G. P. r. JAMES, THE ENGLISH NOVELIST
Recent intelligence from Europe announces
the death Of George P. X. James. which took
place q short time ago in England. Mr.. James
earned q claim to prominent place in the
obituary records Of the literary men of the time
by the indefatigabIe employment ofa pen
which has had no rival in its productiyeness
since the death Of Scott. Nor was it in res
.pect OF facility and abundance Of production,
that Mr.. James challenged a comparison with
the author Of Waverly be followed zealously
and industriously in Scott's tracks as his.
torical novelist, and with degree of success
whose only abatement consists in the inexor-
able fact that imitation can never be as fresh,
vigorous, and captivating as their originals
Mr.. James must have been upward of sixty
years Of ago when be died, as his literary ca
reer alone embraced period Of about forty
years. He made his debut as an author in
1922, with the publication of the History of
the Life of Edward the Black Prince. This
work seemed 10 foreshadow the long train of
historical novels which were to follow and
which, in view ofa characteristic and inevitable
feature in each, might be, perhaps, aptly,
though paradoxically, described as process
sion Of solitary horsemen.-Delta.

WRrtING.-Consider the materials Of writing.
The first was stone Shells. plates of various
materials, ivory, bark, and leaves of trees
have been some Of the early substitutes for pa
per. Hesiod's works were written on leaden
tables. Montlaucon speaks Of book with
eight leaden leaves. The laws of the Cretans
were on bronze tables. The Romans put their
public records upon brass; Copper plates have
been dug up near Bengal dated century be-
fore the birth of Christ. Sometimes songs have
been found on strips of leather. The Arabs
took the shoulder-bones of sheep, and carved
remarkable events upon them, and then hung
them up in their cabinets. In library Of E,,-
rope. there Is letter on piece Of bark about
two yards long. In others are copies OF the BIZ
imals and serpents were also used. Wax was
also used in different forms, sometimes Of itself
and sometimes on wooden tables. The Egyp.
tan papyrns superseded all former materials.
This grew In large quantities on the banks o.
the Nile. After the eighth century. the papy;
rus was superseded by parchment. Paper from
cotton was made az early rs the ninth century,
from linen in the thirteenth. The first paper
mill Ia England was erected by German in
1888. Thomas Watkins brought the art of pa.
per-making to perfection in IT'S. The pens
used in the translation Of the Bible were iron
etyles. The Romans used ivory for writing.
It was not before the seventh century that
quilts were used. We possess no ink in beauty
and color equal to that used by the ancients
The manuscripts written from the fifth to the
twelfth century are in better state of preser.

seventeenth century.

@- Among other equally creditable tricks
employed in lhe Baltimore Rump to induce
that body to admit the Donaldsonvilie dele.
gates, was the reduction of the number ofour
parishes from forty-nine to thirty nine. This
statement was essential to bolster up the pre-
tension that theID onaldsonville Rump, in which
it Is asserted that twenty-one parishes were
represented, embraced majority Of the par
ishes. Twenty-One are not majority of Tor
ty-nine. In extenuation of this gross error or
intentional misstatement, we should add that
in the printed argument, eigned by N. G.
Coleman, P. Soule. Robert G. Wickliffe, Isaac
E. Morse and the other claimants of seats at
Baltimore. the same Misrepresentation occurs.
These gentlemen owed it to themselves, to
the State, to truth and propriety, to have
this error corrected I heir silence-their ap-
parent acquiescence in its correctness, pro-
ceeded from Ignorance or design. If it isig-
norance, it is marvellous and somewhat NOR
Nfying display on the part Of an Ex-Governor,
ex-Secretary Estate ex-senator and ex-mem.
Der Of Ccngroes. If it was design, the res
possibility vi be still more serious one.--
1t is matter Of very little concern to the PEG.
pie of this State who were admitted as dele.
gates to as6dy which 10 its whole proceedings
has exhibited 60 little dignity, impartialiiy
or manliness a. the Baltimore Rump but the
assertion and PRONUNCIATION of go gross an
error, in regard to the geographical division
Of the State, and the attempt to recognize less
than one-half the Parishes az majority thereof
is too fragrant to be passed by without emphatic
condemnation. If this error controlled the de
cision of the Convention palpable fraud was
committed, and its authors ought to be known
and held up to public odium.-Delta.
