A memory of the past is invoked by the death
in New York, on Monday last, of Andrew Nc
Maxim, formerly editor Of the old Philadelphia
Saturday Courier. This journal was largely the
exponent OF the sensational literature Of its day.
and may be regarded as the forerunner II not the
parent Of the story papers of the present time.
1t died so many years ago, however, that it has
probably been forgotten by most newspaper
readers, and its founder had passed out of sight
until the hurrying world was reminded Of his
existence by his death.

Mr.. Architect Mullett's report on the public
buildings, and particularly on those in New
York, Is highly commended by the Herald of
that city. That paper also speaks in high terms
of the manner in which the work on the new
post Office has been pushed forward under Mr..
M. management. Coming from q journal op-
posed TO the administration, and one always
disposed to slosh around In fault-fnding spirit,
this commentator may be regarded as a valua-
BILE and fairly earned compliment.

Perhaps the sharpest censures bestowed upon
the "bigamous wedding" in New York are By
the religious press. The Catholic press, hold
ing strict notions upon the sanctity Of the mar
rage tie, have been pointedly condennatory Of
the affair, but not much more 90 than the or
gans of the EpiscopaIians, the Methodists, the
Baptists, Presbyterians, and nregationaiists,
with the single exceptions Of Tilton's Isdepes-
d-nt-which, however, was long ago read out Of
the Congregational ranks for unsoundness- The
Churchman (Episcopalian, In q revievof the
conduct of Messrs. rockingham and Beecher,
says positively "It was . gratuitous piece OF
wrong-doing. 1t could be nothing but the
msSest form, and its sole meaning was to give
an additional pang to the murderer, and ia
throw contempt upon the law of the State OF
New York, and the Holy Ordinance Of God,
neither Of which would sanction the MARI iage.'

The GALAXY for January has poem by Walt
Whitman on George Peabody; the conclusion Of
"Susan Fielding" and several chapters Of
Charles Reade's novel, "Put yourself in his
Place" The plot of the story seemed 80 near .

prise to the readers to learn that it Is to run
through the greater part Of the coming year.
Richard Grant White, who discourses 50 excel
lently upon what journalism ought to be, and
may be, perhaps, in the millenial period, comes
down heavily upon that Pest of the Period, the
"prying, gossiping, tattling, fawnine, scandal
monging trade Of personal journalism" Mr..
White altogether makes out pretty strong case
against the personal journalists, who, by the
way, are, for the most part, fellow-townsmen of
Mr.. Whites.

APPLETON, Wis, Dec. Is, 1869.
DEAR CHRosIcLE have been won
dcring for some time whether there could
be anything written from this part of the
country that would interest the readers of
the CHRONICLE but as great many of
them may never have been up here, and
as Appleton is considerable of place, a
communication may not be entirely unin-
teresting. Appleton is situated on the
Fox river, near the Grand Chute" or
Great Falls, and consequently possesses
superior water privileges, which are i'm
proved to as great an extent as possible.
The river runs along the south sias of the
town, and on its banks. on either side, are
mills and factories Of all kinds. Grist,
saw, and planning mills in operation, and
Judging from the immense piles Of lumber,
Iath, shingles, &C., &c., there is an i'm
mcnse amount of business Gone. Il is a
two or three days job to any onea who
should attempt to visit them all, and take
much of a look at any one of them. The
falls near the town, render the passage of
boats impossible, so canal has been dug,
about a quarter of mile in length, which
obviates this difficulty, and they can pass
in safety. The c, & N w. 4. r. also
runs through here, which adds somewhat to
the business, ar6 tends to build up the
reputation Of the place.
Lawrence University is situated here, and
brings great many persons to the tosn.
The college, under the management of the
President, DR.. Steele, has grown into a
HouriShing institution. and students are
hocking to it from all parts of the country.
It has an able and efficient corps of teach.
crs, who do all in their power to advance
the interests Of their pupils. Pres. Steele
is noble, Christian gentleman, loved by
all the students, snd well fitted for the po-
silion which he occupies.
There are two papers Published here,
the Crescent and the Post had the
pleasure Of making the acquaintance Of
Mr.. Reid, the proprietor of the Post, who
