local interest, that it should receive the
careful perusal and study of our readers
Washington's future fame is intimately
associated with tho establishment Of such
institutions as that so ably advocated in
this sermon.

BOYS coAsTwIsE; OR, ALL ALONG THE
SHORE BY WILLIAM II. RIDETNG (author

Gus illustrations. New York ID. Appleton
g. Co. Washington W. II. Morrison
Our boys are never so happy as when
sailing toy boats, dressed In sailor cos
tunes, or listening to yarns of the sea.
Thus much may DO taken for granted.
How TO turn this fact to advantage and
train the youths mind in q proper way
by such judicious narration Of tales of
adventure and stories Of foreign coun-
tries as shall educate without making
him runaway from home, Is the great
problem. Mr.. RideiDg has succeeded
admirably In doing this, and his very
readable book will be found not only a
safe one for parents TO place In the hands
Of their boys, but very profitable one to
read themselves, as a glance ut the table
of contents and perusal Of but n single
chapter will show. The illustrations and
Typography are excellent, and there Is 80
much valuable information contained in
the 365 pages that the book will COM
mand good circle Of readers.

1t is to be questioned whether there has
ever been q more complete production o,
the kind than tho above captioned work
which in three compact little volumes
contains specimens of the ELOQUENT utter
ances Of the great English orators who
serve, and always will, as models for those
who aspire TO power In public speaking
aud affairs Of state. The extreme diff
Guilty of making selections from among
the master pieces of these great men can
only be appreciated by those who have at
tempted something of tho same sort.
Tho avowed object which Mr.. Adams
had in view, however, as stated in his
preface, was not so much to furnish exam
| piles Of elouuence as to show the part
played by each one of his orators in max
ing up the history of England for the
past two hundred and fifty years. In
| the shaping of the political thought and
action OF that period, he thinks tho ora
tions quoted by him were the efficient
causes. Tho array of names marshaled
before us Is very striking: Eliot, Pym,
Chatham, Mansfield, Burke, Canning,
Macaulay, Golden, Bright, Beaconsfeld,
Gladstone, Pitt, Fox, Macintosh, and
Erskine. Each Grafton is pretacod with
a concise statement of the salient points
of the orators life and work, and the es-
sential characteristics Of the peculiar in
fluence exerted by him. While this IL
the aim of the work, its incidental value,
no mean one, will also consist in direct
ing the attention Of the American youth
to a study Of the scholar-statesmen in
whom Great Britain has been so highly

And 10 my wearied heart they breathed a So

That unto happy throbs OF Joy changed every

Glad giits of golden sunsets that forever gam
boiled there
Aud hidden in the ambush of your rare and
rosy lips
Was honey sweeter than bud keeps for the
bee that sips
But now the daughters broken, and the skies
are dark with clouds;
The birds are gone; the trees hAvo donned their

And from the patter Of the feet a note of musics
And kisses seek in vain to find the little lips

The last two parts Of Admiral Porter's
novel, bound in one, have just come to
hand and this tremendous work, truly
called by its publishers, "a remarkable
novel," Is now complete. 1t Is probably
the most extraordinary work of fiction
ever given to a reading public. If a COM
plicated and intricate plot, host of char
acters and rapid succession Of moro and
moro startling incidents make q good
novel IL Is undoubtedly good. On the
other hand IL characters so numerous az
20 crowd each other out Of tho memory
of tho most attentive reader, and charac-
tiers too without ray of individuality or
originality, plot SO laborious and in
| yolyed as to take nine volumes to relate
| II In, and told in q hopelessy bald and
commonplace style-if those elements
constitute n poor novel this one may
proudly claim the pre-eminence OF one Of
the very worst ever written.
To give bare outline of the plot would
occupy perhaps q closely printed page Of
this journal, so the attempt to do so will
not be made. The characters range over
land and sea, and comprise natives and
| foreigners, detectives, forRers, naval
officers, and civilians Of every rank in
life, not TO mention a large number of
heroine8, all Of whom are either angels
or demons, but who are all alike OF peer
less beauty and of matchless intellectual
brilliancy, of which quality, however, nc
trace appears in their conversational
efforts. The conversations have not even
the merit of being natural, but are al
once stilted aud commonplace.

In Japan the use OF tea dates back 10
time immemorial. Whenever a guest
presents himself at a persons house q
cup or tea is at once offered him; the
omission to do this is a breach Of polite-
ness. In most houses it is the leaf OF
the tea plant called Sencha that Is used,
and not tho powdered leaf at all.
Powdered tea, Matcba, - usually used
only IN tho houses OF mobiles and Of the
rich.
a c-eremonious system Of drinking tea
has existed in Japan from very ancient
tunes. a gathering of friends is held
in u certain small room OF fixed dimen-
sions, IN which ground or powdered tea
is served to them. This room is called
sukiya, and Is generally detached from
the dwelling house. Outside and about
tho room curious and valuable stones
and plants arc arranged, and inside old
tea utensils are displayed, also old scroll
pictures and other paintings. At the time
of n gathering various kinds of prepared
dishes are placed on low stands before
each guest. The host himself prepares
Koicho thick tea in the presence of his
guests, and o Iors a cup OF it to all the
guests always fvo), to DO taken in
turn. after which lsucha weak tea Is
handed to them.
Tho great point about this tea-room
is, not that it be gaudily decorated, but
that it be neat ana thoroughly clean.
Tho process OF making tea for everyday
use does not diher materially from
that adopted in this country, but in the
matter OF acrimonious tea-drinking it
u necessary that great attention be
paid to the selection and pres rvation
OF tea, the selection Of tho water, the
arrangement Of the utensils, obserya-
ton of the temperature of the water,
and care in the washing of the utensils.

WASHINGTON. LINCOLN. GRANT.

"Gen. Grant is dead. This message
was flashed over the wires at 1880 o'clock
yesterday morning, and the sorrow-laden
words fed from mouth to mouth. until
everybody knew that the old hero's noble
spirit had taken its departure. Soon af-
ter, the tolling Of the church bells put a
hush upon the community; the people
gathered in many places and with sadden-
ed hearts discussed the last tidings from
Mount McGregor.
While all arc grieved and shocked, none
are surprised TO hear OF Gen, Grants
death The whole country has been ex-
pecting it, and it was evident to all that
the hopeful bulletins that were published
daily, were but a reproduction of those
published during President Garield's
death struggle.
1t is as a soldier that Gen. Grant will
20 down to posterity. The conqnerer Of
the great rebellion will be remembered
long after the mistakes of the citizen
have been forgotten. Gen. Grant was a
soldier of the Cromwell and Wellington
type. The people loved him in spite Of
his cold and Unconditional temperament
they loved hun because they trusted him.
In his bearing there was little of the man
ner thai makes in man a popular hero.
He was not brilliant or dashing, emotion
al or graceful His success was due in o
large manner to what Senator Conkling
called the very genius Of common
sense. 1t is impossible in a short news
paper article to do justice to
the characteristics and career
of such u man as Grant Many
military critics have written disparagingly
OF him as n soldier but after all, Success is
the true test OF greatness. 1t was Gen.
Grant who captured Vicksburg; 10 lin
Gen Lee surrendered at Appomattox. IL
was Grant who first cheered the hearts of
the American people with the prospect Of
a speedy ending ofthe civil war.
When the present generation shall
have been replaced by the succeeding one,
the errors aud misfortunes of his latter
deys will be forgotten, and he will be re-
vered and honored US the leader Of the
union in its mighty struggle for sclf pres
ervation. The descendants OF the men
who wore the blue will ever see in him the
central figure of the war in which their
fathers fought and died; while the dcscen.
