time Ripley decided to buy the farm from which the organization took its name, and to make himself responsible for its management and success. In April of the next year, with his wife and sister and some fifteen others, he took possession of the farm-house and out-buildings already on the estate. The first six months were spent in getting started, and in organizing the Brook Farm Institute of Agriculture and education, which constituted the special attraction to Dana, who joined late in September and took part in forming the articles of association, getting subscriptions to the stock, and in electing the officers of the institute. The par value of the shares was fixed at five hundred dollars each, of which Dana took three and Ripley three; the rest, in all twenty-four shares, were taken by various others, including Nathaniel Hawthorne, in lots of one, two, and three shares. The favorite number seems to have been three. Of the entire amount subscribed only one third was actuall

sion in after life, but, like the French Assembly, ultimately came to look upon them as visionary and impracticable. Dana spent the whole of July, August, and September (1848), or something over three months, at the French capital, much of the tine in close attendance on the meetings of the Assembly, where the principal businessties and perils are more gigantic, and individuals cannot tower above them. And yet Dana continued to attend the Assembly and to report its proceedings. His September letters constitute a condensed but comprehensive summary of the discussions which took place over the provisions of the new constitution, whether in the press orvery honest suggestion for the improvement of the human lot, no matter from what source it came or who stood forth as its champion. It was about the middle of September that Louis Napoleon was elected a member of the National Assembly, in five departments by overwhelming majorities. The event was full of interest to Dana, and

the American flag afloat in that trade, but now classed it among other unjustifiable schemes, of which there were many, for robbing the national treasury of its surplus. Early in April, 1855, Greeley went to Europe, and remained absent till September. On his return he made arrangements to represent the paper in Washington, and thus Dana was left in actual charge during most of the year. He was therefore mainly responsible for its course on all public questions. His opinions are made knowound. Don't mention the scheme, as Bayard wouldn't like it known if he is disappointed. Good-bye, old fellow, and send me word a week before you write another article, so that I can prepare for it. Pike, First Blows of the Civil War. In September he wrote for the Tribune: Kansas will soon be either a free or a slave State, and her fate decides that of many which are to come after her. Mexico, Cuba, and Central America proper, the raw material for at least a dozen Skates, are all p

mediless destruction preceded by years of the bitterest shame, and this we must acknowledge without shrinking, avoid with the forethought of the wise, strive against with the valor of the brave. That the first of the above paragraphs is Greeley's, and the last Dana's, is evident from their form as well as from their substance. The paper immediately after the defeat at Bull Run took strong ground in favor of reorganizing the cabinet, and continued to support such a reorganization till September, when the President declared that it was his firm belief that the public service could not be improved, and would be probably weakened by any change in the cabinet. Thereupon the Tribune changed its tone, and asserted that the time and strength devoted to effecting a change in the cabinet might be more profitably employed. While it is not positively known who was responsible for this change of attitude, it was doubtless Greeley. On the other hand, a few days later, the paper published

o, have assured me that no efforts will be wanting on their part to establish the prosperity of the new concern, and I see no reason to doubt that I shall be able not only to make a livelihood there, but to gain a political position in many respects agreeable as well as useful. At any rate, if this anticipation is not realized, it will not be for want of exertion and industry on my part. As I said, I shall go to Chicago soon after July 1st; the family, however, will not move there before September or October. Their design is to spend the summer somewhere in Vermont or New Hampshire, though this is still vague and partly undetermined, except in the case of Zoe, who is going to Conway, near the White Mountains, to spend the month of July with some friends from New York. Of course we shall take a house in Chicago, and when you go there, there will always be a room ready for you. The great event here has been the grand review of last week.

ts, his fatal disregard of law, his petty foreign policy, and his deplorable failure to represent the sentiment and to promote the manifest destiny of the country. This was preceded by a severe condemnation of United States Marshal Barlow for resisting his own arrest, under the advice of the President, who had written him a personal letter authorizing and requesting him to defy the processes and officers of the State courts, no matter under what pretext they might assume to act. In September of that year a conspiracy was formed by men both inside and outside of Wall Street to raise the price of gold, whereupon the Sun called upon the Treasury Department to block the game of this unscrupulous ring, and this was done, mainly through the President's own intervention, on what came to be known as Black Friday. The story of that memorable day, involving as it did many distinguished names, has never been fully told, but one of its consequences was to call forth a letter from General
