Ihe Qmtntim smm. K. K. f'ILDES. Editor. J VV. ST. CLAIR, Associate Editor. QUITMAN, «80. FHIBAY, APRIL. 2. IMW. mJJB-'-L. FOR CONGRESS, HON. A. H. HANSEIL Novel Rending. Let not any reader who seen tire above caption tLink tl.ut we are going into the high moral on tbis subject; no, for wo own the aoft impeachment that we too, are novel readers. We do not propose to go. into tire his tory of the Novel, but a brief historical look into their origin, will doubtless prove of much interest to our many tea fieri!, and dl-rve to while away a tedious moment. The first novel of which we have any authentic account, is one written hy an old Roman writer, named Anlins Cellos, the title of which was the “Golden Ass,” Strange to any, though *wril ton in the clay when Rome was most corrupt, and when the language was neither written nor spoken in anything like its ancient purity, it is written in the very purest Latin, and abounds with startling.inci dent and striking illustrations of Roman manners. Then succeeded the black, funeral, pall of the middle ages; the night of igno rance, whose darkness was dispelled liy the clear rising sun of Buccacio’s ge nius. lloccacio’s Decameron is . ono of the few collections ot tales of the olden time that will survive the wreck of ages. Full of licentiousness, yet, full of beau ty; full of sneers at pretended piety, yet with a vein of humble religion running through the whole. Boccacio may well be called the prince of Italian Novelists. Down, down to the Inter times through a long succession of dull, dreary years, until we come to the humble, unpretend ing Novel of "Robinson Crusoe.” What hoy has not dwadt with delight over its fascinating pages? Who has not won dered what made that single foot print in the sand ? What boy liuh not pictur ed to himself an ideal island, and a sav nge, good in an Friday? Wo pity the hoy who has never rend Robinson" (It tr soe, the best written, the must vividly characterized Novel of its day. Then to Alts. Rftdclifie’s Novels. These like the Ghost in (Runlet, are for the most part, not of this earth. Depending, ns they do, upon .some supernatural ma chinery, thunder arid lightning, demons, clanking chains, halls of lire, rttindd cas tles, mysterious murders, and no plot, | Urey are the host sample of the crazy Novel, Then to Miss Rainey. She, the mod-, e»t little girl, never finding ' that she could write, until the great hearted, groat big man Dr. Johnson, patted her on the head, ami told ber in words of sweetest praise; "Why, my dear, you are a genius I’’ Her Novels are not much read now, but they ate full of in terest to the student who would fully know and understand tl.e manners and customs of “Merrio Eng'aml” in the days of Johnson Garrick and Burke. Another half century, and we come to the palmy days of Novel writing. Fi,-I ding and Smollett, two of the greatest names that adorn the History of Brig land, had now commenced their inimita ble descriptions of English life and Eng tish manners. Volnmft after volume rob ed from their p<*ns; works, which, though disfigured with too much that Would call a blush u> a lady’s cheek, yet, are writ ten with so much power, such a vivid knowledge of the human heart,-so pow «rful a command of language, that leav ing out their scandalous licentiousness, we are tempted to call tjhem the best Novels iit tbc English language. ‘"Jo seph Andrews,’ - "Tolu .Jones',” arid ".Jon sthan Wild” arc among the best tbat Fielding wrote. "Peregrine Pickle,” "Roderick Random,” “Adventures of Fer dinand Count Fathom,” and roany’olhei's are the solid basis upon which the fame of Smollett shall securely rest. But we must hasten on to the produc tions of the "Great Wizard of the North,” Sir Walter Scott. Scott, first trod tire paths of Metrical Romance, in which walk he prod, erd "Alarmion," “The Lady of the Lake,” "Lay of the Last Minstrel,” arid m»uy other pieces of decided inferior merit.— Then came bis first great work, which lie culled "Waverly, or Sixty Years Sineo." "As thick, as forest 1c ;ves in Vallambrosa,” fell his other Novels from the press. AH his works are too famil - iar to oor readers, to give any enurnc: a tion of them. Critics arc very much di vided in opinion as to which is bis best work. In our humble judgment, his "Ivauhoe” as a descriptive Novel, and his "Guv Ma mering” as" a powerful de lineation of Scottish manners, are deci dedly hie best works. AVe have left so little space for the. consideration of the Great M isters ol Fiction, in tr. <*. rn time-', that wc shall 'be compelled to close for this week. In-1 ! deed, what we commenced as a condcns j ed newspaper article, has swollen almost | | into the magnitude of an es.;ay. In our ! next issue we shall speak of Thackeray, | Dickens, Collins, Hawthorne, and Miss I Bronte; and wc hope that or,r readers . ;vv II pardon oh that we linger lovir, 'y * and reverent' over the pages at them 1 itufhoru who have written nothing that • would cause the most fastidious to blush and who have written nothing that j shoifldmot make us wiser and better men. A New Invention. \ This is certainly a progressive age; ; iho inv'irtive gr> ins of ii an is wondfer ; ful. Everyday new disenvet ies in the arts and sciences arc made—a'! of which | terra to the comfort conv< nie' ce and j happiness of the world. And weare do j lighted .to record the faet, that our own | little county of Brooks, >’s contributing; to those many wonderful discoveries'. } One day last’week Mr. W. S. Wattles ! called at our office, threw off Ida coat. 1 , and to’our utter astonishment, stood be j fore ns arrayed, not in mailed armor, ! but in a" harness arranged for carrying upon tin* batik an umbrella, to shield delicate man from the rays < f the sun I whilst engaged in plowing Mr. Watit.f --j manufactured the harness tor the invert ! tor, a planter of Brooks. It "consists of jan iron pouch securely ’ashed t > the j hack by numerous straps buckled tight- ! ‘ ly about the body; the pouch receives, ; the handle, and the umbrella is held se.j etirclv over the head of the plowman ! Ibis discovery is in its infancy, and doubtless Quprovcments will lie made up on it; in fact we have .already heard of suggestions, vvnieh would he of benefit J —the most important one being advunc j ed by ono of our oldest, most respected j and successful planters. The inventor ! of this wonderful contrivance, it is pre i smned, will secure a patent at an early. !" day. | Some of our citizens, however, are dis ! posed to ridicule this innovation upon ! the old custom of farmers—that of bid j ding de fill nee to the warm rays of the | sun; they Bay that it is a lazy man's con | trivahcc, and use ;many other harsh and ungenerous remarks in reference to it I Now, we think this is wrong'; the inven j tor, doubtless, spent many days of pa tient drought arid experiment before lie i reached the goal of Iris ambition, and to ! be ridiculed by those who cannot appre the importance of his wonderful dis l oovery, is too bad . j A mischievous friend at our elbow ■ suggests that it would not he a bad idea jto Yu, "nisli cattle umbrellas whilst they vie grazing. He says liie warm sun | has a tendency to change the original color of their hides. This, wo think, slanderous of those who ghalbpjotr the '’"Plowing Umbwellas,”for it is an intuna tion that they are afraid of having their skins tanned by exposure to the sun.— In conclusion, wo suggest that tie "Brooks County Agricultural Society. - take into eons' i niioir this new and won derful invention. Let Justice be Done. We would call the atteutiou of the ' editor of the Live Oak (Fla.) Advertiser, ami our Savanusb cotcrnporaides who' copied from sat'd piper, to llie injustice done to one of the citizens of Brooks enemy. We know that the correspondent, who ftl'nis ed the pirnienlai s ill ref re nee to I the capture of the negro who lundered Mi. Bell, ol Hamilton C in ly. Florida, by Mi- Wilson, ol Brooks, was entirety m uniformed. Mr. Wilson ‘captured the negro, and brought him to Quitman to be put in ja | here, but t e prison was not thought to be safe, and be wont with ; him, or sent him hack to Jasper, Florida. As to tla> negro "loitering” or being “harbored” about Mr, Wils n’s place, dl vvJio know him, are satisfied that he is in capable ol doing anything to defeat the i nds of justice; and no man in our coil ty would more w llingty d-vote Ins time and labor to the maintenance ol g#<>d order, aird t i the just execution of the laws. We hope that the Live Oak Advertiser arid other journals which gave eircu a tion to the offensive paragraph referred to, will make th. ‘amende honorable. The Second .Meetins The second meeting of tlie “Brooks County Agricultural Society,” was lu id in this place ou Saturday last, and, we regret to say. that the meeting was but sliinly attended* Numbers of our Merchants arc engag ed hr agricultural pursuits; they also depend in a gr eat n , mire for their prosperity upon the Success of the plan ter, yet, we do not see their names ou the roll, nor yet, their familiar faces at the meetings of the Society. Can it bo rmssible that an organization of such i . estimable benefit to our County is to be allowed to languish, aud to die for the want of the proper interest? We hope not; and we still further hope that by the next Meeting, to be able to publish the names t>f every man in Quitman, and of every man in Brooks County who takes an iutercst in planting, as belong ing to the "Brooks County Agricu’turaJ ICOUMI STK'ATKD.J Brooks County, March 29, 18G9.
