THE NOVEL OF JAMES, l..
We have go& lIule out of our track. this
month, and paid an English author, G.! p. r..
James, 5000 for his story. for we DO moi Zee
that we have any more right 10 appropriate
mans brain work, than TO put on his coat
ADD hat and march off as if The broad cloth
and felt were our own properly. We have
paid all the contributors TO Ihs number their
own price, and that right willingly ,+now
the simple but pregnant questions which We
put to The American press and AMI rican
people, are:+' Shall we have an American
literature? Is il as profitable TO scissors aslo
buy?

wood and drawers OF water, in the feIdof
labor occupied by American magazines.
have right 10 ask these questions and We
ask them. Brothers of The hardy west. the
suLny South and toilng easi-what say YOU?
