Feminine Fiction.
'Lurch Quarterly Review.

Church Quarterly Review.
One Of the chief features OF modern
fiction is that il is largely produced by
women. Probably more than have the
novels Of the day arc written by women,
snd the proportion is continually IN.
Nothing can he more na,ural
than that this should be So. Novel-wrlt-
ING is kind of work which is IN various
WAYS suitable for women. They possess
many of the qualities which are required
in storytelling, such as An appreciation
of detail in giving interest To narrative, n
CAPACITY for delicate and discriminating
snslysis Of character and certain sym
pathetic tone which is apt to be wanting
in the writings Of men. Moreover, IL
is work which can be done quietly
At home, and does not involve
personal contact with the rough jostlins
of the outer world, and it has also the
temptation of being fairly remunerstive.
Under these circumstances II Is not sur
prising that novel writing should hsve
become in large degree womsns pro-
iession, and much might be hoped from
this If the opportunity Was used in the
right spirit We remember reading
some wears sgo a work on English wo-
men OF letters by one who has herself
ob,sined some reputation among them,
in which il was pointed out that the
share which women now had IN writing
fiction no, only afforded them an oppor-
,unity OF displaying their intellectual
quantities, but had An important effect on

The run has been heavier than it was
last week, but good sheep and lambs

Over-Running che South.

1t is reported from Washington that
some of the southern members think it
would be goodI thing for Congress to
remain in session until November. be-
cause they fear it is Grants intention to
cover run the south" with troops to in
huence the approaching elections.
""Over run"is the word used, although a
dozen years ago every southerner would
have indulged in derisive laugter at the
suggestion that anybody could overrun
eleven states with $4,000 troops, minus
at least eight thousand now wanted to
operate against the Sioux, and as many
more required in numerous places from
New York to Alaska, that are not sit
uated in southern states. There are moi
enough troops available to over run q
single southern state, and there is ne
evidence that Grant has any inclination
at present to run over anything or any.

Trying to Sape his Party.

Grant is evidently trying to cover up
the tracks of the thieves that have in
tested the government Offices for the last
eight or ten years. No man dare to go
before the Congressional Committee and
testify to the truth and hope to retain
Office. No matter what his station is his
official head is sure to pay the forfeit.
Plerrepont only saved himself from ex.
pulsion from the Cabinet by agreeing to
resign and take the English Mission, and
to hold this he had to hesitate to answer
questions propounded to him, and which
he left without answering.
Grant mostly fills the places made va.
can't with men who have been about the
Departments at Washington and are
familiar with the fraudulent transactions
and they are expected to conceal so much
Of the rascalities as they know of even
at the sacrifice of evasion or perhaps per.
jury.
In reference to Jewell it is intimated
that Morton required that be should be
turned out of the Cabinet, as there was
no hope for Connecticut, JEWELS State,
while the promotion of Tyner would
help Hayes and Wheeler in Indiana and
Ohio. This was perhaps the more de.
sired since Mr.. New was an Indianian.
and Commissioner Pratt, who has just
determined to leave the Cabinet is also
from Indiana. Mr.. Tyner has been liv,
ing on the party for many years. He
was during President Lincoln's admins
tration, special agent of the Post Office
Department. located in Schuyler Colfax's
District. He was subsequently elected
to Congress to succeed Mr.. Colfax, ant
