THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
SUNDAY, May 30, 1875.
Byron.
An effort is being made in England,
principally by the lead of Mr. Diskaku,
to start subscriptions for the purpose
of erecting a monument to Bmion,
whose tomb at Hucknall-Torkard
Church, in the county of Nottingham,
is in a shocking state of dilapidation.
Bybon, though a bad man, was no
worse than many others of the world’s
celebrities who sleep in the Abbey of
Westminister. Indeed, he was much
better than some of those who have
been laid to rest beneath the pavement
of the British Valhalla. But at the
death of the noble poet and translation
of his remains to London, an over
righteous sensitiveness on the part of
the Dean and Chapter barred the way
of his relics to repose beside a hetero
genous mass of infidels, assassins and
moral lepers, royal and untitled, who
crumble to dust within the Pantheon
of Albion’s Isle. Thokwalsden made
an exquisite statue of the author of
Clulde Harold, which laid among the
neglected and unclaimed rubbish of the
Custom House, until Cambridge Uni
versity lugged it from obscurity aud
placed it in one of its halls. We shall
watch the result of the present effort
to raise a monument to one, who, what
ever his errors, and they were many
and grievous, shall, in the words of
Macaulay, “perish ouly with the Eng
lish language.”
Apropos of this subject, can any one
of our readers inform us who was the
author of the following lines, referring
to Lord Bykon :
“And still the murmur of the Adrian sea
Shall blond with Tasso’ssoug wild thoughts
of thee;
'J'hy shade shall gloom through old Raven
na’s lair,
Till even the forest leaves seem stirred with
prayer.
And when the future, envious of the past,
Shall break the Arglve’s iron sleep at last,
Thy reverend name the Albanian youth
shall keep;
Thy shape shall haunt the lonian maiden’s
sleep;
Thy form shall linger by the Oread’s hill,
By Love’s own isle and Music’s ancient rill,
And one dim halo, all unknown before,
Gild the grey waste by Missolonghi’s
shore.”
The Use of Mosquitoes—An Unpleas
ant but Salutary Peat.
We had occasion, last week, to pre
sent the best scientific defense of the
house fly yet given to the world. If it
was not convincing, it at least caused
reflection upon the possibility of that
annoying insect being a necessary
spoke in the wheel of nature. And
now comes Dr. Samuel W. Francis, of
Boston, who takes up the cudgel not
against but for the mosquito Ac
cording to the Doctor, “ the genus culex
was created for the purpose of driving
man out of the malarial districts.—
Since, however, man is thickheaded,
and often won’t go when he is driven,
Providence has commissioned the
mosquito first to punish him for com
ing, and then to apply a prophylactic
in view of the malaria he must of ne
cessity inhale. That is to say she (for
it is only the female mosquito that
bites) hypodermically injects into the
wound a fluid which possesses the pro
perties of quinine.”
A critic of the learned Doctor says :
“ Let us not too closely examine the
correctness of the Doctor’s conclusions.
Rather let us as the season advances
drop off into dreamland, in the serene
consciousness that the song which lulls
us to sleep merely annouuces the pres
ence of a physician who furnishes his
own medicines, makes up his own pre
scriptions, and carries his bill away
with him.”
For our part, we shall make what
fight we can against malaria, under a
net, and give our city physicians of the
genus homo a chance to mako a living
—hitherto a very scanty one—out of
us. It is safe to say that if mankind
abandoned those regions where “ the
song of the mosquito is grace before
meat,” a large part of the world
would not be much civilized.
The fly has had his defender and the
mosquito his champion. Let some
pundit enter the lists as the Knight of
the Cockroach. When we shall be
come convinced that Col. C. Roach is a
blessing, Gabbifx can blow his trum
pet, for life would be without adequate
compensation.
Cruelty to Animals—The Human
Beast.
A few days ago we published a sick
ening account of the maltreatment of
a poor cow, and it may be believed that
no right-thinking man read that para
graph without feelings of horror kin
dled against the party or parties who
were guilty of such a crime. We be
lieve, in view of the atrocities com
mitted by men against their animals,
which have so long gone unpunished,
it was an inspiration from heaven itself
which suggested that merciful people
of both sexes should organize for the
protection of all useful and dependent
creatures.
Two examples have recently come to
our attention of the hardships suf-'
fered by horses and dogs. In Eng
land, not long ago, Lord Macdonald
was fined T 5 for ruthlessly castigating
his steed. He defended himself by de
claring that his horse was a most de
termined “jibber,” that is, a restless
shyer or backer. This plea did not
avail, and, as we learn from Our Dumb
Animals, the nobleman was thus re
plied to by Wm. Douglas, of the Royal
Hussars :
Lord Macdonald may not be aware that
jibbing is a vice distinctly due to the very
description of treatment he so lavishly be
stowed upon the poor horse in question.
He is, perhaps, equally ignorant of the fact
that flogging, or any other kind of ill-treat
ment, never cured a horse of jibbing, or,
for that matter, of any other vice. Horses,
of courses, have tempers as various as their
owners; but in other respects, possessing
intelligence, sagacity and gratefulness. I
believe their hearts would be found in many
instances as good as their masters. Self
preservation, again, is as natural to horses
as to ourselves; consequently, one that has
been ill-used from any cause whatever, sel
dom, if ever, forgets it; and Lord Pem
broke's remark, made a hundred years ago,
that “whenever you aee a man beati,tg any
animal, you will always find that the man is in
the wrong and the animal in the right, applies
as well at the present day as then. It will
be seen that beating has never proved a re
formatory process. Besides, it should be
remembered that a horse often jibs from
weakness or overwork; and to flog a li -rse
suffering from such a cause is, to say the
least, a most brutal thing. I can conscien
tiously assert that during a lifetime of now
nearly fifty years, three-fourths of which I
have had to do with horses, 1 have never
known the most vicious animal but was amen
able to kindness; while, on the other hand,
I have known hundreds of horses to be
ruined by brutal treatment. I cannot bet
ter conclude this letter than by quoting
a passage from Lord Pembroke’s book on
horsemanship, which reads as follows;
“Whenever a horse makes resistance one
ought, before a remody or correction is
thought of, to examine very minutely all
the tackle about him, if anything hurts or
tickles him, whether he has any natural or
accidental weakness, or, in short, the least
impediment in any part. For want of this
precaution, and previous inspection many
fatal and often irreparable disasters hap
pen. The poor dumb animal is frequently
accused of being restive and vicious, and is
ill-used without reason. . . . ’Tis very
seldom the case that a horse Is really and
by nature vicious.
The above sound and sensible advice
will apply with equal force to many
hundreds of persons as well as it ap
plied to Lord Macdonald. No doubt
much of the cruelty practiced upon
animals is due more to ignorance than
ferocity on the part or their owners.
It is, therefore, necessary that this de
structive ignorance should be enlight
ened, and God bless, say we, the noble
men aud women who are banded to
gether for the purpose of adding some
what to human knowledge and also to
human charity!
From a late publication of Lord
Bouthe.sk of his adventures in the
Rocky Mountains, we extract the fol
lowing spirited uccount of one of the
chief modes of transportation in tho
remote Northwest, and how faithful
and necessary animals are doomed to
the most savage barbarities. He thus
writes ;
“My team consists of three middle-sized
Indian dogs, sharp-nosed, bushy-haired,
and wolfish. Ohocolat, the leader, is dark
red; Casse-toute, gray, shaded with black;
and Fox, reddish fawn-eolor, The driver
is a peculiarly smart and active man. Ho
can run for miles behind the cariole, while
the dogs are galloping, encouraging them
all the time with a mixture of English,
French and Indian; (Vociferously): ‘Fox!
Fox! ah, crapaud Fox!’ (Screamingly);
‘Faux! sactedemon!’ (Warningly): ‘Fox,
ye ould sinner, pren’garde; crapaud that
ye aire.’ (Surprised): ‘Ohocolat!’ (Very
distinctly and syllabically): ‘Choe-o-lat—
michastim! —Yeu-oh! yeu-oh!’ Ito the
right); ‘cha! cha!’ Ito the left). (Paren
thetically): ‘Ah, Chocolat, you weell
catch it presently.’ (Indignantly and
suddenly): ‘Casse-toute! all, sal
au-prix!’ (Shriekingly:) ‘Casse-toute! !
(Contemptuously:) ‘Mauvais chlen!’ (De
spairingly, as if calling to a dog in the sky:)
Fox 1 Fox! Faux!’ Then a burst of unin
telligible Indian rough words, followed by
a hasty, furious shout to the whole team—
‘Fox! Casse-toute! Chocolat! ere demons!’
—under cover of which he rushes past the
cariole, shaking his whip, while the wretch
ed dogs dart from side to side in agonies
of fear, whining, squealing, and shrieking,
like a drove of distracted pigs. * * *
The driver is a man of more blows than
words, and at each departure one hears a
harsh voice cry out: ‘Survellon, marche!
Passe-paitout, marche!’ immediately an
swered by deep-toned yells from the cower
ing, crouching hounds; then comes a fearful
cracking aud thumping, and the poor beasts
at last set off with their heavy load, howl
ing as if their hearts would break.
The cruelty with which dogs are treated
here cannot be excused. Doubtless they are
often obstinate and provoking, and require
severe Hoggings—especially from anew
driver, till he. has brought his team into
subjection: but when one sees poor, help
less animals, who are undergoing extreme
labor in the trains, not merely beaten on
the body with heavy lashes, but systemat
ically flogged on the head till the'r ears
drip blood; and not merely this, but cud
geled with clubs, and knelt upon and
stamped upon till their howls turn to low
groans of agony—this, I say. is enough to
call down vengoauce on the land.
Disposed to be charitable even to the
inhuman driver, Lord Southesk in
clines to think that some chastisement
is essential for the subjugation and
training of the dogs ; but it may well
be urged that very likely a course of
kindness would accomplish much more
than a systematic and infernal course
of mutilation. Many of our people
have witnessed the performances of
dogs in a circus. It is true that the
master has a tiny whip, the symbol
of authority, but who ever saw him
use it in wrath ? On the contrary,
when his pets had gone through
their exercise, he fondly patted them,
using tones of voice, “sweet and low”
like Cordelia’s, and, when the size of
the animal permitted, took in his arms,
quitely caressed and even kissed
it. There are two methods of teaching
and managing animals. Which of them
think you is the correct one? Kindness
will work miracles with them, where
severity shall fail to get anything but
a slavish exercise of strength. We can
fancy that around the merciful man all
good spirits hover; and we should
hate to think that demons encamp
around the human brute. The Arab
of the Desert never calls in vain
upon his barb, when almost preternat
ural exertion is to be made; and the
reason of this, to a great degree, is be
cause next to his wife and children he
loves his steed and evinces affection by
a thousand delicate attentions. It is
well that all who own dumb animals
should think of these things and be
guided by their superior reason and not
by their lower passions. All who are
indisposed to kindness and not amena
ble to persuasive influences should be
dealt with rigorously by avenging law.
The Wretch. —The “ Roundabout ”
man of the Courier-Journal says, the
Sultan of Turkey has 500 wives and
yet he is not happy. If he were to
discharge the whole harem, and live
like a bachelor, he might be compara
tively contented.
On the Make. —The noble descendant
of Pocahontas who owns the site of the
Petersburg mine, which exploded under
Mahone’s brigade during the war,
charges 25 cents a head for all visitors
to that last ditch. Old Mahone him
self could not see it now for less than a
quarter.
Erie.— The collapse of the Erie Rail
way Company is simply the inevitable
result of fraud, chicanery and Ibad
faith. It only antedates a still more
atrocious swindle called Reconstruc
tion.
Gen. Lee.— Accepting the Presidency
of Washington College, Gen. R. E. Lee
wrote:
I think it the duty of every citizen, in the
present condition of the country, to do all
in his power to aid in the restoration or
peace and harmony, and in no way to op
pose the policy of the State or General
Government directed to that object. It is
particularly incumbent on those charged
with the instruction of the young to set
them an example of submission to au
thority.
When Gen. Lee became aware that
Reconstruction meant not the peace
and harmony of the country, but its
utter demoralization aud ruin, he let
bis heart break gradually. Lee in his
grave is more to be envied than Gbant
in his palace and Shebman in his turkey -
cock pride of place. Already the repu
tations of the Northern chiefs are suf
fering blight at each others’ hands,
while the fame of Lee brightens and
enlarges day by day.
“The Organ” on Sherman —General
Sherman’s Memoirs will serve no good
purpose so far as he is personally concern
ed. Tho answers and criticisms its publi
cation have provoked are very generally
based bpon the declaration that while he
commanded some of the best troops in our
armies he never won a battle except when
opposed by inferior numbers.— Washington
Republican.
Tne same may be said of every Federal
General. Tho contrary can be said of none
of them.— Richmond Dispatch.
After the Federal Generals are
through with their wrangling, the im
partial historian will sum up that, had
the South possessed the resources of
the North, the war would have been
settlod in six months.
—— , ,
Evakts. —According to Mr. Evarts,
Tilton’s attack on Beecher is not
against that gentleman but against
public morals. A Safe Deposit Com
pany is recommended for the security
of wives. In our opinion, without pro
nouncing special judgment against
plaintiff or defendant, wa think it safe
to say that both Beecher and Tilton
have done more to demoralize society
than any other two men now extant,
and the safest deposit for them is a lu
natic asylum.
Gov. Smith.— The Nashville Union
and American thinks Gov. Smith, by
reason of the late FisH-fry, is anxious
to be United States Senator. Our con
temporary does the Governor groat in
justice. He has, we presume, no other
ambition than a return to the practice
of law at Columbus, in this State. Hon.
Howell Cobb never could understand
how any man could run for Governor a
second time, and we dare say, for a few
years, at least, Gov. Smith will be glad
to lead a private life.
Flabbergasted. —According to Dr. H.
V. Redfield, the Mecklenburg Centen
nial sorely puzzled the North Carolina
negroes, because it apparently had
nothing to do with Grant, Lincoln, Lee,
’mancipation and “swivil rights.”
A Soft Thing.— Plymouth Church
has paid the New York Tribune already
SB,OOO for its verbatim report of the
Beecher trial. The Tribune recipro
cates by puffing Beecher and damning
Tilton.
Well Paid. —They say old Tecumseh
Sherman has been offered $60,000 for
the copyright of his memorial allspice.
“Bring on another horse !”
CENTENNIAL.
Tlie National Prospect—The South in
Council with the North.
) Baltimore Sun.)
The United States Centennial Com
mission, comprising representatives of
the different States, which has been in
session for several days in Phildelphia,
adjourned on Saturday, the proceed
ings having been of an interesting and
harmonious character throughout. In
response to a resolution that the dele
gates from each State be requested to
make known how the work was pro
gressing in their respective homes, a
number of short addresses were de
livered, the general purport of Avhich
was to the effect that the opposition, or
at least indifference, which had at first
been developed in some quarters
against the proposed centennial, was
rapidly disappearing under the broad
er spirit now manifested in the locality
where it is to be held, and that the dif
ferent sections were arranging for a
generous rivalry in the display
of their several products, which
would make the exhibition a
complete success and a credit to the
uation as a type of its progress in one
hundred years. The reports from the
Southern States were particularly grat
ifying. Mr. Bagwell, of Virginia, said
more interest had been manifested of
late than for some time, and he was
ready to pledge an appropriation by
the next Legislature. Mr. Boteler, of
West Virginia, hoped for a great deal
within a month, as a canvass of the
State was meditated, Mr. Albertson,
of North Carolina, pledged a full ex
hibition from his State, and said the
Mecklenburg Centennial would be a
key-note to the grand exposition. Mr.
Hillyer, of Georgia, said the organiza
tion of a superintending board had
been provided for in his State, and the
belief is increasing among the people
that it will be to their interest to
participate; an appropriation is
expected next winter. The par
ticipation of Mr. Hillyer in the
proceedings indicates that a preposter
ous requirement, which it is alleged
was first contemplated, that the mem
bers of the Commission should take a
“test oath” that scarcely any Southern
man could subscribe to, has been aban
doned. This alleged requirement of
the Commissioner thathe should swear
that he had “never voluntarily borne
arms against the United States, nor
given aid, counsel or encouragement
to persons so engaged, nor yielded a
voluntary support to any pretended
government, authority, power or con
stitution within the United States hos
tile or inimical thereto,” drew from
Gov. Smith, of Georgia, an indignant
protest addressed to Secretary of State
Fish, dated March 18,1974, more than
a year ago, though published for the first
time,we believe, lu the Augusta Chronicle
and Sentinel of Thursday last. It is
gratifying, however, to find in the Au
gusta Constitutionalist of Friday an ex
planation of the matter. That paper
learns from a gentleman, who asserts
he saw the whole correspondence, that
upon receiving Governor Smith’s letter
Secretary Fish promptly apologized
for sending the test oath to Georgia,
stating that it was a clerical mistake,
and then enclosed to the Governor a
modified oath, whicn was presented to
Major Hillyer, who took it without
hesitation.
Before adjourning the Commission
passed a resolution requesting Gen
Hawley, the President of the Commis
sion, to take up his residence in Phila
delphia, which he promised to do.
