The ¢ Radical Club”---Dr.Coan on Rephael. - The “Ladies® Commission.--Overhaul- ing of Sunday-School Librarics. Corvespondence of The Chicano Tribuns. Bostox, April 7, 1674 ‘We have heard here the rmors of the exstab- lichment of & Womsn's Club in Chicago, and there are & good many of us who would like to know more than we do of its fortunes and its plans. We have hero a good many clubs to which this usme wight be fairly enough epplied. For there are & good many peculiaritics of Boston life which throw women togother in simple and nataral relations, out of which gro, almost of course, SOME 81T OF CLUB, or society. Indeed, I was epealing, a fow days ago, to & very brilliant lady, who las spent several years in the most active circles of Paris; and, when I 22ked ber if she did not find Boston very quiet after life inParis and Ver- Bnilles, £ho faid, on the contrary, that a wintor in Dosten made the most intense and active lifo tnat ghe bad cver secn or heard of. Foremoet among the little socicties which call together ladies of intelligonce, are the *‘Woman's Club,” the ‘‘Ladies’ Club " (called in joke the * Drains Clul:"), the ** Ladics’ Commission,* the ** Wom- au's Foreign Migsion Society,” the ** Woman's Xducalion Society,” the Society for Home- Studs:" and, indeed, meny of the charities of tho city resolve themselves into nctive and eprecable clubs of thewr managers. The “4rt Club™ beging to receive ladies Bt slate meotings; but, at the oore private meotings, the artists do not like to give up their pipes and cigars, and I believe the tolaceo-swoke acts practically as an edict of ex- clusion. THE “WoMAN'S CLUB " s now an established institution, so sensible und eatisfactory that it is & wonder wa got along without it £6 joog. But I romember very well that, when it was first proposed, tho larger pro- g%mnn of tho nicer people were, very shy of it. 6y were afraid that it might commit them to Hen's Rights, or Womsn's Rights, or Femalo Buffrage, or Coeducation. Six or Beven years bavo settled all that, and it is now recognized as * quite an essential institution. It has pretty rooms in Tremont place, just be- hind tho Tremont House. Here any member can Iook in when sho chooses, leave her parcels, write her notes, meot her friends, wash Ler hands, or have 2 cap of tea. Remember that the Iudics for 50 miles eround Boston come to the city ia do their shopping by the morning-trains, to go home before urcmn;z': and you see at once what a_conveuience the Club-rocms alone are. Every Monday evening tho Club Las a social party in theee eamo roome,—liko any other party sehere the Iady of the house takes o little pains 10 look out for etrangers of distinction, or per- haps for artists who can contribute to the oven- ing's entertainment. he Clab appoints, besides, special commit- fees, for instance, on public charilice, on the smploymment of women, or_similar objects which interest any of the members. Theso commit- 2ees scuro the scrvices of such porsons a8 they think can interest or instruct, and arrangoe for them meotings of the members in the Club- rooms, for informal addressca on_their especial hobbies. This is tho sids of the Club which has specially interested we. Ou such an occasion yon meet fifty or sixtr brizkt people, and, in an (nformal way, hear somebody, who s & little in dvance of the times, give s hint or sketch of gome new plan, or an account of some old evil, or & suggestion for some improvement such as haxdly get into the newswapers or reviews. In fact, the Club does not court publicity, and Tine-tenths of what it does never appears in print. it's officors have perhaps much grander Pplags than I havo deseribed; but the sccount I have given is substantislly the way it improsses us outsiders. The machinery and operation aro 80 kimplo that it gives very good chance for introducing to an sccomplished circle of peopla 20¥ Bew-comer,—in particular such persons ag would disliko the inevitable contrivance which must be if you would secare a large public sadience. TOE ‘*RADICAL CLUB" i8 protty well known by name through the news- paper-reporis. I sec that roporta of the conver- €ations aro quite a staple of Boston letters to the New York papers. You keow it bas no formal organization. Mith a very cherming hospitality, - 2Ir. and Mre, Sargent invite whoever they think would like to come to_their elegant house in Chestnut street, on Monday morning—and, with the eame hospitality, invite some one, generally, but not always, of thie Left Wing—lo resd & pa- rer. Then follows a conversation wholly nnpro- meditated and informsl, sbout tho subject of tho paper. I had the good forfune to bo pfcsunt at tho meeting last Monday. The large parlors were well filled with sbont an equal number of ladies and gentlemen, —perhaps rather more of the former, as is apt . tobo (ho caso with day-meetings of avy kind. Hewover, thero was a ly sprinkling of go tlemen, principally literary or professional,— smong these soveral noted men, sach as Biskiop Ferreite, of whom wo have heard so much the last fow months: also Mr. Crauch, who has- read here several times this winter, and who has now scother essay, which he is to deliver next Satnrany. Tho entertainment on Monday consisted juthe resding of a paper on ‘* BAPHAEL AND IS crrrics,” by Dr. T. W. Coan. - It was cortainly very in- teresting, and was writien in a bright, enter- taining stylo ; but, to one unaccustomed to that sort of thing, it was rather starcing to hear Raphzel hauled over the coals of modern criti- cism in such a very nnceromonious way. Dr. Conn sought to prove that the great painter had but littlo eympathy with Nature, os was ths fault of all the artists of his time and age; that his trces, wator, sky, and avimale, wero all false to Nature; and that ho excelled in nothing but the delineation of the human form, in which lina ho was perfec- tion. Thnie lust assertion gave rise to a lively discussion after the closo of tho rending, which was vastly entertainiug on account of Bome of tho originl ideas which wero advanced. 1 think those progent cawo away with thoir faith a little skaken, perbaps, in tho conventional blind wor- €bip of Raphae), ‘and still more astonisued ot the oxtont of modern daring in venturing to upset the pet theorics we have all entertained so Emg with rogard to the old masters. 1 do not know whether it was intentionat, but, if not, it was & sinzular coincideuce, that this reading should bave taken placo on thio anniver eary of the death of Raphmel, April 6. At any rale, no mention was made of the fact, which T secidentally discovered afterward, To return to clubs in which all the members ) sz ldics, they frequently, of courso, epring tp, without faking tho nama of clubs, from soume practical combination of & namber of intelligent people who havo met togather for & particalar ;rcae:aca} Tarpose.

One of tho lsdics saya: “Tho meetings show varietics of opinion swhick would be atmost droll if thoy were not held and expressed in such entiro goodfaith and friendli- ness, and if they were not the essontial guaran— teo that tho eelection of books is not made ac- cording to any narrow reading of creed. o and €0 is my objection to the book under discussion, says one Iady, all whose words are worth listen- ing to. uctly my resson for approving it,’ comes, with the utmost geutlencss, from tho opposite corner. calling to remembrance a type of excellonce diametrically opposed to that of tho first eposker; and therenpon begins a discussion which is always ccurteous, ofton most interesting, and which is_concluded sometimes by a voto for recousideration, somo- times by a yés aud nay vote, and wondor of won- ders, oceasionally Ly a genuine spproximation of opinion botween ouponcnts " : In suother letter I will {1y to_describe to you the methods of the * Woman's Education Soci~ ety,” of -tho *'Scciety for Promoting Home- Study,” of tho “Betuiday Club,” sud gomo of the Art-Clnsscs, which last, in' their way, are very clever associations. HEywoon. BEAR-HUNTING WITH ALEXANDER 11 Translated for Applelons’ Journal. The presont Emperor of liussia, Alexander II., is in most respocts unlike the rost of Enro- pean sovoreigns, He is neither fond of military pageants, like his uncle, William I. of Germauy; nor doe he like to occupy himwelf with State sifairs, like Francts Joseph of Austria. Vicior Emmanuel’s affability toward the lowly is for- eign {0 Lis haughty, reserved nature; and hisown poople even chargs him with being more of a German than one of their own rece. But in one respect Aloxander 1I. shares the predi- lections of his brother sovereigns: heis & pas- sionate bunter. And in this rospect b i8 a true Russian, too; for his favorite sport, like that of tho truo Muscovites, is neither deer-stalking nor fox-hunting, neither spearing the wild-boar nor following the swift-footod ibex and chamois to their Alpino fastnesses, but bearding the brown bear in midwinter in tho sombre pine-foreats, extending for hundredsof milesin the level and eandy country northeast of the Gulf of Finland. Au interesting account of 8 Tecent boar-bant in that degolato country ia given by a Russian correspondeut of tho Univers Idustre. ** His Majesty,” writes tho corrospondont, & French- man, who had long been in Algoria, “ waa grea! Iy interested, as I was sitting with him in Lis privato cabic, at Tuarkoe-Solo, in my_narrative about our lion-hunts in Africa, Ilo snid he had read Gerard's book on that subject, years ngo, with oxtreme pleesuro, and added that, Lefore ho had asconded the throne, he had frequently {clt greatly tempted to go to Algeris for throe or four months for thesole purpose of hunting the terrible monarchof the desert. **Would yon like to hunt bears with me?” suddenly asked the Czar. ‘When an Emperor.nsks such a guestion, you can never answer it in the negative, oven though you were not, like mysclf, an ardent sportsman. And 8ol cousonted. The Emperor dismiesed me, saring that he could not exactly appoint tho day when the hunt would come off, but promised to give me timely notice. 2 A 'weole passed by, and 1 did not hear from His Majesty. Dut_on 'tho morning of the 16th of November an_itmperis) lackey ok me up in my rooms at the Maison Teleschoff, and banded mo o Ietéer from Baron Holstew, one of the Imperial equerries, in which T was politely requested to répair ot an carly hour on tho moruing of the 19th of November to the Emperors hunting- castle, Norlije, on the bauka of Lake Oncga. T was ugrloug before daybreak on tho sppoint- ed duy. The Morning was bitter cold. At 6 o'clock an Impenal kibitka droveup to the door. Wrapped in my fur robes, and armed with my repeating rifio and_hunting-pouck, I entered the carious vehicle, Off we went at lighbnin]f speed. The ground was frozen, our two small horses wonderfully flect-footed, and it was not yet 9 whon wo arrived at tho Imperial feastle. Nortije Diatdly descrvos that name. It is & low, one-sto- ried wooden structure, painted dark-brown, with singular round windows. In the court-yard wero four other Libitkas. At the door stood half a dozen tall reprosentatives of the mounted body~ guard of the Emperor, looking more Asiatic than Europesn in their long, fur-lined coats, with their Cancasian eaps, thoir Circaseian cime- ters,'and curious poinard-holders'on the breasts of their coats. An equerry ushered me into the Emperor's presence. The Czar was seated in front of an immeusa wood-fire in an open stove, in & largo room, the walls of which were decorated with bear-heads, satlors, and various huoting-implo- ments. Ho was dressed ina short fur robe, tight deerskin pantaloons, snd looked, without flattery, like the beau ideal of 8 Nimrod. With nim were six or seven gentlemen, similarly at- tired—all of them noble specimens of tho Rus- sian aristocracy. Thoy weresipping hot, strong, black coffeo from large cups, one of which wag hended to mo. The Emperor made me it down py his gide. “Drink s good deal of that coffee” ho maid to mo; “the air is cold, and 1t will keep you warm.” Then caviar eandwiches were served up, and I was amused ot tho Emperor's extraordinary appe- tite, although the rest of us, to tell the trath, owing no doubt to tho long rido in the sharp nir, did likewise amplo justice to the simple meal. 3y ropoating-rills attracted tho Emperor's at- tention. He exnuined it carefully, and admired its nentness aud elegance. But he said, witha smile: * Tifis weapon, monsieur, will not do for s bear-hunt. You need s much strongor gun, oue which, in an emergency, youcan usess a club, too; for,” lo added, lsughingly, ““gometimes ouwr sport lesds us into very closo ?nmm with our game; and the bear, cin nesure you, 18 not only s very h fighter, but it requires very hard kuocks to got thobetter of him." 'his, howevor, Wae 1o great misfartune ; for thero wero plenty of heavy, long, doublo-bar- roled rifics, such 08 are meed for bunting the bour in Castle Nortije ; and in a fow minuteg I was armed with ouo, and also With a tromendous hunting-knife, sbarp as a razor, and weighing vearly three pounds, The Emperor gave the signal to start, snd wo re-eutered our kibitkas, this tune, however, only for & short drive. In a0 opening of tho douso pine-forest wa alighted. There wo were mot by a dozen Imporial pigueurs and dog-licepers, who had chargo of ton im- mepte black Russian bear-doge, ngly, fierce-look- ing animale, who grected the Emperor's sppear- anco with joyous barkings. Tho Empetor chose the Baron von Holatein and me as his companions, The other gontla- meu sob out imwediately, walling at i very rapid Tute, to meet us again by a circuitous routo at o certain 6pot, and Lo drive towntds us such bears 18 might be started by O!d Nicolai, the votersn bear-hunter, who accompanied them. 014 Nicolai 8aid a few words in Russiun tothe Einperor, who told me that tho veterar hunter hod nsnred bim that we would find ono or mors of the bruin family beforo long, s it had been very cold for the past ten days, aud the bears would be about, loolking for food. Our “purty, sccomponied by four piqueurs, who held the doga by strivgs, started at o very slow pace through the thicket. The Em- peror was very taciturn, and kept his eves fixed on the gronnd. Every now and then he stood etill aud exawmined the frozen grouad. On such occasions ono of the pigueurs would stop might meet abont thirty. The Commission briass together some of the most sccom- plished, ‘soms of the most {amous, and +30me of the most agreeablo women in tho land. For its mombers make any additions they choogs to_their own numbers, of persons whom they supposs to be capecially interested in hteratury or in. education. The members, therefore, are stther well-known authors or well-knosn teach- ors, or mothers of f,l.miljuuz generslly, for 2ome reason, peopls interested in the car: adnufl%l;flc( chilgrc;l.‘h & = '.,nd o t work of the Commission was the neces: overhanling of the existing Sunday- school libraries, most of which had been collect- ed without particular care and sttention, and so contained many worthless books, and some which were mutually contradictory ; if some wers true, othezs were false. Upwards of 3,000 books were then read, of which more than & quarter weru rojocted 85 be- ing unfit for use in the librsries. These last were not by any means thoughtlessly omitted, as each book ’v'rna obliged to be read, and its fitness decided on, by a certain number of lsdics who performed their arduous tesk most faithlully, Haviog thus discarded all unsuitable books, those reinaining were catalogued and dividad into : up to him and do likowiso, Tho man was ove. daufly au experienced bunter’; for tho Emperor Iooked at him, sud. when ho shook his boad, moved on again. Thus wo walked for porhaps 8o bour and a half. It was growing colder and colder. The Emporos beckoned to omo of the attendants, who produced a Inrge wicker flask- which Le handed ta His Majosty. ‘The latter drank'a decp dranght from it and then handed it to me. Things must have cuanged grently in Russia, I thought to myself; for who wonld hiave lared to drink from the same flask with the ters rible and magnificent Emperor Nicholas ? As it was I eagerly scceptod tha proffercd flask, and drank some excellent cognac. The fery liquor hsd never tasted better to mo.

The dogs suddenly started off at s furiona rate, with a howl, and throatening fierceness of which would have caused a woalk-nerved person to shudder. Five minutes wo stood motionless. Then we heard the dogs barking With infense exas- peration—they were answered by a deep roar —the Emperor bent his faco in tho greatest sus- pense forward—and all st once & superb black bear emergod from tho thicket. The dogs jumped at him from allsides, buthe shook them off with the utmost ease. Then tho bear caught sight of us. o stood atill, and ut- tered another low roar. Tho Emperor raised his rifle and fired. The bullet hit the apimal, but ovidently inflicted only & uuim wound. The wounded bear turned to run, but the doge im- peded his progress. We fired, too; but likowise with indifferent success. The other party now camo in gight. Two more Lullets wero tiredinto the animal; but the boar bas a tough life, and his vital parts were as yet uninjured. Thon the Emperor guve us_the gignal to rush at the bear. Ho himecit 104 tho was with uplifted_hunting- koife. The bear, whether enfecbled by loss of biood, or terrified by tho appearance of 8o many adversaries, tried to floe moro rapidly ; but ho was overtaken, and brought to bay. e burled off the.dogs once more, but then the Em- peror's knife was driven into bis neart. He ut- tered o low moan, staggered back, and sank dead to the ground. s The Emperor struck off one of the animal's forepaws. The piqueurs cut off the boar's head, and then skinoed him. One of the bams wes takion along by the man. Wa took another deop drought from the wickor-flask ; the Emperor expressed his satisfaction to old Nicolsi for the Qispateh with which ho had started up the gamo, and wo returned to the opering in tho forest, whore we had left our kibitkas. 1t was 2 in tho afternoon whon wareached that point, Theo drivers and footmen had lighted & large fire there, and wo were all of us glad to get near it to thaw our half-frozen limbs. The Emperior, who is naturally a sombre, tac- iturn mon, was in unusually good spirits. Ho askod mo bow I had likod thespart. 1t was ossior than lion-hunting, I told him. _**Bometimes tho bear, after be has received a painfal wound, be- comes /S 8avago a8 a tiger,” said the Empcror, *‘and then the huoter who is near him has to act with the utmost circumspection. Many years 8go I was attacked by euch an aniwal, and I had an almost miraculous escape.” At 7 we waro back in St. Petarsburg. “MONETARY. SATURDAT EveNTNG, April 11, Loyond the usual Saturday briskness, there wore no noteworthy changes in the monetary situation to-dsy. Money wis in somewhat mora request, sud was offered on satisfactory torms. Wholesale dealers report their collections in the country fair; in tho city, not 80 good. Tho blustering weather the last fow days has had an unfavorable effect on city reiail trade. Pending tho opening of the Straits and the drsing of the country roads, little moro activity can ba ex- pected in the movement of produce. Exchauge was firmer to-dsy than the day before. Sales were at par; none were roportad at a discount as on Friday. Advices throughout the country report money generally easy, with stronger demand in manu- facturing towns, like Cincivuati and Wheeling, In New York the loans have been increased, according to tho weekly bank-statement, £3,552,+ 600 : tho deposils have been incroased only £1,200,300. Tnis shows au increased demand for money. The country banks ere not materially redacing their balances ; in some cases, an increzse is re- ported. Some country bsuks were inquirlng to- day for good paper at 30 days. On every hand, there is money enough. If there is scarcity of money anywhere, itis simply beeanse thers is a lack of socurities. Funds were reccntly sent from New Haven, Cono., to Muscatine, Ia., to be loaned among; the farmera oa long timezand casy terms. Thi3 is ono of many similar in- stances, proving that the troublo with the coun~ try is not lack of currency. However, a borros- er without good collaterals finds it harder to got money to-day thau eix months ago, as lenders are more cautious.

Quotations have advanced in Now York and Liverpool, but it would seem to be chiefly for the eako of inducing shipments on speculation from parties here, and the man who was most active in that direction has now retired from tho field. Ttis esiimated that New York has now “ on call ™ wheat to the amount of In stor, bu. On canal, bu.. In transit by reil, bu Totsl, bu....... X agninst 900,000 bu at eame dato last year, If these figures be corroct, there {s not much in- ducement to bidup for wheat inour market just now, and yet thero iaa fair shipping des mand for it, and ‘mostly on account of orders from the Enst or Europe. Advices from Glasgow state that the stock of flour therc on the 1st of April was 60,000 brls more, and of wheat, 83,000 bu more, than on tha 150 of ganuary. - A private lotter from St. Paul to aleading commission house here, containa the following : # From what I can learn, the estimate made on Minegota by our Board of Trade Committee here is at least 8,000,000 bushels short of the amount. The Committeo was composed of two wheat buyers snd ope elevator man, + -+ < -+ ‘Thare are 990,000 bu in Red Wing now awaiting tho openiug of the river.” E THE MARKETS. The leading produce marksts were generally quict and firm to-day, most of them being very &leady,—much more so than usual. There were few now featurcs to note, except that the colder woather all over the continont was looked upon a8 unfavornble, alike to grain-planting and to an ently opening of pavigation. Tho present atti- tudo is ono of watching and waitiog on the part of & good many operators in produce, thors being no strong inducement either to buy or sell. There was but little change in any foaturs of the dry goods merlet. A large amount of staplo domestic and foreign fabrica was distributed at genorally firmer prices than prevailed at tho bo- ginniog of the week, though there was no ma- terial advanco in any line.” The grocery market was firm for nearly all articles in “the list, both staplo and side goods being held at _very ‘fall prices, An exception must be mado in the case of coffee, that staple still showing unmistakable signs of wealness. Sugar, eirup, molasses, rice, snd feas are strong. The butter trade was quiet at weak and _irregular prices. ~ Roll was cspecially dall - snd was only salable at a reduction of 1@2 from former ~ quotations. Cheese rules firm, under » steadily fair demond, ‘st 17@185 for Now York, and st 15@i7c for Westorn. Dried froits wore moving fairly at about steady rates. Fish met with a pood inquiry, and were firm at previous quotations. in the canned goods market thero was & moderate degree of activity, with no quotable chango in values. Coal was inactive and weak. Leathor, pig-iron, tobacco, pnints, and wood were quoted wn- changed. No new features were developed in tho ofl market. Liberal galos were reported ot 15@16¢ for carbon ; 85¢ for extrs lard; 81.03@ 1.05 for linsced. and 55@56c for turpentine. The common grades of lumber continne to move quite {reely from the yards in answor to orders from intorior morchants. Prices for all desirablo grades are well maintained. The do~ mand for shingles in cars has improved within & day or two, and the market is firm at $3.12}¢ on track. Beveral cargoes wera sold at the whole- salo market to local dealess, but the demand was not very urgent, and pricea were probably a trifle lower for common pieco-stuff, but cargoos of good lumber gold ay about former_prices, Fair activity wus witnessed in the hardware apd nail markote, the order trade from the interior being at the prosent imo very good. Prices aro withe out alteration, nor are there indications of an immediate chango. Building materials, iron, aud naval goods wers unchanged. Hides wor steady and sulablo to denlers. Prairie and No. 1 timothy bay are qnoted firmer, under a contmued good jnquicy for shipment god scant offerings. Tho oiher grades of Lay wero in moderute request, chicfly for home consump~ tion, and, as the supply appears to be adequsta, prices aro not materially affocted by the advaaco of the higher qualitics. Wool, hops, and broot- com were quist. Sceds woro rather quiet, ex- copt Hungarian, millst, aod tho higher grades of timothy, which were in requost and firmer. Po- tatoes wero otlered freely, and o further decline took place. Poultry was firm, uuder light offor- ings and a good domsnd from the local trade. Highwines wora active, and firm at tho prico of the past two days, with a good domand, though New York was sgain reported wenk, at 95¢ bid, and ouly 951¢c asked. g:\os hero wero mado of 250 Lrls'at O3 per gallon. The reason for our excoptional strength 18 a scarcity of of- ferings. Lako freights sero inactivo, and nominally unchauged, st G@6}{c on wheat, 5M@be on corn, and 4@31¢c on oats, by enil to Buffalo, and Iicon wheat to Kingston. One veesel was ehar- tered last evening for wheat to Kingston on pri- ‘vate terms. Advices from the Straits of Macki- Daw roport the weather colder, with a galo from tho northwest, and no change' in the condition of the ice. Provigions wero less active, and steady during the greater rmrt of Lllm 8ession at lbmg:t the clos- Ing Yangd of prices last evening. There wos so littlo demand that the little trading dono seemed £0 bie owing to the fact that certamn parties were willing to buy from one and gell to another at the samo price—just to keep their hands in, or, n tho Fronch would say, * pour paeser lo temps.” Tho pork excitement seems to havo subsided, and the article to be settling back on its morite, It is now reported that the rize sbove £16.00 was not engineerad by the partios wha own most of the pork, but by an ‘"cifsider,” who it up in prder to arod b, which e ot e &1,910 69,951 100 8,360,000 and lot it down severely in selling out.

Added to this was the fuct of colder weather, and the report that the Eastern States have a temperature much lower than that axperienced here, which causes appre- honsions that & great doal more corn will be wantel for feeding purposes befora green food is available for stock than had een calculated on. There is also less fear now than recently, that our market will be overwhelmed by May deliveries. Much of the corn to come in waa sold to arrive next month, but the relative appreciation of the Juna option within the past week has caused a good wmany country holders to buy in what they had sold for May, sud sell it to arrive 8 month later. If the difference between the two optiona should widen much more, a large percentage of the foinre corn would be changed over in this way.
