LITERARY NOTES.

Not the least of Edgar Allen Poe's sins wa,
the invention OF the detective story.
The September Century contains paper
on Napoleon Bonaparte Of unusual interest
and importance, being contemporary &C
counts by British officers, Of the ex-Emper
or's exile to Elba; his voyage TO st. Helena
and life on that island. Not the least valua
BILE part OF this record consists of the conver.
sations here preserved with Napoleon on
some ofthe most prominent passages of his
career.
Perhaps this patient, plodding teacher, has
no voice of genius with which 10 tell Of his
work; but Il lives and thrives and grow,
apace, and ripens into power, character and
safety for the State and the nation. His

Artistic Indifference.

/ must mention n melancholy fact
which shows how Fictitious is the taste
of the public for art, says Paris COR
respondent. People go in shoals TO an
art exhibition when III fashionable
one; it is the proper thing then. II
seems that the exhibition Of Baryes
works is not fashionable, for no one
goes to il; the entrance fees scarcely
amount to more than guinea a day.
Although the hall has been lent by the
Beaux Arts school, the expenses will
not be covered; and yet some of the
bronzes exposed are perfect master
pieces, worthy of Grecian art. Barye
is the first sculptor who ever modelled
animals as they really are. Before his
time people were satisfied with the
wigged lions, such as those that deco
rate Trafalgar square; triumphs of con-
ventionality, negations of truth. He
took the trouble to go TO Jardin des
Plantes and study the living model ;
and although the king of the desert
does not come ont to his full advantage
in n cage, still Barge modelled mar
velous things He loved all wild ami
mals-even elephants, buffaloes, and
rhinoceroses, dogs, stags. roes, goats,
or even rabbits, serpents. lizards-in
fact, all animals. But il is the custom
TO consider as secondary the art of an
animal painter or animal sculptor, and
poor Barye died in distress beside his
masterpieces. IL is, however, some
consolation for his ghost to know that
Americans are covering his bronzes
with gold; although it is shameful that
in his own land such indifference is
shown to his memory. IL is said that
America will erect the statue of which
France does not deem him worthy.

The Business Girl.

The business girl, says an exchange.
is new feature of life in the city. The
business girl is not particle afraid of a
man. She is not forever thinking of
how to catch one, either. She dresses
faultlessly, looks her prettiest, is very
polite, and has soft girlish voice, but
she does not flirt or ogle or sigh or
primp herself while she is in mems
company. She is like man in two
things: First, she dresses at home, and
never appears to thinkof her clothes
again until she changes them. Second,
she regards men as they do each other.
in perfect equality and with perfect
confidence.
