against 14 for M.Coppée.M.Edmond About is the most thoroughly French among all French novelists, the most biting of French pamphleteers, the most unlucky of dramatic authors, tbe most restlsss of editors, and in politics one of the most disappointed men in France.Bjrn in Lorraine, at an early age be was sent to a seminary in his native province.Next he entered the Lycée Charlemagne in Paris, where, in 1848, he carried off tin grand prize for a Latip essay.On entering the Ecole Normale two years later he was a determined Republican.His studies were concluded at the French school in Athens.At twenty-five he was an accomplished scholar, teeming with wit, malice and scepticism.Hli WORKS.^Hia first book, \u201cLa Grèce Contemporaine,\u201d j was an immediate snccess, but on account

aided by Contingents from London and Marseille?, visited the theatre and hissed the play for two nights, after which it was withdrawn.He next wrote for the Figaro under the non: de plume of Valentin

trading in wheat active.The feeling was bullish roost of the session.At evening the wheat market was easier at a decline, later it ruled strong, advanced under a good demand, eased off a trifle, and closed about £ higher than yesterday.Flour was dull and unchanged.Mr.Hughes commenced by pointing out that as soou as they had got the water into the house by means of the pump described in his last lecture they had to set to work and get it out again, os soon as it had answered the purpose for which it wag required, by means of drains or sewers.If it was remembered that sewers were not drains it would be a great step in adv&uce.The purposes were not the same, drains were to carry off the moisture from the land, sewers were pipes used to carry off the fluid waste caused by tbe free rise of water in cities.Sanitary science was comparatively a new thing, hut the ruins of ancient cities showed that it was an early discovery, that as soon as men began to live together \u201cthe greatest enemy of man\u2019s health and comfort was man himsstf.\u201d In Jerusalem,Rome and many o.her ancient cities sewers had been found.The efforts that w-ere made were, perhaps, not as extensive as they now were.The question of domestic sewage was, however, the most important to all, as to but few men were intrusted the planning of the sewage of cities.The moat ancient, material was leaden pipss, and to within the last few months the best authorities regarded it as by far the best.Its liability to be injured by rats and nails was a serious drawback.If the material used was heavy it might be safe enough, but he considered that the lead pipe now used in the city was far too light and untrustworthy A good heavy iron pipe of not less than one quarter of au inch in thickness, cased outside or in, or enamelled on the inside was the best material.These pipes should be laid with the greatest fall that it is possible to give them, and they should never be buried-but be placed where they can be easily got at.The gas arising from a sewer, it must always be remembered, was a deadly poison, and if healvu was to be retained it mast be prevented from entering the dwelling.Good work must, therefore, be done under all circumstances, aud the plumbers should educate themselves and the publio that the sewerage of a house should be done in the best possible manner, and no money should be saved on it.The iron pipe should be carried at least two yards from the house and run full size through the roof, where it should be covered with an open wire grating, a cap not being advisible.Mr.Hughes then went on to speak of joints, and more particularly of traps.In no ease should any trap be put in without being pro vided with an open air vent.If it was, not only would syphonage occur,Jbut, as could be proved, water was not impervious to gases, and the water seal could be penetrated.This was shown by a chemical experiment.It was also shown that water falling down the main dr&R.pipe would cause a vacuum and draw off the water from the traps.The flow of water from an upper fixture would also have the bame effect.This was proved conclusively by a most elaborate apparatus.The ouly thing that bad so far saved them was that in Montreal the water supply wm so large and effective.As a general rule he considered that the pipe used was too large and could not be flushed.Four or even three-inch pipe was generally large enough.The result of sanitary measures was not at all a doubtful one.In the town of Bauboro\u2019 the death rate before the introduction of ¦ewers was 23.4.It fell, after the work was completed, to 20.5, a decrease of 12f percent.Typhus fever wm reduced by 40 percent, and consumption 40 per cent.In Croydon, a town of 30,000, the death rate formerly wm \u201823 per cent ; it fell to 18 per cent., a decrease of 22 per cent ; typhus fever wm reduced 73 per cent, and coosumption 17 per cent, and this with by no means perfect systems.While he fully believed that the health officers were very painstaking aod careful, they were still, in his opinion, working upon a false system.Instead of looking up the isolated cases they should take up a ward or a district, and first look after the city sewers and then make a house to house inspection ; they would then get a certain result from a certain amount of work.The sewer gas would, he thought, give but little trouble if tbe end of every soil pipe wm extended through the roof.The present system of ventilating the sewers by open gratings wm both inoperative and unhealthy.No man would cat rotten food or drink putrid water, aud if he did he would expect to be made ill by doing so.How much more careful, then, should all be with regard to the air they breathed, for, though the amount of food aud water consumed wm very small, every twenty-four hours a man would breathe from one to two thousand gal Ions of air.It wm announced by the chairman that the next lecture would be delivered on the 14th of h ebruary upon, \u201cThe water-pipe system in dwellings, hot water circulation, water backs, boilers, explosions, etc.\u2019\u2019\u2014 Witness.Portland Cement, Fire Clay,

and the fear of seeming prigg^h checks it m it rises to our Ups.The name matters little, however, for the idea is excellent, and the thing is still bettor.I shall not go so far as to say of Mr.Arnold that he invented it ; but he made it more definite than it had been \u2022 befoie\u2014he vivified and lighted it up.We like to-day to see principles aod convictions embodied in persons, represented by a certain literary or political face.There are so many abroad, all appealing to us and pressing towards us, that these salient incarnations help us to discriminate and save us much confusion.,lt is Mr.Arnold, therefore, that we think of when we figure to ourselves the best knowledge of what is being done in the world, the best ap preciation of literature and life.It is in America especially that ho will have had the responsibility of appearing m the cultivated man\u2014it is in this capacity that he will have baon attentively listened to.The curiosity with regard to culture is extreme in that country ; if there is in some quarters a considerable uncertainty m to what it may consist of, there is everywhere a great wish to get hold of it, at least on trial.\u2014J/enry James in The English

If I have dwelt, rather long on the legal dis-a i'ratage* authors and publishers labour under in Canada, it is because the subject is a great one, and may excuse a little iteration u such there be in its treatment in this paper, which I might have shortened if I had had mare time to bestow upon it.But I wish to p «sent thinys more than phrases, to the Koyal Society, on a subject of such interest to Hz all, a* literary men holuing a nap insible p tuition in this Dominion.Having then laid bare the subject *nd diag-n >4eJ our sick literature, we find tbit the n.alady is a chronic one arising : l«t.Fromtbeoperation of the Imperial copy-r:gat act ot 1S42 which restricts the publish-is a of British copyrignt books to the united kingdom.2ad.Totheimportatioa of American reprints o: British copyright works into Canada on p vymeut of our ordinary duty on books, and i p.c.extra for the benedt of the British o*aer of the copyright.3rd.The right now conceded to American authors of copyright without printing in Bri-tain, provided only that prat publication, be it Oily by a day, obtains there.This debars Cuuadian publishers\u2014if so disposed\u2014from r-printing an American as much as a British work, giving American copyright in Canada whicn is wholly unreciprocated in the United States This last move of ^copyrighting in England, American printed books, has lately led to a remarkable agitation among English publishers aud critics, which I hope will open\u2014not their eyes only -bat their principles to the necessity of freeing Canada from the Imperial copyrignt act, and thus obtain a lever that will clear the way to fall international copyright in America.Canada by the onreetrain-e 1 operation of her Dominion copyright law could soon force reciprocity for the British anchor in the United States, where his own t If >rts have hitherto failed to obtain it.4th.And lastly the new practice of British authors of selling the Canadian market to American publishers, and lending the use of their names in suits at law brought under the British Copyright Act.against any Canadian publisher who should do what the American publisher himself was doing\u2014reprint an unauthorized copy of British books, even though willing to pay a fair royalty for so doing.The^vil is a great and growing one, and calls urgently for a remedy for the suffering book publishers and authors of our Dominion.The remedy is simple and obvious.Our Government, as a matter of the soundest policy and common justice to ourselves, should open negotiations with the Imperial Government for the modification of the British Copy-rijut Act, as regards Canada, with the offer or perfect copyright secured to British authors on printing and registering herewith the mutual privilege to Canadians of full copyright in Britain.A reciprocal arrangement of that kind would, I am confident, bo vastly to the benefit of both of ns.British authors would no longer see Canada supplied with American reprints of their works.By printing and registering here they would obtain real copyright in Canada, and be able to free themselves also in some degree from a sole dépendance en the London publishers.Such a measure would probably result in the opening of the English book trade to Canadian manufactured books of British authors, w ho choose to take out copyright in Canada.At nay rate, it would secure for them the Canadian market, now almoet wholly supplied with American reprints, which are sold here w ithout the slightest benefit to the author, except in the case of a sale of the Canadian maraet.The American publisher would no longer have it in bis power to tie ns up, hands and feet, with cords drawn from the English Copy-r 'at Act.He would have to reciprocate in copyrights, else he would find no standing place in Canada.He would not then have the power of slaughtering the Canadian book industry, which would be reetored to us, or created anew I might say, and Canada instead ofbéing ground between the two mill stones would occupy an honorable place be-t -.een England aud the United States, doing g od to both and from both receiving the od-v .otages which are our due.Che Royal Commission on Copyright which sat in England five or six years ago rs-co amended what they called \u201ca licensing syjtera,\u201d for reprinting English copyright works in the colonies.That licensing system is very similar to the plan here recommended.Had it been adopted as an amend-n.«at to thq Imperial Act it would have Çven us nesriy what we require in Cauads.j he report of the Commission is so far important, however, that it recognizes the principle contended for here.The eminent English authors aud j arista who sat on the Commission acknowledged the policy aud justice of relaxing the Imperial statute as regards the colonies, and this affords a fair ground of hope that if the Canadian Government will take up the question it will succeed in placing the printing and publishing industries of Canada on a bMia of enlarged and permanent prosperity.I cannot close this paper better than by quoting a few paragraphs from the able lecture of Mr.Dawson before referred to.Mr.Dawson proposes a plan which, while saving all the interests of the English anthors, would enable Canadian printers and publishers to build up among ns a great publishing industry w.th all the advantages that would follow to Canadian authors.The plan proposed by Mr.Dawson is one which if it were offered by the publishers of the United States to British authors would be accepted by them with avidity, and I think would not be unacceptable were it oflered by Canada.VVhile it is not intended to deprive any British writer of the right to make what contracts he pleases with a Canadian publisher for the printing of his works here, Mr.Dawson recommends that id the case of British authors who do not register their works and reprint in Canada within a fixed time, it shall be lawful for any Canadian publisher to reprint such works under such conditions and regulations, supervised by Government officers, as will secure to the British author a full and certain royalty of ten per cent on the retail price of every one of his books reprinted in Canada.The plan suggested by Mr.Dawson is practicable and equitable.Thus instead of supplying our book market with American pirated reprints which return no benefit whatever to the author ; it is proposed in the case of British anthors not taking out copyright hare, that Canadian publishers be allowed to republish English copyright works under special license from our Government on the deposit of the royalty with our Government for the benefit of the English anthor, thus securing to him the fair profit on the issue of his works in Canada.The practical solation of the copyright question in Canada offered by Mr.Dawson clears away almost every objection.English and American authors would be fairly protected Here ,but they would no longer be able, by law and quibbles oo law, to sell our market to the publishers of the States and prevent the growth of a large and profitable publishing industry in Canada on a par with all the other expanding industries of our Dominion.And lastly by the establishing of thriving publishing booses in Canada, Canadian au-mors would at length see a fair opening to the career of literature\u2014our country would be as conspicuous for the mental products of genius ana learning, as it is for the material products of its fields, forests and fisheries.I am of opinion that notning short of a na tional policy in literature wül suffice to restore to the publishing trade of Canada, and with it, the revival otour magazines and the restoration of Canadian authorship.Our people, as was said, are a reading oom munity.Books they must and will have the newest as well as ths best and cheapest.Canada in order to keep wisely the treasures she is winning so industriously\u2014in order to Sreserve our Dominion from undue foreign in-ueocea -and foreign ideas\u2014must cultivate her own literature\u2014take pride in her own writers, (her own poets, historians, novelists aud philosophers.None but a Canadian ever will or can write the true history of this country.American and English historians, each borrowing from tte other exclusively, seem totally blind to the northern lights playing up here.Leeky, the latest and tbe best wteutioned of English writers treating of America, does not seem to have had more than a half glimpse of the part played by toe great men ybo settled Canada, and laid the foundation of our Dominion \u2014none at ail of the principles which actuated them, or the kiud of men they were.A remark of Lord Durham was quoted in our Parliament last session, to the effect that \" Canada had no history.\u201d It showed that even that eminent man had bat a superficial knowledge of os, bat nntil we write oar hutory worthily as it deserves, we cannot blame the world for overlooking the fact, that the history of Canada, English and French, is unsurpassed in interest and grandeur on this continent.Canada no history 1 Why the coontry is full of hiatcry and heroic achievement 1 We find no fault with American writers who never weary of celebrating in prone and verse the arrival in New England, two and a half centuries ago, of a few nundred comfortable though discontented Pilgrims and Puritans, who came leisurely with their families, goods and chattels, ana all their wealth, safe under the protection of charters granted by their Sovereign.How much is made of that settlement of New England ! Yet, what was that as a moral and historical event compared with the exile of over a hundred thousand American loyalists just one century ago?Of men who had fought through the seven years of war to prevent the dismemberment of the Empire.Who rather than abandon their loyal and constitutional principles endured the confiscation of every acre oi land, of every dollar and dollar\u2019s worth of property which they bad accumulated by years and generations of honest industry\u2014of everything in short they possessed in the world except their honour and courage\u2014and who, like the exiled Huguenots of a century before them, were scattered abroad to found new dominions or invigorate old ones in various parts of the world.The settlement of Upper Canada, New Brunswick, aad Nova Scotia\u2014the centennial anniversary of which great Canadian event a ill this very year be celebrated\u2014has a history of tbe deepest interest.It is one of the finest chapters of hnmanity.Those U.E.Loyalists nave a history, noble aa any one in tbe world.The richest materials for history in all America are heaped op in those facts sod the records of them stored away in our public archives.If, as has been said, \u201cGod sifted a whole nation to send c/totce grain over to America\u201d \u2014that is, the Pilgrims and Puritans\u2014it may uo less truly be said, that He sifted America afresh to send his choicest grain here in the loyal aud patriotic men who settled British America\u2014men whose high, unselfish principles of obedience to the highest law have fixed our national character and given the tone and colour it has to Canadian society.The life of man is in blood and the life of a people is no less in the principles religious and political that sway them.From these noble progenitors the Canadian people have inherited these sentiments, traditions and principles which distinguish us on tais continent.The full record of our Canadian history has yet to be undertaken.We have many fragmentary and some clever episodes of it, which deserve far more attention than they have received, but nothing as yet quite worthy of the subject.The late venerable Dr.Ryerson had a just idea of Canadian history.But he commenced to write in the decline of his years and powers.The two large volumes he published only lead us into the vestibule of the temple, which grows aud grows the more steadfastly we look at it.Our numerous clever men and women, for let me do eepecial honour to so many Canadian ladies who in spite of all discouragements have kept the fire of literature burning among us.I say our clever men and women are waiting impatiently for the restoration of literary work in Canada by a due aud needful encouragement of our publishing industries, and look to our statesmen of all sides for help aud counsel and action, by entering into negotiations with the Imperial Government for a modification of the copyright law aud auch legislation here as will give Canadian authors and publishers a fair field.We want no favour, we simply desire to be placed upon an eqnal footing with oar literary compeers of Great Britain and the United States.When that is done we shall see what forces are at work among us.Repressed aa our literary endeavours have been they have by delay gathered strength and coherence.When their time of fiourishing does come we shall seeCanada wreathed with coble chaplets ot tbe literature of her own history, poetry, science and philosophy, lacking which she is in this breathing world but \u201chalf made up.\u201d Without literature a country appears, as Bacon says, \u201clike the statue of Polyphemus without its eye, the part that best shows the sap and spirit of a person.\u201d I now conclude here, not because this subject is exhausted, for it is of endless development, but because I hope I have suggested enough to recommend to the careful consideration of the Royal Society the condition and prospecte of literature among us as connected with publishers and copyright.After the reading of the above paper a discussion took place and a committee was named to report at the next meeting of the Society upon the subject of copyright with a view to petitioning tor legislative action.Literary Notee.THE BRKAD WIKNEB8.The Messrs.Harper k Bros., of New York, have just published in neat form, the famous story of real life entitled \u201cThe Bread Winners,\u201d which was completed in a recent number of the Century Magazine.The authorship is anonymous.The story is one of the moat powerfully written pieces of fiction which has thus far been issued from the American press.It is intensely dramatic, philosophic in a sense, and strong in character-drawing.Some points in the story we do not like.The anthor has allowed himself to drift into the sensational at times, and this tendency, in a measure, has injured the unity and beauty of the narrative as a whole, but the old novel reader may not be disposed to quarrel with him on that account.There is an air of truth about the \u201cBread Winners\u201d which makes it heartily enjoyable.The style is excellent, and the mo/»/* is often brilliant.Altogether, it is a remarkable story, familiarizing the reader with certain aspects of low life, and giving him an insight into a way ot living qnite new in works of fiction, but realistic, we may be sure.The story reads like an experience in the life of some one.It is worth reading, and as a study of character it is deeply intereating end valuable.Copies may be had through the Daw* eon\u2019s.Time u
