wrote the Song Of Hiawatha.' The rarity Of tho
measure, the novelty Of the subject, the beauties
of the poetry, the fearful difficulties of the Indi-
an names, and the remarkable facility of imita-
ton set the whole nation talking about it. There
never was anything easy to parody, and
good parody is known tn be much more valuable
to an author than good puff. A poem that can
stand the test of ridcule can safely risk the test
of sober critiscism, and poem that can create
controversy is sure to have great sale. 1t is
stated that over thirty thousand copies of tho
Song of Hiawatha' have been already sold and
this is quite up to the sale of Uncle Toms Cab
in during like period Of time. The profits of
such sale must console the author for all that
he has suffered from the pens of parodists and
critics. lie can afford to be accused of plaeiar.

A STRANGER AT HoME.-A gentleman from

long absent that he was stranger to his kim
bred and his home He had been gone TWEEN
ty-two years and at one period, for seven sue
cecsive years, did not even receive a letter from
this country. Twenty-Five years is large
piece of mans life, and in that time great
changes not only come to himself, but likewise
to such countries as the United States and Aus
tralia. He arrived at New York one week
ago, but it was not the New York he had left
the young city in the meantime has attained "a
monster growth. He started upon his land
tacks in the cars but never had he seen rail-
roads before, except little piece of one, hard
ly deserving the name, at Melbourne. Boston
had been familiar to his eyes in youth but
even Boston, more staid than New York, has
undergone great changes since 1884. If they
had all taken place at once, as they seemed to
have done to him, Boston would be surprised
at itself. He left young sisters in the home of
his father-but the sisters were married and
had daughters as old as they themselves were.

eaJr Nothing efftc,uaIly destroys tn"
character and influence Of a State as that poll
icy which elevatcs incompetent men to official
position. This is SO clear fact, that it proves
itself. Men make the State, and no, the State
men. Virginia, South Carolina, and we may
with truth say all the Southern States and many
of the Western, act with the full consciousness
that TO obtain respect all over the Union. they
must encourage intellect, and then State pride
will surely follow.
