Home Literature.

The time is yet far in the future when
the literary ventures of Texas authors are
likely to beappreciated at home. Wenoticed
some time since having seen at bookstores IN
Galveston considerable part of two or
three editions of Original poetry" by differ
ent authors; and ut m Austin bookstore the
same thing may be seen with respect to an
attempted history of Texas regiment in the
late war. These ventures, doubtless, with
many Others, are awaiting the advent OF the
coming paper mill in Texas to be ground
over" and made into Blank paper again.
The outlook with respect to Texas maya
zine literature is much Of the same general
character, though we hope there may besome
exceptions. Some have already gone under,
notably the Southern Amaranth" of Prof.
Dixon. 1t ran well for season, and we
began to think might survive, when it sud
denly collapsed. We notice that three
Others at least, yet remain in the field
l. The american Sketch Book" edited
and published by Mrs Bella F. Swisher, at
Austin. This is tho pioneer magazine OF
Texas, 80 far as we have noticed. 1t had
greater treason to be" than some others,
because it was in part devoted to descrlp-
tive and historical sketches Of different
portions Of the State, in which respect 1t
has done some good work, while In other
respects it has been distinguished for origi-
nality AMI versatility. 1t ought to and we
{ ink might have had advertising enough to
have paid good part Of the expenses. But
for some Cause 10 has been languishing for
several months, and from a monthly has
now become quarterly. The last issue,
however, is equal to any Of its predeceso rs,
and full of life and promise. We notice
that Mrs Agnes Jean, Of San Antonio, o
lady of some literary note, has been added
to the corps of assistant editors. We hope
soon to see the Sketch Book again issued as
n monthly, promptly and reSaI0rty; then, il
MS well conducted as 1t has been, there could
be little doubt of its permanency and suo-
cess.
q. Mrs. C. NJ. Wlnkler, Of Corsicana,
widow of the late Judge Winkler, of the
court of Appeals, started last May maya

which is an earnest Of success. We have
never been favored with copy, but we see

changes.

Wagncr's Last Days In Venice.

The Rev. ii. X. Hawcis, visiting Bay
reuth, contributes TO current literature
some "reminiscences of Wagner's last days
at Venice. The great maestro much en-

autumn days, breathing the fresh air.
" ALL" he would say, drawing a long
breath. "No smoke, no dust!' At night
his sitting-rooms were blaze OF light with
quantities Of wax candles. People used
TO look up at Byron's quarters when he
was in Venice. and wonder what festival
could be gong on. The waters OF the
Grand canal were all aglow, but it was
only Byron, alone with the MSS. OF {" Man
fred" Parisina," and don Juan"
Wagner's old porter happened to be brother
to Byron's Old servant Fido. "Thcre is
something Xix Byron about this great Ger
man" he remarked. Z" what is that?"
they asked. " Why, he has the same mar
vel3us need Of wax candles !" "Where
light is there is joy" Wagner used to say.

with The people. chatted and ioked, and
was ever ready TO relieve the poor. He
was worshipped by his gondolicrs. ." He
patted me on the'back," said one, '.asked
me if was tired. and said. 'Amico mao,
SO the Carnival has come to an end"
The man repeated the incident everywhere,
as if it bad been the great event OF his
life. "They say he is greater than king;
isn't it SOP" was the common talk in the
streets as he passed. On December 23d
Wagner undertook to conduct, in the
presence OF a chosen circle, his Firs SYM
phony,' in honor OF his wife's birthday.
1t was one OF his very early works. On
taking the baton, he turned to The musi-
clans and said, This Is the last time |
