Translated from the. German of George Blum and
Louis W*hl. By A. L. Wieter. Printed on the finest
tinted paper. Handroznely illustrated by White and
others. One of the beet fairy books yet issued. The
children are aUdelighied with it. Price $1.75. . v
The American Publishers* Circular of Sept. Ist says:
It is, acknowledged by everybody that the German
language is peculiarly rich in a class of stories com*
prehesoed under the term- “MiihreheD,’* which are
especially attractive to juvenile readers. The Grimm
collection has become almoftt domesticated 'in our
houses. We have here another brimming draught
brought up from the same olden well. It is just such a
collection as will delightthe hearfce of, bright bora, and
girls. We almost envy the little folks thepure* hearty
pleasure which the book v ill give them, ’as their wide
opened eyes go staringly from page to page, and their
little hearts beat an excited accompaniment, to the un«
folding of itrauge events Messrs, Ashmead At JBvans
have issued the work in the handsome style which it
deserves It is, in every way, a highly creditable spe
cimen of book-making The typography is admirably
executed, the paper is delicately tinted, and the bind
ing, the gilt top and the lettering, present an attractive!
external appearance. We should also add that there
are several approprl* te and expressive illustrations.; It
is both a pleasure and a duty to commend such a work.
BUSY HANDS AND PATIENT HEARTS;
Or, the Blind Boy of Dresden and. his friends. .A
story from Germany.. Price 65 cents.
From many flattering notices of this little book we
clip the following: *
This “Bapy Hands *’ we shall not soon forget. The
dariing bright little Magda, the support of'her rheu
matic old mother and blind brother, is as pretty and
helpful a Christmas picture as we ever set eyes on;
while good Master Tanzer’s and Mr Gloaming’s kind
ness to the poor afflicted ones will lead old and young
at Christmas time to think whose hearts and lot they
can make blither and brighter ere the new year is rung
in* We will not tell the story of the book, but beg our
readers who have children to buy it and read it tnem
selves. —■London Reader . . . -
One of the very destof recent story books for children.

fortune, and trial, and the final victory ft told with

Franols F. Blair, Sr.j and' -ffiontgomery, his son,
have gone to the fronts have been spending,
seme days with Generalf.GriSih. This visit is made
the foundation of which find
cueronoy la some of the papers and In
the correspondence of therNew jqumals. The
WatUmat InleUigmeer up and sifted
these rumors, whieh, it wl'W “all an Important i
political character,” the two sub
joined, which “obtain*then«lp credit.
1. That Jeff Davis seffirh ftpclal invltattonto lir.
Blair, by flag of truce, to yisit- him .at Richmond,
though lor what object Can ohiy bo guessed at.-The
quidnuncs claim that the heSult of fhe interview:
ahould It be held, wIU h&re Important
upon the rolatlons betwheqpio and South
ern States. ■
: 2. The other rumor IsThat Mr.lßlalr is charged
with an Important commission, which can only be
executed by dlreot communloStlon with tho Con
federate authorities. The,peculiar Relations exist
ing between Mr. Blair and-theifPrmdent tend to
obtain more general credence for thla seport.
The New York ebrntnenring pn these
rumors and the departure " iff thegjiessrs. Blair,
says:.:. . ' ' J !
It is understood that’ their errand is one of
peace; or, perhaps wo shoufil Hpreh-ccuratsly say,
to' see whether any terMßarion- of our .national
struggle la now attainaffie.’ tW'*, presume their
mission Is not in terms offiolab;’ but It absurd
to protend, considering, who iOjev are, land what
are their personal relations to toe President, that
It Is unauthorized. While wei eohslder Biehmond
about the least hopeful point* In -tlroi'Confederacy
at which to . seek an .eeeeptable peace, and regrot
that the Messrs. Blair, had not proceeded, or of
fered to proceed, d Irectto Kaielgh instead, and while
we can scarcely encourage hopes of any immediate
pacification as a resnltjiubls mission,.we yet rejoice
that It has departed, and are oonfldenti that lts In
fluences will.be salutary-and its ultlinato conse
quences beneficent. Per the Southern people need,
above an things, to he undeaeived with-pagard to
the origin. Impulses, and 'purposes ofthovyar for the
Union,’ They have so long been Incessantly told
that the North Is fighting for nnrei
striated dominion—for spoliation, devastation, and
rapine—that thousands who should know a great
deal better actually seem to believe It. The visit of
the Messrs. Blair to Richm'ond, and the proposi
tions which they will, there' (doubtless) jubinlt to
the Confederate chiefs, cannot be kopt from,the
knowledge of the South, and cannot fall try be
largely Influential In disabusing the Southern
mind. If it shall thence appear .that the
North wants nobody enslaved, but every
body liberated; nobody despoiled, '.hut the
rights and earnings of every human being placed
under-the protection of jnst and equal-laws,
then we say It Is scarcely possible that the fletoo
malignity, the.vengeful hate, whieh have thus far
animated the rebel m&Baes In their war upon their :
own country, can retain ther vlruleaae unmodiled.
And, at all events: ta this, missloi&the - civilized
world will see, even though Dixie shoufil obstinately
bandage its own eyes, the evidence of-A,spirit per- -
vadffig our loyal , people and thelrAaovernment
quite different from that perslstentra asertbed to
them bv their enemies. We are therefore Inclined
to attribute a profound significance to the visit of
the Messrs. Blair Ito Hiohmond, and to expeot from
It beneficent, even though not immediate, nor very
palpable results. ’, ; -:v -

Death of the Bon. Elratbena Cooke, ©f
. Ohio.
We see it announced that Hon. Eleutheroa Oooke,
of Ohio, has departed tMs life. His sons Jay Oooke
and Pitt Oooke are well known among oar most
eminent financiers, and eminent for their loyalty
end genius, and It is with pleasure that we transfer
' this record of Ms life from the Sandusky iteyisfer; .
£ * of’our landmarks Is gone. A cherished
ISSSSw* mS 4 an ? fathflr > ahelorea, respected,
and eminent olttoen la no more. Hon. Elentheros
Oooke died ,at hla late residence in this place on
Tnestoy, Deoemher 27. He was born In Granville,
by the General Convention, and his name, Eteultemsi
was given In commemoration of that event, don- •
sequently, he.has passed beyond the ripe age of
• seventy-seven y ears. At his death he was surround
ed by an his children, with one exception. His
daughter, Mrs.WlUlam G. Morehead, Is now in a
foreign land, and the sympathy of the writer and
many friends goes out In her behalf In this her great
affliction. May God comfort and bless her! •
: “ For nearly half a century Mr. Cooke’s name has
been Identified with numerous public enterprises
-and works of Internal Improvement, having in view
the development of the resources of Ohio and the
building up of the commerce of the State, aud'espe
cially of the city of his early adoption. Few men
have been more useful, persevering, and successful
than he In his lahprs for the public good. - He was
the pioneer of railroad enterprise in the West,
having been the original projector and one of the'
most earnest co-workers in the' construction and
early operation of the Mad Elver Railroad. This
was the first radlroad built west of the Allegheny
Mountains,-and the fourth In the United States.
“Mr. Oooke has served, at different times, and for
many terms, in both branches of the Legislature of
the State, and as a member of Congress of the Uni
ted States,-discharging his dntles as a legislator
with dlstlngulßhed abllity, faithfulness, and accept,
anoe to his constituents. When in Congress his
district embraced a large portion of Northern Ohio,
taking In Cleveland on the east and Toledo on the
west, and extending southward to Delaware county.
Some five or six Congressional districts have since
been formed put of his old district.
“As a lawyer and advocate he had few equals and '
no superiors In Ohlowhenhe relinquished Msprofes
- slon andretiredfrom public life many years ago, just
as the highest civic honors were within Ms reach,
But while he. turned from these with rare forbear
ance, and sought, with cheerftil content, the more
quiet pleasures of retirement, lie never lost Ms Inte
rest nor relaxed bis labor In behalf of the projects
of local and public utility which had commanded
his early enprgies, : and which In bis later years
Were brought to a successful conclusion.
. “As a friend he-was true, constant, and faithful,
and as a oltizen he’ loved his country, and shouted
‘victory,’even-on his death-bed, at the recent sue*
cesses of our armies. Down to the moment of at
tack by Ms lest Illness, he preserved la a remarka
ble manner the full'possession of hisdntelleotual
-faculties; and -with ah Intellect nndlmmed and
- strong with all its youthful .vigor, he quietly sunk
Into a gentle repoßO from whtoh'he never awoke; -
, .“ Bis wife (loved by Ml who know her) Is left, hut
not alone. She to sqrrdnnded by devoted children,
who will make her Bray- and happiness the chief
study of their lives. , She has the consolation of be
lieving the hut band of her, youth, the partner of her
lire for more tbhnxfifty.two years, whomshehas ably
seconded In all. Ms undertakings, has gone, with a
Christian’s trust, to nap’ln abettor world the re
wards of a llfe of usefulness In this.” .;
Ah Ergi,ishm:ab’s Opinion of Gxnxbai, But
nen.—Goldwln Smith, who has just" returned' to
England, while here vtottingr the Army of the Poto
,mac, wrote a letter to the London News, from which
we make the following quotation:
- “ I saw, with the greatest Interest, the negro troops
encamped close to the scene of oneof their most
gallant exploits, the storming of the entrenchments
on New Merket Helght.. There can be no doubt, I
think, that these men are now- the acknowledged
and respected brethren in arms of the wMtes, This;
to give tbe-Beast as well as the DevU:hb due, to the
work of General Butler. That man’s Indomitable
energy hnd toon-will (qualities written on Ms face
more plainly than on any other face I ever beheld,
unless It be.the portralt of Cromwell) have crushed
all-the obstacles that stood In" the way of this great
moral and social revolution. Ferro Os libirtas pro
veniet—the bayonet shall be their liberator—la the
motto of tbo medalJie has caused to he struok for
the negro soldiers: and he has made this motto a
practloaltruth. -Twill not’attempt to anticipate the'
calm judgment,of history-In an hour of passion by
dtoousslng'the controverted parts of Ms career.
- “To me be seems to be Hi all points, good and
evil, the model of a revolutionary chief. He was
the first thoroughly op grasp the Idea of the revolu
tion being fulfilled by the virtual 'destruction of
slavery; he Is the first, as you see by his New Tdrk
speech, to announce in broad terms.a polloy of am
nesty and oblivion. Like Danton, be has ‘walked
straight on Ms .wild way,’fearless of danger and
Somewhat reekless or opinion. Ido not worsUp re
volutionary characters. I hate the element from
which they spring, as I love the calm progress of
regular Improvement. But a revelation has come,
and I suspect that In its melancholy annals Butler
will occupy a broader and perhaps a less odious
pago than to commonly supposed.”

a timely measure, in view of the prosseot before us
touching the relations of business and the currency.
With’the dosing np of our civil war, the return
of. commercial ■ values to : a normal basis, must,- to
all appearances, come a reaction from our present
condition of apparent prosperity more severs than
ever before experienced in this country. This
shrinkage of values, together with the general
paralysis of business and Industry .which must
necessarily follow the withdrawal ef that grand stimu
lus, an inflated paper currency! coupled with the im
mense Government demaud, for staple commodities,
must iavclve the collapse of hnndredsof plethoric for
tunes, and scatter fictitious wealth like chaff before the
wind. Our great mercantile communities, estimating
their gains by a false, standard; and encouraged to ex
tend their operations by a general advancing tendency
in prices, have'in too many eases built their house upon
the sand rather thamupon the rock; and when the floods
shall come and the tempest beat upon it, the fall there
of. It is to be fearhd, will be great indeed.
It is true that, thus far, during the progress of the
war, there have been very few failures among business
men, notwithstanding the great-fluctuations in gold and
general values. This has beenpsrtly owing to the fast
that the disposition to overtrading has been in a mea
sure checked by. these fluctuations,and partly to the.
abundance of currency and ease of the money market,
' which have ettabled'the majority of mercantile opera
tors to hold over every temporary depression in prices.
