Like all other arts, boOk-makiug has its
eras, The publication of the first "Blue
and Gold" volume by TicknOr and Fields,
ten years ago, constituted an era in Ameri-
can bOOk-making, showing, as il did, how
much matter could be cOmpacted into a
small space TennysOn's Poems, which
before that time had struggled through sew
eral duOdecimO volumes, were compressed
into a single volume, scarcely too large for
the vest pocket, and were furnished at a
price hardly one fourth of their previous
cost. The volume was an immediate sue
cess, and was the pioneer Of large family
of "Bluo and Gold'' books, which has kept
firm hold upon the public favor to the pres
ent hour. But poets have continued TO
write, and the prices Of books have kept
pace with the increasing cost of all wares,
and now has arisen a need for further pro-
gress in the direction of Cheapness and
cOmpactness. This need has been met by
the Diamond" series of books now in
course of publication by Tcknor and
FieIds,-u series which marks fresh point
of departure in making. In this
series-as in the "Blue and Gold'-
TennysOn was chosen as the pioneer vol
ume. The "Diamoud TeunysOn," F" publish
ed in November last, has proved more
signal success than even its "Blue and
Cold predecessor, having met with sale
of nearly $4,000 copies in three months
Its success is so assured, that it is to be fol-
lowed bv the Diamond Dickens" the
diamond LongfelIow," and the Diamond
Whittier, r,"-the latter being announced
for autumn publication, the Longiellow in
April, and the Dickens being now in course
ofissue. The first volume Of the " Diamond
Dickens" is Of course the "Pickwick Pa
pers," which was published in January
and is meeting with the same favor which
was shown to Tennyson. Dickens's latest
novel, .'Our Mutual Friend, " will form the
second of the series, and will beready dur
ing the present month. These Diamond
volumes are of necessity printed in small
type, but from the extreme deGcacy in the
cutting of the type, and the exceeding care
taken to secure clearness in printing, they
are far more easily read than many books
in much larger letter. And their cheap
ness cUmmends them to all in these days
OF high prices. The volumes of Dickens
as they are issued month by month, vii
doubtless find their way to many house
holds where the iniInitable novelist has
hitherto been a stranger.

DrcadfuI Snake SforK.

One morning last August, Eliza
Drummond, a child eleven years old,
left her home in West Monroe, near
Oswego, New York, to pick bIackber-
ries. She did not return, and though
diligent search was made by her pa
rents and Deighbors, no trace of her
could be found. A few days ago, a par
ty of lads, while hunting in the vicin-
ity, discovered a den of black snakes,
in a hill-side-a sort of small cave,
which in summer was hidden by bush
es: in the entrance to the den they
found the skeleton Of the missing girl,
with a tin cup and some other articles,
sufficient for Identification. By throw
ing fire balls into the cavity nearly a
hundred snakes were driven out and
killed. 1t is supposed the girl retir-
ed to the shade of the den to rest, was
attacked by the reptiles and killed.

ANDREW JOHNSON AT An AUCTION
MARTA day or two since, at cele-
biated auction establishment in Phila-
delphia, there was sale of books, and
an attendance of one hundred and fif-
ty persons. The bidding was spirited,
and everything went along smoothly
until the auctioneer announced "The
Life of Andrew Johnson, superbly
b9und." Nota bid was obtained, and
tie knight of the hammer finally
started the book at fifty cents. He
was the only bidder, however, and
finally one of the attendants said, "Oh
put it down to Mr.. -; he will take
it at fifty cents" Mr.. -, who had
been a silent spectator to the scene,
now spoke out, "No you wont, though /;
I would not have it under any consid-
eratiOn." There was a breathless ST.
lence for a moment, and then one uni
versal shout of applause caused the
auctioneer to throw the book aside, and
go on with the sale, carefully abstain
ing from putting up another copy of
the life of "Moses."

CioNE TO WORK.-TheOdore G.. Pc
tiers, in his letter to General Grant,
speaks as follows: The dignity of labor
is now fully recognized throughout the
South. White men who never did a
days work in tacir lives are engaged
in working their own plantations, and
small prOprietors may be seen side by
side with the freedmen. One instance
of the result, among very many that
came to my knowledge, may not be
without interest. a gentleman who
owned small farm, and usually work
ed four full hands, found last year that
he had the means to pay but two. He
went into the field and at the end Of
the season he found that he had made
double the cotton he had ever made
before, besides a very large surplus OF
other grains.

What a Vote for Judge SharswOOd
Really Means.

"JUDGE SHARsWooD is a gentleman and an
honorable man." cry the Democracy, "there-
fore, as public-spirited citizens, it is the duty
of all to vote for him as Supreme Judge"
Such is the argument which has been
made again and again on the part of the
Democracy to secure the assent of Re-
publican voters to the attempt to place the
opposition candidate on the highest bench in
our great State. By reiteration it has almost
grown into responsibility, and our people have
learned to pass over the fragrant sophistry
which it contains, and even while they refuse
to assent, they do not see the puerile weak
ness of its logic. Are wisdom and honesty and
courtesy the only requisites necessary for such
a position Is not patriotism one Of those
qualities which in all times has been de-
mandedY Does not Jefferson place among the
cardinal essentials for Office love of our coun-
tryY And can we esteem one who has opposed
the war for the Union in all its phases, who has
opposed the force requisite to subdue Rebellion,
who is consistently Calhoun Democrat, to be
patriot in the true meaning of the word But
granting that all these qualities of ability,
integrity, and learning belong to Judge Shars-
wood, can any one deny they also belong to
Judge Williams Has word been breathed
against him, except that he was born in Con-
necticutl We therefore concede these claims
of the friends of Judge Sharswood; we say to
them all you claim for your candidate we
claim for ours, and in addition we have man
who is thoroughly true to the great interests
Of the nation, who is soundly settled on
all the questions, the living questions of
the day, and who does not quote Calhoun

The Facts about the ohureh OF En- gland.

The LoLdon Times says that the aggregate
revenue OF the bishops of the Church of England
is fl52,000 year; OF the chapters probably
f250,OOO and deans get from f1OOO to 42OOO a
year; canons from $500 10 $1,000. The cost of
keeping up the cathedrals varies from &400 q
year at Llandad to fl2,oO0 year at Durham.
There are IL, eSe parochial benehces. The whole
number OF parochial clergy is 1859, of whom
1881 are cnrates The alphabetical list of the
clergy contains %, 900.
The patronage of 6403 livings is private and
salable; of 6485 Is unstable. OF the 40SO pri-
vate patrons l046 are cleTgymen. The crown
has the gift of 967 livings, the bishops of 2088,
the chapters OF 9ll, the colleges of 851, paro-
chial rectors and Wears of 90S other bodies or
persons of go. There are 465 livings which
contain population above 5000. They are
served by 1854 cleTgymen, zone to every 700
pulations between 5000 and 1000 are ss2 in
number, served by 1914 clergymen, one to
every $50 houses, or 2750 persons.
The ivings with populations between 1000 and
1000 are ll43 in number, with 7l5 curates, so
that there are 1858 clergy in charge of the 5OO,
600 people in these parishes. This affords one
clergyman to about 1000 persons, or $50 houses.
The hvings with populations below 1000 are
10998 in number, with 2645 curates, and the
population in their charge comprises z SOC, 900
persons. In these livngs there is one clergy
man for every 600 persons. r
The minimum income for the English clergy
serving In parishes containing more than 1000
souls is f300. There is probability that this
minimum will be extended In few years to the
case OF parishes including population or more
than 1000. With regard to the remaining class
of parishes, the Crown has taken steps for rails
ing the incomes of the poorer livings in its gif;
the colleges have long been gradually improv-
ing the incomes of the college livings; the re-
cognition OF local claims prescibed by Parlia-
ment will take effect on a very large proportion
of the Episcopal and capituar livings. Those
which are private have no hope except from the
enlightened liberality of their patrons.
The Times concludes as follows:-
"Thirty years shave elapsed since the First
Minister of the Crown, in no unkindly spirit,
advised the Bishops to set their houses in
order. Bishop Bloomfield accepted the ad-
vice. and at the close of generation much has
been done in the right direction. As the Quaker
dress is almost indistingulshable, because the
public taste approxinates to II by dIscarding
swords and pink-heeled shoes and pcach-colored
coats, so 1t may be that the Wesleyans may be
rendered indistinguishabe by the energy Of the
clergy in the discharge of duties which the
Wesleyaus only undertook In consequence of
the careless neglect of the Church of England"

WE REGRET to understand that Colonel
James Page is Condescendiug to mix in local
politics, and has been opposing certain neCes-
sary changes in the places of voting in the
Fifth Ward. The Colonel, as a supporter and
wire-puller in favor of the "young person by
the name of Mullen" is something out of his
usual gentlemanly political course. We advise
Colonel Page, for whom we have a sincere
respect, not to defle his hands by having his
name connected with the maneuvres of Mr..
Brooke's young man.

SMoULAR.-The other day the rare instance
of burial thirty years after death occurred at
Berlin. The dead who fingered so long above
ground is Rachel Levin, the celebrated beauty,
author and wit, the wife of the late Herr Won
Varnhagen, well known as a Prussian diplo-
matist and writer on contemporary history
Having a mortal fear of being buried alive, the
lady ordered in her testament that the upper
part of the coffin should be made with glass
window, the coffin constantly watched ior
month after death, and deposited IN special
hall for period of thirty years. All OF wnicn
was duly carried out.

To the Trades, Unions.

HAS 1t ever been the policy of the trades
unions to kiss the hand that strikes them
Have they ever given support to one who is
their enemy-their open and avowed enemy
Do they follow strictly the Biblical doctrine of
turning the other cheek to the smiterl If
they do then they will support Judge Ludlow
In view of his decision, rendered in 1864, in
regard to a suit brought by an anti-trades-
union man in the Office of our Democratic
contemporary, who was struck by member
OF the Printers Union. On that occasion
Judge Ludlow sentenced the culprit to the full
term, and went out of his way to denounce
the whole system of trades unions in the
most violent and abusive terms. We will lay
his whole decision before our readers at an
early day.
