fourteen years old, and ilived with

that the negrb was an employe of
Wells at his saw mill, and was re
proved by the latter for being late In
getting to work. This brought on a
difficulty, during which the parties

Eatonton Messenger : On Wednes
day night, at about 9 :30 o'clock, a
difficulty arose between Messrs. J. N.
Lenard and F. R. Pelot, resulting in
the shooting of the latter by Mr,
Leonard. Mr. Pelot bad just coins
from prayer meeting to Anderson's
hotel, where be boards, and stopped
on the veranda a moment to speak to
Major Anderson. Mr. Leonard, who
was on the veranda, and wAo Was
under the influence of drink Joined in
the conversation, and finally used
abusive language concerning Mr.
Pelot, which was in a manner re
sented, leading to adiffioulty.in which
Mr. Pelot bad his coat slightly cut by
a koife in the hand of his antagonist,
and Mr. Leonard received
some rather severe cuts in
the bead from a stick. At
this point Mr. Leonard drew his pis
tol and fired, the ball taking effect
in the right thigh of Mr. Pelot, near
the upper joint, and passing entirely
through it. The combatants were
here parted by outsiders, and the
difficulty ended. The wound of Mr.
Pelot is only a flesh one. A Messen
ger reporter called upon him and
found him in quite a comfortable
condition. The ball appears to have
been a medium sised one, and the
limb Is cot much swollen, or very
painful. Mr. Pelot apprehends only
a few weeks confinement bo bis room.
Mr. Leonard was arrested at 3 o’clock
Wednesday night, for assault with
intent to murder, aud gave bond of
SSOO for hts appearance at commit
ment trial, Mr. C. D. Leonard secu

er, and did not put in an appearance
when the case was called Thursday
morning.

IMATANTR JO It BEAUIS6 NOVBI/M
CREATED AND FOMTKRED BY
pim.ir LiRRAKiKwr
This is a pertinent inquiry, and it
should be intelligently answered.
It cannot he denied thatthe character
' of the books that the young and
t rising generation read will be
• felt in the future lives of our sons and
daughters, and therefore nothing
should be done by Library trustees
to give them a hurtful direction.
. The following from the New York
Sun, will clearly show what class] of
' books is most used by the patrons of
1 the public Libraries of Nqw York and
’ Boston.
The last report of the Boston Pub
‘ lio Library, the largest circulating
1 Itbaaay in the world, shows that the
1 number Os volumes taken from Its
1 shelves was less in 1880 than the year
1 before by nearly one hundred thous
and. The total was 1,150,731 in 1879,
and-1,065,081 in 1880.
A similar decline in the - demand
for their books has been shown by
our groat public libraries generally
sinoe the revival of business. Peo
ple have fewer Idle hours to spend in
reading than In the years when trade
was dull. About three-quarters of
the volumes sought are at all times
works of fiction, and perhaps in
prosperous days, because there Is
more money to lay out on other
forms of amusement, there is less de
sire to find diversion In the reading
of novels. The great cheapness of
the reprinted foreign fiction of late
years, however, probably has more
to do with the decline in the de
mand for the bound novels in the
libraries. The story desired cannot
always be bad there at once by the
applicant, whereas for ten or fifteen
cents it oan now be bought outright
whenever it is wanted.
But the chief cause of the decreas
ed circulation of the volumes In the
Boston Public Library, now 375,397
In number. Is not the dullness of the
times, nor is It the cheapness of
purchasable fiction. It is the fail
ure of the trustees to keep up the
supply of stories and juveniles, as
they are called, of the sort most de
manded by the boys and girls of
Boston. During the last two or
three years unusual rare has been
taken In weeding out objectionable
literature of this kind from the libra
ry, and in scrutinizing the new
stories sent out by the publishers.
For Instance, 560 more books of Ac
tion were condemned last years than
were replaced by now, and 215 vol
umes besides were tiansferred to the
duplicate room, and no longer circu
lated. The purpose seems to be to
gradually get rid of the most trashy
stories on band, and meantime to
exerolse great precautions to pre
vent the purchase of unwholesom
fiction.
The consequence is that the boys
and girls go away from the lidrary
dissatisfied. They want just the
class of books rejected by the cen
sors, and the more lucid and exelt.
ing the stories the better they suit
their tastes. Any diminution in the
proportion of fiotlon, we are told by
the trusteesß, especially of that re
cently printed, Is eure to be followed
by a similar withdrawal of the pat
rons of the shelves. The chief do
mand at the Boston Library Is not
only for novels, but also for fresh
ones, just as it Is everywhere else.
Accordingly, wo find that more than
one-half of the decreased circulation
shown n the report has been due to
th« diminished call for the books
in the hall where novels and juve
niles are specially placed, and whore
efforts have beon made to weed out
trash and prevent the admittance of
a new supply of It. The Boston boys
and girls miss their wonted and
higMy seasoned literary pabulum.
Yet a portion of the Boston people
are still dissatisfied because their
Yublio Library, the best of the city,
provides so great a supply of fiction.
One of the assailants of the institu
tion on this account gave a list of
about a dozen novelists whose works
even now find a place on its shelves,
and whom he regards as dangerous
and Immoral writers. And yet,
with two or three exceptions, they
are all novelists who enjoy the favor
of novel readers generally, and of
men and women who would not
think of having objectionable litera.
ture in their houses. For instance,
among the writers he would taboo
are Rhoda Broughton, Annie Thom
as, Annie Edwards, and Floreuoe
Marryat. Yet tbelr books are In the
bands of moat of our girls; and if
they are unfit for circulation, then
Dine in ten of the English novels
written nowadays, and sent out
among the people by our most re
putable publishers, ought to be put
under the ban. Any charge which
would stand against thorn would
equally affect nearly all current fic
tion, of whioh they are a fair sample ;
and someot them rack among the
better class of it, both in a moral
and an artistic sense. Nor can the
stories of Mr. Edmond Yates, an
other of the novelists he names, be
specially selected for condemnation
with entire justioe. It is true he is a
vary coarse and vulgar writer, with
out the capacity tor constructing
more than a tawdry story, with
cheap and mean sensational effects.
Yet, morally, Mr. Yates's novels are
not exceptionally harmful. Their
vile literary style ought certainly to
condemn them; but a public library
cannot be expected to sit in Judg
ment on the mere literary workman
ship of books.
The oommlttee of the citizens of
Boston who examined into the con
dition of the Fublia Library were
therefore right treating the charges,
so far as these authors are oonoern
1 ed, as too general to be seriously
considered. Either their books must
be kept on hand, or notblog but a
small body of standard fiction, and
, that the work of a very few writers
, can reasonably be furnished to read
: era. And if that wholesale exclusion
tabes place, then the Boston Pub-
* 11c Library will lose perhaps three
quarters of its public.
The truth is, and their directors
1 may as well acknowledge It at once, a
• public circulating library In our time
r must be chiefly an institution for
gratifying the public appetite for
5 fiction. The more novels It has, and
1 the more ceDStant its supply of fresh
! ones, the greater will be the number
1 of those who avail themselves of its
■ prlvlllges. The sharper its scrutiny
j of the stories it puts upon Us shelves,
; and the narrower its judgment of
■ fiction, the more steadily will its
1 popularity decrease. Whether it Is
worth while to endow free libraries
for this purpose of sending out fle
: tion is another matter.

I THE APPROACHING CHISI*.
Can anything be sadder to the
friends of President Garfield than to
witness the slowly but surely gather
ing shadows about his couch? Each
day foretells of ihe nearer approach
of that terrible crisis that fifty mill
ions of people have recently been
taught to regard as almost a certain
ty. The official bulletins that are
sent from the sick chamber are now
each fuller than the preceding one,
of the deeply seated rears that are
settling In the minds of the attend
ing surgeons. The coloring of hope
whioh has in the past been profusely
used, and which seemed to mislead
the public, is scarcely visible in the
later report, and all looks dark and
gloomy. But whatever the event and
however near the finality, the people
of this country will meot it as it
should be met, with fortitude, cour
age and Intelligence.
A couple or young libei tines at New
Haven, Connecticut, named Malloy,
flod themselves in prison, with a
troublesome wrestle with tlteiawin
prospect, in ooDsequonee of the part
they played In the hist scenes of the
llfe.it not in the death, of Jennie
Cramer, a bsautifui girl of that town.
They are shown to boa heartlees pair
of debauches, and deserve a grade of
punishment it is feared they will not
receive.
