The retort that white servants are subjected to like distinctions would have had no force for Brown or most of the early abolitionists, who, if they kept help" at all, allowed them to sit at table with them. Brown's early life le interesting only in its relation to the work he was to do in Kansas, and to his questionable demonstration in Virginia. There no doubt that Brown was of vers great and probably indispensable service to the Free Soil settlers in their struggle for ascendancy in Kansas. Nearly half of Mr.

Banborn'e book is devoted. to this section of his subject's life, and here, at all events, the reader can sympathize with the esteem and admiration felt by the biographer. Throughout the years of border warfare, in which Brown WAS indisputably the most redoubtable and impressive Agure. he does in all specta suggest and satisfy the ideal of the Puritan soldier who. under Cromwell.

WAS the master of the English Commonwealth. Experience had taught him in Kansas, as it bad taught Cromwell' Ironsides, that few resolute men may do great things if stayed up with an indwelling conviction that God is on their aide, and it led him to regard as an enterprise possessing at least some chances of cess that invasion of Virginia which to all onlookers seemed a most foolhardy and hopeless undertaking. His purpose of exciting slave uprising in Virginia, though formed some years before, was greatly strengthened in Kansas, and was actively resumed as soon A8 the triumph of the Free Soil party relieved him from duty in that quarter. Precisely what his aim was and how he proposed to compass it are questions which have given rise to much controversy, but what will doubtless be regarded the most authoritative version of the facts is set forth by Mr. Sanborn chapter of this narrative entitled Plans "The closed." The biographer assures us that John Brown's long meditated plan of action in Virginia was wholly his own.

AB he more than once declared: and it was not until he had long formed and matured it that he made it known to the few friends outside of bis own household shared his confidence in that matter. I cannot say how numerous these were. but beyond his family and the armed followers who accompanied him. I have never supposed that his Virginia plan was known to fifty persons. Eren to those fow it was not fully communicated, though they knew that he meant to fortify himself somewhere in the mountains of Virginia or Tennessee, sally out and emancipate slaves, seize hostages, and levy contributions on the slaveholders.

Moreover. from the time first matured it, there were several changes, amounting at last to an entire modification of the scheme. As be disclosed it to me in 1858. in the house of Gerrit Smith at Peterboro, it was very different to the plan be had unfolded to Thomas and to that other Maryland freedman, Frederick Douglass, at Brown's own house in Springfeld in 1847." According to Douglass, what Brown contemplated in 1847 was this: He did not, A8 8ome suppose, look forward to A general rising AMOng the slaves and a general slaughter of the alave masters. An insurrection, ho thought.

would only defeat the object; but his plan did contemplate the creating of an armed force which should act in the very heart the South. He was not averse to the shedding of blood, and thought the practice of carrying arms would be a good one for the colored people, n8 it would give them a sense of their manhood." He called Douglass's attention on 8 map to the mountain ranges which stretch from the borders of New York into the Southern States. know." he said, these tains well, and could take body of men into them and keep them there despite of all the elforts of Virginia to dislodge them. The truo object to be sought is first of all to destroy the money value of slave property, and that can only ho done by rendering such property insecure. My plan.

then, is to take at amall supply them arms and about twenty- picked men and begin on munition, and post them in squade of five on A a line of twenty-dve miles. The most persuasive and judicious of them shall then go down to the fleids from time to time as opporthem, seeking and selecting the most reckless tunity offers. induce the slaves to join and daring." After a sumcient number of slave recruits had been drilled and armed, Brown proposed, as he told Dougluss, to begin work in earnest: they would run off the slaves in large numbers, retain the brave and strong ones in the mountains, and send the weak and timid! to the North by the underground railroad." Brown recognized that these tactics. if successful. would simply result in the removal of the slaves from Virginia to States turther south, but he intended to follow them there, still keeping to the mountains, and subsisting on the property of the slaveholders, or, as he termed it, the enemy.

The plan disclosed to Sanborn differed materially from this, and there is no doubt that the changes were suggested by his exporience of guerrilla war in Kansas. The whole outline of Brown's campaign in Virginia was laid before the biograpber and two other persons in the bouse of Gerrit Smith on Feb. 22. 1858. The constitution which he bad drawn up for the government of his men, and of such territors as they might occupy, was exhibited by Brown, its provisious recited and explained.

the intended movements of his men indicated, and the middie of May was named as the time of the attack. To begin this hazardous adventure he asked for but $800, and would," he said. think bimself rich with $1,000. Being questioned and opposed by his friends, he laid before them in detail hits methods of organization and fortification: of settlement in the South if that possible, and of retreat througb the North if necessary: and his theory of the way in which such an invasion would be received in the country at large, He desired from his friends a patient hearing of his statements. it" candid opinion concerning bie pian.

and, that were favorable. then such aid in money and support A8 we could givo bim. We listened until after midnight, proposing objections, and raising difficulties, but nothing could shake the purpose of the old Puritan. Every dificulty had been foreseen and provided against in some manner: the grand difficulty of all- -the manifest hopelessness of undertaking anything so vast with such slender means--was met with the text of Seripture, 'If God be for us, who can be against He bad made nearly all his arrangements; he had so many men enlisted. 50 many hundred weapons; all he now wanted was the small sum of money.

With that be would open his campaign in the spring. and he bad no doubt that the enterprise would as he said." A littio later Mr. Sanborn tells us that although Brown communicated freely to four persous his plans of attack and defence in Virginia, is pot known that he spoke to any but me of his purpose to surprise the arsenal and town of Harper's Ferry. It is probable that in 1858 Brown bad not definitely resolved to seize Harper's Ferry: yet he spoke of it to me beside his coal fire in the American House. Boston.

I questioned bim little about it: but it then passed from my mind, and I did not think of it again until the attack had been made a rear and a ball afterward." The delay in the execution of Brown's project seems to have been caused deflelency of moner and partly by the betrayal of his scheme by Forbes, though but for the adverse decision of bis friends, who met in council at the Revere House, Brown would have attempted an invasion in 1858. By the time the preparations for the foray were completed the seizure of Harper's Ferry had become a fundamental feature of Brown's campaign, for Douglass, who visited him at Chambersburg in the latter part of August. 1859.

tried in vain to dissuade him from the movement, on the ground that his orizinal design of drawing the slaves off, to the mountains would prove incomparably more practicable.

Letters of John Brown, by F. B.

BANBORN (Roberta Bros). We need not descant en the author's twofold qualifications for his task. for he is not only a trained writer of large acquirements and undeniable ability, but his personal association with the subject of the narrative renders him more competent than ADT MAn now living to sift and verify the data procurable from others, and to supplement these by facts drawn from his own knowledge. He has not, he tells us, reproduced all the lettors of Brown at his disposal, but those here presented All. with the comments interspersed, a large octavo volume of more than 600 pages, and have manifestly been so judiciously selected as to give a continuous and completo picture of his subject's life.

It is not, of course, to be expected -he himself does not anticipate -that all his roaders will coucar his own view of Brown's purposes and acts: for our own part, while acknowledging Brown's disinterested aims, we doubt whether tho number of thoughtful persons, even in the Northern States, who approve of the method he adopted for the overthrow of slavery is any larger at this time than it was in 1860, when it certainly Included but a small proportion of those who ban see both sides of a question, and who deny the lawfulness of doing evil that good IDAy come. Nor bare we ADy to believe that among the white inhabitants of the forper slave States there is A now. or will be for MADY years to come, a single person willing to defend the course pursued by Brown fomenting slave insurrection in Virginia dispute the justice of his senonce, whatever misgivings may be felt with regard to the expedioney of ita execution. It nevertheless, that the interest and value of this book, as of every other effective biography, is due to the spirit of admiration and respect la which the author has been able to approach his subject. On that score no exception can be taken to the tone of Mr.

Banborn's narrative. "I assure In readers." be says, from long acquaintance with Brown's character, that the more they know it the more they will honor it." That is, at all events. the right temper for a biographer. But many of me Bad it hard to disassociate character from conduct, and are apt, in our estimate of what men are, to be swayed by what they do. Nor.

the world goes, do we lay much stress on purity of motives, unless they are accompanied with sufficient insight to discern the mischierous as as the benefcial results of action. The book begins with a full and careful account of Brown's descent from Peter Brown, the carpenter, who came over in the Mayflower, to Owen Brown, the father of the Kansas captain, who was born Connecticut in 1771. and moved to Hudson. in the Western Reserve. at the age of 84.

Owen's autobiography, written when be was nearly 80 years old. shoda a great deal of light upon the circumstances in which Jobu Brown was brought up, and indicates the which made of him in Kansas and Virginia the protagonist of abolition. On this latter point a letter of Owen Brown's, penned about 1850, bas an even more direct bearing. am." he wrote. "an abolitionist; when a child, four or five years old.

one of our nearest neighbors in Connecticut bad a slave that was brought from Guinea. I used to go out into the field with this slave, called Sam, and he ased to carry me on his back, and I fell in love with him. He died very suddenly. and, as I recollect, this was the frat funeral I ever attended in the days of my youth." It appears that in 1790 Owen Brown heard the Rev. Sameel Hopkins discourse about slavery in Rhode Island, and denounce it as a great sin.

About the same date he road a sermon or pamphlet to the same effect by the Rev. Jonathan Edwards. "From this time." says Owen, WAS anti-slavery 88 much 88 I be auw." But the incident that impressed itself most deeply occurred a few years later. It seems that during the Revolutionary war a Presbyterian minister had brought number of slaves from Virginia to Connecticut for safe keeping, and, buying a farm in the latter State. them there till 1798.

He then returned to sell his farm, and proposed to move back his slaves, although slavery had been abolished in Connecticut nomo years before. One of the blacks ran away, but the minister declared that ne should carry off the women and children, whether he could get the man or not. The fact that a minister of the Gospel was willing to part man and wife whom he bad himself joined in marriage was regarded with peculiar abhorrence in the Connecticut community. "Ever since," says Owen Brown, writing half a century later. I bave been an abolitionist.

and I am so near the and of life I think I shall die one." This story of the slave- hunting minister was no doubt often repeated in Brown's bearDE. and helps us to understand the feeling which prompted him to reject, when in prison and awaiting execution, the frequent cflers of Virginia clergymen to pray with him. Brown invariably applied to them what be considered a touchstone of sincerity. One of these afterward recounted that when he proposed to pray with Brown the old man asked whether he was willing to Oght. in case of need, for the freedom of the slave.

Receiving a negative reply. Brown said: will thank you to leave me alone: your prayers would be an abomination to my God." To another he said that be "would not insult God by bowing down in prayer with one any who bad the blood of the slave on his skirts." We are further told by Mr. Sanborn that "a Methodist preacher named March having ar. gued to Brown his cell. in favor of slavery as Christian institution bis hearer grew impatient and replied: 'My dear sir, you know nothing about Christianity: you will have to learn its c.

He was staying for a short time with a very gentlemanly landlord, since a United States Marshal, who held a slave boy near his own age, very active, a intelligent, and good feeling, and whom John Brown was under considerable obligation for numerous little acts of kindness. The master made a great pat of John; brought him to table with his first company and friends: called their attention to every little smart thing he said or did, and to the fact of his being more than a bundred miles from home with a company of cattle alone: while the neuro boy (who was fully if not more than his equal) was badly clothed, poorly fed and lodged in cold weather, and beaten before bis eyes with iron shovels, or any other thing that came Orst at band.

Whether Gerrit Smith knew that Harper's Ferry was to be sailed is, Mr. Seaborn thinks, uncertain, but his Inst contribution of money to Brown's camp obest was made only a short time before the movement was begun. It is also uncertain whether the force which actually took part in the foray numbered twenty-one or twenty-two persons besides Brown himself, but it la well to bear in mind that the band, though small, was the skeleton of a carefully elaborated organization which, in the event of success, might have been rapidly Alled up with slave recruits.

Why." asks Mr. Sanborn in his comments on the failure of the raid, did Brown attack Harper's Ferry, or, baving captured it, why did be not leave it at once, and push on into the mountaine of Virginia according to his original plan? His explanation is characteristic: it was preordained to be so. 'All our he said, 'even all the follies that led to this disaster, were decreed to happen AR0S before the world was He declared that bad he betaken himself to the mountains be could never have been captured. for he and his men had studied the country carefully, and knew 1t a hundred times better than any of the inhabitants. He ascribed his ruin to his weaknese in listening to the entreaties of his prisoners and delaying his departure from the captured town.

Mr. Sanborn thinks, with Victor Hugo, that what the elew was not John Brown, but slavery.

The substance of the lectures delivered in England during the spring of the present by Cassell Co. in a volume called The Comyear by ARMINIUS VAMBERY bas been published A A A ing Struggle for India. It is not necessary to enter into the controversy raised by the author's remarkable account of the journey which he profosses to hare made many years ago in the garb of a dervish to Khive, Bokhara.

and Samarcand. Whether we regard that narrative as literally authentic, or suspect that for many of its incidents the author drew on his imagination, it cannot be denied that Prof. Vambery is a man of good abilities and unusual attainments. whose attention has for years been concentrated on the affairs of Contral Agin. and who has, at all events, absorbed and digested all the data procurable at second hand.

It is a more exhaustive study of the subject than Mr. Charles Marvin's, whose book will naturally be compared with it. Its usefuiness is much enhanced by the careful discuedion of the alternative deductions from the facts which have been favored according as a Liberal or Tory Government bappened to be in power.

Admitting all that is here said about the strategic value of the positions already gained by Russia on tho Turcoman froutier, does it follow that Great Britain should fight in order to maintain Afghanistan as a buffer or outwork for British India, or should it leave the Afghans to their fate, and content itself with fortifying the northwest boundary of its Indian possessions? In other words, de the true seientife frontier of British India the Paropamisus or the Suliman range of mountains. The reader will he chiefly interested to learn the grounds on which Prof. Vambery advocates the first-named alternative. The author is not one of those who would recommend the formal incorporation of Afghanistan with British India.

He believes that the line of the Heri-Rud, upheld under these conditions, would be incomparably more serviceable to England than the line of the Indus, because the Russians succeed where the English would fail, pamely. in assimilating Afghanistan.

Whatever may be the causes of the Russian superiority in this respect, the fact is undisputed that Russia has contrived to convert the Mo. hammedans of the Caucasus and of the Kirghir Steppes into perfectly tractable and valuable sulgecte, and the same process has gone on with astonishing rapidity among the Akbal Turcomans, who. before their defeat at Geok-Tepe, were accounted the most Indomitable warriors in Asia. If Russia can do this with the Turcomans who, man for man, have hitberto been reckoned more than a match for Afghans. there is no reason to doubt that after brief occupation the Czar might establish his authority as solidly at C'abul as It is now planted At Merv.

This would mean that all the fighting power of the Afghans, which has more than once sufficed to conquer northern India, could henceforth he relied on to sustain a Muscorite advance. Regarded, then, merely as a field for recruiting Russian regiments, it would be an act of folly to abandon Afghanistan.

He spoke as a man at peace with the world, as one who had forxiven whatever wrongs of which he might have been the victim, as one in the evening of life, watching the setting of the sun behind the many colored clouds, and his thoughts dwelling upon nature and upon nature's God. What a beautifull old age it is to which this venerable man has been spared after such A life of turmoil. Mrs.

Davis looked in excellent health. She is a lady of stout stature, and her face shows decision and womanly character. In conversation she WAS quick, intelligent, and extremely thoughtful, censuring noue, mindful of those who had, befriended her family in the days of trial, and evincing great interest in the families of the men who had fallen for the Confederacy. Mr. Davis said that he had loft the war behind bim, and with It pubile life, and did not intend to be drawn into controversial topics.

He conversed pleasantiy on matters of a literary and philosophic nature. Both Mr. and Mrs. Davis inquired affectionately of many Georglans whose memory they cherished: of the peerless Gordon, the "right arm of Lee: of Gen. Colquitt: of Gen.

Henry R. Jackson, whose bravely as A soldier in the Mexican war Mr. Davis well remembered, and especially of the eloquent Hill, whose memory is A precious sentiment in the family. In the Sir. said Mrs.

Davis, "when friends were needed Hill came to me so tenderly and offered his assistance with such considerthat I can never forget it. I think." sho continued. "that the proposed statue to him should be in a recumbent position. It is dignified, and represents his sleeping power." repliod Mr. Davis.

a statue in action. such As that of Patrick Henry In Bienmond. cannot be surpassed for expression." "And yet." resumed Mrs. Davis, "the eye becomes fatigued as it looks upon an active D08- ture which is never changed, while look upon the recumbent statue of Lee for hours." Very true." said Mr. Davis, "that is the statue of man at rest, whose work is finished.

That of Patrick Henry is at his work, appealing to the people. In looking upon either my mind runs back to the occasion. To Mr. Hill, in his Notes Upon the is due the present resurrection of the people; he should be remembered as in Mr. HO Davis's favorite author is Sir Walter Scott.

Spott'e great power of describing objects in motion, and the soonery in which his plote are laid are so truthful and realistic as to make their recognition easy to the traveller who visita them. Among poets he regards Byron A8 the greatest. The striking feature of Byron is that wheuever be renders A quotation from the classics be always improves it so much a8 to become his own. Other authors bave always failed in this regard. Moore is the perfection of harmony.

while Burns expresses buman feeling. The three Moore, and Burnsmake a complete combination. Bulwer. among modern novelists. is perhaps the greatest.

He is the only novelist whose styio changed with nze-his Last of the Barons being as different in every respect from Pelham as though written by different persons. Passing than to industrial questions, be said that the greatest danger to the countrs in the future is the vast aggregation of wealth in singlo hands. Primogeniture was abolisbed A4 remedy for that evil in times past. Now large fortunes--beyond the power of the owners to spend--can be nccumulated in one life. Agrarianiam as a remedy would be a greater curse than the evil itself.

As to the of increased knowledge, be found a difference between education and wisdom. I have known." said Mr. Davis, wise men who were not learned. and learned men who were not very wise. A man's discretion cannot be gauged by his knowledge.

The Scotch are a people of great knowledge. yet in many parts of Mississippi, where book knowledge is lucking, the people are always wise in their conclusione, not always able to give the reasons therefor, yet none the less One more topic your correspondent takes the liberty of giving, since it shows Mr. Davis in the light of a close Bible student. Referring to the revised edition, he did not see that the revisers had removed the few material errors which were to be found in the King James edition. yet they bad made many changes which only shocked the conservative conscience of Bible readers, while the change was produetive of no corresponding good in the text.

For instance, where the King James veraion says. The Lord God spake unto Moses and said." the revisad edition makes it: "The Lord said unto Moses." Now this is merely A change of expression thout changing the meaning, and therefore unnecessary. It was thus, with easy changes from one topic to the other. alwars taking lofty viewa, that Mr. Davis talked for four hours.

It was a COnversation to which the whet. South would bave listened with interest, and only inability to give it in Mr. Davis's pure phraseology compels forbearance. To put in a few words my Impressione gathered at the two homes of Mr. require but a few words.
