THE Country Week" conducted by
the Boston Young Mems Christian
union, has given. since its Inauguration
in 1875. eight thousand five hundred of
the poor children of the city the pleas
ure of a ten days visit in the country in
summer. A circular from the secretary
that work for the season has
already commenced. The children are
ready to come, but places are wanted.
Our readers are doubtless familiar with
the operations of this charity. The chill
dren sent out are those of poor people,
who could only in this way have the
benefit of a visit to the country. If
any are willing to invite n or more
children to visit in their home during
the summer, address Miss Ellen II. Bal
ley, secretary, Is Boylston street, Bos-
ton, who will furnish any farther infor-
nation desired. The fares will be paid
by the committee.

IT looks very much as if Samuel j.
Tflden might be a presidential candidate
in the next campaign. On investigation,
his health is found to be excellent. AT
least so says Henry Watterson of the
Louisville (Ky.) Courier-Journal, who
has lately visited the ancient statesman.
''When | parted from him a year ago"
says Watterson, Il did never expect to

toration to health as to feel a delicacy
about %intruding upon his privacy. He
was good enough to send for me, and |
went over to Gramercy Park IN Il some
what sorrowful, sympathetic state of
mind" But it appears there was no
occasion for the gentleman from Ken
lucky to work himself up into a ''sor-
rowful. sympathetic state" This is
what he found: IF an apparition had

voice was found again. His eyes were
bright and his cheeks rosy his intellect
as sinewy and clear, and his wit as
incisive as it was when he made nothing
of riding Blackstone to Harlem and
back or driving the Kentucky bays from
Gramercy Park to G~reystone." Wat
terson next proceeds to demonstrate the
physical strength of the aged eX-gov-
crnor. The house is undergoing re-
pairs. and, says Watterson, "he took
me all over the new house, pointing out
the various changes, explaining his
general design, and discussing archi-
lecture and architects with characteristic
intelligence. He quite tired me out,

he talked with his usual pungency and

He smiled. and in his dry, Multiplying

MRS CHARLES JEwETr.

The following is AN extra I from AN obituary
of Mrs. Jewclt, published IN a Niles, Mich,
paper:
On Tuesday evening, MAY Ii, our city was
excited and saddened rs the news of Mrs.
,lewetts death passed from Que to another.
Each one felt as il a personal friend had gone
from our midst, so generally was she respected
and loved by all the community where she had
so long resided. Though not in robust nealth,
she was so quiet and reserved that few were
aware of the Indications which revealed to
herself that death might come with slight
premonition. She had been spending the after
noon with n few ladies at Il friends near her
own home. There had been no dimunition of
her usual checrfulncss or in the zest of social
enjoyment. Between daylight and dark, she
started to drive home, but when the carriage
stopped "A few moments later at her own door,
she was found in it-dead. Months of warn
ing could not better have prepared her for that
blessed translation. for when all the pains and
suffering which usually proceed such a change
are escaped. 1t is surely translation. not death.
