FIGHTING AGAINST FATE; —OK, ALONE IN TIIE WORLD. 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 scribe 1 ns a “long-haired, emotional Alexander tossing on her pillow, because there are new hearts to conquer which she has not yet sub dued.’ The Loves of Hans Andersen.—Hans Ander sen was never married: but it is not generally known that his life had one grand passion his love for -Jenny Lind.

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 ally, “I thank yon for your kindness, but I assure you I don't want to marry.” x does not forbid such an indelicate and imrnod- m, . . ., . est course, would hardly be benefited by any The strongest passion of his life (outside of advice or protest we m j ght offer .

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. * ual labor.

She divorced herself from her first husband, and gave him her bless ing and a handsome sum of money.
