THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, AUGUST 2, 1860. The Modern l'rem-li Novell!. "We quote the following from ono of the ivcly Rkctches of "Men of the Socoiul Em- lively piro" ia the Mull Gazdtc: thou- NewsrmDora wore airouay Hands of rondor whom l.nt a few yours 1. re they numbered only hundreds, and odit. m were trying to outbid euoh other m public fevor by the nu.ul,er and quality of their feuilletons. For ft coimidenilile Unto the fenilleton, or serial tulo, wits deemed tho most important part of ft French paper. The bour geois and his wife caved nmeh niofo for the ingenious novel, eked out in daily doses of three columns, than for tho brilliant le.idin;; urtielo or the palpitating column of J'ntli ttierm. It used to bo calculato.l during the reign of liouis Thilippo that a fouilleton signed "Aloxaudro Dumas" raised tho circula tion of a paper by at least :?HHI; nnd during tho time that tho Journal h' Vclmh pub lished the "Mystcres do Paris," by Eugono Hue, the Rale of that journal was more than quadrupled. Of course, the introduction of the feuilleton produced an astonishing num ber of bad as well Mi good writers; but, taken all in all, tho French novelists of twenty years ngo were ft body of men eminently su perior in point of talent to those of the pre sent day. One of the reasons of this is that the class of novel-readers was better then than now. Art 'sans and workmen had not yet begun to read these works of fiction with which the ono sou newspaper has since fami liarized them. Those who read tho feuilletons were the bourgeois, who were necessarily more eluding than untaught readers can bo. Criti cism, too, had not yet become tho meaning less thing to which French journalists of tho (Second Empire have reduced it. Gustavo rinnche, Cuvillier Floury, Saint-Marc (iir ardin, and Saiute lieuve were all literary judges of rare merit, whoso opinions were esteemed, and whose censorship excited dread enough to keep authors in subjection to tho laws of good taste, good style, and common Kcnso. lint 1 H IX came, literature wasswampod for a time in polities, and when tho storm cleared away and literaturo rose again to tho surface it was under new conditions, in a new atmosphere, and for a new class of people. Politics were completely hushed, journalists Lad chains to their pens. The serious, respect able newspapers might be counted on the fin fc'ers; tho frivolous prints devoted to what was called "literature," that is, to scandal, nonsense, and gossip, were numbered by tho hundreds. Universal suffrage had been proclaimed; tho people not much wiser, perhaps, nor more intelligent than their fathers, but nevertheless more proud and more inquisitive were begin ing to ask tho why and wherefore of things. They were learning to read. They were anxious for a certain semblanceof instruction, and they wanted to have their newspapers like richer folk. Had liberty of tho press existed, good and cheap papers might have been founded, as in England, to disseminate sound instruc tion and healthy opinions on political ques tions, but the six centime stamp prevented this. With a restrictive code of press regula tions, such as that which the second empire had introduced, it was impossible to bring out a good political paper under three-half-pence (town price) or two-pence (country price). This suggested to certain capitalists the idea of starting the halfpenny paper, giving no political news, but crammed full of police reports and details of murders, and rendered double attractive by an interminable feuilleton relating the prowesses of escaped convicts. Of course the innovation succeeded. Tho halfpenny papers, daubed with the lucubra tions of M. Touson du Terrail or M. Einilo Gaboriau, sold by the half million, and the more expensive papers, enticed by the success f their cheap rivals, took their cue from them and launched out int the same kind of literature; the only difference being that, in stead of describing the achievements of po pular heroes like Rocambole, they addressed themselves to more polished sympathies, and npoke of swindling in high life, seduction, abduction, and, above all, adultery. The in evitable result of this movement was that French novelists soon came to be divided into two classes numbering about an equal number of adepts, viz. those who catered for the upper classes, and those who contracted for the lower. Needless to say that these categories mutually despised each other; the latter calling themselves "educators of the people," because, after making their cutthroat hero triumph in two hun dred and sixty-seven chapters, they hanged him in the two hundred and sixty eighth; and the former styling themselvos "realists," or "charaeterists," because in describing objectionable scones they took care to leave out nothing of what ought to have leen suppressed. To say that French novels are more immoral at the present time than they ever were before is to say nothing, for French novelists have never at any period plumed themselves upon that kind of morality which is required in England. ttut the novelists of the second empire aro more cynically immoral than their predecessors. In the works of liction written by authors of other generations, one finds chapters enough which might well have been left out; but in almost every case ono feels that these chapters must have been written naively, without any fixed intention of shocking, anil that the lan guage of them is such as was tolerated by the iisnges of the day. lint there is no excuse of the sort to bo alleged in defense of tho French novelists of the present time. Propriety and decorum were never so loudly preached, nor, on the v hole, so universally practised as they aro nowadays. When, therefore, my friend M. Louis do Rose applies his graphic mind to tho portrayal of incidents such as could form the topic of no conversation out of Mabillo or the Casino Cadet, it is evident that ho goes out of his way to do this, and that his only object is to give to his novels that strong llavor of patchouli which will en wire thorn a sale. Nevertheless, M. Louis de Hose, whose works adorn the table of every boudoir in Paris, passes in the world for a man of stainless principle, and possesses very lofty ideas as to tho dignity of his profession. Ho is decorated, is in high favor at Court, is one of the committee of the Kociete des (Jens de Lettres, and would be accepted everywhere as an urbiter on any moot question of honor. Nothing would shock Lim so deeply as the supposition that he wrote his books with any object in view but tho fcood of humanity. Ho modestly calls him. self the slave of urt. It is in obedience to this honored mistress that he produces a three volume novel once a twelvemonth, and gives it a piquant title which attracts the wUolo of the Quart ier Breda to purchase the work. His last novel was called "La Peche de Madame," anu mice editions ot it went during the first ween, a critic, evidently jealous and very much ienma las age, remarked that it was a Hcanuaious thing that a man should have been found to write such n imnir and that anybody should have been found to l.i-iw it- nil.:. -i, ... . . it. .linn tr ue aenoiiTicnii t,r mot tut something monstrous and grievous; but his "" "my gave a iresn stimulus to ine sale, and three mom Atlitinna iunnnaarail lldfnrn the month was out.

Tho friend was evidently as jealous as the critic, for he answered, "But everybody knows what those symptoms are; and I should have thought it scarcely necessary to go so far as you have dono into details of social anatomy. You are not content to portray a vice you dissect it." "Yes," nodded M. Louis de Rose, "and some day or other, probably when I am dead and gone, it will bo my g o ry to have done so. Future ages will say, 'Voila mi honime uui savait peindvo son epoquo;' and thev will feel grateful to mo for having patiently resigned myself to calumny for the cause of art." Tho friend niado no reply. Was it that he was convinced, or was it simply that when arguing a few days before with another novelist of the Second Empire he had heard tho very self-same answer ? It was a popular writer that time a gentleman who had been delighting tho masses during two years and live months with a serial tale about 'the adventures of a felon. "What !" he cried, "you complain that I allow my hero to escape from all tho prisons where society puts him; that I make him succeed in all his plans, out wit the police, and baflle justice; and that by these Means I incite tho lower classes to dis honesty. But you forget, my friend, that I am simply painting my ago. My book is a portrait a faithful portrait of modern man ners and modern people. If the colors are strong, you must blame nature or society, and not me. I am a realist, remember. I paint my characters as I find them, in a state of nature, and without any flimsy veils on." The friend bowed, but on taking up a paper, to change the subject, he could scarcely help ln,ir,liinr mi ronrliVirt that an unhannv nhoto- O O o A I A grapher, who was probably a realist too, had been sent to prison for six months for selling some faithful portraits of modern people, strongly colored, in a state of nature, and without any flimsy veils on. Waliliabori-.nl in India. I'ri.m the 1'all Mall Gazette. What is tho origin and what is the object of the commotion which within the last few years has been noticed among the Mussul mans in different parts of India, and which very recently caused some apprehension of a conspiracy at Yellore ? Most of the Indian journals, as also some official papers, desig nate the movement as Wahhabeeisni a reli gious system founded by one 'Abd-ul-Wahhab, a native of Najd in Arabia, about tho middle of tho last century, and which, with varying fortune, has maintained its hold over the country lying to tho westward of the Persian Gulf. The central authority is at Riadh, in the province of 'Aredh, where a descendant of Sa'ud, 'Abd-ul-Wahhab's first convert and military champion, still rules over Najd and several of the adjacent maritime districts. The religion and government of this sect may be briefly described as a Mohammedan puri tanism, joined to a Bedawin phylarchy, in which the chief is the political and religious ruler of the nation. In their creed the Wahhabis are perfectly orthodox; the unity of God is the fundamental principle of their faith; they believe in Mo hammed, but regard him as essentially mortal, though gifted with a divine mission; and the Koran, and the Koran alone, is their prof essed guide in all matters of faith and practice. This latter peculiarity is the most dangerous article of their creed, for it revives the merit of using arms to convert or destroy heretics and infidels a doctrine which, owing to a va riety of causes, too numerous and complicated to be noticed here, has been gradually dying out from amongst most of the Mussulman sects. Sa'ud and his successors were strongly imbued with this dogma, and their zeal in carrying it out was rewarded by tho willing or forced subjection of some of tho remotest provinces of Arabia to their sway. The Wra habbis of the present day are no less fanatical than their predecessors, but they have made no new conquests of late years, and it is no torious that some of the maritime tribes on the Persian Gulf would gladly bo freed from their oppressions. Hence it is not probable that any emissaries from them have found their way into India; neither is it likely that there has been any intercourse between the Indian Mussulmans and these Wahhabis. Tlyit a similar reform may have sprung up among some of the zealots of the former, half-IIin-dooizod as many of them are, is conceivable; but wo question its having any connection with Wahhabeeism proper, ana therefore the appellation given to it is a misnomer calcu lated to mislead. Our doubts in this respect are confirmed by reading in a Madras journal that "these puritans" in that presidency re- and spitting at the same time." If there is any good ground for believing that the move ment in India has a common origin, and is more or less under the same guidance, it ought not to be beyond the capability of our officials there to discover both, and to afford us some clearer insight into a system which cannot bo Wahhabeeism, which may be somo- tning like it, anil which it greatly concerns ua as the rulers of that eniiiiro to understand thoroughly. Un this sub lect an Indian lournahst sup plies us with tho following additional par ticulars: 'The name Wahhabees was originally ap plied as a term of reproach by tho orthodox T. .1.' ... r i i i n it inaian Mussulmans to certain sects 01 J.U3 formers which have at different times sprung up in different parts of the country. The most important of these sects accepted the title as a means ot distinguishing themselves from the inert mass that had suffered vain traditions to incrust and overlay tho inspired Koran. These Reformers, have very little in common with the followers of Abd-ud-YVahib of Nejd, nor is their Puritanism of such a pronounced character. The founder ot tins sect was Syud Uhmcd, a British subject, born at Bareilly, who took service with Amoor Khan, Nawab of Tonk. On tho subjugation of this potty prince, Syud Uhmed proceeded to Delhi, whore he set up aa a preacher and reformer (vide Cunningham's 'History of the Sikhs'), and made many converts. The most zealous of his disciples was a moulvee named Ishmael, who was the St. Paul of the new sect, and by his writings gave form and consistency to the utterances of the Syud. In lHiii the latter was defeated and slain by the troops of Kunjeet Sing, against whom he had M Wia VuU&ugvilv OV (WO Wlwlo years, Qa, the death of Syud Uhmed, his followers din- persed themselves in various directions. His own tnnuly fled to Tonk; but such of his dis ciples as were unable to make their way back to British territory effected their escape to the mountainous region beyond Peslmwur, where they fraternized with the Ynsufzyes, and bo came the nucleus of those desperato fanatics who have since given us so much trouble at Sittana. "The doctrines of Syud Uhmed, promul gated by Moulvee Ishmael, found favor in tho eyes of a considerable portion of the Moham medan population of Delhi, Bareilly, Agra, and Mlygurh. From the last named town several Moslems of high position in Govern ment Kerviee migrated to Tonk several years before the mutiny, and thence kept up a con stant correspondence with the refugees on the Peshawur hills, who were also joined by 'every one that was in distress, and every one that wns in debt, and every one that was dis contented.' From this Moslem Cave of Adul lum emissnries were from time to tinio despatched throughout tho length and breadth of India, and money was freely contributed, especially from Patnn, to keep alive tho smouldering embers of fanatacism. The border annals aro filled with the oft-repeated talo of murder, raids, and petty warfare, instigated by tho Akhoimd of Swat, who may bo styled tho high priest of tho Wahhabees, and for which wo nie largely indebted to our apathy in lS2!t -()-:l. The Moslem reformers, however, are not confined to tho northwest frontior, they swarm likewise in Lower Bengal. Two of Syud L'hmed's disciples, known to the Ben galees as the Moulabees (Moulvees), ex cited disturbances at Baraset as far back as 18;51-:5li, the existence of which was first communicated to tho local magistrate by the commissioner of tho dis trict, who had been warned by Lord William Bentinck from Calcutta, in consequence of a letter addressed to a merchant of that city by an indigo planter settled near Baraset. In the neighborhood of Calcutta and Dacca thoso puritans or fanatics call them what you will pass by the name of Firajees, and are so far formidable that they supply money to the more active malcontents thickly scattered throughout India. The real matter for sur prise, however, is not the existence of this danger, but the fact that the Government are now for the first time sensible of the necessity for caution, perhaps for ac tion. They have all along persisted in regard ing the Sittana raids as cattle-driving forays after the manner of those familiar to readers of Scottish history; nor were their eyes opened by the startling discoveries made by Mr. William Taylor, at Patna, in 1850-57. Even now they have exhibited the utmost re luctance to believe anything of such a dis agreeable nature. A native police officer, himself an orthodox Mussulman, who appre hended a Wahhabce emissary on his way back to the hill, was reprimanded for his excess of zeal. Fortunately an English officer was sub sequently able to pounce upon this same emissary, on whose person were found papers of serious if not of alarming import. Upon this scent the Government have let loose their sleuth hounds, with what success re mains vfit to lin Rftn "tJWSEM! jarsE j - weaavtm rteti&j iufttJ LOOKINQ CLASSES, ETC. gSlABLISHED 179 5. A. S.
