The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1866-03-10

Just completed his work on the State laws
Refusing to leave the State for which be had
labored for years, he dared the leaders of Seces-
sion TO the utmost, yet although threatened he
was never disturbed. Ills death caused the pro-
toundest sorrow through the State and over the
entire North. He was the faithful among the
faithless and he 6ied confident in the success
which has since crowned the Union cause
Ills character, as depicted by his biographer,
can be summed up in q few WoTds-consoen
tious, fearless, and eloquent he couli mover be
moved from the course which he esteemed just.
A man of mighty powers, a selfmade man, and
one who, had he turned his attention more to
politics, would have ranked among the Websters,
Cslhouns, and Clays of the Senate. Had ten
such men been foui in that modern Sodom
she would not have been halt pile OF ashes as
she is to-day.
OF the work itself wo must speak highly.
Written in style OF easy Huency, it is pleasant
reading from the first page to the last. It pos
sesses interest even if the man OF whom it speaks
was not SO well known and appreciated and IL
evidently the effort of a man well versed in
letters. II is not sufficiently toned down in its
style, but the untlmely death of the author may
be the reason. 1t is beautifully got up by Messr..
Harper, and deserves large sale.

LcTing, Boston. &. w. Pitcher, No. S06 Ches-
nut street, Agent.
pleasantly written, though rather too pro.
lix govel. The characters are drawn with fine,
bold hand which savors more of man then a
lacy. The scene is laid in England and is re.
pete with pleasant interest. Some of the per
sons are demigods, and all of them have a be-
fttrt Of raip na Of orl,
eventually becomes saint. It is neatly got up,
and will repay perusal. The establishment Of
Nr. Pitcher is also noticeable for the variety OF
its albums, number of new works, and rarest
collection of photography. His albums are
among the richest and most varied in the city.

The work is, we understand, sensational
novel. 1t is one Of the uni form edition of Messrs

We have before us a copy OF the american
Exchange and Review" for February. 1t is an
able magazine. The departments devoted tc
finance, metalurgy, banks, and other special
ties are especially well edtod being replete with
information and carefully digested statistics
The Omitted States Service Magazine" fol
March contains a graphic sketch of "The 9th
Army Corps" by MajorGen Mcmahon, which
is of deep interest not only to every soldier of the
corps, but also to the general reader. An article
on Notifications deserves especial attention from
our military men. The present number is al
| that could be desired.
The philadelphia Photographer" for Marcel
contains beautifully executed photograph of {

| is devoted to professional and scientific subject
| connected with the art.
