A GREAT WRITER Wilmington Star. Yesterday was the birthday of Sir JV alter Scott. The celebrations in ins honor were numerous and en-Ujiuiast-ic. Xo tribute can be too great lor the memory of tl ment and purposed three days ao Iwelling upon the pleasing " event Ao man in all literature is more de serving of having his birthday 15th August, 1771 -commemorated annually, for no man in letters was personally worthier or has afforded more delight to the readers of three generations. In personal character Sir Walter Scott was of the noblest. 1 here is not a more manly life writ ten, lie was utterly free from all petty jealousies, and" while recogni zing the greatness of all rivals he had a depreciated view of his own splendid poWers. He wts as fasci nating in social life as he is instruc tive in his wondrous, pictorial and magnificent pages. In all biography it will be hard to find so engaging a personality. We confess we love the man. Like Dr. Sam Johnson, Sir Walter was very fortunate in his bi ographer. Boswell has done possibly more for Johnson's fame thiui John son was able to do for himself. At any rate, he produced the most per fect biography in any language. The work done by J. G liO'ikhart, a man of unique powers, and son-in-law of Scott, .was different... He. has not followed on the lines of Boswell, but has given a most charming, fresh, faithful picture of Scott frjm birth upward, and has added a biography to the English language that is 'as interesting as Bosweii's great work and deserves to rank next to it. Every youth in the ' land should read Lockhart's life. But it is not because of his charm ing personal qualities and great no bility of soul that he des erves to be held in perpetual remembrance, but because of his great gifts and abso lutely original, fascinating and splendid productions. Somewhat fa miliar with the greatest writers and greatest prod actions of the teeming, fertile nineteenth century, we are much inclined upon a review of the last eighty-seven years to give the pulni to Walter Scott as the supreme genius among English authors. The only man who might bo excepted in the literature of Europe would be floethe Wc would not make the exception, but doubtless a concensus of opinion among critics might be secured as to the rival r superior greatness of Goethe. A man should write always his own convictions and not some one else's convictions. Be honest and catholic in letters We hesitate not to say, thijt Scott's poetry and novels have a far greater charm for us than Goethe's i, prose and verse, not even excepting 'Faust.' , But if Scott was not the greatest creative mind of the English speak ing world in this wonderful century then we know not whom to name. It is not any of the greatest poets not Wordsworth or Coleridge, Shel ly or Xeats, Byron or Tennyson. Scott's best poetrv does not equal the best of any of these superior geniuses perhaps, but he was far more Homeric than any or all of them, and the picturesque splendor, and heroic episodes, and viyid de scriptions, and magic scenes, and exquisite portraitures and glamour of genius has rendered them im mortal. The greatest of his poeti cal works "The Lay of the Last Minstrel' "Marmion" and "Lady of the Lake," will be always a treas ure of fascination and beauty so long as pure taste asserts itself among English readers. Well may that accomplished and eloquent critic, Prof. Thomas B. Shaw, say : "There is no author in the whole rane of literature, ancient or mod ern whose works exhibit so perfect an embodiment of united power and activity as is to bo found in Walter Scott. He is as prolific as Lope de Vega, as absolutely original as Ho mer' "; " ', . ' . He is among all nineteenth centu ry authors nearest to Shakespeare in the creation of characters that live forever on his canvas. In no other productions of the niodernworld will you find the fire and dash and energy divine that run through the exciting and animating eight sylla ble lines of the Scotsman. Byron comes nearest to him perhaps in these qualities. This brings us to write briefly of his novels. They are at once the glory and delight of literature. There are no fictions comparable to the greatest of Scott's. lie is as easily first among story tellers as Shakespeare is first among dramatists. It will boa sad 4ay when the educated men and wo men of an English-speaking country shall ever ceaso to read Scott and shall prefer the best and greatest that preceded or followed h m. FieldingRichardson and Smollet mav be read by the student of liter- ... t U.i t Virtnr Bin ill I ature with pleasure, r they are when compared with bcott a masterpieces. "Tom Jones is vir ile, original, coarse, and is immortal. We would not underrate it. So with the greatest productions of the be?t of English and American fiction writer?. ThackerayDickens, Bul wer, George Elliott, Charles Eeade, ( Charlotte Bronte, Nathaniel Haw thorne, George Meredith, Kingsley, Black more, Macdonald, Black, Har dy, Mrs. Gaskell, and a few other, novelists, should be read, for their best works constitute a great litera-j ture ; but never neglect Scott for any. Wilkie Collins, a very suc cessful story, teller, says Scott is so much greater than all other that he refreshes him when broken down and makes him feel like never writ ing again. , The purity,f the elevation, the splendor, the graphic power, thejel oquence, the wit, the .humor, the pathos, the naturalness, the wisdom, the poetry of Scott's immortal,, un approached romances give them the highest place in the noblest fiction. They present human beings, jnot mystical absurdities, or mere sticks; Tako "Guy Mannering' for ! in stance, and see how many rich, striking, origiual personages walk nnd talk before you. 1'rof. Shaw says : "If the highest manifestation of creative genius be the power of iri' renting scenes and persons which are at once surprising and natural, strongly individual in themselves, yet in perfect accordance with the types of reality; then it is impossi ble to deny Scott the honors duo to the highest creative genius." In Guy Mannering there are char acters that are as sure to live as those of Shakespeare. Dominie Sampson, Pleydell, Glcssin, Dandy l?inmot and Meg Merrilies will never fade from the canvas. In every one of his best novels are immortal char acters, but we cannot particularize. His best, with possibly two or three exceptions, are his Scotch stories. These are Waverly, The Legend of Montrose, Old Mortality, The Mon astery, The Abbot, The Fair Maid of Perth, Guy Mannering, Hob Boy, The Antiquary, Black Dwarf, The Heart of Midlothian, The Bride of Lammermoor, and one or two oth ers. Of these Waverly, Guy Man nering, The Antiquary, The Heart of Midlothian, The Bride of Lam mermoor and Bob Roy are the best. The only other novels of his that might be classed with these in ex cellence are Kenilworth and The Fcrtunes of Nigel, as we think. But there are many others that are delightful, such as The Talisman, Ivanhoe, The Pirate, The Betrothed a id so on. Scott wrote seventeen novels that may be classed as historical. .Of these seven are Scottish ; seven are English, and three are Continental. Then he wrote twelve that may be classed ne personal.- With a knowl edge of this classification the selec tions may be made more satisfacto rily. Take the Scottish historical novels for instance ; Waverly illus trates the period of the Pretender's attempt to gain the British' throne in 1745 ; The Legend of Montrose, illustrates the civil war in the sev enteenth century; Old Mortality illustrates the rebellion of the Cov enanters ; The Monastery and The Abbot illustrate the deposing and imprisonment of Mary, Queen of Scots ; The Fair Maid of Perth is laid in the reign of Robert III., while Castle Dangerous brings be fore us the time of the Black Doug lass So the English and Continen tal historical novels illustrate prom inent reigns and events. But we can dwell no longer on a pleasant theme to us. We thank God in our heart that we are able to thoroughly enjoy Scott. At our leisure we are once more goipg over his charming romauces. and justnow we are reading that splendid picture of the times of James I, of England, "The Fortunes of Nigel." What a romance ! What other pen but that of "the Great Wizard of the North" could have painted the sixteenth century as has been done? The colors are "true, the lia:ht and shade are in their proper proportion" and the life is real, animated, stirring. It is indeed a wonderful book, over flowing with scenic description,' de lightful or startling incident and the numerous characters individual ized and striking and natural. What other writer ever so transpor ted himself into the past and so saturated himself with its tone, its life, its wickedness and imperfec tions, its pomp and splendor, its manners and customs, as to repro duce them with a graphic power and richness that stand unrivalled. Kingsley in Westward Ho and Hy patia produced very interesting and powerful works located in the re mote past. Bulwer in the Last Days of Pompeii, Last of the Barons and; liienzi, has shown skill and vigor and splendor in repeopling the past and reproducing scenes of stirring interest ; and Charles Reade, in his f reat novel, his masterpiece, The Jloister and the Hearth, has done wonders in his powerful picture of Continental life four hundred years ago, in which his realism is start ling and his creative genius of a very high order, but after all how they fail in interest when read with Scott's greatest stories. Reade's novel is beyond doubt the greatest historic picture drawn since Scott, but it has scenes that are not inter esting to us. . But the theme is endless. One of the noblest of English poetsthe grandest of all contemplative sing ers William Wordsworth has said of Scott's wondrous productions : "MBleidng nd prayers In nobler returns ' " Than aoeptered King or laurelled ooaqueror knowi, Follow tills wendrou potentate," A HEW VENTURE. "Among my looks what rest is ! there." For The Topic In pursuance of a plan outlined by Mr. Howells, in the "Editor's Study" of I7arper'8 Magazine for August, Messrs. Harper & Brothers, with their well known habitual en terprise and public spirit, set at once about leading the way toward furnishing, by means of local pa pers and other periodicals to their clientele, more assistance in the se lection of books than; has otherwise been possible. One not familiar with the matter would be surprised at the amount of reading done in neighborhoods far 'from commercial centres, and com- plaint8 issue frequently from paratively isolated districts jthey cannot tell whether they to buv this book, or that, is com that want com- monly advertised, because there is doubt as to its character and aim. ' In instituting the proposed sys tem of review attempt will be made to give an idea of a book's contents, and an opinion as to the more or less satisfactory quality to those for whom literature is a factor in educa cation, is society, and the least dis appointing of friends!. It is expec ted that the system will be of grad ual growth, by constant increase in the number of firms sending their publications to a chosen reviewer, in the number of papers all over the country willing to give a little space for the purpose (which is not meant to advertise 4 as usually understood) and the widening of the intellectual horizon of many who are too busy to waste time on an undesirable book, and do not find it convenient to have .many papers and magazines. Any reader wishing the reviewer's opinion of works not noted is asked to send word to that ;effect to the paper containing the regular notic es. Reviews of books from several publishing houses will follow those now offered. j AUTHORIZED- REVIEWS. Car Harbor Days, by Mrs. Burtnu Harrison; Harper an I Brothers, illustrated, $l.'iS. One may be sure that a book is both bright and clean when Mrs. Harrison's name is oh the title page and none who found pleasure in reading Golden Rod,j Helen Troy, or other of her writings, will be con tent to miss enjoying the breezy chapters of the later j volume over flowing as it is with suggestive glimpses of the moods, fashions and experiences of all sorts of ages and people, and of Paul Pry and .Dame Trot, in a way to be-entirely agree able reading for old and young, al though it may be meant especially for boys. Absurdities prevalent a mong our people are touched deli cately, for example, in this manner: "A gentlemau who hasn't any an cestors, but he drives! a four in hand and you read about him agreat deal in the society papers, which is every bit as good." Peculiarly feminine strategy is humorously admitted in telling how the two terriers got per mission to go gypsying to Eagle Lake, with the family "belonging Co them." But however trenchant the satire it is always tempered by chee ry kindness and the contrasting sen timent of passages here and there is strong and sympathetic. The odd conceit of letting Dame Trot tell the story of the season gives the author more freedom of expression than she might otherwise have used, although the vivid and vigorous de scriptions of scenery jeome with at least extraordinary grace from the little creature whose encounter with "Flossy" is indeed sufficiently hu man. Not the least charming por tion of the-pretty little book is its musical prologue reading which one may fancy himself again surround ed by tho beauties of Bar Harbor, even if tho snow is flying before the wind. Horaetnanehip for Women, by T. H. Mead ; Harper aud Brothers. The slightly parodoxical character of this title is nevertheless a correct thing, for the instruction to be got ten from the beautifully printed and well illustrated book is valuable to both men and women, whether they wish to ride or drive. So much harshness and cruelty prevails a mong horse handlers that one thing in the author's directions is particu larly noteworthy, stress is laid con tinually on the importance of gen tleness and steadiness in training the dumb animals that serve people, as a rule, to the best of their abili ty. A landholder with daughters could hardly do a wiser thing than to give them this carefully prepared manual calculated to assist young women in the best methods of selec ting and of using horses with either saddle or harness. The owner of good animals will not fear to .trust them in the hands of trained horse women bnt will rather urge their use. Southern women who have been familiar with the saddle evei since they were big enough to be trusted in one under; the guidance Of some old "uncle" may indeed gai ly discard the technicalities of the book, but Northern girls, with their short riding seasons, need just such minute descriptions of ways and means, and will not object to the methodical carrying put of4the"plan of instruction We may believe, that it trill be good for the coming generation when our young women are as skillful riders as were their great grandmothers, for excellent horsemanship calls for gentleness, firmness, neatness and thoughtful ness of courtesies as well as of pos sibilities, and is a refining, health ful, and praiseworthy accomplish ment. Like other studies, this needs practice as well as precept, no a mount of rule making a fine horse man, if unaccompanied J by experi ence. Adelaide Cilley Waldrox. Tbe Irish Situation. Baltimore San. The proclamation of the National League in the manner in which the viceroy of Ireland has executed that performance was preliminary to ob taining the sense of Parliament up on the matter. It is not the sup pression of the league, but a warning which will be acted upon after a while in case only that Parliament refuses to interfere. Next Thurs day the Commons will begin to de bate the matter on the basis of a motion offered by the opposition disapproving the proclamation. But the result is not in doubt. The un ionist majority is overwhelming, and the motion will be rejected. Thereupon the work of suppression will begin. It is a question with the'nationalists whether the power of suppression will be exercised up on the league as a whole. They seem to believe that obscure local branches will be suppressed, but that the great central offices at Dub lin, which have the proportions of a government departraet, will not be touched, owing to the great author ity exercised therefrom over the people. But this is improbable. It is doubtless the purpose of the present government to , attack the national League as a whole, and, if possible, extirpate it, as the Government of Mr. Gladstone did the Land League in 18S1. The section of the crimes act upon which it relies is compre hensive ; punishment may be inflic ted by a magistrate, without judge or jury, upon any one that attends a league meeting, reports its pro ceedings, or takes any part. whatever in it. Like swift Eentence will fall upon1 persons found to have been engaged in boycotting, intimidation or committing outrages upon persons or property. The ingenuity of the leaders of the league is adequate, however, it may be supposed, to en able them to offset their sims under a new name and by methods not yet tried. It is a contest full of interest and one may well hesitate to say which side will come out victorious. The proclamation of the league has already weakened to some small ex tent the unionist party. Mr. Jo seph Chamberlain thonght the step unnecessary and disapproves of it, though he will continue to give Lord Salisbury's government hi3 support. Another unionist, Mr. T, W. Russell, of Ulster, has taken about the same position of qualified opposition. Both, however, it may be apprehended, will be found voting for what they disapprove as inexpe dient if at any time there is a criti cal division, the result of which would be effected by a change of two votes. A great fight is in prospect. The situation is different from what it was in 1881, when all England, Scotland and Wales opposed Mr. Parnell. Now Scotland and Wales and a large party in England are on his side, with the Grand Old Man, a politician of great experience and infinite resources to assist. On the other hand, there is now no second Gladstone whose conversion hopeful nationalists may look forward to. The trumps are all out. Strength of hand and skill in the game to be played will be the decisive factors of the result. : In Brief and to the Point, i Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disorder ed liver is misery.

Secretary Lamar and tha Public Lands. Baltimore Suu. - The recklessness with which pub lic lands have been granted to rail road corporations was never made apparent until the committee of the Tlouse of Representatives, under the leadership of its indefatigable chairman, . Mr. Cobb, of Indiana, devoted its energies to the sifting investigation which furnished grounds for the interposition of the present administration. The result, among other praiseworthy actions, wasSecrctary Lamar's recent decision revoking a connditional grant which involves, as is stated, the reassump tion by the government of from 25,000,000 to 30,000,000 acres of land in the case of the Atlantic and Pacific Company alone, although the principle enunciated and applied bears upon other grants where the generosity and confidence of the government have been misplaced and abused. The question of title to and proper disposition of the public lands was one of the earliest that invited the attention of the fa thers. In tho April preceding the adoption of the constitution by the convention, Mr. Madison, in a very remarkable letter because of the sug gestions which were embodied in that instrument, writes to General Washington that "the disposition of thej public lands" was one of the subjects which claimed the particu lar attention of Congress, and that "the States which have lands of their own f,or sale are suspected of not being hearty in bringing the federal lands to market." By letter of September 0, 1787, to Mr." Jeffer son, he says "Congress have taken some measures for disposing of the public land and have actually sold a considerable tract. Another bargain, I learn, is on foot for another sale." It will be seen from this that even before tho adoption of the constitu tion the national government was possessed with the rage that has since characterized many, especially recent administrations, for getting rid of the public domain. Mr. Mad ison had two theories by which he thought that the natiou might get a return commensurate with their liberality in this respect. One was to devote the proceeds of such sales to the purchase, emancipation aud colonization of slaves ; the other was the dedication of the proceeds of the sales of public lands to inter nal improvements. All recent ex-; travagant grants to4 railroad corpora tions presumably had this latter object for their basis. But it shows an exceedingly bad administration of a great public trust when one set of national trustees are called by an imperious sense of duty to reassert title to immense tracts of lauds im providently granted to railroa i cor porations, and it is not a subject for gratifying reflection, this contem plation of hundreds of thousands of acres of land lyiug idle and profit less, both to the people and the gov ernment. The action of Secretary Lamar is highly commendable, we may say courageous, since tho rule of action in such cases has hereto fore been one of timidity. With the exception of the Louisiana and Florida lands, the result of pur chase, the great body of remaining public lands were ceded by some of the old States, notably Virginia, New York and North Carolina, and as Henrv Clay, in his report of 1832, said : "The clear and positive terms of these acts of cession was a great, public, national, trust created and assumed by the general government. It became solemnly bound to hold and administer the lands ceded, as a 'common fund for the use and benefit of all the States, and .for no other use and purpose whatever." With this statement of the national title and trust to and in these lands, no intelligent person can find fault. The corollary is that tho utmost jealousy and honesty should charac terize the administration of the trust, and the action of Secretary Lamar is highly commendable be cause it recognizes and emphasizes this to be the onlv rule of action.

"I - : Hendr.rsonvillo Times. I The following item, under the above caption, was clipped from the Asheville Advance. In the form of u press dispatch, it has appeared in the Atlanta Constitution and a Richmond paper, and perhaps oth ers. We thought there was not a word of truth in it, when we Ursfc read it, but, nevertheless, we have taken the trouble to investigate 'the matter, and some of the English colonist themselves, and some of the native Americans in that ' sectoni have informed us that the statement is a canard, a baseless fabrication, and that tho correspondent who wrote the letter to the Advance jwas either misinformed or did it jith evil intent. Our English friends who have made J this section jthe home of their adoption are living on peaceable and friendly terms with their neighbors, and nO disputes, so far a3 we can learn, have ever arisen. Queen Victoria's jubilee was celebrated, and the English flag was unfurled from the top o a long pole duringxanj entire "week, but no one objected. We are told that. there is not a man in that com munity who is ninety-five to one hundred years old. and a veteran of the war of 1812 would necessarily have attaiued this advanced age. The English are welcomed by our people, and we would rejoice to jsee many more of them come among us.

Queen Victoria's jubilee was obser ved by this colony with sport3 and games of various kinds. A British flag was hoisted on a lofty pole.' j 1A number of residents of that section were made very angry by the display of the flag. They held a conference on this subject, and a soldier of the war of 1812 said the flag ought to rnnifiilnwn. Theso n i ii n tain eerf i At once went to the English settlement, and said plainly that the flag must ' be lowered. The English colonists were indignant ana said they meant no disrespect, and would take the flag down after the jubilee was over. The old veteran, who .was spokes man of the Americans, persisted (in his demands that the flag must come down at once, and at last said if j it was not down by daylight the next day, it would be? torn down. The patriots then took leave. : They watched next morning and found that the flag had been lowered." Products and Prices of Wheat. u iust Crop Report. The Commercial press is begin ning to note a fact that has been more than once anounced in these reports, that there is little connec tion bet weeu prod notion and exports of the wheat of the United States anid that price does not always con trol the extent of shipments. It never does "control" the volume shipped. While as a general statement three-fourths of the corn of the world is produeed in the United States, but one-fourth of the wheat is grown here; so that the " home price of corn doei ''''control" the price of that exported, and the home price of wheat, instead of controll ing Liverpool prices, is largely coin ii oiled by them. It has more thkn once happened that prices have been so ..high when our crop has been 1 irge, and low when the product has been 'small. The cause is no mas tery; tho law f supply and de mand has -not been violated, buit price has conformed strictly to the supply of tbe ' world. Hence tjio crop is of no especial consequence except us a factor of the aggregate supply. .w . " -.- The present indications point (to a more than average European crop.
