EaHsuson Of the ideas ard spirit Of hls master and
teacher II can hardly be necessary to restats that
FouTisr's ideas many OF the prooundsst and most
oporsn. questions which ever challenged investiga-
ton or taxed the human intellect have not commended
thsmsslvs, to approval; indeed, there are SOM
Of them which we regard with decided oondem0a
ton; while many Of his suggestions for the practical
moderation Of Social inequalities and hard:hips have
seemed 10 US emnenty Just and happy. We beli0vsit
practicable and desirable that human beings should
squsnssr far less Of their tune and means in fencing
locking, watching and having against each others dep
redetens and rascaltes and that they advantoSsousy
might and should cooperate to diffuse plenty, knOw
edge, wisdom ard virtue where they now, by DIVISION
Isolation opposition ard contention, msinAn the sway
of penury, ignorance folly and vice No work that
foreby teaches the great truth that human interests
IRE eonvergent, not dvergent-identcal, not antagO
nisto-ca fail to do good So while We shall doubtless
dissent rom many Of it, positions, we shall await with
interest the appearance Of Mr.. Brisb7ne's volume
The Hon George p Marsh OF Vermont lately L. s.
Minister at Constantinople, has in pres, at Boston,
work on the Camel, Ihch promises to be OF great
utility in view of the approaching introduction of that
animal into th- country. Our readers are aware that
some 80 or 40 camels, procured IN Asia, under an act
OF the lsst Congress- about to be landed in Texas
but at the same time little il known here respecting
their habts food management, cost Of keeping, the
value of their flesh, and the like This deficiency
the work of Mr.. Marsh is intended to supply,
20 that whoever becomes the owner of camel may
know how to work him and how to take care Of him.
We learn that before going the East Mr.. Marsh had
made special study OF the subject, which he con-
tuued during his residence and journeys in the EAT.
He holds that the camel may be advantsgeousy in
trodueed int this country The book, which will be
Of moderate size and cost, will be published by
Me.srs Gould & Lincoln Of Boston.

Col. Benton is engaged IN preparing eondenSa
ton of the debates of Congress from the beginning OF
the Government to the present day. The full reports
occupy about one hundred volumes, and the dista-
guished ex-senator expects to reduce them to some
fifteen or twenty, Of about 900 pages octave each,
in double columns. OF course, his Gin will be TO
omit nothing essential to a complete aud fair ac-
count Of each discussion, so that we can have
the substance Of everybodys remarks on
every question and to give every set Of Yeas and Nays
that is necessary to show how each member really
stood in every case. The abrdgement will consist in
emitting discussions private bills, where no great
political principle is involved; in leaving out repet
tons in speeches and in reducing their verbosty The
ability Of Col. Benton 20 produce most valuable and
useful work of this kind is iDdsputabe; and if it is
executed with perfect fairness will be indispensable
to every public library and to the study of every pub
lie man The Messrs. Appleton of this city will
dobtess be the publishers.
