In the outline wo have presented, it is obvious
■that Bolwer has woven a tangled web of spirit
ual and ordinary life, which :t was beyond bis
skill to unravel or so to blend as to make a har
monious -whole. Tbo supernatural forma the
most considerable portion of tbe incidents that
'eoMbrls the ground work of the otory
tbe common events with which they are blended
appear to be accessory and incidental. Thus
the main action is the loVa adventure between
. Fenwick and Lillian, and this is made subs
sidiary to tbe workings ot aft impenetrable my a
ticism. The happiness, the very destiny, of the
lovers is shaped by tbe influence of an enemy
superuaturally gifted, who pursues them through
every turn of their' fortune and complexion of
their paaaion with an unrelenting will, like the
inexorable destiny of tbe Ancients.
The structure of the tale ia very inartificial,
the numerous dissertations causing frequent
chasms in the narrative and interruptions to its
continuity. We are not sure that we have the
clue to the mural design of the work, and what
ia called in fiction poetical justice. Margrave
dies, and his death may be deemed the penalty
oi his unholy purposes and dark deeds. The
principal moral, however, of tbe work we may
suppose to lie in this: Fenwick, un.il nearly
the close ol the book, is a Materialist and diabe
liovex in a Future State. He becomes a convert
to tho force of Faber’s reasoning beiore the se
tion terminates.
Onr leading objection to the book as a work
of prose fiction is the uses to which the super
natural ia applied in tbe construction and con
duciot thestory. If we give tbe utmost possi
ble latitude to the Mesmeric influence and its
attendant phenomena of Clairvoyance—if we
allow all the effect imaginable to Trance and
Somnambulism—tj the hallucinations ol the
Imagination—we sliali be very far from compas
sing tho mysteries of the Luminous Shadow—
the Wand and the Casket. They approach
nearer to the powers of Magic than to any
known effect from ascertained phenomena.—
That a writer like Bulwer should minister
popular credulity, by the revival oi the nearly
obsolete mysteries of the Rosicrusiaus, and in
corporate in a fictitious work so many of the
delusions that he may have cursorily met with
in his reading, that are found in the pages of the
Alchemists and the.Seekors after the Elixir of
Life, is itself enough to excite surprise; but
that he should have been at the pains to accu
mulate from every source of superstition—from
all the repositories ot the supernatural every
thought or fancy that hypothesis has conceived
—seems to be the very achme of absurdity.—
There is, in fact, mixed up in this farrago of the
actual and supernkRbe popular belief of every
age and country—here a fragment of Heathen
superstition—there a bit of ftoaiernsian phi|os
ophy—all blended with no insignificant mixture
of the wonders of, Electro-Biology—with no
small portion of the machinery of trance, vision
hallucination, incantation, magic wands, snad
owa, which succeed each other iii endless pro
cession.
Bulwer cannot be complimented for his inven
tive or constructive powers in planning his su
pernatural machinery and personages in this
novel. The Luminous Shadow presents a sin
gular combination. It is impalpable, yet a voice
issues from it, and has a resemblance to human
iorm and lineaments—an image of Margrave.—
Margrave is himself an amalgam of the natural
and supernatural. He ia identified with the Lu
minous Shadow, and yet exhibits the greatest
of human infirmities—the dread ot death.—
Ayesha blends in her composition as many at.
tributes of the supernatural as the natural.—
Even the wand is imbued with active and mirac
ulous properties. Jo the hands of Fenwick it
throws Margrave into convulsions, almost causing
hit death. This piece of seemingly inert mat
ter, thus endowed with life-giving and death'
dealing properties seems to be a union of the
hazel twig, used.aa a divining rod aqd the myste
rious qualities eaid to be possessed by certain
stones fonnd in'the island of Ceylon, efficacious
in curing some diseases, and of an essence
which Eastern superstition has assigned the
virtue of an Elixir ot Life.
Nor in the invention or delineation of*
character has Bulwer shown his usual felicity
Tha central figure of the picture, Fenwick, and
the hero of the tale, is represented as a man of
robust mind, firm resolve, well balanced facul
ties, andi although of some excitability of tem
perament, a determined enemy to all forms of
popular credulity. He had demolished the spec
ulative dogmas of Dr. Lloyd on Mesmerism, yet
ho is Drought repeatedly beiore the reader as the
victim and slave of supernatural influences. He
bows down before tbe deity of superstition in
spite of his dear understanding, bis great ac
quirements, and his detestation of those-arts
and practices which operate on nervous temper
aments throngh the influence of a superior will.
There u evidently here a palpable inconsistency
ia traits of character.
The character of Margrave is out ol Nature.
He is pictured as a child in playfulness—in
sportive gsity, and yet n very demm in guilty
desires, ot brilliant intellect—of wayward fan
cy he appears on the scene only to draw.into his
complicated meshes- angelic purity and inno
cence. He is in the realms of fietion tui generic.
He appears to operate in the domain he has cho
sen to display his transcendsnt talents without
adoquste motive. He possesses all tbe gifts of
nature and fortune-all the grafea that conier
•o«*l distinction. He is not ambitious, nor
avaricious, nor sensuous, yet he acta on two
natures, those of Fenwick and Lillian, with no
prospect of advancing his nnholy purposes, or
extending his power, for he had pnt himself in
communication with all the professors of the
occult art in tho East—with Dervishes, with
Poraiaa Magii, with Abysinian soothsayers,
and they had tanght him all their secrets, and
be had purchased tl (.their talismans and essen
ce* for. the renewal of life—for the attainment

* - powers aa a clairvoyant over a
her
insr
subject with ft
more i hart usually sensitive and nervous tem
perament. He brings her into a trance of long
duration, in which she loses all consciousness.
In this trance he compels her to flee her moth

make her an instrument oj/jiis
account of her peculiarly nervous and suscepti
ble organization.
And here we would ask, on what principle
of Mesmeric influence, according to the art
as explained by its professors, the author
makes it act beyond tbe time and place in
which the manipulation takes place ? The
usual demonstrations of its power are felt
when the Mesmerist and Clairvoyant are
brought into contact. . Do the resources of
Electro-Biology enable the Mesmerist to re
move the person whose will he controls, not
merely imaginatively, but bodily, hundreds of
miles f This is the first feat of the kind of
which any record has been’ made.. But Lil-
lian not" only does ibis; she loses in her pro
longed trance all consciousness and recoilec
tion. This is the ordinary effeot of that
abeyance of the intellectual faculties called
trance, bnt the author seems to have com
bined, in this temporary loss of mental pow
er, with no interruption of locomotive ac
tivity, tho powers of both the Trance and the
Mesmeric influence. Lillian, when free from
this influence, and the insanity. that visits
her is depicted with delightful gentleness,
and the softer traits of character, although
her dreamy temperament, her exquisite sen
sitiveness to nervons impressions, her visions,
even when not under Mesmerio influence, ap
pear to remove her from this sublunary sphere
—she would seem not to be ah inhabitant of
this planet.
At the oloso she appears in more'natural
guise. The tide, of her mere.human affec
tions returns, and the flow is sweet ah$ de
lightful, when her reason is recalled, and they
resume .their dominion over hfer susceptible
nature. Iii this part of tht work, the author
displays that force^id natural passion that
recall some of the finer passages of his ear
lier novels.
Mrs. Poyntz is drawn with some power as
a womqn of hard, masculine mind, of a coura
geous but selfish spirit, ruling all who come
within the sphere of her iron will, which her
instructive knowledge of character, tact and
sagacity enable her to do. r
Julius Fabre is an interesting portrait of a
man who has so cultivated the moral, social,
and intellectual faculties as to have pre
served them in admirable balance: He ia a
philosopher in the widest sense of the term
—having the freshness of youth in his mind
and affections down to a green old age, his
moral perceptions and sensitiveness unsullied
by connection with the world.
Fenwick, writes a book in whioh
doctrines of Materialism and Infidelity are
-expounded with all the power of which he is
capable, and ho is won- back to those stan
dards of belief that assume the soul to have
an existenco independent of the physical
conslitntion, and yet he is conducted to this
conclusion through a supernatural process,
by which it would appear the author has set
up spiritual influences to combat the ertors
ol mind. Besson, in such a process, appears
to be placed in subordination, for the purpose
of enlightenment as to. the real province and
offices of the soul. Surely it did not require
an exposition of the arts and devices that ad
dress themselves to the imagination to distin
guish real from false spiritual influences, and
vindicate the immortal prinoiple within our
tabernacle' of flssh
But it would seem that it was not the author’s
design to do this—to discriminate between the
false and the true in the spiritual wond, for he
employs the agency of every form of supersti
tious belief, in making out’the action of his sto
ry, and leaves the unsatisfactory impression on
the mind that he is a believer in a great variety
of supernatural appearances. He at all events
leaves unexplained a number of these appear

up the room with the nauseous fumes, then
you would have something to complain of.
At this point we modestly suggested that
editing a daily, paper and attending to the
business conn-oted therewith is about as try

unless the convenient phrase is accepted Of a
heated or excitable imagination, predisposed by
nervous organization to hallucinations. This
explanation might apply to Lillian, but not to
Fenwick, who is not less impressionable, and
through whom the largest portion of the super
natural phenomena are made to piodnce their
meat potent effects.
. The persuasive logic of Fabre must be sup
posed to have worked some of tho changes that
led Fenwick to his spiritual*regeneration; but
it will be recollected that it is not until aome-
time after the utterances of Fabre, and not until
the last scene in tho drama of superstition had
been acted out, that the skepticism of Fenwick
gives way, and the clear recognition of a soul
and hereafter becomes a part of his belief.

We have scarcely turned to go back into
the office, when a dyspeptic friend living
three-fourthB of a mile from our office en a
cross street, aeeoats us thus: “I xcant to
know why I can’t get my paper sooner of a
morning; and sometimes it don’t come ill
aii.” ;> •••;
Soon after, we. meet a billious ifriend who
wants to know why we don’t, pitch into the
ter they had arrived, to -remain aVflft days ...
right in his wily and in the way of every City Council on acoount of that big mud
all
friends, each one of whom thought he had
the hardest lot on earth, we will here lay
eefore our readers the recital of our diffioul
t’ts- which we gave them as a portion■ of one
day s experience as editor and proprietor of
■a. newspaper.
As we enter our office in the morning, the
confidential clerk who opens onr letters
hands us a short communication, quietly
remarking that “them fellers at Marietta
have nVagain in the price of their paper.”
We hastily glance at the contents and find
that the paper mills have made a heavy ad
vauce upon us. We indignantly pass on to
the press-room and find a good portion of the
floor flooded with water. We ask Billy what
is the matter and he replies, “Nothing bnt a
chip in one of the fines and.the’engine boiled
over.” We then ask Billy how there came
to* be so many waste -papers (about 200—
mostly on the floor, under the press or tables.)
“Well,* r says he, “the last paper you got at
Marietta ain’t fib account. About a fifth
of it is split ap, so it won’t run through.
We start back, and the mailing clerk accosts
us saying, “Can't write without fire such a
morning as this.”. We call .the porter andi
ask why a good fire is not made, when he
replies that he can’t' make it bora, as the
last load of ooal is nearly all rocks. Our
confidential olerk again asks ns what he shall
do with a lot of indistinct, blotted, torn-up,
badly patched ehinplaaters signed, “S
Smith,” all sent in a letter from a Post Office
in Alabama, in which the writer requests ns
to “fling him in” one subscription for a year,
for having made up for us a club and sent
tbe money, (the aforesaid batok of Alabama
shinplosters.)
We step to the front dior a moment, to
catch the free air, while we try to arrive at
a solution of the troubles, just named, when
a little negro comes dashing ap and says,
“Missus wants a paper; Wesley ftinged
hern over de fense in de yard and de puppy
tored it up.” Just then a red-faced man,
with a dilapidated military coat on, steps up
and inquires who is the man who wants to go
as a substitute? We tell him to walk into
the office and the clerk will give him the
name. He has scarcely passed ns, when an
other man asks if wo can tell where he can
hire a little nigger gal to sorter help Lis
fo ks as they are most all sick. We answer
that we cannot as none are advertised this
morning. ‘-We don’fctokft a paper,” the man
replies, “’lowed you knowed.”
Next we meet a gentleman formerly from
Kentucky, bill now a refugee in the South,
who asks, “have you anything from Tallaho-
ma? Don’t you think Bragg will be remov
ed now f” We reply that we cannot tellthe
President knows best.
While we are finishing this last remark, an
old friend of ours from the country approach
es and says, “I believe I will take your paper
this year, if yon hain’t ris on it.”. We tell
him our Weekly is greatly enlarged and is
only $3 a year, and that a bushel of yams
and' a dozen eggs will bring him money
hole in front of his house, whera they dug
the hill down and threw in re^iMjd./ -
Tho next man wo jne.et wonders where in the
world he can get a pair.of cotton cards, and
what they allow for sheepskins. ' Next comes
into our office a lame soldier who asks ns to
show him the way to Col. Lee’s office.., jin
less than two minutes after wo have complied
with this request, an acquaintance from the
country steps in and asks us to walk with
him to the ProTOSt Marshall’s' office to idehti-'
fy him, so that he can get a passport to go
home.
After an hour spcnt.in this way, we .hurry
up to our.sauotum to look’ over exchanges
and correspondence find but few papers,
and hone from Richmond, Charleston or Mo
bile; find. one. or two letters from .men. we.
never; knew-m 1 heard of-bltRir^,j asking us to'
change tneir paper to some Post Office, with
out staling where tlioy are now taking it, fiV
though we had plenty of time to look through
all those “eight ponderous volumes” to find
hisname, - v.--'
* The next letter, is from a wounded Boldier,
complaining of the arrogance insults and in
attention of tbe Doctors in the hospitals,- and
neglecting the sick and wounded soldiers
generally, and hoping wo will “blow them up
in our widely, circulated, and valuable jour-,
nal.” The next letter is a badly written and
blotted obituary notice, the. writer asking to
“correct all errors and publish the Bame and
miich . oblige humerpusreadera.” - n Another
letter is a long and severe -tirade against Joe
Browu for some real or imaginary wrong....
Sfton - there is a rap ut ."tfie door of our
sanctum. We invite the peasou to came in,
when a soldier asks if wei have any “payrolls
or sdriptive lists.” Of course we have uotb-
ing of the kind in our sanctum, but we have
to tell him where he can fiord them. We have
not more than got ourselves well squared up
to our desk to fix up something for the paper,
when our Foreman oomes in hurriedly saying
“Copy, sir.” We have nono ready, and have
to give him something that is only half ready,
or something that wo would not pat in. the
paper, if we bad anything else prepared; but
tho printer can’t wait, and must h ive some
thing to work on.
We impatiently turn to our desk and’ have
not more than got ourself composed and our
mind in proper train of thought on (what we
consider) an important editorial when we hear

such things in the Cohtoderacv, and I’ve been
looking for this Speech two weeks.” We tell
him we will publish it next week. Wo have

other man, who has come up in the meantime,
says, “That is all I’ve, got agin your paper!
You always publish such nonsense as Hill’s
and Johnson’s spseohos and tho Supremo

proclamation in to day ?
Soon after dinner persons commence com
ing in and asking: “Evening paper out yet’”
“No sir,” we reply. “What time wiU it be
out ?” “Five o’clock,” wo again reply ; 8n( j
these questions are asked and the same an
swer given with hut frw variations, a hun
dred times a day. Occasionally one will give
it a little variety by saying ha can’t wait,
and then ask if. we have “anything good in
the paper to-day.”.' .
These are not the half of onr daily troubles,
and the most serious and important of them
are not alluded to in this aniele Now, un
der these circumstances if -onr wife should
happen to die, and onr head become a little
frosted over, and we should happen to gj bnt
among the girls just for recreation, we hope
the dear creatures will remember this recital
