nud Grammar Correspondence of The Republican Boston Monday November 21 1870 Milton says somewhere (I quote from memory) "As well almost kill a man as kill a book' for who kills a man kills a reasonable creature image but he who destroys a good book kills reason As it pays to read books if wisely and well so it may pay to write a word about them for if the book be good it is well to introduce it to others and if poorit maybe made like folly a "stalking "Why and is the title of a very good and interesting book upon the Chinese at home and in this Why they come here and How they get here The author Russell II Con well writes from his own observations in China and has wrought them into a volume which gives a great deal of practical information many facts and hints that will help to form a fair judgment in the present Chinese question in this country and much mournful recital which cannot but quicken a great deal of sympathy for the kind of poor that comes hither dream ing of a land of flowers and of a stone whereby he may be enabled to purchase his family out of slavery and provide better for the ghosts of his ancestors The account of the practical working of the patriarchal govern ment in China with its boasted competition sys tem might have been read with advantage by Dr Bushnell before he wrote his rather silly book on "woman It might have taught him that the better the system the worse its results in general in the hands of a people ig norant degraded and seltli and far below the point of intelligence and virtue supposed by the system and that men either here or with the ad vantage of his much lauded Chinese system have not succeeded so well in governing alone as to make it quite certain that tbeadventof woman to political power will make things worse than they have been also a wise study of these same facts by Wendell Phillips might a little diminish his faith (if he has it for his pre cepts on this point seem a little confused) that legislation is a sovereign panacea for all the ills that flesh is heir to The volume has something to say upon the mysterious question of the first peopling of America I subjoin an interesting paragraph from the comments on the attraction which the Chinese appear to feel for this country: A STRANGE LEGEND In a letter dated January 9 1867 written by a renchman named Anthony Bailiet who seems to have been well acquainted with the social cus toms of the Chine and whose letter was sent to the Rot al society of antiquarians there is a rather remarkable statement from which I ven ture to make an is a curious tradition in which the pres ent generation of Tingchauese scholars express the most implicit belief 1 have heard it in sev eral different localities and with but slight varia tion It is in substance nearly as follows There was a great family called Tooloong which lived in the land of ukien and became rich When a great conqueror came from the North and the Emperor Ilia was not able to protect his children Tooloong and bis family joined themselves with some barbarian Jews (or Assyrian) from the West and abandoned their homes in grief They gave them selves into the hands of the gods The great dragon watched over them by night and Yu wang shangty by day This poor family were hungry and the dragon brought them rice and garlic They were thirsty and Lwe Koong sent them showers of wine or more than a thou sand days Tooloong wandered northward and eastward until the icicles grew on the skirts of his garments still the dragon said and heart was stout Then they found a great bridge as white as the summer cloud and very strong The barbarians hesitated but Too loong was brave They all crossed over On the other side was a new China where no one lived The (trees ivere beautiful and the beasts kind Tooloong wondered But they kept on till a land of flowers was seen in the distance The barbarians said us not go further it will burn But Tooloong said 1 stop not till the dragon So they entered the land of flowers Here they were blessed The gods were verykind Tooloong wanted a pagoda and one came up from a cabbage He wished for a house and great blocks of the stone mountain came and arranged themselves into a dwelling Tooloong built great cities in the flower country and died Then some of his children tried to come back to China But the great bridge was gone So they all with the exception of Nung yang were sent back to the flower country bjT the gods He flew over on a cloud and told his kindred of the great things Tooloong had Bailiet states that "the Americans whom the Chinese hear of as living in a great country to the North and are believed to be cither the descendants of Tooloong or in some way con nected with them Whether this tradition has anything but a local circulation among the peo ple of Tingchau he does not state But be it lo cal or national it is a remarkable tradition when taken in connection with the great mystery that shades the early history of human life in this country' If it have any foundation in fact it must be a reference to the manner in which America was first peopled North and would very consistently refer to the direction of Behring straits The bridge might have been ice or an isthmus cov ered with snow which has since been submerged or simply a fabulous way of accounting for the passage about which little was known The barbarian Jews may have been the lost tribes of and the a symbolic term for the laud of Mexico Then the "great and the moving blocks of would constantly refer to those wonderful structures the ruins of which at and Uxmal astonish the antiquarian and whose gigantic pillars neatly carved decora tions and deep hued frescoes compare fa vorably with those of Egypt and Syria It seems the more curious as the tradition was found in the interior and not on the sea shore It is also a singuLr fact that the images of gods which are manufactured in the vicinity of Bo hca or tea hills near which Tingchau is situat ed are the exact counterparts of the idols found in California New Mexico and Mexico and to be seen in nearly every American muse um Another point is that the tradition was found in one of the two provinces from which come nearlv all the emigrants for America What influence it may have had upon the action of these emigrants directly or indirectly cannot now be determined There are also books and essays written ages ago which describe America with singular accuracy under the name of sang It is said by Chinamen returning from California that they find a race of people (In dians) in America who talk their language which goes to corroborate the idea that America was first settled by their ancestors and it cannot fail to influence their ideas of our country and people Another book of travel published by Putnam of New York Life in by Geo Kennan is full of entertaining instruction exci ting adventure humor and wit many bits of charming description and withal is well written 1 copy the following account of a marvellous au'ora witnessed by the author apropos of the milder displays of similar splendor which lately made our night skies so A SIBERIAN AURORA Late in the evening just as we were preparing to go to bed Dodd happened to go out of doors for a moment to look after his dogs but no soon er had he reached the outer door of the entry than he came rushing back his face ablaze with excitement shouting Robinson! come out With the vague impression that the village must be on fire 1 sprang up and without stopping to put on any lurs ran hastily out fol lowed closely by Robinson1 Hardee and Smith As we emerged into the open air there burst sud denly upon our startled eyes the grandest exhibi tion of vivid dazzling light and color of which the mind can conceive The whole universe seemed to be on fire A broad arch of brilliant prismatic colors spanned the heavens from east to west like a gigantic rainbow with a long fringe of crimson and yellow streamers stretching up from its convex edge to the very zenith At short intervals of one or two seconds wide luminous bands parallel withjthe arch rose suddenly out of the northern horizon and swept with a 'swift steady majesty across the whole heavens like long' breakers of phosphorescent light rolling in from some limitless ocean of space Every portion of the vast arch was momentarily wavering trembling and changing color and the brilliant streamers which fringed its edge swept back and forth in great curves like the fiery sword of the angel at the garden of Eden Ina moment the vast auroral rainbow with all its wavering streamers began to move slowly up toward the zenith and a second arch of equal brilliancy lormeti directly under it snooting up another long serried row of slender colored lances toward the north star like a battalion oi the celestial host presenting arms to its commanding angel Every instant the display increased in unearthly grandeur The luminous bands re volved swiftly like the spokes of a great wheel of light across the heavens the streamers hurried back and forth with swift tremulous motion from the ends of the arches to the center and now and then a great wave of crimson would surge up from the north and fairly deluge the whole sky with color tinging the white snowy earth far and wide with its rosy reflection But as the words of the prophecy the heavens shall be turned to formed themselves upon my lips the crimson suddenly vanished and a lightning Hash of vivid orange startled us with its wide all pervading glare which ex tended even to the southern horizon as if the whole volume of the atmosphere had suddenly taken fire 1 even held my breath a moment as I listened for the tremendous crash of thunder which it seemed to me must follow this sudden burst of vivid light but in heaven or earth there was not a sound to break the calm silence of night save the hastily muttered prayers of the frightened native at my side as he crossed him self and kneeled down before the visible majesty of God and Their by Richard Grant White is a valuable work A careful attention to our current literature will convince anyone that it is high time the English language should be studied in this country 1 relished par ticularly also the criticism of the com mon but rather snobbish remark that English is better spoken and written in England than here also iiis critical remarks on Aektison con cerning whom I have long had an impression (for 1 never could wade through many of his writ ings) that seldom has a man owed so much of his literary reputation to fortunate circ*mstances and so little to himself Slang is defined as vocabulary of genuine words or unmeaning jar gon used always with an arbitrary and conven tional signification and generally with humorous I think slang comes of a meager vocabu lary and that its essence is indetiniteness where by our word answers for many purposes Take for example anything is bully a ser mon is bully a clown is bully a man and a dog are bully heat and cold quiet and noBe wake fulness and sleep music and mobs are all bully The word simply expresses satisfaction in the most indi finite way possible and is applicable to any kind of satisfaction Anything that is good of its kind or useful for the moment is bully There is coarse and low language which is defi nite enough but such expressions are more properly vulgarisms than slang PAUL NORTH A TN I J) OWN SOU Til A YANKEE IX NUli'L'll 1 Wilmington and its The bate I'oiiM rv'itive Victory and its The Proposed Impeachment of Gov 11 1 lie iot ausc Correspondence of The Republican Wilmington November 1870 The city of Wilmington has a narrow escape from commercial greatness A sand bar across the mouth of the Cape ear river is all that lies in the way The harbor is excellent for vessels which can enter it and is much frequented by the light coasters of our domestic trade But the great vessels that plow deep into the ocean with the heavy freights of export and import and bring wealth and dignity to the ports which can float them are excluded from Wil mington Sand is the great obstacle to the com mercial prosperity of a state which has been en riched by nature with varied and great resources A good harbor is one the chief needs of North Carolina The blockade runners built forspend and light draught were extremely partial to this low coast and shallow port Once past the slow er heavier built blockaders they were protected by the sand under their keels quite as effectively as by the guns of ort isher A very large amount of the material comforts of life as well as of some of the munitions of war found their way into the confederacy at this point which the vigilance of no squadron could seal entirely The city of Wilmington has a few of sand under it so that it rises a little above the low level of the surrounding region It is a dir ty city The yellow lever sometimes scourgesit fearfully and no wonder There is abundant reason for it One would expect the people of the city to have the whole family of fevers nt once and all the while for if there be favorite breeding places for febrile diseases they surely may be seen in the foul streets and fouler back yards of such a city as this The traveler famil iar with the careful regulations of better ordered places feels as he walks about like crying for thrift! for dirt carts! for a' board of health! for chloride of lime! for a deluge of soap and water to wash this city clean The negro appears here on the ascending scale in the shape of a neatly uniformed policeman I noticed a squad of seven of these ebony protectors of the peace and with them marching on in apparently sublime indifference to his disgrace was a white skinned knight of the locust What would Tam many and Saint Patrick say to that? Tammany however from Grand Sachem to minutepappoose just now rejoices over North over the result of the election just passed resulting in the overthrow of the radical party In the north this means simply a defeat of the republican party and a herald of coining triumphs for the democ racy Here it has a higher meaning it is a suc cessful effort by the best elements of the popula tion of the state to secure a change of adminis trationin the affairs The pleasing pros pect of such a change for the better is on all sides the theme of remark and congratulation The new legislature is just now convening The program laid down for it by the more extreme of the conservative party is the immediate im peaehment of Gov Holden No man can be in the state twenty four hours without being profoundly impressed with the conviction that the governor has made himself unspeakably unpopular with the best class of North Carolina people Intelli gent and good men men who would not com plain of a radical administration if it were only pure and economical solely because of radical character now complain that for two years the I government has been conducted in a reckless plundering style They charge that the credit of the state has been well nigh ruined that the bonds of the state have been immensely and needlessly that twenty millions of dol lars have been added to the state debt for which no decent equivalent can be shown that the gov ernor has allowed himself in high handed un constitutional and oppressive acts for political purposes as in the ease of those counties which were held under martial law for weeks when such a proceeding was unwarranted and insulting They regard Holden as a political trickster with out principle and without scruple They say of him that he was warmly in the secession move ment that he bought a new gold pen with which to sign his name to the ordinance of secession de claring that he should hand it down to his chil dren as a memento of his most illustrious deed and since then for the sake of position has sold himself lias eaten all his words and when in position has mieptesented the state to the general government and misgoverned it to a de gree that was literally intolerable On such grounds they would be glad to see him impeached It is doubtful what the legislature will do Im peachment trials are long and expensive and there will be some opposition to dealing with him on the score of time and economy The outgoing Legislature anxious to have a hand in the money bags voted each member sev en dollars per day for his services and a liberal mileage in addition so that some of the mem bers worldly wise as if they had been long in politics made a fine speculation by traveling some hundreds of needless miles on their way to Raleigh This is a grievance Two members of the House died during a session In each case an ap propriation of 8500 was made for the escorting nomeof the remains of these legislators one to Ver mont and the other to a distant state This is an other grievance And it has unmistakeably a bad look At the North we should not enjoy the pay ing of taxes for the escorting of our dead legisla tors to their homes in Alabama or California We should feel as these people do that when a man presumes to assist in the law making of a state he ought to be identified with its interests to call it home and to be willing to be buried in its territory There have been some good men perhaps who have come here for po litical purposes since the war but the great ma jority of those known here as carpet baggers have been men with little character at home and less in Carolina Republicanism as a party idea has been badly introduced and managed in this state and to this fact the conservative victory is largely owing It would strike any fair minded person here now that the late election was a pro test against foreign and corrupt rule the protest of the best men here the men in whom is the hope of the state for the future the men who want no offices who have no mind to be disloyal but who have the taxes to pay and are profound ly interested in prosperity Educated men from the North who would have been glad to be republicans and wh would surely be such in Massachusetts or New York are in this move ment side by side with native born men who were always democrats and who fought lustily for the confederacy The struggle was not against re publicanism per sc it was against an administra tion which was sincerely believed to be injuring every interest of the state Said a shrewd edu cated unpolitical man from the North tome: Tammany is to New York city just that the radical party has become to North Carolina managed by just such rapacious and corrupt men" There are politicians in the conservative movement of course' mtn who can pull wires and will feather their own nests but the people of standing and thought have been singularly united in this effort to end the misdoings of what tiny regard an intemperate and venal adminis tration And it is the fact that conservatism has triumphed which is the significant thing the wheeling of the state into the democratic line is a minor consideration The ways of the poli tician like those of the are very peculiar and these trusting people may be disappoint! 1 in the fruits of tbeir but just now they are full of faith that the time is very near Of course I give you impressions of travel They are necessarily su perficial but they are yet in respect to these po litical matters impressions which are unavoid able The very air is full of voices to affirm the substantial truth of what is written here Another fact is fully impressed on the mind of the traveler viz the people of lhese states were thoroughly beaten in the war One hears no word or suggestion from any source which indi cates a lingering hope that the conflict may be by and by renewed with better results The cause these Carolinians fought for was dear to them they invested it with sacred attributes We know it by the sacrifices they made for it by their long and brave resistance to the federal ar mies And when the last blow was struck and their armies surrendered ami scattered they gave up the idea Th' ir cause became forever the which tbeir poets will celebrate and their historians immortalize and their fiction embellish as a tender memory Their heroes will be Lee and Longstreet and Jackson and Beaure gard and the Johnstons yes and Mosby and Belle Boyd We may call these leaders rebels traitors or what we will they are enshrined in the hearts of these people as iie personifications of all that is manly braiVifmd gentle in the knightly soldier They wire the leaders in the struggle of a desperate population dreaming that they might establish tor themselves a nation and fondly believing their dream long after al! the world beside knew it to be hopeless And we need not wonder at nor blame them for this thing Their idea was wrong their uprising un called for but such an incident of the war as 1 have here described was to lie expected Let those who think it strange read over the title of a popular novel Yourself in Ills Men do not so easily surrender admiration and aflection for those who led them and suffered with them in a conflict which enlisted the deep est feelings of their souls Women do not so easily forget a cause to which they gave their sons with tears and prayers These things will be remembered It is unavoidable and for the remembrance we ought not to judge the south rons hardly It is nil we can expect if now tliev will agree to say matter is settled the is sue is fought out and finished There is to be here one nation from which we yield the idea of separation and of which we are to remain a part Our cause is And this is what the people of the South say ami feel They have given up beaten not waiting to get breath to try again but anxious to get on as well as they' can under a central government which will not consent to be torn asunder Such is the impression made on me by conversation with prominent men and bv the general tone of the society into which 1 fall And there is a wide feeling of relief here over the abolition of slavery The planters and the merchants are relieved of resnonsibilitv for the negro Once he was property to have some sort ofcarc to be fed and housed and provided for in age and sickness He was sometimes a source oi piunr out always an expense Now he must care for himself said a gentleinanlv doctor lie down anil die without care lit thejold days half my practice was upon them the masters paving the The races seem to be drawing further and further apart Slavery lias damaged both Butin the working out of the problems of our future let us hope that the negro in the enjoyment of freedom and elevated by edu cation may have a place of usefulness and re spect Meantime and for long years through pa tience and labor the evils which have come upon the land through him may be gradually removed inch Land Commissioner Wilson of whom President Grant in his Cox letter disclosed a is thus sketched by George Alfred Townsend in tiie Chicago Tribune If we may be chary of the pity that the writer would awaken we can at least appreciate the honesty and fideli ty of 1 called upon Commissioner Joseph Wilson last riday My object was not to discourse with him upon which had suddenly come ever iris sky but to solicit a map and a report morning Mr Commission I said as the old plain garb and worn features appeared you give me your last Wilson semi shaven aged yet prompt as always replied 1 want to gratify everybody who lias the right and 1 have tried to be obliging and punctilious during ray forty two years of hard work under the The old voice became a little tremulous and 1 his nostril tremble He led the way to iiis small side office where over Lis jet of gas his cup of tea was warming Iliad seen him drink of it often before but never till now had I seen bis hand shake The curious old man took up the cun to drink and when lie looker! over the brim as ids eyes met mine a stream of magnet ism flowed between us and the tea appeared to burn him so that he grew watery at the eyes After an awkward pause he exhaled a part of a breath on which 1 distinguished the words: you see how bad they treat "Af ter 1 have worked forty two hard" never any charge made against me Yet to have the president say that he has had a suspicion about "My dear I said know nothing about your difficulties To me you have always appeared to be a devoted and sometimes an over sanguine man about the large affairs en trusted to you Have you any reason to suspect the secret of this late opposition to replied Commissioner Wilson was put here by Andrew Jackson a great years ago 1 have risen to my place from the humblest position Many efforts have been made to set me aside But this last one comes from such an unexpected source that I do not know how to treat it or what to reply" have had hard work Dr? Have you laid up I may have to go to the poor house and eat pea you can practice be fore the land office and make more money than you get at sir I will not de mean myself in that way I should not return here to make money out of the opportunies af forded me while in office" you prepare a patent for the New Idria first ordered two gentlemen heads of divisions here named Calver and Lenox to make an investigation in this case and report a preliminary decision They both reported in favor of a patent and sent it to me 1 also reported confirmatory and sent the decisions up to the secretary I wanted the thing out of my office The calumny audacity and villany of that McGarrahan gang had so dis gusted me and annoyed me filling my office with listeners and thieves that 1 was gratified to find the case coming to an end" Mr Wilson is per haps the oldest official in the United States in any high position He has been almost a super serviceable man taking undue pains with his work but had he served the government all the years of the politicians would have wanted his place The Portage Lake Ship The Portage Gazette gives the following account of the formal opening of the Portage Lake and Lake Superior ship canal on the IGth: In company with a goodly number of the leading citizens of Hanco*ck and Houghton we embarked on board of the tug Mentor on Wednesday morning and after a run of forty minutes we found ourself at that particular spot and witness of a scene on the ship canal which is destined to be long re membered by all who were so fortunate as to be present Here we found two powerful steam dredges facing each other distant but a step one in the water of Superior and the other in the wa ter of Portage surrounded by a large and enthu siastic concourse of people and as each monster shovel made its way into the thin partition that separated the two bodies of water the excitement bccamejintense and shouts rent the air inal ly when it became a question of a mere shovelful of earth as to which dredge should have the honor of first clearing the barrier the removal of which would be the beginning of a new epoch in our history and that of the commerce of the country suspense was at its highest point and not till the water of Lake Superior rushed past the bank on which we stood and mingled with tiiat of Portage Lake did we find that relief which one experiences at seeing the complete achieve ment of a great and important event In former issues of the Gazette we have pointed out the great benefit the opening of this canal would lie to the county of Houghton and in fact to the whole country and now that the thing is an as suredfact we cannot advise the people of Port age Lake too earnestly to set about establishing at once those branches oi' industry which can be carried on here so successfully The Latest Paris Paris is Paris still Notwithstanding the trouble that sur rounds and the destruction that threatens over whelm her she is ambitious to retain her old and long undisputed position as the leader in and the ruler oi' fashion The following extract from a letter in the Tribune de Bordeaux shows that war lias not yet cured her of her pride of dress 1 send you my letter on the fashions by balloon post i hope it will reach you and that in spite of William anil his innumerable and disagreeable escort the heroic city of Paris will not cease to dictate to the world the supreme law of elegance and good taste Some slight changes have been introduced into the present fashions There is especially a perceptible change in the mode of dressing the hair Taking advantage of the flight of certain personages who had gray thin or red hair and who inflicted on fashion their in dispensable false hair our Parisian ladies have at once restored to liberty their own locks so long bill under the despotic artificial chignon Brown plaits carefully smoothed down light ringlets at once graceful and natural have alone adorned for some days the delicate and pretty heads of our young ladies who are delighted to have their most beautiful adornment restored to them The writer then proceeds to describe at length the costumes of the season
