June 27. She performed on the 25th June at a farewell

For memory 1 take —and leave, my heart !"

The Nation has taken a quiet but effective w 35:
of punishing some criticism without knowledge, of which
the Boston Transcript of Juno 1 was guilty, in ascribing
norance to the writer in the Nation who reviewed Proles'
sor Stowe's paper on the "Talmud" in the Atlantic 310(11111;
The Transcript thus comments on the Nation's remarks;
—" The astute critic says, ' Moir, for
in three ways ; it never appears twice alike, and it ne/e,,
example, is spelled;
appears in its correct form.' The critic evidently do
not know that the names are quite different, there
being six, to wit—Mair, Maier, Mayer, Moir, Meyer, geieri
and in every instance Professor Stowe gives the rigi,
name. The critic also accuses the professor of transis
ing, certain German (and Hebrew) letters wrong, whereB9
,
the professor always follows the true German ineue,...
The Springfield Republican picked this up on Juno 3, r
pealing the words of the Transcript. On June 8, I,ssr:

lodged it in thosewords :—" The Nation and Professol
