Novels and Novelists.

If one were asked to name the classic novelistß of the EngUsh-speakihg world he would probably mention) Defoe, j Swift, Fielding, Smollett, Sterne, Dr. Johnson , (Rasselatt) and Goldwin among the earlier ones, and Godwin, I Maturin, Anne Kadcliffe, Jane Porter, Begne Maria Koche, Miss Edgeworth, Miss Burney, Jane Austen, Charles Brockden Brown (the American super- ( naturalist), Bulwer, Disraeli, Captain • Marryatt, Beckford, Hope, Cooper, J Lever, Dickens, George Eliot and Hawthorne. The above names wou’d TVOVconld-net, be^omitted. Of course, others might be included in the list. For instance, Scott’s son-in-law, Lockhart, was a novelist of distinction in his day, but he never was a favorite novelist of the entire English-speaking world as most of the above writers were and are. He was never a universal household novelist, as they were and still are. “Robinson Crusoe,” “Gulliver’s Travels,” Mrs. Shelley’s “Frankenstein,” and Mrs. Radcliife’s “Mysteries of TTdolpho/’ and Johnson’s “Rasselas” are housepold books, world-books. Meantime the army of the Englishwriting novelists, living and dead, defies enumeration, like the autumnal leaves or the sands on the seashore. And the cry is, in all critical, journalistic, and review quarters that still they come. Meantime, the above writers of fiction remain the masters in that department of literature. Their supremacy is not disputed. Taine calls Scott the Homer of modern citizen life. Bulwer and Disraeli (I use the names by which they were originally and long known as writers) delineated, for the most part, the patrician life of England, and this they did with masterly pens, although they were most versatile writers, especially Bulwer was such, as the long list of his novels indicates. Dickens and Thackeray for a time, with their gush and satire of rank and caste, threw them into the shade, but they, or their novels, have re-emerged and are almost as much read as ever they were. Time does not dispel the charm of “Contarini Fleming” and “Coningsby,” and is not likely to. So with a number of Bulwer’s novels. Such as “Paul Clifford,” “Eienzi,” “The Last of the Barons,” etc., they must be read as long as Scott’s are. What a splendid picture of the stirring age of the “Last of the Roman Tribunes” is Bulwer’s novel of that name. Years ago some of our hypercritics were fond of declaiming from the lecture rostrum against Bulwer and Disraeli and in praise of Thackeray and Dickens. But the two former were as great in their way as were the two latter. As for -Fielding’s “Tom Jones,” torevert, abruptly,- to the earlier English novelists, its pages are not readable at the present time. Fielding was a great delineator of character and profoundly versed in the English human nature of his time, which was apt to be coarse, brutal and sensual. In fact, his “Squire Westerns” and “Tom Joneses” are too gross to be tolerated at this era. The reader of “Tom Jones” now would need to bathe himself thrice in running water by way of purification. Fielding’s “Parson Adams” is worthy to take its place alongside of “Don Quixote.” Richardson’s once famous novels of “Pamela” and “Clarissa Harlowe” would now be found too tedious in the perusal for the most determined novel reader. Smollett’s “Roderick Random” gives us vivid delineations of the rough old naval officers of the Commodore Trunnion sort, who made British men-of-war in the first half of the eighteentli century literally floating infernos by their brutalities. “Don Quixote.” “Gil Bias,” “Gulliver’s Travels,” “The Tale of the Tub,” “Robinson Crusoe,” “Tristram Shandy," “The Vicar of Wakefield,” “Easselas,” “Wilhelm Meister,” and “The Sorrows of Wertlier,” “Vathek,” Schiller’s “Ghost Seer," “The Nouvelle lleloise,” “Consuelo,” “Jane. Eyre Hope’s “Anastasius,” and “Uncle Tom's Cabin” are the unique books in the field of fiction, veritable world-books.— Boston, Traveller.

Growing Old GrjNeftilly. It is an easy matter to grow old, but not so easy to grow old gracefully, to accept the situation calmly, and submit resignedly to the inevitable. But few persons on the sunny side of three score and ten will admit that they are growing old. Most persons attribute any signs of decay, or any increasing physical disability incident to the ravages of time, to some cause which they can get away from—too close application to business, too long continuance ,in the same business, too much hard work at manual labor, or too close confinement at the desk or counter, climate, temporary derangement of the digestive organs, etc. They don’t seem to dream that they cannot do as much work as ever they did, and believe that they could do it if surroundings and circumstances connected with their business were changed. Nor does it seem to occur to them that the cold of the winters is not more intense than when they were younger, and that it is the thinness of the blood and the slower and more feeble pulsations of the heart, incident to advancing years, which make the winters seem harder and longer. Nor can they be convinced that their loss of appetite or impaired digestion are tne natural results of old age, or that if food were cooked differently or the proper remedies applied they could not eat just the same kind of food and as much of it as when young and in active life. They grow irritable and sometimes despondent, and finally determine to break loose, from their moorings, change their bus> ness and their location, engage in new work and surround themselves by new scene* and new influences, only to find in a short time that they are iio better off, can do no more work, and eat no more, nor relish their food better than before the changes were made. Nor is this all, nor the worst feature of it. They soon find themselves not adapted to their new business and unable roundings, and the balance of their days are spent in regretting that they left tne old homestead and severed the ties, business and social, which had so long bound them* to the place where the comforts and conveniences they had earned and established could never

again be’ enjoyed. And as years advance persons seem to forget that there is a certain point in their lives when the wheels of progress withiu themselves run very slowly or stop still, while those of the business and social world still move forward. They cavil at, complain and find fault with eveiytliing they cannot enjoy. They seem to forget that the things they now condemn in others much younger than themselve-, they once indulged in and enjoyed. They find fault with and complain at the manner of conducting public and private affairs by younger and more ambitious hands, forgetting that they too once did the same and ignoring the fact, that if they now know better ways of doing the same thing it ' is the result of scores of years of experience, an experience these younger heads are having just as they have had. There is nothing done as they would do it, and nothing rightly done if not done their way. —Cedar Bapids Times.

Khartoum.

Khartoum is a city numbering between fifty and sixty thousand people. Several European consuls reside there. The American consul Azar . Abd-el-Melek is a Christian Copt from Esneh, and one of the principal merchants. The European colony is small and continually changing; for Khartoum is a perfect grave-yard for Europeans, and in the rainy season for natives also, the mortality averaging then from thirty to forty per day, which implies three thousand to four thousand for the season. Khartoum is the commercial center of Soudan trade, amounting altogether to sixty-five million dollars a year, nnd carried on by one thousand European and three thousand Egyptian commercial houses. Drafts and bills of exchange upon Khartoum are as gold in Cairo and Alexandria, and vice versa. F rom official sources 1 learned that the city contained three thousand and sixty houses, many of them twostoried, each having from ten to one hundred and fifty occupants. Stone and lime are found in abundance, and the buildings are, after a fashion, substantial, the houses belonging to rich merchants being very spacious and comfortable. There are large bazars, in which is found a much greater variety of European and Asiatic goods than would be expected in such distant regions. In the spacious mar-ket-place a brisk trade is carried on in cattle, horses, camels, asses, and sheep, as well as grain, fruits, and other agricultural produce. Many years ago an Austrian Roman Catholic mission was established and liberally supported by the Emperor of Austria, and by contributions from the entire Catholic world. Ft occupies a large parallelogram, surrounded by a solid wall. Within this inclosure, in beautiful gardens of palm, fig, pomegranate, orange, and banana, stand a massive cathedral, a hospital, and other substantial buildings. Before the people of Egypt and the Soudan had been irritated by foreign interference, such was their toleration and good temper that the priests and nuns, in their distinctive costumes, were always safe from molestation, not only in Khartoum, but evem at El Obeid and the neighborhood, where the majority are Mussulmans and the rest heathens.

The Resistance of the Atmosphere.

Everybody has noticed that if we move a fan gently the air parts before it with little effort, while, when we try to fan violently, the same air is felt to react; yet if we go on to say that if the motion is still more violent the atmosphere will resist like a solid, against which the fan, if made of iron, would break in pieces. This may seem to some an unexpected property of the “nimble” air through which we move daily. Yet this is the case, and if the motion is only so quick that the air cannot get out of the way a body hurled against it will rise in temperature like a shot striking an armor-plate. It is all a question of speed, - and that of the meteorite is known to be immense. One has been seen'to fly over this country from the Mississippi to the Atlantic in an inappreciably short time, probably in less than two minutes; and though at a presumable lieigkhof over fifty miles, the velocity with which it shot by gave every one the impression that it went just above his head, and some witnesses of the unexpected apparition looked the next day to see if it had struck the r chimneys. The heat developed by arrested motion in the case of a miss of iron moving twenty miles a second can be calculated, and is found to be much more than enough, not only to melt it, but to turn it into vapor, though what probably does happen is, apeording to Professsor Newton, that the melted surfaee-poitions are wiped away by the pressure of the air and volatized to form the luminous train, the interior remaining cold, until the difference of temperature causes a fracture, when the stone breaks and pieces fall —some of them at red-hot heat, some of them, possibly, at the temperature of outer space, or far below that of freezing mercury. —The Century.

Not a Difficult Dialect.

Bertie—Say, Mr. De Garmo, is it hard to talk the way you do? De Garmo—What do you mean, Bertie ? I don’t talk different from other people. Bertie—Oil, you do! You can’t fool me. Pa says you talk the worst twaddle of any man he ever heard.— Judge. It was Thackeray’s delight to read each number of “Dombey and Son” as it issued from the press. He had often been heard to speak of 1 the work in terms of the highest praise. When it had reached its fifth number, wherein Mr. Dickens described the end of little Paul with a depth of pathos which produced a vibratory emotion in the hearts of all who read TU Mjr. Tliaekeray seemed electrified at the thought that there was one man living who could exercise so complete a control O'er him. Putting number five of “L'ombey and Son” jn his pocket, he hastened down to Mr. Punch’s printing office, and, entering the room, he dashed it on the table with startling vehemence and exclaimed: “There’s no writing against such power a» this—one has no chance! Bead’that chapter describing young Paul’s death; it is nnsttrpMsed—it is stupendous!"— R, H. Stoddard,

Baffled by a Huckster.

Macklin and John ’ O’Keefe were walking through the Little Green in Dublin (at that time a market for fruits and ‘vegetables). The good.humor of the sellers struck O’Keefe, and he spoke of it. “Aye,” said Macklin, “they're comical, and good-natured, and ready-witted, and obliging; but you never can get a direct answer from them. “Ho,” said O’Keefe, “that’s not fair; put your question first. ” “Well,” said IMacklin, coming up to an old woman who had a basket of vegetables before her, “what is the price of that cauliflower?” “That cauliflower!” she replied, taking it up in her hand. “Sir, that’s as fine a cauliflower as ever was seen, either in a garden or out of a garden.” “Yes, but what is the price of it?” “The price! the divil a prettier cauliflower could you see of a long summer’s day. ” “Well, it’s pretty enough, but what’s the price of it?” “what’s the price of it! Arrah, sir, you may talk of your tulips and roses and pinks and wallflowers and gilliflowers, but the flower of all flowers is a cauliflower.” “But why not tell me the price of it?” “Ah, you’ll not get such a cauliflower as this, sir, all Over the market—here, feel the weight of it.” The friends turned away ignorant to the last of the price of that cauliflower. * * * * Do icate Diseases, affecting malo or female, however induced, speedily and permanently cured.

Washington had been sitting in the Virgin a Legislature years and years without making any speech, when he was picked up and sent to Congress, and there made Commander-in-Cliief of the forces of the revolted colonies. Suppose he had not been in the Virginia Legislature all those stupid years, what prospect would there have been of making h m Commander-in-Chief ? He was not nominated for any great services he had done in war, though he had been in action; he was nominated because he had been faithful as a Deputy in the State Legislature, and the delegation knew him and put him forward where*he derived his immortal fame. His political administration might have been a failure but for the confidence he had obtained in the hearts of the people by national services known to all, covering a period of ten years. So he was the unanimous choice for President. Suppose he had not been in the war, which was not a school of political economy, what chance would he have had to he President? And in point of fact nearly every great man in history was not born either pure or great, but he became true and distinguished by sitting in the public siglit. — Gath. _____ For eight years Col.' D.

A Clever Reporter.

This story is told of Julius Chambers, the managing editor of the Herald, by one of his own chiefs: “Some twelve years ago I sent Chambers to the insane asylum at Bloomingdale to report from acti al observations abuses which were said to exist there. He went tljere under due process of law. He ’pretended to be insane, and acted his part so well as to deceive two physicians, a professional nurse, the magistrate who committed him, and the expert doctors yho had charge of the asylum. He was in the asylum for two weeks and was released when a writ of habeas corpus was served on the keepers. When in Spain for the Herald,' some years since, Chambers got possession of a treaty between Spain and this country, which General Daniel E. Sickles was negotiating. He wished to telegraph it to the Herald, but knew he could not get the Spanish censor to approve it. He hit upon the queer alternative of telegraphing the points of the treaty as if it applied to some adventure of the Prince of Wales in India. It was all nonsense to the censor and to the man who received it at the Herald office, but Chambers, after the dispatch was sent over the wires, telegraphed a key to explain the hidden mean ng. I think it was the first (and last) instance on record of sending a cipher first and the key to it afterward.” —New York Graphic. Used Bed Star Cough Cure effectually. Dr. C.

The digestive organs, when healthy, crave so il; the nervous system, whan vigorous and tranquil, gives its jioASussor no unoasiness at night. A tonic, to be effective, should not be a nu-ro appetizer, nor are the nerves to be strengthened and soothed by the unaided action of a sedativo or a narcotic. What is required is a medicine which invigorates the stomach and promotes assimilation of food l>y the Bystem, by •which means the nervous systsin, as well ns otuer parts of tho physical organism, is strengthened.

The oldest family story paper published in the West is the Chicago Ledger, and its growth has been steady and abiding. The present year has so far been the most successful since its st irt. The Ledger gives no premiums, but the money paid out by many publications for watches, chromos, etc., is usel in making the paper more acceptable to its readers. By this course it is enabled to give a family paper for $1.50 per year which is equal to its Eastern $3 competitors. Don’t take our word for it, however, but send for a sample copy, which will be mailed free by the Ledger Company, 271 Franklin street, Chicago.
