THE PUBLIC DEBATE.

these columns some time ago, the
Bastrop Literary Society celebrated
the s'Glorious Fourth on the 9th.
last Tuesday. The programme was
somewhat interfered with by a
drenching rain winch fell about one
O'Clock. Many people who de
signed going to the picnic near the
Female College, were kept away by
the rain. However, wesunderstand
there was a big crowd who enjoyed,
to their hearts content, the fich
viands that were preparedisfor the
mouth, and the solid mental food
which was elegantlysEand profusely
melted out by the learned Buatt and
the eloquent Macy. We are sorry
that the elements precluded our at
tendance upon the exercises of the
day. The clouds passed away in
the evening, and at Z O'Clock sharp
the court house bell summoned the
Society and the rest of mankind to
collect themselves in that stately
building to perform and hear the
evening programme. In obedience
to the sonorous tap of the deep
toned bell, We wendell our way to
the huge temple of justice (?)
where we found an assemblage of
lovely ladies and intelligent men
whose presence filled our excited
brain with the most fearful fore
holdings as to our ability ''to face
such an audience.
The Society WAS called to order
by President Brigham. Mr.. t. O.
Leavel opened the exercises by pro-
nouncing defamation upon ''Elo-
quence. When we announce his
subject, it is useless to say that his
effort was eloquent. The editor
then read an Essay upon the sub
ject: The Ladies' of America.
The debate was opened on the
affirmative by Samson Levy, Esq.
The question discussed was.
''Would the Annexation of Mexico |
be advantageous to the United |
States - He spoke logically and
forcibly for twenty minutes. At |
times the young gentleman grew
sublimely eloquent, and his power
full argument frequently, elected
deafening peals of applause from
the refined audience. Capt. J. C.
Weaks answered Mr.. Levy in
beautiful 1a and telling speech; ,, pAdl Mr.
time we stepped out to stake a lit
lie thin and did not hear his
entire speech. Those who are
judges say that Mr.. Nsff made a
brilliant speech full Of sound, sensi-
BILE reasoning. Mr.. Leon Sugar
brought up the rear On the Negative
in a faeetious and sarcastic speech,
which crowned his broad "brow
with the wreath of fame. y Our
young friend 'sstuck a feather in
his cap" that many others would
like to wear. The decision was
made by President ]. Harvey Brig
ham in favor Of the Negative. We,
in conjunction with the entire
enjoyed the evening. ex-
ercises most heartily. The speaker
all acquitted themselves most hand
somely. The two young meh
Messrs Levy and Sugar, deserve
much credit for the able efforts thaY
made. They are both Israelites
and are sons of highly respected
citizens of our town. We congrat-
ulate each of them and bespeak for
them brilliant career-in the future. | j
In the name of the Society 'ge
return many thanks to the ladies Of
Bastrop for their smiling and in
spring presence at our public de-
bate last Tuesday evening. Nay
their beauty never be wrinkled.

The distinguished English authoress, Geo.
Eliot, (Mary Ann Evans), since the death of
her companion and early critic, Geo. Lewes,
seems disposed to retirement. 1t is generally
understood in England that she will not write
any more novels or anything else. She has.
it is said, definitely announced her dt termi-
nation to retire from the pursuit of literature
altogether. 'Theophrastus Such" although
published recently, is asserted to be a collec-
ton of essays written from time to time
during the last eight on ZEN years, and to have
been given to the public because her publish
crs wanted something from her. She has
often said that George Henry Lewes was q
great mental stimulus to her, and that she
could not have done "Middlema"ch" or "Dan-
iel Deronda" without his encouragement
Since his death she feels her incentive and
handspring gone. and, as she has long been
In delicate health, she considers her literary
career over. She is now in her siXtieth wear.
and, no doubt, feels particularly desolate.
having no children and leading a yery seclud-
ed life. 1t is not likely, however, that after a
while she will feel compelled to resume her
pen in self-defense, to dIspel in part the sense
OF solitude and grief caused by her constant
and devoted companions death. She has
lived so much and so long through her fine
expression that she will be very different from
most authors if she can remain silent hence
forth. Any mind that can produce "Romo-
las" 'Silas Mariners and "M~iddlemarch" has
no right to allow any bereavement to cut
short its literary productivity. She should
have in her years of excellent work yet.

Mr. D. b. Wharton, of the Ohio and Mis-.

whose husband and his two brothers were in
the army at the date Of its issue, preceding
the Mexican war, and all of whom partici-
pated in that contest. There were then eight
regiments of infantry, five of artillery and
two of dragons, by which name the cavalry

Home Dramatic Club.

The remarkable and Immediate
success of the ycnng people in the
recent Performance of THE Romance
of Poor Young Man" has crested
on the part OF the public a universal
desire to see the piece repeated. For
this purpose The managers have
chosen Friday night of this week for
their next date, and will open the
box Office for the sale of reserved
seats on Thursday, the S.h instant, at
10 am This repetition will, in all
probability te attended by many of
those who haze already witnessed the
piece, and also by those of our citizens
who naturally enough awaited the
issue of the debut of the company.
But the really pronounced merit Of
the performance itself, its beautiful
scenery, striking situations and lively
dialogue, Joined to the excellence
of those who presented it, have
created an interest among theatre
goers that fully warrants another
presentation. The entertainment,
as rendered last week, was unqUsli-
ieoly good. and was well worth the
attention and presence of a critic;
but as it was prepared on a notice of
only ten days, the management do
not hesitate TO state their firm belief
that another performance will show
even an improvement over the fret.
While the performance, as heretofore
stated, was very meritorious, rivailing
in excellence very many professional
stock companies, there is still room
to improve, and there is no reason
why the expectations of the mana gers
should not be fulfilled.

The Canal.

At the regular weekly session Of the
City Council on Tuesday night, the
canal question came up and was dis
cussed in a semi-formal manner, the
members expressing themselves
freely on the matter. After some
deiibeTation as to the route, the ques-
ton was sprung as to how high on
the cast bench the water in the canal
could be safely carried towards the
north bench; and the discussion on
this resulted in 8 motion, which was
carried, authorizing the committee Oh
canal to call to its aid such engineer
ing and other ability as it may deem
advisable, in order to secure the bes
interests of the city and to advance
the work of the canal.
Regarding the matter of the bond.
special committee, consisting o.
Mayor Little, Councillor Joseph F
Smith and Alderman D. o. Calder
was appointed to attend to their get
ting up and issuance.
So the canal, with all its details, i

Mr.. Martineau Speaks.

Editors Herald:
In your daily of the ID inst. occurs
the following, in the article entitled
"The Canal Engineer"
SIT is a matter OF record that Mr..
Fox has laid ont about all the canals
and important irrigating bitches in
this country" etc.
As a statement of fact this is not
correct. He hiss probably laid out
most OF the bitches around Salt Lake
City, but that is only very email
part OF the country. The whole
country abounds in large canals Of
which Mr.. Fox "lsid out" but a
small proportion. There are other
engineers in Utah who have located
as many miles as he has, and perhap:
more.
This does not deirsct from his repu
tation in any way, but simply gives
chance for other engineers 10 recelyt
their due for their labors.
