Mr. John Fiske delivered private lecture
before the Payson Literary Society last even
ing upon the Evolution Of Language" at their
hall in Harrington Block. The room was
filled with friends of the society and the au-
dience cultured and critical was thoroughly
pleased with the speaker. Mr.. Fiske's authori-
tative utterances on philology have weight
among scholars at home and abroad and he
made this rather dry subject very entertain
ing. The theory of the lecturer was that Ian
guage is of multiple origin and that the pros
ent Babel of tongues is focusing gradually loa
common channel of speech. From myriads of
wa:,iIo, nomadic tribes speaking different
dialects the tendency is to one great channel
of articulate mode of communication-the
peaceful commercial tongue of the entire pop
ulation of the globe. That language will be
the Anglo-Saxon, which the speaker predict
ed would be used by a thousand millions of
people before the end of the next century.
This opinion was advance fifty years ago by
Jacob Grimm, the celebrated philologist.
The Payson Literary Society is composed
entirely of young men, the representatives of
some of our best families. The society is now
in the eighth year of its existence and in a
prosperous condition Meetings are held
weekly for discussion, philosophical essays,
ETC., and much original and earnest work ac-
oomplished. 1t has been carrying out its
legitimate aims in a quiet way, as only such
and affords such an opportunity for literary
development as many young men need. They
propose to give course of public lectures later
in the season.

A Massachusetts View of the Steal.

A counsellor of law of Boston writes friend
in Maine in relation to the situation of affairs
in this state as follows:
"Your estimate is high enough. Gov Gar
celon and his Council have descended, at least.
one step lower than the Louisiana Returning
Board were accused of going.
l don't see how it is possible for the Republi-
cans to submit to the consummation of such
despicable trickery, dishonesty and lawless-
ness.
am hoping, however, almost against hope
that there may be a peaceful solution of the
difficulties into which Democratic and Green
back fraud and stupidity have plunged the
good old Pine Tree State.
If the Republicans are only wise and dis
Greet and adhere only to legal and constitu-
tional ways and means for regaining their
rights, whether they win or lose, the verdict of
the people at the polls in September L feel
sure will right so far is possible this terrible
wrong"

The Poor Ye Have Always With You

The Poor Ye Have Always With You.
Never in our city was this aphorism more
forcibly impressed upon those whose duty it is
to look after the needy than at present But
why such a distinction? Is it the special duty
of a certain class to attend to the calls of the
poor? Is it not the duty Of all who are not
overburdened with cares?
There are children in our community who
sometimes have to go to bed hungry, while
with the great mass of our citizens there is
bread enough and to spare. There are many
within our borders whose thin and scanty
clothing is wofully insufficient to protect them
from the bitter gales, snow and sleet OF winter.
During the recent severe weather not few
such suffered severely, and yet there are
doubtless scores of gowns, undergarments,
cloaks, coats, pantaloons and vests, partially
faded, or despoiled of their newness, which are
allowed to remain in unfrequented closets,
perhaps to be soiled by dust or ruined by
moths during the next summer! Is this not
so? We ask you Mr.. A., whose delight is in
fast trotter and easy slipping sleigh, and you
Miss B., who are so anxious about the style of
your ball-dress, and you Mrs. c., who must
have your costly furs for street promenade?
Not that we wish to deprive you of any of
these luxuries, but how much more would you
enjoy life, if through your influence, you can
congratulate yourselves that some destitute
man, woman or child is made comfortable
through the gift Of your cast-off clothing?
The Provident Association, at their rooms
on Myrtle street side of the City Government
building basement first door below Congress
street, are ready between II and i2 eeieelS in
the forenoon every day, to receive your gifts;
or, by leaving word with their agent, Mr.. j.
R. Thompson, he will see that such gifts reach
the proper destination.
