Fiction, beginning .with tlie story, gradually
developed it to the novel. , At first,. *as in j&e •
early Greek romances, it. attempted to
interest by vividness ofnarraUon. and,by start-'
ling inciden's. Fiction died,! in tile genial
over-turn of everything, atid wasponly borh
again in the Ihlrteenthp centtiry, when it began
on the old plan of incident Gradually, men
began to see that its higher- uSes were, to por
tray life as it is, aiid to show the springs of
men’s actions under the various aud complex
influences of human society. Art proceeds
upwards from the simplest forms; and, surely,
of all artistic efforts that of novel writing is the
highest. For it \ is] far harder to set down in.
words life in i{s entirety than' it is to paint the
shifting shadows on a hillside. The painter
takes one moment and one .view. The novel
ist, from bis standpoint, even if he shows only
one phase of life—that with whjch ho is at the
time the most familiar—has yet to do with both
the Seen and the unseen. And whereas, in the
old story-teller, the puppets of his story showed
as ' the only living beings in the whole
world, the modern novelist, by skilful sugges
tion* by by-play, and by subsidiary action,
manages to introduce into bis book that atmo
sphere of the outer world which is needed to
complete the illusion. Aud—for no man can
write anything worth the reading save from his
own experience—be introduces the opinions
wbicb be has formed on the conduct of - the
world, and uses , them .not only to direct the
leader’s attention.to the great circles of life
supposed to be whirling round the imaginary
men and women of his history, but also to
answer social problems, and to give his own
views on social'difficulties.'"'-/'; .
: Of these, problems, the ? most important, be
cause it strikes us the ; most often, and is the
fountain of tears and the cause of sympathy,
we may call the problem of . suffering ; not why
it exists—a question which Man'Friday asked
at the outset of his. education, and which he
does, not appear to have been encouraged to re
peato-but what aie its sources, and how far it
may he alleviated ? Questions which admit,
and have received, various answers from phi
losophers, novelists, and statesmen.
Let us here consider the theories implied,
rather than stated, in a few of the leading nov
elists. ■■r---,..--.-.-.-..',- , ---!-
- Thackeray, if I read :him j-ightly, discarding
altogether the old-fashioned notions of villains
arid the sorrows they cause,seems to have been
governed by a great ruling idea. His busiuess
was to teach the world—not directly, as no
novelist should, but indirectly—the lesson that
every man is his own villain; that is, that all
roal suffering is self-inflicted, save that which
consists in seeing others" suffer. Thus, Clive
Newcome, who married Rosey; Barnes, who
leads a life of consistent selfishness; Rev. Mr.
Honeyman, extravagant and luxurious: these
bring on their heads their own punishment.
The happy man is the Colonel. He neither
sins nor does he suffer. The storms of life
heat over his brave old head; and, in his pov
erty-stricken age, he is as-calm and as ...happy,
but for his son; as in his prosperous manhood.

The career of Itandal Ijeslio is certain from,
the beginning. He might have got success and
money! Not the less would he have become
selfish, calculating, and unscrupulous. He
suffers late. It is his punishment. Leonard,
suflering early, is educated by endurance and
pain. Lord Lytton seems less than any other
<rrcat novelist to ha \e felt the miseries of man

I refrain from Balzac and George Sand, be-
Icause, at the mention of their, names,.so much
!crowds into the mind which must be said,
Ithata dozen numbers of Once A Week would
'not suffice.
Suflering, then, according to Thackeray,only
comes upon those who deserve it, either from
ignorance, or folly, or vice. According to
Victor Hugo, it is the inevitable lot of the
;world; the great laws of religion, society and
politics, ruthlessly crushing' all- that' come in
their way. Lord Lytton teaches how strong
natures are nourished, and weak ones punished
by suflering; and George E)iot shows that the...
unavoidable alliance : of good and bad, weak
and strong, entails misery upoij both, which
the good and strong feel the most acutely. .
One writer remains l —no longer, alas! a
living writer. Charles Dickens takes, in
reality, the. old good apprentice and idle ap
prentice theory. All his good boys coine to
good ends. Fatness awaits them, with good
eating and drinking. . His bad boys come to
hunger, leanness anti disrepute. Sampson
and Sally Brass prowl about Claremarket in
the evenings, picking up offal. I saw them
there myself only last night. Pecksniff, out at
elbows and unkempt, haunts low public
houses, where he gets drunk. Bumble is

If there be any pervading) theory at all in the
mind of this most genial oflwritCTff, it surely is
that people get what ; that the
simple pleasure which can beNjad for Little
ought to content those who haveNtfut little;
that sorrow follows transgression; and that
there is no real suflering where there has been
no wrong. It is a kindly lesson—the most
practical if not the most profound. And it
serves fltly to close this little paper. —Once A

for decomposing a solution of the’ chloride of
gold in order to precipitate the gold ,as a co

lit is to be observed, too, the organic sub

of Australia. If water holding gold sin solu
tion circulates through the rocks and drifts, all
the conditions necessary for the production of
gold dust and nuggets by deposit are present.
Does the water so circulating npw ; hold gold in
solution? One would think it would not be
difficult for a chemist in Australia or California
to determine the fact by direct experiment, but
it does not appear that it has ever been tried.

Henderson county is .also imitated at this
frme with a case of peculiar horror.... It turns
out that in the latter pari; of May, 1804, an old
man about sixty years of age, whose name we
are unable to learn, crossed the ferry from
this city with a considerable sum of money in
his possession. It amounted somewhere from
$l,BOO to $5,000. Tie liad just sold his farm
in Missouri;-and intended-to purchase land in
Henry coiinty, 111. He stopped at the farm
house of "White Anderson, a notorious charac
ter who was run out of the country, during the
war; but lias since returned. He talked with
White awhile, anil then went up fo. the'faim
houso of De Hague, with the intention of re
maining all night.
This De Hague’s father settled' on the family
place many years ago, but is now dead. He
was.a ferocious character, and was a pirate on
the ocean for eleven years. He served under
that famous Frenchman Lafitte.aud, with that
redoubtable chieftain, was pardoned at the re
commendation of General Jackson for heroic
conduct at the battle with the British at Mew
Orleans. He looked the very picture of savage
fierceness, and was much dreaded by his
neighbors. Before his death he was considered
rather wealthy, owning a fine property and be
ing otherwise well established^-Helefc several
sons. This oneseems to have inherited many
of his father’s qualities. 7
Late in the evening of which we speak the
present De Hague turned the old traveler out
of his house and sent him over to Squire
Parks’. ■ Darks then sent out-for Robert Von,
Dan McCue and one or two others. De
Hague also went over to his house. In a short
time afterward the old man,'whd'had‘ gone to
bed up stairs by this time, was called up and
brought out to the front yard; A horse be
longing to Yon was found hitched to the
fence, with a pair of saddle-bags oh it. The
old man was asked if he knew the horse and
equipments. He said he did not, but that he
knew the saddle-bags, as they were his. lie
was then accused of being ' a horse thief and
of trying to steal Yon’s animal'. Tic was taken
out into the orchard and hung twice, for the
purpose of extorting a confession. The poor
old victim had nothing to confess. He was
then taken to the woods by Yon, De Hague
and Squire Parks. The balance of the
party were requested nof to follow,
but they heard him being beaten with
foils until —his ‘shrieks filled gthe -air.-
After that both his hands were chopped oft'
with a hatchet, while he was still alive, and he
was then murdered. His mouey, it is sup
posed, was divided among the three. There is
now no sort of doubt but that De Hague is the
man who cut his hands off. Some girls dis
covered the body concealed in a creek on the
following morning. The matter was kept
quiet until evening, when the three murderers
took the body out to an old half-filled cistern
on the prairie aDd flung it in. The cistern was
afterwards filled by the drifting of the prairie
sand. Some time ago a farmer went to the old
cistern to obtain the brick with which it was
walled. In digging out the sand, a hired man
named William Cook exhumed the skeleton
of the murdered man. It was evident that the
hands had been cut off. The entire cistern
was cleared out, hut the skeleton hands could
not be found. This hideous discovery brought
the whole affair to publicity. It had long been
I whispered, but people feared to speak their
[ minds on the subject.
; De Hague, no w very wealthy, is u nder bonds
to the amount of $lO,OOO to answer the charge
of murder. Ilis trial will shortly come oft' at
Oquawka. Yon left , for Missouri some time
ago, fearing an exposure of the outrage. The
principal witness -against De Hague is Dan
McCue, one of the party who met at Parks’
house, but who did -not actually take part in
the murder. \lt is reported, however, that he
received sloo'as his share. Allot the victim’s
money was In ’gold. De Hague and McCue
have long been fearing and hating one another.
They both carry two revolvers each and are
always on then - guard, it is reported to us
that De Hague .has uofeslept in his. house for ,
two years, lest he should be murdered. He
conceals himself in his haystack. He Often
visits Burlington and is never seen without a
carpet-hag iu his hand. That carpet hag
contains two large sized navy revolvers, ’
loaded and ready for instant „ -use.
To people living about the ferry landing bis
appearance is very familiar. A short time ago,
and since De Hague’s arrest for murder, McCue
one morning found the water of his well impreg
nated with arsenic, and also arsenic scattered
about the curbstone. He immediately asserted
that De Hague had made au attempt to poison
fiim, in order to shut off his testimony at the
Mining trial. Both'these men live in mortal
fear and apprehension of oue another, their
mutual dread and hatred making life-, a; hell.
White Anderson, one of the gang, is > accused
bf all sorts of misdeeds, and is also quite’

shielded by their ill-gotten wealth, have ren

London, Sept. 6—A correspondent of the
Hull Mali. Gazette thus describes the surrender
ol Napoleon, September 3 :
About live o’clock there wiis a sudden sus
pension- of the cannonade along the whole line.
Many wc-ro the' speculations as to the cause,but
nobody seemed to divine the truth! You may
T . judge (it oiu: surprise when,,four minutes later. _
- we-saw a " French'- officer.' estorted 'by two'
uhlans, coming at a hard trot up a steep bridle
path from Sedan to our post, one of the uhlans
carrying a white duster on a faggot stick as a
flag of truce.
'flu* messenger turned out to be a French
colonel, come to ask terms of surrender. After
a very short consultation between the King aud
General Von Mollke, the messenger was' told
that, in a matter 60 important as the surrender
of at least So,ooo men and an important for
tress. it was necessary to send an officer ot high
iank.
Vou are therefore to return to Sedan and
tr il the governor ol'the town to report himself
immediately. • If he does not arrive in an hour
rurpin> wht-'again Open lire. You may tell
the commandaut that there is no use of his
Irvine to obtain any other terms than uncon
ditional surrender.. The messenger lode back
v. iili the message. When he waafairlv out of
earshot his mission was most eagerly can
- - . : vassed; - ; -- l - •• - . ■ •••'- ■
At half past six there arose a sudden ery
among memberu of the King’s stall of “ Vvr
JMur-M da,’’ and then came a .loud hurrah.
Soon we begau to look anxiously fbra second
"ag of truce, aud in ten minutes mote General'
Reilly rode up with a letter for the King of
Prussia. As soon as the French general was
insight the slender escort of cuirassiers and
dragoons we bad with us was drawn up In hue
two deep behind the King.
In front of the escort was the -'staff, and ten
stood King William To I
receive General Reilly., Tliat officer, as we
soon learned, was the bearer of an auloerapli
letter fiom the Emperor Napoleon to King
William. The Emperor of the French wrote:
„ “ As I cannot die at the head of the army. 1
lay my sword at the feet of your Majesty." N'e
jKiin aut pas inouvre a la tele demon armc, je
visits wettre mon csste aux pletls de votre
majeste. .
On the receipt-of this most astounding letter
there was a brief consultation between the
King aud Crown I’rince—who had come over
from the hill on the arrival of the flag of true-'
—Count Bismarck, General Von Moltke and
Von Itoon. The King wrote to the Emperor
begging him to come next morning to the King
oi Prussia's headquarters at Vcudres. While
this note was being wr.tten, Count Bismarck
came up to Generals, .Sheridan and Forsythe
and myself, and heartily shook our hands.
“Let me congratulate you most sincerely.
County’said General Sheridan; “jl can only
compare the surrender of Napoleon to that of
Lee at Appomattox Court House.l’ When it
came my turn to grasp the Chancellor’s hand,
1 could not help saying, after 1 had warmly
congratulated him : •' You cannot but feel a
pr ide, Count Bismarck, in having contributed
so largely to tbe winning of to-day’s victory."
“ Ob, my dear sir,” was tbe mild answer,
VI ammo strategist, and have nothing to 1 do
with (lie winning of battles. What lam proud
of is that the Bavariaus, the Saxons--and- the
Wurtembergers have not -only been-on our
side, hilt have had so large a share in the glory,
of the day. That they are with us aud uot
against us, that is my doing. I do not think
the French will say now that the South Ger
mans will not,,fight for our common Father
land.” I asked bis Excellency whether Louis
was taken with his papa, and was told that trb
one knew. When the King bad written his
letter he himself handed it to General Reilly,
who stood, bareheaded, to receive it.
At twenty minutes of eight General Reilly

nblans. Early next morning I started for Bel
gium, and on my way.met the traveling car

his way tp jePdrt himself a ..prisoner at King
William’s headquarters, at Vendres. 1 .
Paris, Sept. s.—An officer who attempted
to reach the ahriy of Marshal MeMalion fur
nishes the following details to the journals of
the surrender of the Emperor :
In the secohd'attack of our armies we un
derstand that all the positions of Marshal Mae-
Mahon] were turned. Bazeilles, Douz, Balau,
Villers, Cernay, Gironne. La Chapelle, Fleig
neux, Saint Mange aud Vrignes,/to the woods
of .Douche/,, formed an ellipse/of (ire around
Sedan,. kept up by ,460,000 soldiers and 900
cannon. At Sedan, with 400,0(jlp. meu before ■
him, and seriously wounded in the shoulder
and groin, with bombs ..bursting around, him,
the Marshal turned over his cpjumand to Gen
eral Wimpfen, , As regards the Emperor, Mac
,. Mahon’s corps covered.bim on the field of bat-'
tie, and tbe walls of * Sedair-protected him for
‘tone hour longer. iFloriug-waa the headquar-'
ters of the King of Prussia, the Prince Koval, a
host of German princes and strangers.
Two shells shot across the skv in the direc-!
tion of Sedauito6mibeho.ing the bombardment
of tbe town. A thick cloud of Btuoke followed
" by flames rises, above the :town, wliere there

The Emperor'hoisted, a white flag of truce, i
an hour before sending his sword to King Wil
liam. As a souvenir, of< Jena, his implacable
! ' adversary.,made him send his sword,as Napo
leon the First ’sent his .iu other days to the
King of Prussia.

Loxdon, Sept. s.—The Tribune's speejal cor
respondent writes from Florence, August 30,
saying; Last night’s Gazette d'Jtalk publishes
a circular, notifying all tenants that tbe Minis
terial Council lias decided to transfer the gov
ernment to Rome before the end of September.
Tbe government, by announcement, intends
exonerating- it.sejf from claims to. indemnity.
Tlie news came oil Florence like a thunder
boil, The genuineness of the notice is doubted,
but is affirmed, and this, policy explains the
army on tbe frontier and why Prince Napoleon
postponed his announced departure. Every
thing is in a declining and languishing condi
tion. ...
Count Bismarck telegraphs officially to Lon
don :
YLXia:es, Sept, 3.—lhaye spoken, with the
Emperor Napoleon about peace, but,he has an
swered that, as a prisoner, lie has no power,
and that all depends on the Regency in Paris.
Thus the capture of the Emperor has no in

London, Sept. s.—[Special to tlie N. Y.
Tribune.} —A telegram from Berlin. Sunday

Pams, Sept. o.—Tbe legislative body met
at half-past one yesterday afternoon. The
members of the Left were much excited. Kc
i.ury insisted Unit'the Chamber should not be
guarded by troops.
! deputy Lonce alleged that Palifcao had ex
ceeded his powers in giving orders at variance
•■'hh those of Trocbu.
Palikao endeavored to explain, but was
called to order on account of the sharp ex
pressions he used. He proposed a project of
law.
Jules Favre asked him to state to the Cham
ber what would be the new situation caused
by the project. The government Chamber ad
mits the urgency of this proposal, but insists
on double grounds on its own right to frame
such project. Its own project bad been set
aside, and in the second place it confers much
wider powers than that bf the government.
Thiers said all hls.persoukl preferences were
in favor of the project- of Jules- Favre, but
that, as he set aside his own impressions for
the public good, he submitted to the many
members comprising ail parties the following
project:
That, whereas, seeing the present absence of
the requisite authority, a commission,to consist
of five members named by the Corps Leubtlalif
bo charged with the government and - with, tbij
defence of the nation ; a Constituent Assembly
to be convened as soon as circumstances will
permit.
M. Thi ers made brief remarks in reference
to those opposed to : tliis, project; they hold
e ■. cry variety of opinion.
M, Schneider thought it necessary to consult,
the Chamber as to the need of the proposi.
tior.s.
11. Cambetta demanded that the Chambers
shall at once pronounce as to the necessity of
this project of law.
At half-past four the body adjourned.
- The tribunes 'Smpi'onuding tlie.Chaiiiber.were.
thronged with people who'called loudly for a
declaration of the downfall of the Empire
and the proclamation of a ltepublic.
Most of the Deputies left the chamber.
Cambetta and otheps appealed to. the people to
respect the liberty of the deliberations'of the
Chamber, and to listen in silence. These ap
peals were-useless; There was a. scene of in
describable agitation, jtnd in. the midst of it
ruse enthusiastic cries of “ Fire la Rcpab

diers fraternizing with each other. “
Gambetta and other members of the Left
proclaimed the overthrow of the Empire.
Then a deputation of these ‘ members, fol
lowed by crowds of people, went to the Hotel
ile Ville, to proclaim a provisional government.
The deputation consisted of Troejm, Gatn
