~ selves against \theg, fe was LITERATURE. Uxngx tHe Nortueax Licata. By J. A. MacGahan. ‘Author of “Campaigning on the Oxus’’ and the “Fali of Kbiva.” Londom: Sampson Low, Bearsion, Searle & Rivington, 1876, This isachrouicle of the voyage of the PanJora. Books which deal with the popular and sentimental as- pects of travel and adventure have not often chosen the Arctic regions for their scene, Many volumes bave dealt with the man theme of Arctic exploration, | but their interest has been mostly for the geographer, or for those who contemplated voyages toward the Pole as worthy attention only in so far as they prom- ised to solve scientific problems, Voyages within the Arctic circle that touched other ground than this touched upon the tragic. Indeed, many records of Arctic travel have a deep and intense interest in virtue of their heartrending Mories of human heroism and devotion, wasting them- barriers of an icy world as the spray of a summer shower might waste itself against Gibral- tar, Mr. Nobl “After Icebergs With a Painter’ was a brilliant, felicitous, delightiul record of an art trip into the frozen regions, bat the volume before us 18 the first book made as the record of a real Polar voyage that has caught the happier side of the subject, and has extracted ‘sweetness and light,” amusement, entertain- meut for idle hours—a thoroughly readable and agree- able story from scenes in the suilor’s life that to ordi- Bary thought are an unchanging waste of areariness ‘gud desolation. In theso few happy senteaces is neatly stated the @bject of the voyage, the ship that made it and the @ompany in the cabin: We ure gomg to try to make the Northwest Passage; to pase arounu the porth coast of America, and como Out through Bebring’s Straits into the Pacitic Ocean—a feat which has been tho dream of pavigators for cen- turies, but only adream. Our object is to make this dream a reality. 1t is our ambition not only to accom- plish the undertaking, but to accomplish it ina single season, For a Northwest Passage that would require more than one sevson would obviously be of no prac- tical use to navigation, To take a vessel from South- ‘ampton to San Francisco ina single summer by way of Behring’s straits—thatis the grand feat which any irue seaman woud give his right hand to accomplish, and that is what we are gomz to attempt. Let it be un- derstood that we are not going to discover the North- west Passage. That bas already been dono by Sir John Franklin, although he never got home to make his dis- covery known to the world. THE SHIP. She isa bark. Her longth is 150 feet, her breadth of beam 20; her tonnage (navy register) 438; her engines, thongh nominally 80-horse power, will work up to 200, and sho draws, loaded down as she was when sho left Portsmouth, 12 teet of water. Although built tor & gunboat—and therefore much stronger than an ordinary merchantman—ber strength hud to be materially tnereased to prepare ber for work in the ice. Heavy iron beams and knees were put in amidships to increase her resisting power to a squeeze or “nip,” her bull was enveloped in wn outer casing ot American elin, 4'5 inches thick, to strengthen her sides for rubs against the tee. In addition to this her Stem Was covered with a solid plate of iron, and her prow, trem the stem back over the swell of the waist, was laced with heavy iron cleats or bars. These changes, while injuring ber sailing qualities somewhat, will cnuble her to work her way with impunity amoug lee Where an ordinary ship would be crushed like an bugshell. TUR COMPANY. And now, as it was the hour for tea, we all gathered eround the table for the firat time. Like the brothers Aud sisters of Wordswortu’s little cottage girl, we were teven, First there was our Captain, Allen Young, who took his pluco among Arctic explorers sixteen years when in }} 9 he Was navigating officer in the onder McClintock. Fascinatea—as everybody weo has once seen them seems to be fascinated—by Arctic skies, be ventares to meet the perils of an ‘Arctic journey in command of a ship of his own. Toe secoud in command was Livutenant Lillingston, @ subscriber to the expenses of the expedition; d the third was Lieutenant George Pirie, a distinguished young. naval officer, whom tho Admiralty kindly permitted to accompany us as our navigating ofticer, Next was Lieutenant Beynen, ot the Duteh Royal Navy, whom we called “Tromp,” after the old Jutch Admiral who once sailed up the Thames with a broom at his masthead, as a sign and token unto all the work that he meant to sweep it cienn. He was tresh (rom the assault on the Kratung iu Atchin, and was sent out by bis government to re- porton the expedition and gain experience in Artic Huvigation, probably to resume the thread of Arctic exploration where 1t was dropped by Barents, the old Dutch navigator, 300 years agu. Then there was Dr. Horner, a young’ physician, who bad the direction of the natural btstory and geological department, and one artist, Mr. De Wiide, tho tirst professional artist except- ing Mr. Bradford who ever visited the Polar regions, The voyage of the company thus embarked in this Iitue ship is recounted im just sufficient detail, and in a style and spirit that make the story as pleasant read- ingasaromance. Here is a happy bit of geograppical Bcienco that presents a case in. illustration of the theory of glaciers :— GREENLAND. The whole of this great continent is, in reality, Bothing but one immense, deep giacier, with a fringe ‘of mountainsaround it, forming the coast line. This glacier has never been Spins, never been crossed, aod probably never will be; ior yawning gaps and tissures, many hundred feet in dopth, traverse i every direction, and intercept forever the travel- rs Way. The interior of this great coutinent is an icy solitude that is a secret unknown to man, and it will probably always remain so. Its surface 18 4,000 fect above the and when you ascend to it you will probably per- ceive somewhere on the plain which rises before you in ashght ascent till it touches the sky two or threo little sharp conical hills, atew feet high, that pierce through the ice; and you will astonished to learn that these insicniticant mote-hilis are in reality the tops of lofty mountains, that have been submerged be- eath the mighty inundation of ice. Somebody has said of Switzerland that if it wore froned out it would be a very large country. If Swit- gerlund were about ten thousand times: np a than 1t ts, and ice were then poured into it antil it should be full up nearly to a level with the hizhest mountain poaks, jt would present just the appearance of the interior of Greenland, And yet the whole of this vast continent was, at one period of the carth’s iistory, green and fertile, There have been found here forests of carbonized trees and piants and the fossil remains of animals that coald only bi existed in a warm climate. Fossil corals and sponges are often picked up now im Lancaster Sound and on the shore of Beachy Island, One of the incidents of every Arctic voyage—the Esquimau people—greatly neglected by previous travel- Jers, is fully and admirably dealt with in this volume. Indeed, some of its pleasantest chapters are these that touch upon the marine flirtation with the Esquimau girls. That there is an Eequimau mind and heart may be geen by an extract we give from the author’s account of Esquimau literature, or rather Eequimau folk lore:— AN EsQUIMAU STORY. There was once A womun who had a son and a daughter, As the son grew up he became a hunter, and one day he killed a thong seal, from the skin of which he proposed to cut some thongs. But the mother ‘wanted the skin for some other purpose, and she and the boy quarreiled about it. ‘Then bboy ‘went and pronounced a charm on tho soal- skin, and when he went to cut it yan ofa thong flew up, struck his eyes and made him blind. ‘The winter came on, they wore destitute of seal meat, and had to live entirely on mussels, for the blind hunter could go hunting no more, But one day a bear at the window and be- gan to eat away at the window pane, which was mado of skin, The mother and daughter fled to ihe other side of the house, but the stripling asked for his bow. His sister gave it to him; he bent jt, asked her te tako him and then he shot and kilied the animal, The mother “Pnou bast missed.” But the sister ‘whispered, “Thou hast killed the bear.” had now ly? of meat, but the mother Fefused to give the any, pretending that as he had pot killed the bear there was none, ce, him mussels. But the sister gave him his share of the bear Beat in secret. Finally in the a flock of wiki geese restored the pes sight and he resumed his hunting occupations, le, with his sister, usd to go out on the cdgo of tho ice, wher@ the seals and white whales (a Kind of doiphin) were seen, and he would kill them with his harpoon. He had no hunting bladder, but he used totic the harpoon line round his sister’ ‘waist instead, and when the animal was struck they ‘would drag it up on the ice by means of the line. One day he asked his sister, ‘Dost thou like our e She made no answer, but upon his repeating the she ied :— “Then to-morrow,”’ he replied, “she shall serve us the ment day he. sccording! poses to his mothe: nex! a ly proy r that she nhould help in the bunt, and to this she con- sents without the siighiest suspicion.

But they are not dead. Their death would not carry out the Eskim and the poet has added one more act to the tragedy in whieh there is a grandeur of conception not unworthy ef Shakespeare himself. The event recorded in this act takes place a long time afterward; nobody knows how long. It may be a bundred years, for all, even the children who knew the matricides, have grown old and died. The tradi- tien of the crime is almost forgotten. The sceno is Ind in the interior of the house of the ingakok, or pricet-magician. It is pight—a winter night in the Arctic, with an Arctic moon throwing its glamor over the plains and mountains of ice and snow. Inside the house the priest- magician 1s performing a conjuration, and the people are gathered around, silent and trembling, listening to huemuttered incantations. Suddenly they hear a cry outside, and the angakok says, “Something evil is approaching.” ‘hey go to the door ana look out, There they be- hold a gigantic hunter a \\ttlo distance away, standing in the moonlight, His hair 1s white as the snow on which he stands, and it hangs down over his shoulders in Jong, silvery locks. . But bis face is black as night. They watch bim for a moment, and he gazes at them with burning, flery eyos. Then the angakok comes forward and asks the stran- ger who he is and what he wants, The other replics:— “Do you not know me?” They answer in the negative, ‘Then he asks:— “Do you remember the son who used his mother for @ hunting bladder?” Avery old woman then remembers hearing her mother talk about tho crime when she was a very hittle child. The hunter replies:— “I am that man, and I still live.” Then be telis them something of the life he and his sister have lived since that time; says they are still suffering all tho tortures of remorse as on the day of their flight; that he has been driven by some mysterious power to come and denounce bim- self to the people, that the crime may not be forgotten aud—fearful retribution—during all this lite of threo generations, day and night, the voice of their mur- dered mother has been always ringing in their ears— “Oh, my son! it was that suckled thee, it was I that suckied thee!” Then he disappears, and is nevor heard of more, BrocRapnican ANNALS OF THR CrviL GOVERNMENT OF tue Usirxo States Durie Irs First Cxantury. This is the title of a work just published in Wasbing- ton, by Charles Lanman, whose “Dictionary of Con- gress” and “Private Life of Daniel Webster” entitle him to more than ordinary consideration as an author and as a compiler of biographical informa: tion, The work now offered to the public will provo most useful as a book of reference. The bio- graphical sketches contained in Mr, Lawrence’s now work number about 7,000 names, and theso, to- gether with a series of tabular records and papers of an historical character, place at the disposal of the in- quirer a mine of information from which data for 16,000 personal references relating to Senators, Con- gressmen, Cabinet and Diplomatic Ministers, Justices of the Supreme and Federal Courts, &c., &¢., can bo obtained, LITERARY CHIT CHAT. Mr. Edward Jenkins, M. P., satirizes in his latest pamphlet the Quoen’s assumption of the title of Em- press of India and calls it “The Blot on the Queen's Head.” Tho London Hour newspaper was lately sued by a former M. P. named Lancaster for a series of libels on him, published under the head of Financial Notes. An ample apology was mado and a verdict of £100 was agreed to as a compromise. The London Publishers’ Circular says that the penny- dreadful style of literature, like “Tyburn Dick” and “Claude Duval,” cannot be supplanted by any amount of “goody” religious books. It is no use for reverend gentlemen to write down to the people. The twaddle cf the D. D.’s is only relished by old ladies, and the truco way to crowd out the depressed literature is to fill its place with something thrilling or fascinating, where the moral purposo is hidden under tho interest of the story or description. ‘ “3ketches of the Wild Flowers of North America,” Mustrated by the botanical artist, Mr. Isaac Sprague, will soon appear from Houghton’s press. The second volume of the new edition of “Pepys’ Diary” abounds in those piquant revelations of charac- ter, the writer's confession, peccadillocs and soliloquies, his little hypocrisies and tongue combats with his wife, which characterized the preceding volume. More posthumous wordings of the critic Sainte-Beuve, under the titlo of ‘Les Cahiors,”’ are issued, consisting of bis most intimate notes on people he knew and on all sorts of literary, political and moral subjects. They are said to abound In piquancy malice. M. Rénan has an exceedingly interesting article in the ‘Revue des Deux Mondes of March 15 on his own carly religious impressions. Tho Athenaum pronounces ‘‘Frost’s Life of Thomas Lord Lyttelton, known as the wicked Lord Lyitelton, to be not worth the publishing.” The Athencum informs us that Miss Braddon, the prolific novelist, intends making a tour in the United States and giving public readings “Eckstein’s Visit to the Cells,” translated from the German, in which it has passed through filteen edi- tions, ia a humorous tale of schoolboy life, full of genuine fun. Macmillan & Co, have just ready Mr. Todhunter’s ‘work on the late Dr. Whewell, so cminent in the scien- tile world. The London magazine Belgravia, Intéthe property of Miss Braddon’s husband, bas been purchased by Messrs, Chatto & Windus at the price of £12,000, Dr. Jobn Brown, of Edinburgh, whose humorous sketches “Marjorio Fleming” and “Rab and His Friends’’ have made him better known than his more elaborate writings, has been honored with a pension of $500 a year by the British government. The Spectator,in a fine article on Lord Macaulay's memory, says that the lato historian had an almost miraculous gift of remembering words as a picture without intelicctual effort. It was through his eyes that his memory worked must powerfully, and it was closely connected with nis great faculty of vivid generalization. The whole past, as written down in books, seemed to live m his memory lixe a series of Castles or a Moving panorama. The best English book on botany is now the transia- tion of Julius Sach’s “Text Book of Botany,” written in a clear, vigorous and fascinating styie, ‘The Catholic Publication Society has in press a large Dumber of new works, including Dr. A.

It says that the wonders of Italy have taken Mr. Miller atterly captive, and when Rome is reached the fall intoxication comes upon him, Cassel, Petter & Galpin, the London publishers of Mustrated works, have gone into the manufacture of United States history. They have issued a first volame in quarto, written bya My. Ollier, and profusely illus- trated, which the Academy says is a carefally written and, on the whole, trastworthy history. Mr. A. R.

EXHIBITION AT LEAVITT'S OF THE PRIVATE COLLECTION OF PAINTINGS BELONGING TO J. STRICKER JENKINS. t k Tho opening of the private gallery of Colonel J. Stricker Jenkins, of Baltimore, and offering the entiro collection at public sale has caused nearly as much ¢x- citement among connoisseurs as the salo of the Blod- gett pictures. The protracted illness of Colonel Jenkins has caused him to resign his commission as an officer of the Fifth Maryland regimens and) necessitates a con- tinued residence abroad for the purpose of recovering his health. A private view of the pictures and a cham- | pagne supper was given at the Leavitt Art Rooms on Saturday evening, at which many prominent art con- noisseurs, artists and journalists were present. Tho Pictures in the collection are all first class, and aro Mostly of figures, comprising allegorical, historical and genre subjects. They are generally small can- vases, containing one or more figures, no- ticeable for purity of ideas in subject, and excellence in technique. The names-of the art- ists are woll known, and some of these paintings are their best works, They are nearly ali pictures which have been painted to order, and many of them were painted with the promise of the artist that there should ‘bo no duplicates made. The Bouguerreau ia one of these; “Art and Literature” is the title, There are two life size female figures, the one representing Literature standing, with lyre in one hand and an open roll of manuscript in the other Art is seated beside her, holding a sketehing block and porte-crayon con- taining chaik and charcoal, and with a set paletto and smail bronze statuette on the ground, The figures are clad in the classic draperies of ancient Greece and are surrounded by the columns of an ancient temple The coloring of tho artist is seen at its best in painting flesh, and the delicate tints of these Agures contam some of the loycliest qualitios of his manner of paint- ing. Im the figure representing Art the right arm and band ure bured from the shoulder, } and it 18 one of tho best pieces of paint- ing in tho picture; the subtle _model- ling of the undalating forms and delicate gradations of color in its local variations, and where it passes into shadow, are exquisitely rendered. ‘fhe Chateau | Invaded,” by Escosura, represents a party of Round- heads who have taken possession of the chateau of one | of the adherenta of Charles L, and are holding a revel tm one of the family apartments, —_1t is one of the best works of this artist and contains a number of dgures full of individuality and expression. “The Proclama- tion,” by Delort, is the most important work by him in this country.” The tune is 1 the Bifteenth century, and two heruids stand in thoir gay costumes blowing trumpets on cach side of the reader of the prociama- tion, A crowd bas gathered around, and in the door. way of one of the shops stands the proprietor in an at~ titude which expresses resistance of the mandates to which he listens, ‘fhe Deience of the Castle” is another work by the same artist, containmug three figures, and noticegvlo for the same skiliul technique | and truth both in the tigures aud accessories, “Come In Out of the Rain,” by Vibert, ts larger than usual, and represents an italian street on a rainy day, with a jolly looking monk holding an open umbrella toward a gayly dressed young peasant woman. By Plassen thero 28 ap interior, containing many tigures, calied “Reading Don Quixoje ;" and vy Pecrus 18 one of sunilar size aud style, representing ‘‘Sancha Panza Kelating His Ad- ventures.”’ “The Quarrel,’ by Kaemmerer, was in the Salon of 1873, . It represents a scene whero two indi- viduals have, from tue appearance of the broken fur- niture, had quite a decided disagreemout, One of tho disputants i# just leaving the garden and the other has Deen taken possession of by two young women, The costumes of tho figures are those of the first Empire and add to the grotesqueness ot the scene, By Castres there are two pictures. One represents a Japanese lady at her wilot, one of the attendants being in the agt of touching ber hips with color, The other 18 a smalier work, with two figures, called “The Gallant,” “The Mouse Trap,” by Murtinetu, represents a group of young ladies, im pretty modern costumes, three of whom have jumped upon a soft, while a fourth has partly hidden hersoif behind a curtain. One of those on the sola bas a cane in her band, with which sne is avout to lift the trap and free the mouse for the benefit of puss, who is Crouching near, ready to spring. AMeissonnior fils is Tepresentea by a work containing a single tigure of a cavalier bowing with the utmost grace; ‘Bon Jour’ 4s the title, One of Zam: works, which, singe the deuth of the artist, are pri more highly than those of any artist painting in the same style, is here, Jt is a single small figure, and is called Tho Guitar.”” By Feraltu there 18 a “Spanish Bric-’ Brac Shop,” with the owner expatiating on the merits of portrait to a prospective parchaser, Near them is gentieman advancing with a lady on his arm. His at- ‘Tention 18 attracted toward the display of objecis of virtu, and she takes advantage of it to flirt with o jt galiant who is passing. “Romeo and‘Juliet,” by jalabert, isa prcture iuil of tenderness, and shows tho mastery of the artist in expressing hb knowledge of the workings of the human heart, It 1 not merely a sentimental posing of two figures, but is full of teasing, ‘with nu exaggeration or violent action to disturb 36 } quiet strength, By Berno-Bellecuur 1s a si | comical and expressive in the highest old priest is seated in the monastery court- yard, with a brass kettle containim, hi daily repast before him, The expression of Picted on his face ag he tastes is and finds it Is excellent, arned?” “Looking for Trath,’? by Compte-Calix, is a Itie size, halt length igure of a young girl looking down awell “The Love Lotwer” is a smulier work by | the sume artist. ‘The Blue Bird,” a picture about the same size as “Looking for Truth,” represents a young girl boiding a bird, by Piet. “Please Buy My Bou- quets’’ is one of Meyer von Bremen’s pretty chil tures. ‘Feeding the Doves” is by Hamon. “Ti ‘two Friends,” representing a doctor and his gouty patient taking leave of each other, is by Da- | vid Col. ““Commg to tho Point? 16 a litte jcture ‘with a prettily told subjéct, alxo. by mn. By Schreyer there are two—-Tho Retreat ot the Standard Bearer,” an Arab on a white borso | dashing out from among the shrubbery, and ‘The | | Trooper in a Snow Storm,” The feeling of movement in | the snow sweeping over the backs of the horse and rider in this small picture is finely rendered.

[From the London Times, April 10.} The dispersion of the fine collection belonging to the M. Schneider, of Parts, formerly President of the Corps Législatif, at the auction rooma of the Hotel | Prout, on Thursday and Friday last, was an event in | art world which created the greatest interest both | in Paris and London. Since the sales of the collections of M, Patureau, M. Delessert, Prince Demidoff anti the | Comte de Pommorsfelden, thore has been none of ench | fmportance. Although the gallery of M. Schneider | Contained only fifty-two pictures, they wero nearly all of first rate excellence, and such asa wealthy amateur | of rather severe tasto aud jealous of the intrinsic valuo | | of his treasures would solect. Most of the pictures had a well anthenticated pedigree, and it is mteresting to | observe tnat several have passed through English gal- | leries, amobg which we find mentionoa those of a Lord | | Granville, Mr, Edvard Gray, of Harringhay; Mr. Daw- son Turner, Mr, Solly and Sir Simon Clarke, &c. In | formation of the collection M. Schneider, who was the owner and the original promoter of the large iron works of Crenzot, in France, took care to obtain tho | advico of one of the most experienced dealers, though he whald always insist that the picture must posress | the charm, as he expressed it, of ‘‘amabilité.”” | THK COLLECTION may be considered as one of Dutch and Flemish masters, for it contained only one by a French painter— “The Head of a Young Girl," by Grouze, which sold for | 53,0001.; one by Murillo, “Tho Immaculate Virgin,” | and three portraits by Velasquez, Even the drawings | and aquarelles, of which there wore forty-seven, were all by masters of the old German and Dutch schools. | The four tapestries representing the “Elements,” of the time of Louis XIV., were withdrawn trom the sale.
