NEW PUBLICATIONS.

The March number of the National Quar-
terly Review, edited BY Edward ]. Sears, L..
L. d., contains several interesting and impor-
tant articles. The opening article is upon
the subject of "Corals, Coral Reefs and
Islands." 1t is devoted to the discussion of
the question how the large reefs and islands
are formed. The old theory was that they
were due to volcanic formations in the bed Of
the ocean, but the later theory and that which
the writer adopts is that they are occasioned
by . gradual subsidence of the land where
they are found. The description Of some of
the coral lagoons and grottoes in the southern
seas is beautiful. An article upon Mill and
Agassiz. draws q comparison between these
two great men, in which their leading char
acteristics are portrayed and contrasted. A
readable article is one entitled 1.-The Acct
dents of Sublunary Immortality" in which
many instances are presented to show what q
bubble fame is, how little worth striving for,
and how many have 1t thrust upon them by
chance. There are articles upon "Herr
Strauss and his Pantheistic System;" the
"Glacisl Period, its Cause and Influence !"
Constitutes, Academies and Seminaries of the
Hudson, An article which tells hard stories
about some of these institutions; and clos
ing article upon "The Salient characteristics
of Washington" We have examined this
number with much pleasure.
The April number Of The Republic contains
alsrge amount Of useful political matter. The
topics presented are such as are now attracting
the attention of Congress and political parties.
The tone of this periodical is conservative on
most questions, and it strives to be candid as
we'll as cautious. An appendix contains the
speeches of Mr.. McCrary and Mr.. Hoar on
the Transportation bill.

The refusal Of Miss Charlotte Cushman

sentation for the poor of certain city,
she alleging that she gave yearly some
two thousand dollars in charity. and that
the representation would be a one sided
affair ~ between her and the individuals
& Of which her audience would be composed,
since she would give some four or five
hundred dollars while they would give but
. dollar apiece, has called ont some CON-
ments from the press about the fondness
of some people for bestowing charity vi
car:ously by suggesting and allowing
somebody else to do the work or pay the
money. Country doctors are class who
do an enormous amount OF unpaid. I'M
known and unreccgnized work. They
give more time and labor, and sacrifice
more comfort and health without return,

and still do an amount Of free advertising
for charitable and kindred purposes. which
Il seldom considered, and still less often
gratefully remembered. Every one
thinks. says the Springfield Republican,
This private concerns something worthy
Of the editors absorbed study and prompt
publication. The sweet Inconsistencies
with which persons daily present their
special axes to grind would be exquisite
II IL were not SO vexatious. In the matter
of public charity the remark Is peculiarly
apropos. Probably a chief reason why
the public ask, and are ready to accept
without special gratitude or consideration,
the services of these classes, is because
they do not fully appreciate the fact that
the things they give are their property and
merchandise. They would not think, for
instance, Of inviting the merchants of a
city to club their special lines of goods,

The Grand Trunk Railroad for the six
months ending Dec. 81, earned s., 305, 9S5
The net earnings were 1861, 400. This sum was
ample for the payment of obligations to all
leased roads, interest on bonds, etc. The
increase for the half year was over nine per
cent. A. compared with the corresponding
months of the previous yesr. The earnings
would have been still greater but for the tenn
porary disorsanization caused by 4 change
of gusse. The panic also reduced receipts.
The working expenses are 65 per cent. Of the
receipts. For the six months ending Dec.

were among the additions to the road. The
Grand Trunk Railroad now has total invest

CURRENCY AND PARTIES.

The vote in Congress upon the currency
question creates speculation as to the ef-
feet which financial issues will have upon
existing political parties. 1t is observed
that no attention is paid to party lines by
members voting on the subject, and that
division upon it is geographical and Sec
tional. An analysis of the House vote on
the Senate currency bill shows the follow
ing facts: In favor Of the bill, 103 repub-
licans, Sc democrats, liberal, total lao
against the bill, IS republicans, Sc demo-
Gratis, 8 liberals. total 1902. 1t is evident
at once from these figures that members
voted without regard TO party considera-
tons. The republicans gave larger per-
centage of their votes for the bill than the
democrats, but the latter were divided ex-
actly in the middle. Upon examining the
vote with regard to locality it is found that
Of the 140 votes cast for the bill 124 came
from States west of the Alleghanies and
south of the Potomac. and only 16 from
States east and north of those boundaries ;
while Of the 102 against the bill only "a
were cast by the west and south.
In . re-cast of parties then upon the
currency question. if such were to occur,
the division would be geographical and
sectional, a form ofthings political which
is Objectionable to all prudent and far.see-
ing men. Issues and parties based upon
sectional lines will therefore be avoided if
possible.
Again, will the west and south dare to
take the field under the banner of virtual
Reputation, of national dishonor. which
they must as the advocates and defenders
gilmore inconvertiblc paper. 1t will be very
doubtful indeed if single State in the
Union has the audacity to place itself up
on such ground. Besides the dishonor
which such q party would incur as the
party Of reputation, the precedents for
such course are far from encouraging in
the way Of success with the people. The
prospect is that the party would be badly
beaten as well as disgraced by its princi
Piles. The people Of the country are hon.
ester than those who clamor for more cur
rency. 1t has been tried and proved in
former elections that they desire govern
ment TO pay its debts, to fulfill its contracts,
to redeem its notes according to promise.
They do not like the sound of reputation
in any shape, are strenuously opposed to
carrying even the faintest odor of it upon
their garments, and no party can stand
before them pledged to dishonesty.
There is no probability therefore that
he currency question will be made an
issue between parties. Neither of the
present parties will favor the issue of un-
limited currency. both will oppose it and
favor return to specie payments. Those
congressional districts which desire more
paper viii send paper advocates to Con-
gress, but no effort will be made to organ
ize national party upon the basis of re-
pudiation. Parties will stand upon other
issues. The vote in Congress upon the
currency bill shows that party lines are
not potential upon that matter in the pres
ent Congress. but it does not indicate that
new parties are probable with finance as
the leading issue.
