Something New for Novel Readers. /.

1t is a remarkable fact that we have SO few
translations of good German novels. Ger
many is the land of legends, romantic tradi-
tions, and picturesque contrasts, beyond any
other country of Europe, and yet our people
are quite as ignorant of it as of Russia or
Chinese Tartary. With the exception Of
Goethe, Schiller and few theological and
metaphysical writers, but little is known in
this country of German authors. A few Ger
man novels have appeared from time to time,
indiferently translated; but net until the re-.
publication here of the carefully prepared
American versions of Miss Muhlbach's novels

The rates of wages paid in Illinois rer day
for ten hours work arc as follows; Plaste-ers,
81 50; bricklayers S.; machinists 50; paint
ers, 50; planning mill hands, $50 per week.
A majority of the men are willing to work
eight hours per day as follows: Plasterers,
81; bricklayers, 81 50, and under some cir
cumstances, 81; stone-cutters, 81 80, and
carpenters, 90 f5.
1t has transpired in the impeachment in
vestigation, that in the examination of Ad-
ans Express Agents regarding the transmits
sion of pardons to the South, testimony was
elected, showing that they were sent marked
three hundred dollars,C. o. D., but the Presi-
dent was not directly implicated. There is
no doubt that pardons were sent in this man
ner, but it does not necessarily reflect on Mr.
johnson. The fact cannot be disproved.
An exciting debate took place in the Brit
ish House of Commons on the evening of
the Sd inst. Mr. Bright asked leave to pre-
sent petition, which described Ireland as be-
ing in state of hopeless oppression, thus
leading men in their desperation to resort to
arms and implored Parliament to interfere
to check the brutality of the soldiery, and
to check the savage treatment of prisoners,
Mr.. Bright was repeatedly called to order,
but the speaker held that he was not re-
sponsible for the language of the petition.
One member hoped that such an infamous
document should not be allowed even to be
laid on the table. Another member sugges-
ted that the paragraph about the brutality of
the military was intended to influence the
Government Of the United States to declare
the Fenians belligerents. This being done,
the sea would swarm with Feniau priYateers.
Mr.. Bright bore himself throughout with
great clamness aud dignity, defending the
right Of petition. while eondemning the Sc
cret associations and violence of the Fenians.
The petition was finally laid on the table.

The much talked-Of Diary of the assassin
Booth has been published. From a brief
synopsis of it furnished by telegraph we give
the following paragraph: He says under
dates of April 18th and 18th; Until to-day
nothing was ever thought of sacrificing to
our country's wrongs. For six months we
had not worked TO capture, but our cause
being almost lost, something decisive and
great must be done. But its failure was ow-
ing TO others, who did not strike for their
country with heart. ] struck boldly, and
not as the papers say, L walked with firm
step through Thousand of his friends, and
was stopped, but l pushed on. A Colonel
was at his side. l shouted "Sic Semper'

night with the bone of my leg tearing the
flesh at every jump. / can nsyer repent it,
though We hated to kill. Our country owed
all her troubles to him, and God simply
made me the instrument of hispunishment.

Jefferson Davis, after his release on bail
left Richmond and proceeded to New York
on his way to Canada. He properly shows
a sense of the fitness of things in avoiding
public notice and declaring his purpose to
seek retirement. 1t viii be very well for
him to remain considerable time in Cana
da. He could hardly reside in the South
without giving occasion to demonstrations
offensive to loyal men. He should feel that
he does not owe his release to any tolerance
of treason, or 10 any feeling that he does not
deserve to die traitors death but partly
to the political cowardice of the President,
and partly to the conviction that the country
has been disgraced by his long confinement
without trial. He is not Pardoned death
still hangs over him, as the just punishment
for his great crime, and lift is never inflicted,
he cannot escape the perpetual condemna-
tion of all loyal and patriotic men. If he
understands the case as it really stands in
the conscience of his countrymen, he will
choose TO pass the remainder of his days, if
the law does not claim its due, in the pro-
foundest retirement, and not even by his
presence keep alive in the South the embers
of that fire which must be wholly quenched
before that section can obtain true peace and
prosperity. Let him "leaVe his country for
his cOuntry's good"

DARING RoBBERY.-One of the most daring
rob5eries that has ever fallen under our notice,
was perpetrated on the premises of middle
aged, well-to-do farmer named Haller, two
miles north of Newark, on Wednesday
evening last. Mr.. Haller had been to town
during the day and sold load of corn, the
money for which was still on his person.
Just as the family had seated themselves at
the supper table, the room was entered by
three men, armed and in disguise, one of
whom knocked Mr.. Haller from his chair
with club, and proceeded to rob him, while
the other two presented loaded revolvers at
the heads of his two sons, threatening to kill
any member of the family who should at
tempt to leave his or her seat, or give an
alarm. Mr.. Hspockets were speedily rifled
of their contents, about $3.50, when the rob
bers fed. The whole transaction occurred
in broad daylight, at farm house situated
on largely travelled public road, and within
few yards cf the track of the s. M. d. N.
Railroad. AS yet no clue to the perpetrators
has been obtained.-Sand,tsky Register.

Review of The Week.

The latest news from Europe by the cable
contains report that plot has been dis
covered in Hanover, Germany, to assassinate
King William, in which Bismarck and several
notables are said TO be involved, The report
lacks confirmation, decidedly. - From
Mexico the news shows that Macmillan is
on his last legs-(for, probably, .5the last
time.) The City of Mexico on the I'd of
May was said to be surrounded by 10000
Liberals, and the bombardment commenced
in earnest. In case of capture, no officers
were to receive quarter from The Liberals,
and orders were issued that Macmillan
should be shot if captured.
