There is great question about cultivation no, Of veg
etables and lower animals merely but ofthe human ksd
Itself between despotic and free countries II cannot
be decided from surface observations on either side
You do not learn the character of nation b. passing
over its railroads and stopping a. the crack hotels Of ts
large cities That is. you must not Judge by the spe
mems of the human Mind you may TAIL 10 With on such
massage you may infer from the railroads and the
ho,sIs themselves We must learn shat people
very uch from What they do, snd before Ne can gen
ersize shout them 10 much purpose We mus ooA INTO
their dOings their by-wsys as Seh as ngn-NHs IN

Keeps the rude and the crude lnnern"s1 ~nhe hoery

The ssturnala of our liberties the Fourth Of July
affords good opportunity for study ing the cultivation
question used the last, positively and negatively snd
am happy in believing that Boston population has
made great advance on ten Years ago. NtNctthVes-

practice feuppover interrupted only tor an hour before

The cheap exhibition OF snarlng snapPlshness and devil

the cunning Chinese sometimes burn BLOCK or up
set carriage and break neck but is nevertheless un
doubtedly great safety valve IL lets on great deal
of dangerous steam from a small portion OF our small
and thin boilers SAY small portion Tor lncessah' anu

have been acquainted with Boston from b0yhood and
constant resident in II for the last fourteen years IN or
cumstanccs most favorable 10 personal acquaintance
with It's masses Vet for than an hour on the aer-
noon of the Fourth passed through ami through inc
crowds assembled the Common without seeing a SIN
gle face that recOlec'ed ever 10 nave seen oetote-
This proves TO my mind that proper Boston people,
mean the masses prefer 10 keep Iheir independence
either within their own doors or In the rural districts
The food that fills our Common. and all our man ana
beast shows poured in from the surrounding country
The procession of the City Fathers AMI ates iororn IN
yitees IA the civic dinner at Faneu Hall displays itself
to strangers
The crowd for the country at the various railroad sts-
tons ON the Morning of the Fourth is absolutely tire
mendous though the more prudent have taken the pre-
caution TO depart the DAY before 1t Is IN tue hne coun
try towns ten twenty forty or hundred niles on tnae
Boston now chiefly celebrates its Fourth ms Is not
simply on account of the greater ease OF lccomoon-
which may be- doubted for that day 10 the year-out be-
cause the popular taste sets away from brute noise and
gaseous rhetoric Celebrations IN which the social ee
ments are mainly excted-in which men, women ana
children participate, and purposes oil social reform arc
aetated-are greatly on the increase. Such ceieora-
tons aided and envened by the partcpators from tho
city have GOOD influence the country towns; aud
in return the country population visiting tue Guy noe
unyholesome The substitution OF pubic ice-water
booths AZ each bydrant the Common tor the rum
bootbs that used 10 surround IT, is liked aud very salu
ary fact am sure that in all the places OF most pup
lie resort during late celebration there coum not
be seen one intoxicated person where one "ouid nave
encountered twenty ten years ago In my utoan anu
suburban peregrbaOns during the day, saw out four
papabe cases Il ia very true did not visit the local
tiles where most were t. be expected ! only say
vent where upon scores would have peeh seen IN
I-4O Whatever NAV be- the manners and haots o' gu,
free masses, compared with those oil o'her c"l1s a1u
counties they are positively improving, and are areay
suc as To leave city authorities without excuse Tor
mnisterng the remaining brutality by dogged rsiu-
! sal to enforce the anti-grog law.
Speaking Of cultivation, in its personal human aspect
is il not queer thing in this Tree country tDat thoro
should be SO little play for taste individuality aud origin
alvl There is a certain bon h0mmie or wellbredness,
which should be- universal for the good reason that t 10
! more convenient and comfortable to every body uood
nature and natural barty should be the universal lash
ion but in matters Of motion and dress "hat BUSINESS
has an arbitrary fiat Of uniformity 20 take the place oil
taste reason and convenience And whence 1oeS tnas
