HI address of welcome In hehalf of the
citizens or New Orleans, In I&I7, te the re
turning Mexican veluuteerK, tlieiiRh entirely
extern Kiraneeu, was one of the nieat en
trancing rhetorical IIIrIiih ever listened te.
In ItseiiLHiit hn addresses them :
"Ne leiiKer de you tread upon hostile
Hheru nor ki upon foreign skies. I'se'e1!!

Ne lurking loe waylaya you In the liupeii

bleed- but the gr.ie which comes from the
battery or the iMiuiuet."
Further en, referring te the alacrity with
which the vnluiitoerH hail fallen into ranks,
making up the army for the Mexican cam
ialgu, he said :
"Indeed, It Is a nohle sight for thogetmm
of thl great republiu te bohelil atthec.ill et
the country w hele armies leap forth lit battle
array; anil then when their nervlce.1 lira no
longer needed, fill iiiietly buk and com

had swallowed them up. Hut they are net

that we have, whenever occasion calls, two

Welcome then cillreu soldiers. Welceme

The conclusion of thl rapturous address
was In the following lines :
"Gallant gentlemen, you will seen leave

fend nnd grateful hearts await you. Yeu

and nirectlen, The Ismllre are already

TIIK WILKINSON HI'CIH'lt.
Hut perhaps dm most iietisl ollertnf Mr.
I'renlls was the speech for tlin defense In
tlin celnhrahsl Wilkinson inunler trial nt
HiirriHlsliiirg, Ky In KW, nt the agu of

Judge Kewaii, one el tlin lawyers In the
case, III referring te the sfiennh, remarked
that Mr. Prentiss had gene te Mississippi an
obscure ixxlitgogue; thou corroding himself,
he added :
"Ne I cannot ssy he was efufiirc. He
could net be otiseure any where. The enii
tUe II lilies of his great mind, like these or
Ktun, threw a lilare et light around him,
which attracted, or rather exacUsI, thelr gaze
and admiration."

been secured for the prisoners, te tnke part
In their defense. The sjieech In its entirety
I pronounced by any nuiutsir of Jurist n
the ablest exposition of the principles et
self-defense ever nintssllisl lu se many
nges, mid this In a couching el such imagery
of language us Is seldom read.
Keferrliig te the prejudice that had pro pre
alltd ngainst his clients Immediately niter
the homicide In Louisville, he said te the
Jury:
"Passle.i mid prejudice poured kIeh
Inte the public eir. Popular feeling was
loused into inadueHs. It wa with the IK IK

winter wind, that played melancholy music
thtnugh the rusty grates, was drowned by
thn ilnrcn hnwllng'et the huiiiau wolves, who
prowled and bayed around their place of

Commenting upon the testimony of one
Oldham, who was known te liave drawn a

ilurlug theallrny, and yet who sworn that lie
w.i unai'ipialiiusl vlih anil Imbssl had
never amm either et the ilufeudanls, Mr.
Prentiss slid :
"Hurelv Mr. Henry Oldham inns' he the
Knight flrranter the ngn, tlie Den (JuUote
of Hi" West, the piragouef mislern chivalry.
"He lights, net Irem bise desire of en
geauce, nor from sordid love of geld, net
kmui from pitrlelism nnd friendship, but
from it higher and loftier sentiment: from
hi pure, ardent, disinterested, unsephisti
cated love of glorious strife. Like Jeb s wni

te lh sound or the trumiiet hesilth ha, ha'
" Yeu have heard, gentlemen, of the bright,
warm iles which gem the oriental s-us, and

An ludivldiiil Isssimeshe rullefllghtth.it he

si mil ir te that lerni w lilcti M r. Oldham vv Ipcd
the bhxsl with his pocket handkerchief, and
rushing into the public streets, wounds nnd
slajs iiidistTtmln.itelv among the crowd. It
Is true, that this gallant exploit always re
sults in the death of the ersen isirl'ernilng
It; tlie people of the country entertaining n
roellsh notion tliat it I t(K) dangerous nnd ex ex ex
poiiHlve it mrsle of cultivating national
bravery. llu in the pre-out instance, 1
trust till rule will Is) relaxed. Mr. Oldham
Is the only specimen we isissesh of this pocu pecu
llar habit of the spice Islands, mul he should
be preserved a a curiosity.
" Hut, alas, the age of chivalry has geno by ;
nnd In the mirrermancu of mv duty, I fear 1
shall have te exhibit some lltlle defects In thu
character of Oldham, calculated lu thl cen
sorious day te detract from hi general merits.
" It was wltii great pain, 1 reel constrained
te say, (for he Is it sort of favorite of mine),
tliat telling Ihetrutli Isnoteuoofhls knightly
accomplishments, and tint his lioreui conduct
in the nil ray at the Cult house was nothing
mero nor les-, according te his own story,
than n downright cowardly attempt nt assas
sination. " According te his own account el thn mat
ter, he acted the part el n Uise mul cowardly
asf-.isslu. If he tells tlie trutli, lie is an as.is
Hlnnting villain : If he (loes net, he Is a per
jured villain. 1 leave him clinlce of these
two horns of the dilemma, though I doubt
net the latter i the one upon which he is des
tined tn hang. I cannot believe In thu exis
tence of such a monster us he would make
himself out te be; and have ollered his con
duct te you as evidence of the existence or a
conspiracy, mid et his jurtlclpatieu lu it"
IHK LAW Of NATl'IIK.
The prosecution laid considerable stress en
the fact that Jiulge Wilkinson had engaged
lu the ail ray Isslorehe, himself, had been as
saulted. Upen Hoeing thu mob attack his
bruther and young Murdaugli, Judge Wilk
inson went valiantly te their rescue. Mr.
Prentiss argued that, with his tun cempan
ions overjioworod, Judge Wilkinson was
Juslllled in expecting that the whole force of
the assailanls would next turn en him : that
" he had n right te "prevent, liy anticipating
It, violence iiKiu hi own persen ; hu had a
right te defend hi friend, nnd it was Ills
sacreu inny te protect ins brother's lire."
Theu he Mils out with rhetorical Hags Hying

llAVi: you read ImfcJV JuurnuU It Is a
most provoking book ; and nt the same tlme n
innsl charming ene. What I cannot under
stand iihnut It Is Its popularity. It lias only
riH-eully been published, lu excellent form,
from r.ngllsh plates mid en line lmgllsh
pHr, by Messrs. M.icmlllnu iV Ce., of New
Yerk, nml Immndlnlely nlUlned a rntnark
nbln HiiccnSH. " Kverylieily hn read It"
And yet It I lu no minion workel which ene
would have predicted such n jsipular success.
It cnntaln nothing Hensatlenal, no rovola revola rovela
llonsof the "Inner history" of a IiisUh'eaI
porled, of ii family, or evon In the erdlnir
sense of mi Individual, and that Is what
usually makes such "journals" popular.
Indeed Ills net In nny xone n memoir, or
diary of external events; It tells next te
nothing or tlin doings or prominent or of
ebsciHii people, nnd throws little new light
iiu thn porled during which It was written,
from HI1) te IMI. It Is net even a connected
narrative or nny thing; unr does It contain
anything like a system of philosophy, or
theory or nrt. Hut It Is simply a record el
tlie cenlllctlng thoughts and feelings, the
varying moods and relloctlens, or a man who,
nt least until ihe publication or his Journal,
lifter hi (loath, was unknown le fame, nnd
desorvedly he, ler he nover did anything
famous, In ract nover did anything nt all of
nny account, either In aclonce, philosophy,
nrt, literature, or nuy ether depirtment or
life.
That Is the provoking part about It for
this Journal shows en every page Hint the
writer might have Isvome eminent in almost
nny spliore he could have chesen. He had
nil the oxternnl ndvnntages nnd opportuni
ties, nml overy gifl and talent of mind, was
an original and most profound thinker, a
diligent student, thoroughly qiullued as far
an mental power nnd attainments wero con
cerned te have beonme n great philosopher, a
statesman, nil authority In science, a brilliant
artist keen critic, or a most useful nnd do de
lightful author. He could have enriched the
world lenu lndonultedegroo. llutheslmply
didn't More than ence I uavobeen tompted
lniitlently te threw his book, aslde. Ne
man has a right tn hlde his tnlent In n n
kln and bury it It is little short of rebbery
te withheld from our fellow men the fruit or
abilities mid lowers wlilcli nre given us for
the sole purpese or using them for the
world's benellt. The tree that refuses te
liear H cut down, or ought te be.
And yet, when I am charmed with the
deep truths 1 llml en nearly overy page or
Amicl'x Journal, and delighteil with the
gem et literary nrt that are thickly Hcatlerid
through It, 1 nm thankful that this nuther at
least was net cut down any soenor than he
wa. PerhaiH, after all, spin e trees are net
meant se much te glve us tlmir frulU whlle
allve as te glve ns the results of their life
long grewtli after they are dead. The ma
hogany has n real n value as the apple tree.
Ke nt toast Amlel thought vv hen he ndepted
thl rule hir himself, and carried It out in 111
Jenrmili "Let the living live; nml you
gather together j our thoughts, leave behind
you ii legacy et feeling nnd Ideas; you will
lie most useVul he." And se It is that n h's
friefd M. Scherer wrole: "The man who,
during bis lifetime, was ineaiia'iloer giving
us any dellts-ratn or conscious work worthy
or Id's mvvnrs, hvs new lett us, alter his
death, n Isvek which will net dle." Ye, It
is "a Isiek which will net die; but nt the
mum Hunt I reel like applying te the author
hlmseir the werdslie usesel Chateaubriand's
"Hene": "Instead of taking a passion for
Kene Aniiel, ruture generations will scorn
nml weudur nt him ; Instant efu here they
will sen in him m pathological case; but the
work itselr, like the Sphinx, will endura"
We can pity but net respect nor even ro re ro
memtsr with admiration, a man who, gllted
heveud most men, and thoroughly equipped
hir a long and lelty senlce et his fellow
men, could consciously und deliberately set
lilmseir te doing nothing through his entire
liretimn save te record his dally thoughts
mul reelings; who could contentedly say or
hlinell: "Satisfied, with the jieicer te act, I
nover arnve at the will te act" It may
have linen ndiseased moral character, but te
me itssems mere like an unjustifiable cow
ardice, lern man knowingly te shirk, te try
le run away from reqeusibilily, te remse te
net for Icar of his responsibility ler every
action. And thnt Is vvlnt Amlel appears te
have done nil tlie time. He continually
speaks or" the terrible rmpeinlbillty which
weighs upon us all"; and cenfesses: " Uo Ue Uo
spensibllity Is my Inv isible nlghUuare."
Pinnt.vrs It is net fairle say that Aniiel
deliberately choe his life of unproductive
ness. At least he did net de It willingly,
nor without a (loop sonMief its unworthlness.
Ill this a. much as anything thai gives a
kind or plaintive, remorseful, melancholy
tone te all his relloctlens, n tene that colors
Willi a soinbre hue the greater part et tlie
lioek. " My friends," he bitterly exclaim,
"see what I might have been ; I soe what 1
nm." A .id again: "Te whom nnd le what
have 1 been tisemif Will my name survive
inn a single day, nml will it ever mean any
thing te mivliedy? A life of no ueeeimi!
Whim nil" 1 added up nothing 1"
Whlle el the Journal he cries : " It will 1
iiselul te nobody, and even for myself it has
ratlier helped me te shirk lile than te prac
tice It"
Wllti.it I certiinly don't ngrcewitli htm
that thn .feiiriidf "will Imu-elnl te nobody,"
but believe just the contrary, tills does net
Niilllciently explain te my mind why It
should se speedily have beeome Immensely
popular; rer, as the translator f-ays lit the
unusually Interesting Introduction, it con cen
tains scarcely anything ' but the confidences
or a solitary thinker, the meditations of a
philosopher ter whom the things of the soul
were the sovereign roalitles of existence"
All the whlle that I was nsUiug myself this
question, however, 1 found mjelt reading
w lib iivhlil v n.isre alter luge, thoroughly nb
serbed lu the book, unwilling te step until
the very last page had been turned. And 1
suppose thai is overyouo's experience.
Hence tlie success and popularity or the
lioek.
lli'T that still does net answer the Inquiry,
Why does it Interest nnd charm ene he? 1
nm net going te attempt an answer myself;
but will let the reader lilutstir imsvver It
Tell me, ler Instance, why you are charmed
by n picce or poetical description like this,
Uken ul random from a multitude of similar
ones :
"St. Martin's summer isstlll lingering, und

question he rar as Hiich passages are con
cerned. Hut they, alter all, are only found
Incidentally lu the volume. Tlie bulk et it,
where the nuther escajsn from his Intro
spective self-analysis, Im taken up with
literary nml nrt criticism, nml especially
with proleiuul philosophical rdloctleus, like
tins;
"We have tee much barbarian bleed in our

grace. Christianity, lu breaking man up

Onr lu etten surprised by the striking
timeliness of many of Amlel'a reflections.

Most Krench, (lerinan, and even Minn
Knglisli authors are touched upon, and all In
nmanner that at ence shows in Atnlel nil
tlie quallllcntlens of a llterary crltle of the
very highest order. Loek, for Instance, at
this judgment of Victer Huge, after reading
his Ies Mlserables :
"The erudition, tlin talent, the brilliancy
of execution, shown lu the book are astonish
ing, bewildering almost Its faults are te tie
found in the enormous length allowed te
digressions nnd episedical dissertations, in
the exaggeration of nil the combinations nnd
all the thntes, and, Dually, In something
strained, spasmodic, and violent in the style,
which 1 very dlllereut from the style of
natural cloqiience or of essential truth.
Kflect Is the misfortune of Victer Huge,
becausohe makes It thecentre of hlsipsthetlc
system ; and hence exaggeration, monotony
el etnphasls, theatricality of manner, a tend
ency te force and ever drive. A powerful
artist, but ene with whom you nover forget
the nrtlst; nnd n dangerous model, for the
master himself I already grazing the rock
of hurlesque, and pas0i rrdm the sublime
te tlie repulsive, from lack or pewer te pro pre
(luce ene harmonious Impression of lieaufy.
It is natural enough thai hn should detest
llaclne. Victer Hnce draws In
sulphuric acid, he lights hi pictures with
electric light He deafens, blinds, and be
wilders his rcailer rather than he charms or
porsuades him. The only thing
which seems tmposjlble te him is tn bu
nntural. lu short, his passion I grandeur,
his fault Is excess: his distinguishing mark
Is u kind of Titanic power with strange ills ills ills
sonancesorpueritily In lis magulllcence."
Could any estlmate of Huge be mero
exactly Just and true 7 And think of It, a
Frenchman te write he discriminatingly et
the great idol or Trance I
WhvtiIe our Wuguer-wershlppers say
te this?
"Wagner's Is a powerful mind endowed
with strong tKetical sonsltlvenoss. His work
Is even mere poetical than musical. The
suppression of the lyrical olemont, nnd there
fore et melody, Is with htm n systematic
jKirfi 7n. Ne mero dues or tries ; mono
logue und the rtriu nre alike doneaway with.
Tliere remains only declamation, the recita
tive, and the choruses. In onler te avoid
the conventional In singing, Wagner lalls
Inte another convention that or net singing
nt all. He HiilKirdlnntes the vnlce te nrticil
late Hrsxs'li, nnd Ter tear lest the muse should
Uiketlight hecllps hnr wings. Se that his
works are rather symphonic) dramas than
operas. Tlie volce Is brought down te the
rank el mi Instrument, put an a level with
the violins, the hautbevs, nnd the drums,
and treated iiistrtiuientully. Man Is deposed
from his siqsirier jiosltleii, and the centre of
gravity of the work passes Inte the baton
of tlie conductor. It Is inusle de-persen-all7d
nee Hegellan music music multiple
Instead or individual, ir this I se, It Is In
deed the music or the ruture, the music of
the socialist deuiccracy replacing the art
which ii aristocratic, heroic, or subjective."
WnvTKViin our musicians may think of
his estimate of Wagner, they will all appro appre appro
clnte the exquisite discriminative sense dis
played liu his oempirison of Mozart and
Heethnven, called forth by hearing a concert
in which compositions of both these masters
were rendered :
"Their individuality seemed te liecotue
plain tn me: .Mozart grace, liberty, cer
tainty, freedom, and precision of style, nil
exqulslte and aristocratic beauty, serenity
of hetil, the health and talent of the master,
both en a level with his genius : Heethevcu
mere pathetic, mere passionate, mere
tern with feeling, mero Intricate, mero pro
found, less ported, mero tlie slaxe of his
genius, mero carried away by his fancy or his
passion, mero moving und mero sublime
than Mozart. Mozart refreshes you, like the
Dialogues of Plate ; he respects you, reveals
te you your strength, gives you freedom and
ualauce. lioeineven seize upon you ; no is
mere tragic and oratorical, whlle Mozart is
mero disinterested and poetlcnl. Mozart Is
mere Greek, and Heothevon mero Christian.
One is serene, the otlier serious. The first is
strenger than destiny, because he takes llfe
less profoundly ; the second Is less strong,
U'caue he has dared te measure hlmsell
against deeper sorrows. Ills talent is net
always equal te his genius, aud pathos Is
his dominant reature, as perfection I that el
Mozart In Mozart thu bilance el the whele
is period, nml art triumphs; lu Heethnven
feeling geverns overything, and emotion
troubles tils art in proportion a it deepens
it"
I puiipr.K te believe that it is te the
beauties aud striking truthfulness of pas
sages such ns I have quoted, ntid of which
the Journal is packed full, that this lioek
owns most of its popularity ; rather than te
what Mrs. Ward attributealt in her introduc
tion. It may Indeed be that " he Is the type
of a generation universally touched with
doubt, mid yet as seiultlvu te the need or
faith as any that have geno befere It"; but
the mood of the generation is 'different, and
the tone or it thought, from that et AuileL
And 1 cannot but feel that it Is healthier and
mero manly. We read and udmirenud are
greatly prohted by the Journal, net because
efits morbidly hell-bewalllug anil introspoo intrespoo introspeo

oftheiu. We are willing te put up with the
weak, irresolute, timid aud unmanly person

sake of the graces et style, Iroshness et
thought, and oxquUite touches of a most
rellued sensibility, that are manifest through
out Its criticisms ch.iractorlritletis, and des

Victer Kmmanuel, among hl peculiari
ties, was a tremendous eater, and preferred
te take his meala In the strictest privacy and
with the most entlre freedom from re
straint. Often, when he was only King of
Piedmont, he would have all the dishes put
en the lable at once, and then send away all
Ihn servants. At such times he would rat
wllh his ellsiws en Iho table, upsetting the
salt en the cloth, that he might the mere
easily dip Inte It the little raw onions which
he was an fend of, and which he used te nlb nlb
ble nil through thn dinner. The quantity
that he could eat was ainarlng. On one or
his hunting trips he and his companions

night At supper they had veal cutlets.
After the meal was ever, the klngliirned tn

en a bit or imilleness, and replied, "Twe or

the ethers in turn, aud they all out of ro re
siiect similarly underestimated his exploits,
until he came te a Savoyard, who had no re
