"The Scapegoat" ia the title of a Btory of
English "high life" at the present day which
has just been published by J. B. Lippiacott
A Co. The author, who wrote nndjr the
9wtn deplume of "Leo," was Lieutenant-Colo-ael
remberton, of the British army, who was
killed at Sedan, while acting as a correspon
dent of the London Times, and the story be
fore ns presents many evidences of being a
record of things that have passed under his
wn observation. A reviewer in LippincoWs
Jfngozine makes a very just comparison be
tween it and "Camors," for while it is not a
foliHhed work of art like that novel, it is
nearly if not quite as valuable as a picture of
Society. The difference between
Ihe French and the English social
Byiteins is decidedly marked in
these two works, for while each treats of the
Vices and temptations of modern society,
there is no such atmosphere of vice in " The
Scapegoat" as there is in "Camors," and it is
a book that can be much more judiciously
entrusted to the perusal of inexperjenced.
leaders. "Lionel Davenport" falls from
virtue and is punished for bis sins, but he is
Hot inherently vicious, but on the contrary is
ft man whose aspirations are virtuous, but
who is too weak to resist temptation, while
'Camors" is one who has been trained in a
I Chool of vice from his infancy, and is living
in a society that offers few if any inducements
to virtue. "Lionel Davenport" ha9 his
Uusons, but he does not meditate an attack
upon the virtue of every attractive female he
aieets, as does "Camors," and we are conse
quently spared some of the objectionable fea
tures of the French novel.
"The Scapegoat" has many crudities, but
it is a story of indisputable interest and
merit. There is, of course, the horse racing,
fox hunting, and dinner eating that are in
separable from English novels of this class;
tout there are also many things of more inte
rest, and while the plot is not very clearly
denned some of the situations are highly dra
matic, and the story makes an exhibit of
aristocratio London society that is in a high
degree edifying. In this connection we can
mot omit to notice the tendency towards
snobbery that characterizes even the works
of the most cultivated British writers.
Octave Feuillet does not presume to doubt
that the reader will accept "Camors" as a
polished gentleman, in all outward respects
at least; but the Englishman thinks it neces
sary, after relating some disgusting trait of
blackguardism in one of his characters,
to anxiously insist that he is never
theless a high-toned English gentle
man, evincing a sensitiveness upon
the subject that the French author
would be the last to understand. The fact of
Englishmen of high sooial position insisting
as they do upon gentility is a proof that
there is a thick stratum of intense vulgarity
running through their whole social system
that they are uneasily conscious of, and that
the Englishmen, no matter how hitch their
social status may be, or how great their cul
ture, are snobs by nature and instinct.
From Claxton, Remsen & Ilaffeldnger
we have received the following recent issues
from their press:
"The Adventures of Big-Foot "Wallace,"
by John C. Duval, is a narrative of the ad
Ten tures of a noted Texan ranger and hunter,
which the author, who is himself a frontiers
man, assures us is a strict record of fasts.
The book is full of marvellous adventures
and hair-breadth escapes, and is as entertain
ing as anything in the same line that we have
met with for a long time. "Big-Foot Wal
lace" belongs to a class of men who have
played an important part in the history of
this country, but who are fast disappearing
before advancing civilization; and such a
work as the one before us will be as useful to
the future historian as it will be amusing to
the readers particularly the juvenile readers
of the present day. The illustrations,
which include a full-length portrait of Wal
lace, are numerous and spirited.
"Opinions Concerning the Bible Law of
Marriage," by "One of the People," is an
argument in favor of monogamy that is
worth reading on its own acoount, although
few will share in the author's apprehensions
of a spread of Mormon principles. The evi
dent heat with which the book is written
omewhat detracts from its value, as simple
assertions are too often given instead of
arguments and facts, and the author is
stronger when he reasons from general
principles than when he eadeavors to
' twist the wording of the Scriptures
to suit his peculiar ideas. Outside
of the Mormon community, there are very few
advocates of polygamy in this country, and
surely when the monogamists are so largely
in the ascendant the opponents of polygamy
can well afford to discuss the subject with
coolness and impartiality. The author of the
book before ns has a pretty hard time of it
with the Old Testament patriarchs and kings;
but it is only justice to Ray that he makes out
pretty good case against them, and his book
Lb a strong argument in proof that polygamy
is a crime even if some otherwise respectable
biblical characters did practise it.
From Duffleld Ashmead we have received
'Palace and Hovel; or, Phases of London
Life," by Daniel Joseph Kirwan. Published
Lv Belknap & Bliss, Hartford. Conn. The
binding of this book is the best part of it,
the copy before us being not inelegantly en
cased in half morocco, which would make it
presentable on the shelves of a gentleman's
library. The work itself is very largely a
compilation from the police reports of the
London papers, the author having apparently
taken particular pains to hunt up the most
disgusting criminal eases whioh have edified
. the London publio during the last few years.
Bach a book may have a certain value, but it
is sot pleasant reading, and while some of
the scenes in and about London are well de
scribed, the literary style is too slip-shod and
tie details of criminal and scandalous trans
actions too prominent for ns to bestow any
very hearty commendation upon it.
The American Tract Society have just
published "The Young Lady's Guide" and
"Woman: ner Dignity and Sphere."
"The Young Lady's Guide" is a compila
tion of short essays by Sarah Tytler, Miss
Mulock, Mrs. Sydney Cox, Henry Rogers,
Mrs. Ellis, Mrs. Hannah Moore, Rev. Dr.
William R. Williams, Rev. John Angell
James, and other authors, and we commend
it as being much more practical and sensible
than such works usually are. Even the much
abused subject of novel-reading is treated in
a manner that no cultivated admirers of fic
tion can object to, and it gives much sound
advice that young persons of either sex
would find It of advantage to heed.
"Woman: Her Dignity and Sphere" is a
book of good, sensible counsel that in these
days of women's rights agitations it will do
the rising generation of the sex feminine no
harm to read with attention.
Porter fc Coates send us "Corn pit's Phy
sical Geography," published by D. Appleton
& Co. The subject of physical geography is
treated in this work in a plain and under
standable manner suited to the capacity of
school children, and as an elementary text
book it has many excellent features that com
mend it to the notice of teachers.
From the same house we have received
"Appleton's Illustrated Almanac" for 1871,
which is filled with numerous attractive pic
tures, brief essays on a variety of subjects,
and much useful statistical information.

Anecdote of Secretary Flub.
Mr. Secretary Fish, though one of the most
rennea ana courteous ot gentlemen, can
scarcely be said to have a national reputation
as a wag. Yet here is a trine that shows
what he might do if hard pressed: A few
months since Major Jack o , of California,
was in Washingtan in quest of office. He
had besieged Senator Cole to such an extent
that the horn buttons on the back of his coat
had made two holes in the Senator's sofa.
At last the irrepressible Major was referred
to the Secretary of State, and promptly
gained an interview witn tnat gentleman
Entering the presence, his tall white hat
leaning back at aa angle of forty-five de
grees, stroking his huge moustache, and re
lieving his forehead from perspiration by
means of a huge red handkerchief bordered
with blue, the Secretary addressed him:
"Well, Major, I am told you were of great
service to our good cause In Laliforniaduring
tne last political campaign.
The Major, throwing himself back into
that graceful position peculiar to himself, and
placing both thumbs in the arm-holes of his
vest, exclaimed: "Oh no, I guess not; it's
the man around the corner, in the grocery!
Mr. r isn. somewbat daunted by the atti
tude struck by the Major, and deeming the
language rather unbecoming for a gentleman
to make use of who was an applicant for a
high Federal position, replied: "That being
the case, Major, I will have a conference with
the gentleman who occupies the grocery, and
endeavor to reward him for his services,
Good morning, Bir."
On the ensuing morning the Mai or inserted
his various shirts and things in his leathern
bag, and left for California.
Flynt with a Y.
From the Sprincijield Republican,
There is a good deal to be said, looking
from Mrs. Flynt's standpoint. People are
paying every day twice what a thing is worth
simply because they get it of somebody who
happens for the moment to be the rage, and
Mrs. Flynt has just as good a right to strike
for a share of the spoils as anybody, un
doubtedly bhe tried to play sharp on Mrs.
Coolidge, but if the latter cnose to run up a
bill for clothes wlthoutknowing beforehand
what they were to cost, few people would
pity her or her husband if they had to pay the
bill presented by their rapacious creditor in
full.
We wish we might believe that this case
indicated a change in publio sentiment, and
that it would henceforth be the fashion, or
even considered respectable, for people in the
United btates to look after their expenditures
even ll tney are Men as it is in other
countries. But we have no idea that the case
has any such significance as that; or that our
people will not go on paying two or three
prices to everybody who has brass enough to
claim to be, or the good fortune to get the
reputation of being, an "artist" in dress
making, tailoring, shoemaking or hotel
keeping. Whenever any of these folks get
taken down, as Mrs. Flynt has, we shall re
joice; but we have no special praise to award
to the Coolidges, who are of the class that
bring the other class into existenoe, resisting
only an occasional exorbitant charge, but
making no efforts to reform their own bad
habits or those of society.
A PnorHETio Queen. The Queen of Hol
land, immediately after the cession of Vene
tia, and while the war in Bohemia was still
going on, wrote to the Emperor Napoleon the
following letter: "July 18, 18G0 You give
way to strange delusions ! Your prestige has
been damaged more during the last fortnight
than during the whole continuance of your
reign. Allowing the feeble to be destroyed,
you let the insolence and brutality of your
next neighbor grow to extravagant propor
tions. You accept a present, and you don't
know how to give a good word to him who
presents it to you. I regret that you think
me interested in the question, and that yon
do not see the fatal danger of one powerful
Germany and one powerful Italy. It is the
dynasty which is threatened, and it is that
which must bear the consequences. I gay
this because it is the truth, whioh you will
learn too late. Do not think that the niUfor
tune which overwhelms me in the disaster of
my country makes me unjust or suspicious.
Ytnetia ceded, you must aid Austria, march
to the Rhine, and impo?e your conditions.
Let Austria be slaughtered, and you commit,
not a, crime, but more a blunder. This,
perhaps, is my last letter. I would, however,
consider myself wanting to an old and sin
cere friendship if I did not say one lust time
the' whole truth. I do not expeot that it will
be listened to; but I wish to be one day able
to Bay that I did everything to prevent the
ruin of what inspired me with so muoh faith
tnd affection."
OF TWO EVILS, ETC.
A IHm Ao ! be I tenant Cheeaea te Starve

The Washington star of last evening savs:
Albert Nicholas, the colored man who killed his
wife, Luclnda Nicholas, and ber mother at his
bouse, on Maine avenue, between lnlrd and
Four-and-a-half street in this city, on the 16th
day of September, 1809, literally butchering
them with an axe, hatchet, and brick, died last
evening at 8 25 o'clock in the jail of this county,
where he was awaiting a second trial for
murder.
The ofneors of the jail did all thev could to
make him comfortable, giving him almost un
limited privileges, aad assigning two men they
could trust to see to ma wants, lie had been
allowed the range of the yard almost all day
that he might have air, and delicacies were
fixed up to tempt him to eat, but for a week
past he refused almost everything iu the shape
of eatables. Yesterday it was discovered that
he was staking rapidly, and he was taken to the
hospital department, In which he said he would
die. Drs. Young and McWilliams (the latter
from South Washington) vit-ited him and were
with him almost constantly until his death,
which took place as above stilted, In the pre
sence of General Crocker, Dr. Young, and other
olllcers of the Jail. He died very easily, and
Inst previous, when Dr. Young attempted to
persuade him to take some stimulant, telling him
tnat lie would die it be did not, ne answered,
It will be well if I do."
Deceased was about forty years of age. nearly
six feet in height, and appeared quite emaciated,
with sunken eyes, and of very dark skin. The
autopsy was made by Dr. J. F. Hartlgan, as
sisted by Dr. Noble Youne, jail physician, J.
V. V an Arnum and J. 11. Thompson. On a
thorough examination of the brain all the doc
tors present came to the conclusion that the
cause of death was passive congestion of the
brain, the result of extreme nervous exhaustion
consequent upon willful abstinencetrom food.
Anecdotes of Carltle. The curious and
"troublesome" style of Carlyle is said to be
quite in contrast with his simple, straightfor
ward way of talking. Hatred of sham is
one of his notable characteristics. One
evening, at a small literary gathering, a lady,
famous for her "muslin theology, was be
wailing the wickedness of the Jews in not
receiving the Saviour, and ended her diatribe
by expressing regret that He had not ap
peared in our own time. "How delighted,"
said she, "we should all be to throw our
doors open to Him, and listen to His divine
precepts 1 Don't you think so, Mr. Carlyle ?"
The sturdy philosopher, thus appealed to,
said, in bis broad Scotch, "No, madam, I don t.
I think that, had He come very fashionably
dressed, with plenty of money, and preach
ing doctrines palatable to the higher orders,
I might have had the honor of receiving
from vou a card of invitation, on the back
of which wonld be written, 'To meet our
baviour; but if lie had come uttering His
sublime precepts, and denouncing the Phari
sees, and associating with the Publicans and
lower orders, as He did, you would have
treated Him much as the Jews did, and
have cried out, "Take Him to Newgate and
nang mm :
On another oocasion, when Ernest Jones, a
well-known Chartist leader, was haranguing,
in his violent manner, against the established
authorities, Carlyle shook his head, and told
him that, "had the Chartist leaders been
living In the days of Christ, he would have
sent the unclean spirits into them, instead of
into the swine of the Gergesenes, and so we
should have happily got rid of them." This
delicate allusion to the suicide of the pigs so
astonished the respectable representative of
the numerous family of the Joneses that he
said nothing more about Chartism that flight.
Bohing Into the Scbtebbanean Sea. On
Thursday last the labors of the parties who
had been boring for the last eighteen months
in Lincoln, the capital city of Nebraska, f er
salt water, were crowned with suooess. At
the depth of six hundred feet below the sur
face, in a stratum of sandstone, lead of the
great subterranean sea of salt water was
struck, and the briny torrent came strag.
gling up around the augur, and shot into the
air some eight or ten feet. It has since
flowed strongly and steadily, and with great
lorce and increasing strength, forming a
briny rivulet. It is believed by the experts
who have Been the flow that when the augur
is withdrawn and tubing inserted a stream of
water will be projected from the well to the
height of fifty feet, making it the most mag
nificent artesian well of salt water in the
world. Council Bluffs (Iowa) Nonpareil.
