90 Very little has been heard OF the poet PERA1
VAL. of late, and some regret has been expressed
his silence. 1t is now said that he has become
ascetIc, has thrown aside his pen and quite abandon
ed the outer world. in the pursuit Of the feast Of in
teect offered by the privacy Of room into which no
guest Is admitted. The Louisville Journal thus re-
ours TO his singular retirement:
"Self-mmured in room Of the hospital in the ex-
trcme suburbs Of New Haven-a city Of which poet
should be proud-this gifted and eccentric being ves
as he has lived for the last quarter Of century,
purely solitary and ascetc life. He is wholly abb
so,bed in intellectual pursuits, and shrinks with pain.
FIJI sensitiveness from all the luxures and amenities
of life. No Eastern anchored ever aduIed more
completely the comforts and re6nements of elegant
rank for the blank privations of his ce-no storied
recluse ever voluntarily renounced a brilliant
Of usefulness and fame for the lonely vgils Of
hermitage. In this desoation, rejoicing, it is said,
in but single chair he has surrounded himself with
a magnificent library and philosophical apparatus,
from which friend and foe alike excluded, and in
which, though dead to all beside, he seeks and finds
the solace and charms Of intellect"

leeting postage ON the reduced rate, IN advance,
are entitled to the commission, although they
may be turned out Of office the next day; and
the papers also must be delivered, f. zee of post

the receipt Of such former Postmaster, or other
satisfactory evidence, that the aforesaid pay
ment has been fully made and that it was
made whilst he was in office. In keeping the
account of such paper, the succeeding Post
master must enter them in his quarterly re-

the effect that they had been accounted for in

THE BOURBON PRINCE.

Tue History OF THE Royal DAUrHIs Louis XVII
OF FRANCE. For sale by Franck Taylor, Penn
avenue Washington, d. C.
In his preface, the author says: This little
book has been derived from the large French
work Of De neutrality-suspicious. XVI, la We
son AgOnie Ia Mort The object of the writer
has been to present, in a condensed and popu-
lar form, that portion of the elaborate volumes
of the French author which bears directly upon
the personal history of the Dauphin, SO that
the reader might have in its unity, unencum-
bered with unnecessary historical detail, the
life of the young Prince"
The writer also states. in his preface, that he
accepts the death Of the Dauphin as an histor-
ical fact established by the full, minute, and
we'll considered testimony of De Beauchesne,
beyond any chance of doubt on the part of the
intelligent and honest, and even Of cavil from
the skeptical and disputatiouS.
We entirely dissent from the author in his
view of Beauchesne's work, which we have
read and, after careful examination of the
details which he thinks unnecessary to the
history of the Dauphin's imprisonment, we
came to just the opposite conclusion to that ar.
rived at by him. We do not think that there
is particle of evidence of the Dauphin's death
in the book. That some child died is tolera-
bly, clear but we do not know that it was the
Dauphin We are the more willing to trust
our impressions on this point, from the fact
that when we read Beauohesne's book, we were
entirely unbiased, not having read word Of
the newspaper discussions of the day on the
subject and feeling no interest in the case, ex-
cept as matter of history. Rumor says that
Hanson's book upon this subject is conclusive
and that he disposes of Beauchesne's testimony
in mastery and entirely satisfactory man,
