SLENDER REWARD or LITERARY LABOR
Bayard Taylor, 10 a letter TO the editor Of the
Cincinnati Commercial, says:
Ifyou could iu some way help to make pco.

claims made upon him-and that wealth is

other, by the highest, pureSt and most perma.

service to our guild. Emerson is now seventy
four years old, and his last volume is the only
one which has approached rcmuperative sale.
Bryant is in his eighty third year, and he could
not buy modest house with all he ever re-
ceivcd in his Lie from his poems. Washington
Irving was nearly seventy years old before

muneralion formerly derived from those

value. But the translation Of "Faust, to which

me about as mu,h as ortnlght'S lectur ng.

Just how it is proposed to decide upon the
different degrees of beauty among the cOlOred
babies in the show we are not informed.
Are the pickaninnies to he judged by the
African or Caucasian standard Of beauty
White babies and adults are Judged by the
color and expression of their eyes, the color
and character of their hair, the clearness OF
their compilations, the shape of their noses
and ears, the size and shape of their feet and
hands, etc, but colored babies all have eyes
alike and, if they are pure blOOds, all have
the same complexion, the same sort of hair
and feet of the same general shape. There

souneness of African infants should be deter.
min I'd by the African standard, whatever
that NAV be.

A NEW DEPARTURE.

Some OF the provisions of the new state
constitution just adopted by the people of
Georgia are new and novel, but the most of
them will commend themselves to the popu-
lar appreciation as worthy Of adoption by
every state in the union. Perpetual
charters, with special privileges, are pro-
hibited. Railroad freight and passenger
tariffs are fixed, and all discrimination
prohibited. Strict laws against dueling are
included in it; lobbying is made a crime.
and petty larceny disiranchises. The State
Us prohibited from lending aid to railroads.
The negro is placed in the fullest and freest
possession of his citizenship, and the State
educates him. The whipping post is abol-
ished there lis 10 he no Imprisonment for
debt; the legislative per diem is reduced
from 81 to SO, and biennial are substituted
for annual sessions.

The New York Void, of the S,h inst,
publishes summary of the discoveries made
last year by DIR. Schleimann,-a full ac-
count of which will soon he published in
book form-and saws:
OF late historical skepticism, which is
grounded in the doctrine OF the myths, has
received some severe blows, and a caucus OF
scholars would in all probability express the
predominating opinion that Troy was, and
that The main facts OF the Trojan war as
described by Homer are genuine. However
this may BE-, it Cannot be doubted that DIR.
Schleiman has rendered most brilliant
sevices TO scholarship, and even if his views
as TO the bearing OF what he has brought to
light shall not be accepted, the discoveries
themselves Will remain Ia be accounted for in
some way. The people who in remote anti
guilty built Cyclopean palaces, and laid away
in their tombs such masses of beaten gold
most beautifully wrought, as have been
found through the exertions of Dc. SculIe-
mann and his wife, must have been a great
people. Who and what were they? Receiv-
ing or rejecting the views of the explorer
upon this question in no way can enhance or
depreciaie the value of the work that he has
