BosHoughton, Miffin Co. patriotic, it would scarcely Iter to approach the figure of reverence, without a degree welded to few only of those who with our mundane affairs. If we canvenerate Washington then hero worship is ur terly at an end. The first President may have been imperfect-and let us hope, for the comfort and the increased sense of fellowship implied in that conclusion, that he was--but he was one of the most perfect of men. He was more than good; he was able, and he inspired both purity and energy in others, He was as far as possible from being 8 negative man, notwithstanding the impression of tameness, of milk and water beniguity, sought to be conveyed by so many of the early eulogists.

In the greater frankness and breadth of modern history Washington has been considerably humanized, and has become correspondingly interesting. History has buried the hatchet. Mr. Lodge's dignified life of the great hero is in the broad sense a enlogy, perhaps more of eulogy than we might have expected, yet not eulogy of the kind fashionable in an earlier era. We are shown a well-drawn, life-like and reasonable portralt of the Virginian patriot, and do not feel that the culogy implles any loss of proportion, any elimination of truth and roundness In the picture.

Washington has never needed an apologist. The few defects in his character are 8 kind or artistio virtue. They are the discord that sweetons the harmony, a tincture that prevents a cloying effect in the ensemblo. Mr. Lodge shows that the conception of Washington which 15, probably, more prevalent than any other--a man of lefty intellect, vast moral force, supremely successful and fortunate, wholly apart from and above all his fellow-men, a lonely figure rising in the imegination with all the imperial splendor of the Livian Augustus and with about as much warmth and life as that unrivaled statue-is but the myth of genuine love and veneration.

It was Inevitable that the inhuman Washington of Weems should inspire a revolt and the revolt has occurred. The blameless and priggish boy and the equally faultless and uninteresting man are frankly recognized as myths. For a time the reaction has Inspired ridicule and even detraction. The man who was tired of hearing Aristides called The Just has many descendants and these petulantly puuish the memory of the national hero. In time the real Washington will be understood.

He will be discovered to be neither nor a scoundrel, but in general something of a man. Mr. Lodge's book is certain to aid in the right estimation of Washington. The writer's work is done with care, from a modern standpoint, and with modern breadth and impartiality. The two volumes are well proportioned in every sense and will fill an important place in the superb sories of which they form a part More About Russia.

IMPRESSIONS OF RUSSIA. Dr. GEORG BRANDES. Trauslated from the Danish by BANCEL C. EASTMAN.

12mo. New York: Thoutas Y. Crowell Co. It is very good proof of the essentially interesting character of Russian life and character that, notwithstanding all that has been written of the Czar's domains within the past few years, there should remain so lively a general interest in literature treating of Russia and the Russians. The present book takes a view somewhat different from that taken by any other writer whom we now recall.

The Danish author is quite obviously a shrewd observer, who bines a capacity for seeing sombre things with a disposition to look cheerfully upon life in the abstract, even when that life is the life of Russia. Dr. Brandes tells us that of all the larger European nations Russin is the one that has borrowed most from foreign culture and whose natire culture strikes one least. And yet it is shown to be strictly true that Russia is strikingly original as a nation. In fundemental things Russia is herself and is couservative in a high degree.

Of the originality of her literature and art we have ourselves had many recent opportunities of perceiving. One social trait of the Russians appealed strongly to the writer The trait, however, which struck me personally more strongly than any other, and one which I met with in the most developed and niso, No far as I could judge, the most typical indlviduals, was what they themselves called une large franchise, a broad and proud frankness. Nowhere else are men and women occupying the mostadvanced places fn culture heard expressing themselves so openly and without reserve. They pot only give utterance to their ideas and thoughts without hesitation, but they not infrequently expose traits of their own lives, traits which they must see may be judged differently, without any fear of losing anything in the opinion of others. Behind this transparency, which especially surprises us in women, there lies Such am I appear as I am-too broadly and largely constituted to be reserved and prudent and too sure of my position in life not to be dependent on my own judgment." The meaning of this in social intercourse is: "This is what I am.

Tell mo what you are. What is the profit of this reserve? Life is short, time is essentially measured out; if we are going to get anything out of our Intercourse we must explain what we are to each btber." And behind this frankness lies the emotion which works most strangely of all on one who comes from the north, a horror and hatred pf bypocrisy and a pride which shows itself in carelessness-so unlike English stiffness. French prudence, German class pride, Danish nonsense. It is curious to bear Dr. Brandes say that what the Russians love is to have their That such a country should, as a natural trait, hold the love of liberty, sounds like a paradox.

Yet the writer points ont that the Russian, as a result of this trait, carries cut to a logical issue, almost with blindness, any new theory. Thus he exaggerates to the fullest extreme the idea of a patriarchal government or, on the other hand, liberates with the utmost recklessness. The Russians are pictured by this observer as naturally sluggish. It is the natural result of cold in a great winter land. The want of sufficiently nutritious food makes the blood thin, the requirements for protection against the cold make the temperament nervous, Passivity becomes fundamental trait, which 1s sharply and clearly manifested in the popular amusements.

While the Spanfard takes his pleasure in bull nights, either as participant for spectator; while the Englishman boxes and rows, the Frenchman fights, the Pole dances--the Russian Ands no happiness in any kind of sport. His delight Is to hear a band organ or harmonicon play, to swing and ride in the gravitating railway, of which he is the inventor." This statement has all the superficial appenrances of exaggeration and is scarcely modified by the collateral argument. The passivity is shown to be largely the result of deference and submission to' the powers that be. Mental passivity might be explained to some extent in this way, but no satisfactory evidence is given in support of the propo. sition that physical passivity is anything like a national trait.

To be sure, the Russian character is and must remain an anomaly to the rest of the world. Dr. Brandes says the popular feeling seems to be at once unfeeling and kindly. There is a Russian indifference to their own sufferings and A Russian sympathy for the sufferings of others, to which this indifference contributes." The Russian is held to be perhaps the only man who cuz murder without either passion or malice. The bulk of the last half of Dr.

Brandes' book considers specifically the arts and sciences, with the fullest comment upon literature. Pushkin, Dostolevekt, Herzen, Tolstol and others are seriously and critically considered in the light of their works and their surroundings. The book Is one that throws much new light upon Russian pharacter, Other New Books, GRATURE. A A SERIOUS and undoubtedly valuable work on American Resorts." with notes upon their climate, has been prepared by De. Bushrod W.

James and is published by F. A. Davis, of Philadelphis. The design of -the book is to furnish invalids, and those having the care of them, with trustworthy information, as free as possible from dogmatism, concerning climate in various parts of the United States and Canada. That there may be a species of patriotism even in hygeinio recommendations is seen in Dr.

James' remark that seems scarcoly necessary for Americans to seek rellef at the resorts of the humid Riviera, such RA Nice, San Remo, Santa Monica, Cannes and similar places or at the more questionable places of health resort such as Rome, Naples, Algiers or Palermo, which afford the excitement and unsanitary accompaniment of city life, when In their own land they may enjoy equally good or even superior climates at the health resorts of Florida, Southern California and other places of kindred clime." Dr. James does not purport to bffer a scientific treatise, but certainly introduces strong Infusion of common sense. The author consults and quotes many authorities, A REALLY entertaining and intensely origInal story is "Zit and Xoe," by the author of Lady Bluebeard." The hero to whom we are introduced on the page is the first human being. His parents are apes, and he is cast out of the monkey tribe as a deformity. The paternal monkey pends the lad away with the remark that the greatest happiness of the greatest number necessitated his immediate departure.

After this touch we need not say that the story- grimly called a borel-is a satire, of a buoyant and very entertainLog kind, upon the Darwinian theory. The first girl, of course, makes her appearance later on, in a most enchanting way, and so the story goes. The droll situation is capitally conceived and the book is thoroughly diverting. (Harper's Franklin Square Library.) IN the Series of Decisive Events in American History, Lee Shepard publish Burgoyne's Invasion of 1787," with an outline sketch of the American invasion of Canada, by Samuel Adams Drake. The sketch is a comprehensive one and is accompanted by a number of outline maps.

THE popularity in. Germany of W. Heinburg's novels is not to be doubted, but is not altogether explainable- -any more explainabie, perhaps, than Mr. Howells' American popularity might be to German readers. "Two Daughters of One Race," the latest of Heinburg's stories, seems to Us less entertaining than "Gertrude's and this is saying little enough for it.

The translation by Mrs. Lowrey is well made and the publishers, the Worthington Company, print the story in a charming way, with well-rendered photogravure illustrations. ERNEST novel, T'he Apostate," efficiently translated from the French by Elizabeth Phelps a romantic novel of a pure-spirited kind, picturesque in background and saturated with the warmth of life. The apostate himself is vigorously drawn and his career is sketched with much dramatic energy. The priest's renunciation, his love, his sorrow, his pitiable bumiliation before the powers of the church and his lonely exile, are drawn with artistic discrimination and frequent passages of a fine poetic quality.

(D, Appleton Co.) Notes and Opinions. Sentiment and superstition are not always in nccord with the facts. Thus Dr. Charles W. Pilgrim, writing in the Popular Science Monthly, shows that in April, May and June, the hopeful months, the months in which the young man's fancy is agreeably stimulated, are the months in which more suicides occur than in any others of the year, while the fewest tragedies of this kind occur in the sere months of October and November.

Robert Louis Stevenson' last story, The Wrong Box," is said to have been commenced last winter in the Adirondacks, when he and his stepson, Lloyd Osbourne, who is his collaborateur in the work, spent the winter together, Mr. Beecher seems to have had a singular affection for Thomas Nelson Page's touching story, Marse Chan." The story was, we are told, first brought to Mr. Beecher's attention from a reading of it by a rich Southern lady, who subsequently moved to London. When the great preacher was on his last visit to London he made it a special request that the reading should be repeated to him by the same lady and he had actually, amid all his engagements, not forgotten to bring over a copy of Marse Chan," so that he might not be disappointed. An evening was fixed at Dr.

Joseph Parker's house, at which Mr. Beecher stayed during his visit to London. The scene which followed the reading was one never to be forgotten by those present. Mr. Beecher had begun by the statement that he intended to have a good cry," and before the story was half through be had realized the expectalion, for great tears were falling down the Plymouth pastor's cheeks, and every lady in the room, including the reader, was sobbing aloud.

The story is one of a charming collection which Mr. Page not long ago published with the Scribners under the title 'In Ole The foremost features of the Magazine of American Ilistory for July is Mrs. Lamb's brilliant Story of the Washington Centennial." It was eminently fitting that such a historical sketch should be written, and that it should be written by oue so well qualified as Mrs. Lamb to give it the interest of historic comparison and allusion. The gifted historian presents a graphic and complete record of the three days' celebration, touching with felicity on many striking features of the great commemoration.

A novel group of photographs, many of them made with the detective" camera, illustrate almost every phase of the ceremonies, from the moment of President Harrison's departure from Elizabethport to the last moments of the review in the civic parade. The use of band camera photographs in this connection is a significant novelty. Andrew Carnegie's memoirs will not be published during his lifetime. The D. Lothrop Company will soon publish a story of girl life and society by Mrs.

M. E. W. Sherwood. T.

R. Marvin Son, Boston, publish "Observation on the Treatment of Publio Piantations, More Especially Relating to the Rise of the Axe," by F. L. Olmstend and J. B.

Harrison. Elbridge S. Brooks and his family will spend the summer at Cape Porpoise, a delightful old haunt oll the Maine coast. Willard Fracker New York, will soon publish in book form the Chicago Tribune prize novel entitled, "By a Hair's Breadth," by Edith Sessions Tupper. The Lincoln history In the Century will be concluded this year.

This remarkable narrative will rank as one of the most important American works of the century. In the July number of the North American Review Lord Wolseley resumes his criticism of the civil war, dealing with the operations of Admiral Farragut, the campaigns in the Shenandoah Valley, the seven days' fighting near Richmond, and the campaign against Pope. He speaks severely of Secretary Stanton, whose orders to McClellan he describes as "rank nonsense," but he is strong in his praise of President Lincoln. A few summers ago Allen Thorndike Rice and William Waldorf Astor rode on horseback up the banks of the Hudson from New York to Albany. Mr.

Astor now contributes some touching reminiscences of his friend to the July number of The North American Review. In the same number of the Review, the question, "How Far Should University Control its Students?" is discussed by Prof. N. 8. Shaler, of Harvard President Bartlett, of Dartmouth College President Hyde, of Bowdoin College; Sir J.

W. Dawson, of MeGill University; President Horace Davis, of the Unlversity of California; President Adams, of Cornell University, and President Angell, of the University of Michigan. The Independent has a symposium on the tion, Can Criminals be Reformed The subject is discussed by Charlton T. Lewis, Judge Glidersleeve, Inspeetor Byrnes, Superintendent Stewart, District Attorney Ridgway, Police Justice Duffy and others, It is easier busiuess to disparage literature than to produce it easier to undervalue style than to acquire it. However, that indefinable distinction which we call style is quite capable of taking care of itself.

A page of prose or verse without this quality is like a man without good manners; he may be a person of excellent intentions, but he is not desirable company, and ultimately finds himself dropped. A notable thing in every work -poem, history or novel-that has survived its own period is perfection of form. It is that which has kept it. It is the amber that preserves the fly. I have no doubt that thousands of noble conceptions have been lost to us because of the inadequacy of their literary form.

Certain it is that many thoughts and fancies, of no great value in themselves, have been made imperishable by the faultiessness of their setting. For example, if Richard Lovelace--whose felicities, by the way, were purely accidental-had said to Lucosta: Lucasta, my girl, I couldn't think half so much of you as I do if I didn't feel it my duty to enlist for the war. Do you catch on? -if Richard Lovelace, I repeat, had put it that fashion, his commendable sentiment would have been forgotten in fifteen minutes; but when he saidI could not love thee, dear, so much Loved I not honor morehe gave to England a lyric that shall last longer than the Thames Embankment. The difference in the style of these two addresses to Lucasta illustrates just the difference there 19 between literature and that formless commonplace which certain of our critics suppose to be Atlantic.

F. C. Sumichrast, of Harvard, will be published by Ginn Co. in August. Mr.

Lowell is again at his former London quarters in Radnor Place. St. Nicholas opens with an effective sketch called Grandpapa's Coat," by Alice Maude EwelL A good story of a plucky boy and Lincoln is told by Harriet Taylor Upton under the title "Louis the Resoluta." Theodore B. Davis describes in text and picture How a Battlo is Sketched." The July Allantic centains a short sketch called "Going to Shrewsbary," by Sarah Orne Jewett, which naturally commends itself to the summer render who has either already gone away himself or who is looking forward to going to some such country town. Another paper by Mr.

Bradford Torrey, called A Mountain Side Ramble," will appeal to the same class. The magazine opens with an article by Miss Preston, giving an account of the last days of Cieero, one of a series which she has been contributing to the Allantic. Prof. N. 8.

Shaler, who is a person to speak with authority, writes about Problem of Discipline in Higher Education," which will be read by student and teacher with equal Interest. H. L. Nelson has AD article on the Speaker's Power," not a consideration of the power of oratory, but the power of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, W. H.

Downes hos an interesting paper on the "Old Masters" which may be seen in New York, and it is surprising to find bow large a representation can be seen there. Mr. James' Tragic Muse" is steadily galuing in interest, and The Daughter," by Edwin Lassetter Bynner, is also continued. The two specially literary articies of the magazine are "John Evelyn's Youth," an account of the early days of that worthy, full of anecdote, written by Mary Davies Steele. The other artiale is "Books that have Hindred Me," by Agnes Repplier.

So much has been written about books that hare helped various people that Miss Repplier bas decided to write about the books that did not help her; among these she mentions "Sandford and Merton," Milton's Areopagitica," and the Heir of The National Journalist, of Chicago, is just closing Its fifth volume. George Gissing's novel "The Nether World," end Micah Clarke," by A. Conan Doyle. have been added to Harper's Franklin Square Library. Mr.

Justice Miller, of the Supreme Court of the United States, engages in the important work of "explaining America to Americans and to the world," by describing "The State of Iowa" in the July number of Harper's Magazine. The article is marred by the absence of any allusion to one of the most eminent citizens of the State and country. George William Curtis, however, supplies the unavoidable omission by a graceful tribute to Mr. Miller in the Easy Chair." In referring to Palatial Petersburgh" it is difficult to separate writer and artists, so happily do they supplement one another in conveying impressions of the great architectural monuments of "the Northern Venice." E. Mason makes a note upon Adrian van de Velde," an interesting figure in the history of Dutch art.

Howard M. Jenkins finds a suggestive subject in "The Banks of the Brandy wine," and Lafcadio Hearn, in his sketeh of Les Porteuses," portrays the women who bear burdens in Martinique. The Rev. Atticus G. Haygood advocates no partienlar policy in his essay upon The South and the School Problem," but simply prevents a sober analysis of the present situation and the outlook for the future.

William Blaikie's answer to the question, Is American Stamina Declining would be discouraging if he did not point out practical means of arresting the decline. The eighth paper in the series on the Great Ameriesn Industries' takes up the manufacture of glass, The possible uses to which glass, it is said, may be put in the future will seem to many to trench on the fantastic. The seventh Installment of Constance Feutmore Woolson's Jupiter Lights" alone goes far to confirm the promise of the earlier chapters. Two short stories deal with love in modern life. By a coincidence the conversation in the fourth installment of Charles Dudley Warner's novel, A Little Journey in the World," turns upon The Old Homestead" and the beginnings of American drama- -a subject which in various aspects monopolizes William Dean Howells' attention in the Editor's Study" of this number.

Edwin A. Abbey and Alfred Parsons contribute seven Illustration for old Thomas Randolph's poem To Master Anthony Alfred Parsons also has two drawings illustrating Wordsworth's sonnet To Sleep." Cassell'8 Family Magazine continues to merit praise as an excellent illustrated monthly for the hame. The anarchists of to-day have pushed the old dogma of natural liberty to the extremest form of abstract deduction, and they propose to make it a programme of action. They therefore make of it a principle of endless revolution. If, however, the basis on which it once rested is gone, it is impossible that we should hold and use it any more.

With our present knowledge of history, we know that no men on earth ever have had liberty in the serse of unrestrainedness of action. The very conception is elusive, It is impossible to reduce it to such form that it could be verified, for the reason that it is non-human, non-earthly. Ic never could exist on this earth and among these men. The notion of liberty, and of the things to which it pertains, has changed from age to age even in modern history. Never in the history of the world has military service weighed on large bodies of men as it does now on the men of the European continent.

It is donbtful if it would ever nave been endured. Yet the present victims of it do not appear to consider it inconsistent with liberty. Sumptuary laws about dress would raise a riot in any American State; a prohibitory law would have raised a riot among people who did not directly resist sumptuary laws. A civil officer in France, before the Revolution, who had bought or inherited bis office, had a degree of independence and liberty in it which the nineteenth century official never dreams of. On the contrary, the more this nineteenth century eivil and political liberty is perfected, the more it appears that under it an official has freedom of opinion and independence of action only at the peril of his livelihood.Prof.

Dr. Wace in Reply to Mrs. Ward.

If Prof. Huxley can extend his study of German theological literature much beyond Zeller's of quarter of a century ago," or Ritschl's writings of nearly forty years ago," he will not find bimself countenanced by church historians in Germany in Lis contempt for the recent contributions of English scholars to early church history. However, it is the more easy for me to waive all differences of this nature with Mrs. Ward, because it is unnecessary for me to look beyond her article for its own refutation. Her main contention, or that at least for which Prof.

Huxley appeals to her, seems to be that it 1s a mistako to suppose that the rationalistic movement of Germany has been defeated in the sphere of New Testament criticism, and she 80- lects more particularly for her protest a recent statement in the Quarterly Review that this criticism, and particularly the movement led by Baur, 18 "an attack which has tailed." The Quarterly Reviewer may be left to take care of himself; but I would only ask what is the evidence which Mrs. Ward addnces to the contrary? It may be summed up in two words-a prophecy and romance. She does not adduce any evidence that the school, which is the one we are chiefly coucerned with, did not fail to establish its specific contentions; on the contrary, she says that history protested," and she goes on to prophesy the success of other speculations which arose from that protest, concluding with an 1m- nginary sketch, like that with which "Robert Elsmere" ends, of a new Reformation preparing. struggling into utterance and being all around us, It is close upon us -it is prepared by all the forces of bistory and mind-ita rise sooner or later is inevitable." This is prophesy, but it is not argument; and a little atrention to Mrs. Ward's own statements will exhibit a very aifferent -From Christianity and in the Popular Science Monthly.

Fate of the Innocents: the Child Crusade. Philadelphia, 1850, ART AND ARTISTS. "You see that portrait," said a New York man pointing to a large figure study hanging on the wall of a certain metropolitan clubhouse well, there is a curious little history to that." The painting, which was signed by one of the best portrait men in America, represented hale elderly man, of ruddy complexion and rather antique dress. The face had in it An attractive geniality, the eye in particular glowing with sagacity and humor. One would certaluly have been well disposed toward the original of such portrait.

The story attached to the picture turned out to be this: The painter was one day visiting the study of one of the most artistic and successful of American photographers, when a visitor was anpounced and the photographer introduced his painter friend to the elderly gentleman whose sp pearance has just been suggested. The visitor talked interestingly upon art and amused himself by roving about the studio and glancing at this, that and the other sketch or fragment of bric-8brac. When he had gone the photographer turned to the painter and exclaimed: Thank Heaven, he is out of here Why asked the other. Because I haven't had a minute's peace since he came in. That man is one of the shrewdest kleptomaniacs I ever saw-or ever heard of, I may say, for I never saw many.

And yet there la something about him that makes it hard to mistrust or detect him. His craze is for art objects of any kind, from a vase to a water color sketch, and he a way of making off with these without arousing suspicion that is truly astouisbing. I can't swear that he ever took anything out of here, but I wouldn't like to swear that he wever has, and I am pretty well informed as to some other victims. And mind you, he is rich--lots of money, more than he knows what to do with, and is actoally generous with it. But he has a passion for stealing art treasures.

To acquire the same thing by gift or purchase would give him no pleasure at all la comparison. Funny trait, isa't it I tell you this because, as sure as you live, he'll be in to see you now, and you must be prepared. Don't let him come it over you." In fulfillment of the photographer's prophecy the elderly gentleman did make his appearance fu the painter's studio within a week. He wanted his portrait painted and gave the order for a work in the artist's best manner. "Take your time," he said, and never mind the expense." The painter knew, from information of similar occurrences, that his visitor would never claim the portrait, and was conscious of a distinctly uncomfortable feeling, but with admirable shrewdness decided on a course that would rather leave the advantage on his own side.

The kleptomaniac was a fine subject for study, and placing him in position the painter set up a large canvas and in two hours had finished a free-hund oil colorsketch of the quaint figure. made it said the artist afterward, "never to let that man gain access to my studio again. He got nothing from me and I had two hours' study from oue of the most curious models that ever posed under my roof." The formation of the American Fine Art Society evinces the determination of the New School to secure an established position and a permanent home. The chief purpose of the movement now on foot is to build suitable exhibition quarters for the Society of American Artists, the Society of Painters in Pastel, the Architectural League, the Art Students' League and other bodies. These societies seem anxious to find a habitat of their own somewhere beyond the patriarchal roof of the Academy.

The President of the new society, Howard Rus sell Butler, says in his circular: Though each of these societies is engaged on its own special departments of art, they are all actuated by the same progressive spirit, and they now realize that, while each should always retain its own individuality. there are many ways in which judicious co-operation will greatly enhance the usefulness of all. This is especially the case In regard to obtaining the more ample and suitable accommodations which are necessary to their progress and develment, and they have therefore (together with the New York Art Guild -a business association devoted to the work of exhibiting and storing pictures) united in incorporating the American Fine Arts Society, the object of which is the erection and maintenance of a Fine Arts Building, having classrooms for the students of the Art Students' League, and galleries in which to exhibit the works of art of the 800 artists now enrolled in the Society of American Artists, the Architectural League and the Society of Painters in Pastel, The capital stock has been fixed at $50.000, to be scribed by the societies or their members. Further, the societies have entered into a mutual plan and agreement permanently to occupy the building and to use the galleries for their exhibitions, aud to pay rentals therefor aggregating over $9,000 per annum. Additional income will be derived from the rental of the galleries when unoccupied by the societies.

In order that the proposed building may not only be adequate to meet the demands of all the societies, but also be in itself an evidence of the progress of artistio and architectural taste, much larger sum than the capital stock of the corporation will be required, and the total amount to be expended on the land and building will approximate $200,000. In addition to the stock and 30 issue. of bonds secured by a mortgage on the property, it is proposed to create a Life Fellowship Fund, In order that all who are interested in the progress of art in this country may have the opportunity of identifying themselves with this movement and becoming directly associated with the objects of the different societies. All contributors of $100 and upward will be made Life Fellows of the American Fine Arts Society, and will receive certificates of Life Fellowship, which, while creating no interest in the property of the society or voice in its management, will entitle the holder to five season tickets aunually for each of the several exhibitions of the Society of American Artists, the Architectural League and the Society of Painters in Pastel." Mr. Butler adds that one half of the Fellowship fund thus created is to be used by the Trustees either for the completion or hoprovement of the proposed building or the reduction of the mortgage debt of the society.

The other half will be divided among the exhibiting societies named. The fund for the Washington memorial arch has reached nearly $500,000. Books Received, AMERICAN RESORTS, With Notes Upon their Climate. By Bushrod W. James.

Having at last struggled into some acquaintanceship with print, the next book LO which I can trace a moral downfall is "Sandford and Merton," left on the nursery shelves by an elder brother, and read many times, not because I especially liked it, but because I had so little to choose from.

Those were not days when a glut of juvenile literature had produced a corresponding indifference and a spirit of languid hypercriticism. The few volumes we possessed, even those of the most didactic order, were read and re-read until we knew them well by heart. Now, up to a certain age I was, as all healthy children are, essentially democratic, with a decided preference for low company and a secret affinity for the least desirable little girls in the neighborhood. But Sandford and Merton" wrought a pitiable change. I do not think I ever went so far 03 to dislike the Rev.

Mr. Barlow alter the very cordial and hearty. fashion in which. Dickens disliked him, and I know I should have been scandalized by Mr. Burnand's cheerful mockery but, pondering over the matter with the stolid gravity of a child, I reached some highly unsatisfactory 00Ttclusions.

It did not seem to me, and it does not seem to me now, exactly fair in the estimable clergyman to have refused the board which Mr. Merton was anxious to pay, and then have reproached poor Tommy with eating the bread of dependence; neither did It seem worthy while for a wealths little boy to spend his time in doingvery inefficiently, I am sure the work of an under-gardener. Harry's contempt for riches and his supreme satisfaction with a piece of bread for dinner struck me as overdrawn: Tommy's mis. haps were more numerous than need be, even if he did have the misfortune to be a gentleman's son: and the complacency with which Mr. Barlow permitted him to give away a whole suit of clothes- clothes which, according to my childish system of ethios, belonged, not to him, but to his mother- contrasted but poorly with the anxiety manifested by the reverend mentor over his own pitiful loaf of bread.

Altogether, Sandford and Merton" affected me the wrong way; and, for the first time, my soul revolted from the pretentions virtues of honest poverty. It is to the maligant influence of that tale that 1 owe my sneaking preffor the drones and butterilles of earth. do not now believe that all men are born equal: I do not love universal suffrage; mistrust all popuiar agitators, all intrusive legislation, all philanthropic fads, all self-styled friends of the people. I cannot even sympathize with the noble theory that every man and woman should do their share of the world's work; I would gladly shirk my own if 1 could. And this lamentable, unworthy view of life and its responsibilities is due to the subtle poison instilled into my youthful mind by the too strenuous gs Sanford and Merton." At Wilkesbarte, the top does the dropping out.
