NUMBER 3.
Literature,

RALPH WALDO EMERSON. BY Oliver Wen
dell Holmes. This is the seventh volume in the
American Men of Letters series. The preccd-
ing volumes, in the order of publication, were:
Washington Irving, by Charles Dudley Warm
er; Noah Webster, by Horace L. Scudder;
Henry d. Thoreau, by Frank B. Sanborn;
George Ripley, by O. B. rockingham: j. Fen
nimore Cooper, by Prof. r. X. Lounsbury, and
Margaret Fuller Ossoi, by 7. W. Higginson.
1t will be seen that the editor, Charles Dudley
Warner, has shown excellent discrimination in
allotting his subjects and it goes without the
saying that these biographies, one and all, are
exceedingly well done. Indeed, many of them
will take the place Of more pretentious but less
satisfactory works, and the series is already
standard and will have place in every good
library. In writing the life of Cooper Prof.
Lounsbury had the advantage of writing of II
noted American man of letters who had had no
biographer, but the disadvantage, due also to
Cooper's request to his family while on hs
death bed to permit no authorized account of
his life 10 be prepared, of not being able to St
cure the material which usually Is placed at the
disposition of the biographer. For all that the
biography of Cooper seemed to us the most adj
mirable of the series, if comparison is peImi,>-
ibIe, until Dr.. Holmes, whose pen TOUCHES
nothing that it does not adorn, gave Us in the
latest issue, the life of Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Here is man much written of, and OF world
wide reputation, that one unfamiliar with
his life and writings must plead ignorance Of
general literature; yet such are the gutici-
tions of Dr. Holmes for hi~ task. 80 genial his
pen, so fresh his criticisms 50 keen bis analz-
sis, and witbal so generous his sympathy with
his subject, that this may well be called the life
of Emerson. In preparing the volume DE-.
Holmes had the advantage of quoting from
number of letters hitherto unpublished and Of
valuable matter, furnished 10y members of
Emerson's family. The following account of
hi> personality and habits is essentially new:
"Emerson's personal appearance was that Of
a scholar, the descendant OF scholars. He was
tall and slender, with the complexion witch {.
bred in the alcoNe and not in the open air. He
used to tell bis son Edward that he measured
six feet in his shoes, bur his son thinks be could
hardly have Strengthened himself 10 that height
in his later years. He was very light for Il man
Of his stature. He cot on he scales at Cheyenne,
on his "trip to California, comparing his weight
with that of a lady of the party. A little while
atterWard he asked of his fellow traveller, Prof.
Thayer: How much did | weigh: \ hundred
and forty: a hundred and forty and a half
was the answer. Yes, YES, To-! That half

that there should be a sufficient apprO-
priation TO pay the necessary expenses
of such valuable organizations,
COMMERCE.
International trade and commerce,
under the sharp competition now exist
ing among civilized nations, have at no
time in the history of business rela-
tons between nstionaliUes, ever excited
so great interest as at the present
period. The commerce of foreign
countries in comparison with our own
has reaped great advantages even in
our own carrying trade; to remedy
which requires prompt action and wise
| craftsmanship.
| The tonnage of foreign vessels enter
| ed at sea-ports of the United States the
| past year amounted to 11,6SS.2 POS tons.
or about SO per cent. of the whole
| amount, while that OF the United States
vessels was represented by only ASH,
6Sl tons, or 30 per cent. We are pay
ing an enormous tribute to England for
transportation for which we receive
but little consideration or recompense.
The statistics of the past two decades
show a steady decline OF American
| shipping, and the fact stareS us in the
face that foreign ship owners are prac-
tically doing our carrying trade. This
is not consistent with the high position
the United States holds as leader Of the
| world. possessing as it does superior
! advantages in extent Of territory, va
riety of climate, fertility OF soil, quaint
ty Of production, uneqWalled harborS,
and supplemented by the intelligence
and the requirements OF vast popula-
ton.
The remedy can be found only in the
energy and efficiency OF the American
shipbuilder, aided by proper national
protection. We desire that there may
be created a commercial navy to be
owned by our own capital and differed
by American captains. In Il question
of such vital Importance, the State of
Maine should take great interest. for
large portion of her former glory and
pride was her interest and triumph in
| commerce. Her national legislators
should continue foremost as they have
| been heretofore instrumental in direct
ing public sentiment to this question.

the last war only as written on the page
of history. Let our own generosity, as
the fruit of personal observation, be the
source of future commentator, for the
opportunity of aiding the distressed but
worthy veterans, is fast passing away.
As age creeps on, the disease contracted
or the injury received by the veteran in
the service of his country naturally in
creases, and the soldier who lad the seeds
of disease sown in his system during his
exposure to southern climate is now
feeling its increasing effects. The soldiers
widow who has barely supported and ed
ucated her family without assistance, is
now in many instances restricted or en-
feebled by age.
The State gives those needy cases from
$l.O0 to $500 per month, the average
being about $500, | find from informa-
ton received from many sources that the
small amounts thus distributed go great
way and keep many soldier, widow, de-
pendent mother and father from suffering
and from the house of public charity.
l recommend that the appropriation be
made sufficiently largeto meet all cases of
distress; this will probably require an
amount larger than the appropriation of
last year.

to their care, and healthy educational
Interest among the scholars of the
State. Our State should endeavor to
help to fit our teachers for their work
that they may he encouraged to make
teaching a profession, instead of a
stepping stone to some other Occupa-
ton. The normal schools have been
potent influence in securing to the
schools better class of teachers, and
1t is to be deplored that Maine cannot
offer graduates as attractive salaries as
other States do, that their services may
be retained where they are so much
needed. By careful inquiry and from
reliable statistics, | am able to state
that three-quarters Of the amount of
teaching done by the normal graduates
from our own schools has been done in
Maine, and nearly one half has been
given to the ungraded schools. and the
larger portion of this kind of service
has been employed in the schools of
country towns. The Governor and
Council have repeatedly attended the
several examinations Of our normal
schools, AMI are able to furnish the
most favorable reports OF the efficiency
Of their teachers, and the scholarly
attainments of pupils. The full report
Of the work done by these graduates is
included in the report OF the State

Penobsoot tribe, So, 709.70.
| The Governor and committee of the
| Council have made an annual visit to
| these tribes for examination, information
and advice; and these interviews have APP

| funds appear to have been iudiciously

EDUCATION.

The steady progress Maine has made
in its school system since she became
an independent State, il one Of our
sources Of pride and power. There is
not a large town in the State. but has
adopted q graded system. and every
where there have been increased facjli-
ties for a higher education The
untiring devotion and zeal of the edu-
Gators OF the youth of our State. not
only to perfect themselves. but to
develop a progressive system of in
struCtiou and school work, has added
very much to the efficiency and results
of popular education Normal school
discipline has given MS more mature
plans and methods Of Instruction and
teachers better able to instruct iii am
advanced and more liberal course of
study. The Intelligence of a nation is
a guarantee of its perpetuity, and as q
rule the higher the degree Of intelii-
gence the more progressive is the
State.
herewith submit a table of statis-
tics prepared with great care, which,
better than words, indicates the status
of our educational system and the pro-
gressiVe attainments of our State, and
which when compared with earlier
times, shows surprising advancement.
