The nvequaled” railroad advac- tages of Grend Crossiog, joined to other excellent fectures, determined the final choice. The building formerly occupied by tho Cornell Watch Company was purchased. With it was also bought a largo number of lota of land, cenveniently situated. Largo and cost- Iy 2déitions to thio buulding were as once com- meaced.

A Weale Woman—TFrench Comedie. w*rom Our Own Corressondent. BosroN, Jan. 13.—'*An Evening with the Toets " was the given programmo of Mrs. Ssr- goot’s last onterininmont. There wes a pleasant gathering, 28 nsual, aod & pleasant time. Poems were read by James Freemau Clarke, Mrs. Moul- ton, and tranelations from the German by Dr. Hedge. Whittier, who was the only notable voet present, pleaded an ongagemeut just bo- fore his tarn came, and fled. leaving his poem behind him, which was read by Mra. Moulton. One of the mos: interostinz features in TOE EAERSON PEVER, which hag just broken out auew, is the getting up of Emerson's clubs, which promises weli for tue development of resl liboral, calture of thought amongst the jounger generation. Of course, these clabs are started by women, and roung wemen, for it is a noticeable fact that Emeraon hes more real enthasinstic followars and admirers amongst women than smongst men, great as his reputation is amonget tho latter. Iheard s young woman declare the other day that Emersou’s essavs were Ler Bible ; and thet sho bad leatned mowe of her duty in life, and, in ber own words, ** how tobehase herself,” from Emerson than from soy other teackings from any other book. The plan of THE NEW OLUBS— Ispesk in tho plural becauso I am nequainted with two which are slready organizing,—is to bave & weokly meeting at the houses of .members, and, after readiog s portion desig- nated, to have = familiar conversation, us- sion, or whatever comparing of notes in vartous opinion suggests itsolf. If the clubs live long enough, of course, Emerson’s writings won't last for constant perusal. And ilis not meant that they should be the counstant food. Tho name of Eme:son Club is given a8 significant of culture ; as Emerson stands for the height of philosopbical enltare, as Rapbeel of art. Itiss litle singular that each of these clubs was pro- jected by two ladies who were eatirely unuc- quainted with the design of tho other, until in meeting 2nd in the courso of conversation they found thoy were on the same track. Tais fact brozen out. It's all the air.

And with this the canning, beaatifal typed vest- pocket edrics of his singie cssays, which are 8o fascinsting to evervbody chat paople who never i read lum before ars beguilad into lus wells of wisdom by picking up these little greea aud gold lures. Emerson was greatly pleasod with the Young Girls' Club a faw yearsaro. They sbowed their appreciation by pot only invitiug him to read before them, but by avplaudiug lum beart- ily at the close,—a warmth of acceptatiou whict would be very grateful to hear at tho close of soms fine efforis in older clubs, where the cold fashion of dead siloncs that fo lows must be LIKE A WLT BLANKET upon the speukce. - At tho recent delightful resdivg by dir.

Toe plan, which had been leftin the Conacil chamber, was brought dowa. Alr. Prindiville stated that they had met for the purpose cf enablin Ar. Tilley to get ready to prepare his plaor; and, also, to get bim to have a talk with Mr. Egan 1n regard to {he mat- ter, .80 that thoy could wozk jointly. Of courso, if tho county wouid not agree to the new plan adopted by the Council, and ineisted om Alr. Egan's latest, there would bave to be TWO RUILDINGS, thet wes all. If they insisted apon constructing the Court-Housa oo tho vld plan, why the city conldn’t g ahead at all. Afr. Tiiley said that he thought there would be no trouble as to the agreement with Mr. Egan.

Of course, this would be goiug over the same ground agaia, but it wou.d Bromate 1 botter fecling sud liatmony.
