The Atlantic Monthly for 1879

The Atlantic Monthly for 1872.
The Atlantic Monthly offers attrac-
tions for the coming year, ,unexcelled,
if before equaled, in its history.
The resumption of the "Autocrat"
series in "The Poet at the Breakfast
Table," by DR.. Holmes, is literary
event of the first interest; and these
papers will be more charming than
anything he has yet done in his most
characteristic vein. The discovery
of a complete romance by Hawthorne
is a matter of certainly not less i'm
portance, and the story is all the
more fascinating because, not having
received his final touches, it shows
some ofthe processes of his subtle in
vention, and, as it were, takes the
reader into his confidence.
Mr.. Parton's "Life of Jefferson"
will appear in detachable chapters,
each perfect in itself. 1t is one of
his best pieces of work. A glance
at the first chapter in the January
number will satisfy the reader that
the author has never more faithfully
and delightfully."- studied any subject.
Mr.. DeMiIle appears in the Allan
tic for the first time, but his name is
familiar as the author of those JANUS
ing extravaganzas ,"The Dodge Club"
and "The American Baron" "The
Comedy Of TerrOrs" is in the same
mood, and abounds in Iudicrous in
cidents and situations.
"The Diversions ofthe Echo Club"
will contain not only critical notices
of all the prominent English and
American Poets Of our day, but ex-
quisite travesties of their manner
not parodies of single pieces, but ad-
mirable burlesques of their general
style of thought and expression.
The Editorial Department will be
enlarged so as to occupy some 20
pages of each number, and will no.
tice not only as heretofore, the prom
inent phases of literature, but those
Of politics, art, music and science.
Under each of these heads the Allan
tic will, while holding and prOnOun
cling decided opinions, aim at per
fectly just and candid treatment of
all topics. The politics discussed
will be those of the whole country;
the scientific notes a resume of the
scientific facts and speculations of
each month; in music, high critical
ground will be taken, but the Editors
will make their comments available
to all who love music, as we'll as to
cOnnoisseurs and those with whom
it is profession; of art, they will en-
deavor always to speak with generOs-
ity and discrimination.
For the other features of the mag
azine, the Editors have to say that
they never were able to promise |
more than for the coming year.

standing against the mantlepiece,
and there were four or five ladies
sitting in the room. My heart stood
still. At last I was in her divine
presence. I rushed toward her, I
attempted to throw my arms around
her; she took me by the wrists, this
way. [Charles grabbed the reporter
by the wrist and explained the mo-
Cltls operandi.7
Reporter-She must be strong.
Charles Theodore-Yes; she is
very strong; but my love for her is
stronger.

Charles Theodore-I suppose the
proprietor of the hotel sent for him. /

with somewhat of an Irish accent.

people, and you know they always

An Indiana paper gives this good
advice to a certain class "too poor to
take the papers,"
"SmOke one five cent cigar less
each week in the year, and you'll
have plenty of money to pay for
your home paper one year and have
go cents left.
"Skip three nips of whisky day,
at ten cents each, for just one week,
and you can pay for your home pa
per one year, and have enough left
for one nip, or two lOaves of bread.

tobacco each day for a year, and you
can pay for the paper one year.
"Stay away from the circus with
your family, and read paid ~
home paper every week in the year.

show how little most men know
about it when they say they can't af-
ford a paper. Nine times out of ten

money for whisky and tobacco to
run a fine horse and carriage, and to
cIothe themselves in purple and fine

And fires burn clear,

And you bite far into the heart of the house,

GRUMBLEBs AT NEWSPAPERS
Horace Greeley hits the nail on the
head
"It is strange how closely men
read the papers. We never say
anything that anybody don't like,
but we soon hear Of it. If, however,
once in a while we happen to say a
good thing, we never hear of that
nobody seems to notice that. We
may pay some man a hundred COM
pIiments and give him a dozen pufs,
and he takes it as a tribute to his
and never thinks Of it
never thinks it does him any good.
But, if we happen to say anything
this very man don't like, or some
thing that he imagines is a reflection
on him or his character, see how
quick he flares upand gets mad about
it. All our evils are duly charged to
US, but we never, apparently, get any
credit for what good we do"

President Grant.

One of the best evidences of a
mans greatness is the swapping at
him by every cross-Ioad politician
and the hunting up of little things
against him. The charges brought
against the President consist main
ly Of
He don't stay in Washington all
the time;
He loves horses
He don't make long speeches
He smokes cigars;
He travels through the country
in too little style
He appointed relatives to office;
He don't comprehend Horace Gree
ley's agricultural theories;
&C., &C., &C., &c.
Whole columns have been written
about just such silly stuff as the
above, and set forth as elaborate
arguments why he should not be
nominated for the Presidency again.
Against the administration of
President Grant, in all its bearings,
not a charge has been or can be made
that is derogatory to 1t in the least
Even his most bitter opponents must
admit that affairs pertaining to the
Government have been administered
in the most satisfactory and states
manlike manner.

A good story is told Of President
Grants dryly sarcastic remark when
he was shown a copy of a western
paper, which purported to give a list
of the number of trips he had made
and miles he had travelled since the
close of the war. Looking it over
casually, he observed that it was
pretty nearly correct, and then re-
marked 81 wonder if that chap
kept a full list of my trips during

Where she had tumbled in the brook
And he had dragged along the shore,
Above the place mile or moro.

not in the least crest fallen after his
late unsuccessful adventure.
"What is your name ?" inquired
the reporter.
"Charles Theodore Busch"
Reporter-How came you to get
into this scrape?
Busch-Easy enough. I am
in love with Mile. Nilsson, and 1
shall love her till 1 die.
Reporter-How long since you
first fell in love with the lady?
Busch-It is about fortnight
ago saw her first; she played Mar
guerite in "Faust." At this point
Charles Theodore's whole counte-
nance lit up with sort of enthusi-
asm, and he warbled the aria in the
garden scene. "Ah, sir" he contin-
ued, 81 saw her afterward in Lucia
! di Lammermoor,' and then 1 loved
her to distraction. I could think of
nothing else but my passionate ado
ration for that glorious creature"
RepOrter--then you never saw
her till two weeks ago?
Charles Theodore-No, sir; but
about eight months ago I was work
ing on a railroad in the upper part
of the State, and I saw her picture
in the railroad depot at Syracuse,
and ever since then have had her
image in my mind.
What are you working
at now?
Charles TheOdOre--I am with my
brother at No. 62 Chatham street !;
he is a manufacturer of thermome-
ters. Before that I was a music
teacher; I teach music now when
ever I can get any pupils.
Reporter-Are you fond ofmusic {?
Charles Theodore-It was my
first love.
Reporter-Why do you not send
to your brother to get you out Of
here
Charles Theodore--Ah sir, am
not in the least troubled. Mile.
Nilsson will take me out; I have
every confidence in her. I am con-
tent to stay here till she does; then
we shall be married, and together
we will start a musical conservatory.
Reporter-What makes you so
confident ?
Charles TheOdore--Well, it is a
delicate subject but 1 will tell you.
She loves me.
Claude MeInotte never threw more
pathos into these three last words
than did the unfortunate Charles at
this juncture.
Reporter--She loves you?
Charles Theodore-Yes, sir, I will
tell you how I know. You have
seen "Faust ?" You remember the
garden scene ?" (The reporter as
sented to both propositions.) Well,
sir, she was playing Marguerite, and
she held the flower in her hand,
picking it to pieces, saying: "He
loves me--he loves me not" The

she looked up, and recognizing me,

Reporter-I suppose so.


Charles Theodore--Ah ! but that
is not all. Mile. Nilsson then walked
across the stage and waved her arm
from right to left, pointing toward
the stage door, meaning for me to
meet her there in Fourteenth street.
(Charles described the motion, throw
ing his right hand over his left
shoulder, and pointing downward. }
Well I went for the door at once,
but that iron staircase is so winding

Reporter-Did you go there
again ?
Charles Theodore-Yes, sir. I
was there every night, and saw her
get into her carriage.
Reporter-Did you ever speak to
the lady; ever offer her a boquet? ?
Charles Theodore-No, sir. There
wei e too many people around for
me to speak to her, and I was too
poor to buy a boquet. I got five
dollars from my brother one night.
1 intended to ask the lady to supper.
That night, however, she did not ap-
pear, and I felt so bad that I spent
the money on wine.
Reporter-How did you manage
to get to Mile. NiIsson's room?
Charles TheOdore-I followed her
carriage home and found out where
she stopped. The next day 1 went
there and asked to see her; they
would not let me. 1 went again
with package, aud went up to the
room with waiter. That day she
was out.
Reporter-But you got in to-day !?
Charles TheOdore-Yes; 1 went
there twice early this morning, but
they would not let me up stairs. AT
half past ten 1 went in the hotel
quietly, and when I saw no one
watching I slipped quietly up stairs.
II went directly to her room and

San Domingo

A New York. telegram of the 10th
gives the following picture of the
condition. of affairs IN that little patch
of ground which the President is so
anxious to annex to this country: ~
San Domingo advices received here
represent deplorable condition of af-
fairs existing in that country. The
city of San Domingo is said to resem-
bic a fortress more than a public city.
The gates of the city are ktkt locked
at night, and permission to go out is
only obtained from the Governor. A
number of officers of the Yantic were
recently refused admission, where
upon they scaled the walls and made
complaint to the Governor. Political
discussions are strictly forbidden, and
persons engaged in such discussions
are punished or banished., The feel.
and his power does not now extend
upon many OF The best sites in the
neighborhood Of San Domingo City,
knowing that annexation will bring
large numbers of Foreigners more en-.
terprising than the Dominicans, and
the land will become very valuable,
many of the buildings III, the city are
in a miserable dilapidated condition,
being roofiess and untenanted, the
people are totally ignorant of what is
being done regarding annexation,
even if realizing what it means. A
body of troops have been sent to
Azera, which place is threatened by
Cabral. The cause of Cabral is gain
ing, a large number of Dominicans
have been excited on account of their
opposition to Baez and have joined
the rebellion against him. Cabral has
issued proclamation making deser-
ton punishable with death.
