, and entitles your second in command to succeed you. Looking in another direction, you see the government announcing a policy in South Carolina. What is it? Well, Mr. Secretary Cameron says to the general in command there: You are to welcome into your camp all comers; you are to organize them into squads and companies; use them any way you please—but there is to be no general arming. That is a very significant exception. The hint is broad enough for the dullest brain. In one of Charles Reade's novels, the heroine flies away to hide from the hero, announcing that she never will see him again. Her letter says: I will never see you again, David. You, of course, won't come to see me at my old nurse's little cottage, between eleven in the morning and four in the afternoon, because I sha'n't see you. So Mr. Cameron says there is to be no general arming. But I suppose there is to be a very particular arming. But he goes on to add: This is no greater interference with the insti

le Faun, which he read through in a day and calls a wonderful book. Of Adam Bede he says: It is too feminine for a man; too masculine for a woman. He says of Dickens, after reading Barnaby Rudge : He is always prodigal and ample, but what a set of vagabonds he contrives to introduce us to! Barnaby Rudge is certainly the most bohemian and esoteric of Dickens's novels. He liked much better Miss Muloch's John Halifax, --a popular book in its time, but not read very much since. He calls Charles Reade a clever and amusing writer. We find nothing concerning Disraeli, Trollope, or Wilkie Collins. Neither do we hear of critical and historical writers like Ruskin, Matthew Arnold, Carlyle, and Froude. He went, however, to call on Carlyle in England, and was greatly impressed by his conversation. The scope of Longfellow's reading does not compare with that of Emerson or Marian Evans; but the doctors say that every man of forty knows the food that is good for him, and this is true menta

Tremendous applause, and three cheers for Fremont.] Looking in another direction, you see the government announcing a policy in South Carolina. What is it?

The decline of the old type of story explains why Hawthorne turned to the production of long romances. The age of the Hawthornesque short story had passed. With the fifties had come a new atmosphere. To realize it one has but to read for a time in Godey's lady's Book and Graham's magazine and the annuals and then to turn to Harper's magazine, established in 1850, Putnam's magazine, in 1853, and The Atlantic monthly, in 1857. In England it was the period of Dickens and Thackeray and Reade and George Eliot, the golden age of the later novel. American magazines like Harper's were publishing serial after serial by British pens, yet the demand for short fiction increased rather than declined. During its first year The Atlantic monthly published upward of thirty-three short stories by twenty-three different authors, or an average of almost three in every number. It was no longer fiction of the earlier type. A new demand had come to the short story writer; in the Introductory

ets, effecting by a single quiet word or look what others had toiled and stormed in vain to accomplish. Quite democratic in his theories and sympathies,—though he never got credit for this with strangers, —and utterly despising every affectation of personal or social advantage, yet he had at his command all the haughtiness of a Venetian nobleman, and could at a moment's notice put barriers insurmountable and immeasurable between himself and any offender. The sort of temperament which Charles Reade endeavors to describe in his Lord Ipsden in Christie Johnstone— but without there freeing it from a certain air of affectationwas natural and almost controlling in Stephen Perkins. Holding in his hands youth, beauty, culture, social advantages, he seemed yet to grasp them all lightly, as if for the next breeze to bear away. He dallied with his great powers, not in mere indolence, still less in conceit; but as if some hidden problem were first to be solved before these trivial faculties<

Dramatizing Novels. --The London Critic says that a case was argued before the Court of Common Bench, on Monday, which is of the highest importance to dramatists and the authors of works of fiction. Mr. Charles Reade brought an action against Mr. Conquest, of the Grecian Saloon, for producing a dramatic version of the novel entitled "It is Never Too Late to Mend." The facts were not denied by the defendant, but he pleaded that what he had done was not an infringement of Mr. Reade's copyroducing a dramatic version of the novel entitled "It is Never Too Late to Mend." The facts were not denied by the defendant, but he pleaded that what he had done was not an infringement of Mr. Reade's copyright. After the case had been argued, Mr. Justice Williams delivered judgment for the defendant, pronouncing that the public representation of a piece upon the stage was not a publication within the meaning of the statute of Anne, which gives the author of a book the copyright in his book.

Foreign Literary intelligence. A complete edition of Balwer's novels has been issued at Stuttgart, in German, in one hundred and ten volumes. A new edition of Miss Yonge's tales is publishing in German, of which the "Heir of Redclyffe" and the "Trials," both translated by C. Kolb, have already appeared, Charles Reade's "Hard Cash" has also been translated into German by M. Scott, and Miss Braddon's "Henry Dunbar" and "The Doctor's Wife" are likewise to appear shortly in German. Very shortly, John Stuart Mill and Alfred Tennyson are to be balloted for as honorary members of the Royal Society of Scotland. Some curious old deeds and leases have been discovered in the office of a firm of Birmingham solicitors, bearing dates between 1573 and 1662, relating to property adjoining Shakespeare's house, in Henley street, Stratford-upon-Avon, two of which bear the signature of John Shakespeare, the father of the poet, and in several of which William Shakespeare himself is mentio

Sultan was another famous elephant of those days. He was an animal of fine appearance, and very well trained, and well known throughout the country. He was at the building of the old Zoological Institute in the Bowery during the winters of '36 and '37, whence he went to the West Indies. While there, he went into a pond for a bath one day, and, refusing to leave it, several balls were fired into him by way of persuasion, from the effects of which he died. Mad'lle D'jek, the heroine of Charles Reade's "lack-of-all-Trades," was here about 1834, and played at both the Park and Bowery Theatres, after which she went to Philadelphia. She was in charge of an East Indian native keeper. While in this city, she got loose one night and went through the Bowery and Chatham streets, pumping water from the pumps which then stood in those localities, and wrenching on the handles after she had satisfied her thirst. She also made sad havoc with the awning posts, and raised the mischief generally.

He professes no affection for his keeper — he is an unwilling slave. When he is whipped in a fair (or unfair) fight, and says enough, he never goes back on his word without some fresh cause of offence makes a new quarrel. When his fits of frenzy are on him.
