ART, LITERARY, AND DRAMATIC GOSSIP.
[From English and othtr files.] Professor Gold win Smith has written a review of Lord Beaconefield's "Endymion," which contains this passage :—" This writer's ideal of life is always tbo same—gorgeous pakocs, gilded saloons, upholstery of ravish-' ing splendour, gold and silver plate, diamonds, pearls, and rabies by the peck, silks, satins, and velvets by the bale and of fabulous cost, footmen innumerable, with powdered beads Bi.d the largest canes, horses and equipages as fine as thoca in any circus, money without, limit, and everything regardless of expenso.lt is the day-dream of ffouodsdiroh." It, is stated that 10,000 copies of the Grown edition of Tennyßon's works have been sold within two years in England alone, besides what may havo been sold in more expensive form imd in other countries. This is a fact without a parallel in literature.
