AN EXCELLENT PROJECT.

A number of the nsilers Of the city are
talking seriously of starting cooperative
nail mill, and are looking around for q site
that will offer the greatest advantages for
that purpose. This is sn important matter,
and should meet with hearty encourage
ment. II body Of practical .nen propose
10 erect so great an Industry as q nail mill
somewhere in the vicinity of Wheel
ing, it is important that such
industry be located within the city
limits. Wheeling has several excellent
sites for o nail mill. There is the old
Superior Works, in North Wheeling, that
requires but little money comparatively 10
adapt the buil3ing for nail factory and
forge for making nail plate. There is also
the Armstrong, Coen i Co. mill and lum-
Der yards, which might be trsnsposed into
3 nail mill at q reasonable cost. The
nailers who have the project on foot are TO
be commended, and We trust will succeed.
1t WAS Just such energy and rssolu-
lion that built the Belmont
and La Belle mills. Such successful firms
as Norton, Acheaon L Co., and Bailey,
Woodward i Co., were the outcome Of
some such movement as is now being az
itated.
When workmen become dissatisfied with
their employers and withdraw altogether
from their shops, there is no better or more
independent way to assert their capacity
manhood and energy than to band together
and become themselves manufacturers,
By all means let US have a cooperative
mill in our midst The city wants it and
it will be probably one Of the best indirect
means of ending the present great lock
out.

AMERICAN POETRY.
How We Come Up in the Art of Writ
ing,
Atlantic WypfbBy


Atlantic Monthly.
Is there an American poetry Have we
done what LongfellOW in his youth sVerred
he was content 10 do? Have we merely
continued English literature, or are there
q genuine nationality, an indigenous
groEth, an aboriginal q usity IN our pro-
ductiou hitherto2 Ii is well enough to
let the mind wander, after a Spencerisn
fashion, over the distant future, when from
the attrition of our immigrant races q new
people shall result, with literature of its
own; but, in that, pOste :ity has the prin-
eipal interest. SuCE speculation may
ill paragraph 1t is not the
theme Of the ctsp.er. There is an
abundance of literary fossils in our past,
and from the study,oi them it appears that
there was great effort ut one time to
breed q genus Americanam to browse on
the pastursge Of Pegasus Here are relics
epic, pastoral and lyric which belong 10
the period of the redskin. The mass OF
our inspired writing about the Indians
and their myths were extraordinarily volu-
miDous, aud it seems to have sprung from
the notion that for our poetry to be orlgi-
nal it must be aboriginal. A national
literature, however, needed some other
voucher than the trick Of local color could
give. 1t was, 80 if SWineburne should claim
admittsnce to Greek anthologies on the
score of Atalsnta or Erechtheus, or
Shakespeare seek some Latin apotheosis
for his Roman plays. This attempt Of our
earlier poets to develop native literature
by experimental variation was sbOrtiVe.
The effort merely 10 be different leads
usually only to atfectstion, and so 1t was
with those who were over anxious for the
coming of poetry as original
as the very Burd o Fredum.
The error of method is illustrated by
contrast with the Biglow Papers. Mr..
Lowell found a living dialect which was a
natural channel of sense and quick, brief
tenderness, Of grit and humor and shrewd-
ness very near to sarcasm; and he, as the
poet does, IN making it the mould OF his
own kindred spirit, illuminated it. The
BigeloW Papers are Americanin narrow
er than the national sense; they are Yam
kee, but the new birth of our new soil
beyond all esyil. Those who, on the other
hand stroye to make the Indian character
a means of imaginative expression lacked
power to subdue it, finding it altogether
TOO alien; with all their efforts, the work
they left Of this kind is decsying fungus.

Home In Delaware.
Mrs. Willis, wife of Rev. J. s. Willis a
widely known and wealthy Methodist min
lister, oi near Milford, Delaware, has died of
burns received by the explosion OF u coal OIL
lamp at her home near this town. At mid
night Miss Willis and a party of young
friends returning from an evening party saw
as they approached the Willis home, that the
house was on fire. The coachman whipped
the horses and in q few moments the house
was reached. Rushing i'm, Miss Willis found
her mother lying in an upper room shock
fngly burned. She retained consciousness
long enough to explain the nature of the acci.
dent and died at o'clock. The house was
saved. Mr.. Willis and his wife were well
known all over the peninsula, he for his pull
pit eloquence and his fondness for outdoor
country life and she for her social graces.
The house in which the accident occurred
was one which Mr.. Willis had finished

The Cholera In Spain.
The condition of Granada remains pitiable.
Hundreds OF people are attacked by cholera
in single streets nearly every day. There
are no doctors and no authorities to look
after the victims, who often pass through
agonies in the streets and expire, unattended,
In the cutters. Most of the unaffected popu-
lation have fled, and the few healthy citizens
who remain are disheartened and apathetic.
Corpses remain uncovered and unidentified.
The misery wrought by the plague has be-
come itself nuisance, and the government
mas resorted to the desperate expedent Of
compelling soldiers and convicts to carry on
the work of removing from the public ways
and interring bodies OF unknown dead.
