KEW niBUVAIIONS.
/ 'We receive through Turner Bros., &Co.
“ ‘ the noat and smart little volume containing the
r~;r*ntabiograpliy“,ofrthtrvirtemn'John'Ncal;-iiow
arrived at the age of 70, and the Father of; our.
American literary guild. The book,'just pub
lished by Roberts Bros., is garrulously named
by the author “Wandering Recollections of a
Somewhat busy Life, an Autobiography.” It
> was begun on his seventy-third birthday, and
ho was writing away at- it not three ■ months
. hack. It is a repertory of literary anecdote
, and pleasant small gossip, told with senilo de
liberation and insistance, and extending in
point of time away beyond the day when Siil
»ey Smith wanted to know who ever read an
American book. v
‘Bom a down-east Quaker, grandson of a
broad-brimmed preacher-of that sect, Neal's
first recollections include some drab-colored
jokes of the society. A shop-boy in Portland,-
a retail mercer in Boston and New York, anil
then a partner of Pierpont’s in the wholesale
dry-goods line at Baltimore, lie clung to traffic
until the failure of the last-named speculation,
•when he. plunged; into law and literature to- 1
gether, and published Iris first novel, “Keep
Cool,” in 1817, in Baltimore. A number of
stories, and quantities of magazine papers, were
the fruit of liis brain during the next six years,
when, goaded by what he calls the “ insolent ”
.question about 'American books anil tlieir
readers, he determined to cross the ocean and’
beard the British lionin the very den of Black- ,
.wood, the' cleverest, the sauciest and the most
unprincipled of all our calumniators.”
FIRST CONTRIBUTION TO BLACKWOOD.
If I could manage to get possession of that ,
blazing rocket-battery,and turn its fire upon the
swarming whipper-snappers, who were always
lying .about our institutions, and habits and
prospects—now in the newspapers, like John
Bull; now in the Edinburgh. Quarterly; now
in the record; of British travelers, like the
author of a “Summary View of America;” aiul
mow in the House of Commons—it seemed to
me,that I should have my hands full for a time;
; and tliat,by perseverance and good luck,lmight
be able to cany the war into Africa, with a
vengeance, and furnish a pretty good answer to
the insolent question, “117(0 reads an Ameri
can book ?”
Having made up my mind, I sat down, and
wrote a paper for Blackwood making, if I
remember aright, six printed pages, about our
• ‘‘Five American Presidents,” and the five pre
sidential candidates then before tlie country—
Andrew Jackson, John Quincy Adams, Henry
Clay, John C. Calhoun, and William 11. Craw
ford—giving outline sketches of them all, and
venturing, modestly enough, to foretell certain
results, which were speedily verified.
With this paper I sent a letter signed “Carter
Holmes,” acknowledging, however, that the
name was adopted for the occasion, but pro
misiiig, whenever called for by anybody who
might fancy himself aggrieved, to abandon my
concealment, anil give up my real name. I
took especial care also, to write as if I were an
Englishman, a traveler, who had seen some
thing of the Americans, and was willing to
turn wliat he knew of them to account; for I
had good reasons to believe, that communica
''tiorisfrom'ltq American, if lie did not abuse
America, would go into the Balaam-basket.
In due course of mail,! received a reply from
Blackwood liiin?elf, saying that if I chose to
.communicate my real name, it should be a
secret between ourselves, though he did not re
quire to know it; and soon after, the veiy next
month, indeed,.came the article to me in print,
with, an order on Mr. Cadell for five guineas,
more than I had ever received in my life from
all the magazines I had ever written for, in
this country.
My paper produced quite a sensation, anil
was immediately borrowed, and copied, and
quoted, aiid reproduced, not only in the jour
nals of the day, but in the New European,
- edited by the famous Dr. Alexander Walker,
• which was said to appear ''simultaneously .in
two or three diil'erent languages, on the Con
tinent.
In a note now before me, from Mr. Henry
Southern, editor of the i London Magazine, after
• poor Jolpv Scott had been sacrificed, and sub
editor of the Westminister, dated March 17,
1820,' I find the following passage: “I shall be
, equally candid—for this, and two or three more
similar, the Magazine can afford 'to pay-CIO
each” ($00.)
BLACKWOOD'S KUItOItS IN IUEINTING.
There were some droll errors in my first
paper about the Presidents and Presidential
candidates, two or three of which are worth
correcting, even at this late hour, lest they
should continue to be repeated hereafter, ;ts
they have been heretofore. 1
Speaking of Mi - . Jefferson’s farm at Monti
cello, the printers made me say—l never saw
the proof—“ Mr. Jefferson's fame at Muel
eelio;” and where 1 had written “ lie expected
the war” they said ‘Ahe expeded the win 1
probably mistaking the word for an American
ism, which would not bear to be tampered
with, like “jeopardize,” or “to progressand
where 1 wrote in the plainest possible hand,
“the countenance of the American Govern
ment, under Washington, throughout all its
foreign negotiations and domestic administra
tion, was erect and natural, very strong, simple
and grave,” instead of countenance, the block
heads printed it continuance, which, of course,
made the most deplorable nonsense of it.
Nevertheless, the blunders were copied into,
the European magazine already mentioned,
and perpetuated elsewhere, with scrupulous
fidelity, as if they really meant something, so
that, from that day to this, I am continually
meeting with them.
This paper led to my becoming a regular
monthly contributor for Blackwood up to
February, 182(5, when I withdrew the first of
r what were to be called “North American
Stories,” after it was in type and paid for; and
there ended my writing for Blackwood. This
■very story, by the way, was founded on our
Salem witchcraft, and constituted the frame
work of “Hacliel Dyer,” after my return to
America.
All the. papers written for Blackwood ex
cept the one about, “Men aiid Women," where
I undertook to show their equality, and that
the difference between the sexes was nutowiug
to organization, but to temperament'and sen-'
sibility, had relation to America and American
affairs, 1 took up all our writers, from recollee
• tion, without referring to a book, and then all
our painters; and then I renewed the reviewers,
' and gave the author of a new book, which ap
peared under the title of “Summary View of
America,’Mfuclia scoring ..that he, _w;is never
heard of afterward.
. -NISAL CONTIUBUTES TO TIIB lUUTISII NEWS
PAI'EIIS.
My chief object, from the first, was to bring
together—and not to segregate, alienate or em
bitter—two great nations, with a common lin
eage, a common history,a common language, a
'.common literature, a common purpose, and a
coihmon interest. To do this elluctiudly, I
must write as an Englishman, or at least, not
; as an American; being always careful to say
Ijy, the truth, and .always ready to acknowledge tlie
l faults of others, and especially of my country
men. '
K Writing for--. the newspaper on such., a snb
twas opt of the question; for what knew
»jr, and fvhat cared they about America or
OCrjean aifairs? ; Oiu‘ literature they had
cn taught to believe, and, I have no doubt, did.

But I dUV not reach this conclusion till I had
tried some of the newspapers, and had
tried me severely. To example: On seeing in
the Times, or the John Bull newspaper, edited
by Theodore Book—l forget tvliich—a shame
ful attack on Washington, wherein lie was con
trasted with Bolivar, and .charged- with Frank
lin's greatest virtue,' niggardliness, or at least
with unreasonable thrift, I. sent a brief, but; in
hay judgment, a conclusive- reply; saying, first,
that Washington had refused pay for his ser
vices as commander-in-chief, during the whole
revolutionary war, which lasted nearly eight
years, asking only to be indemnified for actual
disbursements and outlays on account of" the
army, and' refusing to receive a -penny for
which he did not produce the most
unquestionable vouchers, though some had
been .lost., or destroyed, lie knew not liow,
while moving tbe army, whereby he was a
loser to a considerable amount, according to his
carefully kept account-books; and, secondly,
that when his agent refused to furnish supplies
for the 'British vessels of war, lying oif Mount
Vernon, Washington’s plantation, though he
had good reason to believe they would open
fire upon the place—the officer in command
having threatened to do so—he proved beyond
all question one of two things—either ..that
Washington bad-given such oraem, of that he
knew enough of Washington's character to be
willing to take the responsibility. This com
munication did not appear in the paper that,
contained the charges, I believe, though I
greatly desired to send the antidote after the':
poison—the weasel after the rat—and through
the same channels; but I had kept a copy, and
it appeared elsewhere in pretty good season,
though I forget where just now.
BISGUSTEDriVIiH'TIIK DAII/V BRITISH PRESS.
At anotheritiih.e I had a short interview 'with
the proprietor of ,the Morning Herald, if I do
not mistake, who, understanding that I should
soon be in Paris, wanted to engage me as a
correspondent, and particularly to showUp that
“Old Granny, Lafayette.” The fellow’s name
was Thwaites, and lie had been a celebrated
linen-draper not longbefore, without, education
or manners, hut shrewd; inquisitive, .and smart
as a steel trap. Of course we did not agree,
aud I had no further communication with the
gentleman till long after my return to America,
when I wrote a series of articles about our
northeastern boundary, which, without my
knowledge, were ottered to him. These I had
kept in a large blank book, together with some
letter's from .Governor Lincoln, of Maine,which
were in a measure confidential, though com
mitted to my discretion. All these papers a
vagabond Englishman,one of a score I have had
to do with in the course of my life, borrowed
of me, at the most critical .part of oiu' negotia
tions, when the Aroostook war was beginning
to loom up, under pretence of showing them,
confidentially, to the governor-general, and
never returned them. The gentleman’s name
I lost in the fire—would it had been the gentle
man himself—or I should certainly show him
up here atfultlength, having kept him iu reserve
for that very purpose. , ; ’
HEVEISTH TO THE MAGAZINES,
To theAUohthlies and quarterlies, therefore, I
determirfed to coniine my operations, lor a
while at least, until I could make it desirable
for them all, to American Department,
instead of being satisfied with an occasional
paragraph on American affairs, iu the siwpe of
a fling, or a slur. And before six months were
over, I had succeeded so far as to get papers
about America and American affairs, American
literature, and American art, into Blackwood,
the Neiv Monthly, the Old Monthly, the
London Magazine, the 1 New European, the
Oriental- Hendd—n quarterly, managed by
“Silk Buckingham,” who afterward lectured in
tills country, after a fashion, without informing
our people that he had once-sailed a merchant
vessel out of Norfolk, Va., before he went to
tlie British East Indies, where-lie set up the
Iferedd —the Westminster, the European,
second series, got up, without my knowledge
at the time, by the proprietors of the John
Bull newspaper, which had always lying
about us, and abusing us, and all our institutions
and liabits, and published- by Miller of Blacic
Friars, who was known everywhere as tin;
American bookseller, though an Englishman
by birth and education,'and only an American
bookseller because he had brought out the
“Sketch-Book” by Irving, after it had been
poolicd at by Murray': and tlien Cooper’s
works, one after another, until lie passed them
over to Colburn. It w.'is Miller who engaged
me, but the deception did not avail; for soon
after my controversy with Mr. Charles Mat
thews,, about his audacious and blundering
nu's-i cpi esentations of the Yankee character,
which appeared in that periodical, 1 came to a
knowledge of the truth; and, although hand
somely paid, I refused to write another line for
it. Tlio Baileys',Too, of Long-Acre—with
whoso progenitors Dr. Franklin labored, and
out of whose, establishment cai'ne the printing
press at which lie worked, while preaching tem
perance to the beer-drinkers about-him, and
which is now, 1 believe, in the Philadelphia
Museum —actually went so far as to buy up an
old monthly, for the purpose of introducing an
American-department,'which was committed to
my charge.

In a word, my plan, worked handsomely;' and
I was in great, demand for whatever related to
the “United States of North America,” a title I
began to use instead of “America,” as more sig
nificant and exclusive than tlie “United States,”
there being a plentiful supply of “United
States” coming and going, like shadows, in
South America and elsewhere.
My signatures; when I used any at all, were
strange and lnultifilrious;—'whether.! wrote on
America,- or upon other miscellaneous subjects,
which I did only at. long intervals, as upon
“Men aad Women,” in Blackwood, or on
"Verbicide,”—punning—in the Old Monthly.
They were signed A. 0., N., A. B. C., N. Y.
55., A., W. A., Omega, Kredcricli. Richter, &«.,
&c., Ac., arid were varied, according to circum
stances, for .different journals, that all papers
about America, or American ailairs, might not
be supposed to proceed from tjie same indi
vidual. •— 7 -
When it is . remembered that, up to this pe
riod, May, 1824, no American writer liad ever
found his way into any of these periodicals,
and'that American allairs were dealt with in
short, insolent paragraphs, full of misapprehen
sion, or of downright misrepresentation, as if
they were dealing with Feejce Islanders, or
Timlmetqos, without fear of contradiction, say
what they would, it must he admitted,! think,
that my plan was well-conceived and well-car

And then, too, if we call to. mind the fact
lhat, since! gave up writing for these journals,
there has been no such thing in any'of them; as.
an American Department, nor even a decent
article about America—the United State's of
America,! mean ;• and that,.with, the exception
of Albert ,I’ike, who furnished half a score of
respectable sonnets for Blackwood, not to

But I had many a snubbing, and not a few
uncomfortable disappointments, to put up
With, and two or three unpleasant misunder
standings to adjust, before the campaign was
over. 1 For example: After I had secured, as 1
thought, a fair field, and no favor, in the great
European, edited by Dr. Alexander Walker —
1 believe he was a Doctor, and perhaps an LL.
D., or something of the sort —he having pub
lished my article on the “Presidents'.and Presi
dential Candidates,” from Blackwood, in
Slay, 1824, with all the atrocious blunders, and
one or two other papers of minej about Ame
rica and'American affairs, furnished for that
periodical, I received the following brief note :
from him, written with a crow-quill, on gilt
edged paper, in the daintiest of female hands,
not to be compared for manliness with that
of Mrs. Wheeler, the Mary Wolstohcroft of her
day, through whose agency We had become
acquainted: _
/ “Bear Sir: Our article on Lord Byron was
printed before I got yours. It is quite differ

Another note from the same individual,who,
by the way, had just made a fierce onslaught
upon phrenology, contending that the cerebel

nothing else, and that no other function could
be predicated of it; and was .actually prepar

failed to-do—that is, to supply the deficiencies
of all who preceded him, in philosophy and

that narrower course whereby he “gave up to

Here ended my acquaintance with Dr. Walker,

the age of sixty or thereabouts, with such a
marvellous distinctness, that I verily believe I
could sketch him, and almost paint hint, to the

to possess, ever since I first began to talk about
painting and painters; a great mistake, by the
way, for I never; had any special talent for

BROTHER JONATHAN: HOWTO GET Ul» AIJOOK
While thus occupied, I prepared “Brother
Jonathan’? for Mr. Blackwood. It appeared in
three handsome volumes, and I was paid my
own-price for it, two hundred guineas, after re
writing the whole, I dare not say how many
times. The original manuscript I had brought
with me from Baltimore, working on it, in the
midst of storm and sea-sickness,"all the -way
over. . But my notions changed, after writing
awhile for the magazines, anil I re-wrote e very
page of it again—every paragraph I might say,
so that the whole web, warp and woof was
changed with a vieiv to Blackwood. But, on
reading it all over, and subjecting it to thejitdg
ment of Professor Wilson, alias Cluistoplier
Noi tli, and to some other individuals of great
good sense and large experience, they had their
misgivings about certain portions; and lie,
Blackwood, was .cruelly disappointed. Where
upon I wrote it all over again, for the third
time, rejecting huge portions altogether, some
of which appeared after my return to America,
and altering other portions, and changing and
qualifying the incidents, characters and plots,
gashing and peppering the whole with commas,
and colons, and semi-colons, and a plenty of
dashes, until it had become almost a new
story, when it was accepted, and brought forth
in superior style, both at London arid in Edin
burgh.
Many reviews appeared, and all suiliciently
.gratifyingpbojjh at London and Paris; all, too,
by utter stTaiigerS to me. But the most re
markable notice appeared in a volume of “ Re
jected Articles,” published by Colburn, and
written by ...nobody knows whom, to this day,
•I believe, Containing capital imitations of Wil

Dkcembek 9, 1808.—I have just lighted on
the following brief letter, 'which refers to what
was “ left over” when 1 Jiad liiiished—for the
third time—the story of “ Brother Jonathan.”
“Otterbag” was one of tlie many episodes I
threw aside while revising it for the last time;
and after my return to America it appeared in
the “ Token,” edited by Mr. Goodrich.

“HIS ARTISTIC CAREER.
“I could draw on wood at a very tender ago.
When a mere child, I once drew a small cart
load of rftw turnips over a wooden bridge. The
people of the village noticed me. I drew their
attention. They said I had a future before me.
Up to that time I had an idea it was behind me.
: “Tune passed on. It always does, by the
way. You may possibly have noticed that
time always does. It.isakindof way time has.
“I became a man. I haven't distinguished
mysejf at all as an artist; but I have always
been more or less mixed-up with art. I k'ave
an uncle who takes photographs, and 1 have a
servant who—takes anything he gets liis hands
on.
“ins 51U8ICAI. IDEAS.
“I like music, I .can’t sing; As a singist, I
am not a success. ,1 am saddest when I-sing.
So are those who hear . me. They :ue sadder
even than 1 am. . ’ .*
“The other night some silly-voiced young
men came under my window and sang ‘Come
where my love .lies, dreaming.? I dklmotgo.
1 didn't think it would be conect.
“I found; music very soothing when I lay ill
with fever in Utah; aud I was very ill; I was
fearfully wasted. My face was hewn down to
nothing, and my nose was so sharp I didn’t
to stick it into other people’s
fear- it would stay there and 1 should never get
it again. And in those dismal days a Monnon
lady—she was married, though not so much so
as her husband, he had fifteen other wives—
she used to sing a ballad commencing ‘Sweet
bird, do not fly away,’ and I told her I wouldn’t.
She played the accordeon divinely—aceorde
only 1 praised ter.
“ THE STEAMER ARIKT..
“I went to California on the steamer Ariel.
This is the steamer Ariel. -. ■
“Oblige me .by calmly gazing on the steamer
Ar iel; and when you go to,California, be sure
and go on some other steamer, because the
Ariel isn’t a very good one.”
“THE PICTURE OP THE GREAT DESERT.
“ This picture is a great work of art. It is
an oil painting done in petroleum. It is by the
old masters. It was the last tiring they did be
fore dying. They did this and then they ex
pired.
“ The most celebrated artists of London are
so delighted with this picture -that they come
to the hall every day to gaze at it. I wish you
were nearer to k—so you could see it better.
1 wish I cpuld take it to your residences and
let you see it by daylight. Some of the greatest
artists come lrer-e every morning before day
light, with lanterns, to look at it. They say
they never saw 7 anything like it before—and
they hope they never shall again.
“ When I first showed this pictitre in New
Yoik, the audiences were so entlrusiakic in
their admiration for this pictui'e that they called
for tire artist—and when he appeared threw
brickbats at him. '
“BRIGHAM YOUNG-
“ Brigham! Young has two huxrdred wives.
Just thmk of that. Oblige hie by thinking of
that. That is, he has eighty actual wives, anil
Ire is spiritually married to one hundred and
twenty more. So we may say he has two
hundred wives, v He lives not wisely, but
two hundred well. He is dreadfully mar
ried. He's the most married man 1 ever saw
in my life.
“ 1 saw bis mother-in-law while I was there.
I can’t exactly tell how many there is of her.
but it’s a good ileal. It strikes me that one
mother-in-law is about enough to have in one
family—unless you’re very fond of excitement.
“MORMON PiiOSELYTISM,
“I rejgyet to say that efforts were made to
make a Mormon of me wliile I was in Utah.
“It was leap year when I was. there, and
seventeen young widows, the wives of a de
ceased Mormon, ottered me tlieir hearts and
hands. I called on them one day, and, taking
their soft white hands in mine, which made
eighteen hands altogether, 1 'found-them in
tears.

one evening among a number of distinguished

him to tlie door on his departure, she said, “1

reputation of being able to give a Shakespearean

Reynolds, without a moment’s hesitation, “I!

The very happiest quotation on record is re
called to mind by the death of Lord Brougham.
Irffhe trial of Queen Caroline it was a curious
and significant fact that no prosecutor ap
peared, iiifil it became most important to show
-that the king was the real plaintiff. Questions
to/witnesses bearing on tljgt, point were ob
jected to, and Brougham, in a memorable out
burst, indignantlyp retested, against this,
urging that, for all lie could tell, the prosecution
might suddenly vanish into thin'' ail’, since lie
knew hilt under what shape it existed— :

“ ‘A railway .without cuttings, embankments,
tunnels, viaducts, or bridges, no matter how
hilly the country to be traversed’—such is the
definition by JJcrtjHtWa Journal of an inven
tion now in uSe lhXefatstmhire, and a work
ing model of wliicli may be seen in Gresham
street, E. V. The wire tramway provides a
simple and cheap substitute for a line of rails,
and is of great service where, from the scarcity
or intermittent ■ character of the traffic Or the
engineering difficulties of the ground to be
got over, if is either not expedient or iinpojsiJ
file to go througji the expensive! process of
forming a local railway. For the wire spans
and evades obstacles in place of burrowing
under or levelling them, and will perform its
task as easily along a nigged tract of coun
try as on the smoothest road. The experi
ment being now prosecuted with complete
success between some Leicestershire stone
quarries and a railway station three miles dis
tant, eomisfs'of an endless wire rope, sup
ported oil a! series of .pulleys; carried by Sub
stantial posts, which are ordinarily about one
hundred ami fifty,feet apart, but the interval
between which may be greatly extended, as is
shown in one case where the span from post
to post is sik hundred feet. One of the ends
of this rope (passes round a Fowler’s dip-drum,
worked by a {jortable steam engine, and this
drives the'rope at a speed of six miles an hour.
Boxes are hiing on the rope at tlie loading end
near the quafries by a pendant which is inge
niously arranged to preserve a jierfect equili
brium! attd'at the same time to jiass without
hindrance over the supports. Each Of these
boxes carries one bundled weight of stone, and
the delivery is at the rate of two hundred
boxes, or fen tons per hour for the three-mile
distance. ■
“ A]re:ulv wire tramways on the
silk; model are in course of erection in France,
Italy ami Spain.- Negotiations are on foot-too,
Between the Turkish' government and the
•ngineers here, and it is not Miprobable that
this generation may see goods carried by win;
as commonly as messages. The tramway is.
indeed, not iudlke an exceedingly stout electric
telegraph: and there is somethingahnost droll
in the sight of a regiment of well-laden trucks
air lxixes passing gravely along it at stated in
tervals. and at regular pace, much as if they
were at aerial drill. The most important point
in air. Hodgson's invention is ha method of
passing the points of support, which consists in
so curving the frame of the truck or box as to
make the centre of gravity come under the
rope. Bo admirably is this managed tint some
of our leading engineers have been discussing
<juite recently the possibility of constructing a
stout wire tramway between Dover and Calais,
which should be supported limn a line of
pillars sunk in mid-ocean and along which
passengers could be conveyed. The cost,
would be comparatively small, and suspensory
trains ctntjtl, it is argued, be despatched across
the Channel without difficulty or danger.
“It should be stated that where heavy loads
must 'necessarily be carried, a pair of station
ary supporting ropes, with an endless running
rope for the motive power, are employed, and
that by these means its many as a thousand tons
per day can bo easily conveyed. The cost of
erecting these tramways in England, and ot
supplying motive power and rolling stock, is
from*£2so a,/mile for carrying fitly tons a
day, in boxes holding half a hundred weight'
each, to £1,500 a mile for one of the double
rope lines, to carry one thousand tons a day, in
boxes or trucks holding six hundred weight
each. For all districts where there is traffic,
but wltf'je it would not pay to construct a rail
way, the wire tramway is particularly applica
ble; and, as will be readily understood, whom
ever there is standing room for posts, there a
line can be erected. A recent application from
traders in copper for putting one up for them,
which should ran through an African forest,,
-and over an African jungle, down to the coast,
illustrates the varied circumstances under
■which 'the new system of transport may he ap
plied.”

Hats were used by the Dorics probably as
long ago as the time of Homer, bitt only by the
better class of citizens when on a distant jour
ney ; the Elgin marbles show that the same
■custom prevailed among this Athenians. The
Romans used a cap at their sacrifices, but hats
with brims when journeying. In the thii'-
teenth eenturvPope Innocent allowed cardinals
to use scarlet jiats, and about the middle of the
fifteenth century hats became common in
Fiance, and soon after in tlie rest of Europe.
;St. Clement is sahl to have invented' felt to
guard the beads of pilgrims against inclement ,
