New AuthOreSx.

Several mouths ago the Baltimore
Sun offered 81 200 in graded prices
for six stories. Two hundred and six
were received, showing how many,
many people aspire to be authors; and
the committee to decide on the merits
of each, awarded the reward price of
$275 to Miss Sue W. Hubbard, of Buck
ingham county, Virginia, for her story
called 'rwo Sides Of the Question.
This story is highly spoken of, and
is thought to be the precursor of what
the reading public is always Interested
in-the rise of a new star in the literary
armament.
The success of Miss Hubbard is of
peculiar interest to the people of North
Carolina; for sue is descendant of
Willie Jones of Halifax, who was one
of North Carolina's most distinguished
sons in his day and generation. His
wife was noted for her lovliness, her
talents, and brilliancy Of wit. There
are few North Carolinians who cannot
recall her celebrated reply to Tarleton
when he attempted to slnr an Amer
lean officer.
The gifted descendant of this dis
tinguished couple, has many friends
and relations in this city AMI North
Carolina, generally, who feel an inter
est in her success; and hope that her
signal triumph oyer the ninety writer's
who commended for the prize that she
won, is q harbinger of bright future
in the wide and charming field of
fiction.

:i:OIstsE SAND-TREE END OF A
CfIEGEAEIkED CAREER.

Several brief bulletins from Paris
within the last few days announcing
the serious illness of the Lady known
to the world under the pscudOnyna of
George Sand, have prepared all per
Sons who have at any time been the
least interested in her, or in her
writings, for the announcement of her
death. This announcement has at last
arrived.
The life thus brought to close is
one of more than ordinary acton and
incident. The character given to 1t
by the possession of extraordinary
genius has drawn around itself a weird
charm which has attracted the reading
world for half a century. In its
phases it typifies at once the life OF
woman in France to- day, with all its
conventional character and narrow
scope, and the broad, liberal. and
often startling social and political
tendencies, which fiud their most forci
BILE and extreme expression in the same
country and time The greatest writer's
of fiction of the age were women, and
it is remarkable coincidence that
masculine names, and hat both
should have been irregular in their
womanly relations to men, George
Sand and George Elliot. the first, the
best living writer of fiction in the
French language, and the latter hold
ing the same position, with perhaps
the exception of Mr.. Ruskin, in Eng
lish literature. The English woman
differed from the French woman, how
ever, in one all important particular
the moral and social laws. In these
English woman was not.
The history of George Sands career
mp to the time of her marriage and for
some years thereafter, is in its main
incidents what we conceive to be that
of the average French girl of the
provinces. The incidents of her life
may be briefly stated.
Amantine Lucille Aurore Dupin was
born in Paris in 1904, and losing her
father at an early age was reared by
her grandmother in the province of
Berri. This grandmother was the ille-
ultimate daughter of the brilliant and
cratic Marshal SAKE. After a youth
not particularly eventful, she married
Baron Casimir Dudevant. The mar.
rage was an unhappy one, and after
some years a partial separation took
place. Madame Dudevant travelling
first in the south of France, then to
Paris. It was on this journey that the
with Jules Jandeau waa
formed that lead to her entering upon
literature as pursuit. Her first work,
Rose ct Blanche, was produced in
with him, and her first in
romance, Indiana, written
under the name of George Sand, came
next land vas followed by long list
of others in quick succession. This
period of her life is marked by the
most startling of those departures from
the ordinary course of conduct, with
which her name is connected-notably
the adoption of male apparel. In

It need hardly be said, says the New

1t need hardly be said, says the New
York World, that we wholly approve
of Secretary Chandeliers avowed mo-
tives in suing ex-Secretary Jacob
Thompson for the million of dollars
worth of bonds stolen from the Gov
eminent under his administration. To
be sure, Mr.. Thompson didn't steal
the bonds, and neither knew of, was
responsible for, nor profted by their
theft, and even such good Republican
authority as the Philadelphia Press
declares that there is nothing serious
in the matter; hut for all that Mr.
Chambers effort is to be commended.
1t is only to be hoped that the sauce
wherewith he proposes to haste the
Democratic goose may also be applied
to the Republican gander. If MIR.
Chandler can only compel the army of
Radical thieves, who have for the past
fifteen years been robbing the nation,
to disgorge their plumber, We have no
doubt that with the amount thus OBJ
tanned the nationl debt can be paid off
in full and such surplus will be left
over in the Treasury as will render
resumption Immediately practicable.

There may be some trouble in tie
Cincinnati Convention about the forma-
ton of a platform. Usually Repubii-
can politicians care very little for this
nv tier, as they are willing to promise
every thing for the sake of victory; but
just now the d :fficulty will be what to
promise to secure popularity. Senator
Mcrton's organ declares that if the
resumption act be not denounced the
Western States will be lost to the
party -especiaily Ohio and Indiana.
This threat may be uttered merely to
influences sentiment in favor of M "
ton; but if Morton finds that his only
chance lies in the championship of his
paper money he may possibly assume
the leadership OF the Western initiation
element and create mutiny IN the
camp.

The victory of Guatemala in her
recent short but sharp contest with
San Salvador seems likely to be fol-
lowed up by concerted pressure from
Guatemala, San Salvador, Honduras
and Costa Rica upon Nicaragua to
bring about a practical re-establish-
ment of the Central American Con
federation. These four States are now
in reality but two, Honduras and San
Salvador acting under the supreme
influence of President Barrios of
Guatemala, and Costa RIGA having
long been administered iii an auto
cratic way by General Gusrdia, and
though no longer President of the re-
public is in command of the army, and
can do pretty much as he pleases.

And the end of it all is, that Josiah
independent candidate for Governor
O. North Carolina. All We have to say,
for the present, is that II is far better
for the party to have an open enemy
than secret foe. Mr.. Tur-
ner's announcement PAGES him beyond
the pale of the Democratic party. BY
his own act and not by the act Of that
party he takes pc ,it:on in the ranks OF
its enemies. The position is of his
own voluntary seeking. He has not
been driven to it by Ill usage or bad
treatment. At the very moment he
made the announcement of his purpose
to be independent candidate against
the nominee of the Democratic party
he was, if not eating the head of that
party, Mt least enjoying the profits 81
an office bestowed upon him by that
party. Josiah Turner is to-day Public
Printer by favor of the party whose
downfall he announces it to be his
purpose to bring about.

as we find it in the Raleigh Sentinel.

the Philadelphia Times, in rela-
ton to the manner in which gov
eminent officials have transacted
business in that locality. Rumor point
ed to frauds, robbery and stealing. but
rumor in this instance fell short of
reality. Certain persons in Washing
ton are also implicated in the crooked,
but by no means unremunerative
method of running the official machine
in Louisiana In the course of the in
vestigation it cropped out that distil~
lers had been held exempt from the
visit of government inspectors by pay
a portion of their profits to person
who lived under the shadow of the
White House. It was also stated from
the witness stand that Custom House
funds had been used to pay for work
done for the collector in q private ca
pacity. Another practice unearthed
was that of signing payrolls in blank,
and then allowing officials to fill them
| up with amounts far exceeding those
paid to the persons named upon
| the documents. Of course the ex-
! cess fell into the pockets of the
head officials, and those who held
them in their positions by the exercise
of influence at Washington. There
were numerous other facts and Cir
cumstances brought to light. all tend
| ing to show the monstrous corruption
that has crept into the public service
under system which has been and is
now used to enrich persons in power
and their friends or minister to politi
cal ambition. New Orleans and Louis

great gang of political desperadoes

hesitated to employ any means te

fingers in the treasury, Riot, tumult

melancholy part of the whole affair il
