Loaan Threatened with Boycott.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-The latest in
stance of threatened 'boycotting' is said
to be in an anonymous letter received by
Mrs Logan. Mrs. Logan is one of the Ia,
dies interested in the Garfield Memorial
Hospital for the benefit of which it is pro-
posed to give the calico ball at the Chinese
Legation building. The writer warns Mrs.
Logan that for her to go under the roof Of
the Chinese Minister will be an indication
that she sympathizes with Chinese immi-
grafton, and the laboring men of the coun,,
try will in consequence boycott General
Logan in his political aspirations. The
writer is supposed to be crank.

NOVELS.
BY Miss JENNIE BLAIR. IL 81 ar old pupil In
the Elk Point Public schools.

Tile Eik lolnt tiD1lc SttooiS.
The subject of modern novels,
which has been assigned to me, is
one with which / am but slightly
acquainted, my early education in
that direction having been sadly
neglected. Therefore | shall not at
tempt to examine it in a critical
manner, but will give such general
impressions as my limited opportu-
mites have enabled me TO form. The
mention of novels will awaken in the
minds of many persons, pleasing
memories, recalling to their view
many persons ages, whe have been
their companions in the world ct
Romance, and in whose welfare,
they have been deeply interested.
They will feel too, that they have
derived benefit as well rs pleasure
from these idea. creations. Others
look on novels very differently they
consider them useless, if not decid-
eddy harmful, and think the time
spent in reading that class of litera-
ture is worse than wasted. Novels
may be divided into two general
classes; those, which form their high
artistic merit, and good moral stand
ard have o an enviable position
in literature, from n class, while
those, which rank lower in these re-
spects. constitute the other. Among
this latter class, the yellow covered
literature, peculiarly known as the
"dime novel;" stands rs a prominent
representative of modern novels, and
has obtained a hold on the reading
public never equalled by any other
work. All of the reformatory inhu-
ences Of the nineteenth century have
been evoked to root out this evil
the lecture, the appeal and the rod
have each been tried, and yet the
appetite for this forbidden fruit
seems to remain unimpaired. 1t is
especially relished by school chill
dren, who in spite Of all dangers,
will presisti in devouring its contents,
so long as the shelter of a text book
or desk will afford friendly protec-
ton. Perhaps the following pen
picture, though a rude sketch, will
presnt my impressions on the sub
iect of modern novels as well rs l
am able to give them. 1t will show
the difficulties with which / have
met which as will be seen. were ofa
very serious nature. 1t will also in
troduce a few characters, which will
be found necessary to the existence
Of the well regulated modern novel.
This sketch, using an original cx-
preston, / believe, contains more
truth than poetry.
Woe! Woe. Is me! For troubles come
Like storms from out the wintry skies;
It's Icy breath, like northern blast.
Brings binding tears to anxious eyes.
Kind Muse descend. with wealth Of words.
EndOw Inc like immortal Dickens;
With ideas new my ESSAY fill;
For thoughts are scarce as teeth in
chickens.
Modern Novels! Just think Of that.
As subject for n composition;
To read one even all must KNOW.
Yet on this subject. I must write
And still M studies must go on.
Not one Of them must be neglected.
Had / been called upon to write
On Cube Root or on vulgar fractions.
On declnals or rules OF three.
Twould bring to me far less distraction.
Equations. pure, with \. w.
s WoaiS covert MlsrG sssia EG nse Iab ,oassl in-
Not SO with Modern Novels.

.'0nr boat Is asleep N scrchio's stream,
And its wings are folded like thoughts III a

ShaIiOW siloOtn anu StrOnk uOtn come.
But the love of the poet for water
was not confined to lake and river,
the sea was an unexaustable source
Of delight to his fancy. 1t was to
this passion that he owed his death.
Like q true loyer Of marine scenery,
he did not draw from it Only the
ordinary poetical store of rocks
breakers, waves and storms; he adj
mired and studied it in its most
commonplace aspects. The fiat
sandy beach and the wild seaside
marsh furnished him many of his
best scenes because they were the
most congenial topics Of his mind.
How perfect is the meter, thought
and rythm of the words that point,
9TH lone eorasmian shore,
q wide and melancholy waste
OF putrid marshes" =
Or the tame coast Of Lido
THAT bank OF iand rhich breaks the flow
OF Adria towara Venice IA bare stand
" hillorks. heap'd froin every shifting sand.
Matted with %thisilcs and anphilio,,s weeds;
. an inhabited seaside,
Which the lone fisher, when his nets are dried,
Abandons; and no other object breaks
The waste, but one dwarf tree and some few
stakes.
Broken and urrepaired. and the tide makes
A narrow space Of level sand thereon"
Some Of his poems have a touch
of vague ghastiness and terror, such
as the following famous description
of the Hours
- a-..- - 10. -. -
Which trample the dim winds In each there
stands
A wiid-eyed charioteer urging their flight.
Some look behind. rs fiends pursued them
And Yet I see no shape but the keen stars:
Others, with burning eyes, lean forth and
With eager lips the wind Of their own speed,
As il the thing they loved fed Oh before,
And now, even now. they clasped it. Their
stream like a comets flashing hair; they all
Sweep onward"
One of Shelley's most beautiful
and certainly one of his most popu-
lar poems is his Ode to a Skylark.
Perhaps no poet with SO wonderful
a flow of ideas, had SO little control
over language as Shelley. He has
scarcely written a stanza but seems
to contain more thoughts than it
was in his power to clothc in words.
1t is possible that he might over
come this obstacle had he been per-
mitted to live; his power of express
sion might have been expanded to
suit the gigantic demands of his
imagination, or on the other hand
his imagination might have dwin-
died and shrunk under the cramp-
ing influence Of his lack of express
sion.
His poetry is said to be almost
Greek and yet English. His favor
tie characters were a cloud, a plant
or a sunrise; they were those of the
primitive poets, when they took the
lightning for a bird of fire and the
clouds for the hocks of heaven.
Is not this the life of a genuine
poet? "Eyes fixed on the splendid
apparitios with which he peopled
space, he went through the world
not seeing the high road, stumbling
over the stones by the roadside.
