THE CRG&T AMEKIC *Ji, NOVEI*
wht i N to Write it ami When Is It to be
Written ?_A Vcw XUongtots on Ante
titan literature* '
The Nation has an interesting article on tlie
essentials of a great American novel, ami the pro
baWUtics of its being written, from which.we takp
S grcat American poem is at present
impossible, for the reason that the nation has not
vet lived a great poem. It cost unknown con tie
riel of Greek faiths and fightings to produce the
*\lliad.” It cost all the Koman kip?® apd alljiit
Roman republic to produce the j£-t nOlt J;
“ Divina Uommcdia ” is the rcsultV a tlions.
years of the rapal,Church. Europe hath t
politically through the crusades o f the feudal
svstem before it could earn the Gierusa t me
Liberate.” and the “ Orlando Inrioso, iara
•dise Lost” is the summary of all
Protestantism. We may be eonfident that the
’Great American Poem will not -too written, no
matter what genius attempts it, until democracy,
'the idea of our day, ami nation, and race, has
agonized and conquered through centuries and
™Bn e t the W Grcat American Novel, the picture of
the ordinary emotionp and manners of American
existence, the American “Newcomes, or "Mise
rabies ” will, we suppose, be possibly earlier. Is
it time 2 ” the benighted people in the earthen
iars of commonplace life are' asking. And with
no intention oi being disagreeable, bnt rather
with sympathetic sorrow, we answer, “Wait.’
Kt least, we fear that such ought to be our an
swer. This task of painting the American soul
within the framework of a novel has seldom been
attempted, and has never been accomplished
farther than very partially, in the production of a
few outlines. Washington Irving was too cau
tions to make the trial; he went back to fictions
of Knickerbockers, and Rip Van Winkles, and
Ichabod Cranes. These he did well, and we may
thank him for not attempting more and failing
in the attempt. With the same consciousness of
incapacity, Cooper shirked the experiment; ho
devoted himself to Indians, of whom he knew
next to nothing, and to b.ackwoodemen and
sailors,..whom he idealized; or where he attempted
civilized groups, he produced something- less
natural than the wax figures of Barnum s old
museum. If all Americans were like the heroes
and heroines of Cooper, Carlyle might well
enough call us millions of bores. As
for a tableau of American society—as for any
thing resembling the tableaux of English society
by Thackeray and Trollope, or the tab
leaux of French Society by Balzac and
George Sand, we had better not troujile
ourselves with looking for it in' Coopsfe>
Hawthorne, the greatest of American imagina
tions, staggered under the load of the American
novel. In “The Scarlet Letter,” “The House of.
the Seven Gables,” and "The Blithedale Ro
mance,” we have three delightful romances, full
of acute spiritual analysis, of the light of other
worlds, but also characterized by only a vague
consciousness of this life, and by graspings that
catch little but the subjective of humanity. Such
personages as Hawthorne creates belong to the
wide realm of art rather than our nationality.
Thev are as probably natives of the furthest
mountains of Cathay or of the moon, as of the
United States of America. They are what Yan
kees might come to be who would shut them
selves up for life to meditate in old mauses. New
Englanders they profess to be; to be sure they
are of the queerest; men and women of the old
est, shyest, most recluse nature, and often crea
tures purely ideal; but they never profess to bo
other than New Englanders. The profoundest
reverence tor this great man need prevent no
one from saying that he has not written ' the
Great American Novel/’
The nearest approach to the desired phenom
non is “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” There were very
- noticeable faults in. that there. was a .yerv .
faulty plot; there was (if idealism be a fault) a
black man painted whiter than the angels: and
a girl, sneh as girls are to be, perhaps, but are
not yet; there was a little village twaddle. But
there was aho a national breadth to the picture,
truthful outlining of character! natural speaking,
snd.plenty of strong feeling. Though comeli
ness of form was lacking, the material of the
work was in many respects admirable. such
Northerners as Mrs. Stowe painted we have seen:
and we have seen such Southerners, no matter
what the people south of Mason and Dixon’s line
may protest: we have seen such negroes, bar
ring, of course, the impeccable Uncle Tom—
uncle of no extant nephews, so far as we know.
It was a picture of American life, drawn with a
few strong and passionate strokes, not filled in
thoroughly, but still a portrait It seemed, then,
when 'that book was' published, easy to have
more American novels. But in “Drcd”it became
clear that the soul which a throb of emotion had
enabled to gtasp this whole people was losing its
hold on the vast subject which had so stirred us.
Then, stricken with timidity, the author shrank
into her native shell of New England. Only cer
tain recluse spirits, who dwell between the Dau
and Beersbeba of Yankeedom, can care much for
Doctor Hopkins, ashe goes through his exercises
in “The,Minister's 'Wooing,” while the attempt
to sketch Aaron Burr as a contrast to the clerical
hero shows most conclusively happy ignorance
of the style of heartless men of the world. “The
Pearl of Orr's Island" is far better. l lt is an ex
quisite little story, a thoroughly finished hit of
work, but how small 1 There, microscope in
hand over the niceties of Orr's Island, we wait
for another cameo of New England life. But
what special interest have Southerners and West
erners. and even New Yorkers, in. Yankee
cameos?
There was another dainty and by do means
feeble story about a still farther northeastern
realm of rocks and sand and fog. A brother of
Jameß Russell Lowell, a poet in soul, though he
writes in prose, went to Newfoundland in search
of the idea), and wrote “The New Priest of Con
ception Bay.” A lew choice, critical souls
praised it, we believe, and we believe the. pur
chasing public hardly noticed it. It should not
have been lot die, and its author should have been
called on for -more novels. True, large, and
kindly portraits of rustic souls were in it, and,
-—as we judge of such things,. the best landscape
pictures ever done by an American, -unless we
except Thoreau; story there was almost none,
and no more passion than in a Fra Angelico.
What can be hoped lor such books in presence
of a popular taste which accepts Headley as a Taci
tus, and J. 8. C. Abbott as a Livy, and Dr. Hol
land as a Virgil?
We shall always be grateful to Oliver Wendell
Holmes for “The Autocrat of the Breakfast
Table,” and hardlylees grateful for “The Profes
sor.” Lighter, brighter, keener, defter prose has
rarely been written in America. It Would not be
unworthy of a Parisian; it would hot be scorned I
by Tain,'or Vcniilot, or Henri de Rochefort. He
has also created a personage or two whom we
shall hot forget. A truer American than “the
young man called John" never breathed. We
would let him vote anywhere on the mere credit
of his idca6. If men and angels should swear
to us that he was born abroad, we Bhould
not believe them. He is one of us, and
was from conception. If he lives, he reads the
Ledger, and John 8. C. Abbott, and docs not read
“The New Priest of Conception Bay.” Heaven I
prosper him, and give him more wisdom! There.
, is true picturing of intelligent and unintelligent
I Eastern Americans in “The Autocrat" and “The
] Professor.” But when the author undertakes a
j novel, lie enters upon a field where passion Is
( needed, to say nothing of his lack of what the
j poor, despised phrenologer calls “constmetivo
j ness,” and in that he is lacking. His stories are
not only provincial in scene and in the form of
, the dialogue, but provincial to the very depths of
| the spirit which animates them,
i Of'“Waiting for the Verdict" we have little to
I .add beyond what we have already said. While
1 acknowledging anew the breadth of the plan, we
: must reiterate our abhorrence of the execution.
.In reading it we remember with wicked sympa
thy the expression of a bachelor friend, “I hate
poor people’s children,” and we are tempted to
add, “and poor people." We do not believe tint
the “poor and loiviy of God's creatures are his
chosen; we hold that, if He has any preference,
it must-be for,the wisest, sweetest aud-n-oblest.
It is dreadful to have low, tattered, piebald ami
stupid people so rubbed into one. There are
. other experiments. There are .novels by Mr.
Mitchell, and Mr. Bayard • Taylor,- and Mr.
Beecher, and many more, but none arc hotter
than those already mentioned, and few are
-, nearly, as good. Is there in the whole, catalogue
a "Newcomes." a “.yanuv Kiir,” a “Misorabbs,”
or even a "Little Dorr'ii"'or a “Small House at
Allington r" Is there, in other words, a single
tale which'plints American m e so broadly, truly
and sympathetically that every American ol' feel
ing and i-iiHurO is torecd to acknowledge the pic
ture as a hbuncte ol something which he knows ?
Throwing-out "Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” we muot
answer, nof.bne.
And why not? There arc several reasons, some
material some spiritual. • ome pertaining io the
artiste some to the subject. It is not necessary
to dwell upoh the fact that, a 3 we produce few
boohs of any we must consequently pro
duce a duly small proportion of good onC3.
Another causo of barrenness is not less obvious;
Siins been upheld by selfishness, shovtaiglit
-3 and national' prejudice; It has boon,'so
loutfly defended that argument is par
donable. For lack of an international copy
light. the Amerlean author is undersold in his
own market by the stolen brajn-work of other
countries. The ordinary reader, granting a book,
and not. earing what, providing it will amuse
him, steps into a book store and finds “Little
Dorril” alongside of “Elsie Vennor." He is
pretty sure that both are good,, but he sees that
the former costs a dollar and three-quarters, and
the latter two dollars. Ho buys the cheaper be
cause it is the. cheaper. “Little Dorrit” is stolen,
"and sold without any profit to Dickens; and
“Elsie Venner” remains unsold, to the loss of
Holmes. Nine readers out of • ten do this; teach
one is glad of the twentygffve cents saved; then
lie wonderß “why we don’t have an American
literature.” Depend upon it, that if “Little Dor
rit” were the dearest, more “Elsie Vermcrs
would be sold, and Doctor Holmes
would give /more time to
and perfecting /novels. The Americfui reader
must have his/book cheap. He willVpay high
for his coat, his sofa, his piano, his portrait; but
the furniture and clothing and adornment of his
mind must be cheap, even if nasty. To charge
the English price for a good novel might pro
voke an indignation meeting, if not a riot. We
do not soy that the American author would do
miraculously well, even under favoring pe
cuniary circumstances. The child ot a com
munity which is given to estimating, the claims
of books by their cheapness, his culture is not of
the highest. Clever, but not trained, he knows
better what to write than what not to write.
Just consider the educational advantages of an
Eiglish writer of by no means of the highest
nink, Miss Thackeray, the author of “The VU
lagcen the Cliff." Surroundcd/rom intanev by
tuch men as the creator of “Vanity Fair, the
creator of “David Copperfield,” and their com
peers, she may be said to have inherited the pre
cious knowledge of what not to write. You can
sec it in her books; there is no great power, but
theie is nothing threadbare, nothing sojdiomon
eal; there is a careful, intelligent workmans:) ip,
like that of an old hand. The power of an au
thor is frequently, if not generally, no more than
the expression of the community which pro
duced him. Have we, as yet, the literary culture
to educate Thaekerays and Balxacs? Ah! we

So much lor the artist; now for the sitter. Ask
a portrait painter if he can make a good likeness
of a baby, and he will tell you that the features
are not- sufficiently marked, nor the expression
sufficiently personal. Is there not the same diffi
culty in limning this continental infant of Ameri
can society;who is changing every year, not only
in physical atiributcs. but in the characteristics
of bis'sonl? Fifteen years ago it was morality to
return fugitive slaves to their owners—and now?
Our aristocracy flies through the phases of
Knickerbocker' codfish, shoddy and petro
leum. Where are the “high-toned gentle
men” whom the North and South gloried in a
Quarter of a century since ? Where are Congress
men who could write “The Federalist?” Where
is everything that was? Cana society vyhich is
changing so rapidly be painted, except in the
dailv newspapers? 'Has any one. photographed
fireworks or-the shooting of stars? And then
there is such a variety, and even such antagon
ism in the component parts of this contract
When you have made vour picture of petrified
New Englaud village’ life, left aground like a
bowlder hear the banks of the Merrimae. does
the Mississippian. or the Minnesotian, or the
Pennsvlvaniau* recognize it as American society.-
We are a nation of Provinces, and each province
claims to be the court. .
Wfccn Mr. Anthonv Trollop-e-commences a
novel he is perplexed'bv no such kaleidoscopic
transformation, and no such conflicting claims of
sections. Hundreds of years ago English aris
tocracy afsumtd the spiritual nature which it
holds, with little change, to the present day. It
had made its code of honor: it had established its
relations with the mass of the nation: it had be
come the model for all proper Englishmen. At
this time it is a unit of social expression through
out the kingdom. A large class of persons go
up to London at the same season—go into the
country at the same season—lead very nearly the
same lives—have the same ideas „ and tastes.
There vou have something fixed to paint; there
yon have the novelist s sitter: there you have liis
purchaser. AU successful English romances are
written with refcicnce to this class. They may
attack it: tliev may defend it; they always paint
it. Wealthy," it pays high prices for hooks;
anxious to be amused, it buys them freely. For
such a Eittcr who would not, if possible, learn
to paint well? Tims, also, in France, only that
the subject is always in your studio, for the
studio is Paris. If George Sand writes a pro
vincial novel, the does it, not for the people of
the province described, but for tbe Parisians,
who occasionally like a novelty. But Hie French
author need not know more than that one city
to have his subject and his public. In divided
Germany there have been few gopiKnovels. In
distracted Italy there* has been,<perhaijs, but one

result of half a lifetime, the task oVTygreat poet.
Fun Manzoni found it a mighty lal('or to depict
ihe life of a nation of provinces.
Tne Sandwich Islands,
Recent Honolulu newspapers contain'some
items of interest to American readers. We
make a few extracts.
A JtEItCANTII.K VIEW OF Till' TItEATY.
“The articles admitted here from the
United States are numerous. Those who
say that the remission of our ten per cent.
dutieß is no appreciable advantage to United
States goods, and that it will not increase
largely the importations of them to the dis
advantage of tire German and other European
goods, differ widely in their views from mer
chants here.. Our trade will seek the free
American goods, and our orders go to Ame
rican ports. It will change the current of
trade for a large class of goods, and make us
customers of those who enter into reciprocity
with us.”
.difficulties of sugau plantkf.s.
“The arable lands bear but a small pro
portion to the mountainous and the imprac
ticable portions of the soil,! unfit for the agri
culturist. The easiest lands for. plantations
have already passed into cultivation; and
though there are tracts which can bp made to
produce sugar profitably at prices likely to
' rule under tbe treaty, there/ are other and
larger areas, which to put’into .cultivation
with sugar at such a price would appall the
stoutest-hearted capitalist. The planter on a
large proportion of the new lands must con
tend with impassable roads, with a surface
broken with heavy ravines, with a rock
bound-coast that permits of no chance of
landing, so that water carriage may be
employed. In other words, large outlays
must be incurred outside of that incident to
the mere growing of thp cane and its manu
facture.”
TI’.EATMKNT OF THE OOOI.IES,
“The labor system of this kingdom, is as
far removed from slavery as that of New
England. We have not even a Coolie code to
regulate the immigrant,who, in his own land,
has been subject to intense restraints. Plant
ers complain because some shorter rficthod of
compellina their laborers to live up to. their
contracts has not been legalized other than the
usual courts of the country. The protection
to labor is complete, the disadvantage is with
the employer. The new Chinese soon dis
cover this met, uud whole gangs of them run
to the.magistrates with, complaints, trivial or
grave, whenever a fancied occasion prompts
them. Slavery has no shadow; of existence
on these shores. Tile labor hours of coolies
are limited in their contracts to ten hours per
day; they labor side by side with the Ha
waiian, aud no one can aver,that knows plan
taiion work, tlmt in these islands it is exces
sive or even severe. During the past suthmer
so many uf the Ilawaiians and free Chinese
have betaken themselves to the plantations,
by preference, that house servants InTl'dno-i
lnhi have been difficult, to obUin" at high
wages.”
'ICE TKF.ATY WITH JAPAN.
“Tbt* njttcial envoy of the Hawaiian gov
ernment u,Japan, I>. c. Waterman, Esq.,
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.—PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 3. lffjj.
■who left Honolulu on the 3d of last August
for Yokohama, by way of San Francisco, ar
rived on Thursday on tire Idaho. He re
mained in Japan thirty days. The envoy
was charged with despatches to the Hawaiian
Consul-General, E. Van Reed, Esq., regard
ing the treaty now being negotiated with Ja
pan, and also with instructions to collect and
report upon commercial facts and statistics
bearing upon the interests of our community.
The treaty has been received with favor by
the Japanese government, requiring only for
its completion certain formalities of signa
ture to comply with Japanese etiquette.
Meantime Hawaiian vessels and produce may
enter the Japanese ports, under the privileges
of the treaty, as though it were already rati
fied by the two governments.”
Toward the beginning of the present cen
tury a prodigious body of locusts were pre
cipitated across the Black Sea upon the Bteppe
lying east ot Odessa, where it committed
the most indescribable devastation. To de
stroy the invaders, columns of serfs were
marched down from the interior; but, on
arriving at the scene of-aotion, were almost
paralyzed by the phenomenon they witnessed.
For miles tho whole surface of the plain,
converted into a black color, seemed to be
alive and in motion; for the scaly bodies of
the locusts, closely pressed and locked to
gether, presented the appearance of a huge
dusky cuirass reflecting, with a strange
glitter, the rays of the sun.
The mass being in motion, advanced in
land, slowly but steadily, murmuring like
surges of the ocean, putting the sheep, the
cattle, the horses, and the inhabitants on all
sides to flight.' A stench not to be expressed
by words was emitted from the host as it
crawled forward, the living devouring the
dead, for lack of other provender. Tutting
their mattocks, , spades, pickaxes, and other
implements into immediate requisition, the
serfs speedily excavated a trench several
miles in length across the track of the
locusts, but ere they had finished the enemy
was upon them, and soon demonstrated the
futility .of their device. •
In the course of a few minutes from tlieir
reaching the brink of the excavation, the
foremost ranks had been pushed into it by
those that followed, and filled it up from edge
to edge, so that the multitude continued its
march apparently without interruption.
Then everything combustible was collected,
and set on fire in front of the column, with
the same result. The whole Black Sea
seemed to be transformed'into locusts,which,
from its low shores, came up in countless
myriads, setting at defiance all the arts and
industry of man. Several columns of thein
: vaders filed off toward the East, and alighted
amid the vineyards of the Crimea, which
they soon changed into a waste of apparently
dry and sapless twigs.
, Russia appeared to be on the ewe of a ca
lamity' like that which fell upon it about the
middle of the seventeenth century, when the
destruction of the harvest occasioned a
famine, which was followed by a plague, so
that the population ot whole provinces was
thinned almost to extermination. In the
present instance, the elements came to the
delivery of man. Before a strong we3t wind,
masses of black - clouds came., pouring in
from the Bosphorus, which covered the. at
mosphere. and ultimately descended in floods
of rain. At the touch of descending Jove
the locusts were paralyzed, and as the celes
tial moisture continued to drench them in
pitiless fashion, they gave up the ghost, and
bequeathed their filthy corpses to the hus
bandman for manure; not, however, without
sundry fevers and dysenteries.
years paßt the War Office has given the
\Needle women’s Institution an annual con
tract for fifty thousand soldiers’ shirts; but
the number has now been reduced to fifteen
thousand, and notice has been given that next
April the contract will be withdrawn alto
gether, in order to supply the soldiers' wives
jit Woolwich with employment. The man
agers of the institution have been thrown into
a stale of consternation bordering on despair
by these cruel .tidings; and it has become ne
cessary to exert all the influence which the
needlewomen’s friends can bring to bear on
TitcFilgrininga of a. Pest*
The Needlewomen of London.
The usual price paid by the “slop” houses
in London for making a shirt is 3l<L, but the
Institution for Needlewomen, which takes in
Government work only, has been able, during
the last seven yearsf(says the Telegraph), to
raise the allowanceto fid. per shirt, with the
additional help that the stitching is done by
machinery, which is worth,in the seamstress’s
estimation of time,2d. a shirt more. For some
the government to induce it, if that be pos
sible, to reconsider a hasty determination.
The poor Loudon needlewomen are too old
to emigrate; they are not fit to go out to ser
vice; they can only sew, ail'd if the govern
ment sewing be taken away from them,to the
Union they must infallibly go. The wages
are simply starvation. Shirt-making at :td.
or Lid. a piece will not keep body and soul
together. Already, by the reduction of tbe
government contract, numbers of needlewo-,
men have been thrown out of employment;
tliesociety’s incomeisreduced,andit3pQwer
of usefulness cramped. In order to meet, in
some measure, this diminution of revenue, a
dress-making department has been added to
the institution, for which custom i 3 earnestly
solicited.
How He Would Have PrcacliccU
In a letter to the Western Christian Ad
vocate, Bishop Kingsley tells the following
amusing anecdote of the ingenious plan by
which a Methodist preacher circumvented the
efforts of religious bigots, in one of the small
States of Germany, to prevent him from
preaching:.
On one occasion, when the congregation
had assembled, and the preacher was all
ready to begin his discourse, a peremptory
order came, forbidding him to preach. This
wAs a great disappointment to the people, as
many go ten or twelve miles on foot to hear
preaching.
The preacher arose and expressed his deep
regret at being forbidden to preach to them.
Said he:
“It would harmed no one if I had been al
lowed to preach. I was intending to preach
from the following text.” He here named
the text that he should have preached from if
he had been allowed. . ■
“And then,” said he, “I intended to divide
the subject so and so.” He here gave the di
visions'of the subject as ho should have made
them had he been permitted.
“Then 1 had designed to treat the first
division in the following way.” Here be
told them what he should have said on tbe
first division had he not been hindered.
“And then I intended, had I not been pre
vented, to have said tHc following things
under the secondJieadj” . •
■ And so he went on and told his hearer 3
how he should have, begun; continued and
ended his discourse had he not been pro
hibited from doing so. Of course this man
has been in America.

Tbo Novara ,at Trieste—The Body
. Bronglit on Mi ore—Tlic Ceremonies.
(Trieste (Jnn. 10) Telegram London Times,]
The body of the Emperor Maximilian Was
brought on shore from "the' Novara this
morning. The weather was very fine. The
line of route along which tho procession was
to pass began to be decorated with mourning
banners as early as 7. DO. Tho ships in the
harbor had hoisted their colors at half-mast'
high. Dense crowds filled the streets. The
ceremony began at 10 o’clock, with the per
formance of a funeral service, after which tho
procession started from the Molo Ban Carlo
for the railway station. Major-General, the
Duke of Wurtemberg headed the escort of
troops, followed by the municipal authorities,
the clergy, the funeral car, decorated with
wreaths and llowers, the archdukes, Admiral
Tegethoff, the representatives of foreign
powers, the generals and other military
officers and the 'consuls. The members of
the civic guilds, sailors and troops closed the
procession.
All the shops in the city were shut, and
extreme sympathy v/as displayed by .the in
habitants.;
Tbe Hosting-Place of tlic Anstrlau
Imperial Family The Capucln
Church.
[Trieste (January 11) Correspondence London Herald.]
At Pol a, tbe coffin, as it at present is, will
be placed in tbe large copper coffin which a
few, days ago was forwarded from Vienna.
There is nothing ornamental about this metal
receptacle. It is merely a large trough, with
strong rings at the side, and . a cover with
hinges furnished with two locks. When the
body is deposited in the crypt of the Capuciu
Church at Vienna, one of these keys is
handed by the Grand Marshal of the Imperial
Household to the guardian or prior of the Ca
puchin Monastery, and the corpse is com
mended to his .care; and the other key is
given to the secretary, who takes an official
note of the proceedings, that he may deposit
the same in tbe Imperial Treasury. This
crypt of the Capucin Church is the resting
place of all the members of the imperial house
of Austria. You descend into it by a broad
stair, ami neither this nor the place itself has
at all the air of being subterranean. Indeed
the crypt is but very little below the level of
the street, which accounts for its being light,
and for not having anything gloomy about it
or grave-like. Had you gone straight into it
from the outer portal of the monastery, in
stead of descending the stair, you might
fhink you were in a chapel or small church,
fofffora the spot over which the ceiling rises
iik a dome run two broad aisle like passages
where the coffins are deposited. The whole
place is full of them. They stand on the
pavement near together, ranged round the
walls of the building. With the exception of
the sarcophagus of Maria ‘.Theresa, with her
husband, and those of her children, which
are placed around her coffin, forming the
central monument, all of them are totally
without artistic form or beauty".
A state hearse, or rather catafalque, ha 3
been prepared here for transporting the body
from the landing-place to the railroad station.
It is about 14 feet long and 10 feet high;
and is as near as possible like a four-post
old-fashioned bedstead, with drapery of black
cloth festooned from column to column, and
hanging around them in large ample folds.
The roof rises by regular gradations, and in
the centre, as well as the top, of each pillar,
is a black plume, as on ojur hearses. Every
' part is covered with black cloth, and the dra
pery and fringe hanging at the sides hide the
wheels and details of the construction
of the car. .At each corner is a
sort of raised step. Here come four
cushions of black velvet, and on the
two in front will be placed on one aide the
insignia of the Orders of the Golden Fleece
and of St. Stephen, and on the other those of
the Mexican Orders of Gaadaloupe and the
Mexican Eagle. Oa the cushions behind
came the imperial crown of Mexico on one
side, and on the other two coronets—the
princely one of Austria • and the archducal
coronet Over the coffin will be thrown a
dark velvet pall bordered with gold and with
a large gold cross in the centre. The crowns
are large and handsome decorations of gilded
bronze, ornamented with large-imitation
pearls and gems. These as well as the car
were furnished by the Chevalier Tonello, who
has here a large dockyard establishment,
and who makes there, asm friend of mine
observed, everything you can think of, from
a frying-pan to a frigate.
Provincial Criticism in England,
The February number of The Broad
way has an amusing article entitled “Pro
vincial Dramatic Critics Criticised,” from
which we make the following extracts:
EFFECTS OF A CHANGE CF I.AU.NDHE.-S.
Several years ago the leading actor of the
theatre in a certain large manufacturing town
of the North was, during the first months of
the season, the pet of a weekly newspaper.
It lauded him to the skies—everything.he did
was perfection. Suddenly, from no appa
rent cause, the orgau changed its tune. Cen
sure was now the subject. And why ? The
actor’s talent had not taken flight; he was
careful and painstaking as ever. At length,
accident lifted the veil of the mystery. The
revelation was a very simple one, andyet as
tounding from its very simplicity. He had
changed his laundress! The lady who had
at first fulfilled to him that necessary dice
was the reporter’s sister.
a BAiHiER critic.
A good specimen of the provincial reporter
■was lately to be found in a certain Welsh
' town. He was a penny barber. At the
time I first became cognizant of his existence,
the leading lady of the theatre was the object
of his especial displeasure; her acting was
descanted upon with all the virulence of his
limited English? Why? Because he had
grown sentimental upon the actress who had
preceded her, and who probably, in con
sideration of certain fulsome notices, had not
discouraged his attentions. The bereaved
swain vented his gall in an endeavor to
damage the reputation of a blameless woman,
who possesses far greater talent than his

Poi:ti;ait of Lutheh. There, just
over his grave, against the church-wall,
hangs the portrait of this glorious hero,
painted by his friend, Lucas Cranach, a na
tive of this city, and looking every inch a
king. That broad, burly man, with a great
sensuous nature and frame, purged and re
fined by intellectual and spiritual life, was
made to reform the Church and overturn the
Papal, power the mightiest foe human
courage ever yet, single-handed, was called
to assail and defy. How homely, nay, ugly,
that bull-throated, jumbled-up, low-crowned,
square-shaped visage is! Yet, what genial
sweetness, what moral dignity, what large
ness,-what confidence, What humor and as
piration are commingled and embodied
there! That small, inex’pressivo nose is the
only unaccountable feature. The eye, the
mouth, the double chin, the great throat, the
full blood, the ample paunch and chest, all
are as we would have them. Well, Socrates
had a small nose and, Luther must have car
ried his courage and- firmness in some other
member'- — Dr- Bellows.
A Perilous Adventure. —A raft,on which
were fifteen seamen, and a temporary stage
composed of four barrels and planks, lately
broke away from one of. the ships in Ports
mouth harbor, England, and drifted down
the main channel, fortunately without get-
ting into collision with any of the vessels,
buoys, &c., although it passed close enough
to the Pigmy, tender, to enable the men to
throw ropes on board tho vessel. An eight
oared cutter, manned by ineu of the Royal
Artillery, and pinnace from the St. Vincent,
went to the assistance of the men, and took
the raft in tow, but with all their efforts they
could not stem the strong ebb tide which was
running, and so were compelled to pull for
South.Bca beach,a distance of two miles from
where the raft broke adrift, r.
EKOjn WASHINGTON.
THE INTEItNALItEVENUE BUREAU
Washington, February 2.—lnformation has been
received at the Internal Bevcnue Bureau o£ frauds on
the revenue and outrages on the government ofliciuia
in tho Third District of South Carolina, ft neons
that necountsfrom Mr. Bingham,formerly Postmaster
at Abbcyviile, South Carolina, of heavy distillery
frauds in the Abfceyviiie District, and Hart and Elliot
counties, Georgia, induced the Bureau to dispatch a
special agent tbjthcr, and after some investigation’
Mr. Bingham was appointed Deputy Collector. The
result of the operations of the government ofllcials
v/as the seizure of eighty illicit - distilleries in the
.three counties, and.the arrest of several ot the distil
lers. Subsequently, the Deputy Collector was met by
a party, who, it is ascertained, had been hired by
these engaged in the unlawful distillery, and shot
through the shoulder. The Commissioner ot Inter
nal Revenue has directed a reward to be paid tor th c
arrest of the party who committed the outrage.
THE FAMINE IN TUNIS.
The following is one of the many dispatches to the
same effect received from G. H. Heap. United States
Consul at Tunis, and Is published for general informa
tion:
Consulate or the United Stated, I
Tunis, January 4, ISU3. f
lion. I!'. 11. Seward, Secretary of State.
Sin: On the 27th of December, 1607, two hundred of
our fellow-creatures died of hunger in the streets and
ruined tenements of this city. Ttasdaily average of
deaths from this cause alone is considftrably over one
hundred, and the prospect' for the future-is gloomy iu
thc extreme.
The foreigners residents here do what they can, and
there iB a great deal ot private charity, and after pro
viding for the first necessities of their own, the Euro
pean poor, hut littie Is left for thc wretched natives.
For this city we rarely hear of any cnees of violence.
Latterly, thc mnrder of a Jew created a sensation
• which proved how rare such acts aro, hut 1 regret to
learn that the same tranquility does not prevail In the
interior, where the Arabs attack and pillage travelers
and even caravans. It is eickeningto meet in oar
drives and walkß the corpses of those who have
perished on the roadside. A well authenticated case
of starvation in the United States thrills the commu
nity with horror. Imagine a whole population
stneken with famine and hundreds dying dally for
want of food. lam forbidden to appeal through the
papers to the proverbial charity and liberality of my
ti llow-eoiintrymcn, but such an appeal, if made under
the authority of the Department, cannot fall to have
a good effect. My pen is totally inadequate to de
scrtlio the heartrending scenes we daily witness. It
is dreadful to hear the cties of the hungSring wretches
at night. These poor creatures seem to be forced
upon file whole world and have no friends this side of
ttie grave. Should America, out of her abundance,
tend succor to them,y. hat a reflection will be on those
nations so near to them hut cold and indifferent to
their sufferings. They have no claim on us for help
as the Irish had, except that of a common humanity.
Uow much more would the unexpected bounty be ap
preciated coming eo opportunely and to far. Coarse
oread and common woolen stuffs cam be bad here at
reasonable prices, and that is all these people need to
keep them from suffering. I venture to make this
appeal to thc Department in the hope that it may be
induced to bring it prominently before, the public.

KENTUCKY DELEGATION.
The House then resumed the consideration of the

Brown in Kentucky during thc rebellion, to show by

opposed by the secessionists on account of his determ
rnined Unionism, and by the second, that all his pub
lic speeches had been against the rebellion and, in
favor of the Union.
The debate was continued by Mr. Cook, a member
of tbe Committee on Elections, £n enforcement of the
report, and by Mr. Knott against it.
Mr. Williams also supported the report.,
