LITTLE E HOUSE,
The Famous Home of ell
Hawthorne VIII BE Restored.

hhSN ~ -
The Little Red House" in which Nath-
aniel Hawthorne wrote ''Tanglewood Tales"
1.-THE House of Seven Gables" and other
stories, is to be restored. For many years
the house, which is situate on the shore OF
Stockbridge Bowl, near the northwestern
end, has been closed to the public.
A year or two ago there came such a de-
sire from the society and literary people to
see it, that it was put in charge OF an old
out the summer and autumn season. The
house was destroyed by fire some time ago
and all that remains is the foundation and
a part of the old-fashioned chimney. 1t IS
on the south side of the highway, leading to-
ward Stockbridge from Lenox.
Many relics, pieces of brick and stone from
the foundation, are carried away every year
by the numerous curiosity seekers. There
are people now living who know when the
house was finished, and there are records
showing the. room in which Hawthorne
wrote his famous works while living there.
There are several famous houses within a
radius of a few miles, including the Plunkett
House in Pittsield, which Longfellow made
famous by his poem, the "Old Clock on the
Stairs the house of Herman Melville, now
OF formerly owned by Colonel Lathers, of
New York; 1.-The Perch" where Fanny
Kemble resided in Lenox; the Sedgwlck
Mansion in Stockbridge, and the Bryant
House in Great Darlington. All these are
standing. The people feel that a restoration
of the Little Red House, would be a valu-
able and interesting addition to the number

HAToHING OF A PYTHON.
A Rare Event witnessed in the LetP.

A Rare Event Witnessed In the LekPs
zig Geological Garden.
A correspondent at Hamburg, writing OF
July IS, says:-The python lately brought to
the Geological Gardens, in Leipzig, COM
pleted its work of Matching its eggs on the
10th inst, This and a second sitting python
the Indian species, Python molurus Linne)
were received a few weeks ago at Hamburg
by the proprietor of the Leipzig Gardens.
They were sent to Leipsig carefully packed
in chests, but one of them, disturbed by the
jolting of the train, left her place on her
eggs, and they were destroyed. The other
python, who had laid several dozen of eggs,
as big as goose eggs and covered with a
thick leathery skin, remained lying upon
them in a pyramidal coil, at the apex of
which protruded her head. Both pythonS
were unusually angry, and tried to shoot
fol tn their heads through every opening Of
the chest, uttering low kissing cries. On the
fourth of this month the first young snake
of the successfully Matched brood began to
appear, creeping out between the coils of the
python mother.
Every day more appeared, until, on the
tenth, when the mother at last left her long
continued position, there were more than
thirty young snakes. They were as thick as
q mans thumb, about two feet long, and ex-
q~uisitely marked, their light color contrast
ing strongly with the dark brown of their
mother. The empty G G slit in a remark
able manner, looked ike a heap of fat
leather pockets or bags. The young
pvthons, which at first resembled q
Medusa's head, began to creep away
from their mother, some lying in a
tangled heap under the blanket, some
twisted separately into a small knot in the
corners of the chest. The mother had not
taken any nourishment up to the time of the
report 1 quote from, which was sent to the
Hamburger Correspondent of today, refus-
ing even the fat rabbit offered her, but on
the 10th instant, when she had completed her
work, she eagerly drank a basin full of
water. Strange to say, the other python,
whose eggs were destroyed by her forsaking
her position, has gone hlind Fhe Matching
rare occurrence, but the place the mother
was kept in the Leipzig Geological Gardens
is tropically hot. The occurrence proves the
truth of the belief that it takes about two
months to hatch such creatures.-Cincinnati

ono Warranto for the Senate,

Governor Werts' plan of testing the
status of the Republican Senate by a
writ of quo aoa2YGnto is certainly
startling at first sight; but, on ex-
animation, it may be a much palmer
course than at first appears.
The stumbling block that occurs to
everyone is the provision of the Con-
stitution which makes the Senate
Judge OF the election and qualification
of its own members. No court, We
are told, could or would intermeddle
in the presence of such a provision.
But this is not perhaps the thing
that the Governor proposes. The quo
aoarranto may not be against a Sem
ator or an alleged Senator; but
against a Senate or rather an alleged
Senate.
It is the Constitution of the whole
body as a body that the writ may
assail. The issue to be determined may
be as to whether the aggregation of
eleven men has any legal existence as
a Senate. and consequently as to
whether it has a right to pass on ere
dentials, enact laws, or occupy a
in the State House.
The two propositions are very
different, the testing of the status
of the alleged Senate as a body cor
porate, SO to speak, and the testing OF
the right of any individual to sit in
it. Any lawyer will see the difference
at once. 1t is as great as would be
a difference between a suit to test the
censtitutionality Of the act under
which the Board of Finance of this
city is erected, and a suit to test the
title of any citizen claiming to hold
an appointment TO serve as a member
of that Board.
Governor Werts is a lawyer, clean
down to the ground. He is noted
among lawyers as one of the ablest
practitioners In the State. Nobody
understands the mechanism OF the
law and of legal procedure better than
he. 1t is not to be thought OF that he
would map out a method of bringing
an issue into court which was not
competent and consistent with the
Constitution. If this is his idea, there
fore, to bring the whole alleged Sem
ate into court as n bedy on quo
| Waga'd4sto proceedings, however novel
the idea. it may be assumed to be
practicable.
1t seems probable that the Cover
nor has hit on just the one possible
plan to get a speedy adjudication
upon the pending controversy. We
hope SO. at any rate.

The leading article in the February num-
Der, entitled. pheasant Life in Picarcdy," is
by Helen Evertson Smith, and is profusely

gives the conclusion of General Roses re-

men from Libbey Prison. The short stories
of the issue are excellent and the poems ex-
ceptionally fine. ''Germs and the Germ

D0RsAY AND LADY HOLLAND.

A story going the rounds is one told of the
famous Count d'Orsay. On the occasion of
his first visit to England, while he was very
young, very handsome, and not easily dis
concerted, he CHANGED to be seated at dinner
next to the brilliant and Singular Lady Hol-
land. That remarkable and many-sided
woman was in, as it happened, one of her
imperious humors, and her young neighbor
soon felt its weight. She dropped her nap
kin; the Count picked it up gallantly; then
often her neighbor stopped and restored the
lost article. AT last, however, the patience
of the youth gave way, and on her dropping
her napkin again, he turned and called one
of the footmen behind him. sPut my plate
on the ioor," said he, II will finish my din
ner there; it will be so much more eonven-
lent to my Lady Holland. n-EeeRing Wis

the inactivity of the Chinese coal
mines needs a more circuitous process
of demonstration. If we apprehend
his meaning Alright, he considers that
low wage earnings in China-com-
bined, perhaps, with oriental despot-
ism-have SO reduced the working
population in physical capacity, in
mental activity and in energy of will,
that they cannot be used advantage
ously in the work of coal mining, with
its terrible physical strain and its I'M
ceasing demands upon the courage,
acute observation and trained judg-
ment of the operatives.
Considering the circumstances. if
they are just as Mr.. Miller states, it is
marvellous that some California capt.
talists have not secured concessions,
bought up coal lands, imported white
labor and made vast fortunes out of
supplying steam vessels in the orient
with fuel, as we'll as by introducing
coal into general use in a country
where fuel is the dearest of all COM
modes.

Tariff and Wages-Mr. Joseph Dana
Miller's Letter.

Mll1eTSS LeLtGEs
We print a letter of considerable
length today from Mr.. Joseph Dana
Miller, who very clearly and succinctly
shows that, as a matter of experience,
tariffs have little effect on wages
wlile their effects on commercial
movement are generally the reverse
of those assumed by protection the
orists. Low wages do not necessarily
mean cheap labor. Wages are
controlled mainly by the law of sup
ply and demand and the average cost
of Iiving. The cost of labor is mainly
a matter of intelligence and will
power. Brains, energy and self re-
spect are cheaper at any rate OF wages
than half starved idiocy and slavish
indifference at the price OF mere rice
and tea.
1t may seem to some persons thai
Mr.. Miller pushes his ideas to ex-
tremes when he says that tariffs abso-
lutely result in low wages. Yet this
is actually the case. We nave seen
the operation performed in this coun-
try and this State in the case of the
posters. The manufacturers in this
industry, having secured a tariff rate
which completely shut out foreign
ware, thus giving them control of the
market, proceeded TO grind the
faces of their employees. The men
were helpless. They struck. of course.
They staid out many long weeks.
But the bosses only laughed. They
could wait. Indeed they were glad
to wait for, by the time the men
were starved into submission, and
were ready to accept the "pauper
wages the retailers were pretty sure
to be down to bare shelves. and the
consequent run on the potteries
would give an opportunity for in
ereasing prices, and, so, a little o
profit might be raked in at both ends.
OF course, with European comDsti-
ton, the pottery trust could not have
stood the strike for a week. They
should keep on paying any reason
able wages their men might demand,
lest they should lose their grip on the
market. This little example illus.
trates the truth stated by Mr.. Miller
that the high tariff are the low wage
countries. and that continental pro-
tectionists, differing from our menda-
cious NJ Kinleyites, delibe rately argue
for high duties because they opera te
to keep wages down.
