LITERATURE.

LABoULAYEs FAIRY BOOK. BY Edouard La
boulaye. Harper & Brothers, Philadelphia
Agents: ]. b. Lippincott d Co.
To write a really good fairy story Is an under.
taking which few authors are able to accom-
plish There are but few of all our bHerdtemS
who can pen a book which will be interesting
to children. 1t requires a peculiar tact to so
frame your story and your sentences as to be
able to catch the ear and fix the attention of a
child. The many utter failures of those who
make the sttempt best attest the extreme diff
Guilty of the task. Yet in Edouard Laboulaye
we find that peculiar turn of mind required.
lie writes the best cbldren's stories that we
have ever seen. His volume is filed with Illus
tiations, and is of deep interest. 1t is just
such work as would be acceptable to
child. We nave read the book, and find it full
of well printed and lmirably selected fairy tales.
Before us il spread the realm of romance into
which we can look from the Pisgah of manhood,
but cannot enter. 1t Is reserved for the full
Imagination of the child to revel in its fields.
We cannot picture The fairies, the palaces, the
wonderful wand, and the ten thousand mys.
teries which we all could invest with definite
shape. But we can see how our little ones
will be able 10 ill all the land with giants aud
d warts, prin ,es and marvellous magicians. Yet
the field is there, the country flowing with milk
and honey, the country of childhoods fancy;
and we can see it open to the little ones as they
read the tales of Laboulaye. The book is a
most accepa )ie Christmas gift and is printed
inI large GEAR type, which cannot iniure
the eyes of the little reader.

April, 1861, and answered as follows:
That he had private interview with Mr..
Lincoln, and that they had talked freely
concerning the state Of the country. Mr..
Lincoln asked why the Virginia Conven-
tion did not adjourn. His reply was that
although there was Union majority in
the Convention, they would not adjourn
while ignorant Of the plan for the adjust
ment Of our National difficulties. He
had also said that if he had Mr. Lincoln s
power he could settle the disafection in
fifteen minutes by Withdrawing the troops
from Sumter and Pickens, and by calling
convention of all the States. Mr. Lin
coin had replied that he would do this
Mr.. Howard said that he felt certain
that Mr. Lincoln had never promised 10
withdraw the troops from Sumter, as an
inducement to the Virginia Convention
to adjourn, for he would have been swept
from his seat by the indignant people Of
the North.
Mr.. Baldwin replied that his memory
was good, and such was his impression
but as he was alone with Mr. Lincoln or
that occasion, and there was no one now
to rebut his testimony, he would not give
it as any thing more than an impression
left upon his mind.

so attached that at her death he was
quite oyerpowered with grief, and insisted
on Keeping her corpse in his room long
after it had become putrid Dogs cost
him less, he used to say, and were much
more attached and faithful than Mar
quise de Pompadour. A footman was
appointed to the honor of attending on
them, and carriage was appropriated
to their use, in which they went out for
their airing, always occupying the hind
seat They were all buried on the ter
race at Sans Souci, and in his will he
left directions that he should be inferred
beside them.
Assuredly Frederic possessed, if ever
man did, tortitude-" the virtue of ad-
versity" the most heroic of all virtues.
The full force of his character was never
shown till among the dangers and sor-
rows of seven years war. He bore up
against overwhelming calamities, and
triumphed over them, and established
himself in security Few men ever
sought less their happiness and ease,
ever worked harder in their vocation.
He discharged, with calm endur-
ance, the multifarious labors Of
selfimposed toll, uncheered by hope,
urged on by no sense of fear, but ever
loyal to his sense of duty. The night
cometh when no man can work AS the
night drew near, his WEAKNESS grew more
intense, his loneliness yet deeper. One
by one the companions Of his prime, to-
ward few of whom he felt as much afiec-
tion as his iron nature was capable OF
feeling, had fallen from his side; he had
no love for any of his own family who then
survived save, perhaps, the Princess
Amelia, and in her pitiable state she
could only be to him an additional cause
of sorrow; through life he had never
sought affection, so now the solace of
affection could not be his; friendless and
hopeless he met with serene courage the
inevitable end. 1t is picture from
which we cannot withhold our reverence,
but which fails to command our love

Details of Foreign News.

NEW YORK, February 2s.-The details
of the news in foreign files show that in
England the Shenandoah claims were
being discussed in considerably altered
tone since the publication of Mr.. Seward S
last published dispatch on the question.
The London Times now speaks Of British
officers "winking at attransparent frauds,
allowing British laws to be cheated in
manner that demands inquiry" 1t al
ludes to Australian authorities permit
ting a grave breach of hospitality, and
recommends that the foreign enlistment
act should be at once amended.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times, writing on the 18th, treats at
length on the speech Of Marshal Forey,
and thinks the signs are not favorable to
speedy recall of the troops from Mexico.
The correspondent expresses his belief
that the sentiments which Marshal Forey
uttered are not very different from those
of the Emperor, though he declared that
he only spoke for himself.
Letters from the East Indies represent
the cotton trade as greatly increased
during the American war The shipment
for five months alone during last year
over the Great Indian Peninsula railway
amounted to 100000 bales, three times
the amount for the same period IN the
preceding year

How Different Nations Eat.

The Moldavian islanders eat alone,
They retire into the most hinder parts OF
their houses, and then draw down the
cloths that serve as blinds to their win
dows, that they may eat unobseryed; On
the contrary, the Islanders of the Phil
lipines are remarkably sociable. When
ever one of them finds himself without
a companion TO partake of mis- meal, ne
runs till he meets with one; and however
keen his appetite may be, he ventures
not to satisfy it without a guest. The
tables of the rich Chinese shine with
beautiful varnish, and are covered with
silk carpets very elegantly worked. They
do not make use of plates, knives and
forks every guest is furnished with two
little ivory or ebony sticks, which he
handles very adroitly. A Kamschatkan
kneels before his guest, cuts an enormous
slice from a sea-calf and Grams 1t into
the mouth of his friend, furiously crying
out, "Tapa' ("there, " and cutting away
what hangs absut his lips, snatches and
devours it with avidity.

A Reminiscence Of the Kearsarge and
Alabama Fight.


A writer in the COrnhiU Magazine
who has had opportunities of observa'
ton with some of Semmes old crew,
gives the following interesting reminis'
cence of the fight between the Alabama
and the Kearsarge, from which it ap'
pears that the rebels were left to drown
when the pirate sunk
81 thought you had been in the Con
federate navy p Il was, said Aleck
II was with Semmes everywhere he went.
| was in the nava! brigade and blockade
running, and on the Alabama all the
while he commanded her. But not
when she sank, suppose" / rejoined.
"Well, / was, and was picked up with
him by the Deerhound. 1t was a
pretty sharp fight, wasn't 1t 2 ! suggest
ingly asked. 1t was that, replied
Aleck; but he didn't care about enlarg-
ing. Il Isuppose it was the ll-inch shells
that did her businessY" Oh, no, said
he, coming to a kind Of confessional, ,
we never had any chance; we had no
gunners to compare with the Kearsarge' s.
Our gunners fired by routine, and when
they had the gun loaded, fired it off blind.
They never changed the elevation OF
their guns all the fight, and the kear-
sarge was working up to us all the while,
taking advantage of every time she was
hid by smoke to work little nearer, and
then her gunners took aim tor every
shot" Then it isn't true that the Ala
bama tried to board the kearsarge
"No, sir; she did her best to get away
from her from the time the fight COM
menced. We knew well that if we got in
range of her Dahlgren howitzers she
would sink us in ten minutes.
But" Iasked, don't you believe that
Semmes supposed he would whip the
Kearsarge when he went out TO fight
her p mo; he was bullied into it, and
took good care TO leave all his valuables
on shore, and had life-preserver on
through the fight. saw him put it on,
and / thought if it was wise in him it
wouldn't be foolish in me, and put one
on too When Semmes saw that the
ship was going down, he told all to
swim who could, and was one OF the first
to Jump into the water, and we all made
for the Deerhound. was q long way
ahead of Semmes, and when | came up
to the Deerhounds boat, they asked me
if was Semmes, before they would take
me in. / said | wasn't, and then they
asked me what | was on the Alabama.
Said l, No matter what | was on the
Alabama, | shall be dead man soon If
YOU don't take me in. They asked me
again if / was an officer or a seaman,
and wouldn't take me in until i told
them that was an officer" Bat, said
|, did they actually refuse to pick up
common seamen and leave them to
drownY' They did that" replied he,
wrathfully, and probably not very correct
ly, and as soon as they had Semmes on
board they made tracks as fast as they
knew how, and left everybody else to
drown or be picked up by the kear-
sarge"

Cold Feet.

Nothing is more inducive of pulmonary
disease than cold feet. Cold feet cannot
possibly occur if the circulation IS prop
erly kept up. A sense of GOODNESS In
them is an indication that they are not
sufficiently protected by clothing. Our
bodies are often overburdened
with overcoats and wrapping
shawls. while our limbs are but imper-
fectly covered. Now there is nothing
more dangerous than allowing the feet to
become damp and cold. Health requires
that they should always be kept warm
