JENNINGS.

Albion w. Tourgee has written a new novel. Mr. Tourgee's field of literature was destroyed when Haybers' Weekiy dropped the southern tiger.
The Arkansaw traveler., 1884-12-13

The presidents message has been widely copied, though in literary merit it certainly falls below many shorter articles from less exalted writers. Mir. Arthur is man of excellent taste in neck-tie matters, and is superb managing editor of a suit of clothes, but he does not seem to have properly seized the literary idea of the nineteenth century. His idea of plot we must say, is very poor, but the moral, which he paints red, stands boldly out all along theline. As an author, we do not believe that Mir. Arthur has a good conception of character, and some of his attempts at humor are even worse. The navy joke which he "gets of is very old. The "paragraphers " through out the country have reduced it to a thread-bare condition. His pleasant reference to the treasury, though is in- spiriting. He speaks of millions of dol lars with charming carelessness,- as though the association with such matters were an every day affair. He omitted to joke the south, which negative feature is the most original of his entire work. By hard study MT. Arthur might become an excellent eoitor of an agricultural paper, and might exercise excellent judgment in the arrangement of semi-annual horti- cultural supplement, but we do not believe that as story writer he can ever take rank with Hawthorne. He might try his lily white hand on the drama, but even in that line we can hardly expect him to rise above some of the Grecians who dealt somewhat in that line of business. A producer of presidential message seems to be writing to space" He has just so many columns to fill before the paper goes to press, and requesting the foreman, to tell him when he gets enough, he goes to work with premeditation and forethought. The president who would confne himself to about three "sticks " full of matter is not likely to find em- ployment at the White House
