of Miss Evans's works. Pining for a eareer,it

and serve him right, to a cot in a small-pox
hospital, where hewrithesia"bloated crimson

Edith the governess, who happens to bo a
sublunary angel, goes about all the time doing
good. Dr. Grey, who has loved the white
mouthed woman, arrives with news of the
dissipated husband's demise just in time to find
the lady dead, with her eyes turned to the sea.
Miss Evans treats all this it her well-known
spasmodic style, whieh.she prefatorially ex
plains is as much a part of her aS her nose:
Her reading of late has been in Matthew
Arnold and tha'authors he has criticised and
reccminended. Her bric-a-brac erudition
dresses all the pages, and her heroeS are con
ceived With a woman's nervous determination
to carve out great personages. Her art is of
course entirely rococo and false. Her book,
called " Vashti, or Until Death us do Part,"
is very neatly put out by Carleton, aid sold by .
Claxton, Remsen & Haffellinget.
Other recent publications by Mr. Carleton
.are the following, to be found on the shelves
of Claxton, Remsen & Haffellinger :
In . his monograph on "The Living Writers
of the South," James W. Davidson, A. M., ac
cumulates notices of no less than 241 literary
persons still alive below Mason and Dixon's
line. We think the book a decidedly valuable
one. Under the better auspices now favoring
the career of letters in the South, we feel sure
that she ds soon to have a literature; and this
book, in which she takes her account of stock,
will show exactly with what capital she begins
at the close of het greatest crisis. It will sur
prise a good many people to learn that two hun
dred and oneliving Southerners have published
books ; forty more are engaged in the profes
sion of literature in one way or another. Of
the bookmakers, 74 have written fiction';
verse, 112; poetry, 8; in history—including
geography, biography, memoirs and travels
there are 63; in theology, 20; in science, 15;
in philology, 6; in philosophy, 5; in law, 2.
The aggregate number of volumes is 739. Mr:
Davidson gives a good many examples of
the lucubration of his her'oes and heroines ;
they are of every degree of merit, and it is
a fine trait in the biographer that he does
not puff the bad ones. His idea has been, as
lie frankly explains, • "to present Southern
writers as they are, not to prove that the
South has this or that literature, but only to
' show • what literature the South hart." To
adhere to such a resolution without partisan
ship must be very difficult, and it is Mr
Davidson's merit that he has done so with
integrity. We have but one fault to find. In
a work destined to- a modest but permanent
place in the history of American letters, it is a
pity that the names of authors are not sepa
rated from the merely topical contents of the
index ; the latter is a very large one, and the
proper names are so to speak lost in it.
Why Carlton has consented to print his,
name as publisher on the title-page of "Strange
Visitors," the clairvoyant book of horrible
travesties, is a mystery to us. The stuff pro
f_se-tily dictated by " Byron, Thackeray, Mrs.
Browning, lrving r " and the rest, is quite un
grammatical, and beneath contempt. Per
haps the most revolting is Artemus Ward,
with his address to the Queen as " Victoria
.Thown." .
"Phemie's Temptaton," by Marion Har
land, is a novel written in vielentpartisanship
of woman's rights. Phernie is represented as
a writer, an original character and a genius,—
not always the most agreeable kind of person -
for a husband to live with. One instinctively
feels that Hart's side of the story is not told.
The genius considers that she ought to dis
regard her husband's wishes and as
sert her own superior will. , The hus
band, to do him justice, is particularly
worthless, and is a figure that must. have
given great pain to the author to delineate, if
she is at all womanly. A divorce concludes
'this disagreeable novel, which is put forward
not as a story with a moral, but as a realistic
study from real (married) life. As uch it is
squalid and- unpleasant, without the pro
fundity that gives some unpleasant books
their reason for existence. A nouvelette )
Charybdis, is bound up with it.
In "To-day," Mr. Richard B. Kimball at
tempts once more that kind of thing pre
determined to suit every taste, to tickle every
fancy, which in the kindred art of painting
is knomon as the eclectic. From Smollett's

They involve sudden-leaps into unforeseen
-depths of.human-action,perplexing - struggles
through very dynastic uncertainties, or ascents
to unexpected developments of oharaider, try
ing to one's judgment and patience, and often
hurtful to one's pride of opinion. • Our pre
conceptions, unverified by a set of obstinate
facts, are distressed by the unsatisfactory con
tradictions. We halt dissatisfied on a dusty
road, which the tramp of events has 'worn
smooth, and left.nothing lotinovelty or an in
dustrious fancy.e • 1 : .. • -- ,T' ' ' , '
Besides, • the great majority, of readers are
partisans, and have a right to be disappointed
at and to blame those unreasoning conclusions, .
which slide inevitably out of realities. They
confront sternly , , those facts which affront
them; by insisting on happening in .a . way
or order different from their , expectations
or wishes. Hitherto, we have been obliged to
conform to the hard conditions .thas Inherent
in actual chronicles, and haye -been forced to
submit our readers to these annoying cer
tainties, . . .
We can, however, now dismiss these tan
talizing fixities of events; which have run be
fore us, and left us the wearisome business of
catching• up to them; and leaving them to
overtake us, if they can, to write .up a future
history of events, which ought to happen, and
which will greatly disappoint the sanguine ex
pectations of Americans if they do not. The
excuse for failure will be lessened by the out•
lined path which we here stretc h downward
into the wooded future. .
We take it for granted, then,: that all our
future Presidents will be the very best and
most competent men in the nation, spontane
ously acclimated to the office, and not wrung
out by industrious party conventions for politi
cal ends. Uncommitted to committees or po
litical sponsors, and unweighted by onerous
.gratitude to'ex-working party canvassers, they
will naturally hereafter pensively appoint to
Cabinetplacea and diplomatic posts statesmen
of pre-eminent ability, patriotism ' and integ
rity, who will as modestly wait to be invited
in, as the same clasp now, when in, stand as if
hopelessly deaf, to be distinctly invited out.
That they will reluettintly, if' at all, subject
weak citizens to the pains and penalties of ex
ecuting and garroting • the laws, or the slow
and unpracticed, to the,,heavy tasks of carry
ing the public burdens.
The public debt will naturally disappear. Per
haps some fortunate speculator in petroleum
or Erie stock will pay it off rather than have it
in the way, or see it left to bear the market in
opportunely. The secret of making money
scarce will doubtless lead to the discovery of
making it plenty; and then the public debt,
being of no use to anybody, will naturally
stand aside, as poor relations in times of plenty.
Besides, gentlenien being selected, not for
their own interests, but for the public good,
will, it is to be expected . ; donate their salaries
to a sinking fund, which will carry
it off, as some companies do their stock
holders' dividends, to unfathomed bot
toms. In fact, if the debt. could be cut up
into dividends, nothing more would be heard
of it. If the whole truth may be safely told,
the difficulty in the extinguishment of the
debt will not bo so much in its undoubted dis
appearance, as in settling. upon that plan
among the numbers presented, which will be
permitted to hurry it out of sight.
Of course, when the Federal obligations
quit, the State and city debts will not have the
face to remain behind.
These subjects out of the way, members of
Congress, being then gentlemen, as well as
educated, capable and honest men ; , dragged
unwillingly from and not into business, will
deal withthe few remaining topics with a wise
silence,—and this course - we take for.grant-ed
now; or else will discuss them and not each
other, or the encyclopaedia of unrelated ques
tions, the publication of which now so en
hances the price of paper. ..,
This improvement in our iiirongressional de
bates will have . a corresponding advantage,
also, to those foreigners who, desirous of
learning our system, venture upon the speeches
made at the Capitol, and, hopelessly misled by
the terms employed, and the ferocious adjec
tives that commit horrible murders on almost
every paragraph, confound our • geography
with that of the Cannibal Islands. We also
take it for granted, that our public men will
wait for events to justify the crude specula
-lions, which they toss out in conversations '
with reporters,before cruelly amusing the good
natured public with their vaticinations. Posy
sibly, too, the spread of common schools and
Sunday schools, teaching grammar and mo
rality, may lead to the disuse by our print
rushing politicians of styles of speech quite
incomprehensible,
and of words so raw in out
line and so destitu te of middle letters as to lead
profane people to fancy that they are imita
tions of their own heedless expressions. Of
course, in the better days now dawning,
"rings" will only be used to tie quadrupeds to
posts, or to restrain vicious bipeds in state
prisons. Combinations to do good and in
crease the general happiness , will naturally
supplant those curious American circles,whose
peripheries are not equidistant from thp centre,
but which consist in fact only of a centre, and
that centre, self.
Happiness, and not wealth, being thus the
main pursuit, of course many kinds of occu
pations, now called business, such as brokers,
money-lenders, etc., will cease, and those now
engaged in these so-called pursuits—of others,
will look after the-poor to minister unto them
and not take then! in. The superior claims of
charity upon the fortunate, who are now liv
ing, will naturally be enhanced by the fact
that, being at present in the world, they can
not reasonably expect to live much longer
than Ifl7o, and may quit much earlier, leaving
some selfish heirs not disposed to divide ex
cept for an equivalent.
Many judges being released from their pre
sent arduous duties of so administering law as
to get re-elected—for then no one will value an
- office so much a sinecure—Vll have some
time r especially_in_New _."York,_to_ study law;
and some courts of appeal can be repealed.
The only injunctions issued will' be oral, de
livered, not to railroad speculators, but to in
discreet juveniles,unwarily betrayed into their
first and last offence. The expense of court
houses being thus partially saved, it• is ex
pected, that the small unventilated places in
which law is peddled out will bo enlarged,
and. ahumane effort be thus made to save the
exposed lives of suitors, lawyers, jurorii, and
judges.
The American Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals will naturally, with larger
means, extend its operations, and embrace
employers, suffering from servants of inde
pendent ways, from domestics who take six
evenings in the 'week out, and allow their mis
tress one, and who, for certain discreet con
siderations, not worth mentioning here, per
mit those, who diVide their estates with them,
to occupy a portion of the same house, on con
dition of not interfering with their separate
apartments.
We also take it for granted that woman's
rights will not be wrongfully urged or with
held ; but will be so adjusted, that the public
will ascertain what some people would ask for,
if they •did not become incomprehensible
through abundant talking, or what—consider
ing the modesty of the applicants—they really
ought,to have, although they do not clamor
for it in a way that makes some:suspect, that
men are either to be extinguished outright, or
else kept for a few hundred years on pro-:
bation, until they shall have learned to be re
spectful, just; and umnanlike.
In this coming good time, men and women
aro to be ! equal,—especially the women. If
any differences are discdvered in any way be
tween them, these differences are to be sub
mitted to conventions chosen by the wisest
women, and the differences either to be en
tirely suppressed, or theAissenters all expelled
from the United States. Uniformity is to be
secured at all hazards. if necessary, ballot
boxes will be attached to cradles; and women,
by any cause confined from active canvassing,
will be allowed to vote twice at the next elec
tion, in order t o bring up their rights to a point'
where nature left them.
We further take it for granted, that children
will then be content to ,be vivacious; will be
left tOibe witching ways, the pulpy and dewy
frctilmess, of the morning glory of life,'Until
they shall Lave gradually come to the ripe

to seventeen years of age.

• now. Active, bustling infants will give a new
ardor to journalism, and produce a more enter
prising corps of wide-awake newspaper cor
respondents, to keep up the stock of telegraph
companies by information which, being con
stantly in advance of the facts, would fairly
represent and be fitting types of the infantile
correspondents themselves, and necessitate
additional contradictions. As territorial gover
nors, obliged to take hazardeus journeys on
our railways,—which often intervene and pre
vent older men from reaching their destina
tion—they would be nimble enough to get out
of the wreck, or perhaps smart enough to
keep their deaths secret, and have their ances
tors draw their salary,—thus accomplishing,
although not present, the principal businesS of
that office. Then, too, how much livelier
would things go on in our churches, if, instead
of the dull, old elders, deacons, or vestrymen,
.now seldom elected before they reach the great
age of thirty, and who, when they were boys,
were smart enough, although .not as alert as
their own boys now, were allowed to rest their
stiffer awkward limbs in their pews, and eccle
siastical affairs were managed by their young
ers ? The sick would be visited by cheerful,
round-faced persons, bright with the 'health
which would be brought as a living fact to the
invalid; widows would be comforted by the
presence of dark-haired and hopeful youths,
and not depressed by the aspect of people en
cumbered with wives and the chilling experi
ence of at least a score and a halt' of years;
while the poor would receive liberally from
those who well know, that the best use for
money is to keep it in vigilant circulation.
Business would also be conducted on youth
ful principles, in consonance with the other
rapid ways' oft the times ; capital
.would be
nimble and alert, creating . 'profits so lively
that they, would leap back into the common
and rapidly running current. Old legislative .
peculators, bank and trust defaulters, would
soon in thenatural course of things, and with
out shocks of legal trials,—which generally
-produce no resulta,—be displaced ; while young
iniquity would scarcely acquire the rime and
rust which now incrust so many of the old in
struments of corruption, making them almost
respectable. Biographies, now often running
tediously through' so many chapters, would be.
brief; as an American life might be assumed
to close by substantially at twenty-five at
least, and we should get the rich morning.
cream, without wearying ourselves with col
lecting the thin globules that float on the pan
of age.
In the better times to which of course every
body looks, we take it for granted, also, that
the every-day arts and the familiar sciences,
now taught in schools and colleges, will be
laid aside; and that Greek, Latin, French,
German, Italian, Irish, and other tongues,—
those sad reminders of Babels and other poly
glot attempts and results,—will give place to
more practical studies. How to cook, so as
'not to destroy the remnants of stomachs left
by candy-eating, hot breads, and other delect
able addictions of the old barbarous times
w hich America has passed dyspeptically
through; how to get a husband or 'wife, in.
every way suited to the expectations andideas
of different members of the family, and on a
scale mathematically mljusted to the pecuniary
latitude and longitude calculated from the pa
ternal meridian; ?row to scale a.tariff for-con
ductors, 'Which shall riot raise the market
price of gold rings, studs, and heavy watches,
and yet leave something for the directors to
operate the stock with; the best methods of
acquiring a fortune without the stale process
of failure and .settling with creditors; the
mode of conducting railway Collisions and
steamboat explosions, without ruining whole
families and destroying rising communities at
a blow, and without leaving so many facetious
queslions to funny coroners and irresistibly
comic jurors; a method of advertising wares
and leaving some praiseful adjectives not used
I up; a system which should graduate the de
crease in weights and measures to the price;
and how to make an hour's work go as far as
ten old-fashioned absurd hours,—these• will
help to furnish out a curriculum of study for
institutions high and low.
The fashions will be regulated by the Secre
tary of the Treasury, who wiffuse a daily tele
graphic bulletin, so that no one shall have any
advantage over another.
The President of the United States, by way
of keeping his band in, may practice on a
Sunday-school every Sunday„addressing them
in rotation, and going over those in New Jer
sey and Texas several times, if a safe pais can
be secured. The antique modes of mining
will be abolished altogether. A central bureau,
located in Wall street, will so work all kinds
of veins and arteries, auriferous, argentiferous
and verdibackish, as to entice out all their
values on call.
'The traditions about gold are to be wrought
up into poetry, and thus forever forgotten. '
We have been put in possession of the ad-
van& sheetS of several reports, to he made to
•the various State legislatures in 1909, on "The
Absence of Legislative Corruption," from
which it is manifest, that nothing with moaay
in it ever reaches the capitals of that clay and
that the members are left to the tedious busi
ness of practical legislation, their spare time
bbing,uniused with antiquarian researches into
the capital chances for money-making . be
tween 1800 and 1870, It is also apparent from
these coming reports that great amusement is
to be afforded by the study of the severely vir
tuous styles of examinations, conducted by
committees of our time, into alleged briberies
of fellow-members; while the hotel - bills
of the cautious investigators are to be 're
garded as inimitable specimens of the gastro
nomic abundance of their predecessors in
America.
We also take for granted, that the railway
system of the United States will be wonder
fully simplified. We now make it a matter of
boasting that since, the beginning of our rail
ways, in 1829, we have extended them until,
in forty years, they have reached a length of
38,600 - index, or a circuit around the earth one
mare half times ; costing in their construction
arfd, equipm ,rit $1,700 ; 000.000, or a sum equal •
to two-thirds of the debt of the United States;
employing 8,000 engines and 13'6,000 ears, or
enofh, if plaCed side by side, to reach from
No . York to Chicago, and carrying *annually
145,0'0,000 of passengers, or a number more
than four times the whole population, men,'
women, children,. and John Smiths put to•
gether. We are mbilant over the completion,
in four years, of hue Pacific Railroad; .1,900
miles in length; forming a line from New
York to.Sair I.!ranersco of 3,353 miles, strain
inu across prairies; chasing off herds of buf

Mountains with iron maces.
All these performances are, in the absence
of anything better, and in our poor beginning - A,

Chicago will then have so many elevators,

with blooded stock, and will stand out in
round completeness, not isolated by a heritage
which kept it aloof from the world, but linked
in a rosy chain of productive good with the
happy brotherho o d. of work, prosperity, and
well-doing.
We need hardly add, that we shall leave oil
praising ourselves when we shall most de
serve praise, and cease to bo sensitive to for
eign censure when we shall be hardy enough
to laugh at it.
As everybody is naturally expecting to be
happy, so we expect that everybody will be,
without being seriously hurt or stunted by

THE BOHAN' COUNCIL.
An Austrian Opinion.
From the Wanderer of Vienna, Nov. 22.1
Though few practical results are expected
.froni the December ecclesiastical, assembly it
is attracting more and more the attention of
the ixilitical world. A correspondent of the
Augsburg Gazette writes from Rome to that
journal that now,as in the time of the Council
of Constance, two parties stand opposite to
each other in the Eternal City. Olio of these
rrialritains the doctrine that "the Pope is supe
rior to the Council, which represents, so to
speak, the Holy Father's assessor:" while the
other insists that "the attribute of infallibility
does not belong to the Pope,but to the Church
assembled in Council"
In the expression, " the Pope Is the minister
ing head (cop': niinisteriele) of the Church," the
hierarchical absolutists lay the stress on the
head and the others on the minister. It Is
known to what contests trifles like these gave
rise at the councils of Basel and Ferrara. The
Paris Libor: i lately published a letter from
Rome which gave some curious particulars
about the parties in the coming Council. Car
dinal Antonelli, it is stated, will have no in
fluence whatever, and his opponent, Morode,
to his own great disappointment, just as little.
On the other hand, the foreign prelates seem
likely to be the roasters of the situation. Dupan
loup- will' play a very important part, and
Deschamps, Bishop of Mantles, will be the
leader of the Belgian clergy. The bishops of
Fulda will form agroup by themselves, which
will comprehend the majority of the German
bishops. Equally, the Jesuits will rally to their
standard all who desire to elevate the Sylla
bus into a creed, and who are covinced or
affect to be so, that the personal infallibility of
the Pope will be the crowning glory of the
Catholic ecclesiastical constitution. In spite
of all the efforts of the last-named party, how
ever, it cannot be doubted that many of
the clergy will decline to :march in leading
strings. ,
FOREIGN ITEMS.
Lesseps versus France.
A Paris letter, in the Indepenciancs Beige,
says People here have been greatly aston
ished at the attack taide by 31. de Lasseps at
the Ismailia banquet, and in the presenceof
the Empress, against the French government,
relative to its refusal to press for a reform in
the capitulations. From this circumstance the
conclusion is 'drawn that the famous title of
Duke de Suez is burled. For myself, I never
attached the slightest importance to that
rumor."
Earl Derby's Fortune.
The Londen.Recerd says that the late Earl
of Derby has left a fortune of .£1.90,0 a year.
When his lordship succeeded to bis estates
they sere said to be worth 1:60,000 a year ; but
the greatincrease is attributed to the wonder
fal extension of factories in Lancashire, and
t comequent en ormolu, increase of buildings.
A illiyieteathe Letter. •
Pire Hyacinthe has written a letter from
New York to Emile de Girardin, in which he
Says :
I offer up prayers that the cause of liberty
.may triumph and bear fruit in Europe as it
does in this noble country: — That, with the
triumph and fruitfluness of Christianity, is
the sole safety of the present, the solo hope of
the future. I congratulate you, Monsieur, on
the talent you apply to the service of the first
•of these causes and on the respect which,
lacking faith, you accord the see ond.
A Noble Bankrupt.
Lord Justice Gifford : of England, reversed
the decision of Commissioner Winslow and
decided that the Duke of Newcastle, though a
peer,
can be made a bankrupt. Notice of ap
peal to the House of Lords against this judg

MMON..
South • SintirJesus Cotton Cultivated in
Georgia.
(From thq Columbus (Ga.) "Enquirer, Dec.2.l
4 1Ve have noticed that a diploma was
awarded at the Georgia State Fair to Dr. 0. B.
Leitner, of Geneva, for a fine specimen of
Routh merican cotton. Dr. Leitner yesterday
left a boll of this cotton with us,
and it is really a variety that de
serves attention. The boll is much
larger than any cotton boll we ever saw before.
The flocks or locks bang down beneath. the
tod* to the length of five and six inches, and
hese flocks are distinct in their whole length,
being five in number. It is easier to believe
than to doubt after seeing this boll, that fifty
such will weigh a pound ! The fibre is flue
and silky.
Dr. Leitner procured the seed of this cotton
from Venezuela. He alai • li4 for it,after cultiva
ting it in an unfavorable season, that it grows
rapidly and matures within fourteen weeks
after the seed are planted; that if planteclln
•July it will mature earlier than the native cot
ton planted early in the Spring; that it is very
productive, the stalks averaging one hundred
and fifty Rolle-and such bolls! that, it is
exempt from rust, stands drought extrordi
narily well and is of superior staple. It re
luires no comment of ours to convince plan
ters that a variety of cotton possessing these
qualities is a most valuable one.
ANOTHER LORDLY SPORTSMAN.
The Marquis ef Westminster:
The Marquis of Westminster, whose in
-.dome is said to be equal to about ,for,ooo,gold, a
day, and is largely increasing every year,hus 7 --
so we are teld—become a member 01 the racing
fraternity in England. This will be joyful news
for the-" Spiders" of the turf. They have been
rather down-hearted lately. The casualties
among their once wealthy Victims have been
unpleasantly numerous. The ) . farquis of Hast
ings died a bankrupt. The Dukes of Newcastle
and Hamilton, the Earl of Westmoreland, and
ball a score more have been sold up. •It
really began-to be a very dark prospect for
4 tentlemen" who live by their wits. But now,
in the very nick of time, comes another fat
