If there ever was a literary philosophic humbug in this country it is the ‘‘Con- cord Schoot of Philosophy.” stitution”” holds summer sewsions in the shades of the eloepy village of Concord, a fow miles from Boston, the self-styled “Athens of Ami The attendants at this school are a set of intellectual Brahmine, whose high caste prevents them from ever coming in contact with ordinary mortals. They live and move and have their being in the ethereal at. mosphere of Emerson, Thorean, Chan. ning and Walt. Whitman, The Concord philosophers deal in sub- joots which they imagine are beyond the comprohension of ordinary minds, and therefore the composition of *‘the school” must be and is made up of per- sons of the highest order of intellect. The **Concord school of philosophy” is nothing more nor loss than a mutual ad. miration mociety of vislonaries and oranks, who mostly hail from Bos- ton. The “‘school” is now in msession and its proceedings are being reported at great length, On the morning of July 30, Me. Channing and Walt Whitman were expocted to present papers, but as neither appeared, the morning was given over to ‘‘conversation,” and to reading from the works of Kmerson, Tho- reaun, and Channing. Mr. Sanborn read an ode to Mr. Emerson by Mr. Channing, and also a poem by the same writer, addressed to Mr. Emer- son's little son, three years old. This was fcllowed by extracts from Mr. Channing's “Lifo of Thoreau.” Miss Elizabeth Peabody then gave some oc- currences during the time when Thoreau was an inmate of Mr. Emerson’s family. Professor William T. Harrls showed that Emerson was indebted to the literature of the east, by read- ing frem the former and then contrasting it with extracts from the Hindu litera- ture. In the evening Rev. George C Cooke gave to the achool what he consid- ered “Emerson's views of nationality. This was one day’s prorgamme and it speaka for itself. How enlightened the pupils of that school must become in the due course of time! What wonderful de- velopment in thought must be the reeult of such a day's exercises, The next day the school oconsidered the subject of “Immortality.” Now thatis a subject with which great minds have grappled from the days of Moses to Spinoza and Bob Ingersoll. If Emerson's ghost could eonlighten the schaol of foolosophy they might solve the riddle of the Sphynx. But those ideal-worshippers will waste their burnt offerings and in cense at the shrine of Kmerson, Thoreau & 0o., and in due time the Boston papers omorgency. will announce their return to brown bread This *‘in-| Tue Keith o;unty sohool land scandal sodibakedlbeins; isafierell very trifling in maguitude 5 compared to frauds perpotrated in othor| T Paving quostion will always be an parts of the state in the speculative mtoreAl".mg subject !or disoussion in all teatfio in school lands, Now that the [CUF cities.

Smal- ley, The purpose of this work is to de- scribe very briefly the origin, rise and growth of the republican pnrtg. its great | achievements in moulding public opinion and its important work of administration and legislation, Since the party was formed, a new generation of voters has come upon the stage of politieal action, to whom its early history s Ittle more than a tradition, A brief resume of that history must be interesting and Instructive to these young republicans who have tsken up the work of the party and are to carry it on after all its founders have passed away, and its older members can hardly fail " to find pome pleasure and profit in reviawing the story of its organization and victories. No party ever had such record. It has freed four millions of slaves; it has suppressed the most for- midable rebellion the world ever saw; it has preserved and strengthened the credit of the nation; it has conferred equal rightsa ot suf. frage and citizenship upon all the inhabi- tants of the republic, and it has adminis- tered the government for twenty-four ars with singular fidelity, honor and ntelligence, Within the compass of a work 80 limited as this, it is not possible to go into many interesting details con- cerning the carcer of this great historic party. Very little can be eaid about i action in state campaigns and its p upon state issues. Its history as a na- tional organization alone is dealt with, and that, too, in as condensed a form as is consistent with the presentation of all important facts, “Kitty Kent's Troubles,” by Julia A.

Tk PANKER oF Beprorp,” by John R. Musick, published by D. Lothrop & Qo., of Boston, is a purely western story, in which the delineation of character is true to nature. It is the story of a boy and girl, outcasts, the mystery of whose lives it unfoids. The other characters area hypooritical banker land rqually hypooritical friends on one hand, and a quartet of more humble and hon- est persons who are instrumental in frustrating some of the former’s dis- honeat plans. The failure of the bank makes the banker the viotim of mob vio- lence, from which he burely escapes with his life, The hero and heroine of the story are found to be brother and sister, children of the banker's profligate broth- er, and heirs to a fortune; which the banker sooght to sliedate to hih own use. The contrasts of character ard strongly drawn, of the Harper's and hos bscome known far and wide by the work which he has done on Harper's Weekly, In the break- ing up of the Tweed ring he did effective sorvice. The opening up of the great ocorruption in which Tweed and his fol- lowers werejongaged togsther with the tenaclty with which they etung to power, furnished all the need ul conditions for succesful carricature. Tweed was & gigantio plunderer. He was a king of frauds. Thousands and tens of thousands of dollars were as nothing to him. The leading, controMing demoorat of New York city, he robbed the people of tens of millions of dollams, bought leglelation and freudulently counted in a democratio governor of the state -who was never elected. In fivhe nefarious work of overcommg republiean majorities by a fraudalent eount, he was wided by a circular with the name of Samuel J. Tilden appended to it as ohair- man of the democratio state committen, How much Mr. Tilden really had to do with the matter probably will never be satisfactordy known. Tweed in the plentitude of his.power had bimself elected to the state senate, but when the expoeure of his unparalloed ocorruptions came he dared not take his ot However, he still posed as an hon- est man and as a patient d -moorat. No titter subject for carricature could woll be imsgined than that furnished by this state of things, with Tweed as the central figure. But neither the Harpere, with their Nast and their ‘‘*hired man” Curtis, nor anybody else, can succesafully carricature the truth. Their attempts therefore to disparage Mr. Blaine by those methods whioh were applicable toene of the great- est publio scoundrels that this ocountry has known, will be futile. They will be barren of results unless their etfoot shall be to add to the support of Mr. Blaine. ‘ave been mediocre men residing in vil- | residence portion aud on the hillsides, lages and small towns, Major Olarkson's |and if the cost is not too great it should champion says: be laid on a concrete base.
