NEW PUBLICATIONS.
Modern Therapeutics, a compendium of
Recent Formuhe and Scientific Therapeutical
Directions. By George H. Napheys, A. M.,
M. D.' Published by. S. W. Butler, M. D.,
Philadelphia.—From recent medical periodi
cals, monographs and systematic treatises, Dr.
Napheys . has compiled a most valuable collec
sion of prescriptions and remedies. The form
he adopts is an improvement on previous man
uals, the classification being according to' the
diseases, or a nosological one, instead of ac
cording to the remedies of the Materia Modica.
Napheys, from his various editorial duties,
has remarkable facilities in a work of literary
compilation, while we •have such a thorough
confidence in his judgment and style that we
recommend his recipes warmly and with assur
ance of their value.
We receive from the publishers, Slote, Wood
man & Co., "New York, a beautiful volume ex
plaining Williams & Packard's System of Pen
manship, and intended for teachers and adepts.
The descriptive matter inculcates with elegant
clearness the theory of forming script letters,
while.the numerous engraved pages exhibit the
very ideal of grace in running -hand, flourishing,
fancy lettering, &c. We find with this treatise,
however, the fault that it teaches counting
house writing, and not classical writing. The
letter-forms are elegant, but they are not based
upon the good old models to be seen in bank
note and diploma engraving of ten years since,—
the models upon which that man of real talent,
the late William Fife, of this city, formed his
own style and taught it to others. The elegau
cies and flourishes upheld in these patterns are
well enough as the caprices of a finished clerk,
but are vicious exemplars for the student.
Reprints.—Messrs. Charles Scribner & Co.
have now completed their library edition, cos
responding to- the English one, of " Frottde's
History of England, from the Fall of Wolsey
to the Defeat of the Spanish Armada." The
final volumes;Xl. and Xll.,are received. They
are most beautifully printed on tinted paper,
and cost $3 00 the volume of about seven hun
dred pages. Their popular edition of the same
work, of which we have noticed vols. VII. and
VIII., is also advancing, at the accommodating
price of $1 25 the volume. Mr. Fronde is
slogtineil to no dg wn to nosterit as one of the
most original and surprising among' the re
touchers of historic portraits ; and his style, all
energy, self-confidence and unfeigned convic
tion, keeps vivid in the mind the portraittire he
alters—from his fatiguing wealth of' unheard-of
. evidence,—into freshness and life., . _
The same publishers issue, in their Ameri
can reprint of the Illustrated Library of Won
ders, a translation. of "Le Soleil," by Amedie
Guillemin, in the English of Prof. A. L. Phip
son, Ph. D. • The fifty-eight illustrations to the
original are conscientiously reproduced, though
naturally Of a little coarser quality. The
reader, whether of younger,or older growth,
who desires an astronomical journey into the
heaven's towards the source of light can hardly
find so good a guide as "The Wonders of the
Sun." It eXpresses the last word of modern
discovery without technicals or pedantry.
The Neu) . Comic.—Punchinello steps upon
the tressels, adjusts his black-paper nose and
india-rubber belly, flirts away the pictured cur
tain with his left hand, and begins to improvise
before us gaping lazzaroni. There he stands
en the front, amid a cloud of flies formed of
hundred-dollar banknotes with little bodies and
legs; "Will Exhibit every Saturday: Admis
sion Ten Cents." The pictures amid which he
plays are most of them easily traceable to the
cunning fingers of our old friend of Vanity
Fair, the fat and funny Harry Stephens. The
quirks and quiddets of the pen-men are fast,
furious, sometimes slangy, sometimes wrong
headed, but never tame. Punchinello's poli
tics are sufficiently apparent from his treat
ment, in this first hour df his existence, of
President Grant, Butler (spoons again), and
Sumner., However disrepectful are some of
his opinions, Punchinello evidently knows a
thing or two about parties and people, about
"Condensed Congress," " Wall' street," and
other' crowds. His running fire of improvisa
tion will amuse us often, and we hope the
young matt with the tin box 'Will receive an
exhaustless accompaniment of baiocchi. Poll
chinelle, thy hand! Thou art welcome! .
I From Old and New, for Aprill
111 F ALAS/LA. SEAL FISHERIES.
BY 0. /WIVES, JR.
The southwest corner of the niain body of
Alaska is lengthened out Into a long peninsula,
and from the end of the chain of Aleutian
Islands extends almost to the oppositlshores of
Asia. These islands form the southern boun
dary of Behring Sea. In this sea, about three
hundred miles northwest
.from the extreme
end of the peninsula of Alaska, and entirely
isolated from all other bodies of land, are two
small islands, named St. Paul and St. George ;
they are so small, that if.looked for on a large
map, they will be found only represented by
mere dots.
There are eight beaches at St. Paul's, and
four at St. George's, which, instead of ending
abruptly at the foot of tall cliffs, rise gradually
up into low hills. On these beaches, in the
early part of May, the seals begin to assemble ;
first, a few " seacutchers," or old male seals,ar
rive ; and taking upon themselves the office of
scouts of the advancing army, go over all the
ground. If much interrupted in their proceed
ings,' they have been known to pre
vent the landing of seals on that
beach during the ensuing summer;
arid for this reason they are permitted to
wander at will. As time progresses, more ar
rive, both old and young, but almost entirely
male,until the beaches fairly swarm with them,
and the young and middle-aged are urg,ed,from
want cf room, and hy the ferocity of the sea
culchers,—who keep the water line wholly to
thernselves,—back upon the adjoining , hill
sides. From the middle of May to the first of
June, there is a constant influx of female seals,
who, as fast as they arrive, are seized by the
halelltekr upon whose few feet of territory
thanes has brought them ; lie driving back, if
he be able, any adventurous male seal who
may wish to contest his right. If he is not
able to do so, he is himself driven up the hill
side and loses, not only the new-corner, but
all former conquests he may have made;
for they are quickly absorbed into the vic
tor's already crowded harem. In these
struggles for supremacy,the brunt of the battle,
as is the case with higher animals, is sometimes
borne by the innocent cause of dispute; for a
female seal on corning ashore may be pounced
upon by two huge xeucutchers each taking
bold of her Kith their long tusks, and pulling
in opposite directions with tremendous force,
ant% hey both forfeit the fruits of victory by
he death of the poor victim.
When all the seals have czme,the seacutchers

succeeded in capturing from three to ninety fe-

rettleS pacli,of which they take the Most jealouS
care fliim the time of parturition, which otTars
in two or three weeks after their landing, until
they prepare tolake their departure at about the
first of October. During this long space of
time—more than four months—though the !
young male seals frequently revisit the water in
warm weather several times during
the day, the seacutchers and females never do,
. but remain on the beach in the same place
that they first took up their abode. Bright
sunshine troubles them, and creates great rest
lessness among them ; so much so that if it
were to continue for more than three days, it
would necessitate their going into the water,
thereby disarranging the family groupingS and
causing the death of a creat portion of the
young fromdesertion and consequent starva
tion. But by a wise ordihanceof Providence
for the good health of the seals, but hardly for
that of the human beings on the islands, this
never occurs; in fact, the duration of the sun's
Undisputed reign is rarely over six hours in
length, while a week will often pass in which
he is but. seen through a fog darkly." The
power of these animals, not only to exist, but
to support their young without any visi
ble nourishment is wonderful ; they
have often been cut open, and 'nothing
found in their stomachs but a few small stones.
They lose greatly in weight, however, for
when they come In the spring they are replete
with fatness ; but by the time their young are
large enough to go in the water, they are weak
and emaciated in the extreme.
The Fur Seal is an entirely different animal
from the common Hair Seal, that is frequently
met with in our harbor, not only in regard to
generical classification,
but also . in relative
worth ; the skin of the former being very val l
uable, while that of the latter is 'comparatively
worthless.
As the male Fur Seals grow Old their size in
creases with such regularity that one accus
tomed to see them can readily tell their age at
sight. When first born, they ale a loot in
length, and covered with fine black hair; they
are then entirely useless for com
mercial purposes; butt the next year
the hair changes / Ao a dark gray,,
and underneath it is a' , fnie yellow fur, which,
after being prepared, becomes the "Fur Seal,"
as generally known; their size has also in
creased, and seals one year old weigh over one
hundred pounds, and are about three feet long.
From this time their growth is very rapid; so
that a Ritatcher of fifteen years of age is
often more than eight feet in length, and in
weight over two thousand pounds. The
females, however, never attain the size of the
males, their growth ceasing at the third year.
In order to more fully dest,Tibe the manner
in which these animals are killed, I will give
an adeetitit of 0110 or tile many rifivei;• 7 l . 7
which I participated during a six months' resi
dence on the Island of St. George.
At two'A. N. I was awakened by the " Ni
rachic" , (the native foreman) coming into my
room ; 'he came to tell me that two men had
,just arrived from the " Starrie Artie)," a beach
three miles froni the village, with reports that
great numbers of young seal had come ashore,
were very well spread over the hill-side, and
that the wind was blowing in from the sea, so
that there would be no danger of their scent
ing our approach. On getting up, and finding
that the weather 'was dampenough for our pur
pose, I gave orders to wake the people of the
village, and prepare for a drive. In ten min
utes the driving party, consisting of twenty
men; were assembled near my house, armed
witirlong, heavy clubs, which are the only
weapons needed in encounters of this kind.
It was a northern summer sunrise ; but a
rising gale swept in fitful gusts great banks' of
thick, wet fog over the island. For a few
minutes it would be clear, so that points at a
mile's distance could be easily seen ; and then
again, rushing over, mingled with the
wail of the wind, the fog covered every
thing with a cloud so dense as to render
objects only a few feet removed wholly
invisible. We started in Indian file, with the
"Nirachic" leading, at a half run, along a nar
row rocky path, over the cliffs to the seal
beach ; now skirting their edges, so that we
could hear, hundreds of feet below, the wild
dash of the waves against their base; and now
plunging into deep, narrow valleys, which, re
taining the mist; were almost. wholly obscared
in darkness. The natives leaped from one wet
and slippery rock to another,with the agility and
certainty of a chamois among the Alpine
heights; the fear of slipping being entirely ob
viated by the, use Of leather made from the
flippers of the Sea Lion, for the soles of their
boots—this leather possessing an adhesive
power almost equal to that of a fly's foot. A
half-hour's run brought us to the hills over
looking the beach. It was wholly obscured
from sight, but up from the abyss rose the
moaning and bellowing of thousands upon thou
sands of seals; the wild surroundings made it
seem like the cry of lost souls in Pande- •
nionium. The "Nirachic," followed by his
men, crept softly to that point, where the low,
wide beach began to "slopel up into the hills;
then suddenly, starting up with a shout, and
waving their clubs in the air, they ran; follow
ing each other at a hundred or more feet apart,
along the line made by the_base of the hills;
the seals, scattering in all directions, were
either driven--down on to the beach, or up the
hill-side, between which and the beach a cordon
of men was soon formed. The line of men
then began to advance up the hill-side; the
poor seals, leaping or• rolling along, but still
making their way with considerable rapidity,
were urged farther and farther from their
refuge, the water. When they had been driven
about a quarter of a mile, this huge drove,
whieh,must have contained over six thousand,
was divided into ten . smaller ones; two men
, were assigned to each of these, with
orders to drive in different 'di
rections to the village. The rea
sons for this were, that in order to drive seals
any considerable time, or distance, the earth
has to be very damp; and,, as they absorb
much of the moisture out of the ground over
which they pass, in a very large drove, those in
the rear would have to go on dry ground; but,
by being so separated, they all have . nearly an
equal chance.
Raving been fully started, these droves were
easily managed. The seals were alloWed to
rest after every two hundred feet of distance
made; they never moved except when urged
by means of shouts, and waving of clubs,
and
then in exactly an opposite direction from
their -drivers. It took about three hours to
bring them to, the settlement, so it was six
o'clock when they arrived there; and all the
inhabitants of the village came out to meet
them ; partly to estimate from the number of
seals what their individual gains were to be,
and partly also to relieve the drivers and alloW
them to get breakfast, before the killing com
menced.
The spot chosen for the killing was a little
valley, near the storehouse. Here the various
droves were united, and the drivers, having
refreshed themselves, by breakfasting on some
of the youwr b ones that they had killed at the
beach and brought in on their backs, now pre
pared ibr action. Some two hundred seals
were divided from the main body; and having
completely surrounded them, the men con
tracted the circle, driving the seals as they did
so into the centre.
Then began the work of destruction. The
seals were heaped one on the other, in their
eagerness to escape from the death that threat
ened them on all sides; while the men tKruck
at their heads with long clubS, and at almost,
every blow a seal would leap into the air, with
a• ainful man, fall to the ground, convulsed
in agony, and quickly die.
So much actual strength had they, howei.er,
that sometimes a seal would seize one of the
clubs with hiS teeth, and wrenching it front the
hands of the man who beld - it tosa. it by'a
turn of his head, nlore than thirty feet.: In a
few minutes, all those under three years of age
were killed, and those. 4:40 that age' were
driven oil; to Lind their way to the Water as beit
they might. All the men, women and children
then came; and each, iking seal, worked
with such rapidity, that aeon the skins had
all been taken, from those that bad been killed.
In this way another and another portion was
taken from the great main body, until in the
evening it was all exhausted, and the ground
for over two acres was covered with bare white
bodies, which, in the dim, stormy twilight, re-'
minded one of a geld of a. battle after a day' s
combat. -
The skins were brought to the storehbusei
counted, and each head of .a family accredited
with the amount that he and his houscheld
had taken. The next morning the skins' were
salted, and having remained in pickle five days,
were taken out, rolled in .bundles of two each,
and were then ready for shipment.
• The ground being so 'rocky, it•was impossible
to bury the seals' bodies, and to • throw them
into the sea would cause all' the living seals to
forever abandon the • island ; so they were al-,
lowed to remain, the natives only taking off
enough of fit. to supply them with. oil, for food
and light. At the end of: the. season, there
were many acres of putrefied carcasses, which
reeking up to heaven," brought dire vengeance
upon the destroyers, as the list of mortality all
too clearly showed. Yet if the seals cause the
death of the Aleuts, they are also absolutely
necessary for their subsistence, as the islands
produce no vegetables whatever; and
the inhabitants are obliged to depend
entirely on what is brought there
ior trading purposes. For meat, they use the
seal, fresh in summer, salted in winter; varied
perhaps, now and then, by a gull or loon ; but
the means of supplying themselves with the
latter are so very inconstant, that were the
former frightened away by any mismanage
ment,—which has frequently been the case at
other localities,—the Aleuts would be also
obliged to desert the islands, leaving them as
barren and isolated as they were fifty years ago,
when the Russians first brought men to reside,
there. •
The number of seals killed on these two
islands has averaged, for the ten years pre
ceding 1868, a little less than one hundred
thousand annually ; and with proper manage
ment, this could probably be continued indefi
nitely, as the yearly increase far exceeds
that amount. During the summer of 1868,
or the first year that the country came
under American rule, there were over two
htindred and sixty thousand killed. Last year,
although there was an act of Congress forbid
ding any one even to land on the islands, ex
_
re.
'A T I; uy ure name! In,
were nevertheless, more than thirty thousand
seals destroyed; the law being 'enforced and
evaded ina manner that is peculiar to America,
and which calls loudly for a civil service re
form.
There are several bills now'before Congress;
eaclyadvocating a separate theory, but all-unit—
ing in the wish to preserve the fisheries. The
one most feasible, and which will probably be
adopted, is that of leasing out both islands, for
a term of years, to responsible parties ;
ing them to kill a certain number annually;
obliging them to take paternal care of the
Aleutian inhabitants; and holding them ac
countable for any infringement of its provi
sions. In this way the Government may de
rive a revenue varying from one hundred
thousand to three hundred thousand dollars
annually.
The great market for these skins is London,
to which place they are all shipped, via San
Francisco, or the Hawaiian Islands; the price
varying, according to demand, from fifteen to
twenty-eight shillings each. In order to reduce
them to the state in which they are usually
seen, they have to undergo a long process of
cleaning, cutting, and dyeing, which is to
American furriers—if their claim that it was
formerly done here be a true one—a " lost
art; " for certain it is that nowhere outside of
England is it understood; and even there it is
held as a monopoly by a half-dozen business
houses. The skill required to remove the long
hair that covers the fur is only obtained
after years of practice, the operation being
an extremely delicate one. The skins
are placed on frames, and the inner. sur
face pared off, until the roots of the hair are
.completely severed;. while the roots of the fur
remain untouched, on account of their near
ness to the outside surface. The hair is then
very easily removed, and. the light yellow fur
made readyfor dyeing, either to a more golden
yellow, a dark purple, or black; and is after
wards brought to the general fur market.
ART ITEMS.
—The Villa Albam, just outside of Rime,
which Prince Torlonia wishes to sell to Ame
rica for a price of something like $2,800,000, is
interesting as having been the Academe of the
great critic Whickelinalin. Forsyth says of it:
"Here Cardinal Albani, having spent his life in
collecting ancient sculpture, formed such por
ticos and such saloons to ' receive it as an old
Roman, would have done; porticos where, the
statues-stood free upon the pavement, between
columns proportioned to their stature; saloons
which were not stocked, but embelljshed, 'with
families of allied statues,' and seemed full
without a crowd. Here Winekelmaun grew
into an antiquary under the Cardinal's patron
age and instruction; and here he projected his
history of art, which brings this collection con
tinually into view."
And Mutzay's Guide thus speaks of itp
proudest possession in antique art :—"Return-
Mg to the Galleria Nobile, the first room on
the left contains the celebrated bas-relief An-
Mucus crowned with the lotus-flower, found in
the ruins of the Villa Adriana, and which
Winckelmann has described with rapture. 'As
fresh and as highly finished,' he says, 'as if it
had just left the sculptor's studio. This work,
after the Apollo and the Laocoon, is perhaps
the most beautiful monument of antiquity
which has been transmitted to us.' " IL is sug ,
gusted that this villa would make a delightful
residence, and might be converted
,into an
"Artists' Home" upon some basis that, at no
inordinate expense, might render incalculable
service to American art.

works of the late Charles Harvey, of Balti
more, celebrated for his tasteful collection,will

The Bonaparte Trial.
Totrw, March 23.—The High Court of
Justice opened at eleven o'clock. Witnesses
were examined to prove that ,Fonrielle said
Victor Noir slapped the Prince in the face.
The lawyers for the prosecution dwell with
effect on some grave contradictions in this
testimony.
A number of policemen testified to remarks
made by Fonvielle after his arrest. The prose
cuting lawyer created a sensation by declaring
that the original report of the police in this
case was not to be found. Only a copy dated
ten days later could be produced.
One witness swore he had beard Fonvielle
exclaim if his pistol had not missed lire he
would have shot .the Prince. This had an
effect on the spettators, who are evidently be
fining to lean to the cause of the Prince.
Witnesses for the prosecution were then ex
amined. Arnould testified that Victor Noir had
no intention of attacking the accused when he
went to his house.
Henri Rochefort was called as a witness for
the prosecution. There was Much' agitation
among the' spectators at the announcement of
his name. Rochefort entered the court-room,
accompanied by two gendarmes, and took his
place on the witness stand. Ho was pale,, but
very calm. He replied quietly to the interro
gations, and, after repeating the contents of
the letter Sent him by the accused, which oc
casioned the visit of Noir and Fonvielle, he re
tired to the bench reserved for journalists.
Many of the latter shook hands with him. He
took his seat.
The wife of Louis, brother of Victor Noir,
was called to testify. She was much agitated.
;She said Victor IsiOir could not have slapped
the Prince; because the gloves on his hands
were found:to he intact.
Other witnesses corroborated the ;.statement
of Arnould, that Noir did notintend to quarrel
(with the Prince. . .
.
Morel, reporter of' the Mordlour, testified
that witnesses who now Swear to , Fonvielle's ad
mission that Noir , slapped the . Prinee did not
say so at first.
M. Miller and other witnesses' testified to
the physical WeakneSs 'of Victor , Voir, and the
improbability of striking the Prince, as the de
fence alleged. • ;
During the Interutission of the court, many
friends : of M. Rochefort gathered around him.
The gendarmes interfered; and, surrounding
the prisoner, kept his fFiends bftCk;.

TUE.SAN DOMINO° TREATY.
p . A Sensible `flew of the Ratter.
The price can hardly be considered more
than a nominal one, and the consent of the
Demi nican4 to annexation bas been freely and
heartily accorded,
* * * * * .* * *
If the bargain has been straightforward and
aboveboard, and if the price be not exorbitant,
let the senate act decisively.—N. Y. Times,
To say that the acquisition of a harbor in
the bay and peninsula of Samana is sufficient
to warrant the Senate 'in ratifying the Baez
treaty is to talk plausibly, If not wisely, flat
it is foolishness to urge the price or the con
sent of the Dominicans as a reason. As to
price, we have already laid a lot of military
articles, together with some $150,000 in. g old
coin, and are to pay $1,500,000 in addi
tion, and assume all the indebted
ness of our acquisition. As to the
amount of the indebtedness, there is no evi
dence upon which a jury could come to an
opinion. Whether it be six or eighteen mil
lions the Times cannot with certainty say. We
have seen as much testimony that it is the
larger as the smaller sum. As to the consent
of the Dominicans expressed by votes, we can
not understand how a sensible and upright
person, who appreciates, the brutal ignorance
of that 'population, can place any reliance
whatever upon it.
It we must have a naval depot in Samana,
that may he a substantial justification for the
formality of a treaty with Baez to get it, rely
ing upon our ability, when obtained, to hold
it against Dominicans and everybody else.
But is such a depot, in such a spot, worth
what we will probably have to pay if this
treaty is ratified? Does any one pretend to
vindicate the negotiation on that bans? •
We have seen statements that President
Grant has said to the Senate committee that if
we did not now take San Domingo some Euro
pean nation would. England, France and
Spain have all " been there," and have no de
sire too again- We wish, before the Senate
act in this treaty, it would procure 'through
Sickles in Madrid a history of the experi
ence of Spain in that island from 1861 to
lbrZ. Perhaps Mr: Lopez Roberto, the
Spanish Minister in Washington, would en
lighten
Senators on that topic. The desire on
the part of Dominicans for the . presence of
Spain in 1861 was outwardly ( cite as marked
anu sincere as now ior the unnea - tataB; and
yvt before three years the natives organized
a system of amassination'of Spanish officers,
and in .1865 Spain abandoned the island in dis
gust. 4 ,
. * *
Is it not significant and startling that the
country has not had from the Secret A-y of
State either personal, as distinct from official,
approval of the treaty, or a statement of what
he knows the ,entire indebtedness of San
Domingo to be, together with the character
and amount of special monopolies granted by
Baez to Fabens and others, which will be per
petual liens upon the property Y The men of
large capital in this country - would be gratified
to hear from Mr. Fish in this matter, before
plunging into the unknown sea to which the
treaty invites; for, whatever may be his poli
tical defects as a stateSman, hr, is knKiwn to be
sagacious in business, conservative and
careful of property interests.—World.
