found beating healthily and vigorously. II is
estimated that not less than fifty thousand peo-
pie were in the immediate neighborhood Of
Seventh and Chestnut streets, on this Interest,"
ing occasion; cold, raw evening and soak
ing rain having no effect to stay the stems of
the multitude. Some of the daily journals have
very inadyisedly attempted to give to the pro-
cccdings political INTERPRETATION. but. what
ever may be the result of this imposing demon
stration in such a connection. il ia doubtful
whether. at the moment. any one man in that
gathering seriously entertained thought of
party capital or expediency. In the DAYS of
| political degeneracy il is a thought for the no.
| litical economist whether such sacred senti-
ments as were here adoptcd are not too pure
for political intermeddling. The occasion re-
calls the time when, eighty-three wears npo.

The very scum of literature ia the abomina-
BILE stuff which is invariably brewed ON the oc-
casion of any popular excitement, to add fuel
to the troubled waters, instead of the oil of
healing which morality and religion would an
ply. The miserable "Sickles" literature il nm
illustration, and now we are having the dose
repeated in innumerable ILivesn of John
Brown, and kindred Uncle Tom trash. The
most notable of all these promises to be a Life
by Mrs. Lydia Maria Child One crazy old ia
matte besmearng anotherl Fortunately, John
Brown stands about as good n chance for
place on the MARTYRS calendar as this old wo
man herself II only wants Mrs Stoves pen
now to make the farce complete.
II Is a relief to turn from snch literary nhnr-
tions to q really good book, like that fine col
lege story, The Adventures of ar. Verdant Grsen.
published from the English STEREOTYPE mates
by Messrs. Rudd & Carleton, New York. This
inmitable sketch book of lite and manners
within the walls of a University has acnuirod
IL wonderful reputation in England. and nrom-
