MISS VAN EORILAND. \ Novel. by the aihor or
MY Daughter Einor" Ncw-lork; Harper q
Brothers.
We MY not be good judges Of novels which deal
with American society Us of novels which deal wish

expressions, suppose ourselves familiar with some

this latter superstition they faithfully reflected
in Miss Van kortland," which is entitled TO high
praise as an American novel. No one novel could
contain even representative sketches of American
character the East differing widely from the West,
and the South widely from both but these differ
ences, which exist mainly in the rural districts, lose
so many of their angles in cities and smOOthed
over and smoOthed down by the OleagEOus ameni-
ties therein rs to resolve themselves into ahctero-
gcneOus whole. This whole which is what we call
Society, is the chief element in Miss Van Kort-
land" 1t is fashionable, hgh-bred book the best
characters being such live move, and have their
being in great cties--in this instance in New
York but which individual enough and
universal enough to be citizens of the world
at large. Without ceasiug to be an American
lady, Miss Van K0rtland would be at home in
the Tuileries or az Windsor Castle; while Noel
SeatOn would hob-and-nob with G duke as his
equal We have Bever seen the best features Of
American fashionable life well depicted as here ;
nor can recall so ifelike portrait of an Amer-
can lady as Miss Van Kortland She is a superb,
wOmanly creature, of whose love any man might be
proud The minor characters which have less
merit, are more familiar 10 us in fiction. The
comic ones, though laugiable in their way, are as

before him. If lac will only write Of what be knows

rHE Co1oRED SENATOR.
FIRST SPEECH OF REvELs. THE NEW sENA
AToR FROM MISSISSIPPI.
A vindication OF the Black Race.

The colored United Stales senator from Mis-
sissippi, Revels, made his first speech on Wed
nesday last The galleries were packed with
spectators, anxious to be present upon the oc-
casion of the delivery of the first speech ever
uttered in the Senate Of the United States by
a person of African descent.
At one o'clock Morton took the floor, but
rave way to ReveIs. Fenton, who sat few
seats nearer the centre OF the chamber, mo-
toned to Reyels, and the latter walked over
to and took position at the desk OF the former.
Thereupon there was buzz, general stretcn-
ing Of necks and rising in seats TO OBTAIN
GOOD view of the dusky senator. Revels
proceeded to deliver his speech from man.

citation. subdued gesticulation and easy
address, except at the beginning: when
he appeared to be slightly embarrassed. He
was listened to in marked silence and close at
tention throughout, each particular senator OF
either party turning directly face towards the
colored peer, with one or two exceptions, tnus
remaining to the end Of the speech, the read
inr of which took up about half an hour.
Meantime Sumner twirleo his eyeglasses, ran
his fingers through his locks carefully ADJUST
ing each particular hair whilst he smiled be-
nignantly upon his colored brother. That pro-
found statesman, Drake, gazed fraternaliy upon
the African senator; 1rumbulrs countenance
was non-committal, and the erudite Upton
looked on patroaizingly. The Kentucky sena-

his repugnauce to the negro overcaue him
directly, and he cleared ont. The other Demo-

THE LAST NEW YORK SENSATION
Successful Alteration of ccrtlfed Check,

The New York papers give the particulars OF
the latest .'fraud upon Wall street," in which O
man going by the name Of Mitchell, and pur-
porting to be grain dealer from Baltimore, Is
said to figure. The "fraudn involves about
10000, obtained upon certified checks altered
from small amounts to large sums. Other
frauds of this kind seem to have been perpe-
trated simultaneously with the Mitchell affair
to the tune of about 100000, and there is con-
sequently considerable stir In business cir
cles in New York. The uneaslness is 80 great
on this account that many Of the brokers are
represented to be sending to their respective
banks memorandum of every check they
draw, so as to prevent the certilcation Of any
altered checks. In regard to the Mitchell
"lraud" the New York Express says:
It appears that man by the name of Mitch
ell. doing business in Baltimore as grain
shipper, recently left that city and came to
New York. In Baltimore nothing was appa-
rently known against the reputation and in
territy of Mitchell, and he brought with him to
this city recommendation from the Balti-
more correspondent of Charles Unger & Co.
He stated to Mr.. Unger that he wanted to buy
bonds, and the firm bought for him about
10000 of $40 bonds. He gave In payment for
these bonds certified check on the Ninth Ma
the Phoenix Bank. 1t now turns out that he
has no account at the Ninth National Bank,
and the certihcation is forgery exceedingly
we'll executed, both In regard to the stamp
and the name of the teller. Much sympathy
was expressed for Messrs. Unger & Co. No
trace of the torger has yet been discovered.
In connection with this ''ittle game" OF al
tered checks after certlflcation,a a New York
paper describes the modus operdnd, and pre-
scribes the remedy as follows:
One check for thirty dollars was altered to
six thousand, and another for fifty dollars to
fifteen thousand. In some instances, the for
gers were entirely successful. Now, this Is O
very serious matter, and one that will cause
alarm among the business community. There
Is only one way to provide against 1t, and
that Is this: Let every business man have
his checks printed In different colors. For
instance, tor sums over one hundred dollars,
and under one thousand, the check might'be
printed with blue ink; over one thousand,
and under two thousand, green; over two
thousand, and under three, pink, and 40 on.
BY this means it would be impossible for o
forgpr to lnisrepresent the original amount Of
the check, except to an ninc0nslderable extent
If this plan is adopted, q bank teller could as
certain at once whether the figures had been
increased in amount TO sum which the color
of the check was not intended to cover. 1t is
the only sure means of protection against
fraud, for it will always Ge easy for an expert
enccd sharper to change figures, no matter
how complicated they may be in construction
Rumor speaks OF more forgeries upon New
York brokers, the particulars of which have
not transplred, the victims pccketing their loss
in silence.

EUROPE.
House OF fCommons-The Fenian Prison
ers-Murders and Agrarinn Troubles
in Ireland.

IN 1kelhnu.
LONDON, March II.
In the House of Commons, Mr. Gladstone,
replying to Mr.. Moore, said the Fenian prison
ers were well treated, but the government
courted inquiry on the subject. Two Of the
prisoners had certainly gone mad, and had,
therefore, been realeased. One Of these,
Rourke, concerned in the Clerkenwell affair,
was slowly recovering ut an asylum. Amnesty
to the Fenian prisoners, he said, was untimely
in the presence Of continued violence.
[Cheers.] The tranquility of Ireland was an
essential preliminary. When loyal men were
able to pursue livelihood in peace and con-
fidence, then amnesty will be proper.
Right Honorable Chichester Fortescuc, Chief
Secretary for Ireland, gave notice ola bill tor
the protection of life and property in Ireland.
In his remarks he recapitulated the outrages in
that island since 1866. Nine murders have
been committed and two murderers only have
been brought to trial. The agrarian offences
since that time aggregated about 1900, mainly
threatening letters and unlawful oaths. The
government needed more power TO repress
lawlessness and terrorism in Ireland, which
were mainly due to Fenianism. The bill limits
the possession Of arms to holders OF game
licenses; revolyers require special license;
imprisonment at hard labor for two years to
be the penalty for unlawfully having posses
sion of arms In proclaimed districts, the
supposed sending Of threatening letters to be
subjected 10 Imprisonment; inns 20 be closed

followed, in which Messrs. Heygatc. Connolly
and Patten participated.
