Would not thedinuer»t'.ble beccme a nuisance in its insipidity it knives never smelt of flfeti, and if the pastry was never slightly suggestive oi lard rquloL-g in its strength? And In like manner- supposing hat ranks and centre tables were alwaygfreshiy dusted, one might indted forget the necessity lor a siothet’-brusb; but then consider the quantity of> oliLsilk i>poket>hAad&6rchlef* which woulu thusp^ooDhecsteu! Ihe cuhnafr panic to which we have ventured to refer, ii it has not its origin in auob.pleasantries as these, is at least intimately aMoeiated withtimm* Tbe oarling topic of couveraatiou with housekeepers, old or young, amiable or virulent, is the character ot the uomesuos whom -they employ. : These domes tics, on the. other hand, o is cover so exhauatless WCii'Bpring of satlsfacUon in the caavwingol the me jits »nd demerit* of their mistresses. To that oieao tribunal master and mistitss, and all thplittle masters and mistresses, childremin-arms .not ex cepted, are ciagged up. The kitcheniu awful array confronts tire parlor. The dresser harangues tbe sideboard; the pantry briLgs a sweeping charge against the boudoir J the ooal cellar overhauls the library, ano the summer kitehen takes the best bad* chamber seriously to task. Ihi j appear lo be no better off abroad than we are rule, borne months ago an English reviewer oevottd a very grave article to a consideration of tbe grave queatiou of domestic aervioe. Moat of tbe atrviae we have in tbia country.la tbe result of Irish emigration. No American girl will go out to aer> vice. We bave very few English aervanta, except tbe limited number that may haveoome bitner witb tbe English family in which they were employed. Colored servant, and German help are not unfre quint, but the main resource for domestic service is to be lound in our Iriah population. English papera have paitioularly aomplainedof both mistresses and. aeivanta in Ireland, itself, stating that the system of eapionags and distiust adopted by the former ill con. ducea to the mutual friendilneaa, which is the beat guarantee of a goon mistress ana a good maid. As an illustration that the same difficulty that ia felt here is experienced on tbe other aide of the water, we transfer from the London Times an ex tract which, aa the writer remarks, apeaka for it sell; AM BRIO AN “ To the Editmof the Times: Sir.: In conUrmation of m; remarks in my letter of W edneaday, the 13th Inst., aa to aervanta refuting placet where any restrictions as to dreaa are made, ! send you the following example : Requiring a kttchenmaid, 1 wrote to a person whom 1 heara was seeking a aituatiun aa such. My place la an easy one, there Deing three persona kept tn my kitchen. I offered her £lB a year, and I Hod tea, sugar, aud every thing for my servants, I then made my usual stipulations aa to dreaa, viz: mat my aeivania did not wear flounoes on their dresses or dowers or leathers outside their bonnets; that they wore white eape, ana were required to attend church regularly. This morning I received the fol lowing effusion, which I thiuk needs no comment rtom me. The tone ol the letter is more as if “ A. 8.” were engaging me than the reverse. I. have Only to add that this la by no means an isolated case. I remain, TRUTH. Januabt 32. * Honour Madam,—A. B rites to thank yon for the letter of thism'ornin*. and 1 think everyihingis vary clean, but i hare one thing toname-that is 1 nave alrv' ty., baea accustom to black caps; am* I am sory’tr, tell you that is one lair, that is alt 1 have to name If yon alter this I thould like to A 1 your place, t nave been aocustom to noblemans kitchen, and underctauds my du,ys. 1 1 hi ,k youreervsawvmd saamevery we 1 lam eory to mane any complaints! but if it la not your wish to alter this, 1 think I had better decline it. 1 am yonr hnmbell servant, A. B. The system of service is so different in this coun try from what it is in the old that no one would think of making the requisitions which “Truth” does. Our servants are very zealous la attending church, hut perhaps they are equally zealous in the we&rin gof feathers and flowers. The wages at pre sent f average about two dollars a week,'the very “ greenest” hands demanding one dollar and seven ty-five cents per week, and good cooks receiving ten dollars per month. It is to be admitted they do a great deal with their money. They dress, if not al waj a with taste, yet almost invariably in a style which most seem luxurious to them, and by which they might easily, at a dlstanee, be mistaken Tor fine ladies by any eyes except the educated ones of ladies themselves. They save many a dollar which they send over to the old folks at home, and in many cases the; not only pay all the expenses of a friend’s or relative’s im migration, but even for a time support that relative or iriend after hie arrival here. They are, as a class, persevering in trying to get something to do, and, as the saying is, leave no stone unturned to And a niw place when the old one, from any rea son, grows distasteful. It is especially uncomforta ble lor any one of them to become a burden to friends who are better off, in the intervals between losing an old place and finding a new one. It id a cause of keen mortification to the “greenest” of j green bands to be joked at aa receiving for wages only one dollar and a hair, whilst her more suecete ful sisters glory in one dollar and seventy-five oents, and upwards. The mutual twittlngs and ri valries In their secret oonolaves cause, in many in stances, the presumptuous demands made by those who are supposed to suffer under the obloquy of i having “just come over.” ■Without stating each and all of the reasons which have produoed a constant dissatisfaction between mistresses and servants, It is fair to pre sume that unpleasantnesses of the elass which haß been mentioned are motive powers. Housewives affirm lhat “girls,” as they are termed, were never more insolent and upstart than at present. The epithet girl, by the way, is a conventionalism, which includes all the ages of female help, from seven up to seventy. It is stated that nowadays a girl engages mistresses, instead of being engaged, and that before she can at all consent to eonfer upon them the priceless advantage of her counsel and ex ample, she puts them through a culinary catechism, and requires them to subscribe to the thirty-nine arti cles, and more, if need be) of her domestic doctrine, whatever that may happen to be. If the complaints ol mlstresses-are implicitly to be accepted, It will be seen that the servant is the party most to blame in the housekeeping difficulties at present so prevalent. La dies who know how a house should be kept, aud are most diligent housewives themselves, declare that a new hand, who comes to this oountry perfectly ignorant of the smallest duties required of her, and without even having seen one-hail of tne utensils and articles of furniture with whioh those duties Will largely be concerned, will demand as high wages SB older and more experienced hands. Help being immediately needed, the new servant Is en gaged. Her delects are aeen at onoe. If a reduction in terms is hinted at the domeatle leaves directly; or if the mistress is forbearing and patient, and in structs the gtrl carefully in her duties, the mistress is rewarded, nine times out of ten, in the speedy de sertion of the recruit with all her newly-acquired education.- So much for the statements of the mis tre£o* ... Servants on the other hand make oomplatnts both loud and long. They say they are treated more like beasts of burden, than like rational creatures. They say it is not reasonable that they should be expected to do quite all the work; that the; should be required to miud the baby in the middle of the wuhlng, and that on Saturday, after the last dinner dlah hag been waahed, and the last patob of floor, oloth aorubbed, they ahould be re quired to take relaxation In the ahape of dragging Master Frank (ege three yeara and alx month.) around the tquare to hi. little wagon. They .ay that Mrs. Ideaneit Whitewoman U no lady, when .he le&vg. one spare rib, and a potatoe with a oore in it, on Mary Jones’ plate for dinner. They pro. nonnee againat Mu. - liookstiob, when she looks up. the cupboard where the tea and sugar are kept, and even turns the key on the refrigerator. They regard with eye. or aver •ion, Ml.. Amelia, who ring, them all d.y long from attic to basement, and from basement to attfto, as if they were so many never- wearing out maohnlei, for which she had taken out a patent. And they enter tain an unuiitlgable hatred against Beeky Sharp and all ber family, by whom they are owed tfcree montha’ wage., which never will be paid. They oherieh an ih-concenled diegu,t for young gentlemen who can not and will not blaok their own boot., and for the rey faeed, atarohed-oollared head of the family who swear, at them melodiously over the bannister., and Whole tuneful oath, lend a cheerful aspect to a com . plianee with hli direction, about the broiling of a mutton-chop, or the oomvolition of a Welch-rabbit. These onDoyanoe., a. well a. thoie directly due to the niietreia Otic If, are almost Invariably placed to her oooount by the servant. The mlstre.aof a house* bold is to Invert It throughout with her spirit, or she will not esoape acatheleu. Iu our judgment, of these mutual complaint, no hast; deeirton 1. to be made. If wo have not dwelt upon them In altogether aa sedate a vein as might have beeD employed, it Is not beoause we desire to think trlflingly of them, bat beoause, In some of their aspeets, they have seemed to look better in a humorous light. Almost every housekeeper has at sometime or other had a really good servant— 1 a treasure.” Perhaps these ‘‘treasures” would not be so anomalous, if housekeeper* themeelre, were not so careless In -the giving and inquiring after . characters. It should be a rule that no good charac ter should be given of a bad servant, that no domes- Uowbo has proved incompetent, dishonest, or ne glectful, or Indolent, should be spoken of, in answer to inquiries concerning her character, in terms which would eonoeal those faults. We think U tots rule were odnrageotuly adhered to, servants would not be so sure of finding placet without trouble. When one housekeeper inquires of another the character of a servant she wishes to be told the truth, and no mistaken Wnme*» 0 r oowaidly shrink- Kitchen and Parlor. lug from wHa* ia unpfeasant should pravent an utterance of St. It thlw rule tv.se observed ser vants would CM be so naisui to change planes. Character once gone, it would be difficult to regain the position forfeited. One duty Which mistresses owe to their servants la to provide them with plea ■urea.. Some latitude should be allowed for ocaa. aional amusement; hooka and newspapers should be placed at their disposal, at seasonable hours, aud a kindly interest should be evluoed. not only ill their improvement In mere household duties, in whidrthe mistress herself la materially interested, bat also iu any of the little personal interesta which the frlendli. ness that should exist between mistrins and'servant may bring to light. Without deseeading'tO the low level of gossiping with your domestic, you may yet evinoe in her affairs a eoncern which, if expressed with tact, she will gratefully appreciate. Where two or three servants are employed, separate beds at least, if not separate rooms, ought to be provided, and eveiy suitable asrsegement made by which every aeivant can daily eDjoy at least a few mo menu of privacy. Ikis s mean sodselfllc policy which confines all the comforts, not to apeak of luxu ries, ol a bouse In the rooms common to the family, and which furnishes the attic aud the kitahen with accommodations for the servant whtoh are little Jess than wretched. Without dwelling farther on the euhject, nothing can be more true than that most oi tbe culinary oomplaints'now prevailing' might be silenced or diminished by a little conside ration for each other on the part of mistress and maid. THK TV All. Affairs in tbe Army of tbe Cumberland. HAADQunuTitBB, 12tu Ashv OoaPB, Ttroi. ahoka, Tejm. v Feb IS; 1864. A NEW OUTRAGE BY GUK&IstsAS. Lincoln county has again- benn We scene of guerilla atrocities. As Colonel-KeMlium jyss re turning from Mulberry yesterday wsth a spall force, a' party of desperadoes*was-lying in tyalt, ®oor fldehtly hoping to make a victim of that, gallant officer. But, fortunately for, him, two of his meu asked and obtained permission to go in advance, and as they were passing along the road, unsus picious of danger, a volley came from behind a fince, and both feu dead,' Tnelr horses, money, and watches were seized, and the murderers were about making off with the booty, when the column ap proached, A detachment of General Slocum’s eccoif, 4th East Tennessee Cavalry, gave pnrsult, killing one of the villains, and capturing ; a number ol horses. The guerilla force in that neighborhood ia sup posed to consist of about fifty men, fourteen of whom were seen on this occasion. Several scout ing parties are now on the track of these murderous and thieving bands, and every effort will be made to capture or disperse them. This new outrage has been committed while a heavy band was resting on the people of Lincoln for previous offences, and if the punishment already imposed has been severely felt, they wiii have canae to redouble their writbings, under the accumulated vengeance ol the Government, Retribution will ne rigidly exacted. The 3d Wisconsin Veteran Regi ment has been cent to Fay ettevllie, tha conoty seat, to enforce the orders of Generals Slocum and Thomas. The county records were ‘brought to.this plaoe to day, in accordance with orders irom General Giant, that corps commanders should immediately seize, or cause to be seized, all records or documents showing titles to property within their respective districts, and retain the same until they can tie delivered to some authorized tax-commissioner cl the United States, In Bedford county, where tho peopje are almost unanimously loyal, tbe public buildings at Shelby viile were long since destroyed, arid the records scattered to the winds. A NEW WAY OF PAYING OLD DEBTS. General Slooum has devised a happy method of providing subsistence for those families whose oa tural protectors are in the rebel asiny. It Is emi nently proper that these persons, women and chil dren, should be supported by theirdisloyal neigh bors, Tbis idea has been improved upon, and it has been accordingly ordered that they be taken to Fay etteville, where they will be furnished with such quarters as the place affords, and that eontributiohs of all necessaries be levied onthe citizens of Lin coln county. Let a rebellions population support its own. Other destitute persons are to be sent to Nashville. The sale of eupplies to officers in greater quantities thaw is required tor their own use is pro hibited. Thus the number ofrationsto be issued will be materially decreased—the weight of treason will be thrown on the shoulders ol the rebels- themselves —our lines will be cleansed of a disreputable and pealilential class, and altogether it is a most salu tary measure. HOW THEY EE* ENLIST. The gratification wlib which we announced the noble alaerity displaced by the- troops ol the Twelfth Corps in entering the veteran service, threatens to be eclipsed by the pleasure of noting their return to the field. . Two regiments, the 3d. 'Wisconsin and 66th Ohio, have arrived, and as sumed their respective places in their divisions. The furloughs of other regiments are rapidly ex piring, and it'ls expected that they will all be with us again within a week. The 27ih Indiana has been prevented from going home on account of the absence of so many other regiments, but the order for their departure has been received, and they will be off at once. To day the work of putting out of sight and smell the numerous carcasses of dead animals, that lay in dose proximity to this place, has been in progress. It gave employment to a number of pri soners—some of whom were citizens, some soldiers, and the rest contrabands—who would otherwise have been pining in the guard* house for want of ex ercise. The job was not very rellshable, but they may consider themselves fortunate if no greater punishment is inflicted. The guerillas are hovering in the mountains around Tracy City, They are said to be anxious to get into a store where a superior quality of boots are kept, but the Federal force stationed there, though small, has taught that discretion is the better part of valor* M. S. I#. THE ESCAPE FBOJ& LIBBY. Washington correspondence of the Tribune gives further description of the remarkable escape of our officers from the Bichmond prison: Libby Prison is divided into there grand divisions, known as the Eastern, Western, and Central rooms. About the middle of December, eight of the more hopeful of the offioers commenced an excavation on the side of the basement of the mludle apartment, which was occupied as a dicing-room. This was continued carefully at Intervals until a sewer was encountered, when the attempt was giv c n up as a failure. They then removed some atoms of the fireplace, and commenced digging down obliquely toward the eastern base of the building, pushing the work by night, and replacing the stones carefully before daylight. The; cut their way with hatchets through a wail five feet thick of solid masonry, and then ran it directly outward under the street. They had large wooden spitteons, whioh diggers heaped with dirt in the narrow passage, and others drew out with ropes and deposited carefully in ob scure corners of an unfrequented cellar. By this time man; of the more amoitious entered heartily into the plot, thus keeping up the work through all the safe hours of the night. At last, after tunnel ing foity- five feet, they sought daylight. What was the dismay of the pioneer in the enterprise when at dusk be poked a hole through and found himself under the opposite walk, and within two feet of the beat of the sentries who guard the prison. As the ground fell in, be heard one outside calling another’s attention to the noise, and receive for his reply, “Bata.” The mistake was quickly corrected. The Captain quietly kept his hole, and a pair of old pantaloons was filled with dirt and atones, and lifted Into the cavity. The direction of the tunnel was now slightly chnngetf, and carried twelve feet fur ther, within the fence, and on feeling again, it was foui d to open under a shed in the very place in tended. The first man left the tunnel at 8.30 Tuesday even* lug, and wa. followed a. rapidly aa possible by the ' othera, and auch frienda aa they mignt designate to have precedence. Many In the pruon did not wish to take the chance of escape with the accompanying perila. Only one man Could be within the tunnel at a time lately, it being neeeaaary to admit fre.h air. 'The pasting oau.ed a great rumbling aound, which oreaTfcd constant apprehension of discovery. Et capes succeeded each other as closely as possible until daylight, when they atopped, and the pffleera witbin'awaitea the developineata of roll-call. The aentriea Beemed utterly obliviou. of everything, and to the fact that they were niw reeruita and recently put on duty ia aaeribed the complete auaceia of the movement. .. , , After leaving the anbterranean pamage, the fugi tives made their way through a wagon-houea and aerot. an open apace Into Canal atreet. . The night wa. not very dark, and aa they turned In different directions, in oguads of three to aix, they aaw the .entriei puling their Deat. Tram Canal atreet they Uruofc out in all direotlona, radiating from Biebmond north, aouth, and eaat. In planning and acoompliahing theeioape, they were aaaiated by no co-operation from outside whatever. They all left the ahed and the oity in the fame blue overcoata they bad worn in prison, trusting in their own saga city and the cover of darkness foraafety. It la believed that more than hair or those who got out of the prison will reaoh oar llnei. The officer, who are now to here were from flve to eight days to getting from Bichmond to WillUm.burg, and think that many more will follow anooeasfully down the Peninsula, that aome will eaeape via the Army of the Potomac, and that othera will eventually be heard from to North Carolina. The narratives ol their dangerone flight aoMSi the country are various, but somewhat similar to that of officer, who have eaaaped before. Molt of thoie arriv d .truck northeastward, avoiding the Ghioka bomtny swamp, and came down thePeniniula via the 'White House. Many of them either encoun tered or aaw and avoided rebel cavalry scouts, scour, tog the country in search of them. MATTEBS AT CHARLESTON. Col. Davis, of the 104th Pennsylvania, writes to the Doyleaton Democrat: Mourns Iblaud, S. 0., Feb. 4, ISM.—Every few dayi we get reliable news from the other aide, aome of the moat interesting of which, however, i« contra band.

Reception op 93d Reoiment at Lebanon, Pennsylvania,—TWs regiment, after undergoing moie than two years hard service in the Army of the Potomac and being engaged in a number of severe battles, returned to Lebanon on the 9th last., under the command of Colonel Long, having re* enlisted for Three yean. The regiment entered the service with 1000 men,and now numbers but about 400 rank and file. They received a brilliant and warm welcome at the hands of their friends and neighbors, thousands of whom turned out in procession with banners and music to receive their heroic friends of the 93d. This regiment was raised mainly under the au»pi* ces of Ghianson Coleman, Esq., of Lebanon Far* naces, aided by other gentlemen Of influence, pro* minent among whom were J. W. Eillinger, X. X. Woitb, D. M. Karmany, John George, Wm. Shirk, and others. Mr. Coleman has made the regiment an object of special attention, and has spent thou sands of dollars in promoting the suocess of the common cause. The late demonstration will re main locg in the memory of Lebanon. One of its chief features was the eloquent speech of welcome by Mr, Chav. B* Forney. The folio wing interesting passage W 6 quote: The events that are transpiring around ui. the his torical record that you have inscribed with your swords and bayonets, as well as this imposing occa sion, all remind us that our lot has been cast in the most remarkable era of the world’s history. It be comes more apparent every day in the gradual deve lopment of God’s providence, that the great war in wbichwe are engaged must be fought through on the broad and expansive principle of universal liberty, Without conditions or reservations. And here on tae American continent it is evident, from all the indi cations of the times, that the grand struggle Which is to decide in favor of, or against, the rights of man, is now taking place. You have sustained distinguished parts in the great drama that is now being enacted lor the establishment of pure republican institutions throughout the length and breadth of the land, from the St. Lawrence to the Guir, and from the Atlantic to the and for the gallant share that yotl have taken in the fearful conflict, we assemble here to welcome you, and to greet you with the honors and applause that arc due to the true soldier of free* dom. As such yon will henceforth take rank; and I trust that you may be able to say in the future, tuat you were participants in the last great blow that was struck for the overthrow of despotism, here and everywhere else throughout the world.' The throes of agony through which our beloved country is passing, aad the muttering* of revolution in the Old World, point significantly to the approach of a new and purer politloal dispensation than man kind have ever known before. It is an inspiring and sublime reflection to you, to be able to say that tbe sword and musket in your hands helped to briog about the millennium of pure and unsullied liberty Which is now dawning in matohlesß splendor on our redeemed and regenerated country, and casting its cheering gleams atbwartthe long and gloomy night i of bondage and oppression, whicn has prevailed for ; ages throughout other countries. Goa hasten the. ; grand woik oi man’s dlsinthralment, and the ap ' proach of the day when He will break the fetters, of the last slave, and put the song of freedom on the tongues of all nations. Since you marched forth from your original en campment, into the field of action, there have been many and striking changes, and not the least sur prising are those in tbe sentiments of thegreat mass of our people in regard to slavery, which is no longer eountesaoced with indulgence, but stands out boldly and clearly in public estimation as the most gigantic State crime in modern history. Its horrible fruits, pictured in the rebellion, prove that its turpitude cannot be exaggerated, aud the good and tiue men ot all parties now unite in the expres sion of the determination to wash their hands of all complicity in it, and to work together for its final and complete overthrow. This result, so grand and far*reaching in its consequences, was unforeseen, and can only be attributed to the leadership of the Arbiter of the Universe; and if we would work out the exalted destiny that He has reserved for us, we must resign ourselves to His guidance, and Inscribe on our banners the mighty truths of His revelation, and give prominence to those that declare that all men are created free and equal, and endowed with certain Inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Whilst we rejoice over the brilliant achievements of your arms, we must hot forget to express our gratitude for the signal and wlde-spreail triumphs of the Truth , which! is {embodied in the principle that 11* berty is the indisputable inheritance of man. Now, that this self-evident proposition is loomiog up brighter and clearer as the war progresses, we are dneoveriug how wide has been our departure from tbe landmarks ol our fathers, in laying down the foundation of our Government. We had forsaken and stigmatized their lofty teachings as fanaticism, but through the moat drbadlul yet deserved chastise ment, we are learning that— Tmlh crashed to the earth trill rise again, Hers are the e'ernal years of God; But error wounded, writhes In pain, and dies aieio her worshippers. Mr. Forney woe followed, in an admirable speech, by J. W. Killinger, alter whloh the band struck up " Old John Brown,” amid a scene of wild euthuai asm, the whole regiment sitting down to an abuu d»ut feast, prepared for them by the citizens. Of the 93d 284 men, about 160 of whom are from Lebanon county, have re-enlisted; of the sotn some SO from Lebanon have re enlisted. A New Wat op Expbebsihg OONTKMrT,—There must have been a remarkable change of opinion la Bradford county. Pa., withlu a few years. Not long ago, when the Bank of Pottatown issued its Bee dollar notes, James Buohanan was so popular theie that his portrait was engraved upon one owner of the bill, and nobody thought of defacing it la the remarkable style that has prevailed eince the begin ning of the war. A banker, who is a curiosity-hun ter, has shown Jus a bundle of thirty-eight of these five-dollar notes, in twenty of whioh the word “Traitor” is written across Buohanan’s forehead; in others the letter “T ” la branded; on one the fol lowing words appear: “ (Jive him his desertsand on another is written, 11 Ye ould divil,” and still an other bests this inscription: “ False to his country and his God, but true to the Democratic party.” Some ingenious individuals, at a loss to express their contempt in words, resort to symbols; one has drawn a oopperhead- snake, wriggling in the mouth of Buohanan, another decorates the head with a can and bells, and a third encloses the neek within a noose whioh is attached to a gibbet. These ourlsus me thods of indicating contempt are not of a very high order, but they show bow Mr. Buchanan is now re garded in that part of Peansylvsnia in which he was onee so great a favorite.—N. ¥. Port. Bourns Loyalty,— Franklin county borders on a slave State, and the citizens of the border south ern Slates have mingled freely, and often become citizens of our section. Some suoh retained their Southern views, and heartily sympathized with the rebels in their effort to overthrow the Government; while a few of our own people have gone soutn. But our people are not to be judged b?‘heseexoep tlonal eases. Fltzhughisa 1? till had any other than a temporary resldeuoe in this county.

For many years there has been a steady stream of emigration from Southern Pennsylvania to the worn-out lands ol the slave-breeders in Virginia, and there are scores in out eounty still who would be rebels if they were not greater cowards than traitors. —Chaijtbcrstmrg Repository.

It would have been well had Mr. Charles Beecher possessed the power of Condensation for which we have praised tbe last-named author. Tbe Best volume of the 41 Autobiography Cerre.poadenbe, of Lyman Beecher, D. D.,” edited by Charles Beecher, has just been published by Harper fc - Brothers, aud contains 663 pages, 12 mo. Tne second volume, we suppose, will be equally diffuse. Oree 1,100 pegea devoted to the uneventful life of -A clergyman is, indeed, rather too muon or n good thing. The biographer evidently holds the belief that mankind consists of three olastea—men, wa> men, and theßeeober family. Mostuf Dr. Beeaheifs children have exhibited talent, (Mrs. Stowe and Benry Ward Beecher particularly ao,) but that care not excuse the diflustnett of this cumbrous whioh ia not an sufo-biography, but was pumped out of the old gentleman, near the close of his leag lile, by A aeries of questions put by his children, the answers to which are given la full) Some times the initials of the respective querists are np> pended, tbe whole reminding us, rather ot the cross-examination of witnesses in a court of law, as reported in the public journals, The'UHsl editor, instead of cutting out a great deal of twad dle, and giving only the really interesting matter seems to have sacredly preserved it all.. For ax.as pic, in a notice cf Dr. Beecher’s study, at Tale Col lege, the following aneodote of President Styles In given: 11 One of our class once dropped a copper OB tbe floor at recitation. The old gentleman paused; looked up severe and stern, and, when alt was hush ed, went on •gain.” Tbe boob it crowded with things equally pretty and useless. Hit Diary Is Tull ol them, but his children evidently think that hia ■ shifting from the green room to the brown room is of interest to the world! We are told (p. 125), tuat Dr. B.’a lir.t child was born September 6, 130 Q, and (p. 128),that hia oldest aon was bom on Jan uary 16, 1801, which ia exactly, nineteen weeks later. This case ought to be reported in medical books. Bating the tedlousneas whioh makes the volume twice as long as it ought to be, there is much readable information here, diver sified with pleasant personal anecdotes. There ia a great deal of trivial matter about various members of the Beecher family, including de tails of their childhood, and even their early at* tempts at letter-writing, - Moreover, much of the good old man’s own correspondence (with hia fami ly) might have been omitted, with advantage."-. In short—no, at much length—this ia the. moat lire grant specimen of mere bookmaking that hatcone under our notice for some years. Of course, the publishers have done their part well—as the llar peis always do. The book has good paper, print) and binding, and bet idea portraits of Dr. Beecher, at the reapectivcage of 28 and 68, has well engraved vignettes, representing localities associated witb Dr. Beecher’s life, at the heads of several chapters. The publications of Messrs. Harper, we may mention, are on sale at Upplneott’s and at Peterson fc Brothers. Very different from this diffuse and lumbering book is “Father Mathew; a Biography: by John Francis Maguire, M. P., author of 1 Rome : ita Ruler and its Institutions,’ ” whioh haa been republished by D. & J. Sadlier, New York. When this work appeared in London, a few weeks ago, we gave suck a long notice of it, in anticipation, that we are not now called upon to review it In detail, Fatnec Mathew lived in Cork, from 1814 until his death In December, 1866, and his biographer, who is now Mayor of Cork lor the third year in succession, knew him there from the early year* of his own ehildhood. Mr. Maguire la known, in and out ef the British Parliament, as a very earnest member, and even ohamplon, of the Church of Rome. In this book; however, no one can see his particular faith,—he writes as a Christian deeply impressed by the example of Father Mtthew, at once the Apostle and Martyr of Temperance,—that uncanonlzed saint who, in bis mission of morality and humanliy, ever repudiated dlfl'erences of polltlos and distinctions of -belief. He haa told the story of Theobald Mathew's self-devotedness with a simplicity which is some times grand, and with a genile and generous feeling -that will recommend the book to all Christians, whatever their modes or faith. There is introduced, also, amid much serious naria tive, occasional sketches of Irish character and specimens of Irish humor, whioh relieve the history, and make the book intensely national. The whole account of Father Mathew’s visit to the United States is especially interesting. Mr. Maguire might easily have expanded his biography into two vo lumes. He preferred concentration to diffuseness, and the result is a gain to his readers. The frontis piece Is a steel engraving, by 11. B Hail, from a. portrait by E. J. Harding, painted in 1844. We asn personally vouch for the fidelity of this likeness, having known Father Mathewfrom an early period. This book can be purchased, we suppose, at all the bookstores. We have commended the neat manner in which the preceding books have been got up. It gratifies us to be able to pay a similar compliment to a vo lume, the first separate publication, we believe, of a Aim hitherto ohiefiy known as agents for the supply of Worcester’s Dictionary. A professional work Is made additionally acceptable by the accessories of handsome binding, good type, and excellent paper. Martin A Randall, South Sixth street, have bestowed all these advantages upon a. lime volume, (pp. 319,) entitled 11 The Ear: ita. Diseases and their Treatment; bp Dr. F. A. Von, Moschzitker,” who is a practising oculist and au.-iefc in this city. He puts it forth as “the first original work of this bind ever published la America,” that is, not “ metely republioations of English or trans lations of French and German works.” The au thor draws largely upon his own experience, and accepts information from foreign aouroea. His chief object ia to supply the medical student and the young practitioner with a trustworthy guide to the treatment of ear dleeaaee; but he has written, alto, for the general public—for their sake, he has written In a popular as well as in a scientific, man ner, and has appended an elaborate Glossary. The text is illustrated with numerous engravings o> wood, and concludes, under the head of “Aural Literature,” with a catalogue of books upon the Ear, from the revival of anatomical atudies in the 16,h century to the present time. The work fe elaborate without being obscure, and, we are confi dent, will be found uselul to all who have occasion to study or consult it. The remarks on Dietlties should be studied by all who hare charge of chil dren. 11 Dbbakthobp,” Alexander Smith’s volume of essays, which had. a remarkable success at its first appearance in England, has been republished Ik Boston, in very handsome etyle, by J.
