The Modern Heroine.



The change which has come over the romantic
dreams of the short story writer has been slow
but iasidious. The heroine. whose stGteliness We
loved, has become arch, vivacious and witty to
painful degree. Instead of thrilling US with that
melancholy glance which was supposed to express
in some orthodox manner the yearnings of a
poetic SOUL She now transfXes us with sar
casm. Instead of those conversations magnificent
in hyperbole and lofty in sentiment, We have now
badinage that becomes almost historical in its in
tensity. Her head no longer sinks on her lovers
manly breast as she whispers sweet consent
" A sudden expression almost of pain''-a q cold
rightly of the small lips'-"a mocking,, but sill
very laugh" is all the bashful lover may look for,
Not but that she has sentiment, but it is of
singularly perpleSing and eXasperatng quality
she has way of looking at you with strange,
dumb eyes her glance is - trance-iien and
& far otf'-she is "sybelile, y" fateful." She is
no longer beautiful, but singular looking" 1t
may be easily imagined that heroine of this
order would notbe satisfied with that one devoted
lover which in former times was her predestined
partner She loves two. She is two or three
times engaged. She is justified by philosophy
borrowed from our beloved Gallo friends. She
has all the benefit Of those " eNtenuatug cirCum-
| stances" which French poetical justice admits
eqaly as its literature and law. The modern
short story gives us details, where formerly we
had mere glttering generalities
The dress of our heroine is described with fe-
minnie precision; the writer no longer trusts to
white muslin and g simple rOsebuds for the hair.
! In the matter of accomplishments the same care
is displayed. Our heroine no longer allows her
fingers to run caTeessly the piano while she
listens to her lovers conversation she deliberate
ly sits down to Chopin or Schubert. Weare forced
olisten toan enthusiastic criticism of Beethoven.

The potato rot has made its appearance in
Iowa. Upon close and repeated examination, it
has been ascertained that a small insect in the
vine Of the potato is the cause of the mischief.
This insect is very dminutive in size, and is gen
orally found head downward. 1t is supposed to
enter the top of the vine while it is tender and
growing rapidly and works its way down into the
potato while very small, thus depositng the germ

ANOTHER CoNyENTIoN.-From one of the
m0st--if not the most-inhuenal of the leaders
of the radical Republicans learn that the radl-
Gals intend, in the present campaign; to execute
the following flank movement upon the National
Union party. They propose shortly, to hold
convention at which platform will be adopted
offering to the South all that the Philadelphia
convention has offered, and in addition conserving
to abrogate the Congressional test oath, and DIS
tinctIy commit themselves to the admission Of
Southern representatives without any reference to
their anteoedents; and for these concessions
they ask the extension of the elective
franchise to the negroes under such re-
strictions and qualifications as are required
in New York and other Northern States where
the black population is enfranchised under Ger
tain limitations. This while admitting the prin'
ciple of negro suffrage, would be OF little prac'
teal value to the freedmen for many years to
come, as very few of them could qualify for the
franchise under any considerable restriction il
regard to property. The radicals claim that the
best minds of the South favor this proposition
and regard it as the snrest and speediest process
for the political rehabilitation of their section
We simply suggest that if the radicals and con
SENTATIVE Republicans, and in fact all the potica
organizations of the North, are already biddinl
for Southern votes there is good hope that tn
South will soon get its own IN. Y. News, 18th

FINE CORN.

Our fellow-t w-townsman, BIAS Fl. BEAsLEY, ex-
hbts few samples Of his crop of corn raised this
year, Ito be seen in this ofice) which beats any
thing we ever remember to have seen. The ears
of corn sent US average thirteen inches in length,
and eight inches in circumference. Several OF the
ears were sixteen inches long. The corn was hled
out fully and perfectly from one end of the cob to
the other Some of this corn, Mr.. Is. assures US,
was grown upon upland, and some upon the bot
toms, on the farm he is cultivating near the vii
lape. This does not look like hard times by any
means. Our friend will certainly have corn to
sell, if he planted to any extent this year. Who
can beat him this wet-dry year? What do you
think of this corn tale, brother Anderson) inteH'-
gencer?
Why, that it is very poor tale, brother Herald.
One of our friends-we will not mention his name,
for fear you are as we'll acquainted with him as
we are with B1. BEAsLEY-living about mile, mile
and half, or two miles from town, has informed
us that there is growing upon his place NAM
moth stalk of corn, containing eight ears, either
of which will measure eighteen inches in length,
and large round in proportion. The corn is equal
to the best production of the fertile West, and was
raised so far upon the spring branch bottom lie
thinks the late rains have renewed its growth, and
until it fully natures We will not attempt precise
measurement. We hav'nt seen this wonderful
freak of nature, and promise when our friend
brings in this sample of his crop, ut full maturity,
to notify the Herald that all doubts may be set at
reet

of public opinion be had, not only in reference to
the proceedings of that body at the late session,
but also in regard to matters that win be brought

sentiments of the people should be made known
and fully understood by their representatives but
more especially is it SO in times like the present.

The members of this organization, as well as
others who may desire to unite in the praisewor-

Gen. ELLISON CAPERs, appeared in the appeal yes

Your Association will convene atthe Court House
on Tuesday, 9th inst. At this meeting, it is ex-

campaigns of the war feel himself bound in honor
to be the fast friend of those who, by the fall OF
his comrades are bereft of protection in this our
time of greatest want. God, in His mercy, has
preserved us, and let us do what we can to perpet-

who sleep forever on our battle fields; and in ex-
preston of our thankfulness for our return to our
cherished families let us visit and relieve as far
as we may, the wants and suferings of homes,
now desolate, in the absence Of those who fell by
our sides.

SALEDAY.

There was very large attendance Of citizens on
Monday last, and the town was quite lively during
the day, especially when the effects of bad liquor
became apparent. No serious difficulties occurred
although there was an exciting scene for few mo-
ments, caused by some parties in pursuit of q ne
gro, who had given cause for breach of the peace
: The sales attracted unusual interest from the
:: crowd, notwithstanding the inability Of many TO
become purchasers when the cash was required
The Sheriff knocked off one tract Of land at less
than ST per acre. That officer also sold an old
mare for SIG, but made up for the deficit by OBJ
tanning about S55 for the colt, two years Old Re-
auiring cash payment, the Sheriff offers decided
bargains. The Commissioner, however, gives
some indulgence occasionally, and several tracts OF
land under his hammer brought excellent prices
in most instances from the legatees.
Altogether, the liveliness and interest Of the day
was particularly refreshing, in these gloomy dOlo
rous, croaking, melancholy times.

AM ALARMINe DISEASE.

THE appearance of new order of disease is SO
striking in this community that we are constrained
4o warn our fsllow-citizens against its ravages-
Already the spread of this contagion is so alarm
snr as to pronounce it IN epidemic at the present
moment, and fears are entertained that, like the
deadly malady of the desert-wind, all will wither
before lis prostrating power. Professors OF the
healing art ore unconscious Of its effects and even
lis presence ofttimes, and they have failed to de-
nominate the malady among the ills of life. Be-
cause of this singular omission their part, there
ia TO- remedy known to pharmacy to alleviate the
ranes and throes Of the dreadful scourge. 1t is
entirely connected with the brain and renders the
s,,farer fsehs and enervated in the shortest posi-
bls time succeeding the attack. The symptoms
are discsrnible by desire to pirate of oonfscation,
determination, equal suffrage, and the like, and
cannot be better designated than by the expressive
name of the nRApIcALs" Wheneyerit seizes, with
fearful faags, the unconscious 7ictim all else is
forgotten, business neglected, and tho atmosphere
IN o political sense becomes dull and oppressive
II you would avoid this singular contagiou, be
cheerful, look on the bright side of things, and
carve in letters of gold upon the escutcheon of
youp homes the brave motto, Nil DesperGnduns-
otherwise, succumb to the affection, and render
miserable and unhappy those around you. Have
YOU got the Radicals ?

EQUALITY I'M LEGISLATION.

Whom men legislate, we like to see them pass
laws for the benefit of all classes of society alike
the poor as well as the h-the individual as well
as corporations. The action of the Legislature in
postponing the Session of the Court, until next
Spring, whether so intended or not, will operate
chiefly to the advantage of the rich, and of banks
and other corporations Is not man, who owes
five hundred or FIVE thousand dollars, as much en-
titled to pay his debt, as the man who is not able
to owe more than twenty or one hundred dollars II
the property of the farmer should not be brought
to sale, neither should that of the latter. Why
then did not the Legislature, forbid Magistrates
and the District Courts to collect debts, until next
Spring? "
