kinda Professor from some institution abroad
whose name escapes me. but which IS Yet un-
known in America-comes quietly into the city
t'othcr day with letter Of Introduction from
OF the bearers learning and wisdom, aud q book
or so on some abstruse subject, and straight
way VIC nav expect par1or doors and club doors
over which Young Boston has control to swing
wide for his entering.
But, to leave t: Z candidate aud his learning.
let me say word of clubs. First, as one Of the
oldest, OF the Radical Club, which Mr. Joseph
Cook two weeks ago pronounced dead with that
unctuous emphasis wnch takes the place OF
truth with him on most occasions
IN 4 WEEK OK TEN DAYS THIS CLUB,
whose obituary has been 50 elnphaticaly de-
livercd, will open its winter session in the same
OLD parlors where for SO many years it has held
its meetings. Already an arrangement is
have made the fame of the Club, but several
new lights. Col. Hgginson, who, since the
death OF his wife, has broken up his ho1ncin New
port to reside with sister III Cambridge, will
now, as in the earlier days Of the Club, be con-
stant attendant,-a fact which members and Wis
itors who have had occasion to hear how he
brought the lively skitnlshing spirit to bear
upon the heavy artillery when it got grounded
upon the rocks Of radical dissent, will be glad to
know. There is also another club in the prog
rcss OF agitation. IL not BY this time in forlna-
tion, OF very different nature from the Radical
Club, though it is to convene in the Chestnut
Street Parlors This Is to be All art club, which
will cmbrare not only what Is ordinarily accept
ed under that title, but literature US we'll. Out
of this we shall get talks about painting and
sculpture, poetic rccitations, and dramatic rep
rcsentatious,-a wide field enough, it would
seem, to cover all needs. And, many as are the
art and literary clubs in Boston, this new one,
under the broad supervision which at present is
indicated, will meet really great watlt. For
the others are confined to set,-a small circle,
and to visit thems one must either trust to
the accident OF acquaintance with Z
Inc % new club vii | be open to ali visiting saran-
gers of either sex who belong to the guild Of art
or letters, though it will have its organized con-
stiturion and regular membership OF limited
number, with yearly fee to sustain it. This
ties, receptions, etc, which this year will be
given up on account of the death Of atr. Sar-
gent. Spcakin. Of rccitations brings up
BosToS's LITTLE GENIUS
in that line-A1iss Georoia Cayvan. The TI1B-
USE aud its readers will be interested to know
that she is making great lit with tllat little
TRIBUNE gem which appeared lew weeks ago,
.suow Old is Bridgetl' She informed me the
other day that it was OF l!cr best selections.
Miss Cayyan, with great natural advantages
both OF voice, dramatic ability and personal
at the school Of orators, the re-
suit Of which is to make her
not only one Of the most popular
of the young readers OF the day, but one whose
promise eau be Clearly foreseeu o: something
great. OF course the usual prophecies are ma,le
by her admirers that she only neeus to take the
stage to succeed as an uctTesS. And III her case
it would seem as il this was not So unsafe or
premature q prophecy as it is III some cases, for
In dramatic ability she has great deal Of orig
inal force, and her voice is something rather
n,arkablc. At twenty,
WITH FINE HEALTH, AND THE ADVANTAGES 1
HAVE MENTIONED, HER CAREER
upon the platform or the stage ought to be ex-
ceptional. Perhaps it is noe generally known
that Il very popular young actress Of tho mod
ern. drama, Miss Sara Jewctt, is also Buston
girl. Her home is III Cambridge, aud her eiu-
cation is sail to be not unworthy ol that classic
town. Every NOW and then one meets L young
gentleman or q young lady WHO, when l. The
Danichetf5 u are spoken OF, will say:
SWIM, I knew Sara Jewett-usel to
go to school with hcr--charlniug girl al
wa}s.n Which reminds ME Of the funny
way people have Of speaking of any celef'-
ritz, as if the common facts Of life we're q
little out of their line, aud to record them would
be to prove that they were ordinary pcoole. As
for instance, heard once an old resident Ut
Aues6ury say Of Whittier IN certain tune
that seemed almost disparaging: s. Whittier!

But no dfsparaging note creeps into the conf
mon facts OF pretty Miss Jeweti's ncig!lborhood-
She clartns not only as an actress, but as ur!-
