LOUISE TO CLARA.

At Home Aug, 18th, SO.
Dear Clara Your very short but
interesting letter was read in the
Household last week. | regret that
you could not attend the meeting
of the Press Convention. You
missed one of the grandest events
in the history of cOlored editors.
| assure you that the editors who
attended the cOnyentiOn were men
of brain. [ have often had a de-
sire to meet Mr.. Pelham, of the
Detroit Plaindealers, of whom /
have heard so much talk. He is a
genius and man of great solidi-
ty. In my note, said the ban
quet was held at the HavaiOw
House, which should have read CIin-
ton Cottage. / rem ined in Philadel
phia q few days and returned to
the city last week, so that | would
be in time for the Orpheus excur.
sion, on which occasion | had the
pleasure of meeting many of my
friends. The MikadO excursion
was a success in every particular
as You so stated in your letter last
week.
| hardly thought that your no.
tice of such an event was cOmpli-
mentary enough. My dear friend
the Major, who is successful in all he
does deserved special mention, as
we'll as Mr.. Thompkins. This forces
me to say, that it is evident, from
the great number that went down
| on the Orpheus Musical and Social
club, that it seems as if the people
are with them, which one is right
or wrong must be left for others to
say, as both claim to be right. /
am not desirous to side with either
party, but / hope that neither will
be displeased with what | may say.
Major Fleetwood is sincere man,
hence l don't believe that he would
do anything injurious to the other
side.
The book that was loaned to the
Original Orpheus should have
been returned as promised. This
act on the part of the originals will
no doubt effect the organization III
this community. Gentlemen OF
honor will not do anything to their
detriment. | must say that | be
lieve that the originals have been a
little too severe on the other CLUB
which tended to injure their excuI
sion last month.
IT. can he seen that the musical
club has had two successful eXcur
siOns and on both excn siOns the
best element of the Household
patronized them.

Lecture on Beauty and Art.

Mr.. G. L. Fox, in his lecture Monday even.
ing, said that the study of beauty in ordinary
things gives us an appreciation of higher
beauty in ideal things and that this increase
was of our own free will; for then we are
inspired by Nature, the mother of artists,
and not so much by the artists themselves.
Every man should be his own critic, know
ing what he likes ana dislikes and why.
Ideals change with people, people change
with climate, and painters paint. according
to the color of the climate; reason why the
French school is gray. Mr.. Fox defines
beauty ''as that unspoken quality that
teaches us to love-" and cart, as the sharp
struggle of the finite within us to render the
infinite visible
The lecture showed the relation of beauty
and art to daily life. The talk before the
Sketch Club was In part repeated and his
address closed with an eloquent appeal for
the opening of the art rooms ON Sunday for
the benefit of the work people who could not
or would not come other days-as the Louvre
at Paris.
The clergymen who were present, being
called upon by Mr.. Fox, agreed that the fam
lilies who were able to attend base ball games
together ought to find time week days for
amusements if they chose. They then ex-
pressed warm sympathy for this work and
their hope for more lectures.

Sim Another c ountrvman cu,lea.

Stephen Sellers of Deer Isle, aged 90, was
walking up Custom House Wharf yesterday
afternoon, when well dressed man accosted
him and asked him if he would not like to
work on yacht. He replied that he did not
want to, but thought he knew of some one
who would. Sellers became very conf
dental with the good looking, well dressed
stranger, who had a full tawny beard and
was quite stout. When they reached the
Custom House, the stranger said he had
bill to pay and only one hundred dollar
bill to pay it with, and that he would go in
there and try to get it changed. He re-
turned, saying to Sellers, who had waited
for him, that he was unsuccessful, and seemed
much troubled. Finally, when the couple
had reached the fight of stairs leading to
the newspaper offices from Market street,
the stranger borrowed $32, to pay the bill,
from Sellers, and left his hand bag in Sellers
hands for security while he went up stairs to
settle the account. The head of the flight
from Market street meets the head of fight
of stairs leading to Exchange street Down
the latter flight the stranger rushed and dis
appeared. Sellers waited some little time
for his return and then opened the hand bag.
1t was cheap affair and only contained a
copy of the Boston Globe. Then Sellers re-
ported his loss to the police.

1t is understood that proposition will

Maine Central railroad to lease the Portland
& Ogdensburg Railway. No formal action
has yet been taken, but it is known that
the matter is under consideration. The
Maine Central directors hold their regular
meeting here tomorrow, and if any PROPOSE
