Number 1711 is a bird in borrowed plumage, and men of his stripe have no place in an honest and industrious community. Literary matter is as much property as are the tools of trade. A man who would calmly appropriate page after page of Defoe would steal a sectional “ jimmie” in the very busiest part of the summer season. It is not the intention of the ed- itor to be unduly severe with num- ber 1821, who sent to us that charm- ing poem entitled“ Higiland Mary It was superfluous for him to inclose with ita line to the effect that he had dashed it off in a hurry. Number 1821 is said to have been at one time interested in the industry of prevent- ing boarding-house hat-racks from being over-burdened.

All warnings to these persons seem to have had no effect, and the editor hereby serves notice that from this date he will not permit the Palladium to be used as a literary fence. He has fre quently expressed a determination to hold such practices up to scorn, and since the last lot of manuscript has = Gus-pInRS & It seems to the writer that it would be well if some of these gentlemen would employ part- ners familiar with the lay of the land of letters. Without a fair acquaintance with the habits of the literary world one cannot ap- propriate its riches with much facility unless he is connected with the business of making after dinner speeches.
