THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1885. N
New Curiosities of Literature,
Mr. George Augustus Sala, a smart
Bohemian on the editorial staff of the
Daily Telegrapli, in London—the per
sistent assailant of American institutions
and the paid organ of “ Confederate " trea-
son—came over to this country, some four-
teen months ago, as “ Special Correspon
dent,” and upon so short a notice that
he -was compelled to leave some of his work
unfinished in London. Part of this was a
novel, entitled “Quite Alone,” which
Mr. Charles Dickens had -engaged him
to write, as a serial, for All the Tear soynd.
In most cases, Mr. Dickenl, like a pru
dent editor, takes car,e to have every, arti
cle and every series of articles completed
before he begins to print them in his perio
dical ; .but, on this occasion, circumstances
induced him .to deviate from the practice.
Half of “ Quite Alone” had been placed in
hands, had been read, had been approved,
and Mr. Sala was about completing the
story, when the sudden resolution to de
spatch him to the United States, as special
reporter for the Daily Telegraph, was an
nounced, and he had to leave England
without delay. Mr. Sala, to do him jus
tice, is not only an able and ready but
also a very hard-working and generally re
liable author. Mr. Dickens, having, had
many years’ experience of these qualifica
tions, (for Sala’s reputation first arose,
years ago, from his Dickens like articles
in Household Words'), took his word for it
that he would send the completion of
“ Quite Alone” from this' side 'of the
water, and it is said, indeed, that Mr,
Sala promised and intended to write it
on his voyage hitheT, The result was
that “Quite Alone” was commenced in
All the Tear Sound early last spring. Its
author was able to make a bargain,- at New
York, for the copyright in this couutry, and
its publication was commenced in. Har
per's Weekly, on March 4, 1864. It ram
through that journal, aud has since
been republished here, in book-form, in
Harper’s Library of Select Novels.
Mr. Sala was so much occupied in Ame
rica with abusing our people, our institu
tions, our ladies, our soldiers, our generals,
our manners, and, above all, our came,
that he had little time for such purely lite
rary labor as the completion of hiß novel.
He-darted over the country, in, all direc
tions, from. New York to Canada, from Ca
nada to Washington (during which jour
ney he found that Philadelphia was situat
ed “on the banks of the Susquehanna”),
from Washington to the West, thence back
to New York; after that, a flight to Mexi
co, whence he returned in a huff because
the authorities did not pay him sufficient
respect.; a little time at Cuba, followed by
a visit toNew Orleans; a tour to Saragossa,
which did not please him; a residence at
Niagara, on the Canadian side, where he
took sweet counsel with Geobob N. San
ders, and at the command of his proprie
tors, a return to England as. sudden as his
departure had been. ‘ No' wonder that the
occupation of good living, to which he has
no decided antipathy, the claims of society,
(for some people, at New York, thought
him somewhat of “ a lion,”) and the drain
upon his mind of from three to seven columns
of original correspondence by every mail to
England so much absorbed him that he
delayed writing the continuation of “ Quite
Alone;" and, at last, when he compelled
himself to the task, having about a hun
dred and twenty pages to supply, found
that he had lost the thread of his narrative,
and, it seems, withja “devil-may-care”
resolve, determined hot to supply the de
siderated manuscript; at all. Of course,
there came-a time when, no “ copy" ar
riving from Mr. Sala, it seemed likely
that the readers of All the Tear Bound and
Harper's Weekly would demand‘the com
pletion of the story, and object to its being
left unfinished—a literary torso. Mr.
Dickens cut the Gordian knot with as
much decision as Alexander had treated
Ms; another writer was commissioned to
wind np the tale, which was done, as Mr.
Sala found, more to his surprise than satis
faction, when he returned home. Judging
from internal evidence, we should say that
Mr. Sala’s part of the work ended with
the fifty-seventh chapter, when, after the
burial of her mother, the heroiue is re
moved by Jean Baptiste Constant to his
hotel. The story is hurriedly wound up,
after that, in three more chapters.
Whether Mr. Sala can have a legal re
medy against Mr. Dickens for thus getting
“ Quite Alone ” brought to a dose may be
a mooted point, but he certainly has cause
to complain of Mr. Dickens’s literary Man
Friday. In the first chapter, a certain Sir
William Long, a fashionable man-about
town, is stated to be “dose upon fifty
yearsbut, in the last chapter, it
is necessary to marry him to a young girl
of seventeen or eighteen, it is said “he
was fqrty.” When the story opens, a
pretty horse-rider in Hyde Park is intro
duced—the heroine of the tale—who is
“ not in her first youth—not in her second
yet,” who never turns up again,. on the
saddle, through the whole tale, but is still
in her teens at the end. In the middle of
the story, Francis Blunt, the heroine’s
father, puts a thousand-franc note into the
toe of his boot, before he comes to a bad
end and the Morgue, in Paris, and Mr.
Sala’s substitute never even hints at what
became of it—his prindpal would have
worked it up into something remark
able', we may be sure. There are many
other broken threads not taken up, we can
"see.
J. K. CAiBWm.I..
Mr. Sala arrived in-London when Chap
man & Hall, publishers of “ Quite Alone,”
were about issuing that work in three
volumes, having paid him for the copy
right. He supplied a preface, briefly stating
the facts which we have given in detail,
and promises that if the public will only
make haste and purchase that editiou,
he will write them a new last act. The
case is entirely unique in literary' his
tory.
j»2O-fmw«*
As for the novel itself, there is scarcely
a decent man or woman in it. Lily, the
heroine, is a good little creature, without
much brains. Sir William Long, the faded
baronet, who is fifty when he woos and
only forty when he weds, has some gene
rous impulses, and Madame de Kergolay,
the French Baronne, is a lady, thongh an
old one, from the crown of her head to the
sole of her foot. Nearly every person else
is Bohemian, and from the very worst
counties of that miserable Kingdom. It
will be difficult for anything which Mr.
Bala may write, as a last act, to -relish
“Quite Alone,” clever as it is, but we
should like to read his own finale, and
trust that Harper & Brothers will print
it, should it ever appear in London,
Another curiosity of literature is the
Almanack de Gotha —an indispensable hand
book for all ’who have occasion- to; write
about foreign countries, their rulers, offi
cials, revenues, taxation, possessions, po-.
pulation, naval, military, and ecclesiastical
statistics, and so on. Accepted as autho
rity all over the world, upon these matters,
rich in genealogies, and, in most instances,
with itß facts and.figures corrected or sup
plied by competent and responsible per
sons in the respective States, whose sta
tistics are here given, it is very .reliable,
and we have to thank Mr, F. Leypoldt,
1828 Chestnut street, for. sending us the
new volume for 1865.
The publication has been, delayed some
weebl beyond the usual time, and this is
believed, in Europe, to have arisen from a
sort of difficulty between Napoleon 111,
and Justus Perthes, its publisher. It is
reported that Napoleon remonstrated
against the continuance of the practice of
giving not only the Imperial genealogy
(Bonapartean) but that of the ancient
royal family of Prance—to wit, the Bour
bon! and the Orleans branches. This, he
thinks, is a .SOmi-acknowledgment of two
deposed dynasti*, the head's of which he
considers Pretenders. ’We havcnot heard
whether the King of Italy has also pro
tested against the; continuance of the ge
nealogies of the royal house of Naples and
the Grand-ducal houses of Tuscany, Mo
dena, and Parma being given, though their
possessions are now wholly in his hands.
Probably, as a concession to Napoleon,
the genealogy of this Murat family is now
first? 'introduced into the ' Almanack de
■ Qoihd; but, in cahtrast with this, is the
house of La Tour d’Auvergne-Lauraguais,
the very oldest, perhaps, in France. Na
poLRON was repotted to be implacable, and
threaten the publication of a rival to
the German Almanac, of which one hun
dred and two annual volumes have al
ready appeared; will be called the
“ Imperial Almanac,*’ and give the statis

a French point of visSv.

In 1808 an entire edition, ready for pub

gendarmes. The' alleged offence was that,
in the alphabetical arrangement, Anhalt,
of. the-Ernestinian line of Saxon princes,
took precedence of Napoleon, who claimed
to be placed at the head ofljSic nobility of
the Rhine. was-that in 1808-the
Almanac was printed in Paris, and from
that time to 1814 was wholly under French
influence at Gotha. Not until 1815 did it
become independent, and then, in a supple

A Strange Story of an Old French Shin
Xnameler.
The following eccentric story of a Parisian no
toriety Is extracted from the latest number of Bent
ley's London Miscellany. Its author Is alleged to be
Sir Lawrence Wraxelles, the molt fertile and fe
licitous translator of light literature Hying ! Sir
Law renee was a poof paragraphs some years ago,
but by tact, ability, and perseverance had acquired
quite a fortune ; when, by the death of an uncle, he
succeeded to a Baronet’s title. This is his narrative:
“Some days ago,, the Sands of Bummer wore
running Into autumn, and the maroon leaves In
the garden of the Luxembourg were turning to
crimson and gold. JBCy',Mend Mena and myself
tosh a cabriolet fot- the gare a%-Moant Far
nasse, .and.,, set our fades towards Versailles.
Mene Is the most Industrious chronicler of the
demimonde. Ho has been as diligent as Frois
sart to follow up the gay and beautiful favorites
ol the Casino. and the quartier of the Made
lalne, and. his little volumes upon Blgolboche,
-Alice, and Flnette, &e., have had tremendous sales,
both lit feulUeton and binding. He has corresponded
with the Independence Beige for eighteen years, and
has been four times ordered out of France; hut Ms.
cheerluineSß, good humor, and grotesque persist
ence Invariably lead to bis recdll. He Has a passion
for hunting np all the current and doubtful celebri
ties, and as readily ingratiates himself with them.
I had before accompanied him to ‘ the dwelling of
Bene, the rat tamer; Duval, the bouillon king;
Armand, the scout of the sewers; Martin, the vene
rable concierge of the Morgue; Pfeiffer, the bell
ringer of the Notre*Bame; Obaniere, the bird staf
fer, and Maugln, the itinerant crayon dealer; but
the person to whose abode we wereat present bound
exceeded’them all in strangeness. It was no other
than old Jared, the head of the nostrum venders,
whose same and riches are upon every Up, and
whose person is as original as his history.
“We dismounted at Belle Yne, climbed the steep .
drive, lined on each side- with neat cottages, in one
of wMoh dwelt Tom Moore, when bankrupt, and sat
beneath the same maple where he had sat to hear
Irving read Aim the first ehapter of Braeebridge
Hall; entered the chateau, whose beautiful grounds
were projected by LeNotre, the only gardener who
ever made the adjustment of landscapes an art, and
rounding the famous stone chateau, where dwelt so
long Madame de Maintenon and the beautiful belles
of Loialne; passed the screaming peacocks, the
guides and donkey drivers, and descended into the
picturesque village. When this chateau was a bat
tiamented eastle, tenanted by the prpud seigneurs
of Meudon, the philosophlo and satirto priest Rabe
lais was the reotor of the parish ohuroh. The edi
fice in which he ministered is still extant; the build
ing which tradition indicated as his abode was the
object of our excursion.
“ It stands quite at the end of a narrow and sinu
ous street, and the taste of its present eccentric
owner has so perverted it that it 1b quite as gro
tesque and Incomprehensible as himself. The tall,
I yellow wans,-pierced with narrow, lancet-shaped
I windows, uplift the steep, slate roof, bo oharkoterls-
I tic of the renaissance architecture, and high in the
I air waves upon the lightning rod the effigy o! two
I heads, which, without assistance, I should never
| have understood.
I “ The obliging Mene informed' me, however, that
I in those two heads lay the secret of old Jared’s
I prosperity. One of them was oddly outlined, and
I even from its windy perch seemed horribly contort-
I ed. The other was a counterfeit presentment of tbe
I same face, but more comely, ovular, and radiant.
I They represented, as I was told, Jared deformed
I and Jared rejuvenated, but only the most erratic
man in the world oould have thought of epitomi
zing Ms life in » wesjher vane.
“We passed under ft gateway of high arches
counterfeiting decay, and saw at the end of the
garden the strange proprietor himself. If Jared, in
his rejuvenescence, was so hideous, what must he
have been in his deformity 1 was my mental excla
mation. A fair face, even ruddy in Its complexion,
was covered with a shaggy wig, which reached over
hla shoulders, while beneath his twisted and knotted
eyebrows peered two small and burning orbs suffi
ciently intense and wild In their expression to recall
the legend of “Barbe Blue ana Robert de la
Marek.” The head was monstrous in Its propor
tions, while the body beneath It was short and
humped, and the limbs, which ambled nervously for
ward to receive us, were of the consistence of toe
slightest aprioettrees which studded the lawn.
“ This uncouth and dwarfed figure, then, was Jules
Jared, the first nostrum venderUving.’’
Passing over the story of a very remarkable in
terview, the article In Bentley then says of Jared’s
history:
“ He wss originally a medical student in the Rue
Qnatre Vents, and .{night have been praotiolng in
some pigmy village of G-asoony to-day, had he
not reached the very common experience of love.
The object of his regard was the daughter of Jou
beet, the surgeon, and-one of-the medical faculty.
She treated him, as did everybody else, with marked
deilslon ; and once, when he ventured to shew her
come attention, named him un olive de la saumure
(pickled olive). Thenceforth the object of his ex
istence seemed to be to ’beautify himself, and he
made the composition of cosmetics his whole study.
Every reoipe, ancient or modern, he consulted, ex
perimented with chemicals, made distillations from
botanical juices, and, to prosecute his researches
with more privacy, bought the Tittle hermitage of
ViUebon, hi the neighborhood of Meudon, with some
money bequeathed him; and devoted day and night
to his laboratory. ’ The village people considered
him crazy, the more so as he was ones heard to say
he would yet be the landlord of the whole commune.
“However, by hook or eroolt, he at last finished
his researches. Whether .the fresh country air, ab
stinence and regular habits accounted for it, or as
he asserted, hfi new oosmetlo, he certainly had
greatly improved. His complexion was particular
ly brilliant, no longer covered With unsightly pim
ples, and dark as an Algerine’s, but variably pale
and ted. He suddenly appeared In Paris as the
proprietor of a great Email or Enamel, but might
have lived and died unnoticed, notwithstanding Its
bruited virtues, had he had not resorted to shrewd
meanß of advertising it. He hired a number of the
best cotJfeurtto- make application of It upon their
patrons. Those who tested it were pleased, and
demanded if again. The hair-dressers, to satlsty
oalls, were then compelled to purchase of Jared at
his own prices. He thus raised sufficient means
to lease half a dozen of the best stands in
Paris, and made each of them a depot for his
Email. Everybody, male or female, coming in to
undergo curling or Bhaviog, was tempted to try the
wondrous Email de Jared. Very soon the furore
extended to the lorettes. Then,'ln natural order, it
embraced the oourt.' No Parisian woman who oould
afford it neglected to apply the marvelous oosmetlo.
Whatever pieaseß France is coveted by ail the con
tinent, and thus as his preparation became known
over Europe the adventurous ohemlst prepared it;
bujlng up the shops of tue hair-dressers. Taro
or three court trials, la one of which the Em
press was concerned, redounded to his profit.
His odd life and person were bo. many firsoolass
advertisements. -He : was introduced ln : comic
songs at the Eldorado, burlesqued in the
Porte St. Martin pantomimes, danoss at the
Prado were named in his honor. In a word, he
made good his threat of owning the village of
Meudon, and the lady who had laughed at him
married him, as much for sensation as for
love or ambition. While Mene and Jared were
talking together I wondered in my own mind If such
a character: could exist out of France; if, in our
sober England, any one in a walk ao lowly oould rice
to similar eminence. But tbe old eonjurer, divining,
my thoughts, Informed methat hlB monthly receipts
for.tbe Email de Farit trom London alone were six
thousand pounds sterling. So all oar English com*
plexlons, It seems, are not unaided the gift of Na
ture, j -.
“ The fortune of Jared is estimated Sit present at
three millions of franos. With this sum of money,
a splendid estate, a beautiful wife, and a reputation
as wide ns the continent, who would not be the In

there were any other modifications, explanations, or

Bon. Speaker of the House of Representatives, Con
gress of the united States. . ; ’
Sib ; 1 take leave most respectfully to request you
to lay before the House of Representatives this note,
in order to avail myself of ther only means of re
dress known to me wlthont breach of the privi
lege of the honorable House. Mr. James Brooks,
a member of tho House, on tbe 6th of January, is
reported-to have used Indebatethe following lan
****¥am bound to say that an effort was made by
the. Federal Government during the pendency of
the late Presidential election to control the olty of.
New York by sending there a bold robber in the
person of a Major General of the United States.
Robber as he was of the public Treasury, and Major
General of the United States as he was, he dared
not exercise the. power given to him to attempt to
control the actions of thoße whom the gentleman
calls thieves and robbers In my own city.”
The correctness ofthe reportofwhtohlhave taken
measures to ascertain. Here there is a charge made
upon the responsibility of tbe position. Mr. Brooks"
occupies, of very high Crimea and misdemeanors al
leged to be committed byjan officer of the United
States, which, if he is guilty, ought 'to-be visited by
the most condign punishment. If the charge is ca
lumnious and false, then it is due to the national
honor that it should bo unstained by the imputation
ofthe employment of such a person lu Its service in .
high official position, and it would seem also due
to the dignity ofthe House that a public slanderer
should be rebuked. The Constitution and laws of
the United States and parliamentary usage give
to the officer thus charged no means of redress
through the ordinary courts of law, or any other
mode known among honorable men; therefore, ap
pealing to the sense of justice of the honorable
House, I respectfully ask that an investigation may
be ordered of the charges so preferred against me by
a member of the House, through a committee of Its
members, with the most ample powers of inquiry.
Further, that in ordermot to embarrass the investi
gation of confining it to the single charge made, I
desire to have put In issue every offloial not of my
public life which can in any way be supposed to
affect my official Integrity or personal honor, and
that my accuser have leave to make good his accu
sation beforethe committee of the House, so that if
the accused be found guilty, proper prosecution
/ may be ordered in tbe courts for bis punishment, or
if the aoousation be found false and calumnious, tbq.
honorable House may be In position to vindicate its
own honor and dignity by the dne punishment of a
public calumniator and slanderer.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully,

A KBV THEORY Off ITS. OBISIN—THE EASTS A
GBBAT RETORT-} HI TIJ MINORS COAL ITB CON
TENTS, AND OIL AND BASES THE RESULT Off THE
ACTION on HBAT UPON IT.
There have been a great man; theories account-'
lag for the existence o! petroleum In the bowels of'
the earth, all of them more or less Ingenious and
apparent); correct deductions from the results of
research, butlnquiry has generally shown their fal
sity. The last theory has a show of reason on its
side, end is presented by a contributor to the Pitts
burg Commercial. Tie says that all geologists agree
that our bituminous coal has been formed from
the prostrated forests of an age long past. We
find that, b; patting this bituminous coal la a
retort, we can obtain the same general character
of product as by slating a well at Oil City.
■What Is left In the retort, after the oil has been
taken out, Is a species of coke. Arguing from these
well-known and acknowledged facts, he arrives at
the conclusion that what man has attempted to do
in a east-iron retort, an all-wise Providence has
much more effectually done by the operations of
Bis laws In nature; and that the anthracite coal
fiblds in our own lands, and other lands, are simply
what remains in this laboratory of nature, after, by
the application of heat below and pressure above,
the ell and gases have been driven elsewhere. The
oil thus pressed out has trickled through the orevices
of the roekß below these, now anthracite, but once
bituminous coal fields, and we find It to-day In the
pools and crevices of our different oil regions.
The anthracite coal which remains answers to our
ooko. We use It for the same purposes, for melting
ores in blast furnaces, find for melting iron In foun
dry cupolas, the great difference being that It is
vastly superior In quality, a faot not to be wondered
at when we remember the laboratory in which It
was made and the all-seeing eye that superintended
its production. This thing Is worthy of attention
not only because It may unveil the mysteries of the
chemistry of the earth, but also bsaanse If eorreot it
will solve one .or two other Interesting questions
concerning Internal heat, &e., which will so much
advance the coarse of science.

A Ouni&us Deposit'.— On Saturday last, as a
oonple ofyonng men were out gunning on the
Cornwall Bills, near the road leading from Eby’s to
Bosh’s tavern, they came across a depression or
hole that the; thought might be the harbor for a
rabbit. They Inserted a stick, and on withdraw
ing it, a pieee of brass dung to. it.. They examin
ed further, and being satisfied that It contain
ed other articles, returned to their homes with
the Information. Others then went to the place,
and, on removing a mass of brash and leaves, a
most curious deposit was exposed, embracing abont
one hundred and fifty different articles, among
which were spoons,, buttons, old coins, a oonple or
muskets, pooket compass, &o. There seems to be
no fixed theory about the matter. Some think that
a murder has been committed In the. vicinity, and
that those arttoles belonged to the Individual made
away with. Altogether it is a very strange affair.—
Lebanon Courier.
Cavalry Krgimrnts.— Efforts are being made
In different parts of the State to raise several oa
valiy regiments by volunteers. Several of these
regiments are entirely new, which circumstance is
very apt to promote volunteering, as the new
comers are generally very shy on entering old regi
mentß as “ recruits.” This branoh of the service
la also preferred by many to the Infantry and artil
lery service. Provost marshals are now receiving
recruits' for the . fid, 4th, Bth, 13th, IGth, and.Slsc
Segments Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry. -
Warning to Skatbbs.— A young man was
skating in Chester county some days ago, and; npon
taking off his skates after an hour or two or exerolse,
he found his feet and legs so completely paralysed
as to disable him from rising from where he had
seated'himself. He was helped home, but died In a
few days afterwards. It Is thought that paralysis
proceeded from the skatwttraps being drawn so
tight as to prevent the circulation of blood.
Oil and Salt. —Samples have been exhibited in
Fayette county, Pa., of salt manufactured v° m
' water taken from the 11 Elder Oil Well,” at a depth
of 228 feet. The salt Is very strong, and of an excel
lent 'quality, a pint of which was manufactured
from two gallons of water, just as It came from the
well. The indications for oil In this well are excel
lent. The current or gas was so strong a few days
ago as to throw the water two feet above the month
of the well. At last accounts from this well they
had bored twenty-two feet Into a sand rook of the
finest and purest quality of white Sand.
lob on the Susquehanna.— The quantity of
ice on the Snsquehanna is larger now than was ever
known before by the oldest inhabitant. The Ice la
some places is piled np on the banks to the height
of twenty or thirty feet, and has swept over the ca

river In many plaoes is frozen to the bottom, and in
other plaoes the toe'ls Item 4to 6 feet thick. The

To the Editor of The Press:
Sir: a stranger remarked of Philadelphia that'
It was the easiest city la the Union to get about la
through the week, and the most difficult on Sunday
and the stranger was right. In New York and Bosl
ton you may pass, on Sunday from one part of the
olty to another, no matter how romote, by means of
.the street cars, as readily as on any other day; but In
Philadelphia, whloh covers a larger area than either
Boston or New York, the ushering In of Sunday
tods the citizen deprived of all means of inter
communication. Unlees you are a good walker you
cannot pa this day visit your friends who live at a
distance from your plaoe of residence, nor get to
your church unless it is located near your dwelling,
nor perform many of the Christian charities appro
priate to the day, and for which the day gives oppor
tunity.
. Now, In the language of our Lord, “ the Sabbath
was made for man, and not man ror the Sabbath.’’
Therefore, whatever Is useful to man is lawful on
the Sabbath. It Is not useful, but hurtful, to man
to pursue his ordinary business on Sunday, for the
sake of gain; but It la useful to him to have all the
proper means at his disposal on Sunday, for doing
good and getting good. Released from the confine
ment of business, the day gives him opportunity
for charitable aots of various kinds, rand In a large
city like this If Is wrong to deny him the means of
passing easily and at will from one part to another.
I call attention to this matter, not In the Interest
of city railroads (in none of whloh do I own stock),
but in the Interests of the people and for their good.
My suggestion is, that three or four companies be
authorized to wn cars on Sunday, crossing the city
at right-angles, so that any person wishing to go to
a distant part of the city may be able to do so wlth
very little walking. If this were done, thousands of
good citizens would be gratlfled and benefited.:
With your permission, Mr. Editor, I would most
earnestly call public attention to this matter, whleh
has become one'of serious Importance. Ref it be
freely canvassed, and an early movement begun.
I am your Rlend truly,

•by ctitlce proverblally difficult to please, as a debu
tante of considerable ability. Our own Impressions
were decidedly in her favor. A handsome faoe, full
of expression; fine eyes, which

Imperious Inquisition to the heart ’
a well-shaped figure; good hair; easy and graceful
carriage, and a voice ‘(ever soft, gentle, and low,”
like sweet. Cordelia’s—these, in combination with
considerable intelligence and good edueatlon, are
qualifications which go far In making a,good' ac
tress. And we Rankly confess that, considering her
youth (for she cannot be more than three-and-twen
ty), Miss Olive Regan bids falrto become a radiant
“star” In the theatrical hemisphere, ere long. Of
her Intelligence , off tSe stage, the most obvious
proof's are two beoks which she has written. The
first, entitled “ Photographs of Paris Rife,” written j
In Pails and published In Rondon, found favor In i
the eyes of the Empress Eugenie, and, what Is more
to the purpose, wae warmly commended by. the
English reviewers. Her knowledge of - Parisian so
ciety, In which she lived for a time, and her fami
liarity with the French language, have preparedher
for the authorship of a sustained story; In one vo
lume, just published by Appleton &.Go., New York,
whloh we have received from Aahmead & Evans, In
this city. The title Is “ Chateau Frissao; or,
Home Scenes In France.” It Is a story of do
mestic life, in and out ..of Paris, the object
of which is to show the evils resulting from
the well-known -French manages tie come
nance, in which mutual affection Is the very
last thing thought of by the parents and guardians
who arrange them. The Beene shifts Rom Parte to
the country, and even to Rome, Bayonne, and.
Blarritzj but the moral te pointed all through the
tale.. The Interest centres In the Count de Frtesao,
his wife and daughter, hut several other characters
are brought in. One of the best sketches Is that of
Mademoiselle X., of the Oomedle Franqalse—so
true to life, that It cannot have been merely
imagined. The narrative, whleh is full of Interest,
la easy, graceful, and vivacious.

hacked up as they are by the favorable aspect of mili
tary and national affairs. In the face of recent victo
ries, and with the disposition manifested on the part of
some of the Southern leaders to adopt measures looking
to pacification, it would be a foolhardy undertaking to
operate now for a rise The “bolls” of the market
have an uphill work to attempt to effect an end which
it is not in the nature of things for them to attain. The
decline in stocks has failed to attract outside investors
into the market, v ho are probably deterred'from b lying

Both-withstanding the recent' decline in prices. The
sales yesterday showed something of an improvement;
the 5-20 s were held firmly at 107% » and the 7-30 s at 9955,
The 10-408 were not so strong, selling off X- The 1881
loan advanced at 109%. State loans were
dull and «.uiet. State 6s sold at 94%—n0 change; and
there was nothing said in war loan 63. There was con
siderable demand for company bonds at fair prices.
Sehuylhill Navigation 6s of ’£9 were steady at 80; Gam

Which advanced I%— selling at 53%. Pennsylvania
Bailroad declined I—selling at 62; and Little Schuylkill
X— selling at 39%. Norristown sold at 67%. The oil
stocks continued to attract considerable attention. The
mining and navigation stocks were very dull. The
only sale of city passenger railroads was some Thir-.

Walnut; 70 for West Philadelphia; 9 for Bace and
Vine; 26 for Green and Coates; and 23 for Girard Col

for Western; 30% for Manufacturers' and Mechanics’;
70 fcr Bank of Commerce; and 60% for City.
The Board of Brokers adopted a resolution, a day or
two ago, that the reporters of the press should not be
permitted to report the sales of,stocks occurring after
those printed on the regular printed lists, which come
from the printer about three o’clock. There are many
important sales effected after this hour, which will
therefore not see the light, and the outside operator in
stocks will not be able to accurately learn the state of
the marketio guide his operations.

The Bevenue Commissioner, J. 3. Lewie, has just
issued a revenue decision respecting stamps on oil
leases, which at this time is of much importance. There
are many farms'which are leased upon ‘ ‘ shares, ’ ’ and
it is, of course, impossible to deternjjpa at a given date
wbat the farm will produce for. Che ensuing year. In
such ease, the rental value must be estimated according
to .the quantity and value of the products. The Com*
missioner says: 7
‘*Xf the land has been worked before the lease is
made, or if the original lessee in such case underlets or
assigns hie lease, ora portion or Individual interest in.
it, the collector wiU, in such case. have, some reliable
data to start upon, but in all cases he should estimate
from the best information he can get, the probable
average rental value: and, of course, in doing this he
wiU have retard to Ms own knowledge of the premi
ses, the information derived from the parties and others,
aid the stipulations of the lease; and xf the rent is
payable in oUVthe average market value of the oil is an
element in the calculation, and in eases where he is in
doubt, he will, of course, recelye such Instructions as
may be desired from this office Such leases, whether
of oil, coal or mineral lands, are held to be subject to
a’amp duty as leases, and a stamp, as an agreement or
contract, is, of course, insufficient'-#

The Pew York JPost ofyesterd&y says:
The long: depression and quietude of the Stock Sac
change have given place this morning to a spasmodic
but upward movement in some of the «pbw£
lative stocks which have recently been most favored,
with the attention of the bears. Gold opened at 27T1£~
and. after selling down to 204&, recovered to th*
closing price. The loan market is easy, and transac
tions range from 6@7 per cent. The tendency stHZ
seems to be towards increasing ease. Mercantile paper
is unchanged.
The stock market continues to Improve. There In
more disposition to buy,and large amount* of dividend-,
paying stocks are being purchased oy clpltalists for In
vestment. Governments are active. The demand from
small inveatois in the country has gone on with hat lit
tle inteimiseion, and an advance Is looked for, as Ihn
needy speculators have now sold out the bonds with
which they had' embarrassed themselves beyond thain
means. The pressure to sell will thus, it Is claimed, bn
relieved, and a rise in prices be the result. BaiuuaC
shares are more active. In Toledo there is censiderabla
excitement in consequence of the stock.beinn reported.
