LITERARY NOTES.
THB DATBBT NOVKL.9.
Among the latest novels issued by Messrs.
Harper & Brothers is a tale with the
simple title of Hired, by John Saunders,
author of Abel Drake's Wife, &c., &c. This
work has been a great success in England,
and, what is more important, the'success is
richly deserved. Since the appearance of
The Mill on the Floss, no tale of equal fresh
nsss, vigor and originality has appealed to
the taste and interest of the vast mass of
novel readers for whom the requisite
amount of Action must each year be pro
vided.
In some respects Birell reminds us
not a little of The Mill on the Floss. There
is the same minute delicacy of portraiture,
the same perfection of detail, the same
vivid insight into characters the most di
verse and capacity for reproducing them
with absolute vraisemblance, and, Anally, the
same marvellous art-finish and clear,
strong purity of style, which of themselves
would have made the book remarkable,
but which, combined with the other quali
ties we have mentioned, render it an intel
lectual triumph.
The scenes of the story are chieAy laid
In Wales, and its incidents are at once so
natural and dramatic as to rivet the read
er's attention from the beginning.
Os the heroine, whose name, Hirell, sig
uiAes in the Welsh tongue, Angel, or 'more
generally, “ Beam of Light,” it can fairly
be said that no fresher, lovelier, more
charming creation is to be found anywhere
.in modern English Action. . She is tender
of nature as a dove, yet possessed of that
exalted strength of character and princi
ple of which the “strain” of the martyrs
is composed; she nourishes the loftiest
spiritual ideas, but these serve only to
beautify the common duties of life, as our
earth, parched and barren, is beautiAed by
the encircling heavens.
It is the fate of this noble girl to be
ruined by the exalted sincerity of her abac
tions, and the unworthiness of the object
upon whom they are bestowed. Ruined,
not we mean as to the purity of her virtue,
which remains ever uudeAled and undese
crated, but in all the sweet aims, the gentle
ambitions, the tender idealisms of her love,
through the base, bitter disappointment
whereof life becomes to her as a glorious
Aower withered and trampled cruelly in
the dost, while even the clear splendors of
her faith pale in the up-gathering mists of
doubt, perplexity and pain. For the man
who has been Hirell’s evil genius, we feel
a degree of loathing and contempt which
in their depth and genuineness prove how
graphically that personage has been con
ceived and drawn. Sentimental, but
thoroughly selAsh, capable of admiring
good, yet always the vassal of evil, so domi
nated by egotism in its most dangerous
phases as to be incapable of true self-exam
ination, or self-appreciation, superAcially
brilliant and amiable, with the deceitful
gloss #f what many take to be virtue about
him, but a profound corruption and world
liness at heart, Sir John Cuuliff {the hero’s
uame) does more harm in the course of his
existence than many a deeper hypocrite
and person of a more deliberate, determined
wickedness. He is the type of a fashiona
ble worldling, with his evil propensities in
tenslAed by a one-sided culture and an in
tellect above the average in power, but
utterly divorced from conscientiousness.
In striking contrast with this man, are
Hircll’s father, Elias, and the rough Meth
odist preacher, Ephraim Jones. The for
mer is an artistic study. Peremptory aud
stern of bearing, he has underneath his
repellant front and harsh manners a great
well spring of humanity and genuine feel
ing which in times of real trouble is poured
forth without stint upon all who need such
healing waters. Marked out from his
youth for calamity, he meets all the blows
of fortune with a bravery only the more
admirable because it is not the courage of
a stolid, but a profoundly sensitive nature.
Upon Hired his affections centre; and
nothing, we think, in Action exceeds the
pathos of that silent agony with which he
is depicted as watching day by day his
daughter’s decline, the waning of her per
fect beauty into the land ot shadows, and
the passing of a spirit as perfect from his
passionate mortal grasp into the keeping
of the Hirell or “angel” sisterhood of
Heaven.
It is impossible here to do more than
hint at the unusual excellencies of this
noble story. Apart from the narrative, its
incidents and plot, we cannot fail to derive
a rich pleasure from the author’s style, so
vigorous in its Saxon simplicity, so sug
gestive in its poetic imagery and beauti
ful wealth ol illustration.
Mired is, in fact, a prose-poem, and the
writer is a poet although he may never*
have composed a rhymed couplet .or stanza
of any kind in his life.
Very different from the foregoing is the
anonymous tale of Bound to John Company ,
or The Adventures and Misadventures of
Robert Ainsleigh. This Is a quasi-historical
novel, full of exciting incidents and graphic
pictures of English life in town and coun
try more than a century ago. It also refers
t® the earlier scenes of the British conquest
of India, recalls to mind the magnificent
career of Clive, and so intertwines with
important public events the private for
tunes of its dramatis personm as to produce
a wed digested narrative, which partakes
of some of the best features of the histori
cal and social romance.
Some scenes of the war between British
adventure and Indian rule, iu the first
doubtful and clouded days of “John Com
pany,” are drawn with, a picturesque force
which stamps them upon the memory.
The horrors especially of the “ Black Hole
of Calcutta,” into which the perfidy of Sa
raja Doulah had lured the fragments of the
little army which had fallen into his power,
are described in a manner wed calculated
to reproduce themselves in dreams, dreams
of anguish, blood and despairing rage.
The narrator professes to have been one of
the few who survived that night, and his
details we have no reason to doubt. ‘ Our
first impulse,” says he, after having been
Imprisoned, “ was .one wild burst of rage.”
Then followed a scene ot liorror unparal
leled in the history of ages. One hundred
and forty-six wretches, many wounded past
hope, jammed together in a space of eighteen
feet square, open only by two small, dose
barred windows, looking to the westwarl a
quarter, whence, at that season, no air could
come! The block of livin" creatures
rolled desperately towards the door, in the
.hope to force it open. Unhappily , the door
opened inward , and this dead weight could
do nothing against it- Some unarmed
wretcfa<b> next tried to drag it open with
thefr hands and nails, but sll back pres
ently with bleeding, lacerated Rogers, howl
ing for pain P*
Mr. Howell, the British Commissioner,
imprisoned among the soldiers, believing,
as he watched the faces of the guard out
side, that he could detect some pity in the
looks of an old Indian sergeant, entreated
this man to get the prisoners relief by di
viding them into separate ceils, of whlifh
there were a plenty near at hand He em
phasized his entreaty by the promise of a
thousand rupees, to be paid to the ser
geant next morning.
The Indian disappeared for a few mo
ments, but soon returned to sa£ that the
thing was impossible. The tyrant Bura-
JA Doulah was sleeping, and the idea of
disturbing his rest simply in order that a
hundred or so of tortured inAdels should
be relieved was too Dreposterous.
“ We had not,’’ the narrative continues,
“ been shut up in this terrible hole more
than ten minutes when every one among
us fell into a perspiration so profuse as to
drain every drop of moisture from our
bodies. This brought on a raging thirst,
which increased every instant. * * *
Before we had been an hour immured this
thirst became maddening, and the cry for
4 water' was repeated in a hoarse, perpetual,
unintermittent clamor, resembling the in
sensate lowing of thirsty cattle ra'her
than the reasonable demand of humanity.”
Water was at length granted them, but
the opening between the bars was too nar
row to enable the skins to be passed
through. Thus, the agonies of Tantalus
were added to those of Dives. Backward
and forward the crowd swayed, in its in
tolerable pain. The feebler part dropped
down, or fainted, aud were trampled to
death by their crazed and infuriated qotn
rades. Over these corpses the throng
clambered and struggled, unawed by the
horror of death.
Meanwhile, we are told that this de
moniac anguish “ proved vastly entertain
ing to the guards, who held their torches
close to the bars and peered In upou the
sufferers, with horrible grins upon their
black faces, jeering and hooting at us for
very joy.”
What a vision of hell is this! A herd of
suffering wretches, with parched tongues
lolling from fevered lips, wrestling insen
sately with each other in the thick smoke
and stench of Tophet, while black-faced
demons glare upon and gloat over their
agonies.
Many chapters in Bound to John Company
are vivid and correct pictures of London
literary and artistic society during the
middle of the eighteenth century. Clear
through rapid glimpses are given ns of the
illustrious men of that epoch. The theatre
and drama are particularly well described.
On one occasion we catch a full view of
burly old Johnson laying down the law of
aesthetics and defending the dignity of “ hu
man letters” in a decidedly inhumane
manner.
In brief, this book is eminently worthy
the attention of the historical scholar and
student of past customs, habits and modes
of thought, no less than the professed novel
reader. The author is a man of discrimi
nation, ingenious fancy and tastefully cul
tivated style. We hope that he will write
again.
Under Foot is the title of another of the
“ select novels ” recently published. It is
hy Alton Clyde, (the author of Maggie
Lj/nn), whom we take to be a young writer,
and certainly one of.considerable cleverness.
His present venture is just one of those
tales which is calculated to. interest, not
too profoundly, and to excite our sympa
thies, but not to a troublesome degree if
wc take it up at the right time ; that is to
say, during some interregnum in business,
when distraction of miud is sought or in
the course of some dull journey by car or
boat.
The materials of the work are unoriginal,
the personages are somewhat commonplace,
and the plot is by no means very ingenious
or striking; still a pleasant style, some
power of pathetic description, and here and
there, a touch of sly humor, are quite suffi
cient to rescue the work from the black
list of failures and to entitie it to that gen
eral verdict o:’ commendation expressed in
the words : “ Agreeable reading for hours
which cannot be better employed.”
So Runs The World Away, by Mrs. 8. C.
Steele, is a vastly superior work to Under
Foot. There are flashes of real genius in
its pages.
Despite the clumsiness of the plot and a
diffuseness of narrative which at times is
not a little provoking, we have several
original studies from nature and at least
one specimen of portraiture in this novel,
which show tact, keenness of observation,
a mastery over some of the subtler elements
of human nature, and powers both of
analysis and combination by no means
usual—with the majority of writers of fic
tion. The general effect of the story is
sombre and depressing, yet it is too true to
nature and too evidently the genuine out
come of the circumstances described to
leave any room for just complaint on the
part of the reader, if he be anything of an
artist or capable of appreciating art in
others.
A Singular Statement.— The editor of
the Freeman's Journal , allnding to the re
cent terrible 'hail storm in Philadelphia,
says:
“ A friend, long resident in Buenos Ayres,
“ where all kind of furious convulsions are
“in order, assures us of two facts. One is,
“ that the old Cathedral bell, that echoes
“ all over the city, is rung at every ap
“ proach of a storm. The other fact is, that
“ while there are enough of tempests all
“ around, the city of Buenos Ayres is ex
“ empt from disasters of the kind. The
“ service, as it stands, attributes this pow
“ er to blessed bells over the spirits of the
“ air.
“ We believe the words of the service for
“ blessing bells are true. We do not like
“ to live out of sound of a consecrated bell.
“ it grieves us that, so often, after their
“ baptism, they are left as dumb dogs, when
“ they ought to speak.”
The “ Eagle Orator” of Tennessee.—
The sickness of the Hon. Gustavus A. Hen
ry. we learn from the Nashville Banner of
Tuesday, last is of such a serious character
—cancer of the stomach—that he cannot
live but a few days. Although well ad
vanced in life, his death would be a, great
loss to Tennessee, as well as to the country.
His many friends here and elsewhere will
hear of the “ Eagle Orator’s,” as well as of
the profound jurist’s dangerous illness with
profound sorrow, and, as the Banner says,
if the heart-felt prayers cSn avail, be would
be spared, at least, to see his beloved coun
try once more everywhere free, prosperous
and happy.”
The last fifty cent stamp looks like a lia
iarnent label, and has a picture of Stanton,
the champion suicide, fifteen minutes pre
vious to his severing the jugular. It is a
big thing for saloon-keepers, because a
white man will never carry a picture of
Stanton in his pocket if there is a saloon
or a cigar shop in the vicinity.
[New York Demoorat.
The town C. f YorkvlUe, 8 C., hag voted a
subscription of SSO,uCiC to the Air Line
Riiiroad at the glectiou,ju»t held there for
that purpose. In the whole town there
was not a solitary man who was opposed
to the subscription, and the vote was unan
imous in favor of It.
The Georgia Case.
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Oatette says:
“1 learn that the Georgia contest in the
House will be a llreo Aght. A settlement
by caucus dictation is found to be imprac
ticable. It Is impossible yet to predict
with certainty the result. Butler will in
sist upon perpetuating the reign of Bul
lock. The investigation fmtr under way
in the Senate Judiciary Committee may
have some effect upon doubtful members.
Besides, I learn privately that a majority
of the Senate, as weil as of the committee,
have been long convinced of Bullock’s mal
feasance in office. His character is on trial
In this whole business, and not much else."
A correspondent of the New York Dem
ocrat thus alludes to the Chronicle and the
Georgia investigation:
“It is said the if;l,800 admitted to have
been paid the Chronicle establishment by
Bullock was distributed as follows : John
W. Forney, $1,000; D. C. Forney, SSOO,
and the book-keeper, S3OO. Forney asserts
that the money was received for job print
ing ! How singular that the work should
have amounted to such a rouud sum, and
that it should have been distributed in the
manner described. There is a ‘job’ in
the business, no doubt; but as to the print
ing, people are somewhat incredulous.—
Bullock will be the next witness to appear
before the .Tndiciary Committee, and it is
understood their labors will then close. If
the correspondents of the Radical journals
are to be believed, the evidence will reveal
a startling record of corruption.”
The New York Express says : .
“ It appears, upon evidence, that the com
mittee are not made satisAed with the ex
planation furnished by the proprietor of
the Chronicle , as to the receipt of several
checks which were given by Gov. Bullock,
of Georgia. Whilst it is claimed that such
payments were made for job printing, it is
clearly elicited that the persistent on
slaught in the editorial columns of that
journal in opposition to the Bingham
amendmeut, had much to do with the pay
ment of the money. Gov. Bullock has
been summoned to testify as to the quid pro
quo for the payments.”

From Washington.
THE GEORGIA MUDDLE CONGRESSIONAL
PLANS FOR EXTRICATION—THE FAILURE
OF RADICAL RECONSTRUCTION.
Washington, J). C., May 11, 1870.
The Georgia roudlie is likely to prove
“ an elephant ” in the hands of the Radical
Congress. The leaders are absolutely at
fault, and know not what to do to extri
cate themselves. I have heard of giany
plans. Among them one to admit the State
at once, aud leave the question of the ten
ure of office of the Executive aud Legisla
ture to the courts. It is clear that great
difficulties beset this proposition. In the
meantime the country is becoming sick of
further trickery in this respect. Georgia,
(l mean the white citizens of that* State) by
pursuing the steady and strictly honorable
policy of non-action in the way of concilia
tion, and digniAed indifference as to what
their oppressors would do, has pushed the
unprincipled faction ruling the country to
the very verge of their power, without in
the least compromising even her interests.
A similar course on the part of the South
ern States generally would long since have
brought Congress to its senses.
In this connection it may be observed
that “ reconstruction,” as regards Tennes
see or any other of the reconstructed or un
reconstructed States, to use the phrase cur
rent in Congress, is essentially “ played
out.” Scarcely a corporal’s guard could
now be mustered in either House to com
mence the process in fresh localities, while
a year ago, or less, it might have been done
with injpunity. This shows the “revolu
tion ” to have received an important check.
To cotne to a stand-still threatens the dis
ruption of the Radical organization, it is
true—but to go further would render in
evitable the disintegration of this Empire !
This is the fearful dilemma in which llie
leaders are placed. Sumner aud Butler,
with a few of their satellites, would gladly
aud madly “ cross the Rubicon,” but their
influence with the public is goue forever!
“The robber fears each bush an officer.”
Those unprincipled men in and out of Con
gress who have lorded it over this land for
the past flve years with a high hand, and
who feel themselves guilty of conspiring for
the total overthrow of public liberty, aud
the subjection of all the parts of this great
country to the personal dominion of a few
Eastern despots, stand aghast at every
symptom of “disloyalty” to their ideas of
progress ! They feel, or feign to feel, great
danger in the growing desire of the West
to have the Capital removed to the Missis
sippi Valley, and profess to see in it a premo
nition of another sectional war. The people
of that section are also denounced as but a
shade (if that) better than secessionists, on
account of their disloyalty to the “protec
tive” system. The danger in this direc
tion is, of course, exaggerated, but if the
same overbearing course of conduct be per
sistently meted ont to the West that was
inexorably pursued towards the South
upon this very subject, who can tell what
will follow? Like causes produce like ef
fects. It is all false that the question of slav
ery brought on the late war. The proof upon
this point is patent and official. One of
the flrst official offers of Mr. Lincoln after
his election (backed by every leader of the
Republican party) was to guarantee negro
slavery forever by solemn constitutional com
pact. It was the usurpations of JfQ’ them
majorities in fastening upon the South a
system by which it was plundered for the
benefit of Eastern capitalists that led to its
secession, and no feature of the systenn was
more oppressive than this very tariff swindle.

THB RESPONSIBILITIES OP THE LIVES.
The liver has a very important part to in
the animal economy. It* function is twofold. The
fluid which it secretes tempers the blood and regu
lates the bowels, and upon the quantity and quadty
of the secretion depends, in a great degree, the adapt
ation of the blood to the requirements of the system
and the due removal oi the refuse matter which re
mains in the intestines after the work of digestion
ha - been accomplished.
One of the principal uses of Hostetter’s Stomach
Bitters ie to tone and control this somewhat unruly
organ. The anti-bilious properties of the preparation
are scarcely secondary to ils virtues as a stomachic.
Its operation upon the liver is no violent like that of
mercury, hut gradual and gentle. Instead of creating
a su-iden tumult in that sensitive gl-.ind, it regulates
its ”ctlon hy degrees. Hence, it is a safe remedy for
bilious disorders, while mercury, being a tremendous
excitant, is not. The more naturally and qmetly a
diseased organ can be restored to its normal condition
the better; and it is the peculiar property of this
harmless vegetable alterative to reinforce aud regu
late without exciting or convu sing.
The success which his attended its use as a remedy
for affections of the liver is proverbial. Persons of a
bilious habit who take it habitually as a protection
against the attacks to which they are constitutionally
liable, pronounce it the best liver ionic in existence.
The symptoms of an approaching tit of biliousness
can hardly he mistaken. A pain in the right side or
under the shotilder blades, a sass on tinge in tho
Whitts of the ey. s, sick headache, a feeling of drowsi
ness, low spirits, loss of appetite, constipation and
general debility are among the usual indications of a
morbid condition of the liver, and as soon as they ap
pear the Bitters should be resorted to in order to
ward off more Berious consequences. mj 15-dectl

NUT GRASS. NET GRASS.
Mow to Exterminate It!
H.» ING discovered a plan by which
the larmer and gardener can conquer and ex
terminate this great pest by agricultural pro
cess, with but little more than the ordinary
labor of cultivating laud, I offer to auy oue
desiring the information, and who will pledge
themselves uot to divulge the secret for any
consideration to another, to give them the plan
on receipt of FIVE DOLLARS—obligating
myseP in every case to return the money, with
interest, if a failure.
This plan I discovered by actual operation,
and have found it to he successful, and needs
only to be presented to the Intelligent mind to
obtaiu favor and adoption. 1 do not heaitate
to say that a hand by my process cm lend at
least half the usual quantity of land of very bad
nut the first, and all that a hand can do
anywhere the next year.
What I call nut grass is a small black cocoa
looking nut with numerous fibrous roots, and
having a main one shooting ont,, forming an
other DUt and blade of grass. These roots and
the bottom of the blade resemble the young
cane root.
