BOOK NOTICES.

ABOUT WOMAN, LOVE AND MARRIAGE. BY 7. Saun
ders, author Of salad for the Solitary" &C. New
This Is an enjoyable little book OF four chapters.
That number Is just large enough and the chapters
just long enough respectively for their topics
Celibacy, the Ruling Passion, Welded Life and
Modern Impediments to Marriage. Making no spe-
ca pretence to say the last word for the world at
large on any of these subjects, the author goes
through, over, under and around them with graceful
RESPONSIVENESS and in good company fitting in very
happily, the phrases Of dead and gone wits, poets and
philosophers not failing to make very satisfactory
points OF his own as occasion offers.
THE PHILOSOPHERS OF ToUFOuvILLE. BY Radical
Freeance. New York: G. W. Carleton. 1868.
This is written to sarlze all the sorts Of fools that
the author does not like-apparenty the strong
minded women and the social transcendentalists
generally. The object is commendable, but as the
book 10 so dull that it Will never be read through the
fools VIII probably not stand any the worse Tor 1t IN
the eyes oil the world.
BEPPO, THE CoNsCRIPT. by T. A. TrollOpe. Phila-
delphia: L. b. Peterson 4 Bro. 1865
This is one Of the excellent Italian stories OF the
other TrOllope, the brother OF the Irollope whose
novels OF English life are familiar to our public.
This authors stories studies OF the life OF the
Italian people OF the present time ana IN no 9'he e
pages IS that comparatively unknown mass OF hu-
manty pictured with such fidelity.
PLAIN THOUGHTS ON THE ART OF LIVING; DESIGNED
FOR YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN. BY washington
GLADDEN.. Boston: TicknOr Fields. 1868.
This is little volume of morality that is not dull.
II is refreshing to find that man may have point,
pith and good sense when his essays tend from
their purpose to become sermons. We commend
these plain thoughts for the unusual character OF
putting good things modesty.
SMOKED GLASS. BY Orpheus G. Kerr. New York:
g. W. Carleton, 1868.
This is the authors usual instalment OF the fun he
has been able to squeeze from current events to
date, including whatever of aughable he has found
in impeachment and reconstruction The laughter
will be more or less according AS the readers TO be
tickled with straws are many or few.
THE CROWN OF JESUS. A Complete Catholic Manual
OF Devotion, Doctrine and Instruction. New
York: Edward DUNCAN Il Brother
''Be thou faithful unto death and | Will give thee
the crown OF life" is the sacred quotation which
heralds this little volume its title page Endorsed
the book is by the late Cardinal Wiseman and the
leading hierarchy OF Ireand-the seat of Catholic de-
voton and acorn Of the oak OF faith-it cannot but
be acceptable and safe reading for Catholics every
where. There appears to be few points in the doc
trine devotional exercises Of the Church that
not embraced within the 1888 pages, neatly printed,
gold edged and clothed in handsome binding, which
go to make up the book. TO the faithful 1t will
doubleday prove favOrite and useful companion.

special mission to st. Petersburg. So two of

In such circumstances Admiral Farragut, who
is now receiving favors at the hands OF the
Turkish government, had no right to inter-
fere and we are not sorry that he was
politely snubbei. 1t is not the object OF the
American people, when they send their admi-
rails forth on pleasure excursions, to make it
the principal duty Of those admirals to foment
insurrection wherever they find themselves.

A Grave Mistake.

There was a meeting at Cooper Institute on
Thursday evening, and a very successful one
too with bonfires, blue lights, torches, capes and
banners Speeches were made, and beyond
question very eloquent ones, by major gene
rails, senator's and private citizens. A great
deal of enthusiasm prevailed and everybody
went home tired no doubt, sober, we hope, and
well satisfied with themselves and all the
world, of course. All this was well enough;
but the meeting should have been denominated
what it really was-a republican campaign
rally-and not have assumed to itself the name
of a celebration of the anniversary of the bat
tie of Antietam. Many battles were fought
during the war of the rebellion, and in them
all democrats and republicans stood shoulder
to shoulder in the ranks or lay side by side in
death upon the field of strife. Antietam espe-
cally was fought and won under demo-
cratic general, and no regiments distinguished
themselves more nobly than did those newly
recruited in the democratic city Of New York.
These are historical facts, and at the celebra-
ton of the victories in which all parties shared
alike we should especially eschew partisan
speeches and political denunciation. AS
great political demonstration the Cooper Insti-
tute meeting was grand success; as a cele-
bration of a national victory won on the field
of battle il reflected no credit on those who APP
peared as the orators Of the evening.

MORE DISTURBANCE IN TURKEY. The
Greeks Of Chios have had a small in
surrection. Chos is little island in the
Egean Sea, longitudinal in shape, with sur
face Of some four hundred square miles, and
containing population Of about thirty or
thirty-fve thousand. Chios, as every reader
of poetry knows, is famous for its wine and
one of the many localities which claim to
have been the birthplace of Homer The
Chions, who suffered terribly in 1922, hate
their Turkish masters. II was not unnatural,
although not wise, for the inhabitants Of that
island TO celebrate the birth OF the son
and heir of the Danish King Of Greece. II
was certainly not becoming for an American
Official TO take part in any such celebration.

OF this deficiency the figures further show in
round numbers that forty thousand was re-
publican and twenty-five thousand democratic,
leaving a republican balance or majority on
this reserved vote of eighteen thousand and
all this vote in this October election will be
brought out. 1t will thus appear that unless
there is a change in the opinions of some
twenty thousand Pennsylvania republicans of
1866 in favor of Seymour and against Grant
there is no hope for the democracy in Penn
sylvania. From the shape which the folly Of
the democratic managers and leaders, stumpers
and newspapers, North and South, has given
TO this canvass, we look for result in Penn
sylvania in October which will settle the ques-
ton of the November election very decisively
in favor of General Grant.

y man in Cincinnati thinks he has
invented stove that won't set fire TO Il
railrORd car in case of u smash up, and
he has been exhibiting the machine to
CinCinnatians who are averse to being
roasted before their time. There is u
vessel of water under the stove,
and, when the car upsets, as it is
expected to do when the accident hap
pens, the water puts out the fire. In his
exhibition of is merits, he has his stove
swung on two hinges, tilts the affair
upside down, and, OF course, the water
puts out the fire and nobody gets
burned up-at least not at the exhibi-
bitiOn. 1t is not stated whether there is
any arrangement about the machine
that will always insure the car to up
set, i'll case of accident, so as to pour
the water over the fire. Irthere is not,
the inventor ought to get up such an
attachment to it Immediately, for it is
we'll known that cars when they get
off the track and go tumbling down
embanl1nents aud such places, are ex-
ceedingly irregular and Cisorderly in
their habits, and often light on end,

DEATH-BED DISCLOSURES ny A M1sER,
There died i'll Coventry, England, a
few days since, an elderly unmarried
man named Palmer. Just before his
death, being unable to speak, he wrote
down the information that in an old
coat up the chimney would be found
ESQ in sovereigns. The relatives to
whom the disclosure was made at once
went to the chimney indicated, and
there found a coat, and In the pocket
the cash as described. The dying man
then became distressed, and gave the
surprised relatives to understand that
there was some more money about the
house; but he could not tell them where
he must himself find it. AS Palmer
was unable to do this, he died. taking
the secret of the hiding place of this ad
ditional hoard with him. The sugges-
tive part of the story is that there have
been already u number of applications
for the house lately occupied by the de-
ceased. Palmer always appeared a
very poor man, earning, apparently, an
honest but scanty living in the sale OF
sweets for children.

The Flowing SnrInr

= Forty miles from New Creek Station,
B ~ 0. r. r., in direct southerly di.
rection, In Hardy County, lies the viii
laGe OF Petersburg. a chain of heayi-
~ wooded mountains runs parallel with
the Franklin turnpike, the highest
point OF the chain, familiar to many of
your readers Rs Charles Knob, being
equi-distant from Mooretield on the
one side, and Petersburg on the other,
Near the terminus of-or rather where
the range takes an easterly course
half up the rugged broken steep, is
found sthat infra-mundane oddity,
known In those parts as the Glowing
spring" The most singular character
lsticS or this phenomenon, are its peri
odtcal hOwings: which occur during
the months of July and August, only,
and at intervals-with slight variations
of sixty minutes. The scenery in
the immediate vicinity of the spring,
Is neither grand or picturesque; per
contra, wild and very broken; surface
Indications denOting that this part OF
the mountains had been torn to frag-
ments, mt some primeval period, and
by succeeding conVulsion, thrown

sesses.

mile, you enter space somewhat de-

large lOpsided rock, narrowing from
the middle down, and from the middle
up, resting nearly free OF the earth; its
surface In and inclined plane; its shape
simply indisCribable. About midway
ot the rOck-just where it leaves the
the earth-under and at the side of lin
the earth) is circular opening two and
half inches in diameter, the famous
spring itself. At the foot OF the rock

the opening above, passing entirely
clear OF the rock on the Outsitle-is u
small hollow, or pool, apparently
when the spring is not flowing, but IA
few drops OF wnter. While awaiting
some indication OF the coming wonder,
you notice the water in the pooh grad
ually increasing in volume though
the flow is SO gentle, and the Increase
so gradual, that you can not detect its
current. The pool has been half filled
by the incessnnt flowing, when with
an tmPetuOus gush, a stream the thick
ness OF mans wrist goes rushing and
winding down the side of the noun
tain, SO continuing for fifteen minutes.
AT the expiration of that time the wa

OBSCENE PuBLICATIoNs.-The Balti-
more american, commenting on the
measures taken in that city to suppress
the sale of obscene newspapers very
justly remarks:
Commencing with small beginnings,
those publications, mostly originating
in New York, have grown into a mOm-
strous evil, constantly increasing in
number and evidently cultiVating n
uepraVed public taste that has render
ed them remunerative, until each sue
cePding spawn OF the infamous prog
eny has aimed to be more low, brutal
and disgusting in its printed recitals of
crime and infamy, and more open and
shameless in the obsCenity and inde-
cency OF its pictorial representations.
No greater Indictment to vice can be
imagined than this open and shameless
exhibition of its achievements, Its or
gies and its pleasures. BrOthels must
succeed when they are thus advertised,
violence become popular when at every
street corner we see pictorial illustra-
tions of the use of the bludgeOn, the
knife or the pistol, and chastity be at
emblRZoned. These publications fall
very largely into the hands of the
young, the ignorant and the vicious,
and pander to their passions, whilst
they teach disregard of law and con-
tempt for morality. They are moral
plaques, more deadly and infectious
than any physical disease, and against
which we should adopt the strictest
precautions and the most stringent re.
preSsive measures. The effort that has
been commenced will SO entirely com
mand public approval that 1t needs
only to be pressed to secure practical
anu most beneticent reform.

THE Greensburg Iud.) Herald, in
commenting on the bill to put recon-
strucIion in General Grants hands,
says:
"When that time does come (when
it passes the Senate) the sooner
the earth is rid of him the better; there
will be job for another Booth. By
the hair of st. Michael, we would
rather see him in hi than king over
n single inch of fAmerican.soil, and it is
our opinion, il his Equestrian Might
iness were to accept under the new re.
construction law, he would be seeking
a home in the above hot region before
he would ever reach the capital of his
new Kingdom"
We need hardly add that the Herald
is Democratic paper.
