Anne -ican Wood Engravers.

American wood engravers are the best
in the world, and even the London
Saturday ReuiesD at length recognizes
the fact. '"The impartial critic" it says,
"who asked where the best wood cuts
answer possible: Neither in England,
Germany nor France, but in America.
In fact, the engraver there is far ahead of
the artist, and if they had such men as
our own chief book illustrators-ar artists
to whom drawing on wood has been a
special study-to draw for their en-
gravers, our transatlantic cousins
might well boast that they had beaten
the country of Bewick and Jackson. The
only proof needed of the truth of our re-
luctant admission may be found in mo-
ment. Take any recent number of such
an American periodical as Sc,ib,aer's
Magazine, and compare it with the Corn
hill. Yet look at the delicacy of the
American engraving, the number of diff
ferent tints and shades, the microscopic
granting of the ground, the absolute
fidelity of the print to the original draw
ing, the subordination of the engraver's
mind to that of the artist whose work he
perpetuates. In ordinary English wood
cuts, the artists work is translated, not
perpetuated. It is obliterated, and we
must put up with translation, just as
some ancient Greek authors are only
known by the Latin versions of their
works. A child can recognize the heavy
hand of the engraver. His individuality,
his mannerism, his much more strongly
marked than that of the artist, and in
the result we have black and white
imitation of a pen-and-ink drawing,
absolutely devoid of graduation, and
showing everywhere that the cutter has
been wrestling with the artist, not help
ing him; has been shouting him down,
rather than allowing him to tell his own
tale. It is, of course, no business of
ours to ask how the American engraver
obtains his effects, whether he largely
uses machinery, whether he cuts on
q softer wood than box, or on no wood at
all but some composition. All this is
beside the question; certain it is that, if
we want to see modern typography
worthy to compare with Bewick's. we
must go to America for it, = .

The Suffering Sultan.

The Constantinople correspondent OF
the Manchester Guardian, writing on
the Oath of September, gives a gloomy
account of the state of affairs on the Bos-
phorus. He says:
The supposed attempt to assassinate
the sultan has made deep impression,
and Abdul Hamid is now brooding over
the stormy scenes and violent events
which had rendered possible his advance
ment to the throne. Ugly rumors are
floating about as to mental arrangement
and wild measures being instituted to
give fancied increase of security to the
palace of Yildiz, and though it would be
hardly safe upon such grounds to assert
that the present Sultan was going the
way of his predecessor, it is certain that
the unfortunate monarch at the present
moment is suffering from great nervous
depression, and can hardly be brought
to pay the necessary attention to public
affairs. While gloom and distrust reign
at the palace, anger and despair have en-
tered every Turkish household at Con-
term for the feeling with which the
present state of affairs is viewed by the
people in general; for the language of
individuals when they find themselves
free to express their thoughts is disloya1
in the extreme. How can it be otherwise
when, after months of patient waiting,
they find matters going from bad to
worse; and the promised amelioration as
far off as ever? The last Bairam has
been anything but a season of Joy; for
the struggle to keep the wolf from the
door has left nothing for feasting. For
the first time within the memory of any
one at Constantinople, perhaps in the
history of the Turks since they first be-
gan to form nation, the troops did not
receive months pay either in Ramazan
OF Bairam. Only the officers received
half months pay, and even this relief
was not extended to all, while the rations
upon which these families depend for
food have been falling into arrear. The
people are cowed, and among themselves
hardly venture to air their grievances
for fear of the secret police. I have
heard lately of one officer who ventured
to present petition to the Sultan having
mysterious]y disappeared. His family
have sought for tidings of him in vain,
and the supposition is that he is now on
his way to some distant place of exile for
having spoken too plainly of the distress
among the poorer officers. Unfortu-
nately for the people, the scarcity of
money, and the distress it occasions, is
not brought home to the ministers and
the heads of departments. They always
manage to secure their large salaries
whether debts remain unpaid. No steps
have yet been taken for the reorganiza-
ton of the police and gendarmie, or the
reduction of tho army and navy. The
Imperial trade was signed for the dis
banding of some seventy-fve battalions
during the Ramazan, and it was said that
the men would be sent to their homes
after Briram; but appar-
emily the Scraskeir ate has not been able
to provide the necessary money for pay
ing even portion of the arrears due to
the poor soldiers, and the arsenal for the
same reason cannot furnish the neces-
sary transport.

Prise p.ainlscences.

The death of the late General Joseph
Hooker recalls to the mind of the wris Or
memorable incident that occurred
during our late unpleasantness" of 5000
Confederates warmly cheering Major
General of the United States Army.
Those of our readers who shared with
us the privations of prison like in
Rock Island, ILL.,, during the severe
winter. of 1868 will learn with sorrow of
the death of General Hooker; a sorrow
born of profound respect for gallant
soldier and true gentleman, and the
mention of his name will doubtless re-
call fresh to their memories the visit of
inspection he paid the prison inf we
mistake not the date-the winter of
1868.
In full uniform and mounted on a
large, handsome gray stallion. General
Hooker presented grand appearance
when he entered the prison gate. By
his side rode Lieutenant Colonel Carrier,
second in command of the post, but who
really commanded it, and a more
cowardly, cruel and dirty villain never
disgraced Gods image of man. Behind
the two rode a couple of oficers-we
were members of General Hooker's
staff. Slowly the little cavalcade rode
down, and then up the lines of the
wretched, half-starved captives who
were drawn up for inspection, but who
instinctively shrank back from the bru-
tai and triumphant stare of Carrier, ex-
pecting every moment to receive curse
or blow from him. The keen, quick
eyes of General Hooker seemed to scan
every man from head to heel, as he
slowly passed them in review, and at the
upper end of the lines, near where the
writer stood, the party halted; and the
old General, half wheeling his horse,
lifted his hat with as much knightly
grace as if we had all been courtiers, and
a soft expression passed over his face as
he said, Young gentlemen, am sorry
very sorry, for you, and hope that oul
differences will be settled, SO that you
all can return safely home again.
simple as the expression was, it was sc
different from those we had been accus
toned to hearing from the commander
of the prison that it touched the hearts
of the 'sragged rebs" like a current
of electricity, and instantly three
thousand throats gave lusty cheer fol
s'fghting Joe Hooker
We are pretty certain that there was
not man in the line who would not, il
he had chance, have hung Carrier al
that time; and we were equally as GER
tain there was not rebel on the ground
would not, at the same time, have
risked his own life to save Gen. Hooker
from harm.
1t is with profound sorrow that we an
nounce his death, for when friendless
penniless and fettered in irons, he
cheered us by his gentle looks, and wor
our respect and admiration by his kind
words; and we, as ex-Confederate
soldiers will contribute our mite
towards having his name engraved upor
the everlasting rock of Lookout Noun
tain; and let the mountain itself be his
monument, for no man during the war
whether he wore the blue OF the gray
more truly won his sobriquet than die
the gallant Fighting Joe Hooker" -

THE CLOSING SCENE.
BY THOMAS BUCHANAN READ.

lThe following is pronounced by the Vest.
minister ReUiesO 10 be unquesfionabIy the nnest
American poem ever written:J
Within the sober realm of leafiess trees
The russet year inhaled the dreamy air,
Like some tanned reaper, in his hour Of ease,
When ali the fields are lying brown and bar e.
The gray barus. looking from their hazy hills
Ger the dim waters widening in the wales,
Sent down the air a greeting TO the mills
On the dull thunder of alternate fails.
All sights were mellowed, all sounds subdued !;
The hills seemed inrther, and the stream
AS in a dream the distant wood man hewed
His winter logs, with many mufftsd blow
The embattled forests, erewhile armed with
gold,
Their banners bright with every martial az hue
Now stood like some sad, beaten host OF old,
withdrawn ajar in Times remotest blue.
On sombre wings the vnlture tried his flight;
The dove scarce heard his singing mates
And, like star, slow rowning in the light, j.
The village church vane seemed to pale ana
faint
Crew thrice-and all was stiller than before;
Sil-nt, till some replying warder blew
His alien horn, and then was heard no more.
Where erst the Jay, within the elm's tall crest,
Made garrulous trouble rCund her unneugeo
And WHERE the oricle hung her swayipg nest,
By every light wind like censor swung.
Where sung the noisy martins OF the caves.
The busy swallows, cIrcIing ever near
Forebodi1g, as the rustic mind believes,
An early harvest and pienteous year.
Where every bird that walked the verna
Shook the sweet slumber from its wings at
To warn the reaper of the rosy east,
:. All now was sunless, empty and forlorn.
MI
And eroaked the crow through all The dreary
gloom;
Made echo in the distant cottage loom.
The spiders moved their thin shroud night
The thistle down, the only ghost of flowers,
Sailed slowly by-passing noiseless-ont OF
sight.
Amid all this-in this m ost dreary air,
And where the woodbine shed upon the
Its crimson leaves, as if the year stood there,
Firing the floor with its inverted torch;
Amid all this the centre OF the scene.
Piled the swift wheel. and with her joyless
sat like fate. and watched the flying
thread.
She had known sorrow. He had walked with
OFT supped, and breke Win her tne asnen
crust;
Ard in the dead leaves still she heard the stir
OF his thick mantle, trailing in The dust.
While yet her cheek was bright with Summer
bloon.
Her country summoned and sh e gave her all
And twice war bowed 10 her his sable plume
Re gave the sword 10 rust upon the wall.
Re-gave the sword. but not the hand that drew
A nd struck for liberty the dying blow,
Nor him who, to sire and couptry true,
Fell mid the ranks of the Invading foe.
Long but not loud, the driving wheel went on ,
Like the low murmur of hive at noon;
Long, but not loud, the memory of the gone
Breathed thro' her lips sad nnd tremulous
tune.

Life dropped the distaff thro' her hands

And loving neighbors smoothed her careful
shroud,
While deaih and winter closed the au: u:umn

They who stand in high stations look
for higher; but they who have occupied
the highest of all, often think with
regret of some one pleasanter they left
below. The most wonderful thing in
human natnre is the variance of knowl-
edge and will, where no passion is the
stimulant; whence the system of life is
often chosen and persevered in which
man is well convinced is neither the
best for him nor the easiest. Few can
see clearly where the happiness lies, ,and,
in those who see it, you will scarcely
find one who has the courage to pursue
it. Every action must have its motive;
but weak motives are sufficient for weak
minds; and whenever we see one which
we believe to be a stronger, moved
habitually by what appears inadequate,
we may be certain that there is Ito bring

HINDoo WoMEN.-The HindOo women,
when young, are delicate and beautiful,
as far as We can reconcile beauty with
olive complexion, says the London
Times. They are finely proportioned; ;
their features soft and regular, and their
eyes black and languishing; but the
bloom of beauty soon decays, and age
makes rapid progress before they have
seen 30 years. This may be accounted
for from the heat of the climate and the
customs of the country, as they are
often mothers at 12 years of age. No
women can be more attentive to cleanli-
ness than the Hindoos; they take every
method to render their persons
delicate, soft and attractive; their dress
is peculiarly becoming, consisting of
piece of silk or cotton, tied around the
waist. and hanging in graceful manner
to the feet; it is afterward brought over
the body in negligent folds; under this
they cover the bosom with short waist
coat of satin, but wear no linen. Their
long black hair is adorned with jewels
and wreaths of flowers. Their ears are
bored in many places, and loaded with
pearls, variety of gold chains, strings
OF pearls and precious stones fall from
the neck over the bosom, and the arms
are covered with bracelets from the wrist
to the elbow. They have also gold and
silver chains round their ankles and an
abundance of rings ON their fingers and
toes; among those on the fingers is fre-
quently small mirror. I think the
richer the dress the less becoming it APP
pears, and Hindoo woman of dis
tinctioD always seems to be overloaded
with fnery, while the village nymphs,
with fewer ornaments, but in the same
elegant drapery ARE more captivating al
though there are very few. women, even
of the lowest families, who have not
some jewels at their marriage.
