Our pencil is not coated with sugar, nor ok we addicted to the habit of coqueting with men of stern qualities and of great value to a county or community, but we wish to caustically remark without any seeming sarcasm toward men who are or pretend to be equally as public-spirited, that a few more such men in the world as the lion, John P. Jacotvay would not dam age the couutry, and especially this immediate section. The Birmingham disturbance has about leached a peaceful ter mination after ten men have lost their lives and a great many others Wounded at the hands of the great stand-by of the law, Shorifi Smith and his possee.in their efforts to defend from mob law a man who deserves hot to live one day longer than justice could be meted out to him, Mr Mike Allison, Who met with such an unfortunate and deplora ble accident at South Pittsburg, is slowlv improving.

The name of it is The Folly of 131; ekeyed NeU— Thu Second Daughter Tho Ur nett FI rt. Replying to tins long neglected letter, I would say briefly, yet succinctly and even tersely, that much could depend upon the eizc of a book. Tuere is a tremendous call this season for an eight-ounce book, with email flecks of flowers on it. Can you write such a tiedk? Cah roll write a book full c l intnli-.d and expressed pa sion? Can you churn up the great depths of human nature and shorten tho longing which one nay have for another heart again at which to throb. Can you do this and still go on with your primary studies at Humboldt? Can you prepare such a work and still get your spelling les sons every day J I do not know why you should bavo re ferred the matter to me, however, and would rather refrain from giving advice in matters of literature. 1 could not write a book about “Thb B.renelt Flirt” to save my life. Writing passionate tilings in red ink, t»ri both aides, I regard as a gift. I can not do it. I once published a work in two volumes tohieh sola well and is still meeting with au excellent sale both m this country and in Europe. It was also veil received by tho critics, at km-.t no one said nuy thing dis paragingly of it, and it has helped many a fuc to pass a pleasant evening, ns I know, t contiists of two large volum s of history, being a history ol the war in tv, volumes. Btnick with the woudori'al paucity of war history, especially rolativo to the great re bellion, I prepared these two volumes in neat black and gold muslin and beveled boards. When closed the work wps orna mental and when opened it become a back gammon board. Where Uid others have been in the habit of putting word-painting und October haze and tho ouor of crushed watermelon and tho lull of being miles and miles away from the parents of one you deeply love and who is with you in the heart of the forest and all that I did not put any thing at all. Where a modern author might have written things which might have made Solomon and Brigham-Young to blush, cast shame and Cause the rat her questionable career of Don Juan, by contrast, to read like the loves of a snow man, I just left the reader to his own wicked thoughts as he went along. In this way uud by reinforcing the corners by means of y.ine shanks on the inside I knew that when the critics jumped on it they would not hurt it. To this I attribute vvhrt little literary suck oesJ I may have attained, nod this is the reason I speak of it to you. Rut times are changed and you must keep up with tho times. See, for instance, how the smut has been eradicated from comedy and humor, and how it has been gently but iinniy ro : taiued by romance. Even tho bright but doubtful jokes of war times, twenty years ago, could net flr.il a pu.ee in print or oh tho stage now, auu further back than that tve flgd many, ihuny little bon mots which could only be f ~.:id now in a Congressional committee's room cr a lute novel.

A : will bo sorry tvheh he reads tl: you v. rushed into print with your gr. vm : and said over your owfl signature and under ydur own letter heart that you thought of getting another kind of hat. We must overlook things like this bo, tween friends (luring the worry and heat of a campaign. Then again it would bo bet ter to wear your own hat %nyway. You would thus fool free and unfottbred. Toil can go to the polls then holding your head up like one of Nature’s noblemen, and, per haps, get enough before you are through td buy several hats, for in igy opinion votes will be votes this fail, and you will just simply fool yci rself, Rmatbbi's, for swapping your Go J-given franchise forany man’s hat. Robe of good cheer. 1 And the newspapers. They aite not bigoted. They will give you a broader view of life than you have now. Read every thing that will tend to elevate your moral sense and take you out of the realm of clothing aud gents’ furnishing goods. — Look upon your vote as something that can not be purchased. Do you think, Stnath ers, that our forefathers at Bunker Hill, sometimes called Breed’s Hill, and at Ti conderoga aud Tippecanoe, laid down tbeir lives that you and I might swap our divine franchises for hats? Did Columbus dis l cover America and titke his meals out all tho way over herd in order that you and I could barter our principles, auch as they are, for clothes? I think not. * DO you believe that such men as Benedict Arnold went thrbugh almost every thing— that is, almost every thing they could get their hands on—in order to transmit to futr tire generations the right to prostitute their opinions for huts i I trow not. Let us, therefore, Mr. Smothers, come out and take higher ground. Literary men and voters, they say, are too apt to under value their wares. Why do you no; write to the President for a sealskin sneque of it Cleveland overcoat? Then you would have attracted attention. As it is now, you have strained tho relations betvr en yourself and the President and rushed into print, in order* to herald your shame and proclaim yourself thus publicly as the man who is in the habit of 3training his relations. We tiro upon tho 1t 9 - J ' "ir® l »' 3 *j t m THC TAIOTF STUDEXI’. O' Mi. fimathers, of a great po’Jb ral con test. I did not think of tins myself. It was told to me in confidence on the polo grounds by a well educai ed Man from Mitine. So far as I know this is tho first time tho state ment lias appeared in prktt, but J feel a per sonal interest Id you, Mr. Rmi.’hcrs. No man who sincerely likes tho pieces I write for the papers can be a real bad man. 8o I give you tho above infer mat ion j ist as it was given to me. We ;_r-o upon the eve of a great political cent’: It is large ly, lam told, an intellectual c.i npa gn. Bo it is really no place for you i no, Mr. Smat.hcrs. This is not, V:r of fact, our funeral. As soon as J that it was to bo a campaign of bnims 1 . nedialely thread my umbrella and gat hway from Bcro. Rome claim that this is a fight over the tariff and that no man ought to vote Un til he thoroughly understands Vvhat tho gen eral effect upon all classes of industries in this country will be. Rhould that be tho #so, there Will be it small vQfcp indeed; Ofily one man in America fully u®i:rstands what the ultimate results of tariff reduction will be down to a dollar and how it will affect all classes here in this country, having made a life-long study of it, and unfortunately he can not take a part in tho campaign, because liis ward can not spare him. He resides in a close ward and he is much attached to it by means of a log chain, and the sides of his ward are padded 30 that he Can not fracture his skilll ana throw more than his 3haro Of brains into this highly intelligent campaign. But it is, so far, a good, clean, calm, unim possioned campaign, with more banner than business in it, rind as au American citizen I ! am glad that purity aud peace have so far characterized its history. Between you and me, Smathers, I am in clined to believe that the world is gotting better an d more desirable as a place cf resi dence. It is handy to business, tolerably healthy, and takes aro low. With long rauge guns which will enable 113 to fight a foreign foe without going away from home, ai d with John L. Sullivan engaged in jour nalism, it looks to mo as though the time might, bo near at hard When tho lamb will tie down in the northwest coi’hfir of the lion, when swords shall be turned into plov.-sl.urcs and spears into pruning hooks; when nation shall not rise up against na tion and ftien shall learn war no more.
