Mr.. Julian HNwtharue thinks it necessary
10 defend the memory of his father from the
charge of impolttnecs brought against him
by sundry gossippins paraSraphie'a, snd, at
the same time, 10 p y his disrespeCts to Mr..
Alcott "As,huniel Hawlhorno,' he writes,
chad healthy aversion to bores; but--as
these who knew him NEED scarcely ha told
no bore WIS ever abe to make hi n forget
his hs5itusl cont sy; Oh TIE contrary no
treated such persons wi h more than ordinary
consideration. It is rue that the presence
Of MIR. Brun-ou Alcutt WIS attHElei with
especial drawbacks for him, and that he
never sought opportunities for converse with
that gentleman; but on :he frequent occa
sions Of Mr.. lcots visits to hi. own house,
bo invariably met him with compnsure
and rtfability which, under tho cjrcum-
stances, were little less than horoic. And
when, in the course Of human events, it be-
came necessary for hin. To accept one If Mr.
Alcotts invitations, be nor himself with an
outward serelity aud ceuislity thst nothing
could dsconce7t" All Of which must be
pleasant reading for Mr.. Alcott.

SPEAKING of the appropriations to be made
by the coming congress, the Philadelphia
Times says; "The estimates of the govern
ment's needs for the ascal year ending with
June, 1882, ard which congress will be re-
quired to act upon at the coming session, are
in nearly every detail in excess of those of
the current year. They are doubtless in.
tended TO cover all chances of deficiency, as
twenty millions or thereabouts were sppro-
priated at the last session to supply dehcien-
cies, considerable of it going 10 sustain the
wonderful extravaganza of the Star route
mail service. The pensions demand goes up
in this estimate eighteen millions above tho
figures for this year and q large increase is
demanded for miscellaneous objects under
the interior department and the department
ofjustice. The last mentioned is very easy
TO account for, as there are many hundred
election officers to be paid out of that fund.
One of the gratifying features accompanying
