The entire scene on Grifith's return, which
follows the last paragraph quoted, is identical
in Reade's masterpiece" and "The French
man." The resemblance of the trials is also
striking, while the terminations, however,
differ, inasmuch as both the previous rendi-
tions surpass Griffith in the probability or
at least the symmetry of their conclusions. La
"Ihe Frenchman" the husband lives in seclu-
sion, the first wife dies, the second marres
again and has many children; in Brother
Grifhth's Story" the first wife lives in seclu-
sion, the husband living abroad with the
second; in Griffith Gauntn the husband lives
again with the first wife, the second marrles
again, and has nine children.
The article in the Reader thus sums up the

CTetan AhaiIs.

THE interest OF the public in the Canadian in
sunection will be increased by the news from
Athens on the 18th instant, that the Cretans
have achieved another victory in battle over
the Turks, and that the Cretan Assembly has
invited the powers of Europe to send agents
to Gambia to report concerning the real con-
dition OF that country.
In this country the movement in aid Of the
CIetans increases, and Dr.. Howe, of Boston,
will soon have raised far more than the
twenty thousand dollars which he originally
proposed as the sum which he was willing to
carry personally to the struggling patriots of
that distant land.

MIR. CHARLES READE's masterpiece"
"Grifith Gaunt, !" having been subjected to con-
siderable adverse criticism on both sides OF
the water, was in fair way to be pecuniary
failure, when the author conceived the
unique plan of advertising his work by calling
every one who did not admire the production
a "beast." AS the number of the beasts"
was decidedly large, some Of them have de-
voted their time to burrowing for the sources
from which the masterpiece" was derived,
and the London Reader has uncovered some
facts which cannot fail to be of interest. We
do not venture to accuse Mr.. Reade OF pla-
giarism, lest we be called "prurient prude"
or "grovelllng swine" but then facts are
facts. and in the present case the similarity of
,be thoughts of gleat men is striking. In 1855
story appeared in Household Words called
The Frenchman with Two Wives" and in

GOLD BILL PASSED THE House. -
The House of Representatives Yesterday
passed a bill regulating the sale
of gold from the Treasury of the
United States. 1t provides that whenever
any coin is to be sold at least six days notice
of the same by advertisement shall be given,
and sealed proposals invited. None but the
highest bid shall be accepted, and at the dis
cretion OF. the Secretary of the Treasury all
bids may be rejected.
This bill or something similar thereto, will
doubtless become law.

1860 Willde Collins wrote a sketch entitled
"Brotber Griffith" which was published at
that time as part of the "Queen of Hearts"
In 1886 Mr.. Reade writes bis Griffith Gaunt"
The plots of all three of these works are lden-
tical, in many places the language is the same,
while the names are not even changed in
several of the characters. The following
rough drafts show some of the points Of re-
semblance -

 It was Madame; her white face blanched to death-ike hue; her eyes set. The bur den she carried was Fanchette

But when the little innocent child unwittingly enter ed through the door which she had dared to open for the decrepit and miserable old woman, reason, long clouded with subtle and metaphysical arguments, went out ill the gust.
