THE EARLY EDUCATION OF
JOHN STUART MILL

Tho autobiography Of John Stuart Mill
has just been published in London.
From an advance copy, the New York
Tribune of October thirty-frst made
some length extracts. Among them
were some relating 10 the early education
OF Mr.. Mill, which was carried on under
the direct supervision of his father, Mr..
James Mil, himself a man of carefully
cultured mind. Under his tutilsge, his
son began to learn Greek when bu, little
past three years Of age, and until his
e'gh'h year, was taught in no other
prAhch OF education, studying during this
time, Essopis Fables, Herodo,us, Memo-
rails OF Socrates, Dialogues Of Plato, etc
at the age OF eight years, he began Il Q
study OF Latin, and with the exception of
Arithmetic, was made 10 pursue none of
shs studies usually requ,red Of the youp,
student Instead of these his time was
devoted to the study and dipes.
sion of history, biography, etc, the
plan pursued being TO repeat to his father
each morning from notes made by him.
self, the substance of what had been read
the day before, or the success, of this
course, Mr.. Mil says;
I have thought that in an age in which
education and its improvement are tha
subject OF more,if not Of profounder stud
than at any former period of English bi..
tory, 1t may DO useful that there should be
some record Of an education which was
unusual and remarkable, and which
whstsvsr else it might have done, ha.
proved how much more than is commonl,
supposed may be taught, in those early
years, which, In the common modes Of
what 10 called instruction, are little better
than wasted.

Ing the educAtion of tho young, that Of
young Mil may appear singular and
forced, but its results earned for him the
reputation Of being the most thoroughly
sduastsd man Of his time. A study Of

WIN. NJ. TWEED has been convicted an d
'ssntenced to confinement in the county
Jail OF New York twelve years, and To
pay fne Of $l2,750. There can DO no
doubt in any impartial mind that Tweed
was guilty, and bis sentence is not unduly
severe. The sentence lie, it lie true, equiv
alent to sentence to imprisonment for
life, the culprit being over sixty-six years
OF age; but even that fact will no. cause
any eye to be dimmed by tears. He is
down. and it is now in order to kick him.
This fact does not however render II i'm
proper to say that the Judge who presided
OF bis trial was prejudiced against him,
and is evidently not proper man to pre-
side in court of justice. Speaking to
the prisoner he said Through the whole
Of this trial you remained, up to the very
moment of your conviction, as calm and
serene as though you relied upon your in
'nocence, when it was overwhelmingly an.
parent to all that your serenity was only
'audscity and confidence in tho omnipo.
'tence of corruption and here he made
emphasis by bringing his clenched hand
down upon his desk. He acted all through
the trial in this spirit. He bullied Tweed
counsel, threatened them with imprson-
ment for contempt and almost command
cd the jury to convict. But Tweed is
guilty, and who cares how Judge Davis
acted Justice Is satisfied, aud Judge
Davis is happy. And now it is in order
TO deal out to other public thieves justice
from Davis measure.

Shirley Dare in some "reminiscences of a visit
to Old Essex last summer published in The
HOrld has this pleasant reference to the author
OF The Amber Gods: 1t was CAV August day
and cool as summer DAYS are on the coast with
sunshine finding its way through the haze, when
we set out with due ceremony to call on Mrs
Spohord. People do good deal Of calling by
rail up and down from Newburypert to Boston
and back again, thinking no more OF it than we
New Workers do Of going up town in the horse
ears. Ten minutes and we were in Newburv-
port, and under the elms OF the High-street 1t
is the pride of the Port people, who tell Won IL
i, the most beautiful street in the worll: and il
certainly has quaint charm of its own, al
coved from mile to mile with its romantic
dropping trees, that seem to live to hide lovers
walking at sunset along their paths. and the
WIDE white houses standing in and out
big and little in their gardens. or elbowing the
street each IN its own comfortable fashion
They have delightful way of letting their
houses look old in Newburyport, letting the
dust gather and the MOSES start and the vines
hang about them, as if people were too busy
and having too good times inside to care whe
Their the paint was bright out. Mrs. Spofford's
is one of the large, o!d-fashioned houses stand
ing close 10 the street. Its low, wide rooms
looked as if people lived in them, as if much
lounging and singing and leisure were found
there; but flowers and pictures were the only
ornaments. The sitting-rOOm was delightfully."-
like yours or mine or any body ese's, without a
sign of the romantic upholstery by which wo-
men love to advertise their inspiration. Just
like this was the charm of Mrs SpOfford's
manner. i fancy one could talk to her five
hundred miles on mail train and ne yer detect
that she was superior woman. She made no
DelPhic oracles; there was no heroic inver-
siOns in her speech like those of the Boston
women. Her unspoiled speech could only be re-
work. Style she had none, which is the highest
compliment that can be paid any woman She
was like very fine odor that cannot be detec-
in the Flume in New Hampshire-so clear that
il seems white. The author Of amber Gods is
fragile woman, with soft, dark hair worn in a
careless curl or two at the side, and kind sensi-
BILE, dark ewes. 1 think what most pleased in
her conversation was a matter of fact goodness
and good sense. She might have English for
that. She was the wiser of those wonderful
studies Of passion and color which made nv
world when was a student could not help
thinking, as sat in her sofa corner, and vet
with all the imagination and poetry. her mental
presence l would say was the healthiest in the
world.
