d one of the most local and illiterate of American colloquialisms reappearing in the Pall Mall Gazette, where it says: Even Mr. Sala is better known, we expect, for his half-dozen books, etc. But the most repellent things one sees in English books, in the way of language, are the coarsenesses for which no American is responsible, as when in the graceful writings of Juliana Ewing the reader comes upon the words stinking or nigger. This last offensive word is also invariably used by Froude in Oceana. Granting that taste and decorum are less important than logic and precision, it seems as if even these last qualities must have become a little impaired when we read in the Saturday Review such curious lapses as this: At home we have only the infinitely little, the speeches of infinitesimal members of Parliament. . . . In America matters yet more minute occupy the press. More minute than the infinitely little and the infinitesimal! It will be a matter of deep regret to all thoughtful

ney are a sufficient answer to this accusation. To none has it less application than to the subject of our sketch. He was a genial, warmhearted man, an elegant scholar, a finished gentleman at home, and the life of every circle which he entered, whether that of the gay court of Charles II., amidst such men as Rochester and L'Estrange, or that of the republican philosophers who assembled at Miles's Coffee House, where he discussed plans of a free representative government with the author of Oceana, and Cyriack Skinner, that friend of Milton, whom the bard has immortalized in the sonnet which so pathetically, yet heroically, alludes to his own blindness. Men of all parties enjoyed his wit and graceful conversation. His personal appearance was altogether in his favor. A clear, dark, Spanish complexion, long hair of jetty blackness falling in graceful wreaths to his shoulders, dark eyes, full of expression and fire, a finely chiselled chin, and a mouth whose soft voluptuousness scarce

st He judged it wrong to lay down anything rashly, and seemed to doubt whether these different forms of religion might not all come from God, who might inspire men in a different manner, and be pleased with the variety. He therefore thought it to be indecent and foolish for any man to threaten and terrify another, to make him believe what did not strike him as true. Passing by the Telemachus of Fenelon, we come to the political romance of Harrington, written in the time of Cromwell. Oceana is the name by which the author represents England; and the republican plan of government which he describes with much minuteness is such as he would have recommended for adoption in case a free commonwealth had been established. It deals somewhat severely with Cromwell's usurpation; yet the author did not hesitate to dedicate it to that remarkable man, who, after carefully reading it, gave it back to his daughter, Lady Claypole, with the remark, full of characteristic bluntness, that the g

e Potomac on the evening of the 13th of July; on the same day all the movable force which their adversaries have retained in the Kanawha Valley are preparing to destroy the Tennessee Railroad. This small column, composed of two regiments—one of cavalry, the other of mounted infantry—under the command of Colonel Toland, leaves Brownsville on the banks of the Ohio, follows Coal River, and takes on the right the only road which crosses this country through Guyandotte Mountain to the village of Oceana, whence it breaks into the Alleghanies through the valley of Tug Fork, one of the affluents of Sandy River, and arrives on the 17th at the town of Jeffersonville, near the source of Clinch River, where it captures a depot with thirty-five men. The Federals, after a night's rest, resume their rapid march, successively climb the large hills of the main chain, and at last reach the town of Wytheville on the left bank of New River, in the large valley watered by an affluent of that stream and fo
