Tk Taleac4 Lay Writer and Her Eqaally Bnawaed Hatband, t aha Saaltk I Jack Dowalnf From notice in northern papers we coll the following extracts in reference to Mrs E. Oakea Smith who recently died at Hollywood near New Berne after making it her home for several years. "Elizabeth Oakes Smith, novelist, poet and lecturer, who died at tho residence of her daughter-in-law, Mrs Augusta Ouk smith, at Hollywood, N. C, on Wednes day, Nov. IS, 1893, after an illness of only a few days, was buried beside her bus band in Willow Cemetery, in this village, on the next Sunday morning. She was tbe widow of Seba .Smith, who fifty two years ago was editor of the Portland (Me.) Eastern Argus. Mr. Smith became fam ous under the pen name of ''Major Jack Downing." His principal works were his "Thirty years out of the Senate'' '-Way dotn East" "Elcmeuts ol Geometry. He died in 1868. Mrs. Smith was born in Cumberland, Me., Aug. 12, 1800. Her maiden name was Prince and she was a descendant of Gov. Prince of the Ply mouth colony and President Uriah Oakes of Harvard University. In Infancy she removed to Portland, Me., and when 17 years of ago married Suba Smith, an editor, and wrole proso and verse and as sisted her husband in his profession. 'She settled in New York City in 18ii9, contributing to tho magazines and reviews corresponding for papers, writing stories and lecurcs lor years. "The Sinless Child" and other poems gave her repu tation as a poet. "She was also tie first woman to lecture before a lyceum. nud had a southern lect ure tour engaged when the war broke out. Theodore Parker invited her to preach in his pulpit in Boston, and she was at one time settled over the Independ ent chureh ut Ciinastala, New ork. Her first lecture was delivered in Hope Chapel, New York, in 1853. J,"She retained her faculties till near the close of her life and kept up a strong interest in all the great questious of the day. In her you:h she was pronounced of great beauty nnd retained much of it till the close ol her lile. She survived all her sons but one (six in number) but leaves a number of grand-children. Mn. Smith moved to Patchogue just before the war broke out and when our boys went to the Iront she gave each an India rubber cape. For the past ten years she has resided in Hollywood, N. C. By her death the country loses one of its most able and brilliant femalo writers. Patch ogue Argus. From a two and a halt column article in the New York Home Journul on Mrs. Oakes Smith and her husband wo taki the following mention ol the latter: Tho equally famous husband of Mrs. Smith, Seba Smith, Jr., was born in BuckBeld, Me., in 1792. He fitted for college at Bridgton'a academy, and ;r;i duated from Bowdoin in 1818. He then studied law in Portland and was admit ted to the bar. It was then and there he met and became enamoured of Miss Prince. While a resident of Portland, Mr. Smith was editor of the Eastern Argus, which he made very popular; then, in 1830, he started the Portland Daily Courier, which he conducted till 1837. He then removed to New York City, end renewed the practice Of his prolession. He was author of the "Major Jack Downing" letters, of a satirical political character, which had a great run. These wera afterwards publianod in book form, under the apt title of "My Thirty Years out of the Senate;" a term of playful travesty on Colonel Bnt ton's "My Thirty Years in the Senate." He was also the author of a humorous book, illustrative of old-time days and customs in bis native State, entitled 'Away Down East." He was also a poet of no mean rank. He died at Patchogue, Long Island, July 29, 1868. Besides bis editorial, humorous and poetic productions, Mr. Smith was the author of a work In a different field, which he regarded as far transcending all else of bis literary labors. This was bis "New Elements of Geometry," an octavo volume of 200 paget, the result of three years work, which was published in 1850. The mental characteristics ot Mr. and Mrs. Smith wenv. transmitted to their descendants, their six sons inheriting in a marked degree their superb intellec tuality, and several of their grandchild ren being poets. One of the most brill iant, of the sons was Appieton, who died in 1887. His poem, "Maggie Bell," was greatly admired, and has been reprinted many times. One poem in particular which Seba Smith composed had enduring fame. It was "Tbe Snow Storm," and was founded on a real and tragic incident the perish ing in a snow storm la the night time, while travelling a spur of the Green Mountains in Vermont, of a Mrs. Blake, whose infant, whom she bad taken with her, was found alive and well in the morning, being carefully wrapped in the mother's clothing ' She stripped the mantle ffom her breast, - And bared her bosom to the storm, And round tbe child she wrapped the 4 vest, And smiled to think her babe was warm. With one cold kiss one tear she shed, And rank upon her snowy bed. And lastly from a paper the name of which we failed to note when makiug the clipping we take the following tri bute. - ' - - r - -. Our venerable, and highly-prized con tributor, Mrs. - Elizabeth Oakee Smith died at her residence In Hollywood N, C. - :';C-v : At the of 18, she married Seba Smith, who wis then editing the Portland Con ner, and who soon after became famous for his satirical political letters, purport ing to come from Major Jack Downing. He became involved iu pecuniary misfort unes, and Mrs. Smith adopted literature as a profession. She met with flattering success, as a writer, both in poetry and prose. They removed to new xoxk in 1842, and tbe Jrst considerable collect ion of her poems appeared the next year Continued on 4th Page. - Comliff and Going. Ueurs. F. Ulrich, J. U. Hackburn ami H. J.
