The following samming np Ave take fi-oin Jrtin McCarthy's article on "JMnard Ji.i! ver, Lord Lytton: " Thuf. then, usinir nith luexhaustiblc energy anil perseverance hi& wonderful irifisas an intel lectual mechanician, Edward Bulner-Lytton vcnt on lrom IbiH to It) rindins; out of his mill an r.lmost unbroken succession of novels sind romances to suit all changes in public taste. I do not believe ho changed his themes and ways of treating them purposely, to suit, the change-; of public taste: but rather that, beiui; a m;:n of no true original and creative power, his "lyle and bis vicw-j were modiiied by the modi lying conditions of successive years. Some new id- a, some new way of looking at this or that i'.ies'tion of human life, came up, and it attracted him who was always a close and diligent stu dent of the world and its fashions; and he made it into a romance. Whatever new schools of fiction came into existence, Bulwcr Lytton, always directing the new ideas into the channel where popular and elomcntary empathies f.owed freely, succeeded in turning each change to advantage, and keeping his place. Dickens spranir up and founded a t. -Looi; and yet Buiwer-Lytton held his own. Thackeray arose and established a new school, and Bulwer-l.ytton, whom no human being would have thought of comparing with either as a man of genius, did not lose a reader. Charlotte Bronte came like a shadow, aud so departed; George Eliot gave a new lift and life to romance: the realistic school was followed by the sensational school; tho Literature of Adul tery ran its vulgar course and llulwcr-Lytton remained where he always bad been, and moulted no feather. It is not likely that any true critic ever thought very highly of him, or indeed took him r;uite seriously: but for many, many years criticism, which had so scoffed and girded at him once, bad only civil word iind " applauding smiles for him. How Thackeray once did mike savage fun of "Bull wig," and more lately how Thackeray praised him ! Charles Dickens what an enthusiastic admirer of the genbis of his friend Lytton he too became ! And Tenny sonwhat a "fierce passage of arms that was long - ago between Bulwer and him; aud now wh.ii cordial mutual admiration! Fonblaii'p.ie and Forster, the Atkemrum and J'un;k, Tray, Blanche, aud Sweetheart how they all wel comed in chorus each new effort of genius by tho great romancist who was once the stock butt "of all lively satirists. How did this happy change come about? Nobody ever had harder dealing at the hands of the critics than Bulwer when his powers were really most fresh and lorcible; nobody ever had more general and genial commendation thin shone of late years around his sunny way. How was this? Did tho critics really find that they had been mistaken and own themselves conquered by his transcendent merit? Did he "win the wise who frowned before to emile at last?" To some extent, yes. He fabowed that be was not to be written do wo; that no critical article could suut'f him out; that he really had some stuff in him and plenty of mettle and perseverance; and he soon became a literary institution, an accomplished fact which criticism could not help recognizing. But there was much more than this operating towards Bulwer-hytiou's reconciliation with criticism He became a wealthy man, a man of fashion, a sort of aristocrat, with yet a sincere love for tho society of authors aud artists, with a taste for encouraging private theatricals and endowing literary institutions, and with a splendid coun try house. He became a genial, golden link be tween literature and society. Even Bohemia was enabled by his liberal aud courteous good will 10 penetrate sometimes into the regions of Belgravia. The critics began to fall in love with him. l ao not ueiicve mat Lord Lytton made himself thus agreeable to Jiis literary brethren out of any motive what ever but that of honest good fellowship aud kindness. I have heard too many instances of his frank and brotherly friendliness to utterly ob scure writers, who could be of no sort of service to him or to anybody, not to feel satisfied of bis unselfish good-nature aud bis thorough loyalty to that which ought to be the esprit de corpa of the literary profession. But it Is certain that he thus converted enemies into friends, and stole the gall out of many an inkstand, and the poison from many a penman's leathered dart. Not that the critics simply sold their birthright of bitterness for an invitation to diuncr or the kindly smile of a literary Peer. But you can not, I suppose, deal very rigidly with the works of a man w ho Is uniformly kiod to you ; who brings you Into a sort of society which other wise you would probably never have a chance of seeing ; who, being himself a lord, treats you, poor critic, as a friend and brother ; and whose works, moreover, are certain to have a great public success, uo matter what you say or leave unpaid. The temptation to look for and dis cover merit in such books is strong indeed perhaps too strong for frail critical na ture. Thus arises the great sin of English criticism. It is certainly not venal ; It is hardly ever malign. Mere ill-nature, or im patience, or the human delight of showing one's strength, may often induce a London critic to deal too sharply with some new and nameless author; but altaough we who write books are each and all of as delighted to persuade our selves that any disparaging criticism must bo the result of some personal hatred, I cannot re mem ter ever having bad serious reason to be lieve that a London critic had attacked a book because of bis personal ill-will to tho author. The sin is quite of another kind a tendeucy to praise the books of certain authors merely beeaune the critic knows tho men bo intimately, and likes them so well that he is at once naturally prejudiced in their favor, and disinclined to say anything which could hurt or injure them. Thus of late criticism has had hardly any thing to say of Lord Lytton, except in the way of praise. He Is the head, and patron, and orna ment bt a great Londou literary "ring.' I use this word because none other could so well con vey to a reader in New York a clear idea ot the friendly professional nnity of the coterie I desire to describe; but I wish it to be distinctly under stood that I do not attribute anything like venality or hired partisanship of any kind to tho literary ring ot which Lord l.y ftton is tho spark ling gem. Of course it has become, as such cliques always must become, somewhat of a Mutual Admiration Society; and it is certain that a place in that brotherhood secures a man against much disparaging criticism. There are indeed literary cliques in London, of a somewhat lower range than this, where the Influence of per sonal friendships does operate in a manner that closely borders upon a sort of literary corruption. But Lord Lytton and bis friends and admirers are not of that sort. They are friends together, and they do admire each other, and I suppose everybody (save one per son) likes Lord Lytton now; and so it is only in the rare case of a fresh, independent outsider, like the critic who wrote in the H'etininstrr Jiecitio some two years ago, that a really imp ir Hal, keen, artistic survey js takvn of the worfia of him that was "Builwig." When Lytton ptjblifbed his "Caxtors," the reviewer of the Examinrr even up to that time a journal of great int'uence and prestige, having nearly ex hausted Ril possible modes of panegyric, be thought himself that some unappreclative and cynical persons might possibly think there was a lack of originality in a work 60 obviously constructed after tho model of "Tristram Shandy." So te hastened to confute or con- ince all such persons by pointing out that in this very fact consisted tho special claim of "The Cartons" to absolute originality. The original ecuius of l.y tton was proved by his duclng so excellent a cony. Don't you see? pro Yoa don't perhaps But then if you were intimate with Lord Lytton. and were killed by birn, and were a performer iu the private theatricals at Knebwortb. bis country seat, you would pro bably see it quite clearly, and agree with it, every word. There was one person Indeed who had no toleration for Lord Lytton, or for his frieodly critics. That was Lord Lytton's wife. There really is ro scandal in alluding to a conjugal quarrel which was brought so persistently under public notice by one of the parties as that be tween Buiwer-Lytton aJd bis wiie. I do not know whether I ought to call it a quarrel. Can that be called a light, piteously asks the m,m in Juvenal, where my enemy only beats and I am merely beattn? Can that be called a quarrel in which. 60 far as the public could judge, the wife did all the denunciation, and the husband made no reply? Lady Lytton wrote novels for the purpose of satirising her husband and his friends his parasites, she called them. Buiwer-Lytton chc gracefully described as hiving "the head of a goat on the bod-of a grasshop per' a description which has just cnoutrh of comical truthfulness in its savage ferocity to make it specially cruel to the victim of the sa tire, and amusing to the unconcerned public. Lady Lytton attributed to her husbmd the most odious meannesses, vice?, and cruelties; but the Eublic, with' all its love of scandal, seems to ave steadfastly refused to take her ladyship's word for these accusations. Dickens she de nounced and vilified as a mere parasite and sycophant of her husband. At one time she poured out a gush of fulsome eulogy on Thack eray because he apparently was not one of Lytton's friends; afterwards, when the relation ship between "Felham" and 'T'endennis-' became friendly, she changed her tune and tried to bite the iile. to satirize the irreat satirist. Disraeli she caricatured under Die title of "Jeri cho Jabber." This sort of thing she kept always going on. Sometimes she issued pamphlets addressed to the women of England, calling on them to take up her quarrel which somehow they did not seem inclined to. Once when Lord Lytton, then only Sir Edward, was on the hust ings, addressing his constituents at a county election, her ladyship suddenly mounted the platform and "went for" him. .Sir Edward and bis friends prudently and quietly withdrew. I do not know anything of the merits of the quar rel, and have always been disposed to think that something like insanity must have been the ex planation of much of Lady Lytton's conduct. But it is beyond doubt that her husband's de meanor was remarkable for its quiet, indomit able patience and dignity. Lately the public has happily heard little of Lady Lytton's complaints. I did not even know whether she was still liv ing, until I saw a little book announced the other day by some publisher, which bore her name. Let her pass with the one remark that her long succession of bitter attacks upon her husband does not seem to have done him any damage in the estimation of the world. It is not likely that posterity will preserve much of Lord Lytton's writings. They do not, I think, add to literature one original character. Even the gloriiied murderer or robber, the Eugene Aram or Faul Clifford sort of person, had been done and done much better by Schiller. by (iodwin, and by others, before Bulwer-Lyttou tried him at second hand. As pictures of Eng lish society, those of them which profess to deal with modern English life have no value what ever. The historical novels, the classical novels, are glaringly false in their color and tone. 8ome of tho personages in '"The Last Days of Fompeii" are a good deal more like modern English dandies than mot of the pcoplo who are given out as such in "Pelbam." The attempts at political satire in "Paul Clif-' ford," at broad humor in "Eugene Aram' (the Corporal and liis cat for example), are fei ble and miserable. There is hardly OHe touch of refined and genuine pathos of pathos drawn from other thin the old stock conventional sources in the whole of the romances, plays, and poems. The one great facility which the author possessed was the capacity to burnish up and display the absolutely commonplace, the merely conventional, the utterly unreal, so that it looked new, original, and real in the eyes of the ordinary public, and sometimes even suc ceeded, for the hour, in deceiving the expert. Bulwer-Lytton's romance is only the romance of the London Family lb raid, or the New York LMgcr, plus high intellectual culture and an intimate acquaintance with the best spheres of letters, art, and fashion. I own that I have con siderable admiration for the man who, with so small an original outfit, accomplished so much. So successful a romancist; occasionally almost a sort of poet; a perfect master of the art of writing plays to catch au diences; so skilful an imitator of oratory that, despite almost unparalleled physical de fects, he once nearly persuaded the world that his was genuine eloquence who shall say that the capacity which can do all this is not some thing to be admired ? It is a clever thing to be able to make ornaments of paste which shall pass with the world for diamonds; mock-turtle soup which shall taste like rea'; wax figures which look at first as if they were alive. Of the literary art which is akin to this, our common literature has probably never bad so great a master as Lord Lytton. Such a man Is especi ally the one to stand up as the appropriate representative of literature in such an assembly as the English House of Lords. 1 should be sorry to see a Browning, a Thackeray, a Carlyle, a Tennyson, a Dickens there; but I think Lord Lytton is in bis right place a splendid sham author in a splendid sham legislative assembly. A London correspondent writes as follows about the leg story told by Mrs. Auna Cora Mowatt-Fiichie, which the Gala.ry somewhat impugned: .1 T . . , t .1... J 1 . - ... . I ju iuc ouuu uuuiuer oi iuu ,am.ry mere IS an editorial in w hich you throw a doubt upon I certain statements made by .Mrs. A. C. Uitchie in one of her correspondences. You assume that she has been misinformed concerning the casts taken from the legs of English ladies of title. As 1 was her informant, I feci bound t? state the source from which I derived tho In formation. Of course the assertion of the pro fessional venders of casts would go for nothing, as you imply that they would find It to their ad vantage to encourage a belief in the statements to which you refer: but Mrs Ritchie's evidence rests upon very dilfereut grounds. The cast of Lady 'e leg, which occupied a po-itiou in her ladyship's drawing-room, was taken, not by a professional vender of casts, bat by an artist who is a habitue of some of the best houses in Loudon, and whose word could not be doubted by those who know him. Three or four of us were one evening drawing in the studio of a friend when this gentleman came in, and, in answer to our queries as to what he bad beeu doing, he mentioned, not at all as an extraordi nary occurrence, or one likely to excite sur prise or remark, that be had been taklmr a cast of Lady 's loot and leg; and when we a.ked why the cast had beeu taken, he replied that it was to place on the drawing room table as an ornament; nor, be added, was this so unusual as w; seemed to think. He mentioned, indeed, several houses w here such east could hi .eeu. He also cited the cae of a certain Lady Mayor ess, of whom two casts hid been taken, one with tbe shoe and stocking, and the other with out; and a cast of another uoble lady which mb'bt be bad at a shop in Soho. Mis. Ritchie, however, was mistaken in supposing that these casts were opmly so'rt as beiug taken lrom the ladies In question. To the general public they are sold merely as ordinary casts. All this was tt.ii t tot litt!y or .in jest, but simply acd in perfect good faith. Were it a matter ot Impor tance, 1 could give the names of the speaker and tho? e present, one of whom, at least, would ke known to you. But as this statement Is not made ty one who is personally unknown to yon. I presume you can hardly question its veracity." Snr.iTiD Wolf Hcnt in MisstHMri'i. A few days ago several gentlemen of this county, having bad some knowledge of tbe alarming number of wolves in their neighborhood, prowling about the country and making hucu hideous and mournful howls at night, dis turbing the peaceful slumbers of the quiet inhabitants, concluded to go in search of the midnight disturbers cf the peace, hogs, and sheep. Four of the Joneses, Mr. Poole, and Mr. F. C. Huff, were the gentlemen who composed the hunting party. They started tear Mrs. Diron V, and 5liddloton creek was (he scene of tbe excitement that aeon fol lowed. The chose commenced with the spontaneous outburst of a hound's joy, and the surrounding forest fairly resounded with the cheering shouts of the pursuing hunters. For seven long hours the chase continued unabated, during which time six wolves were killed and several dogs badly injured. Bat they were still resolute, and if they did not possess the tenacity of bull-dogs, they mani fested a whining disposition to "go for" the wolves. After approaching the den Mr. Huff's dog entered in search of more game, and three dead whelps was the esult. Hat the fight w ent bravely on, and it was soon ascertained that the faithful dogs were having too much of a good thing in the den, and the hunters rcidily determined to rescue them at all hazards. Mr. Huff being the smallest man, he consented to enter. .So he assumed the character of Israel Putnam aud entered the "wolf's den" to rescue his dogs. Porhap3 Mr. Huff had some misgivings about this new ad venture, as he requested some one to heel for him, or rather to hold him by the heels as he descended into the hole. Well enough he took the precaution, for the old mother wolf was there, though he was not aware ot it until he had made his entrance. Mr. Jones performed the office of heolman for Mr. Huff. So he entered. The distance being much greater than was first supposed, some one was compelled to heel lor Mr. .Jones, i he ad vance was made slowly and cautiously, but when the scene of the subterraneous combat was fully approached, Mr. Huff caught one of his dogs by the leg, and had his request conveyed to the rear to back out or pull him out. Jones' heelman pulled him; Jones pulled Hull; Huff pulled the dog, and the dog pulled out a young wolf. Israel Huff took the trophy of his exploit home with him, but it died in a few days from the effects ot injuries it liad received. Had the mother taken a part when the gentle- man entered the den, we imagine there would have been some severe scratching on that paiticular occasion. However, the wolf hunt ended with good results. We have been in formed that the wolves are killing dogs and sheep daily in that portion of the country. While the dogs were running the wolves, a dog that did not belong in the drive met the wolves and was killed. When the h inters arrived at the don they found limbs of sheep and hogs which had been carried there the night before enough to feast the honnds after their chase and fight. We wish Israel Putnam Huff' success in his next adventure. Mmthille (Miss.) Journal. Admiral Dahlohf.n's Personal JJimvkry. Uecause Admiral uamgren was sea-sien in rough weather, and never spent much of his term of service at sea, many of the sea-dogs in the service were wont to disparage his personal courage. How unjust this was is shown by the following statement lrom a well-informed source: In all the engagements in Charleston harbor Admiral Dahlgren commanded in person, making his head quarters during the fight on board the lead ing monitor, although, he might have directed the operations from his own ship anchored out of range, or from the comfortable quarter-deck of the New Iron sides. But the Admiral believed in the moni- tors,and his resolute choosing sometimes one, sometimes another of them for his tempo rary flagship in all the earlier contests, when many of the officers of these strange vessels considered them quite as perilous as the enemy s shot, was one example among many which will occur to those who served under him of his intrepid willingness, it may almost be said wilfulness, in encountering the worst he summoned others to encounter. One day in May, 18(14, two of the monitors of the blockading fleet were ordered to take posi tion within short range ot l ort bu niter and open a bombardment with shell. The boats moved up, anchored, and opened a fire which was continued several hours. Of course the fire was not returned from Sumter, bat from Fort Moultrie and the whole exten sive line of works on Sullivan's Island a tre mentions fire of solid shot, shell, and bombs were poured upon the two adventurous craft, the shot sometimes striking the turrets and ;;:: breaking in pieces, sometimes striking deck and ricocheting, sometimes striking the water and covering the ships with falling spray and continually Dying past with a shriek like nothing else. No vessels but monitors could have remained anchored in the midst of such a lire several hours a day for three days and been floated oft". It was during one of these days that tbe Admiral in bis open boat, and with his flag flying, was rowed from his flagship in the roadstead below up to one of the monitors, on board of which he remained an hour watching the effect of the tire on Sumter, and departed in tbe Mime Hazardous manner, tortunatoly nn harmed. .
