3 rv 7a: M lassaclusetts Tsttute of echology, BOYLSTON STREET, BOSTON. FRANCS A. WALKER, Presdent. T-s school s devoted to the teachng of scence, as appled to the varous engneerng professons; vz., cvl, mechancal, mnng, and electrcal engneerng, as well as to archtecture, chemstry, metallurgy, physcs, and natural hstory. Besdes the above dstnctly professonal courses, the nsttute offers scentfc courses of a less techncal character, desgned to gve students a preparaton for busness callngs. A four years' course ll bology, chemstry, and physcs has been establshed, as preparatory to the professonal study of medcne. Modern languages are taught, so far as s needed for the ready and accurate readng of scentfc works and perodcals, and may be further pursued as a means of general tranng. The consttutonal and poltcal hstory of England a d the Unted States, poltcal economy, and nternatonal law are taught, n a measure, to the students or all regular courses, and may be further pursued as optonal studes. Applcants for admsson to the nsttute are examned n Englsh grammar, geography, Frech, arthmetc, algebra, modern hstory, and geometry. A fuller statement of the requrements for admsson wvll be found ll the catalogue, vwhch wll b)e sent wthout charge, on applcaton. A clear admsson paper from any college of recognzed character wll be accepted as evdence of preparaton, n place of an examnaton. Graduates of colleges conferrng degrees, who have the necessary qualfcatons for enterng the thrd year class n any of the regular courses of the nsttute, wrll be so admtted, provsonally, on the presentaton of ther dplomras, and wll be gven opportunty to make up all defcences n l)rofessonal subjects. The feature of nstructon whch has been most largely developed n the school s laboratory tranng, shop work, and feld practce, to supplement, to llustrate, and to emphasze the nstructon of the rectaton and lecture room. Surveyng-nstruments are provded for feld work n cvl and topographcal engneerng. Extensve shops have been ftted up for the use of both hand and machne tools, and a laboratory of steam engneerng has been establshed as a part of the nstructon n mechancal engneerng. Several steam-bolers and steam-engnes of varous types are avalable for experments and tests, as well as a large amount of specal apparatus for measurng power, for gaugng the flow of water, for tests of beltng, etc. The laboratory of appled mechancs contans two testng-machnes, one for ascertanng transverse strength, the other for tenson and compresson,-besdes apparatus for tme-tests on tmber, for tests of mortars and cements, for tests of shaftng, etc. The department of mnng engneerng and metallurgy has the use of laboratores n whch the mllng and smeltng of lead, copper, slver, and other ores, n economc quanttes, are regularly performed by the students themselves. The classes n archtecture supplement the work of the drawng and desgnng rooms by the examnaton of structures completed or n course of erecton, and by practcal experment n the laboratory of appled mechancs, testng the strength of materals and workng out problems n constructon. The Kdder Chemcal Laboratores consst of a laboratory for general chemstry (288 places); a laboratory for analytcal chemstry (O8 places), together wth a specal room for volumetrc analyss (20 places) and a balance-room wth 22 balances; a laboratory for organc chemstry (30 places); a laboratory for santary chemstry (6 places); a laboratory for ndustral chemstry (6 places); two convenent lecture-rooms; and a well-suppled lbrary and readng-room. The laboratores are thoroughly equpped for the purposes of ordnary nstructon, and they also possess excellent facltes for the promoton of orgnal research. The Rogers Laboratory of Physcs, the frst laboratory n whch nstructon was systematcally gven to classes by means of elementary physcal measurements conducted by the students themselves, s well provded wth the needful facltes for laboratory nstructon n both elementary and advanced techncal physcs, especally n the dfferent branches of electrcal engneerng. On the successful completon of any one of the four-year courses of the nsttute, the degree of "Bachelor of Scence" wll be conferred. The degrees of "Master of Scence," "Ph.D.," and "Doctor of Scence" are open to persons pursung advanced studes and conductng orgnal researches. Specal students are allowed to enter specal dvsons of any of the courses, on gvng evdence that they are prepared to pursue wth advantage the studes selected. The fee for tuton s $2oo a year. Besdes ths, $25 or $30 ' are needed for books and nstruments. There are no separate laboratory fees; only payment for artcles broken s requred. For nformaton, address, JAS. P. MUNROE, Secretary.

OCATED, as we are, n the mdst of that porton of the cty whch s occuped by publc buldngs and fne resdences, wth not wholly suffcent accommodatons as t s, and no chance for expanson here, the nsttute, lke other cty colleges, labors under the dsadvantage of havng no dormtory system. We say "'dsadvantage," for such we consder t. We are perfectly aware, however, that ths s not the vew held by our Faculty. t s not our ntenton to dscuss ths matter here, but merely to state that the queston of provdng accommodatons for students here s one to whch the Faculty or the Corporaton must soon gve some attenton. Students at the nsttute may be dvded nto three classes: there are those whose home s n Boston; those who resde out of town, and come nto the cty every day; and those who come fro m a dstance, and are oblged to board here. A glance at the Presdent's report wll show that ths class ncludes about one half of the whole body of students, and the number s constantly ncreasng. Now, t s becomng a very dffcult matter for these men to fnd sutable boardng-places convenent to our buldngs, and at a reasonable prce. Boardng near the nsttute s very expensve; and as the necessary expenses of a student here are probably more than at any other college n the country, wth the possble excepton of Columba, whch s smlarly stuated, t s not desrable to ncrease these. We thnk ths s a matter n whch the Faculty should take some nterest, and we take ths occason of drawng ther attenton to t, makng no attempt to suggest any plan for mprovement. As the Corporaton would probably be opposed to the buldng of dormtores themselves, they mght nduce some prvate party to erect one, n whch he could let rooms to students here. Doubtless t would prove a good nvestment. HE result of the radcal and sweepng changes whch have been recently made n the whole system of nstructon n the analytcal laboratory, wll be awated wth nterest. For the beneft of students who do not take chemstry, we wll state that pror to the present term all chemsts and mners, after performng between twenty and thrty qualtatve analyses, have been expected to determne the amounts of the prncpal consttuents n a smlar number of substances of a composton known to the nstructor. When the student's results agreed wth those of the nstructor wthn a lmt varyng wth the character of the substance, they receved a red mark; f otherwse, a blue mark except when just on the lmt, when a red and blue mark notfed the analyst that hs work was suffcently accurate to obvate the necessty of a repetton. The number and knd of marks receved fxed the standng of the stu-

Followng are the prncpal features of the new regme stated by Prof. Drown n an address to the Junor chemsts durng the frst week of the term, and explaned n detal to the students n classes:. Students wll hereafter work n classes on the same substance. No one wll be allowed to get ahead so as to complete hs work earler than the others, as htherto, but wll be gven, f necessary, extra work n the same lne wth the rest of the class. 2. The substance assgned each class wll be of uuknown composton. Each student xvll be requred to make a duplcate analyss n each method he employs, and thus check hs own results and those of the other members of the class. 3. nstead of adherng to any one system of analyss, every student wll work out for hmself, by consultaton of all the leadng authortes, the best method or methods for the substance n hand; and new modes of analyss wll be assgned certan students for tral when deemed advantageous. 4. The old markng system wll be practcally abolshed; but standngs wll be largely determned by an examnaton at the close of the term. 5. Specal stress wll hereafter be lad on samplng the substance to be analyzed. 6. n future, the student wll be expected to be at work n the laboratory durng the hours so assgned n the tabular vew, whether present other hours or not, and attendance wll be marked accordngly. t s alleged, n favor of the foregong changes, that students wll learn much more by readng up a determnaton and dscussng t n the class, and acqure more confdence n ther own results by makng duplcate analyses, than by repeatng an analyss after a gven method untl t agrees wth certan results; and that as t s mpossble for a student to learn more than a comparatvely small number of methods whle at the nsttute, greater attenton should be pad to tranng hm to formulate for hmself, from the latest authortes, a method for any determnaton whch may become necessary. t s also urged that by relatng hs work n the class, the student wll learn how to descrbe such researches as he may make n after lfe. The professor proposes to have the analytcal work ultmately systematzed, as follows: Sophomores: frst tern, qualtatve analyss; second term, analyss of smple, natural, and artfcal compounds. Junors: frst term, analyss of ores, etc.; second term, analyss of slags and more dffcult substances. YE are sure that no one who has examned the frst number of Technque can fal to realze the mmense amount of tme and energy that must have been gven by the edtors to produce such a volume. And any one who has compared the book wth the annuals of other colleges, must acknowledge that t reflects most credtably upon the body of students whch t represents. We are sorry to be oblged to refer to the matter agan n ths way, but the fact s that the students of the nsttute have not by any means fulflled the expectatons of the edtors n ther fnancal support. We hestate to name the rdculously small number of copes already sold, but wll say that at least onze zhundred more must be sold n order to meet the actual expenses of publcaton. There are lterally hundreds of students n the nsttute who have not taken a sngle copy, and we feel sure that after ths plan statement of facts the majorty of ths number wll apprecate the duty they owe to ther fellow-students, and take at least one copy each. Techznque s on sale at THE TECH offce whenever THE TECH s on delvery, and any orders left n the letter-rack addressed to H. C. Spauldng, wth the amount (ffty cents) nclosed, wll be promptly flled. CC3ESSRS. Solomon Sturges, '87, and A. S. U Warren, '88, have been elected edtors of THE TECH, and begn ther dutes wth ths number. Ths makes the edtoral board complete, wth the excepton of a member from the Freshman class. l S

One stop was to be made n Labrador, so after runnng a few mles down the Newfoundland coast we headed across the strat. Durng the early part of the day the breeze was favorable, but by afternoon t had ded out completely; and when evenng came the wnd was "dead ahead." About nne o'clock n the evenng we ran nto Loup Bay, and anchored. The harbor s small, and not very well protected from the wnd. The land round about s very much hgher than t s on the Newfoundland coast opposte. On the north- ern sde of the bay s a hgh hll whose sdes are marked by three well- / defned terraces. Back some dstance stand the Bradore Hlls, the hghest land n ths neghborhood. On the south- -' ern sde of the harbor the hlls are not as hgh., - Near the entrance of - the bay s a small bght known as Schooner Cove - and t s at ths pont that the settlement s [_, X N THE stuated. The nhabtants are mostly n the employment of a large London fshng frm havng qute an extensve place here, and employng somethng lke two hundred men. Ths same frm have other establshments n Labrador and Newfoundland. Blanc Sablon, stuated about ffteen mles west of Loup Bay, s the only post-offce n ths neghborhood; and as we had receved no mal snce the mddle of June, we were naturally anxous to reach that place. On gong on deck one mornng we saw a small steamer at one of the wharves; on makng nqury, we found that - the rocks le n a nearly horzontal poston, and the acton of the waves has produced some very pretty effects. There s a graveyard here, stuated under one of the clffs, and t s certanly a curosty, wth ts rough pne slabs for head-stones, upon whch are carved nscrptons, the spellng of whch has to be decphered wth consderable care n order to make anythng out of t. True to agreement, the next evenng the small steamer brought our man back wth the mal, and for a tme the yacht's cabn presented a lvely scene -) as the numerous letters ----.and packages of papers were opened, to fnd out what had happened n the two months we had been shut off from the world, and the cheerfulness of thngs was ncreased by the thought that the next day would fnd us homeward bound.

All day long our breeze lasted, and we rapdly passed the famlar scenes of our up trp; and when we came to anchor that nght, off Cow Head,- our log regstered one hundred and sx mles, makng our total run for that day about one hundred and twenty-fve mles. Next day we ran nto the harbor of Cow Head, and anchored, n order to fnsh up some work that had been too rapdly passed over on our prevous vst. Our stay here was lmted to

Our stop at Port au Port was, as at Cow Head, for one day only. The wnd had shfted around so that t was nearly dead ahead, and the dea of tryng to beat to any of the Cape Breton harbors was not a pleasant one, so we made stll another stop before leavng the Newfoundland coast for good. Ths tme our anchorage was at Red sland, stuated off the southwest coast of Newfoundland. Ths sland s a small one, and s occuped by the French as a fshng staton, under the charge of Capt. Dameron, who also has control of the other French statons along the west coast. The fshermen are from Brttany and are of the most gnorant class, though the offcers are farly well educated. They lve n lttle huts perched up on the sde of a clff. These huts are taken down when they leave n the fall, as the severe storms of wnter cause the waves to wash well up aganst the clff. Formerly there were two beaches avalable for landng ther fshng-boats; but last wnter one of them was entrely washed away, renderng useless the nclne that ran from t to the top of the clff. At the other beach there s also an nclne, used for haulng up ther dores and fshng-boats when the men are ready to leave for the season. Qute a number of boys are employed n spreadng out the fsh, and they receve the munfcent sum of oo francs a year for ther work. To say the least, the fshermen are not pleasantly stuated as regards some of ther domestc necesstes, for they are oblged to brng all ther wood and water from the manland; but they evdently got along very well wthout the latter, as they rarely drnk t, and dd not seem to thnk that t mght be put to any other use. Durng our stay of a day and a half at Red sland, we wondered much at the rngng of a bell whch we heard every lttle whle; and upon gong ashore to nvestgate, we found that t meant for one crowd or another of the men or boys to come and get a drnk of very bad brandy, whch was dealt out n a tn measure by a meek-lookng young Frenchman, who very kndly offered to gve us some; but desrng to reach our natve land agan we declned hs offer wth many thanks.

9 - THEE T/ECH. 131 Some years ago thd sland was heavly wooded, but by some means or other all the trees were burnt off; and now, where the woods formerly stood have sprung up large patches of. wld strawberry plants. Here, on the 3th of August, we pcked the most delcous large berres, and n suffcent quantty to abundantly supply our table. From Cow Head along down we saw varous large forest fres, and were told that they had been started n order to clear the land by some enterprsng natve, who smply started them; and f they only cleared off hs place, t was of no concern to hm whether any other's property was destroyed or not. A run of a day and half brought us off the Cape Breton coast, near Cape North. The wnd blew drectly ahead for us on each coast, and so we anchored, and wated for a change. The coast along here s hgh and well-wooded, presentng a beautful appearance from the water. When we got the desred breeze, we started down the eastern coast of Cape Breton for the famous Bras d'or Lakes. Ths sde of the sland has not the wldness of the northern coast, and has many more harbors than the latter. By evenng we had reached the entrance of the Great Bras d'or, where we anchored for the nght. The physcal conformaton of Cape Breton sland s pecular, beng dvded nto two portons, of very nearly equal sze, by an arm of the sea, about seventy mles long, the two parts beng unted at the western end by a neck scarcely a mle wde. Several years ago ths neck was cut by a canal, makng the lakes a favorte route for tradng-schooners and yachtsmen. Next mornng a short run brought us to Kelly Cove, as t s called, where we tred to fnd some person to take us through, as our own plot was not famlar wth the channel. We soon found a man wllng to gude us. A fne easterly breeze drove us along as rapdly as we could desre. The approach to the smaller, or Lttle Bras d'or, s exceedngly beautful. The hlls on ether sde are of graceful outlne; on the lower slopes, here and there, are farm-houses and clearngs, whle the tops are covered wth tuft-lke forests. The scenery s very much lke that of the Hudson, and the resemblance s much enhanced by the numbers of small slands wth ther lttle whte lghthouses. As we opened the lake, palsade-lke gypsum clffs began to appear, addng greatly to the beauty of the scenery. These gypsum clffs are a promnent feature of the Cape Breton scenery. When the rock s frst broken t has a rch creamy tnt, but the acton of the weather gradually tones t down to a lght gray. By one o'clock we had reached Baddeck, the captal of Cape Breton slands. On ether sde of the entrance of the harbor are lghthouses, and there, aganst a background of rollng green hlls, lay Baddeck, a mnature seaport n a mnature sea. The cty s complete, and has ts shp-yards, wharves, customhouse, jal, suburbs, hotels, and all, yet t numbers only about one hundred houses, and a populaton of fve hundred. We stopped here only a short tme, n order to land our plot, and then we contnued. The Lttle Bras d'or s about ten mles square. t s connected wth the Great Bras d'or by Barra Strat, better known, perhaps, by the name of Grand Narrows. The large lake s about ffteen mles n wdth. The northern sde s dotted wth pcturesque lttle slands, whle the southern sde s lned wth vertcal gypsum clffs. Taken altogether, a more beautful and attractve place than the Bras d'or for summer crusng would be hard to fnd. After leavng the Great Bras d'or we enter one of the most enjoyable portons of the lakes. The channel s narrow and tortuous, and the whole s flled wth lttle slands, and the shores are ndented wth small coves. n gong through ths porton, short tacks and the greatest care are necessary to avod gettng aground. By fve o'clock n the evenng we had reached the canal at St. Peters, but as t was Sunday

10 132 THE TECH. there was no chance of gettng through that nght, so we were oblged to wat untl next mornng. We spent that evenng strollng around n the vcnty, and when we had tred of walkng, we sat on the brdge and lstened to a vocal concert by some of the natves, though regret to say the musc was not exactly of an order best ftted for the Sabbath. Early Monday mornng we went through the locks, and havng pad our two cents a ton toll, left for Port Hawkesbury, where we were to obtan some necessary supples. Our trp back down the Nova Scota shore was unnterestng unless one takes pleasure n storms and head-wnds. Wednesday mornng, August 26th, we passed Cape Sable, the southernmost pont of Nova Scota, and we were soon out of sght of the Cape Shore. Late n the afternoon the wnd ncreased to a regular gale, compellng us to run under greatly reduced sal. By mdnght the sea was tremendous, and many of the waves threw ther spray entrely over the yacht, whle some washed up enough to fll our standng-room completely. However, the full moon gave us lght enough to enable us to contnue; otherwse we should have been oblged to lay to, on account of the heavy sea and wnd. The next forenoon was a repetton of the past nght, but by evenng the breeze had abated consderably, and the sea was rapdly dyng down. That we had made consderable leeway we were aware, but our surprse was great when, at ten o'clock that evenng, we made the Hghland Lght and the Nauset Beacons on the outsde of Cape Cod. And now the breeze went to just the other extreme n a most exasperatng manner, and left us all that nght and untl noon the followng day n a calm. Along n the afternoon a lght wnd sprang up, and ncreased gradually, and by ten o'clock Frday nght, August 28th, we were safely anchored n Annsquam harbor. Early Saturday mornng we packed up our thngs and bade farewell to the yacht that had carred us n safety over so many waters. B. Banjo Mne.

Such a road as ths dscovered n a lttle New Hampshre town, where was spendng a summer vacaton several years ago. The "Old Turnpke," as t was called, was a part of the old stage.road, and n ts earler days had seen a great deal of busy, actve lfe. But ten or twelve years before, the brook whch flowed harmlessly besde the road had been turned by a great freshet nto a ragng torrent.

Repar was hopeless, and the road had been abandoned to blackberry bushes and alders. dscovered the path late one August afternoon, and set out joyfully on an explorng expedton. The anxous speculaton whch had been makng n regard to the troubles of the X. Y & Z. Mnng Company faded out of my mnd, and the charm of the tme and place ganed complete possesson of me. pcked my way carefully along the sde of the deep gorge, where grass and wld vnes had done ther best to hde the ravages of the freshet. A lttle brook trckled along the bottom of the gorge, and could smell the peppermnt that grew upon ts borders. Presently came to hgher ground, and the brook dsappeared. strolled slowly along, now between tall pnes, whch grew up close to the walls on ether sde of the moss-grown road; now pushng my way through the brches, whch had crowded up socably, tll there was nothng left of the hghway but a narrow foot-path trodden occasonally by cows, or perhaps by boys on blackberry and fshng expedtons. Here the bushes dsappeared, and a meadow, softly green n the afternoon sunlght, stretched away to the south and west. The brook, crossng the 'road lesurely, wth a sublme ndfference to the runed culvert, flowed slently through the deep grass, ts borders marked here and there by tall flags. Farther on, the road wdened a lttle, and on a slght emnence, wth an outlook over the meadow, stood an old, weather-beaten house. t had evdently been a tavern n old tmes, for t was qute an extensve establshment, but much of t was now n runs. Llacs were growng near the door, and "bouncng bets," blossomed under the wndows. sat down upon the wall at a lttle dstance, and gave myself up to fancful speculaton. Yes,, a man of busness, wth a reputaton among busness men for keenness and practcal sagacty, sat upon a wall, after the sun had gone down, and wove romances about the runed tavern. The brds grew socable, and a rabbt, whch chanced to wander that way, after lookng at me a moment wth ndgnant surprse, pursued hs course, dsdanng any fear. pctured the stage, wth ts four gallopng horses, drawng up before the tavern door; the landlord bustlng out to receve hs guests and hear the latest news from the cty; whle the hostler watered the steamng horses. saw the tavern-keeper's daughter stand n the doorway, and, shadng her eyes wth her hand, look eagerly down the road. fanced her lover had been hayng n the meadow, and she was watchng for hm to come to supper. was growng qute sentmental over the pretty daughter of the tavern-keeper ( was sure she was pretty, wth yellow har and a yellow dress), when suddenly saw n a path a lttle way from my feet a small, leather-covered,. quarto. Steppng down from the wall, pcked t up cautously. There was somethng wtchng about such a dscovery n that lonely place, wth the werd lght of the settng sun and the rsng moon fallng upon the meadow and the runed tavern. t was a small manuscrpt book bound n allgator skn. looked at t n a dazed knd of way for a moment; then, wth the methodcal habt of a busness man, turned mechancally to the fly-leaf for a name and address. The name was there-mllcent Armstrong - but nothng else. turned the leaves. The book was flled wth verses wrtten n a clear, graceful hand. read the frst one, stranng my eyes n the twlght. f remember correctly, these were some of the verses- " Thle same sutn rose each day last -ear, Tle same earth smled back her delght; But snce vou watched t wth me, dear, The dawn has seemed mnore brght. " The wld rose bloomed upon the wall last year, And shed ts fragrance thro' the summer ar; But snce you plucked and gave one to me, dear, All roses seemed more far. AMy lfe was very glad and sweet last year, And earth was lovely, frends wrere good and true; But earth seems farer, frends more true, mny dear, Snce knowng, lovng you."

12 THE TECFH There was more of t, whch cannot recall, and there were other poems followng, whch read as long as could see. t was not very good poetry, to be sure, but thought t was remarkable for the tavern-keeper's daughter to wrte. had no queston whatever as to ts havng been wrtten by any one else. t suddenly occurred to me that had been readng what had no busness to read, and began to be ashamed of myself. The grl who wrote the verses, whether she belonged to ths century or the last, had spoken rght out of her warm, unguarded heart, and had been coolly lstenng. A whp-poor-wll paused on the fence behnd the llacs, and sang persstently, "Shame on you! shame on you!" glanced up at the old house, and there, n the runed doorway, stood the fgure of a grl,* tall and slender, wth a crown of yellow har, and yellow draperes floatng around her. A shver ran over me, and stood rooted to the ground, gazng at the apparton. She shaded her eyes a moment and looked anxously down the road, tll, seeng me, she stepped over the door-stone and came toward me hestatngly. "Excuse me," she sad, and her voce sounded clear and sweet as a bell-note,- " Excuse me, but have lost a book, ths afternoon. Have you seen anythng n the road?" Wth a mghty effort collected my wts, and holdng out the lttle yellow quarto, asked her f that was the one she had lost. She took t eagerly. "Oh, am so glad to fnd t! t s somethng whch value very hghly. thank you very much." She was evdently not a ghost. She blushed n a very human manner when she spoke, and her hand, whch touched mne as she took the book, was soft and warm. "sn't t late for you to be out alone n ths deserted place?" asked. " thought you were a ghost." She gave a queer lttle laugh, and looked at me wthout smlng. "How do you know that am not a ghost? The old house s sad to be haunted." "How nterestng! Won't you tell me the story?" The grl looked at me a moment somewhat scornfully. She was a beautful creature, ghost or not. "Aren't you afrad of ghost stores?" she asked. " Oh, yes;- but lke them all the better for that," repled, wthout removng my fasnated gaze. She began, wth a slghtly malcous expresson on her face :- "The story goes, that the man who kept the tavern, seventy years ago, had a beautful daughter, for whose marrage he had ambtous plans. But she gave her heart to a young man who worked on her father's farm. When the attachment was dscovered, the rate parent turned the young man out of hs house, and kept the daughter under strct survellance. After wastng away n tears for some months, she fnally escaped from her wndow by nght, and was never heard of afterward. No trace of her was ever found, except a lttle yellow scarf, whch was dscovered on the borders of a pond a few mles from here. Whether she lost her way n the nght and fell nto the pond, or n despar drowned herself, no one ever knew." The narrator paused, to see what was the effect of the story. was lstenng unmoved, except by her beauty and her audacty, beng convnced that she was extemporzng for my beneft. "And the ghost?" questoned, lost n admraton of a young woman who could stand at nght, n such a lonely place, and regale a stranger wth stores of supernatural vstatons. "t s sad," she proceeded, "that the grl may be seen, on certan nghts, standng n the doorway watchng for her lover to come up from the meadow; and a sound of sobbng s sometmes heard from the chamber where she was confned by her cruel parent. Ths was the chamber up here," she explaned, pontng to the nearest corner of the house. "t s an exceedngly nterestng story," sad, as she paused, "and thank you very much for tellng t. Now, unless you are the ghost

"Thank you," sad the lady, drawng herself up; " am not at all afrad, and prefer to go alone." She drew her lght wrap more closely about her and was movng away, when a strange nose, lke a successon of gaspng sobs, ssued from the haunted chamber. The color fled from the haughty maden's face, and wth a scream of terror she clung tremblng to my arm. took her hand, whch was cold wth frght, and tred to comfort her, wth the assurance that the nose was only the hootng of an owl. But t was some tme before she reganed her composure. Then she meekly submtted when drew her hand through my arm, and ponted out the drecton n whch she wshed to go. felt very trumphant, and exerted myself to be entertanng as we walked on through the woods, but my companon was very slent. The charm of her presence, however, was enough for me, and the lght touch of her lttle hand upon my arm thrlled me wth delght. Suddenly she paused, and wthdrew her hand. "Thank you for your protecton," she sad. " Good-nght ;" and turnng away from me, she vanshed n the hazel copse on the rght of the path. stood petrfed wth astonshment for a momoment. Had been the subject of an hallucnaton, or the vctm of a practcal joke? A whp-poor-wll called out mockngly from a dsdstant wall, " Where s she now? where s she now?" searched the copse for traces of a path, but the thck growth of bushes and the ncreasng darkness baffled all my efforts, and had to gve up the quest, and turned my steps unwllngly homeward. At the hotel, that nght, made nqures n regard to the guests stayng n town. No Mlss Armstrong had been heard of, and my landlady sad she knew the names of every one who lved n the place. Judgng from the nterest whch she took n my nvestgatons, thought t qute lkely that she dd. Durng the week that followed was lke one dstraught. could thnk of nothng but my yellow-hared ghost, and pondered deeply over the mystery that nvested her. Every day made plgrmages down the turnpke; vsted the old tavern at mornng, noon, and nght. searched carefully for the path by whch the grl had dsappeared, but was unable ever to dscover the hazel copse. lost my appette, was unable to sleep, and was so absent-mnded that my frends remarked upon my altered demeanor. One afternoon, n a melancholy and dscouraged frame of mnd, wandered down the old road, stll wth the fant hope that the ghost would appear to me agan. All was slent n and around the run. A few more brcks had fallen from one of the topplng chmneys, but there was no trace of ghostly or human vstant. As stood lookng nto one of the dsmantled rooms, my attenton was attracted by a pewee's nest, bult above the door. mpelled by the old boysh sprt of dscovery, pled up some brcks, and clmbed up to look nto the nest. My footng was nsecure, and slpped, fallng back heavly upon the floor. The rotten planks gave way, and there was a sudden crash and snkng. When came to myself, was lyng n the cellar of the tavern wth two heavy beams across my ankle, whch was achng horrbly. tred to move the rubbsh, but my wrst had been njured by the fall, so that could not help myself n the least. The outlook was frghtful. The pan grew worse every moment, and the chances of any one comng to my rescue were very few. How long lay n ths agony of body and mnd do not know. Sunset was fast comng on, when heard a lght step and a clear, flutelke whstle just outsde the door. thought t was some farmer's boy after the cows, but the whstle charmed me nto slence, and lstened spellbound as the sounds came nearer. heard a step on the door-stone; then a shadow darkened the entrance, and looked up to see my ghost standng there, her hat n her hand, the last rays of the settng sun shnng on her crown of golden har, and the pale draperes floatng around her lke a mst.

Presently she gave a lttle cry of surprse, and leaned forward. moved then, and spoke. "Do you suppose you can help me out?" asked. The grl who was not afrad to tell ghost stores by moonlght, was true to her character n ths crss. She clmbed cautously down over the debrs, and, wth a lttle effort on my part, succeeded n lberatng me. To get out of the cellar was a much more dffcult feat, for my spraned ankle and wrst rendered me almost helpless; and when at last found myself on the grass outsde the door, the pan overcame me, and fanted agan. The vson whch met my eyes wth returnng conscousness was very agreeable. The beautful face bendng over mne was full of solctude, and the hand lad lghtly on my wrst was very soft and whte. "Do you thnk you can walk a lttle way, wth my assstance?" she asked kndly. " hate to leave you here alone, whle go for more help" thought could walk to the ends of the earth wth such a dvne support, and so we started out. Progressng slowly, wth frequent stoppng to rest, we came presently to the hazel copse, where we paused, and the lady remarked: "There s a short cut here whch leads to our house. t s a narrow path, but perhaps we can manage to get along. t s only a few steps." We turned nto the bushes, and after followng an mperceptble track for a few mnutes, we came.nto an open feld, on the farther sde of whch stood a farm-house, and very soon was restng on a sofa n the cool, pleasant parlor Even the experence of beng carred gnomnously home n the farmer's wagon, and the prospect of two weeks, confnement wth a spraned ankle, faled to dampen my delght at havng unraveled the mystery of the ghost, and dscoverng her hdng-place. Once or twce durng the ten days whle was recoverng from my njures, there came a message of kndly nqury from the farm-house, and when was agan able to go out, turned my face ththerward. The lady was sttng on the pazza, and receved me most cordally. We talked about my accdent, and the run, and she confessed to a romantc fondness for the place; "Else shouldn't have been there that nght when frst met you," she added, laughng. " have a confesson to make about that nght," sad. "A confesson!" and she smled encouragngly. "What can t be?" "You remember how found your lttle book?" began, plungng n desperately. "Well, pcked t up n the road, and read t half through before you came. Can you ever forgve the mpertnence?" She smled agan brghtly and kndly "That s an offense easly forgven. There was no harm done. value the lttle book very hghly, because -" she hestated a lttle, and a beautful color spread over her face -' because my husband wrote the verses when he was a boy n college, and gave them to me n the early days of our courtshp." took my leave presently and hobbled home.

One of the best artcles n the January magaznes s the admrable one on " Darwnsm and Democracy," n the Fortnghtly, by W. S. Llly. Mr. Llly draws the lne more clearly than have ever seen t drawn, between true and false Darwnsm-between the Darwnsm of Darwn and the Darwnsm of Haeckel and Paul Bert. "The cell," wrtes Hackel "conssts of matter called protoplasm, composed chefly of carbon, wth an admxture of hydrogen, ntrogen, and sulphur. These component parts, properly unted, produce the soul and body 'of the anmated world, and sutably nursed become man. Wth ths-sngle argument the mystery of the unverse s explaned, the Dety annulled, and a new era of nfnte knowledge ushered n." "Others may occupy themselves," says Mr. Paul Bert, "f they wll.n 3eekng a nostrum to destroy the phylloxera; be t mne to fnd one to destroy the Chrstan relgon." ACnd that nostrum s supposed to have been found n popular Darwnsm-the Darwnsm, let me say, of Prof. Haeckel. The dffculty s that ths s not Darwnsm, as Mr. Llly, who s a profound belever n the genune doctrnes of Evoluton, proceeds to show. " accept, gratefully," he says, "all that Mr. Darwn can teach me about the facts of natural hstory. But he cannot teach me that whch he dd not hmself know, that of Whch he dsclamed all knowledge. A physcst, not a phlosopher, he worked n the sphere of sensepercepton. n metaphyscs, n mental scence, as s evdent upon the face of hs wrtngs, he was qute unversed. He tells us explcty that hs system " s not concerned wth the orgn of sprtual or vtal forces. " But the chef object of Mr. Llly's paper s to draw the lne between true and false democracybetween that natonal democracy whch should be the fath of every enlghtened poltcal thnker, and the mad French democracy of Rousseau and the Jacobns, and to show how the one s the outcome of true Evoluton, and fnds ts support n a genune poltcal phlosophy, whle the other tres to fnd support n what he, perhaps, not too strongly calls the "blasphemy and ferocty" of the medco-athestc school of Haeckel and Paul Bert; and t s a bad omen for the success of free nsttutons n France, that the latter fgures so promnently among her poltcans. There s not space here to gve even the outlnes of the argument by whch the wrter shows that the doctrne of Evoluton, rghtly understood, s the key to poltcal scence, and true phlosophy of hstory. "Assuredly, modern democracy," he says, " f t s not to ssue n a soluton of the contnuty of human progress, wll have to ground ts doctrne of human rght, not upon theores, whch depersonalze man, but uapon the prmary fact of free-wll and moral oblgaton whch consttute hm ap erson; wll have to desert ts medco-athestc teachers, and gve ear to Kart, as 'n prophetc tones he warns ths new age that wthout a God, and wthout a world nvsble to us now, but hoped for, the glorous deas of ethcs may ndeed be objects of approbaton and admraton, but cannot be the sprngs of purpose and acton."

Under the ttle of " mpressons of a Modern Arcadan," Mrs. Ncholl gves an amusng account of the backwardness of our State of Vrgna, to whch she appears to have emgrated from England. Perhaps the worn-out Old Domnon wll be one of the last of the Southern States to feel the great wave of materal prosperty whch s rapdly lftng them all out of the depresson caused by slavery; but she wll feel t sooner or later. From England there comes the frst number of a new perodcal, The Englsh fhstorcal Revew, and a remarkably handsome specmen of prntng t s. ts purpose * explaned n an nterestng prefatory note. England, t seems, s the only one of the great countres of.europe that has no perodcal exclusvely devoted to the subject of hstory. And yet, " besdes the thrty-fve mllons of the Unted Kngdom, there s n Amerca and the Brtsh colones and dependences an Englsh-speakng populaton of nearly seventy mllons, who form, for purposes of lterature, learnng, and scence, vrtually one people wth the nhabtants of the Old Country." Then follows a sketch of the dfferent vews as to the scope of hstory, and an outlne of the plan of the journal, whch s to be strctly scentfc and non-partsan. The frst artcle s a long one on German Schools of Hstory, by Lord Acton, the learned Roman Catholc edtor of the excellent old Brtsh and Foregn Revew, read and respected by all scholars, untl that remarkably stupd old Pope Pus X., at the bddng of hs Jesut governors, put hs foot on t as dangerously lberal. Then follows an artcle by Prof. Freeman on the dark tmes whch followed the downfall of Rome, and whch he s studyng and lecturng on at Oxford. The Cambrdge Hstory-Prof. Seeley follows, wth a paper on the House of Bourbon. There s a department devoted to the notce of publcaton of hstorcal documents, and another for the revew of books, n whch may be found an unfavorable comparson between the poor Hstory of the Constutton, recently publshed by the veteran Bancroft, and the far better one of G. T. Curts, now so long out of prnt. The vast extent of hstorcal lterature can be estmated by the twenty-three columns of ttles of hstorcal books recently publshed n all parts of the cvlzed world. The new journal wll be ndspensable to all serous students of hstory. The Centuly for February has an llustrated account of that remarkable artst, Barye, whose beautful bronzes are known all over the cvlzed world. There s another on cty dwellngs n Amerca, whose llustratons, and especally the pcture of the Somerset Club House, are partcularly good. n the "Dance n Place Congo," Mr. George W. Cable gves the musc of varous negro and creole songs. Mr. Howells begns a new novel, "The Mnster's Charge," and Mr. James concludes "The Bostonans." And let no one who lkes a good laugh, overlook Mammy Lendy's "scurdgeon " to see "de Smffsone nschute," and her adventures there. n the Nneteenth Century for January, Mr. Andrew Lang has a paper on " Myths and Mythologsts," n whch he advocates vews smlar to those n hs recently-publshed nterestng volume, " Custom and Myth," as aganst the extravagances of the solar theory of Max Mller and hs dscple, Sr George Cox. Undoubtedly the solar theory has been rdden to death by the latter; but t does not follow that there s not a great deal n t. But Mr. Lang's wrtngs cannot be overlooked by any student of ths fascnatng subject. Mr. Frederc Harrson has a lvely paper on "A Pedantc Nusance," the nusance beng the fashon among modern hstorcal wrters of attemptng to go back to the orgnal form of ancent proper names. Mr. Harrson's temper s sorely tred by Mr. Grote's "Korkyra and Kwka," -and Mr. Carlyle's "Kurfrst of K61n," and Mr. Freeman's "Cnut and Aelfthryth and Caltwara-byrg." He thnks we shall soon be nvted to call Moses, Mbsheh, and Jacob, Ya'g6b, and to talk about the Proverbs of Shl6lomon, and Darayavush nstead of Darus. He has certanly got more outlandsh names together than ever were n artcle before. The dscusson of plans of federaton for the wdely-scattered members of the great Brtsh Empre has never ceased snce the publcaton, n 1883, of Prof. Seeley's nterestng lttle book, " The Expanson of England."
