The former joined his committee in a report last year and then voted against the bill. The member from Lawrence has not yet had that distinction. Senator William R.

Black of Taunton is, they say, likely to become one of the popular members of the legislature. He is very well liked in Taunton. This was shown by the republican caucuses for the senatorial nomination last fall, when Mr Black won in a walk. The result was doubtless very gratifying to Mr Black, but it was extremely humiliating to the writer of this paragraph, who, a couple of days before the Taunton caucuses, relying on the "tip" of a Taunton man who was supposed to know what he was talking about, composed an article which proved conclusively that Mr Black had not the slightest chance of success. The special commission apoolntea to inveStigate the management of the charitable institutions of the commonwealth will probably file its report Monday.

The findings of this commission have been anxiously waited for. A very pretty quarrel is going on between the state board of lunacy and charity and the commissioners of almost every institution over which the board is supposed to have control. In fact it strikes the ordinary observer that there is a good deal of chaos in the condition of things, which exists today. Many observers will not be surprised If the special commission reports in favor of some radical change in the conduct of the state's affairs. The el Tit service commissionor, rather, the civil service principlewill undoubtedly be discussed at length in the senate tomorrow.

When the hour of adjournment for the upper branch arrived Friday the debate on this subject was beg-inning to get interestingly warm, and It is only fair to assume that both sides will be on hand Monday primed for the occasion. The civil service commissioners ask for an appropriation of $15,000 for 1897, an increase over last year of $4000. The question before the senate now is on Mr Lomasney's amendment offered during Friday' debate, to cut the amount down to $11.000. Retrenchment of expenses is the ostensible burden of the argument maintained by those who are fighting this appropriation, and Senator Cook of Worcester prophesied that this commission, if allowed to live, would in the course of 10 years come before the legislature asking for an annual appropriation of $200,000.

There are few Bostonians vrhe do not remember the old house in Bulfineh pl. made famous by the long residence of William Warren, whose name as an actor will endure as long as the traditions of the stage in Bost Before the old house disappeared. about a year ago, to give place to a tall hotel. a sale of Warren relies was held, and a host of admirers of the departed comedian were on hand to secure souvenirs. Among them was John H.

Mr Woodbury saw in the door one of the most eloquent reminders of the life and friendship of Warren. lie said to a friend: "I could look at that door for hours and see coming to and fro throligh the portal great actors, statesmen. divines.

poets, and men and women distinguished in many other walks of Ufa, who were among the intimate friends of Warren, and often enjoyed his hospitality in the old mansion In Buifinch pl." The door was given in chsargd of Andrew Lees for restoration by Mr Woodbury, after its removal by the carpenters. It is now restored to 'its ancient easement, and ready ta be turned over to Mr It is his purpose to give the door to some historical society. -The Bostonian society desired it, but had no room for it in its rooms at the old state house. A number of other societies are interested in but Mr Woodbury has not yet decided to which one he will give it. The esteem in which Warren was held was such as it not often accorded any man.

Mr Conant first a whig, but became a republican with the birth of the party. and has long been one of its most stanch Deacon Conant was the second born in a family of three children. and Is the only one of the trio now living.

Although Mr and Airs Conant have never been blessed with any children of their own, they have brought up no less than eve. Mr Conant has never used liquor nor tobacco in any and was never heard to utter an oath. Had he been but one year older be would have voted for Harrison and Tyler. "'Tippecanoe and Tyler Too," in 1841. He distinctly remembers the log cabin features of that memoratle campaign.

He has served the town of Shapleigh as collector and treasurer. and was a police officer for more than 20 years. Both Mr and Mrs Conant are members of the Free Baptist church of Springvale. Mr Conant's marriage with Drusilla Russell took place in the village of Springvale July 21. 1844.

Mrs Conant is the only daughter of Joshua. and Nancy (Stone) Russell. and was born In that part of the town of Waterbore that has, since her birth, on Sept 28. 1824. been annexed to the town of Alfred.

She is therefore 72 years of age. Mrs Conant is an expert in the manipulation of the old-fashioned spinning wheel, which she was taught to operate when she was a mere child and so diminutive In stature that she was obliged to stand on a little platform constructed for the purpose. i During The Globe correspondent's I visit. the old spinning wheei was Ibrought out. and Mrs Conantset It In motion, spinning thread from flax raised by Mr Conant during the war of the re- bellion, and it was whilein this attitude, with the genial deacon occupying a poettlon by her side.

Cost to the State for This Service Gossip on Beacon Hill. In the interest of economy a suggestion was made the other pay by a conservative member of the lower branch of the state legislature that it might be wise to establish an official corns of stenographers at the state house. Committees of the legislature, it has been, pointed out, are contracting the luxurious and high-toned, but somewhat expensive, habit of securing permission to employ stenographers to report hearings. An order embodying this request is rarely questioned. Legislative courtesy almost forbids a member of either branch to object to an order of this kind.

which is considered a matter of detail with which the members of the committee making the request alone are directly concerned. For instance: -Ordered, that the speciat committee appointed to hire StiZato the invisible means of Nurport of the ifielfibetS of the third house be given nut hority to employ a stenographer." Would pass as easily as the following: "Ordered. that the special committee appointed to add one cubit to the stature of the member from Om 51h Middlesex be given authority to empluy an official stenographer." It would be the business of no one except those who happened to be on the committees mentioned. The reporting of committee hearings is generally considered by the fraternity of stenographers "a soft snap," and it is a matter of common knowledge that there is not a little lobbying done to secure this work. During the last three years, according to the rep-yrt of the state auditor, $11,6.

has been spent by legislative committees alone for the services of stenographers in reporting hearings. Add to this the amount expended from the executive and council contingent funds for 1.94 and ISKi, in the attorney general's department for the same two years, and, also, the expense at the nautical training school investigation last summer, and the total foots over $15,000. The appended detailed statement showing' the amount expended by the state far the services of stenographers, outside of the salaries, which -are paid to stenographers regularly employed in the various departments of the commonwealth, is LEGISLATIVE commzrrEEs. 1894 Mercantile affairs $654.50 Railroad 34.75 Prisons 2121)0 Special caucus law 400.00 House committge on elections 1.7115.00 Total $3,003.25 Executive continaent Council contingent 4750 Attorney general's dept 761-91 Total 897.91 Total LEGISLATIVE CO Agriculture Eicctions Finance Harbors aud public lands 'Manufactures Mercantile affairs Metrupolitan affairs Public bealth Water supply COMMITTEES, 3895 $343.24 64.8S It 331.50 I(1t4 252.01) 25S.t.H) 262.98 343.25 0.0 WO Total Executive mutingent Executive council 295.04) Atty geueral'a department 1.135.00 $2,246.29 Total 1,571.00 Total Legislative committees. 1S06: Cities $204.40 Harbors awl public lands 150.75 Insurance 216.01 Manufactures 1.54M1.50 235.00 State house 176.40 Special senate committee to investigate charges ita to offer of a retainer to a member of tbe genate 80.60 Joint special committee to investigate the sets of the Norfolk county commissioners relative to the Dedham court house 8.799.50 Total $6,320.10 Nautical training able iirrestigation $1,100.00 There is another side to this question.

of course. and that is whether it would not be more expensive for the commonwealth to maintain a regular corps of stenographers than to employ them as occasion demanded. A gentleman who has had a long experience at the State house, and who professes to be an economist, told The Globe reporter that it would cost much more than the average expense of the last three years to maintain an official corps of stenographers for legislative work. He said that at least three expert shorthand reporters would be required, at salaries of 1250q. $1800 and MOO respectively, and in addition to this would be the expense of the typewriting.

The members of the house are again after State Fire Marshal Whitcomb. and a determined effort will be made this year to reduce his salary. Mr Whitoomb is now 'paid $4500 a year. Many people think it seems hardly fitting for him to be rewarded so liberally when the Insurance commissioner, his superior officer. is paid a smaller sum.

Besides, there is a feeling among the members of the legislature, how widespread it is remains to be seen, that the fire marshal's department is not the most important at the state house, and that many dollars are wasted in its maintenance. Hitherto Air Whitcomb has been able to defeat those who wanted to reduce his pay. He has another hard fight on this year. It does not seem too much to say that Edward L. Pierce of Milton is on the whole the ablest legislator at the state house this year.

Mr Pierce has natural talent. a trained mind. years of study and previous legislative experience to help him in the performance of his duties. No other member of the general court has all these advantages to such an extent as Mr Pierce possesses them. In the house Friday Mr Pierce made an admirable speech against a certain bill to allow the town of Fairhaven to go outside its debt limit for the sake of building sewers.

Of the merits of the question it is unnecessary to say anything. It may be that Fairhaven ought to be granted the privilege of doing what the town aFked for. in f4et Mr Pierce offered no objection but he eritielsed severely the habit of passing so much special legislation when an amendment to the general law would bring about the same result. It is only the tone of Mr Pierces speech that is considered here. It was the address of a publicist.

a man familiar with the affairs of the commonwealth and fully prepared in the lessons of history. If there were more legislators like Mr Pierce the blue book wouid be smaller every year. and the laws in it would be of a. better quality. Representative John A.

Woodbury of Hopkinton has been receiving a good many congratulations this year on his, to the halls of legislation. One tlisagreeable morning, late last spring. when the legislature of 1896 had almost finished its term of life, word came to the state house that Mr Woodbury har been run over by a railroad train. at South Framingham, and killed. Later news brought assurance that Mr Woodbury had not been killed.

Mr' it was some days before his fellow-members cauld be satisfied that he was really to recover from the accident which made the amputation of one of his feet necessary. Today he walk about with a stick. but his associate-congratulate him when they remember the hours during which they thought he had been ground to death by the cars. It was interesting last week to hear Mr Lawrence of Groton talk on the tuberculosis bill in behalf of the farmers. No one who looked at Mr Lawrence WOUld say he was a farmer, and yet he is one of those tillers of the soli who fortunately have means enough to live, even if the ground does not make adequate returns f3r the.

time and labor spent on it. Air Lawrence said one good thing, referring to the accusation that some of the owners of cows which had been killed had been paid more than their animals were worth. Alr Lawrence remarked that if any Massachusetts farmer could make a little money, even if It had to come out of the treasury of the commonwealth, he (Mr Lawrence) for one was glad of it. To that sentiment many other members of the house were willing to subscribe. Senators James H.

Derbyshire of Law- rence and Erastus Jones of Sperwer are having a close race to see which one shall say the least during his two years of service in the leg.slature. for it is not probable, at any rate, that either Quincy Gets Authority to Buy the Type. Re Dublican Alderman Prepared Speech that Wasn't 3Doken. Mayor Talked a While and Opposition Wilted. Councilmen From Ward 8 Were Disappointed.

Matter First Considered in Committee of the Whole. Mayor Quincy has been given authority to purchase material for the equipment of a municipal printing plant and is not trammeled by any stipulations as to amount, time, character, etc. The board of aldermen concurred with the common council In the passage of the order at a special meeting which the mayor called at 2 yesterday. During the day there were intimations that some opposition would bo shown by the republican members. The mayor called the republican aldermen to his office during the forenoon as fast as they came to city haU and talked the matter over with them.

When the board met to consider the matter an adjournment to the committee on public Improvement was taken, and there all opposition to the measure, if there was any, was easily disposed of. His honor was invited to meet the committee and he did so. His powers of persuasion and eloquence must have convinced at least one of the republican aldermen. This alderman had a speech all prepared which he was expected to deliver against the proposed printing-plant, and the councilmen from ward 8. who were also opposed to it, came to hear the mayor's plan scored.

When the committee returned to the aidermanto chamber, however, the report that the order ought to pass was accepted, and this action was taken immediately without any of the aldermen being obliged to go on record, the vote being one of those silent affairs that generally follows a lengthy session of the committee of the whole. The ward 8 councilmen were disappointed, as they had lost the afternoon, and after the session accused John Lee of squelching the republican member who was down for a red-hot speec'n. Mr Lee contended that the alderman has been convinced that his knowledge upon which he based his antagonism was meagre, and having possessed himself of further information he saw tnat he cottid do nothing but support the mayor. His honor sent a message to the board which explained his action in calling the special meeting, being desirous of having the order passed before the end of the financial year, which closes Jan 31. Following is the text of the CMM2111111ication: Jan SO, 1897.

To the Board of Aldermen: I have thought it proper to call a special meeting of your board, prior to the close of the present financial year, in order that action might be taken upon the order which passed the common council at its' last meeting, authorizing the establishment of a municipal printing plant. This order, with the exception of one amendment adopted by the common council which is pronounced by the corporation counsel to be inoperative and void. Is the 'same in Its terms as one which was favorably reported by the committee on streets and sewers at the last meeting- of your board, based upon a message from me in reference to the matter, and was assigned for consideration to the next meeting of the board. Assuming from- this favorable action by a committee consisting of all the members of the board that the order would be passed when action upon it was reached, I feel warranted In asking for such action prior to the close of the present financial "ear. If this order, as passed by the council, is adopted by your board today, the auditor and myself will be able to make a transfer from surplus income to the appropriation for the printing department, sufficient to enable that department to establish the proposed municipal printing plant at once.

The corporation counsel has given his Opinion that such transfer would be proper and legal. As the next regular meeting of the board comes on the first day of the new financial year, action at that time would be too late to enable the money to be provided by such transfer, and it would be necessary to ask a specific appropriation. The request for such appropriation would in the regular course of procedure be referred to the finance committee when appointed, and the whole project might-thus be delayed for an indefinite time. There Is one very strong consideration in favor of Immediate action. Some of the department reports are already In the hands of the superintendent of printing, and all of them will be in before very long.

The printing of these reports constitutes a large part of all of the printing done by the city. and if a municipal plant Is to receive a fair trial this year, it is obviously desirable that such reports shall be printed by IL If, however, the establishment of such a plant should be considerably delayed, through the necessity of applying for by 17 0 All Drurgists, 50c. and $1.00.

and In thisl draft they are Collated with the evi4 dence facts and rulings of the court; bearing upon them. The draft was immediately taken frons' the file of the court by Dist Atty Hoar, who is given a week by the court Within which to examine them. There has not been any time fixed by: the court as yet for the allowance of the exceptions. If they are allowed the case will be ripe for argument before the au, preme court at Washington. Judges Colt and Webb have been for the past three days assiduously at work examining the legal authorities cited by: counsel for and against the motiou fore new trial.

Just when the court will render Its decision upon this motion Is not presently known. though it will in all be about the middle of this week.

"0," it will be said, "the relined tastes of the few who are able to appreciate these things as art must net be sacrificed to the vulgar feelings and propensities of the many who know no better than to abuse them in the gratification of their lusts. We must educate the people up to a higher standard." This is the argument against prohibiting the saloon and similar vices, but it isn't the argument of the true Christian. who says.

But perhaps some of you may give more weight to what a Judge may say on such a theme than what Mr Moody may say, therefore give you below the exact language, of Judge Phillips in the LT circuit court, in a case duly recorded in the federal reports. He says: "There is in the popular conception and heart such a thing as modesty.

It was born in the garden of Eden. After Adam and Eve ate of the fruit of the tree of knowledge they passed from that condition of perfectibility which some people nowadays aspire to, and. their eyes being opened, they discerned that there was both good and evil; 'and they knew that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves From that day to this civilized man has carried with him the sense of shame, the feeling that there were some things on which the eye, the mind, should not look; and where men and women become so depraved by the uses or so Insensate from perverted education. that they will not veil their eyes, nor hold their tongue the government should perform the office for them in protection of the social compact and the body politic."

423. Isn't it a shame that the government is thus obliged to step in and take the place of the parents in the protection of their own children? And then. there's the amusements we allow our children. "0, are you going to thrash over again that old straw about the theater?" some one says. "Yes.

I am: but I am going to let some ono else hold the flail this time. NV. I). 110Weild writes of this in Harpers Weekly. No one can speak of him as puritanic or bigoted.

And this is what he says of it:" It has been called a school of morals, and the fact is not affected by the other fact that it is far oftener a school of immarals. It is both one and the other; but it is the fault. the shame. the crime of the state that the theater is ever a school of immorals. "It in any pulpit vice were preached by mockeries of purity and appeals to lubricity such as we are used to in the theater; if lying were inculcated.

and passion put above duty: if revenge were taught as something noble; if homicide were lightly invoked. and adultery treated as a comical affair; somehow the law would reach that pulpit. although the state professes to have no relation with the church. "In like manner. if in an private School or college the were Imparted by a chair devoted to the study of these authors whose work befouls literature.

the law would somehow Intervene to prevent the mischief, although the effect might be logically blamed as a socialistic meddling with private enterprise. The theater, however, is left unmolested In almost any excess: ideas are enacted if not expressed there which are simply abominable. We all know: we can prove it at any time; it is undeniable." "What have' so called Christian parents got to say these things? 'What about taking or eending our boys and girls to such places of amusement? What about setting them the example of going there ourselves? And then. there are other kinds of amusements having the same tendency that 1 haven't time to dwell upon Just now. because I want to close with a word of warning as to the effect of all these things on the future of our country.

without saying anything at all about their damning Influence upon souls throughout all eternity. But Just take the condition of our land today. It's not what I say about it. but what others say. who also have opportunities to Judge.

You have heard what conservative ministers of your own city have been saying. but hear what similar testimony is borne from Chicago. There are 7000 rumshops there tcday. where there were only 3000 10 years ago. and people are afraid to walk the best-lighted boulevards after dusk lest they be sandbagged.

The pastor of the most prominent Presbyterian church in that city said last Sunday, after reviewing the state of things. that it seemed as if Chicago were sinking into the abyss that buried old Rome. while another equally eminent Baptist minister said, one who isn't straining after notoriety, that the city WM 3 dominated by the devil. I can quote Boston ministers, careful of their speech. who speak of this old Puritan city, where I now am.

in precisely the same way. Isnt it time to cry a halt? Isnt it time for good men and women to awake and apply the bosom of righteous wrath to all this filth and iniquity in our theaters and barrooms, in our public prints. in our streets, and even In our homes? Better and closer yet, shouldn't we look into our very heart, and cry out to God to purge them of Iniquity, through the grace which is in the blood of Jesus Christ, and the power of the Holy Spirit? "Turn ye at my reproof." saith the Lord. "Behold I will pour out my spirit unto you." D. L.

Moody. Boston, Jan 19. More Money for the College. To the Editor-of The Globe: The president of Colorado college received a check of $50,000 yesterday. After a campaign of three years subscriptions have been obtained, amounting to over and in accordance with his promise Dr D.

K. Pearson of Chicago promptly sent $50,000. The college has now acquired an addition of $200,000 to its permanent endowment fund, and feels that the future is assured. Nevertheless, those who know the college rightly feel that it has before it a very wide field of usefulness which it is bound to meet. The increase in the number of the students makes it necessary to erect more dormitories and more extensive laboratory accommodations.

To do this more money is necessary. The college therefore appeals to all its friends to help it to do this work. Very truly yours. F. W.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Jan 27. The Minister Tells This Himself. That we Jump hastily at conclusions regareing the character of those we meet is seen in the incident which the friends of an eminent Methodist preacher like to relate at his expense. Ile went into the Old South church in order to take a last Mk at the interior befora it should become the museum and relic repository it now is. The reverend doctor looked well about hail, and, turning to the sacristan of pious aspect, who was showing him about, said "I was baptized in this church," and.

after a moment's pause, "but it has been 2') years since I was within it." Now the sacristan was a man zealous In piety, but ill-fitted to Judge of character, and, otter measuring his guest for muinelat, he answered with a sigh: "That is the way with menthat is the waythey are brought no well by pious but they get out into the world and they forget it forget it! Twenty years since you have been in a church m---xnm da BY REV D. NEW YORK. Jan SOThe Journal. tomorrow, will publish a signed article by Rev Dwight L. Moody.

in which he vigorously assails the nude in art and protests against the sinful exposure cf paintings and statuary in the drawing rooms of the rich. He believes the great works of the masters are indecent and he says so in very forceful language. His article follows: To the New York Journal: I am glad Of an opportunity to say something more through your columns about what I believe to be the reigning evil of these timeslicentiousness and lust. If others want to place intemperance at the head of the list. I won't quarrel with them.

but Intemperance is something that can be seen and felt and weighed; but this other is under cover and doing its work when it is not seen. And then intemperance and lust go together, nine times out of ten. and the one feeds the other. I have been speaking lately a good deal about the nude in art, suggested by recent eventsin high life in New York. and it has brought me under the ban of that old saw, Evil to him who evil thinks.

But it doesn't disturb me any, because there's no truth in it. The old English king that said that needed to say something to cover up his own iniculty, but it doesn't apply at all to a man who tries to keep his mind and conscience clean from these things. And yet, 1 sometimes thiiik there are plenty of r-Inisters arld newspaper editors and teachers of youtil who feel just as I (10 about these dispLys of -art- who are afraid to speak out because that charge may be made against them. If my example will do them any good I am more than pleased to be quoted far and wide on the subject. Thoee words of Paul are sometimes applied in the same way where he says to Titt13, IL: "Unto the pure all tee igs are pure," but we had better get rid of the idea right away that that means that a Christian may indulge in anything he likes and it'll be ail right.

The treth is that Paul is speaking about, a different thing alogether from that whieh now coneerns us, and is laying' down laws about the clean awl unclean with reepect to meats end drinks among the Jews. Paul says that all the distinctions ceased in Christianity, and that all kinds of food might be considerea as lawful and proper. is wonderful how Satan can quote scripture sometimes and apply It FO as to scare good men from eioing right. Don't let us be afraid of denotincirg evil because we may be called evil. aVe haven't been called Beelzebub yet.

as Jesus was. Then I want to speak of another thing that may encourage some beak brother. I warn to speak of the law on this subject. 'There must be lots of good people know far they may ff. in denouncing and protesting against these things and still have the law on their side.

I mean the law of the state of New York. It may surprise some of them to learn that section 317 of the penal code of that state makes it a misdemeanor. lieble to imprisorment anti line for any person to sell. lend. give away.

or ahow, to have in his posseselon with that intent, any lewd or indecent book. newspaper. picture. figure or Image. or to advertise such a thing, even if It be a newspaper made up largely of criminal eews or stories or deeds of bloodshed and lust.

I confess I'm surprised at the meekness anti quietness; with which the geed women of thisJand submit to these Indignities on their sex. If their fathers and husbands and brothers anti sweethearts are not seneitive enoilph and bold (ough to speak and act on their behalf. it's a wonder they don't act with more decision and more power themselves. They carried on one grand I crusade against rum in Ohio. where I they bearded the lion in his den.

Let the men who are now insulting them be I careful or they'll begin as serious a I battle ngainst other thine-. They'll pull the posters off their fences In their wrath some day; they'll enter these great barrooms and knock the images off their pedestals and tear the pictures from the walis; they'll boycott the magazines and mob the newspaper offices if these outrages upon their decency are not stopped. And this brings me to what I want to say to parents. "An ounce of. prevention is worth a pound of cure." I think some parents are greatly to blame for the impurity of mind and improper courses of the boys and girls.

I think the so-called "art" displevs InAtome of our homes are disgraceful and sinful. When our halls and drawing rooms and bedchambers are fitted with these and pictures, and the boys and girls of a certain age are feasting their eyes upon them all the time it ean't be considered strange if Impure thoughts are raised in the mind, rued If. as the result. they should seek to gratify them, and be led away in that direction by older and wickeder companions who are ever on the lookout for such prey. you'll say, "Mr Moody don't know anything about art: he'd better stick to eomething he understands." Well, he knows something about sin.

and that's what he's talking about in this article. As a good authority says: "Art for art purposes in an art gallery Is one thing, like medical works for medical and ecientific men. but that does not mean that the nude in art has a right to be placed on exhibition before immature minds so as to endanger their morals. A judge In a decision in one of the English courts, asks the question, 'What can be more obscene than many pictures publicly exhibited, as the Venue In the Dulwich Now I should l'ko to know whether that becomes any the less obscene when it Is copied and brought Into your private houses?" A good many pastors who have opportunities to notice these things will be ready to indorse the words of Rev Dr Parkhurst of your city, who said some time ago, "There are drawing rooms la this city, drawing rooms of Christians whose wells are decorated with representations that.it would not be decent for a gentleman and lady to seruttnize together. And I know whereof I affirm.

Now. that Is what I mean by making a plaything of chastity. I would say that it le quitee possible that the sensual appetites ora, our boys and girls will come Into play before they have reached the period of esthetic appreciation." of course, I can't be expected 'to go Into a nice discussion of these different Venuses and the paintings of the modern French artists now before the public. I wouldn't if I could. and I couldn't if I would.

That there are distinctions among them so far as their leadnese is concerned and their capacity to awaken lewd thoughts everybody admits. But aren't they all of a piece in the sense that they belong to a corrupt heathen mythology, the gods and goddesses of the dark places of the earth? What was Venus if not the goddess of sensual love? Isn't the word itself one that stands for something we do not talk about In general conversation? Take this figure of the Bacchante praposed to be set up in the court of the beautiful public library of Boston. Don't we read how in old heathen Rome, even before the days of Christ. 13acchante exhibitions were prohibited by law? Do we want to revive this thing in our day which svas too vile for the heathen? "A naked. tipsy woman dancing In her shame," 'that is how the Literary World describes it.

Think of it! An intoxicated female, totally unclothed, standing on one foot. her head thrown back, a bunch of grapes in one hand and a new-born infant in the other! Consider the history of this courtesan: consider the character of the living model who posed for the statue; consider its position in a public place where the youth 'of both sexes are, in a certain sense, caliged to go. to obtain books for readinaitand ref( SANFORD.
