a lawyer, never married, went abroad
seven years ago, has never revisited
this country, although he corresponds
regularly with his cousins, w. Bayard
Cutting, of New York, and r. Fulton
Cutting, who is at the Rogers Cottage
at Newport for the summer. He was
not interested in yachting here when
he went abroad, but soon had steam
yacht built Later he sold this to the
Grand Duke Michael OF Russia, and
then he bought the magnificent craft
he owns now, which is one of the finest
on the other side of TIE water. He
was a member of several clubs in this
city. and still retains his membership in
the Union Club, the Riding Club, and
the Knicl1erbocker Club.
Mr.. Brown is well remembered here
in Richmond by his old playmates as
"Kivers' Brown. He is a grandson of
the late Jas. Brown. and his father was
brother to the late Dr.P .Wilkie Brown,
Mr.. Thomas Brown, and Mr.. George
Brown. The first named resided on
the north side of Franklin street be-
tween Third and Fourth, and at his
death left fund to establish the Found
ling Hospital, soon to be opened on
Church Hill. Mr.. Thomas Brown oc-

McEvers Brown developed con-
sump,ive tendency when mere lad,
and just before the war was sent to
Richmond by his parents in order that
he might get the benefit of the climate
and be under the treatment of his
uncle. DR.. Brown. He lived with Dr.
Brown and remained here until during
and until several years after the war.
His uncle paid particular attention to
his education, and he was recognized
among his companions as especially
bright.
He inherited money from the estates
of his grandfather and uncles, and a
large fortune from his parents, and has
been great traveller. Those who have
partially kept the run of his move

upon the SIMS story as highly sensa-
tional production. Mr.. Brown is about

veloped no tendency to eccentricity,
but was full of life and fun.-Richmond

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT.

Mr.. Charles Godfrey Leland, in his
"Memoirs,' says: 81 have all my life
been opposed to corporal punishment
be it in schools or for criminals. 1t
brings out of boys all that is evil in
their nature and nothing that is good,
developing bullying and cruelty,
while it is eminently productive of
cowardice, lying, and meanness, as l
have frequently found when l came
near the private life Of those who de-
fend it as creating 'manliness.' 1t was
found during the American war that
the soldiers who had been most &C
customed to beating and to being
beaten were by far the greatest cow
ards, and that Billy Wilson's regi-
ment of pugilists was SO absolutely
field at any time. One thing is very
certain: that I have found that boys
who attend schools where there is no
whipping and little or no fighting are
freest from that coarseness which is
so invariably allied to meanness, ly-
ing, and dishonesty. I had about two
thousand children in the public
schools of Philadelphia pass under my
teaching, and never met with but one
instance of direct rudeness. There
was also only one of dishonesty or
theft; and that was by fighting boy,
who looked like miniature pugilist.
PHILADELPHIA manners were formed
by Quakers. When I visited in 1884
certain minor art-work classes estab-
lished in the East End Of London, Mr..
Walter Besant said to me that would
find less gentle set of pupils. In
fact, in the first school which I exam
ined the girls had, the week before,
knocked down, kicked, and trampled
on an elderly lady who had come to
teach them art work out of pure be-
nevolence. I am often told that
whipping put an end to garroting. If
this be true, which it is not (for gar
roting was merely temporary fancy,
which died out in America without
whipping), it only proves that the
garroters, who were all fighting and
boxing roughs, were mere towards.
Red Indians never whip children, but
they will die under torture without a
groan.'
