CHRISTMAS ANNUALs.-We are already
beginning to have the Christmas ANIMALS.
believe you do not have this flood OF Christ
mas literature in New York, and you are for
tunate. Here the publishers of most of the
magazines bring out long in advance an
abomination called Christmas Number,
which contains a string of stories, some SEN
sational, some comic, Kept together, by some
pretence, as an imitation of the plan of the
ssDecamerono or the "Canterbury Tales"
Dickens set this dreadful fashion going in
Household Words, but when everybody began
to initiate it he dropped it. These stories
have nothing to DO with Christmas. They
are generally written in July, and the num-
bers are printed before the end of September.
There is story about lonely inn and a
murder; about something in France; about
an adventure in Switzerland; about beauti-
full and virtuous circus girl; about patient
and delightful lame girl-and all that sort of
thing. Every number looks Just like anoth-
er. Tinsley's Magazine has indeed made
the daring innovation of having the whole
number consist of one story-this time to
be called "A Blade of Grass" and written
by Mr.. Fareon, author of "Joshua Mar
vell," about whom 1 wrote in my last
letter. But the other magazines cling
to their string of dull stories. L can remem-
Der the old-fashioned Annuals, with their
stories by Bulwer and Maginn, their poems
by Mrs. Norton and Alaric Watts, and their
steel engravings of lovely peeresses and be-
witching Eastern ladies, with long eyelashes
and dresses very open at the bosom. They
were not, perhaps, vigorous style of litera-
ture, and nobody suffered much when, at
last, they were laughed out of existence
But really think they were never so much
better than the Christmas ANIMALS of to-day,
with their mechanical sensationalism, their
pumped-up sentiment, and their genuine,
spontaneous, all-pervading yulgarity.-lLon-
