IT is a rather curious fact that
though Governor Bates majority is
greatly reduced he has received a
much larger vote than he did two
years ago. Though great many
Democratic voters staid at home, the
total vote in the State is larger than
it ever was before and aggregates over
100000. The increase was mostly in
the four largest cities, in all of which
there has been considerable growth
of population. The Republican gain
is, no doubt, to some extent, to be
credited to these newcomers.

Boston rs a Poetry Mill.

To write poetry is merely considered,
in Boston, as an elegant accomplish
ment suitable to the litterateur, and
less q special gift than the natural and
expected result of scholarship and
culture. The charming assumption
with which a society or meeting of any
description designates its members to
write poem on such and such an oc-
casion is infinitely amusing. "Why did
you not come to the literary coterie?"
questioned friend the other day.
"Alrs. Dias and Mrs. Anagnos wrote
poems for the evening, and we had a
philosophical paper and tableaux. I"
This was an illustration of the Boston
nonchalance regarding writing po-
ems" it is discussed in matter-of-
fact way, as an affair quite of industry
rather than of inspiration. II the
birthday or wedding anniversary of a
prominent person is to be celebrated, a
fair gotten up, an exhibition opened,
or the "Old South" receive another con-
tribution toward saving it from the de-
structive march of trade, the instigators
of the affair all write poems-as nat
ural feature of the entertainment
Though the so-called poems are nu-
merous, the poets are few, yet these
rhymers and versitiers all enroll them
selves under that banner, and enjoy
the felicity of their belief. The genu-
inc poets of Boston are almost as few
as of any other city. Longfellow,
Lowell, Whittier, Emerson, Louise
Chandler MoultOn, who has gift of
the almost perfect lyric verse; John
Boyle O'Reilly, DR.. Holmes, and Mrs.
Howe, in her Battle Hymn of the Re-
public" and her Sealed Orders" make
up all that now recall who seem to
have any claim to poetic Immortality.
Yet the people who grind out their
poems to, on, and for every occasion,
are as numerous as the prose writer's.
Volume after volume is published here
of mere prosaic prose that rhymes, and
Is labeled came near saying libeled
poetry. What becomes of it is a
mystery l cannot fathom. Where do
all the dull books go to, any way ?
one wonders. The number of volumes
of poems" that contain, perhaps, one
that really merits the name and retains
the whole, is q signal advance over
those that have nothing in them but
mechanical rhyme. 1t is singular that
in city which may, perhaps, not un-
aptly be designated as the literary cap
ital of the country, there is so marked
lack of fine literary discrimination.
Form more than spirit, quantity more
than quality, appears to take prece-
dence. To publish a volume of poems"
is as much the part of the natural ex-
pectation as to read the current liter
ature and attend the symphony con-
certs. Whether the poems are worth
publishing is consideration that does
not seem to present itself. boston

ALesson in Swimming.

A seal-mother gives a curious display
of maternal solicitude in teaching her
calf to swim. First taking hold of it
by the fipper, and for while support
ing it above water, with shove sho
sends the youngster adrift, leaving il
to shift for itself In short time, the
little creature becomes exhausted, when
she takes a fresh grip on its fipper,
and again supports it till it has recov-
cred breath, after which there is an
other push-off, followed by a new at
tempt to swim, the same process being
several times repeated to the end of the
