TliW in n narrative jwfn in four wliort books,
fey nn Fn):liKh gentleman who linn obtained nomo
rcpiitiition in his owu country as a writer of,
frrmefal w.thv.h. The hulk of it is in blunk vernc,
intorHiicrned with lyrics which are siiKKCstcd by
tho theme. The story relate how n yountf man
of hih title loves tin humble ninidcn, marries
her in opposition to the wMies of his family, nnd
Utke.s her to reHlde in Italy. Durinir the absence
t the hunbnrid from home for a few days, tho
wife is lurid on hoard of a yacht by ft French
duke, who is notorious lor his pro!li;acy, and is
forcibly carried to Corsica and imprisoned in the
HHtle of the abductor. The husband follow,
mid, with the assistance of a ('orsican servant of
the duke, h-' finds n opportunity to obtain
m cess to his wife's place; ol confinement. While
waitiiiK for nn opportunity to enter the castle,
however, he meets the libertine in a lonely spot,
i.iui the. two men enirajre in a death kixii'o,
which results in the duke bcintc hurled down a
precipice. The husband then secures his wife
iiiiri carries her on board of a felucca, but before
reiichinj; their home she dies of a broken heart,
nnd the husband becomes insane.
Mr. Noel's blank vere cannot l e considered
pood, whether judged by the standard of Milton
or Tennyson, both of whom he has, perhaps
imconhi iously, imitated. It is full ol violeut
inversions, and at sinir-s it. is dillieult to deci
pher the real meaning. The story, however, is
well told, and some passage show a real power,
which, however, is often obscured by that tlilit
tanti style tint Tennyson has done so much to
introduce, and which, although' admirable in its
way in the hands of the master, is anything but
pleus'iui: when attempted by his imitators.
"I-.eatncc" i- a clever work by a gentleman of
refinement and culture, but it will not take any
very high rank iimoiur, the poetry of the day.
Of n much higher ;rmle tlian the above is
(Iv.orgc Flint's new poem, "How Lisa loved the
K'ng," which we have received from Turner
lirothcrs fc Co. Tho "1 lecameron" i-, tin ine
h.iustiblc storehouse of subjects for the poets
jind dramatists, and these, wonderful old Italian
lait't, like the classic fables of Greece, appear to
be pftcd with perennial youth, and to fjlow
with a fre'h sjraee .and beauty under whatever
shape they arc revived. (ieore Eliot has
plucked one of Boccaccio's '"white lilies,'' and
nhe has reproduced one of the must graceful
Htorief of the naunlity but (kiiirhtful old Italian
in stroii-:. harnioniou. but delicate and tender
ytifC, which u'ive- it ;:D additional charm.
Ccore Eliot is never a eopyist. and her verse is
iif fine in fibre, and a emphatically her own, as
is the elr. p.ient prosy whh It is. and always will
te, a delight to those who appreciate the ulori
oub eap vbil'tics of the English lunsruaire. (ieorj;e
Eliot, follows Boc.eaecio literally in the lulling of
the story, aril a-j a specimen ol her treatment of
the subject, we quote the lollowin:; passajre, de
scrijitive of the Intvrview I et'.veei; the Kin ami
Lisa:
''Tlie kini :ii-i d: ' Tut re d-h to all of u.
The world -himld lu-c n maid s beauteous:
Let Tie now ' her; since 1 am I.er rii L'e lord,

strong word.'
In Riah haU-serii'iiiS pl.t yfulnc--. ho, wend-.

Nor be too ri i-klcss ol iliat, lite, eniii iiieil
'J'o us who know your pas-'m woittiin-s.

'"J'iioso word-, tliat touch upon her hand trout
him
Whom her soul worshipped, as l'4r seraphim

tuivcrini:' upon her cheek, yet tlir'Unl liertr..ui"
Witli such deep joy she seemed in paiadi-e.
In wondering uladness, and in dumb surprise.
That bliss comd be so blissiitl. Then sic- spoke:
'Sikiior, I was too Weak lo ln-.ir the vokc.

That was the ground of my iiilirmity.

Tliat I shall mmiii be v.cl!, nor any more cau-e

"The kili' alone htk ;he overt sense

message ol her passionate distri-s-,
lo staid beside ln;r tor a little while.
With gentle looks and speech, until a smile
As placid us a ray of early morn
On opening llowcr-cups o'er her lips was home.
When ho had left her, and the tidings i-preud
Through all the town, how he had vis'ucil
The Tuscan trader's daughter, who was siek,
Aien said it was a roval deed, and catholic.
"And Lisa? Hie no longer wished for dea'.!i:
Tiut a poe t, w ho sweet ver-e- Sa'uh
Within his soul, and i'y in inu-ie there,
Nor seeks another heaven, nor can bear
D'uttirbing plca-ure-, so was she content.
Breathing the life ol grMelul sentiment.
Hie thought no maid betrothed could be more
blest;
For treasure must bu valued by the iet,
Ol highest excellence and rarity,
And her dear joy was best an bit, could he:
There seemed uo other crown to her delight.
Now the high loved one saw her lovo aright.
Thus her soul thriving on that c.vpiiskc 'mood.
Spread like the May-time all it-, beauteous good
O'er the soft bloom ol neck and amis and cheek.
And bireugthei.ed the sick body, once so we tk,
Until she rose and walked, and. like a bird
With sweetly rippling throat, she made her
spring joys heard."
As a paraphrase of BoeCae.jio this poem is, per
haps, not equal to the efforts in the same line of
Keats, Longfellow or Swinburne, hut it falls but
little short of them, and it isa work that the
loverR of poetry can allord to ka( p l,y Uieui tor
repeated perusal.

The New York Alhion, the recognized organ
of British opinion in the United 8tatcs, has re
cently paused into the hands of Mr. Kinahan
Cornwall!, as proprietor and editor, and under
its new management still maintains its high tone
and excellence, both us a newspaper and literary
journal. The very large English element of the
population of this country look to tho weekly
visits of the Alhion as to returns to the mother
country, finding in its columns the gist of home
news and gossip which loses none id' its Interest
by the interposition id the ocean. Editorially
the Albion is temperate and candid, and its
opinion on any international subject is entitled
to and receives great weight among our thinking
classes. The Albion is published at No. .'!:) Park
Kow, New York city, at ti per annum, with
very liberal Inducements' for the formation of

To the Ladies ! Philadelphia: -The uiidcr
s'reued begs to aiiiioioice that she has been ap
pointed by the r.Mvuiivc Committee of the
Board id IMrector- to prosecute the raising of
an auxiliary, contingent, and endowment lund
for the National Orphans' Ilome-tead ut Gettys
burg. Appeal is made to the loyal ladies of
Philadelphia, as ainoi.g the first and most con
stant, the most, sympathetic and untiringly ac
tive, through all the years of the past perilous
struggle. To these appeal is made, and to pa
triotic. Christian women generally, whom the
soldier pronounced blessed, alike in the com
fortless camp, upon the. long march, in the
lulling fury of the battle, in the cruel prison, and
or the couch of ilro'h.
The appeal corner to you now from that sol
dier's poor, pitiful orphan child more tender,
more touching in it- tones, with a pathos nil its
own. Heeding the appeal, humanity is made to
smile through her tearful tenderness. Patriot
ism is made sure ol aid in the onward inarch, or
of meeting suceessiu'ly the hourot further peril;
while the all-saving (iospel will trust its holy
mist-ion to no keeping with greater conlidence
than to the patriot, martyr's consecrated child.
A response to the appeal is asked at this time
in an ottering all e.n: make, and no one particu
larly feci tho o'fciv '. individually, ot one dol
lar or upwards. Tl.i- corning within the power
of each to bestow, while carefully and inexpen
sively collected, v, iii i rove in the aggregate of
untold benefit w ii! meet, indeed, to a large
extent, contingent c poises, and tend to perteet
the endowment fund of this most needed, most
noble, and most laiil.iu'.ly directed charity.
Soldiers' orphans are now inmates at the
Hoiieste.id Iron. . "en States in the Union,
while the iiistitutioi. has received aid from
neither the Nation..': or State Governments, ex

The New York ' o! ye-terday prints the
lo'.low'mg:
Eirly yesterday n.o ruing a terrible tragedy
was e nacted in the rear basement of No. 1 t't
Stanton street, wh'i !, will probably result in the
death ol Philip Koetml's wile and child. The
rear basement which was inhabited by Kohcl's
family is a sm.iil room about, twelve teet square
under ground, and I either properly lighted nor
ventilated. Behind the door, and against the
wall, is a bedstead, which was nuvcr a place in
viting repose, and now is covered with blood.
liv the side of tic bed are two chairs, on which
is made up a bed 1

two boys on the bed. the

. uowu as 'Birdie." on the
111 lllis manner tin: lumilv
slept uiilii alter h'S creak yestcrdav morning.
Shortly alter i o'clock in the morning Philip
rose troiil the hen .e. and, taking u loaded
double-barrelled pi-to' in his hand, lir.st Went to
the girl's bed and d, -charged one ol the barrels
into her forehead, the bullet apparently lodging
in the brain. The scvond barrel was discharged
at the sleeping wile, the bullet, striking the
troiilal biaie and pas.-ing down the lett cheek,
'the reports awoke the two boys, and the mad
man lather pulled lint trigger' aiming at them,
but the barrels h.u. both been emptied. The
boys ihc.u ,-prani. im.u the bed and rushed out in
search ot anoih ii. It is supposed that Kobel
now reloaded his pistol and disc barged the con
tents ol both barrels into his left breast. He
then tied into the yard at the rear of the pre-ini-es
ami threw i:n pistol into the sink.
The boys soon arivedwith Mliecr Bohle, of
the Tenth Ward l i dice, and the mother and
child were f tund Iv'pig unconscious on the beds,
and appal cully ilea'!. Taking a hurried view of
the spectacle:.' the oiiieer looked lnrthe mur

be concealed in the hallwav. Olllcer Bohle went
there, and found ir. eUsof blood leading to the
street door.

Evidently Kobe'.. i"oni the yard, had ohsvrwd
the arrival ol ihe opieer. lor while Bohle was m
the room, which was but for a minute, the as
sassin dashed through the, hullwav into the
street, and up Stanton street towards the Bowery,
but he was ovcrtul.cn bv Bohle before reaching
Norfolk street. By t his time internal hemorrhage
had so lar weakened him that he could idler but
a leelile: resistance. The olliccr took him to the
Eldridge Stret t police Station, and there he said
that he "expected and sought for no mercy, as
he had intended to kill the whole family.'' It
being clear that be was fast -inking, u carriage
was procured. Koi.yl and the wile and child
were then taken lo liellevne Hospital.
KOI'.I I.'S hTllllV.
Kobel kivs that many years ago his wile seri
ously annoyed him n.v pawning everything sho
couhl lay her hands upon, and that her impru
dence drove him to drink. He adds tlint his
wife's passion h. (H-phiv led her to pawn every
thing in his house, even 'to his clothing. Ahoitt
six year ago the co iple separated, according to
kohel, on account ot Ids wife's infidelity. . Dur
ing their separation Mrs. Kobel is said 'to have
ved witli some other man. Kobel and wile
1 veil apart about tour years, and then resumed
their marital relations, although quarrelling Ire
quently, and sometimes fighting. Tho husband
asserted and insisted that Birdie was not his
child, and that Catherine had herself acknow
ledged as much. In fact, he seemed to have be
come a slave of both jealousy and drink. The
two boys, he said, were allowed to run wild the
mother being unwilling that they should attend
school. The police confirm this chttrgo against
the mother, and say that the boys associated with
the worst of the l eutb ward loafers, and have
long been in a fairway for the Bute Prison.
Kobel attributes all bis troubles to his wife, ami
looks upon the pawnshop a ti e lirtit cause of
tIJ Ii wijwrj.
WORE IRRITATION.
Another HutnWt for I JnMwIn Kmlth'n Coftalilrr-
Ktlfltl. ,
Here Is tho Chicago Time, now, actually pro
posing, that Chicago shall seize upon . tlve capital
of Japan! This Is a very serious matter. Tho
Time says:
"We of this continent, and particularly wo of
Chicago, should turn our attention westward.
Our first object ive point should bo, not Salt Lake
city, or Isan Francisco, hut Jcddo, in distant
Niplion. Here should we locate our advance,
and throw up our outer works. Here should wo
establish the base from which to operate against
Asia. Hero, by stretching out one hand, could
we grasp Pekin, while witli the other we couhl
possess ourselves of tho treasures of the Islands
of the East Indies.
"Let Chicago sel.o upon Jeddo. By this
movement, wo would Hank Russia ii) the Asiatic
march, place 'ourselves in tho rear of Europe,
and possess ourselves of the future domain of
that empire which 'westward takes its way.'"
Mr. Smith must sec in this nothing less than
nn astute and deep-laid plan for the invasion of
England. The British empire Is to be attacked
In the rear; a Hank march from Chicago is to
circumvent John Bull: here Englishmen mayseo
the dreadful consequences of Mr. Sumner's
speech, nnd of their refusal to pay our national
debt. "Don't irritate the animals" ought to bo
written over the American continent. So furious
is the rage of the Chicago people that, as will
he seen in the extract from the i'tnci, they pro
pose not merely to seize the Japanese capital,
but, as a last indignitv, to change its name from
Yedo to Jcddo. 'A. V. Pout.

Will the writer who periodically exclaims to
us. "What becomes of all the pins'?" kindly in
form us what becomes of all the expeditious to
Cuba that have been fitting out within a fort
night' The New York Worlil, saw two thou
sand fighting filibustering Cubans dine at a hotel
in New York, just before leaving, with muskets
on their shoulders and streamers Hying for Cuba,
and had minute rumors ol numerous expeditions,
ships, guns, and men to the number of lO.OiKl,
HtliKi, or H.fKKI, or whatever number might finish
np the story to best advantage, all on their way
to Cuba wt'eks ago. Yet not a man of these has
landed. The World is really lying under an obli
gation to know what became of nil these men.
It it had counted 10,(HK) men when there was
only one man, that would have been exaggera
tion. But to count 1(1.000 men when there are
none is a clear case of hallucination, which is a
much graver moral offense. Chirano Tribune.
Tli .'ni"i w Suit.
In New Orleans, on the 1st of June. Justice
Wayne is to sit and to order the enforcement of
the" mandate of the Supreme Court atlirniing
Mrs. Gaines' right to her immense and noted
estate: a mandate which Judge Durell has nn u
countably refused to obey, and the order to exe
cute which being final, will, in the opinion of
the lady's attorneys, result in such oilers of
liberal compromise by the dclendauts as tho
plaintiff will accept: it being, she says, merely
her wish to have her rights recognized, and lo
overturn the millions of interest which have
accrued from the general though illegal appro
priation of her properly. The Supreme Court,
at its last sitting, directed Judge Wayne to en
force its deerei. as he proposes to do in Jim",
and the end of the t an eelebre is probable.

COMr,INATION SOFA BED
is decidedly the best Sola Bed ever invented. It can
be extended from a Sola Into a handsome French
lieilstead, with hair spring mattress, in ten seconds
of time. It. requires no unscrewing or detaching, has
no separation between back and seat, no cords to
break, and no hinged toot attached to the top of the
back to support it when down, which is unsafe and
liable to get out of repair. It has the conveniences of
a bureau for holding clothing, is easily manured and
it Is impossible for it to get out of order.
Price about the same aa an ordiuary sofa.
