Rayard Taylor i'm the New York
MeFCUTY

The exclusive engagement by the proprie-
tors of the Ne,0 York Mercury, of the talented
American tourist and aut or, Bayard Taylor,
Esq, is among the most brilliant of the many
journalistic enterprises Of this journalistic age.
The announcement Of this arrangement has
been greeted with tt.rore of mingled surprise
and admiration, on the part OF the public, and
not only has the literary world been aroused
to decided pitch of excitement, but all other
circles have likewise been brought to the Qai
riUs of expectation and interest.
The variety and piquancy of Mr.. Taylor'S ad-
ventures-the romantic and interesting scenes
the thrilling incidcnts-among which his

should not touch them, for in doing Sc
often times great injustice is done to par
ties that are not cognizant Of the applica
ton and the very next Legislature is call
ed upon to undo the act Of its inmedi-
ate predecessor.
We are glad to see that the country
press are beginning to appreciate the
fact that there is too much special, and
not enough general legislation done at
Harrisburg. Every general law Of an i'm
portant character which was attempted to
be passed at the late session, failed be-
cause especial laws" required and obtain
ed the attention Of the Legislature The
cure for this is that the people should re-
pudiate all those members who we're guilty
of sacrificing general to special legisla-
tion. In this connection we take pleas
ure in SAYING that Mr.. Mann deserves
the highest praise for his manly and in
telligent votes upon all qacstions pertain
ing to the passage of general laws, and
for his repeated votes against useless spec
lal laws

prise, has distanced all competition lived

w rks of ancient and modern authors can
be found on Mr. Evans Catalogu for
