MIR. Carlyle In the Rapids OF Niagara.
From the ~. Y Independent.
Bewilderment, when not too stunning, is a
pleasing sensation. 1t pricks the mind into
a delightful activity; it wraps ones facul-
ties with a cool and bracing sea-mist of agree
able doubts; it is, in fact, a genuine refresh
ment for a languid summerday.
For instance, on such a sultry forenoon
as the one that now finds us driving our
accustomed editorial pen--an occupation
which, at this season, men in more favored
professions can exchange for bluefsh-we
find ourselves under obligation to our old
friend, Mr.. Thomas Carlyle, for a variety of
cool, refreshing, bewildering, exquisite sensa-
tions, consequent upon reading his last lucu-
bration entitled "Shooting Niagara; and
After l' No bluefsh at Fire Island is so full
of game as our stiff and stubborn old friend,
Mr.. Carlyle. A perusal of his last paper has
made our very nerves tingle with merriment,
indignation, pride, and grief. The venerable
philosopher is still full of grandeur, conceit,
folly, wisdom, nobility, and meanness. There
is no man like him. When he dies and is
buried, let his name not be forgotten for
nature will never reproduce his like; and If
he is lost from remembrance, he is lost to the
world forever.
Apparently the object of Mr.. Carlyles latest
lucubration is to protest against Democracy.
He begins with America, and ends with Eng
land, ridiculing whatever is noblest in the
democratic tendencies of both. He is, perhaps,
the only distinguished literary man now living
who spells negro with two gs. We have not
counted. but we make rough estimate that
he says "nigger" about hundred times. For
instance, he wants to know whether a
s1Ouasbea Niooer'' is equal 10 HSoerates or
Shakespeare.H OF course mott for Quashee
niger, like Mr.. Carlyle himself cannot Justly
be called equal to Socrates or Shake
