By WILLIAM H. BERNARD.
WILMINGTON, Ar. C.
Wednesday Morning, Jan. 18, 1882
an absurd criticism.
John Ruskin is one of the greatest
writers of the nineteenth century.
He is doubtless one of the ten or
twelve greatest prose writers of
Great Britain. But as he has grown
older he has become more eccentric
than ever in his opinions and utter
ances. Some time ago he wrote an
eloquent criticism upon Wordsworth,
one of the greatest of the nineteenth
century poets, and one of the greatest
of the second rank after Milton. Mr.
Ruskin made him altogether a verv
commonplace sort of writer, and de
nied him but little if any genius.
After thai absurd literary escapade
we were prepared for any other
heresy in letters he might choose to
espouse. His latest is his attack
upon the merits of George Eliot, and
especially of her masterly work, "The
Mill on The Floss," one of the most
original and striking of the great
novelist's works so fresh, so graphic,
so rich in delineation of character, and
in descriptions of natural scenery,
and withal so beautiful and unique
and full of concentrated power. Mr.
Rnskin denies it all merit and makqs
it one of the most absurd and paltry
of works. Hear this pugnacious and.
gifted old man as he mocks:
"The 'Mill on the Floss' is perhaps the
most striking instance extant of this study
of cutaneous disease. There is not a single
person in the book of the smallest im
portance to anybody in the world but them
selves, or whose qualities deserved so much
as a line of printer's type in their description.
There is no girl alive, fairly clever, half
'educated, and unluckily related, whose life
-lias not at least as much in it as Maggie's,
to be described and to be pitied. Tom is a
clumsy and cruellout, with the making of
better things in him (and the same may be
said of nearly every Englingman. at present
smoking and elbowing his way through
the ugly world his blunders have contribu
ted to the making of ;) while the rest of the
characters are simply the sweepings out of
a Pentonville omnibus."
, This is very absurd swrely Bui
Ruskin is not always so bad a Critic
He has been writing,a series of pa
pers on "Fiction, Fonl ahd Fair," in
one of which the above onslaught on
George Eliot occurs. Tke.burden.4f
the discussion is Walter Scott, and
that greatest of all novelists was
never so ably, so penetratingly, so
sympathetically treated befarl. He
places the great Scotchman above
all writers. For doing this we for
give his failure to appreciate Words

the navy very materially and not to
its good, if we, may judge by hise-
cord. The American Register thus
refers to this New Jersey corrup
tionist: ' 'As Secretary of the Navy he squandered
many millions of dollars, And when ha re
tired from tjie Cabinet, left us a navy that
is the shame of America, and the laughing
stock of the world. We do not pretend
to say that the honorable gentteman
was, or is, a, rogue, but we affirm that he
has acquired a most unsavory reputation
one that should make even a harlot blush.
CKNTENARIAITS.
"The "Wilmington Star says it would be
safe to bet that there was not a manor
woman in the State 105 years old; ' The
Stab would lose its bet There is a negro
man now livingih Rockingham county,
who sold inRaleigh in March, 1838, to
the father of Dr. Hay, of Winston, and the
bill of sale given at the time gave his age
as 55, making him now 109. years old. As
it was not usual to represent slich property
as older than it really was, wc take it that
it is good documentary proof that old uncle
George is as old, if not older than he repre
sents himself." Winston Sentinel.
We have many times at length
given our reasons for disbelieving
the thousands of wild reports con
cerning very old people in theAmer
ican newspapers. The proper evi
dence is lacking. Wc would not
lose our bet on the evidence given
by the Sentinel. He was represented
to be 55 years old at a certain date.
This would prove nothing in a court.
How is it that among the tens of
thousands of Methodist preachers
but one is known to have attained to
the age of 100? How is it that not
one of the British Peerage ever
reached the age of 100? How is it
that no English, European or Ameri
can life insurance company ever
paid a policy on a lile that had
reached 100 years? When you
find people reported to be 100
and upwards you may hesitate long
to credit it until you have seen
good and sufficient evidence to estab
lish the fact beyond reasonable ques
tion. They will turn out in nearly
all cases like that fellow who came to
New York from Europe nnd was
feted because he was 115 years pld
and was so hale and hearty. It was
shown afterwards that he was but 86
years of age. He had been a soldier
in the British army and his age was
a matter of record. We believe no
reports that are not substantiated by
indisputable records as to birth. It
is true our bump of credulity is not
extremely large.
If the l69 years of the Rocking
ham negro can be proved so as to
bear the utmost scrutiny, then Bar
num would give him, we- have no
doubt, $10j,000 to exhibit him for a
few months. We would be willing
to pay at the door to see any mortal
who was really 109 years old. .We
have seen a half dozen or more who
claimed to be much beyond the 100th
year, but there was no proper record
no evidence to justify the claim.
There is an old negro in Wilming
ton who says he will be two hundred
years old at his uext birthday. . A
gentleman ? tells us of one who is
either living now or was living a few
years ago who assured him he remem
bered well when Christopher Colum
bus came over the ocean in search of
new worlds, and that he saw him
when he landed down about Bald
Head or some other point not very
distant from the mouth of the "rag
ingGape Fean" Of course neither
our friend nor ourselves pretend to
avouch the truth of the old darkey's
yarn. The old -fellow was about as
hear the truth; however, 'as ' ,the 'bd
negroes get generally when they tell
of their, age J'; 'i.

course of the owners of the Western
North Carolina Railroad in refusing
to pay the taxes due county arid
State. It requests the State papers
to copy the following :
"Retolved, That it is the sense of the
tax-payers of Burke county that what is
known as the Best bill does, in plain En
glish, require the owners of the Western
North Carolina Railroad to pay State and
county taxes on that part of their line
lying in xur&e county.
'."Besohxd, That we heartily endorse the

CUItREXT COMMENT.
' This policy of "protecting"
a half million of New England rich
men, at the expense of forty-nine and
and a half millions of other people,
looks to ns like a good thing for the
fewi but a little rough on the many.
When maniifacturerB are few and
weak,' it may be goext policy to pro
tect them, bnt after they become rich
and powerful, and able to stand alone,
then let them take care of themselves.
Give us a tariff for revenue, but none
for protection. "Protection" is.in the
interest of the few, is class legisla
tion, is to xnakbstrong monopolies
Land corporations stronger.- Tins? -we
suspect, is not good Republican nor
Democratic doctrinedn New Eng
landy but we cannot? hjlp that.: Till
the Sentinel becomes, convinced that
a high protective tariff; is a good
thing for the masses instead of only
for the few, we will he opposed to it,

advocate it. O'sc&a Iowa) Henti net,
