Literary Items.

Several Of the novels which have re-
Gently appeared are of much more than
average merit. Leyton Hall, by
Mark Lemon, is one of the best of these.
The story is of the period Of Charles l,
and no little dramatic power is evinced
in its telling. Peterson, Of Philadel.
phia, is the publisher.
Moss & Co., of Philadelphia, have
printed a second revised Of " Cross
Masonic Chart, containing the Degrees
of the Ancient York Rite, as worked in
the United States, arranged according
to the Ancient mode of Work and Lee
lures. Together with Historical
Sketch of the Origin and Progress Of
Free Masonry" and much other matter
of interest and importance to the breth-
rem of the advanced degrees of Masonry.
In mechanical execution the book is
greatly superior to most special publica-
tions of the kind.
j. & c. Merriam, of Springfield, Mas
sachusetts, have just published new
Dictionary of the English Language,
mainly abridged from the Quarto Die
tionary of Noah Webster" by William
A. Wheeler. 1t is in the main an alb
stract Of the latest edition of the una
bridged dictionary, with the remodeled
and simplifel ortbepic notations of
that work, aud all the improvements
therein introduced. 1t is intended to
meet the wants of those who desire a
complete presentation, in moderate
compass, OF the meaning, pronunciation
and orthography of the words which
make up the main body of the modern
English language.
Language and the Study of Lam
glage" is the title of series of twelve
lectures on linguistic science, originally
delivered at the Smithsonian Institute,
in Washington, in condensed form,
and subsequently, expanded to their
present dimensions, and read before the
Boston Lowell Institute, by William
Dwight Whitney, Professor of Sanscrt
and Instructor in Modern Languages in
Yale College.

Foreign Breyitles,

The King of Sweden underwent, lately
the dangerous operation of lithotomy
He is still in very precarious condi

Marie Sophie Schwarz is the name o.
the Swedish novelist who has of late
eclipsed the fame of Frederick Bremen
and Emile Flygare.Caren
Most ofthe prominent German theaters
have declined the propositions Of Adah
Menken's agent The naked drama
does not draw in Germany.
Bismarck and Beust had recently a
secret interview at Dresden. No ene
found out what it was abeut; the foot
men in the ante-room said the two
statesmen laughed a great deal during
their long tete tete.
The details about the accident by which
the Empress of the French and her son
got nearly drowned, and which brought
about the death of the pilot, show that
Eugenies self.willed obstinacy was the
cause Of the whole accident She re-
fused to listen to the earnest remon
strances of the experienced sailors,
whom she told that she was accustomed
to blind obedience. The MoniteuT had,
as usual, entirely misrepresented the
facts.
The Austrian Minister Of Finance has
devised a plan for bringing order into
the chaos Of Austrian finances, strongly
resembling the system created by Mr..
Chase. Austria will, henoeforth, like
wise have fve-twenties and ten forties.
The speeches which the Crown Prince
Of Prussia delivers on festive occasions
are written by his wife, who is quite a
blue-stocking.
Baron Won der Heydt, the Prussian
Minister Of Finance, fell the other day,
at restaurant in Berlin, into the hands
Of some arisiocratic looking swindlers,
who proposed a game Of ecdrfe, and
heeced him in the course Of an hour and
a hall, out Of nearly nine thousand dol
lars he paid eight hundred dollars
down and gave a due bill for the balance.
The swindlers we're arrested next day,
but as nothing could be proven against
them, they had TO be discharged, and
Baron Ven der Heydt vas obliged 70 re.
