Sixteen additional pages are given with the
March number of the Galaxy, which is one
of the very best we recollect. This generosity
allowß us to have at once a part of the con
clusion of Mrs. Austin’s “Cipher, and the
beginning of Charles Reade’s novel, long ago
promised to open with the Spring. The latter,
&b the literary event of the dull season, will
be examined With interest by reading people.
It is called “Put Yourself in Hiß Place." The
present moment, when Reade’s early works
are being revived in the public mind by the
new edition of Fields, Osgood & 00., is an
advantageous one for comparing his pristine
with his later style—the one so brilliant, dog
matic and boyish, the latter still ejaculatory
but mellowed. Our readers will want a taste
of the new story, and we will select ©race
Carden’s first lesson in carving under Henry
Littlejtbe latter,whom we suppose is to be the
hero of the novel, is the son of a lady who
bas impoverished herself by a misalliance;
the high family estate from which he
falls is indicated by the character of his
mother’s brother Guy, a type of rural exclu
siveness and nobility, —a creature like a palm
tree, wfio cannot endure towns, and has the
habit of approaching Hillsborough furnished
with two antidotes, a bible and a bottle of
lavender water, to read and sprinkle while
exposed to the contamination. Henry, de
prived of family interest and advantage, has
no notion of “twiddling his thumbs and howl
ing ‘We have seen better days.’ ” He goes
through a Birmingham education in cutlery,
returns to Hillsborough, his native place, has
to undergo the menaces of the trades-unions
of the town, and meantime falls in love with
Grace—to the following tune:
A PAIE OF CHARLES ItEADE's LOVEBB.
Henry asked for a high wooden stool, or
chair, and said it would be as well to pin
some newspapers over the carpet. A high
stool was soon got from the kitohen, and Jael
went primptly down on her knees, and
crawled about, pinning the newspapers in a
large square. . ,
Henry stood apart, superior, and thought
to himself: “Bo much for domestic servitude.
What a position for a handsome girl—creep
ing about on all fours!”
When all was ready, he drew Borne Ara
besque forms with his pencil on the board.
He then took an exquisite little saw he had
invented for this work, and fell upon ine
board with a rapidity that, contrasted with
bis previous nonchalance, looked like fury.
Bnt he was one of your fast workmen. The
lithe saw seemed to twist in his hand like a
serpent, and in a very short time he had
turned four feet of the board into open work.
He finished the edges off with his cutting
tools, and there was a transformation as com
plete as of linen doth turned into lace.
Grace was delighted. “Shall I ever be
able to do that ?”
“In half a day. That’s not carving; that s
trickery. The tool does it all. Before I in
vented this saw,a good workman would have
been a dav over that; bnt now you can do it
in half an'hour, when you are master of the
instrument. And now I’ll show you honest
work.” He took one of the knobs and ex
amined it; then sawed off a piece, and worked
on the rest so cunningly with hiß various cut
ters, that it grew into a human face before
their very eyes. He even indicated Jael
Pence’s little flat cap by means at once sim
ple and ingenious. All the time he was
working the women’s eyes literally absorbed
him: only those of Grace flashed vivid curi
osity, Jael’s open orbs were fixed with admi
ration and awe upon his sunernatural clever
ness.
He now drew some more Arabesques on
the remaining part ot the board,and told Miss
Catden she must ('. How those outlines with
the saw, and he would examine her work on
Morday moiniDg. He then went off with a
qirtk independent air, as one whose every
mirnte was gold.
“It you please, Miss,” said Jael, “is he a
real woikiDg man, or only a gentleman as
makes it his paBB-time?”
“A gentleman ! What an idea! Of course
he is a working man. But a very superior
perfon.”
“To be sure,” continued Jael, not quite
convinced, “he don’t oome up to bcpiire
Baby; but, dear heart, he have a grander way
with him than most of the Hillsborough
gentlefolks as calls here. ” .
“Nonsense!” said Grace, authoritatively.
“Look at his nails.”
From the next article,Mr. Eugene Benson’s
notice of Curtis, we copy a very just word
about the graceiul editor of Harper's
Weekly :
MR. CTKTIB
Is a mild contemporary; he is never vul
gar; never hostile to anything but bad taste,
bad principles, and brutish people. Do I
paint a man deficient in energy? Mr. Curtis
is not a type of the compact and inflammable
mind that must burst forth in aggressive and
arresting words. There is no jet of flame in
hie style. I cannot even say that his person
ality is invigorating. 1 oome in contact with
his mental being to be harmonized and molli
fied. The asperity of our New England cli
mate is neither in his mind nor in his tem
perament. Like hiß native Boil I should say
he lacks depth and variety.
Bicbard Grant White follows with one of
his word-studies. He handles the idioms is
doing and is being done , the latter of which
he condemns as pedantic; the roundabout
phraseology he ascribes to Jane Taylor, the
pious “Q. Q.” This magnificent pomp of
language, however, blooms in muoh finer ex
uberance among the negroes of the South:
BEIN’ DONE COKE.
“Good evenin', ear! Walk in, sar. De

to the opera! Thana you, I won’t come in.
I’ll see them there." “No, sar, I didn’ say

toss of the Madras kerohief and a smile of
superior intelligence, “dey bein' done gone.

The New Eclectic Magazine always
embodies a very tasteful choice of the litera
ture of the few weeks preceding its appear
ance for any month. The number for March
continues Anthony Trollope s story, Pnineas
Finn,” and begins Berthold Auerbach’s inter
esting novel, “Little Barefoot.” One other
German translation (and it is made express
for the New Eclectic ) is a spirited tale of the
Alps, from Der Uausfreund, entitled,
“Pechnazi, the Chamois Hunter.” There are
also a dozen more papers, mostly essays.
The Overland is laid under levy for an
admirable tale, and The Nation for one
of its biting articles; the other selec
tions are English. The paragraph clippings
at the close are ma4e with good judgment,
and the book reviews are among the best that
can be found. There is a good likeness of
John Bright to accompany an article taken
from the Galaxy on the English Liberal
Triumvirate. We consider the New Eclectic
one of the best specimens we see of parasitic
literature, and we do not mean to use the
epithet insultingly. With the issue for April,
18C9, The Land We Love and The New
Eclectic Magazine will be united: General
D. H. Hill remaining an editor and partner

“Col. Thorpe’s Scenes in Arkansaw” is the
title of a thick duodecimo volume just
issued by T. B. Peterson & Brothers. The
geographical designation “Arkansaw ap
pears to be employed by the editor in a Pick
wickian sense of great latitude, since one
cannot open the book without finding descrip
tions of scenes laid at large over the southern
and western States, with an occasional touch
of Down East comedy. The collection, in
fact, is a generous, rollicking sweeping-m oi
all the outrageously queer sketches over
which readers have laughed in the Spirit of
the Times. Sol, Smith, the genial mana
ger whose loss is just now so much felt by
the profession, is one of the contributors; but
the principal reliance of the compiler (Porter,
formerly editor of the Spirit), is on such
rough humor as is embodied in “A Quarter
Race in Kentucky,” “The Drama in Poker
ville,” “Bob Herring, the Arkansas Bear
Hunter,” “A Night in a Swamp,” and other
fancies whose wildness is sufficiently indicated
in the titles. The book is printed clearly on
white paper, interleaved with sixteen designs
in Parley’s best style.—Price, in cloth, $1 75.

The foremost composers have been for the
most part great bumorißts.and in dry wit, sly
sarcasm and sententious point Rossini had few
rivals. For the last twenty years of his life
he opened his rooms to a nondescript crowd,
and there twenty Boswells in the field pre
pared to record each wink of his eye, every
wag of his tongue. He had lived between
the curtain of the stage —that world within
the world, which rarely manifests more than
one side of human nature, and that in its
strongest and most concentrated form—and
could well estimate the language of muscle
and the concealed meanings of language, the
shrug of a shoulder, and the play on the
word. He was evidently a man of compli
ments —of compliments as piquant as his
salads and macaroni; but the old courtier was
also an inimitable joker of jokes, and it was
in this character that he uttered the telling
satire and the trenchant truth.
Ever kind and sparkling, his victims i
[ conld not quarrel, and often left him to ,
tell their friends and the world the wit of j
which they bad been the cause. Now thstt
the great man has gone and his biographers
are at work, all who have been artistically
touched by his delicate javelin are desirous
of concealing the wound with as pleasant a
face as possible. Amongst the sufferers, or
supposed Bufi'erers, is the renowned Richard
Wagner, a musician of the highest ability but
who will not condescend to gratify the weak
ness of poor humanity in writing what poor
humanity especially loves to hear. It is
averred that Rossini, like many others, con
ceived that Wagner’s music was wanting in
melody, and there are those who say that
Rosßini’s dislike to the Wagnerian style was
so decided as to induce him to insert a codicil
in his will relating to a prize opera. What
ever the Rossiniau prize opera might be, it
was not to be of the ornately romantic school,
and melody was to be a sine qua non.
Richard Wagner cannot see that the codicil
is in any way applicable to him or his com
positions, anS he' haß written some half dozen
columns in endeavoring to prove that he and
Rossini were excellent friends, and that Ros-
Bini expressed himself much pleased with a
march of his composition. He relates the
anecdote of Meroadante and Rossini, but de
clares that Rossini himself wrete to the pub
lic papers, repudiating it as a “mauvaise
blague." MercadaDte, it is said, had ex
pressed his approval of Wagner's music.

corrected those of hie friends, by exorcises of
the palate, Bhortly after Invited Mercadante

ception was made in the case of Meroadante,
for his host Bent him sauce, but no fish,
pleasantly remarking that one who liked
music without melody should surely be satis
fied to get sauce without fish.
The article of Richard Wagner Is chiefly
interesting from its professing to give the roa
son why Rossini ceased to write for the Ital
ian Btage. He tells.his readers that Rossini
said to him, “I possessed a facility,and might
have been able to have done something; but
Italy had ceased to be the country in which
the grand opera could be encouraged and
supported. Everything that was great in
ait suffered under the oppressive yoke of the
foreigner, and the Italians were reduced to a
life of frivolity.” Rossini nved to please; and,

when connecting freedom to bpera composi
tion with the freedom of nations. The Bi
varian king paid the huge expanses attending
the'production of the WSgneria
and the Austrian purse would have been
opened to meet any charges the composer or
William Tell might choose to demand for a
new opera, whether serious or comic. But
Wagner throws a doubt round the whole con
versation when he makes Rossini say that
“had he been born ih Germany his faculties
would no doubt have been fully developed.”
Very remarkable words from the macaroni
eating and truffle-loving son of Pesaro and
enfant g<ite of the Parisians! No two men
could be more unlike in feeling and in
thought than Rossini and Wagner; but they
were very like in one reßpect—each had
taught himself to write for the stage, and
could do little else in music. Rossini was a
singer and a man of the world; he was there
fore a truly lyrical composer, wrote songs for
singers, and melody for the million. Wagner
is an acoustician, a philosopher, a system
maker, thinking little of vocalists, and rely -
ing altogether on the vocalization of the or
chestra. The one was brimful of melody,
the other is overcharged with harmony. Both
have lived in changeful times, and assisted in
the creation and new phase of the orchestra,
the accumulation of instrumental idea, the
lengthening and shortening of movement, the
coloring of dramatic life, but neither of them
have written a bar demonstrating that knowl
edge of the art as a science, or that use and
appreciation of it as a language which marks
the career of those we may justly call the
great composers.
Haydn and Mozart busied themselves about
great tbiDgs before they condescended to
small things. Haydn, it is said, thought
highly of his operas (all which were unfortu
nately burnt), but before he wrote good opera
he had learnt to write something better.
Mozart, in one sense, may be said never to
have written an opera at all; for in all that be
did he wrote music, and never dreamt of
being, like Gluck, profound, stagey and pain
fully literal. Rossini professed to have the
highest reverence for Mozart, but the two
worked from opposite points; Mpzart wrote
music to please himself. Rossini did tha
same, but to please the public. Haydn ana
Mozart wrote as musicians, knowing the all,
the everything of music; Rossini wrote as a
singer, for singers; and dispossess him of his
lyrical forms he was nowhere. We can
well imagine that he believed be had
no fair field In his own country, and
the never-ceasing industry, the inordinate
reading, the incessant note-taking, the
clever gathering together of short phrases
and piquant ideas, so strenuously practiced
by bis great, contemporary and real rival,
Meyerbeer, was a huge fact with which the
dolce/ar niente, natural to the Italian, felt
it6elf unable to grapple. And so Rossini left
Scribe to plot, and Meyerbeer to ponder
over all sorts of improbabilities and mon -
strosities, wondering how any man with such
scant imaginationt and such ample funds at
his bankers, like Unto Meyerbeer, should vex
and fash himself with concocting music for
people who, after all, only held a half faith in
him. The new reforms have come at last to
• ‘ L'AJrieaine ” and “Romeo d Qiulietta."
Wagner did not see Rossini for some years
before he died. What would have been Baid
at Iheir conference to consider the claims ot
these two operas would indeed have been
curious, and the inots of Rossini many and
superb. We can imagine him saying, “Now,
Richard, there is a chance, for you," and in
this case Riehard would been spared
the long columns ot explffiSluon he has
thought it necessary to give aadf^Grc/iestra.

This great enterprise is rapidly approaching completion.
(1600) sixteen hundred mites hare been built by
two (3) powerful companies; the Union Pacific Railroad,
beginning at Omaha, building west, and the Control
Pacific Railroad, beginning at Sacramento, and building
east, until the two roads shall meet. Only two hundred
miles remain to bo built The greater part of the interval
la now graded, and it is reasonably expected that the
through connection between Ban Francisco and Now York
will be completed by June L
As the amount of Government aid given to each Ib de
pendent upon the length of road each shall build, both
companies are prompted to great efforts to secure the
construction and control of what, when completed, will
be one and the only grand Railroad Line connecting the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
One Hundred and Twenty Million Dollars (8120,000,008)
in money have already been expended by tiro two power
ful companies engaged in this great enterprise, and they
will speedily complete the portion yet to bo built.
The Government aid to the Union Pacific Railroad and
the Central Pacific Railroad may be briefly summed up
as follows:
First—The right of way and all ieceMary timber and
stone from public domain'
Second—lt makes a donation of 12.600 acres of land to
tho rullo, which, when the road Is completed,will amount
to twenty-three million (23,(00,000) acres.
Third—lt loans tho companies fifty million dollars
850,000. COO), for which it takes a second Lien.
The Government has already loaned the Union Pacific
Railroad twenty five million nine hundred and seventy
eight thousand dollars (825,978.000), and to the Central
Pacific Railroad seventeen million nine hundred and
sixty four thousand dollars ($17,964000), amounting in all
to forty-tbree million nine hundred and forty-two thou
sand dollars ($43,942,000).
The Companies are permitted to Issue their own First
Mortgage Bonds to the same amount as they receive from
the United States, and no morn The companies have
sold to permanent investors upwards of ($40,000,000) forty
millien dollars of their First Mortgage Bonds. The com
panies havo already paid in (including net earnings not
divided, grants from State of California, and Sacramento
city and Ban Francisco), upwards of (825,000,000) tsrentj
five million dollars of capital stock. J

WHAT 18 THERE YET TO BE DONE t
In considering this question it must be remembered that
all the remaining iron to the road is contracted for,
and the largest portion paid fer and now delivered on the

A motion to reconsider the vote by which the
bill was passed was laid on the table—yeas 93,
nays 70.
Mr. Boutwell rose and said he desired to make
a statement to the Honse. He said he had in
tended to have reported from the reconstruction
Committee a bill establishing a provisional gov
ernment for the Stale of Mississippi, but the ap
proacMngend of tbe session, and the determina
tion of the other side to oppose It, would prevent
its passage. Immediately after the 4th ot March,
however, the capacity of tbe Honse to pass such
a measure would be tested.
Mr. Pettis, from the Committee on Elections,
called np the New Mexico contested election
case, and was addressing the House in advocacy
of the report of the committee, when, at ifi
o'clock. Hie House took a recess till I]4-
Keening Section The Honse on reassembling
resumed the consideration of the Army Appro
priation bill.
Mr. Dodge offered the following as a substitute
for the amendment reported from the Committee
on Military Affairs:
"That alter March 4, 18G9, the President of the
United Btatea is authorized to make the fol
lowing redaction and consolidation In the army,
as the benefit ol the service may require: Tbe
consolidation of the regiments of infantry to 30;
tbe consolidation ol the Artillery Corps and Ord
nance Department; the consolidation of the Quar
termasters, Subsistence and Pay Departments,
and such reductions in the other Staff Depart
imnts as the reduced strength of the army may
require. No appointments shall be made in any
grade nnlil the number of surplus officers in that
grade is redneed to the number of officers re
quired by the consolidation and redaction herein
authorized.”
Mr. Dodge’6 substitute was agreed to, 75 to 40.
Mr. Garfield offered an amendment regulating
the pay of non-commisßioned officers and pri
vatce, but on a point of order being made by Mr,
Blaine, the amendment was ruled to be out of
order.
Mr. Butler offered his own proposition as an
amendment to that of Mr. Dodge's.
After discussion, the amendment offered by
Mr. Butler woe agreed to—s 7 to SG, and added to
the snbstitute offered by Mr. Dodge. It provides
ae follows : For the discontinuance of tne office
of General si the army after the 4th of March,
18G9; for the continuance of the office of Lieu
tenant-General till a vacancy In the same shall
occur, and no longer; against granting any more
brevet commissions, except for meritorious con
duct and important service in the presence of
the enemy.
Mr. Farnsworth declared himself in favor of
the substitute offered by Mr. Dodge, as the most
practical and only one that would possibly get
through both Houses.
After further discussion, the amendment offered
by Mr. Butler was agreed to—s 7 to 56, and added
to the substitute offered by Mr. Dodge.
The committee rose and reported the bill to the
House.
Mr. Blaine moved a substitute for the amend
ments of Messrs. Dodge and Bnller, but without
actiDg upon It.the House at 10 o’clock adjourned.
