The true friend of labor is the rich man who pays laborers good wages not the seedy loafer who talks loud against capital in beer saloons, agitating his thin and doing no work.

Howells says that people now a days would not enjoy novels in the style of Thackeray. That is not the reason, though, why Howells does not write novels in the style of Thackeray. The Republican platform of Indiana ays "The electoral vote of Indiana will be given for Harrison and Morton." The Boston Herald remarks 'Nough aid. Let the polls be now closed!"

This was not even true of Southern women in the days before the oivil war when they had slaves to do their bidding. Certainly it is far from the case in this age of practical, everyday existence. Our women are doing their work nobly in every department and walk of life, and it would be difficult to find more self-helpful and useful people.

To attempt to enumerate in any detail the workoutside the household in which Southern women are employed, wonld be a considerable undertaking, and it is proposed here only to eail attention to the women who are engaged in the conduct and control of newspapers in Louisiana. These publications are not mere story papers nor manuals of fancy needlework, absurd cookery and dress fashions. On the contrary they are newspapers with succinct records of current events, with vigorous editorial expressions on current subjects of politics, commerce and industries, and they take rank with the best publications of their olass produoed and controlled by men. At the head of the publio journals owned and controlled by women, not only in Louisiana, but in the world, is the Picayune a daily metropolitan newspaper, employing all the latest aids and processes of modern journalism, in which steam and electricity are important factors. Mrs.

E. J. Nicholson, of the firm of Nicholson whose name stands at the head of its editorial page, is its controlling spirit. This brilliant, brave and distinguished woman, whose interesting and striking experience as a journalist and poet has been a theme for so any pens, is well known to the American press and abroad as well. She is a Southern lady, to the manner born, a native of Mississippi, of Old and honorable French Huguenot stock.

She inherited a large proprietary interest in the Picayune, which has been continuousiy issued daily in this city for more than half a century, and tor over ten years she has presided over its destinies with great ability. Thanks to her lofty sense of right, her remarkable courage, the heroism with which she resolved to do her duty under all circumstances, a fund of common sense unusual in one so young and inexperienced, and more distinguished from being associated with an intelligence at oncqwtlf-' liant and witty to a high decree' and a nature sympathetio aud' euthusiastio, Mrs. Nicholson has achieved a phenomenal success where so many others would have failed She, moreover, possessed a happy faculty of choosing her assistants and of enlisting not only their most faithful services but a chivalrous devotion. As a result she raised the journal over which she has presided! from a eondition of serious financial embarrassment to complete independence and a high Btate of prosperity. It is not intended to write the history of the Picayune here.

Time and space wonld fail, for its annals are to a large extent those of the metropolis of the South, but to speak of the Louisiana newspapers eonduoted by women without mentioning at least the work of the most eminent woman in the whole world of journalism would hays been manifestly improper. Next in point of age and influence is the Pioneer of Assumption, published at Na poleonville, in the parish of Assumption, in the heart of the sugar region of Louisiana. Its proprietor and conductor is Mrs. Susan Dupaty, an accomplished daughter of an old and honorable French family. The paper is published in both the English and French languages, two of its four pages being printed in' the former and the other two in the latter tongue.

The Pioneer is in the thirty-first year of its age and is one of the best country weekly journals in the State. It is a brave, outspoken paper and takes great interest in politics, having been, during the last oanvass for State officers, an active and able representative of the Nionolls reform movement. Next, in point of age. is the St. Tammany Farmer, owned and published at Covington, the seat of government of St.

Tammany parish, by Mrs. S. V. KentzeL The Farmer, which is in its fourteenth year, is oae of the most prominent papers in the Florida parishes of Louisiana, a aection embracing a portion of the State east of the Mississippi River and north of the chain of lakes and Bayou Manchac. and which, before its annexation to the United States formed the Republic of West Florida.

It is devoted to agriculture, politics and the great lumber interests and industries of the region it represents, and in the late State canvass was an active supporter of Governor Mo-En cry. The Gretna Courier, ac excellent eight page weekly, published in the thriving seat of government of Jeffer-en parish, which is really a suburb of New Orleans, is owned and edited by Mrs. Ava H. Hildenbrand. a charming and cultivated lady who gracefully wore iter widow's weeds longer than many of her devoted admirers could well endure, and within a few days past she yielded to the urgent claims of Mr.

C. Soypp, a prominent and popular gentleman, intimately identified with the leading manufacturing interests of Gretna. Journalism is not, however, to be deprived of her valuable services, for she will continue to conduct her prosperous paper, which is in the tenth year of its existence. The Conrier is much devoted to the extensive manufacturing enterprises for which Gretna is becoming the seat, and in the last State canvass it ably supported Governor McEnery. The youngest, but by no means the least important of these journals which testify to the editorial and managerial abilities of Louisiana women, ia the Carroll Banner, published at Lake Providence in a rich region along the Mississippi River.

It is owned and eonduoted by Mrs. M. L. Garner, a refuted and cultured lady whose courage, firmness and devotion to prinoiple were many times proved during the last State canvass, when the Banner ably and successfully championed the cause of General Nicholls. Her excellent journal is in its fourth volume and has maintained itself where several newspaper ventures by the sterner sex have failed.

It will not bo easy to find among the country weekly papers of any State a better showing in the way of successful, practical journalism than tfeose named above can present, while the charming and lovely women who eon-duct them must take a high place in the ranks of American journalism without regard to sex. Ws have been able hers barely to mention those who eontrol the publio press, but to treat them as they merit would 11 a long and moat interesting chapter, while an account of the brilliant and noble and beautiful women who are either daily workers on the press of this city or are regular and extensive contributors to its columns, would fill another delightful chapter. The Picayune will give further attention to these interesting subjects as occasion offers. THE PORTKAIT GALLKitl OP FICT10S. The greatest novelists, those whose fame has survived the changes of literary fashion, have left behind them galleries of character-portraits that seem to ns as real as the people who live in authentio history.

This is not to say that those portraits are strictly realistic in the most modern sense of the term. The persons represented are often exceptional in their strength or in their weakness, and their lives are full of surprises; but they are real in the sense that they have made npon ns an impression of actual acquaintance. Fielding. Scott, Dickens. Thackeray and George Eliot possessed this vivid and vitalizing power in a pre-eminent degree.

Tom Jones, Rebecca, Pecksniff, Colonel Newcome and Felix Holt are people that we have known, and we cannot keep it in mind that they have had only an imaginary existence. It is not that we are reminded of them by the people whom we meet every day. Their traits are too highly accentuated for that it is only ac long intervals that we find characters so intense in the world about us. But this is one of the reasons why we seem to know them so intimately. Neutral characters make no impression, aud very complex characters confuse us and leave us without a definite conception of their moral outlines.

Dickens' strength in this regard was also his weakness. Striving to avoid vagueness, he fell into exaggeration. But this eriticism is not applicable to the other great writers whom we have mentioned. We do not believe that either Howells or James, either Dandet or Zola ever painted more to the life than Thackeray. It is true that human society is not made up wholly of strong and striking characters, and no picture of society as a whole could be considered adequate which should not represent the majority of its men and women airtrsatially commonplace.

But it iff' not always the purpose of tbcri'velist to portray society as a whole. Some very powerful stories turn upon a single situation and introduce a dramatit pertona that might be counted upon the fingers of one hand. Thackeray's most important works, however, were not of that sort. Neither were George Eliot's. They undertook to unfold a panorama of life, and to reckon with all the forces that make np the sum of human happiness and misery.

The magnanimous and the mean, the lofty and the lowly, the hero and the coward, the ease and the simpleton, all had for them a certain importance. But they were, so to speak, under a contract to be interesting, and therefore they bestowed the greatest care upon the most original and forceful of their characters. Some of the most accomplished writers of' our day have made a determined effort to exoite interest in the commonplace not necessarily in poor and obscure people but in people who never do or say anything very remarkable, and whom one is not likely either to love or to hate with much intensity. Mr. Howells has denied the existence Of Renins, and he has not been very far from denying the existence of the heroic.

The consequence is that in his later books he has only escaped dullness by the fascination of a brilliant style. So far as he goes he is realistic enough; but it seems to us that he seldom cats to the quick. The true artist is always on the lookout for subjects susoeptible of artistlo treatment. It makes a vast difference to him whether he paints a Grecian vase or a shaving mng, a kilted Highlander or a dude ia evening dress. When we think over the list of the latter-day novels most applauded by our most approved critics we are compelled to confess that they have contributed very little to that portrait gallery of fiction which has been reserved for the immortals.

It is very rare indeed that we find in their pages a picture whioh lingers in the memory. This is the more remarkable from the fact that they abound with elaborate descriptions. They lack earnestness and sympathy, and they are as devoid of tne picturesque aa they are of the. heroic. Another very observable thing in the works of the school to which we refer is that with all their light, irony and ready wit.

they are rarely quoted. We admire their sparkling sentences and forget them. And when we have once read them we do not care to read them again. Now, one of the surest proofs of the greatness of a book is the frequency with which you can read it. You can read Rob Roy, Martin Chuzzlewit, Vanity Fair and Middlemarch again and again; but you won't care to wade through "The Minister's Charge" more than once.

The City In the Sea. Many have read Foe's "City In the Sea." All who have possessed trinkets of amber and have been told that this interesting snoatanee Is tbe mm of trees of peculiar forest growth which once stood on the shores of the German ocean, but by the sinking of the land have ages ago been swallowed up by the sea, wlU feel the mysterious charm that attaches to this strange stone which taught to the Greeks their first lessons In electricity. The ancient story of the lost Atlantis engnlfed in the Atlantic ocean la another chapter in this wonderful and terrible geolory. one of these myths has recently been made the theme of a musical composition, Laio's opera of MLe Rold'Ya." The scene la laid In the ancient elty of Ts or Is, which once stood on the coast of Brittany but la new sunk Into the sea. According to an old legend Grallon, King- of Cornwall, had his capital at Is.

The King was a model of piety, having been converted by St. Augustine. His beautiful daughter Dahut was a monster of wickedness, while In face and form she. betrayed no sign of her extreme depravity. Every night she enjoyed the society of a new and distinguished lover whom she eaused to be murdered so that each day migbt bring a fresh favorite.

The elty was built en low ground, protected from the sea by enormous dykes and sluice gates locked with a golden key which was always kept by the king. The heavens became angry with Daunt and with the elty, aad oae night the fool fiend earns In the guise of a lever and asked Dahut to get the golden key frem her father's neck, which she did while he was asleep. The fiend opened the gates aad tit water spread over the elty. Grallon leaped upon his horse, taking Dahut behind him tor be loved her In spite of her evil ways and rode fer his life. But a voice cried, "Let go the accursed one that rides behind thee and Debut's arms were loosened and she fell off Into the sea.

The waves were stayed at the spot where she perished. The elty was swallowed up la the anrry ocean, and the beautiful sinner who had brought oa this calamity was aooastomed afterwards to haunt the rooky coasts In the forms of a siren who lured mariners to their destruction. This la the story, more or leas modified, which has been made the basis of the libretto which Edouard Blau has furnished for Laio's opera. A writer In the London Globe upon the traditions of the engulf ment of cities on the French coast says "The disclosure, by the displacement of a mass of sand during high tides, of a forest that mast have been burled for some twenty centuries at least. The situation Is jast opposite St.

Malo; the forest Is supposed to have once extended from St. Malo beyond Mont Saint MieheL This disco Terr is considered of great sclentlfio interest, as It affords a remarkable Illustration of the gradual sinking of the French shore. The progress of this sinking during the last 3000 years Is clearly shown In an old map fonnd at the Abbey at Mont Saint Michel. Within no more than seven centuries as many as seven parishes are said to have disappeared by the subsidence of this region. French geologists estimate that the gradual sinking of the soil of Brittany.

Normandy. Artols, Belgium and Holland Is not less than sevea feet a century. At this rate it Is calculated that In about ten centuries all the channel ports will be destroyed, and Paris itself will have become a maritime city. In another ten centuries it Is predicted that the French capital will have become entirely submerged, excepting, perhaps, that the tops of the Pantheon, of the Aro de Triomphe and other such monuments may be discernible at low water by the people who will then be living. There is said to be a tradition In Brittany that every fire yesrs, on the first night of May, when the clock strikes twelve, the city aud castle of the Princess emerge from the sea, walls dam out the waters, and a door Is opened into the castle.

Then he who dares to go Into the fifth saloon will find a magical ring, by means of whioh all bis wishes may be gratified; but he must hasten, for when the last stroke of midnight sounds, the spell Is broken, the door closes, the floods roaring and surging pour into the fatal city and the sea closes over the summits of Its loftiest spires and domes in which the bells still hang and whose faint tolling as they are washed by the waves Is heard by the fishermen as they sail over the engulfed metropolis. An Episode of a Tragedy. One of the episodes of the Brooks-Preller tragedy at St. Louis, whioh recently resulted in the execution of Brooks on the bad a woman for its central figure. She was Intimately associated with him in San Francisco, where he stopped in bis flight after the murder, and a fruitless effort was made by the prosecution In He Louis to secure her attendance as a witness at the time of the trial.

She was recently murdered at Singapore, on the Malay peninsula, with some companions with whom she was spending an evening in a publio garden. She was known as Grace Holt, a beautiful girl, 19 or 20 years old, with black hair, black eyes and voluptuous figure. She, despite the vortex of disgrace in which she was en-' gulfed, evidently possessed refinement, culture and intelligence of a superior order. She refused to accompany Brooks to New Zealand, but soon afterward went to Hong Kong, where she adopted the native Chinese dress and by the magnificence of her costumes and her beauty attracted universal attention. She was forbidden by the authorities to appear on the streets and was finally forced to leave the country.

She subsequently made her appearance at Singapore, and one night while visiting a tea garden with two companions the three were murdered, their bodies crashed with stabs, while the woman's head waa severed from her body. Her real name and history are not revealed, but she attracted extraordinary and universal attention in two hemispheres and was connected with two bloody and notorious murders, one of which waa her own. Perhaps what is known of her is tar lees astonishing and Infamous than that which is concealed. Strange that one so beautiful can be so depraved. Elegant Furnitouk bt auction Thdks-Day JSkxt.
