the Shanghai Mercury concerning our
Minister at Picking. II is well known
that very serious charges were made
against Mr.. Seward, for which he was
called home To render an account of his
s (tleward ship. There were Others
also, employees i'm the consulate at
Shanghai who We're brought home as
witnesses in the case. Thus costing the
government a great deal of money, and
yet we may safely say, that the trial
was mere farce. II is SO generally
believed by Americans i'm China that
Mr.. Seward is guilty of great crimes
that they cannot respect him or defend
him against defamation by Europeans
and Cinnamon. The Chinese Off
cials are proverbially dishonest and
they have much reason for return

idea that we should keep diplomatic

Maxwell's Idea.

The villages in the neighborbood of
Boston present some curious social
aspects. Every morning the railroad
takes almost the entire male population
TO the city. AT night it returns them
again. The village is practically a
SleepiDg-place for people whose every
thought is of the town. Their very
manners and customs are of the city.
and yet in reality the people are only
villagers.
Love is a never-ending theme with
all the story -tellers, and they delight
to tell the tale in every tongue. Hear.
then, a story of love under new and ne
culIar clrcumstances-a tale of mingled
love and social martyrdom, the highest
moral courage, and the most pitiful
Sights and insults.
The village of Weston consists of
one main street, where stand the
churches, the town-hall, post-office, and
sundry feeble-minded stores. There
are noble elms, wide road, and few
pretty houses. The better class of
dwellings, are on the hillside bevond
the railroad, or to the north, on the
meadows! BY day sleepy place; at
night every house is filled with city
people sound asleep.
The people live here, but their hearts
are III the town. Every boy looks for
ward to the time when he shall ioin
the pilgrims to the city and store. To
go into an office or store in Boston is
the only thing for ii young man to do.
He must have business in town or lose
caste.
Tom Maxwell had the misfortune to
be born in Weston, and early imbibed
its peculiar notions concerning life and
the thing to do. For instance. no yo,,no
