Mr.. r. $. Perry, in the opening article OF tbs
number treats Of German Influence in Easlish Liter
aturc showing that unt about the year s25 the nhu
ence Of German literature was Of iragmen1iy character
depending ON tie casual experience Of individuals rather
than on any regular and profound studies by English
scholars There was no strong intellectual current set
ting from Germany to England which demanded me a.
tenon of every one who wished to gain an exact knoW
edge Of European literature. Mr. Carlyle was tie
first 20 suggest the value OF German literature
to the English public In the general Ignorance about the
Germans which prevailed in England Carlyle set hiiE-
self at work 10 furnish his eomtTymen with exact
information on the subject. Carlyie's influence was
great and sauiary. lie TO have formed precisely
the opinion Of German literature which It's most ncil-
gent admirers desired TO have expressed No enc deserves
more cre-t for the present degree Of Inlhallly WIN
Goethe and the consequent admiration OF his writing,
than Carlyle. His enthusiasm brought over many read
ers to the study Of German literature and only since
the time OF his advocacy that has been known to Eug
lish-speaking foreigners. MI Perry's article Is
not only an agreeable piece Of composition, but
is founded discriminating study aud consc-
anent knowledge. "1he shadow oil Dckens's Life"
by Mr. l. r. Nhilple defends the character o the great
novelist against tn, asperous that were circulated by
a portion OF tic English press at the time Of tie an
nouncement OF Lis domestic troubles The separation he
tween him and his wife, says Mr. Whpple. was the re
suit Of mutual agreement, and no evidence has ever
been brought forward that there was anything in the
part Of eitler husband wife The whole thing was a
wreched episode IN the life OF Dickens but il was an
alteration Of character and notan example OF its normal
and healthy exercise. "1be Contributors Club

friends of Mr.. Friend NJ. and Mrs. Clara
Austin were invited to celebrate the fllieth
anniversary of their wedding day, by per-
sonal visits, presents, etc, on Thursday,
the 25.h, Although it was very rainy and
the roads bad, between eighty and ninety
persons were present to congratulate them
on the usual occurrence, on their united
and happy life, and on the eXemplfication
to their children and the rest of mankind
of the possibility Of living thus long with
out discord.
Although most Of their neigebors and
townspeople living at the time their vows
were solemnized have passed away, their
seven children all remain to them; five
live in the Immediate vicinity, one in
Randolph and one in Calais. The presents
though not large wero quite numerous and
varied and were presented by Moody
Bemis, ESD, who was responded to, and
PRAYER was offered by the Rev. G. E,
Forbes. The time was so very enjoyable
that more than eight 10 seven are inclined
to properly notice all like occasions. The
dark hours of the night Witnessed the de-
parturo of their wellwishers.

Golden Wedding,

In Chelsea on Tuesday, Oct 10TH, 1917,
Major Ira Day Richardson and his good
wife celebrated the filtirth anniversary Of
their weddcd'lire. Few have lived SO long
and happily together. Some of their
brothers and sisters, among whom were
Capt. D. Nj. Richardson Of Nershire, and
VIM. Richardson ESD, from Ohio, and all
their children, six in number, all heads
Of families, were present The children
are as follows: James p Richardson Of
Medford, Mass, DR., Haynes l., Richard
son of New York City, and George w.
Richardson of Chelsea. Mrs. Luthcr of
Corinth, Mrs. Tracy and Mrs. Bradbury
of Chelsea. The wives Of all the sons
were present and The husband Of Mrs.
Tracy, the Other two daughters being
widows. Besides these there were quite
number Of grandchildren and other rela-
tives US well us many friends and acquain-
tances from this and adjoining towns. The
house was we'll filled and had ii been II
pleasant day instead of II cold and stormy
one the walls of the old homestead would
hardly have been ample enough to con-
tain all that would have been present.
Several hours were passed in social con-
verse and kind greetings, when all gather
ed round the long table and did ample
justice to the tempting viands spread
thereon, am ing which were oysters,
soups, pies and the bouncing wedding
cake" After which l.. e. IInckley in
behalf of those present in Il short and APP
propriale speech formally presented the
many gifts to the aged couple, which WAS
responded TO by Major Richardson in be-
half of himself and wife in very feeling
manner returning their sincere thanks and
grateful acknowledgements. Capt. d.
NJ. Richardson also made some pertinent
remarks. The presents consisted of over
eighty dollars in money, good SHIRE be.
ing in gold besides many other articles of
substantial value. The company then
spent an hour in singing when prayer
was offered by Mr.. Alden Tracy and the
party separated having had Il very enjoy
able time, and all wishing as they went
that Major Richardson and his wife may
enjoy each Others company and the society
of friends many more years on earth, and
that their last days may be their best days,
And so says one who was
THERE.

The Liberian emigration fever seems to
rage with unabated fury in South Carroll
ma, while also breaking out elsewhere in
the Gulf stntes, notably in North Carolina
and Louisiana. In South Carolina over
$4,000 has been raised, ship that will
carry seven hundred engaged, and the
first colony is expected to get off on it
during the present month.
1t is generally suspected ut Washington
that Mr.. Randall is pretty far gone with
the presidential fever. His friends give
color to this belief by remarking that the
proper ticket for 1880 is Randall and
Hampton. That is stealing some of Mr..
Hendricks thunder, for he has made the
South Carolina governor the tail of his kite
already.-Trjbatee.
Under recent order of the postmaster
general, no person will hereafter he allow
ed to ride in Il mail car without a pass
from the general superintendent of the
postal service. This order shuts out all
railroad employees, postmasters, post Off

clerks on the line Of the road on which the
Car runs. In case person rides in tic
Cur with pass, the clerks in charge oil
the car are obliged to report the fact to the
government.
Dr.. Gardner, the old head master of the
Boston Latin School, was exceedingly
proud of his economy in matters of dress,
and often lectured his pupils on extrava.

tered lis classroom, which was filled with
boys just arrived at their teens, and strok.

and surveying its general effect, said
gravely: Dye see this coat? How many

The HuWbeye tells of Il young man in
Illinois who went into BARRIERS shop the

tonsorial artist submerged his customers

went to the window, sat down and began

tient man in the big chair, why amt you

A district of one hundred miles square
in Ohio, including the counties of Athens,
Perry, and Hooking, is the future coal
field of this nation. 1t is to be the black
country "of the United States, as the noted
district in Staffordshire is the " black coun-
try" of Great Britain. This district has
TWENTY-FIVE feet of solid coal in FIVE seams,
The great vein is in places twelve feet
thick, and nowhere less than six feet
Mingled among the coal beds are mex
haustible beds of iron. The thickest is
five feet deep at the outcrop; the thinnest
in places, sinks TO six inches There is
no regularity in the thickest Of either
seam. The coal, ON the contrary, may be
said to ruu from bill to hill With perfect
uniformity. Limestone 10 also present in
enormous quantities.
