Lord Brougham, we believe, who SAID
that there Was more genuine history to
be found In the Wayerly Novels than
any other professed history thai had
been written. In his multitude of works
he has illustrated the days OF the CRU
sades, of chivalry, and OF the English
civil wars in SO weird and interesting a
manner as to leave an enduring impress
upon all who have perused them. AS a
mere story-teiier he was unexceIled.
His plots are absolutely inscrutable,a and
never develop until the close OF his
work; and yet they are founded upon
the simplest materials. His, powers Of
description are absolutely marvellous.
We don't think the English language
affords anything more beautiful than the
account OF the entrance of Queen Eliza.

the novel Of that name, and yet IN all his
works we fnd many other passages that

.'Jennie Deans," the daughter of the
Scotch peasant in the "Heart of Mid
Lothian? He not only wrote the best
prose, but some of the best poetry of his
age, and that age was the age OF Byron,
Wordsworth, Southey, Rogers, Moore
and Coolidge. Through ali his works
we see the mixed character of the histo-
rian, the poet, the lawyer, and the an
tiquarian, and the dreams of fancy and
the shrewd and sagacious reflections Of
the man OF the world.
In different vein the writer gives US
some very agreeable "New Year Mhec-

MORE TROUBLE AMONG OYSTER RAKERs.
The Acadians at Cheniere Camanada have
again broken loose, venting their spleen on
the Austrian oyster rakers who have TEN.
porarily settled on q barren island above
Fort Livingston, Barataria bay. The Aca-
dams have trunped up charge and caused
six of the Austrians to be arrested and i'm
prisoned on Grand Isle. Our informant
does not know what the accusation is, but
he is certain that the strangers have vio-
lated no laws. 1t is probable that the JUS
tice of the peace on the Cheneire issued
warrants on oath of residents who dislike
to see anybody employed in legitimate
business.
Six of the Austrians were raking oysters
in deep water and transferring them to
shallow banks for next winter when they
were arrested. Two men who were not
fishing at the time were not molested, SO il
appears that the affidavit, if there was one,
anticipated finding the Austrians raking
oysters. Judge Hyman and District Attor-
ney Brice will be consulted to-day by
friends of the strangers, when some action
will be taken. This looks as if the Acadians
have reformed little by experience, as on
this occasion they did not use the shotgun
argument.
