" : : Karl Gutzknw, whose death was re cently announced, was one of the leading literary men of modern Germany. His first novel of importance, "Wally, the Sceptic," preached atheism and the liber ation of the senses in a form neither decent or especially attractive, and earned for him a sentence of three months's imprison ment. In duercourse, however, he sobered down and his masterpiece, "The Wizard of; Rome," published, -in 1859, eontains nothing objectionablet either from a moral or an artistic point of view. Iu it the KyXturlcamqf between Rome and Ger many is foreshadowed with surpris ing accuracy, and the ultimate solution of the straggle is predicted in the final Chapter, Ida ted 44 18 ? ?," in which a future and national Pope fraternizes with a fu ture Garibaldi or the Capitol. As i work of art " The Wizard " was to illustrate the principle of " parallelism,," several plots being carried on simultaneously with marvellous Jsgenuity. After this great effort Gutzkow's brain gave way for a time, but he.recovered and wrote, several other novels, none of which, however, ob ,tained much success. Gutzkow is the au thor of one of the best German tragedies of modern date, named "Uriel Acosta," after its hero, the Jewish freethinker and master of Spinoza. Captain Ed Denies. Condensed from the St. LouU RepubUcanx 28. Captain James B. Eads prints in, the Republican- the following letter, though the letter is addressed to- the New York Sun: Captain Eads declares that the Sun correspondent has grossly misled that paper by a series of misstatements. He specifies, first, that according to the cor respondent his income twelve years ago amounted to nothing. By a transcripts made from the eld books for 1864 it is shown that the income of Captain Eads daring that year was $72,555.98 ; $5,785.65 were paid in government taxes . Jx-uov- ernor F letcher writes to Uaptain Ji.acs that, so far from the stock of the Bank of the "State of Missouri being worth 150 for investment at,, that time, the stock was depreciated and depre ciating. Some of the State branches of the hank were insolvent. iDuring the three years, previous to the sale, the mother bank made but one dividend, a three per cent, dividend. As for "wresting the bank from respectable hands, suddenly, by a sharp trick," Captain Eads says ; that the bank' was put into the hands of a new directory by an almost unanimous j vote. Then, for the eleven years preceding8 its failure, tbi bank earned eight per cent, per annum for its stockholders. , No mere money was bor rowed by the. directors 'than the law al lowed, and the borrowed-money was in every case secured by collateral. The statement that the bankwas "captured", to help build the St. Louis bridge is abusrd. The bridge project was not -even thought of. The bridge was built by individual en terprise. Other false statements are al luded to by Captain Eads, who thinks, that thefael ofan investigation by the grand jury should close the columns of a newspa per from what cannot but appear to be malignant attacks. . j Relief for the Gallant Swede. Herald paUe. Berlin, . Dec 39, 1878. The despatch' to the Herald, dated Baa Francisco, Dec, 10, published on the 11th, and worded as follw8: "Whalers lately arrived from the Arctic Ocean report that a ship believed to bo the larger of . the vessels of the Swedish Polar Expedition is. blocked in the ice above the Cape East," .has caused great v alarm among the German and Swedish' friends of Professor Nordsnsk jold, the distinguished leader of the expe dition. . . ' As the East Cape is at the northern en trance of the narrows of Berhing Strait, on the Asiatic side, and so near the goal sought by the adventurous expeditionists, the feeling here is that if the Herald's J desaptcaes be true the late of the party is deplorable and bitterly disappointing. - The friends and coutrymen ofsProfesspr Noreaskjold intend fitting ouJwithout delay, a relief expedition, whijsrwiir pro ceed to the pointwhere he . is reported to be beset and afford him and His party all possiblo'assUtanee. Little difficulty will bo met ia accomplishing this purpose, as the ocean currents setting toward Berhing Strait from the Western Pacific favor an easy and very direct approach to the East Cape. . .i Those whoare familiar with the move meat of the ice in this portion of the Arctic Ocean hope that the Nordenskjold or Swedish expedition will effect a release in the early part of the summer. Winds aad current at present tend to keep the ice against the northeast coast of Siberia, and therefore to lock the Vega in the floes northward of the East Cape. Necrologj- of '78. . ' St York Herald. The necrology of the - year is not very remarkable. With the exception of Pius IX. aad Victor Emmanuel there have been no deaths in 1878 which make any change in. the ordinary. current of affairs. The death of personages like the ex-Queen of Spain aad young Queen of the same coun try, and of the Princess Alice, have only a social significance. In the list of Amer ican dead we may mention Gideon Welles, Benjaatia F. Wade, William C. Bryant, Joseph Henry and Bayard Taylor. There has beea a large mortality among Euro pean scientists, Dr. Petermann being one of Che most conspicuous and George Henry Lewes, better Known in letters than in science, one of .the- most. recent.'

Itlis the town j 'sh'p committees who .are charged with the i most important of all pasty duties. - To them is committed the duty of supervising the election, and of devising. -means; to bring out every Democratic voter to the polls. They ougfit to meet frequently and advise and take counsel together how hot to romote the for tunes jof that party, on whose success depends so largely. the prosperity of themselves and of tneir posterity, in every town-snip, in ever neighborhood, there ought to be; appointed a committee of active, cflieient, and prudent party men, who will undertake to see that every Democrat in the precinct comes to the polls and easts his ballot for our nomlneee. We therefore urge this upon ithe township , committees ; and if in any towpship it is ne glected, we appeal to our Democratic friends there to send their conveyances for all their neighbors who other-vise might not attend the poljs. Ljet it be clearly understood in every locali ty that he who fails to vote for .our nominee, gives half a vote to the Republican party, and that the Conservative who casts his vote for an independent is taking the surest means to break up and' destroy the only party which can give relief to our afflicted country. We warn our fellow-citizens that great ends can not be accomplished except at the cost of some inconvenience, and often through the sacrifice of bur personal preferences 5 ahdwe appeal ' to every man who has the good of the people at heart to- give a portion of one day to his country, and subordinating his. individual preferences, cast his ballot for the nominee of the Conservative party. : ; For the' Committed : ' ' ; S.
