Boston, May 19.--0n December Goth,
1883, the statue Of Harriet Martineau, by
Miss Anne Whitney was unveiled in the
old South Church, where it has since re-
NAMED. The figure is of heroic size, and
represents Miss Martineau as seated on
garden chair. The work was conceived
and projected by Miss Martineau's friend
and biographer, Mrs. Maria Weston Chap
man at cost of $l5,00O In order TINT
this memorial should be permanently
placed according to her wishes, Mrs. Chap
man formally gave it to Miss Whitney in
a convey ance made three years before her
death, the gift to take effect at the time
of that event. Miss Whitney was ac-
quainted with Mrs. Chapman's views
regarding it, and on the latter's death,
which occurred in July of 1886, she
accepted the charge. Miss Whitney then
called IN informal meeting of those who
were most interested and who had been
to some extent associated with Mrs Chap
man, and in consultation with them and
with Mr.. James jackson Jaryes of Rome,
whose wide experience made his counsel
most valuable, decision was reached
On being consulted, Mr.. JarVes suggested
that the statue be given to Wellesley Col
lege. The ceremonial presentation and
acceptance Of the statue ut Wellesley Col
lege will take place in June.

Foreign nI.and Erabbers., >,

Brooklyn Times.
The committee on public lands of the
House Of Representatives seems disposed
to wrestle in earnest with the question,
how to prevent the soil of the United
States from falling into the hands of
foreign monopolists. The committee has
prepared a statement showing the amount
of land held by few of the foreign cor
porations and capitalists who have specu-
lated largely in American property. The
list is by no means complete, but it con-
tains the names of handful of foreign
corporations and private citizens who
have "grabbed" an aggregate of nearly
81 900, 900 of acres. One of the largest
single owners on the list is the Marquis of
Tweeddale, who is credited with the owner
ship of ] $50, 900 acres considerably more
than one-third of the entire area of the
state of New Jersey-while the Duke of
Sutherland has 425, 900 acres, and the
amount appropriated by foreign corpora
tions includes 100000 acres in New
Mexico, owned by a Dutch company, and
an aggregate of 6 300 900 acres owned by
three English syndicates in Texas, Flor.
ida and Mississippi. The committee pro
poses to check the progress of this evil
by the enactment of a law providing tina
no nonresident alien or foreigner, no
any resident alien or foreigner who hal
not declared his intention to become
citizen, nor any corporation, one-tenth o
the stock Of which is owned by for
eigners, shall acquire or own an!
real estate in any of the territories
Such an act as this is pressingly needed
1t would serve to prevent the absorption
, of our soil by foreigners and the creation
of huge, all powerful class of foreigl
landlords, such as have proved the ours
of Ireland. But such an act is no
: enough. The mischief has already bee
; done, and some action must be take
sooner or later to restore to our citizen
the territory that have passed into til
hands of foreign capitalists. The Q
foreign corporations and individual
named by the committee have acquire
equal to four times the area of the stat
: of Jersey, territory capable of supper
ing in comfort millions of people
, This country cannot afford to perm
9 this curse of alien landlordism to obtai
footing here, and some means ought {
be devised to redeem the title to this lol
estate. This is d threat of n much great,
evil than is generally known.

PREsENTIMENT or DEATH.

Circumstances Attending the Death
OF Young IGayard at Mount Vesu-
Vius.
Philadelphia Tlmes
The subject of presentiment concern
ing the death and fatality in families
spoken of in Hancocks case recalls some
sad points in the Bayard history. Few
families have been more depleted by
sudden death than the Bayards, and in
many instances there have been fore
warnings and presentiments. 1t is said
that Miss Bayard wrote letter indica-
ting her approaching death. There are
now in Washington many old naval
officers who remember the interesting cir
cumstances attending the death of Miss
Bayard's cousin, Charles G. Bayard, at
Mount Vesuvius. He WAS the favorite
son of Richard Bayard of Philadelphia,
whose father and Secretary of State Bay
ards father were brothers.
In 1913, while on board the United
States ship Congress, in company with
several young friends from on board,
he made the ascent of Mount Vesuyius.
II was the game Congress that went down
in Hampton Roads before the Merrimac,
and in the party was the same Joseph
Smith, who, as commander of the Con
gress, had his head taken off by cannon
ball, and of whom his father said, when
he heard that the Congress was taken
'"Then Joe is dead" m the party also
was Lehman b. Ashmead of Philadel-
phia, with whom young Bayard afterward
went to Jerusalem to visit the Holy
Sepulchre. While there they both had
| tattooed on their arms by an old drago-
man the heraldic arms of Jerusalem, with
| the date of their visit. In the case OF
young Bayard the tattooed cross developed
| virulent features, festered, ind finally he
became sick and the arm became greatly
swollen, He continually declared that he
would die, and even after it appeared te
grow entirely well he was in the habit Of
saying TO Mr.. Ashmead and other friends
"This arm will he the death of me yet. !,
Ten years afterward young Bayard left
for cruise in the Columbia MS flag lieu
tenant of Commander Morris. Before
leaving he took n sad farewell of all hii
friends here, and declared to one and al
that "they would never zee him again >
He was very detected and Respondent
Ten years to day from his previous
visit, in company with young Carol
Tucker of Maryland and a few friends
the Columbia being then at Naples, Ii,
made the ascent of Vesuvius during ~
eruption. With him were Rear Admira
Simpson and Rear Admiral Calhoun
who were then lieutenants, lie had tn
arm of n Prussian army officer. He wa
quite gay. Just near the Hermitage
where lie had halted 10 years before, III
party stopped, finding it would he dan
gerous TO go nearer the crater, As the,
were turning mass Of lava and rocl
struck young Bayard ON the arm, wher
he had been tattooed, cutting il fearful,
and obliterating the cross, and before tn
party could reach the foot of the yoloan
, he died, His mother is still living, upwar
j OF w years of age. His body il burie
Z near the foot OF Vcsuyins.

MISGIPING.
Georgia A. Peck.

Dear, forgive me that falter,
l am weak,
For the word fain would speak,
But q vow before Gods altar
Naught may break
Listen, then, for loves sweet snkel
We could walk in pleasant weather
Side by side,
Each with other satisfied;
We could keep our step together
In the sum-
Love is easily begun. ...-..-
Could we through lifes many morrows,
Early, late,
Clasp glad hands, defying fate;
Tender, true, through joys and sorrows,
Undismayed
By the storm, the chill, the shade2
Strange, long, varying years together
One by one
Must the golden life-saDds run;
Dear, forgivel but tell me whether
Love would lend
Strength and sOlace to the end
Good Housekeeping.

THE ROSE OYER THE DOOR.

A cottage, all fitted and furnished,
Stands daintily over the way.
And here young pair to housekeeping
Came promptly the first day of May.
The place seemed SO home-llke and cosy,
The sun shone bright on the floor,
Yet one dewy eve saw them planting
A rose to bloom over the door.
All, how they watched over its growing,
And trained It with tenderest arts,
And swift, as its bright buds unfolded,
The love of home grew In their hearts.
The husband came home In the evening,
All weary and worn from the store,
To find the wife's welcome the sweeter
For roses that bloomed DER the door.
But "love," they say, flies out OF the win
dow,
When poverty enters before;'
But against all trials and troubles
These two young hearts garnered full
For, when fell the hush of the twilight,
They whispered anew loves sweet lore,
Wove closer the bonds of affection,
Meath roses that bloomed DER the door.
And when the "dark days" closed around
them,
And poverty's waves overbore,
To keep the dear home howthey struggled
Where roses bloomed over the door.
And now, all their "trlal-tlme" ended,
They dwell in the sunlight once more,
And love brightly CLEANS on the hearthston
While roses bloom over the door.
Ye new-mated pairs, who are building
Your home nests, now heed, l implore,
This lesson-that love fingers longest
Where roses bloom over the door.
SO, We, who count home more than shelter
Plant, ere the bright spring-tlme is DER
To make home the brighter and dearer--
rose to bloom over the door.

Just tall enough to be graceful;
Just dainty enough to be neat;
Just dress enough to be tasteful;
Just modest enough to be sweet.
Just tears enough to be tender;
Just signs enough to be sad; 5....
Tones soft enough to remember
Your heart through the cadence made glad
A tongue that speaks without harming,
Yet mischief enough to tease;
Manners so pleasant and charming -
That put you at once at your ease.
Just smiles enough to be happy;

Paris letter 10 the London Truth.
Does the modern woman of fashion be-
lieve that there is one man in IL, 900 who
knows the difference or can appreciate the
relative value of gown that has cost 200
or so guineas? Women may dress to
please themselves, or to cut out other
women, or to fascinate the men, but they
make desperate mistake if they imagine
that they secure the favor of one man by
their peacock vanity. The extrayagantly
dressed woman of society is the over
dressed woman. II is the privilege of
English women to burlesque the outrage
GUS designs of modern Paris. The costume
of modern Paris with no Eugene to direct
it is monstrous and hideous enough but
a modern Paris caricatured by modern
Regent street is almost laughable. Wit
ness the high hats or bonnets smothered
with flowers and vegetables that make the
wearer of each more hideous than the
last. The objectof the fashionably-
woman is to fascinate the result is 10 dis
gust. There can be nothing that is really
womanly, really attractive, really pure, or
approximately noble in one of these fan
tastic popiniays, who, in these desperate
times, while their sisters are starving
around them, cover their bodies with
clothes whose cost does not atone fol
their hideousness, and who know eacl
morning when they rise, and each nigh
when they rest, that they are as unable t.
pay for their frivolity MS the saddeneC
