DEAR SIR-To many persons In this community it
seems highly desirable that some fitting notice
should be taken OF the approaching centennial ami.
versary OF the birth OF Alexander Won Humboldt
The Boston Society OF Natural History at their Ia
regular meeting gave emphatic expression OF their
purpose TO celebrate the day by public meeting
provided they could secure the right person To give
the address. All instantly agreed that the right
person was Professor Agassiz In regard 10 tina
there was, and could be, no difference OF opinion.
II upon the occasion contemplated ne would give
the address the day would be rendered ,doubly
memorable II not, all were OF opinion that it would
be useless TO attempt the celebration.
Thus, dear Sir, not only does every mind turn In
stinctvey to you as the person providsntialy oualI
Ned 10 speak upon the occasion-qualined as no
other person possibly can be-but Mess you shoud
favor them they will feel obliged to abandon ali
thought OF the celebration ITSELF such an unhappy
result however, they cannot for moment entei-
tain. Remembering that your eary NE was per.

words and deeds having given fresh Impulse TO your

During the session of the senate on the 18th Of
June debate took place In consequence of On oppo
sition attack on the Cabinet in the progress which
Senior Naouco said he believed monarchy the best
form Of government for 30 immense a country, but
it was necessary that this monarchy the only one in
America, and surrounded by republics, should have
no reason to envy their state OF liberty. Forms of
government are accidental. In the modern world
there are TIVE types Of government England as q
monarchy, the United States as republic; but, not.
witllstanding the great difference Of their instltu-
tons, neither had to envy the liberty of the
other. Constitutional monarchy had to take
England and Belgium for its tyye, not the
unhappy mOnarc6ies Of SPAN or France always
repressve and therefore always threatened with con-
spracies, TO solve the questions OF the present no

sunless TO end those pernicious laws which ensave
the Brazilian people. He then proceeded to point
out the evils OF personal government which, assum.

bllity, and was made responsible personally by an
aggrleved people. Then, reviewing the pOlltical
situation caused by the changes OF July II. he re-
piled to Senior Sayao Lobat0 that the reason why the
liberal ministries had not effected their liberal pro-
grammes was that the conservative strength In the
Senate paralyzed their efforts and made them hope
less. The liberals sought reforms but the conserva
tives sought immobility, and 1t was such immOblty
