VISIT OF PHILADELPHIANs.-Apa party of six
teen citizens of Philadelphia, comprising sew
eral members of the Select and Common
Coencil of that city and some of the Fire
Commissioners, who have been visiting Cana
da and the White Mountains, arrived here
yesterday. During their visit to various large
places, they have investigated the matter of a
paid fire department, with aview, if they ap-
prove of it, of changing the system of volun-
teer department in their own city.
Mayor Stevens, Chief Engineer Moody and
the Assistant Engineers took charge of these
gentlemen and showed them all over the city,
and gave them valuable information as to the
working of our fire department.. They visited
some of our school and engine houses, and ex-
pressed their pleasure at what they saw and
what they learned of our system in both
branches. In the afternoon they left for

The youth of genius is immortal, we sup
pose; otherwise we know not how to account
for the freshness, the vivacity, the youthful
ness offeeling which is so striking charac
teristic of this latest story from the pen of a
lady who wrote romances for our mothers five
and-thirty years ago. 1t has all the tender
ness, the grace, the fervor of sentiment which
belonged TO her earliest writings. Its very
faults too,-a tendency TO extravaganza in the
use of flowers and coloring, and an exaggera-
ton of sentiment till it touches the verge Of
sentimentalism-are the faults of youth. The
story is of two beautiful octoroon sisters whose
father, n Northern man living in New Orleans,
neglected to free them, and dying suddenly
left his affairs involved, in consequence of
which they were sold. 1t is tale which has
had 'aany parallels in the dark days which are
gone, thank Godi forever; and it is told with
mach force and dramatic power. The char
aSters are well drawn, that of Floracita, espec-
lazy, VIII De recognized by all familiar with
The mixed races of the South, as the natural
result of her birth and breeding. We do not
propose to spoil the interest of our readers in
this story by giving any outline of the plot;
but we rnay merely remark that the author,
like TFlaclleray, evidently approves the plan of
glvin her novels good ending. There are
triadj and tears for the personages of her little
dr1ha, but the curtain falls on scene of hap

ELLEN: Poem for the Times-New York
81. w. Carleton and Company
A dainty little volume bearing the above
title comes to us unheralded and anonymous,
attracting us by its very freedom from all the
usual sensational display. II is not long, its
less than half hundred pages being easily
read at sitting. We confess to having gone
through it with good deal more pleasure
than we had anticipated. 1t has evidently
been written by person in whom the poetic
sehsibiiities are considerably more marked
than the power of poetic expression. There
are many marks Of "a raw hand upon it, and
the critical reader will not fail to fl nd some Of
lenses against the canons of correct taste !:
but for all that he will discover such evidences
of delicate fancy, of a mind singularly fine
and spiritual, and tone of thought so serene
and pure as will lead him to overlook much
that is defective in form and expression. We
have no idea who the author of ELLEN" NAV
be but we incline to think he Tor she) may yet
do something which will furnish title to
place among the known and noted.
