NEW STORY. « IMPORTANT NOTICE. ♦ We have great pleasure m announcing to our subscribers that we have securec the right to publish Mr. Mar cus Clarke new novel "THE MYSTERIES OF MAJOR SEOLINfiUX." The publication of which will be commenced m our supplement on conclusioi of the serial story now running. "The Mystery of Mujor Molineux ' is a strange, weird story, founded on facts connected with the early history of Tasmania. As a psychological study it ap. proaches m subtlety to some of the mosi successful efforts of the author of " Adan Hede ;" while for iutensity of sustainec interest and soul-thrilling excitement it ii only surpassed by Sir Edgar Poe ir " The Mystery of Marie Keget," anc " The Murdei» m the ttue Mo-gue." Ii is a some wh. -it remarkable narrative, and another instance of the fact that truth is stranger than fictiou. There is a faciuation about the story and a horror. The author of " The Raven," m his wildesi flights? was not more absorbing. A vein of physiological and psychological intercsl runs through it ; but the principal feature m the story is its wci duess and its ghastly seeming reality. There is nothing m the story to oilund the most refined taste, while it appeals to that innate belief m the supernatural which clings to us m spite ot our philosophy. We shudder while we.iyad: hut we read that we m;iy shu !der: That the story is l>ase<l upon facts does not detract from its interest, but rather lends an n\rvruiscmbtance to a story which would otherwise be ton appalling. It is an introspective study, a psvcological romance, a social diania — worthy oi the author of " His Natural Life." NOTICE.
