•A Southern Editor’* Remniscences.
The Memphis Avalanche indulges in
the following bit of sentiment.
Late at night, while the fire nnd
lamps bura low and dim, we lay down
No. 10.039, VoL LXVIII, of the Na
tional Intelligencer, and lean back to
think, overcome by the many memories
which familiar caption calfs up. We
have read it constantly for thirty two
years, minns the four bitter years of
civil war, aud had the good fortune to
know its old editors, Joe Gales and
Wm. W. Seaton, both great and good
men, new numbered with the dead, but
of immortal memory.
“Not only of these princely gentle
men does the Intelligencer remind us,
but ot many, many another whom we
were fortunate in knowing, and whom
the country has lost —Webster and Clay
and Crittenden ; Dawson, the ‘Commo
dore,’ of Georgia, peerlees at the dinner
table. Rusk and Houston, Floyd, kind
est hearted of all living men ; that noble
gentleman, Butler, of South Carolina;
Prentiss, worthy to be called Chrysos
tom, golden-mouthed, and not only be
yond comparison the most eloquent,
but the most genial aud generous of
men ; large-hearted Tom Corwin ; Keith,
gallant and good; Badger, w ise beyond
other men, of admirable wit and always
enamored of the truth; Sevier and
Douglas, Clemens nnd Kuilman, with
many a dear old familiar face, of others
less known to fame and eveu more
beloved, crowd around us as we write;
the dead mingling with the living: Por
ter of the Spirit a.-d Inman the artist,
and glorious John Brougham, and Alex
ander Dimitry, large sonled as one of
Homer’s heroes and as wise is Plato;
Breckinridge and Bonham, Boyce and
Robert Johnson, four men ot like prince
ly natures; all these and many like
these we met at Washington in the
better times, when the Senate of the
United States met in the old Chamber,
and that city was the capital
the Northern and the Southern States.
“ Ehea, fvgace.i l how the years drift
away and we become garrulous, and
forget that the long list of names, and
the memories they call up, of ‘the re
fections of the gods’ and times gone
never to return, and scenes already dim
as I hey recede into the past, have in
terest for no one but ourself! Never
theless, it is written, it is a cry from the
heart. Let it stand. Thank God,
neither power nor malice can confiscate
and sell for coin to knaves the happy
or the sad mementoes of the past.”
Hard Times —We agree, says the
Griffin Star, with our able cotempo
rary of Columbus, that a great deal of
the hue and cry about hard times is
caused bv our extravagance. What has
become of the “homespun dress,” so
eloquently immortalized in song, during
the war? Where are those elegant jeans
we used to be so proud to get bold of ?
Both have gone ! and in thair place our
ladies are tricked out in the worthless
finery of New York, and the licentious
fashions of Paris. A miserable deform
ity in the shape of dead people’s hair,
horse hair and dog hair, is appended
to the head, once beautiful, but now
misshappen. Health destroying stays
cramp and disfigure the once beautiful
and lithe form. A half dozen yards of
costly silk is made to trail in the mud
in the rear of the full dressed lady,
where it performs the useful office of
sweeping from the side-walk old tobacco
chews, cigar stumps, dead rats, and
other garbage, by which the spotless
white spirit beneath soon bocomes of
the same color as the gutter, and never
bleaches white again. Costly machines
are purchased, by means of which the
lower garments are placed at the mercy
of every passing breeze, and those por
tions of the human form held sacred by
our grand mothers and mothers, become
food for the eyes of the libertine and the
graceless loafer.
The irresistible blush of modesty flies
the cheek, and the purchased blush of
commerce assumes its empire on the
once lovely face. All this costs money,
arid costs that which is more precious than
money. The husband and father groans
“hard times,” complains of “short
crops,” “dull trade,” ‘‘stagnation in bus
iness." etc. Nor is this extravagance
confined to the ladies. The economical
and comfortable jeans suit has given
wav to slop shop ready made clothing,
and to the finer pharaphranalia of the
merchant tailor; and worse than this,
the soul destroying body stimulants,
whiskey and tobacco, go pouring in
torrents down the throats of men. Even
in Griffin, one of the most moral places
in the State, at least ten times as much
is spent for whiskey and tobacco as for
preaching the Gospel, educating the
youth, supporting the municipal govern
ment, and for charity. Aud we have
an universal wail of hard times through
out the laud. Is it a wonder that Mie
times are hard ? Rather is it not a won
der that we are allowed to live at all ?
—During a revival in a church in
Alleghany, I’enn., on Tuesday night
two females happened to get into the
same pew, one of whom was a married
woburn, and who strongly suspected the
other with having alienated the affec
tions of her husband. Upon catching
a glimpse of the single female, she
sprang upon her, and a general hair
pulling and scratching followed. A
great commotion in the church ensued,
and the females were finally ejected.
—A writer of table talk in the Cu'ir
dian says that Allred Tennyson busy
on a poem, longer and on a grander
scale than his lust. The name of this
poem has been stated to bo “The Death
of Lucretius.”
The most cursory reader of the news
papers of the day must have noticed
that of late crime has fearfully increased
in the land. Like the Eastern scourge,
it appears to visit us in an epidemic
form. And what is more noticeable,
its ravages are not confined to any one
particular section, but appears to bp uni
versal in their sweep.
