LITERARY.

One year ago, or a little more, We were
deluged from all quarters with floods of new
publications, books of travels, original Ameri-
can novels, essays, textbooks, &C.; many of
them not wanting in merit, but with nine
tenths, mediocrity was more than could be
rightfully claimed for them. If their COM
ing may not be compared with that of the
frogs and the locusts of Egypt their disap-
pearance has at least been well nigh as total
and as sudden.
For the present they have been superseded
by yet more ephemeral and transitory substi-
tutes. The great firm of Harper Il Brothers
Of New York, who formerly issued so many
new works per diem, we now hear of almost
exclusively as the publishers of Harper 5
Monthly and IIarpers Weekly, counting their
readers by hundreds of thousand. The first
orator of the day has become, under the in
SEPARATION of Mount Vernon, a weekly contri-
butor to the New York Ledger. The Atlantic
Monthly is the publication por excellence of
our modern Athens. Every where periodical
literature is the absorbing attraction of the
day. Whatdoes all this mean? Whittier are
we all drifting? Can such state Of things
be a permanence? Certainly not. We are
in the transition state of cur literature, but
where, when, or in what it will all end, IL
would now be hardly less than presumption
to attempt to predict. Unquestionably, how
ever, the extreme of the present will but re-
suit in permanent and radical change for
the better Works of enduring merit and
solid stability must sooner or later supply all
this trash.-Letter from New York.

SCIENTIFIC FISHERMEN.
TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 1, 1859.

SCIENTIFIC f1SHERMEN.
Professor Owen. at the annual sioree # the
Leeds Mechanics Institution, related the fol-
lowing anecdote
'Some of the working scientific men Of Lon
don, with few others, have formed "a sort of
club, and after our winters work oflecturingis
over we occasionally sally forth to have a day 5
fishing. We have for that purpose taken
small river in the neighborhood of the me
tropolis, and near its banks there stands lit
tie public house, where We dine soberly and
sparingly on such food as old Isaac Walton
loved We have rule that he who catches
the biggest fish of the day shall be our presl-
dent for the evening. In the course one day
member, not q scientific man, but high pa
litical man, caught trout that weighed three
and half pounds; but earlier in the day he had
pulled out barbel Of halfa pound weight
So while we were on the way to our inn, what
did this political gentleman do but with the
butt end of his rod ram the barbcl down the
trout's throat, in which state he handed his
fish to be weighed. Thus he scored four pounds
which being the greatest weight he took the
chair. As We were going away for home u
man of science-it was the President of the
Royal Socicty-said to the man ofpolitics, IF
you don't want that fine fish of yours should
like to have it, for l have some friends to dine
with me tomorrow
''My lord took it home. and | heard no
more until we met on the next week Then,
while we were preparing our tackle, the Pres
ident Of the Royal Society said 10 our high
political friend There were some very extra
ordinary circumstances. do YOU know. about
that fish YOU gave me! | had no idea that the
trout was 60 voracious; hut that one had
swallowed a barbel" Il am astonished to
hear your lordship say So" rejoined all emf
nent naturalist; trout may be yoraclous
enough to swallow minnows-but barbel,
my lord. There must be some mistake >
''Not at ALL" replied his lordship for the fact
got to my family that the cook, i'll cutting
open the trout, had found barbel inside and
as my family knew Twas fond of natural his
tory was called into the kitchen. There
saw it; the trout had swallowed a barbel full
halfa pound weight" "0ut ofthe question,
my lord, said the naturalist; Its altogether
quite unscientifc and unphilosophical. Il
don't know what may be philosophical in the
matter; only know am telling you matter
of fact said his lordship; and the dispute
having lasted awhile explanations were given,
and the practical joke was heartily enjoyed
