LITERATURE. Reviews of New Booka, THe Gates WIDE OPEN; OR, SCENES IN ANOTHER Wortp. By George’ Wood. Boston: Lee & Shepard. This isa queer book. It pretends to give an ac- count of “scenes in another worid,” in which the redeemed from earth take part in the most earthly manner imaginable. Our ideas of the hereafter be- come sadly demoralized after reading this book. Even scriptural teachings are flatly contradicted. ‘The belngs that float ‘in the atmosphere of loveliness and grandeur” and are “arrayed in robes of light” speak and act in so unspiritual @ manner that we are not surprised when they sit down to a substan- tial meal, We must confess’ to some wonder when, after being emphatically told in the Bible tat there are no marriages or giving in marriage in heaven, we find that in this other world of the author's im- agining people make love and marry very much tn the same manner as do we sinful mortals of this terres- trial sphere. That there should be religious differ ences of opinion in the land of Immortality described is altogether consistent with the very material cle- ments which surround the redeemed. Thus we have the tyranny of Rome and of the priesthood roundly abused by pious Episcopalians, and every now and then New England transcendentalism gets a sly nit. Indeed, tt appears tous very much as if the entire book i3 a capital salireon New England transcen- dentalism. If it is not, and if we are to accept Mr. ‘Wood's idea of a future life, by all means let us pray that the hour of earthly death may be as near at hand as possible. A sublime world and a jolly life are romised to us. “Scenes of rarest combinations of juxuriance and loveliness" meet the eye; “cities of vast size,” whose domes “rise like gold and silver- capped clouds;” palaces of all kinds of architecture, birds of paradisiacal plumage that warole notes of which we met geveral. I cannot say a8 much for the smoothness of the track that we have passed over in the last twenty-four hours aa I did of the other end; but it must not be expected that a track. scarcely two months old can be im a perfect condition. The rails are well and securely laid down, the ends being secured with the excexent flat joint adopted on this road, and although the road- bed ts uneven in many places, still the foundation ts secure and there is no danger of the track apreading. At various points gangs of Chinese laborers are at work straightening it up, and before winter sets ia again the road will be in excellent condition and the heaviest train will move with the utmost smooth- ness. Ido not pretend to say anything about the location; for, seated in a car, it is not for me to as- sert whether tho best place for track-laying has been selected. An engineer could not do so: hence tt would be better that I should not. It may answer very well for some newspaper correspondents to give their opinion about railroad building, who ima- gine that curves and grades are entirely unnecessary, and that tracks should only be laid tn straight lines and through tunnels. These writers, whose experience extends only to the ordinary travel of every person, profess te know more than those who make the building of arailroad a specialty; and as letters to journals of standing frequently Influence, in a great measure, public opinion, it would be as well to find out the reliability and knowledge of the faultfinder before pronouncing his assertions worthy of credence. The Central Pacific Railroad may be very crooked—need- lessly so; it may be careiessly constructed, but for my part, with some knowledge and experience in the matter, I can only say that as yet I have not dis- covered it. Beyond examining track and roadbed there ts little to see on this end; the few bridges we pass are, like those on the other sections, substantial and per- manent structures. The want of water is much felt on this division. In some places it is brought fer many miles from the mountains in wooden pipes, and when we are at the end of the track all the water used by those engaged in building the road is brought in tank cars a distance of over forty miles. This want isa a Stewie, aud it Is probabie that the mount springs will have to ae fed that is used in this vicinity for years to come, if not for all time. Thi h eto note in the a pearance of the ave no change to note in the apt scenery and surroundings on this division from what it has been since leaving Truckee. ‘The same plains of sage brush; the same distant ranges of mountains, snow capped; the same stunted growth of willows that border on the Humboldt river are here to be seen, and the only variation from the monotony are the camps of the wood cutters, which are arranged quite tastefully. These men are employed by the company to cut wood in the adjacent mountains, and an im- mense number of teams are employed to haul it to the line of the road; these, when put up for the it, the numerous tents surrounded by a hardy, weather- beaten set of men, and the noise and revelry of the crowd clustered around the numerous camp fires, look exactly like an army halted for the night. These camps were to us the oply garden spots in the great desert; peyond them there was nothin; attract the eye until you came in sight of Salt Lake, near Monument Point, and then the scene is grand. Far as the eye can see is this great aud wonderfal sheet of water. Far of tothe southward and eastward are the peaks of @ snow covered range of mountains, that apparently rise out of the centre of the lake, as if they formed part of an island. The bright n tinge of the water forms a great contrast to the vast alkali flats that extend to its edge, and the rays of the sun on to sparkle upon its surface with unusual bril- ancy. Hereabouts the mountains and hills are kind enough to furnish a stunted growth of pine timber, that seems almost a burlesque upon vegetation. The woodman of the East would pass it by in contempt, but here it isa prize eagerly sought for, and it 1s rapidly disappearing to furnish the great quantity needed by the ratlroad company, It will take but @ few years to exhaust it, and then where will the fuel come from that will satisfy so great a demand? Echo answers, where Among these hills some ante- lope and aeer are found, and on the marsh that skuts the northern portion of the lake, and else- where, I suppose, large numbers of plover abound, that giadden the heart of the ambitious sportsman, TRACK LAYING. ‘To-day the Central Pacific Raliroad Company's em- ployés accomplished the greatest feat in track laying ever known in the history of railroading. The an- paralleted amount of ten miles aad fifty fect of track were laid between four o’ciock in the morning and five o'clock in th fternoon. Eve Traugement had been made days before; the tron and ties were ali sent forward, and the work was to have been done yesterday; but an engine got off the track, which made a delay that could not be got over. To- day, however, nothing prevented. Every one was entliusiastic; the president and superintendent wera on the ground; a!l the press of San Francisco waa represented, and, of course, the New York HBRALD was there. Some of the Union Pacific Ratlroad Com- pany’s people were there, and they did not think it could be done. Bets were made, and the excitement ran high. The men themselves were in high spirita, and it was evident they intended to do their best. 7! nization of the working gangs was very per- fect ere was no confusion; every one did his work and didn’t get in anybody else’s way. Even the engines used to push forward the cars with tron behaved very well and did not leave the ralis, All went smooth as glass, and by eleven o'clock it was sare. thing. By five o’ciock the agony was over; the last rail had been spiked down, and ail those connected with the company were in high glee. ‘Those of the other company lett, satisfed that the thing had been done and well done, and that the post time ever made by the Union Pacliic gangs had been fairly beaten. For a long time past great rivalry has existed be- tween the two companies as to who could lay the greatest amount Of track in twenty-four hours, and up to tis time the Union Pacific people were ahead; but “Ohariie Crocker,” as the superintendent of the road is familiarly called, determined it should not remain so, He bided his time and organized his men for a big day, and, witn his usuai energy and perseverance, accomplished it, as I have de- scribed. By dark all were back from the extreme front, and then it was that congratulations and handshakt 4 champagne drinking took place.

There, where there is no sin; there, where we are attired m “robes of light” (not the Georgia major’s costume, it ia to be hoped); there, where we have aristocratic board and lodging for ourselves and our families free of all charge—there, we repeat, let us all prepare to float to upon wings of right- eousness and love. But, seriously, Mr. Wood's book is worth reading, if only for the sake of the curious idea of another world as conveyed therein. The author appears to be well read in ail the written speculations of the hereafter. He is, tt must be confessed, sadly infe- rior to Milton, to Dante, and even to the late Arch- bishop Whately; but he is quite original and enter- taining. IMPRESSIONS OF SPAIN. By Lady Herbert, With fifteen tiustrations. New York: ‘fhe Catholic Publication Soclety. ‘This 13 a very interesting book in tts way. It gives acharming picture of Spain, and its account and description of the religious edifices are well and graphically written. It is, of course, strongly Catholic in sentiment; but aside from this feature, which may be objectionable to many people, itis a book worth reading. The authoress particularly ad- mired the people ay they were when sue visited the kingdom, and her impressions were, on the whole, very fivorable. She does not think it will benefit the Spaniards to jom in “the so- called march of civilization,” believing that “all that is beautiful, simple and characteristic of this peo- ple’? will be destroyed if they do. We have no doubt that by Catholics in particular and the reading public generally “Impressions of Spain’ will be widely read. It is a timely publication, fpain being of special interest at the present time, and loses little by being written by an aristocratic Englishwoman, posse: of an intense faith in Ca- tholicism. Jesus ON THe Horny Mount. By Joseph Sander- be D.D. New York: The American Tract So- ciety. To the members of that influential and respectable Christian Church which the American Tract Society represents “Jesus on the Holy Mount” will doubt- less be very welcome, Dr. Sanderson writes with much vigor and originality of thought, and ap- ot to have thoroughly studied his subject, which treats in an exhaustive and entertaining mann We have but one fault to find with the book, and it lies in @ proneness to indulge in italics. This, however, is but inall matter and is scarcely deserving of notice ere the work, as @ whole, is 80 good and So littie open to adverse criti. clam. The story of “Our Saviour on the Holy Mount” is very fom opened aud minutely told, while many re- ligious ideas and reflections springing therefrom add to the merits of the narration. Tar Wnts Ross. A Novel. By G.J. Whyte Mel- ville. Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott & Co. If we needed a book of sufficient interest to while away an idle hour, without leaving an impression upon the mind, we could scarcely find another bet- ter adapted to that purpose than the “White Rose. * It ts a novel of admirable conception, and is written in a very interesting style; but the plot and the characters are badly managed. Fannie Ainslie is a modified Lady Isabel, without the ladylike behavior and accomplishments of that creation of Miss Brad- don. That she should have married Gerard Ainslie 1s not unnatural, but the manner in which the mar- riage 18 made to take I eo ig wretchedly unartistic, ‘The book ts too full of sensational surprises. None of the characters are possessed of more than neg- ative qualities. Still, badly told as it is, it interesting.

An Arkansas novel—or a novel written and pub- lished in Arkansas—has found its way to our desk, Its titie, “The Bloody Junto, or the Escape of John Wilkes Bouth,” is so terribly suggestive of bowie knives, Arkansas toothpicks and “Sic semper tyran- nis,” that we shouldi’t wonder if its contents are strong enough to make the “har riz,’’ to adopt an Arkansian saying. What those contents are we haven't the remotest idea, being too terrified to open the book. We would suggest to the publishers—and it would not be a bad idea to extend the suggestion to all Western and Southwestern provincial publish- ers—the policy of changing the titles of their works be- fore sending them to this section of the Union. Such sanguinary names as “The Bloody Junto” have a de- moralizing effect upon Eastern nerves. It 1s so long since we have given up the praciice of playful “cutting out a feller’s heart,” or scalping the “red- hided cusses,”’ that some consideration is due to our present retrogressive condition.
