AMONG THE NATURALIsTs.

Description as an art has reached its high
est pitch in the works of the naturalist
school 1t may be asserted with confidence
that they VIII never be surpassed. Flaubert
was marvel S. We do not believe that any
man who S brains enough and fancy
enough TO understand what he is reading
when he takes up ''Salambo" can forget the
opening scene in the gardens of Hamilcar 8
palace. Twenty-Five years have passed, may
be, since the first edition came out, and we
ourselves have not looked at it since; but
that picture stands fresh before our ewes, not
alone. If the scenes in Madame Bovary''
stamp themselves less clearly ,2n our recollec-
ton it is not because they have less force, but
because the story is less impressive than that
tremendous ''Salarnbo." But Emile Zola has
reached a point more lofty still in art
though not, by any means, il power. Good
Britons who know France well are puzzled
by the influence of a writer in which they
can see absolutely nothing beyond shameless
indecency.
Convinced by experience that the French
public is at least as moral as our own. their
faith is constantly disturbed by the ackEowl-
edgment-even from those who shrink in dis
gust-that lola is great artist Quand meme
We suspect that these worthy people have
never read his descriptions. Ussj to the
hotch-potch of adjectives which goes bv that
name in England they skip those passages
where the genius is revealed, which no man
of culture can peruse without admiration
There are hundreds Of such-a score in every
volume at le;.st-which might be set as an e1-
ercise In composition before boys and girls;
but that is beside our purpose. When we con-
slider the method BY which Flaubert and Zola

The Teachers Meeting.

The Teachers meeting on last Satur-
day was one of the most successful that
we have attended in several months.
About fifteen active teachers, from diff
ferent parts of the county, were pres
ent. The discussion Of questions was
lively and interesting and at times be-
came little warm. "Grading Schools
opened by Mrs. Jane Long, was dis
cussed with interest. It was thought
by some that it is almost impossible to
grade our schools as they should be,
from the fact that children are so ir-
regular in attendance.
None, however, doubted that when
children are properly classified they
make more satisfactory progress than
when not.
"School Furniture" opened by Ar
thur Kibler, brought forth quite warm
debate. Every one felt the fact forci-
bly, that the school room should be we'll
furnished, but at the same time felt
that there were many obstacles in the
way. If the patrons realized the fact
that small expenditure of money
would make their school rooms better
fitted for instruction they would
doubtless have them better supplied
with the proper furniture. The teacher
cannot go to the expense of having
desks, blackboards, charts, &C., put into
the school. The salary is too small
And were it large that would be nc
reason why they should go to the ex'
pense.
After the discussion of this last
question we left the meeting, but have
since learned that the last OF the session
was as interesting and profitable as the
| first.
The next time the teachers will meet
at Newberly, Sd Saturday in February
Every one should be present, 50 thai
she may improve herself in the profes
sion. A.

Tbe Relief of Mrs. Banks.

In behalf of kindness shown to Mrs.
Frances Banks. we write these lines.
Last Saturday petition, intended for
Newberry, was written, To-day (Mon-
day. the most efficient workers, Messrs.
y. B. Whites and J. G. Neel, Jr., took
the petition in hand. AS the fruits OF
their labor $50 80 were collected in cash,
besides other little sundries Of some
value. The money was turned over
to the writer as treasurer, and is to be
disposed of in the way that commit
tee thinks mostjudicious, for provisions
and clothing.
To those interested we will say that
Mrs. Banks is to come to Prosperity as
soon as practicable, where her present
needs will be considered and satisfied.
The entire fund will be SO distributed
that Mrs. Banks and her little children
may realize its full value.
Let NO one say that Newberry isvoid
Of charity! factions speak louder than
words" Let no one say that Messrs.
Whites and Neel cannot speak for the
destitute. Truly, they love the hearts
that feel for another's woe. =: May
Heaven recompense, to them, send.
Your writer too, appreciates the trust
committed to her. IA little thing
you say, yes, but the pleasures of ous
life have been made Of little things.

The Smokey Town Trouble.

Solicitor o. L. Schumpert upon in
formation had warrants issued by Trial
Justice G. NJ. Girardeau and placed in
the hands of Sheriff Riser for the ar
rest of Butler Banks, charged with the
shooting of James G. Banks and for the
arrest of other parties charged with
burning tie house of Butler Banks.
The Sheriff went down on Monday
and on Tuesday arrested Stout Banks,
Perry Banks, Rush Banks and Turner
Banks and Jefferson Holly on the
charge of arson. They were brought
to Newberry and lodged in Jail Tuesday
afternoon. No preliminary examiDa-
ton has not yet been had and probably
none will be asked for. Butler Banks
was not arrested.
Mrs. Fannie Banks was arrested
Tuesday afternoon on warrant based
upon an affidavit made by Rush Banks,
charging her as an accessory after the
fact in the shooting of James e. Banks
by her husband Butler. She was put
in Jail but Solicitor Schumpert had her
released on her own recognizance the
same afternoon.
Mr.. James G. Banks, we understand,
is doing as we'll as could be expected.
He will likely recover. Butler Banks
has left the community, but will be
captured and brought to Jail.
There are good law-abiding citizens
in this community and the public SEN
iiment amongst them is strong that
this matter should be thoroughly in
vestigated and that the violators of the
laws be brought to give strict account
of their actions aid made to suffer the
penalties of such violation.
Solicitor Schumpert will do his duty
in the premises, and nothing further
need be said now.

TIE FARMERS ALLIANCE.

The special meeting of the Newberry
Farmers Alliance was held in New.
berry last Saturday. The sessions are
secret and no information in regard to
what was done has been furnished The
Herald and News, and hence we know
nothing of what was done at the meet
ing. We would gladly publish any of
the proceedings if the information were
furnished. We learn, however, that
the merchants of Newberry declined to
put in bids for the trade of the 4Alli-
ance and will sell goods in the same
way they have heretofore been doing.
At Prosperity we hear the bids of
Wheeler & Moseley and Wise Bros,
were the same. What action the Alli-
ance took we have not learned.
