Literary Notes.


The March number of the Magazine OF
american History is before us, filled with
interesting matter for the student of
American history and the general reader.
Its typographical make up is Of the usual
excellent neatness. and we find great
pleasure in casually going through its in
structiye pages. The table of contents,
besides the usual notes, queries, replies,
proceedings of historical societies, liter
airy notices, ETC., contains a splendid steel
portrait of the Baron De Kalb, engraved
by Hall, followed by the following inter-
esting papers: 1.-The ScOtcb-Irish in
New England" 10y George IL. Smythe;
Migrants Journey Through North AM

ographical account of the travels of NicO-
let. AllOnez. Marquette, Hennepin and La

magazine should find Judgment on the
shelf Of every bookcase in the land, and
is published by a. 5. Barnes Il Co., New
York and Chicago.
The CyclopGdid Of Political Science,
Political Economy, and Of the Political
History Of the United States. The first
volume of this magnificent and cOmpre-
hensiye series, which is destined to fill an
important niche in English literature, is
before US, and we are only sorry that our
limited space will not permit Of such a
notice as it deserves. The undertaking OF
this magnificent work was suggested and
encouraged by Hon. Alexander Mitchell,
of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to whom it is
dedicated. 1t is a somewhat remarkable
fact that neither American nor English
literature has hitherto possessed a cyclic
padia of political science and political
economy The French. Germans and Ital-
ians are ahead of us in this particular.
The Germans have ROtteck and Welcker's
Staats Lexicon" and Bluntschili and
Brater's . Stats WOrterbush," and the
French have BlOcke's DictiOnnarle
Generate de Ia Politique" and the
celebrated DictiOnnarie de PEcOnO-
ME Politique," edited by Gullur-
name and Coquelin. The work
which we now notice fills this remarkable
gap perfectly, and it will be to the Eng
lish and American student what the
above named works are to German and
French students of political science and
political economy. The leading journals
of the West speak in the highest terms of
the scOne of the work, and the faithful
manner in which the original idea has
been carried out, and a hasty eXamina-
ton of the first volume of the CyclOp9dia
cOnyinces us that they speak but the
truth when they commend it to the
American people. 1t will be completed
in three handsome volumes of eight or
nine hundred pages each, and is very
carefully edited by John j. LalOr, and
published by Rand, McNally & Co., Chi

Mr.. Goscben, who seems to be good
authority in England on currency, recent
~ made a speech in Parliament, in which
he sounded an alarm ON the future of the
gold question. The estimated rise in gold
is stated at Is to 20 per cent, without any
probable increase in the future supply,
and as this bears hardly on the farming
class. who get less for their produce but
must continue to pay the same as hereto
fore for rent, taxes, labor, etc., the ques-
ton becomes serious from Mr.. Goschen's
standpoint, and must grow in interest
among the capitalists of England, who
have constantly resisted every effort to
introduce the double standard of gold
and silver, because of their confidence in
their ability to control the gold
market and transact all business
in that currency. Mr.. GOschen thinks
that the annual yield of gold in the future
will decline rather than increase, that the
wear and tear and the use of the
metal in the arts will more than exhaust
the annual yield. The gold stock of Eng
land, he says, has experienced a special
shrinkage because of the large absorption
during the last ten years by the United
States and Germany and the recent pur-
chases made by Italy in anticipation of
specie resumption. These countries are
believed to have taken up about $l,OOO,-
OO0, 600 of the small stock of the world,
and there is no prospect that either
Of them will he compelled to
surrender any part OF their
accumulations to England. In the United
States, on the contrary, indications are
pointed out in the shrinkage of prices,
and partial suspension Of industries, that
will lead to domestic economy and re-
trenchment from abroad, in which event
the gold will all be retained and the Eng
lish compelled to contribute still more in
payment for American purchases.
This, even if used in the interest of the
gold brokers on this side of the water, is
not a bad showing for America, and while
we may deprecate anything like disaster
to our British cousins i'm the domain Of
trade, it would probably be their own
fault in standing out so stubbOrnly against
the standard of silver. Our own prosper
ity under the double standard might give
them a hint, but as we shall probably
have, under the favor of Providence, an
other monster grain crop ready for British
gold next fall. we have no desire serious
w to interfere with their choice of cur
rency standards. We esteem it exceed
ingly fortunate, however, that the mighty
progress of American agriculture and
general industries, places her at this time
safely above all foreign connections in
the gold market and enables her to COM
mand remunerative prices for her labor.

APHYsIcIAN's EXPERIENCE.

DR.. r. X. Clark, a regular physician of
extensive practice in Grand Isle county,
and worthy deacon of the Congregational
Church, at South Hero, VT, has used
Kidney-Wort for several years i'll his
practice, and before the present prOprie-
tors purchased an interest in it, he had
given his unbiased opinion in its favor.
This opinion has not changed. 1t has done

writes: Il do not recollect an instance
where the patient to whom l have given

They are from a representative, conscien-

and there were two murders in the same

Wrong ImpressiOn.


An impression, real or feigned, appears
to prevail among many of our Northern
contemporaries that the Georgia Democ-
rack have a peculiarly delicate task oe-
fore them in the selection OF success
sOr 10 our late lamented Executive
whose death has created the necessity
for sueb a choice. The usually well in
formed Philadelphia Press remarks: 1.-THE
Georgia Democrats will be lucky if they
succeed in electing a successor to Gov.
Stephens without big party row.
This is news 10 the Georgia Democrats,
if not to their opponents. If there is any
display of feeling such as would involve
the possibility Of a crow" we have failed
to perceive il. We may search our ex-
changes in vain for evidence Of such COM
initial to any candidate '.first. last and all
the time rs would permit OF dis
cord in the deliberations OF
the coming convention. Indeed. the list OF
candidates for the position to be filled IS
remarkably brief. 1t may be that as the
dav for the convention draws nigh the num-
Der of local favOrites will increase, but at
this writing there are but two candidates
who exhibit any great show OF strength.
These are the gentleman who disputed
with Mr.. Stephens for the nomination in
the July convention, and the present
incumbent Of the Executive Office.
Whether any new candidate will enter
the race formidable enough to draw off
the followers Of Messrs. Bacon and BOyn-
ton remains to be seen.
But. surveying the field, there is no in-
dicatiOn that the deliberations of the con-
ventiOn will DE other than harmonious.
There is no issue involved in the coming
election save the maintenance Of the pros
perity Of the commonwealth. But what
ever be the choice Of the convention, he
will receive the hearty Endorsement of the
Georgia Democracy. The campaign,
if it can be called such, is being
conducted with decency and dignity, and
the indications are that its progress
will not be disturbed by dissensiOns
such as might threaten the harmony
of the party. Our Northern contempOra-
ries would welcome discOrd i'm our ranks,
but there is no prospect of their early
qualification. Rest easy, gentlemen. The
Georgia Democracy will nominate the
proper man for Governor, and will elect
him without material opposition.
