OOT. 26.1870 Periodicals, —The Galaxy for Novem ber is at hand with as interesting and varied contents as usual. Justine Mc- Oarty’s novel comes first, for stea ’y going, old-fashioned readers; “Overland ” supplies the sensational part, left, vaeaut by Chas- Reade, and not. a very not'ceable tale. “Nothing by Halves" completes the usual amount. of fiußoij. , ilarl Benson contributes one of his IlnWrat on a subject of present Interest, entitled “Reminiscences of the KiDg of Prussia.” Ex-Secretary Welles writes about Sumter and the measures for its relief in 1861. Then conies one of those fascinating semi scientific articles, peculiar to the Galaxy, called the “ Reality of Medi cine.” Sketches follow of Dumas and Mon signore Capet, the latter the original of Gatesby in Disraeli’s Lothair. Some pass able poetry and the best, part of the maga zine, the last fifty pages, including Twain’s jokes, the Galaxy Miscellany, and RevleW of Current Literature, English and foreign, closes this,nvupber, equal to any of its predecessors. Lippincott'i Magazine for November is re- vyliieh, to a large •' s, are gi ven complete. It is perhaps excusable that one story should run through a series of numbers, but It is injudicious because aggravating 1o the average or occasional reader, to have more' than half the maga zine taken us with instalments of matter of which he has never read the beginning, and of which he will probably never see the end. The papers of this number are all good. The monthly gossip is chatty and the book notices passable. “The Yankee on the Throne of Prance,” and the “ Victim of Dreams,” are not without their humor. The Calvert family is an interesting sketch of the home of Lord Baltimore. The “Btone Annals of the Past” and the “Three Triumphs” are readable, especially the lat ter, which gives the history of some re markable feats in engineering. This Is a good number, and Lippincott’a is a good magazine. Gordon on Lee —Gen. Wade Hampton’s Lee’s feelings when he surrendered at Ap pomattox Court House, is fully corrobo rated by Gen. Gordon, of Georgia, who said, a few days ago: Can I ever forget? No, never can I for get the words which fell from his lips as I rode beside him amidst the defeated, de jected, and weeping soldiery, when, turn ing to me, he said : “ I could wish that I was numbered among the fallen in the last battle.” Gen. Gordon also sgld, amongst many other thing o , for which we have not room: It has been my fortune in life to have come in contact with some whom the world pronounced great—some of the earth’s celebrated and distinguished—-but I declare it here to day, that of all mortal men whom it lias ever been my privilege to approach, he was the greatest; and I as sert here that, grand as might be your con ceptions of the man before, he arose in in comparable majesty on more familiar ac quaintance. This can be affirmed of few men who have ever lived or died, and of no other man whom it has ever been my for tune to approach. Thk MuC ullocu-Bhiu noli Marriage. —Madame Brignoli, nee Miss Isabel Mc- Culloch, deems it necessary to publish the following card, under date of New York) October 9: I beg the use of your columns to deny the many Incorrect and absurd accounts of my marriage that have been going the rounds of the press. For reasons of a business nature, I was advised not to pub lish the marriage, but as these no longer exist, I beg leave eo state that I was mar ried to Signor P. Brignoli on the 14th of last July, in St. Paul’s Church of Scotland, Montreal, Canada, by Rev. J. M. Jenkins, p. D. IlTrotn the London Standard. General Lee. Tit Announcement that General R. E. Lee has been struck clown by paralysis, and not expected to recover, will be received, even at this crisis, with universal interest, and will everywhere excite a sympathy and regret which testify to the deep impression madfe on the worid at large by his character and achievements. Few are the generals who have earned, since history began a greater military reputation; still fewer are the men of similar eminence, civil military, whose personal qualities would bear com parison with his. The bitterest enemies of hisconntry hardly dared to whisper a word against tli3 character of her most distin guished general, while neutrals regarded him with an ndmiratWh\ for his deeds and a respect for Ills lofty and unselfish nature wjjlch almost grew iuto veneration, .-and his own countrymen learned to look up to him with as much confidence and esteem as they ever felt for Washington, and with an affection which tlrffc cold demeanor and austere temper of Washington could never Inspire. The death of such a man, even at a.moment so exciting as the present, when all thoughts are absorbed by a nearer and present conflict, would be felt as a misfor tune by ail who still retalu any recollec tion of the interest with which they follow ed the Virginian campaigns, and by thous ands who have almost forgotten the names of Fredericksburg and Chancellorsvllle,the Wilderness and Spottsyl vania. Truer great ness a loftier nature, a spirit more unselfish, a character purer, more chivalrous, the world has rarely, if ever known.

And well they may, for his charac ter and his life afford a complete answer to the reproaches commonly cast on money grubbing, mechanical America. A couutry which h&sf;iven birth to men like him, and those who followed him, may look the chivalry of Europe in t’ne face without shame; for the fatherlands of Sidney and of Bayard never produced a nobler soldier, gentleman, and Christian than General Robert E. Lee. After the Funeral. A PICTURE OF LIFE AND DEATH. Os all the returnings home, the return from the grave after the funeral is the most intensely sad. Who that has ever followed one dearly beloved to his last rest will not agree that it is even so t While the lost one was sick, we went in and out, anxious, sorrowing, fearful. The solicitude to relieve and care for him en grossed* us ; the apprehension of losing him excited and agonized us, hut there was no room nor time for loneliness or sense ot present desolation. While lie lay dead beneath the home roof, there was hurry and bustle in prepa ration for the final rites. Friends must tie apprised and Invited ; the funeral arrange ments definitely made ; the mourning pro cured and fitted; the hospitalities of the house must befit the orca°fmi ; all Is ex citement and tension; the toss is not. vet felt. But when the coach drops us at our door “after the funeral,” then it is that the work of the destroyer begins to be ap parent; the very house seems lonely,•and still and sepulchral, though it be in the heart of the town, and though its threshold bo thronged with friendly feet, It seems empty and void. The apartments, oh! how deserted—especially the room where he fought and surrendered in the awful conflict. Here, there, everywhere, are memories of him. How they make the tears start now, though we have often con templated them calmly ever since lie died. Those are Ms clothes—how paintully dis tinct is our recollection of how he looked in every one of them, and when ami where he last wore them. These are his books, the one he last read, with the leaf turned down where his place was. There is his chair in the fireside corner, where he loved to sit. There his ever vacant seat atlhe family board. During the sickness we had not, so much noticed these—we hoped ever thßt he might use or occupy them again ; now we know it cannot be, and this shows us the dreadful vacuity everywhere. Oh, how dark and dismal come down the first nlsht shadows “after the funeral!” No night was ever so dreary or so long— the tickings of the clock reverberated like bell strokes—such deep silence—uo foot steps now on the stairs, or overheard In the sick chamber—no nurse and watchers to come and say “he is not so well, and asks for yon ” —no, ludeed, you may sleep on now and take yoqr rest If yon can. Poor, bereaved heart, it will be long be fore the sweet rest you once knew will re visit your couch. Slumber will bring again the scenes through which you have just “ wakened and wept,” and yon will start from it but to find all too real. God pity the mourners “ after the fune ral.” Mrs. Baubauld’s One Poem. —Henry Orabb Robinson, in his Diary, relates the following anecdote of the poet Words worth, in connection with some charming lines by Mrs. Barbanld : Lucy Aiken, after the death of Mrs. Bar bauld, published her collected works, of which I gave a copy to Miss Wordsworth. Among the poems is a stanza on life, writ ten in extreme old nge. It. was long after I had given these works to Miss Words worth, that her brother said: “ Repeat, me that stanza by Mrs. Barbanld." I did so. He made trie repeat it again. And so he learned it by heart. He was at the time walking In bis sitting-room at Rydal, with his hands behind him ; and I heard him mutter to himself, “ I am not in the habit of grudging people their good things, but I wish I had written those lines.” Here it it is: Life! we’ve been long together, Tnrouiib pleasant and through elouiiy weather ; ’Tie hard to part when frieuds are dear; Perhaps ’twill cost a sigh, a tear ; Tuen steal away, give little warning, Choose thiue own time; Say not good night, but in some brighter clime Bid me good morning.

Yet Southern people continue to buy and read It as a literary weekly. [Richmond Dispatch. A story In the New York Commercial about Qeo. Lee, dated a few years before the outbreak of the war, turns on the Iden tity of color between his mustache and a lady’s white muff. As his mustache at that period was nearly or quite black, the anecdote is clearly fiction. I [ Winchester Tfews.
