Literature at Home and Abroad -
Authors, Artists, Publishers, and PHb.
ltc-What ali are Doing.

The news of Literature at home and abroad,
is not encouraging. Book-writing is going on
as ceaselessly as ever, it Is true twhen did the
bees ever think honey enough had been made?),
but book buying has been stacking off for some
time back, and book making Is likely to come
TO a comparative stand still, after the works
now under way, and in an advanced state, shall
have been put forth.
Fewer lighter books, for summer and seaside
reading, have been published this year than for
many before. The novels have not been as
plentiful as usual. Summer novels are generally
of such trashy nature, however, that, perhaps,
we ought not to regret this falling of. Why won't
some OF our publishers make a small fortune by
collecting in handy volumes the thousand or two
short, smart stories which give so many readers
to the weekly papers and monthly magazines?
Everybody don't care to keep the mind strained
over long novel during the leisure moments
they find in the country and at the watering
places Many love to pick up book to while
away half an hours idle time, and then put it
away, to be dipped into again as into bon-bon
box-this they cannot do with the long novel
but this they might do with the volume of fifty
or sixty short stories.
Nothing that has yet been put forth in this
line, however, has been rightly done. The
Harpers or the Appletons could get up volume
to meet the demand, if they would-neatly
bound, with stories selected to suit popular, not
aesthetic tastes.
The question now exciting much attention in
the literary world, here and abroad, is that of

of new Ministry in England, says:--

A Pennsylvania View.
From tie Tri6une.

From the Tribune. ..
The monster meeting at Reading Pennsylva-
mia, was so called, we suppose, from the mon
strous doctrines it advocated, and the speech of
tie Hon. Richard Vaux, its President As few
OF our readers may know this statesman, we will
write his biography, apologizing for its length
Many years ago, Mr.. Vaux was Mayor of Phila-
delphia; many years ago he was elected Direc-
tor OF Girard College, but unfortunately had not
the benefit of a previous education at that insti-
tuition; many years ago he invented the Vaux
shirt collar, which is still largely worn in Phila-
delphla-by himself the other day he went to
Reading, and was appointed spokesman for the
Democratic party, These are the principal events
of his public career, which, it Will be SEEN has
been steadlly downward. First, Mayor, then
Director; then Shirt Collar Inventor; then Presi-
dent OF the Reading meeting: this Is fearful
decline, and we fear it is not ended, as 1t s said
that Dir. Vaux wants to become Secretary OF
office next to the lowest in the country
We are glad he was allowed to make a speech
Tor he, OF all men, is best fitted to speak for the
Den ocracy. Others have the tact to hide It's
purposes, bat Mr.. VauX scorns concealment
With his usual energy he seized the occasion to
show b knowledge the longest words in the
dictionary, and to review the history of the
United States. We find, therefore, that the
Democrats OF Pennsylvania believe that word
of six sy llables is better than word OF one, and
that the war was begun In New England. It is
also a cardinal article OF the Democratic faith
that the present Congress represents nobOdL
aud that not one OF its acts is constitutional.
VIII Mr.. VauX question the constitutionality OF
its adjournment? Another platform of the party
athIms-'lt is wrong to teach little niggers to
read" From these premises the conclusion is
reached that "Andrew Johnson is an honest
man, who has remembered the teachings OF his
youth, and, though captured for a while By the
Black Republicans, has scratched back to the
Democracy" Thus we find out what PRINCIPLES
and purposes are attributed to the President by
the Democrats who support MIN.
Johnsonism, in their opinion, is hatred of New
England, lear OF the South, and profound con-
victlon that the country will be ruined If little
niggers receive better education than Presi-
dents Of Democratic meetings.

How Train Would Do II.


Mr.. George Francis Train, in addition TO his
regular labors, has taken the job OF running the
Democratic party of Nebraska on the johnson
tack. He has just organized it at Omaha as
"The johnson Club of Nebraska" on this plat
form:-
FIRST. That the Union is indispensable and insou-
bic.
Second, The equality of States and the right of
representation SO eHnly guaranteed rhe right OF
eaeh House OF Congress to judge OF the election and
qualncatOn OF It's members, aud that no member
should be admitted to ether House of whose 10y atty

Train, we presume, understands how TO

Slavery should never, in any form, be revived.n

How you used to sit and watch the

But all this was long ago, when you
