This is simple brutality, 7. !. -. 49,,

This is simple brutality. 1t is not merelv
unwomanly, 1t is inhuman. We revolt at Il as
at the man who kicks his dead enemy. George
Arnold may have written wishy wsshy verse
so Gail Hamilton has written a great deal of
wishy washy and rather coarse prose-but Ie
has also written some things so sweet and tGue
and tender that they will live, and deserve to
live, in mems memories long after his poor dust
has mingled with its kindred dust,-live to
show how much better than that worn clay for
winch he cared so little was the spirit which
once animated it. But even were all that lie
nas written worthless the world has no quarrel
wiih MN because of it, and it may be safely
left to find its own oblivion. The "silly senti-
mentality" OF wishing to be laid inthe grave in
silence is quality far less hurtful in the world
than the harsh, unfeeling pharisaism of the
paragraph we have quoted.
We note these things with the more pain be-
cause their author is in the main kindly and
true hearted. Her impulses are apt to be gen.
erous, her sympathies quick and warm, despite
the bluntness other speech. We were about
about to compare her to chestnut which en-
closes within its prickly covering nature
sweet and sound, but while We admit the
soundness we fail to find the sweetness
and on consideration we arc inclined
to substitute the New England butter
nut, good, rich and wholesome, but with
slight bitter tang in in nevertheless. We can
| not refrain from commencing to her special
attention the truth she has well expressed in
the following extract from the volume before
us. On page % we read:
| So doubly pity is it when woman misbe-
| haves, pity for the wrong she does to herself,
| but pity thousand times more for the wrong
| thus put upon those TO whom she should be
| the embodiment of benefcence. The defer
| ence which men show to women is no mere
| chance, civlity, custom, or compliment, how
| ever they intend it. 1t is instinotive and il
| shows where woman has underground to
work upon humanity. When she fails to meet
this outcOming reverence with a correspond
ing worthiness, her failure Is mans loss. Gem
| tie or vulgar, his soul is wounded in its most
| delicate suscaptibilities, although he may not
know it. The harsh blow blunts his sensibili-
| ty to the soft touch. a.,I.,...

THE DEATH OF GEN. MEAGHER. A cores
pondent of the st. Paul tAiinn.) Press gives
the following account Of the recent drowning
of Gen. T. f. Meagher at Fort Benton, Mon

He arrived in Benton during the day from
the Sun river, where he had been on spree
for about week and was suffering very much
from. the effect of his late debauch. DE IN
miles distant, and for that purpose went on
board the G.. A. Thomas, which was going
down the river next morning: He was then
given room and put to bed, but did not re-
main there more than ten minutes, when he
burst out of the back door and jumped over
board, and was drowned before any assistance
could be rendered. The night being dark and
the current swift he disappeared at once. A
reward of 5000 has been offered for the re-
coverS of his. body. b.bil3 lstfi ar

A Prediction.

: Mr.. Editor,-I have been somewhat amused
with what the Argus has said about Gen. Grant
within few weeks past. This Journal is ex-
ceedingly anxious to do something to obtain
prestige and power, and how to do it is the
great and perplexing question. Now let me
cast a horoscope. 1 predict that the Argus,
il few weeks or months at most, will return
to its original belief that Grant was butcher
and the war he conducted failure.
