How Travellers OUGHT TO WRITE-Most
writer's of letters of travel make the great
error of conveying only the objects which
create in them certain sensations or feel
ings, and do not give the sensations them
selves. To say that the dome of St.
Peters is magnificent is something better
than to give US the feet and inches of the
altitude and circumference, but it Is not
enough. To connect it with ones person
ailty, and to express in fitting terms the
feelings Inspired, or 60 narrate the per-
sonal details OF your visit to the dome will
please far greater number of readers. and
will really convey better idea of the Oh
ject than either OF the former modes of de-
scription. Only the practiced eye of the
artist will find beauty in pictured land
scape, be it ever so beautiful, if it is not
humanized by the introduction of q figure
Pot in group and give them something to
do, and every one who looks at the picture
will recognize its beauty. 1t is the same
with the traveller. He must introduce a
figure or group into his word-painting if
he would attract all classes of readers.
Stevens, Bayard Taylor, and Ross Browne
understood this thoroughly, and are in
debted to it for tho success of their VOL
umes. People frequently write letters to
newspapers, describing visits to remarkable
places, which are well enough written as
to grammar and scholarship, and which
technically describe the scenes about which
they are written. Yet 10 their surprise,
they never appear in print. The reason is,
generally, that they are not humanized
they are cold and barren descriptions of
places, and address nothing emotional in
our nature, and the editor, who knows the
public taste, declines to indict them upon
his readers. The gossiping letter of
schoolgirl on her first trip away from home
is better than nine tenths of either news
paper letters or books of travel. Write
from the heart to thesheart, from the senti-
ment to the sentiment, and, allowing the
possession of average intelligence, there is
very little chance of failure.

hundred and fifty thousand dollars are to be
spent in building free baths for the San Fran
ciscans, and one hundred Thousand in estab-
fishing q Home for Old ladies' who have no
means of support. These are the principal
purposes of the trust. though there are nu-
nerons gifts of 900 and $40 900 to various
charities. The family of Mr.. Lick are scan
tily remembered. He gives $4,000 apiece for
gravestones for hose who are gone, and the
same sum or less to those who survive--less
than fifty thousand dollars in all. After
OF his estate goes in equal portions to the
California Academy of Sciences and the So
ciety of California pioneers, to be used in the
erection OF snitsble buildings, and the pur
chase of libraries, scientific collections, appa-
ratus, and other things useful to the advance
inent of science.
The trust embraces every inch of ground
and every cent of money owned by Mr.. Lick.
He places himself on the list of his own bene-
hciaries, in curious manner. He reserves for
himself the use and enjoyment during his life
OF his homestead property at San Jose, in
Santa Clara County, which is to revert after
his death to the two societies last mentioned;
and he further charges that the trustees shall
pay to him "such sums of money as he may
from day to day or from week to week demand
OF them, not, however, exceeding the sum of
Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars in any one
year." 1t is said that it required some per-
suasion to induce him to reserve so large q sum
as TINS Tor his own use. Such in short is
sketch of the most extraordinary public he
quest of our time. 1t differs widely from the
Peabody benefactions in the fact that the CAL
ifornian capitalist has reserved little for
himself, and has left almost nothing for his
relatives. The trust if wisely administered,
may be made the means of great good, but this
it is impossible to forsee No one can help be-
ing little nervous as 10 the disposition to be
made of the S35O00O devoted to monumental
art. The trustees have it in their power to
give the Pacific Coast two of the finest monu-
ments i'll the world, or to cover the name of
James Lick with rdicnle more enduring than
brass

The name Of Max Adeler HIS been growing
familiar to the reading public within q year or
tao, in connection with sketches of a mora
genial and spontaneous hunor than the rather
forced and wire-drawn attempts upon the ris-
icles put ont under that name. This book In A
more continuous effort In the line OF humorous
buriesque, and gives promise that the author
may not unlikely mount to the lead of current
American humorists. For one thing the humor
does not consist of badly spelled words, but Is
conveyed in good English, and with occ asional
'oucbes OF pathos, imagination, and sentiment
.uch as characterize the works OF all the great
humorlsts OF the world. The story tells
how Max Adeler, tired of the hustle of the
ty, moves with his family 20 quaint old town
on the shores of the Delaware. In their search
for quietness they meet a series eff very droll
adventures, and extraordinary accidents, and
form some acqusintanees, whose wonderful
anecdotes are the most grotesque of American
Munchausenisms. There lie also q capital love
story woven into the thread of the hurly- burly
escapsde; and altogether il is lively, readable
book. The illustrations, IL should be added are

The BUTTER AND CHEESE EXCHANGE n
New York has issued its fiat against oleomar-

use Is thst its sale cannot fail to injure the sale
OF the legitimate article in creating distrust In
the public mind. Hence dairymen and dealers
are urged to report to the Exchange all ATTEMPTS

their knowledge, in order to have the perpetra.

THE House. We suspect, will exercise doubtful
economy In declining TO make an allowance for
horses and Carriages for the use Of the Attorney
Generals Office. Judge Hoar, who has &C ca-
pied the Office Of Attorney General, and who
ought to be well acquainted with the needs OF the
position, said in reference to this matter on lat
urdsy that the officer in question had frequent
calls to the Supreme Court, Court Of Claims,
ana eherhere, and had 10 carry books and
papers Often the carriage afforded the only
opportunity TO look at the papers and to read
his official mail. 1t was part of his Office, and
was a. absolutely necessary an Office or fuel.
If the higher sficers Of the Government sbso-
lutely require horses and carriages in the trans
action Of necessary Official business. there is
nothing to prevent them from hiring them and
paying the bills out of the contingent fund.
The expense OF this in some instances would
probably be greater than that of keeping a con-
veysnce at the expense of the Government.
