"The recently reported conduct of the
British government on the Pacific coast
justifes these conclusions. Nothing of
which we are advised, insthe acts or in

doubtful policy Under, liberal regula-.

What shall / say of Mount Auburn,
more worthy of being called Goods Acre
than any other burial place, / have ever
seen. 1t would be useless for me to at
tempt, giving you a description of its
beauty and ofhundreds of splendid mon
'uments &c. which it contains. One
must see it personally, to know anything
of it. 1t contains 1863 acres, and was
consecrated to its present use on the
18th Of September 1881, by solemn and
appropriate services.
The Cemetery gates are open from
sunrise to sunset, every day, excepting
Sundays and holidays, for the free adj
mission of the public on foot. No one
but a proprietor, or person bearing a
ticket of admission, is allowed to enter
the enclosere with a vehicle. Before
the visitor enters the Cemetery, the
gateway will naturally attract his atten-
ton. This gateway was built of solid
Quincy granite; the design was taken
from the entrance to an Egyptian tenn
pie. 1t bears the following inscription
"Then shall the dust return to the
earth as it was and the spirit shall re-
turn, unto God who gave it. EccLEs
XII, Z.
The Chapel, inside the Cemetry is
built Of granite, and of Gothic design
1t was erected for the purpose of afford
ing suitable place for funeral services
and for the reception ofstatues and other
pieces of delicate sculpture unfit to bear
exposure to the air. There are at pres
cut two statues Of marble in the build
ing, one of Chief Justice Joseph Story,
first President Of the Proprietors OF
Mount Auburn, executed by his son, and
the other of John Winthrop, first Gov
ernor of Mass. executed by Richard
Greenough. Both of these statues are
in sitting posture and are exquisite
specimens of art, one almost fancying
they will speak to him, while looking at
them. ~. s.
OF course no stranger visiting Boston
for the purpose of sightseeing will fail
to visit this, the most interesting of all
objects Of interest in the vicinity, and if
as was, the good fortune ofyour cores
pendent, he should have the good luck
to be accompanied by a young and
handsome female friend, acquainted with
the most interesting portion of the Gem
etry, he will enjoy it all the more-for
it is an enjoyment, though rather sad
one, to visit beautiful burying place.
In closing let me say a word or two
in faver of one of the best IF the many
hotels of this city refer to the Adams
House, than which no better can be
found, if the traveller desires to feel at
home, and who does not? With such
clerks as John Wilson and III. A. Ham,
to attend to its patrons, it cannot fail to
do what it is doing, first rate business.
Prices reasonable, lower than almost
any other first rate house in the city,
good rooms,in short everything to make
its guests comfortable and contented.
Yours truly, S. r. p.

Progress of the Hoosac Tunnel.

IA correspondent writes to the Boston
Traveller =: -.,r r.,.He e.
3s'The work on the Hoosac Tunnel is
done by common drills, and the progress
is about twenty feet per week. At the
eastern end eighty men are employed in
three parties, laboring alternately, so
that the work goes on day and NIGHT
without interruption. The entire prog
ress OF the eastern end is about DOC
feet; at. the western, not more than two
or three hundred. Here also, at pres
ent, the working force is not more than
SIXTY men. Fart of the workmen drill
the heading, SO called, being two hun.
dred feet or more in. advance; another
portion, coming after, drill out the re-
malnder of the bore, Of the size and
shape ultimatel y to be carried through.
A wooden railway is laid within, by
which the chips are carried out on car
| by mule-power. With these chips as
they are dumped, it is calculated to build
a substantial dam across the Deerfeld
River, creatingia water-power of great
value, just outside of the mouth of, the
tunnel. A second mule is employed in
pumping into the bore a supply Of fresh
air for the use of the workmen. zig
"Ihe Quantity ofwater dropping from
the roof, shy no means SO profuse as
one might anticipate. Only a gentle
stream flows out beside the track. The
visitor needs umbrella and india rub
bers, but is notseriously annoyed by the
water. The ubiquitous Hibernians are,
OF course the principal ,laborers !; and
their shanties, babies and pigs make the
adjacency of the mountain sufficiently
lively. A person standingssnear the en-
trance OF the tunnel hears the reyerber-
atlons Of blast, precisely like the sol
emn blast of thunder. 1l 't I9.

eral Court ordered, that, in his honor, it
should be called Harvard College
From that day to this, the College has
been carried on successfully, constantly
increasing in reputation throughout the
country and the world, until now, it is
the best endowed of all our colleges, and
with regard to library, professorsbips,
and otherliterary advantages in general,
1t is the first institution of it's kind on
this Continent. In later years, Cam
bridge has become noted as containing
the entrance to Mt Auburn, which is
situated partly in Cambridge, and partly
IN the adjoining town Of WATERFOWL.
The first printing press in America was
established in Cambridge in 1889, by
Stephen Day, and the first work printed
thereon, was "The Freeman's Oath"
Among the principal buildings of inter
est in Cambridge, next to the college
buildings, are the City Hall, Inman
House, Apthorp's Palace, Brattle House,
Reidesel House, &c. 3 There are also
many beautiful private residences, the
most interesting of which, to a stranger,
perhaps, is the residence of the poet,
Longfellow. This building is supposed
to have been erected by Colonel John
Vassal, who died in l747. 1t fell by de-
scent to his son John, who was noted
royalist. 1t then became the head-quar-
tiers of General Washington, during the
siege of Boston. Mr.. Longfellow, on
several occasions in his poems, refers to
the associations connected with this
