who has received much kindly notice and
friendly attention, in Boston and elsewhere,
has written to the Boston Transcript lively
account of his experiences at the White Noun
tains, where he had arrived at the close of a
ten weeks journey. They came to the Glen
House, after long walk, weary, hungry, and
thirsty, and waiting for dinner with fond eye
The rest in his own words:
My first inquiry to the porter was, ''What is
your dinner hour, sir 2" and being informed
one, began to fix an ardent gaze upon the
clock and on my own watch. The bell rang
and the ladies and gentlemen, like bees, rushed
out OF their rooms for the dining hall My
good friend, the clergyman, was then in the
for him. He came out and wo directed our
steps to the hall, Sad hour The chief Off
Ger whispered to my brother that he would
not admit me in the house! Of course my
friend felt bad, and appealed to him in the
name of my Boston friends, in the name of
humanity informed him who l was my coun-

friend, "Sir, does he want to put me in sep

ter and drank three tumblers of water as SUBJ
stitutes for the three different heads in the din
ner, viz the vegetables, pastry, and dessert
Upon this, we both came out to the piazza, and
my friend once more asked them the ground
OF such an unchristian act. A pale-looking,
weak, tall man, with an apron round his waist,
heard all that we said, and seeing the passen-

the parlor, and said we might take our dinners
then if we choose. "All aboard p the driver
cried, and we babe farewell to the Glen House
forever. We had time enough to buy our
tickets at Gorham, as the train took us in

to secure four pieces of sponge cake from the
Alpine House, where | had letter of intro

would not write any more of this; simply /
should say that the man who refused admit
lance to me, for my oriental color, ought to
