The hero is a moral rustic, ‘the ideal young man from the country, who makes his fortune through the easy accident <of having it thrust upon him, and the heroine ‘is one of those exceptional daughters of wealth “who are as chaste as sandalwood and as sweet as a clear conscience.” Its old men are jaun- ‘diced rouéa, and its old women retired -coquettes, All that is sacred about the one is ‘the tombstones sacred to their memory; and in the other the only thing suggestive of womanhood’s lost Eden is the bird of para- dise plume found in their hats. The fashion- sable wife and husbail may be near each vother, ‘but never next; like parallel lines, they coxist'in vonstant proximity without the possi- bility of coincidence. Infinitesimal fops, brilliant in their parentage, enjoy, like mathe- ‘matical points, position without magnitude, ‘and servo asa contrast to the homespun vir- 4ues ond the hodden-gray virility of the hero MMoosier. The plot is as inextricable as a Broadway lock and almost as unnecessary. ‘The Bohemian shows his brazen features in ‘drawing room and boudoir, and the voice of the sycophant is heard at the champagne. If, fs some one has said, pearls are the product of 1 parasite, there seems less harm in casting them before swine; and society’s sneak is \therefere excusable for strewing his best pearls of flattery before an aristocracy of codfish and shoddy. The writer of the society novel is in the ‘same box with the writer of the society play. His.contemporaneous human interest is an interest which depends upon gloss and var- ‘nish, the superficialities and accidents of life, with none of: its vital and permanent essen- ‘tials. He uses socicty like an Australian ‘cherry, the stone of which grows outside the -fruit, and offers us the pulp of existence with ithe kernel thrown away. The latest instance ‘of this sort of handling is to be found in Dr. -“Mayo's new fiction, entitled ‘‘Never Again’’— :@ book which has been received with a great «show of interest, and which is as uneven and -disappointing in its treatment as it is incon- sgruous initaname. In more than one quar- ter it has been hailed as the society novel of ithe period. With few exceptions the minor ‘critics have clapped their hands in one ac- ‘claim, and congratulated the author upon his- having held, if not the mirror up to nature, :at least the hand-glass up to convention. Here (to quote from criticism) Fifth avenue finds iherself stabbed, and Murray Hill writhes be- neath satire’s perforating scorn. Here, mor- cally speaking, the daughters of music are laid ow, and the sons of fashion stripped as naked as Samaria and Jerusalem. Here the gold foil is scraped from La Jeunesse Dorée, and, like the *Chinaman’s unpropitious god, the deity we mame Fashionable Life is knocked between ‘the eyes and beaten with many stripes. While we are as willing as any one else to admit Dr. Mayo is smarter and cleverer at that this sort of thing than nine out of ten -who essay it, it is impossible for a candid in- telligence to yield him the praise of having ‘written a society novel in the best sense of ‘that term. Society, even in the narrow mean- ing which Dr. Mayo and the contemporaneous comedy writers give to it, is, after all, com- posed of men and women. The heart of hu- aoanity may be heard beating beneath its rouge, its rustle, its diamonds and its smirk. If it sounds hollow it is because we do not rap Joudly enough to discover its tragic solidity. It ‘is as full of significance as a'Centre street con- flagration ora Five Points tenement house. Entomologists sometimes tell us of the gor- geous marvels of the insect world, of vast colonies of resplendent mites, whose kingdom isa single leaf, which are born embroidered :in a purple and fine linen beyond the sleight ‘of man, and, strolling through golden and grateful forests, lead instantaneous lives as warm as fire and exquisite asdew. We cannot renter into the consciousness of creatures such as these; but we may feel certain that it has dts ‘tragedies as well as its delights. Most of mus are teo apt to consider the account asa ifairy tale, and it is in some such ‘way as this that those who know absolutely nothing of what is termed wpociety are apt to add together its supposed delights. To them it is painless, easy and vo- luptuous, with no trouble beyond that which .comes of amiable competition. What our lite- ature needs is a writer who shall not only un- derstand this subject, but also possess the art of so telling us about it as to interest and in- struct. Dr. Mayo’s novel is merely a variega- ‘tion of “Rutledge.”’ Its types are hackneyed, its social pictures are snobbish, and while pre- tending to probe to the heart of things it stops at the clavicle. It creates nothing and indi- vidualizes nothing. The writer of this class gives us, not the root and branch of society, but the petal and pollen of wealth and fashion, the corolla and corona of etiquette and style. Instead of feeling the pulse of mankind he re- quests La Mode to put out her tongue. That he NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, JANUARY CENTRAL ASIA, |THE NORTHFLEET Disaster.

Definition of the Perritorial Limits of Afghan- istan and Ulterior Difficulties. Topographical Strategy in Preparation for a Grand Trial of Strength. ‘When the Day of Fighting for Supremacy Comes.” TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALB. The following special despatch to the Herarp has been received from our corre- spondent in the British capital :— Lonpon, Jan. 25, 1873. Uneasiness prevails in the public mind with respect to the English note to St. Petersburg on the subject of the disputed boundary be- tween the passessions of the British and Rus- sians in Central Asia. In the settlement of the relations thereto, which were completed between the Powers a few years since on what is known as the Forsyth understand- ing, Great Britain merely required Russia to abstain from invasion of Afghanistan, but the extreme territorial limits or topographical extent of Afghanistan itself was left unde- fined. . DECLARING THE GEOGRAPHICAL POSITION. The present note of Queen Victoria’s Cabi- net to the Czar Alexandar declares that the northern: boundary of Afghanistan com- mences at the Lake of Siri-Kol, in the Pamir Steppe, and thence follows the Oxus to Kadjah- Saleh, whence it diverges and runs westward to the Persian frontier. England, the note further states, has in- formed the Emir of Afghanistan that he may fight the Russians if they cross this line. THE RUSSIAN COUNTER CASE. The Russian reply to the communication from St. James’ declares the desire of his Imperial Majesty the Czar of Russia for the maintenance of good relations with England, but also announces that the St. Petersburg government refuses to accept the indicated boundary in Central Asia for the reason that the line includes countries which have never belonged to Afghanistan, but which have been, on the contrary, always independent. INITIAL STRATEGY FOR A CLASH OF ARMS. Apparently the Russian object for the cap- ture of Khiva is to establish military and commercial depots in the territory and to hold and occupy the whole of the valley of the Oxus. England draws this line and will interfere against Russia for the purpose of enabling Great Britain the better to hold the Hinder- Kush as a line of defence when the day of fighting with Russia for supremacy in Asia comes on.

She will not, however, leave England, but will take up her abode in some other portion of the country. : gays many clever things, that he is to a cer- tain extent conscientious, that he might do much moro valuable work, that he is fre- . quently nice and happy in his epithets and carefully avoids the frayed conventionalities of speech, we often see no reason to deny. But when an author holds close to his ear the shell - called society he ought to detect the music of humanity murmuring within it, and what we ask is that some strains of that music may be plainly discernible in whatever other fugues of fashion our society novelist may hereafter give to the world.

Y., Jan. 25, 1873, The horrible crime that has startled the people Of this neighborhood for mafles around is still the all-absorbing topic of interest here, and as the facts come to light suspicion grows stronger that CHARLES SHAW 18 THE MURDERER of his daughter and the intending murderer of his wife and five children, Shaw bears a bad reputa- tion in this county, but his wife has been always much respected, The cause of alk the trouble seems to have arisen from Shaw’s intimacy with a Mrs, Briggs, the wife of a former neighbor, and tas intimacy is the strongest proof of A MOTIVE FOR THE FIENDISH ACT. The Shaw family reside about three miles from Cambridge, on the road to East Bridge, the Briggs family now residing at Hoosich, having removed ‘hither at Christmas last. The names of the chil- dren who have’ sufferté ave Marietta, aged eigh- teen; Elizabeth, aged fourteen ; Hattie, aged twelve; Anna, aged cight, and Ida, aged five. EMtzabeth Is ° THE ONLY ONE AS YET THAT HAS DIED, but the mother is now so: low that no hope of Mer recovery is entertained. The doctors have exam ined the stomach of the deceased girl, and have found that she died trom poison. The stomach and contents are now at-Albany for positive information as to the kind of poison used. Immediately pre- ceding the sickness of the family Shaw was absent from home ON A VISIT 70 THE BRIGGSES, and this.circumstance especially excites corrobo- rative and indignant suspicion of his guilt, During several years past he has been frequently before the'Court here for ill-treatment of his wife, and his general character was very bad,. Shaw has been mostly employed: as‘a farm laborer, and is about thirty-nine years of age. Besides the chil- Gren named. above, there is a son, who: is: married and who lives noone knows where, The eldest daughter, Fanny, now about.twenty years of age, became the mother of an illegitimate’ offspring some years ago, but is now married. Marietta gave birth to a child only a few days since, which died within a few hours after birth, The otjer children are Emma, aged.three, and Chartie, one’, Shaw has persisted in denying his guilf ver since the doctor who was summoned to attend th two children first taken sick stated his suspicions of there being foul play. The following ante-mortem statement of Mrs. Shaw, taken before Justice Fletcher yesterday, tells the story of how the deed was done and the circumstances under which Stiaw is deservedly looked upon as the perpetrator of it:— ANTR-MORTEM STATEMENT OF MRS. SHAW. I am the wife of Charles Shaw. I think.I shall never get well. I have no hope of ever recover- ing. I was taken sick.a week ago.last Monday, about the middle of the afternoon. My children, Harriet, Libbie, Anna and Ida, were: taken sick. at. the same time, and Marietta. was taken. sick the next day. We were all taken in the same way with a headache, pain in the bowels.and vomiting. Ihad eaten nothing unusual upon the day 1 was taken sick nor upon the day before. My husband leit home the Saturday before I was taken stck, and came back Sunday about four o'clock in the rnoon-and remained at home until we were taken sick, Tuesday alternoon my husband weut and got SOME WHISKEY and fixed some of it ina glass and gave it to the children, who were sick.. He then fixed some more ina goblet and offered it to me. I told him 1 would not drink it until he drank some of it. I told him this because he t! ht so much of Mrs, Briggs that I was afraid to drink it. Mrs. Briggs sworn that she would have my life and take her comfort with wy husband. I did not know but THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING WRONG IN THE LIQUOR, My husband drank most of the liquor and I drank. the rest of it, My husband brought home quite a quantity of sausage tie Thursday before I was taken sick, and all ate of the suusage twice every 1y until we were taken sick; I gave some of this sae to my daughter Fannie, who keeps house. There had been no one in the house but our own family tor several days before we were taken sick. There had been no stranger in or about the house for a week before.we were taken sick that I know of. About a week belore Briggs and his wile moved they both swore that they would have re. venge upon me; that I need not think that I was going te have comfort with Charles Shaw the rest of my days. Briggs and wife moved away upon last Christmas Day. I have not seen either of them since. Charies Shaw has THREATENED MY LIFE A GREAT MANY TIMES. I don’t recollect that he ever threatened to poison me. Think that Charles Shaw and the Briggses know all about the trouble. About a week before Mrs. Briggs moved away she told me she had two bottles ol corrosive subiimate and offered to give me one. I did not take it. She said she had it to kill bedbugs with. Mrs. Briggs often told me she could destroy a regiment of folks and not be found out. I dia not feel well when I took the liquor; but the children were not taken sick until after they drank the liquor. Neither the children nor myself vom- ited until after we drank the liquor. I had not vomited at all. My husband told me last Summer that Mrs, Srigas ‘would "be the stepmother of my children, My husband has asked me several times lately if I would give him a bill, and told me he would give me THE COW AND FIFTY DOLLARS IF I WOULD GIVE HIM A BILL OF DIVORCE. Mrs. Shaw is still alive, but her death 1s momen- tarily expected. She made another statement a few days ago, when she thought she would get well, differing from this, but claims that it was made in fear of her husband. ‘The other poisoned ones remain in about the same condition, with hopes of their ultimate recovery. THE ANALYSIS OF THE STOMACH of the first victim is being proceeded with, and the exact nature of the ison will. soon be made known. Shaw and the Briggses seem to be strongly implicated in the crime, and the latter will be ar- rested @t once, Public sentiment is strongly against them. THE EXAMINATION. into the whole circumstances attending this, the most horrible crime ever committed tn Washington county, Will be commenced on Monday, when it is hoped that such facts will be elicited that there will be no doubt as to who the real criminals are.
