n to ten years ago. 3. It was in this condition that the city was, as it turned the milestone of 1885, and faced toward 1886. It had had a glorious past. That past was such as to make it all alive with noblest civic and ethical impulses. That pisdom of the permanent exclusion of the saloon, that they acceded to this request. The same kind of campaign as that of 1886, only much further perfected in its details, was waged that year; and, though the conflict was tremendous, and each side polled nearly 1400 more votes than in 1886, the saloon was beaten the second year by the identical majority, 566, which had first abolished it. Then those very saloon-keepers, who had boastfully held on to their leases, hastened to get rid of them, anng now the resume which I have given of the most distinctive movement, in civic directions, which has marked our city from 1886 until this present, a few words require to be added about the relation of all this to the larger life of Cambridge.

he college were nevertheless judicious; for land within this region has been repeatedly bought back at prices less than those for which it was sold by the college with compound interest at five per cent. computed thereon. Of the land procured for the Botanic Garden in 1818, nearly all still remains in the possession of the college, the missing area having been taken for widening streets. Across Garden Street from the Botanic Garden more than 600,000 feet of land were bought between 1841 and 1886 for the purposes of the Observatory; but nearly one half of that area was subsequently sold. The land on which College House now stands was acquired in six parcels between 1772 and 1806, one parcel having been devised by Judge Lee, and the others having been bought. The acquisition of land by the President and Fellows has been going on gradually all through the existence of the institution, but with different degrees of activity. The first lands acquired were the western part of the Coll

This emphatic testimony is supported by the experience of Radcliffe College. Our record

66 girls, and in September, when the school opened, 31 more. In 1864 the high school moved into its third home at the corner of Broadway and Fayette Street,—at that time one of the best equipped and most elegant schoolhouses in the State. In 1886, the high school was divided, its classical department becoming the Cambridge Latin School, and its remaining departments the Cambridge English High School. The Latin School was transferred to the Lee Street church, which had been fitted up to re of the decade, it may be quietly added in passing, will also see Old Cambridge once more in possession of that secondary instruction whose transfer from her borders she so strenuously opposed from 1838 to 1848.

prevent the necessary discipline from falling into a lifeless routine, alike deadening to the spirit of teacher and pupil. It is further my intention to take the immediate charge of the instruction in Physical Geography, Natural History, and Botany, giving a lecture daily, Saturdays excepted, on one or other of these subjects, illustrated by specimens, models, maps, and drawings. Louis Agassiz, His Life and Correspondence. Edited by Elizabeth Cary Agassiz. Boston: Houghton, Mifflin & Co., 1886, pp. 525-529. Jules Marcou, in his life of Agassiz, says that Mrs. Agassiz had the whole management of the school; everything was referred to her as director. She took the directorship of Agassiz's school in a masterly way, and succeeded admirably. She herself did not teach, but everything regarding the teaching came under her supervision. As the fees were high, the school was a very select one, and pupils came from different parts of the United States, even from as far west as St. Lou

pying four and a half columns. The paper was successful, in a moderate degree, from the first, but Mr. Reid was in poor health and died January 4, 1847, and the Chronicle passed into the possession of Mr. John Ford, in February of that year. In January, 1855, the office was removed to the corner of Main and Temple streets, and in 1858 Mr. George Fisher purchased the Chronicle and conducted it until 1873, when he sold the property to Mr. Linn Boyd Porter, under whose charge it remained until 1886, when it was purchased by Mr. F. Stanhope Hill. Four years later, in 1890, Mr. Hill bought the Tribune and sold the Chronicle to Mr. F. H. Buffum, but the property returned to Mr. Hill in 1891, and he then sold it to the present proprietors, J. W. Bean and C. B. Seagrave, who have since added a job printing establishment to the plant and made it a prosperous business enterprise at 753 Main Street. In April, 1866, Mr. James Cox, a practical printer in Boston, established the Cambridge Press

nt out with him. Some members remained in the old house, but the church, acting as a church in a religious point of view, having the ordinances administered and other religious offices performed, went out with the pastor. There were, then, under the decision of the Supreme Court, the church as a purely religious organization, and that connected with the parish. These have remained distinct, though the relations between them are friendly. They join in the annual Thanksgiving service, and in 1886 united in celebrating the organization of the one church in 1636. The history has been traced to this point with some detail, because it is continuous for two hundred and sixty years, and the church has lived and grown with the village and town and city. The separation of church and parish took place while the meetinghouse of 1756 was the common home. It was a famous building. Of this house President Quincy wrote: In this edifice all the public Commencements and solemn inaugurations, duri

f the sun, and a free course for the very desirable southwestern breezes of summer. The river front effectually prevents all dust from that quarter. In process of time the number of wards must be increased, and for this purpose all the nine acres of area may be required. The buildings of the hospital consist of a central or administration building, two separate wards, one for men and one for women, and a separate building for the care of cases of contagious disease. The hospital was opened for the reception of patients in 1886, and since that time nearly 3000 sick persons have been cared for within its wards. When full the hospital has accommodations for fifty patients. The buildings and land have cost more than $100,000. The annual cost for maintenance of the establishment has been for the past few years nearly $20,000, a sum of money considerably beyond the income of the invested funds of the institution; the deficit is made good by the gifts of the people of Cambridge.

Kinsley Post 113 of Boston, aided by Captain John S. Sawyer and Lieutenant John H. Webber, obtained signatures for a new Post in Cambridge. The application for a charter was signed largely by men who, for various reasons, had never joined the order, and by a few who had dropped out of it. A preliminary meeting was held in St. George's Hall, Hyde's Block, Main Street, Thursday evening, January 6, 1887, when the name of John A. Logan was agreed upon
