LITERATURE.
Cult A Woi's Hurt. A Novel . . By Ada
Clare. New York: M. Doolwly. Philadelphia
Agent: T. B. Peterson & Brother. ,
We deprecate, m a rule, tho appearance of sen
sational novels. As a class they' are ylUatlntc to
the taste and depraving to the morals of the
reader. There are some few, however, which
are so ridiculously original In their characters,
plot, society, and denotement, that whatever in
dtgnation we miiht feci is swallowed up in the
keen serine of the comical. To Ibis class, harm
less because of it eross absurdities, belongs
"Only a Woman's Henrt." The plot of the novel
we can briefly sum up. There are two girls,
young 'ladies, we should say, in love with one
man. The heroines' names are Laura and Julia.
The hero answers to the euphonious title of
Victor Doriu. As is tho custom of the heroes of
fiction when placed in similar positions, he en
gages himirlf to tho one he docs care a Jot or
tittle for. The major part of the woric is con
sequently devoted to his approaches to Laura,
while he remains afllanced to Julia. Thin
honor ablo diversion is finally terminated by
Laura sciting out on a sea voyage, whither
Victor follows her. They are engaged, and when,
after three hundred pages of agony, their bliss
seems secured, a storm arises which sinks the
ship and all its passengers, including the luck
less pair. Such is the tale, neither particularly
moral in its thread or pleasant in its conclusion.
There are certain little eccentricities displayed
in the narrative which we will quote, as scenes
taken from wnat we are assured is real life.
The opening chapter is unique. A number ot
pupils of a ieuiate seminary are indulging in
the feminine pleasure oi rowing. A discus
sion ensues, which terminates in b second
Austcrlitz. We let Mu Clare describe the
scene:
"t.cretuch a skirmish of words ensued between
the two viris, .hue, had not the boat arrived at a
convenient spot lor onibaikauon, a naval battle
would ccrtainiy have couvulsed tue pooceiul watur
ol uiat snaliow airoaui. But no sooner ilia it touou
land than the biaou 01 warlike spirits How promts
- cuousrv at each other. Tho other Kins, taking a
boisterous interest in me aQray, lormed a ring and
prepared to enjoy the sport. The plan ol battle was
a peculiar ouf; there were very lew blows iiiveu,
but the chief objuot soeiui d to bo to ascertain
which cou d squeeze the hardest, and drag tue
other about most unresistingly. Iu thu course oi
events, Laura con' rived to get hnlu ot a handful of
Julia's hair, ana, by means of this, to pu 1 her round
and rouiid, wuh no otuer view, auparently, than to
make her describe involuntary circles. It was, how
ever, considered a masterly piece of strategy bv the
spectators, and their expressions to that effbot so
maddened Julia that she took her revenge by
- scratching Laura's throat from ear to ear, aud then
they tripped each otuer up, aud rolled lor at least
ten minutes in the sand, in an euiirely iniscellane.
ua manner, aitur which bJih florv b, lnts seemed
quenched, ana thoy quietly roso aud equally claimed
the victory.
"In the meanwhile, the unconscious objoot of this
ontest was a biadun witness ot it all. Just above
and beyond them he sat witn anotnor young man,
excessively amused by its luulcrous sido, though it
aaoet rudely uispel ed tneir former illusions about
the young angels trom the semiuary, and shook
their wnoie lair theory 01 geutie girlhood to its
loundations. the being whose name has been mys
teriously announced as boginuing with a V, was
' a,voDng man oi partly foreign blood, pursuing the
ait 01 sculpture through ambition, that of the
drama as a protession, and owning the euphonious
name of Victor Dona, which, a to surname, the
xtadei will perceive, was possessed of a most ancient
' and aristocratic flavor. Whether any of the blood
Ot the house of the Donas ran In his veins he had
not been heard to BUfftrest. but irom the peculiarities
f his face and manner, popular opinion had
already docidea the question iu the affirmative."
After this little exhibition of pugilism before
two gentlemen, they proceeded to an amuse
ment which, considering the probable presence
of their audience, causes us no small astonish
ment: "Though it was iar too late In the fall to make
bathing an actual pleasure, .for it was verging
towards the middle of November, these girls, all
active and ambitious Bwlmmers, in spite of the chill
in the air, were soon battling about in the water,
'duckina' each othor with unparalleled rudeness,
screaming sorilly, and indulging in boisterous exhi
bitions ot animal spirits which would have utterly
shocked the proprieties ot gins brought up m city
schools."
The gen tie man "whose name begins with V"
and bis companion were doubtless edified by
the exhibition.
There Is another peculiarity we notice. The
hero Doria is an actor, apparently what we
would term In daily parlance a "stock actor."
Yet we are assured he moves in the best society
no circle of the rich, no inter-penetralia of
aristocracy from which he is debarred. Mothers
welcome him as a guest, and he quits the stage
to enter the most refined drawing-roomf, We do
not say that such ought not to be the case, yet the
fact is nevertheless true. They are excluded, and
all the Victor Dorias in creatloa oould not have
been treated in the wy which " Only a
Woman's Heart" asserts. Laura gives a pieee
of masculine, yet sensible advice, to her aotor-
adorer, which we quote as applicable to per-
formers under similar circumstances:
Laura looked up at his approach, and welcomod
luin wltn her usual quiet sime. "VV hat Is tue mat
tor, Victor f" she asked, when she had fuliy mea
sured hi face with Iter kind eyes. "1 see you are
annoyed."
"Tier, I am; I wan you to look at this I haven't
spoken of it to anyone else, lor you are the only
one here on whose syropatuies 1 can really dopend.
1 know you sympathise with mo."
"I'm so glad you think so."
"Well, just listen to this; It is from a loading Jour
nal, whioh hitherto has been moat favorably dis
posed to me."
"Xhey have taken a new cdtie on to the staff, I
suppose."
"Probably ; but see what it says ; I am nmoh over
rated. It is doing an injustice to native aotorj. to
aloglxe a foreigner so oejondhis deserts. 1 laok
ehgnity ; 1 am not large enough; my voice is sicken
wall sweet: I ara effeminate, presumptuous, over
borne with eonoeit. 1 loot superciliously on the
public; 1 have grown careless ; aud finally, worst of
all, a suspicion that 1 buy over other oritlos to my
Interest. Now, what do you thin of tuat? Ought
I to pull the critic's nose or answer it?"
".Neither, yoo loolish fellov. Don't you know
you cannot ngbt a pressman unless you are a press
man yourself? I mean yon cannot fight him with
answering him, because it would be taking him on
bis own giound, where be knows all the shifts and
turnings, and you know nothing. You would come
with your earnestness, ana indignation, and sensl
tiveness, and he would just trip you up, with on
flippant sarcasm or impertinence. U u jugt ille My
' Athnt art jirrenflrih and riffht PO for nmhino rhn
an opponent is thorougfiiy master of the 'knack' of
' ' the thing. As for personal assault, whioh you tech
nically term pul'ina oi me nose, i nunc it would be
very uadigniUed under the s.ignt provocation."
We think that it would have been very undig,
nified, and might result in something worse than
compromising Victor's hauteur.
In regard to the literary execution of the
story, we cannot complain. It is pleasantly told,
In a quiet conversational style, which reads
pleasantly and smoothly. It is neatly executed
by Mr. Doolady. But we must both censure and
deplore the false judgment which leads an
authoress to portray social conditions which
have never existed, and depict characters and
situations whose only merit Is their absurd
originality. A truthful delineation of what
really can be teen is the only form of meritorious
novels which pretend to depict social events.

Takkd Kbits or rnn F cnrral. A Collrction
of Essays, Pobms. 8rBKona, H'B'Ohibs uo
Huhqtjfts. By Pilvat Miles O'Reilly. New
York, Carletom PnU.tdelphia Agent:
The unique title, of the work before us Is taken
from the iamiVar linos vt Hamlet:
"he funeral besel meats
Did coldly furnish lertti the wedding breakfast,"
and we must contest that the name Is a pecu
liarly happy one. On the return of peace It b
mot appropriate to serve up papers on the
war as baked meats of the funeral at the Joyous
wedding feast The collection of viands placed
before us is so varied, that we greatly doubt
whether all can be denominated baked. There
seems a difch dressed in every variety known to
literary viisxne; we have seldom seen a more
thoroughly disjointed book. It comprises every
thing the articles written by Halptne in the
Utrald and Iribune, his poems, dashed off on
the Inspiration of the moment, and some of his
older works. The most interesting chapter in
the work is that one in which he clears up tho
mystery about the authohlp of the famous
poem on the "Flaunting Lie." He removes all
imputation of Mr. Horace Greeley being the
writer, and assumes the responsibility himself
of saying that Mr. Greeley never wrote the
verses. It Is rather a matter of conjecture, from
the body of the book, whether Mr. Halpino de
sires his readers to have the impression that he
wrote them or not." In his preface, how
ever, he is emphatic. He says, in it, that
in connection therewith the author would only
say that be was at all times ready to assume its
authorship, but was restrained by tho sugges
tion of Mr. Greeley that in 'politics a lie well
stuck to is as good as truth," and that "no mat
ter what avowals were made in regard to the
song, Mr. Greeley's enemies would still continue
to hold him responsible therefor." So this in
teresting question is now satisfactorily solved.
The whole work Is of interest. It is written in
the genial style of the "Private," and is a spicy
reminder of the events of the days which are
still so fresh in all our memories.
We have always desired to see a spirit of
courtesy manifested by cultivators of letters,
in their intercourse with each other. As a
general rule the public can seldom find fault
with writers because of any lack of politeresn
in their dealings with their own craft. We fear
that candor is too olten sacrificed to courtesy.
But there occurred yesterday a lamentable In
stance of positive rudeness. The literary critic
of the Press, in a recent review of Mrs. Ann 8.
Stephens' lute novel, the "Gold Brick," under
took to express a doubt in regard to the proba
bility of certain portions of the narrative. In
that doubt we sympathized. In our examina
tion of the book we stated that it was "per
fectly unnatural, its extreme disregard for any
thing like probability being its chief merit." On
this expression Mrs. Stephens took the trouble
to write a letter, giving proofs that the
inEtancea stated by her as facts were
truths of history." She gave the dates,
and added the confirmation of , her
signature, as guarantee to her words. Under
such circumstances, it ib only natural to'suppose
that the Press would have published her letter,
and let her thns speak for her own defense.
without going behind her assertions. On the
contrary only extracts are given, and to these
statements are added comments expressive of
doubt. "Connecticut editors no doubt will
verily or correct this statement." "We accept
Mrs. Stephens' statement, subject, as before, to
any admission, explanation, or deniul from Con
necticut." Such is the manner in which the
critic of tho Frees receives a letter from a lady.
Some may term it caution, we see It only as
gross discourtesy. We accept the facts as given
by Mrs. Stephens in good faith, and before her
explanation most of the improbability of her
work disappears.
Thb American News Company. The origina
tor of the American News Company was Mr.
John Hamilton. He was born in New York
city in 1833, commenced work by selling papers
in the stieets at the age of eight or ten years,
and may be said to have grown up with the
newspaper business of this city from its infancy.
He hud eneigy, tact, and foresight, and soon
developed the characteristics of a successful
dealer; he sublet to other boys, and gradually
attained position and influence among the ira
teruity. When the era of cheap publications
commenced, and Park Benjamin, Wilson, Win
chester, and a host of other enterpris
ing publishers flooded the land with
their cheap reprints, young Hamilton availed
himself of this new branch of business, and met
with his usual success. In May, 1854, he es
tablished himself in the news business at No. 30
Ann street, aud during the same year " entered
into a partnership with Mr. S. W. Johnson,
under the firm style of Hamilton & Johnson.
Later in the day he added to the firm Mr. P.
Farrelly. In the fall of 1864, they united their
business with that of H. Dexter &, Co. In Feb
ruary, 1864, the firm was joined with its rival
Tosey & Co., under the title of the American
News Company. Mr. Sinclair Tousey was Presi
dent, and Mr. Henry Dexter . Vice-President.
The amount of business transacted by the con
tern is proven by the following authorized ex
hibit: Saltl. JVo, or Cnnim.

Here is a personal description of Thomas
Carlyle at the Edinburgh University, at three
score and ten, worth extracting, from the Lon
don Telegraph:
"Mr. Car, vlo rose at once, shook himself ont of
hi gold-laoi d rectorial gown, loft It on his cha ir
and stepped quictv to the tab e, and drawing his
tan Dony irame into a position oi straignt pe pen

at seventy years ot ago, he began to speak quietly
ana distinctly, bnt nervously There vas a slight
flush on his face, but he boie himself with compo
sure and dignity, and in the ceur-e ol halt an hour
he was obviously beginning to tool at his aso,so far,
at least, as to have adequate command over the cur
rent of bis thougbt. lie spoke on quite freely and
easily, hardly ever repeated a word, never looked at
a note, ana oniy onoo returned to nnisn up a topio
from which he had deviated. He apologized for
not having eoino with a written discourse: It was
usual, and 'It would have been more comfbr'aele
for me just at prevent,' b it l e had Hied It and could
not satisfy him.-elt, aud 'as the spoken word comes
from the near .' be bad resolved to try that method.
What he said hi words will be learned otherwise
than irom me. I could not well desciheit; but I
do not think I ever heard any address thai I stiouid
be to nnwllling to blot Irom my memory. Not that
there was ranch in it that cannot be tound in bis
writings, or interred from them; but the manner of
the man was a key to the writings, aud for natural
nets and quint powor I have m vcr seen anything
to compare with it. He did not deal in ruetorlo.

like a patriarch about to leave the world to the

vo ce not a tone m it is ot tho shrill, fierce kind
that ono would expect it to bo In reading tho latter-day
t ampnleta There was not a trace of effort
or of affectation, or even of extravagance."
The first number of the new Southern maga
zine announced by us some time eincc, The
Crescent Monthly, has just mude its appearance,
bearing the imprint of William Evelyn, New
Orleans. It is a creditable specimen of typo
graphy, considering the limited resources of
the region in which it is published, and its
literary character is as high as we could ex
pect. It it be a hard thing to make t good
first number of a magazine or newspaper herd
where we have all facilities and most of the
talent of the country to choose from, what
must it be at the South, which was. never cele
brated for its writers, whose numbers for the
most part exceeded their genius ? The South,
indeed, in past times depended upon the North
and upon England for its literature; lor it was
generally content to devote its time and talents
to other things as the law and politics, which
we take to have been at once the excellence and
the defect ot the Southern mind. However this
may be, we hope that the war, which has
changed so many other things, has changed
this one also, and has Riven, or will soon
give, an impetus to letters among the Southern
people.
The London correspondent of the Bound Ta-
lie writes as follows:
"A poor book on an extremely interesting suhloct
is The JJie of Father Ignatius ol (it Paul. Passiou-
lst (the Hon. and iter. Ueorge Spencer). Complied
cmeny irom nis autooiograpny, journal, ana loiters,
by the ltev. Famer Pins a Sp. Kanoro, Passiouist.' I
once saw this reflaed, thin-laced, light-eyed man, in
his coarse monkish garb, barelooted, tonsured, aud,
remembering tho thousands who would sou tneir

feel moved with some admiration Kroue who for his
soul's sake (so he tnouirht and 'as a man bolioveth

Lord William Lennox, in his recently pub
lished volume of reminiscences, "Draits on
My Memory," relates a number of amusing anec
dotes of several notabilities with whom he came
in contact at one time and another; among
others Theodoie Hook, with whom he was on
terms of close intimacy. " At a dinner given by

The second number of the "Bookworm"
contains an amusing anecdote of how the Bev.
Mr. Brand, a well-known collector in his time,
spent Sunday In buying 'Caxtons," "Wynkyn
de Wordes," "Pynsons," and ."Lawrence An
drews," of an "'Ebrew Jew," forgetting, In the
enthusiasm ot the amateur and collector, his
duties as parish priest, and leaving his congre
cation to be dismissed by the beadle, the day
having slipped away without his knowing it, he
was so wraDt In the study of signatures, colo
phons, and other mysteries of the bibliographi
cal craft. 8uch a bookworm now-a-days would
soon have a "call" elsewhere, at least in this
countrv. where we have no fancy for leornsd
parsons.
Better than this u the following grim anec
dote of Fauntlcroy, the famous forger:
"A storv is toid of Faantleroy's last moments
which does not rtdound to the credit of all his

Lunel, imported by himself, and kept to hiiuse'f so

f hia nirin.t frtands came to .ake leave of him, aud
one outstayed the rest. 'Fauntleroy said tnis last

but all is in vain, and we have only to take leave of

Fauntleroy was rtsolute. He died, and made no

M. Hem, a writer In the Itevue Oontempo
ralne, states that forty per cent, upon its gross
profits is paid by every newspaper publisher! In
Fiance upon every number that it prints. The
tax of six centimes it imposed npon a Journal
of a given siV.o, but if tho proprietor wishes to
found a smaller and cheaper journal he must
still pay the same tax of six centimes. The
revenue thns obtained Is enormous, M. Iltrve
showing that a daily Journal printing 5000 copies
pays no less than 100,000 francs a year for the
mere privilege of existence.
A singular kind of work is in preparation
in England, a "Thesaurus Cranlorum," or cata
logue of skulls of the various races of man, In
the collection of the author, Mr. Joseph Barnard
Davis, which is said to be the result of many
ears' research and labor, and to contain be
tween fourteen and fifteen hundred specimens
of skulls and skeletons derived from every di
vision of the globe, and embracing representa
tives of the human races of most attainable
countries, as well as many of the islands of the
Indian and Pacific Oceans.
