By WILLIAM H. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, Nl C. Friday Evening, j Feb. 20, 1885; EVENING EDITION. SOUTHERN LITERATURE. We yesterday published an inter esting article from thej pen of the gifted editor of the Riohmond Christian Advocate upon the lit erary men and 'women j of Virginia. The Stab long ago recognized the great ability and scientific attain ments of Dr. Southall, who is beyond question the first man in the South in the walks of science, and has but few equals, if any, in America. He. is known in Europe, and if he had been born in Germany: or England - his name would be now as familiar as household words. We know of the gifted Dr. Taylor without ever having had an opportunity to read his bright and witty j pages. The with Advocate might have referred ; high commendation to the writings of Professor Harrison, ;who has prov ed himself a literator of exceptional cleverness. Of the ' lamented Dr. Bagby we may not now attempt to speak at length.! For some months we. have purposed writing concerning . the first volume of his woiks that his dear wife, with pions care and delicate tastej has given to the world. We are sorry to see from what the Advocate says, that i - . even in Virginia this volume has met with but little sale. Verily a I man t of genius is net without honor save in his own country. Well did Dr. Lafferty cay of the singularly en dowed Bagby in writing of his pro ductions, ''There is no man left in Virginia fit to lift the lid of his ink stand;" and John Eaten Cooke, an other man of admirable gifts, native . too to Virginia, said of Bagby, that "never in Virginia letters shall we see his like again." He was indeed "a fellow of infinite jest" and his . descriptions are racy of the soil of the great State that gave him birth. Our genial friend iLafferty said of the volume in his paper: v "The volume holds twenty or more of articles. They could not have been made outside of Virginia, and only by a Vir ginian. It looks like they were written out , of the ink oak-balls of her forest. The soil, the air, and ky of Virginia are in their growth. The 'Old Virginia Gentlemen'; is ; Virginia. We have not read the pages be- " y ond that article. No son of the Common wealth has hitherto painted a companion" piece to that picture. It is not in the scope of hope that this worn-out age can bring to , birth a genius who can take the eye and admiration away frcm Bagby. . Posterity will not , willingly let die these writings. - Our children s children will cherish the ex quisite touches of home scenes, the Bobbins ' pathos, the prose song of eloquence, like prophecy in rhyme of Hebrew seer." j The volume, to be j followed by a second, is published by Whittel and Shepperson, Richmond, Va., and it is well done. The introduction is ' fromVthe pen of Rev. Edward S. Si?: Gregory, who, alas ! since , he wrote it has himself joined his dead friend in,ttie orW- Pyn?t: Gregory was journalist, minister, pdet 'He was a man of excellent - gifts and had the tnff " of an enviable reputation in him. He published one sermon, and ( one volnme of verse, and then the Great Reaper 7 came and cut him down in the full vigor of , manhood. What Gregory said of Bagby was tender and graceful. Said Lafferty ofit: . 'y ' .; ,' is the civic crown Bet in a rim or roses. The leaves of ivy and oak are partea here and there by delicate buds with per fume of love and tears out ' of the night. This biographical sketch is in sweetest sym pathy with the subject and tells the touch- AW . . in? trtv in chastened rjraise and in quiver- ing pathos, making the rudest reader aepior to the noble and silent genius ef tneaeaa autuui , usuuciiiuK j . dhww., e ---- the gold to the dull and receptive metal,' Of James Barron Hope we can only say as we have said before, that he is a poet born and has written lines that are worthy to live and are not unworthy of the best poets that this country has produced. Of his daughter, Dr. Laffertv so much of concerning whom has written with sympathy and ap preciation, we can not speak from personal knowledge. We are glad r I that Virginia has so many writers of true gifts to uphold, her ancient fame and to give an additional lustre to the aureole that encircles her name. j We might glance at a few writers in our own . State if space allowed at Thdore. Bill and Miss Fisher and others, but of these , we have afore time had .our say. : We pass on to briefly refer to others. The Sonth's greatest living poet is the noble and: richly endowed South Carolinian Paul H. Hayne. His ge- fthe foremost of England's living singers. In the North his works are held to be of no mean value, and the cultured men and women of New England are among his most sincere and ap preciative admirers. The greatest master of style in our beloved South land, the essayist, poet, theologian and scholar who dates his letters from "Wee Willie Cottage," Athens, Ga., Rev. Dr. Andrew A. Lipscomb, in a recent letter to the writer, said this of the poet Hayne: "I found him better than I expected. The weather was. at its worst, and, of course, two invalids like himself and my self were closely housed, and enjoyed as much as the gentle Cower' when he spoke of looking out from the seclusion of rural life through 'the loop holes of retreat.' Iv am very thankful to our Heavenly Father that Colonel Hayne is in much firmer'' health. He is exceedingly cheerful, and growing every day in power of genius and in the extent of his literary influence. The grand soul is grander than ever. j 'Copae HUT is already famous, and will be more so. In no man's distinction do I feel such pride as in Col. Hayne's. He deserves the honor which he is receiving and far more besides, for we have no man of cul tured genius among us, who is bis equal." Mr. Woodrow Wilson's book, en tiled "Congressional Government," is just ont from the press of Houghton, Mifflin & Co., of Boston. Mr. Wil son is the 6on of Rev. Dr. Wilson, of this city, and was born in Vir ginia, we think. He is a young man of remarkable ability. The follow ing is the only notice we have yet seen of the book. The Hartford (Conn.) Courant says of it: "It is the most interesting volume of its kind we have seen for a long time. It is in the nature of a new commentary on the national constitution; not the constitution as it was written, adopted and handed down by the fathers, but the form Of gov ernment to which it has brought us. The book is full of important information to one not familiar with the manner in which our legislation is; conducted. This is ex cellently arranged, and carefully and thoughtfully considered. We know of no book of any size or kind which gives so in telligent a view of our government as it really is." : . We intended at the outset of this article to have referred at some length to a remarkable group of men of letters,1 all of whom were born in the Sonth.l They are all of exceed ing cleverness in certain fields of in tellectual ; endeavor, and some of them are unquestionably menof ge nius. Before the war no such writers flourished: in the. South. Poe, the greatest j man of genius yet born in the South, and probably in this coun try," deserves a separator paper. Of that group the South ought to be I proud, but of it we fear the I South knows but little It is composed! of Cable, Baker, Crad- I dock, Joel Chandler Harris, Maurice Thompson, and Brander Matthews. The first four are novelists and wri ters in dialect. Matthews is a nov elist and theatrical critic. He and Cable were born in New Orleans. He has published a volume that has brought him' fame as a critic of the drama, j Thompson has written sev eral books and his fame is almost en tirely Northern. He has genius and some of his poetry is f nil of promise. Baker is dead, but he was a writer of such power that a Northern house is glad to publish aijjbsthnmous work from" his pen. We might include Mark Twain in the group, for he was born in Missouri; but his writings'are too coarse and inartistie to be men- obviously by the grammar the feel tioned in. connection with thnnn I nr tWtha w ... named above, ; .Of Sidney Lanier the BXAS has delighted to often speak. Bia name will long Hve in American literature and his poetic' genius will always associate nu lame wun .roe,; . J9 . f W 1 and Tiinrod and Hayne. Of Crad- docfe, ' aTennesseean who6e real name ys Murfree, Maarice:,Thomjson writ pa to the New VYork fiZHr-? dependent that he "has done the best literary work in short sto ries' that has come out of "the South since Foe died.'IW f S certainly correct. .Xetthejcultori. reader get those stories entitled "In the Tennessee Mountains," and he :ii Qt jQnht as to the correctness r - .- - . 1 now writing a serial story for the Atlantic Monthly that is very strong and a very highly artistic work. In character painting and in description of natural scenery he is indeed a master equal to' the best. Of bis first volume the London Satuarday Heview, high authority, said this:' , "Mr. Craddock's descriptions are always admirable: they are not mere bits of. 'word painting.' gorgeous and meaningless; they are sxeicnes irom me, sou iucjt rewu "v, and reproduce simply and exactly the in- -AnA imnooeinn rt Ufa nnH nature . M T. Craddock draws men and women with the same gentle hand." Grant literally stirred up a nest of writers when he undertook to gtve his thickly varnished story of the battle of Shiloh. He is as much of a romancer as Blaine is. But some Federal Generals have some regard for the truth and they are letting in light upon a darkened story. We gave recently what one Federal Gen eral said, and the following is in the same vein. We copy from a dispatch in the New York Times. It will be seen what Gen. Ward thinks '-of Shiloh: "Kankakee. III., Feb.-17. Gen. Dur bin Ward, of Ohio, while snowed in near Kankakee, entertained his seventy fellow passengers with personal and military remi niscences. He said. 'I dislike to discuss battles over which Generals are in contro versy. Still, I assure you that if our Union Generals say they were not surprised at the battle of Shiloh, it is a great surprise to me. Had not the death of the Confederate Albert Sidney Johnston happened just when it did, our fate would have been far different' " The Legislature will probably ad journ without doing some of the most important work needed. It is not probable that anything bold and practical will-be done to fostpr the sheep industry, and it is given out that the Solons will not be able to grapple with the public roads ques tion. Both of these are extremely important to North Carolina. Why some effort is not made to foster sheep husbandry and to improve the system of public roads would be difficult to account for unless it were charged that there was a lack of moral courage and of practical, busi ness talents. The Raleigh Register says: "The Regiater hears of no bill before the General Assembly likely to accomplish anything of value in regard to the' public roads. Would it not be well to appoint a commission to report at the next session a proper road law? The roads will not be good until they are made so and kept so by taxation." We have received the Houbo bill introduced by Mr. King to incorpo rate the Wilmington, Onslow and East Carolina Railroad Company. The Committee on Internal Improve ments have reported favorably upon the bill but make certain changes deemed essential. The bill is long. We copy elsewhere the first five sec tions of the bill. Our people are much interested in this road. If completed it would do a great deal for Wilmington. With a road con necting the rich onnty of Onslow with our city the oyster industry would be soon made of great impor tance and Wilmington could be made the centre of oyster canning and ship ping industry, and the canning of fruits and vegetables could become a source of large revenue to our people. We yesterday saw a grocer unpack ing European cabbage. Let ns learn to be independent. CURRENT COMMENT The efforts of the esteemed Sun to keep the English language in journalism meet with many imped iments. Unfortunately they are im pediments of speech and are fur nished by its own editors. In its edition of yesterday an editorial- opens in this degage style: We be lieve it was Mr. Joseph H. Choate who said of one of the wealthiest and most distinguished merchants of New York that he was a good man in i act, too gooa to De truer it was with some such feeling that we read the other day the announcement by the Grand Jury of Kings county that there was really no gambling in the city of Brooklyn." Here we have an editor confusing two ideas in one paragraph, and making Ta non sequitur m the other. Which is it in the first sentence that is 'too good to be true the man or the story? The sense , points . to one - and tne grammar to the other. When I yott have read the second sentence you nave only; to ; ask, ,"What feeling ? fiouncement of Uhe Grand Jury of Kings county is too eood a storv to be a true man. '.

The old days of gymnastic,1 gum-elastic, "Com binderies" (as Josiah Turner -was wont to call themmust be past. School, State. Society, Asylum, Agriculture, Ap propriations, Railroads, and Reciprocal (I tickle you ; you tide me) Rings must be past. And without reflecting upon the past history of the University, we feel sure that it has now the basis, the sentiment, the op portunity to do vast good in the State. So strong is this feeling in qur mind that we have advised President Battle to invite the leading College and High School men of the State to a joint meeting with him and his faculty, with a view to a concert of ac tion among them; so that every denomina tional college may flourish and expand; while at the same time our North Carolina youth aspiring to a bight "University" education may find it within our borders, even though the cost to the State for a few years may seem disproportion to the number of students. Raleiah Farmer and Mechanic. It we could reach the ears of. our legisla tdre from this mud cursed, blocked up, no way out of county seat we : would urge aeain the supreme necessity of better roads. Good roads would be worth ! more to the State than a hundred industrial schools, and the man who can pilot us through all this mud and show us a better way to our churches and mills, and markets and rail roads would do more for his country than the combined efforts of all the Legislatures that have met in the State for1 the last ten $ears.rAheboro Courier.

The Marvin Safe Co.'s factory, a huge eieht-story building. -embracing Noa. 324 and 332 West- 37 ih street, was destroyed by fire during last nieht. with all of its contents. How the outbreak occurred is a mystery that proba bly will be never solved. The walls of the building threatened the surrounding tene ments, which had to be cleared by the po lice. Hundreds of ' half-clad children, women and men shivered in the sharp frost, who werb thus driven from their homes, but who found shelter with hospi table neighbors. The firemen worked hard all nigbt, and succeeded in conSning the flames to the factory building. Tenements Nos. 320 and 334, adjoining it on either side, were more or less damaged by falling wans. The lots to the Marvin Safe Co. is $230,- 000, of which $ 109,000 is on over five hun dred safes ready for market or in course of manufacture, that were stored in the build ing. $50, COO on the machinery, and $80,000 on the building, which was the property of the Company. Insurance- for $l2or000 in thirty companies is held. Two hundred and fifty men are thrown out of employ ment. FIN AN CIA I New York Stock market Strone and Higher. i By Telegraph to the Mornlmr Star.
