Mrs Hcmans To the Rev. Charles Brooks was

Transcript
Mr. Chairman In replying to your call.
havd thought it might not be unintcrcsing to
aasaa- al tlla writing of
that popular little poem on the "Landine Of
the Pilgrim Fathers" by Mrs lIcmans. Dur.
ing short and delightful stay at her house
in Dublin, ireland, in July, 1884, had a
long conversation with her. She expressed n
deep interest in the United States and said
that she had been better understood in Mas
sachusctts than in England
She uttered with deep feeling her profound
gratitude to professor Norton, of Cambridge,
for the delicate and efficient manner in which
he had commended her To tho American pub
lie q; for the generosity with which he had
published, at his own risk, beautiful edition
of all her works, and then sent his approba-
lion of her in that substantial and unequivo-
cal form which admits Of no misconsiruction,
pounds sterling. This patronage stimulated
her TO efforts which, otherwise, she would not
have made.
She told, me that, Of the many Strangers
and foreigners who had visited her within the
last three years, she had been most gratifed
with the Americans, and named one or two
as signal examples. She was as truthful in
her words rs she was pure in her thoughts (;
and in thought no angel was purer
In her conversation she was simple and
glowing and seemed without effort TO throw
the prismatic colors of her own idea upon cv-
cry object she touched. was struck with
her deep sense of justcewhcn she spoke OF
her sister spirits, Joanna Bailie, Caroline
Bowles, Mary Milford, Lctitia Landon, and
Mary Hewitt. She never spoke Of them as
rivals or competitors, but as friends and com
panions.
told her that, as member Of the Old
Colony Pilgrim Socicty,I had a right to thank
her, in thoir landing of the Pilgrim fathers.
"Wcll, said she, should you like TO know
how camo to write it?" "Certainly
should" was my reply. She said .it was
thus:
al purchased two volumes AT the bookstore
and brought them home, and. as laid them
on my table my eye was attracted by their
envelope. which proved to be eight pages, ,svo
of an address delivered at Plymouth on some
anniversary: There was no titlo page and
no date. Tho excellence of the paper aud
beauty Of the type first arrested my attention;
but how this stray fragment got to ireland, /
could never ascertain. began to read, and
found it contained an entire description of \
the fact of landing; and SO. beautiful Ayas the

graduated the lucky adyenturer on his
unusual good fortune. Some people
were uncourteous enough TO think that
he had made his money in a rather
suspicious manner; but on Wednes-
day last the mystery was solved
" hlle Moore was in Clarksville on
some business, he was arrested on a
requlsition from the Governor of Call
norma TO the Governor of this State,
which had been granted, on a charge
OF murder and robbery. 1t appears
that Moore was employed in an ex-
tensivc trading house in California,
and thinking he was not making mo-
ney fast enough, concluded that he
would adopt another plan, and so one
night he murdered his employer, and
robbed him of $4,000, and then "cut
stick" for Missouri. 1t is very pre-
sumable that the old covey will have
hard time of it on his arrival at the
FL Dorado, and instead of his scenes
in California ending with the bright
fancy of golden dreams, he will most
probably play the hero in the popular
tragedy of "Lynch Law; or, the
Hempen Rope"

SUDDEN DEATH.--The past week
has been fruitful of terrible instances
of the effects Of intemperance. San
Francisco has been the scene of two
deaths from excessive drinking, and
the " El Dorado News" records a case
which occurred at Mud Spring The
particulars are given :--"R. L. Clark.
of Connecticut, went to bed on Tues
day night last, at Mud Spring, under
the influence Of liquor. In the morn-
ing he was found dead, and in the
course Of the day was buried. In a
day or two after some persons became
dissatisfied and had the body disin-
tered, and coroner's inquest held.
The jury returned verdict that the
deceased came to his death by the too
free use Of ardent spirits"

The Star says that during the last
year no less than thirty-one murders
have been committed in the city of
Los Angeles and its vicinity, and who
to-day can name one instance in which
murderer has been punished Men
have been arrested for murder, and
proven guilty by evidence the most di-
rect and conclusive, but in every case
they have managed to escape. Pub

to exert themselves, and endeavor to

RS Lady f. s. Hortley, has been
travelling in the United States, and has
gone home and written q book, from
which the following vapid extract is ta-
ken. Such attempts at sketchy wit are
gospel with the great class of English
readers, who, after reading wr itings by
their faithful yoyagers, are undecided
just where to place in the animal crea-
ton, that peculiar kind of being styled
American. English writer's seem to
look upon Ameri cans and their manners
as nondcscript, and evince the same kind
of pertinacious curiosity that the Brob-
dinagians did when they lifted Guli-
ver's oat-tal with their canes, to see
1T was part Of his body. They seem
to think they must say smart things Of
America, and frequently utter nothing
but impertinencc. This is the idea she
gives of
" AMERICAN BoYs.-Look at that boy
that mannikin, with lis hat so knowing
ly on one side, and tie Turkish cimetar-
like boots, and all; he is "a dreadful
bright boy that. You would see him
chew and smoke, if it was not forbidden
in the Tri-mountain city, and hang his
neither limbs out of a railroad car, if you
met him in one, and if he could by posi-
bility lengthen them, SO as to contrive
so to do; or he will tell you, perchance,
with his tiny squeaking voice, "We air
a great people, by thunder the greatest
on the airth, and can do all things double
frst-rate, from blowing up universe
and a-half if it mi>behavcs, to blowing
half soap-bubblc. Now, We'll put the
Atlantic and Pacific in our side pockets
any day, and reduce all Europe to no
whar and grease spot and SO forth !:
and very soon not only this species of
boasting. but other ungraceful Dragging,
which, though yet not so broad, is suai-
cicntly extrayagant, will be entirely
confined to this young America"

WM J. OrsLEY, Of Grass Valley, died
last week, from the effects of an acci-
dental discharge of gun, some weeks
previously. lie was hunting near Au-
burn, with dcuble-barrellcl gun, and
undertook to load one barrel while the
other was loaded and cooked The
charged barrel went of, and shot him
in the forehead, tearing away part Of
tho skull and brain. This melancholy
accident has deprived the ommunity
of a man of high character, and Of cner-
gy and enterprise.
