I got this ambassador to call the attention of his Government to the work I had recently published, and the answer the State Inquisitors gave may astonish my readers, but it did not astonish me. The secretary of the famous and accursed Tribunal wrote to say that he had done well to call the attention of the Inquisitors to this work, as the author's presumption appeared on the title-page.

Among these the first place belongs to the "Cosmos" of Humboldt. Although no longer in accordance with the best thought, it has enduring merit from the author's power of handling vast masses of facts, his poetic feeling and purity and nobility of style. With the death of Goethe began a new era in German literature not yet closed.

Wet-eyes sped in their petition, is to be read at length in the Holy History. And now let us take down the key that hangs in our author's window and go to work with it on the sweet mystery of Mr. Desires-awake. Well, then, to begin with, this poor man's name need not delay us long seeking it out.

These splendid images derive tenfold beauty from the rich antique coloring of the author's language, skilfully imitated from the old romances, but which necessarily escapes in the translation into a foreign tongue. Don Quixote's insanity operates both in mistaking the ideal for the real, and the real for the ideal.

"You are not!" I was goaded to reply. The Author merely grinned. "Do you know," he asked, "if that man Jelnik is coming to-night? I hope so. Unusual man. Can't think why he buries himself here! Our old friend Gatchell doesn't seem to admire him. I wonder why?" "I can't possibly imagine," I replied equably, "unless it is that the judge grows old." "Hah!" The Author's eyebrows went up truculently.

His Majesty was gracious and very patient. He listened to the young author's plea, talked book-lore, recited poetry, showed that he knew Hugo's verses, asked after the author's wife, then the baby, and said that the play could not go on. Hugo turned to go. Charles the Tenth called him back, and said that he was glad the author had called in fact, he was about to send for him.

The novel, he continued, rising for an instant to impersonal heights, 'the novel is the literary form or expression of my period, as the drama was that of Shakespeare's, the epic of Homer's. Do you follow me? Ah, here is a copy of "Crispin Dorr" here is "The Card Dealer." Take them and read them, and return them when you have finished. Being author's copies, they possess an exceptional value.

In Sir Charles Grandison, on the contrary, though no less than three heroines exist after a fashion and are carefully treated, the author's principal object is to depict in direct contrast to Mr. B. and Lovelace a "Good Man" the actual first title of the book, which he wisely altered.

When called upon by Professor Ulrici to describe the occurrences as he saw them, he said he would not willingly describe what he had not had opportunity to observe. As to Professor Zoellner, the chief witness and author of the book published, a number of points are worthy of note. The statement should have due weight, but the author's general attitude towards Spiritism should not be overlooked.

Kilpatrick at Buckland Mills. Unpleasant Surroundings. Sagacity and Daring. The Author's Capture. Fall, Insensibility, Change of Scene. The End. Introduced to Prison Life. Early in the morning of October tenth the enemy, in heavy force, came down upon our pickets along the Robertson River, driving us back in haste and occupying the fords. The flank movement of General Lee was fully understood.
