Noveiist.Poets.

81 From Edmund G. Stedman's literary
critiQue, entitled 1.-THE Twilight OF the
Poets,n in the September Century, We
quote the following:
.sIt must be borne I'm mind that nOta
few of our idealists are directing their
main efforts to prose composition.
{. !. !. Among our noyelists, however,
Aldrich always seems the poet, IAN
author with whom song has the prece-
dence. His tales are the prose Of
poetic artist, and owe to this fact their
airy charm. Howells furnishes an In
stance of the apt recognition Of exist
ing tendencies. The wisdom be has
displayed lin bis generation goes far
to justify the diversion we are observ-
ing. His early verse. issued conformity
with that of his friend Piatt, bore un-
usual marks Of promise. nor has he
quite broken with the muse or ceased
to hold her image In his heart. Other
wise his heart. like Mr. James's, was
! that Of a critic, scholar, analyst; and
the determined evolution of a mastery
novel-wfiter, from youth of the quail
ificatiuns involved, might serve as .
text for homilies on tho power Of the
human win. His pen being his fortune,
his chosen profession that of q man Of
/, letters, he manlullY trained himself to
the production of literature that he
foresaw would be welcome and remun-
eratiVe; this, in o series Of works. -at
first descriptive, then inventive, --con-
stantly advancing la perception, In
management of incident and character,
until he now stands where we find
him. in the front rank OF those who inn
press observers with sense of our lit
erary progress, His poetic gift serves
him well in translation, dramatic adap-
tation, and with respect to the feeling
and artistic effect OF his tenderest cpl
sodes. Waving discussion of Mr..
Howells's method as o novelist, who
can question that he has judged wisely,
and has done far better for the public
than # he had pursued the art that
was his early choice? - s
'sBy such examples more light is east
upon the reduced Importance of our
song-makers, and ground discovered
for a belief that this is transitory and
that a fresh departure win anon be
made. Fancy and imagination arc
still rife, but their energy finds vent in
new directions. Accomplished crafts
men, some Of whom thirty years ago
might have been numbered among the
poets, now supply the public with It's
imaginative rations in tho guise Of
prose fiction and romance. Through
instinct or judgment, they have occu-
pied the gap in our literature. The
time has been opportune; famous in
nings were made by tire elder min
strels; our school of fiction had been
represented only by few rare and ex-
oeptional names. So keen has been
the new impulse, that the young neo-
phyte of to-day, instead of shaping his
vague conceptions into rhythm and
initiating the poets within his knowl-
edge. longs to emulate the foremost
novelists. "

The Mammoth Orchestra Concert.

In another column will be found the
announcement of a concert by Mr.. Care
less mammoth combination, to take place
at the Salt Lake Theatre, Wednesday
evening, March 25th. In addition to a
well-trained orchestra of thirty-five
pieces, Mr.. Careless presents as solo
artists the best talent of our city. The
programme has been carefully selected.
Five selections will be rendered by the
orchestra, including the charming over
lures of civilian Tell'' and Gun Ballo
In Maschera," as also Reissiger's ell
semmihle." Miss Edna Rassell and Mr..
Gorlinski will each give solo. Mr..
Krouse will give Memberships piano
concerto OPP. % with orchestral ac-
compartment; and Mr.. Weihe will
present one of Mendelssohn's violin con-
certos, ALSO with orchestra accompaniment.
We are under the impression that this is
the first time these great concertos have
been rendered in Salt Lake City with Or
chestral accompaniment. A Moschiles
duet for two pianos will be given by
Messrs. Radcliffe and Darlington, and
cello solo by Mr.. Van Praag
We trust this concert will be well
patronized by the Salt Lake public, as it
aims to present thoroughly good music in
an artistic manner. The general public
of Salt Lake is as yet but little acquainted
with the works of the great masters
and the attempts that have heretofore
been made to domesticate them here,
have not always met with the response
they deserved. If musical understand
ing is growing among us, it is certainly
due only.to the self-denying efforts of our
local artists, in promoting concert after
concert with little or no remuneration,
and with no other object in view than to
teach the people what true music is, and
to lift them to their level. Let the people
but meet such efforts half way, and thew
will be repaid by some of the purest
pleasures this world can afford.

The Horn Silver.

The New York Mining Record contains
the following: This is the situation to
which one of the best mining properties
In the west has been brought by pre-
sumptuous bad management. Our own
private information from vicinage is that
there is an immense mass of low grade
ore in the 700 and 800 foot levels running
from 20 to 80 ounces of silver with 20 to
25 per cent. lead, and one that can there
fore be worked with profit under pro-
per administration. Above 700 feet there
are considerable bodies of high grade
dry ore, possibly involved or lost by the
cave, if so-lost by gross negligence.
Stockholders should have complete ex-
animation made of the property by a
.ss,alat reliable expert before either
losing or increasing their holdings in the
Horn Silver.

The Triumphant Return.

The Patience" artists returned from
their northern trip last evening, laden
with immortal fame and golden wealth.
Their tour was succession of triumphs.
and they were greeted with enthusiasm
and crowded houses wherever they went.
The members thoroughly enjoyed the
"out, " and are unanimous in their ex-
pressions OF satisfaction with the trip. 1t
Is not yet known what the entire receipts
OF the trip will aggregate, but they will
be more than sufficient to meet all
expenses. But one performance was
given at Logan, the receipts of which
were in the neighborhood of $500, which
is considered remarkable for that town.

Conference Rates.

Mr.. Francis Cope, of the Utah Central,
will return from the Denver pool meeting
this evening Mr.. Eccles will get back
in day or two, and the important ques-
ton of conference rates will then be set
tied One important fact in connection
with this matter is that Logan is not one
of the points embraced by the Titan pool.
The U. G. can give rates and sell tickets
over the Utah & Northern, while the d.
& r. G. can't. The broad guage will
therefore be enabled to reap the benefits
of all southern business to Logan, while
the baby line will be left to shiver on the
outside. But the Utah Central people
are not very jubilant over this fact, for
the general impression prevails that the
attendance at the Logan conference will
be strikingly remarkable for its slimness.
