LITERATURE.
Criticisms Of New Books.

Excepting ''rhe Days OF Bruce" which was her
masterpiece and a work not unworthy to stand
beside the Wayerley Novels, the beet lctons writ
ten by Grace Aguilar are the stories contained in
"Home Scenes and Heart Studies" volume Of
which has been published by Messrs. ID. Appleton Il

authoress. There ls great deal OF eloquence and
energy In those which describe the sutIerlDgs and
prosecutions OF the Jews to which people Grace
ACuilar belonged, which renders them IN ensely In
teresing. The other stories are also admirable.
The rage print uniform editions OF the works OF
all prominent authors continues unabated. George

have now before us "Antonia,n q charming fiction,

could name, but still most agreeable book, the
perusal Of which Will afford much pleasure TO the
reader.
Who the author of "Malbrookr Is we have not the
remotest idea. In fact, we plead guilty to profound
ignorance OF "Mabrook" itself. However, the au-
thor Of this no doubt famous work has written
fiction with the suggestive title OF "Honor Bright"
The hero is a remarkable character. His "honor" is
so bright that lts spendor bewlders one. When con-
versng with the woman he loves he wears an "ex-
preston oil scorn' is "hiughtyn and proud and
'immoble, @ interrupts ssu, bitterly with "a cold,
that may be. In his manner he IS ''aconc"
and "coo and cynical" and has a habit VI

"oitter tone" "low, cutting tone;'' a .bitter

But are we "bound down" to do thing because 1t
is possible to do it2 We sincerely hope not; for we
admit that 1t is possible for worse novel than this
TO be written, and We shudder al the Idea OF such
possibility becoming reality. Seriously however,
why these books are written, and why, after they
are written anybody publishes them, Is solemn
mystery we would like TO unravel. II these authors
only knew how bored critics are. ana now eXaspe-

Parton, in the Aaiaiic Monthly for February,
thinks many years will elapse before it can be
decidedly exactly where the spot for the future
capitol may be, md that 90 I'm the meantime no
reason appears Why Congress should not gladly
permit the people residing in the District of
Columbia 10 take care of their own municipal
affairs" His medy for the unpleasant con-
dtion of affairs here Is for " Congress to restore
to Maryland her sixty square miles," (six,
not sixty. Mr.. Parton,) "and pay taxes on
the national +. property. By this mex
Pensiye expedient Congress would get rid
of the troublesome task OF misgoverning q small
principality, and the city government would be
put upon its good behavior and supplied with
adequate means and MOTIVE" Why, asks Mr..
Parton with considerable point, why use an ap-
paratus % costly, complicated and cumbersome
as the Congress of the United States to get
little paving done on Pennsylvania avenue {?
Do California and Oregon send members across
the continent to attend to the lamp-posts of
Washington? Are honorable gentlemen to
travel all the way from the extremity of Flor
ida, or the farthest confines of Texas, to order
some new boards to be nailed down on the Long
Bride?
Very well. The city of Washington Will very
gladly accept this arrangement. Give us the
power to legis,ate in these matters, let the Gov
eTlEent simply pay taxes on ITS own property,
and the people will cheerfully undertake the
work Of putting Washington city ON the path OF
Progress.

How 1T STRIKES STRANGERs.-The New
York Mail, paper that has heretofore rather
encouraged the Capital-moying project now says
that whether Intentionally or not, the people of
Washington have done the best thing in their
power to coHciliats public opinion and offset the
talk about. a removal of the Capitol-by the
zeal, enterprise, liberality and Independence
shown In their movement for a Worlds Fair, to
be held I'm their not too popular city.
The kal declines to discuss the matter of the
feasibility of the Fair, and says that 'the more
important thing, at present, to consider, is that
the Washingtonians have, of their own accord,
abandoned their traditional characters as beg
Gars for public bounties, and have gone quietly
To work to raise the very large sum needed to
pay for such an expensive entertainments as that
on which they seem TO have set their hearts,"
The faii says in conclusion
s.Weconfess that this independent action and
attitude Of the WashingtOnians inspires us with
a respect for them and their city which we never
before entertained, and disposes us to listen in
Tar less favorable mood TO the loud demands of
St Louis for transfer of the Capitol buildings

Philadelphia papers argue that if the present
mild weather continues Pennsylvania coal will

war, and this notwithstanding the fact that new
mines are constantly opened and worked to a
degree sufficient to supply the increased demand.
There Is no just reason why it should be more
than fourth dearer now than formerly, and it
would not be il combination did not exist
among dealers to buy cheap and sell dear.
That the Philadelphia papers are right in
surPcsing that coal is likely to be a drug, is
shown by the fact that the coal operators of

our city dealers to divide it up among them.

property to his father. The old gentleman was
without heirs, and not having become recon-

one-half Of his property to the government Of
England and the remaining half, s19, OO0, 900, to
Miss Gray, the Fort Edward milliner. The sum
was so large that many people were disposed to
doubt its truth when it first appeared in print;
but Miss Gray has already received the first in
