The Mystery of Edwivh l Drood Completed. d '1I ti 1 [From the Now York Evening Post.] The "knowing ones"among novel- n readers caught a clew to this "mys- a tery" on the publication of the first mnunber, edited by Dickens himself, V' in the illustrated title-page of the Scove. "The prominent figure in the it central medallion, brought itut hold reliitf hv the rays of the dark l of ltnt'rn, itinst bh," sinid the experts, r.i"Edwiu I)n Doodl." Ad they thusn on settled the question al( solved the ni mystery at the outset: Edwin Drood, al as in lpoetical justice hound, is re- ti I- stored to hi, hcond lover, and all ci ends happily. ti1 r Dickens' programme, as he gave a it out, included twelve monthly n parts, of which he lived to complete to six. Somebody in England, whose in e name has not yet been annonunced, C undertook the hazardous task of ps g writing the remaining six, and that th it task is now ended, the series having re e been publised in Frank Le~ie' s 1I s lustrated Newspaper, the last number sh c of which contains the last chapter ha of the novel. th It is claimed by the American en publisher that the writer of the r continuation of the story had some , positive information, gathered in part from Dickens himself and in e part from his surviving friends, asfr to Dickens' own proposed conduct d of the plot; and it may be that in An fact the story is told substantially d as Dickens intended to tell it- -that of is to say, in respect to outline and p general construction. No man would <is presume to imply that he could eve give to a picture Ibegan by Dickens pl the finish, the touch, the coloring, hol and the detail of Dickins' own hand. of The work is now ended, however; hol and, for what it professes to be, it t is admirably done. Indeed, oneCl can easily suppose that the majority t i of novel-readers, not being apprized of i of the fact the book was written by two persons, would accept the ( whole as Dickens' own, and never her suspect the joint anthorship, for, of] verily, the continuation is no bang- sat ling patchwork. It is done with a der very expert hand. Many of' Dick- Pai ens' peculiarities and not a few of Dir his felicitiee of expression are per- cou fectly imitated. Of course, the lori students of Dickens-that in, those one persons who carefully read and in- war dustriously re-read his novels--very will readily perceive the difference be- hou tween "the master and the man." com But if we cannot have the very best T we must be contented with the netd Ib beat; and thas it is but fair thd the novel-reading public should b conugtulatd ~ d for the eontinuwo "Edwal Ioodiv mit . TEe 101L OF ClINmIA LECTig. (From the Weekly (Kiss.) Leader.] twill Two years ago the State of Cali fornia went Democrati. This year 1go; it goes Bepulican. When these kept sudden changes take place men of mwe. thought look for the reason. Some will attribute it to the Chinese im migration and its influence on State pre- polity; others, again, aseoribe as the reasop, the restlessness of its popu as- lation-its migratory disposition and view in this fact the unsteadi else ness of its politics. There is an eg other view of this change which bears no relationship to the men tioned causes, and which we think ness will account for the whole matter. It is the split or indifference in the n Democratic party caused by the "New Departure." This new de partnre, as we have said elsewhere to in this issue, unbarred the doors of the Democratic party, and left those who actually endorsed the doctrine ned of the Constitution as amended as "an accomplished fact," free to go PA where they pleased. The Democra cy, having by that move on the ay, political chess-board, said in terms, "we embrace the leading tenets of to the Republican party," many took advantage of their freedom and pe; walked straight over to the latter; our while the old-fogy element who re's cling to the Democratic idea as put forth in its New York platform of 1868, "that the reconstruction acts, rou including the amendments, are un constitutional, revolutionary, null en and void," being out voted in the Convention which nominated Gov ernor Haight for re-election, became indiftYfrent and considered the or ganization of the party as practi cally disbanded. Thus the Repub ha lican candidate -Booth- received direct accession to his support from the liberal wing of the Democratic 1 party, and the "old style," having no heart in the movement, were in "- active and indifferent to success. The change in that State in two years is shown to be some 15,000 votes in favor of the Republican e party, the re-instatement of Repub licani.sm in all branches of the State k for the National Republican nolni- b noes in 1872. This result, unix is pected and glorious as it is, points A a moral, and that is, that the Demo- 0 eratic party lost its power all over 0 c- the nation when it abandoned its il cherished principles-bad though a they be-and for the sake of power a' V1 adopted the principles of its oppo nent. This whole "New Depar- 1 ture" scheme has unwittingly played fE into the hands of the opponents of b4 pro-slavery Democracy. Of course it such a result was not meant, but 01 t the step once taken could not be am g recalled, and the Republicans all i 7-over the country have not been in r slow to take advantage of it, as they had a perfect right to do. The same thing the young and liberal Demo- in n cracy of California did in this in- to e stance, is being done in other States hE e Impatient of the restraints of disci- hi n pline in their party at best, they g ' embraced the first oppuriunity to fe Sfree themselves from the party of a Sdead issues and exploded ideas. & And when the bagle sounded the lP departure from the old landmarks it Sof the party, it was rightly inter- it, I preted by this class as a blast of ei Sdissolution - disintergration-- and mi Severy man was at liberty to seek th political affiliation with the party P holding his own ideas, and capable in of affording him protection, and te holding out some protects for the we future.

CAN! 82M-1 "HInTIT P .li- [From the Hateod aomnt ] W "Smith, the colored cadet at ese West Point, who, since he left Hart of ford, has had a cheekered eyperi me ence, is msaid to be again in trouble. '- of a sort that will alienate much of ate the sympathy that has heretofore the clung to him. Charges have been pn- made against him of tyranny toward 1- the new colored cadet who entered i- the academy a few weeks ago since. 'n- The new appointee was placed un ich der the charge of Smith, to be ex e- ercised in the manual of arms, and nk was aloasigned quarters with him. er. The officers of the academy have he been compelled to reprimand Smith he several times for his harsh treat le- ment toward the new cadet." oT the Editor of the Courant: Since the above article appeared ne in your paper of the 25th ult., I have taken some pains to ascertain the truthfulness of it. I am now prepared to say, on what I deem he good authority, that it is a base fabrication. Similar reports, gotten of up evidently by cadets who are op o posed to the admission of colored ad cadets into the Military Academy at SWest Point, have been circulated extensively throughout the eountry, ut especially in South Carolina and of Tennessee, States that Cadets Smith n and Napier came from. No one re greta these false reports more than Cadet Napier, who it is alleged is the subject of this abuse. Since his admission into the Military e Academy in June lat he and Smith have been boeom Oonianions-not f one thing occurring to disturb their fraternal relations. It is true Cadet Smith drills Ca m det Napier, but instead of doing it o in a tyrannical manner, he (Smith) has been reported several times by w senior cadets for not giving his or ders in a more commanding tone and manner. This is all the repri- T mand that Smith has received from the officers. The source of these false reports tb is apparent and well understood tl by those who have been present at , the courts-martial of Cadet Smith. At the last one he conducted his of own ease, examined the witnesses bt of his acusers, presented his own testimony, and read such an able dt b argument as to astonish the court p: r and all present. ra He entered West Point June, 1870. Since that time he has snf- be a fered almost every abuse that could thi ,f be heaped upon him but death. Be ye e it said to the shame of officers in wo t our army and others in highest du e authority that this abuse comes pli 1 mainly from "their sons" in that It 2 institution. we I had no hand in sending Cadet by Smith to West Point. I placed him chi . in Howard University at Washing- hba . ton for a collegiate education. Now em he is there, I propose to stand by iw . him by all the means that God has the rgiven me, when he is riglt, mid de- pai fend him from his abusers and sol slanderers. He will stay at West dii Point, if his life and health are di spared him, "until he graduates," if pe it requires twenty-five years to do od it, although he would have re- of I signed in thirty days after his ad- tioi mission had I not advised him to wel the pontrary. Idesire to test the wh powers that be, and see if they are waI in favor of the fourteenth and fif- thi teenth amendments in prineiple as gre well as in name. fon I aave itin mind to publish, at is some future time, sueach facts as I poe possees of this whole matter, aid pm the efforts that have been made to cha get Cadet Smith out of West Point. s t If it strikes those in high authority pan as well as the small sample ofa by cadet from the Third Cr8neioa If a Distef thi 8tats, thekult wil it i be theirs, not miae.

[raom the Madison Joeurna.] "The very eyprme droops to death- Dark tree, still ad when other's grist i 4d. ar- The only cotut mourner o'er the dead." These lines of Byron's Giaour, of suggested themselves to the writer at the time of the burial of Mr. Pat. Gallagher, in this Parish, a few days d ago-the only attendants at the escene of sepulcher being only four persons. It is not my intention to speak of the deceased "while animated with ad the spark of life, for I knew him not; but my endeavor is to try and illustrate the unchistrian-like man ner in which the death of the un known is generally treated. The narrow and un-inviting ap pearance of the last resting place of the dead, is terrible to contem plate, even when following to the grave those who are near and dear to us; but the terrible contemlnation ° is seldom forced upon our minds m when the death of the unknown is ,nrenounced. Far off from home and friends Dead in a foreign land; Beneath the green sod laid, By only, stranger-hand. No tear of sympathy falls upon ' the mound beneath which lies the d inanimate form of the unknow; no th mother, brother, or sister there, to - whisper fareudll; no one who knew in the dead in life-his memory is is cherished for a day, and is lost with e the setting of the sun. . You who are surrounded with the 1 familiar faces of friends; the com- 1 forts and blessings of home-think I you-of death coming upon you f in a far off and unknown clime; then give way to the teachings of your own heart, and drop a tear in res pect to the memory of the stranger y who dies in a stranger's land. Nrv.ac. le THE SANITARY WATER-CART. The ordinary method of watering the streets amounts to little more I than temporarily fixing the dust, wt ith perhaps a slight cooling effect C dclue o evrporation. The foul odlors " 1 of the street are in no way lessened, ii a but, on the contrary, are augment- R n ed by the presence of the water, as e during our summer heats this sup plies the only condition lacking to 1 rapid decomposition. n A new method, which is said to d be both cheaper and more effective g i than the old, was introduced last R' e year in the city of London, and r was found to answer so well that w t during the present season ts ap 8 plication has been much extended. t It consists simply in adding to the water a preparation of salts devised b tby a Mr. Cooper, and made up S chiefly of deliquescent chlorides. A w - basket of this is poured into the at empty tank of the water-cart, after w which the water is introduced. By ti the time the rank is full the pre- a paration is all dissolved, when the fo solution is distributed in the or- fo dinary way. Besides laying the fo dust, this solution destroys all un- ce pleasant odors, and is itself quite Ti odorless; and, from the attraction to of the salts for moisture, evapora- i tion is retarded and the street kept a, wet much longer than it can be hi where an equal quantity of plain H water is used. The difference in t this respect appears to be very a grt, as by actual trialit has been a found that one load of the solution it is equal for street-watering pur- ju poses to from three to four loads of pure water. It thus becomes cheaper than the common method, as the cost of the deodorant pre- 4 paration is more than compenated b by the reduced amount of cartags n If applied to nlacadataized rads, ret it is reommended that ites use eagina week or two before the -warm period, so that the road may become thoroughly 'impregnated be w*ith the alts.

Margary Dean, in one of her a spicy letters from Newport. gives the following piquant discus:on be 4" tween some young ladies concern ,, ing the merits of certain newepa ter pers: 'aL Sitting on the hotel piazza the eys other morning, watching a group the of young ladies, I overheard a curly ur headed little maiden who was friz zled and panniered and puffed in of the height of style, exclaim, " Oh, I ith like the Independent bestt" A mo im ment before I could have sworn nd that la Petite, never looked at a m- newspaper, and somewhat surprised an- I took the liberty of listening fur ther. "The Tribune suits me," said ip- her black-eyed companion. "I take Ice the Evening Post," chimed in a sty in- lish saucy looking girl, who was he pelting somebody over the railing ar with pond lilies-a beautiful bunch, on by the way, which five minutes be ds fore I had seen a gentleman care is fully selecting for her from a little urchin's basket. And when, I won der, do you girls get time to read newspapers? "Fold them four double, of course," was the next sentence I caught, and more puz n zled than before, I very impolitely le walked near the group, when every 0o thing was made clear to me by the to blonde little one saying, "I had w rather have a newspaper any day is than the best pannier that was ever th made in Paris." I fell back in my seat, uncertain whether to laugh or 1e to feel provoked with the chatter a- boxes, who had strolled off to lay Ik siege to a party of gentlemen just hu from the beach. r Newspaper Borrowers. B This wretched class of small pa rasites is again hit off by one of our exchanges, as follows: "Of all things contemptible, a man who will read a paper at his neighbor's expense is the most con e temptible; especially if that man esteems it his duty to lower papers t collectively, and the editors gener ally. They always meet the carrier first, snatch the paper, and after greedily devouring every morsel of news it contains, throw it aside, say ing, with a contemptuous curl of the lip: 'What trash; it is really fit for nothing but waste paper.' And yet day after day they seem anxious to gain possession of the paper, and seem as disappointed at its non-ar rival as the good paying subscriber, who ever welcomes it as a pleasant visitor. Strange world, this." A CHALLENGE REPELRD.-After the battle of Preston Pans, a witty Scotch farmer amused himself by writing a ballad upon it, which so stung one of the English officers, who had behaved very basely on the occasion, that he sent the poet a challenge to meet him at H---, for mortal combat--The second found the farmer busy with his hay fork, to whom he delivered the challenge of the redoutable hero. The good-natured farmer, turning toward him with the agricultural implement, cooly said: "Gang awa back to Mester Smith, and tell him I ha'e nae time to come to H----to gi'o himn satisfaction, but that if he likes to come here, I'1' tak' a look at him, and, if I think I can fecht him, I'll fecht him ; and if I think Icanna teeht him, I1 just do as he did-I'll rin aw." -A Western preacher explained the passage through theRed Sea 0 by saying that the Israemtes crossed on the lee. An aditor interrupted,A remarking that there is no ice under the equator. 'Sir," msaid the exeited preacher, "this happened thosamnds of years 01 before the age of geographers, and before there was any equator!
