LITERARY NOTES.
SiaJUs and Sensation* in France , Germany
and Switzerland. By Edward Gould
BubFum. Harper & Brothers, New
York.
Almost everybody travels now-a-days.
Certainly, out of four or live individuals
casually encountered, about three will con
verse familiarly of foreign parts, and peo
ple, of England, France and Italy, if not
of Africa and the Orient. It is fast be
coming a distinction for anybody to remain
at home. The order of things is being re
verted. One who has never lett his native
State will soon be regarded as somewhat of
a notoriety, one who has uever left his
county or town as a strange and wholly
exceptional celebrity.
And the major portion of those who
travel will unluckily write of what they
have seen and felt, not—bless your inno
cence, verdant reader—for the benefit of a
few personal friends, but for the enlighten
ment and delectation of the great public.
Hence, innumerable shelves groaning un
der the weight of “adventures” by land
and sea—the stupid egotisms of dreary
Jones, and drearier Jenkins, whose miracu
lous escapes from land slides, at one time,
or sharks at another—we learn savagely to
regret.
Nevertheless, we do occasionally meet
with sensible and amusing travelers, to
whom the art of narrative is not unknown.
Mr. E. G. Buffum is emphatically one of
them. Residing for years in some of the
prominent capitals of Western Europe, as
chief of a bureau of correspondence, Ills
opportunities for observation were un
usually great, and he has made admirable
use of therm The chapters in his little
book (a posthumous publication, we regret
to see,) the most worthy of notice, are those
relating to Paris, its people, and ways ;
ground often tilled by literary workmen,
yet quite capable, in clever hands, of yield
ing still large crops of entertainment and
instruction.
A series of very clear photographic pic
tures Mr. Buffum gives us of his Paris ex
periences. He commences with his resi
dence in the Quariier Latin. Then, for
five years, in utter disregard of the opinion
of “ Mrs. Grundy." he lived, free, unmolest
ed and unseen, in a third-story front. The
view from his window was charming. It
looked into an opposite room, filled with
pretty gritetles , who plied their needles all
day as busy as bees. Below them was an
industrious carpenter, who owned the most
unconquerable of gossips, in the shape of
an African parrot. As for Mr. B.’s apart
ment, it contained a cabinet de toilette , a
comfortable bed in an alcove, a sofa,
chairs, centre table, secretary, side table,
book-case and clock, with the cleanest of
oak floors, polished like a mirror—for all
which convenience, with a garcon's services
to boot, only fifty-five francs were paid per
month!
Meals were procured, as is usual with all
students, and litterateurs of the Quariier
Latin , at the neighboring restaurants.
Apropos of these establishments, we
learn that, in the aggregate, the Parisians
eat a great deal. They consume annually
seventy million pounds of meat, two mil
lions of dollars’ worth of sea-fish, five mil
lions of dollars’ worth of poultry aud game,
ten million eggs, and of vegetables and
snails an incalculable quantity.
Snails ! quo’tha? Beyond doubt, disgust
ed reader; and let ns assure you, upon Mr.
Buffum’s authority, well seconded by con
temporaneous evidence, that these slimy
moluscs, the tenants of mould and moss,
are regarded by the genuine French epi
cure with tenderest affection ! They have
long superceded, and consigned, in fact, to
disgraceful oblivion the traditional frogs!
And let us remember, before setting up
our barbarian outcries, that the snail is,
after all, a classical creature. Does nut
Puny the Elder introduce us to an ac
quaintance of his, Marcus Fulvius Hek
pinus, who cultivated the snail, as well as
a taste for him; and in whose commodious
Snailery, built upon mathematical princi
ples, his slippery pets were fattened upon
boiled barley and served with spiced
wines ? And in the time of this same Pi-i-
NY, snails imported from Capri, Sicily, and
the Balearic Islands, were as much appre
ciated at Rome as “ Blue Point ” and “ East
River” oysters are relished in Philadel
phia and New York.
The snails devoured in France come chief
ly from Burgundy, Champagne and
Franche Comte. They are gathered from
grape viues, and sold in the Paris market
for 12 sous a hundred. As for the style of
preparing them, they are first boiled in the
shell, which is then stopped up wi Ih a bat
ter made of eggs, butter, herbs and pepper;
after this, the animal is drawn out and eat
en, batter and all. To an uncultivated
taste, their flavor is not delicious, being,
Mr. Buffum declares, “a cross between
that of a clam and a cockroach,” though
how this gentleman could have learned the
flavor of “cockroaches” we cannot im
agine. The Burgundy snail, called by the
learned the “ Helix pomatia,” and by the
vulgar “ the Burgundy oyster,” is about
two inches in length, and remarkably suc
culent. At Marseilles, they can boast of a
pretty little snail, with a bright yellow
shell, crossed by bands of brown (the “ He
lix pisana”), which is highly esteemed.
Amateurs make it a rule to begin with this
bright little fellow, who, because of his
tiny size, and generally rather tempting ap
pearance, can be swallowed in a twinkling
and without any painful qualm.
From snails we pass to a very different
subject—the Paris Catacombs. Concern
ing these our author has epitomized much
valuable information. They were made at
least a thousand years ago, for the pur
pose of obtaining stone to build the houses
of the capital. In 1784, alarmed by several
sinkings of the earth, a company of
engineers directed such works as were
needful for the safety of the streets alone,
while the Council of State caused the vast
Cemetery tff the Innocents to be cleared,
and the remains found therein to be de
posited in the subterranean quarries. This
was done, at first, in a careless, pell-mell
fashion, but about 1808 a regular system of
arrangement was inaugurated. The cham
bers and avenues below were ventilated aud
carefully strengthened. What are de
signated as the catacombs proper contain
the dead of countless centuries, formed into
a wall of bones and skulls, ten feet high.
This wall is built of the thigh and shin
bones, and three rows of skulls, a construc
tion maintained throughout the entire
mass, which stretches, a ghastly monument
of mortal nothingness, for the distance of
three miles. Apposite inscriptions are set
into th • wall at the distance of everv few
feet. For example, “la mort nous confondes
tout tout un meme niveau; la distance det
fanges se perd dans le timbeau."
Or again: “ Jleureux celui qui a ioujours
devant set yeux Vheure de sa mort."
From the tombs, it is not a very long
step to the dilapidated society of the Chif
fonniers. Its members, although innocent
ot patchouli and cologne, are often tolerably
clean, and always a proud and independent
set. Absurd words, you may think, ap
plied to the pickers of rags aud offal. Yet
not so. The Chiffonniers are au organ
ized body, with a license from Government,
for which a certain sum is paid. More
over, the trade not unfrequently, descends
in families, who arrogate to themselves an
odd sort of aristocracy, and are as proud
as any Spanish beggar of the fact that
none of their strain have, during many
generations, been obliged “to work for a
living!” The .(ihief articles gathered by
the Chiffonniers are as follows: old paper,
dirty and torn, four francs the hundred
pounds; sack aud packing cloth, four
francs the hundred ; linen rags, dirty, ten
francs; linen rags, cleaner, thirteen francs;
linen rags, perfectly whole and clean,
twenty-two francs. Woolen rags, bones,
old leather, broken glass, and old iron are
classified apart; while corks are usually
exchanged at the wine shops for drink.
In Paris altogether, there are 400 Cbif
fotmiers, of whom 270 are males, and the
remaining 130 females. Now and then,
the habitue of the Boulevards will recog
nize among them the poor ghost of some
once famous ornament of the demi-monde ,
or perhaps, a true scion of aristocracy, re
duced by dissipation and crime to the level
of these strange Bohemians of the pave
and the gutter."* It is said that even now
the son of a former marquis and great
celebrity, has been forced to support him
self by this nightly searching of garbage,
brought to so lamentable a pass by his own
sins and follies.
But we have not the leisure to go farther
into Mr. Buffum’s book; It is exception
ally cleaver, well written and entertaining.
Among the recent belles letters publica
tions of the Harpers, we note with special
pleasure, anew, and most convenient edi
tion of lhackeray's Works; beautifully
printed, and with the author’s own illus'ra
tions. Os these, “ Vanity Fair," “ The New
comes,” “ The Virginians,” and “ Philip’s
Adventures,” have already appeared, and
the entire set, we understand, will be ready
during the Autumn, or the early Winter.
It can be procured upon unusually mod
erate terms.
The same publishers, (the Harpers), have
added to their series of parlor novels the
“ Stretton" of Mr. Henry Kingsley, aud
the “ Cord and Creese ,” by Jas, De Milne.
The former writer is certainly a man of
talents, but the talents not judiciously em
ployed. His first tale, “ Geoffrey Hamlin,”
issued ten years ago, is one of the most
natural, manly, straightforward, and inte
resting stories of the class we ever read,
but “The Bartons,” “Hetty,” aud this
latest performance, “ Stretton,” arc written
in a strangely different style, a style hard
to describe, and oniy to be approximatively
portrayed as a compound of Carlylism and
Chae. Jleadeism, with all the appearance of
a gross affection. And yet, the character
ization—especially in “Stretton"— is more
than fairly done, and despite the obscuri
ties and eccentricities of manner, we can
not fail to recognize a breezy, healthful,
moral tone, which is to be commended
highly.
Os “ Cord and Creese ,” we can ouly re
mark that its author manages to throw
even Wilkie Collins and Reade into the
shade as a concoctcr of weird situations,
melo-dramatie surprises, and utterly uu
heard of catastrophes, occurring under
every conceivable combination of abnor
mal circumstances, and in every quarter of
the known and unknown, the habitable
and unhabitable globe. Anybody laboring
under a listless, depressed condition of
mind or body, aud desirous of being ex
cited, amazed, puzzled and “ stirred up ”
generally, could hardly do better than pro
cure at once Mr. De Milne’s extraordinary
tale. It is a curiosity, and, as they say in
Dacotah of a very large bear, a router !
Report on the Condition of the Crops.
The Department of Agriculture furnishes
a summary of the crop reports. A state
ment is given, showing the mean tempera
ture and rainfall of the several States for
July amt August, as contrasted with those
months last year. The region most subject
to drought—that west of the Mississippi
and Missouri —has had the most regular
supply of rain, and the valley of the former
has had an abundant rainfall to its mouth,
while Alabama and Georgia have suffered
from drought, and the Atlantic States in a
still higher degree, not only throughout the
tide-water region, but in a large portion of
the Eastern States.
On the Southern Atlantic seaboard, the
heat has been greater this year than in 1868,
and the rainfall less. North and east of
New York the heat has been less, as also
the rainfall. In the one case it was too
hot, in the other too coll for corn and
other Summer crops, which suffered ac
cordingly. While the drought hasprevail
ed east of the Alleghanies, the great Mis
sissippi basiu has had au unusual amount of
rain. West Virginia and Ohio, alone, of the
central area, had less rainfall in August
than in 1868.
The excessive moisture of the Summer is
sustained to its close, especially in Wiscon
sin, Minnesota, lowa, Nebraska, Kansas
and Missouri. Both the early and the lat
ter raius have been somewhat extraordi
nary west of the Missouri, yet the high
temperature and deep thirsty soils of that
region have converted the visitation into a
blessing. The drought of the seaboard has
uot been equaled in many years. The
comparisom between this year and last
shows that New Eugland has had but one
third as much rain in August of the pres
ent year; New York a little more than one
half ; New Jersey scarcely onc-eighth;
Pennsylvania one-sixth, and Maryland
one-ninth. The extracts from correspond
ence will show the injurious effects oi this
excessive drought on corn, cotton and gar
den vegetables.
Corn. —The com crop has been the prey
of numerous ills in every section of the
country. The only States that show an
average condition are Nebraska, Florida,
Louisiaua, Texas aud Arkansas. Excessive
rains retarded planting, and necessitated
replanting in the Spring, throughout the
West and South. Cold, wet weather pre
vented healthy, vigorous.growth in almost
every State, and in the season of earing
and maturing, and a serious drought affect
ed it ou the Atlantic coast, with iujurious
heat in the South, and unfavorable redac
tion of temperature in the North. Deep
soils, naturally drained, the extreme mois
ture of the West did no injury.
In heavy or flat lands, with clay subsoil,
the damage was great; in some cases re
sulting in total failure. The loss as shown
in the table is 49 per cent, in Virginia;
from 30 to 40 in Maine, Vermont, Mary
hind, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ten
nessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Michigan and
Wisconsin ; from 20 to 30 in New Hamp
shire, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey.
Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Ohio, lowa,
aud Minnesota; from 10 to 20 In Massa
chusetts aud Pennsylvania, and 1 to 10 per
cent, in Rhode Island, Alabama, Mississip
pi, Missouri and California. Unless the
close of the seasou is very favorable, there
must be 250,000,000 bushels less than a full
crop.
Cotton. —There will be a reduction in
the yield of cotton from the Carollnas to
Alabama, and a material increase from
Mississippi to Texas. Georgia, Florida
and South Carolina have suffered most,
mainly from drought, in a few localities
from rust, the caterpillar and boll worm.
Our estimates make the increase in Missis
sippi, Louisiana and Texas, respectively,
10,12 and 14 per cent. The probabilities
at preteut favor a yield of 2,750,000 bales.
■ Wheat. —This crop, as a whole, is large.
The only States showing a decrease are
Illinois, Michigan, lowa and California.—
Some of it is inferior in quality, and a con
siderable portion has been injured by rains
after harvest; but, a considerable portion
of the Western wheat is of good quality,
and that of the South decidedly superior.
Fruits— As a rule, have yielded abund
antly ; apples iu a less degree .than other
species. New York, Pennsylvania, West
Virginia, Michigan aud Illinois—all apple
regions—have merely a full supply. Iu
New England there is a material reduc
tion.
Stock Hogs.— There is not only a reduc
tion iu the number of stock hogs, but "also
in the condition. Missouri, Kausas, Ne
braska and Minnesota, rapidly growing
States, have made-au increase iu numbers,
as have some of the Southern States. There
is apparently a decrease, as compared with
last year, of five to ten per cent.
