Thomas Betton bequeathed to tlie Ironmongers Company of England, over ISO yean ago, bis entire estate, with a provision that one-half of the proceed should be applied to tbe redemption of British slaves in Turkey and Algeria, and one-fourth toward the assistance of poor Church or England schools within London and its suburbs. Long ago tliere ceased to be anv English slaves to redeem from the Turks; trie courts, therefore, permitted the slave money also to be used in aid of schools. The megnitnde of the sum accumulated during 150 yean can best be appreciated by tlie statement that 1300 schools are now aided from "Bettuu'i charity."

IV. SAILING AND HOWING. An evening aall at this leaaon of the year! It teemed oat of the question when they first proposed it. Wo thought wo had loft all aneh good time behind ua when we told fare well to the many water and kindly breeze of Oeterrille and Martha Vineyard. It teemed like trying to revive adeadfrlend-ahlp to hope for a renewal of aay inch delightful experience.

Beside, we knew we ihould be frozen and then we should have to travel se far to reach a boat that the toil of the land would more than balance the pleasures of the mb. But they who knew declared that Bouth Boiton Point was not in reality at the world's aad, as we seemed to Imagine; that people generally poweu gar manta capable of protecting them from cold, and that we ought not to lose the opportunity made by such a gloriou September moon. Bolt happened that two ladle who had lately enjoyed several little cruise off th southern shore of Cape Cod, and two gentlemen who had been similarly happy nearer home, found themselves in a South Boston hone car one evening when the moon was still round and bright. The Point proved not to be so far away, after all. To be sure, there was a slight waiting at the K-street station, became the right car had not been taken at flnt; but even with that detention included, in half an hour after leaving the Harrtion-avenue turn our party arrived at the end of the rout a There, the succession of great boathouses quite amazed the Ignorant comers, and at f.nt seemed bewildering; but a few steps brought us to the long wharf which was our destination, between the house of the Boston Yacht Club on one side and that of the Bouth Boston Yacht Club on the other.

Then it was humbly acknowledged that nothing had been 10 inconvenient or disagreeable as bad been feared. The tide being too low for us to reach the boat easily, we sat upon the pier within the shelter of a little building, and watched the moon creep up over the water, while mysterious dark objects gradually caught her light, and great beams stood out in strong black lines against her golden track. The scene was charming enough in itself to pay for something of a journey; and there was poetry in the gentle pulsing of the wateT, the tide slowly felt its way ashore We (lid not have to wait long, however, as one of the advantages of South Boston Point is that boats may be used there In almost any state of the tide; aud it KEW AOIK EEW EGIAD It. TONIC FILLS STEAMER MMLAnTrOUTE. tion" iff "Hamlet" In two large volumes, the third and fourth of the aerie, constitute the moat valuable addition to Bbakspaarian literature which baa been furnished by any single pen for the past half-century.

It evinces a research, an amount of knowledge and a power iff analysis simply wonderful. The play of "Hamlet can be read in a couple of hours its study involves a lifetime. To quote the words of Mr. Furness, in the preface, "No one of mortal mould aver trod this earth, commanding such absorbing interest this Hamlet, this mere creation of a poets brain. No syllable that he whispers, no word fall by any one near bim, but is caught and pondered as no words ever have been except those of holy writ Upon no throne built by mortal bends has ever beet so fierce light aa upon that fairy fabric reared at Elsinore." It has been the plan of the antbor give, in addition to hie own opinions and theories, those of every prominent writer end commentator upon "Hamlet, English, French and German, and in doing this ha shown what remarkable attention has been given by scholars and critics of tbs latter nationality to the study of the great poet Everywhere throughout the length and breadth of Germany commentators have arisen, not only in the centres of culture, hut In towns and villages whose names English-speaking people have perhaps never heard of.

In Bhakapeare's allusions to Wittenberg the Germane claim that "Hamlet was written with especial reference to their own nation. Goethe's interpretation of the character of tlie Daniah prince, written eighty yeara ago, underlies most of the theories which have since appeared. Lessing, Bclile-gel, Tieck, Karpf, Flatbe, and a score of other eminent name shine brightly in the long list of Bbakspeurian essayists, while the lesser writers and commentators who hava come up during the past twenty -five years make up a small army. Of these latter the most remarkable la Werder, who In his work lately publislied develops a new theory in regard to the character of Hamlet, throwing aside Goetke'a explanation and all other akin to it. He takes the ground that Hamlet, Instead of a dreamer, is man of action, -never wavering and never at a loss; qlways adjusting bimaelf to tba condition of affairs with admirable sagacity, and acting with consummate tact aa occasions require.

Welder's theory, aa well aa that of many other prominent German writers, appears at length in the Appendix, with pertinent observations by the editor. The first volume contains the text as Mr. Furness believes it should be rrad, with a collation of the texts of tho quartos and folios, and of a large number of modern editions, adding the commentaries of tie various editor, With grammatical and verbal criticism. lathe second volume i given in fac-almlle, as far aa arrangement Spelling era regarded, tba quarto of 1003. The title page reads, "Tba Tragicall Historic of namlet, Prince of Denis arke, by William Bhak-epeaie; as it hath been iliuers times acted by bis highness eruauts in the cittia of London; a also in tlietwoVniuanities of Cambridge and Oxford and else-whera.

At London, printed by N. L. and lobn Trundell. 1003. This is preceded by a critical essay upon the text and an inquiry as to the data of lha writing and production of the play.

Following is The llys-toria of Handlist, the story upon which Bbakspear founded his tragedy. Next cornea the translation of a curious old German tragedy called Fratricide Punished or, Prince Hamlet of Danmark, a vfork which Mr. Furness thinks is entitled to respectful consideration aa having been probably translated from the old English tragedy now lost which Bbakspear need as the foundation of tie later "Hamlet. These occupy a good half of tba volume, the remainder of which is devoted to presentation of the opinion of the critics. Here the reader has presented to him in abstract the view taken by the most eminent of the world's thinkers, during the past century owl half, of this wonderful intellectual creation.

With the opinions of English commentators the reader is supposed to be tolerably familiar. It is curious to notice how enthusiastic the German critics oil are, end how utterly devoid of appreciation the Franck. Voltaire thus expressed himself in hi Theatre Complet more than hundred year ago: It is a vulgar and barbarous drama, which would not he tolerated by the vilest populace of France or Italy. Hamlet become crazy in the second act, end hie mistress in the third; the prince slays the father of Ida mistress under the pretence of killing rat, and the heroine throws herself into the river; a grave is dug on the stage, and the gravediggers talk quodllbete worthy of themselves while holding akulla in their hands; Hamlet respond to their nesty vulgarities in sillinesses no less disgusting. One would imagine this piece to he tlie work of drunken savage." Chateaubriand calls it a tragedy of maniacs, or "Royal Bedlam.

The bibliographical tables In the AP1 pendix are remarkable for their completeness, and form an exhaustive catalogue of tba literature which Hamlet has called into being. Keceived by A. Williams Co. CURE than we had anticipated that bo one there had time to be anxious in expecting ua. As we rumbled along we felt that the name of Bouth Boston Point would hereafter possess a delightful significance for ns; and we realized, too, that this was owing to its own character, and not merely to our personal associations, for opposite ns was a party who seemed to have just come in from a rowing excursion.

They also had had a good time It was amusing to se what pride in her hardened hands was taken by one little lady in a loose blue flannel dress, with a careless crimson knot at her throat. She was such a picture of a happy oara-woman that we immediately bad a sense of companionship in our pleasure, and so it was even then increased. We also discoursed upon our foolishness in not having previously availed ourselves of this advantage so near at hand, through fears of an imaginary distance, and the delusion that all pleasure nailing must be far away from eur winter terra firm. We had learned that at the Point there are several places where boats may be hired at from fifty to seventy-five cents an hour, with a skipper at seventy-five cents an hour in addition, and we determined that another year we would renew this experience early in the summer, and repeat it many times. There had also been a moral bearing to our pleasure trip, for it had proved a most enjoyable form of the lesson that' by anxious doubts and fearful anticipations we often hinder possible blessings.

How happy life would be if we were worthy of only such gentle teachings of confiding trust! Although the sailing of this season was over for our party, rowing was not, and last Saturday soma of ns -found our way out upon the "bonny Charles. We took tho ten minutes after three o'clock train from the Boston Albany depot, paid twenty-five cents apiece for our tickets, left the cars at Live raids station, went down a long flight of steps just beyond the railroad bridge, and so readied the boathouse. Here we inspected the array of wherries, Rob Boys, and divers other pleasure boats, mostly belonging to private owners, and then selected one from the several which were to be hired at moderate prices. By soon after four o'clock our oars were in the rowlocks, and our bow turned down the sunny, rippled current. The river seemed 'just broad enough and not too broad, as one of our number remarked; there was the freedom of a wide stream, so that one felt that sense of exhilaration which comes from moving over an expanse of water; and there was also the fascination of gliding near to changing shores with wooded depths and fern-draped borders.

The curving Charles seemed like a winding panorama, a flowing picture-book; each bend showed some new scene worthy of at least a mental photograph. Sometimes it was an inlet running between leafy banks, or a single tree standing close to the water's edge in a double growth of mirrored foliage. Sometimes the picture Included a distant landscape of sweeping fields and rounded hills. In one piece there was a thickly-wooded point whose topmost leaves made a symmetrical arch springing from the surface of the water, and in another a little knoll was crowned with scattered clumps of slender, graceful trees. The vividness of the late green was a surprise all along the way; but there were frequent modifications of it into tones of brown snd yellow, with occasional dashes of crimson.

The maples had not yet turned rwj they only hinted of the approaching 'oolor; but there was one bright tree, its branches standing out like signal flags from point to point Those supposed to be wise called it the tnpelo. Everybody saluted it, in passing, with exclamations of admiration, and the b.ow and ateru were decorated with its banners of the season, the boat thus showing our sympathy with nature in allegiance to bright autumn's rule. Down the stream the oarsmen pulled by many other boatloads of people looking as happy as ourselves vnder the inharmonious bridge where Weston meets Newton in the middle of the river, and the wooden piers of one town -meet tho stone arches of the other in painfiil-contrast, like a double house painted in opposing colors; by a tiny rustic brldgs, little wharves for boats, and attractive-looking houses with sloping lawns; through a channel between grasees waving their tall heads in sweeps of reddish color; by a pin grove fitted np for picnic parties, and a little rounded island that looked much more like an ideal place for supper and romsnoe, and so to the small pier on the grounds iff Wal-thsm Cemetery. There our party landed, and walking through the quiet place came to a slight ascent where the path led ns under overhanging branches framing sylvan pictures, and thus to a wooden observatory built upon a rock. AVe climbed the winding stairs, and were surprised to find what a broad view had been so easily earned.

River and woods and hills made beauty all about us; far away the city windows flashed like diamonds, the broad ahoulders of l'rospect Hill lay in the purple shadows of tlie lute afternoon, and ut across the river wsg the far-famed Waltham Watch Factory a great hive of busy workers. Best of all was it to gaze down into the near foliage, with its diversity of types and colors, and its mystery of stillness in life as seen thus When looking Into the branches close by, so high above tin ground and yet below our eyes. The way back was one long vision of beauty. There was leas to attract the attention in the fading light which blended all into a unity of softened outlines and mellowed tints. The wind had died away, and the quiet water seamed asleep; the hills lay dreaming, and over all th stillness watched the sky, with its serene yellow glow, like a hymn of peace, and its starry eyes slowly peeping into sight.

It was nature's "good night" time, and we felt that good was in the hour. it. a. i. let a to I aM I PROLAPSUS UTERI Tho 1TKBS.

Mr. Edmund Clarence Sled man, says the New York Evenkg Poet, has devoted so much of hie time of late years to critical work, that Ida fritnda have had reason to fear that in gainlsg critic we had loat a poet.

Tlie hook is called "Hawthorne and Ollier Poems, and, beginning with the poem on Hawthorne, will include a number of new miscellaneous poems, wLirli, then ii every reason to believe, will fitly represent the matured powers of tha poet. Mr.

Edmund Yates speaks in a very frank and manly way tf what he cells "My silly and unjustifiable attack upon Mr. Thackeray, made nearly twenty years ago, whan I waa quite a young man Tba attark to which ha refers was, through Dickens's unaueoaaaful attempts at mediation, the cause of the coolness which existed for several yeara between IHrkena end Thackeray.

Bnfliclent earth was removed in this operation of the jetties toflll a canal fifty feet wide and ton miles long, to an avenge depth of 1114 loot, while the river current took np from the jetty channel an additional amount sufficient to fill to the same depth canal twice os large. The report shows that in 107 days the amount of material removed was equal to 1.548,917 yards.

MWSW my I seemed almost a pity to so soon break the beautiful spell, when notion was given to "move on.

We went down an in dined way, looking steep, but made easy by handrails and deals, and along what we called a great floating platform. Our party had received an addition, including a gentleman who was to act as skipper, and soon all were safely In the trim, keel-bottomed boat the sail was hoisted, and the voyage begun, Wbat a breeze there was! And how the boat sped onward with strong, even motion It went rushing through the water with glad, dashing sound, that seemed like laugh of joy on its own account. Even the flying spray, sometimes rather too boisterous in its caresses, served to add to the general gayety of the occasion. The moon was all she had promised to lie, and more too. The water danced in her glory, and the prosy islands were all transformed by her magic.

Not a whiff of odor came to us from the much-abhorred Spectacle Island, whose dark buildings stood up sgainst the illuminated sky in masses of towers and chlmnoys, like the silhouette of some dreaming castle. One could easily have Imagined a story of enchantment about it if suddenly brought there from a poetic land of romance, instead of from the everyday world of "base utilities. Our changing course brought other islands into view, with their curving bluffs and rounded slopes. As for Moon Island, that seemed bathed in special radiance, as if it were the godchild of the queen of night, by love as well as name. Why was it so called? Could it have been because some one was once entranced by those silvery cliffs, as we were then? Drake's "Landmarks of Boston does not give any information upon the subject; and neither does a study of the map help matters, for as shown there Half Moon Island has quite a perfect crescent shape, but Moon Island has a funny narrow strip of land projecting from its round body, and much more suggests the body of a goose minus its legs than the beaming face of our satellite.

At any rate, until we learn better, we prefer to think that the Island was so named by an evening voyager long ago, who discovered, just as we did, that those gravel precipices are especially beloved by Goddess Imna. Alas! how frequently and mortify-ingly most of us are obliged to recognize our ignorance of topographical history, is it? We were sura of one thing, nevertheless, that nothing could be mine incongruous than the association of that enchanted island with a coming sewer, as is now the case in the minds of most Bostonians. The only trouble about the moon was that we could not very conveniently look at her all of the time. When, however, a tack brought our faces in the opposite direction, there was before us, as consolation, an array of lights along the shore, making a very pretty pectacle, Dorchester Heights was especially brilliant, with its Illuminated rows one above another, all seeming to dance with our motion. Of course, we did not feel ready to turn our course homeward when prudence dictated it; and that last part of the sail seemed wofully rapid.

Very muuh too soon ws were again at our point of departure, and stepped upon tho great raft once more. How we had reached it safely seemed quite miraculous, there was such a myriad ot boats anchored all about, and we had to thread our way in and out among so many of them. But there wo were again, and all was over. A waiting horse car stood at the station near by, and home was reached in good season, the journey proving so much shorter gTtces, pants, Dim cbuiMT' Practical landscape Gardener ud Florist, Rrepertffltly offm Me arrvteee fnr ths planning anti laying out of city, suburhau and villa gardens, ratal ernietoriea, parka aad grounds la gaoarxl; a UfMoag practice in thla branch warrants hlin la th belief iff giving entlro mtiafaetioa.

A rather curious scene occurred at Berlin, at a musical evening party to which Paganini was invited. A young and Presumptuous professor of the violin performed there several pieces with very little effect; he was not aware of the presence of the Genoese giant, whom he did not know eveu by sight.

As many people in tbe room Aid know him, however, it was not long before he was requested to favor the company with specimen of hi talent. After endeavoring for seme time to be excused, he was compelled to take the violin into his hand, when he played a few variations in inch a dreadfully bad style that several persons could not control their laughter. The young professor then came forward and played soother piece in tlie most conceited manner possible, end with an evident sneer et tbe illustrious moutro. Paganini' took up the instrument second time and played a short piece with such deep feeling and astonishing execution that tha audience at as if petrified, and et tbe concluding cadence burst forth into such thunder iff applanae that it was quite deafening. During the tnmult the young professor escaped unnoticed, and was never again seen in tha honse st which he had received so severe a lesson.

The following eg Ait It recently been published at Vienna: Mine. Adelina Patti was invited, when in the Austrian capital, to the home of Baron Rothschild, together with other celebrated singers. Daring the evening she wse invited end consented to sing, ana of course delighted every listener. Princess Pauline Metlernlch was among the guests, snd implored Mma. Patti to sing a Favorite song.

Mma, Petti consented, bnt whispered a few words to Rothschilds secre-tary, who was standing near her. The secretary immediately reported the words to Baron Rothschild. They were to tbe effect that she would of course sing the song, bnt on the terms she had sung the first pieea. Baron Rothschild hastened to communicate Mm. Patti's message to the princess, begging her, under the drcnmaUncee, to forego tha song, and promising, In return, to place sight tbou-aand florins et the disposal of the princess for her poor pensioners.

"Choice Autobiographies, the new series announced by J. K. Osgood is a happy thought in literature. Hera we have, or are to have, in compact and elegant form, the tory of the lives of eminent men end women of the past, told by themielvaa, without th Interference of friendly or unfriendly pans.

His method of treatment of spinal diseases is to give complete and continued rest day and night at the point where the inflammation exists, perfect freedom from compression and at the same time absolute immobility, so enabling consolidation to take place. His process involves the temporary suspension of the patient in a peculiar apparatus by which the weight of the bead and shoulders is taken off the spine, and the application of a skin-fitting shirt, coated over with plaster of Paris. A sufficient vacuum for the patient's food is scoured by laying a cotton pad or india-rubber bag beneath the shirt, over the stomach, until the outer case is hardened, after which it may be removed. Dr. Bayre exhibited a patient, a young man of nineteen, who had suffered from an angular curvature of the spine, the angle of this curvature being about DO degrees, and was only able to move about by putting his hands on his knees or catching at the furniture.

After six weeks treatment the patient was perfectly erect, and bad Kinmt three-quarters of an inch in height; had taken unassisted a walk of four miles, and the bone was rapidly developing.
