THE WILMIffGTOff POST.
WILMINGTON. N. C. SEPTEMBER 5, 1869.
We are pleased tp see the Star twinkle
again. Bernard is getting better and wo
congratulate him. '..
The Standard calls upon the Star to de
clare its platform, Jbut our little neighbor
" ainfpn that lay much. V Wait Mr. Stand
ard until we know how that " cat is going
to' jump. and then perhaps the Star man
will ' show his hand.'1 ' -
- ' . Good Crops.
We rejoiced exceedingly yesterday to
hear a farmer say he had a splendid crop
' and that his neighbors were all all rejoicing.
We only wish thcre( were more smiling fa
ces among them. Our farmws must not
place all their dependence on one crop, but
should'-plant several different articles each
year. We cannot expect always to succeed
in cotton, or rice, or peas, but it our .far
mers would plant part of their land in cot
ton and part in peas where one failed the
other would succeed. We are a firm be
liever in rotation and variety in crops.
Tue new judicial sensation in Massachu
setts, says the New York Times, is impris-
i oning eminently respectable people for as
saulting other eminently respectable people.
The other day Mr. Curtis, a Boston mer
chant, was put in jail for two months, for
having " gently turned " the nose of Mr.
Churchill, a Boston lawyer. Now, Mr. Boyn
ton, a Brighton merchant, is also put in jail
tor two months,1 for having, assaulted Mr.
i Braman, a Brighton lawyer. What is the
matter ? Are the Massachusetts merchants
taking io the business of tweaking the noses
of the Massachusetts lawyers ? Is the spice
of peril in the sport getting to be irresisti
ble X Perhaps now that the merchants know
just how much their fun costs, they are in
clined to risk the two months in jail for the
satisfaction of settling old scores on the
noses of the legal profession . The fact,
however, that rich and poor receive the
same penalty, shows that even-handed jus
tice is meted out in the Courts of Boston.'

The Ityron ScandalMr. Bonner Would

; r New York, August 30th, 1869.
To.thc Editor of the Herald : . ,
I In your paper of this morning I find the
following statement, copied from the Lou
isville Courier-Journal) in regarded w Mrs.
Stowe's recent article on Lord Byron :
i'Dana and Conner fairly i burst I with
spleen Dana because he didn't invent'the
Byron scandal, and Bonner because he
'didn't get it for the Ledger. Damna"
ition 1" cried Bonner when he first feot an
inkling of it; " why didn't she fetch it to
me ? Why, I'd have paid her a cool $5,000
tor it." -This
is not only a falsehood, but
falsehood which no one at all acquainted
with me could ever had invented. What
ever I might have thought about Mrs.
Stowes' article, it would have beeh "quite
contrary to my habit of speech to charac
terize it by the word "Damnation but this
I must say, that a million of dollars could
not have induced me to print the gross and
indecent article in the Ledger, no matter
what the publishers of the Atlantic Monthly
were willing to do. Few women have
evinced so much talent as Mrs. Stowe. I
have myself purchased articles from her lor
which I have cheerfully paid her a high
price ; but they were very different articles
from the one under consideration. And I
do not believe that any true friend who was
himself in his right mind could have ad
vised her to sell for any sum that morbid,
teriible and unnatural hallucination about
Lord) Byron. For her sake I sincerity and
deeply regret that she has done it. I know
of no article published in my lifetime calcu
lated to exert a more injurious and: demor
alizing influence on the rising generation,
and for this reason I wish everybody to
know that nbthing would have tempted me
to publish it. Robert Bonner.
The Imprisoned Nun at CracowAnoth
er Side oi the Story.
The Pall Mall Gazette has the following :
"We have so few good horrors lately that
we hope we are not going to be disappoint
ed about the nun at Cracow. The Universe
of the 5th instant says that the Carmelite
sisters at Cracow have been made the vic
tims of an abominable combination of intri
gueingJews, Protestants and Freethinkers,
with the complicity, if not . under the di
rect inspiration, of the Austrian Ministry.
The unfortunate nun,1 the Universe states,
belongs to an honorable family and had re
ceived an excellent , education". Under the
impression that she was called to a religious
life, she first intended to- enter the Convent
of the Visitation. After several trials, how
ever, she was to be mistaken as to her voca
tion. Her piety was tervent, and
respects she showed great merit:
was so excessively scrupulous mat tue sis
ters feared that she would lose her Senses.
'At a later date she offered herse
Carmelites and was received into
vent. Her scrupulosity, however
came worse ana ended in madness. The
good Carmelite 3isters thought she would
fare better in their hands than with a mad
doctor, and accordingly kept her in their
convent. It was a heavy cross to them, but,
Carmelites only live to carry the j cross.
There is ho foundation tor the statement
they iiltreated her. The 'filthy hole' she:
occupied was in fact a clean and well aired
room. A close examination of the poor
nun's body has disclosed no traces of the
tortures she is said to have suffered for
twenty-one years. Altogether the Universe
thinks she has been very comfortable, and
if this really is the case our penny-a-liners
ought to do some kind of penance, otherwise
by'Tne gdocf Oteal:rsTtflcrwt
Still the Universe is the Universe,! and does
not command our implicit faith."
