What ,oiV he do with 1t ?" is the title of new
story by Sir E. Bulwer Lyton. now appearing in the
pages Of Harper's Weekly. As . novelist Lytton
stands at the present day almost without rival
the palm of superiority though is hotly contested by
Dickens and Thackeray. The opening chapters Of
this story not only sustain but add fresh laurels to
his brilliant reputation. His keen perception Of
character, his grace, ease and vgor OF description.
can but make an impression on the most desutory
reader And not only so, but we cannot read chap
ter without finding some wholesome truth, and with.
ont deriving moral ad, antage, az well as intellectual
aliment. How different most Of the novels with
which the press is teeming! They are without any
useful purpose they merely pander to the tastes of
a corrupted public sentiment, and are aimIess be-
ing extracts from What oiU he do seith it," and
If you do not agree with in saying that they con-
tain true sentiments most eoquenty expressed, why
we differ in tastes-thats all:
"There are living human faces which, in.
dependently Of mere physical beauty. charm and
enthrall US more than the most perfect lineaments
which Greek sculpture ever lent to a marble face
there are key notes in the thrilling human voice,
simply uttered, which can haunt the heart, rouse
the passions, lull rampant multitndes, shake into
dust the thrones of guarded kings, and effect more
wonders than have ever yet been wrought by the
most artful chorus or the deftest quill"
On Tears he holds the following noble language:
swell did the sternest of Roman writers
place the arch distinction of humanity, aloft from
all meaner of heavens creatures, in the prerogative
Of tears! Shallow Judges Of human nature they
are who think that tears in themselves misbecome
boy or even man. Sooner mayest thou trust thy
purse to professional pck.pocket than give loyal
friendship to the man who boasts of eyes to which
the heart never mounts in dew! Only, when man
weeps he should be alone-not because tears are
weak, but because they should be sacred. Tears
are akin to prayers Pharisees parade prayers; i'm
spostors parade tears ]"
Again, and let all remember: for it is worth re-
membering--the following truth:
- 'He who would keep his brain clear, his
step elastic his muscles from freshness, his nerves
from tremor-n a word, retain his youth in spite Of
the register-should beware of long slumbers. No.
thing ages like Msiness."
Lytton is ffty-seven years old, in the meridian Of
his glory, and in full vigor of his mighty intellect
His surname was changed from Bulwer. Perhaps
this will be an item of news to some who have new.
er been able to explain why he sometimes passes
under one name and then the other. l

1874, why may he not also give credence to VIM.
Wilson and Adoniram Allen as to the visit of 1885
Dr.. Mitchell also measured the highest peak Of
the Black Mountain in 1886. . -'.-
There is no necessity to dwell on this fact long
now. The peak that Dr. Mitchell visited in 1886 he
determined to be 550S feet above Morganton. This
town he estimated 96S feet above the sea. So in
1885 he published the height of the highest peak to
be 6476 feet above the level of the ocean, But, as
Mr.. Clingman remarks in his publication of June
2Sth 1856. the late R. r survey shows that Morgan
be used as the result of the visit of 1885. Corrob
Grafton of this determination can be derived from
Major Turner's measurement with the Spirit Level,
last September, when he found the highest peak to
have elevation of GIL feet. Prof Guyot too, in
1856, with a Barometer assigned to this peak ell
ovation of 6701 feet But Mr.. Clingman. in his let
ter to Prof. Henry of Oct Goth 1856 decides this peak
to be gal feet high and remarks that this height may
be subject to some deduction, but not to an extent
to affect materially this estimate
l hope that this testimony, even when thus
abridged will forever establish it as truth that in
1885 DR.. Mitchell deliberately selected, successfully
assembled and accurately measured the highest peak
Of the Black Mountain. now turn to the addition
.l claim by DR.. Mitchells friends viz. that in
formity with q very common usage, which in this case
has been already begun and is very widely adopted
the name Of Mt Mitchell should be continued as the
Mountain. IfLong or Fremont could by pointing out
TO their companies, and guessing at without climb
iog and measuring, give their names and determine
lions to high masses in the Rocky Mountains, sure
y our own professor may have his name attached to
asingle peak Of . without disturbance from his
old pupils. But Of this claim Mr. Cngman writes in
bis letter Of Sept 18th The story that the name Of

ting when denied, that he Or. NJ first discovered
visited and measured the highest peak of the Black
Mountain. This claim, in which Dr. Mitchell never
fatered for one moment his friends now reiterate:
claim, viz: that this highest peak should still be- az
it hitherto has been, called Mt. Mitchell.
DR.. Mitchell discovered the highest peak of the
Black fountain in 1886.
That he did bis evident on comparing Dr. Mitche's
description of the horizon formed by the Black Noun
tain as seen from Yeates' Knob in 1885. with the
profile drawn by Prof. Guyot at the same place in
1856 The description gives precisely the same re.
presentation OF the location and connection of the
highest peak that the profile does; and both are
doubtless true. Prof. Guyot, Prof Henry, Mr.. Lam
man, and other gentlemen who have seen. or have
in their possession true copies Of both these papera
can corroborate this important fact tits well known
that this selection Of the highest peak Of the Black
mountain was made in the presence Of Samuel Aus.
tin and William Wilson, two worthy citizens of Yam.
cey, who still survive their companion of July 9th.
1880. Of this self cton Samuel Austin said on the
2lst Of last July, )" DR.. Mitchell staid at nv house
eight days during the time when be was making an
examination OF the mountains went with him to
Yeates Knob, and saw him take the bearings of the
high peak from that point" And again on the 2sth
Of last October Mr. Austin testified, al went with
Dr. Mitchell and VIM. Wilson to Yeates' Knob in
1885 and saw Dr.. Mitchell select the peak which he
intended ascending the next day, and believe he
se,ecteo the peak now known 90 the highest peak
VI this same trip Mr.. Wilson said on the 22nd Of
last July. II went with Dr. Mitchell to the tor Of
