THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY for July
verifies in midsummer the promise of the
new year. The atlantic has been every
month of rare and uniform excellence.
"Septimius Felton," "The Poet at the
Breakfast Table," and Diversions of the
Echo Club" are a galaxy of choice attrac-
tons, and "a Comedy of Terrors" is
thrown in for those who fancy the more
startling in literature. Besides these, we
have this month an article by James Par
ton, entitled Jefferson Rclormer of Old
Virginia." chapter about "John Brown
and his Friends" and John A. Bolles be-
gins to tell "Why Semmes, of the Alaba-
ma, was not Tried" There is also consid-
cradle lighter reading and pleasant poetry,
and the usual unrivaled editorial criticisms

IT is said that there are now annually
exported to England thousands of barrels
of flour, which return again in the shape of
fancy crackers and biscuits. Every we'll
regulated northern grocery has them for
sale, and the extent to which this trade has
grown is somewhat remarkable. In 1870
sample case of certain English crackers
was imported to New York as an experl-
ment, and the result is that the yearly average
is now about 800, 900 pounds, representing
value ofnearly 100000. The great sue
cess attending this venture led other En-
glish cracker manufacturers to send theii
productions to the United States, and il
1871 the importations of all kinds ofcrack
ers amounted to nearly half million dol
lars. Owing to limitations and competition
the profit on these goods is very samll
but many grocers sell them simply as
| card.

THE Prince of Wales is again getting
himself into the hottest kind Of hot water.
This time the royal scandal is confined to
the Paris demoiselles, and the proof is
conclusive that he is fast becoming very
naughty fellow, in spite Of his late reforma-
tory illness. But then, what is the use OF
chronicling these things. 1t can make the
world no better to know that crown
prince is not what he should be-. Prince
Hal y was sad boy until the honors OF
the kingdom fell upon his shoulders, and
then he showed himself every inch man.
Eve the Prince of Wales chance to dis
play his manhood, before he is judged too
sharply.

THE Local Committee of the Greeley
party in New York city, is fast fading into
obscurity. The Times of yesterday records
the withdrawal of two members, Messrs.
w. II. Draper and Anthony Alliare.
These gentlemen after explaining their OPP
position to the Cincinnati ticket say: "Be-
lieving the safety of our country would be
periled in the elevation of Horace Greeley
to the Presidency, with his present political
surroundings, and, entertaining true Repub'
lican principles, we are compelled to resign
from the Committee"
Supporting the Liberal ticket in New
York is getting to be lonesome business fol

the Herald establishment is shortly to be
sold. Young Mr.. Bennett, it is said, has
decided to discontinue his connection with
journalistic life at an early day, and the
paper will be sold. either at private sale OF
at auction. The rumor, we think, must
be groundless, as it was generally under.

forbids the sale of the paper.

teution from Horace Greeley. Senator
Fenton, q reformer after Greeley's own
heart, is flooding the country with halt

A rnpr1aN letter renresents that money

A FOREIGN letter represents that money
is plentiful in France. 1t would seem that
France has suffered comparatively little by
the war; at all events, great deal less
than had been supposed. Were this not
the case, it would have been impossible for
her TO meet the national engagements by
appealing to credit, and thus having to face
the interest of the losses only, while DUR
ing previous administrations of the country
actual capital had to be resorted to. Paris
is therefore on the road to emincncc once
