be here in time for the meeting If it could be
postponed until to-day; 80 did Tole-
dos. Manager Sullivan and Presi-
ident McKim, of the Kansas City
club. and H. G. Lawrence of the Cleveland club
were here. and remained over for the meeting
to day. A telegram was received asking for the
admission of the Nashville, Tenn, club, and it
will also be repre- resented at the meeting 1t is
proposed to make the league consist of clubs at
Toledo, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Nashville. Mil
waukee and Kansas City, leaving out St Paul;
but that club is anxious for admittance,
and the matter will be decided to-day.

National League and American Association

National agreement, immediately upon their
receiving notification of its formation. President
Thorner of the ex Cincinnati Unions, has been
invited 10 be present to-day, and will be here

ON CLASSIC GROUND.
A Summer Philosophers Peep at Haw.
thorne's and Emerson's Old Homes.

Concord Letter.
"Wayside" the old home of Hawthorne while
resident OF Concord, is close to the Hillside
Chapel. A winding path among the hemlocks
and cedars leads to it. 1t is in sense of the
word pretty or graceful domicile and is alone
interesting through its associations. A Boston
publisher purchased it two years since, and has
added to its quaintness some modern furniture
which does not enhance It's charms. The rooms
seem to have been added or built on to the orig
lnal four rooms as occasion demanded them by
the elder Hawthorne. A very steep staircase
from the second story leads to the tower
like room called the study It is an
odd apartment possibly twenty feet square, the
ceiling is tent-shaped, and decorated with sea
views and landscape. Over the mantel shelf
is painted, Nathaniel Hawthorne Born 1904
Died 1868" This of course has been placed there
since the authors death. The closets where he
kept his manuscripts the standing desk and old
table are all that remain of the furniture that
was here during HaWthornes life. If the walls
could speak, what eloquent stories might they
not tell of the pacngs up and down of the rest
less man, for he was in the habit of walking
while composing his wondrous tales. There is
a kind of balcony or platform in front of this
room where he loved to sit or walk, and just
below the windows on the other side is the
path among the pine trees where, we are told
he walked so frequently in meditation. Miss
Elizabeth Peabody is at present guest in this
house. Mr.. Hawthorne was her brother-in-law
and she delights to talk of him. She gave some
early life, his courtshp of her sister Sophia, his
great beauty and shyness in those years, and his
lack of appreciation of his own gifts. Miss Pea
body is eighty two years of age but her memory
is perfect Her closing description of Hawthornes
last illness and death was pathetic.
Emerson's home is, perhaps, a quarter of a
mile from ''Waysde." 1t is handsome old
mansion, and quaint and beautiful il its furnish
ings. The study" of the philosopher is in the
front of the lower story of the house. The walls
are lined from top to bottom with books save
where the doors, windows and mantle shelf
make the exception. The old rocking chair, the
desks and tables, ETC., as we'll as the books, are
as they were in Mr.. Emerson's time-but
there is pretense to having kept the room
intact and as it was during his working days
the last ten years of his life being different in
their order from his decline in intellectual
powers and ill-health. The venerable mansion is
the abode Of hospitality, and now, as in Mr..
Emersous life, guests from the Old and New
World, more or less distinguished, are enter
tanned. Mrs Emerson, although beyond three
score years and ten, is still beautiful Her com
plexion is wonderfully fair her eyes large, gray
and expressive, and her features regular. She
is tall, and has yet the grace which captured
Ralph Waldo Emerson so long ago.

GANJA-EATING.
One of the Peculiarly Eastern Vices--Enects
of the Drug.
London Telegraph,


A ganjaeater is criminal of which we have
happily counterpart in this country. He
is an Asiatic monster. We hear, no doubt,
of men being mad with drink" but their
frenzy differs both in degree and kind from
that which results from indulgence in the
juice Of the hemp, for ganja is a preparation
of this herb, and, though its production is
punishable by the laws liz India, is unfortu-
nately so easy to procure that crime from this
cause is constantly occurring. Thus IN the
latest Indian papers we find case of man
brutalized by its use, stabbing right and left in
Bombay bazaar, and note that the magistrate,
when passing sentence, deplored the increase in
this most dangerous class" the "ganja eating
people" Similar Ipreparations-similar, at any
rate in effects-are lamentably widespread, and
almost every savage tribe in the world has
'haschish" of its own. Opium and gania are
two narcotics best known in the East In the
West fortunately, have but little expe-
rience with either. The former steals away,
albeit with consummate fascination,
mans intellectual energies and, in
consequence, therefore. his physical energies,
too. The latter makes mad, wild beast of him,
works him up suddenly into frenzy of maiig
nant purpose reckless of his own life or of 9th
ers. The Indian government, therefore, draws
a wide distinction between the two Without
actually encouraging as it has been accused of
doing, the consumption of the poppy juice in the
empire, 1t is content TO restrict its by imita
tions on the sale. In the case of ganja however,
it has positively forbidden the drug, and the
sale or purchase of it is penal by law.
Nor is this distinction without some
justification. The opium eater is an innoculous

Going into Battle.

Cincinnati Times-S tar.
Said Capt. George W. Stone Yesterday ri
don't believe any man ever went into battle
without feeling frightened know l never did.
I'll tell you when man feels real badly. It's
when he is forming his men into line for a big
battle while little skirmishing fire is kept up
all the time Every minute someone, may
be your best friend, standing right next to you
will shrek out, "Oh, my God" and fall back
dead yet you cannot let your men fire, for the
army must be drawn up first. There is plenty
of time to think. You don't dare to retaliate in
any way. The next bullet may find your heart,
and your children will be left fatheress. 1t is a
moment that tries the bravest man, because he
has to stand quietly and take it all. But when
the order comes to fight ard the excitement of
the battle arises, fear passes away. You have
something TO do. You have a duty to perform
at any cost Bullets drive into the ground at
your feet, sending UP little clouds Of dust they
whistle past your ears and maybe cut holes III
your clothing Shells and shrapnel kill your
comrades and leave you living, and soon there
comes feeling that some good fortune has pre-
served you and will protect yon, and the desire
to do much damage to the enemy alone fills
your mind That was my experience in the
army and don't believe that the man lived
who did not feel at the commencement of a fight
that he would rather be som ewhere else"

The Kind of High School They Want.
Atlanta Constitution.

The city of Atlanta spending large sum to
keep up high schools. We think it would be bet
ter to increase the number Of grammar schools,
and if higher school is requiredit should be sup
ported by taxation, that it should take the shape
of education in some practical sense. A high
school that would turn out young men as skilled
mechanics, and young women thoroughly edu-
Gated in domestic arts, would be a great blessing
Our people are taxed to make professional men
IN our schools and college3-we mean lawyers
and doctors. Nine out of ton of the graduates
are unfit for anything else. If we want super
intendent for a cotton mill, a foundry, a mine, a
railroad or anything, we have to send somewhere
else to get him. This is all improper, and the
defect should be supplied. If any one considers
the large per cent of our college graduates that
business matters, they will at once see that
there is some defect in our system, and we COM
mend the subject to our legislators as one that
needs reform

the President The commission came through
Senator Wade Hampton; and it is quite an
honor to an artist to be the first called
to the White House after an Inauguration.
The sittings were begun last week, and
Mr. Query says the President has not been
fairly dealt with in the published portraits. His
complexion is not as represented, his hair is
dark brown, his mustache light brown, and his
eyes are blue and soft and amiabe in expression.
While the face is full Of character and marked
individuality yet there is an air of refinement
about It. and he really is a good-looking man.
