FANNIE KEMBLEs OLD AGE.
The Beautiful Actress who Became the
Wife Of n Rich Georgia Planter.

IRON ne Atlanta Constitution
Fannie Kemble in her old age has written
q novel!
This brief item appeared the other day in q
Boston paper. 10 the older Georgians still
lingering among us this announcement will
come with q shock of surprise. Many of
them remember Fanny Kemble as one Of the
faircst and most charming women TINT ever
crossed their pathway. She was with us only
for u season, but she was n mere bird of
passage, and III n short time she fitted away,
finally returning to her foreign home.
annie emble, more than half a century
ago. was n beauty and a belle. Throughout
all England she was fam Gus ms the most beau
tilul actress on the stage. She belonged to
the renowned Kemble family of actors and
inherited their talent. She visited this coun-
try and received N ovation everywhere.
Even the cold, ~self-po:scd Charles Sumner,
hen he saw her. was moved to an en-
thusiHstlc admira ion which he never felt for
any other woman.
But The favoritc Of the footlights disliked
the stage, and whom Pierce Butler, the
wealthy Georgia planter, fell in love with
her, she readily consented to be the mistress
of his bnroninl estate comprising one of tho
most delight nj islands Of the coast of Geor-
gia. The plantation was stocked with hun
dreds of slaves. II was equipped with
cannon, and was as large and rich as some of
the small duchies in Europe.
The fair Englishwomar. however. did not
like plantation life. She hated the dark
faces around her. In u short time she
quarrelled with her husi and. left HIM. re-
suned her maiden name. and went North,
where she wrote n book describing her plan
tation life and showing up Mr.. Pierce Butler
and the institution of slavery in no very
pleasant light. The book was the sensation
of the day.
All that was long before the war, and few
of this younger generation ever heard of
either the look or its dashing author. 1t
viii surprise many TO learn that she is still
living. IL is more remarkable that after
having survived most of her early contempo-
raries she should now resume the pen which
she handled with SO much ability more than
a generation ago.
No h nj has been given Of the character OF
Fanny Kemble's novel. If il dea s with her
own life history ii cannot fail to be interest
ing. 1t is not often that q spectre comes out
of the past to tell us O story.

A LitcrnrN Novelty.

lfTOW NJ NeN fNhbr J'hFHhf.I
Under the above caption the New York WORLD
of Monday speaks of a New Haven gentleman
whose very meritorious poetic contributions to
the Courier and other New Haven dailies in the
past few years has been so fayorably received by
the public:
THE story in verse entitled A Yankee
Lucille, by Mr.. william Edward Penney, The
EVENING WORLD poet, begun in these columns
to-day is q unique and original newspaper fea-
ture. The like has never appeared to our knowl-
edge in any newspaper ever published.
Mr.. Penney's poetical ability has attracted
widespread attention and much hearty praise.
1t is of the sort that appeals to the common peo-
pie. and will interest thousands of readers who
care nothing for poetry as a general thing.
1.-THE work Of Will Carleton in his Farm
Ballads will naturally be compared with Mr..
Pcnney's latest effort. But the latter Is not at
all likely to suffer by such comparison.
There is a decided moral, too, in : Yankee
Lucille that American girls will do well to re-
member and apply"

with the Normals. Notwithstanding
the inability of the umpire to interpret
the rules according to the Base Ball
Guide,l he did fairly well. However
we advise him never to take control of
another game until he has thoroughly
imbibed the rules into him. The large
and enthusiastic audience that held up
the fences were somewhat partial IN their
demonstrations but the Farmers were
used to that. The score,if we understand
correctly. was 80 to % or somewhere in
that vicinity which was of course in fav-
or of the Farmers.
