e magazine for young people during its four years existence (from 1867 to 1870); and published Dream children and Stories from my Attic. Becoming associated with Houghton, Mifflin, and Company, he edited for them the Atlantic Monthly from 1890 to 1898, preparing for it also that invaluable Index, so important to bibliographers; he also edited the American Commonwealths series, and two detached volumes, American poems (1879) and American prose (1880). He published also the Bodley books (8 vols.,d art (1894), besides various books of which he was the editor or compiler only. He was also for nearly six years (1877-82) a member of the Cambridge School Committee; for five years (1884-89) of the State Board of Education ; for nine years (1889-98) of the Harvard University visiting committee in English literature; and was at the time of his death a trustee of Williams College, Wellesley College, and St. John's Theological School, these making all together a quarter of a century of almost un

). During the next two years there appeared six numbers of a striking series called Lyrics of the Street. Most of these poems, with others, were included in a volume called Later Lyrics (1865). She had previously, however, in 1853, published her first volume of poems, entitled Passion flowers ; and these volumes were at a later period condensed into one by her daughters, with some omissions,--not always quite felicitous, as I think,--this definitive volume bearing the name From sunset ridge (1898). Mrs. Howe, like her friend Dr. Holmes, has perhaps had the disappointing experience of concentrating her sure prospects of fame on a single poem. What the Chambered Nautilus represents in his published volumes, the Battie Hymn of the Republic represents for her. In each case the poet was happy enough to secure, through influences impenetrable, one golden moment. Even this poem, in Mrs. Howe's case, was not (although many suppose otherwise) a song sung by all the soldiers. The resound

When I want anything in Boston remedied, said Edward Everett Hale, I go down to the New England Woman's Club! When the General Federation of Women's Clubs was formed in 1892, our mother served on the board of directors for four years, and was then made an honorary vice-president. She was also president of the Massachusetts State Federation from 1893 to 1898, and thereafter honorary president Dr. Holmes once said to her, Mrs. Howe, I consider you eminently clubable ; and he added that he himself was not. He told us why, when he adopted the title of Autocrat of the breakfast-table. The most brilliant of talkers, he did not care to listen, as a good club member must. Now, she too loved talking, but perhaps she loved listening even more. No one who knew her in her later years can forget how intently she listened, how joyously she received info

Chapter 10: the last Roman winter 1897-1898; aet. 78 The city of my love She sits among th' eternal hills, Their crown, thrice glorious and dear; Her voice is as a thousand tongues Of silver fountains, gurgling clear. Her breath is prayer, her life is love, And worship of all lovely things; Her children have a gracious port, Her beggars show the blood of kings. By old Tradition guarded close, None doubt the grandeur she has seen; Upon her venerable front Is written: “I was born a Queen!” She rules the age by Beauty's power, As once she ruled by armed might; The Southern sun doth treasure her Deep in his golden heart of light. Awe strikes the traveller when he sees The'vision of her distant dome, And a strange spasm wrings his heart As the guide whispers: “There is Rome!” And, though it seem a childish prayer, I've breathed it oft, that when I die, As thy remembrance dear in it, That heart in thee might buried lie.

It met with a warm recognition which gave her much pleasure. late in 1899 appeared the reminiscences, on which she had been so long at work. These were even more warmly received, though many people thought them too short. Colonel Higginson said the work might have been spread out into three or four interesting o

On September 12, a notice of the death of William Allen Butler is pasted in the Diary. Below it she writes:-- A pleasant man. I met him at the Hazeltines' in Rome in 1898 and 1899. His poem [Nothing to wear] was claimed by one or two people. I met his father [a Cabinet Minister] at a dinner at the Bancrofts' in New York, at which ex-President Van Buren was also present, and W. M. Thackeray, who said to me across the table that Browning's How they brought the good news was a good jingle.

It is limited to the discussion of the South as a factor in the territorial growth of the United States from the formation of the Union to the end of the Confederm result of all our wars—the acquisition of foreign territory. 2.

the beginning of the war, and large numbers of men were then at work constructing the continuation of that line to the Ohio at the mouth of the Guyandotte. That work is now known as the Chesapeake & Ohio railway. The basin of the Big Kanawha as a whole was one of the most important portions of Virginia, rich in agricultural, forest and mineral wealth, especially coal and salt. The coals which underlie the larger portion of its area were then in demand down the Ohio. In the year of grace 1898, they were. one of the most important factors in the magnificent victories won by the sea power of the United States at Manila and Santiago. The loyal Virginians of that region promptly prepared for home defense by the organization of military companies, and demanded arms and aid from the more thickly settled portions of the State, as their territory was peculiarly vulnerable by way of the Ohio and the navigable waters of the Big Sandy, the Guyandotte and the Big Kanawha. These waterways g

Both of these officers have the invaluable advantage at this moment of knowledge of the ground which is now the scene of operations. Stuart soon became brigadier-general of cavalry, later major-general, and then lieutenant-general, and the famous commander of the cavalry corps of the army of Northern Virginia until he fell in action. Fitz Lee soon became colonel, then brigadier-general, and finally the distinguished leader, as major-general, of a cavalry division in the same army, and in 1898 a famous consulgen-eral of the United States and a major-general in its army in the Cuban war. Jones became colonel, later brigadier-general of cavalry, and fell on the battlefield. General Longstreet, who was in command of the advanced Confederate forces, reported that he had arranged to move a heavy force during the night to cut off the enemy at Lewinsville, but Stuart did not receive his instructions, and himself drove the enemy back to his trenches at once. He added: The affair of
