Boston, October 30.-Charles Sumner, in
a letter from Paris declining the coalition
nomination for Governor of Massachusetts,
says: 81 acknowledge your communication.
L beg to repeat this declnation, most sim
cerely desiring that no person should vote for
me. Beyond this personal wish, which
trust will not be disregarded, is the consider
alton, if chosen l could not serve. At the
same time 1 express my grateful sense of the
trustreposed in me by the conventions which
united on this nomination. My acknowl-
edgments are especially due to the convention
representing fellow-citizens to whom have
for long time been opposed on important
public questions. l beg them to believe that
am not insensible to their good will, which
is enhanced by the sign it affords that past
differences are absorbed in the common desire
to secure for our country the incompatible
blessing of peace and reconciliation under the
safeguards of good government and with the
principles Of the Declaration of independence

In this same office the writer was employed

sons who lived at that house at that time
could be assembled together now. Itresulted
III a meetlng-at the house of one of their
humber--of eight of the individuals who,
nearly half century before, used to break
bread together, play whist, and have a good
time generally, and it was afterwards discoy-
cred that their number might have been in
creased by three more, if we had known where
to look for them. What will not seem at all
surprising, either, is that they should discover

this meeting the 'Old Fossil Club was or

nual meetings of the club should be held so
long as two members shall be living, aud a
few of their number adopted q private resolu-
ton, that portion of their party would see
the new century GOMEZ in. Indeed, an invita-
ton was given to the club by one Off its mcm-
bcrS, and accepted by the rest, to meet at his
M I
ninth street, for their annual meeting in the
year 1900; and the general health OF two or
three members Of the club, renders in not at
all unlikely that they may have to be present
Mt the meeting.
The members are scattered all around the
country; only two or three now live in the
city. The President of the Club is one of the
city Fathers in a neighbOrin@ State; another
is one of the railway kings in a Western city,
another publisher of this city, and there are
among them several ladies', whose ages, they
themselves affirm, are not at all uncertain.

The idea is quite common among printers
that their occupation is very unhealthy one,
and that as Il class they are shOrt-lived.
The writer is one of those disposed to doubt
the truth of this proposition and to maintain
that there is nothing about the business
itself to render it unhealthy. That q large
proportion of the young printers who have
come to the city from the country have died
early is unqucstionably true, but the causes
of these deaths are to be looked for outside
of the printing office. II man would live
to good old age he must surround himself
with the conditions of health. If he prefer
"a short life and merry one,' rs many
young printers do, the road to it in the city
is easy to find and the course n short one
after the young man finds it. Too much of
wine and women will kill printers rs well as
other men.
One who has been familiar with the print
ing business of the city forty or fifty years
| past will remember the names at least OF
quite a number OF printers, who have lived
to good old age-.journeymen as well as
employers. The writer came to the city in
1875 as "typo," worked several years as

eral years more. He meets quite frequently
nowadays compositors whom he knew in
'27, who must then have been somewhere
about thirty years of age. He remembers
very distinctly Abram Paul, Jonathan Sey

founder of the Home Journal, Daniel Fan

passed away, and still sees the venerabl,

words in defense Of the Literary Clubs Of
Cincinnati, which were criticised so sharply
L,r .ro,,. ..o..oa,,o,,.lonI nn,,.rh

words in defense Of the Literary Clubs o
Cincinnati, which were criticised so sharpl,
by your correspondent, "Depugh."
One of the clubs, which "Depugh call,
the Minervian," but the proper name o
which is the Minerva Club, was particularly
noticed in the musical line.
Well, now, "Depugh himself admits that
he isunable to distinguish between the rattling
of a nail-making machine and the classical
music of the Minerva" for which lack o.
musical taste I truly pity him, but l consider
it the height of presumption for person
who, Iconfessedly, has no musical capacity
to critcise anything in the musical or the
Matchmaking machine line either.
He says that those members who could
produce harmonies upon the piano or other
wise, "cast pearls before swine" He further
confcsses that when the ladies of the club
ceased to feed him, he withdrew FRONT it, His
withdraral is happy circumstance for the
club, since the charge of casting pearls be-
fore swine can no longer be brought against it.
AS long as the Club fed the critics every
thing went along smoothly, and while the
"swine." would be in corner eating, the
appreciative audience were delighted by the
most charming essays, spirited declarations,
instructive debates, readings selected from
the best authors, and read III the most APP
proved style.
The music was enhancing,
And so was the dancing.
But the victuals gave out, and nothing
being left but the pearls, and their ability
being entirely of the gastronomic kind, the
"swinc," after fasting for several evenings,
with vast amount of growing, fled i'll dis
gust.
''Depugh" says our programme includes
Emusic and literature, music and dancing,
music and eating, music and conversation,
music and music, and music and music, !" and
that we vary our exercises occasionally by Il
''little more music"
Since he has withdrawn from the Minerva
Club, advise him. to get up another club,
with programme arranged to suit himself
as thus: Eating and growing, growing and
eating, eating and growing, growing and
Catihs,S StoNihiS anu SloWlilsS, anu ciitllisS
and eating, then, to give variety to the pro-
ccedings, give a prolonged growl when the
grub is exhausted. Let him name it The
Ursiae Glib. An evening spent with that
club will be as delightful as visit to the
menagerie just half an hour before the beasts
are fed.
The Clark Literary Circle, to which he
and few other Disconnected cynics still
cling, is going to pieces, as it should, since
he and his cynical adherents have shut them
selves up in place where their brains are
benumbed by tobacco smoke, and whore
ladies', the refining element of society, are
refused admittance, and where music and all
other asthetical influences are as scarce as
ice is in TOphet.
In conclusion, will say that, after seek
ing long time for satisfactory definition
of critic, l at last have the pleasure of
knowing, by observation of my friend
"Depugh," that critic is creature all
stomach and no brains, and that stomach
Celebrates bile, not blood
