LITERATURE. Criticisms of New Foose. 8 AND ITS CONDITIONS—LITERATURR AND lire. By B. P, Whipple, James R. Osgood & Co., Among the foremost of our Ui/erateurs Edwin P. ‘Whipple is the most earnest and unassuming of men, One must dig him out of his shel to find the mich kernel of head and heart that are always true to principies and friends, always generous to brother authors, always just to political adversaries, None but atrue man could have written his fine prose poem on “Jeanne Dore.” None but amaa of con- ‘viction could deliver it so as to draw tears from eyes mot given to much weeping, and we do Ret blame spirituaiists for claiming that whe spirit of this peautiful martyr, ‘the @reatest poct France ever produced,” “the wisest, Puresi, ablest intelligence of her time,’’ to borrow Whipple’s own words—ts be‘ore him while he speaks, ‘Thoroughly imbued with his subject, Whippie makes you feel that a woman, if not France, can fight for an idea, aye, and die for it, as did the Master eigh- feen hundred and seventy-one years ago, This aa- Mirabie man, iecturer and author, once more ap- pears before the public ta two volumes of essays, " ‘written at various periods during the past twenty- five years, and originally contributed to magazine Miterature. The leading idea of the greater part of these essays is that ‘nothing realiy succeeds which 4s not based on reality;"’ au idea fully demonstrated by Whipple himself, whose public is a grow- tng one. Possessing a terse, vigoreus siyle, etiilcal acumen, a richly stored pund and tmiteliectual integrity, Whipple is thoroughly competent to handle any subject he touches. He is alive, and one of the best papers In “Success and lts Vonditions” is that In which he pays just tribute to “Young Men m History.” It is the divine fie of youth’s enilusiasm that illuminates the world, and he ts right in declaring that ‘‘wherever We mark @ great movement of humanity we com- monly detect a young man at iis head or at its hear. * * * And af wicked institations, labori- ously organized by dominant tyranny aud priest- erafi, aud strong with the might not merely of bad passions, but of perverted learning and prostituted logic—if these have been swept away in the world’s advancing movement it has been by the gradual tri- ‘mph of maestructible sentiments of freedom and humanity, kept fresh and bright in the souls of the young.” His “Ethics of Popularity’ are not such as are practiced at Washington; but more’s the pity for our country. «Tell the tratn to the people,’? writes Whipples; “give them fair statements, consecutive reasoning, honest advice; give them wit that is not personality, humor that 1s not buffoonery, eloquence that 1s not rhodomontade, before you assert that they can ap- preciate nothing in argument but fallacies, and nothing in lauguage but balderdash. It can hardly be said that our people disregard refinement, when the most popular orator of the country, the man Who drew the greatest crowds, was Mr. sverett, Who was almost prudish in lis elaborated elegance @nd studied grace. It can hardly be said that any people lack the instincts of conscience and the in- tuitions of reason, while hisiory proves that, in every controversy with their oppressora, they Lave had the right of conscience and the right of reason on their side.” Acknowledging, however, the existence of per- Bonality that 1s not wit, Whipple indulges in no small amount of quiet sarcasm when treating of “The Economy of Invective,” maintaiming tuat “it is of the first importance that a Chair of Invective pe established in all our colleges, filled by a professor who combines practical expertence of the subject with a knowledge of all tne eloquence from Demos- ‘thenese to burke; and perhaps the most appropriate subject on which the stuaents should first air their vocabulary, and the most worthy of such an honor, would be the college itself, its professors, ts govern- mMcnHt and its prescribed course of studies.” Looking at life through clear spectacles, Whipple flenounces the asceticism of Puritanism, preaches the gospel of cheerfulness, insisting that it 1s as dan- gerous to morality as it 1s destructive to cheerful- fess to make virtue the husky and haggard thing it 880 often held up to be; and accordingly, in the formation of harmonious character, great stress is to be iaid on the education of the sense of beauty. The contemplation of beauty in nature, in art, in Uverature, in Guman character, difuses through our being a soothing and subt’e joy, by which the heart’s SnXi0us and aching cares are soitly “smiled away.” Authors, (00, find a champion in this excellent repre- sentgtive of the noblest of all professions, Authors are have Sager human; they senses like the best and worst, hence what wouder that “poverty has been the most fertile sources of Mter- ery crimes. Men of letters have ever displayed the Same strange indisposition to starve, common to Biber descendants of Adam. * * * 4tis asense- tess aud disgraceful contempt forthe power of au- thors which causes much of the perversion of talent ¢ so common in ourday. * * * Jt seems tmpossi- ble for men to realize the importance and influences of authors, as purifiers or poisoners of the public taste and morals, For evil or good they exercise a asi and momentous dominion. But they are not generally men distinguished from other men by su- perior streugth of principle. Lf neglected and de- Spised they teach the lesson that if virtue and truth decline paying wages to talent, falschood and pro- Migacy are not so parsimonious.” When virtue pays the same wages as vice the devil will be obliged to seek his literature in the past. Individualizing as weil as generalizing, Whipple pays Mne tribute to John A. Andrews, Bryant and Wordsworth, while lis two papers on Dickens are the clearest analysis of this marvellous geutus that we have read; and how well Whipple can analyze 4s seen in the following extracts froin his Essay on Genius. enius 1s Nov a single power but a coinbl- nation of great powers. It reasons, but it is not reasoning; it judges, but it is not judgment; it im- Agines, but it is not imagination; it feels deeply and fercely, but it is not passion. It is neither, because Misail, Itis anoiver name for the perfection of human nature, for genius is not a fact but an ideal. It is nothing jess than the possession of all the pow- if er and impulses of humanity, in their greatest pos- sible strength and most harmonious combinations.” ** * “Talent repeats, genius © 23. lent is a cistern, genius @ fountain.

We 2d ideas as well as condensed meats, ter appreciates this mecessity more fully than Whipple, who allows no tributary streams to flow into the broad channel for Iiis thopght, which is amply filled from the fountain source.

Hesperia. By Cora L. V. Tappan. 3871. H. 0. Hougtton & Cr Riverside, Cambridge, Mass, Dedicated to the Future Kepaviuc. A duodecimo Of 235 pages. The theme, in a highly sublimated poctical alie- gory, is the rise, prosperity, abominations, insolence, terrific struggle and bloody downfall of American slavery, and the glorious triumph of Liberty and her giorious reign. The poem, in varlous styles of ver- sification, is divided Into several boo! each of which is dedicated to some one of the great leaders and champions of the emancipation cause. The aathoress is a scholar and a poet, and “Hesperia” abounds in poetry of a high order. In truth, the allegory, with all its fancifal characters of the high Olympus order, and fanciful intricacies of plots and counterplots, has throughout, with the glow of a pervading fem. nine softness, withal something of tie simplicity of phraseology and something of the majesty, strength and kindling enthustasm of the old mas- ters, But the action of this spiritual drama, as we may call it, and its ethereal charatters and the general argument and moral of the story are too high up im ine clouds, we fear, for tis everyday working world. The spiritual seer, Andrew Jackson Davis, and all of his scaool aud of the old sublunated abolition school will, however, fud a world of enjuy- mient in “Hesperia,” or we are very much mistaken. Poems. By Liewelyn G. Thomas. New York: Carle ton & Co. 1871. In the brief and modest preface to this neat lite volume for the parlor table the author s; “These productions are arranged neariy in the order of | their composition, commencing at a period of early youth,” and that they are made public rather to ascertain whether the writer 1s justiied in “more earnest efforts in the future” than ‘with any confl- dence m thetr merits.” Our opinion is that, asa pastime, when he has nothing better to do, the author, in pursuing the delusions of poetry, is justi- fied in persevering. We think he bas enough of the poetic mind vo work out sometuing really beautiful, after @ careful training, like that, for instance, which has resutted in Chureh’s pictures of Daimas- cus and Jerusalem. Tum DESCENT OF MAN AND SELECTIO TO Sex. By Canes Darwin, M Two volumes. Appleton & Co. The speculations of Mr. Darwin, whecher for good or for evil, are commanding the atteution of the reading public throughout tue civilized world. His books are as well kuown here as in England, and there is scarce.y a language spoken oa tne Continent of Europe ito which they have not been translated, His speculations are bold beyond those of any naturalist in this or indeed any age. But ins special knowledge is so complete, he has it 80 much atcommand, and his style is so pure and simple, that while the reader revolts irom many of the author's conclusions, he cannot pat dewn the volume until he has got through it. It is no particular source of pleasure to be told that man is the kinsman of the tiger and of the ape, and that if he stands higher in the scale of animated nature than the tadpole, it is not because ue ig sprung from a higher but because, he is the representative of a more protracted existence and of a larger number of mysterious evolutions, But the story 1s so pleas- antly told that the reader is not offended. There are many things in this book which the reader will not upon the intellectual characteristics of the lower an mals are pecutiarly interesting. Instractive as are these volumes, we do not think that Mr. Darwin has of the less, the less out of the li of nothing.” Je and the little out TER OF AN TIAN KING. J.B.

As the man seemed to be in company with the woman I paid but litte attention to them, being also well wrapped and much occupied with business cogita- uons, Suddenly the young woman got up and hasilly approached me, saying, “Sir, will you please protect me from this man’s insults’?

N, Jordan THE BROOKLYN JAIL PROSPECT, A New Jail to Go Up—Only Six Rundrod Vhousund Dollars Mequired ter the Luxe ury—Where Shall tt Stand, iu the City or eon the Outskirts? At the meeting of the Board of Kings County Supervisors the chairman of the Committee on Jail, the representative of the Ninth ward, Richard New- man, presented plans and specifications for the new jail which is contemplated. The cost of the struc. ture 1s estimated at about six hundred thousand dol- lars. ‘his large amount of money cannot, of course, be voted by the Supervisors this year, as their expenditures, very fortunately, are restricted through recent Wholesome legislation, which cannot fail to have the effect of curtailing the otherwise BOUNDLESS EXTRAVAGANCE of this reckless body politic. The plans presented were appropriately referrea for future action by tie Board. In the meaatime they are being canvassed and discussed, and the most eligible site for the new jail appears to be thus far in dispute, This impor- tant question will, however, be settled before the money required can be ratsed, which can only be done by special provision—ihat is, by placing the $600,009 asked for the purpose in the budget for 1872 The specious plea has been made that certain grounds outlying and adjoining the Kings County Penitentiary, situate on Nos'rand ave- nue, three miles distant from the Brooklyn City Hall, and owned by the county, would be the best position upon which to erect the proposed jail, To this ar- rangement there are very mauy plausible and rea- souadle Objections, promineul amoay waich may ve cited the iuconvenience of such a sile. A jail is but A TEMPORARY PLACE OF CONFINEMENT. Ina city uke New York or Brooklyn, when a person 48 arrested, he ts of course first taken to the station house of the precinct in which the al- leged offence may bave been comunitted, From thence the prisoner 13 taken peiore the nearest magistrate. and if the justive of thy peace be not ready to proceed with the examimiution of tie ac- cused the prisoner 18 comwuitied te jail tem. porarily. Now it may happen that, though a jusuce cannot give the accused a hearing m the morning, in the afiernoon he will be ready to go ou wiih the case, it will, thereiore, be necessary for tae prisoner to be taken @ distance of six miles—three going aad returning—while, as for counsel or {riends of the parties arrested, the annoy. auce and loss of time attendant in travelling from the court to the jail in the suburbs will be very great indeed. It will be half a day's work to go and retura. ECONOMY I$ THE GROUND TAKEN for urging the distant site for this building, as the cost of tue ground will be saved. [It will, in view of the tacts set :orth above, ve an ill-advised measure in that direction, Another reason set iorth by those Who oppose the removal of the jail lo such a@ remote spot ts tuat the county owus the exteusive area of land surrounding the Court House, bounded by #ul- ton, Bocrum and Livingsion streets, wilich Was pur- chased at an oauay of $400,000, This property Is covered at present principally by wooden structures, which are occupied as “yin mills’? and “lager beer’? saioous, Revenily tue judicious (?)

A number of rowidies Who are in the habit of congregating in this locabiy got into an altercation aad were disturbing the peace when officer Kyan stepped in to interfere. A combin. d attack was at once made on him, and having no opportunity to de‘end himself from ine infuriated scoundrels, he was nearly beaten to death, He was badly injured about the head, and his face was so disfigured that he could scarcely be recognized by his friends. Hts assailanis managed to make their escape; but Sergeant O'Brien, of tne Fourth precinct, found one, whose name is Jonn Carbury, at the house of his father, at the corner of ‘Tillary and Navy streets, When taken to the station house he declared that he was not implicated in the assault, He was locked up to await the result of the inyurtes inflicted. A FANCY FISTICUFF IN BOSTON. Boxing Glove Honors te the Irish Ginat O’Balawin. {From the Boston Herald, April 29.) Ned O'Baidwin, the “irish Giant,” was the recipl- ent of a complimentary benefit last evening at the Olympic Theatre, and the lovers of the ‘manly art’? Went thither in large numbers, The entertatainent ‘Was of that misceilaneous character usual at such exhibitions, comprising some good things and many more bad. Had it been pruned of avout half the programme, the audience would have been betier satisfied, though, hrs dl the whole, it was a pretty good show of the kin The bali was started by Mr. John Shea (who with lls brother were the originators of tne afar) an- nouncing a little fellow named Frank Lyons, who gave an acceptable specimen of clog dancing and also appeared several Umes afterward in other acts. Theie were alot of yoiunteers who did jigs, clogs, Songs, bone solos, and some excellent Indian club swinging (the latter being performed by Young McManus and Patrick Daley), but as most If not alt eee ot came cliefy to see sparring. the otier parts of the programme were of secondary con- sideration. ‘fhe first to appear in the “manly” were two little chickens, @ trifle larger than Tom ‘Thumb, wio created much amusement by the professional way iu which they got at each other. Dennis shechan and Lim Howney then amused themselyes by pameling each other's noses, the sport being more enjoyed by the tooker’s on than the fistic gents, unless their head coverings are conper-plaied; with them it was give and take, bor- row and pay, it being rather diiicult to tell who was the best man. Not 80, however, with the next bout, betwoen fon Sharp and a much caller map named They sparced thres rounds, in eaca of harp got im as many as a dozen full blows on Bradiey’s head and face; in fact, the latter ap- peared to have no show whatever, thouga he did imanage bo get in two or three “soggers.” One Of the best, Lf not the best dispiay of the evening Was @ set-to between Tin Hussey and Mike Donovan, which Was @ regular rattler, dispiaying some of the beauties of sparring.

But Mike frequently Lhe g Tin’s favors, as the red spots on his profile Bignitle: Professor Denny ana Jim Coffey showed what the “acience’’ Wasin a friendly spat, though of course the former, being in constant practice, and Coifey entirely out of trim, had the best of it in the two rounds. It was exciting to see Denny get iu a crack and then retire out of harm’s way, put he didn’t always do it without @ parting love pat. “Sailor? MeUarty (no connection of him of the same name now in jail) and Murce.lus Baker tried conclusions in @ coupie of vats, though they didi’s seem io be in condition, and the scratch was rather a tame affair, The great event of the evening was at last an- nounced, which was the final wind-up between the Irish Giant and Jonn Dwyer, who came on trom w York lor the purpose. AS O'Baldwin appeared he was greeted with loud appiause, to which he gracelully acknowledged his tuanks by a bow, and lwen proceeded to put anead upon his opponent.
