young woman of twenty-two, inspired by these few examples. When one thinks how little an American author finds in the influences around him, even now, to chasten his style or keep him up to any high literary standard, it is plain how very little she could then have found. Accordingly Hobomok seems very crude in execution, very improbable in plot, and is redeemed only by a certain earnestness which carries the reader along, and by a sincere attempt after local coloring. It is an Indian Enoch Arden, with important modifications, which unfortunately all tend away from probability. Instead of the original lover who heroically yields his place, it is to him that the place is given up. The hero of this self-sacrifice is an Indian, a man of nigh and noble character, whose wife the heroine had consented to become, when almost stunned with the false tidings of her lover's death. The least artistic things in the book are these sudden nuptials, and the equally sudden resolution of Hobomok

for contests which concerned principles and policies, he had no taste for those which concerned only the individual or sectional claims of candidates. No urgency of persuasion would have moved him to leave his seat in the Senate in order to attend a national political convention. Sumner arrived at home, July 17. He passed a week early in August with Longfellow at Nahant, where the air, the breeze, the sea were kindly, and where on the piazza they read together Tennyson's last volume, Enoch Arden, enjoying it more than air or breeze or sea. Later in the month he was for a few days at Newport. At a dinner at William Beach Lawrence's he met Lord Airlie, who recorded in his diary Sumner's remarks on the speeches of English statesmen, our Civil War, and other topics,—extracts from which, without Lord Airlie's authority, appeared in the Scotsman, Jan. 7, 1865. Both Sumner and Lord Airlie were annoyed by the publication. Lord Airlie and his brother-in-law, E. Lyulph Stanley, who

ch has been to me as the green pasture and the still water, the shadow in a weary land. And the stranger went his way; but the lady and her lover, in all their after life, and amidst the trials and persecutions which they were called to suffer in the cause of truth, remembered with joy and gratitude the instructions of the purehearted and eloquent William Penn. David Matson. Published originally in our young folks, 1865. who of my young friends have read the sorrowful story of Enoch Arden, so sweetly and simply told by the great English poet? It is the story of a man who went to sea, leaving behind a sweet young wife and little daughter. He was cast away on a desert island, where he remained several years, when he was discovered and taken off by a passing vessel. Coming back to his native town, he found his wife married to an old playmate, a good man, rich and honored, and with whom she was living happily. The poor man, unwilling to cause her pain and perplexity, resol

As he was an actor of considerable note we will not challenge this statement, but let Medford have the glory given her of having produced another genius within her borders. His first appearance on the stage was as Stephen in The Hunchback at the National Theater, Boston, August 29, 1853. His career is too well known, and accounts of his life and work are so easily accessible that we give but a few facts concerning him. He played in many cities in this country, and went to Australia. Enoch Arden and Shakespeare's characters were his favorite roles. He was associated with Edwin Booth in the latter's theater in New York, and played with him in the Boston Theater in 1870. He was considered one of the best light comedians on the stage. His voice was of wonderful richness, strength and melody. His wife was also an actress and dancer, but on the death of her husband retired from the stage. He died in Philadelphia, October 25, 1877. A friend has described to me his house at Long B

Mr. Henry Lafoce, in a letter to the London Times, says: "I must positively contradict the assertion that Captain Semmes was a passenger in the Laurel. A United States man-of-war went in pursuit of the Laurel for the purpose of apprehending Captain Semmes, who has been pronounced a prisoner of war." The American advices received per the steamship North American had no particular effect in England. It is stated that the English poet laureate has already cleared ten thousand pounds by "Enoch Arden and other Poems." Mrs. Alfred Tennyson, the laureate's wife, has published a song of her own composing. A young bride of eighteen, in Marseilles, was burned to death on the morning of her marriage by treading on a match, which ignited and set her clothes on fire. Louis Napoleon is trying the "Banting" system for the reduction of corpulence. Alexander Dumas is coming to the United States. Late Paris fashions represent the ladies wearing coat tails a yard long.

d is announced, by Mr. W. Simcox, in hexameter verse, in which the names of deities and heroes are given in the spelling of the original, so far as it has been found possible. Two new poems will be included in the eight monthly parts of selections shortly to be published from Mr. Tennyson's works. One will be entitled "The Captain," the other "To a Mourner." The Poet Laureate (Tennyson) lately read "Maud" before a select and very limited audience in London. Mr. Tennyson's "Enoch Arden" has had an unusually extensive sale in South Australia. Each leading bookseller at Melbourne received a large number of copies of the volume, and sold the whole within a few hours after the arrival of the mail. Sir Gardner Wilkinson, an old Harrovian, has presented his collection of Egyptian antiquities to the Harrow School Library. A London publisher has reprinted, under the common title of "The Nile Basin," two papers hostile to Captain Speke's claims as a great Nilotic disc
