FIGHTING AGAINST FATE;

By Mary E. Bryan.
A Modern Cleopatra.— The celebrated Princess
de Solnis, otherwise Madame Eatazzi. is said to
be writing her memoirs, which the Paris press
anticipates will contain any amount of racy rev-
elations; for the erratic pseudo-Princess is the
heroine of a hundred love-aflairs. the writer of
dozens of bold novels in which she lignres self-
pictured, and the actor in any number of sin
gular, piquant and daring adventures. She is
a modern Cleopatra—Bohemian and blue-stock
ing as well as beauty. She is a musician, poet,
painter, actor and novelist — all in one: and
added to this, she is the most skillful and inde
fatigable tiirt that ever lived. She has been de

The Loves of Hans Andersen.—Hans Ander

known that his life had one grand passion his
love for -Jenny Lind. Around it, he wove the
purest, brightest, most graceful fancies his gen

one love of his life. Some spirited attempts
were made to marry him. One pretty peasant
girl, especially, was urgent in offering herself
and insisting that he needed to be taken care of.
“My good girl." replied Andersen, emphatic

OI K WEEKLY ISSUES.
With this number begin the weekly issues of
The Sunny South. It will hereafter be pub
lished every Saturday.
Are We a Heading People!
We are apt to boast of our literary proclivity,
but it is sadly true that there is not yet a
universal love of literature in the South. There
is no general mental craving for new and live
reading—no stimulating desire to keep pace
with the thought and sentiment of the day.
It is the want of this active interest that has
caused so many excellent periodicals to die out
in the South. No periodical can thrive unless
it has its root in the warm sympathy and inter
est of the people. The Northern papers flour
ish broadly, because they are rooted in the daily
life and love of the people—not of the “cultured”
and leisure-loving few, but of the great mass of
working men and women, who form the ground
work of society. In New York, the mechanic,
the factory girl and the seamstress hoard their
earnings through the week that they may buy a
copy of some literary paper or periodical for a
Saturday night treat. They read it with keen
appreciation; they discuss it among themselves;
it enters into their daily thought and feeeling;
they would sooner do without the Sunday pud
ding or juicy chop than dispense with this men
tal aliment that freshens and invigorates both
mind and body.
At the South, the surplus earnings of many in
dividuals would most probably find their way
to the tobacco shop, the beer or whisky saloon,
or the fruit and peanut stand in the case of the
man, or be invested in the dollar store in the
purchase of mock jewelry, a flimsy ribbon, or a
handful of bon-bons in the feminine instance.
The keen craving for literary recreation so uni
versal farther North is rarely seen among ns,
and the eager, responsive interest in literary
productions is also wanting. To write for ap
preciative readers is a keen stimulant to the
journalist. He loves to feel that his work is en
joyed by that class with whom his sympathies
are in fullest unison,—the great band of workers
to whom he belongs and to whom he takes de
light in belonging. Let the journalist feel that
he carries the sympathies of the people with
him, and his brain and pen are vitalized by a
new life. This is the secret of the power pos
sessed by a certain portion of the press of Paris.
It thrills and throbs with the consciousness of
the intelligent interest, the quick rapport of the
people.
Is it not possible to arouse this vital interest in
literature among our Southern masses? Is the
absence of it owing to the lack of .'esthetic cul
ture, to constitutional phlegm—a reserved, unre
sponsive habit of mind? Or is it due to the
anxious self-absorption which is a consequence
of our late reverse of fortune? Is it poverty,
rather than dullness, that causes our masses to
shut themselves against the ameliorating influ
ences of literature ? If it be so, it is neverthe
less an unwise policy. We are poor, it is true,
hut we must he poor, indeed—mentally as well
as physically—not to know that it is not by bread
alone that man and woman must live; not to feel
that whatever lightens the daily burden of care,
and freshens and quickens thought, will also put
new life and strength into working brain and
muscle. The mind, the imagination, must have
food. Starve these, and you starve and stunt the
better part of the man. Y'ou reduce him to a
mere machine, and a machine, too, which, never
being oiled by recreating influences, will soon
wear out—will become prematurely worn and
old. Be wise and lubricate the machinery of
life with the oil of thought and imagination.
Give to the literary laborers among you the
warm sympathy and active interest they crave;
let them feel that by giving you live literature,
the outgrowths of the thought and feeling of
the age, they contribute to your daily welfare
and to the higher necessities of your being. *

full of bitter personalities and stinging sarcasm.
It is said of them, that no man ought to read
them until he was forty, and no woman until
she was a hundred. She made marriage and
women the special targets of her satire. It is
she who said that “matrimony is the thorn on
the rose of love,” and that “the way to hymen’s
temple is over the grave of love.” Nevertheless,
she was twice married. She divorced herself
from her first husband, and gave him her bless

she said: “I was the wife of that stupid Alsa

LETTER FROM MISSOURI.
It has begn recently discovered by Professor
Kolbe that Salicylic acid is a powerful disinfect
ant and destroyer of living contagia. It has
been proven most effectual in treating the worst
cases of diphtheria, and the medical fraternity
confidently assert that it is destined to he suc

Origin of Instinct.—We are accustomed to
think of instinct as something innate and coex
istent with creation—given in perfection to the
first individuals of the species. But modern
science will not have it so, and insists on trac
ing it back by the clue of evolution, though ad
mitting that it is one of the hardest nuts that
the evolutionists have to crack. Prof. Joseph
Le Conte, in a most ingenious article in the last
Science Monthly, asserts instinct to be the accu
mulated experience or knowledge of many gen
erations becoming gradually “permanently fixed
and petrified in brain-structure.” “All such
petrifaction,” he continues, “arrests farther de-
