From All Parts of the Old World. THE AMERICAN ELECTION. Comments of the London Press Upon the Supposed Result. UNIVERSAL SATISFACTION EXPRESSED, A Conference Agreed To by Russia and France. GERMANY'S - NEUTRAL ATTITUDE. Lowpor, Nov. 9, 1876. The presidential election in the United States has become for the time being as important a theme in the opinion of the London journals as the war in the East, if I may judge from the elaborate editorial con- ments which are to be found in all the papers of this morping. The eral sentiment is one of hearty ap- proval and renewed confidence in the integrity of the American people and United States securitios, So far from fearing iturther inflation of the currency, tho press speaks in tho highest terms of Mr. Tilden’s sa- gacity and integrity. 4 SAFE MAX, The Times elaborately reviews the difficulties which Mr, Tilden will have to encounter in consequence ot Yhe copflicting majorities in the Senate and Bouse of Representatives and also because of the claims of the various sections of the democrats for office patronage, The Times con- siders Governor Tilden’s antecedents ‘‘a guarantee ogainst his yielding to the pressure of the Southern democrats in favor of reactionary measures; and, in any event, it 18 more obvioud@hat there is no danger of his assenting to measures of inflation or repudia- tion. He, moreover, is too sagacious to modify his foreign policy for the contentment of Irish demo crats, There is no ground, whether irom a Snancia_ or political point of view, for denying him the conf. dence of Englishmen. Wo are bound to respect the tlearly pronounced will of the American people and we cannot consider {t an unmixed misfortune for tho fepublicans that they are temporarily compelled to breathe tne bracing air of opposition.” CAUSR— “‘MISMANAMEST IN THE SOUTH.” The Daily News this morning discussing the Presi- dential election in the United States, says the result cannot surprise any attentive observer of Ameri- can politics, It cannot cause the roversal of the legislation of tho years immediately tucceeding the war. It is a change Father of men than of measures. The News fears no injury to the American credit, ond regards the pay- ment of the national debt in specic as safe whichever party may be in power. 1t bases its generallf favor- able anticipations in a great measure on the personal antecedents and moderation of Mr, Tilden, who is likely to exercise a restraining inflaenco upon the ex- treme section of tho party. . It docs not, as yet, see any incication that the clection affects the question of protective legislation. Questions relative to the South dave been the deciding forces, the News thinks, sathor than the currency of free trade probtema, DESEKVING OF CONGRATULATION, The Standard also regards Mr. Tilden’s antecedents as furnishing a good guarantee of the honesty and mod- eration of his administration and a security against in- fationism. The Standard congratulates the American on the law-abiding spirit displayed throughout the wountry, and says the result of the election 1s scarcoly a greater cause of congratulation than the fact that so slose a contest for such a great “stake should bavo passed without violence and bloodshed, when riots in a tew places might have turned the scale by intimidat- Ing uoters, i HOW THR POWERS WILL ACT. Intelligence received trom Constantinople an- no:dces that Sir Henry Elliott, the British Ambassa- dor at the Turkish capital, will communicate to the Porte the English proposais relative to the conference. The proposals in question (which were ent in these despatches yesterday) are worded so as to enable either Ru or Turkey to make counter propoeals, The Porte will_not reply until it knows the tenor of the answer of tho great Powers, It is believed that France and Italy will maintain reserve gotil aware of Russto’s views. Austria bas somi- officially announced her intention to await the answers of the other Powers. The Rus: answer will proba, bly not be known until the Czar arrives at St, Poters- burg. La France says that Prince Bismarck bas declared that he cannot sce the utility of Germany's participat- ing in the conference. RUSSIA STILL INTERFERES. “Russia insists,’ sald Le Nord, of Brussels, yester- fay, ‘‘on the early conference of the Powers on tne vasis of tne English proposals. General Ignatieff, the Russian ambassador at Constantinople, has been in- sracted to support energetically a large measure of soministrative autonomy for Bosnia, Herzegovina and Bulgaria, with eMfcactous guarantees under tho control of the Powers. ® A CONFEREROE ACCEPTED. ‘A Vienna special announces that Russia and France have accepted the English proposal for a conferonce. A preliminary conference will meet at Constantinople shortly to arrange a peace procramme which ts to be discussed and settled by a second and mora tormal tonterence. The negoeiations are proceeding tavor- wily. gl has yielded consent to the English proposal that all future action decided by the Conference should respect the territorial integrity of Turkey, This assent was obtained by the friendly but frm atti tude of Englund. Rusria at first objected, because she thought occupation might possibly be necessary. RUSFIAS’S POVERTY. Tho Russian Minister of Finance bas drawn up a re- port on the Finances of the Empire in which ho strongly deprecates wi HOPE FOR THE AMERICAN WHALERS. Prominence 1s given in the Times to-day to a letter signed ‘Arctic’’ and dated Ports- mouth, whien is presumed to be written by a member of Captain Naros’ Polar expedi- tion, Tho writer reviews the reports of the recent disaster to the American whaling fleet in Behrings Sea, and combate the theory that tne seamen who remained on the yessols in the feo must necessarily perish during the winter.

THE DISMEMBERMENT OF TURKEY—A START- LING PIECE OF BECRET HISTORY. [From the Edinburgh Review. ] It we are told that the interests of justice and hu- manity loudly call apon this country to eater into a close, cordial and disinterested ailianco with Russia fur the setsioment of the affairs of the East, our an- swer shortly 1s that we have tried it. That is pre- cisely what Mr. Canning andthe Duke of Wollington attempted to do by the Protocol of ril, 1826. The consequence was a series of wars, the destruction ot the military power of Turkey in Asia as well as io Europe, and the prostratton of Turkey herself under the protection of a Russian fleet and army in the Bos- phorus, Yot the liberation of Greece was a far easier task than thedevulsion trom Turkey of her northern provinces. The Mus-ulman population of Greece was insignificant and couid bo brought out. The Grecks had waxed war, not unsuccessfully, for six years. ‘The Greck nation wax unanimous, The less of Greece was not fatal to the Ottoman Empire. ‘ STARTLING INPORMATION, On the other hand, Russia succeeded in securing for herself great territorial and political advanteges from these transactions, aud at last held Turkey and Con- stantinople itsell almost entirely in ber grasp. If we are not inisinformed, General Ignatieff, whose influence ever tho late Sultan was paramount and who hid a large share in the most improvident an 1 oppressive acts of his reign, had vrought matters to a puint very pearly resembling the alliance of Unkiar-Skeiessi. The terror of the half insane and incapable sovereign had been excited tothe highest pitch by the droad of an outbreak in Constantinople, Russia wag again to pro- tect him; acorps of troops was readv to sail! for the Bosphorus, and the demand for their intervention was either signed or on the point of being staned by the Sultan when the manifestation cf the Softas, speedily followed by the deposition of Abdul Aziz, cut ehort the intrigue. " Tnis 18 a matter of secret history, and we are certaie that thero are circumstances conuccted with the schemes of Genoral Ignatief! and the deposition of the Sultan which have not yct been made public. The fall of that unhappy and misguided sovereign was the death blow to # whole system of policy based upon bis erviency to the Ktuesian ambassador, and nothing ined but for General Ignatieff! to quit ior a time ne of his discowfiture.

A REVIEW OF THE SITUATION. Probable Action of the South Should Hayes Be Elected. President Grant Still Believes in Hayes’ Election. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Wasmtxatox, Nov. 8, 1876. General Sherman spont the evening at the theatre, witnessing Ben Do Bar's performance of Falstaff, and did not get out until nearly ereven o'clock. On his re- turn tothe Ebbits House bis aide-de-eamp, Colonel Bacon, banded him ao copy of the twenty- first edition of the Star, with the returns down to midnight, grasping it eagerly, he made his way aeross the rotunda to the gashght, at the clerk’s desk, whero he flattendea the paper out on the marble counter, and sprawled down over it to absorb the news, revealing in bis posture a most mortal interest in the result on the part of the General-in-Chiof of all the armies of the United states, Being approached upon tho all-absorbing topte of the hour, when, a fow minutes later, be had retired to and was sitting in bis room, lelsuroly ‘smoking, ho said that he could not understand why Hayes bad run 80 far behind in Ohio, Indiana, [lino ind New ‘ork, Ho thought it very strange indeed, and was disap- pointed because he was such a good man and states- man. Tho republicans of New York tn the interior had not done as woll as be expected. It was thought that they would overcome a majority of abont «xty thousand, in the clty, wheaeas they had not counter- balanced it appeared at even forty thousand. It would be very unfortunate if the election of Hay: hould be decided by the vote of one of the smull States like Florida, Oregon, or even South Carolina, in that even if there were as would vo likely dissatisfaction with the action of the Returning boards, or whatever might be the deciding local authoritics, there might be danger of armed resistance, and if not great turbulence in those States, “Suppose for instance,’ said the Genoral of the army, “that thero should be returned a vote of, say 30,000, while he did not believo there were more than 5,000 bond fule, actual voters, and if there were two upposing returning boards there would, no doubt, be telta strong spirit of resistance to the declaration of the electoral vote in favor of Hayos and Wheoefer. The republicans had mado @ great many mistakes, and it was unfortunate that immediutely alter the war a little different poliey had not been adopted in the management of the col- ored vote, and steps had not been taken to jimilate apartof the white vote. In the tormer case somo kine of a mild form of qualification in the voter might have been exacted preparatory to the {ull exercise of the right pf suffrage, and in the latter by a wise course, At Jeaay one-fitth of the white southern vote might bave been propitiated by a policy of generous action. The present condition of aflairs was ono to excite somo solicitade; but no matter whether it terminated in the selection of Hayes or Tildep, as the election bad gone off quietly, and without avy violence or disorder, which was very gratifying, as well as flattering to the wholo Americn people. Any one in either party who would think of resorting to force, or resistance by arms, should be set down as a trattor to his country, He did not think that even if Governor Tilden should become President that the South, though they might insist that they had polled the larger part of the vote tor him, could dictate a line of policy or a course of action which would exclusively pertain tothem. If having a large vote, as he seemed to have, in Indiana, New York aud New Jersey, this were proposed to him, Governor Tildon could say, ‘Now, logk here, you gentlemen must not expect or demand tvo much, I bave been elected also by a large Nortnera vote of ro- publieans and democrats, and you must be satisfied with what you get” He was satisGed that both Governors Hayes and Til- don were men of too great good sense and judgement to listen to any ands which would be likely to create a feeling of bitterness by reason of partiality or favoritism or exelasive consideration of the vote of one section. The army, both officors and men, had behaved splendidly in the South, and had won re- spect and admiration. It was folt that they were there merely to preserve the peace without interfering with the the rightof any one to vote, They would not take sides, but would stand by the regularly constituted authority, as he (General Sher- man) sbould also feel bound to do in the future, In regard to Mr. Tilden, if ho were elected President be would be recognized implicitly in this regard, and in the came respect, as General of ti army, b:s relations toward Mr. Mr. Tilden would be simply to preserve and obey the law. There was some resaon to believe that, under the ctreum- stances, there might be an armed resistance in the South arising out of the elections, but that he hoped that the election would bo so decisive, and iree irom unfair play, cheating, or injustice, as to render this unlikely, and to make the good sense and law-abiding disposition of the whole people to frown it down. This country was tired of excitement and tur- bulence. Every one, North and Soutii, having suffered so much during tbe late anhappy civil war that everybody desired to seo perpetual pence and order. The peoplo of the South, no less than those of the North, deserved great credit in socing that the elections passed off so quietly, aud he rejoiced at this very much. Everything should be done to preserve this good order, and in making the returns a tow irresponsible politicians. here or there, in order to secure the result of the cloction tor their party, no matter which was really successfull, ought not to be permitted to bring about auch a state of affairs as would create any disorder or danger to the public peace, In case there should be any trouble it looked as though the democrats would navo the ad- vantage. Continuing to discourse on the political situation with that honest and manly frankness for which he is noted, General Sberman, while rejecting, as he said, any assumption of statesmansbip or wish to interfero in polities, manifested a profound knowledge of tho whole Southern 51 jon, and spoko advisedly, there- fore, in diseussing its connection with the national election. HAYES ELECTED BY A MAJORITY OF ONE-—THE RETURNING BOARD OF LOUISIANA NOT RE- SPONSIBLE TO THE SENATE OR HOUSE—PRES- IDENT GRANT ‘‘NEYEBR SCARED WORTH A CENT’ ABOUT THE ELECTION OF TILDEN. ‘The excitement in Washington has been intense al! day. The remark is aniversally made that it will be o most extraordinary thing If Hayes, as the republicans fignre it out, has been electea by a majority of one solitary vote in the Eleetoral College, or even if, as some of the democrats aro willing to abate their claims 80 far, & majority of only three for Tilden. The deciding State being Florida, on whose four votes, as the probababilities havo ran moat of the night, tho result of the election appears to turn. The democrats were disposed to hold out for a vie- tory in Loutaiana, but their hopes have been dashed by the pretty general intimation of their opponents that tho Returning Board of that State will care its electoral voto shall be cast for Hayen With this suggestion of foul play the question was raised whether Hayes’ slim ma- Jjortv of one might not provoke a protest and trouble when the votes came to be counted by the Sonatc; but response was mado that It was not within the province of the Senate or the House, so far as tho latter bad any part in the ceremony of counting the voto, to go behind the prima fucie result in Lovist- anna, as certified by the Returning Board, and that whatever returns should be mado by that Board would be suMcient for the Senate, The question of irregularity Jay within the State and was matter for remedy by its people locally. A protest was also regarded as unlikely to be taken for the rea- " federal authorities. The bugaboo ot trouble om ac- | acter is made feminine by the delightful Inconsistency count of Louisiana’s voto has thus been laid. In this connection joy is expressed that Hampton has been elected m South Carolina, at the same time that the State has gone tor Hayes, This result will disprove any charges of intimidation by the military, for it would be paradoxical, if the saying so would not be so ridiculous, that the voters could be restrained of of their cho'ce as to Tilden and allowed a {reo rem as to Hampton, President Grant left the city for Philadelphia early in the day and while the result was still doubttul, but beforo he started Attorney General Tait bad an inter- view with him on the subject of the election, and found him steadfast in his faith that Hayes had been elected. Ho had not wavered a moment from this conviction since he first formed it, To use the Attor- ney Goneral’s words, “The President bas not seemed to scare worth a cent from the start."” Trouble was anticipated in New Orleans, the Demo- erats having demanded under a construction of the code that a certain number of persons, nearly 1,100 of whom they gave a list of, should be appointed by United States Marshal Pitkin as duputy United States marshals. This he refused to do, and they wore im" mediately sworn in by tne Democr: Marshal Pit- kin bad a stormy time about it and asked the Govern- ment for help, when the United States Marines were ordered to report to him. The Attorney General says that ne Insured peace in New Orleans, The Attorney General pow, more than ever, claims credit for the wisdom and salutary benefits of his order in regard to United States marshals, Ho does not hesitate to say that it went a long way toward maintaining quiet in the Southern States. The Presi- dent, he further says, has not for a moment shown any disposition to back down from that order. Troops woud have been sent to Mississippi and Louisiana but they could not be obtained, and other steps wero taken by the government to meet any emergency. President Grant was anxious all last evening and this morning to obtain reliable news in regard to the election returns ond telegraphed to Secretary Ghan- dier but could get no answer, which the Presidcat’s friends thought quite strange; on the other hand, itis said that Secretary Chandler determined not to tele- graph anything until the result was past beyond all doubt. This he did thisevening, to Judge Edmonds, of the National Republica Committeo, claiming New York State for the republicans by nearly 3,000 majority. Tho republicans here ciaim that Hayesand Wheeler are elected by not less than the one vote rolerred to above. MOVEMENTS OF THE PRESIDENT. President Grant leit for Philadelphia on the 1:40 tranyto-day. LITERATURE, THE BOSTON TUPPER'S LAST BOOK—HEMERTON'S COMING NOVEL—TENNYSON'S NEW POEM. Bostoy, Nov. 6, 1876. Boston has one author whose pen apparently never tires, but who has, notwithstanding, been compelled to buy a printing machine to enable him to keep up with the demands of his eager readers, and this person 1s Oliver Optic, whose book, “Living Too Fast,” was published Saturday by Lee & Shepard. Oliver, or ratber Mr, W. T. Adams, usually writes about very smart, good little boys who develop ‘into something very little lower than tho engels, and the habit is so hard to break that, although his hero is a dishonest bank cashier and a dofaulter, he feels it his duty to bestow a large fortune on the youth and to let hin escape the penalty of hiserime. The contemplation of this awfal dispensation of justice witl, in Mr, Adams? opinion, check the extravagance of Amorican youth, especially as he distinctly states that the cashier was not always comfortable in his mind when he thought ot his crime. Nobody but a Boston man would ever have dreamed of such a refined remedy for vathrift- ‘ness, bat the weakness of its moral will not prevent Mr. Adams’ book from being read, as the Inckless public library girls will be able to testify long before night Atthe Athenion Club dinner Saturday night, Mr. Adams was called upon to answer to the toast, “To the improbable and impossible as elements tu the culture of American youth.”? “For opti it needs, I ween, To seo what is not to be scen.”” Mr. Adams defended the apparent extravagances in his books by showing that he always blended them with great undoubted truths, ‘For instance,’’ he said, “{’m writing a story in which the hero goes fishing for white fish in Lake Huron. Now, there isa Lake Hu- ron, and people go fishing in it for white fish. These are great truths, and the fact that nobody ever caught 3,000 pounds of fish from it in one day except my hero, does not detract from their force.” Bosides Mr, ‘Adams’ book, Loe & Sheppard have also brought out ‘Nelly Kinnaird’s Kingdom,” by Amanda. Mr. Donugiass and D. Lothrop & Co. have published a new edition of Ella Farman’s “White Hand,”’ a book which appeared a little too late for the holiday seasun last year, and 1s worthy of a Detter fate than the quiet ignoring which it recoived in consequence. MAMERTOS'S LATEST NOVEL, The novel of the week, however, is Philip Gilbert Hamerton’s “Wenderholme,” reprinted by Roboris Brothers, and greatly abridged from the form in which | it originally appeared. Mr. Hamerton gives the roason for the great size of tho first edition in a passage of the pretace, which will be found curious and interesting by all who like to know the inner history of bookmaking. ol ypened,’’ he says, time before this originally composed that the author had ih one of tl Peculiar condi- novels ui while long Cres, of the same qualisy, safer investment. Having tucurred several loses on short novels, my 11 made his mind ecessive id, the publisher, had up © to have anything more to do witn then, and strongly recommended me if I attempted a work of fiction, to go boldly ito throe volumes at once and not discourage myself by making an oxperiment on a smaller scale, whch would only make failure acertainty, The reader may oasily imagino the effect of such a conversation as this upon an author who, whatever may have been his experi- ence in other departments of literature, had pone at all in the publication of novels. The practica: conse- quence of it was, that when the present story was written, commercial reasons prevailed, as they unbap- pily so often do provail, over artistic reasons, and the bock was made far longer than, as a work of art, it ought to have been. ‘Wenderholine”’ is the history of an old family man- sion In Lancashire, which, in the chances and changes of a few years, 16 inbabited by an English gonticman, by a wealthy cotton spinner, anti thea by the nephew of tho latter and tho daaghter of the former, who marry each other aud live happily forevermore. Mr. Hamerton is a man whom it js only loss unsafe to attack than if he were a popular clergyman, for he bas a large following, every soul of which believes that he is infallibl it 1t 18 Only fair to say that bis novel js not so near perfection as his other books. He says that many of the char. acters have been taken for portraits, and it is a significant fact that nearly all these characters aro unlovable, The truth is that Mr, Hamerton, like nearly all writers who are unaccastomed to novel writing, almout hates his disagrecable perdons before he finishes sheir portraits, and draws thgm so sharply that the reader fancies that personal dislike must have guided his hand, whereas it is simple hatred of an ab- atract feeling. ‘THR CHARACTERS. The best of the personages in the book is Mrs, Og- den, the mother of the wealthy cotton spinner before mentioned. Mr. ifamerton bas a cool, ironical, George Eliot way of writing aboat women, and he makes Mra, Ogden almost as real to the reader as Maggio Tuli ver’s aunts. This is his description of Mrs, Ogden There is a squareness and rigidity in the back chest, which are evidences er of and a resolute character ri visage, too, can never have been pretty, though it must in oar- Ner life have possessed the att: deed, although its early bioo ether loxt, ine vegetable marrow grows, to have been developed b; . thought.

The hair seems rather scanty, and is worn close to the face; it is gray, of that pecu- liar kind which results irom a mixture of very fair bairs with perfectly white ones. We can only seo a little of it, however, on account of tho cap.

There are many admirabie chapters in the book, that which depiets Mr, Isaac Ogdeu’s peculiar way of studying Macaulay being one of the best. There are ‘somo paseages in “*Wendorholme’’ which recall Hamer. ton at his best as an essayist, as for instance the fol- lowing :— Children never live long.

Mr. Tennyson has written to Osgood & Co. that he has anew poom, and they will publish it simultaneously with its appearance in Eng- Jand. Whether it ts long or short, gay or grave, severe or lively, they know not, TUROLOGY AND THE LIKE. The Rev. M. J. Savage's book on tho “Religion of Frolution,”” whieh appeared Wednesday, 1s causing much remark from its boldness and freedom, and one paragraph bas created no sinall excttement in the orthodox camp, which is full of orthodox spirit since the advent of the Rev. Joseph Cook, tho man who means to annihilate Professor Huxley. Says Mr. Savage:—“If I must go to hell with tho noble livers and great thinkers gf the world, then I would choose it rather than the place of court favorite in tho Presence of One who makes evil and torture and ever- lasting prison houses for His own glory."’ Thia is no more than Mill said tn his commentary on Ham- fiton, but Mill was not a Christian minister. However, Mr. Savyage’s own society seems tran- quil, and his boldness roally concerns no one else. Theodore Parker long ago demonstrated the impoteacy of a Unitarian conference to check one of tts members trom speaking his mind. Roberts Brothers published their companion pocket volumes ot selections from the ‘‘Thoughts of Marcus Aurelius An- tonius,” and Thomas a Kempis’ “Imitation of Christ” Saturday. They aro an admirably matched pair, the manly morality of the one vook admirably supplementing tho childlike faith of the other, and tho briof introductions are characterized by a self-respect- ful modesty that is rather French in spirit. CHILDREN'S BOOKS, Miss Ella Farman, the oditor of Wide Awake, has only been established in Boston for a tow weoks, hav- ing previously managed to carry on the magazine by Jetters from her Western home. Already the traces of hor presence are apparent in the conduct of the periodiea! and the increased promptness of its appear- ance. She is one of those energetic women who love eyon the drudgery of their profes- sion, and a visitor is as likely to find her in her composing room as in her office. Next month her magizine will contain a story of Nora Perry’s, entitled, “Saily’s Clam Baxo.” Both Miss Farman and Miss Perry have storics inthe “Two Fortane Soek- ers,’ a volume issued by D. Lothrop & Co., contain- mg stories by Rossitor Johnson, Miss Phelps, Mrs. Moul- ton, Margaret Eytinge and othor wolt known magazino writers. ‘Jonny's Lark,’ Miss Perry’s story, relates the doings of a young kinswoman of bers who attended General McCook’s wedding without an invitation, By the way, Henry Bacon, the artist. has selected her poem “After the Ball’ as tho subject for one of the pictures upon which he will busy himself as coon as ho returns to Paris, The best of allthe children’#@ books, facile princeps is H. H.'s “Bite -of Talk for Young Folks,” | which Roberts Brothers will publish in a few days, Its bits alternate by prose and pootry, do not appear to be arranged in any set order but ‘just as they came,” as the girlasay. The blended sincerity and earnestness that characterize this author are less apparent in thts volume than in its predecessor, ‘‘Bits of Talk About ‘flome Matters,” because when writing for children, sho instinctively softens her manner, but sho is so direct and so true in spirit that her lessons rarely fail to be effectually taught. Among the “Bit in this volume are, ‘Colorado Snow-birds,”” “A Chri mas Tree for Cats,” ‘The Palace of Gondoforus,” “Cheery People,’’ *‘Runna Rig” and “Morning Glory,” allof which aro familiar to the magazine reading youtb, One of the Christmas stories now in press is “Torn and Mended,” by W. M. F, Round of the Inde- pendent, 1%, will be published by D. Lothrop & Co, NRW ESSAYS” James R. Osgood & Co, publish “Sea Shore and Prasric,’’ alittle volume of sketches and essays by Mary P, Thatcher, Longfellow's niece, Tre Rev. John Weiss’ “Wit, Humor and Shakespe: was issued by Roberts Brothers, Saturday, and a@ revelation to those Bostonions who thought that they knew the book becadse they had heard the author doliver lee- tores with the same titles as these cssays. Mr, Weiss, to tell the truth, is one of those men who may delight posterity, but who aro the horror of their printers ana despair of their publishers. So longes @ manuscript s within reach of his pen, so long as he can retain his proofs, ho will correct and Interline and romodel, and much that is in this book has never seen the light before, The volame abounds in touches that are almost as effectivo when isolated from the text as when they formapartof it “We only think,’? ho says, “how delightiully bewildered Polonius will be if his ghost gets out of the body, escaping a politic convocation of worms, in time to help receive the other ghost, and to understand thon, If any wit fs loft over in him, that bis king was mardered and Hamlet ts harping on something beside his daugh- ter.” He wondors that animals are not struck with tho salient differences between them, but supposes that “‘curtosity and aversion exhaust the speculative possibilities of animals in the direction of inventing amusement, It is true,” he goes on, ‘that we occa- sionally hear of happy families like that of the prairie dog, who has an owl! and a rattlesnake to share his housekeepiog#which they de with zest, for they have established a taste for the young of the prairie dog, and they bire his tenement only with an cye to busi- nese.” “1 presume,” he says, “ttat Xantippe felt justified im making the homo of Socrates so un- pleasant that he preferred the market, the forum and the leather dresser’s shop, because sho thought ho neglected her for all these places and wasted time and kept her drudging, while he ran to find men and make their coarse grain revolve to, sharpen his soul's edgo against it. Perhaps, as Soc. rates was famed for falling into brown studies which sometimes insted all day, with contempt for food, it was &,case of chronic absence of mind on the sab- ject of din for that is as vital as To prepon KaiKalon, the ethically proper and the beae- tifally true and no household can dispense with, it—in fact, children ery for it, Perhaps he supped many & time upen the hemlock of her tongue, and be- came so acclimated to the draught that the last cap in prison tasted aweetly.”’ Bi ‘in R. Curtis’ “Doteings ‘Round the Circle” will be published in a few days by Osgood & Co, the heliotype illustrations for whick it has been waiting being now ready. XXW BOOKS FOR THR BLIND, The Howe Memorial volume, which is to be sold for the benefit of “The Howe Memorial Printing Fund’ to publish books for the blind, is now ready. It is a small volume and contains a full account of the me- morial services held in Dr. Howe’s honor last January, aud a brief memoir of the philan- thropist, written by his wife. Mrs, Howe has dono her work with her accustomed delicacy ana good taste, and has apparently put some restraint upon herself to avoid rendering anything that the most eaptious critic might cali undao praisa She sums up Dr. Howe's charactor thas:—In what is said to-day concerning the motherhood of the haman race the social and spiritual aspeets.of this great office aro not wholly oyéflooked.
