APPLETON. 1S BEATTIES, INDUSTRIES, CAPABILITIES, AND PROSPECTS. Special Correspondence of The Tribune. AppLETON, Wis., June 9.—Not so long ago the little song having for its opening and re- frain “I would I were a bird? was freely carol- ed in the drawing-rooms, whistled on the streets, and otherwise demonstratively brought under the motice of those who might, or who might not, be equally anxious to don ornitho- Togical habiliments.

The whole Valley of the Lower Fox River presents an unbroken ouc- tession of interesting scenic surprises, but thesc, It must be conceded, culminate in Appleton, the natural and commercial centre of the entirc ralley. Whether regarded as 8 SUMMER RESORT by invelids, or as a business place by the profes- sional drummer, Appleton unquestionably pos- tesses striking and sterling merits of her own. Easy of approach by road, by river, or by rail, Appleton is cre long destined to become one of the most popular watering-places of the North- west. All the charms that Nature can impart are, and have been, hers; much that the ingenuity md science of man can do to enhance the besu- -tiesof woodland scenery has been already done, 1nd nothing is now wanted eave the judicious wplication of a little capital to make Appleton the worthy rival of less favored though more fashtonable citics. Appleton is not only beautiful by reason of Hts surroundings, but it is beautifully clean within itself, and this should not on any account. be Jost sight of by thosc who contend that Cleantiness is next to godliness.”’ By reason of the excellent drainage facilities, all impure and stant. collections are simply impassiblr:h wnd consequently the atmosphere is not Joade :_m:xinm clements generative of impurity and TOE ORDINART TRAVELER, on being asked if he hus ever visited Appleton, drawls ont a response_that he **has sccn Apple ton, been through it on the cars, you know.

W.I. C. RACINE. “RACINE BLOWS 1TS OWN TRUMPET." Special Correspondence of The Trivune. Racixg, Wis., June 10.—A balf-dbzen old settlers had a cheering talk the other night about Racine. They did not shake their heads and prophesy a dark future for the Belle City they had belped to bring up in its infancy, but actually averred that, if Racine improved as it had done for the past four years, 1880 would find it with a population of 20,000, With *balf an eye™ onc can sce a great amount of building is going om,and imorovements of all kinds Deing made.

But fn his caleulations he was mistaken, and not long azo lover No. 2 made his ap- pearance, but did not prees his euit until he found yositively that the young lady was still free to “* chioose the one that she loved best.” Then he offered his hand and heart, and was accepte Then the young men who was -kl her lover, all her friend,” stormed, and raged, and mourned, Dut, 23 1o one was to blame but himself, Le thinky now of ** what might luve been,* and Las lcarned the hard lesson that ** when you not when you can, then you cannat when you wi *‘GIVE US SOME MORE.” On Wednesday evening the **Excelsior Silver Corpet Band ™ took its position on the broken- down band-staud in the East Park, and, before the b vay, hundreds of men and maidens were wandering about in close proximity to the music, proving the old adage that **Fools dre led by the cars.™ Many who disres gorded the conventioualitics of life, und all such uonsense, independently wallzed on the ridewalk by the light of the moon, and scemed sorrowful when, after playing half u” dozen peices, the musi- cians gave their lust flonrish of trumpets snd left , wished it could be heard oftener, and hoped thespirit would move the players to play again, 5 IT 1S UERE.

The doy was per- fect, Lhough quite warm, and the gucsts found the cool darkness of the house more pleasant than the summer sun in the lovely grounds. In the dining- room the table was beantifally decorated with flowers: the lunch itself was perfect in evcry way. ‘The afternoon passed £0 pleasantly that it wasover ‘before one of the guests reafized how lute was the hour. It wasa charming entertainment, snd will be long remembered by those who were present. ‘* PROGRESS 18 TUE WATCUWOKD.”? ‘The Baptiztand Universalists Church members are having on exciting tiwe of it this week.

Last Days of Anniversary Doingg— Farewell Receptions, Secrets the Reporters Didn¥ Tell to the World. John Weiss Dates the Secession of Raile cals from the Unitarians. - David Neal’s Great Picture, Special Correspondrnce of The Tritume. Bostos, June 8.—The receptions, and festse vals, and merry-making what-nots that are crowded into and even over Anniversary-week are pretty good prool of the importance of the suniversaries as social reanions, if nothingelse; but the meetings themsclves have been of & food deal of importance this year, from the or- thodox-holding faith to the Free-Religions talks and arguments, and the summing up of the wholeis very satisfactory. The reporters miss & great deal of the side-sparkle and splrit, neces~ sarily, fo their work, and I propose to tell a few of these secrets, and to give & glimpse of a ree ception which didn’t get intothe papers. Inthe first place, I want to make a special note of the Free Religious people’s satisfaction in and with JAMES PARTON'S ADDRESS before their body. The subject “Free Religion and the State™ was made a vehicle fora fine argument azainst non-taxation of the churches; and the long drain that the old countries Lad suffered Ly supporting doctrioes with whith they bad no sympathy, was very cleverly made apparent. But it was the litcrary beauty of Mr. Parton’s essay that was specially remarkae ble. Thetalent for description, the presentss tive power which makes his “ BUTLER IN NEW ORLEANS” and “ Aaron Burr ” so charming, was used with the same pictaresque effect in this essay, where we are introduced to the old Town of Canters bury asit appeared to the essayist whem, 2 dreaming bd¥, he wandered in those academic shades that Dickens {mmortalizes in his Edwin Drood. And not mere Enphh: were the great novelist's touches than Mr. Parton’s pictures ag lie stood there apparently following his own recollections with an intefest that ioade every word spoken in a quiet, modulated voice ¢ tell 7 with responsive interest on his audience. And it was a very critical audlence, for it must be res wembered that in these Free Religious gatherings we get such scholars as. . Frothingham and. Jobu Weiss; and the friends and followers of these are in the same vein of thought and cul- sure. And yet In spite of all this culture one of the most curious mistakes took place directly after Mr. Parton’s address. The Free Religious 1neetings are supposed to be ordered with o Iit- tle stricter regrard for intellectual fitness than other meetings that come within other religious organizations. But, led away probably by the wive of sympathy for the woman movement, ‘the scholarly President, Mr. Frothingham, in default of Mrs. Lucrctia Mott and Mrs. Julia ‘Ward Howe, %oh a queer kink in his brain that somehow and by somebody the famninine element ;nu{]l‘ be rcpresunt{:d. bAml, es I‘:xdl:n;'anld lh:\ve it, there happened to be present a rejolcing B s ot e of Susart Voicom, wip 1o 0o clared herself o willing devotec of the cause, and on TUE ANXIOUS SEAT OF READY TALKERS. ‘The polite President thereupon invites Susan t0 speak, and 1o nex r has yet told what a curious melange of Tom Paine's doctrines and religion and no religion was the result. There were very good thivgs in this ulelu%'e, which was not half so bad as it seemed, but seemed 50 bad becanse Susandidn’t know how to say it. Ithink the platform listeners, as well as the audience, were not sorry when Susan sat down, and a few had a little sc¢nsc of malicious jubilation, which took the form of—‘‘hope the Radicals will learn not to run their freedom platform iuto the ground.” And it would scem s if President Frothingham might have learned 2 lesson of shrewdness from this mistuke, for there i8 no more reason why a woman should speak upon the Free Religious Society’s plat~ form beenuse she isa woman upon soy other platforn. 1t remained for the RV, BIOOKE IERFORD AND THE BEV. HENRY BLANCHARD ” to call John Weiss, the lon of the Radicals, from his lalr, Mr. Blanchard, who spoke first, opened on the Free Religionistsa fire of criticism con- cerping a statement that had been made that the Free Rellgions Association owed its exist- ance to the injideity of Unitarfuns to thelr prio- ples. - He dedured that the trst principle of Unitarianism was to maintain a place inside tho Chbristiun Church; the second, to ngply human reason in utmost frcedom of ‘thought to Chris~ tinnity; the third, that, whenever u man in the cxercise of his frecdom of thoughtin the ap~ plication of his reason to Christianity, feels him- sclf obliged todeny that Jesus Christis tho chief leader and “master of men, he is no longer a Christian. _The Unitarian Church, the speak~ cr_maintained, bad never departed from these principles, aud’ there should beno_sutagonism between Unitarianism and the Free Religfonfsts. ‘The Rev. Brooke Herfor?, following this, said he liked the word religivn better than- free, and claimed that there many earnest and independ- ent thinkers within the pale of Christianity. JOUN WEISS AFTER TUIS flung out his leash of free thought;'and told the story of the Free Religionists’ secession, It began at the Syracuse Conventlon a dozen years ago, when Dr. Bellows saw fit to define that the Unitarian must believe in the diinity of Christ —that is, his fzfcmutuml birth. Before that time nobody had thought to enforce this m- Ditrary acceptance or mulerstnudlng. It is al- ways fntercsting to hear Mr. Weiss, but 5] ly interesting to bear him in disputation. He was verv mucl in carnest on this occasion, and very witty and lively in a way that John Weiss alone excels id.

And on the next day at 1 o'clock MRS, SARGENT UAD A SEMI-RECLPTION, where the liou appeared in a very tame guise reading »_raging love poem. This reception was another of tlie odditics of Anniversary- weck, or I might better say of Boston a party convenicd—that secins the best it—from 12to 4, and all for thrbusurpm of hearing two or threc people read a poem apiece. 1did not get in until after these inter- esting services, 50 1 lost the reading, but I frived the advantage of a chit-chat and 2 stroll through the areatcool rovms at my pleasure, witbout the filndrunce of auy brain operation in the heat of a Juue day. Apart from these woetings and junketings, there is_just now a subject ol interest in Brain- ard's gallery, on Tremont street.—~David Neal's large picture of Mary, Queen of Scots, first meeting with Rizzio. It is beautiful in many ways, but it is an artificial picture. It looks as if some of the BEAUTIFUL DOSTON GIRLS had made themselves into s beantifal tablean, and David Neal had painted it. It is not Mary Stuart in the old castle; it is all modern mas- qguerading. Yet nothing can exceed the grace aud beauty of the Queen’s face and figure, and the sad presage of the expression. A~ rougher hand than Neal’s,a stronger imagination. would haye toned down these brilliant lights of silk aud satio, this modern dfly]}ghz look, snd_given us a Gerome suggestion of gloom and depth, and out of it thrown in shadowy indication of Marie’s face and all that “‘gloss of satin and ggummer of h."; {‘l is ll;tl:‘r\udlngtoslt in tlis erys and sec and hearthe Auniversary people Who drop in from the mectings In this art P‘?:luly ter's stillness andseclusfon.’” Forone moment ‘they criticise free thought or talk orthodoxy; the next moment point uut the beanty of Marie Stuart’s robe, and wonder how anybody can paint brocade like that.
