LIVING WRITERS OF THE SOUTH.
An unerring index of tlie culture of
any people is the appreciation and pa
tronage they extend to their laborers in
the literary field. AVlien we refer to such
laborers we do not mean the puny pla
giarists who thrust themselves forward
with puling rhymes or unreal romances
of immoral and nauseating prose. AYe
do not mean the class of journalists who
publish and commend such productions,
and who are willing to lower the public
taste to any conceivable depth that they
may get money at the sacrifice of morals
and good taste. AYe mean the serious,
earnest conscientious laborers in the field
of letters; the toilers who create, ormould
into more useful forms, the knowledge
which suits the tastes of our people, and
which at the same time, is conducive to
their intellectual, moral and religious
growth.
Such laborers there are in the South;
such earnest and conscientious toilers;
but they are too often neglected and
even despised by that large class of coarse
and ignorant snobs who deem riches the
sole happiness of life, the present life all
that is worth earing for (except, possibly,
a little on Sundays, and that mainly for
effect on public opinion) and who regard
with inexpressible contempt all of the re
finements of taste, exaltation of thought,
intellectuality of effort and of labor
which they do not understand, and are as
anxious not to understand experimental
ly as they are not able to understand
practically the Christian religion, or tlie
small pox. AYe mean no irreverence by
this juxtaposition. The glorious spirit
ual exaltation of the one, and the loath
some corporeal death from the other, both
antagonize miserly hoardings in this life
by ungodly mammon-worshippers.
Thus with regard to the class who re
gard all literary effort as something to
be despised even worse than mere folly.
Another class, affecting to be highly "cul
tured”, can find nothing in the produc
tions of Southern minds worthy of pa
tronage. Nonsense of the emptiest type,
as well as literary garbage of the filthiest
moral character, are greedily devoured
S) tli^y but emanate from some renowned
pirate in the English or Yankee seas of
literature—some scribbler whose “fame”
(how often “ill-fame!") has been heralded
Southward on the pages of venal North
ern newspapers in sensational italics and
capitals. How glibly these literary pre
tenders will ask if you have read “Ouida’s
last!” How few of such know anything
of the small Spartan band of architects
who are, stone by stone, building up an
enduring temple of Southern Literature,
of noble proportions, founded on morali
ty and religion, and adorned with all the
graces of the most superb rhetorical art.
It will at least be appreciated by our
people when the builders thereof shall
have passed away to the better land.
Befoie us is tlie elegant and charming
little volume of our friend Prof. James
Wood Davidson of South Carolina, enti
tled “Living AYriters of the South.”
Seeing it suggests the above reflections.
AYlio of our people have this volume?
How many would prefer its racy sketches
of the Southland’s real writers to the
morbid and unreal scenes and characters
in “Ouida’s last?” AAA G. M.
SOUTHERN HISTORICAL SOCIETY-
Air. H. Ewbank, the efficient and intel
ligent General Agent of the Southern
Historical Society has been doing good
service in our sister cities of Augusta and
Savannah. From the latter, he will come
directly to Milledgeville, and he may be
expected within a few days from the pres
ent.
All-. Ewbank has met in Augusta and
Savannah that zealous co-operation which
might have been expected on the part of
tlie very large number of intelligent and
patriotic Southern people residing there.
Such people cannot do otherwise than
cherish an intense desire that Southern
history shall be emiched with all the facts
of which it has.been deprived by the cap
ture and destruction of so many of our
Confederate records, and by all other in
cidents which will shed a merited lustre
on the heroism of Southern character.—
How many heroic daughters of the South
deserve to live immortal in story and in
song as much as Joan of Arc and Char
lotte Corday ’. We should form at once
an auxiliary Historical Society in our city,
and give to Air. Ewbank the welcome and
the enthusiastic aid the cause deserves.
Since writing tlie foregoing, Air. Ew
bank has arrived, and is now in our city.
THE ADIRONDACK^.
To the student worn and weary with
brain toil; to the melancholy ; to the fee
ble or the gay, there is nothing which of
fers such perfect relaxation from care,
such a soothing influence as well as health
ful invigoration, as a few week's sojourn
in the country. Away from the noise, the
crowd, and the contention of the throng
ed city, the poor over worked victim of
business finds repose in the vast solitudes
where there is comparative absence of
sights and sounds and cares. In the woods
God reigns in sublime silence, and the
meditative mind translates his creator
better from his unwritten works than his
written word.
One of America’s sweetest bards has
beautifully said:
“If tliou art worn and hard beget
With sorrows that thou wouldst forjjet;
If thou wunldst read a lesson that will keep
Tby heart from fainting and thy soul from sleep,
Go to the woods and hills! No tears
Dim the sweet look that nature wears.”
The Adirondack wilderness is just the
place to afford all the soothing lessons that
the poet would impress upon the wont
and weary soul. This majestic solitude
with its magnificent mountains, its foams
ing cataracts, its lakes and its streams lies
between Lakes George and Champlaih on
the east, and the river St. Lawrence on
the north and west. AYithin this wilder-,
ness it is estimated that a thousand lakes
gleam amid the depths of gigantic forests
of pine and hemlock. The lakes offer the
best fishing amusement to the tourist and
sportsman, while deer stalk abroad ready
targets to the hunter’s aim. The air is
of the purest quality, laden with the
healing odors of pine, spruce and balsam,
and is said to be especially curative to the
consumptive. A trip to the Adirondack
wilderness of a month’s duration costs a

THE DEW-DROPS.
I5Y UDE MERIWETHER.
Once in the days of the olden time
When tlie gods he! i speech with men
Three handmaidens of Krishna came
With a prayer for his benison,
And a wish that lie would their wisdom test—
He gave them three drops of dew,
Bade each bestow where she deemed it best
And bring him her record true*
Tlie first flew eaithward, and soon she saw
Tlie siDging waters run
Where a crystal fountain leaped and played
In the gleaming summer’s suu ;
Tlie fainting pilgrim died of tkiist
And the eaith was parched and dry,
But tlie king’s bright fountain upward burst
In murmuring melody.
And I thought—“if over this arid waste
I could scatter a flood of rain—
But what could a single dew-drow do
To assuage this mighty pain 1
Here where her bright companions dwell
Shall she live and gleam anew”—
And into the crystal fountain fell
ilcr glistening drop of dew.
The second hovered over the sea.
And under its climbing waves
She saw the ludian oyster lie
Among sea weed and coral caves;
And she thought—“each drop of dew that falls
In an oyster’s open shell
Becomes a pure and priceless pearl,
So the mystic legeuds tell.”
“Now iu this shell it is surely best
I should drop my treasure down,
Where it shall soon to a gem be changed
And may shine in a monarch’s crown :
Untold wealth it may bring to man
Ily its nlchymistic spell”—
And she shook the crystal dew-drop down
In the mouth of the open shell.
The third had scarce began lier flight
O'er the white and parching land
When she Baw a little helpless bird
Dying upon the sand;
Its wings were drooped ami its bright eyes glazed,
No song from its bosom burst,
But its litt'e life was going out
In an agony of thirst.
And I thought—“thus shall my boon be given,
If it be but a drop of raiu,
To lie Ip the first and lowliest thing -
That I see iu mortal pain”—
Into the parched and silent throat,
The cooling dew-drop fell,
Its dull eyes beamed, and its song uprose
Its gratitude to tell.
Then Krishna said that she alone
Ilad used her power well,
Aud gave her good and gladsome news
To the thirsting earth to tell.
And since that day, this maiden fair
Has scattered her blessings true
Over a hushed and waiting woild
In the welcome moruing dew.
Geuius is like the moruing dew
To a dry and parching earth.
Use it wisely, ye favored few
Who own its priceless worth;
Scatter its gems where’er a heart
An answering echo gives,
Nor deem its blessings ill bestowed
On the lowliest thing that lives.

A CAPITOL SPORT, OR CONflBE*
HI OVA I, STOItY.
BY JOTHAM W1NROW.
Old Shylock, who never eats bacon, they say
On Capitol Hill went sporting one day
For poultry; for tom-tits and chick-a-dee-dees.
He cared not a fig; what lie wanted was geese.
He took neither pointer, nor setter, nor gun,
But thought with a net he could have better fun.
So he went to an artisan, one of those chaps
Whose brain was inventive in all kinds of traps.
He had dip nets aud scoop-nets, and hoop-nets and
seines,
And fly-nets and quail-nets, and fishing-rod canes,
Golden minnows for bait; books with flies and without,
For catching of codfish, and catfish, and trout.
And suckers. Said Shylock: “I want none of these;
I’m after a net for the catching of geese,
For Capitol Hill is now full of that game,
And I think with a net I cau capture the game ;
For, of all tlie good victuals my palate to please.
There’s nothing so luscious and wholesome as geese.”
Then the net-maker showed him a net of new style,
Which, he warranted, any old goose would beguile.
It was fashioned and wove with such magical skill
That the sportsman could capture bis game at his will;
For the artist had made it with foresight so keen
That invisible the net, yet the bait could be seen
So the purchase was made. With his nut in his hand.
And chuckling with glee, the Jew took his stand
On Capitol Ilill, and spreading his net
With golden corn baited and everything set.
He stood ofi to watch, not waited lie long,
For soon there alighted a web-footed throng.
They had come from the North, from the South, West
aud East.
With a grhi, says old Hebrew,“I'll uow have a feast.”
Then they all waddled in without seeiug his net
("That’s one of the best traps I ever saw set. ’)
Then into his game-bag he counted them o'er,
Of the flat-foots tluee hundred aud fifty or more.
Tlicu he hiedhiniselt home, aud resolved, on the war,
Togo sporting again there on some other day.
CHANCELLOR THURLOW.
The famous Crabb Robinson relates
(vol I. p. 243) the following anecdote of
the celebrated English Lord Chancellor
Thurlow who died in 1S0G :
******
“When, in 1788, Beaufoy made his fa
mous attempt to obtain the repeal of the
Corporation and Test Act, a deputation
waited on the Lord Chancellor Thurlow
to obtain his support. The deputies were
Drs. Kippis, Palmer (of Hackney) and
Rees. The Chancellor heard them very
civilly, and then said, ‘Gentlemen, I'm
against you, by G—d. I am for the Es
tablished Church, d—nine! Not that I
have tiny more regard for the Established
Church' than for any other church, but
because it is established. If you can get
your d—d religion established, I’ll be for
that too!’ ”
We trust there is not now in America a'
Judge who would be so profane or unciv
il to any respectful delegation soliciting
his influences for any purpose.

CONDITION OF WOMEN IN INDIA
The abominable practice of female in
fanticide has been very common in India;
and in those provinces where the Chris
tian religion has not created a conscience
upon the subject, and where the British
government has but limited sway, this
terrible crime still prevails to such an ex
tent as almost to surpass belief. The
lieutenant governor of the northwestern
provinces quite recently examined ten
villages, where he found one hundred and
four boys and only one girl, nor had any
women been married for ten years. In
twenty seven others there were two hun
dred and eighty-four boys and twenty-
three girls; in nine villages he found
seventy one boys and seven girls; and in
other localities the very tradition of mar
riage had been lost. A Mr. Moore, who
was charged by the Legislative Council
of Calcutta with an inquiry into the mat
ter, personally visited three hundred and
eight villages in other parts of India, and
reported that, in twenty-six, not a single
girl above six years old could be found,
and that no woman had been married
from the villages for upward of eighty
years. There had therefore, been de
monstrably an enormous slaughter of
female children. But murder was not
the only crime revealed by these discover
ies. The men of these villages, like all
Hindoos, must many, and many early;
and the question was, how could they be
supplied with wives? There seems no
doubt that the difficulty was got over by
kidnapping, or purchasing girls from dis
tant places who were sold tojthe villagers,
the sellers pretending and the buyers
affecting to believe that the child was of
caste sufficiently high to admit of her being
manied in the village. Wholesale murder
seems in fact to have led to wholesale
kidnapping or buying All the author
ities seem to be agreed as to the main
cause of these atrocities. They spring
from the pride of family and caste. The
natives who practice them belong mostly
to the highest secular caste, the Rajpoots;
and a member of this caste deems it a
deep disgrace to many his daughter to
anybody not at least of equal rank and
position in society with himself; and he
considers it a still deeper disgrace to have
a marriageable daughter unmarried.—
Again, the marriage ceremonies are nu
merous and very costly. The expense
falls on the bride’s father; and to avoid
this expense or the disgrace alluded to
the girls are strangled or otherwise dis
posed of. While what we named is the
main cause of the destruction of the fe
male offspring, other reasons are, the
poverty of the parents, and the sad lot of
the wife and mother in India; for, be it
remembered, the one who almost invari
ably performs the dreadful deed is the
mother herself. When a Hindoo woman
was expostulated with for putting her
children to death, she replied: “Would
that my mother had killed me! for see
what a miserable lot mine is—serving a
cruel and tyrannous husband, considered*
an inferior being, and treated like ft 1
1 slave.”

THE KENTUCKY TRAGEDY.
The Sad Rsuits of a Divorce Suit—
Living at Pistol Point with Mankind.
Cincinnati, March 23, 1874.
Colonel W. G. Terrell, the well known
Covington (Ky.) journalist, who was re
cently dangerously stabbed by a son of
Squire Francis, was an actor to-day in
another and more terrible affair. About
11 o’clock this morning Terrell went to
the law office of Harvy Myers, in Coving
ton, and shot him through the body with
a Deringer pistol. Myers lived only 20
minutes.
Mr. Myers was one of the prominent
lawyers of Kentucky, and was widely es
teemed for his legal learning, strict integ
rity and broad humanity. He occupied
temporarily judicial positions by appoint
ment and was forty-three years of age.—
The wound was produced by a Deringer
ball about the size of the fore finger tip.
It struck the abdomen near a center line,
and passing through cut the bowels.
Messengers were sent immediately for
Mrs. Myers and her six children, three of
whom were present at their father s death.
The other three were on the way to the
office, the yomigest being a babe in
arms.
Tin? CAUSE OF THE KILLING.
The divorce suit now pending in the
Campbell County Circuit Court, brought
by Mrs. Terrell, was the prime cause of
this bloody affray. For some days the
lawyers for plaintiff—Messrs. Stevenson,
Myers and Owroot—have been taking de
positions, at which Col. Terrell was pres
ent, and appeared to be at all times under
a high state of nervous excitement at the
character of the testimony adduced. His
demeanor, as described by those who saw
his actions and heard his words on those
occasions, was that of a man seeming-
!y
driven to desperation.
He.threatened to shoot or whip his wife s
lawyers, and behaved so offensive on more
than one occasion that it became necessa
ry to reprimand him publicly. It was
only a few days ago, when depositions on
behalf of plaintiff were m progress at tlie
office of Stevenson & Myers, that Colonel
Terrell again became almost frantic and in
this mood repeated threats of killing the
attorneys and any one who had anything
to do with the case in liis wife s interest.
Mr. Myers reprimanded him by stating
that he (Terrell) was an intelligent man
and knew well the duties of a lawyer, a
few minutes previous to the shooting.—
This morning the depositions in the di
vorce case were resumed in the office of
Mr. Whittemore. They closed the testi
mony about ten o’clock, when Mr. Myers
returned to his office and took his place
at a desk in the rear room. He did this
to as to be undisturbed while he reviewed
the testimony taken that morning. Fif-
seen minutes hardly passed before Col.
Terrell came into the front room and keep
ing his hand in the right pocket of his
overcoat asked for Mr. Myers. He was
directed to the rear roof, and passing
through to the connecting door began to
question Mr. Myers in a very abrupt and
offensive manner about some interroga
tions that had been put to witness that
morning. Mr. Myers was heard to re
ply that Col. Terrel could answer what
questions he pleased. Col. Terrell then
said something else, that could only have
been audible to Mr. Myers himself, and
the latter was heard to order the other
out of his office.
Col. Terrell displayed some obstinacy
in complying with tins demand, where
upon Mr. Myers left his seat at the desk,
where lie was engaged in writing, and
taking hold of Terrell attempted to push
him through the door that opened into
the hall-way. Mr. Corcoran, a clerk in
the office, hearing a difficulty, started out
to the hall, but before he got quite to the
door
heard a pistol shot,
and, running into the little room found
Mr. Myers staggering with his hand on
his side and a stream of blood gushing
through his fingers.
“He has shot me,” cried Mr. Myers ;
“run for a doctor, quick.”
The first member of the family that ar
rived was a son of Mr. Myers, aged about
twelve years, to whom the father spoke,
and, shaking hands with him, told him to
be a good boy.
"While Myers had hold of Terrell the
latter kept endeavoring to draw his hand
from his overcoat pocket, where it had
remained during the difficulty. W hen the
two reached the stair landing tlie shot
was fired. Myers then ran to the outer
door, where he stood with clasped hands
over the wound.
Terrell, after the shooting,
MADE NO ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE.
He quietly walked into the adjoining
office, where he was arrested and convey
ed to jail. He appeared to be calm and
showed no signs of previous excitement.
Mr. Myers made an ante-mortmn state
ment.
Colonel Terrell bore the reputation of
a dangerous man,
and has been known for many years as
living at pistol point with mankind. Ho
always carried Derringers and a revolver
on his person, and was so armed when
stabbeda few weeksago in the abdomen by
a young ruffian named Francis, whose
father was shown up by Terrell in the
Covington department of the Commercial
as a peculator in office and also false to
his oath as a Justice of the Peace. Ter
rell had a very narrow escape for life at
the time, and has never fully recovered
from the effects of his wound. In fact,
it is the opinion of his surgeon that it is
merely healed over, and that the punc
ture of the stomach still remains ununited,
and may at any time tear open and de
stroy his life. He has not been able to
lie down for several weeks, and is obliged
to sleep in an aim chair. That affair has
had a tenable effect upon his mind, and
has induced a deeper indulgence in the
bottle, to which he was unfortunately ad
dicted.
It is claimed by Col. Ten-ell's friends
that Mr. Myers pursued such a course as
brought down the heavy hand of his an
tagonist. That is, while acting as attor
ney for Terrell’s wife, he constantly re
verted to a physical taint supposed to
exist in Terrell’s blood. Terrell told him
some time ago that he would hold him
personally responsible for a repetition of
the insult. Yet regardless of this, Myers
repeated it to-day in certain questions
while taking Terrell’s deposition in the
case.

MRS.
SOMERVILLE ON WOMAN’S
RIGHTS.
Sidney Smith has the credit of dis
covering that the best way for a critic
to avoid prejudice is to avoid reading
the book he is to criticise. The Satur
day Review is decidedly too sharp not to
see this, and its practice is well illustra
ted in its recent treatment of Mrs; Som
erville’s “Recollections." Summing up
the evidence of the work it says:—“The
last person to see in herself the genius
who was to assert woman's desecrated
rights, and win back from men their
usurped dominion of the reign of knowl
edge, she lent no countenance to those
of her sisterhood who shriek against the
conventional relations which are sup
posed to oppress them.” We need only
remind the reader of the following from
Mrs. Somerville’s own pen in her j “Recol
lections,” pp. 344-34G:—“Age has not
abated my zeal for the emancipation of
my sex from the unreasonable prejudice
too prevalent in Britain against a literary
and scientific education for women. The
British laws are adverse to women, and
we are deeply indebted to Mr. Stuart
Mill for daring to show their iniquity
and injustice. I have frequently signed
petitions to Parliament for the female
suffrage, and have the honor now to be
a member of the General Committee for
Women Soffing* w London”
