The valuable and interesting memoir Of JohA
Lothrop Motley Boston: Houghton & Osgood;
Portland: Loring, Short s. Harmon,)is is az
pared ct the request of the Massachusetts, His
toricAl Society. 1t 10 easy to understand that
this memoir ls written in . charming asd sssy
style, and is . generous aud Discriminating
portrait of the historian. As . youth, he wss
singularly elegant, brillixnt and popular. Al
Mr.. Cogswell's school at Round Hill, he had
high reputation as declaimer. In college he
was second to third in his class, though so care
less and devoid of ambition that he was rusti-
Gated, and returned from his temporary exile,
sobered and ready for work, but conviHssd Of
the vanity Of class rank. for which he strove
no longer His native elegance was such that.
says DR.. Holmes. "if he had slipped his clothes
on at an alarm of fire, his costume would Aavs
looked like Princes andrsss. His natural
presentmsnt like that of Count D. Orsay,
was of the kind which suggests the insntional
effects Of an elaborate toilet no matter how
little care or thought may have been given 10
make it effective. think the passion for drsm
was really only seeming, and that he oftsn
excited admiration when he had not taken
half the pains to adorn himself that many Q
youth less favored by nature has wasted upoa
his unblsst exterior only to bs laughed At"
During his college coarse. Motley wrote 30 nns
an essay on Goethe that Mr.. Oogswsn sent 10
| 70 Madame Goethe, who said Of IL, L wish to see
| the frst book that young man will WRITE" After
| his college life was at an end, he devoted two
| years to study in Germany. Among his inti-
mate friends of this period, was Bismarck.
| Mr.. Motley then returned to America, aud
| practiced law in Boston. His first novel, writ
l ten at this time, called Mortons Hope, 10 an
| interesting herald of his career, but Is chaotic
J and immature to surprising degree. His
| reading was enormous, and eomically niscel-
| laneous. His young ambition seemed to ssiss
upon all knowledge As its province, and blazed
it way and staked out It's claim over ell sorts Of
ground, worthless or rich as might happen.
| Dr. Holmes representation of this period Of
Motley's life is exceedingly keensiahted out
sympathetic. In 1Si1 Mr.. Motley was attached
to the Russian Legation. Soon he retrieved
his young literary follies BY some able essays,
notably an article on Peter the Great; and two
papers on widely remote topics: Balzac, an
the Polity Of the Puritans. In 1s&9 Mr. Mot

Ir has come ct last, the long-expscted.
The Boston Globe has found out that 10 the
Democratic party belongs the credit Of bring
ing about theresumption of specie payments.
That is too bad after oil the trouble we Re-
putlicans have taken to prevent the news
from leaking out. It Is cruel In tho Globe to
make the exposure. Isn't 1t enough that the
Democrats saved the Union and abolished
slavery, and secured the constitutional
amendments, without their pointing with
pride to resumption, too?

Mr. Hewitt's Complaint.

Mr.. Hewitt's charge that Secretary Shsr-
man has showed favoritism toward the First
National Bank Of New York, in allowing the
Bank to draw double interest on government
securities in its possession, though satisfacto-
rily answered and disproved by the Secretary
still cauaes considerable comment. Some
newspapers that have rushed to the defence
OF the Secretary have seen At to call Mr..
Hewitt hard names. That 10 entirely uA-
necessary. Mr.. Hewitt Il . gentleman of
usually broad views and honest and patriotic
purpose. he is not seeking to smbarrass the
Treasury in its march to resumption, though
as member Of the oppesltion 1t IL his part 10
make points whenever he can against the Ad-
ministration, to invent grievances when none
exist and to magnify those that do have an
existence. In this case he Is evidently mis-
taken. The charge Of faveritism cannot BE-
sustained, and the real cause he has of COM
plaint is against the law, not against the
manner Of Its execution.
The facts are the sale of $4,000, 900 Of
bonds for resumption purposes was made to
the syndicate because that combination Of
fered the most favorable terms and satisfac-
tory guarantees; the syndicate, finding II
necessary under the law to have national
bank as the medium Of payment, selected the
First National; and the Secretary accepted
that bank Is he would any other; the bonds
were only delivered on full payment and the
certificate Of the bank only received when
secured by deposit; the terms of the con
tract were fully carried out; as the sales BY
the First National were larger than other
sales the amounts on deposit were serre-
spondingly large.
As for the matter of 'double INTEREST," that
is necessary incident Of refunding. 4 sub
scriber to the per cent. loan begins to draw
interest from the moment Of subscription,
and that in ninety days amounts to per
cent. In the mean time call is Issued for
the surrender of per cents. at 90 days, the
time dxed by law. Then the interest on the
6per cents. ceases. So during the ninety
days double interest is drawn. The govern.
ment in that time pays per cent. on per
cents. and II per cent on the per cents.
1t is not easy to see how this can be avoided
as by law the holder Of the 6 per cents. has
right to the ninety days notice. By the ex-
change OF 6 per cents. for per cents. the
Government pays double interest for three
- A-si40, t1ao, pus cent. per
annum as long as the bonded debt exists.
Mr.. Hewitt seems to think that the double
payment can be dispensed with, and wants
the matter investigated by = Congressional
committee. He will doubtless have in this
the hearty cooperation of the Treasury De-
partment, for Secretary Sherman urged In
his latest report change in the law so a. to
allow him to call ponds and stop interest in
a shorter time than ninety days.

THE Bangor Commercial says very many
towns OF Maine have so much school money
that "they are obliged actually to squandsr
it." And yet, As = correspondent of the
Kenebec journal pointed out GONE time
since, Maine stands thirtieth from ths top In
the pay Of men teachers, and lowest Of all In
the pay OF women teachers. Four dollars and
ninety cents per month lower than any
State or any Territory, aud eight dollars and
ninety-six cents per month lower than Choc-
laws pay their teachers. Twenty five States
and Territories pay more per scholar for edu.
cation than Maine, and five less. That dosl
not look like lavishness or prodigality. The

heart. As for chewing-but as there is a
wicked prejudice against chewing we will
pass that form of enjoyment. Snuff-taking
Yorick is not addicted to, and 50 regards it
as reprehensible,
smoke bad cigars or ugly pipes, or toy with
cigarettes-as they will feed on husks when
the kernels are wanting or eat SPOILED din
ners." But usually there is no excuse for
the man who does these things. He wastes
or misuses his time. "Never kiss the maid
when you can kiss the mistress" If he can
not afford to smoke good cigars let him use a
poor (poor in the property sense) but honest
pipe. And if he smokes a pipe it is just as
convenient and cheap for him to use one OF
graceful form or fair appearance-unless he
get pipe that is extraordinarily or uniquely
hideous; in that case it will be Of distinguished
aspect, like Wilkes and Mirabeau and the
Princess Metternich. Generally 1t is easy
enough to get pipe of good design. The
common clay is usually we'll fashioned. 1t is
in the pretentious pipes that bad taste Is
displayed. Meerschaum is sometimes worked
up into ugly forms, and frequently into In
appropriate ones. Why should anyone pur-
chase the carved head and bust of woman
that after six months smoking will be as
black as Senegambia negress? Who really
wants Sleeping Beauty apparently done in
charcoalp And who can take any pride OF
much comfort in the trivial designs put upon
us by the dealers? "a pipe is pipe, any

quaint or odd ones, to be found. One maI
