AMONG THE MOUNTAINS.

The following from letter, written from
Llttleton, by a lady relative OF one of our
esteemed readers, conveys a very good idea
OF the mountain scenery Of that region, AID
is very readable:
1--WE are about two hundred miles from
Boston, and only few hours ride from Mt.
Washington, Lafayette, etc, the White
mountain range. The blouse" is located
upon hill few rods above the village,
giving US a very fine view of the Franconia
range The mountains are designated as
the Franconla and Crawford ranges. I
would like 10 describe the scenery to you,
but | could do it SO imperfectly that you
could not begin to appreciate Its grandeur
or magn!ticence. The distant views are
perfectly charming with their eyer-yarying
lights and shadows, but one must drive
through the notch to the Profile house, Sit
uated in front Of the base Of Mt Lafayette,
and get view Of that mountain, in order
to appreciate the immensely and grandeur
of the mountains. Just beyond the Profile
house is the sold Man of the Mountain"
which is perfect wonder to behold. it is
such perfect profile of a mans head and
face in size, etc, but the aggregate length
Of the rocks that form the face is eighty
feet. I presume you remember your
geography sufficiently to bring to mind
the picture and description of thesOld Man,
The Flume, Emerald Pool, Silver Cascade
and Willez House, all within q short dis
lance Of each other IN the notch, are places
Of great attraction. The Willez House is
OF interest on account Of the sad fate Of its
occupant some years ago; it is located on
the road with Mt Willez, at its back and
Webster in front. There had been great
many heavy rains, and the people in the
vicinity had been predicting a land slide
from Mt. Willez, just in the rear of the
house. The family had prepared cave for
shelter, expecting the slide TO bury the
house without a doubt. Ii came at last
and as is supposed the family heard it com
ing, and rushed from the house tc meet
death, instead OF safety. A rock, thirty
feet high in the rear Of the house, divided
the slide and left the house, standing with
out blemish. There were nine OF the
family. They oil perished only five bodies
were found. They have built a railroad on
one Of the side of the mountains, through
the notch. The first day OF October was a
perfect day here. l went with friends down
through the notch that day. The trip is
beyond description. The foliage had on il
most GORGEOUS colors, and in some places We
looked down eighteen hundred feet upon
an occasion of colors. The evening previ-
Gus, there had been a slight fall OF snow,
upon the top Of Mt. Washington, which
added q new feature to be the scenery.
We had made tour among the mountains
some six years since, so we have only
visited few points OF great interest. The
mountain season is nearly to close, only
a few afflicted with hay fever linger here

COLLEGE BOYS WHO NEVER READ
\ BOOK.

Mr.. Charles Dudley Warner says in the
christian Union Those who have to
deal with the education of the young get
revealing glimpses into the state Of culture
in the households Of our highly intellectual
country A professor in one of our lead
ing colleges told me not long ago that a
freshman came to him, after he had been
recommending certain books in the htera-
.c~e class, and said he had never read a
book in his .'fo. This was literally true.
Except his textbooks, he had never read a
book he had passed q fair examination,
but Of reading he knew no more than a
kafr. Another professor in anotn,- COL
lege, also one Of the highest in the coun-
try, told me more recently that sopho-
more, who stood well in his class, came 10
ask him where he obtained certain facts
which he referred to in the class
room. 1t came out that the young
man had never read book, did not
know what the sensation was, or how to set
about it, and had not the faintest con-
ception Of literature. He had no notion of
the pleasure or profit to be got from read
ing; the world Of books was absolutely be.
You'd his Imagination, and he could not con.
ceive what people found in it, The profess
sor at length induced him to read one of
SCOTS novels, but the boy found il very
tedious and uninteresting occupation.
These two instances are extreme, but only
in degree; taste for literature is not com.
mon, and ignorance Of it is common even
among college undergraduates.

The Chinese Question.

Yesterday, says the Galveston News,
Colonel Gilhooly, accompanied by Major
Spillikins, happened to be walking down
Galveston avenue, when Gilhooly re-
membered that few days previous he
had left his walking-stick at the shop
of Chinaman close by to be repaired,
so they droE ped into the establishment
to get it. tttt
The Chinaman was not present, so
they had to wait few minutes until be
came in. .tI'V
Says Gilhooly: "I can't understand
why so many people have an unfounded
prejudice against Cinnamon, They at

Chinese labor, and they have their rights

g. a Chinaman, anyhow !" said
Spnlikins.
Gilhooly retorted: you are prej1-
diced, Spilikins"
just then Johnny Chinaman entered,
all smiles. Gilhooly shook hands most
cordially with the despised Monaghan
and asked if his cane was ready.
"Half-dolle firstlee," said JOHNNY,
holding out his itching palil.'.
Gilhooly got red behind the ears and
said
"You completed baboon, GIN
me that cane CT I'll wear it out OF your
hide!"
81 can't understand why so many peo-
pie have such an unfounded prejudice
against Cinnamon" observed SpiliSins,

How to Remove a Nuisance.

At the time of President Jackson's
visit to Hartford, in June, 1888, an i'm
mense crowd came in from the Surround
ing towns to welcome "Old Hickory
and all Hartford was out of doors to see
him. The roofs were covered and the
streets crowded. The President, accom-
panied by several dignitaries, made the
joorney from New Haven to Hartford
in carriages, though the General rode
most of the way from Washington to
New York on horseback. Tue Cover
nor's Horse Guard and hundreds of citi-
zens in carriages and on foot went down
to what was then known as Skinner
Corner to meet him. The "Corner''
was at the intersection of the roads
where the entrance to Cedar Hill Gene
terry now is General James T. Pratt
was chief marshal Of the day, and Gen.
William Hayden was in command Of
the military, which formed at the South
Green.
Among the incidents of the day,
which provoked considerable merriment
at the expense of the sufferers, was the
following, related by gentleman who
witnessed it: AS the Presidents party
came in sight of the people at SINNERS
Corner, it vas observed that three men
in a wagon were riding abreast Of
Jackson's carriage, and While not de-
signing to insult the distinguished visit.
ors, their conduct was so boisterous as
to annoy them. One Of the assistant
marshals requested them to fall back,
but he was answered by fat and pro-
fame refusal. General Pratt then rode
up and asked them to take themselves
out Of the way. Another blast of pro-
family and an emphatic negative greeted
this request. General Pratt's eyes
flashed ominously He was mounted on
a fine, powerful horse, and hating until
the wagon containing the belliserants
ways few yards away, the
General put spurs to his horse and
charged upon the animal which was
drawing the refractory three He came
up at full gallop, his horse striking the
other quarteringly on the foreshoulder
with tremendous force. The horse was
knocked down the embankment, the
wagon upset and partially wrecked, and
the stubborn three occupants found
themselves sprawling on the ground.
Although the shock of the collision was
great, General Pratt kept his seat as
firmly as rock, and the crowd cheered
him Justify.
Old Hickory could not repress smile
at the ludicrous scene as the three men
took the unexpected tumble. There
was good deal Of the Jackson snap in
the performance, and possibly the Presi-
dent thought if he had been III General
Pratt's place, 81 would have done the
same thing, by the Eternal. -Hartford

The fact was that she had known the

yesterday, and said:
