An Old Boston Magazine.
lLiPpincoEs.l


Hawthorue'S story of 81 Virtuosos Collec-
ton " was contribution to tha first volume
OF this magazine; and among the book notices
by the editor is an appTeeiative one of Haw-
thorne's "Twice-Told Tales" lie says the
tales deserve to be twice told :" and he halls
the stories as giving promise that the active
mind and pen and their author have not been
idle while he has been deyotiug himself to the
cause ofagrieulture and Wearying himselfin cut
ting peat in the marshes ofRoxbury." Thewhole
criticism shows that the editor of the Boston
Miscellany had caught forecast Of Hawtborne's
powers that represents accurately the modern
and settled opinion of this great romaneer's
genius. Following the Hawthorne notice Is
a friendly one on the Ballads and Other
Poems" of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow,
published at Cambridge by john Owen that
very year.
In somewhat later number Tennyson's two
volumes published BY w. ID. Ticknor are no.
ticed and here the editor says:
We aware that, in some quarters, the
title poet is not allowed to our author. and
We easily see in some, especially of his earlier
productions, the causes which have led TO this
prejudice against him."
Bus, on the whole, the foregoing writer
thinks that the current sneers " are not justi-
fed and tho only support for them is an ig-
norance of Tennyson's finer poems On the part
of his critics."
As interesting an article as any in these
volumes is Edgar Allan Poe's three-page criti-
cism-rrhich is made body article-of Rufus
w. Griswods then famous book of " The Poets
and Poetry Of America" Poe opens his essay
by resenting the assertion that we are not
poetical people," He says:
"Our necessities have been mistaken for our
propensities. Having been forced to make
railroads, it has been deemed impossible that
we should make verse. Because it suited us to
construct an engine in the first instance, it
has been denied that we could compose an epic
in the second. Because we were not all
Home.s in the beginning it has been some
what too rashly taken for granted that we
shall be all Jeremy Benthams in the end"

A plan was agreed upon TO organize the
lower house Of the legislature by revolu-
tionary methods. As it stands the Repub-
hcans have sixty-three members, or one
majority. The scheme as advocated by the
leaders of the Peoples party is to have the
new secretary of state to allow no one to
enter representative hall but Peoples
party members and TO station guards and
officers, resorting to the state militia if
necessary, TO prevent the Republicans from
gaining admittance on the day when the
legislature meets

Lawyers have been consulted and yester-
day Judge Webb, Populist, declared that
his party would organize the house at all
hazards. Govenor-elect Lewelling denied
that the conference considered such means
OF securing control Of the house, and said
that it was called without his knowledge
or authority. Leaders declare they will or
ganize the house and elect a senator. New
state officers will be inaugurated Jan 10,
and the following day the legislature will
