Nor would even that be an opposition which the Southern Democracy would permit. Nor is there any comforting hope for thola in matters of finance. The pay ment of the public debt, through the means and in the channels now recogni sed, is the settled policy of the nation. As often as Democracy may make an Issue against this, so often it will be re buked, as it has always been, by the pop. niar voice. And if ever aily form of re pudiation, direct or indirectehould appear likely to succeed under the organized action of the Democratic party, a rebellion in the party Itself would promptly avert the Since this opposition has ceased to be a dangerous element in American politics, it is likely to become an amusing one in its vicious but impotent decrepitude.

Time and again, in almost every one of the north ern and central sovereigrafes of Europe, criminals, with influential friends or ex tenuating circnmau°°xa to plead for them, have been pardoned on condition of departing for and staying in America.

THE PRINCIPLES uP YRIN ClioLoey. By John Bascom,-Professor in Williams Oilier, author of "Political Erotic. Poblistied by G. P. Putnam R Son. For sale by K. S. Davis A ILii., Pittsburgh. It has been well remarked by a distin guished author that the progress in phi losophy is slow, and open to sharp criti cism for the defects which mark as histo ry. But It should be borne in mind that If mistakes bare been made, and contra dictions appear In the theories promulga ted, that great obstacles lie in the path of progress. The object of Prof. Bascom has been to bring out new points, and place the subject in a -more consistent turn, and pruning everything In the sys tem essentially alien to its principles. In the part of Intuitive Philosophy there is a completeness-and proportion that will I be appreciated by the student. We I think that the work will be regarded sal It should be, valuable by thinking minds I and students in this department of science. I Such a work was needed. The work is I divided into three sections, preceded by a l l brief Introductory chapter. I. The In- tellect. 2. The Feelings. 3. 'Flue Will. Hon MA J InCres Tow ER. Second Series. By William Hepworth Dixon, editor of the " .kthenaum," and author of i• New America," "Spiritual Prism eta. Published by J. B. Lippincott di Co., Philadelphia. For sale by K S. Davis a. Co., Pittsburgh. This volume is unlike the preceding one in many respects. It contains the story of the /Ingio-Spanish conspiracy, and also very many interesting things connected with the Tower, thr t are thrillinglyentertaining. The interest, how ever, of the volume Is general rather than local, and presents threads of national life woven together by a master hand. These stories are the product of the gifted author's pen for more than twenty years, and it must be conceded they are so gracefully worded that they appear like pictures of fancy, though hung on the stern facts of the nation's history. A GREER GRAMMAR roe Bicoleret el.. By William Henry Waddell, Proftweor of Ancient Languages In the Univer sity of Georgia. Published by Harper R Brothers, New York. Few will question what the author as. tames that this work is simplified as much as it Is possible, to master • difficult lan gunge, like Greek, but after all, It will require nerve and patience, to memorize the grammar, from cover to cover. The author, however, has smoothed the way towards an easy acquisition of the lan guage, and he Is entitled to the Hanks of atud,enta. The pruning and cutting out of unnecessary matter, will tend to aid the new beginner, and we therefore most heartily commend the work, as being • valuable aid In the study of Greek. ' Nur EIMBER EIaCIATENEEL The present number of Harper's Him. pierce the thirty-ninth volume of this grand old monthly. Notwithstanding the multiplication of magazines within a few years, it retains its hold upon the public. While its general character : jai not been maternal) , chemsed, It la p • sive and fully abreast of the times. The best writers and artiste are brought Into requisition to aster to the lovers el . such literature. Special attention is given to the departments of popular Sceiences and industrial Arts. The number of this month contains valuable papers. profusely illustrated, namely: "Boast. Bird, and Fish," "IdOuntaineering on the Pacific," and "A Health Trip to the Tropics". Installments of "A Brave Lady,' sod and "My Enemy's Daughter" appear growing interesting as they proceed. "The New Timothy" is concluded, a story of much interest- Two pretty aeries are to be found in "Elizabeth Beller" and "Fran cis Palmer". The short article "The Jannissaries," is timely. "Border Re mincence," is full of points and daring. Much Trainable information may be found in "Our Digestion and Food". The var. ions departments are well sustained this month. Now is a good time to aubecribe for this excellent monthly. Lippincott is always readable, and never fails to present some good articles. Trollope new novel, "hs Vicar of Sulatamptort," absorbs considerable space,-but none Inc mach, )ndging from the Interest aroused. "Beyond the Betak en." still is popular and readable. "Wear land Tear' is a substantial paper. full of common sense views, advocating relaxation in connection with mental ef fort. Morris' article on "Fuel" contains information of a practical sort. Few can rend "Murder Most Foul" without feel ing sympathetic. The duelling article is not worth reading, beyond its histoncal merit. "The Great Flood" and "Jaffa to Jerusalem," are entertaining. Tender pity will be awasened by the mailing of the sketch of Prentice. As usual, "Our Monthly Gossip," and "Literature of the Day," are capital. Taking the number throughout, It is an advance on previous slumbers. Our Young Folks for this month, Is a superb number, both as to the character of the articles and 'the illustrations. The principal papers are entertaining, ns well as instrucd executed and the Illustrations are lifelike and executed with considerable finish. We doubt not many an old 'iin has learned lessons In this year's issue worthy to be stored away. "The Story of the Bad Boy" ii still Intensely Inter esting, and the "Letters of William Hen ry" ere par =allow, for young people to model after. The publishers intend to keep Aldrich, Parton, Mrs. Lease's and 'other charming writers, busy for the sub scribers of 1870. Ptsinam's Gatew ays with' paper de voted to the of the Pole," by' Prof. T. B. Maury, that will command attention, and also much criticism. Spen cer's "Lady Melia" Is continued. The selection of letters by Mr, Putnam is • rich contribution, and it will be highly valued by many readers. The letters give a glimpse of the true nature of distinguished authors that is rarely obtained of public men. "Hel lenic Nationality and the East," and "The Radical Duke," will repsyy reading. Many will enjoy Tent life in . Mt Some suggestive thoughts see embodied In the paper, "The New Fuel" Ilemball's romance, •To-day," occupies considerable space. The departments., Brevities, Literature at Home Fee &no, Table Talk, etc, are, as wild; chatty, piquant. Putnam offers great induce ments to subscribers for 1870, namely, to send free until the close of this year. The Atlanta contains quite a goodly number of articles of a substantial type, and of a practical sort, that is enjoyable. "The Small Sins of Congress" will pro. Tide ammunition for those who desire to probe corruptiontsta. The facts are stern and appalling. The article on "Earth qnakes,' la timely and will bo read with rehab. .Mrs. Agassiz's "Dredging Ex cursion In the Gulf Stream," reads like romance, and Set Is brimful of useful knowledge. Just now the problem of "Boman Ltfe" is claiming the attention of many minds. Howell treats of a "Pedestrian Tour" in his usual happy style. "The Brick Moon," by that-- genius, lies. E. E. lisle,will repay reading. Freeman's "Moammed," is a thoughtful paper. The closing papers will repay reading and possess decided merit. - The Gauzy opens with "Susan Field- In "and a good instalment of "Put Your self in His Place," both abscirbing and entertaining, -• "Prince Suwarof " is of thrilling Into rest and so natural. Tho paper on "English Universities" is well handled by Joann McCarthy, en author. Ity. Attention Is called to the startling mom minded "Impiddalism in America." Many of the Galan readers will thank Dr. Dalton for the paper "How the Blood.Clrculatra." Richard Grant White furnishes another of his sterling papers on the "Play of the Period." It is a paper of decided merit, because of Its bold utterances. It is derail , necessary to speak of thedepartments at the close, occupying about twenty pages, as they I are conducted with signal ability. Ram at HOW for this month contains I several articles worthy of note. The first, "Sultan Singel' Scimetar," a bit of racy rending. Towl'a "Scraps from my AntograPh -Book." are full of historical lore, and in striking contrast "Crime and and Its Ponlahment In the East," which reveals appalling facts. Much that will surprise, as well so instruct, may be found In "Marriages among Men of Go. nine.'" "Compton nit's," and "Bunny Bank P ates ," occupy considerable space. "Books and Reading," Is valu able to the thoughtful, as the suggestions are timely. The editorial articles at the clone of the number aro eipltal. I The iffinday Nega.dne, announced by' L B.lPpinottt in Co..- of Philadelphia.. might Pit command a loge clungllloll, :BURGH DAILY GAZETIT : FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 5, 1889 worthy of the outlay of the publisher. We have not, however, seen a number since the new arrangement, but if favor ed with its visite monthly, we am write intelligently and judge better of its ex cellencies. LITERARY W 7:6[1.1F.A.

Tim Altoona Vindicator tells "a strange but true tale," as follows: A young man giving his name as Harry Stewart artivea , in Altoona, not long since, in a state of complete destitution, and called upon Rev. Mr. Guyer, to whom he stated that his parent' had died, In Idaho, leaving him alone and penniless; that they hark, come from England and moved to Idaho I when none but Indians infested that ter- , otory, and that be had never enjoyed any 1 advantages of education, lave what his mother had given him. He had heard in Idaho that in Pennsylvania orphans were given education for nothing, and be de sired to reach Harrisburg to obtain an en trence to one of the Male institutions of learning. A pass to that place wss pro. cared for him, and he was sent on his , way, those who had been willing to be. friend him goon forgetting all about him in the busy one of life. While In con. venation with Mr. Gayer, the boy had stated that hfirmother had left him some papers which she declared were very val. able,but which be could not read.

A. brief examination of the documents showed the latter their true nature, and be at once telegraphed to the British Minister at Washington, who in turn telegraphed to the American Minis. ter at Londop, and in a short time answer was returned' that young Stewart was heir to an entailed fortune amotuiting to $33,000,000 In gold, deposited in the Hank of London and eared to shout $77,000,000 in Am ericani currency.

Tan Edinburgh Resiete cannot consider Count Bismarck no a really great statesman. He is a firatrate diplo matist and negotiator. No man can cap tivate more adroitly those he wants to win; nobody knows better to strike at ' the right moment. His personal courage is great, physically as well u morally. He is a capital companion In society, witty, genial. sparkling In conversation. His private life is pure; nobody has accu sed him of having used his high position for kis pecuniary advantage.
