J+tiscclla►icou~. Bruit e n Uuteu IS= When Edward Myilleton first felt the conviction borne in upon hint that, if he would wear spurs at all, he must win them by his own unaided ellbrts, lie, having hitherto been accustomed to a career of unlimited consideration front other people, felt considerably depress ed. It was hard on him; even those who liked hint least allowed that, after having been permitted to think himself his uncle Sir Ralph's heir for twenty live years, an unexpected and legitimate cousin should a. ise when that uncle died, to dispute possession and finally wrest it front him. The young man, who hail always reeived a good allowance front Sir Ralph, and been treated by that deceitful old reprobate in all respects as Iris successor, was by this unwelcomead ven t of the rightful heir thrust out into the world penniless and positionless.— Ile had been given no profession, be cause lie Was the heir. Ile had never been counselled, because he was - the heir. He had been taught to look upon himself as one of the most important men in the country, beettuse . fie was the heir. And now, it twenty-live, he sud denly found himself cast very much adrift, and entirely upon his own re sources. They were not very trustworthy ones, the poor young fellow had every reason to fear. His education had been a very good one, according to the general ac ceptation of the term. And, indeed, in one sense it had been an exceedingly good one for his case, for he had never been taught to do anything definite, and now there was nothing definite be fore him to do. • In the first flush of his misfortunes lie was buoyed up by the thought or the multiplicity of his friends! He told himself confidently that their name was legion, forgetting that he had been the future baronet when they last declared themselves, and that he was only a chevalier of fortune now. Poor young fellow! that Illusion was quickly dis pelled. He discerned the chilled inter est very speedily, and he WIN lint made of the maternas that strive to warm a chilled interest up. In his days of prosperity any number or people stood well to the fore, profess ing their readiness to get him some good diplomatic appointment, " for which your manner and culture so eminently lit you, Mr. Mydleton." But now, though his manner and culture were In no wise altered, his former would-be benefactors were. They stood afar off and didn't. see his necessity. And lie, scorning to apprise them of It more fully soon found himself In the position of a penniless roan wanting a place. tioinething Inconsiderable was onred to him once or twice under government. A subordinate position at the Post-ollice, a third clerkship at a hundred and twenty pounds a year at Lhe Admiralty, an 111-remunerated consulship in sonic plagui-stricken spot abroad. But he de clined all of these, and drifted into lit erature as HO many of the guild do drift, partly because they have ability, partly because they have ambition, partly be cause they have misplaced confidence In themselves and the public, anal prin cipally because they have need ! He was naturally bright ; he was well cultivated ; he had the trick of turning sentences; lie was indefatigable ; he was conversant with the tone of thought of the day ; and, above all, he was spurred on by the sense of a Wrong. He didn't exactly mark an epoch in jour. nalistic literature, but lie did something that was not altogether despicable! That is, he wrote leaders that the public cared to read, and that the proprietors of the paper he was employed upon cared to pay for. llow men of his calibre live and move and have their being, anti write what is lit to read. is a marvel. lle was one of a class, annul his career is a typical one. He began the day with gin-and-bitters. He ended it with brandy-and-soda. He rushed backward and forward from his ill-favored lodgings in Camden Town to the printing-office, in the Strand, in handsome cabs when he hada few shil lings; in omnibuses when he had only sixpence ; on foot when, as oftenest hap pened, he had nothing. And sometimes it seemed to lion that success was easy of attainment, so readily made, and so hard to mar. And at other dines It seemed as if the goal could never be gained, as if the race was not to the swift and strong like himself, but to the feeble, effete, like the—successful ones. Alter nately, indeed, he was in hope and de spair, and when he was in despair lie went to man's worst, most subtle com forter—the brandy-flask. Not for inspiration! The brilliant young fellew was never fool enough to delude himself with the notion that he owed a single idea tq the hateful enemy who wits so seductiVe. He drank be cause he was unhappy and tired very often—forgetting that, when he snook off the effect of the drink, he would be more unhappy and tired still. At times his to-morrow mornings were very ter rible to him—so terrible that he would vow solemn vows, and keep them for a while, that never again would he put an enemy into his mouth to steal away his brains. But, when the time of temp tation came, he would be too weak to resist. And, " after all," he soon came to argue, as his feelings got blunted, " what did it matter? There was no one to care for him I" Acoupleof yearspassed over his bead, and, at the end of them, Teddy Mydle ton, as he was familiarly called at the "Arteandanother well kuown literary club to which he belonged, was an es tablished, popular, flourishing journal ist. To a certain extent it may be true, that wise saw about "literature being a good walking-stick, but a bad crutch." But, on the whole, I hold it true that the man, or woman either, who devotee him ii litairrti7Otet VOLUME 72 or herself unreservedly and entirely and thoroughly to literature, stands a better chance of winning the honors and re wards than do those who have the feel ing that they need not work. Mr. My dletou had literally no other interests to clash with those that engaged him in climbing up Parnassus. To write and make money was the object with which he had started. He had come now to love the writing for the writing's sake, independent of the money to be made by means of it. During these two years he had drifted quite out of reach of theset that knew him when he was the heir to Sir Ralph's title and estate. He had drifted out of that set, and had become a member of an infi nitely poorer, cleverer, more amusing one. Literary men and women may have a thousand faults which are un pardonable in Philistine eyes. But there is about them this redeeming trait—when they Meet together, they do not bore 'each other; but, on the con trary,they quicken each other's wits; and of what other class of society can a similar thing be said with truth ? Brisk as the demand was for his arti cles, and well paid for as they were, the habits of his former life kept him a poor man. it was so natural for him to in dulge in handsome and good cigars and champagne, that the not doing so was a virtue he never practised if he could help it. Consequently be had been obliged to house himself frequently in lodgings that were distasteful t-) him, about in various shy neighborhoods such as Camden Town and Chelsea, and even, once when work was slack, out at Cam berwell, where he got the blue devils to such an extent that his readerfs declared his style deteriorated considerably, and public mention of his mune was less fre quent and honorable than of yore. But now, after two years' trial of the tile:Nitres and pains of aliteray life, the son shone upon him In regard to this ..p ee pd subject of a local habitation. A ti lend laic, a clever and successful young dramatist, anti editor of one of the many 01'11'1! papers which London supports, committed what Mydleton felt at first to he the dire mistake of marry ing. The boy would have done well, sir," Teddy would say, oracularly, at the Arts, " but he's done for himself now ; she's some parson's daughter from the mutt try, and she'll be wanting our friend to write tracts and teach In Sunday - schools. Ile's [nails a mistake, and we shall Hotter for it, for there Isn't another fellow going who can write a comedy that will keep us awake." And they (the listeners) gave vent to brief ejaculations expressive of their va rious degrees of sorrow at the untimely fate which had befallen Vincent Bourn. But Vincent Bourn went on his way, and sonic of them felt that way to be not altogether despicable when they were after a time asked town and made wel come to the tent Vincent Bourn had set up fur himself in comfortable, secluded, picturesque, and altogether delightful Hans' Place. They had established themselves in a corner-house, with a balcony in front of its rounded window. And the balcony and the house were covered with Virginia-creeper and old memories. For "L. E. h." had often gathered leaves from the plant, anti had lounged in the balcony with coin,' favor ed friend. And Lady Morgan, and Lady Blessington, and, a mightier still, Mrs. Norton herself, had crossed the thresh old. All of which facts threw quite a halo of romance around her abode in young Mrs. Bourn's imagination, she having, as she was wont to explain. " only known one author before she met Vin ny, and that was papa, and, of course, his were not like things that were read, you know." Which ingenious explana tion was a simple statement of the truth, the reverend gentleman's published ef forts being modem ned to what was doubtless most unmerited obscurity. 'Phis new member of the fraternity was a very fair one. Vincent had fall en in love with her in the course of a pedestrian tour he had taken the previ ous autumn. Her fresh, bright beauty had fascinated him as lie sat at the win dow of a village-inn one day, waiting for the everlasting eggs and bacon to lie cooked for his refreshment. He found on inquiry that she was the rector's daughter, and he at once developed an artistic desire to stay and sketch the church and rectory from various points of view. Being an .energetic young felkiw, he soon carried the fortress. His name already sounded as a rising man, and he had very little trouble in mak ing Ueorgie Deue believe him to be the greatest literary light of the day. " You may have her, if you can main tain her," her father tolddiim.. And now Vincent, having satisfacto rily proved that he could do this, had her to himself up in Hans Place. "1 hope you'll like (leorgie," the young husband said, rather anxiously, to Edward Mydleton, when the latter presented himself in Mrs. Bourn's little drawing-room for the first time. lie was there by invitation to dine at seven, and (leorgie was considerately delaying making' her appearance in or der to give the old friends a few mo ments. " Oh, I'm sure, to, old fellow," Ted dy, said, politely. "The chances are that she won't ince me; wives always want their husbands to give up the bad habits of their bachelorhood, you know. I expect to be denied a place In your memory, together with the ballet-girls, and cigars, and clubs, and oyster-suppers, of the past. You have got everything very Jolly about you, old boy," he continued, half-envy ingly, tcc he looked round ut the dainty, graceful arrangement of the room. "It makes a fellow feel the barrenness of Ills own life the more," lie was adding, when he heard a woman's light step, and the rustle of a dress, and Mrs. Bourn came M. lie had expected the country clergy man's daughter to be more or Tess tante and uninteresting, even if she happened to be pretty, which Vincent had raving ly declared her to be. There stood be fore him now a bright-faced, charming ly self-possessed girl of three-or four and-twenty, who met his outstretched hand cud his eyes quite frankly and cordially at once, with the words: '•Vinuy and you are like brothers, he tells me. I hope you'll extend the fra ternal feeling to me." And front that moment Teddy My dleton had 'that sav ing power in his life, a pure woman's friendship. " But I fear—U Vinny, I do fear so much that he's going the downward path fast!" she said mournfully to her husband in the course of a conversation some feW I non ths after th is. "He came in last night after you had gone to the theatre,and he wasn't as:he ought tohave been ; and, when he saw me look sorry, he said : ' What does it matter, Georgie? I'm only a useless, idle fellow; the sooner I do for myself the better.''' " Yes, he's down on his luck," her husband said, sadly. "Poor, dear old Ted ! I wish we could do something for him. You see, he has made an awful mess of it lately on all sides, been late with copy, and written when he couldn't think, much less write coherently; and the end of it is, that both the .Scarifier and The Doily intelligence have dropped him." "0 Finny! and he has no home to go to to be comforted ! "Georgie said, pa thetically. " My heart bled for him last night; he has come from such a height that he must always feel his degrada tion more keenly than those men do who owe all the social status they have to their own intellect ; he is a gentle• man born, and now he has to herd with inferiors who tolerate him. He nearly broke my heart last night by saying he expected we should hear of him as found dead in a gutter one day, perhaps the sooner the better." • " go and look after him this even ing," Vincent said, meditatively. He was considerably wrought upon by that statement of his wife's relative to Alyilleton's reckless depression, and he longed to help the poor, desolate fel low. But how to do it ? There was the rub ! He (Vincent himself) was only a worker, and -a, very hard worker, too.— He knew quite well that he would not dare to offer pecuniary aid to the man who had been the heir to thousands a year, and about whom the traditions of class were strong. And other aid would be valueless at present, while he was steeped in that bitter sense of want which is the hard portion of those who are compelled to count even in the farthings, much more the pennies. So that evening, in pursuance of his plan, Vincent Bourn started earlier than was his wont, in order that he might drop in and see Edward Mydle ton, before the exigencies of his position as a dramatic critic compelled him to put in an appearance at the new bur lesque. It was six o'clock, and the fire was burning dimly in the small grate of the room into which Vincent Bourn pene trated in search of his friend. some papers and manuscript folios were scat tered about the table in the middle of the room, and over the sofa, where My dieton was lounging, with a pipe in his mouth. "At work, old fellow ?" Vincent asked, cheerily, coming in with a glow of fresh air and animation about him, in the vain hope of the latter being con tagious. "No," Mydleton said, scarcely rais ing his head, and holding a hot hand out to his friend. - _ " Will you come and see Gilbert's new piece with me, then " I'm hardly in condition to enjoy a burlesque; thank you," Mydleton said, rousing himself up, and looking straight forward with hard, haggard eyes. " have done nothing all day but smoke and drink—S. and B. Gilbert's sub tleties would be wasted on me." "Sow, look here, Ted," Vincent Bourn said, gravely and kindly, putting his hand on the other one's shoulder to give force to his words; " Georgie and I have been talking about you—" " Bless her kind little heart !" Mydle ton interrupted, with a sob in his voice. " And I've a notion she won't be too well pleased with me If I don't manage to cheer you up to night," the other man went on, without noticing the in terruption. "Come and dine with me at the Arts, Ted, and then we'll drop in for the burlesque." Mydleton shook his head, and mut tered a gloomy negative to the proposi tion. " What are you going to do ?" Vin cent persisted. " Nothing." " Now, look here, old fellow ; if you won't talk to me, go and talk to Geor gie ; you'll be the better for it." " I'm a worthless fellow, Vinny ; but Pin not bad enough to go and insult your wife by my presence when I'm screwed—at least, not when I know I'm screwed. Leave me to myself, old boy." "'l'ed, will you let ine help you?" The otter was made almost stammering- " I'm pretty well beyond all help," Ted suld, savagely; " I urn ut the end of my resources, and those fellows don't seem to want any more of my lubrica tions." "'fry another paper," Vincent Hall, hopefully. " With your talent you'll hare It all your own way In time." :Nlytileton smiled bitterly.. " My dear boy, the next ellin•t I make will be to get a few paltry shillings for more of this," (lie touched the empty brandy-bottle as he spoke), "and a very little more of it will do for me ; I have lost not only ambition and hope, but se' f-respect also. I'm broken down, Vinny,'' he concluded, with another of those sudden sobs that are so inexpress ibly touching when they are uttered in what the listener feels must be awful mental agony. " Be a man, Ted, be a man," Vincent Bourn spoke with tears in his eyes, and a falter in his voice, but he was not the less a man fur the fact; "ben man, 'led —shake off this depression, it's a snare of the devil's; shake it ott, and don't shun women like my wife. I must go to the theatre, for I'm pledged to have a column on the burlesque to morrow ; but you go to her now, and let her help you, will you 7„ " I'll try to," Ted promised, and then his friend left him. But Mrs. Bourn saw nothing of him that night. " If he roused himself even now, he could bowl the majority of his rivals out of the field," Vincent said to his wife about a fortnight after this; "but he's letting himself drift down the stream at a fatal pace; he began a novel some time ago, and it opened brilliantly, but he won't touch it; he's no motive he says, no incentive. I wish you could get hold of him, (teorgie, he's very fond of you, and he'll go to the bad at a gallop if some one won't stop him." Mrs. Bourn made no answer iinmedi ately, but after a thoughtful pause she said: " Finny deur, it's dull for me some times when you're away all day, isn't "Poor little woman," he said, caress ing her, "yes, I am afraid it is." "You have heard me speak of my cousin Helen Steele " Yes. She's a pretty cousin, isn't she?" "Pretty ! she's the loveliest girl I ever saw in my lire, Vincent," she said, en thusiastically. " I should like you to see her; let me ask her to come and stay with us.". " With all my heart," he answered, and so the matter was settled. •' I hope I'm doing right," Georgie said to herself in a flutter of nervous excitement when the visitor arrived. •• It's rather a case of playing with fire I'm afraid," she added, dubiously, as she went forward to meet her guest, and the glorious beauty of the girl burst upon her afresh. The young lady had travelled up from her country-home in a black-velveteen suit, and a black-velvet turban-hat, un• der which her violet eyes and golden hair gleamed wondrously. the was a splendid beauty, but she was something more—a charming, wise, witty woman; and Ueorgle trembled to think of ho iv many men m ust already adore this "aid" whom she had summoned to develop a little scheme of her own. " We don't lead at all the sort of life that we used to think was London life when we were girls together, Nell," Mrs. Bourn explained to her cousin that night. " Vincent Writes all day, and we go to the theatre very often, and some ()fills men friends dine with us con stantly ; that's about all the society we go Into. I hope you'll not lind It dull." 1 infinitely prefer men friends to women friends," Helen laughed ; "tell me about them, Georgie. Fancy your being a literary man's wife! it's too funny; tell me about some of your blooming celebrities." " And then there's the best and clev erest of them all, Edward Mydleton," Georgie wound up with, after a long dis sertation on the merits, looks, personal appearance, and works, of many mem bers of the fraternity to which her hus band belonged. "Edward Mydleton ; I don't know his name In print," Helen said, yawn ing. "No, because lie's been writing for the press only hitherto," Georgie ex plained, eagerly; but he has it In him tom ph- mark, Vinny says, if 9„tdy he wo' - ' Oh. " Now lie beautifully calm, and wise, ant rerent about him, Nell," Georgie d. "Nell I be enthusiastic when he has is mark, but I can't be fore that, can I 7" " Yes, you can, when you have seen him ; he's much handsomer than the majority of literary men. As a rule, they run small and plain, I think ; but he's such a tine young fellow, and his fate has been so hard." Ann then, having fairly aroused her cousin's anxiety, Mrs. Bourn pro ceeded to tell the story of Edward My dleton's loss of/rank and property. "And he lives by his pen now"" Helen asked thoughtfully. " Ye-es, yes," Ueorgie replied, con fusedly. "Is he making his fortune fast, like the typical hero in distress? " "No." " Why isn't he? 0 Georgie, Georgie! I suspect he's not half as clever as you try to make him out; if he were, of course he would make his fortune ; peo ple always can if they go the right way to work, can't they ?" " Then he certainly is not going the right way to work," Georgie said, hotly. Then she remembered herself. She must not be over-zealous about 'red, or Helen would become suspicious. "The fact is," she explained, lamely. " both Vincent and I are so very fond of him, that we are huffy if other people don't appreciate him to the full at once." " When shall I see your friend, Georgie?" " I hardly know; I haven't seen him myself for a fortnight," Georgie said, gravely. Then she added, wistfully, "Nell, I want your help." "I'll give it; in what way ?" Miss Steele answered, in a little tone of sur prise. " I want you to show an interest and to feel an interest in Ted Myd4eton." " My dear Georgie, you forget," the beauty said, drawing herself up, "you are a privileged matron, and can do what you please ; but I should lay my self open to the charge of all sorts of ab surdities if I went about showing an in terest, and feeling an interest, in every young journalist who has known better days." And then the two cousins coughed, and kissed, and parted for the night. And Mrs. Bourn put her head LANCASTER, PA., WEDNESDAY•MORNING SEPTEMBER 20, 1871. on the pillow with the conviction. that she had blundered. • " Ask Ted to dine with us to-night," Mrs. Bourn said, as her husband was rushing off the next morning ; don't tell him that there is any one here." And so, at seven that evening Mydleton sauntered into Georgie's little drawing room. The fire was the only light in the room, and the hostess was alone, when he came in, sitting on the fender-stool, buried in thought. She had made her little room as attractive as possible with flowers and fresh white•muslin cur tains. "It is well that he should feel what a charm women can throw about things with very little money" had been her thought while she had been making a judicious distribution of her few blooms of cyclamen and geranium and fern fronds. She was well awarded for the trouble she had taken, when he said : "How sweet and pure your room looks and smells, Georgie ! I haven't seen a flower since I was here last." " Ted ! why do you come so seldom?" She had jumped up and prisoned his hands in hers, and now she was hold ing him well into the light, in order to read his face. 0 Ted ! Ted ! will nothing make you careful of yourself? We love you so ; it is so hard on us that you won't take care," she said, mournfully noting the ravages that the last three weeks had made in his appearance. He stooped, and kissed her on the fore head. " You dear little thing," he said, "I'm not worth caring about, Georgie ;" and then, while she was energetically fight ing for him against himself, her cousin came Into the room. " Oh, I haven't told you yet that my cousin, Miss Steele, is with me," the small diplomatist said, carelessly; " this is our friend Ted, Helen—you may call him Ted, too, if you're good." "Some have honor thrust upon them," Helen said, saucily. " And there is such a thing as casting pearls of condescension away," Georgie laughed. " And there is such a thing as being put in the wrong place by one's best friends, Georgie," Mydleton said, quick ly ; and so they became very intimate and friendly without much trouble. " What's your programme to-night, little woman her husband asked of Georgie, in the middle of dinner. " The theatre, of course ; but which, I haven't settled." "There are three stalls for the Adel phi," he said, throwing the tickets across the table at her; " will they do ?" " Beautifully. Ted, you must go to look after us.'' " Won't that be tak Mg you away from your work?" Helen asked with honest Interest, and both Vincent and his wife blushed In sympathy with him, us he replied : "'Thank you; but I have no work to do." "No work ! I thought writers always had work to do; my idea of you all is, that printer's devils hover on your door steps perpetually," shti said, laughing, but watching his face keenly as she spoke. He shook his head miserably. Her tone of interest in him smote him to the heart, and lie could not bear to lower himself in her esteem by telling her that he was one of those whose work was not wanted. He could not bear to tell her this, and weaken, perhaps, the sympa thy with which she was looking at him sogently from out those sweet violet eyes. So he only shook his head and laughed feebly; and then the two ladies went away to get on their opera-cloaks. " Why have you done this, Georgie ?" He asked the question of Mrs. Bourn, who had rushed into her wrap and dash ed down-stairs again before Helen had had time to gain her room. " (lot Helen Steele here, do you mean she asked, picking up the gauntlet at once. " Yes ; I'm down already, and if I see more of her, it will only make my life more wretched than it is at present ; shall be sighing for a star—" " 0, Ted, work for her, don't sigh only," Georgie clamored. " Dear Ted, I'll confess; I have prayed for you to be what you say you are,'already 'down' before her; if you love her, as I hope you'll love her—" " Wouldn't she open those magnifi cent eyes of hers in astonishment at my presumption? No, no, Georgie, she's not for such as me—" " Ted, Ted, you pain me so—Vincent make him hear reason." " She looks like a Countess, little wo man ; and you want me, a ruined man, to fall in the error of loving her." Then she came into the room again, looking radiant, for she was much in terested by the manner and physique and conversation of this young literary man who had been the heir to a baron etcy, looking .radiant, and rather anx ious to note the etlbet tier looks had on him. It was a regular Adel phi drama that they went to see that night. There was a good deal of virtuous beauty in unmer ited distress, and a fair share of flour ishing villiany. Kate Terry illustrated the former, and all the world knowt what she can do with such a part. As any rate, she did a good deed that night for ehe helped these two young people to a better understanding of one an other, " such a novice In all these things," Helen whispered to Ted, while (ieorgie looked away, assiduously, and feigned unconsciousness of their pres ence; " so what I'm going to ask may be a very out-of-the-way thing; but I should so much like to read something of yours, and for you to lend it to me. Will you ?" "If I ever write anything worth reading, may I lay It at your feet, Miss Steele? if I ever write any thing worth reading, you will be the cause of my success—my goddess." These last words were whispered ; but she heard them—heard them, and did not resent them, stranger as ie was.— Their hearts had gone out to one an other already, each felt; and Georgie's heart palpitated with pleasure when she saw the stride affairs had taken as she ventured to look at them again. " Do you forgive me.." Cleorgie whis pered, when he was saying good-by to her that night. " I'll try to; I was a broken-dowu man when I came here to-night, bnt her beauty has made me a new man. I'll deserve her yet; try to keep her for me." Whether he deserved her or not, this much is certain, that he won her. He wrote a novel into which he threw his best, arid a publisher paid, and the crit ics praised, and the public admired, and she loved him for it!-,Tor it, or for something else. At all events, it was to his wife that he addressed those passion ate, pure lines of Edgar Allan Poe : "On desperate seas long wont to roam, Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic fare. Thy Naiad airs, have brought Inc lamp lo the glory that was Greece, And the grandeur that was Rome." A Gold Island 10 the West Indies Some three months since a small island, in the Carribean Sea, known as the Bimita and about eight hundred miles south of Trinidad, while being explored under the direction of Agassiz,a .4 found to contain gold. The rock is quartose, and quietly a few individuals obtained possession of the island, and these individuals—all Ameri can—will not dispose of any interest, al though last week several offers from Eng lish capitalists in London were received, information having reached them through the Custom House, as is supposed, although every arrangement had been made to keep the matter as quiet as possible. The gold is free and easily amalgamated, and in pu rity in veins in the quartz. Forty different veins have been discovered on the island, and five are now being worked, and the ore is being received from ships at the Centre ville Works, in Greenville, in Hudson county. The works are running night and day. The ore is now, with very imperfect machinery, yielding $6O per ton, and they are only getting one-third of the gold, but the " tailings " are being saved, with the view of running them through theimprov ed machine being constructed for. All the gold ore seen by our reporter, who tested the specimens just as dumped out on the wharf, will yield $lBO per ton. This great discovery is believed to be likely to build up a very important enterprise in Hudson county. The ore is as rich as the richest ores of California and Venezuela.—Pater son jN. J.) Guardian. r=! The Brazilian mails by steamer Cassini, from Rio de Janeiro on the 13th ult., at New York on the 7th instant, bring news that the government has carried the sec ond, third and fourth articles of the slave bill in the Chamber of Deputies, despite the factions and, on each division, tumul tuous opposition of the minority who op pose the scheme of gradual emancipation or any interference whatever with "the peculiar institution." Tree Money Blarket. The banks and the money markets are discussed pretty freely in an editorial of the New York Evening Post, and some most interesting statements made and figures presented. The .New York money market, in many respects, is a financial barometer of the whole country. For many months the abundance of loanable funds in Wall street has been such that lenders have had to contend themselves with 2 and 3 per cent. per annum for demand loans, and have considered themselves fortunate if their entire balances were absorbed in this way. The Post accounts for this state of affairs as follows: "First—The absence until recently, of any active speculative movements at the Stock Exchange, owing to the blow given to speculation in the early Summer by the failure of the Rock Island " corner." Second—The policy of the Secretary of the Treasury, who, to fa cilitate the negotiation of the first 3200,000,- 000 of 5 per cents, has kept the currency in the Treasury down to a meagre work ing balance. At no time since the new bonds were fairly on the market has this balance exceeded $10,000,000, and at times it has been less than $4,000,000, while only a year ago it was as high as $35,- 000,000. Third—The creation of new ' national banks under the Legislature or last Winter has given to the parts of the country in which they were established an enlarged mercantile credit which has re lieved the demand on this centre fur cur rency and bank accommodations. It is hardly necessary to say that the bank cred its which came into existence with these banks are many times greater than the amount of notes Issued by them. Fourth. The withdrawal, by the secretary of the Treasury, of the 3 per cent. certificates, which are redeemed as fast as new banks are established, has induced the New York bunks, which held nearly all of them, to keep down their re serve and to make up in direct loans the interest which they lost on these certificates. Fifth.—The extreme ease of the European money markets has led to the employment here of a vast amount of for eign capital and credit, the latter having been used in the form of borrowed sterling bills. The large speculators of the Stock Exchange, who have been carrying im mense amounts of stocks for mouths past, have in many cases hypothecated them for these bills, which they hays readily sold and turned to account. The amount of for eign credit so used, which does not appear in the bank statements, Is variously esti mated, but was probably never greater than now." The first and must iwportant reason of this state of affairs has been an extraordl nary expansion of ban k credits—au inflation almost without a parallel in the history ape per credits. The Pox( states it very clearly, and exhibits such a condition of the busi ness of banking In that city as deserves serious consideration. It says: The ave• rage loans of the city banks last week were $311,200,300, or about $30,500,000 tuure titan at the corresponding time last year. Or dinarily toe banks about the middle of August begin a contraction of loans to Wall street speculators, which goes on to the close of the year. For instance, on August 13, 1070, the loans of the banks stood at5376,- 647,619, from which point they steadily ran down until the last week in December, when they stood at $203,417,418. On August 13, 1870, the banks held a total reserve of $70,- 000,504, of which $34,104,302 was in specie, and the remainder in legal tenders. The specie the third week in October was re duced to $11,610,700, but with the disburse ment of the November interest rose before the close of the year to nearly $21,000,000, The banks lost in deposits from the middle of August to die end of December nearly $37,000,000. In a word, the banks lost in reserve last year,from the middle of August to the end of the year,about $10,000,000, and their liabilities were reduced $33,300,000, so that they were really . strouger at the close of the year than in August. This year the bank loans in the first week imlanuary were $363,570,037, and they have steadily risen to $311,306,300, at which they stood last week. In the middle of August, when it was reasonably supposed that they had attained their maximum and when great caution in banking would have suggested a contraction, the loans stood at $303,400,- 397. While this expansion of nearly $9,000,- 0)10 in loans has been going on in the past three weeks, the banks have lost 31,500,940 in specie, and $1,444,100 in legal tenders, or $7,013,049 on their reserve, corresponding to a reduction of about $30,000,000 in their liabilities. The actual reduction of their liabilities has been 152,307,889." This im proper and injurious inflation cannot be accounted fur by an increased demand for legitimate mercantile accommodations inci dent to the fall trade,nor is there an explana tion afforded by the very moderate demand front the interior for the moving of crops. The whole of this expansion is reflected in the position of matters at the New York Stock Exchange, and in a limited degree in a few stocks in our own market. 'There are combinations and cliques in nearly all of the chief railroad stocks, composed of influential capitalists and speculators.— These combinations were compelled to pur chase an enormous amount of stocks which came upon the market in consequence of the Rock Island fiasco, and it has required a vast amountormoneytocarrythem through the dull period of the Summer months, and to this source chiefly can be traced the ab sorption of the bank expansions and al9o of the very largo amount (estimated by some, as high as twenty-five to thirty mil lions) of floating foreign balances and cred its. There must come a change and that at no distant day, in the situation, which suggests to all classes of borrowers as well as lenders, the necessity of caution. It is certain that the present expanded state of the New York banks, based, us it chiefly is, upon fancy, uncertain and speculative stocks, must soon reach a point that will require a severe and extensive liquidation of these credits to stock speculators, If they would meet the approaching demands from the commercial classes. How the Famed Statute wan Saved from rrmoda and from the tomsunue. M. Theophile Gautier relates in the Joar• nal 011rirl how the Venus of Milo wan caved front the Prussians and the Communists. At the beginning of the war, he says, when the first defeats showed that Paris was in danger of being besieged, the moat valuable of the pictures in the Louvre were taken out of their frames and sent to Brest ; but it was not easy to find a place for the statues, whose weight and fragility made it Impos sible to pack them for no long a journey.— Among these statues by far the most valuable was the Venus or Duo, "and the thought that this adorkble work of art might become Prussian filled our connoisseurs with dismay." At last, after giving much thought to the subject, the guardians of the Louvre hit on an ingeni ous means of getting out of the difficulty. The statue was taken down from its pedes tal and laid in an oak coffin tilled with wad ding. In the dead of night some men who could be depended upon brought the coffin with its precious contents to a secret door in the Louvre, where it was taken up by some others and carried to a spot known only to themselves, where a crypt had been prepared for the goddess in the cel lars of the Prefecture de Police.— " What a grand poem," observed M. Gamier, "would Heine, the singer of the bauished gods, have written on the noc turnal burial of this most famous of the im mortals, and what ironical apostrophes lie would have directed against those hordes of the followers of Rant and Hegel, at whose approach a dweller In Olympus fled to the Rue Jerusalem!" The hiding plai e was at the end of one of the numorous se cret passages in the Prefecture. A wall was built in front of the spot where the Venus was laid, and covered over with rubbish so as to give it the appearance of antiquity. To make assurance doubly sure, a heap of documunts of some import and, was laid in front of this wall, and a second wall was then run up, so as to make it appear that the biding place was made for the documents. Here the Venus re mained during the whole period of the siege, her admirers wondering all the time what had become of her. Perhaps, says M. Gautier, she found her seclusion i rather tedious; but time is of ;no conse quence to an immortal, and she must have been accustomed to darkness by her confinement of several centuries in the vault from which the Greek peasant Gor gon extricated her. After the first siege it was proposed to replace her on her pedes tal, but when the Commune was declared the guardians wisely determined to leave her where she was until order was restored. The secret was well kept, and the Venus was not disturbed during the second siege any more than during the first. At length came the defeat of the Commune, and the burning of the principal official buildings, including the Prefecture. The anxiety caused to the guardians by this event may easily be imagined. Was the Venus to per ish after all, now she had escaped the bombs of the Prussians and the vandalism of the Commune? Directly the army of Ver sailles resumed possession of the Capital the guardians hastened to the Prefecture. The still smoking ruins were carefully re moved, and among them was found the oak coffin uninjured. A water-pipe had miraculously saved the statue; we might now apply to her the proud'inotto of the House of Heidelberg, ' Prtestat invicta Ve nus I ' " 'The coffin was brought back to the Louvre and opened before a commission appointed for the purpose. "Every one leaned forward eagerly to look. Lying in her soft bed in a position that quite altered her usual appearance, her mouth half open, as if to breathe the free air, she seemed to look gratefully on her preservers with that irresistibly charming smile which is un known to modern lips. All her features and limbs were complete; no injury bad been done to the marble by the damp of the crypt in which it had so long been bur ied." Rothfelder, the inventor of the stem winding watch, hits committed suicide in New York. sittetttyltet A Robbery of Vouchers In New York. The offices of the city and county govern • ment of New York, were wonderfully startled on Monday morning by the an nouncement that a daring robbery bed been committed the night before in the county bureau of the Comptroller's office, and that a large number of vouchers and other papers directly affecting the proofs of the charges of frauds that have been made against the present administration had been abstracted. The rumor lost nothing in size as it passed from mouth to mouth around City Hall and the new Court house, and during the morning the most extrava gant statements were in circulation, but the plain facts of the case upon a careful in vestigation appear to be as follows : The Comptroller's office during Sunday and Sunday night was left in charge of the regular night watchman, a man by the name of John Murphy, who lives in the Twenty first Ward. The Deputy Comptroller, Mr. Richard Storrs, was at the office during a portion of the day on Sunday, and, seeing murphy about, cautioned him, as he had frequently done before, to remain con stantly on duty and to keep a sharp look out. Notwithstanding this, however, the watchman, Murphy, left the office at about six o'clock P. M., went up town for supper, and did not return until nearly nine o'clock. When he reach ed the office he found that the coun ty bureau had been entered. The of fice of this bureau is on the second floor of the building, on the Chambers street , side, and just west of the main entrance.— The door of the office Is on the north side of the west hall, near the foot of the main staircase leading to the third floor. The door is of heavy black walnut, but with ground-glass windows,and out of the lower corner of the window of the left-hand door a piece of glass had been skilfully cut with a diamond, leaving a hole large enough for a man's arm to be inserted. The fastenings of the door included two catches, both of which could be turned from the inside without a key, and a wooden brace reach ing from the door to the partition of the stock clerk's office. These catches were both un fastened when Murphy returned, and the wooden brace had been removed. The door was closed, but It was without any fasten ings whatever. The watchman must have seen that a forcible entrance had been ef fected, but he says that he did not notice that anything bad been stolen from the place. This man was relieved from duty tit 8 o'clock yesterday morning by the Jan itor of the office, whose name Is Regan. When Regan arrived, Murphy told him that the office had been entered, and then making a thorough examination about the place It way noticed that the doors of two cupboards under a long desk In the County Auditor's office had been very unskilfully wrenched open and a number of bundles of vouchers abstracted. These cupboards each contained twenty pigeon -holes, and In the first one, which was filled with vouch ers for 1869, ten pigeon-holes bad been rifled and the contents of the others had been left intact, and In the second cup board containing vouchers for 187 U, three pigeon-holes had been robbed. These cup boards were secured by small steel locks, and the doors bad been pried open with a chisel or some similar instrument and after wards closed, so as to show no very visible mark of their forcible opening. ==l MAYORS OFFICE, I Monday, r. Sept.i 11, 1871. j ilq Dear ,S'ir have just Veen informed by the Superintendent of Pqiice that last night the offices of the Fivancb Department were secretly invaded, and that as a conse quence thereof, valuable vouchers, evi dences of payments, and cancelled warrants (together representing a large amount of discharged city liabilities,) are alleged by some of your subordinates to have then disappeared. The Superintendent and the Mayor im mediately had a full conversation regard • ing the means of investigating the untow ard circumstances of the alleged burglary, so as to punish the guilty, procure restitu tion of such papers as may have been taken, and protect the interests of the city. Our constituents will have a right to bold you responsible, and in a measure to with hold from the Finance Department desira ble public confidence. It is impossible not to perceive that the city credit will suffer. and in a very critical period of municipal government. With great personal reluctance I officially reach the conclusion that the exigency de mands your retirement from the head of the Finance department, In order that I may place there another gentleman, who will be enabled to thoroughly investigate its affairs and restore public confidence. I cannot suspend any head of depart ment, not even pending an investigation ; I can only prefer charges to the judges of the Court of Common Pleas, who alone can remove after a considerable time for trial. I am compelled to throw myself, there fore, as Mayor, in this unexpected emer gency upon your magnanimity, and ask under the circumstances for your resigna tion. Very truly yours, non. It. B. Connolly. COMPTROLLER CONNOLLY'S RESPONSE -II E REFUSES TO RESIGN. COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE, New York, Sept. 12. 1571.—H0n. A. Oakey Hall, Mayor: My Dear Sir—Your letter of September 11, asking my resignation as Comptroller, was presented to me last night at 11 o'clock, at an interview sought by myself. Similar verbal requests, from yourself and others, have been, within the last few weeks, re ceived and declined. The official source and subject matter of your note, as then read to me, and as published by you in this morning's press, demanded, and has re ceived my earnest consideration. A crim inal abstraction of papers from the Finance Department seems the reason for your let ter, so far as any is therein suggested. In common with other city officers, I now stand before the public and " our con• etituency" charged with malfeasance in the administration of high trusts so long con tided to my care. The legal proceedings wherein such charges aro made, and to be substantiated, If at all, are now on hearing before a fearless and Just tribunal. My answer, therefore, is before the public, and my complete defence ready to be presented, both to that High Court, "our constitu eels," and the citizens of New York at large. My counsel has urged, by my wish, a speedy trial and rigid investigation. I sin fearless of the result, and anxious for the proceedure. During the many years of my administration of this office, I have not Been, and fall now to see, any diminution of public confidence, and such fact would have been readily marked, nothing being more sensitive to general opinion than financial administration. I beg leave to differ from your Honor In thinking the robbery of my office creates any " unex pected or sudden emergency." I am not apprehensive that either your self or this community will suspect that I am an accomplice In that depredation. I sin happy to assure you that it has effected no serious mischief, the archives of the De partment containing abstracts of all the sto len papers. Whoever planned or executed the crime has reaped no benefit and inflict ed no injury upon public interests Would not my resignation at this,particular time, give the advocates of the partisan attacks upon the city government justleause to be lieve me to plead guilty, not only of partic• ipation (at least passive) in the burglary, but as well to all the charges now made in the legal proceedings? So it seems to me. My official acts have been supervised and approved by your superior vigilance. So far as my administration is questioned, equal responsibility attaches to yourself. la your answer and affidavit, read in the pending litigation, you have adopted and vindicated those acts. You could not j usti fy yourself without so doing. Consequently, I do not perceive why my resignation should be asked, or how, if tendered, it would have any just influence in appeasing popular clamor. Confident therefore, in the steadfast good opinion of friends, in the ultimate judgment to be rendered by the Courts, I cannot consist ently with self-respect, accord to your de sire. lam unable to submit myself as a vicarious sacrifice, to satisfy the hungry appetite of adversaries for a victim, or, at this juncture and under these peculiar cir cumstances, betray weakness of position or fear of rigid investigation, by tendering my resignation. I cannot now anticipate the effect upon this determination future events may pro duce. When my past administration shall be vindicated, and pending accusations shall be repelled, I shall not fail to act as may seem to be demanded by the changed circumstances which may then exist. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, RICHARD B. CoNsottv, Comptroller. The Indianapolis People gives the folio w og account of the most singular suicide, which occured near Philadelphia, (Ind.,) a short distance east of the city, on Thursday week : A farmer was threshing his grain by steam power, near the road side, when a well-dressed stranger drove up in a bug gy, got out, tied his horse, and came up to the machine. He first went to the engin eer and asked for the privilege of feeding the machine for a while, and was referred to the feeder. The feeder , seeing no rea son to refuse letting him try his hand, yielded his post, which the stranger filled with ability. After running a short time, he looked to the engineer for more steam, which the engineer put on, and while the machine was going at lightning speed, he motioned the man handling sheaves to stop, and as soon as the teeth were clear, he doubled up his arms and threw himself headforemost into the thresher before the horror-stricken observers had an idea of his intention. He was literally torn to pieces in an instant. No clue to his identi ty could be discovered. His pocketbook contained $3O, but nothing in the way of papers. The citizens of Philadelphia are still in the dark as regards the name of the man, or the cause of his making way 'with himself, Tllton's Life of Victoria Woodhull Mr. Theodore Tilton has justgiven to the public the most extraordinary production of the age, which he is pleased to call a Life of Mrs. Victoria Woodhull. Of all his va garies, this is his greatest, and it is to be hoped his last. He begins at her birth, which he tells us happened in the year 18.13. Her name wasgiven in honor of the Queen of England. From an early age she has, as he puts it, "entertained angels, not una wares," and the course of her very remark able life has been shaped by them. Her eccentric literary and political pro ductions have been received directly from the same source. Her chief "angel" is Demosthenes, who is continually by her, and once when he appeared in visible shape wrote out his name in good plain English. These same " angels " have at times made her as wonderful promises as ever did the witches to Macbeth. She is, according to them, to become the ruler over the whole country and her ideas to prevail among the people. Her father is described as a cruel tyrant, and hor moth er as something equally bad. Between them she was forced at fourteen years of age into a marriage with Dr. Woodhull. She soon discovered her husband to be a rake, and a hopeless sot. They fall into poverty, and she supports him, first by needle, and subsequently as an actress on the stage. While acting before a country audience sbe was called to New York by the spirit of her sister "Tennie," and lett as hurriedly ft. , Cinderella from the Prince's ball. Arriving In New York she takes the profession of a spiritualist fortune-teller, and makes a very large fortune for herself. Then comes her divorce, and of that and other events wequote : Maim to she had entertained an almost superstitious idea of the devotion with which a wile should cling to her husband. She had always been so faithful to hint that, in his cups, lie would mock and Jeer at her fidelity, and call her a fool for main taining it. At length the fool grew wiser, and alter eleven years of what, with con ventional mockery, was called a marriage —during which time her husband had nov• er spent an evening with her at home, had seldom drawn a sober breath, and had spent on other women, not herself, all the money he had ever earned—she applied in Chicago for a divorce and obtained it. Previous to this crisis there had occurred a remarkable incident which more than ever confirmed her faith in the guardian ship of spirits. One day, during a severe illness of her son, she left hint to visit her parents, and on her return was startled with the news that the boy had died two hours before. "No," she exclaimed, "1 will not permit his death," and with fran , tie energy she stripped her bosom naked, caught up his lifeless form, pressed it to her own, and sitting thus, flesh to flesh, glided insensibly into a trance, in which she remained seven hours ; at the end of which time she awoke, a perspiration start ed front his clammy skin, and the child that had been thought dead was brought back again to life, and lives to this day in sad half-death. 11 is her belief that the spir it of Jesus Christ brooded over the lifeless form, and re•rrrour/ht the miracle of Lazar- MY for a sorrowing woman's sake. =l=l There is a maxim that marriages are made in heaven, albeit contradicted by the Scripture, which declares that in heaven there is neither marrying nor giving in marriage. But, even against the Scripture, it is sale to say that Victoria's second mar riage was made in heaven ; that is, it was decreed by the selfsame spirits whom she is ever ready to follow, whether they lead for her discipline into the valley of the Shadow of death, or for comfort in those ways of pleasantness which are paths of peace. Colonel James H. Blood, command er of the Sixth Missouri Regiment, who at the close of the war was elected City Au ditor of St. Louis, who became President of the Society of Spiritualists in that place, and who had been, like Victoria, the legal partner of a morally sundered marriage, called one day to consult her as a spiritual istic physician (having never met her be fore), and was startled to see her pass into a trance, during which she announced, aa conseiou.lly to herself, that his future destiny nod to be linked kit h hero in Marriage. nag, to their mutual amazement, but to their sub oefil«.nt happiness, they were betrothed on the spot by " the powers of the air." The legal tie by which at first they bound themselves to each other was afterward by mutual consent annulled—the necessary form of Illinois law being complied with to this effect. But the marriage stands on Its merits, and is to all who witness its harmony known to be a sweet and accord ant union of congenial souls. Col. Blood is a man on philosophic and reflective cast of mind, an enthusiastic stu dent of the higher lore of spiritualism, a recluse from society, and an expectant be liever in a stupendous destiny for Victoria. A modesty not uncommon to men of intel lect, prompts him to sequester his name in the shade rather than to set it glittering in the sun. One night, about half a year after their marriage, she and her husband were awak ened at midnight iu Cincinnati by the an nouncement that a man by the name of Dr. Woodhull had been attacked with de lirium tremens at the Burnet House, and in a lucid moment had spoken of the wo man from whom he had been divorced, and begged to see her. Colonel Blood imme diately took a carriage, drove to the hotel, brought the wretched victim home, and, jointly with Victoria, took care of him, with life-saving kindness for six weeks.— On his going away they gave him a few hundred dollars of their joint property to make him comfortable in another city. lie departed full of gratitude, bearing with him the assurance that he would always be wel come to coins and go as a friend of the family. And from that day to this, the poor man, dilapidated In body and emasculated in spirit, has sometimes so journed under Victoria's roof and HOMO times elsewhere, according to his whim or will. In the present ruins of the young gallant of 20 years ago, there is more man hood (albeit an expiring spark like a can dle at its socket) than during any of the former years; and to be now turned out of doors by the woman whom he wronged, but who would riot wrong him In return, would be an act of inhumanity which it would be impossible for Mrs. Woodhull and Col. Blood either jointly or separately to commit, For this piece of noble con duct—what Is commonly called her living with two husbands under one roof—she has received not so much censure on earth as I think she will receive reward in heav en. No other passage In her life more sig nally illustrates the nobility of her moral judgments or the supernatural courage with which she stands by her convictions. Not all the clamorous tongues In Christendom, though they should simultaneously cry out against her " Fie, for shame!" could persuade her to turn this wretched wreck from her home. And I say she is right; and I will maintain this opinion against the combined Pecksnilfs of the whole world. MEMLE Her suffrage notions are derived exclu sively from the aforesaid Demosthenes, who Indited her memorial to Congress. Of her personal appearance we have a line rhapsody. She combines the features of a " Roman marble" with the expression of "St. Stephen, the martyr," and the tresses of Hortense Bonaparte. Her free love theories are from John Stuart Mill and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Of her present pursuits we are briefly told that she is en grossed with business affairs, having only a few hours daily In which to indulge her customary habit of "sitting on the roof of her stately Mansion o❑ Murray Bill, and there commune with spirits." We have no space to give a further no tice of this fearful production, but the brief extracts we have made are sufficient to show its character. We should give the erratic Theodore the benefit of a doubt that he too was inflated by spirits—of a cer tain kind—only we know the saying in vino veritas, and we don't believe that a particle of truth can be found in these van ities which were doubtless instigated by "the world, the flesh or the devil,"—by exactly which of the three we do not feel competent to say. rmLßllUfflll TRHNTON, Sept. 12.—Chancellor Zabris kie having recovered from his recent in disposition, the long-looked-for argument In the matter of the application to prevent the lease of the United Railroad Compa nies of New Jersey to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, commenced this morn ing. Fifteen attorneys appeared to take charge of the interests of the several parties concerned. For the complainants, John Black and others, the following gentleman appeared : Vincent L. Bradford, Esq., General Garrett S. Canon, Abraham Browning, Esq.. P. L. Vorhees, Esq., add Eon. Jeremiah S. Black. The United Railroad Companies/were:rep resented by A. J. Fish, Esq., Ed. T.

Stockton and ex-Chancellor Wil liamson. Attorney-General Robert Gil christ was also in attendance, and stated to the Court that, although this was a private contest, the State was interested, and the Governor bad requested him to appear. If agreeable, he would submit: his argument in a private form. No objection was made to this, although some amusement was created when, in re ply to Mr. Scudder's query, which side he would take, the Attorney-General prompt ly replied " against the lease." The pre liminaries, including the affidavits of the President and Secretary of the Trenton Delaware Bridge Company, that the Cam den and Amboy Railroad Company were stockholders in that corporation, being disposed of, the argument commenced. Mr. Vincent L. Bradford, for the corn plainants, took the initiative and read his argument from a printed pamphlet of 149 pages, with an appendix of 30 more. Mr. Bradford, who had not concluded his argument when the court adjourned, will be followed by Hon. John P. Stockton for the lease. It is understood that four coun sel will be beard on each side.
