THE NEWLANDMARKs OF BOSTON.

In these days or progress even Bos-
ton with its renowned ancient land
marks is making new era for its self
in every line. We will never forget
the history connected with the build
ing of Bunker Hill Monument, and
while every generation will visit and
perhaps climb this memorable shaft,
likewise the people for years to come
will pay tribute to that marvellous and
time saving institution, but read of it
time and again and you can form but
a vague idea of it's magnitude nor the
convenience which the public derives
from it. Boston's old buildings stood
foremost as structures like Trinity,
the New Old South, The Public Libra
nv and the Ames and fremont build
ings and score of lofty sky scrapers,
SO called, stand as gigantic monu-
ments perpetuating the present cent
ury as one of present advancement.
Likewise remember the barn-like and
uncomfortable playhouses and COM
pare them with the palatial and COM
Portable theatres Of today, land in
theatres Boston has no equal. The
million and half playhouse of Keith's
is magnificent in every detail, and the
entertainment is the best money can
provide. One of Boston's most ia
nous educational institutions is the
Food Fair which is in session at Me-
chanics Building; here is to be found
everything petaining to food prod
ucts, their manufacture and uses.
Besides the elaborate and pleasing
displays of foods there is connected
with the exhibition a household insti-
tute, and the knowledge to be gained
from attendance upon it can hardly
be estimated. Following custom
adopted some years ago the Boston &
Maine Railroad has arranged for low
rate fall excursions to Boston from
all points of the system. The rates
are exceptionally low, and the limits
on the the tickets are of sufficient
length to allow patrons to partici-
pate in the pleasures and enioymentss
as only Boston can offer. There will
an excursion on Thursday, Oct. 81,
from all stations between Newport end
Wells River, inclusive. Inquire of
ticket agent for bills and information.

The Hawthorne Letters.

The letters OF Mrs. Hawthorne, edited by
Rose Hawthorne Lathrop, have peculiar
charm not often found in such personal
"reminiscences. The craze for more knowl-
edge of great man S life frequently brings
out unsavory details and makes his adrni-
rers feel sad. 1t is as Emerson said, you
cannot know man by getting into his
house"
But here is the exception which proves
the rule 1t has been sometimes thought
that the political difficulties which caused
Hawthorne 20 be removed from his position
in the custom house left him moody, sour
and disappointed man. This was not the
case IL would be rather strange if the shy
genius, brooding and interpretive as he
was, had been just the man for that Gus
tom house position; it would have been
quite as strangeif, with his devotion to the
position to embitter his life. Undoubtedly
q sensitive MAJ is Saddened when he knows
that he has failed TO support his family
in the way which his neighbors think
proper: but he does not fret forever over
il, especially if success comes to him by
his own path later on. And Mrs Haw-
thorne's letters prove cenclusively that re-
served and silent as Hawthorne usually
was to the outside world, ne was the en-
bodimeat of gayety and happy tenderness
in his own home His children were de
voted 70 him, and he was their sunshine
Much of this happiness in his life was
doubtless due to the woman ne married.
Herself an artist, whose health forbade her
continuing her work, she never allowed adj
versity to conquer her. She not only en-
dured, but defied it. More than that, she
made it the subject OF all sorts of playful
humors, aud he was without doubt Just the
wife Nathaniel Hawthorne needed.

he does not 20 outside his own town,
But there is a serious and thoughtful side
TO the story, when one reflects how few
honest and Intelligent men there are out
side prisons who know anything about for
eign languages, unless, OF course, they are
foreigners. The chances are that man
may work hard all Ills life, resist tempta-
ton, pay all his debts, and behave himself
as well as he knows how, and yet, If he
should go TO South America, he wouldn't
tie worth his salt. He would not know how
to ask for a ham sandwich or sedlitz
powder so that he could he understood.
Then here comes along the gentleman fIom

Why should il pauperize man TO get n
little help outside Jail, and why doesn't it
pauperize him to be supported at the public
expense because he has been stealing
sheep? Can anybody tell? Some people
are proposing a reformatory measure for
jails which will remedy the idleness by
keeping the man at work on road mending
or something of that kind, and saving up
his wages for him. so that when he comes
out of incarceration he will have something
to begin life The only difficulty wi th this
is. that while it would be a grand thing
for the criminal, it will make every work
ing for some sort of job TO support his
wife and children, feel as if he wanted
to murder somebody and get put in Jail
for life, where he would be sire of working

More Like Pence.

The much-feared action of the Greek
terday; the celebration of Grecian indie
pendence day passed off without serious
incident; and, as consequence, it may
be said that the prospects for European
peace are better today than they have
appeared at any time since King Georges
army of occupation landed at Crete.
much strengthened by evidence that its
policy is not to be at the mercy of
revolutionary society, and this fact will
give new weight to i is representations and
reasonable demands before the court Of
European opinion. The danger of an I'M
authorized and spontaneous crusade Of
the Greek race and faith against Turkey,
apparently being over, the more moderate
counsels OF the great financial power,
acting in unison with the English and
French governments, now viii have and
seize the opportunity FOR effective action.
What this journal several days ago pre-
dicted, seems about to happen. If our by
pothesls was correct, Russia will be dip
lomatioaliy isolated, because England,
France and Italy viii act together, while
the financial magnates Of the continent
Will tie able TO neutral;ze Germany and
Austria. That being the case, Russia
viii have to accept the Western solution
or go into a gigantic struggle with prac-
ticaIly all Europe against her. 1t is not
deemed probable that the Cars govern
ment is prepared 10 take such a risk.
The settlement is likely to take the form
OF practically complete autonomy for
Crete, under a Christian Prince nominated
by the Powers, the Sultan retaining mere
ly shadow of suzerainty. Turkish and
Greek forces VIII be Withdrawn. There
after Greece may receive mandate from
the Concert to occupy the island; but
il is more probable that the mandate will

Joint occupation and pacificatiOn, under
a guarantee OF WITHDRAW wal as soon as the
conditions of the territory admit Of its
peaceful and equitable control by the Lew

Unless unexpected complications sholld
arise, this is about what may be looked
for.

Diana Vaughan.

One of the New York papers comes out
with blazing headline as to The saint
lest Man and the Wickedest Woman in
| America The sainthest man is supposed
to be a Catholic priest, Father Neumann.
| Perhaps he is the sainthest man in Amer
lea at any rate, he is very good. But the
woman is a most peculiar creature Her
maine is Diana Vaughan, and she is said
TO manifest attributes clearly inspired by
the devil. In fact, she worships that not
very scientifically known individual, and
heard her talk would probably call her a
raving lunatic. But the idea is that she
is wicked. Ithas not been ascertained that
she has murdered anybody or committed
| highway robbery. or that she is klepto-
maniac or OF immoral character, or a siam
derer, or a legal criminal OF any kind.
But because she claims to be possessed by
the devil sheis dubbed the wick edest W ON
an in America. Her hysterical imag
or very spicily wicked They are more
like some sort of pipe dream But they
are printed with a long preface of shud-
dering horror.
Now, this behavior on the part Of the
New York paper, and of several other
papers that have copied it, will have only
just where this lady with the bad name,
this dark, mysterious, fiendish Luci-
ferian person is going to do any harm, for
she certainly could not make any converts
10 her peculiar creed. 1t is not attractive
enough, as she describes it. But the ac-
count Of her experiences will be just the
sort of litera ture TO get some hysterical,
eXcitable girl, with a superstitous ten
dency, into the fidgets. Then there will
be another Diana Vaughan; and tits posi-
BILE that some of the women W hose imagina-
tions are stirred up about her may be
of really dangerous temperament and
may commit crimes. 1t takes very little
to send a certain type of woman over the
brink of nervous irntabihty into an in
sane asylum. She may be perfectly sane
all her life, if she is protected and cared
for, and her lot is reasonably tranquil;
and it is certainly better that she should
be. But if she happens to be morbid, and
reads about this hysterical woman's SUI
perstitioUs rawlings, and gets to thinking
that she herself is tempted OF the devil
she may yield to a sudden impulse and
spoil her whole life. What is the use of
such journalism? What posi- BILE good
does it do to make a newspaper a charla-
tan medical report? And Of what pos
sible use is it to take the claims of
crazy person seriously, especially in mat
tiers of religion?
