most characteristic tendency of literary and.
historical investigation at the present day hi to
throw doubts ,upon opinions of time honored
currency, and, to show that the traditional :ter-.
:dint upon some of the famous ,personages and
remarkable events of the poet is essentially
erreneous.and in support. of. this assertion
he alludes ' to 'Grote's "new and iteprovell views
of Clean and the 8,00114,7 Carlyle's and "1114-.

JOHN TILL
“Sweet to the eye and to the heart is the face
of Francis Bacon as a child. Born among the
courtly, glories of York Aimee, nursed on the ,
green slopes and in the leafy woods of Gorham:
burg; now playing with the daisies and' for-.
get-me-Hots, now with the mace and nab One
day culling posieewith the gardener or coursing,
after the pigeons, (which he liked, particularly,
in a pie,) the next day paying hie pretty- woe
compliments to the Queen ; he grows up into
his teens; a grave, yet sunny boy ; on this side
of his mind in love with nature, on-that side in
love with art. Every tale told of this plaything
of the court wins on the inagination ' whether
he hunts the echo in St. James Park, or eyes
the juggler and detects his trick, or lisps wise
saws to the Queen and becomes her young Lord
Keeper of ten. Frail in health, as the sons of
old men Mostly are,•his r lather's gout and stone,
of which he will feet the twinge and fire to his
dying day, only chain him to his garden or his
desk. When thirteen yeare of age he goes to
read booka under Whitgift, at Cambridge; when
sixteen, to read men under . Paulett in France.
If he is young, he is still more sage. A. native
grace of soul keeps off from him the rust of his'
cloister no lass than the stain of the world.. As
Cambridge fails to du hint. into Broughton,
Paris and Poicters fail to melt him into Mont
joy. The perils 'eacapes are. grave; the'
three years spent under Whitgift's hard, cold
eye being no less full of intellectual snares than
are the three years . spent in. •the voluptuous
court of Henri Trois among:the dames and
courtiers of France; ofi moral snares.. In the
nol7
train of Sir Atnias Faulett he.rides at - seventeen
with: that throng of nobles who attend the. Kin g.
and Queen-Mother down to Blois, to:Tours; to
Poiotiers ; mixes with the fair Women on whose
bright eyes the Queen. relies for her success,
even more than on. Cher • regiments • and fleets ;
glides in and through the hostile camps, ob
serves, the Catholic and Huguenot intrigues,
and sees the great men of either court make
love and war. But Lady Paulett, kind to him
as a' mother, watches over his steps with care
and 145.0-0, kindness he remembers and repays
to the good lady and to her kin in later years.
For him the d'Angelles sang their songs, the
Tosseuses twine their curls in vain."
"No one lapse is known to have blurred the
beauty of his youth. No rush of mad young
blood over drives him into brawls. •To men of
less temper and generosity than his own—to
Devereaux:and Montjoy, to Peroy, and 'fere, to .
Sackville and Bruce—he leaves the glory of
Calais sands and.Marylebone Park.. If he be

A MIT AT LORD CAMPBELL.
"Of all the sins against Francis Bacon, that
of Lord 'Campbell is the last and worstal wish
to speak with respect of so bold and great a
man,as our present Lord Chancellor. He is
one who has swept up the slope of fame by.
native power of heart and. brain; in the proud
course of his life, from the Temple to the peer
age, from the reporters' gallery to-the woolsack,
I admire the track of a man of genius—brave,
circumspect, tenacious, strong ; one not to be
put down, not to be set aside ; an example to
men of letters and men of law. But the more
highly f rank Lord CamPbell's genius, the more
I feel drawn - to regret his haste. In such a case
as the trial of Bacon's, fame be was bound to
.take pains ;to sift , every lie to its root;-to stay
his condemning pen till he had Satisfied his
mind that in passing sentence of infamy he
was- right, beyond the risk 'of appeal. A states
man • and law-reformer himself, he ought to
have felt more sympathy for the just fame of a
statesman and law-reformer than he has shown.
Not that Lord Campbell finds fault with Bacon
where he speakeby his own lights. Indeed,
there he is just. . He haeno words too warm
for Bacon's reforms as al lawyer, for his plans
as a minister, for his rules as e chanceller.--
When Lord ampbell knows his subject at first
hand, his praise of his hero rings out cloak and
loud. But there is much in the life of Bacon
which he does not know. He has not given
rhimt3elttiate teen and winnow. Like an easy
magistrate on the bench, he has taken the pleas
for facts; That is his fault, and in such a man
it is-every grave fault."
THE'BIG TREE.Y - 0;F CALIFORNIA.
We find in a late nuber of the. Boston Tran
script the mest . graphic account yet written of
the grove of mighty trees at Mariposa, Califor
nia- ,We quote the moat striking passages:
The flowers are plenteous along all the stead
ily rising trail. Here and there we must pause
before" one of the seductive'sugar pines, which
'looks' Bolan of melody tfiat ' it seems as if the
first breeze that brushes it would make it break
forth into a .Mozartish song. * *
What if we should meet a grizzly ,on a flowery
bank. under one of the graceful sugar pines ?
While we . were discussing this' Possibility, we
cattle uponfresh -traces of n very large one.
I was ; eager to get a glimpse of him,.but the
'inajority, of the company, preyed that they
Might not see one of the shaggy:monsters, and
their pra,yer was aneivered. •
Thereare two large groves of the mammoth
• trees in California.. ' The one which is usually
vi sited is in Calaveras county. n contains
hardly a third as many trees as the Mariposa
Cluster which - we were in' search of in this
letter; but it is much more easy of access. It
covers' about as, much space as the Common,
and-a : good carriage road leads to the heart of
it. At the portal of the , grove stand a pair of
sentinels, twenty-five" feet' apart, which are
sixty feet in circumference and three hundred
feet high.! They are well 'named the "Two .
Guardsmen." • Whata pity, for Dumas' sake,
that there is not one more? Pasting these
warders, you drive up to a hotel, and find the
grounds trimmed up'and the trees named • and
labelled for guests. Some of the labels are of
gilt, letters on marble, we are told, and 'are
tastefully inlaid in the bark from six to twen
ty feet above the ground. The "Hercules" in
this group is ninety-three feet in circumfer
ence. The "California," seventy-thiee feet in
circuit, shoot's up straight is an arrow three
hukdred and ten feet. "Uncle Tom's Cabin,"
is a tree which has been burnt out ; it is eigh
ty-three feet in circumference,: and will lodge
twenty persons. The "Mother of the Forest"
is three hundted and twenty-seven feet high,
and nearly eighty feet in girth.
* * * One , of these Calaveras
reee, three hundred feethigh, was cut down
a few years ago, eight feet from the graund.
Part of the trunk is used as a bowling alley,
and the stump, twenty-five feet in diameter,
covered with a canopy of green boughs, is now'
a dancing.saloen. To cut it down, pump au
gurs were . used from either side, until the tree
was complelely severed from the base. Only
by driving in large wedged with immense bat•
teringrains, could its equilibrium be disturbed
sufficiently to make it top-heavy. Five men
were at.work twenty-five days in this wretch
ed drudgery of destruction.
The Mariposa grove stands as the Creator
has fashioned it, unprofaned except by fire,
which-long before the advent of Saxon white
men, had charred the bum of the larger por
tion of the stalwart trees. We rode on for an
hour, climbing all the time, till we reached a
forte, planted five thousand feet above the
sea. This, in New England, is the height of
Mt. Madison, where not a shrub can grow.
Riding on a few rods, through ordinary ever
greens with dark stems, we at last catch a :
glimpse of a strange color in,the forest. It is
a tree in the distance, of a light cinnamon hue.
We ride nearer and nearer, seeing others of the
same 'complexion starting out in the most im
pressive contrast with the sombre columns of
the wilderness. We are now in the grove of
' the . Titans. The bark has a right leonine ef
fect on the eye. We single out one of them
for a first acquaintance, and soon dismount at
its root.
I must confess that my own feelings, as I
first scanned it, and let the eye roam up its
tawny pillar, was of intense disappointment.
But then I said to myself this is one of the
striplings of the Anak brood—only a small af
fair of some forty feet in girth. I took out the
measuring line,.fasteued it to the trunk with
a knife, and walked around, unwinding it as I
went. The line. was seventy-five. feet long.
I came to the end of the line before completing
the circuit. Nine feet more were needed_ I
bad dismounted before a structure eighty-four
feet in circumference and nearly three hundred
feet high, : and I should not hare , guessed that
it mould measure more than fifteen feet through,
It did not look to me twice as large as the Big
Elm on the Common, although that is only eigh
teen feet in circumference, and this was twen
ty-eight in diameter. During the day I bad
seen a dozen: sugar pines which appeared to
be, far more lofty.
The next tone we measured was 89 feet and 2
inches in girth ; the third was 90 feet. There
are ''nearly three 'times as many of the giant
species in the grove as in the Calaveras clus
ter. Divided into two groups, there are 650
of them within a spate of a mile and three;
quarters. Colonel, Warren, the faithful and
self,sacrifithng friend of agricultural interests
in this State, proprietor and editor of the Cal
ifornia F armer , measured the principal trees of
one group on this ridge, some three years ago,
and found one of 102 feet, two of 100 feet, one
bf 97, one of 92, one of 82, one of 80, two of
77, three of 76, aryl gradually diminish
btu -
more than a hundred trees were on
his list that measured ,fifty feet and upwards in
circumference.
Tikie crowd of majestic forms explains the
disappointment in first entering the grate.'
The general scale is too immense. Half a
dozen of the largest trees spaced half a milea
part, and preperly set off by trees of six and
eight feet in girth, would shake the most vol.
atile mind with awe.
We ought to see the "Fountain Tree" of the
Mariposa grove, a. hundred and two feet in
circuit, rising near the Bunker Hill Monument,
and bearing up a crown eighty feet above it,
to feel the marvel of its bulk and vitality.
Think of that monument as a living structure.
Conceive it as having grown trona a granite
seed, whose outpouring life absorbed from the,
earth, and.attracted from the winds fine grau.-

and unerring' masonry, into solid squares, of

on a fine winter day,. and was riding -over the
hard snow on the-margin of a wide lake, when
the most faint and mournful wail, that Gould
break a solemn silence seemed to •pass through
me like a dream. I stopped my horse and lie
tened. For some time 'I could not satisfy my
self whether the music was in the air or in my
own brain. I thought of the pine forest which
was not far off, but the tone was not harp-like,
and there was not a breath of wind, Then it
swelled and approached ; and then it seemed to
be miles away in a moment; and again it moaned
—as if under my very feet. It was, in fact, al
most under my feet. It. was the voice of the
winds imprisoned under the pall of ice suddenly
cast over them by the peremptory power of the
frost. Nobody there had made- air -holes, for
the place was a wilderness; and there was no
escape for the winds, which must moan on till
the spring warmth should release them. They
were fastened down in silence, but they would
come out with an explosian when, in same still
night, after a warm spring day, the ice would

made my very heart thrill again.—Onee a Week.
A TERRIBLE SIIICIDE.—The most intense
excitement was created among the citizens in
the vicinity of No. 82 Pleasant street, yeeter-.
day morning, by the frantic cries 9f a woman
whose husband had committed suicide, during
a brief absence on her part, and while holding
their child in his arms. The particulars of
this heartrending affair, as gathered by our
reporter during the examination before thi
Coroner, are as follows: Thomas Neander, the
suicide, was a mechanic, of exemplary habits,
with the exception that occasionally he would
indulge in the use of liquors, and during . that
period was unfitted for.business. A few days
ago he left his employment and spent the time.
in drink. On Wednesday he got the impres
sion that some one had been guilty of stealing
and that he was falsely accused. This infatn
, abort took possession of his mind, and haunted
him during his hours of waking and sleeping,
until yesterday about 7 o'clock, he became so
uncontrollable that his wife stepped out of the
room to get some neighbor to stay with her.—
She was absent not over fire minutes, and when
she returned her husband was lying on the
floor with a child in his arms, mad. his throat
severed from ear to ear. As she approached
him he moved hie hand and instantly mired,
so thoroughly .had the work been done. A
razor was lying on the floor by his side.
Neander. was about forty years of age, in
moderate circumstances, and lesiva a Wife and
two children. —Cincinnati Gazelle, Feb, 9.

afternoon; the mammoth elephant Hannibal,
