JESUS OF NAZARETH His Life and Teachings;
founded OIL the four Gospels and illustrated
by reference to the minDers, customs. rell-
giUus beliefs, and political institutions or his
times. BY Lipman Abbott, with dosgns by
Dore, DeLaroche. Fem and others: New
York: Harper & Brothers, 1869. Holmes
Book House, Charleston.
Henry Ward. Beecher must look to his
laurels. The life of Christ which he an
nounces is anticipated by n volume written
very much in his style, and with variety
Of contemporary allusion, such as the SEN
satioualist of the Plymouth Church can
scarcely go beyond. The analogies to
which Mr.. Abbott resorts are oftentimes
fanciful, for time does not repeat itself,
neither does nature. The correspondence
he seeks to establish between the Jewish
Commonwealth and the American Republic
fails in many particulars. His description
Of Galilee, as ''the New England of Pales-
tine," is sipgularly infelicitcus; it is found
ed neither on the manners of the people,
the products of the sell, the climate, nor the
geological formations, but simply upon the
f ct that either is rolling country with a
Lebanon (a white mountain) range to the
northward Perhaps Mr.. Abbott needs to
90 reminded that the Syrian Lebanon is
white inside as we'll as outside it is G
limestone formation, and SO has only re-
aemblance in name to the granite heights of
New Hampshire.
We are constrained also to object to the
rollicking spirit in which our author ap-
proaches so grave subject as the life Of
the Redeemer. Without question he has
made popular book-sull of information,
of genial colloquy, of happy hits, of fasci-
mating narratives. There is freshness in
the careless, crisp style, q picturesqueness
in the rapid skechings and groupings of
the Evangelical history, an American
movement and hurry given to the qniet
Oriental life, which entrances the reader
but for our part, we would be better suited
by'a style more reyerent and solemn and
tender. The illustrations are for the most
part excellent, aud add to the interest Of
the volume. The republication, however,
of some of tue plates, from Abbott's "Holy
Land" would have been very serviceable.
We refer particularly to the plans of the
principal historic districts.

D. Howells, author OF g Ycuetian Life" &c.
New York : G.. p Putnam s. Son. Charles
ton: Fogarties' Book Depository.
Mr.. Howells is SO well known rs writer
of graceful and delicate prose, that we have
long felt that it was con the cards. that he
might some day glide into verse and jast
such verse as we have here, delicate, airy,
tender, pathetic, musical. The poem is
wri:en in hexameters, and Mr.. Howells
manages that very difficult measure with
grace aud spirit. 1t is very short, only
fifty pages Of largely printed letter-press
The theme would have borne little more
elaboration. What there is of it, however,
is simply chnruing, and few who have read
it once but will rctrace their steps. The
'gct-up' of the volume is perfect, and the
illustrations Of unusual mcris

The first inning was the most brill
liant of the game, in one sense of the
word. Dexter first took the bat and
went out on foul caught by Benton
Babcock sent ball towards the
sky, and Rapp had his hands fairly
under it as it came down.
Wentz generously sent his ball
within easy distance of short stop,
who passed it to first base in time,
and the side went out whitewashed.
Tom Burke, of the Bluff City, hand
ed an easy ball to Roach on second
base, who accepted the courtesy, and
Burke passed the bat to Winters,
who batted to the neighborhood of
left base, who stopped it readily, and
passed it moment too late to first
base. Winters got his second base
On passed ball.
Swarts sent long ball beautifully
batted to left field, which John
Wheeler took handsomely, amid much
applause by the spectators. and Win
ters made his third base.
Benton batted to second base, and
Roach accommodated him, putting
out the side-whitewashed.
Roach at the bat opened the second
inning. and attempted to make first
on called balls, but failed to come to
time.
Nurre sent ball safe to right field
and got to third base and stole home.
Wheeler was caught out on third
strike.
Gwathmey batted his ball too short
and failed to reach first base on time.
The Bluff City Club had a series of
good luck, and held the bat till.
they scored thirteen, one-half of the
bases at least being made on passed
balls and wild throwing. Some very
fine batting was done by the Memphis
Club, but owed most of their success
to passed balls. In this inning John
Wheeler took another beautiful fly
| by Lawrence. Levi sent a nice ball
straight to Babcock, who mufFed it
and let Lev, to the third, and he
then stole home on passed ball. II.
Burke offered another nice, long ball
to Wheeler, who dropped it. In this
inning VIC noticed nine passed balls,
all Of service to the Bluff City.
From that time on, the playing vas
more even. and on the last three in
nings the score was the same. the
playing on both sides improving.
Throughout the entire game, how
ever, there was a manifest lack of

A CURIOsTTY.-We were shown, on
Saturday night, a section of cane
which excelled anything which we
supposed existed 1t was about four
inches in diameter, and the gentle
man having it in his possession in
forms us that cane in Cuba and South
America can be found eight inches in
diameter and eighty feet long. The
people in those countries use sections
Of cane for water buckets. DR.. B. f..
Smith, of New OGeans, has devised a
plan for using this cane for water
pipes, as a substitute for iron and
lead pipes, as, by process which he
has had patented, they are rendered
indestructible. and being only about
one-sixteenth the weight of iron, and
vastly cheaper, it is not improbable
that the new invention, or rather dis
covery, may come into very general
use. as we understand the patentee
designs manufacturing the bituman-
lied cane pipe to a large extent with
view of introducing it to general
use. It can be made of any size from
three quarters of an inch to eight
inches in diameter. We have Joint
Of the prepared cane on our desk
which the curious can examine, by
calling at seasonable hours.
