is YOUR NAME PORTER ?

We are In receipt Of circular letter
from MARTHA L. ROBERTS of Salem,
Mass, asking our kind offices to drum up
the descendants of JOHN PORTER in this
vicinity to attend a grand gathering OF
the PORTER family at Danvers on the
seventeenth Of July next. JOHN PORTER
settled In Danvers in 1644, and the place
OF gathering will be near the site of his
landing and home. Danvers was formerly
Salem Village and was the scene OF the
first outbreak Of the old Puritan witchcraft
delusion Of 1862, and its points OF historic
interest include the old Pago House, upon
whose roof was the famous Revolutionary
tea-party; "The Lindens," where were
Governor GAoE's headquarters; Governor
ENDrcoTT's orchard farm; the old Endi-
colt pear tree; Oak Knoll, the home of
JOHN q. WHITTIER; the birth place
OF General ISRAEL PUTNAM and the
birth place OF that trusted and honored
friend of WASHINGTON, General MOSES
PoRTER-which latter is naturally OF par
ticular interest TO the PORTER family.
We should say reunion of the PORTER
family at old Danvers ought to be an in
t~esting occasion, and the secretary tells
us that she would like any PoRTERs who
fail to receive her informing circular to
send their addresses to her that they may
be included In the invitation.

THAT the Republican League conven-

that convention only 15s, all from silver
producing States, were in the i6 to free

the subject. Informally, the silver issue,
after ample airing, was dropped as hav-

THIS Is DELICIOUS.

MARK TWAIN, wao shows an amazing
faculty for continuing to open up new
channels OF humor, has something in the
North American Review for July which
makes delicious reading to the many
of us who read with mingled irritability
and amusement the pharisaical reviews
by gentlemen like author HowELLs OF
the works OF his predecessors, who were
fortunate enough TO write and be sue
cessful i'm time before we knew what
good fiction ought to be like-according
to the infallible standard OF author
HowELIs' views. MARK TWAIN calls his
article in the Review "Fenimore Cooper's
Literary Offences" and then he discusses
the great romancist after the HowELLs
method OF treatment.
MARK TWAIN appreciates joke, and
author HowEIIs, as a critic OF fiction,
must be source OF great deal of mirth
to the veteran humorist. We think
author HowELLs has vein of humor in
him, too. He used TO have, although 1t
has come to be OF the self-suificient,
patronizing kind, that is not bit charm
ing. We don't know whether MARK
TwAIN's satire will please him or not.
We doubt IL anybody cares whether
author HowELLs is pleased, because
author HowELIs' stock in trade COM
prises good deal of assumed contempt
for other fellows and their feelings.
But, when he reads from the Literary
Offences" that:
"Cooper's gift I'm the way OF invention
was not rich endowment; but such as it
was, he liked to work IL, he was pleased
with the effects, and indeed he did some
quite sweet things with IL. In this little
box of stage properties he kept six or
eight cunning devices, tricks, articles for
his savages and woodsmen to deceive and
circumvent each other with, and he was
never so happy as when he was working
these innocent things and seeing them go.
A favorite one was to make mecca
sined person tread in the tracks of the
moccaslnod enemy, and thus hide his
own trail. COOPER wore out barrels and
barrels of moccasins I'm working that
trick. Another stage-property that he
pulled out of his box pretty frequently
was his broken twig. He priced his bro
ken twig above all the rest of his effects,
and worked II the hardest. IL is rest
full chapter I'm any book OF his when
somebody doesn't step on a dry twig and
alarm oil the reds and whites for two
hundred yards around. Every time
Cooper person Is i'm peril, and absolute
silence Is worth four dollars minute, he
is sure to step on dry twig. There may
be a hundred handler things to step on,
but that wouldn't satisfy COOPER.
COOPER requires him to turn out and find
a dry twig; and II he can't do II, go and
borrow one. In fact the Leather Stocking
Series ought to have been called the
Broken Twig series.
If author HowELIs doesn't look at
himself in the mirror and laugh we shall
be compelled to believe that his is hope
lsse case OF collaboration.
