well directed by good intelligence. school for citizenship Is great desidera- ton in every city, not least in this that s destined to so great expansion. A great beginning has been made in sev- eral directions, dependent for its impulse on private philanthropy, and that is, of course, the inevitable way. But only by the best intelligence of the whole com munity harnessing itself to every social need can the mastery be won. It is being won. Thousands of those who would have been lost to the common veal are being anointed as it's benefactors. The goal we seek, whether In Rochester, Milwaukee. Chicago or Birmingham, is kind of spiritual unity of the individ- ual, the home. the child, the parent, the community and its inheritance, in the task of securing for all the benefits of discipline, health and what the great Professor Seeley long ago called "the en- thusiasm of humanity" This Is that charity which has long been known in part as common sense.
 It is the social institution saving itself, mankind protecting It's common body, the awakening of politicians to the discovery that philanthropy is only justice. Evidently. therefore, we must come to recognize that civilization Is a great deal more than what we call institutions or laws. The institutions are at fault, the laws grossly incom- plete. Even home and parental author ity and the church and the police and the school are insufficiently articulated to do their work as 1t must be done when civilization is complete. These laws and institutions are perhaps even the least part of modern civilization. Beyond them is the spirit and convic- tion of the people. Beyond them Is the vast field of social freedom, social im- pulse, the social nexus. That son of tn e English aristocracy who was haunted

But the controlling factor in the situation is our natural sub-conscious spirit, and that is always sound and just.

 The quaint little summer cottages, looking like mere doVe-cots, interest us very much. Many of these contain only a living room and piazza, with small bed roomS above. Their inmates take their meals at the hotels nearby, or at boarding tables, and spend most of their time out of doors, sailing, bathing, walking on the beach, or sitting on their piazzas Their living rooms are used when the weather is unfavorable.
 One lady seemed delighted to show us through her new doll-like house.

Overhead is moderate sized bedroom, with three closet-like bedrooms under the caves of the steep roof. Each room has a dormer window, a single bed chair and a dressing table. I asked her if the little rooms under the caves did not sometimes become over-heated. Not at all'' she says, 'It Is always so coo

driftwood from some wrecked vessel. Over the door of one we see a white board with "The City of Columbus" painted in large black letters on 1t. We are told that 1t was a part of the ill., fated steamer which bore this name, and some years ago left Boston for Florida crowded with passengers. They were overtaken by a terrific blizzard. The captain was asleep and the mate attempt- ed to cut short the course of the vessel for the Gay Head landing. She struck the reefs just off the coast and was cap sized. As the passengers rushed on deck they were swept into the raging sea. Only the captain and a sailor were saved two days afterwards by the efforts of the In- dians, who braved the storm and took them off while clinging with frozen hands and feet to the mast of the submerged vessel.
 In connection with the wreck, we hear of a beautiful tribute paid to the Chris tian religion. The bodies recovered were sent to the morgue in New Bedford. A gentleman viewing them, pointed to the face of lady and said: "She was a

When Congress convened in second session in December, 1876, the political paramount had shifted and the issue was the rape of the presidency by the party of Great Moral Ideas" Randall was g. Tilden man, and that made him the logical candidate for speaker. aside from the fact that he had killed Ben Buffers force bill that meant that the south should be domi- mated by the negro and ruled by the bay onet.
 And so Randall got to be speaker, and he was a great speaker, and a czar in the chair. He had a will of iron. I one day saw him adjourn a sitting of the House when 70 per cent of the members present were for continuing the sitting, and they applauded him, too, when he refused the demand for division.
 I will repeat thrice-told tale. Randall beat Joe Blackburn for speaker of the Forty-sixth Congress. He made Fernan- do Wood, free trader, chairman of ways

man, and had Morrison been President and Henry c. Turner chief justice all would, have been well. Morrison was made for President and Turner for chief justice.
 And speaking of Turner, the first time ever met him he administered to me a deserved rebulxe and for that I thank his memory. I had read his speech in the Hurd case, and the opening passage of 1t is worthy the grandest orator who ever spoke our togne. One night I took an avenue horse car to go to the Capitol when there was a night session. Judge Turner was on board, and I took seat beside him. It was bitter cold and I gave expression to an impatience that was em- phasized by an expletive.
 Now. Turner did not know me from Adam, but in the kindest manner he put his hand on my shoulder and admonished me that there were ladies in the car. I never was so much humiliated. I tried to
