ENGLISH LITERATURE.
Among the numerous ami valuable
publications of the University Publishing
Company of New York, (of which Gen.
GQrdon 'of this State is Vice President)
none impresses us as more valuable in its
sphere than the volume entitled “English
Literature. A Historical Sketch of Eng
lish Literature from the earliest times."
This volume is the ftuit of the united
, authorship of Col. R. M. Johnson, for
merly of Hancock county, and well known
by his literary pscudomyn of “Philemon
Perch,” and of Wm. Hand Browne, Esq.,
the distinguished and learned editor of
the Southern Magazine of Baltimore.
Its main object is to present to the stu
dent of English Literature a correct idea
of its gradual growth by regular and
chronological progression from the small
streams which constituted its sources to
the mighty river which it may now, met
aphorieally, be considered. This object
is most successfully accomplished. Be-,
ginning with Theodore the first Archbishoj
of Canterbury, all the great names in
English Literature arc brought in sucoes
si on before the reader, accompanied by
illustrative extracts and judicious critical
remarks. The work is admirably adapted
not only for the use of the higher institu
tions of learning but to that of the gen
era! reader also ; and being the product
of Southern learning and genius it should
surely find unstinted patronage in the
South. We learn that the Rev. Mr. Al
len, the accomplished Principal of the
‘•Capitol School" of our city, has adopted
it as one of the text books for his advanced
pupils. It closes with sketches of James
Anthony Froude and John Ruskin, two
of the most eminent of England’s latest
writers.
The judicious and discriminating esti-
I mate of Lord Byron as an English litter
ateur - in this volume reminds us of the
view of the great English poet set forth
by Lady Byron, as appears from a letter
of hers to the late Henry Crabb Robin
son. In Robinson’s “ Diary and Corres
pondence” (two fascinating volumes
published by Osgood, Boston) Lady
Byron’s letter to “H. C. R.” says “Not
merely from casual expressions, but from
the tenor of Lord Byron’s feelings, I could
not but conclude he was a believer in the
inspiration of the Bible, and had the
gloomiest Calvinistic tenets. To that
unhappy view of the relation of the crea
ture to the Creator I have always ascribed
the misery of his life,” Ac., Ac. This is
certainly an interesting view of Lord
Byron's character, especially when Lady
Byron asserts in the same letter that Lord
Byron considered himself as predestinated
to bo lost, and that, for him. “every
blessing would be turned into a curse.
But our* readers will please pardon this
digression, and accept our hearty com
mendation of tlic handsome volume enti
tied “English Literature” by Richard
Malcolm Johnston and William Hand
Browne.

THE HOME OF THE DEAD.
EY JOHN W. FEKOFEOX.
Of n lit autiful city wo hear,
TliaJ reals uponhallowed gn iimj,
That silently grown wilh the year
In the midst of a stillness proiouud.
No shadows of sorrow there fall.
And envy and malice are sped,
And this beantilnl oily we call
The home of the slumbering dead.
From this beautiful city, we hear
The murmur and anthem-like flow
Of waters that breathe to the ear
A requiem, plaintive and low,
For those we shall meet never more
Till wc drift with the waters that spread
To 1 he calm and the azure-crowned shore,
From the lic-antiful heme of the dead.
From this beautiful city are seen.
When the moon is the regent of night,
The spectre boats plying between
To the haven of endless delight ;•
And on the bright margin we see
A Figure wilh garments of red,
That beckons from over the sea
To the beautiful home of the dead.
In this beautiful city we hear
That a stiiliness ever peivudes,
And evergreens garland the year
\V ith the deepest and richest of shades.
The peace of the blessed is there.
And the softest of skies overhead.
And the zephyrs are laden with prayer
In the beautiful home of the dead.
To this heautitul city we know
That the streams of the living are bound,
As rivers sweep on in their flow
Aud ale l't-l in the ocean around.
And adown in this city we see.
As it sleeps in its valley outspread,
A dwelling for you and for me
In the beautiful home of the dead.

LEE AND GRANT.
We intend to imply no disparagement
of Gen. Grant in thus coupling his name
with that of the Bayard of the South.—
We propose only to point a moral in re
latiug an incident, for the knowledge of
which we are indebted to Gen. \V. S.
Walker. In the General’s eloquent ad
dress, at the meeting, last Monday, of the
Southern Historical Society, he spoke as
follow s:
“At a theatrical entertainment not long
ago in New York, in which the “Rebellion”
prominently figured, Gen. Grant’s ap
pearance before the audience, the inevi
table cigar being the index to the hero's
identity, was applauded with a strength
of lungs powerfully suggestive of “Fed
eral” appreciation. Exit Gen. G. and
in the tall, dignified, grey-bearded gen
tleman. in Confederate uniform, General
Robert E. Lee, stands declared—to be
received with insult and execration ?—
No ! but with a shout from pit to dome
testifying to the more than strength of
lungs—the strength of that conviction
which is not less Northern than Southern
—that in Gen. Robt. E. Lee, rebellion or
no rebellion, the American people recog
nize the perfect type of manhood, sans
peiu et sans reproche."
Here is an instance of the truth of what
we have, on a former occasion, remarked,
that Gen. Lee needs no painstaking effort,
no importunate advocacy to assert and
maintain the honor of his name, the no
bility of his character; no rock need be
quarried to provide for bim a “memorial
of his past. The memory of Lee is en
graven on the hearts of Americans, and
thank God, is, we doubt not, moulding
the lives of many amongst us.
Wo have now in our midst an organi
zation whose honorable work it is to res
cue from oblivion and to stereotype into
perpetual fame the lives and deeds of
those Lees, Johnstons and Jacksons who
bore on their shoulders and raised to se
cure eminence the leaders in the great
struggle. Of the “privates” in the Con
federate army, the dead, the living, the
maimed, the suffering, the record has yet
to be written, and written it will be, when
the work, now progressing, of gathering
up the fragments—the story of suffering,
the tale of endurance, the brilliant achieve
ment—is foimd complete. God speed
this work, in the despondency of our peo
ple, too long delayed, but now hopefully
and actively begun.
From month to month in the journal
>f the Southern Historical Society we
hall read some of these fragments. In
he April number we shall see “Reports
if Longstreet’s Campaigns in Pennsyl
vania and Maryland, and Report of Gen.
)avis,” and in the succeeding number
;e are promised a most graphic and in
eresting account by a staff officer of the
ast fight of the war, and the general col-
apse : also, a report from General Hamp
on.
But enough. ■ Of Grant and the armies
lie led, Northern history will take care.—
Of Lee and his armies Southern history
is assuming the trust.—Constitutionalist.
“What are you blowing that horn for?”
was asked by a boy, Monday. “Cause
it’s Washington's birthday,” said the
urchin. “Washington! who’s Washing-
ion ?" persisted querist. “Don’t know,”
was the satisfied reply, “but it’s his
birthday, and I can blow a horn just as
much as I please.’’
Whatever the rest of us may Itave
thouglitabout them, the doctors who made
he post mortem examination of the
Siamese Twins announce in their report
vhat “they were Xiphopages of the class
of Terattanacatadidyma, called Omphc-
opliagus Xiphodidymus.” Of course, if
his is so, it would have killed them to
nave cut them apart when living.
Some one at the court has spoken dis-
mragingly (of course) of the hostile
Titicisms pronounced by Sir Charles
Jilke on the civil list. “It is strange,”
^ueen Victoria is said to have replied,
‘for I remember having him as a boy on
ny knee, and stroking liis hail - . * * * I
suppose, added her Majesty, after a
noment's pause, “I must have" stroked it
the wrong way.”
THE HANGING GARDENS
BABYLON.
Our pretty hanging-baskets, with their
suspension wires completely draped in
delicate climbing wires and standing moss
es. with then - masses of beautiful trailing
plants, their drooping grasses, vines, mi
mosas, musk-scented and covered with
brilliant golden flowers, though lilhputian
in size, arc literally hanging gardens. But
even should they be made a million times
larger, their plan is so utterly different
that they could never suggest the faintest
notion of the hanging gardens of Babylon
about the name of which there is a ring
of poetic grandeur aud a flavor of oriental
magnificence. They were literally para
discs or pleasure gardens. Xenophen men
tions those of Belesis, Governor of Syria:
and such as he beheld them, apparently,
we find them described by Chardin and
other modem travelers. The hanging
pardons of Babylon were simply a very
costly variety of the paradise, such as
only princely wealth could afford. Their
origin is attributed to Semiramis by some:
others say that they were invented by a
king of Syria, to charm the melancholy of
one of his wives, of Persian origin, who
sighed to behold again the verdant moun
tains of her native land. Strabo and
Diodorus Siculus have written about these
famous hanging gardens, Philo of Byzan
tium, and many others. They were called
hanging gardens, doubtless, because of the
huge branching palms and other, trees
over-hanging the balustrade on the sum
mit of the high walls that inclosed the
paradise. These walls were about one
hundred and thirty yards long on each of
the four sides, twenty-two feet thick, and
lift} - cubits high, or over ninety-one feet
according to the Hebrew cubit; by the
Roman or by the English cubit a little
less. Around the interior on all sides
rose terrace above terrace, to the number
of twenty, the top one resting on the out
er walls and even with the balustrade.
The to Traces were upheld by immensely
st rong galleries, whose ceilings were form
ed of hewn stones sixteen feet long and
four wide. Resting on the stones was a
layer of reeds, mixed with a great quanti
ty of asphalt, and on this was a double
floor or fire-dried bricks laid on mortar;
finally a floor of lead plates, to prevent
any moisture front penetrating the foun
dations of the terraces, the soil of which
rested directly on the leaden floor, and
was of sufficient depth to hold and nour
ish trees fifty feet high, and thousands of
rare plants, culled from all parts of the
known world. All these were kept in a
perennially flourishing condition, we are
informed, by water raised from the Eu
phrates, through the aid of machinery
concealed from view in ■ certain rooms
made in the galleries. Tho galleries also
contained many royal apartments, vari
ously decorated and furnished. Decently
lighted they could not have been; but we can
easily imagine that a walk around those
upper terraces on a fine moonlight night,
the senses charmed by soft music and by
waves of perfume rising from the wilder
ness of flowers and shrubs below, must
have been enchanting.—Marie Howlaml.

Detail" of Ilia Illness rrn.l Denih i
wilds nf Central Africa.
Special dispatch to the New York Herald ]
London, March 29.—The steamer Mol>
wa arrived off Suez at eleven o’clock Sat
unlay -night. Arthur Loing and Jacob
Woemvright -were on board, in charge of
tire remains of Dr. Livingstone.
Tlic following account is given of Liv
ingstone’s fatal illness and death: He
had been ill of chronic dysentery for some
months. He was well supplied with stores
and medicines; but lie had a presentiment
that the attack would prove fatal. At
first he was able to ride on a donkey, but
soon had to be earned. Arriving at
Mailala, beyond Lake Bemba, in the Bisa
country, lie said: “Build me a hut to die
in.” A hut was built by his followers.
The first of May he was confined to his
bed, and afterward suffered greatly,
groaning night and day. The third day
he said he was very cold, and requested
that more grass be put over the hut. Kit-
ambo, chief of Bisa, sent flour and beans,
and behaved well towards the party. The
fourth day Dr. Livingstone was insensi
ble, and died about midnight. Makadli-
pooa, it servarit was present. Dr. Liv
ingstonc made his last entry in his diaiy
April 27. He spoke much and sadly of
his home and family, when he was first
seized by the fatal attack. He told his
followers that he intended to exchange
everything for ivory to give them, and
then push on to Ujiji anil Zanzibar, and try
to reach England.
PRESERVING the remains.
The same day on which he died, his
followers consulted what to do. The Nas-
sick boys determined to preserve the re
mains. They were afraid to inform the
Chief of the deatli of the Doctor. They
secretly had his body m^ved to another
hut, and built a high fence around it to
insure privacy. Then they removed the
internal organs, placed them in a box,
and buried it inside the fence under a
large tree. Jacob Wocnwright put an
inscription on the tree thus: “Doctor
Livingstone, Died May 4, 1873.”
