Times is shocked at the tender scenes continually
witnessed by visitors to Mr.. Palmer's statue of
"The White Captive" and complains that such
works of art only serve to heghten the grand pas

BALTIMORE COUNTY, Dec. 81, 1859.
MESSRs. EDToRS:-l was somewhat startled about

reports in every direction about my house, rang

exactly how explosions are produced by this cause,

described the salient points Of naval architecture
to be safety capacity, and speed and proceeded to
demonstrate how these were best to be obtained
Eckford, Steers, Fulton, and other ship. builders
had discriminating praise bestowed on them. The
application of steam, as the motive power of ships
brought into review the history of steamships,
from the first crossing the ocean by the Savannah
in 1919, though the full consideration of this part
of the subject reserved by the lecturer for
another opportunity. The Great Eastern was de-
clared a failure, and prediction was made that
America would yet build larger vessels than that
leviatban, and without her faults.
The Richmond Enquirer's statement relative to
an intended withdrawal of one hundred and fifty
southern medical students from this city is believed
to be incorrect. The Southern students at the Uni
versity Medical College, who number probably
twice as many as those at any other college in the
city have resolved, with but very few exceptions,
TO continue their course. Their action will un-
doubtedy be followed by the Southerners in all our
medical colleges, in one of which, so far as we
ascertain, has any Southern stampede ever been
contemplated Journaf Of Commerce.

Theodore Parker was born in Lexington, Mass

son of soldier of the Revolution. He received
classical education, graduated at the theolo:i.
cal school Of Cambridge in 1898, and was af.
forwards settled as Unitarian minister a; Rox.
bury. For series of years be was a copious
contributor to the Dial and Christian Exam
liner, and his articles, chiefly on theological sub.
jects, were published in a collected form in si3.
Previously to that, in ls4l, he startled the
religious world by the publication of volume
entitled "A Discourse On Matters Relating 10
Religion" in which his departure from church
authority was strongly marked. A sermon
preached in Nay, l.4l, "On Transient and
Permanent Christianity" had been vigorously
opposed By the Christian Examiner, which
reviewed severely his more elaborate treatise.
Mr.. Parker, though Claiming that his views we're
the logical consequence. of their theories and
doctrines, was os,racised By the Unitarian socie-
ties Of Boston, and organized an independent
society, which met in the MeIodeon The place

In almost every locality Of the vast region
from which the materials of this book have been

turb the reveries OF stargazers in the streets of
our go.ahead towns and ci,ies-these are repre-
sented here in full, and the best that they have
written is offered to Us, who "have not time to

present poetcal literature, are gathered from the
four winds Of the newspapers and magazines, and

they will turn hereafter with more tenderness
than prize. The work has been done in chrome
logical order, and as biographical and critical
sketch accompanies the selection from each wri.

western poetical literature.
