DEAR ANGLO There has been some
considerable excitement Of late in Boston
in reference to this African civilization
movement. There seems as yet some d.
yersity Of opinion among the leading
minds, both as to its objects and results.
| conversed freely with many, and they
seemed conscientious as to their peculiar
views. A large and enthusiastic meeting
was held at Joy Street Baptist Church OF
last Monday evening, at which time foui
large volumes were presented to DIR. j. b.
Smith, for his long and faithful services in
the cause of freedom and humanity-and
here let me say that DIR. Rock, who pre-
sented them, did credit both to his head
and heart in the manly and able effort in
behalf Of free speech and equality ofrights
in SO called free government, and the in
dividual right Of every man to think, speak
aud act for himself ] regard him as a
man Of mark. He was followed by j. B.
Smith, expressing bis thanks and gratitude
for their consideration, and spoke with
much earnestness and ability for right
principles and action. Rev. j. Sella Mar
tin succeeded and for few minutes spoke,
much to the pleasure and interest of those
who heard, yet, if / were allowed to criti-
else, must say, the very bitter sarcasms
Of the able gentleman detracted from the
force and power Of his speech.

three speeches to the people Of Boston

They are in advance, in some respects,
ofthe people in many of the States, but be-
hind in others. cannot now enlarge. |

The County street Methodist Sabbath
School picnic, at fremont Grove, on
Wednesday last, was one Of the largest and
most interesting gatherings Of the season.
The estimated number present was from
eight hundred to one thousand, with fair
representation Of our race. Rev. Mr..
Trafton, who is never unmindful of our
rights, and is always willing and ready to
make demonstration in advance of the
conservative movements Of our clergy, in
yited Rev Mr. Mitchell, of the Bethel
Church, to take part in the exercises. Inns
manifestation of respect is worthy OF no
tice, because it is the first case OF the klnd
this season, although nearly every church
has had gathering; but in no other IN
stance has a colored person received this
compliment.
The ladies' Of the Salem Baptist Church,
Rev. Mr.. Jacksons, held festival recently
in their lecture-room, and realized hand
some amount. This church was organized
last June, and has one hundred members.
The honse is beautiful structure, with a
fine toned organ, and capacity to seat
500 persons. 1t was formerly the proper
ty Of the Christian denomination, and cost
them $4,000 1t has central location,
and is near the City Hall. The present
occupants purchased it for 1890. If we
are compelled to have separate churches, it
is certainly commendable when we get
them located in an eligible part Of the city.
Most of the religious societies have agreed
to assist them in Iquidating the debt. Even
the Universalist minister, Rev. Mr.. Twist,
preached for them, and had q special col |
lection taken up for their benefit in his
church. The first payment Of $1,000 was
made before the house was dedicated.

intense interest, and conveying his moral impress

scarcely any escape. The subject is deeply tragic,
and, in his mastery handling, possesses an en-

that we were left to supply the commentary which

FaNpf brpphYp DdWY IWtS
DEAR SIR In your paper Of the 22d
inst, we observe u paragraph to the effect
that Bayard Taylor, the American Gold
smith" has "rcfuscd seven thousand dol
lars year, for the exclusive use Of his
pen in the service of the New York Mer,
cury.'
This is the substance of rumor which
has been going the rounds, which We now
desire to have corrected and We beg leave
to assure you, i'm the most positive man
ner, that Mr.. Bayard Taylor has accepted
our proposal to him; ana Shat we are Just
on the eve Of announcing the first OF the
series of interesting papers from his graph
ic pen.
BY giving the above correction u place
in your valuable journal, you will much
obigc, Yours, respectfully,
CALDWELL, SouTnwoRTn WH!TNEY,
Proprietors New York Mercury.
We must congratulate the New York
Mercury, upon securing the services OF so
great n literary celebrity as Bayard Taylor,
even at such an enormous outlay His
mimitable travel~sketches will introduce
the Mercury into thousands of families,
that have perhaps heretofore been stran-
gers to it. Seven thousand dollars is no
tritle to pay; but the New York, Mercu-
Try, however, approaching as it already
does we learn, to an edition OF n quarter
of million can well afford it, Ire L
cash boz !
The above is one of the modes adopted
by the Blood and Thunder" newspapers
Of the day, of advertising their 'hash'
stories, and they expect the Country Press
to insert all such, either for the promise
of an exchange, which is seldom received
or little plnch-beck jcwelry. We pub
lish them when it suits us; and this on,
would probably have gone into the waste
paper basket along with many others
some day to be honored by being made
into a taper to light one of the "half com
mon" specimens Of the tweed will
which we sometimes regalc ourself in GU
meditative r.oments, if the name of BAY
ARD TAYLOR, had not caught our eye.
the Ncw York Mercury says true, when i
asserts that the distinguished scholar, au
thor and traveller, has accepted its offer t.
write exclusively for its columns, and W
have no doubt it does, then it will posses
contributor that has few equals and n
superiors in the field of literature an,
geographical research. BAYARD TAYLoT
has probably seen more of the surface c
the carth--actually seen and trod upon il
than any other man now living and n
man can describe better what he has seer
If BAYARD TAYLOR, writes for the Mercury
let Bonner look to his laurcls, his facil
pen will leave Everett little chance 70
glory, and Sylvanus Cobb, Jr., will be "n
whar."
