IT was little singular that the German
noveli-t, Clara Mundt, better known by her
pseudonym, L. Muehlbach. was first intro
duoed to American readers within the
bounds of the Southern Confederacy. Her
Joseph ii. was translated by Mobile lady
during the var Of the rebellion. IA the
South was cut of from the Northern book
market, the work had a very extensive sale
and great popularity. 1t lie perhape the
most interesting of her many historical ro-
msnces; not from the akill Of the writer, but
rather in spite of it. She had abundant and
excellent materials from which to compose
her narrative, but she did not use them 10
the best advantage. Many of the chapters
were little more than rough abstracts, or
rather diIntions of Wraxa!Ps memoirs of the
Court of Vienna, 17777-79, and the reminis-
cences Of Caroline Pichler, one Of the at
tendants of the Empress Maria Theresa.
Mrs. Mundt dealt in the other historical
topics very much a. with the Austrian i'm
perial family, and was not always ~ fortu-
nate in her selection Of entertaining subjects.
Still, she gave many persons whoee reading
il confined to novels many glimpses of fact,
and thus taught little knowledge of the past
to those Who otherwise never would have be-
come acquainted With any Of its startling
events.

kona.sie B.lDs.n Tragedy.

In these balloon-days, am reminded of
an extraordinary ascension made during the
war in Northern Ohio. The aeronaut had
gone up frequently; was accounted coura-
geous and sagacious in his business and 20
amiable and sterling qualities as to render
him highly esteemed. He seems to have
been blessed, or cursed, with a very pretty
wife, to whom he Was devOtedly attached.
Az frequently happens, she did not love him
in return,-at least not enough to insure her
loyalty. She permitted her ardent affections
to wander, ard those who knew informed
him OF their well grounded suspicious. Too
generous to believe, too chivalrous TO doubt,
consort. until at last the dreadful conviction
was forced upon him. Even then he gave
no intimation that he had discovered her
guilty secret, though some Of his friends
were confident ne had. He advertised an
other balloon voy,ge, and, at the time
named, all Wa prepared His wife Was in
the Enclosure. and, jus: before he stepped in
to the car, n wen; - her side, kissed her
tenderly, sayin. that he hoped Heaven
would make her happy; that he loved her
30 much that he would not for a moment
stand between her and her peace. His
words had such significance that the blood
started to her flee and the tears to her eyes.
Ere she could collect herself he was in the
basket. the ropes were cut, and he was shoot
ing through the air.
Days, weeks, month";, passed, and the
popular aerOnaut was not heard from; nor

A useful hint to many young men may be
derived from this little story which the
Springfield (MaAL) Union prints: "Not

ness in this State, At . large increase over his
present salary, with . prospect Of soon get
ting place in the firm. His recommenda-
tons we're 6rst-clas, and the officers Of the
institution were decidedly pleased With his
appearance. They. however, made him no
proposals. nor did they state their favorable
impressions. A gentleman Of this city vas
requested to a-certain where the young man
spent his evenings and what clafs Of young
men were his associates. 1t was found that
he spent several nights Of the week in bill

RESUN PTaON,

The clamor of the hard money theorists
has been very efsctively answered BY S<na-
tor Thurman, of Ohio. In a recent speech
be showed that the effect of an immediate re-
sumption of specie payments wouid be to
make every man who owes five dollars pay
six-to add fifteen per cent to the profits of
creditors, and rob the debtor class to that e1-
tent. That this would be the inevitable
consequence is so palpi'able, that those who
demand resumption may be justly charged
with deliberate intention to produce pre-
cisely that result. 1t is certain, says the
Chicago Pot, that strenuous efforts will be
made at the approaching session of Congress
to force = resumption upon the country; and
constituencies should take measures at once
to impress upon their representatives the
fact that the adoption of any policy looking
to an immediate or speedy change in the
currency will be regarded as an unpardona-
bic act Of hostility to the interests of the
people. We commend this matter to the
consideration of all assemblages of citizens
that may occur before the meeting of Con-

The southern Law Review.

We have received the April number OF
this valuable quarterly. To say that it is
fully up to, perhaps superior to any OF its
predecessors, is q compliment that it fully
deserves. The leading article is contiEua-
ton of the very interesting and instructive
contrast or comparison of "English and
French Law" by Judge W. F. Cooper OF
this city. "The Rebellion" by r. McPhsil
Smith of Nashville is lengthy article look
ing into the terms upon which the govern
ment was founded and considering the
legal or Constitutional position which the
Southern States occupied toward the
general government during the war. Mr..
Smith very ably presents what he terms the
"National" side of the question. 1t is not
permitted us now, even if we had the legal
ability, to review Mr.. Smiths article. II IS
sufficient for us to say that while We recog'
nize his learning, I've do not admit the cor
rectness of his premises, nor the soundness
of his logic. We have also instructive ar
ticles 90 "Rules of Evidence IS affected by
Religious belief" "Presentment for Pay
ment," digest of English law
reports, selected digest Of State
reports, digest of unreported Tennessee de-
cisious, and digest of recent decision in
bankruptcy. The mechanical work of the
number by Messrs. Roberts q Purvis is
excellent. The work should be literally
patronized by Southern lawyers, and In II
should continue to be found the productions
of our ablest intellects. Mr.. +. l.. Reid,
the editor, deserves commentator for his
effort to cultivate legal literature IN the
South.
