Minister Taylor is very pleasantly mentioned
by the Echo of London, as poet, traveller, lec-
turer, journalist, novelist aud diplomatst,
distinguished man of letters "who was COZ
nected with the New York Tribune. and may
be said to have never ceased welding his ver-
satie and graceful pen.'
Thomas Carlyle, in letter lately published
for the first time aud written to Thomas Arid,
thus refers to his French Revolution "rhe
unspeakable Book is fIirly to press, thank
Heaven. In six weeks more my share of busi-
ness with it will be over for ever and day.
1t will bs worth little to most men, to all men;
except to me the incalculable worth of toub-
ling me no naore.'
Professor Longtellow gets this sober sort of
appreciation from the Athsneam: "He has
'ta'en his wages of applause, and is not likely
to startle the public by new achievement, or
H.
formed of his merits. In common with the
literary world Of England and America we
turn to the new Gates he provides, find in them
familiar and not unpleasant flavor, and
breakfast with what appetite we have.
The new edition of Zsps Encyclopedia pub
lished by I. Elwood Zall, Davis & Co.. Phila-
delphia, is completed, and the publishers have
decided to furnish it with all the thirty-five
maps of the Hand Atlas of the World instead
of eighteen as heretofore, and give an index to
each map. There are three more lots of four
parts each to be issued, which will come from
the house in May aud June, more fire.
quently than heretofore. The work is an ex-
ceptionally able and valuable one.
The June Atlantic will have the last chapter
of Detmold and the concluding paper of Mr..
Warmers Adirondack experiences, this one de-
scrbing the charms of Camping Out. Anoth-
er characteristic chapter from Thorean' Jour-
nal is appropriately devoted to Days in June.
Art lovers and fanciers will be interested in an
Imaginary Dialogue on Decorative Art, by
John Trowbridge; a paper reviewing several
New Books on Art; and the Open Letter from
New York, which is full of art and artist gos-
sip and criticism. Richard Grart White writes
of England on the Rails; Arthur G. Sedgwick
discusses some Unforeseen Results of the Ala.
.bama dispute; and Henry Cabot Lodge has
biographico-political article on Timothy Pick
ering. There are poems by Fl. H., Mrs, Rose
Hawthorne Lathrop and Mrs. Piatt.

To correct the errors and falsehoods of the
New Era would be as endless task as to
count the sands upon the seashore or the
stars in the host of heaven. One may how
ever correct few at time. Here are four: |:
the three forgeries, one on Webster, one on
the New York Times, one on the New York
World. and the garbling of figures by which
the national debt in 1865 has been under
stated by billion Of dollars. The attention
of the Era has been repeatedly called to these
mistatements, but it persists in them thus con-
victing itself of deliberate falsehood. What
reliance can be placed on any of its state
ments?
The Portland daily press., 1878-05-11

As a very important source of strength
and security, cherish public credit. One
method of preserving il is to use it as
sparingly as possible; avoiding occasions
of expense by cultivating peace, but re.
memberins also that timely disbursements
10 prepare for danger frequently prevent
much greater disbursements 10 repel it !;
avoiding likewise the accumulation of
debt, NOT only by stunning occasions of
expense, but by vigorous exertiOns in time
of peace TO discharge the debts which un-
avOidable wars may have occasioned, NOT
ungenerousiy throwing upon posferity the
burden which we ourselves ought TO bear.

THE New Era says that 'sfrom July r.,

sued legal tender money to the amount of
S1,660, 0,0O0,0O0. OF this there was outstand-

of s1,295, ,13S $780," Assuming on the au-
thority of the Ne,o Era. aud there could not
be worse authority, that these figures are cor
rect the Government has paid s1,295, lbs, $3.50
of its notes, the people have paid that
amount of their debt and are SO much richer.

A correspondent of the Chicago Times recol-
lects calling on Adelaide Phillips, when she
expected visit from Signor Taglapietra. "He
has such flow of mad Italian spirits.'' said
the lady, BY way of preparation, aud indeed,
some preparation seems to have been needed,
for she burst upon Miss Phillips aud her caller
without word of warning. The time was
winter. A steam heating register at one end
of the parlor was cracking dismally from want
OF steam. After Tagliapietra was introduced
he shuddered, and then, pretending to be much
frightened at the cracking sound in the regis
ter he made bolt and shot under the sofa,
where he lay trembling for some ten mintues.

The Oswego Palladium, journal that
has already begun to protest against the re-
nomination of Mr.. Tilden, says, "The party

SOME ardent Greenbacker advertises in the
Neo Era to send for one dollar s'thirteen
pure Brown Leghorn eggs from the best lay

what warrant have we that he will send
these? May he not send thirteen pieces of
paper, each marked ''this is Brown Leghorn

IT is of course possible that the Russians
will withdraw from Roumelia, but extremely
