Our Story mysteries of Paris. y

We have never been in the habit of
publishing long continued stories in the
Standard, for one among other reasons,
that our paper has not till now been
large enough to warrant it. But it is
now large enough we think to do so,
so that the general reader will have no
cause for complaint if he finds one full
page hereafter occupied with this, the
best and most exciting of any novel
that has been published for a century.
1t is not by any means 'the last new
novel, 1T is on the contrary quite an old
one. We read it twenty-three years
ago, when it was first published in this
country and elected the applause of the
great mass Of the novel reading public,
while it also received the censure of a
very few. While there was then quite
a disagreement as to its elevating ten
dency, there was a perfect agreement
among all classes that it was the most
intensely exciting and bewitching sto-
ry that was ever written. 1t was
then, as now, Sues great masterpiece.
There are few persons in the county
who have read it, and these will agree
with US in our remarks in relation to it.
There is but one disagreeable thing
about it, and that is the frequent occur
renee of French names and phrases,
but the most of these are Englished in
a parenthesis following them, which
obviates that difficulty. No one need
ask us how long the story is; it is
long enough. We would advise people
not to read any of it till they hare had
about a years supply Of papers on
hand, when they can begin and read
and get through about the time we get
done publishing it. The story is
rightly named, it is "mystery."-
Read the following from the London
Atheaeum which ought to be good au-
thority in such matters -

it does all precedent, is literary

curiosity. Sue, for many years a sue
cessful novelist, by the production OF
this great masterpiece has, comet-llke,
shot past Hugo, De Vigny, George
Sand, Jules Janin, and a number OF
other equally good names; for while
they have their hundreds, he has his
thousands of readers. We are Of
opinion that this book has never had
its Counterpart, nor will it ever see Its
equal. Its appearance is chronlcled
as an historical epoch, and the date OF
its issue is registered in Gazettes, Al
MANAGES, &c, side by side with the rec
Ords of battles, treaties, and other great
events which decide the fate of nations.
There never was such an excitement
in regard to the progress Of a book,
published in numbers; and its CON
clusion is equally wished for and
equally dreaded, as being the termina-
ton of a pleasure which has so gained
upon the reader as to become an abso-
lutte necessity.
This novel is an exhibition of Pow
er which is employed on the side OF
Benevolence. The passion Of the
Grand Duke of Gerolstein is to bring
Mischief to light-to succor Misery
and to prevent Evil. He stalks through
all the moral filth of Paris, redressine
Crime by Crime; detecting Chicanery
by Artifice here, putting out the eyes
of one sinner to give him time for re
pentance-there, exciting the violent
passions Of another without gratifying
them, that they may torment their pos
SCISSOR.
In sooth we know not how to speaf
Of this work-unique as it is in pur
pose, plot, and character. Were there
: ever before such artistic creations a
= the 'Maihe d'Ecole,' the 'Ogresse, til,
t Chouriner,' the lovely 'FIeur d
Marie, 'Rigolette, and a host Of Others
each one suggestive of some peculia
excellence If there were, it has neve
been our happy lot to find them.
"As whole, we regard The Ny,
, teries of Paris as the most excitin
and deeply interesting work that ha
been published within the last century
and, considered as a specimen Of pure
Z ly constructive genius. we think it pc.
: sesses more of the true elements {
/ fiction than would suffice to exc OF
Y the whole stock in trade Of any hal
n dozen modern NoveIists.

ALL FULL.-The hasburgh jail is
overlooking. There are now ten pris-
oners confined there Cor various of
fences-more than at any other time
within our remembrance. A young
woman is there for passing seven three
cent pieces upon a peddler for $500
gold ones !! If we were such ninny as
not to know the difference between
three cents and five dollars, we would
not say word about it.

LIQUOR AND CRME.-Every days
police and criminal reports indicate
anew the great and terrible agency
Of liquor in the production Of crime.
In the latest of our local horrors
the murder of Senior Otero in Brook
lyn-the perpetrators Of the crime,
(if we may infer that those under
arrest as the cul prits are really such, J
first piled their victim and then filled
themselves wit h hot and strong
liquor, as a necessary preliminary
to the commission of the atrocity.
And nine out Of ten Of the murders
that disgraces our community are
committed under the same Internal
said of the lesser grades of crimi-
nality. In cases Of violent assault,
the assailants are nearly always ex-
cited by liquor, and in a large pro-
portion OF the personal outrages on
the streets and elsewhere, the vic
tim or the perpetrator is a victim of
this unnatural stimulus. 1t is one
of the chief causes of domestic quar-
rels and difficulties-one of the fun
damental agencies of degradation
and vice. In fact, it would seem
from our experience, that but for
liquor and its influences, the grosser
forms of crime would, in great meas
ure, cease to prevail.
The American people, of all classes
are altogether too much given to the
use ofstrong iquors-whiskey, bran
dy, gin, &C.; and perhaps they are
also getting to use too extensively
heavy beers and ales. Nothing is
more conclusively demonstrated than
that the excessive use of strong
alcoholic drinks is prejudicial to the
health as well as the morals-that
it is ruinous to the physical organ
ism of the nation as well as to its
intellectual organism. They are
used mainly as producers of excite
ment, and that too chiefly by those
who of all things ought to avoid this
sort of excitement. And when we
have evidence every day that they
are the main source of crime, people
ought to take warning as to how
they touch them and to whom they
offer them.-N. Y. Times.

BURGLARY IN MoRRIsvILLE.-Th
store of D. A. Gilbert, at Morrisville.
was burglariously entered one evening
of last week. The entrance was
made by boring out a panel of the
back door, that requiring so holes.
An unsuccessful attempt was made to
blow open the safe, as gunpowder was
discovered near it in the morning. A
dark lantern was also left behind. The
thief made off with $50 in scrip and
a pair of socks. No other property was
missed, and no trace of him has as vet
been found.

BEWARE OF MAINE MONEY-The

BEWARE OF MAINE MoNEY.-The
Legislature of Maine has passed law
by which the State Banks are not
obliged to redeem their old bills if not
presented within two years from the
time the bank became merged III
National Bank. Three of these old
State Banks were thus enabled, on the
31st dav of Dec. last to take advantage
of that law. They are the State OF
Maine at Bangor, the Maine Bank at
Brunswick, and the State Bank at Au-
gusta. Before the 25th Of next April,
the Freeman's Bank at Augusta, the
Lewiston Falls Bank, the Maine Bank
at Damarisc0tta, the OrOno Bank and
the Skowhegan Bank will have been in
operation as National Banks for two
years, and holders Of their money had
better send their bills into some bank
for collection at once. Indeed the act
referred to has such a look Of "Sharp
practice" on the part Of the banks or
the Legislature, that we advise our
readers to Immediately send all the
Maine State bank bills into some bank
ing-house for collection, and hereafter
to refuse taking a dollar Of that money.
In some parts ofNew Hampshire and
/ Vermont large amounts Of Maine
money has recently been discussed by
purchasers of pr0duce-and in some
instances bills on banks whose day O
redemption draweth near have beer
freely circulated. Beware Of all sucl
attempts at fraud A few ofthe Maine
banks have already passed the day
of redemption"

HE w DOL lRADE-A writer III the
Economist in speaking Of the probable
demand for the wool now in the hands
OF the wool growers, during the COM
INC season, says:
The large amount of rain that has
fallen during the week has settled the
question with reference to the running
Of the mills. There is no doubt that all
the factories are now in full operation.
and re-consuming now daily an enor
nous amount of wool, which is RAPIDLY
reducing the stock in the hands of
manufacturers, which every one be-
heves has never been extremely large
this year; and the holders of wool
generally are ofthe opinion that all the
wool will be required before another
clip, though there may at no time be
very great rush into the market by
manufacturers, they knowing that if
they should commence and buy freely.
prices would as rapidly advance; and
as 1t Is the business of every one to
buy as cheaply as possible, it is their
policy to enter the market as cautious
ly as possible, and buy as sparingly as
their necessities will admit
The Commercial Bulletin, in esti-
mating the amount of wool now in the
country, concludes chat the whole
supply in the country is confessedly
inadequate to the requirements of
home manufacture. 1t will all. and
more than all, he wanted for consumn-
ton during the next few months. as
imports to any extent are out of the
question at present prices"
These statements are from reliable
sources, and would reasonably lead
men who are still holding on to their
wool, to infer that there must be a de-
mand Tor 1t before the next clip can
be taken off, and at fair prices.

at Grotou, Conn shortly after the
steamer arrived from New York. The
fire originated in the depot No lives
were lost. The loss is estimated at
100000.
SECOND DISPATCH.
The fire broke out in the railroad
depot at | o'clock this morning. 1t de-
stroyed the building, thirty long cars,
empty, and six loaded cars. The flames
spread rapidly to the steamer Com
monwealth, which had just arrived
from New York, and which was heavily
loaded with freight, and so grounded
at the wharf that she could not be
moved. She was burnt to the waters
edge. Nothing was saved, the fire
spreading so rapidly that the men bare
ly escaped with their lives. The fire
broke out in sleeping room OF the
depot, where there had been no fire
used. The cause Of the conhagration
is unknown. The total loss will not
fall far short of million dollars, the
boat being worth about half a million.
In addition to the above we learn
that all the books and papers Of the
Stonnington Railroad Company, which
were in the building at the time, were
lost and the cars burned were mostly
the property Of this company. Some
of the hands on board the boat barely
escaped with their lNes-not even
saving their clothing. The Common
wealth was. one Of the finest boats on
the Sound. Her length was $50 feet,
breadth ofbeam, II ID feet, breadth

She had 124 family and private rooms
besides 215 berths. She was to have
been hauled off in few weeks TO put

splendid order. She was built original
" at cost ofabOut $4,000, but hen
