A Boston letter writer has the following CON
corning the new radical club: This club will
hold its meetings in a ball, and will, no doubt,
meet the wants OF a large number of persons.
1t will in no way interfere with the old club, and
is in no wav an antagOniStic Outgrowth. The
parlors of Mr.. Sargent and DR.. Barto, where
these meetings commenced, have always done
their best in hospitabie intent, but, as the old
Scotch woman said, There is nae making
pint pot hold quart" and however generous
the hOspitable intentions of the house OF Sargent
or of Bartol-and there is little question of its
large lmit-there is the actual limit OF actual
space, which serves us like the Scotch woman'S
measure. But there is a charm about this limit
which is by no means the charm of exclusive
ness, but that peculiar charm which the home
gives to the otherwise public gathering 1t is
this homelike feeling which has given the favor
of intimacy to the radical clubs, and which has,
indeed, brought manly persons into intimate
acquaintance by the conversations during the
club sitting and the chii-chat and intfoductons
which always follow. The new hall club must,
Of course, lack this charm, though 1t has its
gain of space.

A funny story of fire is related in the Bos-
ton Herald: The boiler Of grist mill in Wal
than, exploded, and the steam fre-engine
started for the scene of the disaster, drawn by
boys, because no horse was ready. On their
way to the mill il was discovered that the hose
carriage had been left ut home. Six boys were
sent back for it, and then, after going a little
further, the whole establishment stuck in the
mud. just then, a ridey hove in sight, mounted
upon the regular steamer horse. When the ami
mai came up, there was new agony at finding
that the harness Of the beated animal had been
left behind. BY this time the fire was out, and
the steamer was lnglOriOusly returned to its
quarters, not having reached the FIRE at all. 1t
Is pretty clear that a machine at the mercy Of
such demoralized and hap-hazard manage
ment as this, can impart no feeling of security
TO any sensible mind in The thriving little town
OF Waltham. Moreover, we suppose that there
are scores OF small towns in Massachusetts, and
In other states as many, in which no prerara
lions at all for eXtnguishing fires have been
made; IN consequence of which, when the stable
of the honest ycoman is burned, his home
usually goes to Keep it company.
