as we could. -It is hail
seous in two distinct and equally perfect ways;
first for its treatment of American character.
philanthropy' (as if that could be assailed at
this date) and politics; second, in hugging the
infectious story to which it is devoted.--Suld
by Turner Bros. ik Co.
Harpers likewise issue "A German Course,"
by Prof. Geo. F. Comfort, of Alleghany Col
lege, incorporating the most advanced views and
principles of linguistic construction. European
text-books, especially, have been ransacked fur
suggestions. This Course consists of practical
lessons for learning to read, write and speak
the language, familiar conversations and literary
fortis, a compend of German grammar, and
many geographical and monetary tables. It
appears to be remarkably well adapted foi
giving a practical acquaintance with German,
by a philosophic method, and shortening the
mastery of the language to the lowest terms
consistent with accuracy.—Sold by Turner

The True Story of Mts. Shakespeare's Life.
—William Shakespeare, the dissolute' young
Stratford tutcher, after falsely pretending a
love for Anne Hathaway, marries her and then
shocks her matronly mind by a brazen confes
sion of the most astounding history of mur
ders, which he insolently
proposes to her to
compound with him. He endeavors to bring
her to his own black views; On the continent,
be observes, midnight assassinations are
babituaLthings, and complaisant qmplesmutu
ally agree to form the cloak for each other's
murders. Mrs. Shakespeare only says.:
4 , Master S., I am too trulie thy firienie to doe
thisse." Upon that; our poet 'develops his
historic symptoms of frenzy. The goodwife is
not allowed to submit in peace to the most
inexorable trial of nature. Ile chooses her
moments of weakness for his tortures. Just
after the birth of the interesting Susannah, (a
child of sin who eventually becomes his ac
complice in assassination) he dashes in with
news of the death of his loving mother-in-law.
Upon the advent of Ilanniet, it is good Mr.
Hathaway who is gone ; and when the appear
ance of little Judith takes place, he suddenly
flies into the birth-chamber with intelligence
of the demise of that tender family friend
John it Combe. Mrs. Shakespeare's mind,
under these trying circumstances, displays
breadth. She guards her husband's secrets,
accepts will, magnanimity his bequest of the
second-best bed, and only when that lofty
Pilgrim Mother, Mrs. 11, B. Cherstow, (wife of
a certain les,s widely known but surely not less
deserting •pilgrim lather,) is about to leave
Warwickshire • to entbark in the Mayflower,
then lading at Southampton, does she commit
, nicae the history. This sho does in
conundrum form, by asking " if she has not a
responsibility to society for the truth ?" The

which will be devoured with avidity for its
tartness and fun. The allusions to crime

The Trial of 'll . ropertano.
[From the Pall Mall Gazette.]
PARIS, Tuesday, Dec. 28.—This morning
the too celebrated criminal Tropmann was
piked at the bar to take his trial,and at an early
hour the halls of the Valais de JustiCe were
crowded to excess with pushing younglawyers,
the fortunate possessors of tickets, and a large
number of the curious '
although all the avail
able space in court had long ago been appro
priated. Upon a large table in front of the
Judges were spread out the various pieces de
conviction which are to be used against the
prisoner: The clothes of each victim were
placed separately, and, in spite of the precau
tions taken, are reported to have been un
savory. This' exhibition of silk dresses, little
boots and bats, and a bit of bread and sausage,
which one of the Kinek children was eating
When it was struck down by the murderer,
created a painful impression. Alongside of
these relies were ranged the various instru
ments employed by Tropmanu in killing and
burying his victims.
At ten o'clock in the. forenoon the judges
entered the court, and, after the jury had been
sworn, the prisoner was Introduced. Ills arri
val produced an immense sensation, the spec
tators standing up to catch a clearer glimpse
of him. Tropmann is described as a small,
slight, and juvenile-looking man with a thin,
wearied kind of face, not very pale.. llis look
was rather timid than otherwise, owing, per-
Imps, to the fact of such a crowd gazing at him,
and his eyes seemed to seek out the - members
of the jury. During the reading of the indict
ment the prisoner evinced hardly any emotion,
and appeared to listen with the utmost indif
ference to the most terrible part of his crimes
—the killing of Madame Kinck and her two
youngest children. When asked his name
he replied in a tirni voice, placing his hands on
the bar tefore him, and it Was- then seen his
arms were unusually long, and indicated great
strength. It is thought thatl the trial will last
three days.
The intrrogation of the prisoner naturally
followed the line of the narrative in the in
dictment.. Tropmann told how he first became
acquainted with Jean Kinck at Roubaix, hoW
he urged him to join in a scheme for coining
false money in Alsace. and bow the two met
with this object in view at Bolwiller. The,
prisoner was repeatedly reminded of the fre-'
quent variations and contradictions of his story
as told in the different examinations. The fol
lo'vi ing will give soine 'idea of the scene:
Prisoner—One day—it was the ISth of May
—I was taking a walk when I came upon three
individuals scaling a wall in order to commit a
robbety ; they threatened me if I spoke, and
then proposed the plan of killing Muck.
Q.—Do you know them ? A.—N6; they
live at Mulhouse..
Q.—Tell us the names of the places where
you saw them. A.—l cannot. (Movement
of incredulity in cowl.)
Q.—Well, supposing that these accomplices
existed, bow happend it that you obtained all
that. Kiuck possessed? What share had your
accomplices' A.—They were to divide the
with me.
o.—That is the first time you have said so?
A.—Pardon; 1 have already told you. There
was a pocket-book which was buried at 150
Steps within the forest, near Cernay, at a depth
of tiifteen centinietres at the foot of a little tree.
In that pocket-bOok is the proof that Jean
Kinek came into Alsace to make false money.
That poeket-book contains the names of my
accomplices.
Q.—But why not give their names at once;
you don't need the pocket-book? A.—lf you
like to seek for it you will find it.
The prosecutor then went on to say that
Kinck bad never been seen after he left
Roubaix, except in company with the prisoner;
that the effects of the deceased were found in
the possession of the latter; that at Cernay
the prisoner had purchased au apparatus which
he had used for distilling prussic acid (Trop
mann assented) and that prussic acid was
found in the deceased. The examination
next turned on the decoy of the Kinck family
to Paris and their destruction there. Trop
mann stuck persistently to his assertion that
he had accomplices there too; that be, bought
the pickaxe at their instigation ; that one of
the accomplices, the oldest of them, stabbed
Gustave (Kinck'sson) with a knife and dug
the grave, and that he himself did nothing.
In answer to further questions, the prisoner
still said he bought the shovel and pickaxe,
which he was proved to have purchased, at
the request of his accomplices. lie knew that
they were fur the burial of the murdered
The prisoner added that, to induct ,
Mdnie. Kinck to go to Paulin, he had told her
that her husband had bought a house there.
The President And what happened after
wards?
Prisoner—lt was my accomplices who assas
sinated them. I wanted to save the little girl,
but they would not listen tome. The prisoner
added that lw tried also to defend the mother,
and it was then that he was wounded in the
hand.
The sitting was suspend6d, and on its being
resumed the ]'resident pointed out to the
prisoner that while he now asserted that he
was a passive instrument hi the hands of others,
he had stated on Lis preliminary exatnination
that•he had himself committed the murders.
he replied that that confession was untrue; he
bad confessed becauSe he was forced
to do
The President—Name your accomplices,
then.
The Prisoner—l have powerful motives to
keep me silent.
Iteplying to further , lotestions, the prisoner
persisted that it was his accomplices who had
committed the murders. The act that he
was covered with blood was accounted for,
Le said, by the , wound that he had re
ceived' while he was trying to defend Mdme.
Kinck.
The examination of witnesses, then began.
Louis Saal, of 111iiihouse, was one of them.
lie deposed that he had seen Tropmann strike
his father on the head, and heard him call him
A new Cain." The prisoner' upon this
called the witness a liar, anti said that he was
not worth banging.
Further evidence of the habitual violenceof
the prisoner was then given, and a number of
witnesses were called who spoke to various
particulars regarding the Muck family. Upon
lids part of the evidence the Presiderit'.reT
marked that it was clear the members of the
murdered family were strongly attached to
each other. 1
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 1870.
l'Atim, nee. 2.o.—The trial• of Tropmann
was resumed this Morning at 10.;►0 A. M. The
prisoner appeared much the same as yesterday,
though,. it' anything, ►rather. paler. He slept
well last night. •
Tropmann says 'that (lust:aye Klimek was
killed by Lis accomplice, and that he was not
the murderer. He still persists in affirming
the statements he made yesterday, denying
others. which•were-brought tbrward. , -No fresh
evidenee has transphtd.
PAnis, Wednesday.—Great astonishment
appears to have beewereated in court, by the
youthful face 01 the delinquent, who looks
about sixteen- or seventeen years old. The
"photographs of the prisoner" sold 'seine tune
ago' in Paris are now skid to haVe been the
likenesS of:a Pole 'who - left' France' - without
paying the artist. After his long examination
yesterday Tropmann appeared but little fa
tigued. He ate half a chicken for his supper,
joked with his guardian, and declared himself
convinced that he would escape, capital pun
ishment. lle again protested that he had ac
complices, and when asked to confess answered
that he would see about it.
The court was as much crowded this morn
ing as it was yesterday, and when, at ten
minutes to eleven, the examination of the
witnesses was resumed, as much interest as
heretofore was shown by the audience. The
first witness called was the butcher boy who
found the corpse of Gustave Kinck. During
his examination the prisoner protested, in spite
of his previous confession to the contrary, that
he did not kill Gustave, but that an accomplice
committed the murder. The sister of Mdme.
Kinck and her husband were subsequently
called, and spoke to the object of Kinek,senior,
in going to Alsace—to look after his property.
Theprisoner interrupted these witnesses, as he
had a previous one, by declaiing that Kiuck's
real object in going to Alsace was to coin false
money.
The President—Be silent, prisoner. After
having killed the man you slander him.
Other relatives and friends of the deceased
family were subseqUently examined. The
Havre gendarme Ferranti followed, and his evi
dence was listened to with extraordinary
anxiety to catch every word he said. The pri
soner declared that his statements were a pack
of lies.
, .
Dr. Bergeron gave evidence to the effect that
one man would be capable of accomplishing
all the murders of which Tropihaun is accused, °
and similar evidence was given by Dr. Tardieu.
Tropmann objected to these statements, and
said he was not a Hercules; but Dr.Bergeron,
who has examined the prisoner, declared that
he has acquired a certain Strength and agility
froM the exercise of his profession of engineer.
• The other witnesses did not add much to
the facti already known. The court adjourned
at a quarter to six. The depositions of the
chemist, M. Koussin, vho made the poxl-mor
tun, examination of the body of Kinek, Sr.,
Will be taken to-morrow.
The Prociireur-General, moreover, will re
view the case to-morrow on behalf of the
prosecution; and M. Lachatud, the. prisoner's
counsel, will speak for the
,defeace.
The 'Gazette des . Ti'Thtazui4 says: Tropmann,
when last night returning from the trial to Ins
cell, appeared as cheerful as on the previous
evening. After his dinner he played at cards
With his keeper . Tropmaun seems to rely
upon some favorable evidence being produced
at the hearing to-day, and has perfect confi
dence in the line 'of defence pursued by his
counsel. He retired to rest at half-past nine
P. 31:, and fell asleep immediately. •
The North German Corr•espowlent, of Dec
22d, says :
During the violebt storm of last Friday the
Ihie poplars hi front of the Cathedral, besides
several trees in the Potsdamerstrasse and
Unter den Linden, were blown down. So
great was the number • of fallen • trees in the
Thiergarten that on the next day most of the
narrower ways were nearly impassable. St.
Peter's Church, the Fusilier Barracks in the Carl
Strasse, and many other buildings,were partially
'unroofed. The glass portico of the Thiergarten
Hotel was entirely destroyed. An omnibus
was blown over on the Donhofsplatz and two
of the passehgers sustained fatal injuries. The
Christmas market had just begun,' and the
booths and Christmas trees which
thronged the principal streets and squares
were overturned or hurled against each other
by , the tempest, tto the terror and despair
of their proprietors. Two children,
bloWn into the canal in the Augusta
Strasse, were fortunately saved. The Frem
denblatt, which is printed in the Wilhelms
strasse, relates: "After some of the finest
trees in our garden, a great poplar and a beau
tiful old ivy-grown acacia had fallen befbre the
might of the hurricane, about half-past
twelve a violent gust carried away the half of
one of our great steam-chimneys and dashed it
on the adjoining root; through which it de
scended to the ground-floor, destroying on its
way a large quantity of paper, and doing great
damage to the printing-machines on the second
story. . Though the latter were all at work, by
a sort of miracle the people 111 the establishnient
escaped with a few slight 'contusions; the
majority of the workmen having rushed
at the first crash into the street." The Schiller
Monument; which is still in the atelier of Pro
fessor Begas, was for a time in danger. The
window-panes having been broken by the wind,
it was feared' the roof might be blown off and
the walls fall in. A body of firemen was im
mediately procured who, mounting proMptly
on the house, weighted the roof, and thus re
moved the threatened danger.
The snow stivriu which commenced on
Christmas Eve and continued at intervals din ,
iug Christmas Day and on Sunday,was drifted
in some parts of the Yorkshire and Durham
moors to a very great depth. Yesterday mind
ing, in the neighborhood o f B arnar d c ast i, s ,
trains were considerably delayed. In one in

get through a snow-drift, and an engine had to
be sent. from Barnard Castle to search for it,

Shocking^ Accident at a Theatre.
rC despatch from Briitol, tugland, 28th
time,- contains the subjoined details :
A terrible accident has just occurred at file'
Now T bga t rei in this town, which has -resulted
in conslderableloss of lite '
and has caused the
greatest consternation. It being Boxing Night,
huge crowds of people desirous of seeing the
pantomime assembled round the doors of the
• theatre previous to their opening. By six
O'clock the narrow and 'steep 'gangway leading
to the pit and gallery wits crowded by hitit
'dreds of persons, while in the roadway were
many others. -I,About,"l o'clock, just hefere the
doors were opened, a cry of tire was raised;'
but whether this cry or the opening of the
doors led to the tragedy is not known.
At any rate, immediately the doors
were unbarred there was a fearful
rush towards them. One poor woman was
the first to fall, and the obstruction
caused laroe numbers of others who were push
ing in to fall on her; .and in the result nearly
thirty men, women and young people tumbled
over one another in a heap, over which those
behind still pushed in order to obtain admis
sion. When the panic was over, attention was
paid to those on the ground, and 'twenty-three
persons were taken up insensible ; fourteen of
those undermost were.found to be quite dead,
and they were taken into the refreshment-room
and laid out; the remainder were conveyed to
the Infirmary, where to 12 o'clock four others
had died, making eighteen deaths in all. Of
those lying dead in the refreshMent
rooM, six are , women, four men, and
four boyB and girls. The per
formance of the pantomime Was continued to
the end; and the ftm inside, while fourteen
dead bodies lay close by, had ideous aspect.
The dread of further mishap : prevented the .
manager stopping the performance. When the
play was over, and hundreds inside knew the
real facts, the scenes outside the theatre and in
the infitruary were perfectly appalling. Up to
midnight only three bodies had been identified.
December - 31.—The inquest on the persons
killed at the Bristol Theatre has concluded.
The jury returned a verdict of ' accidental
death, occasioned by the impetuosity of the
crowd itself; exonerating the proprietor of the
theatre from blame. Another death from the
Bristol Theatre accident occurred yesterday
morning.
Catastrophe Near hmyrna.
The Berlin Nem ,Free Press learns from
Constantinople that the subterranean volcanic.
action in the basin of the Northeastern part of
the Mediterranean sea, so long a cause of
anxiety, has at length led to a great catastro
'phe. The town and' district of Mentesche, in
the province of Aidin, near Smyrna, has been
laid wastety an earthquake. On Wednesday,
the Ist inst., at six o'clock,in the evening, the
inhabitants were suddeilly startled by a. loud
subterranean noise and shock. A second•fol
lowed, with a sound like thunder, which for
tunately frightened the inhabitants from their
houses. A third ensued with such violence
that the whole town was destroyed. Three
persons who had remained in their houses
were killed: Marmaritza and '_Hula; small, vil
lages in the vicinity, also suffered greatly.

7'o' the Editor of the Et - ening Bulletin—
DEA it Si u : bly attention has been attracted
to a 'letter , in Thursday's BULLSTIN from
Messrs. Dobson, in reference to the devasta
tion-committed on the Wissahickon near Ridge
road. In this letter, the destruction of
the trees in question is openly admitted; an
action in direct violation of an act of Assembly
passed expressly to meet such cases, and to
save all trees on the ground included in the
Park survey. No excuse whatever is alleged
for its action, except, that by the detention of
other lumber,: it became convenient to use
these trees. If convenience be a justification
for breaking the law, all legislation becomes a
mere farce. It seems to me that the letter in
question leaves its writer's position worse than
before.
It matters. little whether this devastation was
done at two different times; or whether, as
aftinned by Unit: r igger, the whole took place in
September last,' But I certainly believe - that
the act of September was repeated in Decem
ber, and for the following reasons : I passed
along the road about Christmas, and again on
the ::Ist of December. On the last day I no
ticed that the hillside looked more bare than a
week before, and presently saw some hemlock
foliage evidently fresh cut, and destitute or 114 e
withered appearance that it takes on after be-,
lug cut some weeks. I met a resident of the
neighborhood and remarked to him that there
bad been more trees, cut. Ile answered in
dignantly in the atlinnative and informed me
that the cutting had been done two days lye
fore, consequently on Wednesday, Dec.. ,Itn.
therefore, entertain no doubt that the -state
ment in the letter to the contrary is erroneous;
whether done directly by the owners or by
others under their peremption is unimportant.
As to the shoddy-mill on Itittenhonse lane
it is undoubtedly a nuisance, and it to be
hoped that, in the reg eneration
of the.neighborhooiit will not esc a pe.
No one has a more .sincere respect for the
importance arid the dignity of manufacturing
interests than mySelf. That aspect of the
matter does not enter into the case. We have
only now to do with appropriateness of loca
tion. and in my opinion, the mill would be as
appropriate in Washington Square as in the
Wissahickon Park. Is there any propriety in
their being established upon one of the most
beautiful streams in Pennsylvania, or indeed,
in the world; and in making it their sink,
dtain, sewer and cess-pool?
• It is the law that no man's land shall be taken
for public purposes without an adequate remu
neration. Where owners deal fairly with the
public, and turn their property over in the con
dition in whieb It was when the original act
was passed appropriating this ground for public,
uses. I dO not doubt the excellent Commission
which Las this matter in hand will give them'
just indemnification. But where owners have
profited by the ' , interval which unavoidably
elapses in settling so extensive 'a matter as this
necessarily Is, to despoil their ground of its
principal ornaments, they cannot complain if
such acts arc reckoned against them in the
final adjustment, even with severity.
