Till- Decline f Literature.
1 From (lit guhirtlit) K<-v|o,
"The stage i fashionable, science if
j fashionable, art in fashionable, but lit
eruture it nut fashionable," an acute
American critic of English society wrote
last year. Is it not true, and, what is
more, does not literature deserve tfiat
•it should be true? The people who
I "please the town," as old wrilt-is say,
j are not, in tiie old sense, men of letter's.
these used to fie the wits; now the
j wits are painters, actors, newspaper re-
J porters curried to a higher journalistic
| power, or popular preachers. Litera
ture lias ceased to he witty, and there
fore, and naturally, it has ceased to I.A
fashionable. It may seeni paradoxical
to talk of the decline of literature ut a
| time when "of making many books
I there is no end." Rut that sentence ot
i the Wise Man's contains the veiy gist
j of the charge against modern Knglish
literature. Authors are, indeed, husy
"making hooks" rather than witli lit -
I erary composition in the true and old
I sense of the words. A glance at the
j most popular books of eaeh season will
j prove the truth of this pessimistic asser
j lion. The books that succeed best,
i apart of course from sermons, are of
J four or five classes, and are chiefly forms
lof journalism. There arc pamphlets or
tracts, big or little, on "questions of the
day." Such works, for example, as the
I'uke of Aigyll's "Iteign of .Jaw" (as it
I has been unkindly styled; about the
I Afghan question are on the same foot
ing as the newest and most advanced
or most reactionary theological specula
-1 lion. These tilings are really pamph
lets ; they are written for the minute,
rather than for the hour or tlie day, or
we tnay say tlint they are monumental
leading articles, and they live hut for
i the life of a leading article.
1 fie second of the great classes of
modern books which are not literature
consists of "picturesque reporting"—
or re|Krtage, a* the French conteinptu
ously call it—in disguise. Then there
is the mass of works of fiction which
are in no sense works ot art. Again
there are the countless manuals and
hand books which are published in
"series." Mr. Toaer. the dissenting
hutterman in St!eta < "l.aprt, said that
the congregation liked a "coure" of
sermons. Apparently the public also
like* a "series," and there are few his
torical, scientific, literary, or even phil
osophical field* on which many flocks
of "series" are not browsing. Setting
apart the journalistic work of big
, pamphlet.*, ot loug "specials," of novels
j which aie pot boilers, and of manuals
i and primers, how much literature is
| left among the hook* of a year ? AI is,
j it would be a short and invidiou* calcu
lation that settled this question. <tul of
j about two hundred volumes of poetry,
| | the topic of poetry i* 100 painful to be
; fully discussed,) out of some nine hun
dred novels, and a few collections of
j essays, to which 1*79 gave birth, how
■many will be remembered in lhk'J?
; Kvery one may make the reckoning for
j himself. Kvery one knows whether
modern life is made more brilliant, and
whether it is likely to be made more
perruaneul, by modem literature. Per
haps not more than two or three men
with the true literary gift have in late
year* gone down into the market-place,
and lighted up with their wit the bu-i
-neas and the questions of the day. In
I science some have distinguished them
selves thus; in |>olitics and social dis
cussion we can only think of the name
of the author of "Friendship's Oarland."
i The causes of the decline ol literature
j are not fur to seek. Hurry and impa
tience, and the crowd of commercial
J and scientific interests, leave no lime
| for the delicate sense of pleasure in ex
quisite workmanship, in language truly
just and appropriate, in polish of style,
in vivacity of wit, in the humor which
should never l>e absent from discussion.
Literature can only recover its place
when the world regains it# leisure.
Romantic Swindler*.
Tit* VOIJNO AND l*At TIITI, AMERICAN WO
MAN WIIO "Din" Til* ROMAN SIIOIS.
KSBPKRS,
From tlir Set Yi" A Tnl-.tu.
A singular story of wholesale swind
ling and inconceivable credulity come*
from Rome. About a year ago a young
and beautiful woman, believed to be an
American, and credited with the pos
session of an enormous fortune, arrived
in the Italian capital, accompanied by
a young man belonging Jo one of the
oldest and most distinguished Roman
families, and by a monkey. She had no
other traveling companions. Shortly
after her arrival she waa married to the
young aristocrat, whose name the Ital
ian |>ap ra conceal under the title of
Signor X. The couple went upon a
wedd>ng tour, and spent money with
lavish hands. They selected the city
of Portici for their home, saying that
they wished to live in retirement while
awaiting the completion of msdame'R
twenty fifth year, when she would come
into possession of her fortune, snd
would receive six millions of dollars.
Kvery one was ready to give credit to
such a great heiress. A Roman gentle
msn, in whose villa the couple lodged,
loaned them 50,000 francs, and guar
antced payment for 150.000 francs'
worth of jewelry which they bought in
Naples. They made debts among the
Neapolitan merchants and bankers to
the amount of 700,000 francs.
In Rome they victimized the hop
keepers heavily for diamonds, corals,
costly furs and other potable articles
of high price. Nothing seemed too
costly, provided they could get credit
for it. They even had the handles of
parasols and umbrellas set with precious
stone*. They contracted to buy the
\ ilia Mirafiori for 700,000 francs, bought
•even carriages and forty horaea, and
ordered a private railway car and a
yacht. Within a year they managed to
make debta to the extent of over half a
million of dollars. The date fixed for
payment waa in all cases the first of
March. In February the couple went
to Paris and then to London, a move
ment that seems to have excited no
| suspicion among their creditors; but
|on the first of March new* came to
j Rome that they had gone to America,
taking with tlirin an immense quantity
lof baggage. A few day after a banker
| in Rome received a letter from the
{ husband, saying flint the will making
, his wilt- u rich beiies* had been set
! aside, und that they had gone to
! America, hoping with perseverance and
{indefatigable effort to regain the posi
j tion they, had occupied in the world.

The saddest phase of this coast
probably of all gold ar.d silver mining
• regions—is the absence of homes. We
| mean real homes, whose founder laid
the tir*t heartstoue and made the first
1 clearing with the thought that on that
spot lie was to do lit* life's work, and
' there, at last, amid familiar scenes,
1 sink into that sleep that is final. The
■ absence of this disposition lias made
| nomad* of the men of thi* coast. They
came hero originally with the thought
that in a little while they would re
turn und make the home of their future
in the lands of their birth. Could the
air-rustle* which have been erected in
> thought by men on this coast, while
i lying in hunk* ill rude cabins, or in
blanket* around camp-fires, be woven
into a picture, what a city it would
make. Hut the year* have stolen by ;
except in isolated cases the bewitching
dreams have never been realized, and
j while the hoped for home* were never
huilded buck in the Und of their child
hood-, neither, ala, have they been
huilded here, We do not mean to say
that there are not plenty of families
living in what they call home*. Rut
: those who have homes which were
created with the expectation that they
i would he permanent, that in and about
them was to be hoarded the gathered
I treasure of a life time are very few. This
j might, perhaps, he expected here in
j the desert, hut the same is true of t'al
ifoinia, especially in the country. As a
j rule, the farmhouses of California and
their surroundings are perpetual sign* of
i "For sa'le." On many of those farms
men and families have lived for a quar
ter of a century, and still it has never
been home in any rightful sense of the
, word. There has never been a time
that the husband and fa'her has not
; intended to sell out in the course of a
tew months, and never a lime that the
family has not hoped that he would.
t ircusshiii Story of a hi**.
! fr'n hi ClmiHlwfV Jotiriint.
A man was walking along one road
anil a woman along another. The road*
finally united into one, and reaching
i the |*>int of junction at the same time
they walked on together. The man
; was carrying a large iron kettle on his
i hack ; in one hand he held the legs of
i a live chicken ; in the other a cane;
and he was leading a goat. They near
jed a dark ravine. Said the woman :
| "i in atruid to go through tiiat ravine
' w'ith you | it's a lonely place and you
: might overpower lue and kiss me by
j force." Said the man : "flow can I po*r
' bly o\ei jHisei you and kiss you by force,
wlien 1 have this iron kettle on iriy
back, a cane in one band, a live chicken
in the other, and am leading this goat ?
I might as well he tied band and foot."
"Yes, replied the woman. "Rut if you
■ should stick the cane in the ground
| and tie \our goat to it, and turn the
i kettle bottom *ide up and put the
| chicken under it, then you might
! wickedly kiss me in pite of my resiat
|an re." "Success to ttiy ingenuity, O
! woman!" said the man, rejoicing to
himself. "J should never have thought
i of this similar tXpedient." And when
i lie came to the rat ine, he stuck Ins cane
| into the ground and tied the goat to it.
1 gave the chicken to the woman, saying :
| " Hold it while f cut some gra** tor the
goal;" and then—so runs the legend
lowering the kettle from hia shoulder,
he put the fowi under it, and wickedly
kissed the woman, a* she was afraid he
would.
The I'hilosopher'* Stone.
The eccentric but brilliant John Ran
dolph once roM suddenly up in hi* seat
in the House of Representative* and
screamed out at the top of hi* shrill
voice:
"Mr. Speaker! I have discovered the
philosopher's stone. It la—pay as you
8° I"
John Randolph dropped many rich
gem* from his mouth, hut never a rich
er one than that.
•Tay as go," and vou need not dodge
sherifl* and constables.
"Pay as go." and you can walk the
streeta with an erect back and manly
front, and you have no fear of those
you meet. You can look any man in
the eye without flinching. You won't
have to crone the highway to avoid a
dun, or look intently into the ehop win
dows to avoid seeing a creditor.
•Tay a* you go," and you can snap
your fingers at the world, and when you
laugh it will be an hearty, honest one.
It seeina to us, sometimes, that we can
tell the laugh of a poor debtor. He
looks as though be was in doubt wbeth
er the laugh was not the property of bis
creditors, and was not iucluded in ar
ticle# "exempted frohi attachment."
When he does succeed in getting out
an abortion—he appears trigbtaned
and looks as though be would be bouoc
ed upon by a constable.
'Tay aa you go," and yon will meet
smiling faces at home—happy, cherry
cheeked children—a contented wife
cheerful hearth-stone.
John Randolph waa right. It is the
philosopher's *ter,~.
A Baby Bona Beneath the Alps,
From (lMnt Corr<j-o.l-*,r Umdna Tim**.
The St. Oothard Tunnel, the longest
in the world, in the construction ef
which more live* have been lost than in
any other similar undertaking, has now
acquired the uniquddiatinction of being
the scene of a birth. According to the
Vrnen Zritunp, a woman went into the
tunnel one day last week to see her
husband, who waa working there, when
the heat and tho'sights of the place
brought on prematurely the pains of
labor, and she waa safely delivered of a
fine child. Mother end child ere said
to be doing a* well a* could be expected.
The workmen at the Airolo aide of the
tuntwl arc? more from oiooko
an<l heat than they wer before the
meeting of the galleries. Owing to ih
north outlet being at a lower level than
the south, the atmospheric pressure i
greater there than at the other end.
Hence there it a constant current of air

If the sanitary effect* of tea upon the
! system are so great and wholesome, it*
effect* since it* general introduction
among Occidental* cannot be over
looked. The domeatic, quiet life and
; habit* ol the Chinese owe much of their
strength to the conalanl use of tbia
beverage, for the weak infusion which
they Hip allow* them to upend all the
| lime they ebonite at the tea table. If
they were in the habit of sipping even *
their weak whiskey in the same way,
misery, poverty, quarrels, and sickness
would take the place of thrift, quiet and
i industry. "I he general tetn|>eratace seen
. among them is owing to the tea much
more than any other cause. One who
remember* the carousing* described in
• Scott 'a novels, and compare* those
scenes with what would now be consid
ered good society, will acknowledge an
improvement, and tea ha* had much to
do with it. One of Wilson's atories in
"Lights and Shadow* of Scottish I.ife,"
of the same date, about eighty yean
ago, make* one of the charactei* lay
great sires* on the complete disuse of
tea as one of the prime means of sue
, cess in life. Hut it hart won its way
more and more, till in the present
I generation the association* that cluster
| around the tea table form an integral
| part of the social life among Lnglish
' speaking people*. One of the most
likely means to restrict the use of spirits
| among them i* to substitute the use of
warm beverages of all kinds by those
whose system has not become vitiated.
I think tea is one of the greatest bene
fits to the Chinese, Japanese and Mon
gol*, and it* universal use, for at least
fifteen centuries, throughout their terri
tories, has proven it* satisfaction a* a
hervine, a stimulant and a beverage. If
one passing through the street# of
I'ekin, Canton, or < 'hosaka, and seeing
the good-natured hilarity of the group*
of laborers and loiterers around the
cha-kwatu and the c/ui-yat of those cities,
doubts the value of tea a* a harmonizer
and satisfier of human wants and pas
sions, it must be taken as a proof of his
own unsatisfied cravings.

There i but one state executioner in
the vast Russian realm, and he is a
pardoned malefactor named F roioff,
who in the good old pre Nihilistic days,
when the alsdilion of capital punish
ment was still maintained in Moscovy,
I committed three successive murder*
and was condemned to penal servitude
for life. When, however, revolutionary
successes rendered the services of air
j imperial hangman indispensable to the
Ministry of Justice, Froloff volunteered
for the office on condition that an am
nesty for his (tast misdeeds should be
1 granted to liitn. II is offer was accepted,
| and lor some time past he has been a
| busy man. For every "function" he
; receive* 40 ailver roubles—about £6
sterling —from the Russian Exchequer,
hut that official fee by no mean* repre
sents the total emolument he derive#
i froui the practice of hi* gruesome hand
! i era It, for he is permitted to trade upon
the superstition still current in Russian
society re*jecting the luck conferred
upon gamester* by tbe i-osaeasion of a
morsel of the rop>e with which a human
being ha* l*en strangled, either by tbe
i hand of justice or by hi* own. Imme
diately after young Mladetrky bad been
hanged, only the other day, Froloff was
surrounded by member* of the Russian
I yuntMt doree eager to purchase scrap* of
; the fatal noose; and be disposed of
, several dozen such talismans at from
three to five roubles apiece, observing,
with cynical compdacency, wbeu be hail
sold off his last remnant, that "he
boped the Nihilist* would yet bring him
in plenty of money." There is, indeed.
, every prospiect, if tbe Melikoff regime
only last long enough, that Froloff will

We publish the following synopsis of
the law relating to strays, as a general
answer to frequent inquiries for infor
| mation in reference to it:
Any person taking up a stray must
give notice to the Town Clerk, with
marks, within four days; neglect to do
so subjects him to a fine of $5. Neglect
to give notice to the owner, If known,
work* forfeiture of all damage*, anil
entitle* the owner to tbe stray, without
recompense to the party injured. The
Town Clerk for making entry of stray
shall receive for eech head of bono
kind, .10 cents ; each head of cattle, 21
cents; for every sheep, 6 cents, to be
paid by tbe person delivering said no
tice. If the owner does not appear
within ten day* after a stray shall bo
taken up, it must be advertised in one
iwper published in the rounty; If no
paper is published in tbe county, then
by six handbills, written or printed.
If the owner doee not appear within
•ixtv days after advertisement baa been
made, the person taking up the stray
can make application to a justice of tbe
peace for a warrant to a constable to
sell it. The constable roust give ten
days' notice, in three or more public
' places In the township, and after sale he
must return to the justice, who, after
liayraent of all reasonable charges,
damages and ooat of keeping tbe stray,
shall pay over the surplus, if any, to the
county treasury. If the owner shall
ap|ier within one year after sale, and
prove ownerahip, the said justice, or
any other in the county, shall oertify
the same to the oounty treasurer, who
shall pay to the owner tbe whole
amount of the surplus. If the owner
doee not appenr within the year be is
debarred from all righta in the matter,
in March, 1858, the provisions of the
•tray law were extended to raulea.
