: "Poe and Hawthorne were the last of the
romancers. Each was a master in his way,
and that of Poe was the more obvious and
material. He was expert in much that
concerns the: structure of works, and the
modelling touches of the poet left beauty
marks upon- his prose. Yet in spiritual
meaning his tales.-were less poetic than
those of v Hawthorne. He relied upon his
-externals making much of their gorgeous
ness of color, their, splendor and gloom 01
light and shade.! Hawthorne found the
secret meaning 1 of common things, ; and
knew how to capture from the plainest as
pects of life an essence of evasive beauty
which the senses of Poe .were often unable
to perceive. ; It was Hawthorne who heard
the melodies too fine for mortal ear. Haw-
thore was wholly masculine, with the great
tenderness and gentleness which belong to

SOUTUKUN BOTJCATION AND THE
: i$ ATLANTIC iaOflTOLr.
We have been interested in a pa
per in the December number of the
Atlantic Monthly entitled "South
ern uoueges ana schools." it is
from the pen of a Southern teacher,
Mr. Charles Forster Smith, of South
tjarouna. it is- oasea upon a cor
respondence with a large Tl number of
prominent . teachers - in colleges and
academies" Amon? them are Prof.
Winston, of' the University of Korth
Carolina, . and ,Maj.: Bingham, r of
Bingham's School. Mr. Smith sees
the defects in. the educational system
in the South, recognizes the - uncom
mon excellence of the foremost col
leges and the best high schools,' and
has written a very interesting-paper.
He may not be right inAll of. his con
elusions, but we feel sure. that he" is
correct .' in much1 that he 'says. He
especially objects to the multiplica-
tion of colleges, " and gives some cu-1

to the University from each of the I
twelve schools. Mr. Strode, of the I
Kenmore University SchooL savs
that "the number J and characterj of,
the preparatory schools of Virginia
I have always thought to be due
solely to the influence of the Uni
versity oftVirginiA" The University
has never had a preparatory depart
ment. , Mark that. Its standard has
been always high very high. "Pro
fessor Pierce, cf Harvard, said of the
University of Virginia "that" the
standard in mathematics . for. under
graduates was then the . highest - in
the United States." . The course! of
studies in the University.preparalory
schools "is essentially . the same as
that in the German Gymnasien,
namely, English, mathematics, Latin,'
Greek, French- and German. There
are some other points that will re
quire another notice. -
Mr. George M. Landers is a Con

OCR STATE CONTSaiPOBABIES.
As farback'is' any-pf uVcan remember
the price of silver m London has been re
markably steady, (up to the time it was.
demonetized as above) the price has been
from " 59 to 60 pence, being about 1 1.19
per ounce. Since it was demonetized it has
continued to decline, and is now selling at
about 47 to 48 pence, about 95 cents per
ounce. England produces no silver, but
uses an immense amount of it in paying for
her ; purchases in India and other silver
countries. It was a bold stroke of. policy
on the part of England to demonetize sil
ver. By doing so Bhe depreciates the value
of iV. and enables her to buy it at reduced
prices. . Now see the advantage-England
gains by it, and carefully' note the disad
vantage it is to 'the people of the United
states.- with gold at 50 pence, or S1.20
Lper ounce in London, gold and silver are
then on a parity, and a man in London or
Liverpool who wants to buy wheat will buv.
it in the United States, because he will save
money by doing so. On the other hand if
silver is selling In London, at 48 pence or 06
cents, he will buy his wheat in India,. Au
stria, or Morocco or some of the other coun
tries, because he can -buy the silver at the
reduced price and it is with silver that he
pays for- the wheat in India or Austria. A
similar -situation our country would be in
if we were to send a hundred million of
our standard silver dollars to London and
have them sold at their bullion value, say
85 cents, and then1 for ; our wheat planters
to receive them at their face value in pay
ment for wheat. If this was allowed every'
bushel of wheat in this . country would be
immediately bought up by the Eng
lishmen and shipped to - England.' ' As
it now stands the granaries of the West
are full of wheat, and our very .'best cus
tomer; England; in a great measure lost to
us. While we have fallen - oS immensely
in our ; shipments of wheat to. England,
other countries, viz. : India, Austria and
Morocco, has greatly increased, their ship
ments having- increased thirty-five fold.
Precisely the same situation to a great ez--tent
exists in low grade cotton. , India can
never compete, with us In high., grade cot
ton but she can in low. grades, . and if the
policy of demonetizing silver is carried into
effect and the price of silver still further re
duced, we may well tear the loss of. all ot
