PERIODI fAIL PIOBLICATIOXIS. WIN Popular Encyclopedia and Universat Dictionary , as can be safely judged from the first quarter now prepared, will be something wonderful for completeness, concentration and adaptedness to the times. Its large three columned page, printed with type at once com pact and clear, and in which the word to be defined is set with remarkable distinctness, pre sents the handiest imaginable form of refer ence, while an examination of the defiuitions always tends to excite wonder at the amount of information condensed in a small space. The bistoriad and biographic news is of late date; thus the article on Jules Favre notices his elec tion to the French Academy in 1867, and the facts and persons of American history are made especially significant 'to readers of this country by having been prepared since the war, and embodying the results and changes brought about by that event. The scholarship of the Encyclopedia seems to be as classic and mi nute as it is urbane and general. The defini tion of FLOORCLOTH is as good in its way as that of FEMGERICIITE. The embellishments seem to be steadily improving ; the portraits introduced are copies of reliable photographs. The illustrations to FLAG anti FLORIDA are especially valuable. The Encyclopedia is issued much more rapidly than at first, and subscribers can see their way through to the end. The price is so accommodating as, to be scarcely felt by the poorest.—Zell, publisher, E- Colange, editor, and forty-eight pages every ten days, Messrs. Lippincott & Co.'s happy conception sof issuing American editions of some of the Metter British magazines has earned them the thanks of many families in the United States. The three which they , have already planted firmly on our soil are The Sunday Magazine (edited by Dr. Guthrie), Good Words (edited by Dr. Norman Macleod), Good Words for the Young (edited by Dr. George Macdonald). The Sunday Magazine is eqnally noticeable for the serious thought and the vivacity of its articles, while the illustrations are excellent and abundant. We observe in the March number (brought over and delivered here in the first days of the month) the continuation of William Gilbert's medieval tale "The • • Tara ;" "Experiences in the Tower Hamlets," by a Curate ; "The Com panions of Saint Paul," by the Dean of Chester; a smooth translation of three French hymns, by Rev. Henry Downton, and several other contributions of note, all made attractive to the eye by engravings which ably represent the present taste in English art, and the sym pathetic cutting of the Dalziels.—Good Words for March, embellished with a similar quality of art, is rather more secular in tone, although it is also preeminently safe • and suitable for family reading: among its contributors are Samuel Smiles, the editor, Arthur Helps, Rev. C. Turner .(Mr. Tennyson's brother), Charles Kingsley; and Jean Ingelow—an association of talent not commanded by any other English magazine, we believe.—Good Words for the Young is likewise an improving, instructive 'and winning family friend, made up of articles by writers cunning in attracting the ear of youth. It is ably illustrated by skilful artists. The Half -Yearly Compendium of Medical Science, now ready for January, 1870, is an exceedingly usefulcompilation of the Ameri can and foreign literature of medicine and sur gery, edited by S. W.. Butler, M. D., Daniel G. Brinton, M. D., and G. H. Napheys, M. D. The field which this work occupies is a popular one, and represents to the physician the best results obtained by the whole profession. The present number is the fifth issue, and shows the most important discoveries of European medi cal science, while suitable prominence is given to the labors of American investigators, so well deserved by them for their practical and conscientious method. This number contains a well-edited department of . Ma teria Medica and , Therapeutics, compiled by Dr. Horatio C. Wood, of "this city, and Dr. Louis Elsberg, of. New York. The work for January embodies about three hundred arti , des, collected from seventy-three differentjour nals, signed by sixty-nine American and two hundred and sixty-six foreign writers, and ar ranged for reference in the most orderly and accessible system conceivable. Published by S. W. Butler, M. D., 115 South Seventh street. The same publisher issues The Medical and Burgica/ Reporter, edited by Drs. Butler and Brinton; of which the Februlry and March numbers display an excellent dtgest of Ameri can cases and many useful notices of medi2al publications.

PHIL. - ON HAND-SHAKING.- The hand-shaking torture to which dis anguished men are subjected in this country seems to have impressed itself very vividly on the feelings of the gallant Phil. Sheridan, who Tecently expressed himself as' follows on-Alie , --subject : " 1 have done a good deal of that— and so much that 1 have reduced it to a science. 1 have the quick shake and the slow shake, the strong shake and the weak shake. • There is the vigorous and the nervous, the bold Arid the timid. And 1 can tell a man as he comes up what he is going to do to me. I feel myself intrinsically. at times preparing for a tremendous attack and shake anti stid ev,e,„ generally let my arm hang limp, giving the labor to the crowd ; but when 1 see the enemy approaching I seize him at once, and turn his tank by a squeeze in advance." . 6645%,./h4t1.41,06.14,Ktie#40,41.r.0410fv.P..4.44,,, THE DAILY EVENISG BULLETIN----PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY MARCH 14, 1870 • - AM• JOHN iircixArroca, p.n., LL.D. 7 - ii"Y 0. .O..C.UOOKS-. The Rev, Dr. John M'Clintoclt was born in themity of Philadelphia, in the year 1814, and was at the,time of his death, therefore, in his 56th year. His parents were members of the old. St: George's Methodist Church in that city, his father having filled for many years in that societyllie offices, of leader and trustee. When quite a youth he was appointed by Dr.' John Emory, then Book Agent, to a clerkship in the Methodist Book Concern. Here he had charge of the books and accounts, and I have seen him turn with pleasure and pride to the pages which he had filled with his neat and accurate work. Leaving the Book Concern, he entered the University of Pennsylvania,_ and with his char acteristic energy iiccomplislied the entire col lege course of study iu three years. Before be graduated lie was engaged in preaching. With Robert Emory and Jaines Floy, he had Made, while living in New York, a full conse cration of himself to Christ in the Allen Street Church. In 1836 be joined the Philadelphia Conference, and the same year was elected Professor of - Mathematics-in Dickinson College, which two years before had been re-organized under Methodist auspices. He brought to his new position the fruits of a severe and thorough training received from his Alma Mater, a buoy ant temper, a mind quick, and yet satisfied with nothing less than the utmost thoroughness, wonderful capacity for work, and an interest in every department of human knowledge. He bad fit associates; with him in the Faculty were Merritt Caldwell, Robert Emory, and William H. Allen, all under the leadership of John.P. Durbin, then in the full splendor of his fame as a pulpit orator. A finer combina tion of talent and character has not been known certainly in the history of our Church. If these young men, so capable, so resolved upon the highest possible attainment, and the greatest possible service to their Church, had but known how to spare themselves, what might not have been r, Emory and Cald well died in 1848, literally worn out with hard work, and after, an interval of twenty two years, M'Clintock has followed them. As a Professor of Mathematics, Dr. McClin tock impressed Wray his extraordinary rapidity and brilliancy, ,Whatever he touched he illu mined and shed a peculiar fascination over the exercises of the recitation-room. - Engaged in the study of the higher mathematics Himself, he filled the classes with his own enthusiasm. In 1839 he passed to the chair of the ancient classic languages which he held until 1848. Here the same qualities appeared conspicuously, and the' same success crowned his work. The students confessed that he Mien each cnan equally wen But with all this devotion to the studies of his department, his mind had' then, and ever had through life,a strong determination toward theology and metaphysics. The great problems{ Of human thought which vex the souls of men from age to age were with him subjects of profound meditation. Through Coleridge, his first teacber,he was led naturally to the modern German philosophy, in which he read exten sively, grasping firmly the doctrines of each school, yet holding his own judgment in sus pease. He could state,a metaphysical doctrine with matchless clearness, and-detect a bungler or a sciolist in an instant. Equally was he in terested in all forms of theological belief. It was a necessity of his nature to know their con tents, their origin, and their relations to ortho dox truth. Yet these multifarious studies never 'unsettled his own views ; the simple, evangeli cal faith of his early life was to him ever beau tiful, ever true. For one thing, he had a de testation of half truths; and he was too wise and guarded to let half a truth lead him astray. While Professor of Languages, Dr. 'M'Cllin tock, in association with Professor Blumenthal, prepared a translation of Meander's Life . ) of Christ. Strauss's acute criticism upon the gospels, which he called a Life of Jesus, had not long before been translated into English, and published in London. That it would cir culate in America was inevitable. Meander's reply to - Strauss would be a prophylactic, and in any event could not fail to do good. An introduction, describing the rise of the mythical theory of the origin of the gospels, and an ad dress by Meander to the Christians of the United states, were prefixed to the translation. Appearing at this juncture, and almost simul taneously with Torrey's rendering of Meander's general Church History, this translation has' beenofexcellent service to the theologians of our country. Some years after, - Dr. .M'Clin tock had the pleasure of a personal interview with Neander at Berlin, where he was received by the venerable Church histririan with a char acteristic warmth of affection. In 1846, ap, peared the first of the series of Latin and Greek text-books, in the preparation of which the writer of this notice was associated with him. These manuals were at once well received and extensively circulated. I shall ever believe that Dr. McClintock laid the foundation of his subsequent ill health in the labors of these eventful years. With him trimming the midnight lamp was no metaphor; his lamp burned long after midnight, till the oil gave out. He would frequently say that he did not know the feeling of fatigue. With au insatiable craving for knowledge urging him on, he read and wrote day and night. In time, as was inevitable, even his strong frame gave way under the pressure put upon it. In 1848 he was suddenly prostrated,' and for years after was subject to sudden attacks of func tional derangement of the heart. He never had firm health after that year. In the same year-1818—he resigned his Professor's chair to take the editorship of the Methodist Quarterly Review, to which he had been elected by the General Conference. in the' : management of the Quarterly he aimed to make it indispensable to Ileve,ry American thinker and scholar. Large space was given to the discussion of metaphysical questions, especially those suggested by the then little known philosophy of Comte. Every number of the Review bore the impress of the editor's active intellect and broad scholarship. This position he held till 1856. In 1857 he became pastor of the St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church in this city. Here his fame as an elo quent preacher was fully established. Ile had, every requisite that an orator could desire—a fine presence, a rich voice, graceful, yet suffi ciently energetic, action,quick sensibility,a style of crystal clearness and a deep impression of the truth of the Gospel which be preached. These were his palmy days as a preacher. Men heard him gladly. Intellect, learning and reli gion combined to make his expositions of the Gospel attractive to all who attended his min istrations. Had his health been firm, so that he could have dedicated himself wholly to this work, there is no knowing what results of good be might have accomplished. But his health was not firm, Something or other was always giving way. His determina tion toward literature always supplied him, moreover, with literary labor. At the close of his pastoral term in 1850, he had already, in association with Dr. James Strong, been several. years engaged ripen the Theological and Biblt cul-Cyclopceilia, of which several volumes have been issued. In 1860, Dr.,M.'Clintock accepted an appointment to the charge of the American Chapel in Paris, and without delay located him self in that city. He had not been there many months before our civil war broke out;, and he, as every other American remaining abroad, was confronted with the question how to make the righteousness-of our cause unmistakably - plain to the people of Europe. Dr. M'Clintock devoted himself to this service with all his ardor. Called to make a speech at the Wes leyan Missionary Anniversary in Exeter Hall, liftiyo.f36l,•be replied then and there to the as i sating of the London Times, and carried with him the sympathies of the immense_ audience. He wrote and published freely himself in - be half of the national can , and stimulated others to write; kept up an' active corrosion donee with. European friends or America, and become known as an unaccredited representa tive ofour nation abroad.''i Nn three years of his life were more busily or More usefully oc cupied than these.' Toward the elose.of the war, he Warned to New York, to take for a second time, the charge of St,Paul's • Church ; but at the end ot ayear's service was compelled to resign on account of 11l health. From 1865 ,to 1867, he gave a large part of his thought and his time to the work 'of the Central Centenary Committee; and the powerful addresses made by him during the centenary year will be long remembered. In the year 1867 Dr. McClintock commenced the organization of the Drew Theological Semi nary, so liberally endowed by the 'gentleman whose name it bears. Mere his success was complete • the institution is doing its work and fulfilling die expectations of its founder. To my eye, Dr. McClintock' had for months been gradually sinking; and I have felt that death might come to him very suddenly. This was evidently his own impression; so that when, a few weeks ago, he was taken ill; he expressed the belief that he would not recover. Before the stupor of fever took possession of him, he remarked that whichever way his ill ness might terminate, it was all right. He had spent the greater part of his life in preparing for this very event, and was ready for its com ing. For several days before death he was en tirely unconscious; and early on the morning of Friday, March 4th, he gently fell asleep. When 1 have thought of the possibilities that were in him, I have found myself wishing that he were not so various, so many-sided, so oc cupied with multifarious Interests. I have mentally asked would not the product of his life be greater if he were to concentrate him self. But truth is, his heart was as big as his brain—loving, tender, with sympathies running out in every direction, and carrying his mental energy after ' them. Whate,ver interested human kind, interested him. To this breadth of his sympathies, he owed the social power which spread such a 'charm over his life. But what shall I say of his simple, Arnest piety, which rested with childlike confidence on the fatherly care of God ; of his nice sense of right, which stood guard, over all the inner springs of action; of his abounding charity, which would see only the better side of men He abhorred cant in religion, and in every thing else, and would have none of it. When ever he Spoke of, his Christian life, it was always in the fewest and plainest words. And so, coming to and seeing the end, he announced .!.. hP nhnnat, e/IMI/09 ire. - Had Dr. M'Clintock been asked the secret of his success in life, he would have promptly an swered, "Work." One of his first college ad. dresses was a.pariegyrie upon Labor. He be lieved in bard, earnest, downright toil, and re lied solely upon it. He had great talents— talents such as are Jarely given to men, but never deluded himself with the expectation that they could be made effective without un tiring exertion.. He built himself up laborious ly; built wisely on solid foundations, and kept on building till the fabric stood before the eyes of men conspicuous for splendor and beauty. His mind was not so much creative as Judi cial. He was essentially a critic. To investi gate, and to sum up the results of investigation in a clear, condensed statement,'was a habit which had become to him second nature.. In these mental processes he was aided by the ra pidity with which bewould track the informa tion of which he was iii . search. NO matter in , what or how many volumes hidden, it could not escape him. That his mind tended to en cyclopedia came necessarily from the largeness and variety of his acquisitions. In theology especially, nothing less than the survey of the whole circle, and that from the centre, would satisfy him. And so be appeared before us a completovell rounded man, certainly the foremost scholar of . American Methodism; in eloquence the peer of the most eloquent; in gentleness, love and goodness, well-nigh incomparable. He owed much to nature, for "the elements were kindly mixed up in him ;" much to culture, to which be faithfully dedicated himself; but most of all to the grace of our Lord and Saviour, Which wrought mightily in him. The highest eulogium we can pronounce upon him is that be was a good man. Better this than all learn ing, than all eloquence ; for " whether there be tongues, they shall cease ; whether there shall be knowledge, it shall vanish away; but love abideth forever." Having in life been Christ's, lie is Christ's now by a still closer tie, and so dwelleth with him eternally.—The Methodist. Cataloguing the Mars. The statement is going the rounds of the press that "the magnificent Chicago telescope is faithfully employed In the important drudgery of mapping out the heavens." if by this is intended the great equatorial, the state ment is scarcely true. The telescope employed is one much smaller, mounted in the plane of the meridian, and, though a good one, is scarcely entitled to be called magnificent. The German Astronomical Society some time ago laid out a plan for recataloguing all the fixed stars from the first to the ninth mag nitudes...inclitsive, and confided 'to Professor Safford the task of cataloguing those situated within a belt of about ten degrees•in breadth, the zone being that whiCh is in the zenith of Chicago when on the Southern meridian. The whole number of stars to be observed is about 100,000; of which about 8,000 stars fiat) the share of Professor Safford, and each requites at least two independent observations to deter mine its position with the required accuracy. During the last year he made 4,300" observa tions, and is still busily engaged, on favorable nights, in observing the positions of the fixed stars. The task is being prosecuted under great dif ficulties. The telescope being pointed ln" a. nearly perpendicular position, and the eye end very near the ground, each star has to be. watched for in a stooping posture, with ,the face turned upWard—one of the most fatiguing pos lions possible. The principal object to be gained, by this herculean labor is a knowledge of the . motions of the fixed stars in space. The positioni, as now noted, will be reduced, and cleared of er-' rors, and corrected for refraction, aberration, and nutation, and the results compared with those obtained by similar labor, in 1800 'and 1820. It is already known that most of the fixed stars are afrelted with what is known as' a "proper motion"—that is, a motion lode- . pendent of apparent change in position due to the earth's revolution; but when the present catalogue is completed, our knowledge on this subject will be much more extended and ac curate than now.—Chfcago Tribune.

Prince Henri de Bourbon Wiled in a MAnnin March 12.—A duel between the Duke de doutpeusier and Henri de Bourbon occurred this morning, the latter being killed. The seconds of Montpensier were Generals Cordova and Alaminor, and those of the Prince were Senor Rubio and another, name unknown, Republican deputies in the Constit uent Cortes. The affair has created a great excitement here. Malmo, March 13.—The meeting between Prince Henri de Bourbon and the Duke de Moutpensier took place seven miles from the walls of Madrid. The principals drew lots for the first shot, and Prince Henri won. The ad versaries exchanged their first fire at ten pace§ without result. They then advanced on each .other seven paces, when Henri fired and missed; the Duke returned the fire, shoot ing his adversary through the head. The lat ter fell to the ground and expired in a feW moments. Montpensier showed the utmost calmness during the combat, but was much =affected when informed of the result. As the Prince was poor, the Duke offered to provide for his widow and children. The quarrel was caused by a harsh letter against the Duke; which the. Prince had addressed to the Mont pensierists. Henri de Bourbon was a brother of the Prince d'Assis, consort of the ex-Queen Isabella, and was a cousin of the Duchess de Montpensier. It is reported that .• in spite of the vigilance of the authorities on both sides of the frontier, numbers of.Carlists have come into Spain. In the Cortes, yesterday, a deputy asked if there was any foundation for the statement made by a New York journal that Senator Stunner bad said,he kadj a received propositions from General• Prim for the sale or cession of Cuba to the 'United States. General Prim pro nounced the statement to be utterly false. An interpeliation was made regarding political privileges in Cuba, to which Prim replied that no election for depoties Lathe Cortes had been held in that island, the autlioritieS - reporting that the time had not Yet arrived; and that the troubles were not yet settled. MADRID, March la—The duel between Mnitpensier_ and Henri :, de Bourbon creates intenee , eXcitsinent. The letter Written by the latter-branded-Montpsnsier-as-a--Jesult-'con spirator, and called him a bloated French pastry-cook. The , Prince won the choice of weapons, and the'right•tO the first shot. The distance,was ten paces, and the combatants fired alternately from revolvers. , The • first and second shots of the Prince missed, and the tbird'brdiet grazed •the cheek 'of the Duke, causing a 'slight , wound.;. The Duke's Brit shot missed, the second slightly wounded the Prince, and the third proved fatal, the ball en tering the Prince's forehead, and killing him instantly. The Duke . exclaimed, 44 My God, what have I done ?" and swore to protect the Prince's children. The Duke and his salamis are in Madrid, and not ' arrested. When the Duke had fired twice, the seconds endeavored to effect a reconciliation, butithe Prince • was furious, and refused. It is reported that a French intrigue is at the bottom of the affair. DIVORCES IN ENGLAND. Sketch of the English Divorce Court. The English Divorce Court, which the Mordaunt trial has lately brought into excep tional prominence, is quite a modern institu tion, having only come into existence since 1858. Prior to that time divorce in England was practically a luxury only for the rich, and a terribly sarcastic speech of Judge' Maule had much to do with awakening the public mind to the hardship the then state of the law in flicted upon the poor. The Judge, after pointing out to an unhappy wretch in , bumble life the intricate and enormously expensive course which it would be necessary for him to adopt in order to get rid of a drunken, dissolute wife, who rendered his life miserable, explained to him that by pursuing. the line indiatted, and that alone, could be hope to succeed ; inasmuch as in England there was but one law for rich and poor alike. The late Lord Chancellor Campbell re marked in a: certain ease that came before him when assisting 'in the Divorce Court, soon after its establishment, that it could, net longer be said that divorce was merely a luxury for the rich, for here was a case in which the pe titioner was a costermonger and the respondent the conductor of an omnibus.' • Sir Cresawell Cresswell, whose name thence forward became a household word, was ap pointed Judge, and on his death, consequent upon a fall from his horse, Sir James Wilde, one of the Barons of the Court of Exchequer, was, selected as his successor, and was last year raised to the peerage as Lord Penzance. He is the second member of his family who has been ennobled in the last quarter of a century, hi • nele tord v • • . • irs :.a • " from the post of Attorney's Clerk to that of Lord High Chancellor. Lord Truro fOrnied a second marriage, late in life, under somewhat ' romantic circum stances. The Queen's uncle, the late Duke of Sussex, married, when a very young man, in Italy, Lady Augusta Murray, daughter of then Earl of Dunmore. By the terms of the Royal Marriage act, this union was no marriage in law, although it Was held to preclude either of the, contracting parties from marrying ag ain during the lifetime of the.otber, and the Ike got into disgrace at court. Many years later the son and daughter of this marriage became the suitors in a cause in volving a question of their legitimacy. Mr. Sergeant Wilde was counsel for the Duke's daughter, who had assumed the name of d'Este, and the acquaintance begun profes sionally ripened Into private intimacy; and ulti mately ended in marriage. The lady lived to become Lady Truro, and was long known as a prominent personage in the fashionable society o' London. The sittings of the Divorce Court are held In the Lord Chancellor's Court at Westminster, and the proceedings are conducted with the • most severe decorum. With the public of London it is the most popular court in the metropolis. - The Probate cases, presenting, as they fre quently do, a' complete revelation as to the in most details of family life, consequent upon allegations as to the incompetency of testators, undue influence, &c.. often prove as attractive to morbid curiosity as the Reprobate cases.— .N. Y. Pmt. TAILANTULA.-ill the interior of Texas most people are familiar with the so-called Tarantula;" a huge, brown, hairy spider, of the genus _lf ygale, found in the warmer por tions of America, living in holes in the ground lined with silk, and with or without a trap door; and which spins no web, but captures its prey by running it dowin, or by leaping upon it. Stories are current of the venomous nature of these spiders—the offensive apparatus con-' silting of a pair of sharp ,claws with poison glands attached, which secrete the venom and inject it into the wound. The amount of ac tual injury done is so very small that we do not know of a case since our residence in the State, more than thirty-two year's. It is alleged,how ever, that in Central America, espeCially in Costa Inca,this animal becomes very formi dable. Thy are so• abundant in certain por tions that the .ground is completely riddled with their burrows. Here horses and cattle become very subject- to their attacks. particu larly upon those portions of the under body that are.moriior less In contact with the ground when lying down. The wounds are very pain ful, and unless attended to are frequently fatal. An especially dangerous place for their attack is in the region immediately above the hoof—a wound there generally resulting in the slough ing ofl' of this portion of the foot. The usual remedy is the application of Salt or sulphate of. copper • but a solution of sal ammoniac (harts-' borne) is said to be more efficient.—Gaireston. Civilian. IMVQB,TAVDS.
