Wlokersham, Principal or the Pennsylvania State Normal School, at Mll lenyille, Lanoaeter county, published an eminently practical educational boot, entitled “ School Econo my.” Weexpressed adecldedlyfavorable opinion of the work,-when first published,ami are notsnrprlsed to find that its sale has been so considerable as to war rant its author’s completing a new volume, entitled “Methods of Instruction," applying to that part of the Philosophy of Education which treats of the nature of the several branches of knowledge, and the methods of teaching them, according to that nature. Mr. W. states,’ In his preface (what, Indeed, his book shows,-) that very great labor has been expended on It i that “It formed a dally subject of thought for the past ten years, and mnoh of It was written over throe or four times.” To this (which la the “lima labor etmora” of Horace), the compactness of the work, we might say its oompletenes, Is due. Tho anthor has made a valuable book by condensing his • materials. Teachers of every grade will profit by studying what Mr. Wlokersham has thoughtfully prepared for their consideration. Ho indicates that, perhaps, he may yet write of Modes of Cultnre and of the History of Education. Of his fitness for snob works what he has written Is substantial evidence. Published by J. B. Lipplnoott & Co. Mr. Joseph M. Wilson, of this elty, has just pub. llshed “The Presbyterian Historical Almanac and Annual Remembrancer of the Church, for 1884/ -being the sixth volume of a valuable series. This Is an cotavo volume or some 400 pageß,pTtut and paper good, with seventeen portraits, ohlefiy of deceased elergymen, engraved on steel by John and Samuel Sartaln. This Almanao really gives the history of the.Presbyterlan Ohureh throughout the world for 1868—the Amerloan portion being more in extenso. The proceedings of General Assemblies and Synods' are given folly, and the other leading contents are Histories of Churches and of the Union Theological Seminary in New York olty, biographies of eighty five deceased Presbyterian Ministers, and discus sions on the Manse questions, and also on Libraries for Manses. This volume has been carefully and judiciously edited. We would suggest that, In rature, the publisher will refrain from disfiguring the book by pasting advertisements upon its back, T. B. Peterson A Brothers have added “Sol“ Smith’s Theatrical Apprenticeship" and his “The* atrlcal Jonrney-work,” both Illustrated by Darley, to their Mbra/ry of Humorous American Works. They are orowded with amusing anecdotes of lead ' Ing performers, before and behind the curtain, and among the author’s reminiscences are many of Mr. Edwin Forrest’s earliest histrionic efforts. Messrs. Peterson have just brought out a new edition, with engravings, 'of “Vldocq’s Life and Adventures.” The work Is autobiographical, and the hero of his own tale was head of the police of Paris for many yeaiß. We can scarcely declare, critically, that it is precisely a hook for the parlor, but it Is at the head of Us class, and, as suoh, will always find a place In the library. Strange as are the adventures related by Vldocq, it is admitted by the French themselves that they are true. J. E. Tilton fc C0.,-Boston, whose previous etU- Hops (Illustrated and plain) of Tennyson’s “ Enoch Arden” we have noticed, has a neat pookot volume, a size larger than the blue and gold series, and in larger type. In addition to the contents in the origi nal English issue, here are given several minor poems, most of which are new to us -« The Cap tain, a Legend of the Navy,” certainly Is. This, In ballad metre, consists of seventy-two lines, In which is told the story of an English captain, brave, but a terrible Martinet, who drove his. drew almost mad by the perpetual torture of the. lash—so mad that when'they came near an enemy’s war-ship they stood with folded arms while the foe fired Into them, and ship, commander, and seamen went down into the ocean-depths. The other additional poems are "Come not when I am Dead,” “My.Llfels Full of Weary Days,” three sonnets to a coquette, two songs, and stanzas “ On a Mourner.”, Of “Military Rambles,” published monthly, at Chicago, and written by John B. Tarchln, late bilgadier general United States volunteers, we. have received the numbers for February and March, The author, we are Informed, is a Gorman, who re ceived his military education in Russia, became colonel of a Cossack regiment, and was on the staff of the present Czar, then Grand Duke Alexander, during the Crimean War, Coming to this country, he was engaged as engineer of the Illinois Central Railroad. At the commencement of toe rebellion was places! to command of .tywitoJs»goo»Bimast of - volunteers, of'which EHsworto’4. Z agaves firtmeg the basis-- was subsequently promoted to ‘ton rank of hrlgsdler general, and served nntil the taking of Atlanta, < when he resigned. His " Military Rambles” consist ohlefiy of oommeuts upon, toe events of toe war here, with oritlolain upon the eonduot, capabilities, and character of our leading generals. Tho author writes, very conside rably, by toe lights or his European knowledge and experience, and, though sometimes very trenchant in his criticism, has produoed what military map may, and probably will, read with advantage. In bis future liwai sons, lie shouldavold-petttag lntp his table of contents-what-h&emltafa.toa'iovt; fpr example- in the Marcbnumber-vGreat-and-Lupty Generals” are so amtounood, bntnot.ftsluglesoit.* tence about them is to be found la top lettor-preSV To that admirable literary lnat4*UWi,toe < blga and gold ”-*wriei£arhinh orlglnaUiiWsito YSBknijr..*- Fieldß-iOf'Bdetafcnow la added Dr Holmes* a<tags - vplnnioj “The Autocrat of the Breakfast - Table,” In which practical common- sense, keen observation, quiet humor, gentle pathos, true poetry, and genial philosophy are more intimately blended than In any other volume of prose pub- Hated Etooe Washington Irving produced “The Sketeh-Book.” Indeed, It possesses power, or T*ther {orce, in which Irrtog is deficient. It 1b printed with very oleartype, and has a fall-length ofDr. Holmes as Its frontispiece. . .

In the strange' and wonderful mutability which has occurred to their condition ' during the past four years, many or the men have been separatedfrom theli-'faihlliea‘beyond the possibility of being ever restored to them'; th'ou- - Bands have been removed to the far South to pra-' vent them Bern being aaptnred bythe Union forces, while their wives and children, finding themselves within the lines, have been' transferred to Wasting... ten, there to learn, their first lessons of freedom amid hardships and deprivations that would appal a sterner and more self-reliant race.' &rest numbers of the colored meirtave beep etyoyed aronldn dlers, and of these many 'have lostthelrtives to .do-" fence of onr flag, leaving their families without pro tectors. We learn ttat there is • since the murder of the President,to jyhom.tho freed' people looked as their friend and Wastln gton and go to any place l which .wlUTurnish* them employment and a home.'• In’tile'imme'Me-'r demand which Is experienced to the hired help, It Is to be regretted that this,torge .class or women, with ohlldren, should have'thus far, been excluded to a great extent. They taust", either hive,' employment in the North, where they ar«>, ; mbst needed, or they wIU beoome a charge upon'the I vernment,.and perhaps, bytheir close andlinsnfflt oient accommodations, breed" disease and dia&fluvj the national capital. The south is’completely fm?; poverlahed and desolated to many parts by the wiri • and the oircumstances of the negro,; obvidHsly mqsfc unpropitlous among his former oppressors, wodid? hardly be Improved by sending him where inonejl iap : almost.unknown. ... ’] t Thus it bas become very desirable tdaf frbpriite among us as many as possible of "the’freod'people now at Washington, and as tire women with fami lies seem to be the most numerous blats, tte Inquiry has been raised—how far oan these be madC%vall abie to supply tog the demand of our farmers 1' Those best acquainted with their capabilities assure ns that besides their facility in the ordinary work pf women, they are quite as efficient at ordinary farm labor as the generality of hands, while their powers of endurance have been tested by compulsory labor snot as wouldnot be tolerated in the North. The expense of feeding several colored children would constitute no objection to the employer, while their presence may be supposed to have a powerful in fluence in retaining the mother permanently npon the farm. The only real difficulty ttat would operate against tte geteral employment fo this class is the want of convenient accommoda tions for them to the houses of employers. This can : to obviated by the erection of cheap tenements, such as they havelieen accustomed to, which might oe well and tastefully fitted to the purpose by our - Northern farmers. Any ona> who has|travellod at all among the oamps njust havd been struck wish <he comfort which exists fa the log tuts built by tte soldiers literally without expense. Moat of thw now thriving people of the west made their begin ning to life to a similar mode.

The Chicago Sanitary- Fair. The public Is already aware that an effort Is being made In Philadelphia to aid the Chicago fair for the Sanitary Commission. All Who are disposed to give something to the great Northwest should send In their contributions as early as possible. The fair will open on the 30th of May, and it is desirable that articles Intended lbr it should be sent to 1307 Chest nut street or 400 South Ninth street, by the 20th of May at tbe latest. It Is hoped that the Philadel phia department will not be outdone by those of New York or Boston. The contributions from this State will be placed on a table by themselves, and will be oalled the Lin coln testimonial, the funds arising from their sale to be applied to tbat purpose, which ever lay so near the heart of our martyred President—helping the sick and wounded soldiers. Aitides should he labelled with an estimate of value, and all packages marked, “ For the Chicago Pair," The following contributions have been received by the Philadelphia committee, of which Mrs. Thomas F.

Tbe Keans—Their First Week in New CFromlh* Sew York Timet, May 1,3 Mr. end Mrs. Charles Kean repeat two of their performances this week. As Queen Catherine Mrs. Kean Is thoroughly good. Her denunciation of the Cardinal Is dignified, yet replete with womanly pas sion and Intensity. In.the oomedy of the “Jealous Wllo” her rendering of the part is effective' and thoroughly sharpened, intellectually, to the extreme capacity of the text. The character, however, Is not free from exaggeration. A jealous wife as here drawn—we speak of the play—could not survive the opinion of her husband tor a day, unless, Indeed, he were an Idiot and blest with the faculty of living without brains. We recognise the great quloknesß of Mrs. Kean's acting, her ready perception of mo* fives, her lively suspicion of all that Is so strange to her, but we must add that sbe lends herself to a tone of mockery which is anything but elerated. Neither making faces, making mouths, or talking derisively through the nose at people belong to a comedy that Is supposed to depict polite lUe, The public has accepted Mr. Kean with almost unanimous consent. He has appeared, so far. In three characters, two of which will be repeated, namely, Cardinal Wolsey and Louis the Eleventh. We have said something of both Impersonations, but yet find our memory stored with unspoken ad miration! We shell not attempt to express It now, but desire to say a few words generally abont Mr. Kean. An impression prevails that he belongs to what la celled the old school of acting. Except in one particular, this is entirely wrong. He has certainly studied elocution—the exception to which we refer. It Is not, we are aware, customary bo do so In the present day; hut we hardly think it la a fault. The “ old school,” as wo understand it, was something absnrdly extravagant. It was to play. Macbeth in a' court suit; or—more prone to ourselves—to die as Kirby died. The dramatic voice of the past foams with fury; It is heated with the tamper of many co.mbata where the code d’honneur consisted simply In two up andone down. We do not for a moment sup. pose -that the -past Is yet burled, bnt It does hot, we think, survive In Mr.. Kean. Nothing,surely, can be easier or more natural than his mode of speedlC' He Aois not’ Invariably commence In the pit of his stomach,' and so gradually work his way up to that happy period or vocal extinction when nothing bnt a whisper and a stabremain. No actor who has ever appeared on our stage has cared SO little for first Impressions. The weight* and movement that the text requires he supplies, bnt there Is not a breath for the groundlings, not a beckon for that cheap applause whtoh so many tragedians consult and court. The au dience, on the first night, was surprized at au abnegation so unusual In a “ star,” and It was only as their feelings became gradually merged in the moving current of Woticy's fate that they felt how imperceptibly yet Irresistibly the true artist had carried i hem away and vindicated himself Theft‘sal, or farewell,'ei»ne between CromtaeU and the Cardi nal has never been surpassed on the stage. Its n a lot penitential earnestness was overwhelming. Trie so characteristicscahEot with any propriety be aSsrmdd to the eld school of acting. Wa have saen respect able players turn plaok lu the face before they felt called upon to takefftefr uneasy farewell ofthe world, nadUong after they lay dead on the stage we have seen them pant with the extreme effort of dtssolu - tioh. Bike the “Idle Apprentice,” described,by. -jacket)?, they have, Instead or laying them “ doon to; dee,” been much more capable of gettlngtbem bop - and poonehlng somebody's head. Mr. Kean's oar- ■ reer. ln foot, has been one constant protest against the past, and It Is the purely modern temper of his . style that keeps him bright and potent after so many years, and when his early associates have long since rusted and broken. Hols aided, too, by a singularly prepossessing appearance. The repose of hlB face Is BinOly, yet watchful. There lsan air of open acceptance about It, which speaks of good association, and the trustful habits of a gentleman, i’ichel, m all his pictures, paints just suoh a faoe; for Flchel, with infinite skill, has yet but a limited knowledge of the human face divine, and so far as we know, repeats himself with unabated enthusiasm. NOjone, lt must be confessed, eau do it so well. This remarfcenablteus to add yet another word to what said of Mr. Kean. Hetoohas hls St we have been unfortunate In bay id by others. Although Individual, sstrnctive to a sustained range of emughAß we deteot the peoaflarl dlsgnlse, they are, by no means, so £ Is* at others’ hands. We refer, of courteyto thesingolarly nasal an interrogative way In which Mr. Kean frequently expresses "With him It Is a trilling natural-defect.- With others It Is a coarse and offensive mannerism. We have said, at greater .length than we Intended, all that need be -said,’ ,It: rgmalns ' only to add that Mr. end Mrs Kean,will appeaTtosnight In “ Henry the Eighth,” and tOiinortow evening to “ Bonis the Eleventh? 1 ■ PabibiAw Civn-izATios.—ln alengthy article In a very onrtooa illustration of Pwislanllf&iCsesntalned.

The small space which In a Paris lodging con be devoted to children’s accommodation is perhaps one oause of this per nicious custom.

THE FALL OF RICHMOND. ; Jrom the London Times, April 19 J Not a year has elapsed alnoe it was possible for a few advocates of peace and compromise to speak and writ® in fayor ot both, Now,Jumever, there is no visible cause °f doubt or misgiving. Charleston' and Blchmond are again Federal oitteSiv President Lincoln is lodged in the house of president Davis, and the army of Lee has retired to the Interior. The catastrophe seems complete, and In all Its ac cessories oalonlnted to impress the .people with a feeling that the work' is accompHshed,' and that the civil war U really atari aid, Suppose the whole nation Impressed with that conviction, and impulsively, ami at the Bame,mo ment, expressing what they feel under its Inflttenae, and we oannotbe surprised at the somewhat dell rious forms the jubilation of NCw York has taken. We shall, hear similar accounts from ©very great city of the Union, Baltimore, perhaps, excepted, .It must be rtoolleoted that tbe reported manifesta tions were spontaneous and improvised at the mo ment. * * * * * * When we reoolleet the trifling incidents that have sufficed to produce an amazing, sensation, we cannot wonder at the out burst of feeling which has marked such a crisis In American history. But no violent excitement can be very enduring, and.no people more readily recover their faculty of taking & cool and praotleal view of things. The transition indeed, from toehot At to theoold is often exceedingly rapid, and when the reaction sets In topics may be discussed with porfeot calmness, wblob, in the excess’ of fever, would have excited a paroxysm of wrath. We, therefore merely regret .bat tie first suggestion of the publlo orators on thlsooeasion was that, one war being terminated the whole nation should embroil itself in another, nay, in a series of wars. But at the moment of utterance much was overlooked that will, In a not distant fu ture, ask very serious consideration. We also re gret tbat, next ito the Idea of war generally, the most popular suggestion was war with England, But we cannot regard these fiery denunciations Berious ly. Bn a bldalSg for applause there Is no eheok to the Uxtrayagace of promise; however wild it may be, the speaker :1s always comfortably aware that he runs ltUle risk ot being oalled on 0 fulfil it. Passion ruled the hour, and the orators would not have been listened to had they not compiled with the time and spoken with the unchecked vehe mence that suited It. , * * * ■* » *> The much truer expression of American feeling wae given, we trust, at Washington, * * * Statesmen oannot indulgein the “Oambyßes’ vein,” living as they do in terror of after explanations. Mr. Seward, therefore , did not,encourage thereto York suggestions jif vengeance and war. Be adopted a lighter mode of treatment for the crisis. He very shiiiully evaded the perils of a set speech, and rather amused his audience than stirred them. His address served the purpose. He eould net let Eng land escape altogether, but he dll not threaten her with extermination, or to annex Canada forthwith. He dealt in .innuendo, which, as it pleased hts hearers, we have dot the slightest wlßh to quarrel with. Against the few reproaches Mr. Howard launched at us, we set tbe Instances in which, by his official acts, he cheeked the rashness of subordinate officers of the Government. If such Inflammatory harangueß as those delivered at New York do not afl’ect the pelley of the Administration, It would be unreasonable to. attach toe much importance to them. Very possibly Mr. Seward oouid not have spoken so temperately to the excited thousands of New York. But we believe the more numerate tone of the official addresses at Washington is a more re liable index of American policy. CFrem the London Times, April 17.3 The first act of the American war has closed with a tremendous finale. Rtohmond and Petersburg are in the hands of the North, and though Lee, even In these desperate stralte, has retired in good order with the remnant of his army, it is impossible to anticipate that his resistance can be effect-natty pro-, . longed. The Souh retained but one great -army, and’ that has new been half destroyed. The loss of Bich mtmd might in ' itself turns been, perhaps, sustained, but, coupled with the defeat of bee, it represents a veritable catdstropke. The event has boon anticipated not only In Ame rica, bnt in this country for some time past, and yet it did not oeour to conformity with the pre valent speculations. Forragnt hao no part In it, cor Sherman either. It is due to General Grant that his military abilities should be recognised and his suc cess acknowledged . ’ It wae his army to the ead which captured Biekmond. He did “ fight It out on that line,” as he had pledged himself to do. Often and often was he repulsed with dreadful losses, but he ct-u-ng with' unconquerable tenacity td his work, and. never once: relcecet-the grip which he had obtained. Be forced his adversary into Richmond, and sat (IciaO - before its ramparts,with the resolution, which.,He -has., well maintained, that sooner or later.ihecUy should-be his. It Jstrue.tbai he bad the . assistanee.of-Sheri dan, and that without that go-operation-the fioai as sault would probably not have been attempted. But the whole work, substantially, was the work of Grant, and it was the work for. which he had waited in pa- Hence and confidence through, nearly twelve months of discouragement. 'Be was the first General of the Berth who refused to recognise defeat,,and the reward of fmlttude is his at last. After paying, however, this tribute to the con queror, we are bound to give due honor to the van quished, and the task will not be dlfflenlt. General Lee has forfeited none of the renown which gives him so distinguished a place to the eyes of the world. All that, a consummate commander could do under extreme difficulties he has valiantly done. He did not decamp from his position, nor try to cut his weju>ut; stlil lecardW-he resign, as was prog nosticated, hope of resistance. He waited”ln Ms Hues, HMWWa the great assault with extraordinary intrepiUlty, and 'fought to the last. Then he with orew deliberately-from the field, evacuating his sti6ngb,olde->ndparrying off what remained of his army. If ye may accept as unexaggerated the esti mate of his losses, he oan have but a slender force left. A reckoning of twenty-five thousand prisoners -and flftee»rto(>hBand killed and wounded will as ’ greater part of what was not a nume rous army to begin wltn. The Southern General is retiring, It was supposed, upon Lynchburg, but a Federal force has recently been advancing on that town from the treat, and the road may be no longer open to the Confederates. **•*-+ * * * ■ Wo must now wait Tor what nothing but time can teach us—the solution of the great problem of'se cession. Has this terrible- drama been .simply a (var. pr ISltra revolution 1 If it is a war, the end indeed, it hat not been reached‘ah ready—far, beyond, the feeble force-under Johnston at Raleigh and the remnant of the Richmond garrison under T.ee.the South has no organized armies in the field, nor mit probable that any can be raised. This stage of the great struggle baa been accomplished. The North, by its deterntnetf. Will, and lately, it should be added, by the excellence of its generals, has over come the South, has defeated Its armleß, and occu pied Its principal towns. It has had Ifer greater difficulty in doing so than was at first anticipated, and It appeared, Indeed, at times as if even this por tibn of the work could never ho accomplished at all. But If the exhaustion consequent on this protracted snuggle should, terminate the resistance of the South altogether, It may be fortunate ror.the North -that fUchmona was not captured till the fifth year of. the war., 'When President Davis deolared that If Richmond were taken the war could be prolonged for twenty yowa in Virginia alone, he was specula ting, bn resources which five desperate campaigns Miiy'have fatally reduced. The Oon federaoy .which.ter five years has proved so unex pectedly strczLgjuid resolute, may now prove unex pectedly poweflfea and desponding.

The failure of the great Birmingham banking firm of Atwoods, Spooner, Marshall 5k Co,, Is a most Important Item of financial news brought by recent steamers. The house was an old one, dating back to the last century, and It haj held the very highest rank. It Is said to have, ah this time, 3,000 deposi tors, ranging through all olaaaeß, from the largest manufacturers to the humblest workmen. The number of the latter class, both male and female, is said to be particularly large. It is the.habit of snob, banking houses in England to pay Interest on de posits, and they, therefore, occupy towards the working class the place held here by savings banks. The disaster and dismay which the failure of one of the largest savings banks here would oooaslon, Is now experienced In Birmingham, A movement is being made by the merchants of Pittsburg to organize a systematized “ Exohange,” embracing all the manufacturing and commercial interests of the otty and vicinity. Theplantsto in vite into one organization banks, bankers, brokers, stock operators, refiners, oil dealers, produce deal ers, iron merchants, and manufacturers, and any other class of business men whose interests would be promoted by a dally meeting with each other. The destruction of the saw-mills in the vicinity of Tllnsvllle, Pa., by the late freshet, has caused a very great advance in lumber. Clear pine is quoted at $7O; common, $45; hemlook, $4O. At those prices, It must cost a fortune to build anything of a house In that enterprising town. New York Is the largest market for sole leather In the world, more being bought and sold In that olty than In Liverpool, London, and Paris com bined. It Is estimated that 10,000,000 hides are tanned In this country annually, requiring about 700,000 cords of bark for the operation. DrexeliCo. quota: New TJ. S. Bonds, 1881 1» New IT. S.
