, Gift-Boobs for the Season. : ‘
The promise Is that the number of holiday gift,
books for 1B6&-C5 will double the production of any
former year,. AtiPeJsrson & Brothers’, whore 'we
“happened In,’.’ yesterday, the plies of these publi
cations, to be sold within the next twenty days,
were really remarkable. They Include works of all
.sorts and sizes, from the publlshersof Philadelphia,
‘Boston, 'New York, and London—lncluding their,
own, among-which their reprint of Blokens, in some
twenty seven editions, and all varieties of bindings’,
figures handsomely. -' ; ~ ! ‘ ;
This year, our own publishers contribute exten
sively to this supply. Wv P, Hazard, Ashmead &
Evans, W. S. & A, Martten, J,B. Llpplngott& 00.,
Perkinpine & Higgins, the Presbyterian Board of.
Publication, Frederio Leypoldt, the_Amer|cari Sun-.
dhy School TThlon, Blhdsay & Bteklstbn, James
OhaUen, the Protest aat'pplscbparßook Society,
and, as extenslve.ae rifest any of these, Messrs. T>a
vis, Porter& 00., are all engaged in the produotlon
of Buch works here, and probably many others who ■
do hot advertise is.'
In New York, the chief providers of holiday iioois'
are Harper St Brothers,! I). Appleton do.,' jaUSes
. Miller, G. Wl Oarleton, Sheldon &,00, Oarlton St
. Porter, -James G. Gregory, and Hurd & Hough
ton. ' The ’ two publishing houses last named
have introduced the . novelty of printing in
"colors, after the"’manner of the supplements to the.
lllupAmtcd London News, and their books may be ,
compared, to their credit, wfth.tiose of the English'
press.-. . . ■ v, •
In Boston, we find all the loading houses engaged
in publishing for this Season. Tickndr &,Fields,
Robertsßrotliers,'lrfe&Siepperd, : Grbsbyi; Ains
worth, Taggard & Thompson, T, O. H, P, Burnham,
and’ J. E. Tilton are largely interested imthla par
ticular branoh.of.the trade. Among, the most re
eenrpf jhe'lilustrated books, published by Trcknor
& Fleidei Boston, isanew volume, with’ charming
woodengravtogsfrdm deßlzns by W. 1,. Ohamjney, :
entitled “ Clever Stories of Many Nations,* red-,
dered Into rhyme by John O. Saxe.” The poet has
taken a score of. the mtst popular taies 'and legends.
of all countries and re-cast themin £uch rhymes as"
’ few oanproduoe'sd well. It lspreclsely the hook
to read aloud, on a holiday night',' to a group of -ju
venile listeners, who take In every incident as truth.
“Following the Flag,” by the clever newspaper
correspondent whoße nomde plume is “ Oarleton,” is
ooptously Illustrated, and relates; In an attractive
form, what was done by the Army of the' Potomac
from August, lBsiy*o November, 1802-lts whole tflhs
with McClellan. The narrative of the battle- of
- AntSetam is one of the clearest and ablest we have
read. It speaks very plainly ,of tne tardy move
ments of McClellan. i
James G. Gregory republishes his beautifal books
of former years/and produces some new ones. 'Of
‘ these “ The Story of Little Bed Riding-Hood,” told
in yerse by Bichard Henry Stoddard, Illustrated by
Alfred Fredericks, and engraved tn colors by Bob
bett &. Hooper, takes the lead. It is a fine speci
men of color printing, (the vignette on the oover is
a gem,) and Mr. Stoddard, a true poet, has told the
story vary pieasant 1 y inexoeHent verso; a passage
where he describes the little 'girl In the wood, and
another In which her loitering In the meadow Is
toldyare “beautilhl exceedingly.” ■ The plot Is a
Uttle.changod, for the grandmother, isnot devoured, ,
in this” version, by the ruthless wolf, .-Another'of
; Mr. Gregory's new booksls Nathaniel Hawthorno’s \
- fanciful story, “ The Snow Image,” with colored il
lustratlons by Marcus Waterman. Itlsveryneat
ly got up. “ASeleotion of Way Lyrics,” withlllus
trations op wood by F. O. O.- Darley.contatns seven -
lyrics ofthe war by Ethel Lynn Beers, A. D.F. Ban
dolph, Edmund O. Stedman, B. H. Stoddara, and
George ;H, Boker. The best of these Is Stoddard’s
“Little Drummer,” whie&ls worthy of the pen of
Beranger. ~ “ Speotoropta, showing Ghosts every
where and of any color,” Is another of Mr. Grego
ry’s publications—ourlous to those who can “ see it.’’
T. B. Pugh has It on sale. - . .
Forest Pictures to Adlrbhdaeks, by Join A. Hows,
the artist, with original poems by Alfred B. Street,
consist of t sixteen views of romantic scenery, eh
’ graved on wood by Bobbett. & Hooper, New York.
These engravings are not bnly,flnely.exoou|ed, but.
printed With ench care that the most delicate lines
are brought out. Mr. Street, who Is familiar with
the. scenfa they .show, has Illustrated.them with
. many beautiful and vigorous poems. This is one of
Mr. Gregory’s most shoeessful books for the parlor
table.

«Tie Life-Beat,” by B. M. Bil!antyn?,ipmbUshed

‘.'Walter's Tour to the.EaSt,” by the Bov. Dr. D. C.

\ Carlton S. Porter, Hew York, republish; “ The' ;
Silver Casket; or, The World and-its Wiles;?’ by
the English lady whose author-name is A. L. O. E.
It would seem as If some attempt hs.d’been made
to Americanize this story. English women, writing
of money, would name-“pounds, shillings And,
pence,” not dollars and cents, and “ Esautre Dray-',
ton”ls not English, though Drayton'isi.
We mnst say that‘‘The Silver Casket” is. rafter
too serious a talefor ohlldren. • ... > , r
“The Grahams,” by Jane Gay Teller, published.
by M. W. Dodd, New York, is a simple and touch-’
jpg family history, well written and .very much like
what might have happened to any American house

Juft Gubernatorial mansion In Indiana isold. low,

spot to a swamp In dry woather, dnvisited by a
breath, of air thathas not taken up Its load of
miasma pn its way, and thatdoes not make its mark
damp death sweat on its walls when it leaves.
The very mortar rota out :of tbe.brlcke; and the
papering is spoiled with sickly splotches, The paint
U pale, net white, asrif *ifc had been 1 colored' by a
chronic chill, The flowers in the garden are half
choked with swamp grass, and most, of the trees
have di#d in disgust. Any one . who has ever
passed along either the Illinois' or - Market-street
walk, can x hardly hay© failed to notice the unfortu

its occupants has forgot Units unfortunate history.
It has been built nearly thirty years. Ithaschauged
occupants tour or fire times during that time, and
hardly one but has lost one or more members. It
has been a pest hole.. The venomous indications of
position and surroundings have been most fatally
xulfiUed by facts. Governor Whtteoomb’g Wife died
then, and his long residence there planted the seeds
of the malady that killed him. Governor Wright
lost two; wives there. Governor Willard was dymg
when he loft there, and his wife contracted tnsre
the lingering disease that killed her. Governor
Morton has been sick more within the four years of
his residence there, than In the twenty years before.
Mrs. Morton is just recovering from a long and
dangerous sickness, which is but the third or fourth
repetition of a similar affliction: Sickness broods
over the house, and seemß to settle, with maHgnant
persistence on the wives of Governors.

-THE SENSATION OF THE DAY.
An event took place at a few minutes before
eleven o’clock jeßterday morntng whtoh forms the
subject.of a sensation Item, and thus we narrate It:
tmi) HiltWlli/ iiftut [xijbglWltgUe UJ. atli. SAIUyeiMU. ill tit
magazinebf 'poWder had taken place. The' report ’
and shock oame. together .and .then followed seven
or eight lighter reports. - Everybody seemed to rush
into the streets down town, and the eseaplng steam
and black smoke issuing from Savery & uo.*s fonn
’ dry, [at Front and Seed streets,, gave rise to the
story that the boiler had-exploded, and- that the
: establishment waFredaOed to a heap of ruins. . In
ypffiffitteg- our way to the .scene of destruotJon, a
woman, half frantic, rashedalong the a venae. She
said that Savory’s foundry was blown np.
« Are you sure, madamn”
.‘i Oh, yes, : ste! ' They’ve carried ont one dead
body; had no head on.’’
“ Sure he was dead 1” • ,
“Why,l»w’me,yes; sir, Ms head was off” The
woman-continued to state other marvellous things,
such-as “a human leg.heing picked-up In the navy,
yard.’’ l - -.
Still incredulous; we hastened towards the deso
lated pile of Iron, bricks, fire,, and human, flesh,
when sevcral|oacr "persons; coming from-the direc
tion of the deplorable, soene, reasserted the same
stories of blowing up, &o. ‘.Finally, upon reaching
the roundry, we loUnd everything safe. The clerks
were at their dutleaiand as calm as . a morning In
the rosy month of- June. little did they dream of
the -wild con stematiooflprevailing in a great part
of that section OP tSCtflty. On returning, we found
the Shutter; HoSS i Oompany’s membefs.already at
. their house, awaiting the first ring of thettele
graphlc signal. They-supposed that some big
boUer In another .section of tho olty had blown up,
and'that probably the services of the firemenwould
’be brought-Into re(iulßltion. Passing alone the
irstreets from the foundry, many wom>n and children
were hurrying to that.place, for they had husbands,
fathers, sons,-and dwothers working- there. The
excitement was equally as great as that attending
the disastrous explosion at Merrick 4t Son’s foun
dry, some time since, though it did-not last as long.
It was euriouß to watch the progress of events.
The story of tho- blowing up ofithe
penetrated to the very heart of the pity, producing
more or. less anxiety,,and many inquiries were made
. respectlnglt. ; , . - *-
■ An older well-known reporter Is vary apt to be
frequently accosted on such occasions, we will
give a,few Specimens of the,questions propounded
■'tons: . " - - : '
.“How many people were killed at the explo
sion t”
' “Is it true that' twenty human heads were
Brand 1” . * '. .
“That was a terrible affair, wasn’t it, Mr. Be-’
porter 1 Did the boiler explode 1”
“ "Was a leg found in thenavy yard
“I’spose there was no water In the boiler 1” '
“ Was the engineer billed I’t,
“ How Many oodles have been got out of the ru
ins 1” .
Did the place oateh fire i” . . . ; >■'
“IS It true that the scholars in the Beed-street
schoolhonse juinpedfrom the windows V’
These will suffice to show the. feeling that pre
vailed. :
Philosophically-inclined Individuals oamo to the
conclusion that Dupont’s powder mills had gone up.
Others suggested, as there was oneloud report and
a succession of lighter ones, that Fort Ivlililin was
the place of explosion. The first report and attend-,
lug concussion were caused by the magazine, and.
the others were attributed to the explosion of the.
carronades that point their muzzles riverward, or.
the hlg .shells stowed away within the. bounda
ries of that celebrated place.
The concussion was felt in every part of the city,
partionlarly ln,remote sections. The windows at
the Mayor’s office were shaken, the town-hall at
Germantown trembled, and persons .as far south as
the Feint Breeze racc-coui;BO felt ;the. earthquake.
< The realcause of-the affair was the explosion of.
the powder mill at Wilmington,JDol., an aecount
of which will be found under the appropriate head •

form, except when they were in charge of children. «»<*
then They* C'mld'flde inside the car. y •
Mr. B an«fck teetifled that, at Seventh and Fine
streets.'aKnc&orcd woman came in the-car: the con>
duel or told : her she must go on-the front platform; wit
ness opened the front door at the 'request of-the conduc
tor;’the woman stood in. the door, and caid ifrwae
strange sbeO&ntdnot sKkdown. there being plenty of
room; she kept on talhingf bat w tness .paid no atren
tidn to what she said; the conductor moderately put tn'«
hand on her, asking her to go out on the frontplat
form or'get off; she said she did not want to get off; the
conductor then put hie baud on her, and finally suc
ceeded in getting her out: when she got off the conduc
tor started towards the rear of the car,, when he was
struck by the woman several times; he then pushed her
.aside, but she did not fall; the driver was then ordered,
to go cn; witness thought the conductor treated her

J. B. IKeuney testified that the proseentrix got os
rihp car and&aid to the conductor, ‘‘Gee out of she road*
and let me fats” Hi® conductor did not see she was co**
- Joied, and passed her in; she shut the front door an<f
stood witt her backagainst it; some person Asked her
why Ebedid not sit down; she Bald she could not, cw
ng to the color of her skin; the conductor told her to
!@*-p quiet, ot get off the car; she continued talking,
■when the conductor paid she. must go off; he took hold
ofier, and bothwent off together; she then struck him;
he jumped on the car, when she struck him with a car
pet each; he gofcMs foot in her hoops then, and fell to
the ground;-there was some murmuring in the car bjr
the passengers before the’coniuctor spoke to her., I
The Commonwealth called in rebuttal James (Sol&ay,

he saw a car siop. a young woman being on the front
platforms -The conductor said she must get off. and
hen be kicked her and shoved her off. She clung, to
the carj.when the cot due tor jumped off and pulled her
off; did not see her fail Jnihe m*-lee, which continued
.five minutes. - Asthecar went off the'woman grasped
-at the conductor* who was running-after the car,, and
’he dragged her two yards, when he Shoved her off.
■J&r. Eemsey was recalled by the defence, and stated
thathedidnoteee tie witness Goldey on the corner ah
.-the time or the occurrence. The affray took place after
10 o’d<- ck, and not at 9, as Goldey testified'. .
1 Ur, Brown denied the right of this or any other com*
nanyto m»ke rules excluding any respectable person
roin the cars. He looked upon the role asmohfltrons* -
and supposed that after awhile these corporations would
order that none but aristocrats be permitted to ride in
the cars.. These corporations permit blacklegs*- inf
lame, women of the town, and everytbingelse,. to rid®
n the cars,' except those who have.•* blacktkia
3e thought these corporations should make rules
based on propriety, not complexion. "At this period'tha
'attempt wasbeing made toelevateihe colored race, and.
hey had been found to be fit for soldienh.to-fight th»
cattles of the country. He contended that the conductor
had no right to put the woman off under any circum
stances, and so asked the court 10 instruct the jury.
Mr. Brewater thought that the conductor simply
obeyed the orders of his Employers,, and if this company
had made regulations which were Unconstitutional* let
. them be taken before the District or Snprenfe Court and.
save the matter judicially determined. He contended,
hat the evidence of the pjosecab ix had been denied In
toto, and asked the jury to acquit his client and put the
■ costs upon the prosecutrix, who told a highly varnished
stoiy. ..."
Judge Allison reviewed the testimony, saying that if
the' conductor placed his hand upon the woman to gefc
her' to the front platform, he' would only have commit-'
ted an assault and battery of the most technical cha
racter. If, after the woman got upon the platform, shot
• acrcdin an angry, insolent,.violent, or disorderly man
ner, then the conductor haa & right to put her off, bat
he could not do bo becauseof his becoming angrnM With
the woman, or on account of her color. He thought
this company had'more humanity in their rules tham
some others. -.lndeed, with some of these corporations
• the rules werew terrible. hard£bip, and very oppressivu
to some'perßonft. - He had teen, a mother with a babe
stand owa front piatform in a pelting storm, and finally
the conductor* as a great cos cession, permitted her to
Jcome in the ear and sit upon the floor in the front of the
ear. He informed the jury that this company must
conform to the strict -letter of the authority expressly
jriveh them in their charter in making thetr rules; and.
dhe moment they went one hair’s breadth bfy mid that,
’they assume a power not belonging to them. -Ho
thought it would be acting ia_the dark to decide tha
, right of the company to-. makeuauch ■ rules and by*
laws as they seem proper, unless their charter wax
. case of Golnes was refereed to* and the opinion ot
Judge Bai e died In which he decited -that eorpcratiOiiA
had a right to exclude certalnindii idualsJudge Alli-w
-eon thought this decision was and referred to
cases such as persons with llgt ted. evars, or infectious
disease, or thoee who were filthy (firty. It was Ms
opinion that the defendant* should have brought toe
'charier of the company into court \o by what
• authority he acted. * He thought the corporations could
' relieve inemseives of much trouble by conceding to the
ptejudicesof .the community by planing cars upon, their
roads for. colored pers* ns* If this was not done, puhljo
Opinion would bieah down the present obstruction, and.
admit all persona, under, certain restrictions. In tha
-absence of express authority, a&shownby the charter,
or lmplitd authority necessary to ca..w out the power*
given by that charter, they hau no right to pass a by-law
excluding a certain class. • , , f
