THE FIELD OF LITERATURE. Recent Publication*. The book trade has hardly felt the impulse of the better demand that usually comes in the autumn. There has not been enough cold weather yet Like the nuts in the forest books need a pood frost to bring them down and to make demand for them. A few blustery days and stormy nights would impress imprisoned humanity with the necessity of recreation, and the thoughts, so long busy with crops and the fall trade, would instinctively turn to literature for diversion and entertainment The movement in answer to this annual demand has not yet begun, though a few premonitory symptoms are apparent G. P. Putnam’s Sons have issued the first two of a series of what promises to be a very entertaining and practical course of art study, intended for the guidance of beginners and amateurs. The two numbers at band treat on sketching from nature, sketching in water-colors, landscape painting and flower painting, and drawing in black and white, figure drawing, water-color drawing and the human figure. The two are illustrated, and give all needed directions in a very comprehensive and satisfactory way. (Price, $1.25 each. Sold by The Bowen-Merrill Company.) The Chautauqua Press, anew publishing enterprise, No. 117 Franklin street, Boston, has issued what it terms “The Garnet Series,” four books bound in garnet cloth, printed by Rand, Avery & Cos. The evident purpose of the publishers is to provide for the friends and patrons of Chautauqua University a class of books affording the best literature, and, in style, acceptable to the general public. “The Garnet Series” makes a fine impression in the four books before us: Readings from Ruskin and Macaulay, with introductions by Prof. Henry A. Beers, of Yale, and Donald G. Mitchell; “Lucy Crane’s Art”, and the “Formation of Taste,” an excellent collection of lectures on the “Fine Arts, Decoration, Dress and Needlework,” and Mr. Charles Christopher Black’s “Life of Michael Angelo.” Young readers fond of books of adventure will enjoy “Two Years in the Jungle,” by William T. Hornaday. It is richly embellished with cuts and maps, and contains 500 octavo pages. It presents some interesting studies in anthro pology, while the stirring incidents that relieve the narrative will captivate minds thatcare little for the study of the habits and characteristics of the people of India, where the travels related were taken. The bock is published by Charles Scribner’s Sons. Roberts Brothers. Boston, have begun the republication[of some of Balzac’s works, and have now issued his graphic story of life in Pans, entitled Pere Goriot. The book is put forth in beautiful form, suitable for library or the table. <JThe Bowen-Merrill Company, Indianapolis. Price, $1.50. In the way of books for boys, Harper & Bros, have just issued a beautiful illustrated volume entitled “The Boy’s Book of Battle Lyrics.” The verse—for it is all in verse save introductory paragraphs to each poem—is the work of one man, Thomas Dunn English, M. D., LL. D. They relate wholly to events connected with the wars of 1812 and of the Revolution, and possess the rhythm and ring that they should in treating Os battle, victory and rout. The book is handsomely illustrated and beautifully bound. (The Bowen-Merrill Company, Indianapolis.) Thomas Y. Crowell & Cos., New York, have issued two fine volumes on that prolific subject, “Her Majesty’s Tower” (meaning the Tower of London), by Hepworth Dixon. Both volumes are illustrated with views of this noted fortress, scenes in its various cells, and portraits of noted men and women connected with it in history. The price, SJ. 50, is very cheap for them. Julian Hawthorne’s new novel, “Love; or a Name,” is issued by Ticknor & Cos., Boston, and is on sale by Yobn Brothers, Indianapolis.

New Books. “The Public Writings and Speeches of Samuel J. Tilden.” In many respects, Samuel J. Tilden has been A remarkable man. His prominence in national politics during the last past ten years, by reason of his hold upon the Democratic party and his attempted capture of the presidency in 1877, has given him a transitory importance above his fellows, and made him, for the time being, a national character. His biographer, eulogist, intimate friend and legal adviser, Mr. John Bigelow, has, with the consent and assistance of Mr. Tilden, prepared two large octavo volumes, published by Harper & Brothers, containing, as the title indicates, the leading letters and speeches of the man whoso fame they would perpetuate. In perusing a biography or history of the public services of any living American of the age of seventy-one years, the reader instinctively turns to the fateful years of 18G0-1865, at which time Mr. Tilden was verging upon fifty years of age, the prime of his manhood, and that period of his life when his physical and intellectual powers were at their best. The only public utterance of Samuel J. Tilden at that time, deemed worthy of reproduction by Mr. Bigelow, as indicative of his attitude toward the great questions under which the Nation was staggering into civil war, is an open letter addressed to Hon. William Kent, published in tha New York Evening Post of Oct 30. 1860. In it he betrays the fact that he is saturated with the prejudice enmmon to Democrats, and favorable to the South, to slavery, and to secession if deemed necessary’ to preserve its peculiar institution. At that time, on the eve of the election upon the issue of which so much depended, this man, who is now held up as a statesman, and whose utterances are deemed worthy of preservation, was so lacking in statesmanship and patriotism, so devoid of that political prescience essential to tho lender of men and the shaper of opinion, as to proclaim that the Union must disintegrate in event of the success of the Republican party. He could not see how the aristocratic and autocratic South could submit even to the election of any other candidate than a Democrat. In this letter he prepares for the South an apology for secession, and by his logic incites it to regard the Republican party, even though triumphant according to the methods prescribed by tho Constitution, as “a foreign government” Too much blinded by partisan spleen to see that the solid South was sec tional in defense of slavery against an imagined attack in its stronghold, he denounced the Republican party as sectional and foreign, and to be resisted even to the extent of going into rebellion and attempted secession. See Vol. I, p. 292 et seq. That he was unable to discriminate when his partisan bias was involved is sufficiently established by a paragraph taken from p. 204, as follows: A sectional division, upon a sectional issne, of the great parties which organize and represent the conflicting opinions of society, and which compete tor the control of the machinery of government in a system of confederated States, rapidly and effectually educates the people for disunion.* la this he was arguing against the sectional-

ism of the Republican party, apparently unmindful of the fact that the Democratic South had seetionalized not only again at Northern Republicanism but against Northern Democracy. At that time Southern Democracy was the closest of close corporations, founded on slavery and admitting to fellowship only such as believed it a sacred institution, such as Mr. Tilden himself evidently did. Statesmanship of this kind has been at a discount in this country for a quarter of a century, and this is to be said without partisan bias. It is fatal to Mr. Tilden’s claim to statesmanship that his biographer and friend most be driven to such admission at such a time in the history of the Nation and in the life of the man. If, then, we cannot find the elements of statesmanship in Mr. Tilden at this eventful period, it must be sought for elsewhere. This seems to be understood by Mr. Bigelow, and he begins by quoting letters written on questions of state by Mr. Tilden at the early age of nineteen, evidently to show his precocity. A few others on constitutional questions are then given, which prove that he was hide-bound all the way through and more intent on such interpretations of that instrument as favored slavery and State's rights (secession) than on inculcating such doctrines as would strengthen the Union and allay sectional prejudice. In other words, his own utterances proclaim him the partisan rather than the statesman, though, as a politician he was shrewd enongh to weave his sophistries so deftly into sonnd generalities that he deceived many and finally himself. The editor of the public utterances of Mr. Tilden was wise in expatiatingon his services to the State of New York in assisting in the good work of getting rid of Boss Tweed and other Democratic swindlers of high degree. In freeing his own party of these elements of dishonesty he did much to relieve it of the odium and distrnst that had so long been associated with it. But subsequent events, sufficient hints of which are found in Mr. Tilden’s speeches and letters of 1876 and 1877, leave the reader in doubt of his sincerity as a reformer, and rather encourage the belief that he wrought what he did in his own State with his eye on greater possibilities. His fine race for the presidency, which came so near succeeding, would have left him lasting fame, had he not scattered it by entering upon that scheme of securing by disreputable means tbe votes he could not command by any of the methods prescribed by law. In this respect these two volumes fall short of giving entire satisfaction. It would be interesting to have an official expose of the celebrated cipher telegrams, an explanation of which would have gone far toward relieving the subject of these volumes from the well-grounded belief that he was at least a silent party to the monstrous frauds attempted in his behalf. It would be un charitable to refer to these things had not the editor seen fit to reproduce Mr. Tilden’s argumeuts in his own behalf in the question of the election of 1876 and the decision of the electoral commission of 1877. Mr. Bigelow, with the material at hand, and he had pretty much all he wanted, for Mr. Tilden assisted him, has done his work well, aud has presented his friend and patron in the best possible light. Theso volumes will be valuable to readers of other years in showing how near a man may come of being a success and a statesman and yet totally fail. Mr. Tilden is one of the few remaining Democrats of the old school who swore by the unamended Constitution, and lost no opportunity to attempt to preach the North into respect for State’s rights, secession and slavery.

AniiROMBDA. A Novel. Bv George Fleming (Miss Julia Fletcher). Boston, Roberts Brothers; Indianapolis: The Bowen- Merrill Cos. $1,50. Readers of Miss Fletcher’s stories who remember the charm of “Vestieea” and its marked improvement of style and subject over her earlier work, and take up this book expecting a still further advance will lay it down with a sense of disappointment. Although the heroine of the story, a commonplace young woman with no special attraction save an abundance of fair hair, made three lovers and herself extremely unhappy by her failure to know her own mind at the critical moment, and not from coquetry; although there is a great display, not to say a waste, of emotion of tLe heartrending kind, there is an air of unreality about the characters, as if they are not moved by their own volition, but are propelled by their creator. In spite of the fact that the tale ends happily, and the personages who make it up are obviously intended to be rather gay and light-hearted than otherwise, the air of almost morbid melancholy which pervades its pages—doubtless unconsciously to the author — ib somewhat depressing. Asa whole, it seems almost the outgrowth of a mood. It varies curiously from most novels of which the scene is Italy and part of the characters Italians, in having no villian, and in beiug as free even from the suggestion of evil and of wild passions as if the men and women pictured in its pages lived and loved in Arcadia. Having once begun the story it will not he laid aside, but read to the end, which is, after all, the best proof of a novel’s merits. Onnai,’NDA. A Romance. By J. H. McNaucrhton. Kegan, Paul, French & Go., 1 Paternoster square, London; The Bowon-Merrill Company, Indianapolis. A romance in verse, based on the invasion of the Genesee vlley, in western New York, by the French, under Denouville, aud the heroic deeds of the Iroquois. Onnalinda is an Iroquois “princess,” whose brilliant adventures baffled the French general, and whose fascinating beanty drew to her side the chivalrous Captain Stark. The loves and adventures of these two, and of Ronald Kent and “Glinting Star” are the subject of the poem. The author makes Onnalinda talk with all the savoir faire of a Vaesar graduate, which is hardly to be expected of a woodland nj mph, although the daughter of a Scotch lady of gentle blood, by an Indian chieftain. His emplopment of words that never fonnd usage in America is in bad taste. “Shoon” was never dreamed of by a maiden standing in moccasins that never touched carpet. The verse, teo, ofteu shows signs of bending the theme to meet a pet rhyme-word, and at places the lines jingle and betray painfully evidences of mechanism. An Address ON TH* Ordinances. By David B. Updegr&ff. Mt Vernon. O. William Q. Hubbard & Cos., publialiers, Columbus, O. The Society of Friends (Quakers) is greatly interested at the present time in a close consideration of those ordinances by the observance of which they are become a peculiar people. David B. Updegraff, as an influential member of that sect, has here spoken plainly and pointedly, taking each advanced views as must provoke discussion. He maintains, with excellent reason, that if those who set up the Society of Friends bad the right to sever connection with the church in which they fonnd themselves upon a conscientious investigation of the cardinal doetinee, so sow have their followers the nndoubted right to criticise aud amend ancient beliefs in accordance with increased enlightenment

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOUBNAL, MONDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1885.

The address will doubtless increase the interest in this agitation. Conduct of Law-suits Out of and in Court. By John C. Reed. Little, Brown & Cos., Boston; The Bowen-Merrill Company, Indianapolis. A valuable treatise of the best way to conduct CAses at issue in or out of courts. The subject is abiy handled by one who evidently knows his business and how to tell it to others. It will be invaluable to young men beginning the practice of law, for, however thoroughly they may be versed in the written law, the actual practice of it is a science of its own, and can be and must be studied in cod junction with it. A most cursory examination of this volume will commend it. Francs and England in North America. Montcalm and Wolfe. By Francis Parkman. Part seventh, Vols. I and 11. Little. Brown & Cos., Boston; The Bowen-Merrill Company, Indianapolis. A graphic and authentic history of the prerevolution wars between France and England for the possession of the province of Canada.

The Art Union for July, August and September is rich in illustration and fittingly supplemented with subject-matter written in the best and most engaging literary style. For a frontispiece it has a photograph of “A Dream of Music,’' by Francis Miller. The initial article is a delightful sketch, illustrated, on “Johnny’s Stencils,” showing how many artistic designs may be had and reproduced in stencil work, the subject in this case being Japanese. The paper on “The American Water-color Society* pre-

seats some ideas of tbe latest creations by its members, showing various subjects according to the fancy of the several artists. The Century for October is a notable number. The frontispiece is a portrait of the late Samuel Bowles. Lieutenant Scnwatka has a second paper, illustrated, on the River Yukon; General Badeau contributes an article on the Last Days of General Grant; General Porter has one on Lincoln and Grant; W. D. Howells has an illus trated sketch of Tuscan sketches; and there are a great many other articles and contributions of more than ordinary interest and valuo. The September edition of the Inland Architect and Builder appears in its usual handsome form, but with an unusual amount of matter of interest to the architectural profession and those interested in building. In the illustrative pages a perspective view of the new Zion Temple, at Chicago, competitive design for the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, and a drawing of the proposed crematory at Cincinnati, are especially noticeable.

COMMENT AND OPINION. The possibility of making the tariff a national issue seems to have passed away.—Memphis Avalanche. Register Rosecrans’s dislike of Republicans is so intense that he prefers to run his bureau shorthanded to having them around. —Boston Record. Posterity ought to be given a chance to pay for some portion of the benefits which this generation has secured for it. The war taxes will stand another clip.—Boston Record. Without a legal-tender value, silver is no more money than wheat, corn or tobacco. It needs the force of law to make it equivalent to gold in the circulation of the country. —Washington Critic. The Philadelphia News says there are two horns to the Democratic dilemma. This will not please the average Democrat. What is wanted is at least two “horns” to each Democrat. —Chicago Mail. If accepted as the key-note of the campaien, not for this year only, but for next also, it will be not the least of the many notable services which Mr. Hoar has rendered to his party. —Worcester Spy. To the untutored mind it looks as if the mugwumps were simply disgusted with their new company and had concluded to swallow their pride and return to the Republican fold. —Minneapolis Tribune. There is no war upon silver. The single purpose is to maintain a stable currency of gold and silver, and to discontinue that compulsory coinage which imperils our own monetary system. —Charleston News and Courier. Mr. Beecher’s return to the Republican fold seems to indicate that his lack of orthodoxy prevents him from having faith in any such wiue-and-wnter miracle as the success of Democracy and reform.—Pittsburg Dispatch. Prohibition, if it comes at all. will come by a harmonious series of State statutes, and not by a national law or constitutional amendments. People are tired of being prohibited unless they can prohibit themselves.—Philadelphia Times. Formerly the Podo was often consulted in affairs of state policy, but of late years he has rarely been called upon in such matters. It was specially strange that Germany should submit a dispute to his decision.—Denver Tribune-Re-publican. Not on the Pacific coast alone, but in the heart of New York, it is not as safe for a single Chinaman to walk the streets of an evening as it was for a strange to visit that by-word of all nations —the ancient Sodom. —New York Journal of Commerce.

Mr. Hoar speaks for the great Republican party when he expresses the utmost good will toward the South, and he at the same time speaks for it when he denounces the suppression of suffrage in some parts of that section.—Boston Journal. There is no need of boasting of coming triumphs, or of claiming victories before they have been won, but the Republican party, having placed itself right before the people, can await the verdict of the ballot-box without fear or confusion.—Philadelphia Press. There is only one thing more that Mr. Cleveland can do to insure the execution of the law in the administration of the New York customhouse, and that is. when sending nominations to the Senate, to omit the names of liedden aud Beattie. —Philadelphia Times. Perhaps our growth might not be so rapid with immigration wholly cut off for a few years, but we could well afford the slackening up if it would result in the restoration of the equilibrium between demand and suppiy in our labor markets.—Pittsburg Telegraph. If it is susceptible of proof that the Bell Telephone patent was obtained by fraud and by gross violations of Patent Office rules, no personal consideration whatever shonid prevent the Department of Justice from taking action to protect the public.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The Associated Press report contained no allusion to the Halstead letter, which was published in the Cincinnati Enquirer on Sunday mornine. It was also silent rearding the provisions of the Warner silver bill. The management should attend to busines. —Denver News. There is no power that can make moneyed men iuvest with any commonwealth that will not pay its debts. Asa rule, repudiators lose their credit in the market, and loss of credit is expensive—very. Do the financiers of Georgia and Virginia see the point?—Springfield Republican. Mr. Halstead is right in saying there is much iu his war letters to Secretary Chase that would instruct the rising generation. But the instruction would be obtained at too great a price, owine to the hysterical folly of Mr. Halstead’s judgment of men and movements. —Milwaukee Sentinel. If the Civil-service Commissioners are to be changed, just like the other fellows, at every change of party, what becomes of civil-service principles? It would be better to take advantage of the limited liabilities act, and make its official title “Civil service Reform (limited).”—Philadelphia Inquirer. To suspend the protective policy now would be to shut off the West from her proper share in its benefits. The guests earliest at the table have made a square meal, hut it would be cruel to clear away the dishes while the newer comers are just beginning to satisfy Iheir hunger. —Chicago Inter Ocean. No colored man can act with the Bourbon party in the South so long as it occupies its present position aud carries out its present policy without showing himself to be a miserable, contemptible creature, who does not deserve the freedom which was given him bv the Republican party.—Chicago Tribune. The “able men” now have the President in what they call the “bole” they have made for bitn. They care less for Hill’s victory than for Cleveland’s embarrassment. If Hill is elected the President will be rebuked. Failing to elect Hill, they hope to “rebuke'’ him by charging the defeat to him. —Brooklyn Union. Every sincere man respects the belief of the Roman Catholics of Montreal, who hold that the scourge of smallpox may be lightened by intercession with heaven: but it is hard to have patience with the priests who are planning for a great religious procession next Sunday in the stricken city. Can they not see that any gathering together of people in Montreal ia calcu-

lated to spread the contagion! Or, do they think that God will only be pleased with a procession! Surely the devout prayers of the faithful, uttered in private ana separately, would avail as much.—New York Tribune, In most cases, an honest arbitration will prevent strife, where employers have snch feelings, and where the workers themselves are reasonable and intelligent The effort ought at least to be made, in thousands of cases where it is not now, to arrive at some just conclusion without the suffering and th 6 prolonged disorganization of industry which strikes involve.—New York Tribune. Sweeping denunciation of General Grant as “drunkard'and an “ass.”and urgent exhortation to Mr. Chase to “take him (Abraham Lincoln) by the throat and knock his head against the wall until he is brought to his senses,'’and intimating that “there are persons who would feel that it would be doing God’s service to kill him,” what useful purpose could all this serve. —Springfield Republican. We are asked by some sincere men in the North, who admit the frauds in the South, but deprecate agitation, what can be done about it. We answer: Make it known by the united voice of the country that this contest in Virginia is to be watched and treated as a test, and the wrongs will be prevented. If we are all to acquiesce, of course the crimes will go on. But if there be a righteous and general uprising on the subject, its power will be felt.—Philadelphia Press.

Grant’s Five-Cent Knife. Detroit Free Press. Gen. Phil Sheridan and Seuator Palmer sat side by side at table at the Army of the Cumberland reunion at Grand Rapids. “Senator,” observed Sheridan, “I have a knife here that I’ll sell you for five cents. I cannot give it to you, because the gift of a knife cuts friendship. The man of whom I secured it sold it to me on the samo terms and for the same reasons.’’ “Who sold it to you?” “General Grant.” The Senator bought it, and says that SI,OOO would not buy it. “That tired feeling” from which you suffer so much, particularly in the morning, is entirely thrown off by Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
