The majority Of them are very med
iocrc, and let their imagination run
riot with their reason BY this dis
QUESTION do not understand me to
refer to Sucl, writer's as Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, Guy de Nanpassant,
Tolstoi and writer's of that class.
They arc neck and shoulders above
the striplngs | have described. Bos-
ton is the home of American writers,
of culture and Of intellect. One can
not remain long there and move IN
good society without becoming con-
WINGED Of the fact that culture and
Intellectual attainmcnts is a univer-
sal passport. 1t is also the home of
music in this country The Sym
phonv Orchcstry there is second best
in the world. The leader, Ncikish,
was at one time conductor Of the Grand
Orchestra at Vienna and stands high
in the musical world. Damrosch,
who mapriaI Blainc's daughter, lead
his German Orchestra there with
much trcpcdation. Mr.. Eugene II iY-
cinson is the great promoter of music,
and owns some very valuable old Vi
OWNS, tor Which he paid fancy prices.
WELLESLEY, the greatest school for
Young ladies in the country, is Sitna
ted about fifteen miles from Boston.
1t is very Imposing structure, the
architecture OF which il magnificent
Iiammit Billings, the "ariNt nroht=
tect," designed it. and it is sail to
he his crowning effort The grounds
are beautiful and laid off with ex-
ouisitc taste. The standard there is
equal to that of Harvard College and
when young woman is turned out
from there she can discourse upon
something more clifying than the
latest love story, or the bellies Of the
last ball, and make herself very
interesting conyersationalist, where
before she w3s an indcscribable bore.
There arc the greatest quantity OF
women in America, with strong and
yrasring intcllects that permit them
selves to be inro*e!! upon by strip
lnc<. conccitc'l cnouSl' to ti.;nk they
know il all, and, unconsciously, let
them assert their weak minds and
oftimcs weaker spirits over Their Su-
pcrior ones. What women are de-
iicicnt in, is self assertion. They
have no business in politics. Their
proper place is to rule the home; but
|-thcy do want to assert themselves
and stop the wholesale imp"Sitlons
that arc thrust upon them
[ hear that Judge Rllea, of Bristol,
has declared that he is not an asplr-
ant for the Supreme Court Bench. II
this is true, the Judge has raised
himself considerably in my cstilna
ton, It was the general impress
sion before ,i.c election that he would
be candidate. Judss Morrison will
undoubtedly be the man to whom ttir
honor will fall, but we all dislike to
give him up. lie has made such an
excellent G;rcuit Judge and is so
universally beloved thGt we would be
glad to have him with us foF all
time. ! understand, however, that
he will not accept the Circuit Judge
ship again, whether he gets seat
on the Supreme Bench or not. There
are a great number of young lawyers
candidates lor his position, and who
ever gets it will have Il hard road to
travel. care not what his !pgal
ability may be or what his sense OF
Justice, the man who succeeds Mort
son, if he makes half the reputation
as iurist, or if the people love him
with half the zeal, he may count
himself worthy Successor to one OF
the most popular and beloved Judges
that ever presided over a conrt in
the State of Virginia.
