LITERARY NOTES.

Miss Mcott has fallen victim to the literary
piracy which, ne grieye to say, prevails on the
other side of the Atlantic. Her 81 Little Wo-
men" was first published BY Messrs. Sampson,
Low d Co. In tho interest of the euthor, md
with her sanction. Some 'spirates," Eeizing the
work, undersold tho 1ightful publisher, appc-
1ently at g very great reduction, by splitting tho
book into two volumes, calling them respectively
"Little Women" and 'Little Wives" Mcssrs.
Low, to protect themselves, are now obliged
also to divide the work, and issue "Little Wo-
men" and tt Little Women Welded"
It may be remembered here that Routledge l.
Co., Of London, have been eccentric enough to
pay Mr. Eggleston for tho publication OF his
book in England.
Miss Kellogg is to give her experience
Of stage-life in autobiographic form.
All lovers Of E1izabethan literature will be
pleased to hear that the fifteen comedies and
tragedies Of George Chapman, issued separately
in various years from 1898 to 1864, but never be-
fore collected, arc on the eve Of publication by
Alr. Pearson, IN three volumes. The toxt is re-
printed reroatin, ct ,ieratin, from the oigi
nal qrartos, and is accompanied by memoir of
the author. The high place which Chnpman oc-
cupies in literature, and the enthusiastic admi-
ration which some Of the best critics, including
HAZlIl, SueiSy. .IAaI4es LAu1D3 dAA udIt1u,
have expressed for his dramatic writings, make
it surprising that his plays should not before
now have been placed within the reach Of poeti-
cal and dramatic students. Charles Lamb as
serted that, OF all the English play-Nriters,
Chapman perhaps approached nearest to shak-
6peare.
Professor Cairnes, the we1l-lnoWn Scotch
economist, has written volume of essays On
titled s'Essays in Theoretical andAppIed Politi-
cal Economy" which will be issued before
Christmas. It contains 3 series of studies On
the recent gold diacoyerlea and their influence
On prices.
There is marked likeness between parts Of
tho Battle Of Agincourt, by Michael Drayton,
one OF the Elizabethan Forty, and Tennyson's
"Gharge Of the Light Brigade" This is espec-
tally to be seen in these verses
Faire stood the wlnd:for france
When our Sayles advance,
Nor now to prove chance
Longer will tarTy;
But putting to the Mayne,
At EGur, the mouth Of Seyne,
With all his b1art1au Trayne.
Landed ,kiug Hurry.
They now to fight are gone,
Armour on armour shone,
Drunme now to Drumme did groaa
To heare was wonder;
That with TIC Cryes they make.
The very earth did shake,
Trumpet to Trumpet spake,
Thunder to Thunder.
Upon st. Czispin's day
Fought was this Noble Fray,
Which Fame did not delay
To England to carry:
o when Shall English Man
With such acts fill Pen
Or England breed againe
Such i King Harry?

At the grounds OF the Athletic Club at Harlem

most agile, and, after dead heat, won the much
coveted reward OF victory.
It was agreed that each competitor should have
three trials at each height Both gentlemen cleared
the bar until IL raised to four feet i've inches,
when Burris fouled 1t on the first try, but got

inches both men, by good jumping, went over the

to the rules Of the club, the match had to be
jumped over again. Both gentlemen showed much
agility, and IL was not until the bar placed at
four feet eight inches that 1t was touched. Then
Burrs missed twice. but went clear on his third
trial, while Curtis went over on his second. When

LOTTIE STANTON.

The Medical Examination I'm the Case
She is Not Out OF Danger-Dempscy Still
In Custody.
The physicians who have been in attendance
upon Lottie Stanton or Is West Thirteenth street,
the woman so brutally assaulted and kicked while
lying helpless the floor OF her house, by Joseph
Dempsey, the deposed Clerk Of the Board of AS
sistant Aldermen, met In her room at twelve
O'Clock yesterday to consult over her condition aud
the prospects OF her recovery. Lottie was mucn i'm
proved, but still not out OF danger and
Deputy Coroner Marsh, as well as the other physi-
clans present. would not consent to sign certii-
cate which would result in liberating Dempsey
from custody. Lottie has intense pains In the
head, and complains OF great soreness In the chest
and abdomen, where she was Kicked by her brutal
and ruiiianly assaiIant, after being Knocked down.
Captain Byrnes, OF the Fifteenth precinct had
Dempsey In the house, but the physicians thought
1t unsafe to then confront the prisoner with his
victim and the matter was indefinitely postponed.
Dempsey was sadly disappointed at the decision
OF the physicians, he felt quite confident, leav
ing his cell Mercer street police station, that he
would regain his liberty and not be compelled to
pass another Sabbath In prison.. He was remanded
back TO the station house by Coroner Young, and
will stay there at least till Monday, when there Is
to be another consultation over Lottie's condition.
John Jones, the confederate or Dempsey in the
murderous assault, has not yet been arrested
although some Of his friends assert that he Is In the
city, but secreted where the police cannot find him.

vine Rcciting Curious "Reminiscences.
NEwBURG, Oct. II, 1872
Newburg district Is one OF the sections into
which the New York Conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church is divided. 1t ex-
tends from Warwick, In Orange county, to
Saugerties, in Ulster, and contains forty or
fifty churches. During the past four years its
ecclesiastical interests have been supervised by
Rev. Joseph B. Wakeley, d. D., venerable clergy
man, well known personally to the Methodists Of
this State, and by his literary labors to the men,
bers Of that denomination In this country and in
Great Britain. As the Doctor, now completing his
forteth year OF service in the ministry Is to leave
the district in the Spring, In accordance with the
requirements OF the "Discpline,n which limits the
term OF presiding elder in any one district to
four years, his friends determined to present him
with
SOME SUBSTANTIAL TOKENS
OF their regard for his unspoted Christian charac
ter and invaluable services to the Church.
Accordingly, all the arrangements having
been made, they gathered at his resi-
clergymen under his charge were present, and
there was large attendance OF the laity. Rev.
Andrew Longacre, on behalf OF the laymen OF the

Olives. on behalf of the ladies' Rev. j. Y. Bates pre-
sented to DR.. Wakeley's wife a purse OF 800. The
presentations were accompanied with appropriate
speechmaking and pleasant time generally was
had.
IN DIR. wAKELEY's RESPONSE,
he said October seemed to him Meth0distic
month. In that month the following memorable
MethOdistical events occurred:-In 1875 John and
Charles Wesley came to America; In 1859 Joseph
Pilmoor and Richard Boardman, Wesley's first
missionaries, came to New York; in I76o Philip
Embury preached the first Methodist sermon In
America; in 1868 the first Methodist church in
America was dedicated by Philip Embury; in 1773
the great Pioneer Bishop, Francis AsDury, landed
in Philadelphia; in 1868 the great centenary Of
American Methodsm took place. Some interest
ing "reminiscences OF his early ministerial life were
given by DIR. Wakeey. His first 'circuit' was
eighty miles around, and his salary $780, and $50
for his liable expenses, provided he got it."

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Reading Mr.. Froude's lecture in the HERALD this
morning was somewhat surprised at reading the
following sentence :-"At the time or the American
Revolution the Protestants OF the North Of Ireland
had sympathized with the cause Of American Free

moral support to the cause of the tories.n While l
admire truth, let 1t be ever obnoxious to
me, cannot for moment think
that any one knowing anything OF
the history OF the American Revolution or Irish
history would make this new and bold assertion,
unless, indeed, 1t was said for some object. The
English government at the time OF the American
Revolution found that nearly all OF her Catholic
Irish regiments which she sent to this country de-
serted to the Americans She then sent her Irish
Protestant regiments aud some Dutch soldiers, but
not till after losing many OF her best regiments. 1t
was at the battle OF Bunker Hill that the irish

charge on the Americans, and when they had

Not Satisfied with Being ssTolerated," He
Sues for "Rights."
In the Court of Special Sessions, yesterday morn
ing, an argument was listened to in favor OF Mr..
Bergh's rights to act as prosecuting counsel In all
cases brought against persons by the American
Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty to Animals.
Mr.. Bergh's counsel occupied one whole hour in
referring to and quoting the statutes in favor OF his
client. He showed that the Attorney General
had, except in Of duelling, bribery, &c.-for
which he is obliged to prosecute in pers0n-au-
thority to appoint, with salary, any one whom he
thought competent to prosecute for him.
IL will be remembered that this Court informed
Mr. Bergh some days since that he was only toler-
ated as matter OF courtesy, and that his right or
authority was not acknowledged. Mr.. Bergh ac-
cepted this position; but now that the question OF
his right has been raised he Is determined to have
the afair settled.
The decision OF the Court was reserved.

by the judges was as follows:-

The canoes were all now headed for the stake
boat OF College Point and were still close hauled
on the wind. The Leila went by the Gretchen 10

wake OF the Violetta and Gretchen. The Violetta
did some good sailing on this leg, and fetched the
stakeboat without tack. The Gretchen tackled
and, crossing the bows OF the ViOletta, stood o
little too far, and rounded second, followed by the
Leila The time taken was fOllOws:-

were covered with canvas for the run home. Cap

dandy to starboard, showed the fleet the way
home. Rear Commodore Schuyler set

do good service. The Leila finally passed the

three raced home at lightning speed. They arrived
