to Mrs.

"Victor Hugo as a Novelist. It is the complete fulfillment of his mission, as a teacher which interferes with the artistic perfection of Victor Hugo's novels. They are all written with a philosophic as well as a moral motive, and the principle underlying the story being the great and important thing, any di' gressions that may throw side lights, however vague, upon that principle, or convey instruction upon points in the remotest degree relating to it, are ruthlessly woven into the narrative, and greatly ob struct its rhythmic flow. They are magnificent, but they are not the novel. The description of the sewers ef Paris, for instance, in one of the most eloquent chapters in Les Miserables, but nine out of ten of the readers of the book read it after they have finished the story, if they ever read it at all. These digressions are like the entr'actes in a drama of. thrilling in terest: the more intense that interest, the more we wish them away. The dramatic "orm bars out these digressions, but forbids equally all that subtile analysis of character, all that searching investigation of motives, all_ that exquisite poetry of description, which gives to Victor Hugo's romances at once their beauty and their strength. The range of scenery, of emotion, of character in these novels is wonderful in the extreme. From the fiercest passions of mankind, from the wildest rage of the elements, we turn to the tender beauty of a child's smile or the happy chirping of a nest of birds. The same hand that paints Quasimodo aad Thenardier draws the lovely baby-faces of Cosatte and Deruchette. There is no one who paints children better than Victor Hugo, because he loves them so well. The poet and the child have ever more than half the world in common. But it is the poetic aspect of children and of _young girls, under which they appear as "the Morning in a human form" or are described as an embodied smile. They smile like celestial cherubs from a happy perch above the clouds that overhang our heads. The moment they come in contact with our world there is no more smiling. In all Hugo's works, so far as ~*we can recollect, there is no honest human laughter. There is no fun in any of his books. Was Shakespeare insensible to the tragedy of life because he could put the Gravediggers into the same scene with Hamlet? But Hugo is the apostle of the Grotesque, and it is that element alone which he sees in contrast to the f^Sublime. Like Wordsworth and Milton K&among our own poets, he has no sense of ir'tngood humor, no perception of the ridiculous. It is the lack of this one element '^u Bided genius which had laid •him open to the attacks of so many wouldbe wits.. A sense of the ridiculous is the .Curb-bit

All Abont the Loss and Recovery of Nilssoii's Jewels

From the St- Louis Timet.] Early last spring the city papers contained an account of M'lle Nilsson losing some valuable jewelry, while coming from Memphis to St. Louis, over the Iron Mountain railroad. Just after leaving DeSoto, the lady dropped from the car window three rings, a brooch and a pair of ear-rings. As Boon as possible, under the circumstances, the train was stopped, backed to the place where it was thought the valuables were dropped, and search was made, but without success. Several days afterward posters were put up in DeSoto and vicinity, describing the lost treasures, and, it is affirmed, ofiering $500 for the discovery and return of the articles.

Nothing more was heard of the affair, until last August, when Mrs. Patrick Flynn, the wife of a laborer on the Iron Mountain Railroad, took her calf from the stable and tethered the animal close by the railroad track. This calf, as Mrs. Flynn says pawed up the jewels. Pat was called upon and after a brief conference with Mrs. Flynn, went to the station. The agent identified them with the description of the bill, and advised Pat to keep the articles until he could hear from Miss Nilsson. An officer of the road heard-of the discovery and telegraphed the fact to Miss Nilsson, who was then at Newport, Rhode Island. She wrote back to Flynn telling him to keep the jewelry until she visited St. Louis, when he should be properly rewarded.

Since the arrival of the troupe, Miss Nilsson's agent, Mr. Jarrett, has visited DeSoto for the purpose of making some arrangement with Flynn for the return of the jewelry. He was not immediately successful, but on Tuesday Patrick dressed himself in holiday attire and came up to the city to fee Miss Nttsaon, return the property and claim his reward. He went to the Southern and announced his errand. The proprietors, thinking that something was wrong, detained him, and sent foV an officer. Sergeant Dailey escorted the indignant Flynn to the station, where the story was told to Captain O'Neill. A conference was held, and Flynn finally, with the advice of some friends, left the articles in the care of the captain, with the understanding that some arrangement should be made for an amicable adjustment of the relations between himself and Miss Nilsson. Mr. Jarrett paid one or two visits to the station house, but refused to accede to Flynn, who wanted the $500 reward offered. Mr. Jarrett saiil that this was a mistake of the papers. The reward was only $50, bat in consideration of the circumstances Miss Nilsson would give $100 for the property. Flynn called at the station house yesteruay afternoon, and after some talk accepted the ifcst proposition. Capt O'Neill paid him the money and then re' tnrned the jewelry to Miss Nilsson.

At the tinie of the loss it was reported that the atticles were worth $4,000-, but now it is claimed that they are not woTth $500. They consist of a pair of gold ear rings with small diamond settings a cameo brooch, a ring with a large emerald surrounded by small diamonds a second ring, With a single large diamond. Com petent judges pronounce the value of the whole collection not more than $500

Flynn appears to be a hard-working, temperate young man, telling the rather curious story df the discovery with every ajppearanbe of candor. He accepted the reward with some disappointment, «x pectipjj to have received a larger amount

"Some Shaking."

Tom is a queer genius, and lets some tall ones occasionally. He visited us the other day in our sanctum with a "How do you do, old fellow?" "Hallo, Tom," says we, "where have yon been so long?" "Why, sir, I've been down on Severn river, in Anne Arundel county, taking Shanghai notes on the chills and fever." "Ah, indeed," said we, ''are they very bad dowa there?" "Rather bad," said Tom dryly. "There is one place where they have been attemping to buildea brick house for eight weeks—well the other day as the hands were putting up the bricks preparatory to .finishing it, they were taken with a chill and shook the whole building completely down, and kept on shaking till the bricks were dust of the finest quality. Just at that juncture, the chills came on with renewed force, and they commenced shak ing with such gusto, that they were entirely obscured for hours, and the people of the neighborhood thought the sun was a I "Gas!" said we. .. .7* "Not at all," said Tom. "Why, I was sixteen miles furtlier down the river the other day, and saw four men carrying a big nine log from on board a schooner to the shore. The chills came on, and they shook the log, which was thirty feet long, all up in pieces of the proper length for firewood, and then taking a"re&hake of it, split and piled it up, at the same time shaking all the knots out of it!" "Can't believe anything like that, Tom." "It's a fact," said Tom, and he resumed —"there's a farmer down there who, in an apple-picking season, hauls his niggers out to the orchard, and sets one up against each tree. In a short time the chills comes on, and every apple in the orchard is shaken off* the trees on to the ground." "Fact," said. Tom, "They Iseep a man alongside of each negro to take him away as soon as tVe fruit is off, for fear that he will shake the tree down!"

Tom continued: "Mr. S. a friend of mine, and a house carpenter, was engaged a few days ago in covering the roof or a house with shingles. Just as he wad finishing the chill came on and he shook every shingle off the roof. Some of them are supposed to be flying about yet." "Another gentleman near the same lace, was taken with a chill the other ay at dinner, and shook his knife and fork down his throat, besides breaking all the crockery-ware on the table. His little son, who was sitting at the table at the same time, was taken with a chill and shook all the buttons off his inexpressi8, and then shook himself clear of them 1"

We then prevailed upon Tom to desist, who did so with the understanding that he was to give us the balance at some other time.

Extraordinary Career of an English Woman She Works In a Shipbuilding Yard Is Married to

Another Woman Intrigues with the Lassies of the Town—On Intimate Terms with the Landlady's Hatband—Johnnie Campbell's Popularity.

From the North Briiish^bail]/\RetS(lw.^ Daring the latter part of last summer there was working in the ship-building yard of Messrs. Henderson, Colbnrn & Co., at Renfrew, a person who was known to their workmen as John Campbell. He was engaged at the forge in company with three others, and won the esteem of all arond him by the handy and intelligent manner in which he executed any task alotted to him. On the 29th of November "Johnnie," as he was familiarly called, fell sick in the house of Thomas Early, laborer, Pinkerton lane, where he lodged during his stay in Renfrew, and Dr. Allipon was called in. He at once pronounced the malady to be small-pox, and intimated to the patient that a removal to the Paisley Infirmary would be requisite. The patient disapproved of this step, but the doctor pointed out that it was impossible that any person laboring under such a disease could remain in such a dwelling. Seeing that the medical gentleman was so determined, the patient wished to be clothed to leave the' town. This raised the curiosity of Dr. Allison,, and he at once put the question, "Was it because of sex?" The reply was in the affirmative, and the supposed "Johnnie" was a lassie, and had worn male attire since she was thirteen years of age, for no other purpose than keeping "clear 'o thae blackguard men." Her present age was about thirty-two. The doctor apprised the landlady, Mrs. Early, of the discovery, and to her surprise informed her that she must get woman's clothes in which to dress her lodger, so that she might be admitted to the Paisley Infirmary as none other than Marie Campbell This was done, and Marie has at last recovered {rota the disease from which she has been suffering. Her Brief sojourn, however, in the infirmary, has not been without its interruption and further remarkable disclosures. As the past month was drawing to a close the resident medical officer of the infirmary, Dr. Lewis, received a letter from the inspector of poor for the parish of Kirknewton, in the vicinity of Edinburg, stating that the attention, of the parochial board of that place had been drawn to the. case, of his patient, Mary Campbell, and they believed she might be the person wanted by the parish since May of 1870- Dr. Lewis having replied to the letter, the inspector of Kirknewton visited the infirmary in company with a woman named Mary Ann McKennan. This led to a complete identification of "Marie" with the John Campbell who in December, 1869 had married McKennan, and afterwards sided with her in the village of East Cal der for a time. Subsequently they re moved to Kirknewton, and to all appear ances they lived happily together till

May, 1870 when "Johnnie" disappeared The wife at this time raised the cry that her husband was a woman, but her testi mony was not credited, and she having had two illegitimate children before the marriage with Campbell, became chargeable to the parish. The woman McKen nan had another child a few weeks ago, and difficulties arose with regard to the registration. At the infiripary Campbell maintained that McKennan knew-her sex before marriage, and that there was mutual understanding in 'the matter, but the latter declared that she was not aware of the truth till some days after the cere mony. The climax was reached on Wed nesday. Acting Superintendent Stewart, of the Paisley police received a warrant from Edinburg county police authorities with a request that he would at once ap prehend "Johnnie" alias "Marie" Camp bell, on a charge of contravening the reg istration act," or causing to made a false entry in the register at the time she was married McKennan, by representing herself John Campbell. This was done,'and the patient, who had recovered from her illness, was removed in custody to Edinburg, The woman, Mrs. Early, with whom Campbell lodged in Renfrew, states that she knew Campbell only as a man five years since. The latter was then engaged as a farm laborer at a place called How-den-o'-the-Brig, in the neighborhood Tranent. She came to the latter place attracted by the high wages given on the railway, and was employed as a surfaceman between Dalkeith and Ormiston. She remained as a lodger' with Mrs. Early for about six months, and though oc casionally exciting suspicion regarding her«ex, cleverly removed any doubts by her after conduct. During the greater part of the time she lodged with the Earlys she slept with a fellow male lodger, Campbell fell in love with a Highland lassie named Kate Martin, and conducted herself toward the young woman with all the usual ardor of an affectionate beau, On one occasion she took Kate to Edinburg, and when the two returned in the evening they both stayed at Campbell's lodging. There being only two beds in the house, the girl slept with Mrs. Early and Campbell rested that nigftt in bee with the unsuspecing landlady's hus bgnd. In Renfrew she still adhered to the old habit of loving and associating with the lassies, and, in spirit of opposition to a fellow-lodger displayed an affectionate regard for a girl in the town. At all times Campbell would make herself so handy in household matters, and especially in sewing and mending the fellow lodgers' clothes that she gained the affection of all arouncl her. When Mrs. Early was ill on one occasion Campbell was so obliging in her conduct to the sick woman that some of the neighbors, who only knew her as "John nie" were kind enough to circulate very unkind stories which caused the husband to issue his instructions for "Johnnie" to leave- This had almost come to 'pass when the Becret of "Johnnie's" sex oozed out. Campbell's explanation of her extraordinary procedure is that, in consequence of bad usage when she was about thirteen years of age, she left her parents' home to shift for herself. Sometime afterward her brother, when he was dying, sent for her, and requested her take his elothes and wear them, as that would probably enable her the better to make her way in the world. She complied, and as the garments wore out she renewed them, and became so accus tomed to the garb that habit*became a second nature. There is some talk of the Workmen in Renfrew getting np a subscription for Marie, as they all acknowledge that while she deceived them as to her sex, a more kndly or obliging worker was never engaged in the yard. They will regret to hear of her unfortunate apprehension.

Hazen, who recently moved here, playing with some dogs. -This boy, with some others, gave chase, pursuing the wolf with clubs and stones. Approaching too near, the wolf, now enraged at the taeatment he had received, pounced upon young Hazen, and would quickly made way with him had not three or four men come to his assistance. The wolf showed fight until he was dead, and made a desperate defense. The lad, who is about nine years of age, Was severely bitten about the neck and shoulders. The animal was a great pet with his owner, was very valuable, and as a retriever, and was well trained for deer."

THE

NEW YORK TRIBUNE, f-'-v FOR 187«.

Tho consolidation of Italy, so long fragmentary and impotent, into one powerful State, with Rome as its capital: the humiliation of Prance through a series of crushing defeats, onding with tho siege and capitulation of her proud metropolis tho expulsion of the Bourbons from the Spanish throne, and the substitution for them of a scion of the most liberal among royal houses tho virtual absorption of the kingdoms of Saxeny. Wurtemberg, Bavaria, with Baden, Hesse, the Hanso Towns, Ac-, under tho headship of Prussia, into the triumphant andnoworfulempire of Germany and the arming of Russia to reassert her preponderance in the councils of Europe, or to prose-* cute her often postponed but never relln-* quished designs on the great city founded by Constantine, and the vast but decaying and anarchial dominion of the Sultan, all combine to invest with profound interest the ever-changing phases ot our tidings from the Old World.

through trusted

correspondents stationed at all points in Europe where greftt-movements are in progress or imminent, aims to present a complete and instructive panorama of events on that continent, and to mirror the prolonged struggle between middle-age Feudalism and Ecclesiasticism on the one hand and Nine-teenth-Century skepticism and secularism on the other. Recognizing a Divine Providence in all that prooeeds and is, it looks hopefully on the great conflict as destined (like our own recent convulsion) to evolve from strife, disaster, and seeming chaos, a fairer and happier futuro for the toiling masses of mankind.

In our own country, a war upon corruption and rascality in office has been inaugurated in our City, whereby the government ef our Statr has been revolutionized through an initial triumph of Reform which surpasses the most sanguine anticipations. It is morally certain that tho movement thus inaugurated cannot, in its progress, be circumscribed to any locality or any party, but that its purifying influence is destined to be felt in every part of the Union, rebuking veniality, exposing robbery, wresting power from politicians by trade, and confiding it in these worthiest and fittest to wield it. To this beneficent and vitally needed Reform,

TUB

will devote its best energies, re

gardless of personal intei ests or party predilections, esteeming the choice of honest and faithful men to office as of all New Departures the most essontial and auspicious.

The virtual surrender by the Democraftti party of its hostility to Equal Rights regardless of Color has divested our current politics of half their bygone intensity. However parties may henceforth rise or fall, it is clear that the fundamental principles which have hitherto honorably distinguished the Republicans are henceforth to be regarded as practically aceepted by tho whole country. The right of evory man to his own limbs.and sinews—the equality of all citizens before the law—the inability of a State to enslave any portion of its people—the duty of the Unioh to guarantee to every citizen the full enjoyment of his liberty until he forfeits it by crime—such are the broad and firm foundations of our National edifice and palsied be the hand which shall seek to displace them 1 Though not yet twenty years old, the Republican party has completed the noble fabric of Emancipation, and may fairly invoke thereon the sternest judgment of Man and the benignant smile of God.

Henceforth, the mission of our Republic is one of Peaceful Progress. To protect the weak and the humble from violence and oppression—to extend the boundaries and dif* fuse the blessings of Civilization—to stimulate Ingenuity to the production of new inventions for economizing Labor and thus enlarging Production—to draw nearer to each other the producers of Food and Fabrics, of Grains and Metals, and thus enhance the gains of Industry by reducing the cost of transportation and exchanges between farmers and artisans—such is the inspiring task to which this Nation now addresses itself, and by which it would fain contribute to the progress, enlightenment, and happiness of our race. To this great and good work.

contributes its zealous, persist ef'

forts. Agriculture will continue to be more especially elucidated in its Weekly- and Semi' Weekly editions, to which some of the ablest and most successful tillers of the soi^rill steadily contribute. No farmer who sells $3G0 worth of produoe per annum can afford to do without our Market Reports, or others equally lucid and comprehensive. If be should read nothing else but what relates to his own calling and its rewards, we believe that no farmer who can read at all can afford t» do without such a journal as

THS TRJBSNE.

And we aspire to make it equally valuable to those engaged in other departments of Pro' ductive Labor. We spend more and moro money on our columns each year, as our countrymen's generous patronage enables us to do and we are resolved that our issues of former years shall bo exceeded in varied excellence and interest by those of1872. Friends in every State! help ua to make our journal better and better, by sending in your subscriptions and increasing yonr Clubs for the year just before us!
