The careful student of literature is
compelled to admit that there is a
dearth Of great new literary work. In
referring to this subject the other day
wospoke Of the inferences of Mr.. Spot
ford, the Librarian of congress, con-
corning the glut OF literary trash and
the absence of really meritorious work,
such as that furnished by the galaxy Of
famous English and American authors,
to which we referred. In Mr.. Spof.
tord's report to congress he says: 1T
is gratifying to find amid the great aud
hitherto unexampled fertility of the pro-

books which may properly be termed

Shakespeare, such historians as Glib

Parkman. and such noyslists as Scott,
Cooper, Bulwer, Dickens, Thackeray
and Hawthorne, will case to be read.
The constant consumption by the
reading world of new editions of stand

is proof of the ultimate sounduess Of
the public taste. In order to crafty

THE FIRST sentiment which prevailed
regarding the disappearance of Will
liam Z9ll, late treasurer of the Lahig h
and Wilkes. Barre Coal company when
it was reported he had disappeared, has
changed very materially now that it is
discovered he is a defaulter. From
sorrow and sympathy, which existed
when he appeared in the character Of an
honest man as he had always been re
garded, to Indignation and amazsms ant,
which now exist at his fall from virtue,
was a short transition. 1t is so in every
case; single act may plungsa man
from the highest pinnacle of esteem
into the lowest depths of exscration.

IT WAS NOTICEABLE that during the
discussion in the house of the free coal
clause Of the Wilson bill all the amend,
ments which proposed a tax on coal Of
any amount whatever were voted
down, although discussion revealed
that there were several Democrats who
were in favor of a duty of some sort.

that they were not Of sufficient num-
