EDGAR ALLEN POE.
A Memorial Volume. By Sara Sigournet Rice. Balti.
more: Turnbull Brothers. 1877.
It has not often happened that I have found my.
self so enthralled by a book that I have been un
able to lay it down until I have read from the first
to the very last word; but it has been certainly so
with this Memorial Volume to Edgar A. Poe.
The book is a perfect gem ; as to its entire get
u p—it is exquisitely bound, of excellent clear type,
and fine paper, and is embellished with a good
likeness of the Poet, several engravings and with
the rather unusual and very interesting addition
of fac-simile letters from the well-known writers
of the day, Tennyson, Longfellow, Swinburne
Whittier, and others. It is a pleasure to hold in
the hand merely to glance over, so tasty a speci
men of the publisher’s art. And as to the con
tents—my hours of steady perusal testify to their
interest. But this is not all. We are not only in
terested by the sketches given of the life, the strug
gles and sufferings of one of America’s greatest
geniuses, and by the account of the ceremonies on
the occasion of the dedication of a monument to
his memory, but our eyes fill and our hearts swell
as we feel that at last at last the load of undeserved
obloquy has been lifted from his name; and his de-
famers silenced, while the tributes of appreciation
of his rare genius and of sympathy for his sad life
and untimely end have been ollered to his memo
ry by the great spirits of England, France, Spain
and Germany, as well as of his native land. In ail
ages, there have been noble minds who have been
tortured through life nnd crushed at last by cruel
criticism nnd vile slanders, but Edgar A. Poe has
the pre-eminence in such martyrdom. He was
persecuted with diabolical ingenuity, during life,
his dearly loved wife was hurried into her grave
by anonymous letters, and his papers and manu
scripts were given into the hands of his bitterest
enemy, who, under the garb of friendship became
his biographer and editor. So, while this friend
gave to the world an edition of Poe’s work’s, with
refined malice he attached thereto a memoir, in
which while he pretends to excuse, he vilifies, nnd
invents the most insidious lies to sustain the col
oring he wishes to give. Thus pursuing his victim
even beyond the grave with unrelenting ma
lignity, for wherever Poe’s wonderful tales and
“weird” poems find their way, side by side are
the malicious inventions, nnd the excuses which
damn with their paltry sophisms.
We can well apply here the words of another
most unhappy poet:
THE WICKED WORLD.
Oscar Hudson, colored, of Jersey city, N. J.,
in a fit of jealousy, seized his colored mistress,
Martha Shuttle, threw her across a stove, and
poured a kettle of hot water over her body. He
then beat her dreadfully, and again placed her
on the stove. Her injuries, of course, were fatal.
Hudson was arrested.
It has just transpired that Jacob Behene, a
young well-to-do farmer, living in Columbia
county, 111., some dozen miles from this city,
who died very suddenly New Year’s Day, was
poisoned by his wife, whom he married two
years ago, and with whom he lived unhappily.
Mrs. Behene is under arrest, and much excite
ment prevails in the community.
A Western newspaper has the following no
tice: “ All notices of marriage where no bride
cake is sent will be set up in small type and
poked in an outlandish corner of the paper.
Where a handsome piece of cake is sent, the
notice will be put conspicuously in large letters;
when gloves or other bridal favors are added, a
piece of illustrative poetry will be given in ad
dition. When, however, the editor attends the
ceremony in person, and kisses the bride, it
will have special notice—very large type and the
most appropriate poetry than can be begged,
borrowed or stolen.,’
“ ’Twas thine own genius gave tlic final blow
And helped to plant the wound that laid thee low.
So the struck eagle, stretched upon the plane
No more through rolling clouds to soar again,
View’d his own feather on the fatal dart,
And winged the shaft that quivered in his heart.”
While we owe to the mother country many and
constantly renewed benefits, she has given us none
more grateful to true hearts than the glorious vin
dication of I’oe’s memory by John II. Ingram, for
it has been left to an Englishman to unmask the
pretended friend and false biographer and to re
fute with all powerful truth his abominable cal
umnies. 1 trust that Mr. Ingram’s name may be
gratefully remembered wherever Edgar Poe is I
known. And that booksellers and readers will
show their practical appreciation of the truth, by
refusing to sell or read any edition which bears
the viper’s sting of Poe’s former biographer.
If it be well to aid the living it is a glorious
privilege to honor the noble dead. Miss Sara
Sigourney Bice and her able assistants have
honored themselves and their country by their ef
forts to raise a monument to Poe’s memory. We
are most happy to record the entire success oftheir
labor of love. Of this charming Memorial Yol-
lume we can only add, it is worthy of the genius '
who “spared no pains in considering, designing
and elaborating with the highest and most minute
finishing almost every subject he adopted.”

Glittering Misery in Wash inton—A recenj
Washington letter says: "The life of a statesman’s
wife at the capital is not strewn with flowers. I
was returning from the opera, and a friend sud
denly twitched my elbow. ‘ Come here,’ he
whispered, ‘and I will show’you something.’ It
was a hack drawn up near the curb, the driver
and horses of which seemed asleep. ‘ Well ?’ I
asked. ‘ That hack,’ continued my friend in an
undertone, ‘holds Mrs. . She comes here
every night, almost, to wait for her husband,
who is in the hall yonder, drinking and gam
bling. She waits here hour after hour, and
meeting him, takes him home without a word of
reproach.’ ”
Brutal Murder of a Woman by a Drunken
Printer.—At 3Ii‘2 south Delaware street, Indian
apolis, Frank Olden, a printer, shot and in
stantly killed Caroline Pfeifer, wife of William
Pfeifer, who resides at that number. Olden was
an occasional boarder at the house of Pfeifer,
and members of the family can assign no cause
for the murder. The pistol was aimed at the
woman’s head, and snapped four times before
it discharged, when the ball took effect in the
left temple, blowing the victim’s brains out. j
The murderer was found at his lodgings soon
after in bed, and was placed under arrest. He
was in an intoxicated condition, and gave no
reason for the killing further than that he had
been mistreated by Mrs. I’feif'er. Another woman
he said had also mistreated him, and would
share the same fate.
A Southern Cotton Planter.
Gentlemen, you talk to me about not
plantingso much cotton. Now,sirs, I have
been planting it all my life, and expect
to continue to do so. Why, sirs, what
would I do for sugar and collee, and shoes
anti clothing tor myself and family, if it
was not for my cotton crop ?

tleman to remove his gloves and overcoat before entering
the parlor of a young lady with whom he lias an engage- I
ment to go to church ? . ". . That depends, George, upon j
the circumstances. If it he time to start, you should not !
pull them oil'; hut if there is even a little time to spare, !
yon should not enter the parlor with them on.
A Subscriber asks: "Is it proper for a young gentleman
to call on a young lady repeatedly when she lias a lady \
friend visiting her, snd not call for that friend, when he
has no serious intentions ?” . . . Under those circum- j
stances, you should call for the visiting young lady as an ;
act of courtesy to her and a matter of duty to the family
she is visiting, if you are a welcome visitor to that family, i

MaryC., of Charlotte. N. (.. writes to know the finest
j and most expensive temple, palace or public building
j reared in ancient history ? . . . The temples of Egypt,
! Babylon, Ephesus, Athens and Rome were many of them
: magnificent. If history is to be believed, we" presume
! that Solomon’s Temple was the rarest work of art. if ex-
! pense means anything. The grand total cost of this tem
ple is estimated at $87,212,152,000. The vessels of gold
; consecrated was estimated by Josephus at 110 000 talents, |
which, according to Chapel's reduction, is equal to 82.-
726,18!,0n0: the silver at $2,440,720,000. Solomon bestow- |

T. F. G., of Norfolk. Ya., thinks the men of the present
day do not live as long as did those of tile revolution, and
wants to know what we think about it ? . . . We are \
inclined to the opinion that our old fathers had a hotter
physical make-up than wc of the present. They were not j
so luxurious as we are. The first ten of our Presidents
averaged 77.8 years of life. The next seven averaged 04.7
years. Facts as to Presidents favor our old fathers.
Southern Society Movements.
A Romantic Marriage.— December 15th, Mr.
IV. II. Venable, of Atlanta, was married to Miss
Sallie Miller, of Lagrange. The ceremony was per
formed at 1’once De Leon Springs, Atlanta, while
the couple were upon horseback. No one was pres
ent save the brother of the bride, the minister nnd
a photographer, who took their photographs while
they were sitting upon their steeds. This romance
was not found out until the 2d instant, and the
happy coupie did not live together until a few days
ago. They passed through the city last night on
a bridal tour to Florida. Two or three young gen
tlemen of the city were to meet them last night at
the depot. We congratulate the groom upon hav
ing won so worthy a lady, nnd wish that their lives
may always be one as rdeasnnt as an evening ride
upon “horseback.”—Columbus Enquirer.
Marriage of a Lynciiburgeb.—The Richmond
Whiff of yesterday contains a long account of the
marriage of Mr. Max Guggenheimer, of this city,
and Miss Rosenbaum, of that city. The Whiff says :
“The Eleventh-street Synagogue last night was
the scene of a brilliant gathering of ladies nnd gen
tlemen on the occasion of the nuptials of Mr. Max
Guggenheimer, of Lynchburg, and Miss Bertha
Rosenbaum, daughter of Mr. S. Rosenbaum, of this
city. The sacred edifice was packed long before
the hour appointed for the ceremonies. Not only
was the Israelitish element of Richmond fully rep
resented, but hundreds of tlieGentile friends of the
bride s father and of the bridegroom were present.
At half-past seven the bridal procession was
heralded by the blast of a trumpet from the gallery,
and then the happy pair preceded by several
couples of bridesmaids and groomsmen, moved
down the aisle as Kessnich’s orchestra played
Mendelsshon’s wedding march. Of course the ob
served of all observers was the bride. She was a
brunette, young and beautiful, and was arrayed in
a robe of elegant white brocade satin, with a white
veil falling from her head over her costume.
The groom was of handsome bearing, and is about
thirty years of age. The pair ascended the dais in
front of the altar, accompanied by the parents of
each. The ceremony, which was of a very impos
ing character, was performed by Dr. Renj. Szold,
a rabbi of Baltimore, who officiated at the request
of Mr. Gueggenbeimer.
After the address a bendiction in the Hebrew
language was recited, when a goblet of wine was
handed by the rabbi to the couple, out of which
they drank. Then the bridegroom placed the wed
ding ring on the finger of the right hand of his
bride, saying : “Be thou betrothed untome by this
ring according to the law of Moses in Israel.”
After this the couple drank again out of another
goblet handed to them. Then the rabbi declared
the married couple as husband and wife, the cere
mony having been performed according to the laws
cf religion and this State. He concluded with the
priestly benediction.
The wedding guests repaired to the Exchange
Hotel, where the reception was held. At 11
o’clock several hundred ladies and gentleman sat
down to an elegant supper, after which dancing
was engaged in until a late hour.
There were in attendance many prominent Is
raelites from New York and Baltimore.

A dissipated young man of Missouri, J. H.
Brown, was forbidden by the parents of Miss
Emma Jared to visit her. He went to town,
bought him a pistol, a butcher-knife and a
quart of whisky, and going to Jared’s house, he
quietly approached the family room, and throw
ing open the door, stood with his knife in one
hand, his pistol in the other, and enough of the
whisky in him to make him a demon. When
informed that Mr.JJared, for whom he inquired,
was from home, he entered the room, ordered
all out but the young lady he professed to love,
and said: “Emma, you and I must die here !”
She screamed and ran, but he shot her dead,
and then himself. He died with his pistol
clenched in his hand, his knife under him, and
his empty bottle in his pocket.
A Woman Who Wanted Damages for Being
Kissed.—An amusing case was tried before Judge
Hulett in the County Court Friday morning.
The plaintiff was Mary Schaup, who resides on
Gibbs street; the defendant was Adam Most,
who, like his ancient ancestor of the same name,
is a gardener by trade. He resides on Bay street.
It appears that one day Mrs. Schaup was in the
house of a neighbor named Mrs. Stehle, when
Most entered. After feeling a while with some
lettuce which was in the house, and being in a
somewhat frisky mood, he seized Mrs. Schaup
(so she says), and though somewhat hindered
by a game leg, waltzed her around two or three
times and then k’ssed her—yes, actually kissed
her twice ! For taking this liberty she now sues
lor damage. Judge Chnmasero advocated her
case with his usual eloquence, while Mr. Stull,
who oppeared for the defendant, made some
quotations about the “manthat layeth his hand
on a woman,” which he said was from Shak-
speare, but which Mr. Chumasero said was
from Cowper, while the Judge thought it was
from the Bible. All this about a couple of
stolen kisses. The jury returned a verdict for
the defendant.—Rochester ( X. Y.) Express.

DRAMATIC NOTES.
Edwin Booth is drawing large audiences at the
Lyceum Theater, in New York City.
Dan ltice has commenced a tour through Miss
issippi with his trained animals.
“The Black Crook” has been withdrawn from the
stage of the New York Grand Opera House, after
seventeen performances.
The Dramatic News says that a formal separa
tion has been arranged between Kate Claxtou, the
actress and her husband.
Celia Logan says there are nearly one thousand
ballet girls idle in New York, and if their pas
won’t support them their mas must.
Mr. John T. Ford has purchased the exclusive
right to “Tom Cobb,” for Washington and Balti
more, from Samuel French & Son.
T. W. Davy and Joseph Brooks, managers of the
Nashville and Memphis Theatres, have sued Clara
Louise Kellogg and her manager, to recover $1,-
000, alleged to be due by a failure of their song
stress to carry out a contract to sing four nights at
the Memphis Theatre last week.
While Barry Sullivan, the renowned tragedian,
was playing “Richard the Third” at the Drury
Lane Theater in London, recently, he fell, when
it was discovered that the sword point of “Rich
mond” had struck Mr. Sullivan’s cheek, severely
lacerating it, and threatening the destruction of
his eye, that calamity being fortunately averted by
the fact that the end of the weapon was broad, in
stead of pointed.
Madame Nilsson’s next visit will be to Holland,
under the direction of Herr Ullman, if indeed, she
is not already there. She contemplated operatic
performances in Vienna during the present month,
and she will sing in German at the Imperial Opera
House, in the “Huguenots,” “Lohengrin,”
“Faust,” “Mignon” and “Hamlet.”
Kate B., of Tnlbotton, desires to know if it is right
and proper, after an engagement, for the girl to break off
her engagement should she find ont that her lover was
given to a vice or bad habit she did not know. Should
she try to win him from it as a wife, or break off the en
gagement and run no risk ? . . . We would say, bet
ter to break off the engagement and be honest and candid
about it. Make bad habits good cause, and etick to it;
that is the way to reform and impress men.
“Peter S., of Greenesboro, asks if the expression,
“ he's a brick,” is a slang phrase or an historical expres
sion. ... It is both, we think, but we will give you
the historical account of the expression. It is said that
when Agcsilans was king of Sparta, a stranger visited the
city. lie called to see the king, and remarked that lie saw
no walls around the city. Agesilans told liim he would
show him the walls, and took him to the encampment of
the Lacedemonians, and pointing to his army, said:
“ There you see the walls of Sparta, and every man is a
brick.”
My dear Miss Nannie :
The great love I have hitherto expressed for you
is false, and I find my indifference towards you
increases daily. The more I see of you. the more
you appear in my eyes an object of contempt.
I feel myself every way disposed and determined
to bate you. Believe me, 1 bad no intention
to offer you my hand. Our last conversation has
left a tedious insipidity which has by no means
given me the most exalted ideas of your character;
your temper would make me very unhappy,
and if we were united. I should experience but
the haired of my friends and the everlasting dis
pleasure in living with you. I have a heart
to bestow, but I do not desire you to imagine it
at your service. 1 could give it to no one more
inconsistent and capricious than yourself,and less
capable of doing honor to my choice and family.
Miss Nannie, I hope you will be persuaded that
I speak sincerely, and you will do me a favor by
avoiding me, and excuse taking the trouble of
answering this. Your letters are always full of
impertinence, and you have not a shadow of
wit and good sense. Adieu, adieu ! Believe me
to assure you that it is impossible for me ever
to be your affectionate friend and humble servant,
Alfred W .
Mr. Editor,—The above was received a short time
since by a young lady in Richmond. Virginia, who, by
reading every other line, discovered that her lover wae de
cidedly more loving than his letter at first indicated. This
method of keeping the old folks in the dark as to the true
state of affairs will doubtless be adopted in the futnre by
many of the young folks who experience difficulty in
bringing mama and papa into measures.
