American literature sun lacks a Mel-Nrt
ten history of American diplomacy in Europe Il
might be objected that the subject is t, barren 70
warrant such an undertaking but hollow q Il
may seem at first view, there is yet an admrbe
underplot of facts for the construction OF yoaus
which could not fail to be great literary suece..
Certainly the subject could not be treated serOgl
w. its utter innocence Of serious events woull
preclude such hope; on the contrary, the iora
and the interest of the work would repose on u.
insignifcance of the subject. The work woUl
thus, while offering something Of historical cAr
acttr, enter largely into the field of sarcasm; Ak
while exposing the ineficieney of American dipk
macy in Europe, and holding it up TO the just rid.
cule of the American people, it would poa, out
the reforms needed Such book is in course II
preparation and will be published in Newton
during the present Winter. Ii swritten by arn.
tltman occupying high diplomatic position 10
Europe, who has become convinced Of the thorough
rottenness and uselessness ofthe system, as new in
operation, and who has determined to give such "a
expose of it as will arouse the attention Of tie
people of the United States to the subject Il
will be secret history, full of piquant, startla,
interest, and will bring to light facts little dreanci
of by the people who will read It,
An official announcement appears in the Moaaw
this morning, fixing the 18th Of November as the
day of closing the great Exhibition. II will thus
terminate in six months precisely from the day Of
opening. On that day the awards of th' jure'
will be made by the Emperor in person. The I'm.
press is also announced as intending to be present
as well as the grand bodies of state in uniform, tie
same as at the opening. The affair will. no doubt
be poppous and snowy. Lately the exhibitions
a financial operation has paid better than dara,
the first three months, and it is hoped that d.
company may be able to realize a mail return ht
their labor.
Some time ago separate department was mik
in the Exhibition palace in which were colecsa
all the useful, cheap articles ofhou 'ehOld furnizn
wearing apparel, and utensils for the poor
jury, consisting Of seventeen members, ha. jM
been appointed to examine this class, aud male
awards This idea has been much applsudedb
the French economists; but to those who haze
seen similar collections in the United States ora
England the result is far from satisfactory. Tie
French are too fond of detail to be simple nd
practical, too fond of effect TO be cheap. Il b
much to be regretted that the United States coud
not enter fairly in competition with France 10 /,
field where she is 80 eminently 10 advance Of d
other nations
While on this subject it will be proper to mo
ton that, although nOthog new has transpired
regard to the awards of the juries since my hd
it is becoming more and more evident that the 4
owners of important inventions In the Urri
States have made grand mistake In Pecnnlrg
point ofview in neglectiDg representation "~
Paris exhibition. Every important ln'enD%
brought here will be manufactured IN France @'
large .cale by French companies before the hPs
of six months, and will afford highly renunersa'
income to the inventors. The avidlfy WIN WIG
these few inventions have been seized by frsn "A
