When Joe Coburn, ex-prize-fghter, was
pardoned out of the New York state prison,
he applied for a license to keep liquor sa-
loon in New York city, and license was re-
fused. But the present license commission
ers of the city Of Boston, part of the Butler
Democratic administration of that city, have
given John l.. Sullivan a license, and this
week he opened his grand establishment on
Washington street with a "blowout."
The Traveller of the next day said: "Per-
chance one of the most disgraceful scenes
that has ever been witnessed here since Bos-
ton became city-nay, ever since it has
been a community-was that of last night,
at the opening of the liquor establishment of
"Bruiser" Sullivan, on the easterly side of
Washington, just above Kneeland street.
Rowdyism was the rule, drunkenness domi-
mated the hour, and the disgrace of the city
was complete.

jefferson Davis comes forward once more
to tell the public that he was not a traitor.
What provokes him this time is some state
ments in an article by Judge Black who was
in Buchanan's Cabinet. This article was
Published several months ago, but Mr.. Da-
Wis has just got ready to contradict him. His
temper has not improved by the delay, or, if
it has, it was very bad before, for he shows
wicked disposition towards the Judge OF
course Judge Black will reply. He is not
man to bear blows patiently. But what does
it all amount to? Judge Blacks motive is
to show that President Buchanan, acting by
his advice, did all that patriot could do to
prevent secession and war and that jeff Da-
Wis was the chief sinner in the business The
fact is that the whole crowd were a weak
ana treacherous lot, and it is impracticable
for them to be rehabilitated in the respect of
the country. They may quarrel among
themselves about which was worst; but
this quarrel does not much concern the
world at large, which has already condemned
in bunch the Democratic party leaders
of that day who did not make their 10y
atty unquestionable.

1'ilden and Hancock.

Judge D. G. Birdsall of Westfield, Conn,
is making some interesting revelations re-
garding The last national campaign. The
glst OF what he says is that Mr.. Tiden
treaeherously contributed to the defeat of
General Hancock. This charge was made
IN general terms at first, as the statement of
prominent Democrat" whereupon GER
tain newspaper friends of Mr.. Tilden in
Judiciously attacked the statement in a way
which caused The Judge to make the
charges specific and to put his name to them.
The gravity of the matter appears from the
fact that until after the last campaign Judge
Birdsall was strong supporter of Tlden and
wrote defences of him, at Mr.. Tilden's re-
quest, for publication. These are the charges
he makes
First That General Hancock was defeated BY
the positive acts of the friends of Samuel j. Tilden,
acting under his directions and with the use of his
money, in 1880.
Second That one of his friends reported TO me-
the substance of directions he had received to that
end from Mr.. Tilden October rs, 1880, at the
headquarters of the National Democratic commit
tee on Wednesday morning October 81, 1880. and
at the same time told me where the nefarious work
would be done, exactly as it was stated in my
published interview.
Thrd-That the election returns from the places
indicated by that gentleman, as stated in the
"my' hical interview proved that the work iuas
done e6ectually."
= Fourth-1hat the San by UNANIMOUSLY deriding
General Hancock in the latter part of the cam
paign, as stated by me in the published interview,
aided materially in securing General Hancock's
defeat; and
Fifth-That Mr.. Tilden did not contribute $685.
goo or any other sum to the legitimate objects of
that campaign.
In proof of the first and third charges he
cites the vote in nine New York counties
wherein the campaign for the Democratic
party was managed exclusively by inEmate
friends of Mr.. Tilden and Gen. Hancock's
vote fell off as compared with Mr.. Tilden's,
nearly 10000 votes while there was no such
falling off in other counties where the man
agement was honest. He says he is not yet
authorized to give the name of his inform
ant touching the matter of the second
charge; but intimates that it may be had if
he is pressed. Judge Birdsall is life-long
Democrat, but he no longer believes that S.
]. Tilden is an honest man o. faithful to his
party.

''The Lady of the Lake" By Sir Walter
Scott. Edited, with Notes, by William ].
Rolfe. boston: j. R. Osgood & Co.. j; Port
land: Loriug, Short & Harmony
In this volume Mr.. Rolfe has done much
for the general reader, who is apt to find
SCOTS Gaelic phrases as unintelligible as
Shakespeare's archaisms. Mr.. Rolfe's pains
taking accuracy has discovered many errors
in the later texts, and he has in several in
stances substituted new readings for famil-
lar ones on the authority of the first edition
of the poem, which Scott himself corrected.
But in all such cases Mr.. Rolfe has given
the familiar readings in the notes. The illus
trations in this volume are those used in
Osgood & Co.'s special edition of 1.-THE La
dy of the Lake, and are exceedingly beau
tiful. For school uses and for the family
library this is the most desirable edition to
be obtained.

valuable amount of information on a sub
Ject little known, yet of great interest.

This is another book that will interest the

Mountains begins with the settlement of
Upper Coos and Pequaket. A simple direct
ness of narrative, entirely innocent of liter
airy art, and the warm human interest of the
tale, give to its pages certain quaint, coun-

lily in the avalanche of 1896 The volume
contains portrait of Abel Crawford, s'the
Patriarch of the Hills" and there is brief
chronicle of the chief events in the history
