IHE RAILROAD STRIKE IN NEW YORK.
The drivers on the Belt Railroad in New York
still continue, but new drivers have been en-
gagged and the cars are running again under the
protection OF the police, two officers being sta
toned on each car. In regard to the cause OF
the strike, statements are conflicting The
the drivers the fifteen hours labor they demand
ed; he gave the drivers their own table,
and the conductors another, thus hoping TO
labor. Sometimes they would Law Off two hours
or longer out Of the fifteen. The drivers..
however, say that the strike did not result from
this cause or the discharge of men but 0rigina-

cents extra for extra trips on Sundays Thew

birth to Lear and Hamlet; or blind and suf-
iering old man solacing himself by his visions
of heaven in ''Paradise Lost" Now we have
Mr.. James Parton rolling in silver-palace cars
over the continent, and serving up our cities,
religions, and ideas in his own little dishes,
sure of goodly sum of shekels per dish.
Literature is almost given over TO a horde of
James Partons, of more or less ability, hack
writer's who are ready to serve up any sub
ject, science, art, or fiction, at the shortest
notice, for proper consideration.
One cause of this is the number of literary
magazines in England and this country. Now
magazines are no doubt useful auxiliaries to
knowledge. A hurrying, energetic people,
too busy in building railroads across the
globe for thorough study Of any subject, find
it pleasant to find all subject set before them
thus in miniature. They take their supply of
thought as they do their meals, on hasty
sandwiches at railway stations But the
method pursued by the publishers of the first
English magazines was different from that of
ours. They applied to scientific men and
scholars for articles containing resume, in a
popular form, of their special branch of
knowledge. A man thus might perhaps con-
tribute but once to a magazine, but that one
article contained the essence, probably, of a
lifes research. Now each magazine and lead
ing newspaper has its corps of shallowly edu-
Gated men, who stand waiting, at call, to give
description of the last transit of Venus, or
prize-fght, as indifferently as a dairyman
would skim pans of milk standing side by
side.
By all means let us go back to the old sys-
tenn of low prices or no prices. If the true
poet starves, he will give us his sweetest song
in dying, and the Htterateurs will starve and
give us no song at ALL and in either case the
world will be largely the gamer.

HACK LITERATURE.

The last Atlantic contains an essay on the
lack of originality among American writer's,
which urges, as a corrective of their present
subserviency to the English standard, a
broader culture and the study Of the French
German, and italian schools. But we fancy
the need lies deeper than this. 1t is neither
culture nor learning which moulds the ideas
of O nation, but the master touch of two or
three great original minds. The literature of
q people has little to do with the horde of
petty ktterGteuTS.
81 have but one child at birth, said the
Queen of the Beasts, 'but that is lion."
There is constant complacency among lite
rary men nowadays in the greater encourage
ment given year by year to authors, the in
creased rates of pay, and the consequent
liberty which a man obliged to support a
family feels to devote himself to authorship
as profession. Dryden's famous five pounds
of wages is contrasted with the present royal
rates of payment of our publishers, with un-
oeasing congratulations and pleasure that
our lines have been cast in the better days of
the present.
But, after all, would it not be the better and
wiser plan to go back to the old scale of prices;
to do away if possible with copyright alto
getherp Authors would starve, probably,
but would not the public be benefited
When man writes or paints in hunger OIL
pain, simply because of the inexorable neces-
sity there is in him to utter his thought, de-
pend upon it that poem or picture will be
something which the world will deem worth
the keeping. ''rhat song," says Carlyle
''only should be sung which will not be silent
No doubt it is very comfortable thing for
the mob of gentlemen and ladies who write
with ease nothings about everything to be
sure of their twelve or twenty dollars page
but what becomes of the ''holy cause of lite
nature" meanwhile? Hawthorne wrote hi
first book in a fireless house, with wife ant
children half starving around him. Mis-
Evans books, says her publisher, are sure o

The subject of University tests in England
has again been called into prominence by the
circumstance that the honors Of Senior
Wrangler of the recent commencement at
Cambridge fell to the lot of an Israellte,
while the two who achieved the highest
honors in the department of moral science
were unhappily 'nonconformists. All three
are therefore debarred from the competition
for these luxurious positions termed fellow
ships. 1t is quite time that Mr.. Gladstone
had turned his attention to this particular
iniquity of the old system which he is so vigo-
rously and successfully assailing

THE FINANCES OF FRANCB.--The report OF M.
Magne, French Minister OF Finance, was issued on
the 18th OF December The floating debt, he states,
has been reduced to SGS 900 OOO which, large as 1t
is is 900 less than the slst OF july 1888
There is surplus OF 50, 200 for 1861 expected
surplus OF S11,OOO,0OO for 1862 and surplus OF
S2O, 900 IL predicted for 1870 All this would be
very satisfactory, for there really has been In

THE CONTEST for the State Treasurership is
said to be complicated by struggle between
''the friends of prominent banking interest
and several of the largest mercantile and
oil interests in the western part of the State"
This bitter fight for the privilege of fleeing
the taxpayers will enable the members who
have it in their power to decide for whose
benefit they are to betray their constituents
to charge even higher price than usual for
their sweet voices, and to open the session
with splendid stroke of business. The only
thing that astonishes us is that they do not
divide the money in the Treasury among
themselves and their favorites, instead of
merely parcelling out the interest and profits
arising from the use of the State funds. The
principle is identical in either case, and it is
scarcely worth while for them to respect the
distinction between grand and petty larceny
They were sent to Harrisburg as plunderers
to plunder, and they may as well satisfy their
constituents that they are masters of their
profession.

NFDORA LEIGH

On our sixth page we publish a synopttcal
review of q book just published in England
under the editorship of DIR. Charles Maokay,
which is an appropriate supplement to the
disgraceful narrative with which Mrs. Stowe
treated the world in the columns of the At
lonttc Monthly. This is the autobiography of
Medora Leigh, the unhappy creature whom
Mrs. Stowe designates "the child of sin,
with letters and editorial comments that serve
TO make her story complete. There is every
reason TO believe that the facts
given in this new development of the Byron
scandal are substantially correct, and the
exhibition of depravity that is thus made is
anything but edifying. There does not
appear to be any evidence whatever that
Medora Leigh was the daughter of Lord
Byron, beyond the mere word of Lady Byron,
who, by the most charitable construction that
can be placed on her conduct, seems to have
been under q hallucination on this point.
Medora, for her part was apparently scarcely
more than half-witted; and the story of her
sufferings and the treatment that she received
at the hands of her relatives is one of the
most disgraceful revelations that has ever
been made with regard to any family.
Lady Byron's own conduct to-
wards her scarcely seems entitled to
the laudation that Mrs. Stowe bestows upon
il, for her sole object appears to have been to
get the miserable creature out of her sight,
and to hide her in some obscure place whore
she would cease to be an annoyance. With
the exception of brief confinement in
private lunatic asylum, Medora was left to
take care of herself, exposed to ali the temp
tations that were most potent over her weak
mind and passionate temperament. And
some of her relatives, SO far from placing any
restraints upon her, seemed rather to seek
her ruin by placing temptations in her path
The conclusion that all right-thinking men
must come to with regard to this business is,
that whether Mrs. Stoves revelations b rue
or not, she had no right to make them aud
that the persons who have given this disgust
ing story of Medora Leigh are no less culpa-
BILE than the original author of the scandal
No good end could be served by these publ
cations, and, true or not true, the world had
no right to know the things that they reveal.

FROM THE PACIFIC.
South American Advices.

New YORK; April 9.-The steamship Henry
Chauncey, from Aspnwall the 1st, has arrived,
and brings the following news
A riot occurred at Panama on the 2Sth ult.,
between soldiers and natives, during which one
person was killed and three or four badly hurt.
Considerable excitement was created but quiet
was soon restored.
The Panama Railroad Company have with
drawn their sailing vessels between New York
and Aspinwall.
The Darien surveying expedition is actively
at work. They had explored several miles
inland, but had not succeeded in finding any
indication whatever of low elevation through
the Cordilleras for the canal. The news is de-
cidedly discouraging. More laborers are re-
quired Scarlet fever had prevailed at Guatemala.
The country is tranquil. All those concerned in
the last revolution had given themselves up or
escaped to Mexico. Two hundred stand of
arms and small cannon were captured from the
rebels.
