Rare Bravery.

The editor of the BuH'uio E.rpleSS
is brave man. and in common with
all cowardly people, we do admire
bravery. His, too, is of kind so
rare that we admire it all the more.
When the floods are abroad upon
the earth and the ice is piled in great
.jams'-icebergs on land, and some
one is heroic enough to risk the dan
ger Of drowning or freezing in order
to rescue others from II like fate. our
hearts thrill with great appreciation
of this genuine valor. and we ask our
selves, perhaps, "could we do so?"
An article in the papers, headed
~ Rough Diamond" "Bad Bill Ca
sey.' relates that when this man, in
some respects, perhaps in many, Il
bad man, had escaped with others
from burning car Ovcrthrown in a
river, he heard the cry of newsboy,
too little to get out as the others did,
and he, Casey, returned into the car
to save him. He did not save him
both lost their lives. Lost! No;
whatever it may have been for the
newsboy, Casey saved his. Saved it
from ignominy and worthlessness,
from reproach and shame, from mis-
cradle ending toward which he seemed
tending; saved from all after sin that
he might have committed, by the mer-
ciful appeal to that in him which was
good and noble, and that took him
away at his best"
We know nothing of this man, save
this one newspaper account, so have
taken 1t as it stands. The paper
says he was devotedly attached to
his mother, who died about year
ago. That was another good thing
in him.
But it was not of this kind of bra
very that We began to write. We all
admire this. some Of uz might emu

had been heartily fed with gigantic
sandwiches. They went through
their little recitations, singing, &c,
exceedingly well. We were obliged
to cut them short, however, for the
room was crowded as | really think
| never saw room crowded in my
life. l cannot help quoting the last
song, which was received with great
applause. "The children in the
schools of Vermont" said the EUen-
ing Post some months ago, sing the
following verse;"
If anything on earth can make
great and glorious nation,
1t is to give the little ones
A thorough education.
Five times five are twenty-five,
Five times six are thirty,
Five times seven are thirty-five
And five times eight are forty.
The English class sang the first
verse and the school the chorus.
After which followed
Yankee Doodle leaves his home,
Comes across the ocean,
Bringing to our ancient Rome
Many modern notion.
Five times five &c.
SO We close our little song,
And to make it handy,
You see it is not very long,
Our Roman Doodle Dandy.

Mrs. Mary Hewitt had written a
little account of the schools, which
was read by Mr.. Ticknor. Mrs.
Hewitt concludes with an appeal in
aid of the schools, which has already
done something towards replenishing
the treasury, exhausted as it was by
the expenses Of the summer and
autumn months. She adds:
Teach, oh teach the little children,
They are yours to mould at will
In the children lies the future,
All the future, good and i'll;
Teach them, train them into beauty,
Love of God and human duty.
Many distinguished Italians as
well as others were present at our
fete, wishing to lend their counte-
nance to the enterprise, which we are
happy to say daily gains the approb-
alton and confidence Of the cmmunity,
perhaps because, while its moral and
religious teaching IS one of its most
important features, pains are taken
to so profit by long experience as not
to shock national prejudices.

Charles Eea1e.

Many papers contain more or less
of the controversy, legal as we'll as
wordv, between Charles Reade and
various newspapers which have pre-
sumcd to say what they think about
the indecencies in his books, chiefly
just now about a play called "Shilly-
shally,' which was characterized as
mot fit for decent people to sit
through" We should not suppose
decent people would attempt it-af-
ter reading anything of his.
Why anybody in this country
should publish his writings; why re-
spectacle publishers like Harpers
should let his writings out upon the
reading public through their pages,
is mystery.
Perhaps he may have written some
works that are unObiectionable, but
one does not want to read every book
of \ voluminOus author after two or
three have proved very bad in order
to find this out. And we think his
writings show him to be at once too
vulgar and corrupt to he accepted as
contributor to any of our house
hold literature. Many object stren-
uouSlyto such authorship, and though
few, perhaps, rclinquish valued mag
azine or paper because so contami-
mated, such REIMBURSEMENT is often
seriously thought of and his sto,u
never looked at.
We hear great deal about French
novels and yellow-covered literature.
Not being acquainted with these we
cannot say but some of them may be
worse than Charles Reade, but there
is no need they should be.

A LITTER from Rome to the n. Y.
Evening Post, speaking Of the Italian

We are having a bit of winter; not

speech of ten minutes in length to
each Delegate. Yesterday resolu-
ton was adopted AZ to 37 to hold
two sessions day after Monday next,
to wit, from 10 till 2 and from to 6.
The important committees have re-
ported and there is no longer any OBJ
stacle to continuous and thorough
work. trust the Convention is about
to redeem itself from the mistakes of
its earlier action, or rather non-actiOn,
and that the conceded good inten-
tions of it's members will now mani
fest itself practically and with effect.
A section was adopted in commit
tee of the whole, a few days ago, max
ing women elegible to the office of
school director. Good judges main
tain that they are elegible to that po-
sition under the Constitution as now
in force, but as there is some doubt
on the subject it is well to insert a
clear provision removing all doubts.
As large majority of the teachers
of the State are women, it is difficult
to imagine any good reason why they
should not be elegible to the office of
school director.
In committee Of the whole the ques-
ton of adhering to the present con-
stitutional provision restricting every
city to four senators has been dis
cussed for several days. a vote was
reached to-day and the restriction
was sustained by vote of 40 to 81.
The Philadelphia Delegates struggled
hard, but the good sense of the ma
jOrity could not be shaken, and |
think the Convention will adhere to
the decision of the committee of the
whole. 1t would be strange if it did
not, for it has been a part of the Con
stitution of the State since 1890; and
no evil has resulted from it.
The committee Of the whole has
now under discussion the question of
how many members shall compose
the Legislature. The Indications are
that a considerable increase will be
made. "The weight of argument"
as the chairmen of debates used to
say, seem to be on the side of large
increase.
The Philadelphia Delegates are
very much disappointed at the vote
adhering to the old clause restricting
the representatives of large cities in
the Senate. 1t is natural. but the re-
striction is founded on necessity and
ought to continue. =.

SPAIN

II L IN
The news from Spain is rather per-
picking. We read of the invasion by
Don Carlos and various uprisings in
his favor. That he is said to be at
Vera, in Navarro, having withdrawn
across the Spanish frontier, and that
he has issued a proclamation calling
on the National troops to come to
their king.
Another dispatch says, "His where
abouts is at present unknown
There was a severe battle between
the government forces and 1900 Car
lists who fought desperately but were
repulsed by the government forces.
The weight of testimony seems to
be in favor Of the success and perpe-
tuity of the Republic. The Minister
of Justice is soon to present to the
Assembly bill for the abolition of
capital punishment. In addition to
the movements Of Don Carlos there
are the claims Of the son of Queen
Isabella and the Duke de MOntpen-
sier, which are to be united and make
common cause against the Republic.
but which it is hoped will not amount
to anything very serious.
Here is the programme:
LONDON, Feb. -, 1873.-An agree
ment has been made between the
Duke de Montpensier and the adhe-
rents of the eX-queen Isabella to place
Prince Al phOnsO upon the throne of
Spain, the Duke to be Regent during
the minority of Prince Alphonso and
the latter to marry the youngest
daughter Of the Duke. Isabella ac-
cepts the programme, and two impor-
tant parties, therefore, will act to-
gether in the present crisis.
Later accounts represent the Car
list cause as becoming more formid-
able. and all reports go to show that
the new Republic will have plenty of
diflicultyin becoming fairly establish
ed. Our own country, France and
Switzerland have shown it kindly en-
oo,,u- 81, ,augh France declines
to help with arms. helc are some
items of news with regard to it:
GREAT BRITAIN, March 3.-Vis-
count Enfield, Under Secretary for
the Foreign Department, answering
an inquiry from Mr.. Whitwell, stated
that it was the unanimous opinion of
the Cabinet that no government adj
mitting Of recognition had been es-
tablished in Spain.
PARIS, March 3.-Thiers has issued
rigorous orders to prevent the intro
duction of arms into Spain across the
French frontier,
WASHINGTON, d. c., March s.
Mr.. Banks, Chairman of the Commit
tee on Foreign affairs, reported from
that committee joint resolution ten
dering, i'll the name and on behalf of
the American people and Congress,
congratulations to the people Of Spain
on their recent efforts to consolidate
the principles of universal liberty in
republican form of government, and
requesting the President to transmit
this resolution with instructions to
present it to the Spanish government.
Passed without division.

is met with regret by all literary

n9-place and refuge. Where else

have the same charm.

another kind far more rare. In an
article on Poetry and Science in
England and America" he says:
Tennyson is, by universal consent,
the first of English poets; yet he has
never written a verse that would
make anybody cry, nor laugh nor
swear, nor do anything else but sigh
very gently and say: "Those are real
nice words" The difficulty is not
that his verses are polished, but that
the polish is all there is of them. 1t
is not the polish which, by removing
crudities, uncovers the native bril-
liancy of the diamond, but that which
by main strength is rubbed on to the
British oak. Even in his own pecu-
liar vein he seldom or never touches
the heart, and when he leaves the
twilight oftradition, of that Arthurian
time which is neither history nor life,
his deficiencies become still more ap-
parent.
Even i'll his own speciality of word
painting his mannerisms cover up
what little poetical genius he may
have had. As a Temysonianist he
is success, but us an English poet
he is failure. Yet it is the fashion
in England to have great poet; SO
they call Tennyson a great poet.
Browning is as mannerish as the
Laureate; but his is the mannerism
Of crudeness instead Of smoothness.
There may be something wonderful
(many people say there is) inside of
Browning's diabolical contrivances
for hiding his meaning. If there is,
it is like the gold in good many
mines; it takes five dollars worth of
labor to get out ten cents worth Of
the precious metal.
1t is our deliberate decision that
no poetry ought to be harder than
algebra. A line must be drawn
somewhere. and we draw it at alge-
bra. 1t is more work to read one of
Browning's poems than it is to cal
culate an eclipse, while, in our opin-
ion, poetry ought to be as easy to
take as post office.
We think this is saying rather too
much with regard to Tennyson, but
we admire the daring of it.
With regard to Browning's poetry,
it always did make us feel wonder
fully stupid and little, because we
could not ''appreciate" it; CHATS the
word and it is much the same to
find some one else in the same diff
Guilty. as it is to child poring hope
lessly over its first examples in alge-
bra, when some or rrr .n..v
there y 4 misprint in the statements.
Some good words for American
poetry are spoken too:
We may have no great poets in
America, but we have many real po-
cts. Scores of persons with almost
unknown names have drawn true
melody from many a simple theme.
The New England girl who writes
over the name of Lucy Larcom is an
example of these.
In the works of nearly every Amer
lean who has any reputation at all as
a poet Except Walt Whitman), we
find scores of simple yet poetical ex-
pressiOns which touch the feelings
and warm the hearts of their readers.
Whittier is at once the best and most
prominent exemplar of this bright,
lyrical quality, SO common in Amer
ica. He has never written what is
called a great poem, but every page,
almost every verse, of his works con-
tains some poetical expression,
some simple appeal to the human
heart worth all the laborcd lustre of
Tennyson, or the labor without lus-
tire of Browning.

PROTECTION AND FREE TRADE.-In-
disputable statistics of England's for
eign trade are cited by Mr.Hcnry c.
Cary, in new work upon the tariff,
from which it appears that her trade
with resistant countries, or those
maintaining protective tariffs, is grow
ing far more rapidly than with those
which cling to free trade. The pro-
tected countries are getting rich the
fastest, and. therefore, are the best
customers for even the would-be uni
versal workshop. This, Mr.. Cary
thinks, proves that the nations which
resort to the protective policy not
only benefit themselves, but their
neighbors, England especially, and
consequently that the latter country
has committed an egregious economic
blunder, both in adopting free trade
herself and in striving to force it on
all of the rest the world Working
Man.

burned to the ground. The building
was two stories high, partially frame
and partially brick, and built in the
gothic style of architecture 1t was
about twelve or thirteen years old, and
and was probably worth $4,000 or
s 5000. The furniture was partially
saved. The stables in the rear, which
contained valuable stud of horses,
were not touched by the flames. Presi-
dent Grant was informed of the confla-
grafton by a telegram yesterday after
noon.-MiSSO3n'i D0mocrM.
THE New York HeraId'S Washing
ton correspondent writes:
''There was remarkable scene in the
House when Speaker Blaine arose and
asked that the section fixing the salary
of the Speaker at 5 $4,000 should not be
retrospective, and asked that the word
hereafter be inserted. Mr.. Blaine was
aCtuated in this by motives of delicacy.
He stated that at the last time the
Speakers salary had been settled on an
equal footing with the Vice President
and the members of the Cabinet. but
this bill gave him for the present term
higher salary than those officers. He
hoped that there would be unanimous
consent to the interlining of the word
hereafter, so that the salary of the
Speaker shall be s So 900 after the pres
ent session. There was much objection
from both sides of the House, but upon
urgent request he succeeded in his de-
sire of keeping the increase of salary
out of his pocket this session. In these
degenerate times, when so many Con-
gressmen are 50 earnestly pursuing their
little 'rakes, the shining example of
Speaker Blaine stands out in bold relief
as one worth of intimation."
