DISASTERS.
DISASTROUS BUIPVBtCK.
Siuhinc of. Mae Ship Catherine with All
on Hoard Save One—Statement of the
Solo Survivor.
[From the Montreal (lazfUo, Nor.2i.)
We insert a narrative of Daniel Samson,first
mate of tho ship Catherine, Captain Alex. :
under, with a cargo of railroad iron for
Quebec: . i ...
Wo sailed from G enoa on the 22d day of
July, 1800, with a crew of .twenty-ono men,
including the first, second and third mates.
Their names were First mate, Daniel Sam
son, of Genoa; second mate, John Donovan,
of Queenstown, Ireland; thirdmato, William
H. Bell, of Limerick, Ireland. The remainder
of the crew were Italians, from Genoa, whose
names-I do not know. Our cargo was railroad
iron for the port of Quebec, Wo had on board
I, tons. The first ninedays out we had fair
weather. On the tenth day wo sprung aleak,
and all hands were at the pumps 216 hours, when
we made the port of Marseilles and remained
fifteen days for repairs. On the 24th day of Au
gust we left for. Quebec, and had a very lair
passage until we made the Oanso light on the
coast of Nova Scotia. We took on a pilot then
by the name of John O’Brien, who took the
snip to Cape Porcupine. He then left the ship.
The course pursued from that place to the
Magdalen Islands' was due west. We then
altered the course flrom west by north half
north. Steven, days after, (on the 14th of
November; in the second mate’s 1 watch,
as. near as 1 can, recollect at about 10
o’clock, when I , went below to the
cabin, Captain Alexander and his wife
were playing cards, when I joined them and
played about two hours, when all at once we
felt a heavy shock and the crash of the main
and fore masts. I rushed up from the cabin,
and all was confusion on deck, the men run
ning about and caiiiug upon God to save them.
I think it was about six minutes from the time
we struck the rock when (he ship went down
with all on board except myself and the se
cond mate. We were clinging to a small
piece of deal about live feet long and seven
inches wide. He had hold of one end of the
stick and.l was nearer the centre, lint moved
towards the other end. Ho had his boots,
coat and pants on; I had removed my boots
and coat, and found it much easier to float.
Ilf remained with me about an hour, when
he cried out, “Oh my God!” and sank. The
end of the stick that I had hold of began to
sink, and I grasped it more in the centre, and
tied myself on as well as I could. 1 remem
bered everything quite distinctly until the
second day, when Iwas so cold that I thought
1 should sink, but tho stick held me up. 1
liave no . remembrance of anything
el?e until 1 found myself on board
of a steamer, commanded by Captain
McGinnis, bound for Campbleton. He told
rue that be picked me up about fifteen miles
below White River, more dead than alive. I
had been in the water from 11.50 on Saturday'
night until Tuesday at 9 AM. On Wednes
day morning, at 10 o’clock, he landed me at
White River, aud directed me to Mr. Noble,
who gave me’a pair of pants and boot®, for
which I sincerely express my thanks. I have
also to thank Mr. Grant Powell and Mr.
Kimpton, of Trois Pistoles, for clothing and
assistance to get to Quebee.

SPECIE PAYMENTS.
llenaaf General Garfleld. Chairman of
tbe Rankins and Currency Committee
—MI» Plan for Besaming Specie Pay.
meats.
The New York He.rrdT* Washington corres
pondent has had a talk with General Garfield
upon the subject of tbe resumption of specie
payments. We extract the following from
the report:
Correspondent—General, what are your
opinions on the question of resuming specie
payments ?
General Garfield—Well, I have not been
correctly reported on that subject. I saw a
statement the other day to the effect that I
was in favor of immediate resumption. Now,
that is not true. .
Correspondent—Then you don’t believe in
Horace Greolcy’s theory, that “the way to re
sume is to resume
General Garfleld—Not exactly; but I think
we should set our faces towards resumption.
Congress should take some action that would
indicate to tho people that we intend some time
to resume. This, would prepare the people for
it. It would give stability to trade and restore
confidence. There are thoso who hnliove we
can resume at once. Chief Justice Chase has
always believed that we can resume in six
weeks." This-has- been liis opinion since the
close of the war. H e regards the legal-tender
act as a war measure, not intended for time of
peace, and so do I. But 1 would not do any
thing that, would suddenly unsettle values anil
create great financial distress. That is what I
believe a sudden resumption of specie pay
ments would do. Resides, when we resume I
want it to be done in such a way that we shall
not be compelled to suspend again.
Correspondent—Do you think that if we
should resume without a sufficient amount of
coin in the Treasury to pay ont dollar for
dollar in gold for greenbacks there would be a
run upon the Treasury for gold?
General Garflold—Not necessarily. But if
we should resume with our present volume of
currency and our present reserve of coin we
could not continue to pay spocio; we would
he compelled to suspend again. The very
knowledge of tlie'Taet that wo were trying -to
do what everybody knows we cannqt do would 1
create a want of confidence in the public'
mind, and men would say, “Well, tho govern
ment will be compelled to suspend again; and
now, while it is paying gold we will get all we
can, and hold it*'- Thus would create a panic,
a run on the Treasury, -and itwould be furced
to shut its doors.
Correspondent-^-Wb»t is your plan, Gen
eral, for resuming?
Gen. Garfield-First of all, I think, there
should ,lw a contraction of the currency, not
violent, hut gradual. You remember that in
1860, Congress passed a resolution endorsing
the policy of Secretary McCulloch in favor of
contraction. McCulloch, however, was, so
spasmodic inhis efforts that after a short time
Congress passed another resolution ordering
that, there should be no further contraction of
the currency. Contraction, to bo beneficial,
should be' gradual and regular. The business -
community should know just how -much the
currency is to be redneed and when it Is to be
hon’d. subject' of contraction, however,
Is one which requires to be carefully handled. ..
My plan fon restoring the standard of value
and resuming specie payments is contained in
the following bill: . !
Beit enacted by the Senate and House, of JUpresentq
tivssof the United Stale* of America, in Congress as
sembled, Tbut onand after tho —day of —-S tbo
Secretary of the Treasury bo and be is hereby autho
rized and directed to pay gold coju of the United States
for any legal tender notes of the United States which
muy bo presented at the ofifico of the Assistant Treasurer '
at Now York, at the rate of one* dollar, in gold for on®
dollar and thirty cents iu legal tender notes* On ami
after the —day, tho rate shallho onodollar
iu gold forono dollar and twenty-nine cents in legal ten
der notes; and at tho begihbhur of and during each suc
ceeding month the amount of legal tender notes re
quired in exchange for one dollar in cold shall bo one
cent less than the amount required during the preceding
month,untilthocxchangc' ht'cordeaorte dollarin gola
for oue dollar in legal tender notes; and on, and after tbo
day —> l&'-i tho Secretary of the Treasury shall ox-,
cbonga gold for legal tender notes dollarfor dollar.' v
General Garneld*—Of course with this hud
as a prerequisite there wotild have to he pojhd
provision made for a contraption,of tho«cvu>
rcncy. •' •: ’•- ;■ • ‘v--
Correspondent—Do yovititeud to introduce
this hill at the next session ? , .
General Gartield—Yes, I shall probably iu-
PHILADELPHIA, FRIDA
troduce that or something like it. Ido not
claim originality for this plan. It is modeled
after the bill introduced in the British Parlia-.
ment in 1619 by Robert Peel, which, subse
quently became a law, and tinucr which Eng
land resumed specie payments after a suspen
sion of nearly a quarter ofa century. You see
the process is gradual. It would enable every
■ person to square his business and -to prepare
to transact it on a specie basis., Under this
act, orone similar to it, England resumed two
years before the time fixed by the law. As
soon as'we resumed I would do in favor of a
free banking act, so that every set of men who
.chose might go into the banking business, un
der proper restrictions, of course, as to their
reserves and liabilities.
CRIME.
THE RICHARDSON ASSASSINATION.
Particular* 4f, the Shooting of Albert
I). Btchardaon In the New York Tri
..bune Office Last Night.
• The Herald has this account of the affair:
. The city last night was disgraced by another
shooting aflray that is likely to result in the
death of tbe victim. Unlike most shooting
cases reported, the actors m this arc gentle
men of well-known-literary reputation—one
being a prominent journalist, tho other an
ex-professor of a Mary Land coliego and a
lawyer,
The public will remember that lu the
Herald of March 14, 1867, were detailed the
particulars of the shooting in Amity street,
near Broadway, of Albert D. Richardson, the
well known war correspondent of the Tribune
—who had just left tne Waverley Theatre
with Mrs. McFarland—by Daniel McFarland,
a lawyer, of No.. SO East Twenty-sixth street.
This assault grew Out of cettffn alleged in-.
trigues between Richardson* «md tho wife of
his assailant. The domestic relations of Mr.
McFarland have been the subject of legal in
quiry during a period of nearly three years,
and the court records show that Richardson
has played a conspicuous part throughout.
Last evening, between, nine and ten o’clock,
tbe following despatch was received from the
Fourth precinct at the Central Police office:
“From Fourth, 9J50 P. M.—Daniel McFar
land, a deputy assessor, shot Albert D. Rich
ardson,-attached to Tribune office, in the abdo
men, at 5.60 P. M... in the counting-room of the
office, and escaped. He was removed to Astor
Ilotuse and attended by Dr. Swann, who pro
nounced the wound fatal. Thcaflair is ofa
long standing, and caused by separation and
application for a divorce, McFarland’s wife
being accused of being" on too intimate rela
tions with Richardson.” •
Such is the intelligence sent to the Central
office. A Herald reporter visited the Tribune
office and other places and learned that
McFarland for a few days has had admission
behind the counter of the Tribune counting
room. About live days ago Richardson re
turned from the West. Last night ho entered
the counting-room, on the left, and engaged in
conversation with one of the clerks, by name
Daniel Furman. While -he was thus en
gaged McFarland, who sat inside the coun
ter, on the right, jumped up, drew a re
volver, • and walking over to the centre
of the counter at which another clerk,
named George W. King, was standing, fired
upon Richardson, and jumping over the
counter, made his escape. Richardson, after
being shot-, walked out to the street, entered'
the fciprucq street door, climbed the stairs and
proceeded to the rooms of Mr. Reed, manag
ing editor, where the private Secretary, llr.
Nicholson; was present, and informed him
that he was shot, at the same time handing
him his pistol, which he had not used. The
police soon after came in with a stretcher, to
remove Richardson, who walked down to the
street, was put in ax-hair and carried to the
Astor House, where he is temporarily re
siding. *
The news of the attempted assassination
spread rapidly through the city, and the
Tribune office was at once besieged by an
eager crowd, who learned but few particulars.
A visit at a later hour was made by our re
porter to Mr. McFarland, wbp was arrested
about eight o’clock by Captain Allaire and
Detective Finmof the Fourth precinct, at the
Westmoreland House, corner of Fourth av
enue and Seventeenth street, while in the act
of preparing for bed,and he seemed unusually
self-possessed. Mr. McFarland tietailed
minutely the particulars of the domestic
inroads made upon his home, and re?
viewed the action of the courts in
the case of the habeas corpus to recover the
custody of his child. He spoke in the most
delicate and endearing terms of Mrs. McFar
land, whom he characterized as chaste, pure
aud spotless until Richardson entered his
household. He stated that some time ago he
was offered 810,000 and a consulate if he would,
relinquish his claims upon his Wife, who, hel
asserts, is fraudulently married to Richardson
after a fraudulent divorce had been obtained.
McFarland states that before his wife left her
house she had a proposition from Richardson
of marriage.
The prisoner was accommodated in Captain
Allaire’s rooms. During the interview he ap
peared unusually cool aud collected, and
when asked for particulars as to last night’s
shooting, remarked:
“1 only know that there was a large crowd in
tbe Tribune office, aud was soon after at
home.' In the report of the previous shooting
injustice was done me. Richardson has
robbed me of everything I had dear on Cartli
—wife, children and happiness. As you are
a reporter of the Herald I 'wish you would re
view the circumstances and do mo justice,”...
The doctor probed the wound and found
that the stomach was injured, but the ball
could not be discovered. At first the wounded
man suffered great pain, but under the in
fluence of morphine jho soon grew easier, and
about midnight he was quite free from pain
apd collected in mind. He ' was throwing
up blood, but in limited quantity only, not.
more than might comb from tlie wounded
coat of tho stomach. He had been bleeding
but very little externally. In the opinion of
Dr. Swann the indications arc that thorois no
internal hemorrhage,and although the patient
Is in a critical condition, the fear of immediate
death wairnotse, imminent as to necessitate,,
the summoning last night of a coroner to take
an ante-rnortem examination. The principal
danger was that peritonitis may sot in and
thus terminate tne patient’s life.
These are briefly all the facts that could oe
ascertained at eleven, o’clock last evening,
when Mr. Richardson was still alive, with
slight prospects of recovery. li e received but
one wound in the abdomen, which the physi
cians pronounce likely to result in death. At s
eleven o ’clock last evening. no ante-mortem
statement by Richardson had been taken by
the coroner! • 1
A REBEL OITBAUF-
Attempted AssassinaUaii oi' ** Coneress-
man lnJHB*i*«lppi.
Tho Jackson (Miss.) Pilot of November 19
says:'
> ; “On Monday last,at Dnrant.Holmes county,
a BonnbHcan meeting was addressed by Gen
eral McKee, General Barry, Mr. Lynch and
others. While General Barry was speaking,
Oliver Stevens, a hotel keepor at Durant, in
terrupted him several times; and twice drew
his pistol and threatened to shoot the General.
The meeting passed off, however,without any
serious disturbance.
“After the meeting bad adjourned, General
Barry and General McKee took supper at the
house of Mr. Williams: After supper Barry
and a young man named Kessonden went to
tho post-ofhee, whieh is kept In the storo of
Mr. Allen. They went in the hack door—the
front door being locked." A few momonts. a£-
•tor alight tap was heard at the backdoor;
which -was opened by Mr. Alien,,
and Stovens vyas admitted. He imme
diately began cursing Barry— who was

suited him. Stevens replied with an oath,and
drew bis pistol. Perceiving this, .Fessenden,
who was unarmed, sprang to seize Stevens’s
arhqbntwaa thrown violently against some''
boxes, and before be could recover himself,or
Barry could defend himself, Stevens fired, tho
ball 1 grazing Barry’s' breast and. .passing
through his right arm near the shoulder.
“StcvenS immediately passed* out of•the
door, and ran round in front. Before he en
tered tho store he hud a horse saddled ready
for flight, and placed in charge of a man in
front of tho store. Fortunately a number of
colored men wero in tho street, and when they
heard the shot fired one df them, with great
presence of mind, cried out: ‘ General Barry
is shot; go for the stable.’ In doing so they
found the horse which was awaiting Stevens,
and secured the map who was holding it. and
probably would havo used him roughly had
not the Sheri (Valid others interfered. Stevens,
perceiving tho situation, ran through back
yards and by-ways and escapod. The last
heard from him he had got a horse abont a
mile anil a liaif from Durant, and wont in the
direction of Lexington. The wildest excite
ment prevailed for a time,
(.‘General Bany was removed to the house
of 'Mr. Williams and surgeons sent for. The
bone of his arm was shattered terribly. By
skillful resection the fragments wero taken
out for the space of three inches, and it is
thought that it will not bo necessary to ampu
tate the arm. At lust accounts lie was 'doing
as well as could be expected.
“General Barry is tho Republican candidate
for Congress, and was engaged in the canvass
of the Third district .”
The N. Y. World says:
The commencement of the suit before Judge
Murray, of Delaware county, and his order
displacing eight of the direotorS of the Erie
Railroad, are but the signal for a flood of in
junctions from the courts. This order of
Judge Murray was served on the directors on
"Wednesday afternoon. An application was
made by tne Erie officials yesterday to Judge
Balcoin, of Broome county, who happened to
be in town, for a counter-injunction. He im
mediately granted an order staying proceed
ings against the directors until the -nearing of
a motion, to be made on the second Tuesday
in December, to vacate the order of Judge
Murray.
A separate suit has been commenced before
Judge Barnard for an order restraining Mr.
Ramsey and associates from prosecuting their
suit in any form. Under these counter-suits,
the Erie managers remain in possession of the
road, and carry on their work as usual, and
havo still the advantage of holding possession
of the battle-ground and the prize so strongly
contested. WHat the next move of the courts
will be it is impossible to tell: but, now that
injunctions have commenced, it is hardly pos
sible that- they will stop here, but will con
tinue to be issued, for somo time to come, on
bath sides.
There arc all manners of rumors as to tbe
object of this new movement against"the Erie
directors. In some quarters the case is believed
to lie a counter-suit, brought at tbe instigation
’ of Mr. Vanderbilt, to force a settlement in tbe
litigation instituted by the Erie managers
against him. Other parties claim that it is
merely a sequel to the Alb:my and Susque
hanna Railroad war. It may be noticed that
some of the Republican journals are striving
to give it a political turn. But, unfortunately
for "these critics, the injunctions both for and
against the Eri <; Directors have been Issued by
Republican judges; The suit before Judge
Barnard was not'cummencodnntil after Judge
Baleom issued an order directing a stay of
proceedings. There are evidently two sides
to this controversy, and it will be well for all
to possess their souLs with patience until the
facts are all elicited.- From present appear
ances, the only parties likely to be benefited
by the contest are the lawyers.

will be remembered, will probably soon be
returned to hor officers and used for thepurpose
for which she was bought. It is also known
that another steamer lias been purchased and
is now receiving her armament in a Now
England port. Thus second vessel, although
not so largo or powerful as tho Hornet, is
yet capable of great speed and is in
tended to successfully elude the Spanish
cruisers and land Hor complement of
men on the island. In. the meantime,
every endeavor is being made to secure
the sinews of war. Subscription hooks are
being actively circulated in Cuban circles, the
ladies are donating freely from their stocks of
jewelry and luxuries, and no stone is left un
turned which can by any- possibility aid in
sustaining the cause. The Junta have estab
lished headquarters at a hotel in this city,
where meetings have been held nearly every
night for two weeks. -These meetings are, of
course, held in private, but if one may
judge from the busy manner of their partici
pants, it is evident that the tree is about to
bring forth fruit.
New Yobk, Nov, «!.—Evacuation Day was
celebrated yesterday with considerably more
ardor than usual of lato years. The military,
and the firemen paraded and the public build
ings Were deeprated with flags.

were released yesterday, and Marshal Harlow
placed an armed tug—tho Martin Kalbfleisch
—to watch them. Work was resumed upon
them by permission of District-Attorney
Pierrepont.
’ - A stay of-proceedings has been obtained by
the defendants, from Judge Balcom, of the
Supreme Court, at Binghampton, in the great
Erie Railway suit, in which Joseph H, llam
sey is plaintiff, and Jay Goukl, James Eisk,

stood that a motion is to he made, fourteen
days hence, at a' special term, to be held at
Delhi, Delaware county, for an order dissolv
ing the injunction granted by Judge Murray,
of the Sixth District, on Tuesday last.

“DAVID CAllllIOK” AT TIIK CHrSTNOT,
—Miss Keene produced. last night, a little
comedy entitled littvid Garrick. It is an
adaptation by T. W. Robertson, the well
known dramatist; lie procured bis materials
from a French author, who, in turn, bad bur
rowed from the German a pretended incident.
in the life of the great English actor. Koburt
i on’s arrangement of tlio comedy is older than
the more popular of bis plays, and there Is a
certain want of finish and elegance in the con
struction, and here and there a bit of strained
humor which betray the hand not yet
practised. But the work is in Robertson’s
peculiar style. Its situations are often very
strong, but" they are constructed of simplest
material; and the language is easy, natural,
often witty, (several of the characters, “Gar
rick,” “Mr. Ingot,” “Ohivey” and “Miss In
got” possess strong individuality and are very
entertaining personages. The plot is-simple
apd yet it is interesting and sometimes evon
Sitbctic. The scene in tho second act, where
arrick pretends to be intoxicated, is not par
ticularly pleasant, but it is relieved in a great
measure by the gentleness and beauty or the
succeeding passages. Tho drama will
not rank with any of the bettor
comedies of the same kind—with Kcade’s
Petj Woffington,tor instanco, nor has it intrinsic
merit enough to hold a high place among
the later plays by Robertson. Iu the hands of
good actors^,it is simply entertaining, that is
all. Men like Mr. Sot hern and Mr. E. L.
Davenport, both of whom have appeared in
it, have talent enough to give to the character
of “'Garrick” an interest with which the
author has not invested it. Mr. Sheridan, last
night, succeeded, in some degree, in this di
rection ; hut his personation was not as good
as usual. Heseemed to want hearty sympathy
with the part, and to,feel that the author had
not given him a fair opportunity. The per
formance began with' a comedietta entitled,
Two Can Play at That Game. Miss Keene. ;
Mr, Mordaunt, and Mr. McManus appeared
in this play, and gave such satisfaction to the
audience that they wero called before the cur
tain. This evening the saino bill will-be're
peated. To-morrow afternoon the first per
formance tor children will be given, when
New Bed It id inn Hood will be produced.
—Mr. Edwin Forrest will conclude bis en
gagement at the "Walnut Street Theatre this
evening with The Gladiator. Mr. ForroSthas
been very successful during the fortnight of
his sojourn at tho Walnut. He lias .played to
crowded bouses every niglit: aud bis persona
tions, solar from having deteriorated, have
improved in a remarkable degree. We believe
Mr. Forrest to be a bettor actor to-day than lie
ever was, and we congratulate him upon the
possession of enthusiasm for his art which is
the result of noble! dissatisfaction and the
cause of untiring aspiration for better things'.
It is honorable to him that be should hold the
highest place upon the American stage, at %
time when younger men, whose notions are
in nicer accord with tbe finer tastes of the
period, are crowding forward and claiming
the loftiest honors.
For to-nion'ow afternoon and evening alt ho
Wainnt Enoch Ardcti is announced.;
—Don Giovanni was producedat the Academy
of Music last night by tho German Opera
Company, anij judging the performance trom
that lower standpoint from which it ought to
be regarded, it was clever. Madame
Joliannsen, particularly, deserves praise for
the manner m which she gave the musicoi'the
part of “Donna Anna.” Mr. ilabelmann also
fave entire satisfaction in the difficult aud
cautiful music of ids part. The chorus aud
orchestra were very good indeed. To-night
Robert Le Didble Will t>c given. To-morrow
afternoon L« Dume Blanche will lie repeated,
and in the evening the season will conclude
with a performance of a Nvjhl in
Grenada and of tho third act of Faust.
—Mrs. Drew will produce The School for Scan
dal at tbe Arch this evening in fine style. Tbe
cast includes Mrs. Drew, Mrs. Maeder, Mr.
Cathcart, Mr. Craig, Mr. James, Mr. Mackay
as “Bir I'etor Teazle” and other popular mem
bers of the company. To-morrow night Bou
cicault’s comedy How She Isovex Him will be
presented.
—The American announces for this evening
a choice miscellaneous entertainment, in
cluding the amusing personations of Burnett,
an excellent ballet, a pantomime, singing,
dancing, negro delineations, &c., &o.
—That master of art-magic and necromancy,
Signor Blitz, will do divers wonderful things
this and every evening at the Assembly Build
ings,
—The Living Curiosities, inchidiug the fat'!
woman the skeleton man, with the attenuated ]
form, and the gentleman who was homiu
Jerusalem and nurtured upon Mt. Ararat, nail
be exhibited in the Assembly Buildings to
night.
—An entertainment of a novel and, humor
ous character, inchidiug songs, burlesque, lec
ture, imitations and eccentricities generally,
will be given at Natatorium Hall, on Satur
day evening next, by our townsman, B. F.
Duane, with whose proficiency in' his pecu
liar line many of our readers are doubtless
well acquainted. A treat may be anticipated.
Litti-i/l’s Living Aon.—The thirteen hun
dred and twenty-ninth number of this proved
and established periodical ([notes in full the
now-famous article in the Quarterly fieriac, in
which Mrs! Stowe is check-mated. It is diffi
cult to see bqw her forthcoming solf-vindicar
tion can possibly cancel the damage inflicted
on her main position by this attack, while in
se veralminor quarters she is evidently worsted
beyond hope of recovory. A collateral Byron
article, of a simply narrativo character, repre
sents the poet at work, and is borrowed from
Chambers’ Journal. A ringing, gallant, chival
rie story of French life, translated expressly
for Littell under the title of- “The
Portrait in my-TJncle’s Dining-Room,” roaches
its third number. For a class of more studious
readers, there is a protest by Mr. Alfred Barry,"
from, tTUf*. -Contemporary t lleview, on behalf of
metaphysical philosophy against positivism,,
called " The Battle of the Philosophies.” The,
Spectator yields excellent articles on “ The
Pope and Civilization” and "The Millionaires
of New York”—the last beiug snob a column
to Mr. Vanderbilt as he would prefer not to
have Taised; and the whole number is simply
an exhibit of the very best floating literature
of the week, with sparkles of poetry, and such
’granules ot news as possess a permanent so
lidity aud.merit. LUMPS Living Aye is the most
perfect of any of onr anthologies or (selected
compilations. We are able to regard it with
real respect,- since it« hundred volumes indi
' cate a birthday when questions of international
copyright had not assumed the significance
they now possess,and when the advertisement
itgavotoKjteratnroinauew country was a,
positive favbr to foreign publishers. The
skill and tact of the editor have often
provoked our admiration; he possesses
some sutc and secret test by whish nothing
that possesses the true mettle of excellence,
out of all the running ephemera of the time,
can possibly eseape capture and assimilation.
No reader, not an editor, can possibly attend,
as he professionally does, to the whole pro
geny of aorial literature and journalism; and
the subscriber who gives his 'confidence to
Littell becomes, as it were, the calm and irre
sponsible guest of a host who knows abso
lutely all that ia passing, and, whoi reads to him ;
