Perverted Literary Taste.

From the Manchester (Vt) Journal
For some months past the papers and maya
zines throughout the country have been
ringing the praises of two, so-called, brilliant
literary stars, Bret Harte and j. Hay, until it
seemed as though this ''dialect" literature and
trashy, if not sacrilegious verse, was to take
the place of everything sensible and elevating.
and that profanity was actually poetry. L
think it time that the press should wake up to
a sense of its duty, and boldly decry anything
so debasing as this style of poetry must be,
and which will in time be SO looked upon by
every right-minded person.
The New York Kgeniag Post gives recipe
for producing the sensational poetry above
spoken of, which carries its own rebuke with
it, which enclose:-
Take for your hero some thoroughbred scamp,
: Miner, or pilot, or jockey, or tramp
Gambler (ol cOurse) drnnkard, bully, and cheat.
"Fdeie PTinceps. in ways OF deceit
So fond OF ladies, he's given to bgomy.
Better perhaps, II you MAKE 1t poygamy-
Pepper his talk with the raciest slang
Culled from the haunts OF his rude, vulgar gang!
Serve him up hot In your dialect" verses
Properly dished he'll excite asensation,
And tickle the taste OF our delicate nation.
Old Mother English has twaddled enough;
Give us a language that's ready and rough!
who cares Just now for subject Mutonian?
Who isn't bored by style Addisonian?
Popular heroes must wear shabby clothes!
What II their dietion is numbered with Oaths?
That's but feature OF Life Occidental
Really at heart they are pOus and gentle.
Think for example. how solemn ana rich is
The sermon we gather from dear 'Lttle Breeches :"
Isn't it charming-that sweet baby-talk
OF the urchin who 'chawed' ere he fairly could
walk?
Sure it's no wonder bright spirits above
Singled him out for their errand OF lovel
suppose Pm a 'fOgy"-nOt up 10 the age
But can't help recalling an earlier stage,
| When Poet meant something beyond Reporter,
And his lines could be read TO sister or daughter
! When a real inspiration (diUinus Gtatus)
| Could be printed without any saving hiatus
| When humor was decently shrouded In rhyme,
| AS suited the primitive ways OF the time,
| And we all would have blushed had we dreamed ol
| the rules
Which are taught rs to-day in our DIALECT schools

The presidents proclamation has had a
very good effect on the South Carolina ku-
kux, aud many Of them are coming in youn-
tarily and surrendering themselves to the
United States marshal. They acknowledge
themselves freed and are only too willing to
come down without any shooting on the part
Of the government. Several of the kuklux
confined in the Albany penitentiary are also
becoming very humble and profess willing
ness to disclose all they know Of the order
and its evil works. We wish we could be-
lieve the days Of kukluxism were numbered,
but, however vigorous the general govern
ment, it is only the Southern people them
selves that can efectually stamp out the ku-
kux, and generally speaking they do not yet
exhibit that adherence Of the order and its
outrages that We should like to see.

Robert Collyer and his church are to be
cared for Immediately. After listening day
or two since to an account Of the fire, from
Samuel Creole, a well known native of Boston,
and member Of the " Unity" congregation
in Chicago, the Executive Committee of the
American Unitarian Association voted three
thousand dollars towards Mr.. Collyer's sal.

present the effort they were about to make to
obtain funds to erect National Unitarian
Church in Washington City, and to appeal to
the denomination for fifty thousand dollars to

The accounts published Of the fires in west
crn woods and on western prairies, involving
western towns, villages, aud farms, SHOW that
as whole, they are fully equal in terror and
desiruciiyencss to the Chicago calamity. Az
ter making all allowance for the exaggeralon
that is natural under such ysitations, it is
clear as flames eau make it that the people Of
large parts Of the Northwest have been sub
jcctcd TO evils that are without precedent and
parallel. Wisconsin aud Michigan bear the
weight Of these evils, though some other
States do not altogether escape. It is assert
ed that the fires were not caused by human
carclcssncss as was at first supposed to be the
ease, but by an electrical tornado which de.
siroyod everything in it, courso--a course of
wind and fire, exceeding anything told Of the
deadly .amiel. This, however is told only Of
the Wisconsin fires, and more than 1900
persons, it is added were burned to death in
the tornados track, which was ten miles wide.
The loss of life through all those fires must
be large, but perhaps the dead are the most
fortunate Of the victims, as the survivors,
stripped Of everything, even to their skins,
have an iron winter before them, that must
be full Of misery, the only harvest it can
yield The destruction Of property is euor-

among the wanderers, as it calls once every

departure is 3S7, 100000 miles, or about four
times as far away as the earth. The peculiar
interest attached to this comet lies in the fact
that in the past eighty years its period Of
