THE VILLAIN OF FICTION.
A Lament for the Disappearance
Of a Familiar Fig ure.

A Lament for the Disappearance
Of a Familiar Fig ure.
Agnes Repplier in the Atlantic.
Amidst the universal grayness that
has settled mistily down upon English
fiction, amid the delicate drab-cOlored
standings and half-lights which require,
we are told, so fine a skill in handling,
the old-fashioned reader misses. now
and then, the vivid coloring of his
youth. He misses the slow unfolding
of quite impossible plots, the thrilling
incidents that were wont pleasantly to
arouse his apprehenSiOnS, and, most OF
all, two characters once deemed essen
tial to every NOVELETTE, hero and the
villain. The heroine is left us still, and
her functions are far more COM
plicated than in the simple days of yore,
when little was required of her save to
be beautiful as the stars. She faces
now the most intricate problems of life;
and she faces them with conscious self
Importance, dismal power of analysis
and robust candor in discussing their
equivocal aspects that would have sent
her buried sister blushing to the wall.
There was sometimes a lamentable lack
of solid virtue in this fair dead sister, a
pitiful human weakness that led to her
undoing, but she never talked 40 glibly
about sin. AS tor the hero, he owes his
Punishment to the riotouS manner in
which his masters handled him. Bull
Wer strained our endurance and our
credullty to the utmost. DlSraeli took
step further, and Lothian, the last Of
his race, persisted amid the cruel laugh
ter OF mankind.
But the VILLAIN! Remember what we
owe to him in the past. Think how
dear he has become to every rightly
constituted mind. And now we are told,
soberly and coldly, by the thin-bloOded
nOvelists of the day, that hisabsence is
one of the browning triumphS of genius;
that we have all grown too discriminate
ing to tolerate in fiction a character
whom we feel does not exist in life.
Man, we are reminded, Is complex, sub
tie, unfathomable, made up Of good and
evil so deXterouSly intermingled that
no one element predOminates coarsely
ever the rest. He is to be studied wa
rily and with misgivings, not classified
with brutal ease into the virtuous and
bad. 1t is useless to explain to these
analysts that the pleasure we take in
meeting a character in book does not
always depend on our having known
him in the family circle or encountered
him in our morning paper; though,
judged by even this stringent law, the
villain holds his own. Accept Balzac's
rule, and exclude from fiction not only
all which might not really happen, but
all which has not really happened in
truth, and we would still have studies
enough in total depravity to darken all
the novels in ChriStendom.

LewistoWn Journal.
A Franklin county farmer has been a
sort of stationary traveller. He was
born in 1919 in New Vineyard, which
was then in Kenuebec county. Mass.
The next year Maine became state,
and afterwards that part of Ne W Vine
yard was set off into Industry, Somer-
set county. When Franklin county
was formed Industry was made part
of it, and since then the corner of In
dustry has been annexed to Farming

THE COLORED VOTER.

Below we publish an extract the from the address of the county central committee of the colored Democrats in Pulaski county to their colored brethren throughout the State, in which the foul islanders that have been so industriously circulated in the north against the white people of the south to the effect that the negroes are prosecuted and deprived of free speech or free ballot are ef- fectually refuted, and that too by the very persons most interested:
 "We desire to congratulate our brethren that here in Arkansas every man is allowed to express himself, publicly or privately, on all questions affecting public interest, although certain designing politicians have en- deayored to make the impression abroad that the colored man enjoys no such privilege in Arkansas. We, who live here, know there is no such thing as gag law among us. Here every man, be he white or black, can express himself freely on all questions of a public nature without fear. Therefore. we say let our grievances be told, coming from any quarter they may, and let the remedies be suggested the colored man has had twenty-five years of freedom, has had the same opportunities to inform himself as other citizens, but he has been held in such political bondage by the Republican party, that many of them think it suicidal to look either to the right or left, without the consent of the white leaders of that party. We contend that the colored man has given the Republi- can party quarter of century of the most active service of his life, and during that time the leaders of the party have brought such disgrace upon the negro that it will take gen. erations to wipe it out"

ing with life-snstaining products to the mine, see the glittering bars of gold and silver bullon; into the studio, we stand entranced before lovely paintings and exquisite statues; into legislative halls, just and equitable laws insure protection to life and property; into the study and pulpit, and noble utteranoes of poet and preaching touch the heart to finer issues,' lift the soul into a sercncr and diviner air, broaden and deepen the sentiment of love to God and man, and place Deity upon his lawful throne
 Classmates, let Us earn the right to rejoice in that glorious day by help ing to hasten it's dawn. Let us not drink of wells we have not digged, eat of the lucious fruit of trees we neither planted nor tended; let us not reap where we have not sown, nor gather where we dil not strew." 7"

 The roaring tide of life, than lie

 Go and toi in any vineyard,
 Do not fear to do and dare,

 In conclusion, l express deyout wish that your future, classmates, may fulfill the promise of this oc- cason.

Hon. T. c. McRae to the Farmers.


 The following is an extract from a letter written by Hon. T. c. McRae to a friend in Columbia county:
 Fl heartily endorse the suggestion that the farmers should organize and demand that justice be done them and that all class legislation be re- pealed. The party to whose legislation can be traced all the wrongs of which the people complain is now in control of all the depart ments of the government by the most shameful methods ever known in the history of our country. Let the farmers and wagc-workers organ izc for their own protection and de- mand of the political partlcs that which is just and right. It will be worse than suicide to divide our forces. That is just what the oppo- sition wants, for then they will have an easy victory. l know that the Democratic party will record the will of the people, if they only make it known. The crisis is perilous, but l have faith in our institutions and be- lieve the right will in the end triumph" ;"

DAY DREAMS.
An essay read at the Commencement exercises of the Tom Allen High school of Prescott, on Fri day evening May 3, 1890,
BY PATTIE ARNOLD.

The poet defines dreams as "Thc children of the brain, the fruits of loyal natures and of noble minds"
 But a day dream may be defined as the wanderings of the mind rising above the real and seeking the plains of ideal life.
 There are very few persons who, when weary of the tolls and busy cares of the day, do not like to sit for an hour or so in the glowing twi- light and let imagination and memory have their sway, thus indulging in the day dream; and when these pleasant moments are over and we again return to real life, we feel re- freshed and enlightened and find ourselves much happier.
 The pencil of the dreamer colors the pages of life; yes, by the dreamer life's pages are tinted with purple and gold, thus coloring the plain and simple with the beautiful and sublime.
 A world of delight lies within the dreamer, and it is this unseen power that gives us our finest paintings and works of sculpture.
 We are told by the Roman orator, Cicero, that Phidias, the great mas ter of all Grecian sculpture, when ever he would make beautiful form would have no model except one in his own mind from which to copy and all others who have been success fnl in art first create and contem- plate their models in their own minds and from that they copy; thus we find that the world is indebted to the man who dreams for all of her grand works in painting, sculpture and poetry; for poety is the outer ex- pression of dream life.
 Where can we find poetry and son. nets more beautifully written and expressed than those of Mrs. Brown. ing? She was a dreamer, and in the lovely little poem, "The Lost Bower" we have beautiful illustra- tion of the souls travelings, and yet this is day dream.
 Also the grand old Milton with his vast store of knowledge was some- times waited by his day dreams to the realms of the ideal; he had a thirst and aspiration for that divine breathing or expression to which no mind is wholly stranger-an aspir- ation for something lovelier, purer, something grander and more power ful than real life affords. This great old poet had not learned the super ticial doctrine of later day, that poetry tlourished more in uncultiva- ted soil, and that imagination shapes its brightest visions from the mists of superstitious age; he had no dread that knowledge accumulated would smother his genius, but first ascended to tho height of knowledge as far as it had been explored, then wisdom itself was left to indulge in the day dream. Now, in this in- stance it is left for us to decide what we owe to the dreamer.
 We too have day dreams, but we are not so fortunate as to be en- dowed with the gift of expression, consequently ours remain shut up in our own little finite souls.
