Our recent plays are mainly taken
from French sources, and an attempt is
often if vainly made to retain their
dramatic effect and yet to exclude that
treatment which makes the essence Of a
French work written for French au-
diences. Plays seem often to be vamped
up for long run and for short life, in
the higher sense of dramatic life. We
also frequently adapt novels, mostly Of
a melodramatic character, for the stage.
One pregnant instance may suffice
1.-THE Scarlet Letter" has been presented
with "happy ending" Oh, shade OF
injured Hawthorne! A very fine MARIA
tive which depends upon psychological
analysis cannot well be made into a
good drama Action is so much coarser
than thought that the Morbid pathology
of a story of passion, guilt and sorrow,
with every motive dissected and every
character analysed, becomes a mere COM
monplace adultery and very ordinary
melodrama
Hawthorne is to be. read, not seem
His power consists in analytical study
and his fine essence escapes the realism
of the stage. That which is left for act
ing is the mere residuum, the vile body,
of his delicate, almost supersubtle con-
ception. He is great author, but not
an essentially dramatic one. His method
escapes the acting drama. playwright

was such things that appealed to him. He
knew little about the political business of
the Senate, and while he thought little
OF the great political significance of a
speech, he would remember the speech
ana its peculiar effect on the Senate
and the occupants of the galleries. He had
no politics, except that he was an intense
union man, and to him the country was
one, and political divisions seemed insig-
nlncant. All senator's were simply sen
atorS TO him, and that title called forth
his most intense interest and respect
IL was enough for him to know that a
senator wanted something. He was sure

Republicans and democrats were alike to

An instance occurred about a quarter
of a century ago which showed how cool
capt Bassett could be under trying cir
cumstances. 1t was in connection with
that famous, exciting scene which took
place in the Senate lobby when Senator
Willard Salisbury came to the capitol in
a condition which caused him to lose con-
troll of himself. Senator Salisbury was
to be quieted and the inoffensive Bassett
was chosen to approach him in order to
pacify him The former did't quite under

muzzle to the captains chest, saying. in

When there was high state of excite

Bassett to carry papers from one house

participant in the proceeding, yet Capt
Bassett was the victim of a good deal of
hard feeling, and he received anonymous
letters threatening his life However

LOwNDEs SUPERIOR COURT.
The Slayer of n Convict Guard Es-
canes the GaIIOws.

Valdosta, Ca, Dec. 1s.--The regular No
vember term of the superior court, which
was adjourned on account of the death OF
a relative of Judge Hansell, is now in
session here.
In the case of Sam Johnson, charged
with the killing of a negro convict guard
at McRee's camps, some time ago, the
attorneys agreed upon a verdict of guilty
of murder with a recommendation OF
mercy The crime for which Johnson was
arraigned was an unproVoked murder
and but for his plea of guilty, he would
doubtless have been hung. He killed the
guard to effect his escape, and the killing
was of a most brutal nature.
Grant Burton, charged with killing a
negro woman in the southern part of the
county, has been on trial to-day and the
case went to the jury about / O'Clock. The
strongest evidence against Burton was the
dying statement of the woman, who stated
positively that he was the slayer.
1t is understood that an application will
be made for a continuance of the case
against John McDougle for killing a young
negro in the heart of the city a few weeks
ago. The tragedy at the time, occasioned
a good deal of excitement, and the trial
of McDougle is of more than ordinary In
terest. McDougle has been prominent
among the negroes here, being a good car
penter, while his victim was harmless
inoffensive young negro, who was en-
ployed as porter in the store of Roberts,
Crawford & Co.
The trial of the brute who attempted
an assault on the aged woman near Nay
lor a couple of weeks ago will come up
during this session, and will be watched

NEGRO DAY AT ATLANTA.
Every Effort Being Made to Draw a
big Crowd to the Show.

Atlanta, Ga. Dec. 1S-The committee
of colored men having in charge the ar
rangements for negro day at the exposi-
ton, which is fixed for Dec. rs, adopted
a resolution to-day, asking the colored
ministers throughout the land to preach
a special sermon, or deliver an address on
Sunday, Dec. %, with reference to the ne
gro exhibit at the Atlanta exposition and
what it means to the race, and to urge a
full turnout of the colored people to wit
ness the exhibit and the exercises of that
day. Among the speakers on the pro-
gramme for that day are some of the best
known orators of the race. Prof. r. r.
Wright of the Georgia State College, one
of the best known negroes in Georgia;
Rev. Y. L. Browne president of the Col
ored Savings Bank at Richmond Va. and
Hon. Isaiah T. Montgomery, who made
the speech in the Mississippi convention
are among the speakers. The negroes are
arranging through a citizens committee
for full turnout of their race in Atlanta
and it is safe to say that negro day will
be one of the red letter days of the eXposi-
ton. Commissioner l. Garland Penn is
in possession of information from Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Virginia, North Caro-
lima, Texas and Mississippi to the effect
that larger delegations will take adyan-
tage of the low rates and be present.

as to why he did not sell the land that
he loved every inch of Georgia soil and
that he would not part with foot of land
he owned. He stated that he often felt
like walking over all the state so he could
know it better and possibly love it more
He said, in a conversation with your cor

Brunswick, Ga. Dec. 17.-There has been
more or less dissatisfaction in the ranks
of the local naval reserves for some time.
due TO the seemingly utter disregard with
which the organization is treated by the
national government. Lieut.. Aiken. the
commanding officer. finally ordered all

them that Congressman Turner would
give his personal attention toward Sc

extracts from the annual report to the
Secretary of the Navy of the operations
for the naval militia, and by them
clearly convinced the company that the
government did not intend to neglect
them, but that there was no appropria-

feeling much better over the situation.

DIMES COTTON MILL PRODUCTS.
They should BE Completely Finished
I'm the south.

Augusta, Ga. Dec. 1S.-At a meeting Of
the Southern Manufacturers Association.
representing all the cotton mills with
headquarters at Augusta, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the Manufacturers As
ISOLATION believes that it will be of great
advantage to the south to completely
finish it's cotton mill products instead
of sending them elsewhere to be finished,
and that it cordially approves of all proper
efforts to secure bleacheries, print works.
starch works and similar industries in
the south.
Resolved, That the establishment in
the south of such industries will open
many new outlets for southern products,
by enabling southern mills to offer finished
products in many markets; whereas they
are now confined TO practically one out
let, namely, the "Converters. who buy
the partially finished product to which
southern mills are now restricted, be-
cause they have no present means of per-
forming the final processes of manufac-
ture.
Resolved, That numerous outlets to a
great body of consumers and a diversity
of products adapted to all classes of con-
sumers, are the most effective means for
preventing undue competition. We there
fore cordially approve of the efforts to
diversity southern cotton mill products,
recognizing that they tend TO benefit our
present investments by creating new de-
ucts.
Resolved, That the proposed Chicago
and Southern States Cotton Exposition
will serve the purposes set forth by prov
ing to the whole people of America that
the south can manufacture cotton goods
of all classes of perfect quality, and at
far less cost than is elsewhere possible;
whereby it will be made clear that the
south presents a very inviting field for
the profitable investment of capital.
Resolved, That we, therefore, heartily
aDprove the Chicago and Southern States
Cotton Exposition, and commend 1t to the
support OF southern mill interests.
