TilK DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 34, 167C LITEttATana. MS VIEW OF NEW BOOKS.' From Claxton, llemsen .t Hafl'eltinger vre have received the following new publica tiont: "Winter Toema by Favorite American Foete," published by Fields, Osgood & Co., is a very beautiful holiday book that gi worthy of the attention of book-buyers, both on account of its literary and its artistic merits. The poems are, "The Fageant," by J. G. "Whitticr; "The Golden Mile Stone," by II. W. Longfellow; "A Winter Tiece," by "V. 0. Bryant; "The First Snow Fall," by J. 11. Lowell; "In School Days," by J. O. "Whittier; "The Snow Shower," by W. C. Bryant; "Woods in Winter," by II. W. L3ng- j fellow; "The Snow Storm," by It. W. Em erson; and "Midnight Mass for the Dying Year," by II. W. Longfellow. The illustra tions are by Harry Fenn, Winulow llotner, C.C. Griswold, W. J. Hennessy, S. Eytinge, Jr., Homer D. Martin, Jervia MeEntee, and Alfred Fredericks. They are engraved by A. Y. S. Anthony, and both as drawings and engravings they are in the highest degree creditable to the American artists, and will compare favorably with the best European book illustrations. "Little Fassy Willow," by Mrs. Harriet Beocher Stowe, published by Fields, Osgood & Co., is a pleasantly written story for young people that is made additionally attractive by a number of clever illustrations and by a handsome binding that makes it an elegant gift book for the holidays. "My Apingi Kingdom," by Taul Du Chailln, published by Harper & Brothers, is one of those lively and entertaining books of travel and adventure in the centre of Africa that those who have perused Mr. Du Chaillu's former works will know how to appreciate. This book gives a great deal of interesting in formation on natural history subjects, and it is made additionally attractive by a number of excellent illustrations. Another work of somewhat the same de scription that is likely to be popular with young readers has also just been issued by Harper A Brothers. This is the "Adventures of a Young Naturalist," adapted from the French of Lucien Bart by Barker Gillmore. It is a narrative of travel and adventure in Mexico, and it gives abetter description of some of the features of that country than any work we have met with. It is written in an enter taining style, expressly for the benefit of young readers, and we heartily commend it as containing an infinite amount of instruc tion and amusement. The illustrations are numerous and remarkably fine. ' E2"From Thistles Grapos?" by Mrs. Elioart, published by Harper & Brothers, is an English society novel of average merit and in terest. " On the Trail of War," by Alexander Innes Shand, published by Harper & Brothers, is made np of a series of letters to the London Times by a correspondent who accompanied the German armies at the commencement of the present war. The work is valuable as giving the personal experiences of an eye witness to the battles and marches that in augurated the wonderful campaign now, it is to be hoped, fast drawing to a close. Mr. Shand is a graphic writer, and the book is one that will well repay perusal. "Italian Life and Legends," by Mrs. Anna Cora Mowatt-Ilitchie, published by .Carleton, is a series of sketches from Italian history and records of Italian experi ences and impressions. Mrs. Ilitchie never went very far below the surface in any of her writings, but if not profound she was graceful; and the present volume, in addition to being very readable, has an interest-attached to it as the last performance of its lamented author. "The Cloven Foot," by Orpheus C. Kerr, published by Carleton, is a very dreary bur lesque of Charles Dickens' unfinished novel of Edwin "Drood." It takes all kind of people to make the world, but we cannot underetand the particular frame of mind that could in duce an apparently sane man to perpetrate such an utterly pointless attempt at humor as the one before us. i "Dream Music," by Frederio Hi Marvin, published by Carleton, is the title of a book of verses that are not unmelodious, but in which we fail to detect any very marked poetical qualities. ! ' "The Book Above All," by the fate T. H. Stockton, D. D., published by Claxton, Ilem sen fc Haffelfinger, is a series of sermons prepared by Mr. Stockton for publication a ehort time before his death. The leading idea is that the Bible is at once a religious, moral, and political guide, and this is de veloped and illustrated with all the earnest ness of profound and sincere conviction. Mr. Stockton was a man of strong convictions, and if his violent antagonism to the Church of Borne and his fears of its influence be coming predominant in this country appear to many unwarranted, there is no doubt that he wrote as he thought and that his fears were intensely real. As an exposition of the author's views concerning the Bible this book will commend itself to a large circle of readers, while the pure and beautiful Chris tian spirit that pervades it will secure for it the regards of many who may not agree on all points with the writer. J. B. Lippincott & Co. send us the fql lowing new books: ' "Our Poetical Favorites," byAshael C. Ken driek, published by Sheldon & Co. , is a selec tion from the best minor poems in the Eng lish language. The poems are nearly all medern, and the editor thereby does some what of an injustice to the reader, as some of the best minor poems in the language were written by Elizabethan authors. The collec tion is an excellent one, however, so far as it g oes, and lovers of poetry will find many favorites included in it. "We Girls," by Mrs. A. D.T. Whitney, published by Fields, Osgood & Co., is a more than usually pleasing home story, such as few writers could bate told better than the author of "Faith Gartney's Girlhood." Mrs. Whit ih y's last book is one of her best, and it will undoubtedly find an extensive circle of ad miring readers. . "Lost in the For," published by Lee fc Shcpard, is the third volume of the "B. O. W. C." series, by James De Mille. Itisaa exciting tale of adventure, such as a multitude of boys will read with eager inferest. From the American Sunday-school Union we have received the following new religions stories suitable for Snnday-school libraries: "What Changed Guy Dennis; or, Life at School and at Home," "Days at Millgite; or, Lame Johnnie's Holiday," and "Great Thingi done by Little People." T. B. Peterson it Brothers send uh "The Stolen Mask" and "The Yellow Mask," a conple of the earlier works of Wilkie Collins, whioh are strongly markod by the peculiari ties of his ntyle. From Turner t Co. we have received "Christmas Day: the Night Before and the Night After," a series of popular CbrHttnas poems gotten up in holiday style. From the Central News Company, No. 605 Chesnnt street, we have received the No vember number of All the Year Ilound and the December number of The Aldine iV. This last-named publication is profusely illus trated and contains a great variety of reading matter especially adapted to the tastes of holiday readers. The typography of this publication is, as usual, remarkable for its beauty. THE AUSTRIAN POLICY. Count von Iteunt'n Declarations Aimtrlti linger for Peace anil Unprepared lor War. Vienna, Nov. 24. The declaration of the Vienna Government that it will support Eng land and Turkey, even to the mom extreme measures, may have caused some surprise to the admirers of Count tieust, whose policy has hitherto been one of peace, especially in all dillieulties that have at various periods threatened the Sublime Porte. The Count's well-known New Year's despatch of 1807 (in which he proposed a Congress of the eignatary powers of the treaty of Paris of 1850, to consider the question whether Russia should not be released from the. shackles placed upon her maritime power in the Black iSea), will not have been forgotten; and the Journal de tit. l'clersbourg recently asked why Count Beuat should find the revision of the treaty wrong and injurious to-day, which he considered as desirable in 18C7. 1'nat proposition, however, was made at an apparently ub propitious mo ment. The political condition of Southern Europe was then very critical; Crete 6tood in llames; France and England considered the proposition "monstrous," and Kuesia refused to make use of the pint; and now the question is again called np, but in a more dangerous form. Count Beust takes a moBt decided stand-point, quite at vari ance with his usual peace-making policy, and ieeis bouna to oe guinea in nis courie alto gether by that taken by Turkey and Euarland. In every question that has previously threat ened to involve the Porte in war he has always bean the very foremost to act the part of conciliator. We need only call to mind the kindly services of the Austrian Government in the Servian dillieulties with Turkey; in pre venting war between Greece and the Sublime Porte in the Cretan difficulties; and then again in smoothing away the dillieulties that threat ened a rupture between the Sultan and the Khedive; and why does he not now use bis good services in smoothing away the present dilli eulties ? Count Beust has recently answered these questions himself, in a spirit corresponding to the tone adopted by the English Government. What he considered as good policy In 1S07 might be so in 18"i0 were it adopted in a manner cor responding to the usages ot civilized nations; and he complains that the rude breaking of a treaty by any one power would lead, it per sisted in by nil European powers, to a condition of thmgs little removed from barbarism. When he proposed a Congress in ISoT, all the signatary powers were in existence; but now Kussia has seized an opportunity for an illegal act when one of the then greatest powers lies prostrate, and the other appears to be in a mood creating suspicion as to the position which she intends to occupy. Prussians bound, equally with f ranee, .England, it;il y, and Austria, to see that the letter of the treaty is carried out; when she does not, she places nereeli at the side of Russia, go say the Austrian journals. And the result of this alliauce or understanding between two great powers is considered dangerous to the existence of Austria; and the neutrality of PrusEia will be considered as an act of hostility towards that Government. The Yicnna journals, oltlclal and unofficial, ipeak plainly on this point, and in high diplomatic circles the view prevails univeri-ally that au understanding not an alliance, in the exact sense of the word was had between the Emperor of Russia aud King William, at the memorable meeting of the two monarchs at Ems, just before the breaking out of the German-French conflict; This agree ment was that Prussia should be left a free hand with France, and permitted the unmolested annexation of Alsace aud Lorraine, and, in re turn, Russia should be at liberty to open up the Eastern question to her own satisfaction. This opinion, notwithstanding the fact that Odo Russell was convinced in Versailles that no "alliance" exists between the two powers, is firmly held in Vienna in ollieial quarters. And the tone of total indifference to Russia's action, as exhibited In the Prussian press, helps to strengthen this view. DRY GOODS.

The bonds are Issued at t20,QC0 per mile a?alnat the portion on of the lloe fully completed aud equipped. The greater part of the road Is already in opera tion, aud the present earnings are iargeiy in exoes cf the operating expenses and Interest on the bonds. The balance of the work necessary to establish through connections, thereby shortening the dis tance between St. Faul and Chicago 45 mil js, and 00 miles to St. Louis, Is rapidly progressing, in time for the movement of the coming grain crops, which, It is estimated, will double the present income of the road. The established character of this road, running as It does through the heart of the most thickly-seUled and richest portlou of the great 8tate of Iowa, to gether with Its present advanced condition and large earnings, warrant us in unhesitatingly recommend ing these bonds to investors as, in every respect, an undoubted security. A small quantity of the Issue only remains unsold, and when the enterprise Is completed, which will be this fall, an immeaiate ad vance over subscription price may be looked for. The bonds have fifty years to run, are convertible at the option of the holder into the stock of the Com pany at par, and the payment of the principal is pro vided for by a sinking fund. The convertibility privilege attached to these bonds cannot fail to cause them, at an early day, to command a market price considerably above p r. U. S. Five-twenties at pre sent prices return only 4)tf per cent, currency lute rest, while these bonds pay 9 per cent., and we regard them to be as safe and fully equal as a security to any Railroad Bond Issued; and until they are placed npon the New York Stock Exchange, the rules of which require the road to be completed, we obligate ourselves to rebuy at any time any of these bonds sold by us after this date at the same price as realized by us on their sale. All marketable securities taken In payment free of commission and express charges. IILLMtY CI.I.U S & CO., No. 32 WALL Street, IV. Y.
