AFTER DICKENS, WHO ?
From the Ijotiuville Journal
A lady correspondent asks na whether An
thony Trollope, Charles lleade, or Wilkie
Collina will i-ucceecl to the place at the head
of English fiction made vacant by the death
of Charles Dickens. This is a strange ques
tion to come from a woman, and shows oar
correspondent, if she will excuse the seeming
nngallantry of saying so, either illy read in
fiotitious literature or inappreciatire . in
judging its quality. No one with the least
critical insight would so much as consider the
claims of such, writers as Trollope. lleade,
and Coll ins 'in. Buch a connection. Trollope
is but a skilful photographer, not an artist
in any sense. lleade has no humor, ' and
Wilkie Collins is but a first-class police re
porter. Each in bis way has his raerits; but
these merits do not belong to the higher
sphere of genius. Dickens' successor on the
throne of English romance is a woman. The
chronicler of the midland homesteads,
the poet of the hedgerows,
''liberal homes of unmarketable
beauty," and the great corn-stacks in the
rick-yard, the busy scenes of the shuttle and
the wheel, of the roaring furnace, of the shaft
and the pulley" that lie "in the midst of the
large-ppaced, alow-moving life of homesteads
and far-away cottages and oak-sheltered
parks," ia the novelist of England who will
maintain the honor of current Anglo-Saxon
letters, to say nothing of their historio pres
tige, against Sue and Hugo and Auerbaoh.
There is no resisting, as there is no denying,
the power of the author of "Adam Bede,"
"The Mill on , the Floss," and "Romola."
Everybody recognizes the charm; of "the
neat or handsome parsonage and grey church
set in the midbt; the pleasant tinkle of the
blacksmith's anvil, the patient cart-horses
waiting at hi door; the basket-maker
peeling his willow wands in the sunshine;
the wheelwright putting the last touoh to
a bluei cart with red wheels; . here and
there a cottage with bright transparent
windows showing pots full of blooming bal
sams or geraniums, and little gardens in
front all double daisies or dark wall flowers;
at the well clean and comely women carrying
yoked buckets, and towards the free school
small Britons dawdling on and handling their
marbles in the packets of, unpatched cordu
roys adorned with brass' buttons. And in
contrast .with these , the dirty children and
languid mothers of the grimy towns "pious
Dissenting women, perhaps, who took life
patiently . and thought that salvation de
pended chiefly on predestination and not at
all on cleanliness.- The popular notion about
the excellence and brilliancy of the style
of George Eliot's novels .is, that it is
simply the excellence of a painter like
Teniers. i People talk of "Silas Marner" as
if there were nothing in it except Nancy
Lammeter and the famous meeting in the
parlor Of the inn; of the "Mill on the Floss,"
as if it were only a rural chronicle of Gleigs
and Dodsons and Tollivers; of "Adam Bede,"
as if it contained, no more than a photo
graphic reproduction of the life of midland
dairies and farm-houses and apple-orohards.
But besides these wonderful pictures there is
a vast well of poetry, philosophy, and human
nature, of wit and pathos, of dramatic fire
and action, which remind us of the old mas
ters. George Eliot is the successor of Charles
Dickens. , A woman stands to-day at the head
of English fictitious literature, the peer of
Tennyson ' and Mill, and greater than all
others. , i . .
, . ; BASEBALL. :
Voi the Harrisburg Topic,
The American people are perhaps the least
practical while the most industrious and en
terprising of all the people in the world.
We say the least practical because they are
the easiest led away in admiration of affairs
that have "nothing in them," that are men",
tricious, silly, even foolish, We are subject
to periodical passions for foolish thing, and
when a thing becomes a fashion, however
ridiculous it may, be, those, who refuse to
worship and commend it are at once set
down as the ignorant ones. We are led to
these remarks by ths returning base ball
fever, and its: counterpart croquet. If a
number of genteel idlers organize a base ball
club, and engage with other clubs in rival
ries which have no meaning, it is expected
that business should at once be suspended,
that the telegraph and the newspapers
should: .yield . all their - facilities (
to spread before the publio a result
which does not prove anything. The best
base-ball players in the world are men who
never did an honest day's labor in their
lives, yet such fellows 'will fry what little
-brains they have, in the heat of a summer
solstice, competing with bat and ball for a
superiority which does not add a feature ,to
society's good, physical powers of usefulness,
or moral dignity. .But it is fashionable.
That's enough. The men or man who does
an honest day's work where genius and art
and mechanism contribute to the wealth and
glory of the land, are not made half as repu
table by the telegraph and the press as is a
base-ball ' club. .; Our city contemporaries
would not advertise the most useful invention
unless they are paid , for it, and yet daring
the season they do not hesitate to force
on their readers columns of stuff 1 about
base-ball contests which are a bore to
all but those who were glorified thereby.
Without being accused of harshness, a
similar reference to those, who delight
to engage in croquet . is pot out of place.
We frequently see young ladies displaying
great muscular force in a game of croquet,
who would awoon at the base invitation to
sweep a parlor carpet or prepare the vegeta
bles for dinner. Herein is just where the
American people so often render themselves
ridiculous before the world. Oar amusements
are of the impracticable kind;' and when we
do engage in anything of a sportive character.
instead of making it subservient to good
sense, we outrage the latter quality and turn
ourtileasmes into dissipations. This base.
ball fever now amounts to a ridiculous din
play of petty vanities which claim to have a
monopoly of oar attention. American jour
nalism is to blame for this cultivation oz a
national bnobbitsLneua, and it is about time
that the telegraph were employed in furnishing
newspapers with intelligence of a more use
ful character than that of reports of base-ball
contests. '
Still another view of these base ball con
tent is that which reveals their criminal fea
tures. Whenever a great game is played, the
SDortina men and gamblers make it the
means of Diving their trade, until base ball
clubs are used by gamblers to rob the publio,
one club allowing the other to be victorious,
that the gamblers may be enabled to fleece
tbeir victims. Tart of this money goes for
paying tte expenses of the clubs in diinkia
and gluttony. It is also a fact that sometimes
those who are called expert players are the
mere hirelings of rich men, who use thera to
win or lone a game as their interests may
demand. ' From this, it will at once be seen
that what is called our national sport is only a
ppecies of individual degradation a game
liter's pursuit outraging athletic exercise and
insulting to the good manners of intelligent
people.
GENERAL BUTLER A FAILURE.
From the S. V. Herald.
We bad great hopes of General Butler in
Congress after his clever management of the
impeachment prosecution against Andy John
son. We thought for some time after that
affair that Butler, was the man to take ' the
place as "the great commoner" and leader of
the House, leit vacant oy "Via lhaa
Stevens." After a fair trial, however, he
must, as an aspirant for this position, be pro
nounced a failure. lie is a keen lawyer, he
has all the points, all the authorities, all the
precedents, and all the quirks and quibbles of
the law at his fingers' ends. He proved his
efficiency as a lawyer all through the war; and
if be was "bottled up"' as a soldier it was,
perhaps, because he undertook to miuage his
own army and the army opposed to him in the
field according to the rules of law laid down
by Blackstone as superior to the military
ideas ; of Napoleon. Butler, in short,
manoeuvred against Beauregard 'as a lawyers
and so Beauregard "bottled ' him. In Con
gress, however, where Rolid ability and the
tricks of the law and parliamentary strategy
and tactics carry the day, we had expected
Butler to achieve the first position, bcbehck,
however, by hard labor and self-possession
has got ahead of him: and Bingham, too,
always watching for his opportunity, is getting
ahead of "the gentleman from Massachu
setts.'' We have seen, over and over again,
that in a regular pitched battle in the
Houee, or in a sudden ' skirmish, with sharp
shooters blazing away all around him, Butler,
if he can only contrive to keep cool, is equal
to the emergency and a match for the best of
them. - We have seen, however, from time to
time, as in the late affair with 'Farns worth,
that Butler cannot alwats keep cool; that, in
fact, he is too apt to fly off the handle and
cnoil his case bv crettina into a fit of ridicu
lous indignation, which trips him up and lays
him out flat as a flounder.
From . this weakness we have been disap-
!)ointed in our. great expectations ' of out
er; yea,' grievously disappointed. He fails
to come up to the mark of "Old Thad. Ste
vens." He can't begin to do it. Wnat a
tremendous old fellow was "Old Thai" in his
quiet way ! He was competent to lead the
men , around him, by the nose, because he
knew how to govern himself. He was a man,
too, of strong passions, and terrible ia his
wrath; but he was not the man to get up a
tempest in a teapot, with himself in the tea
pot. 1 He knew how to disarm his antagonist
in the fiercest attack by turning the laugh
upon him.' as Butler himself did on one
happy occasion with his ''"shoo fly."
It JseemB strange that an elderly, big-hea led
and t bald-headed Massachusetts lawyer,
like Butler, should not be' equal to this
sort of thing on all occasions. Bat he isn't.
Farnsworth catches him napping, and he
becomes on his ' dignity fiddlesticks as
fussy and ferocious as a .fire-eater, or as a
school-boy caught with a contraband water
melon. 'We are sorely distressed at this affair.
It places our champion, Butler, in the di
lemma of General Scott, when he was
"caught with his breeches down." What are
we to do? "I am afraid," as honest Old Abe
is credited with saying of another man, "I
am afraid that our man is not as big as our
measure, and that we must take him down a
peg or two." Accordingly, we agree that But
ler, incompetent to control himself, is, with
all his great capabilities, reduced in Congress
to the grade of an irresponsible bushwhacker,
whose only safety, as at Bermuda Hundred,
is under the wing of General Grant.
STOP SQUANDERING , THE . PUBLIO
LAND.
Prom the X. V. Tribune.
The sooner this land-grant business for rail
roads is now stopped the better. The other
day the Senate wrangled for weary hours over
a proposition to give a solid block of publio
lands, buy miles wide and two to three nun
dred miles long, to comparatively useless
local railroads one of them running through
out almost its entire lengtu within ten or
twelvejmilea of the other. A Senate that can do
this can do anything. - W e appeal to the
House to watch for and put its foot squarely
on this bill. For the rest, we ask . that the
only remaining great through railroad to the
Pacific be generously treated, and that there
this giving away of the publio lands to cor
porations be brought to a peremptory stop.
We do not care to argue the question with
which the Senate dawdled away the day,
about the legal claim of the Central Branca
Kansas Facifio Railway to Government bonds
beyond the amount already issued. We do
not believe it has such a claim, either legal
or equitable; and the benate, more than onoe
or twice, 'has formally recorded the same
opinion. But if it has, we are utterly and
unalterably opposed to bo costly a mode of
extinguishing it. liet every tub stand on its
own bottom. Let the railaoad enforce its
claim to the bonds. If it can make the claim
good it will get them. We can better afford
to pay the bonds thrice over than consent to
the threatened alternative.
For it is nothing less than the overthrow of
the whole judicious system on which grants
or lands lor puDiio improvements have
hitherto been made, that is threatened. We
have consistently and most ' heartily favored
the great grants . Hitherto liberally awarded,
We believe that every one of them has added
as much to the available area of our publio
lands as it has taken away. It is a case where
giving has not impoverished where the half
that remained was better than the original
whole, 1 ine . raiiroaas ouut by this means
have opened vast regions to travel and trade,
have made settlements possible, and brought
the market to the pioneer's door. Every
acre or public land within a huodrei
miles i of the Union Pacific, between
Omaha and Promontory, was doubled
in value to the Government by the wise gift
tha t made the railroad possible. Bat the
whole system depends for its virtue, for its
very essence, upon the rigid reservation of the
alternate sections. Abandon that, and you
convert it irom a oenencent clvillzer, dot-
ting the prairie with villages and oaverina:
the plains with waving grain, to a monstrous
incubus, a monopoly of land in speculators
hands, a wall that will torn aside settlements
more effectually than ever the Chinese wall
repelled the advancing Tartars. That thing
the Senate Las consented to do in the case
of a local road of insignificant importance,
We prv the House to atop this bill; bat.
above all, we pray House and Senate to put a
peremptory baa upon the baneful principle
it promises to introduce, xi we caauot pre
serve alternate sections for actual settlers,
let us preserve all. Better be without rail
roads for the accommodation of settlers than
without settler, within twenty-five miles of
the railroads. We can afford to dispense
with these local roads for the present; we
cannot afford to dispense with the lands for
our pioneers. The policy of the Senate is
fatal; we entreat the liouse to resist it at the
outset. i '
FIREWORKS IN THE SENATE.
From the S. T. Times.
The Senate has joined in the general pas
time of letting off fire-crackers. It has just
prepared five for the especial benefit of the
insurgents in Cuba. Like other composi
tions or the same kind, they will splutter
and "fizz" for a brief space, and then be no
more seen or heard. Mr. Snmner can be
almost aa skilful as Mr. Banks in the manu
facture, of these noisy but usoless articles.
when he is in the mind. His hand is very
plainly to be seen . in the new Cuban
resolutions reported from the Committee
on Foreign Relations. The rhetoric of
the resolutions is striking, although the
grammar is defective a fault which may
perhaps be ascribed to the heat of the
weather. Jaded Senators are apt to nv in the
face of Lindley Murray when the dog-days
are close upon them.
The principal objection to these new reso
lutions is that they commit Congress to an
interposition in foreign affairs which would
be ntterlv without purpose or effect. The
voice of the United States ought never to be
raised in vain. If Congress is to interfere.
let it interfere in a manner worthy of the
nation which it assumes to represent. The
system of "meddling and muddling only
tends to weaken our influence abroad, and
conpequently cannot possibly help any cause
in which we may happen to be interested.
Mr. Sumner's resolutions amount to nothing
more than a protest which may instantly be
shelved by the power to which it is addressed.
This is frittering away the influence right
fully possessed bv Congress. If we cannot
give any assistance to the : cause of Cuban
independence,, we need not go out of our
way to weaken those with whom we profess to
pympalbise. .. ., '
The didactic tone 01 the resolutions is very
nearly enough to kill them. "In the name
of humanity they (the people of the United
States) solemnly ' insist that these things
shall cease. "Instead of terminating this
pretension at once, the Spanish Government
propose to protect it for an indefinite period
by an impossible system of gradualism.
The last sentence may well puzzle all the
wise men of Spain. What is the use of ad
dressing a remonstrance to . a foreign power
couched in the tone of a stump speech ? The
sentiment which Is at the bottom of .the
resolutions is admirable. But .Mr. Sumner
might have put in ten lines all that he has
spun out into a hundred. This style of
"preaching at bpain is worse than nonsen
sical. Congress ought to do more than pass
windy resolutions, or else do nothing at all.
While the subject 13 thus being trifled with,
we learn that the Spanish authorities in
Cuba have been suddenly seized with a great
anxiety to keep clear of awkward complica
tions with American citizens. They have not
arrived at that frame of mind a day too soon.
We had submitted to as much abuse of their
power as we could well bear. Henceforth a
severe reparation will be exacted for every
outrage committed upon men who can law
fully claim the protection of our flag.
TERRIBLE ' SWEEP OF THE FOUR-
, TEENTH AMENDMENT. .
From the If. Y. Sun.
Judge Bradley of the United States Su
preme Court made a very remarkable appli
cation of some of the provisions of the four
teenth amendment, while recently holding
the Circuit Conrt in New Orleans.
About a year ago the Legislature of Louisi
ana passed an act forbidding the slaughtering
of animals in and around New Orleans, except
at ppecihed points and under certain regula
tions. The same act created a corporation,
called "The Crescent City Live Stock Landing
and slaughter House Company, and con
ferred upon it the exclusive privilege of
carrying on the business of slaughtering cattle
within the prescribed .limits, though it was
made the duty of the company to slaughter
cattle for any person on the payment of a
small fee. , . ' ' . .
Suits for violating the corporate privileges
of this company finally reached the United
States Court, and a bill in equity was there
filed to restrain the company from exercising
its privileges under the act,, on the ground
that it was unconstitutional. Judge Bradley
overruled the decision of the State Courts
which had sustained the validity of the act,
and he held that it conflicted with those pro
visions of the fourteenth amendment which
declare that no State shall make or enforce
any law which shall abridge the privileges or
immunities of citizens of the United btates;
nor shall any State deprive any persons . of
life, liberty, or property, without due prooesa
of Jaw; nor. deny to any person within its
jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws,
ue also Held that the uivu JXights bill gave
the Federal Courts the authority to enforoe
those provisions of the amendment. " And
therefore he pronounced the Louisiana law
unconstitutional, and issued an injunction
againBt the company.
The question m whether this novel decision
can stand fire, it has produced great com
motion in New Orleans, Judge Dibble, of one
of the ' local courts, declaring that if it is
sound law, then "Wendell Phillips' construc
tion of the Government ia true, and the
States are reduoed to mere counties.". At all
events, if it is affirmed,' then doubtless a
good deal of the legislation of the States,
and many or the ordinances or our cities,
will come within the range of the fourteenth
amendment.
Let monopolists of all grades hasten to
make their peace with Judge JJradJey by aban
doning their exclusive privileges. Big Six is
especially in danger. What if we could get
an injunction to deprive . Tammany of power
to rob the people of this city y ; , .
' ' POLITICAL QUIET. "
From the London Haturdat Review.
In agitated times everything is agitated,
and in quiet times everything is quiet. Why
this is no one can exactly say, but the truth
of it is apparent to every one. Things are
very quiet just now. Causes of rupture do
sot lead to ruptures, and insurrections do not
create much terrror, a or disappointments
much regret. If a little wild en art is made
here and there, it is snuffed out as if it were
the mere explosion of a cigar-light. In Canada,
a general goaded into action by the reproaches
of maid-servants led his t emans to the fight,
until he was whipped off the scene by a bum,
ble American official, who, with the aid of 1
couple of followers, swept him away in a
fly. In Italy, a most incomprehensible per.
son, of the name of Nathan, appears to have
descended from Switzerland, and led for
ward a fiery band of wild people, exactly aa
if they,. were tne chorus in an opera,
to the overthrow of the Italian Government;
but finding that the Italian Government de
clined to be overthrown, be gave bis chorus
ten franca a bead, and sent them home again
In Portugal there really has been a revolu
tion, and a successful one; but then, it was
all got over before breakfast, and the chief
anxiety of the King appears to have been that
the revolution should not wake , the Queen
before she was ready to get up. A revolution
so contrived as cot to wake a Queen, irt, if
possible, something more quiet than no revo
lution at alL In Spain, an indefinite inter
regnum, ordinarily the worst and most dan-
geroua of political states, appears to do no
arm, and to be compatible with a curious
amount of lazy, quiet, and gentle politioal
excitement. In France, the Emperor has
within the last few months thwarted, en
couraged, obeyed, and baffled Imperial Libe
ralism, according to his guesses at what would
suit him best, and yet no one is very much
eet against him by his conduct or very much
drawn towards him. At Rome the Pope is
going to invent a new dogma said to in
volve awful consequences and the vast ma
jority of Europeans look on with wonder and
good-natured contempt. Lastly, here at
home, the Upper House, an assembly com
posed almost entirely of great landowners, is
about to discuss a measure until lately pro
nounced to be subversive of the best and
holiest rights of property, and the only ques
tion is whether any of them will think it
worth while to oppose the second reading.
Certainly we have fallen on quiet times, and
nothing seems able to break the quiet; and
yet how short a time is it since everwhere
great shocks of . Changs' bad begun or were
expected, since the sun of England was an
nounced ts positively going to Bet in gore,
and since Germany, France, and Italy were
supposed to be trembling on the verge of
war, and Mr. Beales and his friends were
tearing down our railings. ' -
What are the reasons of this reign of peace
through almost the whole of the civilized
world ? Probably it is only a momentary
reign, but still its existence, even if acci
dental and temporary, is remarkable. The
obvious reply is, that material interests not
only bind nations together every year more
atd more, but that they occupy a larger share
of the time and attention of persons of every
rank and calling in each nation. Political
power tends constantly to fall into the hands
of busy men, and busy men wish politics so
to go on that their business shall, if possible,
not be interrupted. Of all nations i? ranee
has been the most changed by the absorption
of its activity in industrial and commercial
enterprise; and it is. true, to an extent of
which Frenchmen ' are- proud, that when
France is content Europe , is at rest.
The French can do so very much mischief
if they are in a mischievous mood, that it is
of primary importance that they should have
innocent work provided for their idle hands
to do. Ine revolutionary classes are also
getting more discredited as common people
begin to understand better what misery their
success would cause, and as the better of
their members become ' interested in the
working and maintenance of that which
exists by the wider diffusion of political life.
The recent plebiscite in France shows the
frantic zealot ordinary 1 renchmen tor any
man and any political system that simply
offers them safety. And the number of per
sods who dread war and revolution, not only
in their own country, but in the world in
general, is continually increasing. The enor
mous and incessant creation of foreign loans,
for example, which excites and attracts the
speculative publio, binds over a new number
of persons from week to week to watch over
the peace of the world. Within the last few
days Englishmen have been invited with great
success r to stake considerable sums on the
continuance of peace, good government, and
prosperity in bpam, ltoumania, and rem
The notion widely . prevails, and is in the
main well grounded, that it is better to trust
governments than any private companies,
and experience shows that men who will dis
appoint every other hope with the most ready
carelessness shrink to the last extremity be
fore the terrors of national repudiation. Bat
the peace that now prevails everywhere rests
also on something more creditable to man
kind than the speculations and anxieties of
private peceniary interests. The chief conn
tries of the world are quiet because they
have all, with scarcely any exception,
got : recently something that - they
wanted. Their ' desires for change nave
been satsified. They can repose with some
sort of dignity and satisfaction to themselves.
Germany and Italy have made themselves,
and recoil from anything that would tend to
unmake them. t Spain .manages its affairs in
a very cccentrio way, but at any rate it - has
managed to give the Bourbons and the priests
a very severe lesson.. The United States may
well pride themselves on' the courage and
pertinacity with which they fought oat their
great fight, on the vast resources they dis
played, and on the enlightened patience of
taxation which they have manifested. In
England we have had a Reform bill, and we
have done away with the Irish Church.
The .first has contributed to political
peace, partly by .. stopping " the agita
tion of reformers, but Still more by
placing the nation in harmony with its repre
sentative assembly. The weary time of com
plete Parliamentary ineptitude, when scarcely
anything could be proposed, and very little
of that which was proposed could be carried,
is over; and the nation finds once more in
the House of Commons an instrument of
effective and bold legislation. The disesta
blishment of the Irish Church has taken
away from Englishmen that barrier between
themselves and justice to Ireland which
made all salutary legislation for Ireland im
possible. Great things have been done; and
if.it is natural to feel satisfied that they have
been done, and if there is a calm now in
which English statesmen .may rejoice, it cer
tainly has been attained alter very "arduous
efforts, and in spite of the gravest difficulties.

' All tbe leading medical authorities recsgnizo tbe value
of diffusive stimulants. ' Numerous eminent physicians
nd surgeons might be namsd who have advooated their
employment in the treatment of a large class of disorders.
No Dispensary is considered complete without them.
Thy are pretoribed in all public and private hospitals,
and administered by all bedside practitioners.
But the difficulty has been to obtain '
Alcoholic Liquors Pure.
The pungent aroma of the fusel oil and biting acids pre
sent in all of them oan be scented as the glass is raised to
the lips. The nauseous flavor of these aotive poisons is
perceptible to tbe palate, and a burning sensation in the
stomach attests their existenoe when the noxious draught
has gone down. Paralysis, idiooy, insanity and death are
the pernicious fruits of such potations.
Medical science asks lor a pure stimulant to use as a
pecifie, whioh, while it diffuses itself through the system
more rapidly than any other known agent, is brought into
direct and active oontaot with the seat of disease. It ia
the property of the stimulant to diffuse, and by the aid of
its peculiar nutritious component parts to invigorate,
regulate, counteract and restore, and it is by the happy
union of tbe principle of activity with the principle of in-
vigoration and restoration that enables
flUUJti WHISKY
To accomplish benefioial results. ' '
Having great experience in the distilling of Whiskies,
and the largest and best equipped establishment of its
kind in the country, supplied with the latest improve
ments in apparatus for cleansing Whisky of fusel oil and
other impurities, and by strict personal supervision, the
proprietors of , .

And can be relied upon to be strictly as represented,

cal chemists of this city, whose certificates of its purity
and fitness for medical purposes are Appended.

themselves we ask a rigid anal sis.
