PRESENTATION OF A SILVER TRUM-

PRESENTATION OF A SILVER TRUM-
PET.-The members Of Company ID,
Richmond Fire Department, presented
silver trumpet to their much-esteemed
commander, Capt. j. j. King, last even
ing, according to announcement in the
STATE JOURNAL yesterday afternoon.
We were witness of the pleasant affair,
which took place at the engine-house, cor
ner of Brook avenue and Marshall street.
George Bargamin, ESQ.,, member Of the fire
committee Of the City Council, presented
the beautiful gift on behalf of the members
of company d. He performed the duty in
brief but very appropriate language, refer
ring with pride to the zeal and efficiency OF
the company and to the noble qualities as a
gentleman and fireman of its commander.
Captain King took the handsome present
into his hands, and made most eloquent
and feeling response to Mr.. Bargamin and
to the expressions of confidence
and esteem which the present conveyed
from the men under his command. Though
the gallant captain subsequently acknow-
lodged that all forms of expression which
he had mentally prepared for the occasion
had utterly vanished from his mind when
the time came for their use, he uttered such
happy and appropriate sentiments as spring
only from the heart of a true gentleman.
The trumpet is highly finished instru
ment, and was gotten up by Messrs. Now
Ian & Co., of this city. 1t bears the fol-
lowing inscription: presented to Captain
j. J. King by Company d, of the Rich
mond Fire Department, as token of their
friendship and esteem, April 80, 1872"
AT the conclusion of the presentation cere-
monies, Company ID and invited guests
repaired to another room, where hearty
collation. was served in fine style, to which
ample Justice was done. Several hours
were spent around the festive board, the
company indulging, meanwhile, in i'm.
promptu toasts, speeches, and lively social
converse. The representative of the STATE
JOURNAL returns his cordial thanks to
Company D for the courtesies extended to
him.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

BEVERLY, OR THE WHITE MAsK-a
novel by Mansfield Tracy Walworth.
author of "Warwick," &c. G. w. Carle-
ton & Co., publishers, New York.-The
secret of the success of Walworth's novels
lies in his strong imagination and his
analytical powers, which enable him to
form intricate plots which few novel readers
can fathom. Berverly is superior in inge-
nuity to any work which has yet come
from his pen. Who murdered the incom-
ing proprietor Of the old Delaney manor, is
a question which puzzles both the jury and
the public. The reader is given facts which
are Withheld from both judge and jury;
but with even this additional aid no reader
has yet been found who can place his finger
upon the real criminal, until he is startled
by the authors denoumcnt. An episode in
this powerful novel enables the author to
exhibit his descriptive powers in the realm
of natural scenery. His pictures of the
forests of Brazil have not been surpassed.
The character of MacGregor is vigorously
carved, as if from rock. Marie Delaney is
womaply but strong, and old Jourdan De-
lancy is a master, by delineation, of the
"old stock" of New York State. For sale
by J. T. Ellyson, successor to Ellyson q
Taylor, 1112 Main street.
GusrAvH ApoLr--an historical novel, by a.
TspRLIus, translated from the Swedish by
Selma Borg and Marie A. Brown. G.. w.
Carleton Co, Publishers, New York,
We have received from the publishers,
through j. T. Ellyson, successor to Ely
son Il Taylor, 1l12 Main street, the de-
lightful work of the Swedish author, whose
powerful novels have placed him in the front
rank of romance writers in the North of
Europe. However Swedish, remarks an
able American critic, tho author of this
powerful novel may be in his style, in his
thoughts, views and writings, he is unmis-
takably Finnish. He has from his birth
belonged to Finland alone, for he was
born after his fatherland was severed from
Sweden, and he now ranks highest among
romance writers of his day. The under
tone of Topelius' work is melancholy and
mild, but at the same time faithful, firm
and strong. The strings of his harp are not
many, but their ring is pure. One of
them has depth which almost seems
to spring from eternity itself. He is pecu-
liarly adapted to works of an historical
character, as he possesses in high degree
the art of describing brave and self-sacri-
ficing deeds in such manner that he un-
avoidably stimulates to imitation in like
circumstances, bravely exclaiming:
"Give me world to struggle for and then
Give me another world to struggle against"
Topelius' great power shows itself to ad-
vantage and most glowing light in the
series of novels entitled "The Surgeons
Stories," Of which this work, Gustarc
Adolf, is the foremost volume, and we be-
lieve that no reader who takes it up can
easily tear himself from it..

ENGLAND.

London, May IA letter from Emilio
Costellar explains the troubles III Spain
and the cause of the election outrages. He
says the opponents of the ministerialists
were outraged by arrests and imprison-
ments, and the polls surrounded by min
isterialists, to prevent their opponents
reaching them. The forces of the army
and navy went to the polls in regiments,
in line of battle, and votes were given them
by their officers.
The latest advices from Spain represent
the insurrection as rapidly spreading. 1t
is reported that disaflection has appeared
among the government troops.
