 " We observe that the action in the McPhail Upright Pianos is easy and responsive to the 
 truch, very prompt in repetition, and that the imperfect damping which has been recognized as a 
 great defect in uprights, has been completely remedied by their plan of dampers. The action of 
 the strings is counteracted by a system of compensating rods, which have the effect to diminish the 
 strain upon the plate. For these improvements, which we regard as very valuable, we award 
 Messrs. McPhail & Co. a GOLD MEDAL."

PREFACE 
 
 The original purpose of the author of this work was simply to provide a 
 description of the various Colleges and Schools in and about Boston, giving 
 location, curriculum, terms of tuition, etc., in response to constantly-increas- 
 ing requests from intending pupils in the Middle, Western and Southern 
 States especially, there being no work of the kind extant ; and, that com- 
 pleted, it occurred to the writer that the applicant for information in 
 scholastic directions— coming to Boston for a residence of months, or years- 
 might naturally desire a knowledge of various other elements which go to 
 make up the life of the great metropolis of New England— the musical, 
 literary and art centre of the United States — which information has not 
 heretofore been given; consequently, the other features have been added, 
 combining to form, it is confidently believed, a practical, complete and 
 unconventional Guide-Book to the City of Boston and suburbs, useful alike 
 to citizen and stranger. 
 
 In some Hand-Books the beautiful and thriving cities and towns surround- 
 ing Boston, as well as the various beaches and seaside resorts, — which to 
 strangers are extremely interesting — have been ignored. This work has 
 several departments devoted to them. 
 
 The pages given to the history, poetry and romance of Old Boston are 
 mostly the accumulation of data made with an idea of issuing it in a separate 
 volume, but it seemed so appropriate for a work of this description that it 
 was included with the idea that it may interest many a stranger and possibly 
 instruct some citizen. • ' • ]■■ .. *. 
 
 The writer will feel grateful to any reader who will call his attention to 
 any errors or omissions that may be discovered in its data. He will also be 
 glad to receive suggestions with regard to the addition of other departments, 
 etc. It will be the purpose to enlarge, improve and elaborate the Cyclopedia 
 with each successive edition. Acknowledgments are due to Messrs. O. B. 
 Stebbins, (for copies of several rare theatrical bills, etc.) Chris. A. Connor, 
 (for information relating to the city government) Emil Schwab, and others 
 who have imparted facts and statistics for this work. 
 
 In addressing any one to whom reference is made in this work, please 
 mention the Cyclopedia of Boston.

 America's First Pianoforte 
 Manufactory. In the year 1800, 
 Benjamin Crehore made the first piano- 
 forte constructed in this country, in Mil- 
 ton, a suburb of Boston. He associated 
 in business with himself Lewis Babcock, 
 who afterward established a pianoforte 
 
 upon the arrival of the tea, the destruc- 
 tion of which led to such important re- 
 sults in the history of the American 
 Republic : 
 
 Friends! Brethren! Countrymen! 
 
 That worst of plagues, the detested 
 Tea, shipped for this port by the East 
 India Company, is now arrived in this 
 harbour. The hour of destruction, or 
 manly opposition to the machinations of 
 tyranny, stares you in the face. Every 
 friend to his country, to himself and 
 posterity, is now called upon to meet at 
 
 manufactory on Washington Street, near Faneuil Hall at nine o'clock this day 
 Castle Street. Babcock's brother and a (at which time the bells will ring) to 
 
 friend comprised the new firm of Bab- 
 cock, Appleton & Babcock. They were 
 not successful. John Mackay succeeded 
 them, removing the manufactory to Cam- 
 bridge Street. Jonas Chickering — who 
 has been styled " the father of pianoforte-

 to this last, worst, and most destructive

 protected from the inclemencies of a 
 New England climate by large, rough 
 shingles. In height the house was about 
 three stories; in front, the second story 
 and attic projected somewhat into the 
 street, over the principal story on the 
 ground floor. On the lower floor of the 
 main house there was one room only.

 sold the whole parcel of land to the town, 
 except only six acres immediately join- 
 ing his house. The land thus coming 
 into the possession of the town as public 
 property was directly committed (Dec. 18, 
 1634), to the care of Winthrop and others 
 to divide, and to leave ' such portions in

 side of the room was one of those noted 
 large fire-places, situated in a most capa- 
 cious chimney; on the left of this was a 
 spacious closet. On the ground floor, 
 connected with the sitting-room through 
 the entry, was the kitchen. The second 
 story originally contained but one 
 chamber, and in this the windows, door, 
 fire-place, and closet were similar in 
 number and position to those in the 
 parlor beneath it. The attic was also, 
 originally, one unplastered room, and 
 had a window in front, on the street, and 
 two common attic windows, one on each 
 side of the roof, near the back part of 
 it.". Josiah Franklin, Benjamin's father.

 Benjamin Waterhouse, who

 under date of March 28, 1631, as follows: 
 " We found the Colony in a sad and un- 
 expected condition, above eighty of them 
 being dead the winter before, and many 
 of those alive weak and sick; all the corn 
 and bread amongst them all hardly suffi- 
 cient to feed them a fortnight." 
 
 Boston in 1699. Edward Ward, 
 of London, visited Boston in that year,

 to add that the Boston of to-day sustains 
 all of its former English tone, the city 
 taking its fashions m social customs, 
 dress, etc., from London. 
 
 / Boston's Early Names. 
 
 Boston's Indian name was Shawmutt, 
 signifying "living fountains" in their 
 dialect. It was afterwards called Tri- 
 mountaine, owing to the fact that its 
 principal hill had three distinct peaks. 
 (This hill was once called Centry (Sentry) 
 Hill, afterwards Beacon Hill.) Boston 
 received its present name, Sept. 7, 1630, 
 being called after Boston, England. 
 
 Boston's Elegance in 1766. 
 
 John Adams' Diary contains the follow- 
 ing: "Dined at Mr. Nick Boylston's— an 
 elegant dinner indeed. Went over the 
 house to view the furniture, which alone 
 cost a thousand pounds sterling. A seat 
 it is for a nobleman, a prince. The Tur- 
 key carpets, the painted hangings, the 
 marble tables, the rich beds with crim- 
 son damask curtains and counterpanes, 
 the beautiful chimney clock, the spacious 
 garden, are the most magnificent of any- 
 thing I have ever seen." 
 
 Boston Massacre. The first 
 actual conflict between the residents of 
 Boston and the British troops occurred 
 in King (State) Street, March 5, 1770. The 
 troops were called "lobsters," in derision 
 by street-urchins, on account of their 
 scarlet coats. "He's the soldier who 
 knocked me down!" shouted a boy, 
 
 Eointing to a sentinel who had just before 
 it the lad with the butt-end of his mus- 
 ket. This was at the corner of Exchange 
 Dane and King Street. Some one in the 
 crowd cried—" Knock the lobster down ! " 
 Others shouted — "Kill him!" The sen- 
 tinel quickly loaded his gun, and re- 
 treated up the steps of the Custom House, 
 which then stood on that corner. " He's 
 going to fire ! ' ' exclaimed a voice. Henry 
 Knox, who was passing, said to the 
 soldier — " If you dare to fire you shall 
 die for it ! " " Well," replied the sentinel, 
 " if they touch me, I'll shoot them! " The 
 crowd began to throw snowballs and 
 other things at him, when he levelled his , 
 musket at them and shouted for assist/ 
 ance. A sergeant, with seven men, came 
 to his relief. Capt. Thomas Preston, of 
 the Twenty-Ninth, joined his men, mak- 
 ing ten. There were about sixty people 
 in the front of the Custom House. "You J 
 cowardly scoundrels," shouted some one, 
 " put down your guns and we're ready 
 for you!" Clubs were soon brought to 
 bear against the soldiers, who had pro- 
 voked the mob by pressing them back 
 with their bayonets. Seven of the sol- 
 diers fired, killing Crispus Attucksy f Shakespeare's "Macbeth" was an-

 Boston's First Dancing 
 School was opened in 1735, and under 
 cover. It was announced as a "School 
 for reading, writing, cyphering, dancing, 
 and the use of the needle." About this 
 time an application for an exhibition of 
 tight-rope dancing was refused, as it 
 might "tend to promote idleness in the 
 Town." 
 
 Boston Stone. In the early days 
 IS of the Town the houses, inns and shops 
 were not numbered, but at certain points 
 were placed curious emblematic stones, 
 signs, etc., to point the way, or to mark 
 the position of various buildings. Thus, 
 what is so widely known as the Boston 
 Stone, which may to-day be seen im- 
 bedded in the outer wall of a building 
 on Marshall St., Creek sq., near Hanover 
 st., was used as a symbol by a painter, 
 who, in 1701, opened a little shop on this 
 spot, having removed here from London. 
 The Stone — or Stones, for there are two, 
 the lower one having been used as a 
 paint-mill, and the upper spherical one 
 as a grinder — was brought here from 
 England. The Stone is placed in the 
 wall quite near the ground. Upon it is 
 the inscription: 'Boston Stone, 1737." 
 The historic old landmark is considered 
 to be of the greatest interest by anti- 
 quarians and other sight-seers, some of 
 whom are almost constantly to be found 
 in the vicinity. (Near the Boston Stone 
 is the Painter's Arms, a description of 
 which is given as indicated in the Index 
 of this work.)

 tion referred to Gentry or Sentry Hill, 
 now known as Beacon Hill; the other hills 
 were afterwards known as Copp's and 
 Fort Hills. 
 
 1/ Boston Tea-party. The story of 
 the famous Boston Tea-Party is thus 
 graphically told by Rev. Edward G. 
 Porter: "In the summer of 1773 the news 
 of the tea tax aroused a universal spirit 
 of resistance. It was known to be an 
 insidious measure, skilfully contrived to 
 collect a duty without apparent cost to 
 the purchaser, the tribute being nominally 
 paid by the East India Company in Lon- 
 don. But it was only another test case, 
 involving a recognition of the supremacy 
 of Parliament, and every one understood 
 it. Samuel Adams was busy with his 
 fellow-patriots making arrangements for 
 the proper reception of the 'detested tea.' 
 The consignees were cautioned in ad- 
 vance by the ' Liberty Tree ' committee. 
 The clubs and newspapers were of one 
 mind on the subject. Numerous town 
 meetings were held, first in Faneuil Hall 
 and then in the Old South, at which it 
 
 was unanimously determined, upon 
 Adams's motion, that the tea should be 
 sent back and that no duty should be 
 paid upon it. It was a difficult matter to 
 convince the authorities that this vote of 
 the town was imperative. Everything 
 was done by the leaders in the way of 
 warning, personal visitation and reasona- 
 ble delays, to facilitate the execution of 
 the people's order, but official obstruc- 
 tions prevented up to the very last day 
 before the ships would be subject to con- 
 fiscation. That was the memorable 
 Thursday, the sixteenth of December, 
 1773— that day of days in Boston history — 
 when the largest town meeting that was 
 ever held, numbering, it is said, seven 
 thousand men, filled the Old South and 
 all its approaches. The deliberations of 
 the morning were adjourned to three 
 o'clock to allow time for Rotch, the 
 owner of the ' Dartmouth,' who had been 
 refused a clearance at the Custom House, 
 to obtain the necessary sailing-permit 
 of the Governor, then at his country-seat 
 in Milton. The afternoon session was 
 prolonged for hours waiting for the mer- 
 chant's return. Addresses were made 
 by Adams, Young, Quincy and others, 
 and the vote was taken again, and with- 
 out a dissenting voice, that the tea should 
 in no case be landed. ' Who knows,' said 
 Rowe, ' how tea will mingle with salt 
 water ? ' a remark which elicited loud 
 applause, le cannot but respect the 
 patience of such a gathering, and the 
 restraining influence exercised by the 
 leaders at this critical juncture. Night 
 is drawing on. The speeches have all 
 been made, and now there are long inter- 
 vals of silence. Only a few faces can be 
 distinguished in the dim candle-light. 
 In the pulpit sits Samuel Adams, the 
 moderator, whose presence there is 
 enough to control any assembly on any 
 occasion. Some in that company — per- 
 haps not many — are in the well-kept 
 secret which is likely soon to astonish the 
 town. Others not far away— a dauntless 
 band— are holding themselves in readi- 
 ness for the signal. And yet all is quiet, 
 profoundly quiet. At last, about six 
 o'clock, Rotch appeared and reported 
 that the Governor had refused the pass. 
 Then the moderator rose and said, ' This 
 meeting can do nothing more to save the 
 country.' Scarcely had the words fallen 
 from his lips, when a war-whoop was 
 heard at the door, and a band of men, 
 disguised as Indians, swept by on their 
 way to Griffin's wharf (now Liverpool 
 wharf), followed by the crowd. The tea- 
 ships were boarded and placed under 
 guard, while the ' braves ' in the light of 
 the moon removed the hatches, hoisted 
 the chests upon deck, and emptied all 
 their contents into the sea. There was 
 no resistance, no noise, no exultation. 
 When the work was done, they all retired 
 quietly to their homes, and by ten o'clock 
 that night a Sabbath stillness prevailed 
 throughout the town."

 Boston Witchcraft, in 1648, 
 June 13, Margaret Jones was tried, con- 
 victed and hanged (from a branch of the 
 Great Elm on Boston Common) for witch- 
 craft. In 1656, Ann Hihhins met a sim- 
 ilar fate. Other victims were executed 
 for the same " crime " in Boston, (nearly 
 fifty years before the outbreak of the 
 witchcraft delusion in Danvers, then 
 known as Salem Tillage, in 1692). Gov- 
 ernor Endicott pronounced the sentence 
 of death on Dame Hibbins, who was 
 denied even Christian burial. 
 
 Boston Women in 1781. The 
 
 celebrated Abbe Robin — who accom- 
 panied Count de Rochambeau and his 
 six thousand French troops who came 
 to assist in the War for American Inde- 
 pendence, as chaplain wrote as fol- 
 lows from Boston in June, 1781 : " Piety 
 is not the only motive that brings the 
 American ladies in crowds to the various 
 places of worship. The church is the 
 grand theatre where they attend to dis- 
 play their extravagance and finery. There 
 they come, dressed off in the finest silks, 
 and overshadowed with a profusion of 
 the most superb plumes. The hair of 
 the head is raised and supported upon 
 cushions to an extravagant height. The 
 ladies are large, well proportioned; their 
 features generally regular, and their com- 
 plexions fair without ruddiness. They 
 have less cheerfulness and ease of be- 
 haviour than the ladies of France, but 
 more of greatness and dignity. I have 
 even imagined that I have seen some- 
 thing in them that answers to the ideas 
 of beauty we gain from those master- 
 pieces of the artists of antiquity, which 
 are yet extant in our days. The stature 
 of the men is tall, and their carriage 
 erect, but their make is rather slim, and 
 their colour inclining to pale. They are 
 not so curious in their dress as the; 
 women, but everything upon them is 
 neat and proper." (Boston then con- 
 tained about 30,000 inhabitants). 
 
 Branding. On September 14, 1784, 
 Thomas Joyce was branded with the 
 letter B for burglary. 
 
 Brighton was originally called 
 " Little Cambridge." 
 
 British Troops in Boston. 
 
 There were 13,800 British soldiers in 
 Boston, March 17, 1775. 
 
 Bunker Hill, Charlestown 
 
 District. Oliver Wendell Holmes, in 
 " Grandmother's Story" writes thus: 
 
 " I had heard the musket's rattle of the 
 
 April running battle; 
 Lord Percy's hunted soldiers, I can see 
 
 their red coats still; 
 But a deadly chill comes o'er me as the 
 
 day looms up before rne, 
 When a thousand men lay bleeding on 
 
 the slopes of Bunker's Hill." 
 
 Blinker Hill Monument -was 
 completed June 17, 1843. 
 
 Burgoyne, when informed that 
 Boston was surrounded by provincials, 
 (June, 1775,) ejaculated, "What? Ten 
 thousand peasants keep five thousand 
 King's troops shut up ! Let us get in, 
 and we'll soon find elbow-room!" The 
 General was nick-named "Elbow-room 
 Burgoyne " after that. 
 
 Cambridge was originally called 
 
 " Newe-towne." 
 
 Boston became a city May 1, 1822. 
 
 Carlyle, with historical inaccuracy, 
 wrote as follows: " Rev. John Cotton is a 
 man still held in some remembrance 
 among our New England friends. He 
 had been minister of Boston in Lincoln- 
 shire; carried the name across the ocean 
 with him; fixed it upon a new small 
 home he had found there, which has be- 
 come a large one since, — the big busy 
 capital of Massachusetts, — Boston, so 
 called. John Cotton, his mark, very 
 curiously stamped on the face of this 
 planet; likely to continue for some time." 
 The fact is that Boston was named three 
 years before the arrival of Rev. John 
 Cotton. 
 
 f Caucus. The term Caucus was first 
 used about 1724, in connection with po- 
 litical meetings. They were originally 
 called " Calkers' meetings," being prin- 
 cipally organized by calkers or ship- 
 building mechanics. 
 
 , Char lest own's, Famous En- 
 gine. The Massachusetts Spy, of April 
 1*8, 1773, in alluding to a fire "in Boston 
 speaks of the aid rendered by " the en- 
 gine from Charlestown, esteemed the best 
 in America." 
 
 j Charter. On March 4, 1628 (9, O. S.), 
 Charles I., of England, granted Letters- 
 iPatent to Sir Henry Rosewell and others 
 as a body corporate " by the name of the 
 Governor and Company of the Massa- 
 chusetts Bay in New England." In the 
 State Archives, in Boston, is preserved 
 the original document, upon which is the 
 following indorsement: "A perpetuity 
 granted to Sir Henry Rosewell and others 
 of parts of Newe England in America. 
 (Signed) Wolseley." The paper bears 
 the autograph signature of Wolseley. 
 
 Christ Church, Salem st. From 
 the belfrey of this church, built in 1723, 
 lanterns were hung out on the night 
 before the Concord and Lexington bat- 
 tles. (See Historical Tablets.) A poem 
 by Edwin B. Russell commemorates this 
 event: 
 
CHU-EAR 
 
 13 
 
 " And here the patriot hung his light 
 "Which shone through all that anxious 
 night, 
 To eager eyes of Paul Revere ; 
 There, in the dark churchyard below, 
 The dead Past 'wakened not to know 
 How changed the world, that night of 
 fear." 
 
 Churches in Early Bays. Of 
 the established churches of the Massa- 
 chusetts Colony the first was at Salem; 
 the second at Charlestown ; the third in 
 Boston; the fourth at Dorchester; the 
 fifth at Roxbury. 
 
 Colonial Architecture, in 1637 
 Samuel Symonds wrote to John Win- 
 throp, Jr., describing a house he was to 
 build at Ipswich: "I would have wood 
 chimnyes at each end, the frames of 
 the chimnyes to be stronger than ordi- 
 nary, to beare good heavy load of clay 
 for security against fire. You may let 
 the chimnyes be all the breadth of the 
 howse, if you think good; the 2 lower 
 dores to be in the middle of the howse, 
 one opposite to the other. Be sure that 
 all the dorewaies in every place be soe 
 high that any man may goe vpright 
 vnder. It makes noe great matter though 
 there be noe particion vpon the first 
 flore; if there be, make one biger than 
 the other. I would have the howse 
 strong in timber, though plaine and well 
 brased." 
 
 Continental Money. At a meet- 
 ing of Boston merchants at Fanueil Hall, 
 June 16, 1779, it was " Resolved, That all 
 those who shall hereafter dare refuse 
 Continental money, or require hard 
 money for rents or any article whatever, 
 shall not remain among us, but be trans- 
 ported to our enemies as unworthy or 
 dangerous members of society." 
 
 Cows not Allowed on Boston 
 Common. In 1830 it was forbidden to 
 pasture cows on the Common. 
 
 Cradock House. The old Crad- 
 ock House, built in Medf ord, in 1639, is 
 still standing. 
 
 Creek Square and vicinity is an 
 extremely interesting locality for his- 
 torians to visit. (See Boston Stone, 
 Painter's Arms, Old North End, and 
 Old Houses). 
 
 Dark Day. On May 19. 1780, oc- 
 curred the noted "dark day" in Boston. 
 A lady residing near Common Street in 
 great alarm sent her servant to Rev. 
 Mather Byles to ask him the cause of the 
 unnatural state of things. "Tell your 
 mistress," said Byles, "that I am as 
 much in the dark as she is! " 
 
 David Crockett. In May, 1834, 
 " Col. Davy Crockett " created a great 
 sensation in Boston. 
 
 Decay of the Indians. Charles 
 Sprague, the famous Boston poet, wrote 
 of the Indians, in 1830: 
 
 "Alas! for them, — their day is o'er, 
 Their fires are out from shore to shore ; 
 No more for them the wild deer bounds, 
 The plough is on their hunting-grounds ; 
 The pale man's axe rings through their 
 
 woods, 
 The pale man's sail skims o'er their floods, 
 Their pleasant springs are dry." 
 
 George Edward Ellis, in the Memorial 
 History of Boston, says: "There were 
 places in this State where feeble rem- 
 nants of partially-civilized natives re- 
 mained a little longer than at Natick. 
 But the longer they survived the more 
 forlorn was the spectacle they presented, 
 as poor pensioners and vagabonds, the 
 virility of their native nobleness in the 
 wild woods crushed in abject abasement 
 before the white man, their veins mixed 
 with African rather than with English 
 blood." 
 
 Devonshire Street was called 
 Pudding Lane in provincial days. 
 
 Dickens. Charles Dickens first 
 visited America, landing at Boston, in 
 1842. He was tendered a reception at 
 Papanti's Hall, Feb. 1. 
 
 Drunkenness. In 1699 the penalty 
 for drunkenness was a public whipping, 
 or a fine of one crown. 
 
 Dwelling-Houses in 16 5 4. 
 
 Boston in 1654 had about 120 dwelling- 
 houses. 
 
 Early Encouragement of Art 
 
 in Boston. The Academy of Arts 
 and Sciences was founded May 4, 1780. 
 
 Early History of Roman Ca- 
 tholicism in Boston. Writes The 
 Very Reverend William Byrne— (Vicar- 
 General of the Diocese) in The Memorial 
 History of Boston: " One hundred years 
 ago (about 1780) there were about one 
 hundred Catholics in Boston. These were 
 for the most part either French, Irish or 
 Spanish. . . . They had then no church 
 organization, no church, no regular place 
 of worship, and only the occasional min- 
 istrations of transient priests. . . . 
 These missionaries were succeeded by 
 the Rev. John Thayer, a native of Boston, 
 a convert to the Catholic faith, who had 
 been a Congregational minister. During 
 this gentleman's travels in Europe in 
 1781-83, he learned and accepted the 
 doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, 
 
14 
 
 EAR-EXP 
 
 . . . After being ordained priest he 
 returned to America, and visited Dr. 
 Carroll, of Baltimore, the Superior of 
 the missions in the United States. Dr. 
 Carroll assigned him to the Boston mis- 
 sion. On his arrival in Boston, Jan. 4, 
 1790, he found the Catholics using as a 
 place of religious assembly and worship, 
 a small chapel on School Street. This 
 chapel had been previously occupied by a 
 small Huguenot congregation, but was 
 the property of Mr. Perkins, from whom 
 Father Thayer obtained, in 1790, a lease 
 for a few years. This may be said to be 
 the first regularly organized church so- 
 ciety of Roman Catholics in Boston." 
 
 Early Literature. Boston 
 achieved its literary pre-eminence — 
 which it still holds — early in the history 
 of the country. In 1719, Daniel Neal, the 
 well-known writer, in describing Boston, 
 wrote: "The Exchange is surrounded 
 with Booksellers' Shops, which have a 
 good trade. There are five printing- 
 presses in Boston, which are generally 
 full of work, by which it appears that 
 humanity and the knowledge of letters 
 flourish more here than in all the other 
 English plantations put together, for in 
 the city of New York there is but one 
 Bookseller's Shop, and in Virginia, Mary- 
 land and Carolina none at all." 
 
 Early Settlers. In July, 1630, a 
 fleet of ten ships (including the " Arbel- 
 la") from Yarmouth, England, arrived 
 in Boston Harbor, bearing a band of men, 
 self-reliant, resolute and determined, 
 who were to establish a home for the op- 
 pressed of all the nations of the earth. 
 This company included John Winthrop, 
 JohnWilson, Isaac Johnson,Thomas Dud- 
 ley, and other equally heroic, sturdy men. 
 
 Eavesdropping in 1699. Salu- 
 tary lessons were often taught eavesdrop- 
 pers and busybodies in early days. Ed- 
 ward Ward wrote home to England, as 
 follows: "A good cudgel, applied in the 
 dark, is an excellent medicine for a 
 malignant spirit. I knew it experienced 
 at Boston, with a very good success upon 
 an old rigged precisian, one of their 
 select, who used to be more than ordi- 
 narily vigilant in discovering even little 
 irregularities in the neighborhood. I 
 happened, one night, to be pretty merry 
 with a friend, opposite the zealot's dwell- 
 ing, who got out of his bed in his waist- 
 coat and drawers, to listen at our win- 
 dow. My friend, having oft been served 
 so, had left unbolted his cellar trap-door, 
 as a pitfall for Mister Busie-Body, who, 
 stepping; upon it, sunk down with an 
 outcry like that of a distressed mariner 
 in a sinking pinnace. My friend, having 
 planted a cudgel ready, ran down stairs, 
 crying, 'Thieves!' and belabored old 
 troublesome very severely before he 
 would know him. He crying out, ' I am 
 
 your neighbor !'—' You lie, you rogue!' 
 says my friend, ' my neighbors are honest 
 men. You are some thief, come to rob 
 my house ! ' By this time I went down 
 with a candle, -my friend seemingly won- 
 derfully surprised to see 'twas his neigh- 
 bor, and one of the select, too, put on a 
 counterfeit countenance, and heartily 
 begged his pardon. Away trooped the 
 old fox, grumbling and shrugging his 
 shoulders, and he afterwards became the 
 most moderate man in authority in the 
 whole Towne of Boston." 
 
 Education in Colonial Days. 
 
 A law passed Nov. 11, 1647, read as fol- 
 lows: "To the end that Learning may 
 not be buried in the graves of our Fore- 
 fathers, it is ordered in all the Puritan 
 Colonies that every Township, after the 
 Eord hath increased them to the number 
 of fifty households, shall appoint one to 
 teach all children to write and read; and 
 when any Town shall increase to the 
 number of one hundred families, they 
 shall set up a Grammar School, the mas- 
 ter thereof to be able to instruct youth so 
 far as they may be fitted for the Univer- 
 sity; provided that if any Town neglect 
 the performance hereof, above one year, 
 that every such Town shall pay five 
 pounds to the next School, till they shall 
 perform the order." 
 
 Effects cf Early Rising. Presi- 
 dent Quincy of Harvard College, and 
 John Quincy Adams, who were "addicted 
 to the vice of intemperate early rising," 
 one day complimented Judge Joseph 
 Story by attending one of his lectures 
 at Harvard University Law School, and 
 had hardly become seated before they 
 both fell asleep. Judge Story, pointing 
 to them, said to the amused students: 
 "Gentlemen, you see before you a melan- 
 choly example of the evil effects of early 
 rising." Shouts of laughter awoke the 
 worthy slumberers. 
 
 Experiences of Early Settlers. 
 
 Captain Roger Clap— one of a company 
 coming from Plymouth, England— arriv- 
 ing at Hull, Boston Harbor, (after a ten- 
 weeks' tempestuous voyage), May 30, 1630, 
 and who settled in Dorchester, wrote: 
 "When we came to Nantasket, Captain 
 Squeb, who was Captain of that great 
 Ship of Four Hundred Tons, would not 
 bring us into Charles River, as he was 
 bound to do; but put us ashore, and our 
 goods, on Nantasket Point, and left us to 
 shift for ourselves in a forlorn Place in 
 this Wilderness. But, as it pleased God, 
 we got a Boat of some old Planters, and 
 laded her with Goods; and some able 
 men, well armed, went in her unto 
 Charlestown : where we found some Wig- 
 wams and one House, and in the House 
 there was a man which had a boiled Bass, 
 but no Bread that we see : but we did eat 
 of his Bass, and then went up Charles 
 
FAX-GAS

 River, until the River grew narrow and 
 shallow, and there we landed our Goods, 
 with Labour and Toil, the Bank being- 
 steep. And, Night coming on, we were 
 informed that there were hard by us 
 Three Hundred Indians. One English 
 man that could speak the Indian language 
 (an old Planter) went to them, and ad- 
 vised them not to come near us in the 
 Night, and they came not. In the Morn- 
 ing some of the Indians came and stood 
 at a distance off, looking at us, but came 
 not near us: but, when they had been 
 awhile in view, some of them came and 
 held out a great Bass (fish) towards us ; so 
 we sent a man with a Bisket (biscuit) 
 and changed the Cake for the Fish. 
 Afterwards they supplied us with Bass, 
 exchanging a Bass for a Bisket-Cake, and 
 were very friendly unto us. Alas! had 
 they come upon us, how soon might they 
 have destroyed us ! I think we were then 
 not above^Ten in number." 
 
 Faneuil Hall as a Theatre. 
 
 During the possession of Faneuil Hall 
 by the British, in 1775-6, it was used as a 
 theatre by the troops. In September, 
 1775, " Zara " was performed, General 
 Burgoyne having written the prologue 
 and epilogue. On January 8, 1776, a per- 
 formance was in progress, one of the 
 actors at the moment caricaturing 
 George Washington — when a sergeant 
 rushed upon the stage, shouting: "The 
 Yankees are attacking the works on 
 Bunker Hill!" The audience believed 
 this to be a part of the play, until an 
 aide-de-camp hastily gave the order — 
 " Officers to their posts! " and the play 
 was Over. 
 
 First Almanac. The first almanac 
 was published by John Foster, in 1678. 
 
 First Bank. The establishment of 
 the first bank (Massachusetts) was on 
 March 18, 1784. 
 
 / First Battles o£ the Revolu- 
 ' tionary War. The beginning of the 
 "War of the Revolutionary War was at 
 Lexington and Concord (near Boston), the 
 battles at those towns having been fought 
 April 19, 1775. 
 
 / First Board of Trade. A 
 
 Board of Trade was first organized in 
 Boston, April 28, 1854. 
 
 First Burying-Ground. The 
 
 first interments in King's Chapel Bury- 
 ing-ground were on June 5, 1630. 
 
 First Directory. The first Boston 
 Directory was issued in 1781.

 First Police in Boston. The 
 
 organization of Boston's first regular 
 police force took place June 20, 1822. 
 
 First Printing-Press. Amer- 
 ica's first printing-press was set up in 
 Cambridge, near Boston, in 1638, and one 
 was established in Boston, by John Foster, 
 in 1676. 
 
 First Railway in the United 
 
 States. Gridley Bryant's railway, 
 known as the Granite Railroad, was in 
 operation Oct. 7, 1826, when a train of 
 cars first passed over the whole length of 
 the road. Horses furnished the motive 
 power. Bryant also devised the switch, 
 the portable derrick, the turn-table and 
 moveable truck. The Granite Railroad 
 was four miles long and cost $50,000. It 
 was in use for forty years. It was located 
 in Quincy, near Boston. It afterwards 
 became the property of the Old Colony 
 Railroad Company, a modern railway 
 was laid on the right of way, and opened 
 Oct. 9, 1871, forty-five years after the 
 original opening of the Granite Railway 
 in 1826. 
 
 Freemen's Oath. The following is 
 a copy of the freeman's oath of colonial 
 times in Boston : 
 
 I, A. B., being by God's providence an 
 inhabitant and freeman within the juris- 
 diction of this Commonwealth, do freely 
 acknowledge myself to be subject to the 
 Government thereof, and, therefore, do 
 hereby swear by the great and dreadful 
 name of the Everlasting God that I will 
 be true and faithful to the same, and 
 will accordingly yield assistance and 
 support thereunto, with my person and 
 estate, as in equity I am bound; and I 
 will also truly endeavor to maintain and 
 preserve all the liberties and privileges 
 thereof, submitting myself to the whole- 
 some laws and orders made and estab- 
 lished by the same. And further, that I 
 will not plot nor practice any evil against 
 it, nor consent to any that shall so do; 
 but will truly discover and reveal the 
 same to lawful authority, now here es- 
 tablished for the speedy preventing 
 thereof. Moreover, I do solemnly bind 
 myself in the sight of God, that when I 
 shall be called to give my voice touching 
 any such matter of this State, wherein 
 freemen are to deal, I will give my vote 
 and suffrage as I judge, in mine own 
 conscience, may best conduce and tend 
 to the public weal of the body, without 
 respect of persons or favor of any man. 
 So help me God, in the Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
 Gas. Gas-light was seen in Boston 
 earlier than in any other place in the 
 United States, Nov. 26, 1815; the first 
 meeting of a Gas Company being held 
 July 14, 1826; and the first street gas-lamp 
 was lighted— in Dock Square— Jan. 1, 1829.

 GEN— HEA 
 
 General Gage and the Eos- 
 ton BoySo There have been poems 
 written, stories told, and pictures painted 
 of an event said to have had its occur- 
 rence in the early days of the Revolution, 
 when the Boston boys complained to 
 General Gage that their coasting-place on 
 Boston Common had been broken up by 
 the British soldiers. We find the follow- 
 ing account of the incident in Higgin- 
 son's Young Folks' History: " In Boston 
 the troops made themselves still more 
 unpopular. There was soon a quarrel be- 
 tween them and the boys, for the soldiers 
 used to beat down the snowhills that the 
 boys had heaped up on the Common. 
 After appealing in vain to the captain, 
 the boys finally went to Governor Gage 
 and complained. ' What! ' he said, ' have 
 your fathers been teaching you rebellion, 
 and sent you here to exhibit it ? ' — ' No- 
 body sent us, sir,' said one of the boys. 
 ' We have never injured nor insulted your 
 troops ; but they have trodden down our 
 snowhills, and " broken the ice on our 
 skating-ground. We complained, and 
 they called us young rebels, and told us 
 to help ourselves if we could. We told 
 the captains of this, and they laughed at 
 us. Yesterday our works were destroyed 
 for the third time, and we will bear it no 
 longer.' The Governor, with surprise, 
 said to one of his officers, ' The very 
 children here draw in a love of Liberty 
 with the air they breathe. You may go, 
 my brave boys, and be assured, if my 
 troops trouble you again they shall be 
 punished.' " 
 
 Gentlemen's Dress in 1795. 
 
 A New York merchant visiting Boston 
 in 1795 wrote home that " the broad aisle 
 of Brattle Street Church was lined by 
 gentlemen in wigs, with cocked hats, 
 and scarlet coats." Ruffles of lace, silk 
 stockings, and polished shoes, with 
 buckles, were also portions of the cos- 
 tume. 
 
 Going from Boston to Rox- 
 bury was a perilous journey in 1713. 
 In January of that year, " one'Bacon, of 
 Roxbury, going home in his slade (sled 
 or sleigh) with three horses, was bewil- 
 der'd in the dark, himself found dead 
 with the cold, next morning, one of the 
 horses drowned in the Marsh, the other 
 two not yet heard of." 
 
 Griffin's Wharf. Near the foot 
 of Pearl Street. Now known as Liver- 
 pool Wharf. This was the scene of the 
 famous "Boston Tea-Party. " (See Bos- 
 ton Tea-Party). In the spring of 1773 
 the East India Company obtained an Act 
 of Parliament authorizing the Company 
 to export Teas to America without pay- 
 ing the ordinary duty in England. Ships 
 were dispatched to America with the 
 Tea, on every pound of which a tax of 
 threepence had been imposed. The fol- 
 
 lowing graphic account of the result is 
 condensed from an article in the Memo- 
 rial History of Boston: " When this news 
 became known all America was in a 
 flame. The people had taken their stand 
 upon a principle, and not until that was 
 recognized would they withdraw their 
 opposition." 
 
 Hair-Dressing in 1800. Mon- 
 sieur Alexandre Lavigne, from Paris, 
 established a hair-dressing shop in 
 Boston, and announced that he would 
 arrange ladies' hair " in the Greek, Flora 
 or Virginia fashions," while the hair of 
 the gentlemen would be cut "a la 
 Brutus," or " a la Titus," as desired. 
 
 Harvard Theatre. A theatre 
 was opened in Cambridge, called the 
 Harvard Theatre, April 28, 1830. (See 
 Eventful Playbills). 
 
 Harvard University in 1781. 
 
 The distinguished Abbe Robin, of France, 
 wrote from Boston as follows, in 1781: 
 "The Europeans have long been con- 
 vinced of the natural and moral dangers 
 to be apprehended in acquiring education 
 in large towns. The Bostonians have 
 advanced farther; they have prevented 
 these dangers. Their University is at 
 Cambridge, seven miles from Boston on 
 the banks of Charles River, in a beautiful 
 and healthy situation. There are four Col- 
 leges, all of brick, and of a regular form. 
 The English troops made use of them as 
 barracks in 1775, and forced the professors 
 and students to turn out. The Library 
 contains more than 5,000 volumes; and 
 they have an excellent printing-house, 
 well furnished, that was originally in- 
 tended for a College for the native 
 Indians. To give you an idea of the 
 merit of the professors, it will be suffi- 
 cient to say that they correspond with 
 the literati of Europe, and that Mr. 
 Sewall in particular, Professor of the 
 Oriental languages, is one of those to 
 whom the Author of genius and ability 
 has been lavish of those gifts; their 
 pupils often act tragedies, the subject of 
 which is generally taken from their na- 
 tional events, such as the Battle of Bun- 
 ker's Hill, the Burning of Charlestown, 
 and the Fall of British Tyranny." (The 
 statement made by this writer that Cam- 
 bridge is seven miles from Boston arose 
 from the fact that in those days commu- 
 nication between the two places was by 
 way of Boston Neck. The distance by 
 present methods is about three miles). 
 
 Headquarters of Louis 
 Philippe. Louis Philippe stayed in 
 the Hancock House, in Corn Court,out of 
 Dock Square,while making his residence 
 in Boston during the French Reign of 
 Terror. 
 
HIS—JUL 
 
 Historical Swords. Thackeray's 
 celebrated story of "The Virginians" 
 opens as follows: " On the library wall of 
 one of the most famous writers of Ameri- 
 ca (William Hickling Prescott) there 
 hang two swords which his relations 
 wore in the great War of Independence. 
 The one sword was gallantly drawn in 
 the service of the King (by Captain Lin- 
 zee, commander of the Sloop-of-War 
 •"Falcon," which cannonaded the works 
 on Breed's (Bunker) Hill; the other was 
 the weapon of a brave and honored re- 
 publican soldier." (The latter was 
 Colonel William Prescott-, who threw up 
 the works on Bunker Hill, June 16, 1775). 
 Both of these swords are now to be seen 
 on the walls of the Massachusetts His- 
 torical Society's Booms, 30 Tremont st. 
 
 Home of General Joseph 
 "Warren. The residence of General 
 Joseph Warren — who fell at Bunker Hill 
 — was upon a site on Hanover Street, now 
 covered by the American House. 
 
 Home of Samuel Adams. The 
 
 residence of this patriot in 1769 was in 
 Brattle Square. 
 
 Home of Anne Hutchinson. 
 
 The residence of Anne Hutchinson stood 
 on the corner of Washington and School 
 streets where is now the Old Corner Book- 
 store. This remarkable woman, who, 
 said Coddington, " had broken no law of 
 God nor of man," was brutally banished 
 by Governor Winthrop, in 1636. What 
 was her offence? She had simply dared 
 to comment upon the sermons delivered 
 by the minister of that day. It is a mar- 
 vel that she escaped being hanged from 
 a branch of the Great Elm on the Com- 
 mon. 
 
 How Changes Go On. A writer 
 in the Boston Transcript of April 12, 
 1886, says: " The gradual changes that go 
 on from day to day and year to year are 
 not always appreciated by those who live 
 in them, but they become startling to 
 one who has been away and returns after 
 a lapse of time to a familiar place. When 
 I was a youngster, forty or more years 
 ago, I walked every morning from Rox- 
 bury over the Neck to State Street, and 
 was well acquainted with the houses and 
 places of business in the whole distance. 
 Within a few days I have again carefully 
 looked over the whole route. I find only 
 three parties continuing business be- 
 tween the Norfolk House and State 
 Street, who are now located where they 
 were in 1846. These are H, K. Taylor, 
 2316 Washington Street; Joseph T. 
 Brown, Washington Street, corner of 
 Bedford Street, and Little, Brown & 
 Co., near State Street. Less than forty 
 years — only thirty years, or a single gen- 
 eration — changes almost entirely the 
 names and occupations of a business 
 locality." 
 
 Increase Mather, preaching on 
 
 the great Fire in Boston in 1711 said: 
 " Has not God's holy day been profaned 
 in New England? Has it not been so in 
 Boston this last summer ? Have not bur- 
 dens been carried through the streets on 
 the Sabbath Day? Nay, have not bakers, 
 carpenters, and other tradesmen been 
 employed in servile works on the Sab- 
 bath Day ? When I saw this, my heart 
 said, ' Will not the Lord for this kindle a 
 fire in Boston ?' " 
 
 Indian Questions. John 
 
 Eliot,— the famous missionary to the In- 
 dians about Boston, in 1631, gave the fol- 
 lowing as among the questions asked him 
 by the Indians: " Whether ye Devil or 
 man was made first? Whether there 
 might not be something, — if only a 
 little, — gained by praying to ye Devil? 
 Why does not God, who has full power, 
 kill ye Devil that makes all men so bad ? 
 If God made hell in one of ye six days, 
 why did he make it before Adam had 
 sinned? If all ye world be burned up, 
 where shall hell be then ? Are all ye In- 
 dians, who have died, now in hell, while 
 only we are in ye way of getting to 
 Heaven? Why does nbt God give all 
 men good hearts, that they may be good? 
 Whither do dying little children go, see- 
 ing that they have not sinned? " 
 
 Indian Scalps. An old Proclama- 
 tion, — to be seen in a show-case at Bates 
 Hall, (Public Library, Boylston Street), 
 offering a bounty for Indian prisoners 
 and scalps, possesses great interest to 
 antiquarians It was issued by the Gov- 
 ernor of the Province of Massachusetts 
 Bay, in Boston, May 27, 1696, and offers 
 <( Fifty Pounds per Head for every Indian 
 Man, and Twenty-five Pounds per Head 
 for any Indian Woman, or Child (male or 
 female, under the age of fourteen years), 
 taken or brought in prisoner; the Scalps 
 of all Indians Slain to be produced and 
 delivered to the Commissioners for War, 
 etc." 
 
 John Hancock's Vanity. Han- 
 cock was as vain as a peacock. He was 
 sarcastically called "King Hancock." 
 A writer said, March 11, 1778, " John Han- 
 cock, of Boston, appears in public with 
 all the pageantry and state of an Oriental 
 prince. He rides in an elegant chariot, 
 attended by four servants dressed in 
 superb livery, mounted on fine horses 
 richly caparisoned, and escorted by fifty 
 horsemen with drawn sabres, one half of 
 whom precede, and the other follow, his 
 carriage." 
 
 Julien, the famous French caterer, 
 opened a " Restorator " in Boston in 1793. 
 (Who has not eaten the Julienne soup, 
 made from the receipt original with him?) 
 According to an advertisement of his 
 
18 
 
 KIN-LAW 
 
 in the American Apollo, of July 26, 1793, 
 he was " established in Leverett's Lane, 
 opposite the Quaker's Meeting-House, 
 where any person can call for as much 
 or as little refreshment as he pleases, and 
 pay for no more than he consumes. Ex- 
 cellent wines and cordials, good soups 
 and broths, pastry in all its delicious 
 variety, a la mode beef, bacon, poultry, 
 and generally all other refreshing viands 
 will be kept in due preparation." This 
 was probably the first eating-house to be 
 established on the a la carte plan in this 
 city or country. 
 
 King's Chapel. Tremont st., cor, 
 of School St. The old King's Chapel — 
 on the site of the present one — was built 
 in 1688, and was a small, unpretentious 
 building, of wood. Its steeple was sur- 
 mounted by a large rooster, under which 
 was a conspicuous crown. The steeple 
 was a very high one. The church had no 
 pews for several years; but, in 1693, some 
 English naval officers belonging to Sir 
 Erancis Wheeler's fleet, then in the har- 
 bor, contributed £56, and the pews were 
 built. The expensive communion service 
 was given by King James II. (for whom 
 the chapel was named) and Queen Mary 
 of England. The carpet, cushions, 
 Bible, prayer-book, surplices, etc., were 
 gifts from Queen Mary (of Modena). 
 The Chapel was rebuilt to more than 
 double its original size, in 1710. The first 
 organ ever used in America stood in the 
 western gallery. The walls- were hung 
 with the escutcheons of the. King and of 
 the Vice-Regal Governors. "It was a 
 strange sight among the bare churches 
 of New England." The present stone 
 Chapel was erected in 1749. On the 
 evacuation of Boston by the British, 
 March 17, 1776, Dr. Cauer, the rector, fled 
 with them, taking the plate, records, etc., 
 a portion of which were afterwards recov- 
 ered from his heirs . George Washington 
 attended an oratorio given here, Oct. 27, 
 1789. The old Latin schoolhouse having 
 been demolished to make room for the 
 extension of the stone Chapel, Joseph 
 Green, a noted writer of that period (who 
 lived on School Street, near the Crom- 
 well's Head Inn), wrote, in 1748, as fol- 
 lows: 
 " A fig for your learning! I tell you the 
 
 Town 
 To make the Church larger must pull the 
 
 School down! 
 'Unhappily spoken!' exclaims Master 
 
 Birch, 
 'Then Learning, it seems, stops the 
 
 growth of the Church! ' " 
 
 Kissing in Boston in Provin- 
 cial Times. According to Edward 
 Ward, who came from London to Boston 
 in 1699, " If you Kiss a woman in public, 
 though offered as a courteous salutation, 
 if any information is given to the Select 
 members, both shall be whipped or fined. 
 
 But the good-humored lasses, to make 
 you amends, Mill Kiss the Kinder in a 
 corner! A captain of a ship, who had 
 been on a long voyage, happened to meet 
 his wife and Kissed her in the street, for 
 which he was fined ten shillings, and 
 forced to pay the money. Another in- 
 habitant of the town was fined ten shil- 
 lings for Kissing his own wife in his 
 garden, and, obstinately refusing to pay 
 the money, endured twenty lashes. And 
 at this rate one of the delightfulest cus- 
 toms in the world will in time be quite 
 thrown out of fashion, to the old-folk 
 satisfaction, but to the yoimg one's lam- 
 entation, who love it as well in New 
 England as we do in the Old." 
 
 Lafayette's Headquarters. 
 
 The celebrated old Ticknor House, on the 
 corner of Beacon and Park Streets, — 
 built in 1804, by Thomas Amory — was 
 occupied by Lafayette during his sojourn 
 in Boston in 1824. (George Ticknor, the 
 famous historian of Spanish literature, 
 lived and died in this renowned building, 
 which is still standing in an excellent 
 state of preservation). It is recorded 
 that when on Harvard University Com- 
 mencement Day, Mayor Quincy called for 
 Lafayette at this house, a large crowd 
 gathered about the carriage. " Have you 
 ever been in Europe, Mr. Quincy? " asked 
 Lafayette. "No," replied the Mayor. 
 " Then," rejoined Lafayette, " you can 
 have no idea of the character of a crowd 
 in Europe. I declare, in comparison, the 
 people of Boston seem to me like a popu- 
 lation selected from the whole human 
 race." Charles Sprague, the eminent 
 poet, wrote the following inscription for 
 an arch placed on Washington Street, 
 just above Dover Street, under which 
 Lafayette passed when received by the 
 eity: 
 
 "The fathers in glory shall sleep 
 
 That gathered with thee to the fight; 
 But the sons will eternally keep 
 The tablet of gratitude bright: 
 We bow not the neck; we bend not the 
 
 knee; 
 But our hearts, Lafayette, we surrender 
 to thee!" 
 
 Law Against Wearing Lace. 
 
 In 1636, the General Court, sitting in Bos- 
 ton, issued the following order: "The 
 Court, taking into consideration the 
 great, superfluous, and unnecessary ex- 
 penses occasioned .by reason of some 
 new and immodest fashions, as also the 
 ordinary wearing of silver, gold and silk 
 laces, girdles, hat-bands, &c, hath there- 
 fore ordered that no person, either man 
 or women, shall hereafter make or buy 
 any apparel, either woolen, silk or linen, 
 with any lace on it, silver, gold, silk or 
 thread, under the penalty of forfeiture 
 of such clothes." 
 
LAW— OLD 
 
 19 
 
 Law Prohibiting the "Use of 
 
 Tobacco. In 1636, it was "ordered 
 that no person shall take tobacco public- 
 ly, nor privately in his own house, under 
 the penalty of two shillings and six 
 pence." 
 
 Xiions and Bears* According to 
 "William Wood, who wrote in 1634 con- 
 cerning the animals in Boston and vicin- 
 ity, the following were here : 
 
 "The kingly Lion and the strong-arm'd 
 Beare, 
 
 The large-lim'd Mooses, with the trip- 
 ping Deare, 
 
 Quill-darting Porcupines and Raekcoones 
 be 
 
 Castell'd in the hollow of an aged tree." 
 
 Lord Percy's Headquarters. 
 
 At the corner of Essex and Columbia 
 Streets Lord Percy's headquarters were 
 established during the British occupation 
 of Boston in 1775-6. The building was 
 demolished in April, 1886. 
 
 Margaret Jones was noted as 
 the first witch executed in Massachu- 
 setts. She was hanged in Boston, June 15, 
 1648, forty-four years before the Danvers 
 (Salem Village) witchcraft. John Hale 
 wrote of Margaret Jones as follows: 
 " She was suspected, partly because that, 
 after some angry words passing between 
 her and her neighbors, some mischief be- 
 fell such neighbors in their creatures 
 (cattle) or the like; partly because some 
 things supposed to be bewitched, or have 
 a charm upon them, being burned, she 
 came to the fire and seemed concerned. 
 The dayof her execution I went, in com- 
 pany of some neighbors who took great 
 pains to bring her to confession and re- 
 pentance; but she constantly professed 
 herself innocent of that crime. Then 
 one prayed her to consider if God did not 
 bring this punishment upon her for some 
 other crime; and asked if she had not 
 been guilty of stealing many years ago. 
 She answered, she had stolen something; 
 but it was long since, and she • had re- 
 pented of it, and there was grace enough 
 in Christ to pardon that long ago ; but as 
 for witchcraft she was wholly free from 
 it, — and so she said unto her death." 
 
 Marriage in Boston in 1687. 
 
 Wrote a French visitor in that year: 
 "The English who inhabit these coun- 
 tries are, as elsewhere, good and bad, 
 but one sees more of the latter than the 
 former, and they do not lead good lives. 
 There are in Boston those who practice 
 no formality of marriage except in -join- 
 ing hands;" 
 
 Mary Chilton. In King's Chapel 
 Burying-ground (on Tremont Street, near 
 School Street) was buried Mary Chilton, 
 
 who was the first woman to come ashore at 
 Plymouth. She afterwards became the 
 wife of John Winslow, and died in 1679. 
 The following lines are from a poem by 
 George Bancroft Griffith : 
 
 " Fair beams that kiss the sparkling Bay 
 Rest warmest o'er her tranquil sleep. 
 
 Sweet exile ! love enticed away 
 The first on Plymouth Rock to leap! 
 
 O ye who 'round King's Chapel stray, 
 Forget the turmoil of the street; 
 
 Though loftier names are 'round her, lay 
 A wreath of flowers at Mary's feet! " 
 
 Music in the Public Schools. 
 The Hawes School, South Boston, has the 
 honor of having been the first school in 
 the city into which the study of music 
 was introduced — Lowell Mason being the 
 teacher— in 1838. 
 
 New England's Crisis, a poem 
 by Benjamin Thompson, " ye renowned 
 poet of Boston," in 1682, contrasts the 
 degeneracy of that period with the good 
 old days when — 
 
 "Men had better stomachs at religion 
 Than I to capon, turkeycock or pigeon, 
 When honest sisters met to pray, not 
 
 prate 
 About their own and not their neighbor's 
 
 state." 
 
 Odd, Old Advertisement. 
 
 The following is a copy of an advertise- 
 ment which appeared in the Boston 
 Columbian Centinel, April 13, 1802: 
 
 A Curious Machine has lately been 
 advertised, which will churn, scrape 
 2?otatoes, rock a cradle and darn stock- 
 ings ! However curious and useful this 
 may appear, there is another machine 
 (old invention) which not only performs 
 all these things, but even more — it en- 
 ables us to obtain them! This last ma- 
 chine is in the form of a lottery-wheel; 
 and if any dispute its superiority over 
 the new invention, let them purchase a 
 ticket and try the experiment! 
 
 Oldest Charitable Society. 
 
 The oldest mutual relief organization in 
 Boston, and probably in the country, is 
 the " Scots' Charitable Society," which 
 was founded in 1657. In the language of 
 their own records, " Some Gentlemen 
 Merchants and others of the Scots' Nation 
 residing in Boston, New England, from a 
 compassionate concern & affection to 
 their indigent Countrymen in these parts, 
 voluntarily formed themselves into a 
 Charitable Society, Anno Domini, 1657." 
 In referring to this Society, Edward 
 Everett said: "It would be doing in- 
 justice to a Society of this description, 
 though it may bear a foreign name, to re- 
 gard it as an institution of foreigners." 
 Since then there have been formed in 
 
20 
 
 OLD 
 
 Boston Societies designed for the relief 
 of the English, German, French, Italian, 
 Irish, Belgian, Portuguese, Swiss, Scan- 
 dinavian and Hebrew residents. 
 
 Old-Fogyism in Boston. The 
 
 following, an editorial in the Courier of 
 June 27, 1827, reads oddly enough to-day: 
 " Alcibiades, or some other great man of 
 antiquity, it is said, cut off his dog's tail 
 that quidnuncs might not become extinct 
 from want of excitement. Some such 
 notion, we doubt not, moved one or two 
 of our natural and experimental philoso- 
 phers to get up the project of a railroad 
 from Boston to Albany, — a project which 
 every one knows, who knows the simplest 
 rule in arithmetic, to be impracticable, 
 but at an expense little less than the 
 market value of the whole territory of 
 Massachusetts; and which, if practicable, 
 every person of common-sense knows 
 would be as useless as a railroad from 
 Boston to the moon." This is a specimen 
 of the conservative spirit that has hin- 
 dered progress in Boston for scores of 
 years. 
 
 Old. Isms. In the early days of the 
 town of Boston the Inns — or Taverns — 
 were built like those of England, and 
 named in a similar manner. After the 
 Declaration of Independence, however, 
 the feeling of hatred toward the mother 
 country was so intense that in common 
 with many other English fashions, this 
 form of nomenclature was abandoned. 
 The same spirit was exhibited in chang- 
 ing the names of the streets, and Royal 
 Alley became Blackstone Street, Queen 
 Street became Court Street , King Street 
 became State Street. Of late years, a 
 reaction has set in, and streets and hotels 
 are being named after the English. Wit- 
 ness our Royal, Victoria, Brunswick, 
 Bristol, Berkeley and other hotels, and 
 our Arlington, Clarendon, Dartmouth, 
 Exeter, Gloucester, Hereford, Marl- 
 borough, Newbury and other streets. 
 The following were some of the famous 
 Inns of olden times: "The Green 
 Dragon," the most noted of them all, in 
 Union Street; the " Red Lyon Inn," on 
 the corner of North and Richmond 
 Streets, kept by Nicholas Upsall, a 
 Quaker; "Black Horse Inn," on what is 
 now Prince Street; the " Ship Tavern," 
 or "Noah's Ark," corner of North and 
 Clark Streets; " The Golden Candlestick; " 
 "The Key;" "The Star Tavern;" "The 
 Elephant Tavern;" "The Blue Anchor," 
 "The Bunch of Grapes," etc. On old 
 Newbury Street (now Washington Street, 
 near West Street) " The White Horse," 
 "The Lion" and "The Lamb Tavern." 
 (The " Lamb Tavern " was the original of 
 the present Adams House). There is still 
 open in Williams Court, leading from 
 Court Square to Washington Street, an 
 old alehouse called " TheBell-in-Hand." 
 
 Old Names of Streets. It is in- 
 teresting to trace the changes that have 
 taken place in the street-nomenclature of 
 Boston. What was called Adams Square 
 in 1880 was named Dock Square in 1710, and 
 Around the Towne Dock in 1673; Boylston 
 Street in 1808 was Frog Lane in 1699; 
 Devonshire Street, in 1786, was Pudding 
 Lane in 1709 and afterwards Black Jack 
 Alley; Exchange Street in 1816 was for- 
 merly Royal Exchange Lane ; High Street, 
 since 1798, was Cow Lane in 1707; Hollis 
 Street, since 1732, was Broad Alley in 1721; 
 Kilby Street, since 1769, was Mackerel 
 Lane in 1708; Leverett Street,_named 1733, 
 -was Green Lane previously; IS orth Street, 
 1853, was Ann Street, Ship Street, Fish 
 Street, etc., in portions; Park Street, 1S03, 
 was Centry (Sentry) in 1783; Williams 
 Court was Peck's Arch; Portland Street, 
 1807, was Cold Lane in 1707; Prince Street, 
 in 1708, was Black Horse Lane in 1690; 
 Province Street, in 1834, was Governor's 
 Alley in 1730; Salem Street was Back 
 Street; State Street, in 1781, was King 
 Street in 1707; Summer Street, 1708, was 
 Seven Star Lane; Temple Place, 1830, was 
 Turnagain Alley in 1708; Tileston Street, 
 1820, was Love Lane in 1709; Walnut 
 Street, 1799, was Coventry in 1733; Wash- 
 ington Street, 1788, bore several names; 
 the part of it from Dock Square to School 
 Street was called Cornhill — from School 
 to Winter Street it was known as Marl- 
 borough— from Winter to Essex it was 
 Neweberry (or Newbury) — and above Es- 
 sex Street it was Orange Street. These 
 names were all consolidated into Wash- 
 ington Street about 1823. Winter Street, 
 in 1708, had been called Blott's Lane, etc. 
 (Boston not only had Spring, Summer 
 and Winter Streets nearly a century ago, 
 but it also had its Milk and Water 
 Streets). 
 
 r Old South End. In 1816 the South 
 End of Boston was in the vicinity of 
 Hanover Street, near its present junction 
 with Washington Street. How the old 
 fogies of those days would have stared at 
 one who should have expressed the 
 opinion that in less than a hundred years 
 the South End would be miles away, and 
 the extreme North End take its place. 
 Boston still possesses its old fogies. 
 
 Old Time Bill-o£-Fare. Cap- 
 tain Roger Clap, from Plymouth, England, 
 who settled in Dorchester, in May, 1630, 
 wrote to his children in England as fol- 
 lows: "It is not accounted a strange 
 thing to drink Water, and to eat Samp, 
 or Homine, without Butter or Milk. In- 
 deed it would be a strange thing to see a 
 piece of Roast Beef, Mutton or Veal; 
 though it was not long before there was 
 roast Goat. Once I had a Peck of Corn 
 for a little Puppy-Dog. Frost-fish, Mus- 
 cles and Clams are a relief to many." 
 
OLD-PAR 
 
 21 
 
 Old-Time Boston Dudes, in 
 
 April, 1800, a writer in the Centinel de- 
 scribes " the Frenchified American beau" 
 in Boston streets, with shaggy hair, 
 spotted linen neckerchief, and a green 
 coat. " His hat is about the size of Aunt 
 Tabby's snuff-box, and is stuck upon the 
 very crown of his head. In his hand he 
 commonly carries a stick of wood, which 
 seems to weary him very much, especially 
 in summer." 
 
 ©Id-Time Conservatism. 
 
 "When the idea of constructing the Old 
 Colony Railway was first advanced, there 
 was a public meeting held in Quincy to 
 protest against it. One speaker stated 
 that the opening of such a communica- 
 tion with Boston would affect the price 
 of oats, and destroy the business of a 
 stage proprietor who carried six or eight 
 passengers to and from the city every 
 day. Dorchester was equally opposed to 
 the construction of the road, and the 
 people there desired to have the tracks 
 laid only in the outskirts of the town. 
 
 Old-Time Picture of Boston. 
 
 Count de Rochambeau was sent from 
 France in 1780 with six thousand men 
 to assist the United States in the War 
 for Independence. He was accompanied 
 by the Abbe Robin, chaplain, and a 
 famous writer of that day, who wrote 
 home in June, 1781, as follows: "Wind 
 and weather brought us safe into the 
 harbour of Boston. We discovered 
 through the woods, on the side toward 
 the West, a magnificent prospect of 
 houses, built on a curved line, and ex- 
 tending afterwards in a semi-circle above 
 half a league. This was Boston. These 
 edifices, which were lofty and regular, 
 with spires and cupolas intermixt at 
 proper distances, did not seem to us a 
 modern settlement so much as an ancient 
 city, enjoying all the embellishments and 
 population that never fail to attend on 
 Commerce and the Arts." 
 
 Old-Time Punishments, in 
 
 addition to the stocks and the pillory, 
 Colonial laws required criminals to wear 
 in public and in private, letters designat- 
 ing the nature of their offences. Thus 
 drunkards wore a capital letter D ; here- 
 tics the letter H; adulterers the letter 
 A, etc., sewed upon the breasts or sleeves 
 of their outer clothes. (Hawthorne, 
 in his " Scarlet Letter," takes one of 
 those punished by this law for a heroine, 
 laying the scene of his story in Boston. 
 A dramatization of this tale was pro- 
 duced at the Boston Theatre, a few years 
 since, with Jean Davenport Lander in 
 the leading role of Hester Prynne). 
 Hester Prynne was buried in King's 
 Chapel Burying-ground, near the corner 
 of Tremont and School sts. 
 
 Opening o£ a Railway. The 
 
 Boston Advertiser of May 12, 1834, con- 
 tained the following advertisement : 
 
 BOSTON AND WORCESTER RAIL- 
 ROAD. The Passenger Cars will run 
 daily from the Depot, near Washington 
 Street, to Newton, at 6 and 10 o'clock, 
 A. M., and at 3£ o'clock, P. M., and Re- 
 turning, leave Newton at 7, and a quar- 
 ter past 11, A. M., and a quarter before 
 
 5, P. M. Tickets for the passage, either 
 way, may be had at the Ticket Office,

 Opening of Boston Rail- 
 ways. Boston and Worcester, to 
 Newton, May 16, 1834; to Worcester, July 
 4, 1835. Boston and Providence, June 11, 
 1835. Boston and Lowell, June 27, 1835. 
 
 Opening of the Public Gar- 
 den. The beautiful Public Garden of 
 Boston— said to be the finest example of 
 public flower-gardening in the country — 
 was enclosed in May, 1863, when it first 
 became one of the pleasure grounds of 
 Boston. 
 
 Painter's Arms. A painter, who 
 came from England in 1701, opened a 
 little shop on what is now known as Mar- 
 shall Street, on the corner of Hanover 
 Street, and, as was the custom in those 
 days, placed in the front of his house his 
 coat-of-arms, carved in wood. This carv- 
 ing is to-day to be seen in a well-preserved 
 condition, embedded in the front wall of 
 the building standing on this corner (Han- 
 over and Marshall sts.) and attracts the 
 attention of antiquarians from all parts of 
 the country. It is in close proximity to an- 
 other noted land-mark, the Boston Stone 
 —described under its proper head in this 
 Cyclopedia — and they constitute two of 
 the most famous historical features of 
 even the historic old North End of Bos- 
 ton, which abounds in the most interest- 
 ing points of interest to those who take 
 a just pride in the early important events 
 of our nation's progress. 
 
 Panda Pirates. The notorious 
 " Panda " pirates, twelve in number, 
 were tried in October, 1834; five of them 
 were hanged, June 9, 1835, and a sixth 
 met the same fate, September 12, 1835. 
 
 Parade of the Ancient and 
 Honorable Artillery, October 
 
 6, 1701. Samuel Sewall, commander 
 of this renowned Company (organized in 
 1638 and still flourishing), gave the fol- 
 lowing account of a training-day: " Very 
 pleasant fair wether; artillery trains in 
 
22 
 
 PAT-PIR 
 
 the afternoon (Sewall in command); 
 march with the company to the Enn. 
 Go to prayer, march down and shoot at a 
 mark. By far the most missed, as I did 
 for the first. Were much contented with 
 the exercise. Led them to the trees agen; 
 perform'd some facings and doublings. 
 Drew them together, propounded the 
 question about the colours ; 'twas voted 
 very freely and fully. I informed the 
 Company I was told the Company's hal- 
 berds, etc., were borrowed; I understood 
 the leading staff was so, and therefore 
 ask'd their acceptance of a Half-Pike, 
 which they very kindly did. They would 
 needs give me a volley, in token of their 
 Respect, on this occasion. The Pike will, 
 I supose, stand me in f ourty shillings, 
 being headed and shod with silver. Were 
 treated, by the Ensign, in a fair cham- 
 ber." This report is from Sewall's Diary. 
 
 Patriotic Women of Old Bos- 
 ton. In 1768, three hundred married 
 women of Boston signed an agreement 
 not to drink tea until the revenue act 
 should be repealed. The young maidens 
 followed, agreeing to the following: 
 "We, the daughters of those patriots 
 who have appeared . . . for the public 
 interest ... do now with pleasure 
 engage with them in denying ourselves 
 the drinking of foreign tea." 
 
 Paul Revere' s Home. Paul 
 
 Revere's house stood on Charter Street, 
 near the foot of Hanover Street, where 
 Revere Place is now. It was a three- 
 story brick house, painted light yellow, 
 with the end to the street, the door open- 
 ing upon a small green space. It was 
 destroyed about the year 1847, giving 
 way to the tide of " improvement " which 
 has engulfed so many of Boston's historic 
 old landmarks, and bids fair to continue 
 to pursue its irresistible course. 
 
 Pen-Picture of Boston in 
 1654. Edward Johnson wrote and 
 sent to London for publication the fol- 
 lowing description of Boston in 1654: 
 "The Center Towne and Metropolis of 
 this Wilderness is Boston. The chief 
 Edifice of this City-like Towne is crowded 
 on the Sea-bankes, and wharfed out with 
 great industry and cost; the buildings 
 beautiful and large, some fairlv set forth 
 with Brick, Tile, Stone and Slate, and 
 orderly placed with comly streets, whose 
 continuall inlargement presages some 
 sumptuous City. The wonder of this 
 modern age is that a few years Should 
 bring forth such great matters by so 
 meane a handfull. But now behold the 
 admirable acts of Christ; at this, His 
 people's landing, the hideous Thickets at 
 this place were such that Wolfes and 
 Beares nurst up their young, from the 
 eyes of all beholders, in those very places 
 where the streets are now full of Girles 
 and Boys, sporting up and down, with a 
 continued concourse of People." 
 
 Peter Faneuil, who gave Faneuil 
 Hall to the town of Boston, was fond of 
 good living. In March, 1742, he wrote to 
 one of his correspondents in London: 
 " Send me, by the very first opportunity 
 for this place, five pipes of your very 
 best Madeira wine, of an amber colour, 
 of the same sort which you sent to our 
 good friend DeLancey, of New York. 
 As this wine is for the use of my house, I 
 hope you will be careful that I have the 
 best." In another letter, he wrote : "Send 
 me the latest, best book of the several 
 sorts of cookery, which pray let be of the 
 largest character, for the benefit of the 
 maid's reading." 
 
 Pic+ure of the Boston of a 
 Hundred Years Ago. From an 
 address delivered bv Rev. Dr. George E. 
 Ellis, we take the following description 
 of old Boston: " The homes of many of 
 the merchant princes and high magis- 
 trates were relatively more palatial than 
 are any in the city to-day. They stood 
 conspicuous and large, surrounded by 
 generous spaces, with lawns and trees, 
 with fruit and vegetable gardens, and 
 fields for pasture, and coach and cattle 
 barns. There were fine equipages, with 
 black coachmen and footmen. There 
 were still wide unfenced spaces, and de- 
 clivities and thickets, where the bar- 
 berry-bush, the flag and the mullein-stalk 
 grew undisturbed. There were many 
 quaint old nooks and corners, taverns and 
 inns, coffee-houses— the drinking-vessels 
 in which were not especially adapted to 
 that beverage— shops designated by em- 
 blems and symbols, loitering places for 
 news and gossip, resorts of white boys 
 and negroes for play or roguery, and 
 some dark holes on wharf or lane. . . . 
 There were some two thousand buildings, 
 four being of stone, of which King's 
 Chapel alone remains. Between Beacon 
 and the foot of Park Street stood the 
 Workhouse, the Poorhouse and the Bride- 
 well,— all facing the Common. On the 
 site of the present Park Street Church 
 stood the Granary; opposite, a large 
 manuf actorv-building used by the British 
 for a hospital. The Jail occupied the 
 site of the present Court-House. King 
 and Queen Streets— now State and Court 
 Streets— were the most compactly cov- 
 ered, and lined with taverns, dwellings, 
 marts and offices of exchange. The 
 House provided by the Province for the 
 British Governor was opposite the Old 
 South, standing far back, stately, com- 
 modious, with lawn and trees to Wash- 
 ington Street. The old State House, with 
 a dignitv which it has not now, held the 
 Halls of the Council and the Representa- 
 tives, with Roval portraits and adorn- 
 ings. How little is there here now which 
 the patriots and citizens of the old days, 
 if they came back, would recognize! " 
 
 Pirates in Provincial Times. 
 
 William Fly was hanged at Nix's Mate, 
 
PLA— QUA 
 
 23 
 
 Boston Harbor, for piracy, and his body 
 left upon the gibbet, his bones hanging 
 and rattling in the air for a long time, as 
 a warning to pirates. This was in May, 
 1726, yet the superstitious believe that 
 the ghost of William Fly still haunts 
 Nix's Mate. 
 
 Plays in Boston in 1114. A 
 letter written by Judge Samuel Sewall, 
 March 3, 1714, contains the following: 
 " There is a Rumor, as if some designed 
 to have a Play acted in the Council 
 chamber next Monday, which niucli sur- 
 prises me, and as much as in me lies, I 
 do forbid it. The Romans were very 
 fond of their Plays; but I never heard 
 they were so far set upon them as to turn 
 their Senat House into a Play House. It 
 cannot be a Honor to the Queen to have 
 the Laws of Honesty and Sobriety broken 
 in upon. Let not Christian Boston goe 
 beyond Heathen Rome in the practice of 
 Shamefull Vanities." 
 
 Plea for More Manufactur- 
 ers. The Boston Gazette, in the Spring 
 of 1788, said: "Until we manufacture 
 more it is absurd to celebrate the Fourth 
 of July as the birthday of our independ- 
 ence. We are still a dependent people; 
 and what is worse, after the blood and 
 treasure we have expended, we are actu- 
 ally taxed by Great Britain." 
 
 Popular Old Comic Songs. 
 
 In 1829 one of the most popular comic 
 songs, sung in Boston (at the theatre), 
 and at Harvard College (before the stu- 
 dents in the college yard, by actors from 
 Boston), was " Judy O'Callaghan;" which 
 had the following refrain: 
 
 " Only say 
 That you love Barney O'Flanaghan; 
 
 Don't say nay, 
 Charming Judy O'Callaghan! " 
 
 Proclamation by Washing- 
 ton. The following is a copy of a highly 
 interesting old document: 
 
 By His Excellency 
 
 Geokge Washington, Esq.: 
 
 Captain-General and Commander-in- 
 Chief of the Forces of the Thirteen 
 United Colonies. 
 
 WHEREAS the Ministerial Army 
 have abandoned the Town of Bos- 
 ton; and the Forces of the United Col- 
 onies, under my command, are in pos- 
 session of the same : 
 
 I have therefore thought it necessary 
 for the Preservation of Peace, Good Order 
 and Discipline, to publish the following 
 Orders, that no person offending therein 
 may plead Ignorance as an Excuse for 
 "heir Misconduct. 
 
 All Officers and Soldiers are hereby or- 
 dered to live in the strictest Peace and 
 
 Amity with the Inhabitants ; and no In- 
 habitant or other Person employed in his 
 lawful business in the Town is to be 
 molested in his Person or Property, on 
 any pretence whatever.— If any Officer 
 or Soldier shall presume to strike, im- 
 prison or otherwise ill-treat any of the 
 Inhabitants, they may depend on being 
 punished with the utmost severity — and 
 if any Officer or Soldier shall receive any 
 insult from any of the inhabitants, he is 
 to seek Redress in a Legal Way, and 
 no other. 
 
 # ###### # 
 
 All Officers of the Continental Army are 
 enjoined to assist the Civil Magistrates 
 in the execution of their Duty, and to 
 promote Peace and Good Order.— They 
 are to prevent as much as possible, the 
 Soldiers from frequenting Tippling- 
 Houses.

 Protest Against Sabbatarian 
 Laws. In 1802 the following appeared 
 in the Centinel : 
 
 " In Superstition's days, 'tis said 
 Hens laid two eggs on Monday, 
 
 Because a hen would lose her head 
 That laid an egg on Sunday. 
 
 Now our wise rulers and the law 
 Say none shall wash on Sunday; 
 
 So Boston folks must dirty go ; 
 And wash them twice on Monday." 
 
 This was written in consequence of the 
 law forbidding bathing on Sunday at the 
 foot of the Common. 
 
 Punishment of Women in 
 
 1648. In this year of our Lord in 
 Boston, a Mrs. Oliver was publicly 
 whipped for " reproaching the magis- 
 trates," and had a cleft stick put on her 
 tongue for half an hour for " reproaching 
 the elders." 
 
 r Punishment for Profanity. 
 
 In June, 1631, Philip Ratcliff had his ears 
 cut off for using profanity. 
 
 Quakers in Roxbury. May 28, 
 
 1661, Judah Browne and Peter Pierson, 
 Quakers, were tied to a cart's tail and 
 whipped through the town with 10 stripes 
 after receiving 20 stripes at Boston. 
 
 Quakers were hanged and buried on 
 Boston Common, near the Great Elm, in 
 1660. Governor Endicott was bitterly 
 opposed to religious freedom for others, 
 although he insisted upon having it for 
 himself. That spirit of intolerance exists 
 to-day among certain people, but it has 
 happily almost died out. Longfellow, in 
 
24 
 
 QUA— SAM 
 
 his " John Endicott," puts the following 
 words into the Governor's mouth, but 
 they do not agree with the extreme 
 measures advocated by that bigoted 
 functionary for exterminating the 
 Quakers : . 
 
 " Four already have been slain; 
 And others banished upon pain of death, 
 But they come back again to meet their 
 
 doom, 
 Bringing the linen for their winding- 
 sheets. 
 "We must not go too far. In truth I 
 
 shrink 
 From shedding of more blood. The 
 
 people murmur 
 At our severity." 
 
 Hawthorne based his " Gentle Boy " — 
 one of his " Twice-told Tales " on the per- 
 secutions of the Quakers in Boston. 
 
 Quarrel at the Town Pump. 
 
 An Englishman, Edward Ward, in 16y9, 
 wrote home to London: " I was mightily 
 pleased, one morning, with a contention 
 between two boys at a pump in Boston, 
 about who should draw water first. One 
 jostled the other from the handle, and he 
 would fill his bucket first, because his 
 master said prayers and sung psalms 
 twice a day in his family, and the other's 
 master did not. To which the witty knave 
 made this reply: ' Our house stands back 
 in a court. If my master had a room 
 next the street, as your master has, he'd 
 pray twice to your master's once, that he 
 would ; and therefore I'll fill my pail first, 
 marry will I! ' and did accordingly." The 
 old Town Pump, here referred to, stood 
 in the middle of Washington Street, a 
 few yards north of Court Street towards 
 Cornhill. 
 
 Railway Speed in 1834. We 
 
 read in the Boston Advertiser of April 8, 
 1834, that the engine of the trial train 
 run the day before between Boston and 
 Newton " travelled with ease at the rate 
 of twenty miles an hour." 
 
 Regulating the Height of 
 
 Dogs. July 1, 1728, dogs were so 
 numerous in Boston that a law was 
 passed forbidding any person to keep 
 a dog " above ten inches in height." 
 
 Roxbury in 1634. In a work 
 called " New Englands Prospect," by 
 William Wood, — "printed at London, 
 at the Three Golden Lvons in Corne-hill, 
 neere the Royall Exchange, 1634," — Box- 
 berry is described as " a faire and hand- 
 some Countrey-towne, the inhabitants of 
 it being all very rich. It is well-woodded 
 and watered, having a cleare and fresh 
 Brooke running through the Towne." 
 
 Sabbath-Breaking. in "ye 
 
 olden tyme" any form of Sabbath- 
 breaking was looked after very care- 
 
 fully. Sunday began at sunset on Satur- 
 day. Shopkeepers were not allowed to 
 keep open on Saturday evening. Wit- 
 ness the following copy of a proclamation 
 issued by the town authorities : 
 
 Boston, June 9, 1746. 
 By order of His Majesty's Justices of the 
 Peace in the town of Boston: Whereas 
 there appears a growing negligence of 
 duly observing and keeping the Lord's 
 Day, the Justices in the town of Boston 
 have agreed to Walk and observe the 
 Behaviour of the People of said Town 
 of Boston on said Day; and they judge 
 it proper to give this Public Notice 
 thereof; and all persons profaning the 
 Lords' Day by walking, standing in the 
 streets, or any other way Breaking the 
 Laws made for the due observation of 
 the Lord's Day, may expect the execu- 
 tion of the Law upon them for all dis- 
 orders of this kind. 
 
 Samuel Adams. The people of 
 the United States can never sufficiently 
 revere the memory of Samuel Adams. 
 He was born in Boston, Sept. 16, 1722; 
 graduated at Harvard College 1740; took 
 his Master's Degree 1743; proposed a 
 Union of the Colonies in Opposition to 
 the Parliament of Great Britain, 1764; 
 declared for Independence, 1768; de- 
 manded the removal of the British 
 Troops from Boston, 1770; opposed the 
 Landing of the Tea, 1773; signed the 
 Declaration of Independence, 1776; died, 
 in Boston, Oct. 2, 1803, in his 82d year; 
 committed to the Checkley Tomb, 
 Granary Burying-Ground. Adams has 
 justly been termed " The Father of the 
 American Bevolution." Among the 
 other titles bestowed upon him have 
 heeii "The American Cato," "The Chief 
 Incendiary," "Tribune of the People," 
 " Cromwell of New England," " The Last 
 of the Puritans," etc. Adams was born in 
 Purchase Street. When fourteen years of 
 age, he was admitted to Harvard, with the 
 intention of becoming a minister, stimu- 
 lated as he had been, by the preacbing 
 of Edwards and Whitefield. His father, 
 becoming unsuccessful in business, 
 placed him in a mercantile position. 
 He then began to take strong interest 
 in public affairs. In 1765 Adams was 
 sent to the Legislature, and annually 
 after that for ten years. He was a leader, 
 with pen and voice. Governor Hutchin- 
 son termed him "Master of the Pup- 
 pets." Governor Barnard said of Adams : 
 " Every dip of his pen stings like a horned 
 snake." Governor Gage offered to confer 
 upon him such benefits as would be satis- 
 factory, if he would withdraw his oppo- 
 sition to the administration, and, by 
 changing his course, make his peace with 
 King Henry VIII. Adams answered, 
 " Sir, I trust I have long since made my 
 peace with the King of Kings! " Wit- 
 nessing the Battle of Lexington he said 
 to Hancock: "What a glorious morning 
 
SAT-SWE 
 
 25 
 
 for America! " Neither "Washington nor 
 Jefferson were in favor of cutting loose 
 from the mother country at this time; 
 hut Adams considered that the 19th of 
 April had done away with British rule in 
 the Colonies. Samuel Adams was "the 
 organizer of the American Revolution." 
 
 Saturday Night Law. In Octo- 
 her, 1679, the General Court ordered that 
 " there be a ward from sunset on Satur- 
 day night, until nine of the clock or after, 
 consisting of one of the selectmen or con- 
 stables of Boston who shall walk between 
 the fortifications and the town's end, 
 and, upon no pretence whatsoever, suffer 
 any cart to pass out of the town after 
 sunset; nor any footman or horseman 
 without such good account of the neces- 
 sity of his business as may be to their 
 satisfaction." 
 
 Settlers of 1630. In the New 
 
 England's Memorial (1669) mention is 
 made of several of the early English 
 settlers of Boston (1630) as follows: " That 
 blessed Servant of Christ, Mr. Isaac 
 Johnson; that Reverend and Worthy 
 man, Mr. John Wilson, eminent for Love 
 and Zeal; and that famous Patern of 
 Piety and Justice, Mr. John Winthrop, 
 with divers other precious Sons of Sion, 
 which might be compared to the most 
 fine gold." 
 
 Servants in Boston in Olden 
 Time. In 1687, a French gentleman, 
 sojourning in Boston, wrote home as fol- 
 lows: "You can bring with you hired 
 Help in any vocation whatever; there is 
 an absolute need of them to till the Land. 
 You may also otvn Negroes and Negress- 
 es; there is not a House in Boston, how- 
 ever small may be its means, that has not 
 one or two. You employ Savages to work 
 your Fields in Consideration of One 
 Shilling and a Half (thirty-seven cents) a 
 Day and Board. Negroes cost (to otvn) 
 from twenty to forty Pistoles (the Pistole 
 was then valued about ten francs, making 
 the negroes worth from forty to eighty 
 dollars apiece) according as they are skil- 
 ful and robust. There is no Danger that 
 they will leave you, nor hired Help like- 
 wise, for the Moment one is missing from 
 the Towne you have only to notify the 
 Savages (Indians) who, provided you 
 promise them something, and describe 
 the Runaway, he is right soon found. 
 Labour is very dear. A man cannot be 
 got to work for less than twenty-four 
 Pence (fifty cents) a Day and found." 
 
 Shopkeeper Beaux in 1800. 
 
 The shopkeeper beau of nearly a hundred 
 years ago is thus described in the Cen- 
 tinel, of Boston, of April 23, 1800 : "He 
 will " spring at one leap over a counter 
 four feet high to pick up a lady-custom- 
 er's handkerchief; he makes the most 
 handsome bow, says the most civil things, 
 
 and talks surprisingly fast and sensibly 
 about the odor of a roll of pomatum, or 
 the vulgarity of wearing our own hairs." 
 
 Siege of Boston. Washington 
 began his siege of Boston March 4, 1776, 
 taking possession of the city March 17. 
 
 Slave-Owners in Old Rox- 
 
 berry. In 1739, Roxbury (Boston High- 
 lands) had numerous owners of negro 
 slaves. In that year, some of the principal 
 slave-owners — Thomas Baker, IMathaniel 
 Brewer, Ebenezer Dorr, John Holbrook, 
 Edward Ruggles, James Jarvis, Noah 
 Perin, Jr., John Williams, Ebenezer 
 Weld, Jonathan Seaver and Joseph 
 Williams— sent a petition to the Town to 
 have negro slaves " abroad in the night 
 at unseasonable hours " punished. The 
 Revolution brought around the abolition 
 of slavery in Boston. 
 
 Slavery. In 1781 it was declared 
 that slavery no longer existed in Boston 
 or Massachusetts. 
 
 Spinning Maidens. One sum- 
 mer afternoon, in 1749, members of a so- 
 ciety formed to encourage industry and 
 frugality, celebrated their fourth anni- 
 versary by making a public demonstra- 
 tion, about three hundred young female 
 spinsters, decently dressed, appeared on 
 the Common at their spinning wheels. 
 The wheels were placed regularly in 
 three rows, and a young woman} was 
 seated at each wheel. The weavers also 
 appeared, cleanly dressed, in garments 
 of their own weaving. One of them 
 worked at a loom on a stage carried on 
 men's shoulders, attended" with music. 
 There was a large number of spectators. 
 
 Spring Lane (running from 278 
 Washington Street to 101 Devonshire 
 Street) abounds in historical associations 
 of the deepest interest. "It recalls," 
 says Drake, " the ancient Spring-gate, 
 the natural fountain at which Winthrop 
 and Johnson stooped to quench their 
 thirst, and from which, no doubt, Madam 
 Winthrop and Anne Hutchinson filled 
 their flagons for domestic use. The gen- 
 tlemen may have paused here for friend- 
 ly chat if the rigor of the Governor's 
 opposition to the Schismatic Anne did not 
 forbid. The handmaid of Elder Thomas 
 Oliver (Winthrop's next neighbor, on the 
 opposite corner of the Spring-gate) 
 fetched her pitcher — like another Re- 
 becca — from this well ; and grim Richard 
 Brackett, the jailer, may have laid down 
 his halberd to quaff a morning draught." 
 
 Swearing. The penalty for swear- 
 ing in 1699 was a fine of one crown, or to 
 have a hole bored through the tongue 
 with a hot iron.

 TAL-UNI 
 
 Talleyrand visited Boston in July 
 and August, 1794. According to William 
 Sullivan he was of middle stature, with 
 light hair, sallow complexion and blue 
 eyes; his body large and protruberant in 
 front, his lower limbs small and his feet 
 deformed. 
 
 Tax- Assessors were first ap- 
 pointed, by the Court, Aug. 9, 1632. 
 
 Tea was first used in Boston in 1635. 
 
 Theatrical Riot. The Edmund 
 Kean riot, at the old Boston Theatre, oc- 
 curred Dec. 7, 1818. 
 
 The King's Missive. In 1657, a 
 Quaker, Samuel Shattock, was publicly 
 whipped for expostulating against the 
 gagging of another Quaker. Shattock 
 was banished, subsequently. He went to 
 London, secured a royal order from the 
 King to have all Quakers arrested in 
 Boston sent to England for punishment, 
 and returned here to inform Governor 
 Endicott of the order of the King. All 
 Quakers were released from jail. How- 
 ever, Quakers were after that whipped at 
 the cart's tail through the streets of 
 Boston. The Quaker poet, Whittier, has 
 in his poem, "The King's Missive," 
 graphically described the proceedings. 
 We select the following stanzas from 
 that poem: 
 
 " One brave voice rose above the din; 
 
 Upsall— gray with his length of days — 
 Cried, from the door of his Red Lion inn, 
 
 ' Men of Boston! Give God the praise! 
 No more shall innocent blood call down 
 The bolts of wrath on your guilty town; 
 The freedom of worship dear to you 
 Is dear to all, and to all is due. 
 
 '"I see the vision of days to come, 
 
 When your beautiful City of the Bay 
 Shall be Christian liberty's chosen home, 
 And none shall his neighbor's rights 
 gainsay ; 
 The varying notes of worship shall blend 
 And as one great prayer to God ascend; 
 And hands of mutual charity raise 
 Walls of salvation and gates of praise! ' 
 
 So passed the Quakers through Boston 
 
 town, 
 Whose painful ministers sighed to see 
 The walls of their sheep-fold falling down, 
 
 And wolves of heresy prowling free. 
 But the years went on, and brought no 
 
 wrong; 
 With milder counsels the State grew 
 
 strong, 
 As outward Letter and inward Light 
 Kept the balance of truth aright. 
 
 Tom and Jerry was the name of 
 a famous old drink m Boston and New 
 England, having been in vogue as early 
 as 1825. A member of a temperance so- 
 ciety in 1839 was disciplined for drinking, 
 
 and the excuse was that the intoxicated 
 man had not been drinking anything, but 
 had " eaten some Tom and Jerry with a 
 spoon." 
 
 Unique Old Advertisement. 
 
 In 1805 the following was published in a

 Vanity in Boston in -1740. 
 The celebrated Whitefield had occasion 
 to rebuke the vanity manifested by 
 Boston mothers in 1740. He wrote: 
 "Jewels, patches, and gay apparel are 
 commonly worn by the female sex. I 
 observe little boys and girls commonly 
 dressed up in the pride of life; and the 
 infants that were brought to baptism 
 were wrapped in such finery that one 
 would think that they were brought 
 thither to be initiated into, rather than 
 to renounce, the pomps and vanities of 
 this wicked world. Boston, however, is 
 remarkable for the external observation 
 of the Sabbath." 
 
 Voting was performed in old times 
 by the voice, also by the raising; of hands. 
 Grains of corn were afterwards used for 
 "yes" and beans for "no." Then came 
 written ballots. Printed ballots were 
 first used in 1830. 
 
 Washington's Fun at Cam- 
 bridge. According to Samuel Longf el 
 low in his " Life of Henry Wadsworth 
 Longfellow," Craigie House, Washing- 
 ton's Headquarters, in Cambridge, the 
 " Father of his Country " occasionally 
 unbent from his characteristic dignity. 
 The author says : "Among the traditions 
 of the house are two stories of 'Wash- 
 ington's laughter.' In the first an old 
 woman had one day been arrested in the 
 American lines as a spy and brought 
 before General Putnam. He thought the 
 matter important enough to be referred 
 to the commander-in-chief, and took the 
 woman to headquarters. Arrived at the 
 gate she refused to go in. Whereupon 
 Putnam seized her, and lifting her on his 
 back, bore her up the pathway to the 
 door. This, Washington, looking from 
 his window, beheld, and laughed heartily 
 at the spectacle of ' Old Put ' and his 
 burden. At another time, the second 
 story runs, several of the generals were 
 at the Vassall House when word was 
 brought that the British were making a 
 demonstration from Boston. The officers 
 rushed for their accoutrements, and 
 General Greene's voice was heard calling 
 to the barber, 'My wig! where is my 
 wig?' 'Behind the looking-glass, gen- 
 eral,' said Lee; and the mirror re- 
 vealed that Greene's wig was already on 
 his head. Again Washington joined in 
 the general laugh." 
 
 Washington's Library. A 
 
 large portion of the Library once belong- 
 ing to George Washington now forms a 
 small part of the Boston Athenaeum 
 Library, 10 B Beacon Street. 
 
 Washington, while visiting Bos- 
 ton, in 1789, wrote in his diary as follows, 
 regarding the cotton-duck manufactory : 
 " They have twenty-eight looms at work, 
 and fourteen girls spinning with both 
 hands (the flax being fastened to the 
 waist). Each spinner can turn out fom*- 
 teen pounds of thread per day, when they 
 stick to it. They are the (laughters of 
 decayed families; none others are ad- 
 mitted." 
 
 Water. The great celebration of 
 the introduction of Cochituate water 
 into Boston occurred Oct. 25, 1848. 
 
 What a Stray Pig in the 
 Streets of Boston Brought 
 
 About. Says Winthrop: "There fell 
 out a great business upon a very small 
 occasion. In 1636 there was a strange 
 sow in Boston." Several claimants for 
 the sow,caused considerable controversy, 
 and led to the celebrated dispute be- 
 tween the magistrates and the deputies 
 concerning "The Negative Voice" and 
 finally resulted in dividing the Legisla- 
 ture of Massachusetts into two co-ordi- 
 nate branches — Magistrates and Deputies 
 — or, Senators and Representatives. 
 
 What John Josselyn 
 
 Thought in 1675. According to 
 John Josselyn, gent., who came to Bos- 
 ton from London, in 1675,— publishing on 
 his return to England at the Green 
 Dragon, St. Paul's Churchyard, an ac- 
 count of his impressions: — "Many of 
 the houses in Boston stand upon piles, 
 close together, on each side of the street, 
 as in London, and furnished with many 
 fair shops. Their streets are ma_y and 
 large, paved with pebble-stone, and the 
 South side adorned with gardens and or- 
 chards. The Towne is rich and very popu- 
 lous, much frequented by strangers ; on 
 the South there is a small but pleasant 
 Common, where the gallants, a little be- 
 fore Sunset, walk with their marmalet- 
 madams, as we do in Moorfields, till the 
 nine a clock Bell rings them Home to 
 their respective habitations, when pres- 
 ently the Constables walk their rounds to 
 see good orders kept, and to take up law- 
 less people." 
 
 Winthrop and the Indians. 
 
 The settlers of Boston, owing to the fact 
 that the peninsula was so easily guarded, 
 had but little to fear from the Indians, 
 who were generally friendly, and desired 
 to " trade " with the English. In March, 
 1631, the powerful Chicatabot came with 
 his sannops and squaws, from Neponset, 
 and presented Governor Winthrop with 
 a hogshead of corn. The Governor gave 
 the party a dinner. In April, the Indian 
 chief returned and wanted to trade with 
 the Governor for an English suit of 
 clothes. But Winthrop reminded him 
 
28 
 
 WOM— TAB 
 
 that it was undignified for sagamores to 
 swap, and gave orders to his own tailor, 
 and had the great Indian Chief put into 
 a brand new suit of clothes of the latest 
 London fashion from head to foot. Chi- 
 catabot was therefore the first Indian 
 " dude " on record. 
 
 Women's Rights in- ITT7. 
 
 Mrs. John Adams wrote, July 31, 1777, of 
 affairs in Boston: "There is a great 
 scarcity of sugar and coffee — articles 
 which the females are very loath to give 
 up, especially whilst they consider the 
 scarcity occasioned by the merchants 
 having secreted a large quantity. . . . 
 It was rumored that an eminent, wealthy, 
 
 stingy merchant (who is a bachelor) had 
 a hogshead of coffee in his store, which 
 he refused to sell the committee under 
 six shillings per pound. A number of 
 females — some say a hundred— assembled 
 with a cart and trunks, marched down 
 to the warehouse and demanded the 
 keys, which he refused to deliver. Upon 
 which one of them seized him by the 
 neck and tossed him into the cart. Upon 
 his finding no quarter he delivered the 
 keys, when they tipped up the cart and 
 discharged him; then opened the ware- 
 house, hoisted out the coffee themselves, 
 {>ut it into the trunks, and drove off. A 
 arge concourse of men stood amazed, 
 silent spectators of the whole trans- 
 action!"

 A Tablet placed on the fence around the 
 spot where the Old Elm formerly stood, 
 on the Common, is inscribed as follows: 
 
 The Old Elm. 
 This Tree has been standing 
 Here for an unknown Period, 
 it is believed to have existed 
 before the Settlement ofBoston; 
 being fully grown in 1722; 
 exhibited marks of old age 
 in 1792; and was nearly de- 
 stroyed by a storm in 1832. 
 Protected by an iron enclo-

 Upon the front wall of Christ Church, 
 Salem Street, a tablet was placed, Oct. 
 17th, 1878, having an inscription as fol- 
 lows: 
 
 The Signal Lanterns 
 
 of Paul Revere

 to Lexington and Concord. 
 
 At the corner of "Washington and Essex 
 Streets is a building known as Liberty 
 Tree Block. On this spot stood, in 1765, 
 a very large and wide-spreading Elm 
 tree, beneath the branches of which the 
 Sons of Liberty were organized. The 
 elm thus came to be known as the Liberty 
 Tree. (During the Siege of Boston the 
 British soldiers cut down the tree). On 
 the front of the Liberty Tree Block is a' 
 large Tablet bearing a design of the 
 memorable Liberty Tree. 
 
 On the corner of Tremont and Court 
 Streets there stood until 1883 — when it 
 was demolished to make room for the 
 present great building on that site — an 
 old structure formerly known as the 
 mansion-house where Washington lived 
 while in Boston in 1789. A Tablet on the 
 old building bore this inscription: 
 
 Occupied by Washington, 
 October, 1789. 
 
 No Tablet has yet been placed on the 
 new building.

 In 1791 there was erected on Centry 
 (Beacon) Hill a monument to replace the 
 wooden beacon (a cut of which may he 
 seen on the right-hand side of the cover 
 of this work) which was blown down, 
 Nov. 26, 1783. In the panels of the monu- 
 ment were inscriptions designed to com- 
 memorate leading events of the Ameri- 
 can Revolution. These panels are now 
 to be seen on the walls of the corridor 
 opening on the right from Doric Hall, 
 State House, Beacon St., having been 
 placed there Feb. 21, 1861. The inscrip- 
 tions on the south and east side paneis 
 are as follows :

 The monument from which these panels 
 were taken was removed Oct. 9, 1804. 
 The gilt eagle surmounting the monu- 
 ment is placed above the speaker's chair 
 in the House of Representatives, State 
 House. 
 
 The third panel commemorates the

 same, 1766; establishment of Board of 
 Customs, 1767; British Troops fired on 
 the inhabitants of Boston, March 5, 1770;

 les of the Memorial Stones of the Wash- 
 ington Family in the parish church of 
 Brington, near Althorp, Northampton-

 Spencers. These Stones were presented 
 by the Right Honorable Earl Spencer to 
 Honorable Charles Sumner, and by him 
 given to the State of Massachusetts, 
 Feb. 22,1851. These Memorial Stones are 
 of Lawrence Washington (father of John 
 Washington, who was great-grandfather 
 of George Washington) and of Robert 
 (uncle to John Washington).

 Charlotte Cushman's Befout. 
 
 The greatest actress America has ever 
 produced, Charlotte Cushman, made her 
 first appearance, on any stage, in Boston 
 nearly sixty years ago, the actual date 
 having been Thursday, March 25, 1830. 
 Our readers may desire to preserve a 
 copy of the program distributed on that 
 memorable occasion, and it is therefore 
 presented here. Her name did not ap- 
 pear on the bill. She was modestly an- 
 nounced as "a young lady," as will be 
 seen by reference to numbers 2, 6 and 14 
 on the program. She was then in her 
 fourteenth year:

 Miss Cushman originally had no idea 
 of going upon the dramatic stage. She 
 had a beautiful, rich contralto voice, and 
 was ambitious for a lyric career. Her 
 voice partially failing her, however, she 
 adopted the dramatic profession, with 
 results known to the whole artistic world. 
 Only one of those appearing at this con- 
 cert is now living, " Mr. Pray " being our 
 well-known fellow citizen, ex-Alderman 
 John F. Pray, formerly a boot and shoe 
 dealer on Washington Street.

 Opening of the New National 
 Theatre. This theatre was located 
 upon the corner of Portland, and Traverse 
 Streets, and replaced what was known as 
 the old National Theatre, which was 
 opened Aug. 15, 1836, and destroyed by fire 
 April 22, 1852. (Previous to the old Na- 
 tional there stood on the same site the 
 Warren Theatre — named in honor of Gen- 
 eral Joseph Warren — opened July 3, 1832, 
 by William Pelby). The new National 
 Theatre was opened on Monday evening, 
 November 1, 1852, by Joseph Leonard. 
 The program comprised George Colman 
 the Younger's 
 
 The Heir at Law. 
 
 Dr. Pangloss Douglas Stewart 
 
 (His first appearance in America). 
 
 Daniel Dowlas Wm. H. Curtis 
 
 Dick Mr. Prior 
 
 Kenrick S. D. Johnson 
 
 Lady Duberly Mrs. Archbold 
 
 Cicely Mrs. W. H. Smith 
 
 (Othe'r characters by the company) and 
 the Farce of 
 
 John Dobbs, 
 the latter being played by Cornelia Jef- 
 ferson, Bertha Lewis, Douglas Stewart, 
 W. H. Curtis, S. D. Johnson and V. 
 Hays. Previous to the performance of 
 the comedy, W. M. Leman read an orig- 
 inal address written by W. O. Eaton. 
 (The "Douglas Stewart" of the bill was 
 the nom de theatre of Edward A. Sothern, 
 who, on this occasion made his first ap- 
 pearance in America, and who later 
 became famous as the impersonator of 
 Lord Dundreary. His performance of 
 Dr. Pangloss was a disappointment). 
 John Holloway was musical director; S. 
 Lake, ballet-master. Prices were as fol- 
 lows: Dress circle and parquette, 50 
 cents; second or family circle, 25 cents; 
 third circle or gallery, 25 cents; private 
 boxes, single ticket $1. Doors were 
 opened at 6.30, the curtain rising at 7 
 o'clock. Canton Street, Dover Street, 
 Cambridge, Roxbury, Charlestown and 
 South Boston omnibusses were run at 
 the close of the performance, and a train 
 for old Cambridge left at 11.15 every 
 evening except Saturday. 
 
 Opening of the Present Bos- 
 ton Theatre. On Mondav evening, 
 September 11, 1854, the magnificent Bos- 
 ton Theatre was first opened to the 
 public, under the management of Thomas 
 Barry. It is in most respects to-day what 
 it was then, the finest theatre on this 
 continent. There may be some few others 
 that nearly approach it in size of audi- 
 torium, but as respects grandeur, breadth 
 and depth of stage, height of proscen- 
 ium, acoustic effects, and general re- 
 sources, as well as roomy corridors and 
 anterooms, no other dramatic establish- 
 ment in the country rivals it. This is the 
 testimony of all the great foreign stars 
 
 who make tours in America. On the 
 occasion of its opening the following bill 
 was presented, after National airs and 
 Rossini's overture to William Tell had 
 been performed by Thomas Comer's or- 
 chestra, and a prize address had been 
 delivered by John Gilbert (written by T. 
 W. Parsons):

 Calvert), Miss Clara Biddies (Mrs. Thomas 
 Barry), Mrs. Hudson Kirbv, James Ben- 
 nett, J. B. Howe, T. E. Morris, N. C. 
 Forrester and John H. Selwyn. The 
 architects were Jonathan Preston, E. C. 
 and J. E. Cabot. The theatre was built 
 by a stock company, including many 
 prominent citizens. Mr. Barry continued 
 as manager for five years. In 1860-1 Ber- 
 nard Ullman became manager, and gave 
 the theatre the name of the Academy 
 of Music. (See Boston Theatre in Histo- 
 ries of the Theatres). 
 
 First Night of the Conti- 
 nental Theatre. Messrs. Morris 
 Brothers, Pell & Trowbridge, managers 
 of the Minstrel Hall on Washington 
 Street, opposite the head of Milk Street 
 (in the old Province House), where they 
 had been successful for about ten years 
 in providing entertainments, became 
 ambitious to become managers of the 
 legitimate drama, and built on Washing- 
 ton Street, corner of Harvard Street, the 
 Continental Theatre. (The site was pre- 
 viously occupied by the Apollo Garden, 
 and the Continental Clothing House now 
 stands on the spot.) The theatre opened 
 Monday evening, Jan. 1, 1866, with the 
 following bill:

 cal director. Martin Drake was ticket- 
 agent). It was Mr. Forrest's intention to 
 play Virginius, in Sheridan Knowles' 
 tragedy of that name, on Wednesday 
 evening; but on the morning of that day 
 a severe cold which he had taken devel- 
 oped into pneumonia, and his physician 
 forbade him to play. On Nov. 30, of the 
 same year, Mr. Forrest gave a reading at 
 Tremont Temple in this city, which was 
 his last public appearance in any capac- 
 ity. He died, in Philadelphia, Dec. 12, 
 1872. During his later years he suffered 
 greatly from the gout. 
 
 Charlotte Cushman's Fare- 
 well. The last appearance on any stage 
 of Charlotte Cushman — the greatest 
 actress America has ever produced — took 
 place at the Globe Theatre on the even-

 Pinafore's First American 
 
 Performance. Gilbert and Sulli- 
 van's operetta, " Pinafore," originally 
 produced at the Savoy Theatre, London, 
 was first brought out in America at the 
 Boston Museum, Monday evening, Nov. 
 25, 1878, where it had a run of 66 perform- 
 ances before it was played before any 
 other American public. The original 
 American distribution of characters was 
 as follows : 
 
 Pixafoee. 
 
 Sir Joseph Porter, K. C. B 
 
 George. W. Wilson 
 
 Captain Corcoran James H. Jones 
 
 Ralph Rackstraw Rose Temple 
 
 Dick Deadeye Benj . R. Graham

 Bob Beckett William Morris 
 
 Tom Tucker Little Gertrude 
 
 Tom Bowline W. Melbourne 
 
 Josephine Miss Marie Wainwright 
 
 Little Buttercup Miss Lizzie Harold 
 
 Hebe Miss Sadie Martinot 
 
 Musical director, John J. Braham, (now 
 of the Bijou Theatre). Miss Rose Temple 
 was Mrs. James H. Jones; Miss Marie 
 Wainwright is now Mrs. Louis James;' 
 Miss Lizzie Harold is now Mrs. William 
 J. Comley; " Little Gertrude " is Miss 
 Calef. Previous to Mr. R. M. Field's 
 decision to bring out this operetta, sev- 
 eral other managers had declined to take 
 the venture, considering the work " too 
 English " to ever become successful in 
 this country. How well their judgment 
 has been verified is illustrated by the 
 record of its performances in America. 
 Since Mr. Field took the initiative step in 
 introducing this class of operas to our 
 public, not only "Pinafore," but " Pa- 
 tience," " Iolanthe " and "The Mikado" 
 have had long and prosperous seasons 
 here, "Iolanthe" reaching a run of 150 
 performances at the Bijou Theatre, and | 
 "The Mikado" making a record of 161] 
 consecutive representations at the Hollis ! 
 Street Theatre. 
 
 Opening Bill of the Park

 opened to the public for the first time on

 present managers. Miss Lotta is the 
 owner of the Theatre. 
 
 The Fir^t Night Bill o£ the 
 Windsor Theatre. Under the 
 name of The Novelty Theatre, the pres- 
 ent Windsor Theatre was opened to the 
 public on Monday evening, Dec. 15, 1879. 
 The following is a copy of the opening 
 bill: 
 
 HOME. 
 
 Alfred Dorrison Sir Randal Roberts 
 
 Capt. Montraffe J. W. Lanergan 
 
 Mr. Dorrison J. H. Howland 
 
 Bertie Thompson W. C. Cowper 
 
 Mrs. Pinchbeck Miss Emmie Wilmot 
 
 Dora Thornbough Miss Lillie Ashby 
 
 Lucy Dorrison Miss Amy Ames 
 
 Mr. Fl H. Butler was the manager. Mr. 
 John H. Woods was musical director; Mr. 
 M. M. Whelan, business agent; Mr. Wm. 
 Ackerman, treasurer; Mr. David Rich- 
 ards, scenic artist; Messrs. Curtis & 
 Weld, costumers. In his announcement 
 Manager Butler said: Boston is rapidly 
 extending its territorial limits, and the 
 march of business is constantly ' up 
 town;' in reality the Novelty Theatre 
 is the central theatre of Boston, and the 
 management intend to make it a con- 
 venience to the public as well as an agree- 
 able resort for their patrons in South 
 Boston and Boston Highlands, who, by 
 the various horse-car lines, can easily 
 reach the theatre door and at the con- 
 clusion of the performance take the 
 same cars direct for their homes." The 
 Windsor has been almost constantly 
 open regularly every season since that 
 time. Manager Butler did not long con- 
 tinue its manager. Mr. Charles H. Thayer 
 was at one time its manager, and his 
 control of the house was signalized by 
 an extremely creditable production of 
 " Billee Taylor." The scenery was es- 
 pecially realistic and beautiful. 
 
 William Warren's Fiftieth 
 Anniversary. The celebration of 
 the 50th anniversary of the adoption of 
 the profession of the stage by William 
 Warren — the greatest and most versatile 
 comedian America has ever produced —

 urday afternoon and evening, Oct. 28, 
 1882. "The Heir-at-Law" was given in 
 the afternoon and "The School for Scan- 
 dal" in the evening, cast to the full 
 strength of the company engaged for the 
 42d regular season of this theatre. We 
 give the cast — as a matter of record — of

 AMUSEMENT DATA. 
 
 The Stage! Where Fancy sits, creative 
 queen, 
 
 And waves her sceptre o'er life's mimic 
 scene; 
 
 Where young-eyed Wonder comes to 
 feast his sight 
 
 And quaff instruction while he drinks 
 • delight; 
 
 The Stage ! That threads each labyrinth 
 of the soul, 
 
 Wakes laughter's peal and bids the tear- 
 drop roll; 
 
 That shoots at folly— mocks proud Fash- 
 ion's slave, 
 
 Uncloaks the hypocrite and brands the 
 knave.

 AFTER LIFE'S FITFUL FEVER, 
 
 And what were life— life's work all done 
 The hopes, loves, joys that cling to 
 clay ? 
 All — all departed,one by one, 
 
 And yet life's load borne on for aye ! 
 Decay ! decay ! 'tis stamped on all. 
 All bloom — in flower and flesh — shall 
 fade, 
 Ye whisp'ring trees, when we shall fall 
 Be our long sleep beneath your shade ! 
 John Pierpo>t. 
 
 "Sometimes in thought, we sit apart, 
 And ask ourselves the How and Wlben 
 
 "Will come to us that only hour 
 That cometh surely to all men. 
 
 When all along the eastern hills 
 Comes silently the flush of dawn, 
 
 And earth lies bathed in cooling dews, 
 And birds are welcoming the niorn? 
 
 Or when the noon with her bold eye 
 To silence awes the feathered choir, 
 
 And in the fulness of her prime 
 The morning's tender charms expire ? 
 
 Or when the sunset paints the sky 
 In glowing clouds of pearl and gold, 
 
 And clay glides noiselessly from sight, 
 And eVening's balm the earth enfold ? 
 
 Or will the cry — " Behold, He comes' " 
 Sound through the stillness of the night, 
 
 When all the earth lies hushed in sleep, 
 And stars look down with chastened 
 light? 
 
 Perhaps the dear old earth enwrapped 
 In winter's fleecy garb may lie, 
 
 And winds may blow, and storms may 
 rage, 
 And snows obscure the sullen sky. 
 
 Will that day find us wandering ? 
 
 Or in the dear home of our birth, 
 Amid the old familiar scenes 
 
 Will our eyes see the last of earth ? 
 
 Will strange eyes meet our darkening 
 sight ? 
 Or faces loved with life-long love, 
 That smile through tears to strengthen 
 us, 
 And give us hope to meet above? 
 
 Vain questions all ' We may not know 
 That time or place, but calmly rest, 
 
 Assured by this one simple thought, 
 Our Father's time and way are best ' " 
 
 Strangers here often ask: "Where 
 was Longfellow buried ? " " Was Wendell 
 Phillips laid in Mount Auburn?" "And 
 where were Emerson, Hawthorne, Everett, 
 Sumner, and other eminent persons buri- 
 ed?" We have endeavored to answer 
 all these inquiries here, and to give as 
 complete and as accurate a list "of the 
 noted persons interred in the cemeteries 
 of Boston and vicinity as possible. Visi- 
 tors to this city from remote sections of 
 the United States and from Europe visit 
 the grave of Longfellow and place flow- 
 ers upon it as a tribute to the memory of 
 the most illustrious American poet, and 
 especially on .Memorial Day, May 30, are 
 the resting-places of the dead in the vari- 
 ous cemeteries covered with beautiful 
 floral designs.

 COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS. 
 
 Abandoning the methods ordina- 
 rily employed by writers on educational 
 institutions, we have endeavored to state 
 the exact truth concerning the schools 
 herein named— and we believe we have 
 included every one in Boston— not for th 
 purpose of advertising any, but for the 
 express benefit of the readers of this 
 work. During an experience of many 
 years in an editorial capacity, we have 
 received thousands of letters from young 
 men and women in various sections 
 of the United States, Canada, Cuba, 
 Mexico and other countries, making en- 
 quiries as to the various branches of 
 study pursued, the character of the 
 school, the educational standard main- 
 tained, the rates of tuition, and other ques- 
 tions, to which we have replied to the best 
 of our knowledge. Finding the task of re- 
 plying separately and in detail becoming 
 somewhat burdensome, and increasing 
 as the years go on, trespassing largely 
 upon our time, we have decided to put 
 our replies in print, and have therefore 
 arranged the matter to form the princi- 
 pal feature of this work. We have been 
 accumulating it for several months, and, 
 like all other works of this kind when 
 once undertaken it has grown upon oui 
 hands to a surprising extent. We have 
 not had space to go into an extended his- 
 tory of any school, owing to the great 
 number of them, but have concisely 
 placed together such facts as will enable 
 intending pupils to form an accurate 
 idea of the expense of pursuing any 
 course of study in the leading scholastic 
 city in America. It is but just to ssy 
 here that in no instance has any mention 
 of any school herein been made for 
 money, or under any other influence, the 
 matter having been prepared entirely 
 without the knowledge of the directors 
 of the schools named. 
 
 Abatable disagreeable or inconve- 
 nient surroundings are so frequently to 
 be found environing students, in many 
 cities and towns, that it is not surprising 
 that greater progress is not made by yv- 
 pils. Not only were the locations of the 
 most of the colleges and schools of Ecs- 
 ton and vicinity "selected with aviewcf 
 obtaining as quiet and pleasant naturfl 
 surroundings as it is possible to find in 
 the great and bustling metropolis of New 
 England, but the directors of such re-

 tive musical performances, at low prices; 
 lectures, free, and at moderate rates of 
 admission; free reading-rooms in great 
 numbers and variety; gymnasiums, etc., 
 etc. In fact, this city offers such unriv- 
 alled and remarkable free auxiliaries to 
 the student pursuing almost any branch 
 of education, it is not surprising that 
 thousands of young persons, from all 
 sections of the country, are thronging to 
 obtain an academic, musical, or art edu- 
 cation in Boston, the literary, musical 
 and art centre of the United States, the 
 second commercial city of the country; 
 and having within a radius of less than 
 twenty-five miles a population of more 
 than a million of people. 
 
 Abbott Academy. (1829), An- 
 dover. Established for the education of 
 girls. Languages — French and German; 
 music, painting, elocution, zoology, 
 
 feology, botany, etc., are among the 
 ranches taught. Terms, per year, for 
 board and instruction, — excepting music, 
 drawing and painting — $300. Andover 
 is twenty miles from Boston. 
 
 Abercrombie Boston Ora- 
 torio School. (1885). 181 Tremont 
 St. Boston is the home of Oratorio in 
 the United States, its Handel and Haydn 
 Society having long occupied the fore- 
 most position among the Choral Societies 
 of America. It ranks well with similar 
 organizations in England. Recognizing 
 Boston's pre-eminence in this department 
 of musical art, Charles Abercrombie, 
 who has for some years occupied the 
 position of tenor at Her Majesty's Chapel 
 Royal, St. James Palace, London, and a 
 pupil of the most eminent masters of 
 London, came here at the opening of the 
 musical season of 1885-6 and established 
 an Oratorio School, the only institution 
 of the kind anywhere, which is attract- 
 ing pupils from every section of the 
 United States and Canada. His success 
 has been so phenomenal that he has de- 
 cided to remain permanently in Boston. 
 His method combines the best features 
 of the systems of his famous teachers. 
 
 Academy for Teaching Band 
 
 MueiC. (1871). 281 Columbus av. Un- 
 der the direction of J. B. Claus, the dis- 
 tinguished Band Master. Terms : 20 one- 
 hour lessons, in classes of four pupils, 
 $15. 
 
 Adams Academy. Quincy. For 
 
 Preparing boys for Harvard Lniversity. 
 hition/ree to those residing in Quincy. 
 
 Adams Operatic School. (1885). 
 150 Tremont st. Upon his retirement 
 from active professional duties upon the 
 
 operatic stage, Charles R. Adams, the 
 greatest dramatic tenor America has yet 
 produced, decided to establish himself in 
 Boston as a teacher of singing. He soon 
 became known as one of the foremost 
 vocal teachers of the world, and pupils 
 from all parts of the United States came 
 to obtain instruction from him. Many 
 who had contemplated going to Europe 
 for a cotirse of study changed their plans 
 and came to Boston instead, thereby sav- 
 ing money, to say nothing of the time, 
 the discomforts of ocean voyages, foreign 
 travel, etc. Finding a great'desire among 
 his pupils for operatic instruction, he es- 
 tablished in the autumn of 1885 an oper- 
 atic school. He had constructed a stage, 
 with scenery, properties, and all the ap- 
 pointments of a regular theatre, on a small 
 scale to be sure, but amply sufficient to 
 enable his pupils to appear in scenes from 
 operas, in costume, and before audiences 
 invited to witness their performances, 
 some of which would do credit to artists 
 of recognized ability. Boston now has 
 an Operatic School 'in which any city 
 might well take pride. 
 
 Agricultural Schools. (See 
 JBtisscy Institute, Farm School and Bos- 
 ton University College of Agriculture). 
 
 Allen's Stenographic Insti- 
 tute. 15 State st. Among the noted 
 institutions for imparting practical, use- 
 ful knowledge in Boston, Allen's Steno- 
 graphic Institute must be mentioned 
 among the foremost. Its reputation is 
 not merely local; it extends to the most 
 distant sections of the United States and 
 the Canadas, from all of which come 
 pupils to prepare themselves for active 
 and profitable duties in life. A knowl- 
 edge of stenography is one of the most 
 valuable acquisitions that can possibly 
 be learned by one in any position in life; 
 it is equally important to the student, 
 the professional gentleman and the busi- 
 ness man. Allen's Stenographic Institute 
 is the oldest, largest, and most noted 
 Shorthand School in New England. By 
 the method taught here the student 
 learns each principle, both mentally and 
 mechanically, applies it in general litera- 
 ture, and is enabled to read it before 
 taking the next step, and therefore 
 where there is an inclination, and time 
 for practice, with even the most ordinary 
 ability, there is no possibility of a failure 
 to make the art practicable; that is, to 
 report an average speaker verbatim; 
 because, with the first lesson, the student 
 will be enabled to write with from one- 
 seventh to one-twentieth as many strokes 
 as would be required in longhand writing, 
 and, consequently, when as well learned, 
 the shorthand should be written nearly 
 seven times as fast. "Whenever a person 
 can write more rapidly than by longhand, 
 and read it, it will be in that proportion 
 more valuable than longhand, in taking

 notes of lectures in school or elsewhere ; 
 in -writing letters from dictation, or in 
 other cases -where time in writing is to 
 be saved. The value of a complete system 
 is incalculable. Terms of Tuition: For 
 each single lesson, $3; for instruction 
 for one school month, $20; for the usual 
 course of three months (sixty lessons), 
 $45: six months' instruction, for those 
 desiring to become expert, $75; instruc- 
 tion on type-writers, per month, $5; 
 instruction by mail, $15 for twenty les- 
 sons. G. G Allen is the Principal of the 
 school. 
 
 American Academy of Arts 
 
 and. Sciences. (1780). 10 B Beacon 
 st. Formed for the object of promoting 
 the knowledge of the Natural History of 
 America and its antiquities, as well as 
 the encouragement of agricultural, art, 
 astronomical, commercial, geographical, 
 manufacturing, mathematical, medical, 
 meteorological, philosophical and other 
 studies, discoveries and observations, by 
 means of lectures, libraries, etc.

 Berkeley School. l74Boylston st., 
 cor. Berkeley st. James B. Taylor (liter- 
 ature, history, and elocution"), Edwin De 
 Meritte (Latin and Greek), Walter C. 
 Hagar (mathematics), and ten other in- 
 structors in various branches. For boys 
 and girls. This school is rapidly at- 
 taining an enviable reputation for its 
 thoroughness, the ability of its Faculty, 
 and the practical character of its in- 
 struction. Its chief departments are the 
 literary, classical, mathematical, scien- 
 tific; and that of modern languages. For 
 graduation, however, a pupil is not re- 
 quired to complete the studies of more 
 than three departments or their equiva- 
 lents. The literary department is exceed- 
 ingly thorough. Special students in lit- 
 erature are taken. Declamations and 
 compositions are required of every regu- 
 lar pupil every four weeks, thus allow- 
 ing time for careful preparation and 
 correction in each of these two impor- 
 tant exercises. Short drills are given in 
 vocal gymnastics, and opportunities af- 
 forded for rehearsing declamations. The 
 classical department is famed for its ele- 
 vated standard. The mathematical de- 
 partment aims at imparting not only 
 accuracy and quickness of calculation, 
 but also originality of thought and logi- 
 cal reasoning. The departments of nat- 
 ural sciences, modern languages, physical 
 culture, etc., are also superintended by 
 some of the ablest teachers in the coun- 
 try. Terms, from $140 to $180; with 
 French or. German, $20 extra. School 
 opens its departments in September.

 Bickford School of Elocu- 
 tion, 18 Boylston st. Charles Bickford, 
 Director. This most centrally and pleas- 
 antly located school is in the building of 
 the Boston Young Men's Christian-Union. 
 Mr. Bickford has for years been recog- 
 nized as one of America's leading elo- 
 cutionists, and he is equally successful in 
 imparting the principles of his method 
 to his pupils. The value of a graceful, 
 easy, cultivated manner of delivery is one 
 that cannot be overestimated by any 
 young man, even if one has no idea of 
 following the profession of the pulpit, 
 the stage, the platform or the bar. The 
 subject of Expression is just now foremost 
 in the educational institutions of Boston, 
 and this agitation cannot fail to benefit 
 the Bickford School of Elocution, as its

 methods are based upon natural princi- 
 ples, supplemented by artistic finish. 
 There are to-day many of the graduates 
 of this celebrated school, filling positions 
 in various sections of the country, and 
 winning approval for their perfect system. 
 of elocution. Those intending to adopt 
 the profession of the Drama cannot do 
 better than to learn the principles of the 
 art of expression, gesture, etc., at this 
 school, for the groundwork will then be 
 so thoroughly accomplished that future 
 work will be easy and more satisfactory 
 than as if, as in some cases, there is more 
 to unlearn than to learn, after a faulty 
 beginning. Terms: Elocution class, $10; 
 dramatic, $10: Shakspeare class, $5; 
 ladies' afternoon class, $15; private in- 
 struction, 20 lessons, $50; single lesson, 
 $3 to $5.

 strength and elasticity to the muscles 
 used in speaking, to expand the chest, 
 and to get a correct position of body, so 
 that speaking may be without effort and 
 yet powerful. Second, a system of vocal 
 exercise, for daily practice, to train the 
 voice in tone, quality, movement, pitch, 
 inflection, force, stress, articulation and 
 right manner of breathing. Third, the 
 application of the vocal exercises to the 
 reading of short extracts, showing the 
 effect when thus applied. Fourth, read- 
 ing of selections from various authors, 
 with criticisms, showing the difference 
 between the seven styles : conversational, 
 narrative, descriptive, didactic, public 
 address, declamatory, and emotional or 
 dramatic. Walter K. Fobes, Principal; 
 Clara S. Barnes, Assistant. Terms: ten 
 hour lessons (private) from Mr. Fobes,

 Boston School of Expression. 
 (1884). Freeman pi., 15 Beacon st. There 
 is probably no school of elocution or 
 dramatic training so much discussed to- 
 day in every section of the United States 
 — as well as in the capitals of Europe — as 
 the Boston School of Expression. New 
 York and London papers have devoted 
 columns to it; teachers everywhere are 
 seeking for information regarding it, 
 and pupils are coming to it from every 
 quarter of the globe. Judging from 
 actual results, this school has obviously 
 struck upon most novel and sensible 
 methods of teaching elocution and 
 oratory. Its plan is extremely scientific 
 and elaborate, but there is no difficulty 
 in comprehending its natural principles.

 Bussey Institute School of 
 Agriculture and Horticulture. 
 
 (1870). Jamaica Plain District. A de- 
 partment of Harvard University. The 
 great estate contains 360 acres, 137 of 
 ■which are taken for the uses of the- arbo- 
 retum. (See Arnold Arboretum.) The 
 grounds are naturally exceedingly 
 beautiful, comprising upland, woodland, 
 hills and meadows, among -which are 
 rippling brooks, the scene being one of 
 the most charming to be found anywhere, 
 especially within the precincts of" a great 
 "commercial city. It has all the attrac- 
 tions cf a rural landscape, combined with 
 such artistic features as have been taste- 
 fully added. Very few of the inhabitants 
 of the crowded city know what a sylvan 
 spot can be reache'd in a ride of a few 
 minutes' duration; but when the charms 
 of this region are fully realized, as they 
 will be when the park of 164 acres (120 
 acres of the arboretum and 44 acres ad- 
 joining) js made free to the public. The 
 Bussey School was established here 
 through the princely liberality of the late 
 Benjamin Bussey, who bequeathed the 
 valuable estate for the purpose of found- 
 ing a school of agriculture, together 
 with funds to be applied toward the 
 same purpose. The school was opened 
 in 1870, suitable buildings having been 
 erected and roadways laid out. The 
 school now has several eminent instruc- 
 tors, practical education being given to 
 numerous students. Recitations, lec- 
 tures, experiments, etc., conducted here 
 are reported, widely, and the Institute 
 is assuming a foremost position among 
 the great educational institutions of the 
 land. The scientific study of agriculture 
 and horticulture is one that may well in- 
 terest the youth of this countrv, and the 
 Bussey Institute, by its facilities for ex- 
 perimental investigation, its means, and 
 the thorough methods of its Faculty, 
 must continue to attract students from 
 
 every section of the continent. Those 
 who do not intend taking degrees are 
 permitted to join the school at any time 
 without examination, and take up any 
 branch they please. Candidates for the 
 degree of Bachelor of Agricultural (or 
 Horticultural) science, if not fitted, are 
 required to pass one year at the Lawrence 
 Scientific School (Cambridge;. Fees, aca- 
 demic year, $150; half year, $75; any sin- 
 gle course, $40 a year.

 guages, book-keeping, elocution, decla- 
 mation, penmanship, singing, drawing, 
 chemistry, physics, botany, mineralogy, 
 zoology, 'and military drill. For boys 
 and girls. For more than half a century 
 this School has been celebrated through- 
 out America for its high standard, its 
 thorough and effective methods, and, 
 also, for its watchful care over the bodily 
 health of its pupils. This School makes 
 a specialty of taking healthy, bright 
 children, particularly boys, who wish to 
 make more rapid progress than the ar- 
 rangements of public schools allow; 
 backward boys or girls, who are assisted 
 by extra teachers; delicate children, who 
 cannot study out of school; those who 
 have unusual talent for music, painting, 
 or modern languages, and other children 
 who are so susceptible to changes of heat 
 or cold, and need to study in an even, 
 well-ventilated temperature. Chauncy 
 Hall School is delightfully located, front- 
 ing Copley sq. ; fresh air a"nd sunshine 
 contribute* greatly to the other great ad- 
 vantages of its situation. These collat- 
 eral benefits should be regarded by every 
 parent and guardian who desires to see 
 the young pupil possess " a sound mind 
 in a healthy body." It is certainly a 
 model private school in every particular.

 named by the University. Special Stu- 
 dents, either classical language, $30 half- 
 year. (See Berkeley School). 
 
 College Lafayette. 181 Tremont 
 st. This school has become one of the 
 great educational institutions of Boston 
 and New England, chiefly from the ease 
 and facility with which its pupils acquire 
 the modern languages. The system in 
 use here is a practical one, and appeals to 
 the common-sense of the student, and the 
 best test of its efficiency is in the suc- 
 
 cessful results obtained. The Faculty 
 comprise native and graduate teachers. 
 The languages taught are French, Ger- 
 man, Italian and Spanish. The grammar 
 of each language, its literature and con- 
 versation carried on in it, in conjunc- 
 tion with translations from and into any 
 language, are especial features of the 
 excellent system of MM. Alba-Raymond 
 and Genoud, whose reputation is a suffi- 
 cient guaranty of thoroughness in every 
 department of the College. The school is 
 in an excellent location, overlooking the 
 Common, and is easily accessible from 
 all sections of the city and suburbs, as 
 well as from all the railway stations, by 
 means of a large number of horse railway 
 lines which pass the door. It is also 
 within a few steps of the great central 
 Public Library, among the volumes of 
 which are many standard works in the 
 languages taught at the College Lafay- 
 ette. Lessons are given privately and in 
 classes. There are day and evening ses- 
 sions. Pupils can arrange to have instruc- 
 tion given at their residences, an accoaa- 
 modation which finds ready appreciation. 
 One can begin studies at any time. Terms 
 of tuition, 65 lessons, $18. Lectures in 
 French are given every Saturday, at 10.45 
 A. M..,free to all pupils. 
 
 College of Agriculture, Eos- 
 ton University. (1867). Amherst. 
 The Boston University College of Agri- 
 culture is one of the leading schools of 
 the kind in the world. It is located in 
 the beautiful Connecticut valley, on a 
 farm of 400 acres. The buildings are on 
 a most extensive scale. Agriculture is 
 taught practically as well as theoreti- 
 cally. Each candidate for admission to 
 this college must pass a satisfactory ex- 
 amination in English grammar, arithme- 
 tic, geography, algebra, and the history 
 of the United States. The course of study- 
 is for a period of four years. Among the 
 branches pursued are botany, horticul- 
 ture, agriculture, chemistry, geology, ve- 
 terinary science, zoology, mathematics, 
 physics, civil engineering, military 
 science, with drill exercises, languages 
 (English, French and German), science 
 (mental, moral and social). The degree 
 of Bachelor of Science is awarded to 
 graduates. Instruction includes lectures, 
 practical exercises, experiments, etc. 
 The annual expenses for tuition, includ- 
 ing text-books, average from $250 to $350. 
 
 College of Letters. Tufts Col- 
 lege, College Hill, Medford. Elmer H. 
 Capen, D.L\, President. (See Tufts Col-

 College of Liberal Arts. 
 
 (1873). 12 Somerset st. (For males and 
 females). The aim of this noted college 
 Is to furnish that liberal education which 
 .is the true preparation for the study of a 
 learned profession, or for a life devoted to 
 
54 
 
 COL 
 
 letters, education, or public affairs. It 
 accordingly provides thorough and sys- 
 tematic instruction in all those branches 
 of literature, philosophy and science, 
 known as the Liberal Arts. The degrees 
 of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of 
 Philosophy are conferred at this college. 
 Expenses: the only annual fees required 
 from regular students in the College of 
 Liberal Arts are: tuition, §100; inciden- 
 tals, $10. 
 
 College of Music, Boston 
 University, (1872). 27 East Newton 
 St., Franklin sq. This college of music 
 forms one of the great group of colleges 
 comprising the Boston University (12 
 Somerset St.). It is the only institution 
 of its grade and kind in America. This 
 college of music is designed for students 
 of the average proficiency of graduates 
 of the best American conservatories of 
 music. The advantages accruing to it 
 from its location in Boston, and from its 
 close association with Boston University, 
 are very great. Here persons devoting 
 themselves to this profession are enabled 
 to complete a liberal education before 
 beginning their special musical training. 
 The best years for acquiring scholastic 
 culture are also the best years for culti- 
 vating the voice, the ear and the hand. A 
 generous intellectual and aesthetic cul- 
 ture is needed by every professional 
 musician, and it is best acquired in con- 
 nection with his special studies. The ap- 
 plicant for taking the piano-forte course 
 at this college will be tested as to famil- 
 iarity with Cramer's studies (Bulow), 
 books 1 and 2; or dementi's Gradus ad 
 Parnassum (Tausig edition) ; Bach's 
 Three-part Inventions ; Moscheles, op. 
 70; Mayer, op. 119, book 1; Bach's French 
 and English Suites ; Kullak's Octaves, 
 op. 49; Beethoven's Sonatas, etc. Candi- 
 dates for the organ course will be exam- 
 ined in Rink's Organ School ; Lemmens, 
 Bach, Mendelssohn, and others. Tuition 
 in voice, piano-forte or organ courses, 
 including composition and lectures, $200 
 per year. The opportunities for culture 
 outside of the college in Boston are too 
 numerous to recapitulate. The Boston 
 Public Library and the library of the 
 college furnish a collection of ten thou- 
 sand volumes relating to music, access to 
 which is free. 
 
 College of Pharmacy. (Massa- 
 chusetts). (1823). 1151 Washington st. 
 The first apothecary shop in Boston of 
 which history gives any account was that 
 of William Davis, which was opened in 
 1646 on Washington St., a few steps north 
 of the head of State st. The town pump 
 was set up near his shop, in 1650. Mr. 
 Davis had a residence on State St., near 
 Kilby st. He was captain of the Ancient 
 and Honorable Artillery Company — the 
 oldest military organization in the coun- 
 try, having been formed in 1638, and is 
 
 still an active company— from 1664 to 
 1672. The earliest movement for the im- 
 provement of pharmacy by legal means 
 was made by the Massachusetts Medical 
 Society, Nov. 8, 1786, when the Legisla- 
 ture was petitioned to prevent the sale of 
 poor and adulterated drugs. The Mas- 
 sachusetts College of Pharmacy was for- 
 mally instituted in January, 1823. Early 
 in this century apothecaries feeling a 
 need of increased scientific knowledge 
 were accustomed to resort to the Har- 
 vard Medical College. Courses of lectures 
 were delivered before the members of 
 the College of Pharmacy about 1858. In 
 1867 efforts were made to form a class of 
 drug-store clerks of Boston. Twenty 
 young men joined the class. The results 
 were so successful that the College 
 resolved to establish a permanent 
 practical School of Pharmacy. The in- 
 stitution has steadily grown, and the 
 students now represent a number of 
 cities and towns outside of Boston, who 
 are attracted by the high standard of 
 scientific knowledge imparted. The Col- 
 lege has one of the largest pharmaceuti- 
 cal libraries in the United States, in 
 addition to complete files of foreign 
 journals devoted to this subject. The 
 regular course of instruction occupies 
 six months, from October to March of 
 every year. (Elective courses in micro- 
 scopical and systematic Botany are offered 
 to classes of twelve or more.) Fees: 
 Preliminary examination for matricula- 
 tion, $4 ($2 to students employed by 
 members); examination for graduation, 
 $10; each of the Professors' courses, $15; 
 all special courses, $15. The College oc- 
 cupies a building on Washington St., just 
 above Dover st. Horse-cars from all 
 parts of the city and railway stations 
 pass frequently. 
 
 College of Physicians and 
 Surgeons. 34 Essex st. (See Medical 
 College for Women and Men). 
 
 Collins' Private School for 
 
 Boys. 23 Temple pi. Director, Leroy 
 Z. Collins. No school for boys and young 
 men in the United States enjoys a higher 
 reputation than this, and in no institution 
 of a similar class is there a higher stan- 
 dard of education nor a more thorough 
 system employed. Instruction in element- 
 ary English studies is here imparted in 
 the most through manner; French and 
 German is taught by the most accom- 
 plished native teachers ; while the depart- 
 ments devoted to preparing students for 
 Harvard (and .other universities), the 
 Massachusetts Institute of Technology 
 (and other scientific schools), as well as 
 for business life, are carefully and system- 
 atically organized, and carried o\it with 
 a view to the pupil's successfully passing 
 any examination. Terms : $200 a year. 
 
 Columbia Bicycle School. The 
 
 Columbia Bicycle and Tricycle Riding 
 
COL-CON

 School is located at 597 Washington st. 
 Open from 7.30 A. M. to 6 p. m. daily, ex- 
 cept Sundays. Terms: one lesson, with 
 attendant, half hour, 50 cents; without 
 attendant, 25 cents; one lesson, without 
 attendant, one hour, 50 cents; Season 
 tickets, good for one lesson a day, for 
 thirty days, $5. Students of all branches 
 will hnd that a morning or evening run 
 on a bicycle or tricycle on the fine roads 
 in the beautiful suburbs of Boston, will 
 
 five renewed vigor to their intellectual 
 acuities. 
 
 Columbus School of Lan- 
 guages and Sciences. Knicker- 
 bocker Building. 178 and 179 Tremont St. 
 Director, C. Veneziani, Ph. D. (Heidel- 
 berg). This school has taken its place 
 among the leading educational institu- 
 tions m the land. Its objects are to im- 
 part instruction in ancient and modern 
 languages— their respective literatures, 
 romance, philology — and in the sciences; 
 and to prepare students for Harvard 
 University, Massachusetts Institute of 
 Technology, and all other Colleges and 
 Scientific'Schools. Languages are taught 
 by a practical, scientific and philological 
 method, with especial reference to the 
 individual capabilities and requirements 
 of each pupil. In the sciences, some de- 
 partments of the Columbus. School act- 
 ually include the whole curriculum of the 
 leading Universities. The departments 
 are arranged as follows: I. Modern Lan- 
 
 §uages — French, German, Italian and 
 panish. II. Ancient Languages — Latin 
 and Greek. III. Romance, Philology. 
 
 IV. Literature of all of these Languages. 
 
 V. Sciences, mathematics, chemistry, 
 natural philosophy and descriptive as- 
 tronomy. VI. Preparatory department, 
 for fitting students for Colleges and 
 Scientific Schools. Professor Veneziani's 
 experience as Doctor of Philosophy of 
 the great Boston University is a sufficient 
 guarantee as to his ability in preparing 
 students for college courses. 
 
 Comer Commercial College. 
 (1840). 66G Washington st. Principal, Chas. 
 E. Comer. Branches taught: Penman- 
 ship, arithmetic, book-keeping, banking,

 Concord School o£ Fhiloso- 
 
 phy. (1878). Concord. Throughout the 
 length and breadth of the land has the 
 Concord School of Philosophy made its 
 influence felt, and the beautifully located 
 and historic old town attracts quite a 
 number of the great thinkers and educa- 
 tors of the country every summer. It 
 is only 19 miles from Boston, is easily 
 reached by two great railway lines, the 
 Boston and Lowell, and Fitchburg, and 
 those who attend the sessions of the 
 school can keep their lodgings in the city 
 if they do not care to remain in Concord 
 over night. The idea of the establish- 
 ment of this school occurred to its prin- 
 cipal founder, the distinguished A. Bron- 
 son Alcott, as early as 1842, and, some 
 English friends co-operating with him, 
 he began the formation of a library of 
 philosophic works in that year. The open- 
 ing of the- school, however, was delayed 
 until the year 1879. It received warm 
 encouragement from Ralph Waldo Emer- 
 son, Benjamin Pierce (of Harvard Uni- 
 versity), Ednah D. Cheney, William T. 
 Harris, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, 
 Cyrus A. Bartol, Francis B. Sanborn, 
 David A. Wasson and Thomas Davidson, 
 all of whom delivered lectures before the 
 school during the first session (1879), the 
 attendance largely exceeding the expec- 
 tations of the Faculty. Julia Ward 
 Howe, George Parsons Lathrop, and other 
 well-known men and women have con- 
 tributed lectures. The sessions were 
 originally held in Mr. Alcott's study, 
 Orchard House, but during the second 
 year of the School the Hill-Side Chapel 
 was built, and all meetings are now held 
 there. The permanent and active mem- 
 bers of the Faculty are Messrs. Alcott, 
 Harris, Emery and Sanborn. Regarding 
 purposes of the School, we quote from 
 Mr. Sanborn's sketch of the institution, 
 as follows: "The variety of subjects con- 
 sidered during the six summers that the 
 school has existed shows that its scope is 
 not a narrow one ; and the wide diversity 
 of opinion among those who have spoken 
 from its platform may serve as a guaran- 
 tee that no limitation of sect or philo- 
 sophical Shibboleth has been enforced. 
 The aim of the Faculty has been to bring 
 together a few of those persons, who, in 
 America, have pursued, or desire to pur- 
 sue, the paths of speculative philosophy; 
 to encourage these students and profess- 
 ors to communicate with each other on 
 what they have learned or meditated; 
 and to illustrate, by a constant reference 
 to poetry and the higher literature, those 
 ideas which philosophy presents." Eighth 
 session of the school, July 14, 1886, the 
 lectures and conversations of the first 
 week being on Dante and his Divine 
 Comedy; the second on Plato and his In- 
 fluence in Philosophy. Terms, $5 for the 
 season; single tickets, 50 cents.

 ing pupils for church situations. 
 
 Conservatory School of Lan- 
 guages. (1867). 27 East ISfcwton St., 
 Franklin sq. The German, French and 
 Italian languages are taught here by an 
 especially effective system. Lessons are 
 given in classes or privately. 
 
 Conservatory Tuning School. 
 
 (1867). Franklin sq. Principal, F. W. 
 Hale. Superintendent of tuning, at fac- 
 tors', E. W. Davis. Ladies as well as gen- 
 tlemen are taught to master the tuning 
 of piano-fortes, pipes and reed organs. 
 
 Cowles Art School. (1873). New 
 
 Studio Building. 145 Dartmouth st. This 
 celebrated Art^School is establisbed in a 
 commodious, finely-located building, es- 
 pecially designed for it. The studios are 
 of good size, well lighted and ventilated, 
 and furnished with every convenience. 
 The success of this school has thus far 
 been simply phenomenal in the history of 
 similar institutions in this or any other 
 country. Taking the famous Academie 
 Julian, of Paris, as a model, the Cowles 
 School seeks to give art students such 
 advantages as are particularly and pecul- 
 iarly valuable, and in addition to the de- 
 sign of giving a continuous and thorough 
 training in- art, the school has a purpose 
 to meet, in a wholesome way, the needs of 
 a considerable number of earnest students 
 who are not able to attend for long periods 
 at a time, or who have been obliged to 
 gain their instruction in an irregular and 
 unequal manner, and require the making 
 up of deficiencies in special lines of study, 
 or of those who need some instruction to 
 better fit them for special work, as a 
 means of livelihood. The practical fea- 
 tures of the arrangements of the school 
 are as worthy of commendation as are 
 its artistic phases. One mission of this 
 school — according to the prospectus — is 
 " to aid in diffusing some correct knowl- 
 edge of art among those who study it as 
 a recreation, and who, without the privi- 
 
 lege, which the school gives, of consulting 
 their convenience as to the time of at- 
 tendance, or without having its oppor- 
 tunities suited tot heir mea ns, would never 
 receive that education — even if limited — 
 of their natural taste, which tends to 
 elevate the general appreciation of good 
 Art. An arrangement is made by which 
 students who are compelled to attend 
 irregularly may do so." The school is 
 under the management of Frank M. 
 Cowles, one of the most thorough, con- 
 scientious and able conservators of art in 
 the United States, to whose friendly en- 
 couragement many a successful artist is 
 willing to bear grateful testimony. We 
 can ourselves vouch for the almost mar- 
 vellous progress of several pupils under 
 his direction, having witnessed their 
 gradual, but constant improvement, and 
 listened to their praise of his painstaking 
 kindness. The Faculty of this great 
 school, which is recognized not only 
 throughout America, but in Europe as 
 well, lis a model one, includes Dennis 
 Miller Bunker (drawing and painting the 
 figure and head, from the flat, cast and 
 life, artistic anatomy and composition), 
 Abbott F. Graves (painting flowers and 
 still life), Mercy A. Bailey (drawing, paint- 
 ing, water colors and perspective), Fred- 
 erick M. Turnbull, M. D. (lectures and 
 demonstrations of artistic anatomy); J. 
 Harvey Young, Edgar Parker and Henry 
 Hitchings (visitors), Frank M. Cowles 
 (manager). Tuition: for regular course, 
 2 lessons from one teacher, use of studio, 
 models, all day, for 5 days in each week, 
 1st month, §15. Reductions are made to 
 continuous students. For season, 35 
 weeks, $100 for new student. Special 
 students, 5 lessons, $8; 9 lessons, $14, 
 Saturday classes, 1 lesson, §2; per month, 
 §6. Evening classes, S8 per month. (Take 
 Dartmouth st., Back Bay or Columbus av.

 Cyr School of French Lan- 
 guage. Richwood House, 258 Tremont 
 st. M. Xarcisse Cyr is the Director, his 
 name being a sufficient guarantee of the 
 excellence and thoroughness of the school, 
 which has attained more than a national 
 reputation. Its pupils represent every 
 section of the country. 
 
 Dana Hall School. "Weiiesley. 
 This is a school established for the pur- 
 pose of preparing pupils to enter AVelles- 
 ley College. Greek, Latin, music and 
 art are taught in courses arranged Avith 
 special reference to corresponding courses 
 at the College. 
 
 De la Motte Private Music 
 School. 36 Commonwealth av. Dis- 
 tinguished throughout the country for

 its pupils interpret the works of the mas- 
 ters, under the instruction of Mile. 
 Gabrielle de la Motte.

 57 
 
 DeLestrade=Burkart School 
 of French and German Lan- 
 guages. 179 Tremont st. A method 
 original with this school is in successful 
 operation here. The Principals consider 
 the method of translation generally used, 
 as ineffective ; while in their opinion the 
 so-called natural method causes too great 
 a strain upon the- nervous system. In 
 order that one may get an idea of their 
 method, the Principals will give a free 
 lesson to any one desiring it. Tuition, 
 (private): 12 lessons, $15; three persons, 
 each, $8.75. 
 
 Delsarte School of Oratory 
 and Bramatic Art. (1881). 147 
 Tremont st. Here is taught the System 
 of Expression formulated by M. Fran- 
 cois Delsarte, of whom Edwin Forrest 
 said, " No other teacher ever succeeded 
 in basing the Art of Acting on a positive 
 science. This Delsarte philosophy, has, 
 in fifteen minutes, given me a deeper in- 
 sight into the philosophy of my own art, 
 than I had myself learned in fifty years 
 of study." This school is under the di- 
 rection . of Mrs. J. S. Heald, an eminent 
 instructor in Dramatic Art. The large 
 number of graduates and advanced pu- 
 pils of other methods who have studied 
 (and are at present studying) the Delsarte 
 System at this school, testify to the im- 
 portance of the system. The course of 
 instruction is true, thorough, and prac- 
 tical in every branch, and no more pupils 
 are admitted than can receive personal 
 instruction from the Principal, whose 
 long and successful experience as a 
 teacher in this city is her highest testi- 
 monial. Ladies and gentlemen are pre- 
 pared for the stage or the platform. 
 Vocalists are taught dramatic action, ges- 
 ture, and expression. Amateurs are 
 coached. Defective utterance is cured. 
 Classes are limited to five pupils, and are 
 held day and evening, in Vocal Culture, 
 Elementary Elocution, Platform Oratory, 
 Dramatic Art, Gesture, etc. There are, 
 also, special classes on Saturdays, for 
 non-resident teachers and school chil- 
 dren. Also, classes in Shakespeare and 
 classical poetry. Private instruction is 
 given when desired. Tuition: Classes, 
 20 lessons, $10; private, $40. The Booth 
 Dramatic Club, connected with this 
 school, affords students opportunities 
 for practical experience on the stage.

 Dental School of Harvard 
 University. (1868). North Grove st., 
 Boston. The course of study for the first 
 of the three years is the same as that of 
 the first year of the Harvard Medical 
 School Course, lessons during that time 
 oeing given by the instructors of the 
 Medical School, the dental pupils joining 
 the medical pupils. After the first year 
 the students attend the Dental school. 
 
 Students are given practice in operations 
 of dentistry. Instnictors and Demon- 
 strators are in attendance every day of 
 the academic year in the Infirmary, a de- 
 partment of the Massachusetts General 
 Hospital. Students have access to the 
 various hospitals of the city, as well as to 
 the dissecting-room, museum and library 
 of the Harvard Medical School. Degree 
 of Doctor of Dental Medicine conferred. 
 Tuition: $200, first year; $150, second; 
 $50 any year following. Graduates of 
 other recognized dental schools are

 (1867). 154 Tremont st. Julius Eichberg, 
 Director. This is considered to be the best 
 Violin School in America. Mr. Eichberg

 artists in Europe, and has become re- 
 nowned as a soloist and as an orchestral 
 conductor. It is doubtful if Europe can 
 afford such thorough instruction on the

 EVE— FRE 
 
 Violin as can be had here. Tuition: one 
 term of 20 lessons (in class of 4), $20. Be- 
 ginners, first term, $15. Some of the 
 most distinguished violin virtuosi, includ- 
 ing such artists as Edouard Remenyi, 
 have accorded high praise to this school. 
 Mr. Remenyi, in a letter to Mr. Eichberg, 
 says: "I need not tell you that there is 
 nothing like your Violin School in Amer- 
 ica; honestly there is scarce]y anything 
 better in Europe. If a man wants to 
 learn to play the violin, he certainly can 
 learn it at your school. My dear Eich- 
 berg, let me congratulate you on your 
 success, and thank you as only one can to 
 whom the violin in particular — and mu- 
 sic^in general — is so dear." Wilhelmj, 
 Ole Bull and others have warmly com- 
 mended the system of instruction here.

 Flora E. Barry's School of 
 Vocal Instruction, and for 
 Preparing Artists for the Lyric 
 
 Stage. 124 Chandler st. Mrs. Barry 
 has more than a local reputation as an 
 artiste and teacher. She has filled en- 
 gagements with some of the most cele- 
 brated Opera Companies in the country 
 most successfully, receiving the highest 
 praise of critics and public — among them 
 the Hess Grand English Opera Company, 
 the Mahn English Opera Company, etc. — 
 and her recent artistic performances at 
 the Hollis Street Theatre are fresh in the 
 minds of all who witnessed them. Mrs. 
 Barry has for some years been one of the 
 brightest ornaments of our local lyric 
 stage, not only in opera, but in concert 
 and oratorio as well, being equally suc- 
 cessful as an exponent of the classical 
 or lighter schools. Even so critical an 
 authority as John S. Dwight, the seve- 
 rest musical critic in America, has given 
 her the highest praise, as will be seen by 
 the following extract from his Journal: 
 " It was pleasant to hear again the warm, 
 rich tones of Flora E. Barry, who sang 
 her beautiful selections in her usual re- 
 fined artistic style, and with true musical 
 
 feeling. She loses nothing of the purple 
 bloom or tenderness of her voice. A more 
 sympathetic, purely musical contralto we 
 do not know; such a voice certifies to a 
 fine musical nature." Mrs. Barry has the 
 rare faculty of imparting her perfect 
 method, as many of her pupils bear wit- 
 ness. Boston is indeed fortunate in pos- 
 sessing so eminent a teacher. She makes 
 an especial feature of preparing students 
 for concert, oratorio and operatic stage. 
 Terms: 20 half-hour lessons, $45; 20 one- 
 hour lessons, $80.

 manded the admiration of all who have 
 examined them. Since the year 1634, 
 when the first free school was opened, the 
 growth of the plan has been gradual, 
 progressive and far-reaching, until to-day

 the advisability of opening Kindergartens 
 among the poorer classes of the com- 
 munity as a preparation for the public 
 schools, and as a part of the great public 
 school system— this noble, public-spirited 
 lady founded, at her own expense, the 
 most perfect organization of Kinder- 
 gartens in the country. So successful 
 was the plan, that it has since been con- 
 tinued and enlarged by her. Children 
 from the age of three-and-a-half to six 
 years are received, from 9 to 12 m., from 
 September to July. The Kindergartens

 •for the Collegiate Instruction of Women 
 by Professors and other instructors of 
 Harvard University, has established in 
 Greenough House, Garden st., over- 
 looking Cambridge Common, America's 
 Great College for Women. It is placed 
 far beyond all other existing schools for 
 the gentler sex, not only on account of 
 the extremely high standard adopted by 
 its Board of Management, but also by 
 reason of its unique advantage in having 
 instruction given by eminent Professors 
 of the foremost University on the con- 
 tinent, in addition to many Instructors 
 of the same institution, comprising a 
 Faculty of nearly fifty of the leading 
 educators of the land. The President oi 
 the Society for the Collegiate Instruction

 ous, is Mrs.Louis Agassiz. Arthur Gilman

 tion for admission to the Secretary, who 
 will furnish blanks for the purpose. 
 Special students who wish to pursue 
 only higher studies, will not be required 
 to pass the regular examinations, pro- 
 vided they satisfy the instructors of 
 their ability to pursue these special 
 studies with advantage. The courses of

 Harvard University, Cam-

 It will be seen from the following table 
 of expense, that the sum of $484 is as 
 low as can be estimated for the necessary 
 expenses— including clothing and laun- 
 dry—of a year at this great University. 
 Bigid economy will be required in order 
 to do this, but no saving that will be in 
 the least detrimental to the health of the 
 student.

 Harvard University School 
 of Music. It is superflous to state 
 that no School of Music in the world has 
 a more exalted standard than that main- 
 tained at the Harvard University Musical 
 Department. Under the direction of 
 John Knowles Paine, who is universally 
 recognized as America's foremost native 
 composer, this institution takes rank 
 with the renowned Music Schools of Ber- 
 lin, Leipsic, Stuttgard, Paris, London and 
 other cities of the Old AVorld. Indeed, 
 since its establishment, numbers of stu- 
 dents have attended this school instead 
 of going abroad to study. The courses 
 are in general as follows : For the first 
 course some proficiency in pianoforte or 
 organ playing is required; the third 
 
 course requires a knowledge of musical 
 notation; the advanced courses are the 
 second, fifth and sixth. Course 1 : The 
 fundamental principles of the theory of 
 music are embodied in the study of Har- 
 mony, which treats of the different 
 chords in their natural relations and 
 combinations. Richter's Harmony is 
 used as the basis of the instruction, with 
 illustrations and explanations in the 
 class-room. The work will consist chiefly 
 of written exercises on figured basses, 
 which will be played over and corrected 
 in the class-room. Before the close of 
 the year well-known chorals and national 
 airs will be harmonized. Course 2: 
 Counterpoint applies the principles of 
 harmony to the melodious treatment of 
 the several voice parts in combination. 
 The art of musical composition begins 
 properly with this course, and is there- 
 fore indispensable to the thorough stu- 
 dent. Richter's Counterpoint is used in 
 teaching this course. The work consists 
 principally of written exercises on given 
 themes, in the following order: chorals 
 and other melodies harmonized, using 
 passing notes; the different orders in 
 counterpoint in two, three and four 
 voices; double counterpoint in the oc- 
 tave; free imitative counterpoint in two, 
 three and four voices. The simple forms 
 of free composition, organ preludes, 
 songs and part songs, will be composed 
 by the students in this course. Course 3: 
 The History of Music, comprehending 
 the whole field of Musical Art. The 
 gradual development of music from 
 ancient to modern times is traced, giving 
 the history of Gregorian church music : 
 the origin and development of the modern 
 scales and counterpoint; tbe choral music 
 of the Flemish and Italian masters of 
 the 15th and 16th centuries; history of 
 the opera, cantata, oratorio ; instrumental 
 music, with the development of the 
 present classical forms of composition as 
 represented by the great masters ; musical 
 instruments, ancient and modern, etc., 
 etc. Vocal and instrumental illustrations 
 are performed in the class-room. In- 
 struction is given in this course in the 
 form of lectures, the following books 
 being recommended for reference : Von 
 Dommer's Musik Geschichte, Ritter's 
 History of Music (2 volumes), Bonavia 
 Hunt's Concise History of Music; Grove's 
 Dictionary of Music. (A full list of 
 works on this subject will be supplied by 
 Professor Paine.) Course 5 is the most 
 advanced course in strict composition, 
 naturally succeeding courses 1 and 2. 
 Richter's Canon and Fugue is the text- 
 book. The time is mainly occupied in 
 composition of original and given themes, 
 consisting of choral variations, various 
 kinds of canons, and two, three and four- 
 part fugues. Course 6: A knowledge of 
 Musical Form (or thematic construction) 
 is essential to the thorough understand- 
 ing and appreciation of the works of the 
 great composers, as embodied in their 
 
HAY-JUG 
 
 65 
 
 immortal Symphonies, Overtures, String 
 Quartets, Sonatas, etc. Lectures will 
 also be given in this course. Pauer's 
 Musical Forms is used as a text-book. 
 The principal instrumental works of 
 Hadyn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schumann, 
 Mendelssohn, and others are analyzed. 
 Each work is played upon the pianoforte 
 by Professor Paine, in the class-room. 
 This course requires inventive talent and 
 ability to compose in the following forms 
 of free instrumental music: Prelude, 
 Etude, Song without words, Nocturne, 
 March, Polonaise, Minuet, Scherzo, 
 Rondo, and finally the complete Piano- 
 forte Sonata. The last two courses have 
 an important bearing on final honors. 
 Tuition: fee for each full course, one 
 year, for special students, $45. Cost of 
 books used: Richter's Harmony, $1.63; 
 Richter's Co untei point, $1.63; Von Dom- 
 mer's Musik Geschichte, $4.40: Ritter's 
 History of Music (2 vols.), $2.50; Richter's 
 Canon and Fugue, $1.63; Pauer's Musical 
 Forms, 75 cts. (The School is in Cam- 
 bridge, at the University, half an hour's 
 ride by street cars from Bowdoin Square, 
 or from Park Square). (See Harvard 
 University). 
 
 Ha yd en's Guitar Lessons. 
 
 146 A Tremont st. Winslow L. Hayden 
 has for many years been recognized as 
 one of the most eminent teachers of the 
 guitar in the United States, and it is gen- 
 erally conceded that he has no superior. 
 Fully comprehending the resources of 
 that fashionable and charming instru- 
 ment, and having completely mastered 
 them, he has no difficulty in imparting 
 his knowledge to his pupils. Either as a 
 solo instrument or as furnishing a sweet 
 and beautiful accompaniment to singing, 
 the guitar is becoming more popular every 
 year. Mr.Hayden has especially arranged 
 a large number of standard songs for the 
 guitar, a catalogue of which he will freely 
 send to any application by mail or other- 
 wise. In these days when nearly every 
 young lady learns to play the pianoforte, 
 it should be borne in mind that the guitar

 Medical School for Women 
 and Men. (Boston College of Physi- 
 cians and Surgeons). 34 Essex st. This 
 School has been regularly chartered, 
 having obtained rights from the Legisla- 
 ture of Massachusetts to give instruction 
 and confer diplomas. Its founders pre- 
 sent the following as their reasons for the 
 establishment of this new college : 1. To 
 afford women as well as men an opportu- 
 nity to obtain a complete and thorough 
 medical education, in a medical school 
 in Massachusetts, well equipped with 
 competent instructors, and supplied with 
 all conveniences for practical instruction 
 in every department of such education, 
 and with suitable lecture, laboratory, and 
 dissecting rooms and apparatus. 2. To 
 afford this education to both women and 
 men for a moderate price — one considera- 
 bly less than that required for graduation 
 by some of the old and well-established 
 schools in this State; and this result to 
 accomplish, without placing the standard 
 of instruction below that of the older 
 colleges, but ever maintaining such 
 standard, and the requirements for 
 graduation and its degrees equal, at least, 
 to the best medical college in the country. 
 It is hardly necessary to add that this 
 college is becoming firmly established, as 
 a great educational institution founded 
 on such a broad and laudable basis would 
 naturally be, as its objects and plans 
 strongly appeal to the fair-minded and 
 public-spirited men and women of Bos- 
 ton, Massachusetts and the United States, 
 in fact, for its influence is growing to be 
 national rather than to be locally circum- 
 scribed. Complying with the act of in- 
 corporation, an educational board was 
 appointed, consisting of members of the 
 Massachusetts Medical Society, the halls 
 were opened for courses of study (similar 
 to those pursued in other colleges), ex- 
 aminations, lectures, etc., and diplomas 
 have been conferred upon the graduates.

 Monroe Conservatory o f 
 
 Oratory. 36 Bromfield st. The first 
 School ol Oratory in this country em- 
 bracing a systematic and comprehensive 
 course of study based upon the absolute 
 principles of the philosophy of expres- 
 sion was established by Professor Lewis 
 B. Monroe, and was successfully con- 
 tinued until his death, which occurred in 
 1879. In the year following, C. W. Emer- 
 son, M.D., Professor of Philosophy of 
 Expression, ^Esthetics, Physiology and 
 Hygiene of the Voice and Oratorical and 
 Dramatic Action, opened the present 
 school. Prof. Emerson, a graduate of the 
 Monroe school, and subsequently a mem- 
 ber of the Faculty, called about him 
 nearly all of the members of the Faculty 
 formerly associated with Prof. Monroe, 
 and, concurring in the belief that the 
 new school should take the name of the 
 Monroe Conservatory of Oratory, as sug- 
 gested by Mrs. Monroe, it was accordingly 
 given that title. The design of the 
 school is to teach Oratory as an Art, rest- 
 ing upon absolute laws of nature, ex- 
 plained and illustrated by exact rules of 
 science, and to give a thorough and sys- 
 tematic training in all the principles 
 upon which this art is based. It qualifies 
 students to become professors and 
 teachers of elocution and oratory in the 
 colleges and schools of the land; to 
 supply the ever-increasing demand for 
 teachers who have studied not merely to 
 become brilliant readers, but to be mas- 
 ters of the great system of laws under- 
 lying the art of expression. Its curricu- 
 lum comprises voice culture, the focus of 
 right placing of tones ; Bell's method or 
 visible speech; analysis; rendering; dec- 
 lamation; reading of poetry; humorous 
 reading and recitation; delivery of ser- 
 mons; Bible and hymn reading; philoso-

 New England Conservatory 
 of Music. (1867). The largest music 
 school in the world. Located in Franklin 
 sq. About 40,000 pupils have already 
 taken lessons at this school. The building 
 is of immense size, being 185 feet on IS ew- 
 ton St., 210 feet on James St., and 7 stories 
 high, having accommodations for 550 lady 
 boarding-students. About 2,000 students 
 are constantly in attendance, represent- 
 ing 55 states, territories, provinces, and 
 foreign countries. There are nearly 100 
 instructors. The class system prevails, 
 although private lessons are given. Terms 
 for a year's instruction, etc.: Tuition, 
 voice and piano, each per term, first grade, 
 $10; second grade, $15: four terms, $100

 Eben Tourjee, mus. doc, director. The 
 Faculty includes some of the most emi- 
 nent professors in the world. At the 
 head of the vocal department are Signor 
 August Rotoli (the famous Italian teacher 
 who came here from Rome, where he 
 occupied one of the highest positions in 
 that land of song) and John O'Neill; the 
 
 instrumental teachers include such artists 
 of world-wide fame as Otto Bendix, Carl 
 Faelton, Leandro Campanari, Timotbie 
 d'Adamowski, Alfred De Seve and many 
 others. (Take any Washington-st. horse-

 266 Washington St., cor. Water st. One 
 of the most useful branches of instruction 
 as well as business, is that of Telegraphy. 
 A practical knowledge of it is almost sure 
 to secure a business opening, good opera- 
 tors being always in demand. During 
 the year 1885 there were more than one 
 hundred millions of telegraphic messages 
 sent. Many newspapers and business 
 men now have private wires, and require 
 special operators. There are now over 
 75,000 operators employed, the number 
 having been 24.000 in 1877. Salaries range 
 from $40 to $125 per month. The demand 
 for operators is generally larger than the 
 supply. The business, besides being 
 profitable, is reliable, light, pleasant, 
 steady, easily learned, fascinating and 
 educating. In order to learn telegraphy 
 easily and quickly one should be a fair 
 penman, have a good ear, and in three 
 months' time one can progress sufficiently 
 to take charge of a minor office. At the 
 New England Institute students are given 
 regular circuit practice on ail their wires, 
 transmission of messages, etc., and are 
 also taught the setting up of instruments, 
 batteries, etc. Terms: 3 months, $25; 
 evening, per term, three months, $15.

 Parisian Academy of Music. 
 
 (1885). Hotel Boylston, corner of Tre- 
 mont and Boylston sts. The Directors 
 of this celebrated music school — Prof. 
 Albert Pegou and Mme. Pegou— are from 
 the Paris Conservatoire, the former hav- 
 ing held various prominent positions in 
 Paris as President and Conductor of the 
 Schools' Philharmonic Society; violin 
 leader of the Haydn Quartet; baritone 
 soloist of the Boie'ldieu Choral Society, 
 etc., while the latter also evidenced a 
 great degree of versatility, having been 
 piano-soloist of Sivori's and Erard's 
 Concerts, and of Pasdeloup's Symphonic 
 Concerts; assistant professor of the 
 Bourgault-Ducoudray Choral Society, 
 etc. The courses of instruction at the 
 Parisian Academy of Music are as fol- 
 lows : Vocal music — French, Italian, and 
 English singing, solfeggio. Instrumental 
 music — pianoforte, violin, organ, har- 
 mony and composition. There are also 
 courses for the study of oratorio and 
 opera (soli and chorus); chamber music, 
 (strings, pianoforte and strings, two 
 pianofortes — four and eight hands — 
 organ); study of opera dramatic action. 
 Tuition can be given in English, French, 
 Italian or Spanish, by which pupils are 
 enabled to perfect themselves in language 
 as well as in music. This is an unique 
 feature in musical instruction, and one 
 that has found great favor with many 
 students. Another specialty which has 
 largely commended itself to pupils, is to 
 be found in the musicales given fre- 
 quently, when musical analysis, ex- 
 planation of the artistic touch, use of 
 the pedals, etc., are given in the most 
 interesting manner. In fact, the study 
 of vocal or instrumental music at the 
 Parisian Academy is not a dry, laborious 
 process, but a fresh, vigorous, enjoyable 
 series of exercises. There is a refined 
 musical atmosphere pervading the entire 
 system of study here that inspires and 
 stimulates the most apathetic pupil. 
 Now that this Academy is becoming 
 more generally known, through the suc- 
 cess of its pupils, young persons are 
 coming to avail themselves of its bene- 
 fits from all sections of the United States 
 and Canada. We do not know of any 
 other music school in this country that 
 is conducted on the system of the famous 
 Paris Conservatoire, and by Professors 
 from that institution. Tuition: Ele- 
 mentary classes, per quarter, $15; su- 
 perior classes, per month, $8; courses, 
 per month, $4; private lessons, singing, 
 
 10 half -hour lessons, $22.50; pianoforte, 
 $22.50. (The Academy is most centrally 
 and pleasantly located, all Tremont St., 
 Back Bay and Railway station street-cars 
 passing near the Hotel Boylston). 
 
 Perkins Institution and Mas- 
 sachusetts School for the 
 Blind. (1829). 553 East Broadway, 
 South Boston. The early organizers and 
 promoters of this School, (the fame of 
 which has extended throughout Europe, 
 it having been the first institution in the 
 world to establish courses of systematic 
 instruction for the blind) were Dr. SamT 
 G-. Howe and Dr. John D. Fisher, the 
 latter of whom suggested the founding 
 of such a school. Among the liberal 
 donors of the school have been Col. 
 Thomas W. Perkins and others. The 
 most noted pupil of this Institute is 
 Laura Bridgman, blind, deaf and, dumb, 
 whose instruction by Dr. Howe is a living* 
 witness of his triumph as an instructor. 
 Her case is celebrated as the most mar- 
 vellous result of the system of this school, 
 in every quarter of the globe. Several 
 institutions in Europe have already been 
 founded upon the model so successfully 
 established here. Among the branches 
 taught are music— for which it is famous 
 — (see Perkins Musical Institute) piano- 
 forte-tuning, chair-seating, upholstery, 
 etc. It is the idea of many that this 
 school is a charitable one merely; on the 
 contrary, it is an educational and indus- 
 trial institution principally. Terms, $300 
 a year. (A few indigent applicants are 
 permitted to enjoy the privileges of in- 
 struction at this school, if residents of 
 the State, upon application to the Gov- 
 ernor). Mr. Michael Anagos is Director 
 of the school. (Take any line of South 
 Boston horse-cars, from Scollay sq., 
 Brattle St., or Park sq). (See Kindergar- 
 ten for the Blind). 
 
 Perkins Musical Institute. 
 
 (1829). 553 East Broadway, South Boston. 
 Mr. Michael Anagos, Director. Estab- 
 lished solely for the education of the 
 blind, in music, etc. (See Perkins Insti- 
 tution and Massachusetts School for the 
 Blind). This is the oldest Music School 
 in Boston, and, it is believed, in this 
 country. Some of the pupils have here 
 acquired a knowledge of music and of 
 pianoforte-tuning, etc., which has ena- 
 bled them to obtain an independent 
 livelihood in various parts of the country, 
 as vocalists, pianoforte soloists and ac- 
 companists, vocal and instrumental 
 teachers, band and orchestra performers 
 and teachers, pianoforte tuners, etc. The 
 city of Boston has arranged to have all 
 the pianofortes in the various public 
 schools tuned and kept in order by the 
 pupils of this school, and the result has 
 been extremely successful in every re- 
 spect. Pupils are taught by means of 
 raised letters, a system invented by Dr. 
 Howe.

 Petersilea Academy of Mu- 
 sic, Elocution, Languages and 
 
 An. (1871). 281 Columbus av. This was 
 the third great Conservatory of Music — 
 chronologically considered — to be estab- 
 lished in Boston. It holds, and has ever 
 maintained a foremost rank among the 
 renowned educational institutions of the 
 Modern Athens. It was established by 
 one of the most eminent of America's 
 pianists— Carlyle Petersilea— who is still 
 at its head, and who is assisted by a large 
 staff of leading instructors. The noted 
 Petersilea Method for the Pianoforte is 
 the text-book for that instrument here. 
 The pupils of this famous school repre- 
 sent every section of the United States 
 and Canada. Many thousands of its 
 students are to be found exemplifying 
 the sound basis and thorough system and 
 finish of the Petersilea School throughout 
 the continent, in the concert-room, as 
 teachers, or in the parlor of the home. 
 Class and private lessons are given. 
 Prices of tuition: Pianoforte, 20 one- 
 hour lessons, in classes of four, $15; 
 Harmony, 20 lessons, $15; Singing, 20 
 lessons, $15; Organ, 20 half -hour lessons 
 (private), $20; 20 one-hour lessons, $50. 
 The Pianoforte Department is pre-emi- 
 nently distinguished, from the fact that 
 the celebrated Director of this Academy 
 is the only pianoforte virtuoso who has 
 founded a large and comprehensive 
 music school in this country. Many 
 brilliant solo pianists have graduated 
 from this rapidly extending Academy.

 Columbus av. horse-car). (See Petersilea- 
 School of Art, School of Elocution, School 
 of Languages).

 came to Boston from London, and for a 
 number of years, until her death, held 
 the foremost position among the music 
 teachers of America. Miss Van Buren 
 thoroughly acquired the excellent 
 method, and has met with the greatest 
 success in teaching it. Mme. Rudersdorff 
 herself acknowledged the ability of Miss 
 Van Buren to impart the system, over 
 her own signature, and it was a deserved 
 testimonial. Pupils from various sections 
 of the country are studying with Miss 
 Van Buren, at Hotel Glendon, Columbus 
 av., cor. Cazenove st. Miss Van Buren is 
 a vocalist of eminence, and her services 
 are in requisition at some of the best 
 concerts given in Boston and vicinity. 
 In her singing she demonstrates the 
 principles of the vocal art as illustrated 
 by Mme. Rudersdorff, of which she is so 
 brilliant an exponent, and which she 
 succeeds in imparting with so much ease, 
 and with such remarkable artistic re- 
 sults.

SAU-SCH 
 
 73 
 
 Sauveur School o£ Lan- 
 guages. 18 Pemberton so. German, 
 French, Italian, Spanish and other' lan- 
 guages taught by native teachers. Marie 
 Mehlbach, Principal. The Sauveur 
 method, exclusively taught here, is as 
 follows : The instruction is given wholly 
 in the language to be acquired, and the 
 pupils learn to understand and to con- 
 verse in the foreign tongue as practically 
 and as easily as if they were living in a 
 foreign country, -where English is neither 
 S2~>oJcen nor understood. From the first 
 lesson, the beginner's ear and organ of 
 speech are trained by speaking about 
 objects near and far, constantly progress- 
 ing from the known to the unknown, 
 from the concrete to the abstract. Then, 
 the ear and tongue having been formed, 
 pupils are led into grammar orally. Tui- 
 tion: Twenty private hour lessons, $30; 
 two pupils, each $20. In class, 20 lessons, 
 $12 and $15. 
 
 Sawyer's Commercial Col- 
 lege. (1839). 161 Tremont st. This 
 cobege, the oldest of its class in the 
 United States and having the highest 
 standard, attracts pupils from every sec- 
 tion of the country who desire a thor- 
 ough, practical business education. The 
 best advertisement for this celebrated 
 school is the genuine success of its grad- 
 uates, who are to be found in counting- 
 rooms, offices, etc., the world over. In 
 fact, so high does this college stand in 
 the opinion of the leading merchants of 
 the great cities that any young lady or 
 gentleman vouched for by Mr. George A. 
 Sawyer, the Principal, is almost sure to 
 obtain an immediate and profitable posi- 
 tion. The Faculty of the college com- 
 prises teachers of eminence, all of whom 
 have had successful experience in some 
 of the foremost educational institutions 
 in the land. The commercial course in- 
 cludes the English branches, book-keep- 
 ing, business correspondence, navigation, 
 drafting and mathematics, especial at- 
 tention being given to grammar, or- 
 thography, arithmetic and penmanship. 
 Book-keeping, including commercial 
 calculations, consists of a thorough and 
 practical course of both single and double 
 entry, with or without journal. Upon 
 graduation, the pupil is fully prepared 
 to take charge of any set of books. Stu- 
 dents completing the entire course and 
 successfully passing the required exam- 
 ination, are granted the Diploma of the 
 Sawyer Commercial College, which is 
 universally recognized throughout the 
 country as a sufficient introduction and 
 recommendation for any young man or 
 woman. There is no class system here, 
 all instruction being given in private.

 School of Arboriculture, Ar- 
 nold Arboretum. (1872). Jamaica 
 Plain District. In the year named Har- 
 vard University received from the late 
 James Arnold a bequest of $100,000, pro- 
 viding for the establishment of a school 
 for tree-cultivation, to be under the in- 
 struction of able professors and teachers, 
 in order that the most successful practi- 
 cal results may be obtained. It was the 
 desire of the testator that this school 
 should be established on the grounds of 
 the Bussey Institute (See Bussey Institute) 
 in the Jamaica Plain District, which is 
 one of the most beautiful tracts in New 
 England. Of the original estate of the 
 Bussey Institute grounds of 360 acres, 
 137 have been devoted to the purposes of 
 the Arboretum. It was Mr. Arnold's 
 desire that every variety of tree, bush, 
 shrub and herbaceous plant which grows 
 in the open air should have a specimen 
 here, and such will eventually be found 
 growing within these naturally beautiful 
 grounds. The professorship of tree-cul- 
 ture having been established, the school 
 soon became widely known, and in con- 
 sequence piipils made application for the 
 benefit of the valuable practical instruc- 
 
74 
 
 SCH 
 
 tion to be obtained here. The scientific 
 study of arboriculture is one that is 
 highly attractive to. many, and that this 
 department of Harvard University is a 
 credit to that famous and foremost edu- 
 cational institution of America need 
 scarcely be said. Students of the Arnold 
 School of Arboriculture, not candidates 
 for a degree, may join at all times ■with- 
 out examination, and pursue such courses 
 as may be selected. Candidates for the 
 degrees of Bachelor of Agricultural (or 
 Horticultural) Science are required to 
 take a preliminary course of one year in 
 the Lawrence Scientific School, (Cam- 
 bridge), or possess equivalent knowledge. 
 Fees: for academic year, $ 150; half-year, 
 $75; for any single course, $40 a year.

 this renowned Institute. It is under the 
 skilful direction of Prof .William R.AVare, 
 the course of instruction being modelled, 
 as fully as is practicable, upon that of 
 the Ecole des Beaux Arts, of Paris. This 
 school has in some measure been instru- 
 mental in giving Boston pre-eminence in 
 the architecture of its buildings. The 
 influence of this correct teaching must 
 sooner or later affect the architectural 
 taste of the country, as pupils now come 
 from various sections to receive the 
 benefits of the instruction given here.

 among the cultivated families of New 
 England, New York, the South and West. 
 The natural sciences are in charge of an 
 instructor who has made them a special 
 study. Native teachers of French and 
 German are engaged, in order that the 
 idioms of each language may be made 
 perfectly clear to the student;. Mathe- 
 matics form a strong feature of the curri- 
 culum, as a preliminary to the course in 
 natural science. Botany, zoology and 
 physics receive particular attention. The 
 History of Modern Europe and of America 
 is taught by Mr. E. H. Scars — the eminent 
 Principal of the school — who makes this 
 study especially interesting to those who 
 intend to travel in foreign lands or in our 
 own country. Drawing is taught by the 
 most competent instructors. Pupils 
 must not be under fourteen years of ago. 
 Special students are received. Tuition: 
 $250; special students, $ 50 a year for each

 processes are taught free on certain 
 days. 
 
 Stall's Bicycle School. 509 
 
 Tremont st. It is an axiom of the teach- 
 ers of the mind that the physical system 
 should be developed simultaneously, that 
 the pupil may have a sound mind in a 
 healthy body. One of the best methods 
 of taking healthful exercise, which is 
 recommended by eminent clergymen, 
 physicians, lawyers, and all following 
 literary or sedentary professions, is by 
 bicycle or tricyle riding. The benefits 
 derived are the greater owing to the 
 pleasure of viewing the country, thus 
 diverting the mind from any labor of ex- 
 ercise, and resting it by change. At Stall's 
 Bicycle School, which has been estab- 
 lished in Odd Fellows Building, at the 
 corner of Tremont and Berkeley sts., rid- 
 ing on any style of wheel, Star, Columbia, 
 
 etc., is taught, as well as tricycle riding. 
 Lessons are also given on the road. Sin- 
 gle lessons, 50 cents; course, $5. W. W.

 conductor of high ability, and as a musi- 
 cian of great and general accomplish- 
 ments, enables him to develop the musical 
 talent of his pupils in a surprisingly 
 rapid manner, enabling them to over- 
 come all difficulties with ease, and to

 elegant deportment. Students of the 
 various Colleges, Seminaries, Conserva- 
 tories, and other Schools in Boston and 
 vicinity, who have received lessons here 
 in polished manners, have carried the 
 fame of this Academy to all sections of 
 the country. At the head of the teachers

 faculty of imparting polite accomplish- 
 ments, ease and grace to his teachers, 
 who also share his patience with begin- 
 ners. This Academy was established 
 many years since, and is one of the most 
 successful institutions in the city.

 pianoforte, organ and harmony. Mr. 
 Ward is a certified pupil of Prof. John 
 Knowles Paine, of the Harvard Univer- 
 sity School of Music, at Cambridge, (a

 mut av., where he has better facilities 
 
86 
 
 WEL-WES 
 
 than at his former rooms, and in a more 
 favorable location for giving lessons. 
 This artist and teacher is one of the most 
 versatile gentlemen in the entire musical 
 profession, excelling in the capacity of a 
 vocalist, pianist, accompanist, organist, 
 and choral conductor, in all of which 
 branches of the profession he has won 
 merited recognition from the press and 
 public. As a teacher he is no less suc- 
 cessful, having the rare faculty of being 
 able to impart his knowledge and to 
 ground his pupils upon the same thor- 
 ough basis upon which he has been 
 placed by Prof. Paine, the foremost com- 
 poser America has yet produced. Among

 E. Abbey was the original manager of

 furnished playhouse, and the successes of

 rett, Clara Morris, Janauschek, and Fan- 
 ny Davenport are identified with the his- 
 tory of this famous house, while Daly's,

 sential features of a music hall. It is 
 130 f$et long 78 feet wide and 65 feet high, 
 these proportions being admirably 
 adapted for furnishing the best condi- 
 tions for the most favorable hearing of 
 vocal and instrumental performances 
 
 given by large and well-balanced chorus- 
 es and orchestras. The hall contains a 
 majestic statue of Beethoven, a cast of 
 Apollo Belvidere, various busts presented 
 by Charlotte Cushman, etc. The hall is 
 brilliantly lighted with incandescent 
 electric lights. The concerts by the 
 famous Boston Symphony Orchestra are 
 given here; also the oratorios by the 
 Handel and Haydn Society (the foremost 
 choral organization in the United States), 
 as Avell as the concerts of the Apollo, 
 Boylston and other noted clubs. The 
 Great Organ, erected in 1863, and which 
 was one of the largest, best and most 
 renowned instruments of the kind in the 
 world, was sold and removed in 1883, with 
 the intention of erecting a proscenium 
 arch and stocking the stage with scenery 
 and theatrical appointments. This has 
 not yet been done, however. Alfred P. 
 Peck was for many years the Superin- 
 tendent of the Hall. Charles A. Ellis 
 now fills that position. The Hall seats 
 2,600. 
 
 Tremont Temple. 80 Tremont 
 Street. This is one of the largest and 
 finest Halls in the country. Occupied on

 concerts, etc. It was dedicated Oct. 17, 
 1880. It is 122 feet long, It feet wide, and 
 66 feet high. It seats 2,'600. It is fur- 
 nished with an organ of great power and 
 beauty, having 4 manuals, 66 registers, 
 and 3,442 pipes.

 one, of brick, ornamented with panels of 
 terra cotta, representing allegorical sub- 
 jects, "The Genius of Art," and "Art 
 and Industry." These designs are on a 
 larger and more striking scale than any 
 hitherto attempted. Among the heads 
 of the figures are those representing 
 Copley, Allston, Crawford and other cele- 
 brated artists. The collection of famous 
 paintings, statuary, tapestries, casts, 
 mummies, pottery, etc., is a magnificent 
 one, and in some respects is unequalled

 complete collection in America. The 
 paintings include masterpieces by Fran- 
 cais, Corot, Couture, Millet, Diaz, Dore, 
 Stuart, Copley, Allston, Ames, Trumbull, 
 Page and other famous artists, the works 
 being the property of the Museum. The 
 collection of water-colors is very large 
 and valuable. The reproductions from 
 objects in the South Kensington Mu- 
 seum, London, are especially attractive.

 EXH 
 
 EXHIBITION OF BATTLE FLAGS. 
 
 Battle Flags of the War of 
 the Rebellion. At the State House, 
 Beacon Street, have been placed in al- 
 coves of Doric Hall, the flags — tattered 
 and blood-stained — of the regiments re- 
 turning home to Massachusetts at the 
 close of the War. The survivors of the 
 battles of the Rebellion, the descendants 
 of the soldiers, and many others, make 
 pilgrimages to this repository of these 
 flags, and many a memory is quickened, 
 many a feeling of patriotism kindled, 
 in young and old, by these emblems of 
 the courage and devotion of the soldiers 
 of Massachusetts, which are to remain 
 forever within the sight of all who 
 choose to visit this sacred shrine of 
 loyalty and freedom. We quote as fol- 
 lows from the eloquent address made to 
 the returning heroes by John Albion 
 Andrew, the famous War Governor of 
 Massachusetts: "These banners returned 
 to the Government of the Common- 
 wealth through welcome hands, borne 
 one by one out of this Capitol during 
 more than four years of Civil War, as 
 the symbols of the Nation and the Com- 
 monwealth, under which the battalions 
 of Massachusetts departed to the fields — 
 they come back again, borne hither by 
 surviving representatives of the same 
 heroic regiments and companies to 
 which they were intrusted. Proud mem- 
 ories of many fields; sweet memories 
 alike of valor and friendship;- sad mem- 
 ories of fraternal strife; tender memories 
 of our fallen brothers and sons, whose 
 dying eyes looked last upon these flam- 
 ing folds; grand memories of heroic 
 virtues, sublime by grief; exultant mem- 
 ories of the great and final victories 
 of our Country, our Union and the 
 righteous cause; thankful memories of a 
 deliverance wrought out for human na- 
 ture itself, tmexampled by any former 
 achievement of arms; with immortal 
 memories blended twine around the 
 splintered staves, weave themselves along 
 the warp and woof of these familiar 
 flags, warworn, begrimed and baptized 
 with blood." We also here record what 
 a writer in the Boston Transcript (De- 
 cember 22, 1885), said: " Twenty years ago 
 to-day was a memorable epoch in the 
 annals of the citizen soldiery of the Old 
 Bay State; for on that day the battle- 
 stained banners, which spoke so elo- 
 quently of the history which had been 
 wrought out under their folds in blood- 
 red characters, were received into the 
 outstretched arms of Massachusetts, in 
 whose sheltering breast they still remain 
 enfolded in loving embrace. When the 
 troops were mustered out of the United 
 States Service, the flags, with other prop- 
 erty, were turned over to Brevet Colonel 
 F. N. Clarke, who surrendered them to 
 
 the custody of the Commonwealth. On 
 the 22d of December, 1865, under the mar- 
 shalship of Major-General Darius N". 
 Couch, the veterans assembled upon the 
 Common, every one of the old commands 
 being represented, and with proud step 
 and swelling breast the torn and tattered 
 reminders of the thronged and tumult- 
 uous past were carried through the 
 streets of the city, amid martial strains 
 from scores of bands, the booming of 
 cannon and the welcoming shouts of the 
 multitudes. It was a day never to be for- 
 gotten. The sky was clear, and the sun's 
 bright face seemed to gain an added lus- 
 tre from the warm spirit of sympathy 
 which beamed through its round and 
 ruddy countenance. The procession 
 reached the State House at one o'clock, 
 and during the impressive exercises 
 which followed, consisting of prayer by 
 Rev. Dr. S. K. Lothrop and an eloquent 
 address by War-Governor John A. An- 
 drew, the color-bearers of each command 
 were stationed upon the steps of the cap- 
 itol. After the delivery of the colors it 
 was found that there were more than had 
 been given out in the morning. They 
 were clustered around the columns in 
 Doric Hall, where they remained until 
 the Legislature of 1866 passed a resolve, 
 in furtherance of a suggestion made by 
 Governor Bullock, authorizing their be- 
 ing placed in the niches on the north 
 side of Doric Hall and in the sides of the 
 niches occupied by the Washington 
 statue, and providing that, after having 
 been so placed, the flags should not be 
 removed from the State House without 
 the permission of the Legislature; and 
 with the exception of the flag of the 
 Twenty-first, which was carried at the 
 funeral of Sergeant Thomas Plunkett, 
 who defended it so gallantly during life, 
 no one of the flags has ever left the State 
 House since they were gathered there 
 twenty years ago. The flags were ar- 
 ranged without order, some of the in- 
 fantry colors being outside the enclosure; 
 and thus they remained until the 8th of 
 last August, when they drooped and fell, 
 as if in sadness over the death of Ameri- 
 ca's great General, whose body was then 
 being borne to its last resting-place. 
 With characteristic promptitude, Captain 
 Mitchell ordered that the standards be 
 immediately set up, the work of restora- 
 tion falling into the loving hands of 
 Captain Charles O. Eaton, who had been 
 associated with the life of these emblems 
 of heroism from their very birth. The 
 flags have all been repaired and systema- 
 tically arranged in strong and substan- 
 tial frames, the infantry colors now being 
 inside the Washington niche, while the 
 flags of the cavalry, batteries and heavy 
 artillery are in the niches on the north 
 and south sides of Doric Hall. The in- 
 
EXH 
 
 97 
 
 fantry standards are numerically ar- 
 ranged, the odd numbers on the left, the 
 even on the right hand. Every flag in 
 the building is "ragged, and it is antici- 
 pated that at no distant day each niche 
 will bear a tablet giving the names of the 
 organizations represented within. There 
 are in all 274 flags, 196 of which were car- 
 ried by infantry regiments, and 78 by 
 cavalry, battery or heavy-artillery organi- 
 zations, and the number of engagements 
 recorded is 246. These colors are eloquent, 
 not only in themselves of the time which 
 tried the nation's life, as that other time 
 tried men's souls, but they are sur- 
 rounded, also, by an atmosphere preg- 
 nant with interesting and pathetic his- 
 tory. This is recorded in the long list of 
 battlefields borne upon these silken 
 folds, in the especial inscriptions upon 
 many of them, and in the events collated 
 from hundreds of sources by the inde- 
 fatigable Captain Eaton."

 tion represented took part:

 BACK BAY DBRECTORY. 
 
 ABOUT the year 1857, the filling-in of 
 the so-called Back Bay, lying between 
 Charles St., Charles River, Parker st. and 
 the Boston and Providence Railway, was 
 begun in good earnest, and to-day that 
 enormous territory of made-land is al- 
 most entirely covered. Grand, wide 
 streets have been laid out, — notably Com- 
 monwealth avenue, two hundred feet in 
 width, with a park running its entire 
 length, — and hundreds of the most mag- 
 nificent dwellings have been erected 
 thereon by opulent merchants of Boston. 
 Practically, a new city has risen, almost 
 magically, and the Back Bay (or new 
 West End, as it is now commonly being 
 termed) rivals in magnificence the most 
 sumptuous quarters of the cities of the 
 Old World. Take, for example, the group 
 of buildings on Copley Square, at the 
 junction of Huntington av. with Boyls- 
 ton St., including the Museum of Fine 
 Arts, Trinity Church, the new South 
 Church, and other buildings ; where can 
 such a combination of architectural 
 grandeur be surpassed ? The private 
 residences of Oliver Ames, at the cor- 
 ner of Commonwealth av. and t West 
 Chester Park St.; John F. Andrew, 'at the 
 corner of Commonwealth av. and Here- 
 ford St., with its Tuileries balcony; John 
 P. Phillips, corner of Marlborough and 
 Berkeley sts.; Charles A. Whittier and 
 F. L. Higginson, 270 and 274 Beacon St., 
 are elegant structures. The Hotel Ven- 
 dome, Commonwealth av., corner of Dart- 
 mouth St., is a fine building, and the 
 numerous apartment houses are superb 
 structures. The accompanying complete 
 list of the residents of this beautiful 
 quarter will be of value to strangers as 
 well as citizens, and may prove of service 
 to future genealogists, biographers and 
 historians. (This section is reached by 
 either line of Back Bay street cars — 
 Vendome or Clarendon — from Scollay. 
 Square). 
 
 Arlington Street. (From opposite 
 95 Beacon st. to opposite 113 Boylstonst.).

 Boylston Street. (From Wash'n to 
 Back Bay Park). Boylston st. is rapidly be- 
 coming a business street; hotels, schools, 
 and stores having already threatened the 
 residences well towards Berkeley st. 11 
 but a few months' time has been suffi- 
 cient to wholly change the character of 
 this street from Park sq. to Church St., 
 what may not be expected to take place 
 during the next few years ? Business is 
 fast working Back Bay-ward, rather than 
 South End-ward; Columbus a v. is being 
 rapidly converted into a street of manu- 
 factories; and altogether it looks very 
 much as if dwelling-houses were to be 
 pushed farther back year by year. The 
 once fashionable character of" a portion 
 of Boylston st. has almost departed, and 
 many of its former residents have sought 
 homes elsewhere. Hotels on this street 
 are as follows: Berkeley (158), Boylston 
 (26), Bristol (231), Brunswick (198), Cluny 
 (233), Kensington (291), Pelham (34), Puri- 
 tan (29), Thofndike (91), Vivian (283), Ver- 
 celli Italian Restaurant (87). Schools : 
 Berkeley, Boston School of Elocution, 
 Chauncy Hall School, French's Commer- 
 cial School, Institute of Technology, etc. 
 As will be seen by the following list of 
 residents, many of the houses are now, 
 occupied by physicians :

 Hansom Cabs. (1884). The London 
 Hansom is evidently destined to become 
 eventually the most popular cab in Bos- 
 ton, owing to its manifest advantages 
 over every other form of public vehicle. 
 It has been steadily gaining in public 
 favor for a number of years, and there 
 are numbers of persons who will ride in 
 no other public carriage, unless a Han- 
 som cannot be procured. For business 
 purposes, for making calls, for shopping 
 and for pleasure rides, nothing can equal 
 the Hansom. The passenger can enter 
 and leave them easily, without crushing 
 hat or clothing; one can have a full view 
 of either side of the street, the driver 
 being at the top of the Cab, in the rear; 
 the cushions and linings of this carriage 
 are always well aired, — (which is quite a 
 consideration, as four-wheeled, close cabs 
 are sometimes used for the conveyance of 
 fever patients and others to the H'ospital) 
 — and as the Hansoms are well lighted at 
 night by side lamps, there is scarcely any 
 danger by collision or other accident. 
 The Hansom is the only ptiblic carriage 
 that may be said to have survived almost 
 all the "others that have been tried in 
 London, in which city there are upwards 
 of 20,000 in use. The Hansom has un- 
 questionably come to Boston to' stay. 
 
 Hansom Cab Standing's are at 
 
 24 Hayward Place, (from 582 Washington 
 St.), at 32 North St., and at various other 
 points. Telephone orders for Hansoms 
 can be sent to 32 North St., or calls by 
 messenger to 24 Hayward Place.

 STREET CARS AND COACHES. 
 
 Boston's First Horse Rail- 
 way was laid on Treuiont St., running 
 from the head of Bromfield st., to the 
 South End only, in 1856, by the Metro- 
 politan Street Railway Company. Pre- 
 vious to that time, omnibuses — lines 
 known as "King's" and "Hawthorne's" — 
 had had a monopoly of passenger trans- 
 portation. Other horse-railway lines 
 were subsequently organized, and there 
 are now seven great lines, carrying an 
 enormous number of passengers daily.

 Omnibuses. Omnibuses were 
 never a popular passenger vehicle in Bos- 
 ton, and since 1856 — when the horse cars 
 were first introduced — the demand for 
 them has been steadily on the decline. 
 There is no doubt, however, that, before 
 a great many years, the horse car tracks 
 on Washington and Tremont sts., between 
 Cornhill and Dover sts. will be taken up, 
 and omnibuses of the London and Paris 
 patterns substituted. As the traffic con- 
 tinues to increase on these busy thorough- 
 fares, year by year, blockades of horse 
 cars will be more and more frequent, and 
 as horse cars cannot turn out for other 
 carriages, omnibuses, which very seldom 
 become blockaded, owing to the facility 
 with which they can be made to take 
 short turns, will naturally be put in the 
 place of the cars. Along Cheapside and 
 the Strand, in London, two of the most 
 crowded thoroughfares in the world, om- 
 nibuses run at a good rate of speed, 
 much faster, in fact, than our horse cars, 
 and blockades are almost unknown. 
 From the top of these omnibuses one can 
 get a better idea of the city than in any 
 other way. Boston will never know what 
 perfect street transit is until lines of omni- 
 buses are placed in her principal streets. 
 Horse cars may be used, as in foreign 
 cities, for suburban service. Following 
 are the lines of omnibuses now in opera- 
 tion in the city :

 TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE. 
 
 Telegraph. Boston, from the time 
 of the invention of the telegraphic sys- 
 tem, has been closely identified with the 
 progress of the service. It could scarcely 
 be otherwise, as the inventor of the tele- 
 graph, Samuel F. B. Morse, was a native 
 and citizen of the Charlestown District, 
 having been born in the family home- 
 stead at the foot of Breed's (Bunker) 
 Hill, 1791. The Telegraph having been 
 invented in 1832, it was but a few years 
 later that Boston capitalists began to in- 
 vest largely in the stock. Several com- 
 panies were organized here previous to 
 1840. Among the companies formed have 
 been the Northern (the first), Boston and 
 Vermont, New York and Boston, the 
 Magnetic, Union, American, Independ- 
 ent, People's, Insulated Air Line between 
 Boston and Washington, International, 
 Franklin, Atlantic, United States, and, 
 later, the Western Union, with which 
 have been merged the Atlantic and Pa- 
 cific and American Union. To-day there 
 is no city better supplied with facilities 
 for telegraphing than Boston. Offices 
 are numerous and conveniently located, 
 rates are extremely reasonable, especially 
 for night messages to the principal cities, 
 and altogether there is nothing lacking 
 to make the service completely satisfac- 
 tory. Indeed, so well pleased with it are 
 many business men and theatrical mana- 
 gers that with them the telegraph has 
 almost superseded the postal service. 
 
 Telegraph Offices. One has not 
 
 far to go on week-days to find an office, 
 at any reasonable hour. If one is down 
 town, he will find offices which are never 
 closed (day or night, Sundays included), 
 at 109 State St., cor. Federal and Milksts., 
 Old State House, 177 Devonshire St., 33 
 Milk St., and up to midnight on week- 
 days the following offices are open : Hotel 
 Brunswick, 12 Worcester St., Traveller's 
 Building (31 State St.), International Hotel 
 (623 Washington St.), Washington St., cor. 
 Waltham; while at the leading hotels 
 offices are open until 10.30 p. m. The 
 cable offices are never closed. The service 
 of the various lines is quite efficient, and 
 the tariff reasonable. Following are the 
 locations of the offices of the different 
 lines, with hours of closing: 
 
 Atlantic Gable. Commercial (Mac- 
 kay-Bennett), 4 Arch St., never closed.

 Gold and Stock Telegraph 
 
 Company, 7 Merchants' Exchange, 
 53 State st. 
 
 Boston's First Telegraph 
 Office, that of the Northern Telegraph 
 Company, was opened in 1839, in Court 
 square, corner of Williams ct., in the 
 building now used by the Second Station 
 of Police. 
 
 Telephone. It is interesting to note 
 the fact that the telephone now in general 
 use almost everywhere, was first devel- 
 oped as a transmitter of conversation by 
 
 Prof. A. Graham Bell, of Boston Univer- 
 sity, 12 Somerset st. He had a laboratory 
 in Exeter pi., Chauncy st. On Feb. 13, 
 1877, the first messages ever sent by tele- 
 phone were received at the Exeter pi. 
 Laboratory, in Boston, from Prof. Bell, 
 who had gone to Salem, 16 miles out, for 
 that express purpose. His dispatches 
 were published Feb/14 (the next morning), 
 the Boston Daily Globe of that date be- 
 ing the first newspaper on record to pub- 
 lish telephone messages. Prof. Dolbear, 
 of Tufts College, College Hill, about this 
 time invented what is known as the Dol- 
 bear Telephone. The first telephone estab- 
 lished in Boston was the Bell, the for- 
 mation of the American Bell Telephone 
 Company rapidly bringing the system 
 into general use.

 around Boston are noted for their natural 
 and artistic features of beauty. Mount 
 Auburn, Cambridge, was the first in the 
 United States to be laid out as a " garden 
 cemetery," is the most widely known 
 burial-place, and is probably more largely 
 visited by strangers from Europe and 
 elsewhere, than any similar enclosure in 
 this country. (See Mount Auburn).

 BOSTON POST-OFFICE. 
 
 Post-Office and Sub-Treas- 
 ury Building. Situated on the 
 square bounded by Post-Office Square, 
 Mi:k, Devonshire and Water Streets. 
 The principal entrance is from Post-Office 
 Square. There are also entrances on 
 Devonshire, Milk and Water Streets. 
 The building, architecturally, is grand 
 and imposing, and is of the Renaissance 
 style, built of granite. Up to the con- 
 struction of this building tiie Post-Office 
 in Boston has been located in quarters 
 leased by the United States Government 
 for that purpose. During the siege of 
 Boston, 1776, the Post-office was re- 
 moved to Cambridge, having previously 
 been located on Washington Street, near 
 what is now Cornhill. It has at different 
 periods been located on State Street; in 
 the Old State House; in Summer Street 
 (corner of Chauncy Street): in Faneuil 
 Hall and in the Old South Church. The 
 present building was largely the means 
 of arresting the progress of the Great 
 Fire of 1872, not, however, until the 
 flames had damaged the building to the 
 extent of $175,030. Traces of the fire are 
 yet to be seen in the stone, although the 
 blocks badly defaced were removed and 
 new ones substituted.

 iers office, rooms 50-51 (from Water st. 
 side) from 9 to 3; Superintendent of News-

 Postal Rates and Conditions. 
 
 Letters, and all other written matter, 
 whether sealed or unsealed, and all other 
 matter sealed, nailed, sewed, tied, or 
 fastened in any manner, so that it cannot 
 be easily examined, two cents per ounce 
 or fraction thereof. All manuscript 
 matter designed for publication, manu- 
 script music, and manuscript maps, un- 
 less accompanied by proof-sheets or 
 corrected copies thereof, and also draw- 
 ings, plans, and designs, are first-class 
 matter. When only a single copy of a 
 reproduction by any other process than 
 ordinary type, plate, and lithographic 
 printing is offered for mailins:, and it does 
 not appear from internal evidence that it 
 is being sent in identical terms to several 
 persons, it is subject to letter rates of 
 postage. All sealed packages, except 
 packages of seeds in sealed transparent 
 envelopes ; all packages sewed up except 
 in the case of seeds, where the absence 
 of any other matter can be ascertained 
 by feeling; and all packages in any ica.y 
 so closed against inspection that their 
 contents cannot be fully ascertained 
 without breaking the seal, or without 
 undue delay in opening the same, are 
 subject to first-class postage. The use of 
 the hand stamp for printing personal 
 communications, as the stamping of a 
 receipt or credit on a bill or account, 
 constitutes the matter first-class. The 
 use of a printed signature to partly 
 written and partly printed papers does

 checks, cancelled or uncancelled, and all 
 matter of the same general character 
 wholly or partially in writing, are sub- 
 ject to first-class rates of postage. Diaries 
 and bank books with entries in writing, 
 and autograph albums filled in with 
 written signatures or miscellaneous writ- 
 ing, are first-class matter. Written 
 visiting cards, envelopes, and tags with 
 written addresses thereon, are first-class 
 matter. Matter produced by the type- 
 writer or caligraph and similar processes 
 is first-class matter and subject to letter 
 rates of postage. 
 
 Postal Cards. The object of the 
 postal card is to facilitate correspondence 
 and provide for the transmission through 
 the mails, at a reduced rate of postage, 
 of short communications, either printed 
 or written in pencil or ink. They may, 
 therefore, be used for orders, invitations, 
 notices, receipts, acknowledgements, 
 price-lists, and other requirements of 
 business and social life : and the matter 
 desired to be conveyed may be either in 
 writing or in print, or partially in both. 
 In using postal cards, care should be 
 taken not to paste, gum (except an ad- 
 dress tag or label), or attach anything to 
 them, or to write anything on the address 
 side other than the address. They are 
 unmailable as postal cards when these 
 suggestions are disregarded, but are 
 mailable as letters when additional 
 stamps are affixed thereto to prepay letter 
 postage, viz., one cent for a single rate, 
 and two cents for each additional rate. 
 Postal cards are issued exclusively by the 
 Post-Office Department, and may be used 
 either for printed or written, or partly 
 printed and partly written, communica- 
 tions. "Postal cards" issued by private 
 parties are subject to letter rates of post- 
 age when they contain any written matter 
 whatever in addition to the date and 
 name of the addressed and of the sender, 
 and the correction of mere typographical 
 errors therein. In getting up such cards, 
 care should be taken not to imitate the 
 cards issued by the Post-Office Depart- 
 ment, or have the words "Postal Card" 
 printed thereon, or they may render 
 themselves liable to prosecution. "When 
 any one is annoyed or expects to be 
 annoyed by postal cards sent from any 
 particular place or from any known per- 
 son, he may direct the postmaster at the 
 point named to destroy all postal cards 
 addressed to him, or cards from any 
 person named so addressed, and so far as 
 the duties of the post-office permit suffi- 
 cient examination, the postmaster should 
 comply with the request. The same re- 
 quest mav be made of the receiving post- 
 master. The direction to the postmaster 
 should be in writing and should be 
 placed on the files of his office. 
 
 Newspaper Rates. The postage 
 on newspapers is at the rate of one cent 
 for each four ounces or fraction thereof. 
 
 Foreign Rates. The rates for the 
 countries and places which belong to the 
 Postal Union, are as follows : Prepayment 
 optional, except for registered articles, 
 but on printed matter and samples post- 
 age must be at least partially prepaid. 
 Letters — 5 cents per 15 grammes, a 
 weight very slightly over one half ounce. 
 Post cards — 2 cents each. Printed Mat- 
 ter. — 1 cent for each two ounces or frac- 
 tion. Limit of weight, 4 lbs. 6 oz. Com- 
 mercial Papers (Insurance Documents, 
 Way Bills, Invoices, Papers of Legal 
 Procedure, Manuscripts of works, &c.) — 
 The same as for printed matter, but the 
 lowest charge is 5 cents.

 Postal Notes. All postmasters at 
 money-order offices are authorized to 
 issue postal notes for sums less than five 
 dollars, payable "to bearer at any time 
 within three months from the last day of 
 the month of issue. The fee for a postal 
 note is three cents. 
 
 Suggestions. Do not address 
 letters " B. H. District." If Boston 
 Highlands is intended use " Roxbury 
 District; " if Bunker Hill is the desired 
 
 destination use " Charlestown District." 
 Do not place newspapers on the top of 
 the street boxes. The collectors are not 
 required to carry them to the Central 
 Office, the boxes being intended for the 
 reception of letters only. Some of the 
 papers and packages left in this careless 
 way are stolen by tramps, who are 
 tempted by the stamps, while others 
 have the stamps washed off and the en- 
 closures ruined by sudden rains, or are 
 blown away. 
 
 STATUES AND MONUMENTS- 
 
 Adams Bust. Doric Hall, State 
 House, Beacon Street. A marble bust of 
 Samuel Adams. 
 
 Adams Statue. (1880). Adams 
 Square, at the intersection of Washing- 
 ton Street, Cornhill and Brattle Street. 
 A bronze statue of Samuel Adams, of 
 Revolutionary fame, by Miss Anne 
 Whitney. The inscriptions on the pedes- 
 tal—of granite— are as follows: 
 
 SAMUEL ADAMS 
 
 — 1722 — 1803 — 
 A Patriot. 
 
 He Organized 
 The Revolution 
 and signed the 
 Declaration of 
 
 Independence. 
 
 Governor 
 A True Leader 
 of the People. 
 
 Erected A. D. 1380. 
 
 From a Fund bequeathed 
 
 To the City by 
 
 Jonathan Phillips. 
 
 A Statesman 
 Incorruptible and Fearless. 
 
 This Statue cost $6,856, and was un- 
 veiled July 5, 1880. 
 
 Adams Statue. Chapel, Mount 
 Auburn, Cambridge. A statue of John 
 Adams, second President of the United 
 States. 
 
 Andrew Statue. (1871). Doric 
 Hall, State House, Beacon Street. A fine 
 marble statue of John Albion Andrew, 
 the War Governor of Massachusetts. 
 Thomas Ball was the sculptor, and he 
 succeeded in reproducing the familiar 
 
 features of Andrew with the utmost 
 fidelity to nature. It cost $10,000. It 
 was placed here Feb. 14, 1871. In writing 
 of " Our Portrait Statues," George B. 
 Woods said: "It is not only a faithful 
 portraiture — always Mr. Ball's strong 
 point— but there is something better" than 
 literal likeness about it— an incorporation 
 into the marble of the noble nature of the 
 man, which is the highest achievement 
 of Art. Altogether the statue moves the 
 spectator to hearty liking; and we feel 
 sure that it will grow into the popular 
 heart as it stands close by where the 
 Governor toiled and thought through five 
 exhausting years surrounded by the 
 tattered flags of the thousands of Massa- 
 chusetts boys, who, like him, gave their 
 utmost effort for nationality and liberty, 
 and many of whom, like him, sealed the 
 sacrifice with death." 
 
 Arlstides Statue. (i849).Louisburg 
 Square, between Pinckney and Mount 
 Vernon Streets. An Italian marble 
 statue of Aristides "the Just," presented 
 by the late Joseph Iasigi to the city. 
 Placed here December, 1849. 
 
 Army and Navy Monument. 
 
 (1877). Monument (or Flagstaff) Hill, 
 Boston Common. The monument is of 
 granite, in the form of a Doric column, 
 surmounted by a bronze emblematic 
 statue of the Genius of America; at the 
 base are four statues representing re- 
 spectively the Soldier, the Sailor, History 
 and Peace. Bas-reliefs in bronze are 
 placed between these statues, represent- 
 ing the Departure of the Regiment, a 
 Naval Action, the Sanitary Commission 
 and the Return from the War and Sur- 
 render of the Battle-Flags to the Gov- 
 ernor at the State House. Portraits of 
 John Albion Andrew, Wendell Phillips, 
 Phillips Brooks, D. D., A. H. Vinton, 
 D. D., Archbishop Williams, Henry W. 
 
190 
 
 BAL-BEE 
 
 Longfellow and others are to be seen in 
 the bas-relief of the Departure of the 
 Regiment, standing upon the steps of 
 the State House, while with the troops 
 are Generals Charles Russell Lowell and 
 Benjamin F. Butler, Colonels Cass and 
 Shaw. The Sanitary Commission bas- 
 relief has portraits of Alexander H. Rice, 
 James Russell Lowell, Marshall P. Wilder, 
 Ezra H. Gannett, D. D., George Ticknor, 
 Rev. Edward Everett Hale and others. 
 In the Return from the War group is 
 represented a regiment halting in front 
 of the State House, with Generals 
 Devens, Bartlett, Banks and Underwood 
 mounted. Upon the steps of the State 
 House are represented Governor Andrew, 
 Charles Sumner, Henry Wilson and 
 others. The monument is 70 feet high. 
 It was the work of Martin Milmore. It 
 cost $75,000. It was dedicated Sept. 17, 
 1877, the President of the United States 
 and nearly all of his cabinet being 
 present at the ceremonies. The ora- 
 tion was pronounced by General 
 Charles Devens. There was a grand pro- 
 cession, with upwards of 30,000 persons — 
 military and civic bodies — in line. The 
 inscription on the monument — written 
 by Charles W. Eliot, President of Har- 
 vard University — is as follows: 
 
 To The 
 
 Men of Boston 
 
 Who Died 
 
 Fob their Country 
 
 On Land and Sea 
 
 In the AVAR WHICH 
 
 Kept the Union whole 
 
 Destroyed Slavery, 
 
 And Maintained 
 
 The Constitution, 
 
 The Grateful City 
 
 Has Built this Monument 
 
 That their Example 
 
 May Speak to 
 Coming Generations. 
 
 It may be interesting if not instructive 
 to record here the opinion of Wendell 
 Phillips on this work: "No Ball or 
 Greenough hand ever lifted that proud 
 column which crowns Frogpond Hill 
 (Boston Common); the drapery of its 
 figures so flowing and graceful, that, 
 without hiding, it adorns them ; costumes 
 and figures neither violent nor clumsy, 
 but easy, lifelike, natural and suggestive, 
 each telling its own story; no sense of 
 weariness in gazing at them; no drawback 
 on your satisfaction. It has only one 
 peer, that living figure at Concord, so 
 full of life and movement that one fears 
 Ee shall not see it again if he passes that 
 way the next week. This otherwise per- 
 fect column (the Army and Navy Monu- 
 ment) has one defect, the one I have 
 noticed in every city and town monument 
 raised since the war. For anything these 
 marble records tell, the war might have 
 been, like that of 1812, for 'free trade and 
 sailors' rights,' or for a northeastern 
 
 boundary. You search in vain through 
 them all for the broken chain or the 
 negro soldier. Milmore has done better 
 than his fellows; for he gives us, in one 
 bas-relief, the stern and earnest face of 
 J. B. Smith, a suggestion welcome and 
 honorable. He should have done more. 
 Perhaps sometime it can be mended, and 
 a broken chain and negro form tell what 
 really saved the Union." 
 
 Ballou Statue. Mount Auburn, 
 Cambridge. A fine statue of Rev. Hosea 
 Ballou. By Edward A. Brackett, the 
 well-known sculptor. 
 
 Beethoven Statue. Boston Mu- 
 sic Hall. The majestic statue of Ludwig 
 Von Beethoven, in bronze, on the stage 
 of Music Hall, was the work of Thomas 
 Crawford, an American sculptor, so 
 grateful to the citizens of Boston who 
 gave him a commission for an ideal 
 statue (that of Orpheus, now at the Bos- 
 ton Museum of Fine Arts), that when 
 Charles C. Perkins gave him an order for 
 a bronze statue of Beethoven, Crawford 
 accepted the commission but declined to 
 accept any payment whatever for his 
 work. Mr. Perkins therefore paid the 
 expense of casting, founding and ship- 
 ment to Boston, and had it placed in its 
 present position. It is a grand statue; in 
 fact, there are few works by American 
 sculptors that equal it. It is greatly ad- 
 mired by all who behold it. 
 
 Boy and the Eagle, vestibule 
 of Boston Athenaeum, 10B Beacon Street. 
 Bronze. By Richard S. Greenough. 
 
 Bowditch Statue. (1847). Mount 
 Auburn, Cambridge. One of the most 
 noted statues in Boston or vicinity is this 
 bronze statue of Nathaniel Bowditch, 
 representing the famous scientist seated, 
 with globe and quadrant at his feet, 
 holding a book. It was designed by Ball 
 Hughes, and was cast in Boston. It at- 
 tracts great attention from visitors to 
 Boston, who pronounce it a fine work of 
 art. 
 
 Bowditch Statue. Vestibule of 
 Boston Athenaeum, 10B Beacon Street. 
 Statue of Nathaniel Bowditch, the cele- 
 brated writer on navigation. (Cast.) 
 
 Brewer Fountain. (1868). A 
 
 beautiful bronze fountain placed on the 
 Common, near Park Street, in 1868. It 
 was the gift of the late Gardner Brewer. 
 At the base are figures of Neptune, Am- 
 phitrite, Acis and Galatea. Lienard, the 
 eminent French artist, made the design, 
 which received a gold medal at the Paris 
 Exposition of 1855.

 Brighton Soldiers' Monu- 
 ment. (1866). Evergreen Cemetery, 
 Brighton District. Dedicated July 26, 
 1866. It is of granite, and is 30 feet high. 
 The cost was $5,000. Rev. F. A. Whitney 
 delivered the dedicatory oration. 
 
 Bunker Hill Monument. (1843). 
 
 This obelisk of granite, so conspicuous a 
 land mark for many miles around Boston, 
 was erected upon Euuker Hill, in the 
 Charlestown District, to commemorate 
 the first great battle of the American 
 Revolution, which was fought here, June 
 17, 1775, when 4,000 British troops and 
 3,000 Americans (commanded by Prescott, 
 Putnam and Warren), for four or five 
 hours hotly contested the possession of 
 the breastworks erected by the American 
 troops during the previous night. The 
 monument is 220 feet high. Ihe corner- 
 stone was laid by Lafayette. Fairs, sub- 
 sciiptions and other means were applied 
 toward raising funds for its completion, 
 Fanny Ellsler, the celebrated dancer, 
 contributing liberally. On June 17, 1E43, 
 Daniel Webster (who had made the ad- 
 dress at the laying of the corner-stone by 
 Lafayette), delivered the dedicatory ora- 
 tion, in the presence of John Tyler, the 
 President of the United States, and his 
 entire cabinet. (Webster was then Sec- 
 retary of State). A historical writer says 
 cf the impressive event: "Webster was 
 himself that day, and his apostrophe to 
 the gigantic shaft was as grand and 
 noble as the subject was lofty and sub- 
 lime. Waving his hand toward the 
 towering structure he said: ' The power- 
 ful speaker stavds motionless before us .' ' 
 He was himself deeply moved. The sight 
 of such an immense sea of upturned 
 faces— he had never before addressed 
 such a multitude— he afterwards spoke 
 of as awful and oppressive. The ap- 
 plause from a hundred thousand throats 
 surged in great waves around the orator, 
 completing, in his mind, the parallel of 
 Old Ocean." (To reach Bunker Hill take 
 Charlestown street -cars from Cornhiil, 
 Scollay Square). A 
 
 Ceres Statue. (1865). Surmount- 
 ing Horticultural Hall, at 100 Tremont 
 Street, is a fine granite statue, represent- 
 ing Ceres, from the hand of the late 
 Martin Milmore. The strength and free- 
 dom of the figure are supremely artistic. 
 
 Charlestown Soldiers and 
 Sailors' Monument. (1872). Win- 
 throp Square, Charlestown District. 
 Martin Milmore was the designer. 
 Erected on what was in colonial times 
 the training-ground of the militia. On a 
 pedestal are three figures, one — the ideal 
 Genius of America — crowning the soldier 
 and sailor with laurel wreaths. It was 
 here that the Fifth Maryland Regiment — 
 coming to Boston to participate in the 
 celebration of the centennial anniversary 
 
 of the Battle of Bunker Hill, June 17, 1875, 
 marched, and without any escort or an- 
 nouncement of their intention, placed 
 upon this monument a most elaborate 
 and beautiful floral shield, inscribed: 
 Maryland's 
 Tribute To 
 Massachusetts, 
 their band playing a dirge, while the 
 regiment stood around the monument, 
 forming three sides of a square. This 
 tribute was really the first demonstration 
 of Southern troops in honoring the mem- 
 ory of the Northern heroes of the Rebel- 
 lion, and the beautiful ceremony is still 
 warmly remembered and cherished by 
 the people of Boston, who honor the 
 soldiers of the Fifth Maryland Regiment 
 for so graceful and magnanimous an ex- 
 pression of good-will. No political dema- 
 gogues can destroy a friendship between 
 the people of the North and South that is 
 based upon such noble and generous im- 
 pulses as those from which sprang the 
 execution of the act here recorded. 
 
 Columbus Statue. (1849). Louis- 
 burg Square, between Mount Vernon and 
 Pinckney Streets. A statue of Christo- 
 pher Columbus, in Italian marble. Pre- 
 sented to the city by the late Joseph 
 Iasigi. 
 
 Borchester Soldiers' Monu- 
 ment. aS67). Mee ting-House Hill, 
 Dorchester District. A granite obelisk, 
 31 feet high, resting upon a ledge. Tab- 
 lets,, giving the names of the soldiers of 
 Dorchester who fell in the War of the 
 Rebellion, are upon its base. B. F. 
 Dwight was the architect. Rev. Chas. 
 A. Humphreys delivered the oration on 
 the occasion of its dedication, Sept. 17, 
 1867. \ \ 
 
 Emancipation Group. (1879). 
 In Park Square, Dec. 6, 1879, there was 
 unveiled a bronze group of statuary, rep- 
 resenting Abraham Lincoln standing 
 over a prostrate freedman with his 
 shackles broken. On the pedestal is in- 
 scribed 
 
 Emancipation. 
 
 On the base are the following words: 
 
 - A Race Set Free - 
 
 - And the Country at Peace - 
 
 - Lincoln - 
 
 - Rests from His labors - 
 
 The group, costing $17,000, was the gift 
 
 of Moses Kimball. Mayor F. O, Prince 
 
 delivered the dedicatory oration. 
 
 Ether Monument. (1868). The 
 
 monument erected in 1868 on the Public 
 Garden, near Arlington Street, was the 
 gift to the city of Thomas Lee. It is of 
 granite and red marble, and the two ideal 
 figures surmounting the shaft represent 
 the Good Samaritan and the sufferer. 
 The inscriptions are as follows; 
 
192

 " This Also Cometh Forth

 — Isaiah. 
 
 The celebrated sculptor, Truman H. 
 Bartlett, says of this statue : " It produces 
 an excellent effect as a whole." The 
 large number of visitors proves that the 
 work is interesting in itself, as well as for 
 the important discovery it commemo- 
 rates, the illustration of the parable ap- 
 pealing to the sentiment of all. 
 
 Everett Statue. (1867). Public 
 Garden, near Beacon Street. This statue, 
 in bronze, by William W. Story, was un- 
 veiled November, 1867. It has the merit 
 of bearing the closest resemblance to 
 Everett in features, although the pose 
 has been severely criticised. It is said 
 that the right arm was placed in an up- 
 right position at the wish of the com- 
 mittee having in charge the work of 
 having it designed, and against the desire 
 of the artist. Bartlett says of it: "It is 
 the only portrait-statue 'in Boston that 
 has a defined and un distracted intention 
 as the basis and structure of its com- 
 position." Wendell Phillips wrote of 
 this celebrated statue as follows: "And 
 so we come in our walk to Everett, in 
 trousers too large for him, and a frock- 
 coat which he has slightly outgrown. It 
 requires consummate genius to manage 
 the modern costume. But this figure 
 also seems toppling over backwards, as, 
 with more energy than Everett ever 
 showed in his lifetime, he exclaims, 
 ' That is the road to Brighton ! ' pointing 
 with lifted arm and wide-spread fingers 
 to that centre of beef and the races. 
 Story's friends say he never lifted that 
 
 weary arm, but yielded to a committee's 
 urging, as no true artist ever should do." 
 
 Flora Statue. (1865). An ideal 
 Statue of Flora, by Martin Milmore, in 
 granite, ornaments the facade of the' 
 Building of the Massachusetts Horticul- 
 tural Society, at the corner of Tremont 
 and Brornneld Streets.. 
 
 Franklin Statue. (1856). City 
 Hall Yard, School Street. This, the first 
 statue to be placed in the public squares 
 and parks of the city, was unveiled Sept. 
 17, 1856. Richard S. Greenough, the 
 famous Boston artist, was its designer. 
 Upon the sides of the pedestal are bas- 
 reliefs illustrating events in Franklin's 
 career. Bartlett considers the pose 
 " happy, human and effective." Wendell 
 Phillips, however, thought it represented 
 a "dilapidated roue!'" This statue 
 (whatever may be its artistic shortcom- 
 ings) owing to its proximity to one of 
 the most largely-travelled thoroughfares 
 in the city, is almost constantly an ob- 
 ject of great interest to numbers of per- 
 sons, arid it is seldom that it is not 
 surrounded by a score of strangers. 
 
 Garrison Statue. (1886). A bronze 
 Statue of William Lloyd Garrison, the 
 famous anti-slavery agitator of Boston, 
 was placed on the Commonwealth Avenue 
 Parkway, May 13, 1886, without any for- 
 mal services. It stands between Dart- 
 mouth and Exeter Streets, in front of the 
 Hotel Vendome. The statue is of colossal 
 size, and represents Garrison seated in 
 his chair, his head turned slightly to the 
 right, and uncovered. In his right hand 
 are some sheets of manuscript. The face 
 is a good likeness of the celebrated re- 
 former, the pose is easy, and the -work is 
 strong, simple and natural. It is the 
 largest piece of casting ever done in 
 America in one piece, the weight being 
 2600 pounds. The inscriptions are as fol- 
 lows: 
 
 William Lloyd Garrison. 
 1805 — 1879 
 
 I am in Earnest— I will not 
 
 Equivocate — I will not Excuse — 
 
 I will not Retreat a single Inch, 
 
 and I Will be Heard. 
 
 My Country is the World; 
 
 My Countrymen are 
 
 all Mankind. 
 
 Glover Statue. (1875). Standing 
 on the Commonwealth Avenue Parkway 
 is the celebrated John Glover statue, 
 which has attracted so much attention 
 from those interested in sculpture. It 
 is of bronze, and the artist, Martin Mil- 
 more, has here exhibited to the fullest 
 extent his disregard of old traditions and 
 ventured upon new ground in his strong 
 and heroic treatment. Gen. Glover com- 
 
HAM-MIL 
 
 193 
 
 manded a regiment formed in Essex 
 County during the Revolution. The 
 statue was the gift of Benjamin Tyler 
 Reed. Its pedestal bears the following 
 inscription : 
 
 John Glover, 
 
 Of Makblehead. 
 A Soldier of the Revolution. 
 
 He Commanded a Regiment 
 
 Of One Thousand Men 
 
 Raised in that Town, Known , 
 
 As the Marine Regiment, 
 
 And enlisted to serve 
 
 Through the War; 
 
 He Joined the Camp 
 
 At Cambridge, June 22, 1775. 
 
 And rendered distinguished 
 
 Service in Transporting 
 
 The Army from Brooklyn 
 
 To New York, Aug. 28, 1776. 
 
 And Across the Delaware, 
 
 Dec. 25, 1776. 
 
 He was appointed by 
 
 The Continental Congress 
 
 A Brigadier General 
 
 Feb. 21, 1777. 
 
 By his Courage, Energy, 
 
 Military Talent and 
 
 Patriotism He Secured 
 
 The Confidence of 
 
 Washington 
 
 And the Gratitude 
 
 Of His Country. 
 
 Born. Nov. 5, 1732. 
 
 Died, Jan. 30, 1797. 
 
 The statue was erected in 1875. 
 
 Hamilton Statue. (1865). The 
 first of the statues to he placed on Com- 
 monwealth Avenue Parkway was that of 
 Alexander Hamilton. It is said to have 
 heen the first statue to he made of gran- 
 ite. It was the work of William Rimmer. 
 The following are the inscriptions upon 
 the pedestal : 
 
 ALEXANDER HAMILTON, 
 
 Born in the Island of 
 
 Nevis, West Indies, 
 
 11 January 1757. 
 
 Died in New York 
 
 12 July 1804. 
 
 Orator, Writer, Soldier, 
 
 Jurist, Financier. 
 
 Although his Particular 
 
 Province was the Treasury, 
 
 His Genius Pervaded the 
 
 Whole Administration 
 
 of Washington. 
 
 The Hamilton statue was presented to 
 the city by Thomas Lee, and was placed 
 in its present position in 1865. It is much 
 visited by students of the late Dr. Rim- 
 mer, the sculptor, and by many who ad- 
 mire the treatment of the subject. 
 
 Harvard Monument. (1828). 
 
 Grateful graduates of Harvard Univer- 
 sity erected in the old graveyard in the 
 
 Charlestown District — near the State 
 Prison— a shaft of granite to the memory 
 of John Harvard, the founder of the 
 great University bearing his name. The 
 shaft is inscribed as follows: 
 
 On the Twenty-Sixth Day 
 
 September, A. D. 1828 
 
 This Stone was Erected 
 
 By the Graduates 
 
 of the 
 
 University at Cambridge 
 
 In Honor of 
 
 Its Founder, 
 
 Who died at Charlestown, 
 
 On the Twenty-Sixth Day 
 
 September, A. D. 1638. 
 
 Edward Everett delivered the oration 
 
 at the dedication of this monument. 
 
 Lincoln Bust. Doric Hall, State 
 House. A bust of the late President 
 Lincoln. 
 
 Lincoln Statue. (1879). Abraham 
 Lincoln. (See Emancipation Groity). 
 
 Lyman Fountain. (1885). Eaton 
 Square, Meeting-House Hill, Dorchester 
 District. This elegant fountain — the 
 largest and most imposing in or about 
 Boston — was erected in honor of Theodore 
 Lyman, Jr., Mayor of Boston 1834-5. 
 Designed and constructed by M. D. Jones. 
 It is 28 feet high. It is built ot bronzed 
 iron. At the base are four figures repre- 
 senting the seasons. A figure, of zinc, 
 illustrating Leda and the Swan, sur- 
 mounts the structure. The fountain cost 
 $7,000. Erected by means of a subscrip- 
 tion. Dedicated, with musical and ora- 
 torical exercises, Oct. 24, 1885. 
 
 Mann Statue. (1865). Terrace of 
 State House Grounds, Beacon Street. 
 This bronze statue of Horace Mann, the 
 most conspicuous figure in the develop- 
 ment of the general educational system 
 of Massachusetts, was the work of Emma 
 Stehbins, an American artist. The cost 
 of the statue was defrayed by a subscrip- 
 tion of the teachers and children of the 
 public schools of the State, Avho presented 
 it to the Commonwealth in 1865. The 
 dedication addresses were made by 
 Samuel G. Howe, John A. Andrew and 
 others. Criticism on this statue is at 
 variance. Truman Bartlett thinks " There 
 is a great deal of earnest thought and 
 work in the execution." Arthur Dexter 
 considers it " a mass of bad drapery." 
 It is. visited much by students of art from 
 various parts of the country, as are the 
 numerous other statues and monuments 
 of the city. 
 
 Military Memorial. Mount 
 Hope Cemetery. This is formed of heavy 
 ordnance, contributed by the United 
 States Government. On a stone base, of 
 triangular shape, are placed three can-

 nons, arranged as a pyramid, supporting 
 a fourth camion, while underneath is a 
 pyramid of cannon balls. Charles Rus- 
 sell Lowell Post 7, Grand Army of the 
 Republic, erected the Memorial. 
 
 Martineau (Harriet) Statue. 
 
 By Anne Whitney. This statue, placed 
 in the Old South Church some time since, 
 is now at Wellesley College. 
 
 Orpheus Statue. (1844). Museum 
 of Fine Arts. St. James av. An ideal 
 statue of great heauty. Through the 
 efforts of Charles Sumner a sum of money 
 was subscribed and sent to Thomas 
 Crawford, then a needy and struggling 
 American artist at Rome, with a commis- 
 sion for the Orpheus. It Was the first 
 encouraging hand held out to the young 
 artist, and he keenly appreciated it. The 
 Orpheus is one of the best works of any 
 American artist, and together with his 
 Beethoven, at Boston Music Hall, will 
 keep Crawford's memory green in the 
 hearts of his countrymen. The Orpheus 
 statue was purchased in 1844. 
 
 Otis Statue. Chapel, Mount Au- 
 burn, Cambridge. A statue of James 
 Otis, the patriot. 
 
 Pomona Statue. (1865). Upon 
 the Horticultural Society's Building, at 
 103 Treinont Street, corner of Bromtield 
 Street, is an ideal statue of Pomona, by 
 the late Martin Milmore, forming one 
 of a group of three, namely, Ceres, Flora 
 and Pomona. 
 
 Prescott Statue. (1881). On the 
 Bunker Hill Monument grounds, in the 
 Charlestown District, is a striking statue 
 of Colonel William Prescott, by W. W. 
 Story. It is erected on the spot where 
 the hero is supposed to have stood when 
 he spoke the memorable caution to his 
 men: " Don"t fire until you can see the 
 whites of their eves!" The statue was 
 erected June 17, 1881. Robert C. Win- 
 throp was the orator at the unveiling. 
 The front panel of the pedestal is in- 
 scribed: 
 
 Colonel 
 Willi a ji Prescott, , 
 June 17, 1775. 
 
 Quincy Statue. (1879). City Hall 
 Enclosure, School Street. By Thomas 
 Ball. A bronze statue of Josiah Quincy, 
 second Mayor of Boston (1823), and one 
 of the most progressive men the city has 
 ever possessed. It was owing to his en- 
 terprise that Quincy Market was estab- 
 lished, and many other-improvements had 
 their inception in his far-seeing mind. 
 Had all of his suggestions been carried 
 out, Boston would have been a far hand- 
 somer city even than it is to-day. It was 
 his wish to have laid out a wide avenue 
 
 from Roxbury Neck to Chelsea Ferry, 
 which would have been the Washington 
 Street, instead of the narrow, crooked 
 thoroughfare in which people, cars and 
 cabs to-day get almost hopelessly and 
 inextricably "blocked" at nearly every 
 hour of the day; and what is to be done 
 there in ten years from now in the way of 
 transit nobody will dare to predict, unless 
 the method of London is followed. 
 Quincy foresaw that Boston was to be- 
 come a great metropolis, and endeavored 
 to make others realize it, but he could not 
 break the shell of conservatism which 
 has always enclosed Boston, and which 
 still impedes its natural progress. This 
 fine statue portrays the able Mayor at his 
 best, and represents him at a time when 
 he said, in his inaugural address: "The 
 destinies of the City of Boston are of a 
 nature too plain to be denied or mis- 
 conceived. The prognostics of its future 
 greatness are written on the face of 
 Nature too legibly and too indelibly to be 
 mistaken. The indications are apparent 
 from the location of our city, fiom its 
 harbor, and its relative position among 
 rival towns and cities; above all from 
 the character of its inhabitants, and the 
 singular degree of enterprise and in- 
 telligence which are diffused through 
 every class of its citizens." 
 
 Roxbury Soldiers' Monu- 
 ment. (18G7). Forest Hills Cemetery. 
 A bronze statue; the work of Martin 
 Millmore. It was cast at Chicopee. 
 
 Soldiers' Monument. Mount 
 Hope Cemetery. Erected by the City of 
 Boston to commemerate the services of 
 her fallen heroes. 
 
 Sphinx. Mount Auburn, Cambridge. 
 One of the greatest works of one of Bos- 
 ton's famous sculptors, the late Martin 
 Milmore, and one that will, of itself, long 
 perpetuate his name, is the widely-cele- 
 brated Sphinx, placed in Mount Auburn. 
 Directly in front of the Chapel, it stands 
 as a permanent memorial of the War of 
 the Rebellion. A writer has said: " It is 
 an Egyptian symbol of might and intel- 
 ligence combined; but, in its human 
 features, modern or American, not brood- 
 ing on Death, but looking forward to the 
 larger life." Its inscription is: 
 
 American Union Preserved: 
 
 African Slavery Destroyed 
 
 By the Uprising of 
 
 A Great People; 
 
 By the Blood of 
 
 Fallen Heroes.

 Auburn, Cambridge. A marble statue of

 Washington Statue. (1828). 
 Doric Hall, State House, Beacon Street. 
 By Ckantrey. This is one of the best 
 statues to be seen in Boston. There is a 
 dignity, strength and repose blended in 
 its composition that fully satisfies the 
 artistic sense. The work" was obtained 
 through the efforts of the Washington 
 Monument Association, who placed it 
 here. 
 
 Webster Statue. (1859). Terrace 
 of State House Grounds, Beacon Street. 
 This statue, of bronze, heroic size, was 
 the work of Hiram Powers, the features 
 having been modelled from life by the 
 artist. Edward Everett, who delivered 
 the oration at the unveiling of this statue, 
 said: "His imperial gaze is directed, 
 with the hopes of the country, to the 
 boundless West." The work cost $10,000. 
 It was dedicated Sept. 17, 1859. What- 
 ever may be its blemishes, it has, at least, 
 the merit of excellence as a portrait. 
 Truman Bartlett, in his "Civic Monu- 
 ments," says of this work: "It is an 
 illustrative statue in its fullest and nearly 
 its flattest sense. It is as near a work of 
 art as bronze can make it." Wendell Phil- 
 lips said of it, in his vigorous style : " Then , 
 Webster, that mass of ugly iron at the 
 State House ! which cheers us as we 
 climb those endless steps, robbing the 
 effort of half its weariness by resting us 
 with a laugh; of which a journal said, 
 with undue"frankness, that Everett, well 
 knowing how hideous it was, let it be 
 raised to revenge himself on the man 
 who overshadowed and eclipsed him ! 
 But they have supplied him with a foil, 
 which half redeems its shapelessness. It 
 is Horace Mann, waked up so suddenly 
 that in his hurry he has brought half his 
 bed-clothes clingingto his legs and arms." 
 It is easy to ridicule, and the greater the 
 work, the more strong and original the 
 thought, the more easily may a critic who 
 has no practical knowledge of the art, 
 call the attention of the public to what 
 seems absurd, but what is often an 
 attempt on the part of the artist to get 
 out of the beaten track.

 LIBRARIES AND READING ROOSViS. 
 
 No City in America compares -with 
 Boston in tne number, extent and value 
 of its public and private libraries. Upon 
 meeting frequently in Boston a gentle- 
 man of literary taste, a resident of New 
 York, we asked him why he came to 
 Boston so often. His reply was: " Bos- 
 ton's great libraries bring me here. I 
 cannot find the works I desire to con- 
 sult in any other libraries in the United 
 States. The people of Boston cannot 
 fully realize what a grand treasure-house 
 of literature they possess in the Public 
 Library, and the great Free Library of 
 Harvard University has a completeness 
 and system that is amazing to a New 
 Yorker, accustomed to meagre facilities 
 in this direction. I can now easily com- 
 prehend wiry the people of Boston and 
 vicinity are endowed with a more gen- 
 eral air of culture than other communi- 
 ties, and the reason is obvious why Bos- 
 ton has become the seat of so many great 
 educational institutions. Colleges and 
 libraries are usually to be found in jux- 
 taposition, and in both of these educa- 
 tors Boston is immeasurably in advance 
 of the rest of the United States." 
 
 Boston Public Library. (Free). 
 (1854). 46 Boylston Street, near Tremont 
 Street. This is the largest free-circula- 
 tion Library in the country. It contains 
 over a million books and pamphlets, the 
 bound volumes alone numbering nearly 
 half a million, or in actual figures, 475,- 
 000. But it is not merely for its size that 
 it is remarkable; its value lies in the 
 character of its books, their variety and 
 completeness upon subjects of interest 
 to thinkers and educators, their rarity 
 and usefulness. It is very easy to ac- 
 cumulate bookstand especially cheap vol- 
 umes of American manufacture, but to 
 carefully select a library of works, in all 
 languages, with-as much taste, knowledge 
 and caution as one would get together in a 
 private collection for a scholar's use is a 
 more difficult task. The latter, however, 
 is what has been done in the case of the 
 Boston Public Library, and it has been 
 well done. In fact, the nucleus of this 
 great collection was actually the com- 
 bined private libraries of eminent schol- 
 ars, while the large and valuable libraries 
 of Nathaniel Bowditch, Theodore Parker 
 (11,061 volumes, mostly rare works), Geo. 
 Ticknor (a famous collection of Spanish 
 and Portugese works gathered at great 
 expense and labor during the lifetime of 
 the historian, together with other vol- 
 umes, making about 8,030 in all), Thomas 
 Prince (rich in rare New England His- 
 tories), Thomas P. Barton (comprising 
 
 the largest and most complete collection 
 of Shakspearian literature, 12,000 vol- 
 umes), and numerous others. Donations 
 in money and bequests have been ex- 
 tremely lar2,e. Joshua Bates gave $ 50,- 
 000 in cash (and if 50,000 worth of books); 
 Jonathan Phillips, $30,000; Abbott Law- 
 rence, $10,000, and others have been gen- 
 erous in their gifts. The library, in 1854, 
 was opened in Mason Street. In 1858 it 
 was removed to its present building, 
 which cost to construct nearly $400,000. 
 On the lower floor are a distributing 
 room, the lower library-room, two free 
 reading-rooms and an art gallery; on the 
 second floor is the large and elegant 
 room devoted mainly to the reference 
 library, named Bates Hall, in compliment 
 to Joshua Bates, one of its most liberal 
 donors. In the reading-room on the 
 lower floor one may consult almost any 
 magazine or periodical published abroad 
 or at home. Books in Bates Hall may be 
 read within the building by any one, 
 while for the privilege of taking vol- 
 umes home it is simply necessary for any 
 resident of Boston above the age of 16 
 to subscribe to certain reasonable rules. 
 The Library is open to all. 
 
 Central Library. The Central 
 Library is open every week day (except 
 holidays) from 9 to 9. Bates Hall Refer- 
 ence Library is open, October to April, 
 from 9 to 6 o'clock; April to September, 
 9 to 7 o'clock, on week-days. The read- 
 ing-room is open every day in the year 
 including Sundays, excepting on legal 
 holidays, till 10 p. m. There are fourteen 
 branches and deliveries of the Public 
 Library, the names and locations of 
 which are appended.

 The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 
 in 1880, presented the City of Boston with 
 a large plot of land on the corner of 
 Dartmouth and Boylston Streets, front- 
 ing Copley Square, upon which to erect 
 a Public Library Building, and it is in- 
 tended to make the new structure a 
 magnificent, spacious and fire-proof re- 
 
 Eository. It is probable that the present 
 uilding at 46 Boylston Street will be re- 
 tained as a Central Distributing Library, 
 as at present, while the Bates Hall collec- 
 tion will be removed to the new quarters, 
 where a Back Bay distributing station 
 will be established. 
 
 Harvard University Free 
 Library. (1638). Cambridge. Next 
 in extent, value and importance to the 
 Public Library is the great Library of 
 Harvard University, which, in some de- 
 partments is unrivalled. It would be 
 strange indeed if an educational institu- 
 tion founded in 1638 — eight years after 
 the settlement of Boston — and the only 
 really great University of the land, had 
 not accumulated a Library of immense 
 size and value. The following are the 
 libraries of the University, the number 
 of bound volumes being given : 
 
 Gore Hall. 232,800 volumes 
 
 Lawrence Scientific Sch'l 2,500 " 
 
 Bussey Institute 2,700 "

 Total number of bound 
 
 volumes 304,800 
 
 Pamphlets 325,000 
 
 629,800 
 
 The Harvard University Library may 
 be consulted by all persons, freely, 
 whether connected with the University 
 or not. The privilege of borrowing books 
 is also granted, under special regulations, 
 to persons not connected with the Uni- 
 versity.

 Library, although" provided for the use 
 of the State officials and members of the 
 Legislature, is open for reference to any 
 proper person, every week-day. It con- 
 tains upwards of 60,000 volumes, which 
 have been collected with great care and 
 j udgment. Here may be found the statutes'

 British Parliament; French Parliamen- 
 tary Archives; works on Social Science, 
 Political Economy, etc. This was the

 The first circulating library established 
 in Boston was that of John Mein, a 
 Scotchman, in 1764. His collection com- 
 prised 1,200 volumes. 
 
 Among the libraries absorbed by the 
 Boston Public Library, where the latter 
 has assumed the functions of the local 
 libraries thus disestablished, have been 
 the Mercantile Library Association Li- 
 brary, at the South End; the Sumner 
 Library, East Boston; Mattapan Library, 
 South Boston; Fellowes Athenaeum Li- 
 brary, Roxbury; Charlestown Public 
 Library, Holton Library, Brighton; the

 Boston Public Library's 
 
 Opening. The trustees of the Boston 
 Public Library opened its first reading- 
 room in the building on Mason Street, 
 March 20, 1854. The Library was first 
 opened May 2, 1854. The corner-stone of 
 of the building at 46 Boylston Street was 
 laid Sept. 17, 1855, and the Library was 
 dedicated Jan. 1, 1858. 
 
 Harvard University's Li- 
 brary was begun in 1638 with a collec- 
 tion, a bequest of three hundred and 
 twenty volumes, from John Harvard. 
 
 Mather Library. At the time of 
 the Battle of Bunker Hill, the collection 
 of books which had been accumulated by 
 Increase Mather and Cotton Mather was 
 destroyed. There were about 8,000 vol- 
 umes. Of this event John Adams wrote, 
 July 7, 1775: " The loss of Mr. Mather's 
 library, which was a collection of books 
 and manuscripts made by himself, his 
 father, his grandfather and great grand- 
 father, and was really very curious and 
 valuable, is irreparable."

 REAL BOSTON, 
 
 The Actual Boston of to-day is 
 
 by no means to be measured by the pop- 
 ulation crowded within the circumscribed 
 area of the city limits. Thousands upon 
 thousands of people transacting busi- 
 ness in Boston — or closely identified 
 with its vast real-estate, railway, com- 
 mercial, hotel, club, theatrical, banking, 
 school, stock, telegraph, library, musi- 
 cal, literary, artistic, social and multi- 
 tudinous other interests — reside, or, at 
 least, pass the night, in the numerous 
 cities, towns and villages within a radiu8 
 of twenty-five miles from the heart of 
 the city. All of these great suburbs are 
 within easy access by steam-railways, 
 street-cars, etc.,' and —as rapid transit 
 is now one of the foremost issues of the 
 day in Boston — the time required for 
 reaching these environs (which is even 
 now quite brief) will be lessened more or 
 less year by year. In order to substanti- 
 ate the claims of Boston to a really very 
 large population, as far as all practical 
 identification of interests and other con- 
 ditions are concerned, — of over a mil- 
 lion of people (and of half a million 
 within her borders and in her immediate 
 suburbs) the following list of cities and 
 towns within this radius, with their pop- 
 ulation, is given, in order that one may 
 judge correctly of the great importance 
 of the metropolis of New England as a 
 commercial, business, railway, steam- 
 ship, hotel and theatrical centre:

 BOARDING HOUSES. 
 
 For the convenience of those at a 
 distance who contemplate coming to Bos- 
 ton for a visit, or to reside during a 
 course of study at any of the various 
 Colleges, Conservatories or Schools of the 
 city, the following revised list of board- 
 ing-houses has been prepared for this 
 work. One can live economically, or 
 expensively, as may suit the taste or 
 pocket of the visitor. Prices range ac- 
 cording to location, size and number of 
 rooms required, etc., and one can obtain 
 board in respectable neighborhoods at 
 from $6 to §15 per week, according to 
 accommodations. One can, of course, 
 find cheaper or dearer rates, but would 
 hardly expect satisfactory table and 
 rooms at less than §6. It would be well 
 for our readers who propose making a 
 stay in Boston to address a letter to sev- 
 eral of the parties here named, a week or 
 two before coming, asking for particulars 
 as to prices and rooms (mentioning this 
 book)":

 MARKETS. 
 
 Boston has long been renowned for 
 the number, size and variety of its 
 markets. The first market is said to have 
 stood on ground now occupied by the Old 
 State House, at the corner of Washing- 
 ton and Court Streets. It was opened 
 there March, 1634. 
 
 Quincy Market. (1826). Between 
 North and South Market Streets, facing 
 Faneuil Hall, is the famous Quincy Mar- 
 ket, so called in honor of Mayor Josiah 
 Quincy, (1823-28), through whose com- 
 mendable enterprise the great movement 
 was inaugurated and successfully com- 
 pleted. The corner-stone was laid in 1825, 
 and in 1826 was opened the present com- 
 modious market, which is justly regarded 
 by strangers as one of the principal 
 " sights " of the city. Early on Saturday 
 morning, or on Saturday at any time, one 
 may witness scenes bustling with activ- 
 ty, amid vast quantities of food which 
 is being distributed in every direction 
 throughout the great city. Quincy Mar- 
 ket covers 27,000 feet of land. The length 
 
 of the building, which is two stories in 
 height, is 535 feet. A wide corridor, run- 
 ning the entire length of the building, is 
 bordered by stalls, in which the most 
 tempting display of meats, vegetables, 
 fish, fruit, etc., is made. 
 
 Other Markets. The other Mar- 
 kets of the city, several of which are 
 large, and all being more or less attrac- 
 tive, are the following: 
 Blackstone Market. . . 72-92 Blackstone st. 
 
 Boylston Market 649 Washington st. 
 
 Central Market 50 North St.

 CUSTOM-HOUSE. 
 
 United States Custom House. 
 
 This public building is at the corner of 
 State and India Streets, at the foot of the 
 former street. The building is in the 
 form of a Greek cross. The construction 
 was begun in 1837 and finished in 1847. 
 It is of granite, and is one of the most 
 substantial and imposing public build- 
 
 ings in the country. It cost the govern- 
 ment $1,000,000. There are 32 Doric 
 columns, weighing 42 tons each. The 
 building is 140 feet in length, and varies 
 in width from 75 feet at the ends to 95 
 feet in the centre. The first Custom 
 House was located near Congress Street. 
 
 FREE BATHS. 
 
 Boston led the way in promoting the 
 sanitary condition of the people or the 
 
 {rreat cities, being the first city to estab- 
 ish free baths for the public. The ex- 
 periment of placing a few of these houses 
 at easily accessible locations worked so 
 well that the great system was soon com- 
 pleted and in good working order. The 
 baths are open early, from June 1 to Sep- 
 tember 30, for males, on week-days from 
 5 a. m. to 9 p. m. ; and on Sundays from 
 5 a. m. to 9. a. m.; for females, on week- 
 days from 6 a. m. to 8 p. m.; and en Sun- 
 days from 6 a. m. to 9 a. m. Boys and 
 girls under fifteen years of age are not 
 admitted to the bathing-houses after 
 7 p.m., the decision of the Superintendent 
 against admission being final. All the 
 houses are closed at 10 p. m. on week-days 
 and at 9.30 a. m. on Sundays. The float- 
 ing swimming-baths are located as fol- 
 lows:

 the first president of the Club, said, at 
 its inauguration, Oct. 15, 1863: "As I con- 
 templated the views from this house the 
 other day, gazing, under the dreamy light 
 of an Indian Summer, on the waters in 
 the centre of the Common, sparkling- 
 through the tinted maples and elms; the 
 line of surrounding hills, Brighton, Brook- 
 line, Roxbury and Dorchester; the islands 
 
 that gem the harbor; the city, stretched 
 like a panorama around and beneath, — I 
 thought my eye had never rested on a 
 more delightful prospect." This Club

 erick Amory, John F. Andrew, Wm.

 tions. Discipline, promptness of attack, 
 and rare effects of light and shade are 
 the striking characteristics of this body

 from the exalted reputation of Mr. Osgood 
 as a conductor, teacher and soloist. "The 
 concei'ts of this Club are given at Music 
 Hall. No tickets are sold, and admission

 Higginson, president. This is an asso 
 ciation of ladies and gentlemen for the 
 purpose of making mountain excursions 
 after the manner of the Alpine clubs o i 
 Europe. All interested may here find a 
 binary, maps and various other matter 
 bearing on the subject. The rooms of the 
 club are open f Jin 2.30 to 5 o'clock every 
 afternoon. 
 
 Boston Base Ball Club. (4871). 
 
 Grounds at South End, near Tremont 
 Street. The game of Base Ball is no- 
 
 where more popular than in Boston, 
 where the excitement over a match often 
 reaches an exceedingly high point. Bos- 
 ton is the only city that has sustained a 
 professional team since the establish- 
 ment of a professional association inlS"!. 
 In that year the Athletics of Philadelphia 
 held the championship. In 1872, how- 
 ever, the Bostons captured the pennant 
 and held it in 1873, 1874, 1875 (losing it in 
 1876 to the Chicagos), and again were 
 champions in 1877 and 1878. In 1883 they 
 again held it. The Bostons have there- 
 fore retained the championship for seven 
 years out of the fifteen. The Chicagos 
 rank next, having been champions for 
 
BOS-SOU 
 
 221 
 
 five years. The Providence (R. I.) club 
 were champions in 1879, 1884. The best 
 record ever made in one season was that 
 of the Bostons in 1875, when they won 71 
 games and lost 8 only. Following- is the 
 championship record: 
 
 1871 Athletics, Philadelphia 
 
 1872, 1873, 1874, 1875 Bostons 
 
 1876 Chicagos 
 
 1877, 1S78 .Bostons 
 
 1879 Providences, Providence, R. I. 
 
 1880, 1881, 1882 Chicagos 
 
 1883 Bostons 
 
 1884 Providences 
 
 1885 Chicagos 
 
 It will thus be seen that the champion- 
 ship has remained in the hands of four 
 clubs for fifteen years.

 SUBURBAN EXCURSIONS. 
 
 Andover 20 miles from Boston. 
 Boston & Maine Railway. A charming 
 old town, often called Andover-011-the- 
 Hill, is noted as the seat of three well- 
 known institutions of learning, the An- 
 dover Theological Seminary, Phillips 
 Academy and Abbott Academy. Andover 
 is beautifully and healthfully situated, 
 on a high and dry location, and the views 
 in every direction are picturesque. The 
 Mansion House is a favorite old, com- 
 fortable hotel, largely patronized by 
 Bostonians in the summer. Trains run 
 at almost every hour in the day from 
 Boston, making the town very accessible 
 to merchants who wish to get out of the 
 city during any day or night of the 
 heated term. 
 
 Beverly. 18 miles, on the Eastern 
 Railway. A busy shoe-manufacturing 
 town. Along the shore are many summer 
 residences of Boston's wealthy men. 
 
 Brookline. 3 miles. Adjoins the 
 city limits. Easily accessible by steam- 
 trains on the Boston and Albany Rail- 
 way, or by lines of street-cars on Hun- 
 tington Avenue or Tremont Street. One 
 of the most beautiful suburbs. Its resi- 
 dents are mostly families of wealth, 
 whose mansions are substantial and 
 elegant and are surrounded by well-kept 
 lawns, flower beds, etc. The territory 
 greatly resembles certain out-lying dis- 
 tricts near London. The streets, side- 
 walks, and all that relate to the comfort 
 and convenience of the inhabitants are 
 in the most perfect condition. For driv- 
 ing, 'cycling or walking there is no more 
 beautiful or picturesque locality in the 
 country. The better direction for pedes- 
 trians/'cyclists and drivers of carriages 
 is out over Beacon Street and the Mill- 
 dam, through Longwood, another charm- 
 ing suburb. Street-cars may be taken on 
 Tremont Street, at the head of Bromfield 
 Street, furnishing in the summer, when 
 open cars are run, one of the most attrac- 
 tive excursions possible for the trifling 
 expenditure of ten cents for the round 
 trip. 
 
 Chelsea. 4 miles. Here is a flour- 
 ishing city. Reached by ferry from foot 
 of Hanover Street, by ferry from Atlan- 
 tic Avenue (Boston & Revere Beach 
 Railway), by street-cars of the Lynn and 
 Boston horse-raihvav, or bv street-cars 
 via East Boston ferry. The famous Lowe 
 Tile-Works and the celebrated Chelsea 
 Potteries are here. On Powderhorn Hill 
 is the SoMiers' Home. The United States 
 Naval Hospital is also located here. An 
 elegant theatre, the Academy of Music, 
 is successfully conducted by Manager 
 J. B. Field. The Soldiers' Monument is 
 well worthy of a visit. 
 
 Chestnut Hill Reservoir and 
 
 Park. One of the most beautiful 
 drives, walks or bicycle routes out of 
 Boston is the avenue (Beacon Street) 
 from the Milldam to Chestnut Hill. 
 Park, where the great Reservoir of 
 the city is located. The distance is about 
 five miles, and the entire length is bor- 
 dered by grand old country mansions 
 surrounded by fine old trees and lawns, 
 amid hills and dales. This whole 
 picturesque district more closely resem- 
 bles an English landscape than any 
 section of country to be found in America. 
 Many Queen Anne cottages peep through 
 the foliage, the closely-shaven lawns, and 
 beds of beautiful flowers, the well-kept 
 roads, etc., combine to complete the great 
 natural resemblance to "the green lanes 
 of England." Foreigners are sure to note 
 the similarity, and with surprise, espe- 
 cially when they catch a glimpse of " the 
 winding Charles," which they liken to 
 England's beautiful Thames. The road 
 to Chestnut Hill is the most fashionable 
 drive in New England, the horses and 
 carriages to be found there on any 
 pleasant afternoon indicating by their 
 numbers and expensiveness the great 
 wealth of their owners, the merchant 
 princes of Boston. Equestrians are also 
 to be seen here somewhat numerously, 
 although many of them make detours by 
 way of bridle-paths and lanes leading 
 from the main road. The grounds about 
 the Reservoir are laid out as a park, and 
 in summer are very attractive. The 
 Reservoir is one of the "sights" of the 
 suburbs. It has an area of 125 acres, has 
 a capacity of about 800,000,000 gallons, and 
 is two and a half miles in circumference. 
 (This is one of the most popular bicycle 
 routes.) 
 
 Concord. 19 miles from Boston. 
 Fitchburg Railway. Also, Boston & 
 Lowell Railway. Tourists cannot fail to 
 find most attractive objects of historical 
 and literary interest in this picturesque 
 old town. Here lived Nathaniel Haw- 
 thorne (in a hcnse now standing about a 
 mile from the Common); Thorean and 
 Emerson. Here is the summer home of 
 Louise Alcott, in the house once occu- 
 pied by Thoreau. On the shore of Lake 
 Walden, one of the most beautiful sheets 
 of water in New England, is a pile of 
 stones marking the spot where was 
 located the lint in which Thoreau lived 
 for some time. The Summer School of 
 Philosophy attracts many persons from 
 various sections of the United States and 
 Canada to Concord. This school is held 
 in a chapel, which is particularly well 
 adapted for the purpose. Near the Old 
 Manse is "the rude bridge that arched the 
 flood," the Concord monument, and the 
 
224 
 
 DAN— LEX 
 
 graves of the British soldiers who fell in 
 the memorable battle of April 19, 1775. 
 In the Unitarian Church building, near 
 the Wright Tavern, the first Provincial 
 Congress was held. The Concord Library, 
 at the junction of Sudbury and Main 
 Streets, is a valuable collection of books. 
 The Davis Museum of relics is in the 01 d 
 Court House. Thoreau, in his " Walden," 
 describes the lake as follows: "It is so 
 remarkable for its depth and purity as to 
 merit a particular description. It is a 
 clear and deep green well, half a mile 
 long and a mile and three-quarters in 
 circumference; it contains about sixty- 
 one and a half acres; a perennial spring 
 in the midst of pine and oak woods with- 
 out any visible inlet or outlet, except by 
 the clouds and evaporation. The sur- 
 rounding hills rise abruptly from the 
 water to the height of forty to eighty 
 feet, being exclusively woodland. The 
 water is so transparent that the bottom 
 can easily be discerned at the depth of 
 twenty-five or thirty feet." At the com- 
 pletion of the Concord Monument, April 
 19th, 1836, a hymn written by Emerson, 
 entitled " Concord Fight," was sung. 
 The following is the first stanza: 
 
 "By the rude bridge that arched the flood 
 Their flag to April's breeze unfurled, 
 
 Here once the embattled farmers stood 
 And fired the shot heard round the 
 world." 
 
 Hawthorne wrote in his note-book: " The 
 scenery of Concord, as I beheld it from 
 the summit of the hill, has no very mark- 
 ed characteristics, but has a good deal of 
 quiet beauty in keeping with the river. 
 There are broad and peaceful meadows, 
 which I think are among the most satis- 
 fying objects in natural scenery. The 
 heart reposes on them with a feeling that 
 few things else can give, because almost 
 all other objects are abrupt and clearly 
 defined; but a meadow stretches out like 
 a small infinity, yet with a secure homeli- 
 ness, which we do not find either in an 
 expanse of water or air. The hills which 
 border these meadows are wide swells of 
 land, or long and gradual ridges, some of 
 them densely covered with wood." Em- 
 erson wrote : 
 
 " Because I was content with these poor 
 fields, 
 
 Low, open meads, slender and sluggish 
 streams, 
 
 And found a home in haunts which others 
 scorned, 
 
 The partial Avoodgods overpaid my love 
 
 And granted me the freedom of their 
 state. 
 * * # # # 
 
 And through my rocklike, solitary wont 
 
 Shot million rays of thought and tender- 
 ness." 
 
 Danvers. (Salem Village of 1692.) 
 20 miles from Boston, on Boston & M aine 
 Railway. This was the scene of the no- 
 torious witchcraft delusion, which exhib- 
 ited the ignorance and superstition of the 
 people of that place and period. Danvers 
 is a pleasant town. Here is the Peabody 
 Library, which, like the Peabody Institute 
 at Peabody— once a portion of Danveis— 
 was established through the munificence 
 of George Peabody, the London banker, 
 who was born in Peabody (South Danvers). 
 In Danvers is still standing the house in 
 which Gen. Israel Putnam, " Old Put." 
 was born. 
 
 Ipswich. 26 miles from Boston, on 
 the Eastern Division of the Boston and 
 Maine Railway, is one of the most beau- 
 tifully located towns in New England. Its 
 great, productive farms, its old man- 
 sions, and its general thrift tempt many 
 a Boston merchant prince to seek a 
 summer home within its beautiful and 
 recreative domain. 
 
 Jamaica Plain. One of the out- 
 
 lying Districts of Boston (West Roxbury) 
 33 miles from State Street, on the Boston 
 & Providence Railway. It was named in 
 honor of Cromwell's conquest of the 
 island of Jamaica from Spain. It was 
 originally known as Pond Plain, from the 
 famous beautiful pond within its limits, 
 covering 70 acres and having a depth in 
 places of from 60 to 70 feet. It is one of 
 the most attractive sections of the city, 
 having broad avenues lined with fine old 
 trees, and has been a favorite location 
 for summer residences since the days of 
 Hancock, Bowdoin and other Governors 
 and distinguished men who formerly re- 
 sided here amid great pomp and ceremony. 
 (John Hancock used to ride from his 
 country-seat here to his town mansion, 
 his equipage being princely, and pre- 
 ceded and followed by a body-guard 
 of mounted soldiers fifty in number, 
 with drawn sabres, as an illustration 
 of republican simplicity, probably !) In 
 this District are located the famous Bus- 
 sey Institute and Arnold Arboretum, (see 
 Colleges and Schools); the Adams Nervine 
 Asylum; the West Roxbury Soldiers' 
 Monument (dedicated Sept. 14, 1871); the 
 Allandale Springs, a place of resort of 
 great and rapidly-growing popularity; 
 Curtis Hall; and various other objects of 
 interest. (In the summer open cars are 
 run on the street-railway to Jamaica 
 Plain, starting from the head of Brom- 
 fieldst., forming a very pleasant means 
 of communication, and, during a portion 
 of the route, passing many fine estates, 
 with grand mansions, well-kept lawns, 
 etc. The roads will be found good for 
 bicycle-riding). 
 
 In the principal cemetery of the town are Lexington. 11 miles from Boston, 
 the graves of Emerson, Thoreau and Boston & Lowell Railway. (Bicyclists 
 Hawthorne. will find the route by way of the Mill 
 
LYN-MAN 
 
 225 
 
 dam, Brighton Avenue, Harvard Square, 
 Porter Station, Arlington, a good one). 
 The poet Whittier thus sings of the Lex- 
 ingtun of olden days: (1775). 
 
 " No Berserk thirst of blood had they, 
 No battle-joy was theirs, who set 
 Against the alien bayonet 
 
 Their lmmespun breasts in that old day. 
 
 Their feet had trodden peaceful ways; 
 They loved not strife, they dreaded pain, 
 They saw not — what to us is plain — 
 That God would make man's wrath his 
 praise. 
 
 # # # * # 
 
 Swift as their summons came they left 
 The plow mid-furrow standing still, 
 The half-ground corn grist in the mill, 
 
 The spade in earth, the axe in cleft. 
 
 ***** 
 
 Of man for man the sacrifice, 
 All that was theirs to give they gave. 
 The flowers that blossomed from their 
 grave 
 
 Have sown themselves beneath all skies." 
 
 Xjyxm. 12 miles, on the Eastern divis- 
 ion of the Boston & Maine Railway. A 
 great shoe-manufacturing centre. One 
 of the most thriving cities in Massachu- 
 setts. It has many points of interest to 
 strangers, among them its Beaches, Dun- 
 geon Rnck (or Pirates' Cave), High Rock, 
 etc. Here was formerly the abode of 
 Moll Pitcher,the celebrated fortune-teller, 
 whose habitation was near the base of 
 High Rock. About sixty years ago she 
 attracted many people from far and near 
 — largely sea-going persons — who de- 
 sired her aid in looking into futurity. 
 Her full name was Mary Dimond Pitcher. 
 She died in 1813, aged 75 years. She has 
 been described as having been connected 
 with some of the best families of Essex 
 County, and has respected descendants 
 now living in the vicinity of Boston. In 
 1832, John Greenleaf Whittier wrote a 
 poem relating to her, from which we 
 make the following excerpt : 
 
 " She stood upon a bare, tall crag 
 
 Which overlooked her rugged cot, — 
 A wasted, gray and meagre hag, 
 
 In features evil as her lot. 
 She had the crooked nose of a witch, 
 
 And a crooked back and chin, 
 And in her gait she had a hitch, 
 And in her hand she carried a switch 
 
 To aid her work of sin." 
 
 High rock is the name given to an eleva- 
 tion which commands a fine view of the 
 city and surrounding country, as well as 
 of the sea. From Elizabeth F. Merrill's 
 poem, " Hi£h Rock," we transcribe the 
 following lines : 
 
 " When the tide comes in on a sunny day 
 You can see the waves beat back in spray 
 From the splintered spurs of Phillips 
 
 Or tripping along with dainty tread, 
 
 As of a million dancing feet 
 
 Shake out the light in a quick retreat 
 
 Or along the smooth curve of the beach 
 
 Snowy and curling, in long lines reach 
 
 An islet, anchored and heid to land 
 
 By a glistening, foam-iringed ribbon of 
 
 sand; 
 That is ISahant, and that hoary ledge 
 To the left is Egg Rock, like a biunted 
 
 wedge 
 Cleaving the restless ocean's breast, 
 And bearing the lighthouse on its crest." 
 
 Dungeon Rock is noted as having been 
 the retreat of pirates in days gene by. 
 There is a tradition that Captain Kidd 
 buried some of his treasure here. The 
 huge rock is in a wild and picturesquely 
 beautiful legion, although a good car- 
 riage-road has been constructed to it 
 from the city lying below. For many 
 years, under " spiritual" guidance, exca- 
 vations were continuously, slowly and 
 laboriously made in expectation of dis- 
 coveiing buried treasure, by Mr. Marble 
 and his son, both of whom passed away 
 without realizing their hopes. Descent 
 into the dark, winding stairway, cut 
 from the solid rock, may be made I y the 
 visitor upon payment of a small fee. 
 Since the death' of the zealous and in- 
 dustrious men who doubtless sacrificed 
 their lives in toiling in the damp, un- 
 wholesome cavern, work upon the exca- 
 vation has been entirely suspended. 
 
 Maiden is a thriving and very 
 pretty suburb, 5 miles out, on the Boston 
 & Maine Bailway. Here is the studio and 
 home of the famous American artist, 
 George Loring Brown, whose paintings 
 embellish so many elegant residences. 
 There is a very old burial-ground here, 
 known as the Sandy Creek or Bell Rock 
 Cemetery, and was used for purposes of 
 intei ment as early as 1650. The following 
 is copied from the oldest stone : 
 
 Alice Brackenbury, 
 
 Wife of Wm. B. Brackenbury. 
 
 Aged 70 years. 
 
 Died December 28, 1670. 
 
 Here also was buried Rev. Michael 
 Wigglesworth, noted as the author of 
 " The Day of Doom," a poem. 
 
 Manchester - by - the - Sea. 24 
 
 miles from Boston. Eastern Railway. 
 This is one of the most picturesque and 
 romantic spots along the entire New Eng- 
 land Coast. The roads are excellent, and 
 one can find eveiy description of drives. 
 There are roads through the open coun- 
 try, along hillsides, through the woods or 
 by the sea. Here is the famed singing 
 beach. Manchester has for many years 
 been the summer home of a noted colony 
 of theatrical people, among them Mrs. 
 Agnes Booth (Schoeffel), Mrs. D. P. Bow- 
 ers, John Gilbert, Joseph Proctor, John 
 B. Schoeffel, and others. Here is located 
 the celebrated Masconomo House, a fav- 
 
226 
 
 MAR-QUI 
 
 orite resort of Bostonians, New Yorkers, 
 Pliiladelphians, and others from the south 
 and west, during the summer months, the 
 cool, clear air of this region being ex- 
 tremely beneficial to those exhausted by 
 over-work or illness. Rev. Dr. Eartol, the 
 eminent Boston clergyman, has done 
 mueh toward developing the resources 
 of this beautiful town. It was called 
 Manchester-by-the-Sea in order to distin- 
 guish it from Manchester, N. H. 
 
 Marblehead. 17 miles. (Eastern 
 Railway to Salem, then Marblehead 
 Branch.) This is the quaintest old seaport 
 town imaginable. When the celebrated 
 Whitefield visited Marblehead and saw 
 scarcely anything but bare rocks,he asked 
 in amazement, " Where do they bury their 
 dead?" Here is yet standing the old 
 Bank Building, built in 1768, and there 
 are a number of other curious old ante- 
 Revolutionary houses. Old Fort Sewall 
 is an interesting feature of the locality. 
 
 Milton. 6 miles. This is one of Bos- 
 ton's most beautiful suburbs. It is easily 
 reached by way of the Old Colony Rail- 
 way (trains running both ways sixteen 
 times daily), or by street cars from the 
 head of Franklin street, corner of Wash- 
 ington street. The roads are good for 
 bicycles. (Milton was a portion of Suf- 
 folk County, previous to 1793). Here is 
 standing what is known as the Suffolk 
 Resolves Mansion, an inscription on a 
 tablet on the front of the building read- 
 ing in part as follows : 
 
 In this Mansion, on the ninth day 
 of September, 1774, at a meeting of 
 the delegates of every town 
 and District in the County 
 of Suffolk, the Suffolk 
 Resolves were adopt- 
 ed. They were 
 reported by major 
 General Warren who fell 
 in their defence at the Battle of 
 Bunker Hill, June 17, 1775. 
 
 Here, in the Cemetery, are laid the re- 
 mains of Wendell Phillips, removed from 
 the Granary Burying-ground (where they 
 had temporarily been placed at his death) 
 in April, 1886. There are numerous ob- 
 jects of interest to strangers. There is 
 a bright local paper, the Milton News, 
 published by W. A. Woodward. 
 
 Newton Circuit. One of the most 
 pleasant excursions into the beautiful 
 suburbs of Boston may be made by what 
 is known as the Newton Circuit of the 
 Boston & Albany Railway, opened May 
 16, 1886. As is well known the group of 
 villages comprising the city of Newton, 
 and the other towns between Newton 
 and Boston, are among the most pictur- 
 esque and charming localities to be found 
 in America, rivalling the beautiful settle- 
 ments along the banks of the Thames 
 
 above London, the river Charles being 
 no less worthy of admiration than the 
 English river, and, in fact, there are 
 various points of resemblance between 
 them. By means of the new Newton 
 Circuit one may find frequent and rapid 
 transit to this delightful suburban region. 
 The Circuit Line from Boston to Boston 
 — via Main Line Circuit and Brookline 
 Circuit— has the following stations : Cot- 
 tage Farm (3m.), Allston (4), Brighton (5), 
 Faneuil (6), Newton (6|), Newtonville (8), 
 West Newton (9), Auburndale (10), River- 
 side (11) (the farthest point of the Circuit, 
 a branch line running from here to New- 
 ton Lower Falls), Woodland (11), Waban 
 (10i), Eliot (10), Newton Highlands (9), 
 Newton Centre (8), Chestnut Hill (7), 
 Reservoir (6), Cypress Street (4|), Brook- 
 line (4), Longwood (3), Chapel (23-4), Bea- 
 con Street, and ending in Boston, where 
 it begins. Trains are run every day, 
 Sundays included, almost every half 
 hour, upwards of 20 trains per day, each 
 way, being made up. 
 
 Peabody. 18 miles, on the Eastern 
 Railway. Here is the house Avhere George 
 Peabody was born. The Peabody Insti- 
 tute and Library, given by Peabody to 
 the town, are well worthy of a visit. The 
 Institute contains a remarkably fine oil 
 portrait of Queen Victoria, and many 
 other highly interesting objects. Here, 
 also, is Harmony Grove Cemeterv, where 
 Peabody was buried, and an old burying- 
 ground, where Eliza Wharton, "the Co- 
 quette," was buried. In this town is also 
 the noted " Ship Rock." (Peabody can 
 be reached by street-cars from Cornhill, 
 via Lynn & Boston horse-railway.) 
 
 Quincy. 8 miles from Boston. Old 
 Colony Railway. One of the most at- 
 tractive suburbs of the city. This town 
 was called after John Quincy, who died 
 in 1767. Here are a number of historic 
 old mansions, among them the houses in 
 which the Presidents of the United States, 
 John Adams and John Quincy Adams, 
 were born and also the house in which 
 both of them died. Their remains were 
 placed in the portico of the Stone Temple. 
 The house in which John Hancock lived 
 is also standing. It was here that the 
 first railway in this country was laid, in 
 1826, the line being three miles in length. 
 The noted Adams Academy is located 
 here. Among the interesting features of 
 the town are the Sailors' Snug Harbor 
 and the National Sailors' Home. The 
 great granite quarries are objects of 
 wonder to strangers. In fact, the town 
 abounds in interesting localities. At the 
 dedication of the Sailors' Snug Harbor, 
 Lunt's fine poem, containing the fol- 
 lowing lines, was read: 
 
 "Here may the veteran mariner repose 
 When on his craft the life-storm fiercely 
 blows; 
 
SAL-WEN 
 
 227 
 
 Here let him turn aport, and, furling sail, 
 Run for a harbor through the driving 
 
 gale; 
 Here, rounding to, drop anchor near the 
 
 shore, 
 And ride in safety till life's voyage is 
 
 o'er. 
 From cape to cape, search round our 
 
 noble Bay, 
 No lovelier sight than here can eye sur- 
 vey; 
 From yonder hill, when sunsets blazing 
 
 sheen 
 Sets in a golden frame the pictured 
 
 scene, 
 Let the eye wander freely as it will — 
 Landward or seaward — all is beauty 
 
 still." 
 
 North of Germantown is Hough's 
 Neck, granted to Atherton Hough, of 
 Boston, in 1637. The road from Quincy 
 was laid out in 1G73. The view from 
 Hough's Neck, or "Bay-side Park," is 
 one of great beauty and diversity. 
 
 Salem. 16 miles from Boston. Reach- 
 ed by Eastern division Boston & Maine 
 Railway. Also by street cars via Lynn 
 and Peabody. Lynn & Boston horse-rail- 
 way, office Cornhill, near Scollay Square. 
 Good bicycle roads. (Bicycle route is over 
 the Milldam, through Brighton Avenue 
 to Harvard Square, Cambridge, to Por- 
 ter's Station, to Medford, Maiden, Maple- 
 wood, East Sangus, Lynn, and Salem.) 
 Salem is an extremely interesting old 
 city. It is the county seat of Essex 
 County. The Essex House is on the prin- 
 cipal street, Essex Street. Here is a State 
 Normal School; the Essex Institute, (with 
 a library of 25,000 vols.); the Salem Ath- 
 enfeum, (with 14,000 vols.); the East India 
 Marine Hall, containing the fine ethno- 
 logical museum of the Marine Society, 
 (open to the public /ree every day except 
 Sunday from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m.) Histori- 
 cal associations abound here. The Roger 
 Williams House, which is still standing 
 at the corner of North and Essex Streets, 
 is noted for having been the building 
 in which some of the early examinations 
 of persons charged with making use of 
 witchcraft were held. Gallows Hill, where 
 executions took place, is an elevation in 
 the western part of the city. The frame 
 of the original first meeting-house, built 
 in 1634, is still to be seen, in the rear of 
 Plummer Hall. But, to the sentimental 
 tourist, the associations clustering about 
 the scenes of some of Hawthorne's ro- 
 mances are in Salem (as in Boston) more 
 Jirecious than any others,than even histor- 
 cal facts. Hawthorne was born in Union 
 Street in 1804. The house is now occupied 
 by two families, and is fast going to decay. 
 It is a two-story wooden house, and was 
 once painted brown. The house on Mall 
 
 Street,where Hawthorne wrote "The Scar- 
 let Letter," is also standing, and is some- 
 what more pretentious than the Union 
 Street house. The Custom House desk of 
 pine where he made his first rough draft of 
 " The Scarlet Letter " is sacredly preser- 
 ved in the reconstructed old First Church, 
 before mentioned. Another building, the 
 Ingersoll House, dating from 1662, is call- 
 ed "The House of the Seven Gables," al- 
 though Hawthorne declared that he drew 
 entirely upon his imagination for the site 
 of his Puncheon mansion. 
 
 Sudbury. 26 miles from Boston. 
 Longfellow has immortalized the old inn 
 at Sudbury in his famous "Tales of a 
 Wayside Inn," from which the following 
 extract is taken. Of the personages in- 
 troduced into these Tales the musician 
 was the late Ole Bull — whose widow and 
 daughter now reside in Cambridge — and 
 the Sicilian was Luigi Monti. 
 
 "As ancient is this hostelry 
 
 As any in the land may be, 
 
 Built in the old colonial day 
 
 When men lived in a grander way 
 
 With ampler hospitality;— 
 
 A kind of old Hobgoblin Hall 
 
 Now somewhat fallen to decay, 
 
 With weather stains upon the wall, 
 
 And stairways worn, and crazy doors, 
 
 And creaking and uneven floors, 
 
 And chimneys huge and tiled and tall." 
 
 Swampscott. 12 miles, on the 
 Eastern Railway. The summer home of 
 numerous well-known wealthy Boston- 
 ians. There are many elegant villas, and 
 several fine hotels, among them being the 
 Lincoln and Ocean Houses. The beaches 
 are of good length, and the bathing, on 
 account of the comparative warmth of 
 the water, is very enjoyable. 
 
 Wellesley. 15 miles. Boston and 
 Albany Railway. This is one of the most 
 beautiful towns in the chain of park-like 
 suburbs surrounding Boston. Here is 
 located the great Wellesley College for 
 young ladies. The celebrated grounds of 
 William Emerson Baker known as Krino 
 Park and Grotto, are visited by many 
 thousands of people every summer,while 
 near by is the Hunnewell Estate, with its 
 noted Italian-terrace Garden. 
 
 Wenliam, a pretty town, 22 miles 
 from Boston, is noted for its Wenham 
 Lake, from which, in years gone by, ice 
 was cut by the Tudor Ice Company, of 
 Boston, and sent to England. Ice is 
 known in London, to-day, as " Wenham," 
 taking its name from Wenham Lake. 
 (Wenham is in Essex County, on the 
 Eastern Division of the Boston and Maine 
 Railway.) 
 
A— FRA 
 
 PUBLIC PARKS. 
 
 A few years ago Boston began 
 to realize that with the rapid increase in 
 population there came the need of more 
 open spaces in which the people might 
 find rest and recreation, and that the time 
 to lay out these public parks was before 
 desirable territory for such grounds had 
 been laid out into streets and covered 
 with dwelling houses. Boston sometimes 
 looks ahead a little, and in the matter of 
 parks, she has recently taken steps in a 
 true, progressive direction. The follow- 
 ing is a list of old and new public parks 
 and squares: 
 
 Arboretum Park. Jamaica Plain, 
 W. Roxbury District. 164 acres. Reached 
 by steam railway, Boston and Providence 
 line to Forest Hills Station, or by street- 
 cars, Jamaica Plain line. 
 
 Back Bay Park. On the "made 
 land " of the Back Bay or New West End 
 Territory. Avenues lead to it from West 
 Chester Park Street and Beacon Street. 
 It is constructed on a novel plan, com- 
 bining effects of "wild gardens," groves 
 of trees and shrubbery, water-basins, 
 etc., diversified by carriage-drives and 
 promenades. The Back Bay cars take 
 one quite near. 
 
 Belmont Square. Bounded by 
 Sumner, Webster, Seaver and Lamson 
 Streets, East Boston. Area, 30,000 square 
 feet. 
 
 Blackstone Square. Bounded

 Washington and West Brookline Streets. 
 Area, 105,100 square feet. 
 
 Boston Common. Bounded by 
 Tremont, Park, Beacon, Charles and 
 Boylston Streets. Area, 48£ acres.

 Chelsea Streets, Charlestown District. 
 
 Commonwealth Avenue 
 Parkway. From Arlington Street to

 Franklin (West Roxbury) 
 
 Park. A large territory in the West 
 Roxbury District, which has been opened 
 to the public in its natural state. Divi- 
 sion walls have been removed, and the 
 people are permitted to rpam at will over 
 its hills, plains and meadows, or through 
 its woodlands. Naturally one of the most 
 picturesque and beautiful tracts in New 
 England, it must eventually become, 
 when artistic features have supplemented 
 its present wildness, one of the most 
 charming great public parks of the world. 
 The most elaborate plans for heightening 
 the beauty of its original features have 
 been prepared. It is visited by large 
 numbers, especially on Sundays. It is 
 estimated that on certain holidays and 
 Sundays the number of visitors from all 
 directions has reached 50,000. If better 
 facilities for transportation were afforded 
 even larger numbers would probably as- 
 semble. The Park already contains about 
 one thousand acre&j-and it will probably 
 be enlarged by the addition of several 
 estates adjoining. The main entrance is 
 from Blue Hill Avenue. (Take Franklin 
 Park or Oakland Garden street-cars at 
 Temple Place.)

 GYM— DOW 
 
 GYMNASIUMS. 
 
 A Number of years ago a great 
 impetus was given to gymnastic training 
 in Boston by Dr. George B. Winship, " the 
 strong man." Later, Dr. Dio Lewis did 
 much to promote physical health, espe- 
 cially among young women. The city and 
 suburbs are now well supplied with finely- 
 appointed gymnasiums, as follows: 
 
 Boston Young Men's Chris- 
 tian Association Gymnasium. 
 
 174 Boylston Street. 
 
 Boston Young Men's Chris- 
 tian Union Gymnasium. 18 
 
 Boylston Street.

 nasium. Corner of Berkeley and Ap- 
 pleton Streets.

 City Point. South Boston. For the 
 perspiring citizen or stranger who wishes 
 to find a cool temperature within a short 
 distance, a ride of about thirty minutes 
 upon one of the open cars of either the 
 Scollay Square or Park Square lines of 
 the South Boston Horse Railway, will 
 take him to City Point, where he can 
 usually enjoy cool, ocean breezes to his 
 heart's content. Now that the new Marine 
 Park has been opened, with its broad pier 
 extending several hundred feet into the 
 waters of Dorchester Bay. sheltered from 
 the sun and from rain for the distance of 
 three hundred and fifty feet, and having 
 a double row of seats its entire length, 
 
 the number of people who make an ex- 
 cursion to this point is daily on the in- 
 crease. On the first warm day after the 
 pier was constructed (1886) a multitude of 
 people visited this Park. The Park Com- 
 missioners have arranged for the preser- 
 vation of perfect order. The invigorating 
 salt-air breezes, the beautiful view of the 
 vessels passing in and out of the harbor; 
 of Fort Independence, Thompson Island, 
 etc., and the pleasant ride to the Point, 
 combine to form a very attractive excur- 
 sion, for an outlay of ten cents. 
 
 Cohasset. This is one of the most 
 beautiful and romantic spots along the 
 whole coast. Here a large theatrical col- 
 ony have summer homes. Lawrence 
 Barrett has a fine residence. William H. 
 Crane, Stuart Robson, Harry Meredith, 
 George C. Boniface and others have 
 pleasant homes here. (Cohasset is 20 
 miles from Boston, on the Old Colony 
 Railway).

 Downer. Partly sheltered from the 
 strongest force of Old Ocean and the 
 winds by projecting headlands and rocky 
 points, it is much patronized by those who 
 prefer placid basins to high-rolling break- 
 ers, and quiet, picturesque views to the 
 more bold surroundings of some of the 
 other resorts near the city. Here one 
 may bathe in water that is more shallow 
 and is less cold than at other beaches, and 
 there are many unique features which 
 bring visitors here who seldom go to the 
 other seaside resorts. Here is the noted 
 Melville Garden, with an area of twenty 
 acres, within which are offered innumera- 
 ble attractions — boating,fishing,bathing, 
 dancing, bowling, shooting, and oppor- 
 tunities for playing billiards, ball, cro- 
 quet, tennis, lacrosse, etc., while swings, 
 flying horses, and other amusements 
 please the young. There are bear-pits,, 
 and numerous other objects of interest. 
 It is a/great resort for picnic parties from 
 all sections of New England. One of its 
 features consists of an immense clam- 
 bake pavilion — seating nearly a thou- 
 sand people at one time— where mammoth 
 heaps of clams cooked in the primitive 
 manner of the Indians, and taught by 
 them to the early settlers of Boston, 
 namely, by baking them upon stones 
 upon which a hot fire has been burning, 
 placing over them seaweed to hold the 
 heat. Ears of green corn are cooked in 
 the same manner, and at the same time. 
 These clambakes are greatly enjoyed 
 by the rural population who swarm to 
 Downer Landing on hot summer days, 
 crowding the great harbor steamers to the 
 limit permitted bylaw. Downer Landing 
 has quite a large colony of summer resi- 
 dents from Boston and other cities. There 
 is an excellent hotel, the Rose Standish 
 House. That a certain degree of exclu- 
 siveness pervades the community may be 
 gathered from the following, from the 
 pen of Nora Perry: "Downer Landing 
 is a retreat for the cottagers, chiefly; and, 
 still and high, it looks down upon Nan- 
 tasket's whirl and bustle with a little of 
 the holier-than-thouativeness that comes 
 so natural to the Bostonian. Ask these 
 quiet dwellers, enthroned upon their 
 height, if they visit Nantasket fre- 
 quently, for a day's junketing, and see 
 with what a superior air of pity for your 
 ignorance you will be answered. You 
 might as well ask them if they spent 
 Fourth of July on Boston Common." 
 (Steamers for Downer Landing leave 
 India Wharf, 288 Atlantic Avenue, fre- 
 quently during the day. Sundays in- 
 cluded. Trains on the Old Colony Rail- 
 way carry passengers to Hingham). 
 
 Glades. At the extreme end of Scit- 
 uate. A most romantic and beautiful 
 spot. Here are the summer homes of 
 several prominent Bostonians, among 
 them Hon. Oliver Ames, Frederic L. 
 Ames, Hon. Robert Codman and others. 
 
 Green Hill. One of the Nantasket 
 resorts. The summer home of the Han- 
 Ion Brothers, the famous pantomimists. 
 
 Grover Cliff. 
 
 throp. 
 
 A locality in Win- 
 
 Hmgham, About three miles from 
 Nantasket Beach is the old town of Hing- 
 ham. This is a summer home of quite a 
 number of Bostonians, who admire its 
 streets, shaded by fine old trees, and its 
 many charming drives. Here is a statue 
 of John A. Andrew. In the South Hing- 
 ham burial-ground is a renowned mag- 
 nolia tree. (Hingham is 17 miles from 
 Boston, on the Old Colony Railway.) 
 
 Hough's Neck (or Bayside Park) 
 lies north of Germantown, Quincy. It is 
 reached by a three-mile carriage road 
 from Quincy on the Old Colony Railway. 
 As a place for summer residence, owing 
 to its comparatively isolated situation 
 and the superb views in every direction, 
 it is coming to be regarded as one of the 
 most desirable in the vicinity of the city. 
 
 Hull. George S. Hillard compared 
 Nantasket and Hull to the Lido of Venice ; 
 but it was hardly fair toward Hull, say 
 travellers. At Hull is the Hotel Pember- 
 ton, an imposing structure of Queen 
 Anne architecture, and with spacious 
 piazzas, band-stand, etc. The views from 
 the Pemberton are extremely beautiful, 
 in whatever direction one may look. The 
 pier of the steamboat line is near the 
 hotel, as is also the station of the Nantas- 
 ket Beach Railway. Many passengers 
 going to Nantasket leave the steamer at 
 Hull and proceed the rest of the way by 
 rail, thus giving the trip a pleasing 
 variety. (For Hull take steamers at 
 Rowe's wharf, — 340 Atlantic Avenue — 
 seven times each way daily. See time- 
 table in daily papers. Street-cars to 
 Rowe's wharf from head of Franklin 
 Street. Rail all the way from Boston to 
 Hull on Old Colony and Nantasket Beach 
 Railways).

 Marshfield. 
 
 O the sea, the sea! 
 And Marshfield. 
 
 Daniel "Webster. 
 
 Small wonder that the great statesman, 
 amid the cares of public life at Washing- 
 ton or his office duties in Boston, sighed 
 for a glimpse of the spot he held dearer 
 than all, his seaside summer home at 
 Marshfield. This is a very pleasant old 
 town, and one will feel well repaid for a 
 visit. Here was for many years the home 
 of the late Adelaide Phillipps. (Marsh- 
 field is reached by trains on the Old 
 Colony Railway. It is 34 miles from Bos- 
 ton.)

 N"AH— NAN 
 
 Nahant. Longfellow — who had a 
 suniuier residence here — sang : 
 
 " Till my soul is full of longing 
 For the secret of the sea, 
 And the heart of the great ocean 
 Sends a thrilling pulse through me." 
 
 Lady Mary "V\ ort'iey Montague wrote : 
 " In returning through the harbor of 
 Boston from Nahant we were full of ad- 
 miration of its scenery ; the many lovely 
 islands with which it is beautifully stud- 
 ded, and the superb view of Boston 
 itself, so nobly surmounted by its crown- 
 like State House, enchanted us." Na- 
 hant was the summer home of Agassiz 
 and Prescott, as well as of Longfellow. 
 At Nahant are some most attractive 
 localities. For one who likes to see the 
 breaking waves dash high, there is no 
 place near the city more picturesque nor 
 beautiful. (One can go direct by steam- 
 boat from India "Wharf — 288 Atlantic av. 
 — or by rail to Lynn, by Eastern or Re- 
 vere Beach Railways, thence to Nahant 
 by coach.) 
 
 1 Nantasket Beach. Peter Pere- 
 grine wrote: "The Nantasket Beach is 
 the most beautiful one I ever saw. It 
 sweeps round in a majestic curve, which, 
 if it were continued so as to complete 
 the circle, would of itself embrace a small 
 sea. There was a gentle breeze upon the 
 water, and the sluggish waves rolled in- 
 ward with an languid movement, and 
 broke, with a low murmur of music, in 
 long lines of foam against the opposing 
 sands. The surf ace "of the sea was — in 
 every direction — thickly dotted with 
 sails, the air was of a delicious tempera- 
 ture, and altogether it was a scene to 
 detain one for hours." His pen-picture 
 of this delightful resort will find instant 
 appreciation in the minds of all who 
 have ever sojourned at this celebrated 
 beach, although since it was written the 
 surroundings upon the shore have 
 vastly changed. Palatial hotels have 
 been built, avenues have been laid out, 
 and the former deserted rocky headlands 
 are fast assuming the appearance of a 
 summer city by the sea. For those of 
 New England — and New York State also 
 furnishes its quota — who really desire 
 " a day at the beach," Nantasket offers 
 the desired attractions. Here is a wide, 
 hard, smooth beach, almost as even as 
 a floor, seven miles in length, and sweep- 
 ing in most graceful lines, with facilities 
 for driving, walking, bathing, etc., that 
 no leach on the coast can surpass. 
 Above all, the adjoining shore is not a 
 flat, tame, uninteresting waste of land, 
 but consists largely of lofty, rugged, 
 rocky headlands, rising majestically 
 from the sea, and surmounted with 
 Structures of various styles of architec- 
 ture. Along the Jerusalem road are 
 scenes of the greatest beauty and pic- 
 turesqueness, the waters surging in 
 among the rocks in great masses of foam- 
 
 ing surf, and casting showers of spark- 
 ling spray into the air. In a few moments 
 after arriving at the beach one can by 
 taking a Jerusalem road coach find as 
 much seclusion as may be desired. But 
 to the hundreds of thousands of people 
 who run down to Nantasket for a few 
 hours, or a few days, during the summer, 
 the bustle of the great hotels, the ex- 
 citement of the promenades, the quick- 
 ening pulse which stirs great throngs of 
 humanity, the music of the bands, the 
 dinner, the plunge into the high-rolling 
 surf, the various games, etc., are more 
 tempting than the retirement to more 
 secluded spots. The beach ordinarily 
 presents the appearance of a town on a 
 grand holiday; flags are flying, music 
 fills the air, crowds of people arrayed in 
 fine clothes are , promenading, merry 
 laughter comes from various cafes where 
 numerous parties are partaking of a 
 genuine old-fashioned clam-bake or a 
 " fish dinner; " there are aquariums, mer- 
 ry-go-rounds, miniature elevated-railways, 
 skating-rinks, Punch-and-Judy shows; 
 peddlers of whips, toy-balloons, peanuts, 
 pop-corn, lemonade; dime museums of 
 five-legged heifers, fat women, circus- 
 acrobats, and altogether one gets the 
 impression that a Fourth-of-July cele- 
 bration has been transferred here from 
 Boston Common. The great Hotel Nan- 
 tasket, situated directly upon the beach, 
 with its grand covered promenades, 
 piazzas, band-stand, etc., is the central 
 point where gather the bulk of day 
 excursionists, most of whom scarcely 
 leave the immediate vicinity until they 
 take the steamer for the return trip to 
 the city. At a short distance, upon an 
 elevation giving a superb panoramic 
 view of land and sea, is the noted Rock- 
 land House, a favorite summer home of 
 representatives of Boston's fashionable 
 circles. Rooms here are in such great 
 demand that early application is neces- 
 sary in order to secure them. Both of 
 these grand hotels are under the efficient 
 management of Russell & Sturgis, who 
 have won the gratitude of thousands of 
 patrons for the acceptable manner in 
 which they have administered to the 
 comfort and pleasure of all who have 
 come within their care. These gentle- 
 men deserve all the popularity they have 
 gained, and that their success increases 
 from year to year is but a deserved 
 tribute. The rapid development of the 
 resources of this great pleasure-resort 
 during the past few years is largely due 
 to the enterprise, foresight and pro- 
 gressiveness of these popular hosts. The 
 Atlantic House is beautifully located 
 upon a high bluff, and is abundantly pat- 
 ronized. Scores of other hotels, cafes, 
 etc., have been built along the beach and 
 upon the highlands, all of which seem to 
 be prosperous. The editor of a New 
 York newspaper writes thus of this re- 
 sort: " Bostonians are justly proud of 
 Nantasket Beach, where one can get cul- 
 
OAK-REV 
 
 tured clams, intellectual chowder, refined 
 lager, and very scientific pork and 
 beans. It is far superior, however, to our 
 monotonous sand-beach (Coney Island) 
 in its picturesqueness of natural beauty, 
 in the American character of the visi- 
 tors, in the reasonableness of hotel 
 charges, and the excellence of the ser- 
 vice. This is a pretty plain statement of 
 simple facts. (To reach Nantasket take 
 steamers leaving Rowe's Wharf — 340 
 Atlantic Avenue — eight times, each way, 
 daily. See time-table in daily papers. 
 Fare, 25 cents each way. Street-cars for 
 Rowe's Wharf leave head of Franklin 
 Street, corner of Washington Street, 
 every few minutes. Persons going to 
 Hotel Pemberton or Oregon House, Hull, 
 take the same steamers. Those who pre- 
 fer to go to Nantasket by rail, will find 
 frequent trains on the Old Colony Rail- 
 way to Hingham, thence by Nantasket 
 Beach Railway). 
 
 Oak, Island. A resort on Revere 
 Beach. 
 
 Ocean Spray. In the town of 
 Winthrop is located this popular and 
 rapidly-growing summer resort. The 
 beach is a very good one for bathing. 
 There are several excellent hotels, the 
 Shirley, the Hotel St. Leonards, etc. 
 Numerous well-known actors and ac- 
 tresses have summer homes here, among 
 them J. B. Mason, N. C. Goodwin, jr., H. 
 E. Dixey, George W. Wilson, Jacques 
 Kruger, W. F. Owen, James Nolan, Geo. 
 Fortescue, Mrs. Octavia Allen, Miss 
 Eleanor Cary and others. (Ocean Spray 
 is reached by Boston, Revere Beach & 
 Lynn Railway — 340 Atlantic Avenue — 
 changing at Winthrop Junction. Cars 
 run late at night, giving one facilities tor 
 getting home after the theatre).

 Plymouth. 
 
 ; ' The hill of hallowed brow 
 Where the Pilgrim sleepeth now." 
 Every visitor to Boston should, if possi- 
 ble, make a pilgrimage to Plymouth 
 Rock. Here is a quaint and beautiful old 
 town. It is said that at least twenty-five 
 thousand persons visit Plymouth every 
 summer. Here is the historic rock upon 
 which the Pilgrims landed ; Pilgrim Hall, 
 in which are many memorials of the fore- 
 fathers (mcludina: Governor Carver's 
 chair, Miles Standish's sword, etc.); the 
 Pilgrim National Monument, surmounted 
 by a gigantic ideal statue of "Faith": 
 the old Burying Hill; numerous old 
 houses, some of them built previous to 
 1680; and various other objects of inter- 
 est. There is a fine hotel here, the Clif- 
 ford. (Plymouth is reached by the Old 
 Colony Railway. It is 37 miles from Bos- 
 ton. There are frequent steamboat ex- 
 cursions to this town during the summer.) 
 
 Point Allerton. Adjoining HulL 
 Named for Isaac Allerton (agent of the 
 Massachusetts Bay Colony), who came 
 over in the " Mayflower. " 
 
 Point of Pines (See Revere 
 
 Beach). . 
 
 Point Shirley. In the town of 
 Winthrop. A very pleasant resort. Here 
 is Taft's Hotel, the most famous sea-side 
 game-dinner house in the United States. 
 Every known variety of fish, bird, etc., in 
 its season is pretty sure to be found here. 
 The wonderful extent of its larder and 
 the rare excellence of its cookery have 
 carried the fame of Taft's almost every- 
 where. The marine views from Point 
 Shirley are grand. (Take Boston, Revere 
 Beach and Lynn Railway — 340 Atlantic 
 Avenue — changing cars at Winthrop 
 Junction.) 
 
 Revere Beach. One of the most 
 famous resorts on the Atlantic coast is 
 Revere (or Chelsea) Peach, which can be 
 reached in twenty minutes from Boston. 
 This beach was not largely visited by Bos- 
 tonians until after the building of the Bos- 
 ton,Revere Beach and Lynn Narrow-gauge 
 Railway (through the efforts of A. P. 
 Blake), which runs directly along the 
 edge of the beach, giving the passenger 
 a most charming panorama all along the 
 route. The shore has been rapidly and 
 almost completely covered with hotels, 
 cafes, bathing establishments, etc., so 
 that it forms nearly a continuous street 
 from Chelsea to Point of Pines. Win- 
 throp, Beachmont and Crescent Beach 
 are becoming thickly populated sections, 
 and there have been many pretty cot- 
 tages erected, some of the owners resid- 
 ing here throughout the year. Facilities 
 for enjoying fishing, boating, bathing, 
 dancing, band concerts, etc., are numer- 
 ous, and almost innumerable throngs — 
 especially on Sundays and holidays — 
 crowd all means of transit to this beach. 
 Among the special attractions here are 
 the Italian restaurants, where one can 
 find such cooking of macaroni, spaghetti 
 or vermicelli as would tempt the palate of 
 the most fastidious epicure; many places 
 where may be had a regular fish (or 
 "shore") dinner, with all the "fixins," for 
 the moderate sum of half a dollar; while 
 here and there may be found establish- 
 ments dear to the heart of many a 
 hungry Yankee where baked beans are 
 dispensed; to say nothing of the numer- 
 ous houses where genuine clam-bakes are 
 provided, smoking hot from the heated 
 stones and seaweed, with all the accom- 
 paniments of green corn, melted butter 
 and watermelons, concluding with the 
 ubiquitous pie, selected from an inde- 
 scribable variety. Here, also, may be had 
 fish or clam chowder, in its perfection. 
 Proceeding to the farther end of the 
 beach we arrive at the celebrated resort,

 SAG-WIN" 
 
 the Point of Pines, the fame of which 
 has reached, the greater portion of the 
 country, judging froin the sections f roin 
 which come many of the guests of the 
 great Hotel Pines, one of the largest and 
 most elegant summer hotels in the United 
 States. Jiere is also the Goodwood, an- 
 other noted hotel; and numerous cafes. 
 The extensive grounds are laid out in the 
 most beautiful forms of modern land- 
 scape gardening, with lawns, flowers, 
 etc., and, at nightfall, when the numer- 
 ous arches of globes are illuminated, and 
 the electric lights are displayed, the 
 scene is one of great beauty and bril- 
 liancy. Concerts of band music are pro- 
 vided, and there are numerous other 
 great attractions. The scene on the grand 
 piazzas of the Hotel Pines during a band 
 concert on almost any afternoon is an 
 animated and most attractive one. 
 Through the able management of Charles 
 H. Thayer the Point of Pines has become 
 one of the great popular summer resorts 
 of the country. (Trains for Kevere Beach 
 leave the station of the B., P. B. & L. P. P. 
 — 340 Atlantic av. — generally on every 
 even hour of the day. Horse cars from 
 head of Franklin st. run to the Railway 
 station. Horse cars run to Revere Beach 
 from Cornhill.) 
 
 Sagamore Hill. At Nantasket'is 
 the famous Sagamore Hill, where once 
 the Indians dwelt, and held their councils. 
 The wigwam of a sachem was here, and 
 the savage court was held where now the 
 picnickers spread their dinner-cloth. 
 
 Scituate. 
 
 "How dear to my heart are the scenes of 
 my childhood, 
 
 When fond recollection presents them 
 to view; 
 
 The orchard, the meadow, the deep-tan- 
 gled wildwood, 
 
 And every loved spot that my infancy 
 knew." 
 
 Thus sang Samuel "Woodworth in his 
 familiar poem, " The Old Oaken Bucket," 
 
 the scene of which, in this old town, is 
 visited by many. (Scituate is on the Old 
 Colony Railway, 26 miles from Boston.) 
 
 Skull Head. A locality at Nantas- 
 ket. So called from the fact that many 
 human bones have here been found from 
 time to time, together with tomahawks, 
 arrowheads, etc., indicating that here the 
 Indians fought their enemies, the Tarra- 
 "tmes. 
 
 Strawberry Hill. Between Hull 
 and Nantasket lies Strawberry Hill, a 
 popular resort. Here is the Sea Foam 
 House. Numerous private residences 
 have been erected here. It may be reached 
 by leaving the steamer at Pemberton and 
 taking the train on the Nantasket Beach 
 Railway. 
 
 Sunny Side. It is here that the 
 celebrated. Vokes Family make their 
 summer home while in America. (See 
 Winthrop). 
 
 Swamps cott. One of the most fash- 
 ionable resorts of wealthy Bostonians. 
 Here are a number of excellent hotels. 
 Swampscott is said to be "the coolest 
 place on the entire North Shore." (On 
 the Eastern Railway, 12 miles from Bos- 
 ton). 
 
 Winthrop. This beautiful penin- 
 sula, having less than one thousand acres 
 in area, has more than eight miles of 
 beach. It has several pretty and thriving 
 settlements; Ocean Spray, Point Shirley, 
 Sunnyside, Great Head, Cottage Park 
 and Crystal Bay. Here Garibaldi so- 
 journed for some time, in 1853; and 
 Agassiz was no stranger to Winthrop's 
 great natural beauties. To give some 
 idea of the advance of the price of real 
 estate here, it may be stated that in 1875 
 land on the present site of Ocean Spray 
 was valued at but $35 an acre. (To reach 
 Winthrop take Boston, Revere Beach and 
 Lynn Railway, at 340 Atlantic Avenue). 
 
BOS— FOR 
 
 BOSTON HARBOR. 
 
 The waters of the rebel bay 
 Have kept their tea-leaf savor; 
 
 Our old North-Enders in their spray- 
 Still taste a Hyson flavor. 
 
 Oliver Wendell Holmes. 
 
 There is certainly no greater pleasure 
 to the weary citizen on a hot afternoon 
 than that afforded by a sail down the 
 harbor of Boston, renowned the world 
 over for its beauty, the number and size 
 of its islands, its majestic fortresses, its 
 bold headlands and magnificent views. 
 Those who take excursions on sluggish, 
 muddy rivers, through a tame, flat, unin- 
 teresting region, cannot realize the gran- 
 deur and beauty, the inspii iting, invigor- 
 ating recreation that comes from a real 
 visit to Old Neptune. Poets, authors and 
 artists have combined to sound the praises 
 of the beauties of Boston Harbor, but the 
 half has not been sung nor told. Howells, 
 the famous novelist, writes of it thus: 
 " A light breeze ruffled the surface of the 
 bay, and the innumerable little sail-boats 
 that dotted it took the sun and wind upon 
 their wings, which they dipped almost 
 into the sparkle of the water, and flew 
 lightly hither and thither like gulls that 
 loved the brine too well to rise wholly 
 from it. Larger ships, farther or nearer, 
 
 puffed or shrank their sails as they came 
 or went on the errands of commerce, but 
 always moved as if bent upon some 
 dreamy affair of pleasure; the steam- 
 boats that shot vehemently across their 
 tranquil courses seemed only gayer and 
 vivider visions, but not more substantial. 
 Yonder a black sea-going steamer passed 
 out between the far-off islands, and at 
 last left in the sky above those reveries 
 of fortification, a whiff of sombre smoke, 
 dark and unreal as a memory of battle. 
 . . . The steamships of many coast- 
 lines gloom, with their black, capacious 
 hulks, among the lighter sailing-craft, 
 and among the white, green-shuttered 
 passenger-boats; . . . ana then, growing 
 up from all, rises the mellow-tinted, 
 brick-built city, roof, and spire, and 
 dome, a fair and noble sight, indeed, 
 and one not surpassed for a certain 
 cleanly beauty by any that I know." 
 Another eminent author, Charles Dudley 
 Varner, writes: " What a beautiful har- 
 bor it is — everybody says— with its ir- 
 regularly indented shores and its islands ! 
 The day is simply delicious when we get 
 away from the unozoned air of the land. 
 The sky is cloudless, and the water spark- 
 les like the top of a glass of champagne." 
 
 FORTS IN THE HARBOR. 
 
 Fort Independence. About two 
 and one-half miles from the city (and only 
 nine hundred yards from City Point, 
 South Boston) stands majestic Fort Inde- 
 pendence, of stone, erected on the site of 
 Castle William. It is a fortress worthy of 
 the name. Each of its five sides is guard- 
 ed by bastions and flank defences, with 
 howitzers of large size, in casemates, and 
 on the barbettes are fifteen-inch Rodman 
 guns. It has spacious quarters for gar- 
 rison, storehouses, bakeries, rooms for 
 ordnance, etc. Here, on Castle Island, 
 has been a harbor defence for more than 
 two hundred and fifty years, being the 
 oldest military post held regularly for 
 purposes of defence in the United States. 
 The history of this great fort is an inter- 
 esting one. 
 
 Fort Warren. On Georges Island, 
 about six miles from the city, is Fort 
 Warren, the great fortress which has 
 been called "the key of Boston Harbor." 
 The first fortifications here were raised 
 in 1778. The present fort, the construc- 
 tion of which was begun in 1833 and fin- 
 ished in 1850, was built upon plans mod- 
 
 elled upon those of the best fortresses of 
 Europe. In 1861 the Webster Regiment 
 encamped here. During the Civil War, 
 after the "Merrimac" had begun its 
 raids, the Government at Washington 
 (hearing that a gentleman named Davis, 
 in the South, had threatened, at Atlanta, 
 to send several cruisers, among them the 
 " Alabama," into Boston Harbor, to bom- 
 bard the city of Phillips, Sumner and 
 Garrison, " the hot-bed of anti-slavery ") 
 commanded Governor John A. Andrew 
 to close up the entrance of the harbor by 
 sinking there the hulks of vessels. This 
 was not done, although other equally 
 effective plans for defending the city 
 were arranged. It was in the spring of 
 18G1, at Fort Warren, that " Glory, glory, 
 hallelujah ! " — 
 
 " John Brown's body lies a mouldering in 
 the grave, 
 His soul is marching on! " 
 
 was composed and first sung. The glee 
 club of the Second Battalion light infan- 
 try were the first to sing it. The music 
 was slightly varied from an old hymn- 
 tune. The Twelfth Massachusetts Regi- 
 ment, marching through Boston, com- 
 
ISL—LOtf 
 
 bined their thousand voices in a grand 
 chorus,and the army-song was then for the 
 first time heard in the streets of any city. 
 They afterwards sang it in New York and 
 Baltimore, and regiment after regiment 
 took it up until it swept through the en- 
 tire army. It has well been called "the 
 Marseillaise of the Rebellion." At this 
 famous fortress, during the Civil AVar, 
 were imprisoned hundreds of disloyal 
 officers and civilians. Gen. Burnside 
 alone sent eight hundred confederates 
 here. Among the prisoners at the " Bos- 
 ton Bastille," as it was termed, were Al- 
 exander H. Stephens, " Vice-President of 
 the Confederate States," who was a guest 
 for five months ; Major General Edward 
 Johnson, Generals Gordon, Marmaduke, 
 Jackson, Smith (T. B.), Trimble, Johnson, 
 Hunton, Kershaw, Barton, Corse, Simms; 
 Mason and Slidell, the Confederate 
 agents; Harry Gilmour, Commodore 
 Tucker, the officers and crews of the pri- 
 
 vateers, " Atlanta " and " Tacony," and 
 numerous others. (A United States Steam- 
 boat makes several trips, each way, every 
 day, between Central Wharf and Fort 
 Warren). 
 
 Fort Winthrop. Governor's Is- 
 land. In 1696 batteries were erected here. 
 The construction of the present fortress 
 was begun previous to the Civil War. 
 The United States Government has here 
 built enormous military defences, at an 
 immense outlay. Underneath the appar- 
 ently innocent tufted mounds are con- 
 structed vast subterranean arched pas- 
 sages, massive batteries, etc., while the 
 citadel, a gigantic, earth-covered granite 
 stronghold, shows merely its top above 
 the mounds. This is really the strongest 
 fortification in the harbor, probably, 
 although presenting the least indications 
 to that effect. 
 
 ISLANDS IN THE HARBOR. 
 
 As there are more than fifty islands 
 in Boston Harbor, we have not the space 
 to describe them, but will mention some 
 of the larger and best known. Long 
 Island is about five miles from the city. 
 Here are earthworks for defence, a light- 
 house, the light of which can be seen 
 fifteen miles out. There are here colonies 
 of Portuguese fishermen. Castle Island, 
 upon which is Fort Independence; Gov- 
 ernor's Island, with its Fort Winthrop ; 
 Georges Island, where is located Fort 
 
 Warren; Thompson's Island, Spectacle 
 Island, Lovell's Island, Gallop's Island, 
 Deer Island, where Boston's House of 
 Reformation, the House of Industry and 
 the Almshouse are located ; Ward's Island, 
 belonging to Harvard University; Little 
 Brewster, on which is Boston Light; 
 Great Brewster, where Bug Light is situ- 
 ated; Lovell's Island, Calf Island, Green 
 Island, Moon Island, Rainsford Island, 
 Peddock Island, Apple Island, Snake 
 Island, etc.

 BOSTON OF TO-DAY. 
 
 "A map of busy life- 
 Its fluctuations and its vast concerns." 
 — Cowpeb. 
 
 (This department of the Cyclopedia of 
 Boston has been arranged upon the plan 
 of Charles Dickens' Dictionaries of Lon- 
 don and Paris, the accuracy and value of 
 which the writer of this work has prac- 
 tically tested during his visits to those 
 cities). 
 
 Abattoir. (See Brighton Abattoir). 
 
 Academy of Arts and Scien- 
 ces, American. (1780). 10B Beacon 
 Street. One of the oldest and most noted 
 societies in existence for the promotion 
 of scientific knowledge. 
 
 Acme Club. (See Dining Clubs). 
 
 Adams House. (1883). 553 Wash- 
 ington Street. This renowned hotel 
 stands on the site of the former Adams 
 House, but greatly surpasses it in size, 
 magnificence and luxurious furnishings. 
 Here once stood the old Lamb Tavern, a 
 famous hostelry of provincial days, from 
 which several stage lines started. In 1767, 
 in the month of July, the Boston and 
 Providence Stage line was established, 
 with the Lamb Tavern as the Boston ter- 
 minus. This tavern was of wood, two 
 stories in height, with a swing-sign, upon 
 which was painted a white lamb. The 
 present Adams House is seven stories 
 high in front and eight stories in the 
 rear. The front is of white marble, with 
 polished red granite pillars and trim- 
 mings. It has three entrances from 
 Washington Street. Its grand, lofty hall 
 is brilliantly illuminated at night with 
 incandescent electric lights. The cafe, 
 for ladies and gentlemen, is ninety feet 
 in length and nineteen feet high, and 
 is decorated in the most elegant style. 
 There are about 300 rooms for guests, the 
 prices for which range from $1 per day 
 upwards. The hotel is kept on the Eu- 
 ropean plan. George G. Hall (formerly 
 of Hall & Whipple) is the Proprietor. 
 
 Aiding Discharged Convicts. 
 
 (1846). The Massachusetts Society for aid- - 
 ing discharged convicts is doing a noble 
 work. There is every reason to believe that 
 were it not for this kindly helping hand 
 extended to those who find it difficult to 
 obtain employment after coming out of 
 prison, crime woule be largely increased. 
 Charles Sumner was one of the founders 
 of the Society. Office at 35 Avon Street. 
 
 Ailandale Spring. A noted re- 
 sort in Jamaica Plain, West Roxbury 
 
 District. 
 
 Almshouses. The Directors of 
 Public Institutions have four almshouses 
 under their control. Office 30 Pemberton 
 Square. These almshouses are as fol- 
 lows : Rainsf ord Island, (Boston Harbor), 
 for male paupers; Deer Island, (Boston 
 Harbor), for women and children; Austin 
 Farm, (West Roxbury District), for aged 
 women ; Charlestown Neck, for residents 
 of the Charlestown District. 
 
 Amateur Dramatic Societies. 
 
 In Boston and vicinity there are quite a 
 number of societies of young persons as- 
 piring to Thespian honors, among the 
 most prominent being the " Footlight 
 Club, of Brookline. Charlestown District 
 has an Amateur Opera Club, the members 
 of which possess an unusual amount of 
 ability. 
 
 Amateur Photography is one 
 
 of the most popular occupations for many 
 ladies and gentlemen, whose leisure hours 
 are thus employed. Outfits may be ob- 
 tained of the various dealers in photo- 
 graph apparatus. 
 
 Ambulance Service. The am- 
 bulance system of Boston is arranged in 
 the most comprehensive and perfect man- 
 ner. Under the control of two great hos- 
 pitals— the Massachusetts and City — the 
 former looking after the sections of the 
 city north of Berkeley and Dover Streets, 
 and the latter covering the territory 
 south of that line. Applications may be 
 made at the nearest police station.

 AME-AKC 
 
 American Board of Commis- 
 sioners for Foreign Missions. 
 
 (1810). 7 Beacon Street. 
 
 American House. (1835). 56 
 Hanover Street. This is one of the oldest, 
 largest and most popular hotels of Boston. 
 The present great building covers the 
 sites of the old and renowned Merchants' 
 Hotel, Hanover House, and also that once 
 occupied by the residence of General 
 Joseph Warren. The grand, spacious 
 hall of the hotel is very attractive, and 
 presents a busy scene when thronged by 
 merchants from the West and South who 
 make their home at the American while 
 in Boston. Here, in the evening, after 
 dinner, before attending any of the vari- 
 ous theatres and other places of amuse- 
 ment, there is the appearance of a vast 
 exchange, where representatives of every 
 section of the country assemble to com- 
 pare notes as to the condition of business 
 in their respective cities. The American 
 is kept on the good, old-fashioned Ameri- 
 can plan; its table is noted for being 
 lavishly, supplied with every substantial 
 article of food as well as with every deli- 
 cacy that its experienced chef can devise • 
 its rooms are large, airy and provided 
 with most luxurious furnishings; and 
 everything that can in the least conduce 
 to the comfort or convenience of its 
 numerous guests is provided. It was the 
 first hotel to furnish a passenger-elevator 
 for the use of patrons. The American 
 holds a foremost position among the 
 
 §reat first-class hotels of the United 
 tates. and will continue so to do while 
 the enterprising, liberal and experienced 
 proprietors who now manage it shall con- 
 trol its fortunes. Henry B. Rice & Co. 
 conduct the hotel. Its rates are from 
 §2.50 to $3.50 per day. 
 
 American Peace Society. 
 
 (1828). 7 Beacon Street. 
 
 Amusements. The places of 
 amusement in Boston are numerous, and 
 one's taste must indeed be difficult to 
 please if the many entertainments pro- 
 vided do not offer something attractive. 
 The reader will find in the departments 
 of this work devoted to Places of Amuse- 
 ment, Mvseums and Exhibitions, Sum- 
 mer Gardens, etc., full particulars of the 
 amusements furnished in what the ma- 
 jority of managers term, in the parlance 
 of their profession, " the best show town 
 in the country." 
 
 Ancient and Honorable Ar- 
 tillery. (1638). Armory at Faneuil 
 Hall. This is the oldest military company 
 in the United States. Its annual parade 
 takes place on the first Monday in June, 
 when the company listens to a sermon, 
 has a grand dinner at Faneuil Hall, 
 thence proceeding to the Common,where 
 
 the Governor of the State delivers their 
 commissions to the newly-elected officers.

 Apartment Houses. Family 
 Hotels or French Flats were first intro- 
 duced into America in 1859. The first 
 apartment hotel to be constructed in the 
 United States was the Hotel Pelham, at 
 the corner of Tremont and Boylston 
 Streets, in Boston. (See complete list of 
 Apartment Hotels.) 
 
 Architecture. Boston is the finest 
 city, architecturally, considered as a 
 whole, in the United States. Washing- 
 ton has grand public buildings, other 
 cities have handsome structures; but the 
 general diffusion of good architectural 
 models in Boston gives a better average 
 of strength and beauty as prevailing 
 characteristics than can be found else- 
 where in the country. Whether one 
 visits the rebuilt "burnt district," where 
 miles of magnificent and substantial 
 business structures have been erected, or 
 the famous Back Bay residential quarter, 
 where hundreds of the most palatial 
 dwellings of Boston's "merchant prin- 
 ces " have been constructed, the fair- 
 minded will admit that there is no city 
 in America that can in this respect equal 
 the "Modern Athens." Among the 
 structures which excite the surprise and 
 admiration of visitors from foreign 
 shores are the Museum of Fine Arts 
 Building, Trinity Church, the New Old 
 South Church, State Street Block, the 
 Brattle Church (with its Bartholdi bas- 
 reliefs) and many others. Good examples 
 of the Greek school are St. Paul's Church, 
 the Custom House, Quincy Market, Court 
 House. Of the Italian Renaissance school 
 are the Boston Athenaeum and Boston 
 Museum, while the French Renaissance 
 has notable examples in the City Hall, 
 the Post-Office, Horticultural Hall, etc. 
 Of the Modern Gothic type, the Museum 
 of Fine Arts and the Boston and Provi- 
 dence Railway Station are conspicuous. 
 The Cathedral of the Holy Cross is a 
 grand example of the Mediaeval Gothic 
 style. 
 
 Arch-way Bookstore. De Wolfe, 
 Fis,ke & Co. 365 Washington Street. A 
 very popular bookstore.

 Area of Boston. The present 
 
 area of the city is 23,061 acres, or 3G.7 
 square miles, tnis being thirty times as 
 large as its original area. 
 
 Armstrong Transfer Com- 
 pany. The introduction of this con- 
 venient and care-saving arrangement, in 
 1882, was a great boon to travellers. The 
 system is a model one. Its safety, prompt- 
 ness, and efficiency combine to make it 
 
 Athletic Club, the Irish Athletic Club, 
 the Cribb Club, etc. (See Recreation 
 Clubs). 
 
 Back Bay. This is the ugly name 
 that has fastened itself upon the most 
 aristocratic quarter of the city, although 
 the section is now called " New West 
 End" by many. This district is bounded 
 by Charles River, Arlington Street., the 
 Boston & Providence Railway and West. 
 Chester Park Street. The territory is 
 
 one of the greatest helps to those who what is known as " made land," having 
 wish to have their baggage properly been reclaimed from the water of the 
 looked after The general office of the original bay by being filled in with gravel.

 various railway stations, hotels, etc. 
 Any one wishing the services of the com- 
 pany has simply to give an order, and 
 carriages and baggage-wagons are at 
 once sent to any residence, hotel or busi 
 
 of Fine Arts, the Boston Art-Club House, 
 Trinity Church, the New Old South

 can also check their baggage for delivery institute of Technology Building, Chil- 
 
 m any section of the city. The system is dren 's Hospital, Cbauncy-Hall School, 
 
 coming to be generally adopted by all 
 travellers as it should be. Edward A. 
 Taft is general manager; Fred S. Leon- 
 ard, superintendent. 
 
 Art. Boston is a great art-centre. 
 Its notable Museum of Fine Arts, a mag- 
 
 Prince School, Hollis Church, Harvard 
 Medical School, Massachusetts Bicycle 
 Club House, the Hotels Agassiz, Berkeley, 
 Bristol, Brunswick, Cluny, Copley, Guild- 
 ford, Hamilton, Harold, Huntington, 
 Kempton_, Victoria, Vendome, Westland, 
 etc. (This district is reached by the 
 nificently-equipped collection, comparing Clarendon and Vendome lines of Back 
 well with those of Europe, and hav^ Ba y cars > also D Y the Huntington Avenue 
 tag the largest and finest exhibition of ancl Dartmouth Street lines), 
 casts in the country; its many other gal- 
 leries; its Normal School of Art; Cowles Base Ball. (See Recreation Clubs). 
 Art School, School of Sculpture, John 
 Lowell School of Design, Society of Dec- 
 orative Art, Art Clubs, etc., and its 
 numerous resident artists, with their 
 classes, combine to give the city an artis- 
 tic atmosphere of genuine value, instead 
 of the superficial, meretricious, and spec- 
 ulative aspect so conspicuous in some 
 sections of our country. Boston works 
 in Art — as in Literature and Music— , e 
 quietly, unobtrusively, steadily and pro- ^ -tfatnsj. 
 
 gressively, without sensationalism or 
 ostentation, in this respect emulating the 
 example of the art-centres of the Old 
 World, where culture is deep, wide-spread 
 and lasting. (See Colleges and Schools, 
 Exhibitions, Art Galleries, Artists, Art 
 Clubs, etc). 
 
 Baths. The city is well provided 
 with bathing establishments. Turkish, 
 Russian, Roman, Electric, and Sulphur 
 baths are to be had at 17 Beacon Street. 
 The Turkish bath was established here by 
 Dr. Dio Lewis, some years since, on an 
 extensive plan. At 192 Tremont Street 
 baths of various kinds are furnished. 
 
 Battle Flags. 
 
 Battle Mags). 
 
 (See Exhibition of 
 
 Associated Press, in 1849 a 
 number of daily and weekly newspapers 
 combined to obtain telegraphic news, and 
 to divide the expense between them. No 
 new papers are admitted to the privileges 
 of the association. 
 
 Athletics. There are a great many 
 
 fentlemen in and around Boston who are 
 eeply interested in Athletics. There are 
 
 Beautifying Rail-way Station 
 Grounds. Nearly all of the Railway 
 lines running out of Boston endeavor to 
 make the grounds of their suburban sta- 
 tions as attractive as possible. The Old 
 Colony Railway Company in the spring of 
 1886 had 50,000 shrubs and plants set out 
 along its line. 
 
 Bicycling. Boston is the great bi- 
 cycling centre cf the country. It has the 
 largest clubs, the finest club-houses, the 
 best streets and roads for cycling, in the 
 world, outside of England, and the most 
 
 numerous organizations for promoting general interest in the subject of any city 
 physical health, among them the Boston in America. . Visitors are amazed at the 
 
24£ 
 
 BOA- BOS 
 
 size and importance of cycling organiza- 
 tions here, and delighted with the roads. 
 The Boston bicyclists sing — with Will 
 Carleton— : 
 
 "Good-morning, fellow-wheelmen — here's 
 
 a warm, fraternal hand, 
 As, with a rush of victory, we sweep 
 
 across the land! 
 If some may be dissatisfied to see the 
 
 way we ride, 
 "We only wish their majesties could travel 
 
 by our side ! 
 For we are pure philanthropists, 
 Unqualified philanthropists, 
 And would not have this happiness to 
 
 any one denied. 
 We claim a great utility that daily must 
 
 increase; 
 We claim from inactivity a sensible 
 
 release; 
 A constant mental, physical and moral 
 
 help we feel 
 That bids us turn enthusiasts, and cry, 
 
 ' God bless the wheel! ' " 
 
 The several bicycle clubs of Boston are 
 described at length in the department of 
 this work devoted to clubs. Many stu- 
 dents and professional gentlemen take 
 exercise on the bicycle or tricycle, while 
 the tricycle is also beginning to be 
 largely used by ladies. 
 
 Boating is a very popular recreation 
 with Bostomans. There are. various boat 
 clubs who make Charles River their scene 
 of exercise. (See Clubs). 
 
 Boffin's Bower. One of the 
 
 noblest charities of Boston is known as 
 Boffin's Bower. It is located at 1031 
 Washington Street. Founded by Miss 
 Jennie Collins, in 1870, it has afforded 
 assistance to hundreds of working girls, 
 who have been furnished with meals, 
 lodging, clothing, etc. Employment has 
 been secured for many; good counsel — 
 legal and otherwise — furnished; a read- 
 ing room provided, and many other excel- 
 lent features have been in operation. 
 Free dinners for working girls are fur- 
 nished during the winter. Donations are 
 always acceptable. 
 
 Books. Book-publishers and book- 
 sellers are very numerous in Boston, as 
 would be natural in a great literary cen- 
 tre. The only purely literary magazine 
 in America, the Atlantic Monthly, is 
 
 fmblished here. Among the great pub- 
 ishers of books in the city are Hough- 
 ton, Mifflin & Co., Ticknor & Co., "D. 
 Lothrop & Co., "Roberts Brothers, Lee & 
 Shepard. Little, Brown & Co. and Cup- 
 pies, Upham & Co. (See Old Comer 
 Bookstore.) There are a large number of 
 booksellers who do not publish, and nu- 
 merous antiquarian bookstores. (See 
 Old Book Stores.) 
 
 Boston Beacon. A paper issued 
 every Saturday morning from 295 Wash- 
 ington Street. It is filled to the brim 
 with bright, interesting items relating to 
 society, books, art, music, drama, etc. 
 It contains cartoons satirizing local af- 
 fairs. Cyrus A. Page is the publisher. 
 
 Boston Budget. This paper, is- 
 sued on Sunday morning, is one of the 
 brightest and most readable of the week- 
 lies. It was established by M. M. Ballou, 
 in 1878. It is now published by John D. 
 Dwyer. John W. Ryan is the editor and 
 dramatic critic. Mr. Ryan is one of our 
 most experienced and ablest journalists, 
 and has made the Budget a success. The 
 special features of the paper are con- 
 tributions by Ben: Perley Poore, enter- 
 taining paragraphs and much choice 
 miscellany. 
 
 Boston Cab Company. (1885). 
 
 The establishment of the Boston Cab 
 Company has worked a complete revolu- 
 tion in the public carriage service of the 
 city, and the hearty support its projec- 
 tor's have received augurs well for its 
 continuance and still further develop- 
 ment. In place of the dingy vehicles so 
 frequently to be seen, the shabby har- 
 nesses, and the overworked horses, this 
 Company supplies handsome new car- 
 riages, comprising coaches, broughams, 
 landaus, victorias, coupes, etc., made 
 expressly for this service, with fine 
 horses and equipments; capable and 
 polite drivers (wearing dark green coats 
 and silk hats, and, in rainy weather, 
 white rubber coats and hat covers) ; and 
 with carriages brilliantly lighted at 
 night, the latter being a great desidera- 
 tum with persons who are quite naturally 
 afraid of accidents happening in the 
 dark, now that so much reckless driving 
 of herdics, etc., is permitted. For shop- 
 ping, making calls, pleasure-rides, theatre 
 and party service, the Boston Cab Com- 
 pany furnishes conveyances that are as 
 fine as a gentleman's private carriage, at 
 very moderate prices. For carrying 
 passengers from one railway station to 
 another the rate is only 25 cents for each 
 passenger, without baggage. There is 
 no charge for hand luggage. The gen- 
 eral offices of the Boston Cab Company 
 are at 111 Arch Street. Edward A. 
 Taft is President; Fred. S. Leonard, Su- 
 perintendent. 
 
 Bostonian Society. An organi- 
 zation incorporated in 1881, for the pur- 
 pose of promoting the study of the history 
 of Boston and "the preservation of its 
 antiquities. Its rooms are in the Old 
 State House. 
 
 .Boston Memorial Associa- 
 tion. The avowed objects of this society 
 are "the ornamentation of the city of 
 Boston, the care of its memorials, the 
 
BRI-DAI 
 
 241 
 
 f reservation and improvement of its pub- 
 ic grounds, and the erection of works of 
 art within the limits of the city." Or- 
 ganized in 1880. . 
 
 Brighton Abattoir. (1873). 
 
 Brighton District. This Abattoir — mod- 
 elled upon those of Paris — is a place 
 much visited by those interested: A 
 number of large buildings are devoted to 
 the work of slaughtering, and so exten- 
 sive and well-arranged are the plans of 
 the Association that a thousand sheep 
 and over three hundred cattle may easily 
 be slaughtered every day. There are 
 about filty acres of land bordering on 
 Charles River, controlled by the company, 
 and the tracks. of the Boston and Albany 
 Railway and the Fitchburg Railway 
 ("Watertown branch) run directly to the 
 doors of the Abattoir. (To reach the 
 Brighton District take street cars from 
 Bowdoin Square or Park Square, or steam 
 cars on the Boston and Albany Railway). 
 
 Carney Hospital. (1635). Old 
 Harbor Street, South Boston. Founded 
 by a donation of §14,000 by the late An- 
 drew Carney. It is conducted by the 
 Sisters of Charity. It is an unsectarian 
 institution, patients of all religious be- 
 liefs being received. 
 
 Cathedral of the Holy Cross. 
 
 Washington Street, corner of Maiden 
 Street. This is a magnificent structure, 
 occupying over an acre of land; the 
 length of the building is 364 feet; width, 
 at the transept, 170 feet, width of nave and 
 aisles, 90 feet ; height to ridgepole, 120 
 feet. The interior is beautifully and ar- 
 tistically finished. 
 
 Charity Bureau. Chardon Street. 
 
 .. Children, Society for the Pre- 
 vention of Cruelty to. 1 Pember- 
 ton Square. 
 
 Chop Houses. Strangers in Bos- 
 ton, Englishmen especially, are at once 
 impressed with the English aspect of the 
 city and the people, and one of their first 
 desires is to find a chop-house, " One of 
 those snug, quiet little affairs where one 
 can get a nice mutton chop cooked in the 
 real English style, you know, such as one 
 finds at the Criterion, the Gaiety, the 
 Holborn, the Horse-Shoe, the Gatti, and 
 Spiers & Pond's restaurants in London." 
 In addition to the great hotels kept in the 
 European style — such as Young's, Par- 
 kers, the Adams, etc., where the cooking 
 of chops, steaks and meats of all kinds 
 is excellent — there are a number of cosy 
 restaurants where the serving of chops in 
 true English style is made a specialty. 
 Among those which have made the great- 
 est fame as chop-houses are Park's (Bos- 
 worth St.) ; the Coolidge Cafe (Bowdoin 
 
 Square), where patrons can see the chops 
 cooked on the silver grill ; Maine's (Hay- 
 ward Place) ; Clark's, 543 Washington 
 Street; Barrows', 37 Court Street, and 
 several other places. Tennyson has im- 
 mortalized the chop-house on Fleet Street, 
 London, called " The Cock." If music 
 be the food of love, chops may have been 
 the source of inspiration of some of the 
 Laureate's later poems. 
 
 Coasting. There are numerous hills 
 in the suburbs where this sport is largely 
 indulged in while the snow covers the 
 ground. At times there is sufficient 
 snow upon the Common to furnish good 
 coasting-ground, and then there are some 
 lively scenes. Bridges are often erected 
 over the principal walks temporarily 
 monopolized by the coasters. Numerous 
 accidents, several of them fatal, have 
 happened here to spectators as well as to 
 the participants in this dangerous amuse- 
 ment. A line of double-runners, packed 
 with men and boys, going down one of 
 the long incline's of the Common at al- 
 most lightning speed is an enlivening 
 scene, which is generally witnessed by 
 throngs of people. (See Tobogganing.) 
 
 Costly Houses. Among the nu- 
 merous expensive private residences in 
 Boston are the dwellings at 353 Common- 
 wealth Avenue (assessed for $225,000) and 
 306 Dartmouth Street (assessed for &210,- 
 000). 
 
 Daily Advertiser. (1812). 246 
 Washington Street. This is the oldest 
 of the daily newspapers of Boston, hav- 
 ing been established in 1812. (On the site 
 of its former office on Court Street, cor- 
 ner of Franklin Avenue, once stood the 
 printing office of Benjamin Franklin's 
 brother James, where Benjamin himself 
 learned his trade, in 1721. Franklin wrote 
 the following lines as a warning to visi- 
 tors to printing offices : 
 
 " All ye who come this curious art to see, 
 To handle anything must careful be; 
 Lest by a slight touch, ere you are aware, 
 You may do mischief which you can't 
 
 repair. 
 Lo ! this advice we give to every stranger: 
 Look on, and welcome, but to touch 
 
 there's danger!") 
 
 The Advertiser contained in its first 
 number the announcement that the com- 
 mercial feature would be predominant, 
 although politics would not be ignored. 
 The paper has been styled " the Respect- 
 able Daily," a compliment it has always 
 merited. William E. Barrett is its pres- 
 ent able editor. Its dramatic critic is 
 Henry A. Clapp, whose criticisms are 
 characterized by a refinement, daintiness 
 and poetical felicity of expression which 
 add largely to the force of the analyti- 
 cal and discriminating treatment given 
 them. Howard M. Tickuor is the inusi- 
 
242 
 
 DIS-FRE 
 
 cal critic, and his criticisms are written 
 in the methods of the true musician and 
 scholar. The art, literary and other re- 
 views are of a high standard. The Ad- 
 vertiser is an excellent newspaper. 
 
 Distances. The length of the city, 
 from its southerly to its northerly limits, 
 is 11 miles. The width of the city from 
 east to west, including the Brighton Dis- 
 trict, is 9 miles; the breadth of the busi- 
 ness section, from Charles River to the 
 Harbor, is 1\ miles. Distances from the 
 Old State House, (at the corner of Wash- 
 ington and State Streets), to certain 
 points, are given as follows: To Asylum 
 Street, 1 mile; Canton Street, 1|; Camden 
 Street, 2; Cedar Street,3; Egleston Square, 
 3i; Green Street. (Jamaica Plain, West 
 Roxbury District) 4; Forest Hills, 5; 
 Roslindale,6; Clarendon Hills, 7; Dedham 
 line, 9. 
 
 Drama 9 (See Places of Amusement). 
 
 Drives. The roads about Boston are 
 superb for driving. One can go in almost 
 any direction and find charming, pictur- 
 esque views. The Milldam road leads to 
 Longwood, Brookline and Chestnut Hill, 
 the favorite suburbs for drives. Other 
 roads, through Jamaica Plain, Dorches- 
 ter, etc., are also very attractive. 
 
 Electric Lights, now so common, 
 were first introduced in 1880, in Scollay 
 Square. _, 
 
 European-Flan Hotels. The 
 
 hotels kept on the European plan, of pro- 
 viding meals and lodgings separately, 
 now so numerous in this country, were 
 unknown here until 1855. In that year the 
 Parker House, of Boston, was opened, 
 and it was the first hotel in the United 
 States to be kept on the European plan. 
 
 Executions. All executions are 
 now privately conducted within the en- 
 closure of Charles Street Jail, near the 
 foot of Cambridge Street. 
 
 Faneuil Hall. Whittier wrote 
 
 (1844j: 
 
 " Men! — if manhood still ye claim, 
 
 If the Northern pulse can thrill, S 
 Roused by wrong or stung by shame. 
 
 Freely, strongly still, — 
 Let the sounds of traffic die: 
 
 Shut the mill-gate, — leave the stall, — 
 Fline the axe and hammer by,— 
 
 Throng to Faneuil Hall! 
 
 * # # # # 
 
 Up, and tread beneath your feet 
 
 Every cord by party spun: 
 Let your hearts together beat 
 
 As the heart of one. 
 Banks and tariffs, stocks and trade, 
 
 Let them rise or let them fall : 
 Freedom asks your common aid,— ^ 
 
 Up, to Faneuil Hall! " - " 
 
 The old Cradle of Liberty is still rocked 
 whenever there is any question of great 
 public interest at issue. Here, where 
 freedom was nurtured; where, during the 
 Rebellion, the people assembled to take 
 counsel together, and to listen to burning 
 words of eloquence from the statesmen 
 who quickened the love of every true 
 American for " one flag and an undivided 
 country," are still to be seen Pilgrims 
 from every State and every land, who 
 seem to feel that it is a privilege to stand 
 within this historic old landmark which 
 connects the past with the present. 
 
 Foot Sail. There are several Foot 
 Ball Teams in Boston and vicinity, among 
 them being the Institute of Technology 
 Team; the Harvard Team, Cambridge; 
 the Roxbury Latin School Team, Boston 
 Highlands. The Rugby game was intro- 
 duced in 1876. Interest in this exhilarat- 
 ing game increases with every season. 
 
 Free Band Concerts. During 
 the summer months concerts of band 
 music are given upon the Common and 
 other public grounds, on Sunday after- 
 noons and on week-day evenings. Full 
 particulars as to dates, time of beginning, 
 programs, etc., are to be found in the 
 daily newspapers. 
 
 Free Country Week. Under the 
 management of the Young Men's Chris- 
 tian Union, 18 Boylston Street, about 3,000 
 poor children of Boston are sent into 
 pleasant New England country towns for 
 a week's vacation. In 1855 a Vermont 
 farmer took three of these poor city 
 children into his family for a week. The 
 farmer and his wife became interested 
 in the children, visited their poverty- 
 stricken home in Boston, and have since 
 invited not only all the children but the 
 poor mother to be their guests for the 
 " Country Week." 
 
 Free Day Excursions. The City 
 Missionary Society, 19 Congregational 
 House, (1 'Somerset Street) provides free 
 horse-car tickets, harbor-steamboat tick- 
 ets and day excursions to the poor. In 
 1880, a gentleman sent $20 to this Society 
 to give free open-horse-car rides to the 
 poor during that summer. 200 persons 
 were thus enabled to enjoy a ride into the 
 suburbs. In 1885, 23,530 street-car rides 
 were given to the poor, 3,509 harbor- 
 steamboat tickets were distributed, and 
 4,690 enjoyed a day's vacation in the 
 country. 
 
 Free Dispensaries. There are 
 several Dispensaries for free medical 
 treatment for those without means to 
 consult other physicians. Among them 
 are the Boston Dispensary, Beniiet St., 
 cor. Ash St.; Boston Homeopathic Dis- 
 pensary, East Concord st. ; Dispensary, 
 Charity Building, Chardon St.; Dispen- 
 
FEE-FUL 
 
 243 
 
 sary, 14 Burroughs pi. ; Charlestown Free 
 Dispensary, 27 Harvard sq., Charlestown. 
 
 Free Excursions for Poor 
 Children are arranged to take place 
 during the summer vacation of the 
 schools. There are eight or ten of these 
 excursions to Lake Walden, Concord, 
 about a thousand hoys and girls being 
 taken at a time. The charity is in the 
 hands of a committee, who distribute 
 the tickets by having them given out by 
 the police to the poor children in their 
 respective precincts. This noble charity 
 is sustained by private contributions. 
 Messrs. Peters & Parkinson, 35 Con- 
 gress Street, are the treasurers. 
 
 Free Flowers and Fruit. The 
 
 Boston Flower and Fruit Mission, estab- 
 lished in 18C9, was the first charity of 
 this description to be organized any- 
 where. Miss Helen Tinkham, while walk- 
 ing across Boston Common in the year 
 named, carrying a bouquet, was asked 
 by so large a number of children for 
 "just one flower, please!" that she was 
 inspired with the idea that a Flower 
 Mission should be organized. It was 
 done, and the beautiful charity has 
 
 frown to be a most extensive one. 
 lowers, plants, slips, fruit and vege- 
 tables sent to 33 Pleasant Street on Mon- 
 day or Thursday between 8 a. m. and 12 
 m. (May to October), will be distributed 
 to the ill or infirm poor, to hospitals, 
 dispensaries, missions, diet-kitchens, 
 work-rooms, school-rooms of the poorer 
 districts, etc. Many a sad heart has been 
 lightened by a gift of beautiful flowers, 
 and many a couch of suffering made to 
 seem less painful. 
 
 Free Lectures. Under the aus- 
 pices of the Lowell Institute, courses of 
 Free Lectures by some of the most emi- 
 nent men of America and Europe are 
 delivered during the winter at Hunting- 
 ton Hall, Technology Building, 191 Boyl- 
 ston Street. 
 
 Free Lodgings. Homeless wan- 
 derers may find lodgings at Charity 
 Building, Chardon Street. It is expected, 
 however, that able-bodied applicants will 
 render a return for the accommodation 
 by performing a certain amount of such 
 light labor as may be given them, princi- 
 pally as a discouragement to vagrancy. 
 
 Freemasonry. (See Orders and 
 Secret Societies.) 
 
 Free Musical Instruction. 
 
 The Beneficent Society of the New Eng- 
 land Conservatory of Music, 27 East New- 
 ton Street, Franklin Square, was organ- 
 ized in 1885 for the purpose of assisting 
 young women and men without means in 
 obtaining a musical education; furnish- 
 ing, also, financial help, as well as aiding 
 them to secure remunerative positions. 
 
 Free Natural History Exhi- 
 bition. At Natural History Society 
 Building, West Berkeley Street, between 
 Boylston and Newbury Streets, on Wed- 
 nesday and Saturday afternoons. 
 
 Free Rides. The Young Men's 
 Christian Union, 18 Boylston Street, ap- 
 plies funds entrusted to its care for the 
 purpose of defraying the expense of rides 
 for invalids and poor persons into the 
 suburbs. 
 
 Free Sunday Art Exhibition. 
 
 The great collection at the Boston Mu- 
 seum of Fine Arts is open to all every 
 Sunday afternoon. St. James Avenue, 
 Copley Square. 
 
 Free Sunday Baths. The great 
 floating, swimming-baths of Boston — 
 (17 in number, 7 for women and girls, and 
 10 for men and boys) are open to all every 
 Sunday during the summer months, from 
 6 to 9 a. m. (See Free Baths for location). 
 
 Free Sunday Natural History 
 Exhibition. The famous Agassiz 
 Museum of Comparative Zoology is open 
 to all, on Sundays, from 1 to 5 p. m. 
 Cars from Park Square or Bowdoin 
 (Square. 
 
 Free Sunday Reading Room. 
 
 The reading-room of the Boston Public 
 Library is open to all on Sunday, day and 
 evening. 46 Boylston Street. 
 
 Free Vacations. The Community 
 of the Holy Name, 24 Cortes Street, re- 
 ceives women and children for a ten days' 
 vacation at their Summer Home at Wey- 
 mouth. Applications are to be made to 
 the Sister Superior. 
 
 Free * Vaccination. At Charity 
 Building, Chardon Street, all persons 
 unable to pay for being vaccinated may 
 receive this medical service free of cost. 
 It is expected that every person will take 
 this precautionary measure at least once 
 in every seven years. 
 
 Frog Pond. This is the name of . 
 the small sheet of water on Boston Corn- 
 
 Full Dress at the Opera or Theatres 
 of Boston is not de rz'<7we«?*,although quite 
 generally worn by occupants of the boxes 
 and orchestra stalls, as far as the gentle- 
 men are concerned. Ladies do not wear 
 full dress, as a rule, and it is almost the 
 universal custom to see ladies in walking 
 costume escorted by gentlemen in full 
 evening dress. The effect impressed 
 upon one is striking if not particularly 
 pleasing. 
 
244 
 
 GLO-HAR 
 
 Globe, Daily and Sunday. 
 
 238 Washington Street. Established in 
 1872, the first number being published on 
 the morning of March 4 of that year. 
 Maturin M. Ballou was its first editor. 
 He was succeeded by Clarence S. Wason, 
 who was followed by Edmund H. Hudson. 
 It was not, however, until Col. Charles H. 
 Taylor, who, after Mr. Ballou had retired 
 from the general management .of the new 
 paper, took charge of affairs that it be- 
 came successful. From an independent 
 daily the Globe has become a Democratic 
 paper of the most pronounced type. The 
 present editor is James W. Clarke, one of 
 the brightest journalists in the country, 
 formerly of the Traveller, and previously 
 of the Sunday Times, which acquired 
 great prominence during his connection 
 with it for its weeklv caricatures of the 
 Moodv and Sankey revival meetings then 
 being"held in the Tabernacle. The Globe 
 has now reached a very large circulation, 
 with both its daily and Sunday editions. 
 Its features include the publication of 
 continued stories, people's column, pieces 
 of music, and special articles upon local 
 topics of interest. The musical and dra- 
 matic department, in charge of Charles 
 W. Dyer, is one of the most attractive 
 columns devoted to those subjects in any 
 journal in the country, and is in great 
 demand far and near. 
 
 Harbor. In another department of 
 this work is to be found an allusion to 
 the unique and picturesquely beautiful 
 harbor, with its bluffs and rockv head- 
 lands, and its more than half a hundred 
 green islands, the wonder and admiration 
 of all visitors; the theme of many an 
 apostrophe by famous poets, andfrpquent 
 description by eminent authors; the 
 scene in summer of " processions of float- 
 ing palaces," as an English writer terms 
 the great fleet of the harbor boats, filled 
 with happy excursionists from the in- 
 terior of Massachusetts, from New Hamp- 
 shire, Vermont and Northern New York 
 State; the huge ocean line steamers; 
 the various boats running to home ports, 
 etc. Among the steamboats making 
 Boston their port are the " Gallia "— 
 the greyhound of the sea — "Pavonia," 
 "Scythia," " Cephalonia," "Catalonia," 
 "Bothnia " and other great steamboats 
 of the Cunard line between Boston and 
 Liverpool; the fleets of the Allan, War- 
 ren, Leyland and Anchor lines running 
 from Boston to Liverpool; the Furness 
 line to London; the Wilson line to Hull, 
 England; the Diamond Mail line for 
 Hayti; the " Katahdin," "Penobscot," 
 "Iowa," "Cambridge," " Tremont," 
 "John Brooks," "State of Maine," 
 "Cumberland," "Carroll," "Worcester," 
 "Milanese," "Dimmock," "General 
 Whitney," " Glaucus." "Saxon." "Do- 
 minion," "Alpha," "Ulunda," "Damara," 
 "British Queen," "Assyria," "Cale- 
 donia," "Durham City," "Roman," 
 
 " Spartan," " Boston City," " Chatham," 
 "D. H. Miller," "Berkshire," "City of 
 Macon," "Gate City," " City of Glouces- 
 ter," "Longfellow," "Empire State," 
 "Julia," " Kose Standish," "Twilight," 
 "Nantasket," "William Harrison," 
 "Governor Andrew," "General Lincoln," 
 "Norseman," "Palestine," and numer- 
 ous others, about one hundred in num- 
 ber — some of them being among the 
 largest, finest and fastest ocean steam- 
 ships ever constructed. Here may also 
 be seen a vast fleet of yachts, among 
 them the " Puritan," of world-wide celeb- 
 rity, and others scarcely less renowned. 
 Commercially, Boston ranks second only 
 to New York, owing largely to the ad- 
 vantages its harbor offers to vessels of all 
 kinds. An official report to the United 
 States Government by Prof. Henry Mitch- 
 ell on Boston Harbor as late as 1882, says: 
 " Its great merit lies in a happy conjunc- 
 tion of many favorable elements; the 
 facility and safety of its approaches; the 
 ample width and depth of its entrances ; 
 and,above all.the shelter of its roadsteads. 
 Perhaps there is no harbor in the world 
 where the inlets of the ocean are better 
 adjiisted to the amplitude of the interior 
 basins, or whose excellent holding- 
 grounds are so easy of access and yet so 
 land-locked. Her interior water-space 
 is large, but it is divided by chains of 
 islands into basins which offer sufficient 
 room for the heaviest ships to ride freely 
 at anchor." This statement, from one of 
 the best known and most competent 
 authorities (of the United States Ad- 
 visory Council), has had great weight in 
 calling attention to the vast natural ad- 
 vantages of the Harbor. With another 
 extract from a report of the experienced 
 captain of the English steamship, " Sor- 
 rento," we close the evidence of the at- 
 tractiveness of Boston Harbor. He says: 
 " During all my experience as an officer 
 and commander of steamships in the 
 Atlantic trade, / have never before loaded 
 at such magnificent docks. The great 
 depth of the water at low tides, and the 
 spacious sheds and elevators, render the 
 most complete facilities for the loading 
 and discharging of large steamships." 
 (See Map of Boston Harbor given in this 
 work.) 
 
 Harbor Lights. Among the great 
 lighthouses on the Atlantic coast are the 
 famous Boston Light, at the entrance of 
 the harbor, on Little Brewster Island, a 
 revolving white light, which may be seen 
 18 miles at sea: Minot Light, on Minot 
 Ledge, Cohasset Pocks; Bug Light, Long 
 Island Light, on Long Island, etc. (See 
 Minot Light). 
 
 Harvard Botanic Garden. 
 
 Cambridge. Ernest Ingersoll in the Cen- 
 tury, (June, 1886), writes: "Those horse- 
 cars which leave Bowdoin Square, Boston, 
 every half hour for Mount Auburn, by 
 
HAR-HOM 
 
 245 
 
 the way of Garden Street, Cambridge, 
 take the visitor nearest to the Botanic 
 Garden of Harvard University and the 
 residence of the venerable botanist, Dr. 
 Asa Gray. Past Harvard Sq., and the 
 Washington Elm, you leave the car at the 
 arsenal and walk up Garden Street, fol- 
 lowing the track which the British sol- 
 diers took in 1775 when they started for 
 Lexington and Concord." The Botanic 
 Garden covers eight acres. It originated 
 in 1805. Mr. Ingersoll says : "Passing out 
 of the herbarium into the library, .the 
 hungry botanist will find it hard to go 
 farther. No collection of books in this 
 country approaches it. . . . How easy it 
 must be to study botany in Cambridge ! 
 All day long and every day one may freely 
 bring here, treasures of his woodland 
 search and find their names, not by pick- 
 ing them to pieces and laboriously search- 
 ing among the dry technicalities of a 
 dusty volume, but by comparison with 
 their living brethren." The Botanic Gar- 
 den is open freely to all, every week-day. 
 
 Harvard Musical College. 
 
 Cambridge. A department of Harvard 
 University. This great classical Music 
 School has the highest standard possible, 
 the most exacting examinations, and 
 thorough instruction. It is under the 
 direction of John K. Paine, who is recog- 
 nized throughout the musical capitals of 
 Europe as America's greatest composer, 
 and most eminent native musician. Mr. 
 Paine, with the true simplicity and mod- 
 esty so characteristic of real genius, is 
 quietly but effectively moulding a na- 
 tional'standard of music, and impressing 
 upon the youth who come under his 
 masterly method a love for what is really 
 good and true in music, as well as stimu- 
 lating them to attempt to give correct 
 expression to such musical instincts and 
 ideas as nature has bestowed upon them. 
 
 Healthfulness of the Back 
 
 Bay. According to the testimony of 
 so eminent an authority as Edward H. 
 Clarke, M. D., the quarter of Boston 
 known as the Back Bay is a healthful 
 place of residence. He testified that 
 among his patients there he had not had 
 a single case of typhoid fever. Oliver 
 "Wendell Holmes, M. D., gives similar 
 evidence. Dr. Holmes, having written to 
 Dr. Charles F. Folsom, then Secretary of 
 the State Board of Health, with regard to 
 this matter, received the following reply: 
 "As to the Back Bay land, there is no 
 evidence of any conditions unfavorable to 
 health which can amount to proof. 
 There is so much space and sunshine that, 
 on the whole, the mortality is the lowest 
 in the city,— perhaps largely due to the 
 character of the population." 
 
 Hebrews. Boston has about 10,000 
 Hebrews among its population. 
 
 Herald, Daily and Sunday, 
 
 (1846). 255 Washington Street. This great 
 popular newspaper began its publications 
 August 31, 1846, with an evening edition, 
 being then but a small sheet, with four 
 five-column pages, and sold for one cent 
 a copy. William O.Eaton was its first 
 editor. It began as an independent news- 
 paper, and has always been conducted as 
 such. Its original design was to be neu- 
 tral in politics and religion, and it became 
 " pledged to no religious sect or political 
 party, always ready to rebuke both spirit- 
 ual and political wickedness in high 
 places, and call the servants of the public 
 to an account whenever they abuse the 
 trust committed to their care." Edwin 
 C. Bailey became sole proprietor in 1856. 
 In 1869, several members of the staff of 
 the paper, comprising Royal M. Pulsifer, 
 Edwin B. Haskell, Justin Andrews, 
 Charles H. Andrews, and George G. Bai- 
 ley bought out E. C. Bailey's interest in 
 the Herald. Of this company George C. 
 Bailey retired in 1871, and Justin An- 
 drews in 1873, leaving Messrs. R. M. Pul- 
 sifer, E. B. Haskell, ana Charles H. 
 Andrews proprietors of the paper, and 
 the same gentlemen constitute the firm 
 to-day. In 1878 the present Herald Build- 
 ing was occupied. It is said to be the 
 most finely-equipped newspaper office in 
 the world, by those competent to judge. 
 It covers a ground area of 6,200 square 
 feet. It has six stories and a basement. 
 The presses are of sufficient capacity to 
 run off about 90,000 papers an hour. The 
 managing editor is John H. Holmes, 
 whose ability and experience particularly 
 fit him for the duties of this responsible 
 position. The dramatic editor is E. A. 
 Perry, and the musical department is in 
 charge of Frederick P. Bacon, both of 
 whom make their columns exceedingly 
 interesting. In the New York Tribune 
 of April 25, 1886, is a reference to the Bos- 
 ton Herald, which may be appropriately 
 quoted here. It is as follows: "A.M. 
 Gibson, the newspaper writer, with whom 
 I was talking about Boston yesterday, he 
 having just returned from there, said to 
 me : ' It requires a pretty big stretch of 
 imagination and a personal visit to Boston 
 for a New Yorker to understand what a 
 city there is over there. I confess that 
 I was amazed when a friend took his map 
 and with a string showed me that within 
 a radius of eighteen miles of Faneuil Hall 
 there are 900,000 inhabitants. I would 
 scarcely have believed it. You can get 
 some idea of the size of the city from the 
 growth of the newspaper requirements. 
 The Boston Herald has sixty reporters on 
 its city staff. I doubt if there is a news- 
 paper in New York that has more. They 
 are all paid a salary, the lowest weekly 
 stipend being $20." The circulation of 
 the Herald is now as follows: Daily, 108,- 
 304; Sunday, 84,872. 
 
 Home Journal. 403 Washington

 HOE— JOTJ 
 
 and proprietors; W. Wallace Waugh, 
 manager. Published every Saturday 
 morning. The Home Journal is a bright, 
 cleanly, family paper, bearing every evi- 
 dence of thrift, as it deserves. Its special 
 features are its chronicle of society move- 
 ments, its able editorials, its literary, 
 musical and dramatic departments and 
 newsy hotel gossip. Charles M. Capen is 
 the musical critic, and wields an able and 
 caustic pen. Among the most interesting 
 contributions recently have been Luther 
 L. Holden's notes of travel. Altogether, 
 the Home Journal furnishes as attractive 
 a table of contents as the most cultured 
 reader can desire. 
 
 Horseback Riding. Equestrian- 
 ism is becoming more popular every year, 
 especially among young ladies. A visit 
 to any of the numerous excellent Riding 
 Schools will convince any one interested 
 of the truth of this statement. Lovers of 
 this healthful exercise may also often be 
 found in goodly numbers on the many 
 beautiful avenues beyond the Milldam. 
 The city, in laying out its various parks 
 and avenues, has thus far utterly ignored 
 the claims of equestrians. There are, 
 however, several very pleasant and pic- 
 turesque bridle-paths laid out through 
 the fields and woods of Brookline and 
 Longwood, on private grounds, and the 
 pubfic avenues of those beautiful subur- 
 ban districts are admirably fitted for 
 horseback riding. Leaving the dust of 
 Beacon Street, one can branch off into 
 shaded, retired roads and enjoy this ex- 
 ercise to the best advantage. Jamaica 
 Plain, — in the vicinity of Jamaica Pond, 
 —the Chestnut Hill Reservoir Park, and 
 other suburbs are popular with eques- 
 trians. 
 
 Horse-Car Excursions. Among 
 the pleasant excursions to be made at 
 trifling cost by the open horse-cars are 
 the following, (the faie being five cents, 
 or not more than one cent a mile for all 
 the long routes except to Milton, which 
 is a ten-cent fare): Take a car with the 
 sign Dorchester upon it as it turns from 
 Temple Place up Tremont Street, beside 
 the Common. The distance is nearly five 
 miles, and the views after passing Grove 
 Hall are beautiful. Take any car marked 
 Oakland Garden, or West Roxbury Park, 
 at Temple Place, corner Tremont Street, 
 and the ride will be found extremely en- 
 joyable. At the terminus of this line one 
 can enjoy the natural beauties of the 
 great West Roxbury (Franklin) Park, or 
 visit Oakland Garden, with its theatre, 
 cafes, promenades, etc. A pleasant ride 
 is that to Milton (about six miles) through 
 beautiful suburbs, and past fine old 
 estates, cars for which route leave the 
 corner of Washington and Bedford 
 Streets every half hour. Other charming 
 rides may be enjoyed by taking a Brook- 
 line horse-car near the Tremont House 
 
 on Tremont Street; Forest Hills, from 
 Tremont House; Jamaica Plain, from 
 Tremont House; South Boston, to City 
 Point, from Scollay Square or Park 
 Square. Other long rides are those to 
 Cambridge, Mount Auburn,Revere Beach, 
 Lynn, Somerville, Chelsea, Arlington, etc. 
 (The places mentioned in this list will be 
 found described more fully under their 
 respective names). 
 
 Hospitals. The three principal 
 hospitals of the city are the Massachu- 
 setts, the City and the Carney Hospitals. 
 A complete list will be found in another 
 department. 
 
 Hospital Newspaper Society. 
 
 This association provides newspapers 
 and other reading-matter for the inmates 
 of hospitals, homes, asylums and prisons. 
 Boxes for the reception of such matter 
 may be found at the various railway 
 stations, or it may be sent to 113 Revere 
 Street. 
 
 Hotel Elevators for guests were 
 first introduced in Boston at the Ameri- 
 can House. 
 
 Hub of the Universe. Oliver 
 Wendell Holmes, in his "Autocrat of the 
 Breakfast Table," was the first to call 
 Boston State House the Hub of the Solar 
 System. The quotation is literally as 
 follows: " Boston State House is the hub 
 of the solar system. You couldn't pry 
 that out of a Boston man if you had the 
 tire of all creation straightened out for a 
 crowbar! " Somehow or other the origi- 
 nal expression has been changed to the 
 " Hub of the Universe " and it sticks to 
 Boston almost as firmly as its proper 
 name. 
 
 Ice Skating. Skating on ice may 
 be enjoyed in "zero weather" on the 
 great Jamaica Pond, (Jamaica Plain, 
 West Roxbury District); Fresh Pond, 
 (Cambridge); and to a limited extent on 
 the Public Garden Pond and the Frog 
 Pond on the Common, the latter resorts 
 being reserved for children. AVhen the 
 ice is in good condition at Jamaica Pond 
 — the best place to go for this sport — the 
 street-cars of the Jamaica Plain line 
 (starting from Tremont House) carry a 
 signal to that effect in the form of a skate 
 placed above the front end of each car. 
 (See Boston Ice-Skating Club). 
 
 Italian Colony. There are in 
 Boston nearly 10,000 Italians, mostly liv- 
 ing at the North End. 
 
 Journal, Daily. 264 Washington 
 Street. Published morning and evening, 
 with semi-weekly and weekly issues. It 
 was established about half a century ago. 
 It was formerly called The Mercantile

 Journal. In 1841, John S. Sleeper, James 
 A. Dix, and Henry Rogers were the pro- 
 prietors, Capt. Sleeper being editor. As 
 "Hawser Martingale" he had written 
 some very popular "Tales of the Sea." 
 James A. Dix was the next editor, and 
 was followed by Stephen N. Stockwell. 
 Col. Rogers did much to establish the 
 Journal upon a secure footing, and suc- 
 ceeded in amassing a large fortune, being 
 come time before his death the principal 
 proprietor. Mr. Stockwell was a man of 
 rare ability. Col. W. W. Clapp is the 
 present editor, general manager and treas- 
 urer, his staff including the following: 
 C. F. W. Archer, John W.Ayres, B. Leigh- 
 ton Real, W. E. Bryant, (night editor), 
 H. R. Chamberlain, George H. Dearborn, 
 Frank Foxcrof t, W. W. Hill, W. F. Hutch- 
 ins, Arthur T. Lovell, Winthrop L. Mar- 
 vin, Stephen O'Meara, (news editor), 
 Henry O'Meara, (editor weekly, dramatic 
 writer), A. C. Parker, Geo. H. Pratt, W. E. 
 Robinson, J. H. Russell, W. H. Sanger, 
 Z. A. Smith, C. B. Seagrave, Miss Grace 
 W. Soper, Fred D. Stimpson, J. P. Shee- 
 han, A. A. Wilder. Col. Clapp is a jour- 
 nalist of great and versatile natural gifts, 
 schooled by long experience, and has won 
 for the Journal a reputation of which he 
 may well be proud. It is an excellent 
 type of a thoroughly New England news- 
 paper for the family. 
 
 Lacrosse. This game is rapidly 
 becoming very pop alar here. It was 
 first played prominently in this city as 
 one of the Fourth of July sports on 
 Boston Common, where it drew many 
 thousands of spectators. The games 
 were played between an Indian Club 
 from Canada and the Boston Club. It is 
 now recognized as one of the leading 
 
 f;ames, combining, as it does, the best 
 eatures of the other games. Of the 
 Boston Independent Lacrosse Club, James 
 A. McGee is President and P. J. McLaugh- 
 lin is Captain. The Cambridge Lacrosse 
 Club has for President Charles C. Ab- 
 bott, and for Captain Henry B. Hook. 
 The Somerville Lacrosse Club's Presi- 
 dent is W. H. Cummings; Captain, F. C. 
 Ross. 
 
 Lady Journalists. Among the 
 ladies engaged upon the Boston press are 
 the following: Mrs. A. M. B. Ellis (" Max 
 Eliot"), Herald.; Sallie Joy White, Ad- 
 vertiser; Susie Vogl, Woman's Journal ; 
 Lillian Whiting, Traveller; Miss Hatch, 
 Globe; Miss Soper, Journal; Miss Al- 
 drich, Home Journal; Mrs. Jenkins 
 (" Jay "), Herald; Mrs. Washburn, Globe, 
 Lucy Stone, Woman's Journal. 
 
 Latitude of Boston. The lati- 
 tude of the city is 42° 21' 27.6" North. 
 
 Law and Order League. As 
 
 strangely as it may appear, notwith- 
 standing every public official is popularly 
 
 supposed to have taken an oath to aid in 
 the enforcement of the laws, a society 
 has been formed having for its object 
 the careful looking-after of the " ser- 
 vants of the people " to see that certain 
 laws are thoroughly and impartially exe- 
 cuted. The ramifications of this organi- 
 zation extend through all sections of the 
 city, and its influence is strongly felt. 
 L. Edwin Dudley is the Secretary of the 
 League. 
 
 Longitude of Boston. The 
 
 longitude of the city is 5° 59' 18 ■' East, 
 from Washington, D. C, and 71° 3' 30 •' 
 West, from Greenwich, England. 
 
 Minot Light, on Minot Ledge, 
 Boston Harbor, is a gigantic lighthouse, 
 which is viewed with great interest by 
 all who pass it. The first lighthouse 
 erected here, of iron, was destroyed in a 
 great storm, two men being drowned. 
 The present granite structure was built 
 in 1858-60. Longfellow wrote of it as 
 follows : 
 " The rocky ledge runs far into the sea, 
 
 And on its outer point — some miles 
 away — 
 The lighthouse lifts its massive masonry; 
 
 A pillar of fire by night, of cloud by 
 day." 
 
 Morgues. Places of sad interest to 
 numerous visitors are the Morgues, of 
 which there are two, one on North Grove 
 Street and the other on Harrison Avenue, 
 (City Hospital Grounds). They are the 
 receptacles for the bodies of those found 
 dead in streets, harbor, river or elsewhere. 
 There are generally a number of bodies 
 awaiting identification. 
 
 Mount Auburn Cemetery. 
 
 The first burial-place to be laid out in the 
 United States as a "garden cemetery" 
 was that of Mount Auburn, Cambridge, 
 in 1831, and although the plan has been 
 imitated in other sections of the country 
 Mount Auburn is still the loveliest spot 
 for the interment of the dead, and the 
 most celebrated cemetery in the land. 
 Various causes combine to bring about 
 this result. Its great area, its natural 
 beauties, the age of its trees, the original 
 and perfect designs of its gardening, 
 taken in connection with the famous per- 
 sons whose dust lies there, render it a 
 place of sad interest to the thousands of 
 people who visit it during every summer. 
 It is evident that the memory of the dead 
 is still kept green, as fresh flowers are 
 placed upon many of the graves day after 
 day. Here are buried Henry Wadsworth 
 Longfellow, Charles Sumner, Charlotte 
 Cushman, Erminia Rudersdorff, Louis 
 Agassiz, Edward Everett, Anson Burlin- 
 game, Nathaniel Bowditch, William 
 Ellery Channing, John Murray, Hosea 
 Ballo'u, and numerous other men and 
 women eminent in life, and closely iden- 
 tified with the name and fame of Boston.

 MUS 
 
 At the time of the consecration of this 
 cemetery, Charles Sprague wrote the fol- 
 lowing lines: 
 "We raise no shout, no trumpet sound, 
 
 No banner to the breeze we spread; 
 Children of clay ! bend humbly round: — 
 
 We plant a city to the dead." 
 
 Longfellow's lot is numbered 580, In- 
 dian Ridge. The snow was softly falling 
 on Sunday, March 26, 1882, when he was 
 laid to rest, reminding one who was 
 present of the illustrious poet's own lines 
 at the time of the burial of Richard 
 Henry Dana: 
 
 •'We laid him in the sleep that comes to all 
 
 And left him to his rest and his renown. 
 
 The snow was falling, as if Heaven 
 
 dropped down 
 
 White flowers of paradise to strew his 
 
 pall:— 
 The dead around him seemed to wake 
 and call 
 His name, as worthy of so white a 
 crown:" 
 
 When Charlotte Cushman visited Mount 
 Auburn in 1874 for the purpose of select- 
 ing a lot which should be her final 
 resting-place, she was shown several en- 
 closures surrounded by costly and impos- 
 ing monuments. She remarked: "These 
 are all grand and beautiful, but haven't 
 you a lot commanding an unobstructed 
 view of the great city?" She was in- 
 formed that there were a few lots for 
 sale near the tower. While she and the 
 official were on the way to the place 
 designated, the graves of some of her 
 once warmest friends were passed, and 
 at each she paused for a moment and 
 related some pleasant memories connect- 
 ed with their lives. Palm avenue, at the 
 eastern side of the grounds, was reached, 
 and, standing upon a little eminence, 
 Miss Cushman exclaimed: "This is a 
 delightful spot; see, yonder lies dear old 
 Boston ! " The lot is numbered 4,236. 
 There are notable works of art through- 
 out the cemetery, among them Milmore's 
 " Sphinx," the Bowditch Statue, the Bal- 
 lou monument, and others, while in the 
 Chapel are statues of John ,Winthrop, 
 John Adams, James Otis and Joseph 
 Story. An interesting feature is the 
 Ossili Memorial, erected in memory of 
 Margaret Fuller Ossili, the famous writer 
 and reformer, who was lost at sea, 1850. 
 (Mount Auburn is reached by the Cam- 
 bridge line of street-cars, froin Bowdoin 
 Square). 
 
 Music. Boston is generally con- 
 ceded to be the musical centre of the 
 United States, especially by disinterested 
 musicians from abroad. Its great Handel 
 and Haydn Society, the foremost oratorio 
 organization in the country; its superb 
 Symphony Orchestra, rivalling the best 
 orchestras of Europe, conducted by Herr 
 Wilhelm Gericke, acknowledged to be 
 one of the leading musical directors of 
 
 the world— ; its noted singing clubs — 
 the Boylston, Apollo, Cecilia, etc. — ; its 
 Euterpe Club for promoting the highest 
 class of chamber music; its Conservato- 
 ries and Music Schools, the most exten- 
 sive in the country; its large number of 
 resident musicians of national — and 
 several of world-wide — fame, together 
 with the high standard of musical taste 
 pervading the entire community (which 
 is due in some degree to the excellent 
 system of teaching music in the publio 
 schools), are important factors in im- 
 parting to the city a musical atmosphere 
 rivalling that of the capitals of the Old 
 World. Within a few years a great and 
 gratifying change has taken place in our 
 musical affairs. For a long period there 
 was no attempt made to develop or to 
 encourage native artists or composers. 
 On the contrary, everything was done to 
 convince young Americans that they had 
 no right to think for themselves in musi- 
 cal matters. They were made to feel that 
 being living Americans instead of dead 
 Germans there was no hope for them. 
 English, French and Italian music, they 
 were told, was no music at all. There had 
 never been any such thing as American 
 music, and never could be. It was down- 
 right nonsense to imagine for a moment 
 that there would ever exist an American 
 who could sing or play, but should such 
 a phenomenal being happen to be born, 
 he must perforce, sing and play only Ger- 
 man music. It is not very creditable 
 to our city that John Knowles Paine, the 
 foremost of American composers, was not 
 given a hearing by the Harvard Musical 
 Association until a'fter he had won recog- 
 nition in Berlin. But now, happily, all is 
 changed. The shackles that so long bore 
 heavily upon our native youth are broken. 
 To Calixa Lavallee may be given a con- 
 siderable degree of credit for having as- 
 sisted to emancipate us from the snobbery 
 and toadyism that has so long prevailed 
 among program-makers, who have seemed 
 to recoil with horror from any work the 
 name of which is in the English lan- 
 guage. It is singular that it should have 
 been necessary for a foreign musician to 
 come among us to help stir our national 
 and local pride, and to stimulate the 
 growth and development of music of 
 home production. But now that the 
 great tide has turned ; now that an over- 
 whelming reaction has set in, what may 
 we not expect from our own musicians ? 
 As an evidence of what has already been 
 accomplished, we quote the following, 
 from one of the ablest musical papers 
 published, Freund's Music and L>rama, 
 New York: "A great many artists are 
 settling in Boston, mostly young Ameri- 
 cans, who have studied 'in Europe and 
 have come home with their acquired 
 stock of knowledge to spread the culture 
 of music here. Boston is becoming the 
 cradle of American musicians of promi- 
 nence. From Boston there may one day 
 arise the future American Beethoven."

 Musical Students. Boston 
 swarms with students of music, who come 
 from every State in the Union to take les- 
 sons at the various conservatories, music 
 schools, etc., and of private teachers. 
 
 New York Correspondents of

 Observatories. The Observatory 
 at Harvard University and that at Blue 
 Hill, Milton, have many visitors. 
 
 Offices of Harvard University in 
 Boston are : the office of the President 
 and Fellows is at 70 Water st. ; Treasurer, 
 70 Water st. ; Dean of the Harvard Medical 
 Faculty at Harvard Medical School, Boyl- 
 ston St., corner Exeter; Dean of Harvard 
 Dental Faculty, Hotel Bristol, Boylston 
 St.; Secretary of Harvard Veterinary 
 Faculty, 50 Village st. 
 
 Old Corner Bookstore. Prob- 
 ably the most noted bookstore in this 
 country is the Old Corner Bookstore, at 
 the corner of Washington and School 
 Streets, where Oliver Wendell Holmes, 
 James Russell Lowell, John Greenleaf 
 Whittier, William Dean Howells, Julia 
 Ward Howe, George Makepeace Towle, 
 John Boyle O'Reilly, George Parsons 
 Lathrop and other authors may often be 
 met, as in former times Henry Wadsworth 
 Longfellow, Ralph Waldo Emerson, 
 Charles Dickens, Nathaniel Hawthorne, 
 and many other celebrities gathered 
 there. The building was erected in 1712. 
 The firms of Booksellers who have occu- 
 pied this famous corner, have been Carter 
 & Hendee, Allen & Ticknor, Wm. D. 
 Ticknor & Co., Ticknor & Fields, E. P. 
 Dutton & Co., A. Williams & Co. The 
 business is now conducted by Messrs. 
 Cupples, Upham & Co., a firm of gentle- 
 men who by ability and enterprise fully 
 sustain the prestige of the far-famed 
 house. 
 
 Old Bookstores. The lover of 
 old and rare books will find abundant 
 means for gratifying his tastes in the 
 noted antiquarian bookstores of Boston. 
 Cornhill is the centre of this large busi- 
 ness. At No. 60 on this street is Bird's 
 Old Book Shop, where seekers after 
 "first editions" and scarce historical 
 and dramatic works make their haunt. 
 Another well-known antiquarian book- 
 store is that of Burnham. 2 Milk Street, 
 under the Old South Meeting House. 
 
 Old Buildings. At either end of 
 
 the short thoroughfare of School Street 
 may be found old buildings of great his- 
 torical interest. On the end cornering on 
 Tremont Street is the famous old King's 
 Chapel (1749), while at the end joining 
 Washington Street is the building now 
 known as the Old Corner Bookstore (1712). 
 (On the latter site once stood the resi- 
 dence of the troublesome Anne Hutchin- 
 son.) A little above this building, on the 
 corner of Milk Street, stands the Old 
 South Meeting House (1729). Nearly 
 opposite (where is now the St. Joachim 
 store) stand the walls of the old Province 
 House (1689). Returning past the Old 
 Corner Bookstore and passing down 
 Washington Street to the corner of State 
 Street, we come to the Old State House 
 (1748). Thence, proceeding through Wash- 
 ington Street and, turning to the right, ~ 
 we are at Faneuil Hall (1742). Returning 
 to Washington Street and keeping on 
 until Hanover Street is reached, Salem 
 Street is but a few steps to the left. Tak- 
 ing our walk through Salem Street, pass- 
 ing on the way several old houses, at 
 the farther end we come to the memora- 
 ble Old North Church (1723), from the 
 tower of which the lanterns were dis- 
 played as a signal to Paul Revere that the 
 British troops were to move on Lexing- 
 ton. From here it is but a short walk to 
 North Square, where stands the house in 
 which Paul Revere lived. 
 
 Old North End. The stranger 
 will find a most interesting ramble by 
 walking from the head of Hanover Street 
 down through Salem and Charter Streets. 
 On Salem Street is the famous old North 
 Church where the lanterns were hung 
 out. (See Historical Tablets.) On Char- 
 ter Street is the old Copp's Hill Burial 
 Ground, of great historic interest, and the 
 old Phipp's house. 
 
 Palatial Back Bay Hotels. 
 
 In the aristocratic quarter of the city 
 known as the Back Bay or New West End 
 there are three Hotels which for size, 
 magnificence and sumptuousness of fur- 
 nishing equal any public houses in the 
 world and eclipse most of those in the 
 United States. Strangers are simply 
 amazed at the splendor of these great 
 Hotels, foreigners looking upon them 
 with equal surprise and pleasure as evi- 
 dences of the rapid development of the 
 resources of " the new country, where 
 everything is done on such a vast and 
 magnificent scale," and as a proof of the 
 advanced taste, culture and refinement 
 of the great and rapidly growing metro- 
 polis of New England. It is but a few 
 years since the territory upon which 
 stand these superb Hotels was a waste of 
 ■water and marsh, while to-day the sur- 
 roundings are such as no capital in the 
 world can surpass in grandeur of archi- 
 tecture, broad avenues and squares, and 
 
250 
 
 PAR 
 
 all the accessories that indicate the opu- 
 lence and luxury of the " merchant 
 princes" of the second commercial city 
 of the United States. Now that it is be- 
 coming the fashion for the English nobil- 
 ity and gentry who visit the United States 
 to take steamers direct for Boston, it is 
 but natural that the hotels arranged for 
 the accommodation of this class of travel, 
 as well as for the Americans who make a 
 stay of a few weeks in Boston en route to 
 the White Mountains or the hundreds of 
 fashionable seaside resorts in the vicinity, 
 should prepare for their reception in 
 the styles corresponding with that of the 
 grandest hotels in the world. This the 
 proprietors of the Brunswick, the Ven- 
 dome and the Victoria are qualified to do, 
 from the abundant resources at their 
 command. The Hotel Brunswick was 
 opened in 1874. It is located on Boylston 
 Street, corner of Clarendon Street, near 
 Copley Square, and but a few steps from 
 the Museum of Fine Arts, Trinity Church, 
 New Old South, and other noted struc- 
 tures. The Brunswick covers over half an 
 acre of land, is six stories high, and its 
 exterior, of brick with sandstone trim- 
 mings, presents a grand appearance. The 
 building originally cost about one million 
 of dollars. It is considered to be perfectly 
 fireproof. The Brunswick is famed 
 throughout the country for the elegance, 
 taste and luxuriousness with which its 
 rooms are furnished. It has nearly 400 
 rooms. Every suite is furnished with a 
 bath-room. The famous Whittier ban- 
 quet, given here in 1877, to commemorate 
 the poet's 70th birthday, is remembered 
 as one of Boston's great literary gather- 
 ings. The Hotel Vendome is situated 
 upon what Harper's Weekly has justly 
 termed " the most magnificent avenue in 
 America." Commonwealth Avenue is 
 two hundred and fifty feet wide, from 
 house to house, with a wide parkway 
 running its entire length, and lined on 
 either side with some of the most palatial 
 residences in the world. The Vendome 
 has a frontage on the avenue of 240 feet, 
 and on Dartmouth Street of 125 feet, is 
 eight stories high, its fronts, of white 
 marble, presenting a most imposing ap- 
 pearance. Its grand banquet hall, 110 
 feet long, seats 350 persons. There are 
 five other great dining-rooms. It has 
 several parlors of large size. The Ven- 
 dome was built at an expense of more 
 than a million dollars. During the sum- 
 mer of 1886 the hotel was closed to the 
 public for the purpose of refitting, the 
 furniture, carpets, etc., being disposed 
 of; and although the house has from the 
 time of its opening been noted for the 
 beauty and richness of its furnishings, 
 the splendor of its new appointments far 
 eclipses all foimer grandeur, and it is, to- 
 day, probably the most expensively fur- 
 nished public house in America, every- 
 thing from the basement to the roof 
 being entirely new and of the most mod- 
 ern and beautiful description. . The Vic- 
 
 toria is the newest of these great hotels, 
 having been constructed in 1885-6. It is 
 located on Dartmouth Street (just across 
 the street from the Vendome), and is one 
 of the most attractive edifices on the 
 Back Bay, which is famed the world over 
 for its superb and varied styles of archi- 
 tecture. The Victoria is of brick, seven 
 stories high, and has been constructed 
 expressly to give full scope to the plans 
 of its proprietors for a model hotel on the 
 European plan. Every well-established 
 good feature of hotels designed upon this 
 system has been retained, while all mod- 
 ern inventions and improvements, that 
 can add to the comfort or luxury of its 
 appointments, have been adopted. Of 
 these palatial Back Bay Hotels, the 
 Brunswick and Vendome are kept upon 
 the American plan, and the Victoria on 
 the European system. The proprietors 
 of these three great Hotels are Amos 
 Barnes and John W. Dunklee, whose ex- 
 perience, judgment and taste abundantly 
 qualify them for the prominent and suc- 
 cessful position they hold among the 
 hotel proprietors of the country. (These 
 Hotels may be reached by public car- 
 riages to be found at all of the railway 
 stations and steamboat piers; by Ven- 
 dome and Clarendon lines of Back Bay 
 cars, etc. Passengers arriving on Boston 
 & Albany Railway will save time and 
 trouble by alighting at the Huntington 
 Avenue station, which is within a few 
 steps of any one of these three Hotels). 
 
 Parker House. (1855). School 
 Street, corner of Tremont Street. Estab- 
 lished by the late Harvey D. Parker. It 
 was the first hotel in the United States to 
 be opened on the European plan of fur- 
 nishing meals and lodgings separately. 
 Parker's occupies a unique position 
 among the great hotels of the world, of- 
 fering accommodations to the travelling 
 public that are to be found in but few 
 hotels. Its central location, its vast size, 
 its excellent table, its elegantly-furnished 
 rooms and sleeping apartments, its eleva- 
 tors, and various other equipments are of 
 the highest degree of comfort and luxury 
 combined; Parker's is a great rallying- 
 point on election nights, and other occa- 
 sions when important news is expected. 
 Many clubs dine here. The proprietors, 
 Joseph H. Beckman and Edward O. Pun- 
 chard, are young gentlemen who have 
 displayed tact, judgment, enterprise, and 
 liberality in management. The rates for 
 rooms range from $1.00 upward; suites 
 $8.00 upward. There are 325 rooms, single 
 and en suite. Of the office staff, J. Albert 
 Butler is cashier ; Frank W. Gilman, book- 
 keeper; Sebastian Sommer, asst.; Louis 
 P. Roberts, James A. Fitzsimmons, room- 
 clerks ; Frederick W. Draper, night-clerk. 
 
 Paris Correspondents of Bos-

 Petty Provincialisms. The 
 
 good, patient and long-suifering Boston- 
 fan still encourages the hope that the 
 period is not far remote when the burn- 
 ing of a small, disused barn in the West 
 Roxbury District will not cause half a 
 million of people to be disturbed in their 
 avocations during the day, nor aroused 
 from their slumber at night, by the clang 
 of alarm bells ; when the police will 
 keep the narrow sidewalks of Washing- 
 ton Street free from groups of persons 
 who stand there for hours obstructing 
 the passage of pedestrians; when ale 
 cab-drivers will be compelled to carry 
 lighted side-lamps, as many now do vol- 
 untarily; when there will be a sufficient 
 number of police stationed upon the 
 Common and Public Garden to make 
 those grounds as safe to cross at night 
 as they are during the day; when the 
 various street-railway lines will be re- 
 quired to run box cars alternately with 
 the open ones, for the benefit of elderly 
 and delicate persons; when street-cars 
 will not be kept waiting for a passenger 
 who is walking leisurely toward the car, a 
 block away; when the platforms of street- 
 cars on the inside — next to the other track 
 —will be closed by gates, thus avoiding 
 danger and delay; when bridges for foot 
 passengers will be erected at all grade 
 crossings of steam-railways, by order of 
 the railway commissioners, thus redu- 
 cing the number of fatal accidents at such 
 crossings; when managers of theatres 
 and other places of amusement will give 
 the exact location of their houses in their 
 advertisements, as well as the time for 
 beginning and closing the performances ; 
 when ladies and gentlemen from the 
 country will not insist upon walking 
 four or five abreast, and clasping each 
 other's hands, on Washington Street side- 
 walks; when building contractors will 
 not occupy more than half of the street 
 and all of the sidewalk while erecting 
 new buildings; when those who throw 
 orange peel and brmana rind upon the 
 sidewalk will be arrested, as they are in 
 New York and other cities; when Devon- 
 shire Street will be permanently paved; 
 when pedestrians will keep to the right 
 of the sidewalk; when no one will be 
 permitted to litter the streets and side- 
 walks with circulars and other rubbish; 
 and when carts collecting ashes and gar- 
 bage will do so early in the morning or 
 late at night, particularly on the princi- 
 pal streets. 
 
 Pilot, (1838). 607 Washington Street. 
 The first Roman-Catholic newspaper to be 
 established in Boston,— r having been 
 founded by the well-known bookseller, 
 Patrick Donahoe, the Pilot has become 
 
 the leading and most influential Catholic 
 
 f>aper in the United States, having a very 
 arge circulation throughout the country. 
 It is edited by John Boyle O'Reilly, one 
 of America's foremost young poets, whose 
 fame is daily extending. He gives the 
 Pilot a high literary tone, as would be 
 expected from a gentleman of his rare 
 scholarly tastes and genuine literary in- 
 stincts. The Pilot is read and enjoyed by 
 those of every religious belief. Its news 
 is carefully and thoroughly gathered, and 
 is reliable. Mr. O'Reilly has done much 
 to encourage poets and writers, and his 
 kindness will ever be cherished by them 
 with gratitude. 
 
 Plays. All plays that are published 
 may be had of Lee & Shepard, 10 Milk 
 
 Street. 
 
 Polls. The number of Polls in 1885 
 was 112,140. 
 
 Population of Boston. Tha 
 
 population of the city in 1780 was 25,000, 
 in 1822, 49,291; in 1880, 562,535; in 1886, 
 
 401,987. 
 
 Post, Bally. (1S31). 17 Milk Street. 
 This Democratic, commercial newspapei 
 — published every morning, — is issued 
 from the Post Building, erected on the site 
 of the house where Boston's great philos- 
 opher, patriot, and printer, Benjamin 
 Franklin, was born. Colonel Charles G. 
 Green was the founder of the Post, issu- 
 ing its first number November 9, 1831. 
 Charles G. Green, at the beginning of the 
 publication of the Post, gave it the char- 
 acteristics it has since retained in a great 
 degree. Frederick E. Goodrich, George 
 F. Emery, and Robert G. Fitch have, dur- 
 ing recent years, successively been its 
 editors, each conducting it with ability. 
 Among those who have contributed to 
 the Post, editorially and otherwise, have 
 been Richard Frothingham, George 
 Makepeace Towle, B. P. Shillaber (" Mrs. 
 Partington "), George F. Babbitt, and 
 Charles H. Hoyt. In 1886, Edwin F. Bacon, 
 a gentleman qualified in the highest 
 degree by scholarship, the most perfect 
 journalistic training and long experience, 
 assumed editorial charge of the Post, 
 which was never brighter, more readable 
 or newsy than at present. He is assisted 
 by a large and efficient staff. 
 
 Promenade Concerts. Prom- 
 enade — or as they are sometimes called 
 "walk-about" or "smoking" concerts — 
 are very popular in Boston. At the 
 Oriental Garden, Shawmut Avenue; Bos- 
 ton Music Hall Garden, Winter Street; 
 Summer Bazaar Garden, Mechanic Hall, 
 Huntington Avenue; and at Oakland 
 Garden, Blue Hill Avenue, these concerts 
 are given during the summer evenings.

 Public Pier. (1886). City Point, 
 South Boston. A broad pier extending 
 several hundred feet into Dorchester 
 Bay. A very popular resort in summer. 
 
 Quincy House. Brattle Street. 
 This is one of the largest and most popu- 
 lar hotels in the city. The present enter- 
 prising proprietors, J W. Johnson & Co., 
 leave nothing undone that can minister 
 to the wants of their numerous guasts. 
 Many clubs dine here. 
 
 Rapid Railway Trains. Al- 
 though the United States is considerably 
 behind England in the matter of fast 
 railway trains there is an attempt now 
 being made upon some of the lines run- 
 ning out of Boston to equal the fastest 
 trains in the world, if not to surpass 
 them. The " Flying Dude" train on the 
 Old Colony Railway runs every day ex- 
 cept Sunday between Boston and Woods 
 Holl, a distance of 72 miles in 1 hour, 
 40 minutes. The train leaves Boston at 
 3.10 p. m. The "Flying Yankee" train 
 also makes quick time. 
 
 Rate of Taxation. The rate of 
 taxation in 1885 was $12.80 on $1,000. 
 
 Recognition of Boston 
 Schools. The people of America have 
 generally conceded the palm of superi- 
 ority in public-school methods of educa- 
 tion to Boston, whose schools are not 
 only the best but the oldest in the coun- 
 try, the Boston Latin School having been 
 established in 1635 (five years after the 
 settlement of the city, and three years 
 previous to the founding of Harvard 
 University). The following is ai. extract 
 from the report made by Rev. James 
 Fraser, the English commissioner sent 
 by Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, to in- 
 vestigate the Common School system of 
 the United States, said report being pre- 
 sented to both houses of Parliament: 
 " Taking it for all in all, and as accom- 
 plishing the end at which it professes to 
 aim, the English High School of Boston 
 struck me as the model school of the 
 United States. I wish we had a hundred 
 such in England." This was not a hasty 
 estimate, but a decision arrived at after 
 the most searching examination of the 
 school-methods employed in the public 
 schools of the principal cities of the 
 United States, lasting for nearly a year. 
 This report, from so competent, unpreju- 
 diced and intelligent a judge as Bishop 
 Fraser, is a most valuable endorsement 
 of Boston's school system. 
 
 Record, Daily. A bright little 
 one-cent evening paper issued from the 
 Advertiser office. 
 
 Recovery of Lost Goods. 
 
 (1886). Lost and Found Bureau. 61 Brom- 
 
 field Street. A novel departure from the 
 old methods of finding or restoring lost 
 articles has been made by the establish- 
 ment, in a central quarter, of an office 
 for this express purpose. Through the 
 medium of this Bureau articles are re- 
 stored to their owners without going to 
 the trouble or expense of advertising. 
 Any person finding an article is earnestly 
 requested to leave information here con- 
 cerning it. Any one who has lost any 
 article may, by promptly reporting the 
 loss here, be very likely to be placed in the 
 way of recovering it. 
 
 Residences. Boston had 44,196 
 dwellings in 1886. 
 
 Revere House. (1847). Bowdoin 
 Square. This is one of the most noted 
 hotels of the city. It was named for Paul 
 Revere. It occupies the site of the former 
 residence of Kirk Boott, senior. It was 
 once managed by Paran Stevens, one of 
 the most notable of American landlords. 
 Among eminent personages who have 
 made the Revere their home while in 
 Boston have been the Prince of "Wales, 
 the Grand Duke Alexis, the Emperor Dom 
 Pedro, King Kalakaua; Presidents Fil- 
 more, Pierce, Johnson, and Grant; Gen- 
 erals Sherman, and Sheridan; Parepa- 
 Rosa, Therese Tietjens, Adelina Patti, 
 Christine Nilsson, and numerous others. 
 The Revere is now conducted by J. F. 
 Merrow & Co., who by their enterprise 
 and liberal management amply maintain 
 the old-time prestige of the house. The 
 hotel can accommodate 250 guests.

 Rivers. The Charles and Mystic 
 Rivers furnish fine facilities for boat- 
 ing. (See Boat Clubs). Longfellow has 
 immortalized the former beautiful stream 
 in his celebrated Poem: "To the River 
 
 Charles," from which we excerpt the fol- 
 lowing stanza: 
 " Thou hast taught me, Silent River! 
 
 Many a lesson, deep and long; 
 Thou hast been a generous giver; 
 
 I can give thee but a song! " 
 
 Roller-Skating. This form of 
 amusement originated in Paris in 1819. 
 It was the result of a theatrical expedient. 
 According to Herr Hock, the stage man- 
 ager, all who enjoy roller-skating are 
 indebted for their sport to the famous 
 composer, Meyerbeer. When his opera, 
 " The Prophet," was produced in Paris, it 
 was almost decided at one time to cut out 
 the skating-scene in the third act, as the 
 manager saw no way of converting the 
 stage into a sheet of ice. At this crisis 
 an ingenious stage hand came forward 
 and suggested that ordinary skates might 
 be placed upon wheels. The Opera House 
 in Paris was therefore the first roller- 
 skating rink in the world. The sport is 
 not now as popular as formerly in Boston, 
 although there are several rinks devoted 
 to it during the amusement season. 
 Among them are the following : Winslow's 
 Boston Rink, rear 62 St. James Avenue, 
 Back Bay; Olympian Rink, Mechanics 
 Building, Huntington Avenue, Back Bay; 
 Highland Rink, 754 Shawmut Avenue, 
 Roxbury District; Columbia Rink, 1194 
 Washington st. ; Argyle Rink, 888 Wash- 
 ington St.; Paris Rink, Paris St., E. B.; 
 Phenix Rink, Webster St., E. B.; Alham- 
 bra Rink, City Point, S. B. Several of 
 these Rinks are used for other purposes, 
 music-gardens, etc., during the summer. 
 
 Rooms. A very pleasant method of 
 living in Boston is to engage a furnished 
 room by the week, and take one's meals 
 at any of the numerous good restaurants. 
 This is an economical way of living, be- 
 sides the freedom it gives for lunching 
 or dining whenever and wherever one 
 chooses. Rooms to be let for lodgings 
 are advertised in the Transcript and 
 other daily papers. 
 
 Roses, Rhododendrons, etc. 
 
 Boston roses, rhododendrons, chrysanthe- 
 mums, lilies, smilax and other products 
 of the floral kingdom are so celebrated 
 all over the country that the merest refer- 
 ence to them is all that is necessary. 
 Boston supplies New York with an-enor- 
 mous number of roses, especially, which 
 seem to reach greater beauty and per- 
 fection in the suburbs of this city than 
 elsewhere in this part of the country. 
 
 Safe Deposit Vaults. House- 
 breaking has decreased considerably 
 since Public Safe Deposit Vaults have 
 been established, as many wealthy citi- 
 zens now keep valuables in these strong 
 fire-proof and constantly-guarded repos- 
 itories. (The vaults are connected with 
 the police stations by electric signals.) 
 The principal establishments are the

 (See Storage Warehouse.) 
 
 Sailors' Snug Harbor. (1852). 
 Quincy. (Germantown Village.) Eph- 
 raiin Doane, Superintendent. A chari- 
 table institution. Conditions for admis- 
 sion: The applicant must have sailed for 
 five years under the United States flag: 
 must not be an habitual drunkard; and 
 must not have any contagious disease. 
 About forty sailors are in the home at 
 present. Library of about 200 volumes.

 ton. Open to visitors at all times. (Take 
 Old Colony Railway to Quincy station, 
 then public carriage to the Home.) 
 
 Saturday Evening Gazette. 
 
 (1813). 2 Bromfield Street. Established 
 by William W. Clapp. As a Saturday 
 paper, the Gazette took the initiative in 
 issuing Sunday editions, eventually dis- 
 continuing the Saturday edition, and con- 
 centrating all its forces upon the Sunday 
 paper. The Gazette has become almost a 
 necessity to the cultivated classes of Bos- 
 ton and its environs. The editors since 
 its founder's time have been Col. W. W. 
 Clapp, (now manager of the Daily Jour- 
 nal), George B. Woods, Warren L. Brig- 
 ham, and Colonel Henry G. Parker, its 
 present editor and proprietor. Its con- 
 tributors have included many noted 
 writers, among them, B. P. Shillaber, 
 ('" Mrs. Partington "), George H. Monroe, 
 (" Templeton "), and others. The princi- 
 pal features of the Gazette, which Col. 
 Parker has developed into one of the most 
 successful newspaper properties in the 
 United States, are its able and incisive 
 editorials; its resume of society events of 
 the week; the dramatic and musical crit- 
 icisms of Benjamin E. Woolf, (who has 
 won celebrity as a dramatist and com- 
 poser and as a critic of great analytical 
 power and masterly diction); the weekly 
 sermon of Rev. James Freeman Clarke; 
 a sparkling New York letter written by 
 Miss Jeannette Gilder, ("Brunswick"); 
 together with able literary and art de- 
 partments. M. P. Curran, the accom- 
 plished journalist, has for some time been 
 connected with Col. Parker's corps of 
 writers. The Gazette occupies a peculiar 
 and enviable position among Boston's 
 favorite papers. 
 
 Shaw Kindergarten Schools. 
 
 A philanthropic Boston lady — Mrs. Pau- 
 line A. Shaw — has established thirty or 
 more free Kindergarten Schools in vari- 
 ous sections of the city, defraying the 
 entire expense herself. These Schools 
 enlist the services of fifty teachers. 
 Many poor children receive her bounty. 
 
 Smoking Restaurants, in 
 
 some of the hotels conducted on the 
 
 European system there are rooms as- 
 signed for the use of those gentlemen 
 who wish to light a cigar or cigarette at 
 table. Such smoking restaurants are to 
 be found at Young's, Parker's and other 
 hotels, and are known also as "coffee- 
 rooms," etc. 
 
 Soldiers' Home. (1882). Chelsea. 
 
 "For what he was and all he dared, 
 Remember him to-day ! " 
 is the motto adopted by the noble found- 
 ers of the Soldiers' Home in Massachu- 
 setts—Gen. Horace Binney Sargent, Gov. 
 Alexander H. Rice, Gov. Wm. Gaston, 
 Gen. Charles Devens, Capt. J. G. B. 
 Adams, and others — opened on Powder 
 Horn Hill, Chelsea, July 25, 1882. The 
 Home accommodates 111 soldiers, and it 
 now contains that complement. Condi- 
 tions for admission : The applicant must 
 be a resident of the State of Massachu- 
 setts; must have served in the Rebellion; 
 must be unable to earn his living; and 
 must not be in receipt of a pension. The 
 sum of |65,000 was raised for this grand 
 Institution at a Fair held in Mechanics' 
 Hall, Boston. Library, 2,500 vols. Here 
 is a most interesting Museum of War 
 Relics. Superintendent of the Soldiers' 
 Home, James A. Cunningham. Open to 
 visitors on every day except Sunday. 
 (Take WashingtonAvenue, Chelsea, horse- 
 car to the foot of Powder Horn Hill, and 
 a flight of 148 steps conducts to the Home). 
 Possibly it may be interesting to quote 
 here a table given by Francis W. Palfrey 
 in the "Memorial History of Boston," 
 relative to the representation of Massa- 
 chusetts in the Rebellion. He says, " In 
 consulting it, it must be remembered 
 that the32d, 33d and 35th regiments of 
 infantry did not go to the front till after 
 the 1st of July, 1862, when the fighting of 
 the Peninsula campaign, so called, was 
 ended; that the 54th and 55th regiments 
 of infantry were not organized till 1863, 
 nor the 56th till 1864. . . . The 19th, 
 though brigaded with the 20th, was absent 
 from several engagements in which the 
 20th took part in the first year of the 
 war, and engaged at least once when the 
 20th was not:—

 South Boston Canoe Club. 
 
 Canoeing; is becoming very popular, espec- 
 ially with ladies. It is easier than rowing, 
 and affords the best of exercise, develop- 
 ing the muscles of the shoulders and 
 chest. John Boyle O'Reilly is an ardent 
 lover of this pastime, and has done much 
 to make known its pleasures. The South 
 Boston Canoe Club is at the foot of K 
 Street. Joseph Frizzell is the Commodore 
 of the Club. 
 
 Suburban Old Houses, in the 
 
 immediate vicinity of Boston the anti- 
 quarian will find numerous houses the age 
 and history of which will prove interest- 
 ing. Among these are the Cradock House 
 at Medford (1634); the Deane Winthrop 
 House (about 1649) at Revere; Yeamans 
 House (1680) Revere; Floyd Mansion (1670) 
 Revere; and others.

 sionals, have homes in Boston.) 
 
 Summer Population of the 
 City. There is a summer population in 
 Boston (says the Traveller) of a very 
 distinctive" and interesting character. 
 Boston, as the gateway to the mountains 
 and the sea, has thereby all the transient 
 guests who are passing through to sum- 
 mer resorts, — the wealthy and aristo- 
 cratic visitors who, while in the city, so- 
 journ at the fashionable Back Bay hotel, 
 
 the Brunswick; and another distinctive 
 class, composed of students, teachers, 
 and other professional people, who come 
 to Boston for a summer's work as the 
 Mecca of learning and of good library 
 facilities. There is a large army of those 
 interesting summer guests who come to 
 Boston to combine vacation, sight-seeing, 
 and literary, or scientific, work. The 
 magnificent privileges offered by the 
 Public Library, the Athenreum (by the 
 courtesy of Mr. Cutter), and by the Har- 
 vard College library, attract a most val- 
 uable and interesting social element to 
 Boston. Students find that a summer 
 may be passed here in comparative inex- 
 pensiveness. It is by no means necessary 
 to board at a fashionable hotel in order 
 to enjoy Boston, nor to doom one's self 
 to the philistine horrors of a boarding- 
 house. The furnished rooms to let supply 
 a method of living that may be as exclu- 
 sive and independent as one pleases, and 
 as economical as his necessities indicate. 
 The Bostonians, too, who stay at home in 
 the summer find the city by no means de- 
 serted. The streets are thronged; the 
 open horse cars jingle merrily along; the 
 evening entertainments of light opera 
 and comedy are well attended ; and moon- 
 light sails down the bay or morning ex- 
 cursions to Nahant and Nantasket offer 
 their enchantments. It is out of the 
 question that a seaport city so far north 
 as Boston can ever be very warm, and 
 the days are for the most part Comfort- 
 able in temperature and filled with de- 
 lightful interests. 
 
 Sunday Courier. (1824). 309 
 
 Washington Street. It was founded as a 
 daily paper by Joseph T. Buckingham, 
 the first number having been issued 
 March 1, 1824. Mr. Buckingham retired 
 from the Courier June 24, 1848. Samuel 
 Kettell was its next editor, and at his 
 death Isaac W. Frye assumed the duties 
 of the position. Afterward, George 
 Lunt, the eminent author and poet, be- 
 came the editor. Joseph B. Morse fol- 
 lowed him. With the close of the year 
 1866, the daily edition was discontinued, 
 and a company was formed to issue a 
 Sunday edition, as at present published. 
 The editors have been Warren L. Brigham, 
 George Parsons Lathrop and Arlo Bates, 
 who now conducts it with a high degree 
 of literary and journalistic skill. The 
 Courier is noted as having been the 
 medium for a large number of eminent 
 writers. Among its original contribu- 
 tions have been James Russell Lowell's 
 notable " Biglow Papers," while such 
 distinguished writers as Daniel Webster, 
 Rufus Choate, Robert C. Winthrop, 
 Edward Everett, William H. Prescott, 
 George Ticknor and T. W. Parsons have 
 frequently contributed to its columns in 
 past years. For some time previous to 
 the publication of the Courier as a Sun- 
 day paper Joseph B. Travers was associa- 
 ted with its management, and is now its 
 
256 
 
 TAX-TRE 
 
 publisher and principal proprietor. Ho 
 has succeeded in sustaining the high 
 standard early established for the Courier. 
 Louis C. Elson is the musical critic. 
 Francis Chass writes the enjoyable dra- 
 m&tic feailleton, following the late Joseph 
 B. Bradford in that capacity. 
 
 Tax-payers, The number of Polls 
 
 in 1885 was 112,140. 
 
 Tennis. Boston is the only large 
 city in the country possessing a Tennis 
 Court. It is located on Buckingham 
 Street, near Dartmouth Street, and is in 
 charge of Thomas Pettitt, the celebrated 
 court-tennis champion of the world. 
 This court was built in 1875. 
 
 Times, Sunday. 2o Hawley Street. 
 One or. the brightest and most readable 
 weeklies of the city, is the Times, an old 
 established newspaper, issued on Sun- 
 day morning. Among its former editors 
 have been Robert C. Dunham, J. W. 
 Clarke, H. Irving Dillenback and others. 
 Mr. Dunham was for some years its pub- 
 lisher, issuing a daily edition. Mr. 
 Clarke's period was signalized by the 
 publication of a series of articles upon 
 the Moody and Sankey revival which at- 
 tracted wide attention. The Times is 
 now published by D. S. Knowlton, who is 
 also its editor. 'Special features of the 
 Sunday Times are its interesting ed- 
 itorials on current events, society mat- 
 ters, literary columns, news notes, dra- 
 matic and musical departments. Its 
 musical news and criticisms are ex- 
 tremely complete and well written. 
 
 Time. When it is 12 o'clock, noon, in 
 Boston, it is 44 14 ' past four o'clock p. 
 m., at Greenwich (England) observatory, 
 and 36 minutes past eleven o'clock, p. m. 
 at "Washington, D. C. 
 
 Transcript, Daily. (1830). 324 
 Washington Street. The oldest evening 
 paper in New England. The Transcript 
 is the only really literary newspaper in 
 America. It is conducted with a view to 
 gratifying the tastes of the cultured peo- 
 ple of Boston and suburbs, and that mis- 
 sion is successfully and admirably ful- 
 filled. Nothing finds a place in the columns 
 of the Transcript that cannot be read 
 aloud in the drawing-room. The move- 
 ments of prize-fighters and others of that 
 class are as utterly ignored as if they did 
 not exist. The Transcript, however, 
 gives all the real news, its facilities in 
 that regard being extensive, and the 
 very latest telegraphic dispatches are 
 always to be found in its various editions. 
 Among the editors of the paper during 
 its existence have been Lynde M. Walter, 
 Cornelia M. Walter, Epes Sargent, Daniel 
 N. Haskell, William A. Hovey, and Ed- 
 ward H. Clement, the presentable editor, 
 who assumed the duties of the position 
 
 in 1881. Mr. Clement's literary taste and 
 unerring journalistic instincts well fit 
 him for the duties of editor of a news- 
 paper of elevated tone. Eminent con- 
 tributors have regularly enriched the 
 columns of the Transcript — among them 
 E. P. Whipple, Starr King, E. H. Chapin, 
 and others — and the paper is to-day a 
 favorite medium for celebrated writers. 
 The musical department, in charge of 
 William F. Apthorp, a musician, critic, 
 and scholar of rare attainments, is widely 
 read. The dramatic column, conducted 
 by Francis H. Jenks, is no less interesting. 
 The art, literary, and other departments 
 are attractive features of this model 
 evening newspaper. 
 
 Traveller, Daily. (1845). 31 
 State Street. Roland Worthington <fe 
 Co. This popular evening paper was 
 established April 1, 1845, being the first 
 evening newspaper issued at two cents a 
 copy. For quite a period, so Puritanical 
 were the ideas of its first publishers, 
 Messrs. Upton, Ladd & Co., that they 
 absolutely refused to publish advertise- 
 ments of theatres. Col. Worthington, 
 to-day its chief proprietor and manager, 
 early identified with its interests, was 
 instrumental in bringing the Traveller 
 to the front as a newspaper, and it has 
 for years been recognized as a cleanly, 
 bright evening paper for the family. 
 The bulletins now so generally to be seen 
 in front of newspaper offices were intro- 
 duced at the Traveller office. The Sat- 
 urday edition is made especially attrac- 
 tive owing to its excellent literary feat- 
 ures, original stories and poems being 
 presented, and as it is a double sheet it 
 furnishes a very large amount of ex- 
 tremely readable matter. The special 
 features of the Traveller are a Review of 
 the Week, a Mail-Box department, etc. 
 The dramatic and musical columns are 
 especially inviting, while the literary 
 tone of the paper is high. The letters of 
 Mrs. John Sherwood (M. E. W. S.) attract 
 universal attention. The staff of the 
 Traveller is as follows : Reuben Crooke, 
 managing editor; William F. Whitcher, 
 leading editorial writer; Stephen O. Sher- 
 man, city editor; Edward J. French, 
 telegraph editor; Charles P. Bond, finan- 
 cial editor; Arthur Colburn, dramatic 
 editor; Fred T. Fuller, Legislative re- 
 porter; Lillian Whiting, literary and art 
 critic; Duncan McLean, shipping editor; 
 Benjamin A. Appleton, City Hall re- 
 porter; Thomas F. Anderson, special 
 writer. 
 
 Trees. Every stranger in Boston 
 desires to have pointed out the celebrated 
 Gink-go Tree (Ginkgo Biloba of Eastern 
 Asia). Oliver Wendell Holmes has made 
 it known throughout the land by an 
 allusion to it in " The Autocrat of the 
 Breakfast Table." Thousands of people 
 go every year to see this tree, citizens and 
 
TRE— YAL 
 
 257 
 
 strangers alike being interested in its 
 peculiar history, growth, and. foliage. 
 The tree is on the Beacon Street Mall of 
 the Common, nearly opposite the Joy 
 Street entrance. It is on the corner of 
 this Mall and the walk the farthest to the 
 left from Joy Street. It is plainly labelled, 
 and can therefore easily be found. This 
 tree was transplanted to this spot from 
 the garden of Gardiner Green, formerly 
 on Pemberton Sq. (1835). Other rare trees 
 on the Common — in addition to the grand 
 old American Elm ( Ultnus Americana) 
 the English Elm ( Ulmus Campestris) and 
 the Dutch Elm {Ulmus Montana) are the 
 Tulip Tree {Liriodedendron Tulipifera); 
 Red Oak {Quercus Rubra); Basswood 
 {Tilia Americana); European Ash {Frax- 
 inus Excelsior); Linden {Tilia Parvi- 
 folia); Sugar Maple {Acer Saccharinum); 
 Sycamore Maple {Psuedo Platanus); 
 European Ash {Fraxinus Excelsior); 
 Norway Maple {Acer JJasycarpum), etc. 
 On the Public Garden may be found the 
 Sophora {Sophora Japonica); English 
 Hawthorn {Crategus Oxyacantha); Ne- 
 gundo {Negundo Aceroides); Kentucky 
 Coffee Tree {Gymnocladus Canadensis); 
 Tamarix {Tamarix Gallica); Weeping 
 Dutch Elm ( Ulmus Montana), — (a most 
 remarkable Tree), in addition to fine 
 Weeping Willows, Horse Chestnuts, 
 Beeches, Silver Poplars, Maples, Tulip 
 Trees, etc. (See Arnold Arboretum and 
 Harvard Botanic Garden). 
 
 Iremont House. (1829). Tremont 
 Street, corner of Beacon Street. The 
 Tremont is one of the oldest of the present 
 hotels of Boston. It is conducted on the 
 American plan. Its table is noted for its 
 excellence, and its rooms are furnished 
 with great elegance. A tone of perfect 
 comfort characterizes the entire estab- 
 lishment, and one cannot find a more 
 desirable temporary or permanent hotel 
 residence in the city. The house is espe- 
 cially liked by English tourists, who find 
 about it many points of resemblance to 
 London hotels of the first class. Charles 
 Dickens wrote of it: "It has more gal- 
 leries, colonnades, piazzas and passages 
 than I can remember or the reader would 
 believe." Silas Gurney is the proprietor. 
 He has greatly modernized and improved 
 the hotel since he assumed control of it. 
 The Tremont is one of the great and 
 prosperous hotels of the land. It is kept 
 on the American plan. 
 
 Tuileries Balcony. The iron 
 balcony in front of the third story window 
 (on Hereford Street) of the new residence 
 of Hon. John F. Andrew (son of the " War- 
 Governor " John Albion Andrew) at the 
 corner of Commonwealth Avenue and 
 Hereford Street, was brought from the 
 Tuileries, Paris, France. 
 
 United States Hotel. (1826). 
 
 Beach Street, between Kingston and 
 
 Lincoln Streets. This house covers nearly 
 two acres of ground, and has about 500 
 rooms. Numerous families residing in 
 the country, or in the smaller cities, make 
 their winter home at the United States 
 Hotel. Its proximity to several of the 
 principal railway stations makes it at- 
 tractive to large numbers of travellers. 
 It has a good patronage from members of 
 the theatrical profession. It is kept on 
 the American plan. Hon. Tilly Haynes, 
 the present proprietor, manages it very 
 successfully. 
 
 United States Marine Hospi- 
 tal. (Northern Atlantic District, port 
 of Boston). (1800). Chelsea. Under rea- 
 sonable conditions strangers are permit- 
 ted to visit the hospital and grounds.

 junction of gapping and Water Streets. 
 A most interestSijg place to visit. There 
 are seventy buildings, of iron, stone, brick 
 and wood. It has an area of eighty-seven 
 and a half acres. On the land side is a 
 wall of granite twelve feet high, built in 
 1825-26. The steam-engineering building 
 has a chimney 240 feet high (higher than 
 Bunker Hill Monument, which is two 
 hundred and twenty feet). There is a 
 Naval Museum and Library, etc. The 
 following-named comprise the Executive 
 Board: Commodore, L. A. Kimberly;

 Valuation o£ Boston. Valua- 
 tion in 1823, $44,896,800; in 1885, $685,404,- 
 600, being an increase in 62 years of $640,- 
 507,800 ! Nothing more positive could be 
 adduced to demonstrate the gigantic 
 strides Boston is taking in wealth and 
 position among foremost cities. 
 
 Valuation of Leading Hotels. 
 
 There are eighty-eight public Hotels in 
 Boston, and one hundred and seventy- 
 eight family Hotels, or apartment houses.

 Visitors to Faneuil HalL In 
 
 1885 tliere were about 10,000 visitors to 
 Faneuil HalL 
 
 Walks. The favorite route for 
 pedestrians taking their "constitutional " 
 is from the corner of Tremont and Park 
 Streets across the Common and Public 
 Garden, through Commonwealth Avenue 
 Parkway to "West Chester Park Street, 
 then turning to the right to Beacon Street, 
 then to the left over the Milldam, through 
 Longwood to Brookiine. If a still longer 
 walk is desired one can keep on to Chest- 
 nut Hill. If already fatigued, street-cars, 
 at Coolidge Corner, run into the city every 
 few minutes. There are many other 
 pleasant walks in West Roxbury, Jamaica 
 Plain, Dorchester and Milton, and, in 
 fact, the suburbs of Boston furnish pleas- 
 ant and picturesque walks in almost every 
 direction. 
 
 "Weekly Commonwealth. 25 
 
 Bromfield Street. This popular weekly, 
 long identified with the late Hon. Charles 
 W. Slack, its editor and publisher for a 
 quarter of a century, and issued as an 
 organ for the discussion of anti-slavery 
 questions, woman's rights, moral reforms, 
 transcendentalism, art, literature, music, 
 drama, etc., at the death of its eminent 
 proprietor and editor (1885) was sold to 
 D. N. Thayer & Co. Mr. Thayer retiring 
 in 1886, the paper is now issued by the 
 Commonwealth Publishing Company, the 
 general features of the paper being re- 
 tained. In addition a society department 
 has been opened and several other 
 changes made. The sermons of Rev. J. 
 Kay Applebee, of the Parker Memorial 
 Church, are still continued. Musical, 
 dramatic, art, literary and social gossip 
 — local and suburban — make the Common- 
 wealth very attractive to many readers. 
 
 What Gives Boston its Com* 
 mercial Eanfe. The amount of 
 business transacted at the Boston Clear- 
 ing House is second to that of New York 
 only among the great cities of the coun- 
 try. The exchanges of the Boston House 
 amounted during 1885 to the following: 
 $3,515,700,000. The Philadelphia House 
 during the same period had the following 
 amount: $2,812,500,000. Chicago: $2,525,- 
 600,000. The amount at Paris was $813,- 
 200,000. Boston therefore surpassed Paris 
 to the extent of $2,702,500,000; exceeded 
 those of Chicago $990,100,000; and went 
 ahead of Philadelphia to the sum of $703,- 
 200,000. Such figures as these demon- 
 strate Boston's business importance, and 
 
 give her the proud position of the second 
 commercial city of the United States. - 
 
 Winter Population. The popu- 
 lation of Boston is largely augmented 
 during the Fall, Winter and Spring 
 months— or " the season" — by the com- 
 ing into town of numerous wealthy fam- 
 ilies residing in other cities in the State, 
 including Worcester, Springfield, Salem, 
 Lynn, Lowell, Lawrence and other places, 
 who take suites in the various elegant 
 apartment houses now so rapidly multi- 
 plying in all the fashionable sections of 
 Boston, or locate in the " swell " hotels 
 like the Vendome, Brunswick, Oxford, 
 Adams, Parker, Young's, etc. The Tre- 
 mont, Revere, Commonwealth, American, 
 United States and Quincy Houses also 
 receive their full quota of such parties. 
 By this means the varied great social, 
 dramatic, musical, literary and educa- 
 tional advantages of a residence in the 
 New England metropolis are gained in a 
 great degree, and a beneficial change is 
 experienced by those who flit to their 
 summer homes throughout the Common- 
 wealth when the flowers of May an- 
 nounce the approach of the "heated 
 term." 
 
 Women's Industrial and Ed- 
 ucational Union. (1877). 74 Boyl- 
 ston Street. For co-operation among 
 women. Founded by Dr. Harriet Clisby. 
 Here is a reading-room, an educational 
 department, and an industrial depart- 
 ment, where articles made by women are 
 for sale. The Union welcomes all women 
 to its rooms. The influence of this great 
 institution is powerful and far-reaching. 
 
 Wool. Boston has the largest wool 
 trade of any city in America. The houses 
 engaged in it centre chiefly about Fed- 
 eral Street, Mathews Street and vicinity. 
 Among the principal firms in this busi- 
 ness are Hilton, Weston & Co., Denny, 
 Rice & Co., Luce & Manning, Brown, 
 Steese & Clarke, Williams & Coburn, 
 Dewey, Gould & Dike, Nichols, Dupee & 
 Co., Hallowell & Coburn, and Chamberlin 
 Bros. & Co.

 Yachting. Those interested in 
 yachting will enjoy a visit to South Bos- 
 ton where the great club-houses of the 
 Boston Yacht Club and the South Boston 
 Yacht Club are located. The bay is al- 
 most covered with the fleets, present- 
 ing a beautiful sight. The victory 
 of the " Puritan " has given Boston the 
 right to feel a pride in its vast yachting 
 interests. 
 
 Young's Hotel. (1845). Court 
 Avenue, Court Square and Court Street. 
 
 Established by George Young in 1845, 
 succeeding Taft's noted Coffee-House, 
 Young's Hotel has become celebrated as 
 a first-class hotel. It is kept on the 
 European plan. The present proprietor, 
 J. Reed Whipple, is one of the most 
 enterprising young landlords in the coun- 
 try. The house has been enlarged from 
 time to time until it has become one of 
 the largest in the city. It is especially 
 noted for the excellence of its cuisine. 
 It has immense resources for furnishing 
 dinners, its three main dining-halls, and 
 its two long lunch-counters accommodat- 
 ing hundreds of persons simultaneously. 
 The ladies' cafe is fitted up sumptuously, 
 its decorations being most artistically- 
 harmonious and striking in style. The 
 sleeping-rooms are elegantly furnished.^ 
 Young's is a favorite hotel with clubs, 
 numerous organizations dining there 
 regularly. Rooms are to be had for $1 
 per day upward, according to location. 
 
 UNITED STATES SIGNAL SERVICE. 
 
 Signal Service. The following 
 code of signals was adopted by the 
 weather bureau May 1, 1886. The indica- 
 tions are expressed by a system of flags, 
 raised upon the United States Govern- 
 ment Building, Post-Office Square. Flags 
 are hoisted at 7.30 a. m., daily, the weather 
 forecasts indicated by them covering a 
 period of twenty-four hours. Flags 
 should be read from the top of the staff 
 downward. The signals adopted for the 
 approach of wind storms are of three 
 kinds, viz: 
 
 1. The cautionary signal. 
 
 2. The direction signal. 
 
 3. The on-shore signal. 
 
 The cautionary day signal is a square 
 red flag with a black square centre, and a 
 red light at night. It is hoisted when a 
 wind with a velocity of thirty-five miles 
 
 Eer hour or over is expected within one 
 undred miles of the station where dis- 
 played. This velocity is considered dan- 
 gerous to all classes of shipping. 
 
 The direction signal is a square flag 
 composed of two horizontal stripes, one 
 black and one white. It is never display- 
 
 ed except with the cautionary signal flag, 
 and indicates from what quadrant the 
 dangerous wind is expected. For this 
 purpose the compass is divided into north- 
 east, southeast, southwest and northwest 
 quadrants. There is no night signal for 
 the direction signal. 
 
 The on-shore signal is a square flag 
 composed of four small squares, two 
 white and two black, and is only display- 
 ed on lake stations. The direction signal 
 will not be hoisted with the on-shore. 
 
 In addition to these signals the obser- 
 vers will be supplied by wire from Wash- 
 ington with information at intervals 
 during the display. 
 
 The direction of the wind will be repre- 
 sented as follows : The black bar above 
 the white flying over the cautionary sig- 
 nal indicates a gale blowing from the 
 northeast, .he white bar above the black 
 flying ove the cautionary indicates a 
 southeast gale. The black bar above the 
 white flying under the cautionary indi- 
 cates a northwest gale, and the white bar 
 above the black flying under the caution- 
 ary signal indicates a southwest gale.

 BAN-SAV 
 
 BANKS AND BANKING, 
 
 Banks. The banking: capital of Bos- 
 ton is enormous, this city ranking second 
 to New York only in banking interests. 
 Boston is the richest city of its size in 
 the United States. At the close of the 
 Revolutionary War, with a population of 
 19,000, this city had two banks, one of 
 them being then ten years old, in addi- 
 tion to a branch of the United States 
 Bank. The number of banks in Boston 
 at the present time is 84 (17 of which are 
 savings banks). Following are the names 
 and locations of the banks, which have 
 an aggregate capital of about sixty mil- 
 lions of dollars : 
 
 Atlantic Nat., 1828, Kflby St., cor. Doane. 
 
 Atlas Nat., 1833, 8 Sears Building. 
 
 Bank of Deposit, 84 Devonshire st.

 Davis, J. W. 169 Tremont Street. 
 Mr. Davis is one of the most successful 
 teachers of vocal music in the city. He 
 has a large number of pupils, represent- 
 ing various sections of the country, where 
 his reputation as an able and thorough 
 teacher has already gone. His method is 
 an admirable one, and is well calculated 
 to develop the voice to the full extent of 
 its natural resources. 
 
 De Angelis, E. M., Mine. 149A 
 
 Tremont Street. Among the eminent 
 vocal teachers who make Boston their 
 home is Mme. E. M. De Angelis. She 
 was born in Florence, Italy j studied with 
 Lamperti, the elder, Garcia, Marchesi; 
 has sung in opera, etc. She located in 
 Boston aoout fifteen years ago. Some of 
 her pupils have won high renown on the 
 operatic stage. Among her recent re- 
 markably promising pupils is Miss Mattie 
 Colby, whose success cannot fail to rer 
 fleet great credit upon her accomplished 
 teacher. 
 
 Garrett, Mme. (See Colleges and 
 Schools.) 
 
 Hall, Edna, Mme. 206 Dart- 
 mouth Street. Mme. Hall occupies an 
 enviable position among the foremost 
 vocal teachers in the country. If the 
 true test of an instructor's success be to 
 measure the results accomplished with 
 her pupils, Mme. Hall has achieved a tri- 
 umph. Pupils come to her from every 
 quarter, drawn hither by the best adver- 
 tisement possible — that of the advance- 
 ment of her pupils, which has been so 
 marked as to excite wonder in the minds 
 of those who have been witnesses of the 
 progress made. Mme. Hall teaches the 
 over-tone method, which is the basis of 
 her success. 
 
 Osgood, George L. 149 A Tre- 
 mont Street. Mr. Osgood has had con- 
 ferred upon him the rare honor of having 
 been enrolled among the distinguished 
 pupils of Lamperti, of whose excellent 
 method Mr. Osgood is so conspicuously 
 successful an exponent. He has done 
 much toward moulding a correct musical 
 taste in America. His ability has not 
 only been demonstrated with his private 
 pupils, but his masterly training of the 
 Boylston Club, the most artistic vocal 
 organization m the country, has been as 
 eminently successful. 
 
 Fennel 1, A. E. 157 Tremont Street. 
 Mr. Pennell received a thorough course 
 of training in Italy and London, and has 
 had an extended experience in oratorio 
 and church choir service, fitting him as a 
 teacher of ability, taste and finish. His 
 pupils receive a certain style, indicative 
 of genuine artistic culture, which is 
 easily distinguishable. His services may 
 be had for concert, oratorio, etc. 
 
 Van Buren, Jeannette. (See 
 Colleges and Schools). 
 
 "Wheeler, J. Harry, whose early 
 instruction was received from Garcia, of 
 London, and Lamperti, of Milan, has had 
 upwards of twenty years of experience as 
 a voice teacher, and is undeniably among 
 the most successful. He is instructor in 
 English and Italian singing at the New 
 England Conservatory of Music, where he 
 has taught for the past eleven years. He 
 is the author of a valuable work on 
 " Vocal Physiology and Singing," etc. 
 Many of his pupils have become well- 
 known as teachers, church and operatic 
 artists. 
 
 Wheeler, Lyman W. 161 Tre- 
 mont Street. Mr. Wheeler's success as a 
 teacher of vocal music would be consid- 
 ered phenomenal did not one know that 
 the results he obtains are simply the nat- 
 ural consequence of the legitimate means 
 employed. Many of the pupils of this 
 eminent teacher adorn the operatic and 
 concert stage. The success of Miss Jennie 
 Sargent abroad is a recent tribute to Mr. 
 Wheeler's skill. He invites all interested 
 to call upon him on Mondays and Thurs- 
 days, between 2 and 3 p. m., for free advice 
 and information. 
 
BAN-IVE 
 
 MUSICAL INTERESTS. 
 
 Band Music Arranged. Music 
 for bands and orchestras is arranged by- 
 George Lowell Tracy, City Hotel, Chelsea. 
 
 Berry, H. W. 592 Washington 
 Street. Mr. Berry is the sole general 
 agent for the celebrated Kranich & Bach 
 grand, square and upright Pianofortes, 
 as well as for the Prescott Parlor Organs. 
 The Kranich & Bach Pianofortes received 
 the highest award of the United States 
 Centennial Exhibition, 1876, for " strong- 
 est and pleasing tone and excellence of 
 workmanship." Mr. Berry also deals 
 largely in second-hand pianofortes. 
 
 Boston Piano Company. 18 
 
 Essex Street, near Washington Street. 
 This Company, E. Wilson & Co., proprie- 
 tors, are manufacturers of square and 
 upright pianofortes. For the past thirty 
 years, they have been engaged in the 
 manufacture of pianoforte hardware, an 
 important element in the making of these 
 instruments. The new mahogany uprights 
 made by this Company are attracting 
 wide attention. 
 
 Boston Piano Stool Co. 576 
 
 Washington Street. E. H. Loomis is 
 agent for Joshua Briggs' piano stools and 
 ottomans, which have found so much 
 favor with musicians. These stools are 
 so thoroughly constructed, as well as or- 
 namental, that they are being adopted 
 by principals of conservatories, music 
 schools, seminaries and colleges, as well 
 as in private families. 
 
 Briggs, W. H. 576 Washington 
 Street. As the real merits of the Calen- 
 berg & Vaupel Pianofortes become known 
 to the public of Boston and New England 
 their popularity increases. These super- 
 ior instruments are rapidly coming to the 
 front at first-class concerts, their quality 
 of tone, combined with great brilliancy, 
 rendering them extremely popular with 
 artists as well as with audiences. 
 
 Chickering & Sons' Piano- 
 fortes. (1823). 152 Tremont Street. 
 This famous Pianoforte house, the oldest 
 in the United States, has, since its estab- 
 lishment sixth-three years ago, manu- 
 factured 72,500 instruments, which have 
 sung or are still singing the praises of 
 the admirable quality and volume of tone, 
 the brilliancy, the elastic touch, the ex- 
 quisite beauty and finish of the mechan- 
 ical environment of "the soul of the 
 instrument." The name of this firm 
 upon a Pianoforte guarantees its excel- 
 lence in every particular. In proposing 
 the health of the founder of this great 
 
 house, it was given: "Jonas Chickering! 
 like his own pianos: Upright, Grand, 
 Square." 
 
 Estey Organ and Piano Com- 
 pany. 159 Tremont Street. This fam- 
 ous musical instrument manufacturing 
 company was founded in 1846, and since 
 that time, during a period of forty years, 
 its organs have been sent to almost every 
 section of the globe. At Brattleborough, 
 Vt., it has twelve finely-equipped 
 factories, employing 600 hands. The Es- 
 tey trade-mark is a guaranty of superior 
 workmanship in every department of the 
 organs or pianos manufactured by them. 
 Beauty of tone, power, durability; in 
 short, a combination of musical and 
 mechanical elements forming a perfect 
 instrument. The warerooms in Boston 
 are elegantly furnished, and are located 
 opposite the Common, in an exceedingly 
 pleasant and accessible quarter. 
 
 Fairbanks & Cole. 121 Court 
 Street. These renowned teachers of the 
 banjo (owing to the fashionable " craze" 
 over that instrument, which bids fair to 
 become permanent) are as busy as it is 
 possible to be with pupils. As their in- 
 struments are manufactured under their 
 personal supervision, and as they use 
 their own instruction books, pupils have 
 especial advantages. Their rooms are 
 among the most interesting places to visit 
 in the city. Their latest innovation, 
 41 Walker's Wrist-Rest," is a new inven- 
 tion that has already met with the hearty 
 approval of banjo-players. It is destined 
 to come into general use everywhere. 
 
 Hallet & Davis Piano Manu- 
 facturing Company. 167 Tremont 
 Street. The instruments of this firm 
 have long been noted for purity and ex- 
 tent of tone, perfection of action, and 
 especially for the durable quality of 
 materials used and the excellence and 
 finish of their workmanship. Their Pat- 
 ent Agraffe Bridge, used in the manufac- 
 ture of all their pianofortes, relieves the 
 great downward pressure of the strings 
 upon the sounding board, and preserves 
 the full, round tone of the instrument, 
 holding it in tune, also, for a long period. 
 Many eminent virtuosi use the Hallet & 
 Davis Pianoforte at their concerts. The 
 house has been awarded over sixty first 
 prizes. 
 
 I vers & Pond Pianoforte 
 
 Company. 181 and 182 Tremont Street. 
 Visitors to Boston from New England, 
 the Western and Southern States, are 
 attracted to the ware-rooms of Messrs. 
 Ivers & Pond, whose Pianofortes are now 
 
LOU— TTL 
 
 267 
 
 so favorably known throughout the length 
 and breadth of the country. Perfection 
 of tone, singing quality and mechanical 
 excellence are the strong points of these 
 fine instruments. Mr. W. H. Ivers, of 
 this noted firm, was for a quarter of a 
 century connected with the old house of 
 Chickering & Sons, an experience which 
 has fittedjuim to superintend the perfect 
 construction of a pianoforte. Over eighty 
 of the Ivers & Pond Pianofortes have 
 been purchased for the New England 
 Conservatory of Music, and are now in 
 daily use there. 
 
 I.ouis H. Boss & Go's Music 
 Store. 3 West Street. 
 
 McPhail & Go's Piano- 
 fortes. 630 Washington Street, corner 
 of Essex Street. Eminent musicians, 
 including John K. Paine, Carl Zerrahn, 
 Geo. Henschel, Carlyle Petersilea, W. H. 
 Schultze, and many others, have given 
 emphatic testimonials to the excellence 
 of the Pianofortes manufactured by Mc- 
 Phail & Co. That all this praise is war- 
 ranted, one can have no hesitation in 
 affirming. Among the styles manufac- 
 tured by this far-famed house is the Im- 
 perial Upright,which has a beautiful sing- 
 ing quality, a most ductile action, and a 
 thoroughness of tone and finish of me- 
 chanical construction so noticeable in all 
 the instruments coming from this estab- 
 lishment. 
 
 New England Organ Co. 1299 
 "Washington Street. Organized in 1871, 
 this Company rapidly came to the front, 
 owing to the excellence of its instru- 
 ment. These organs, exhibited at the 
 Mass. Charitable Mechanics Exhibition 
 of 1878 in competition with instruments 
 of older and famous makers, received 
 the award of a first gold medal. The or- 
 gans manufactured hy this Company, of 
 which George T. McLaughlin is the pro- 
 prietor, are distingushed for pure, even 
 tone, volume, durability, and beauty. 
 The warerooms are well worthy of a visit 
 from strangers interested in the growing 
 musieal importance of the city. 
 
 New England Piano Com- 
 
 ?iany. 32 George Street, Poxbury. 
 he manufactory of this company is an 
 immense structure seven stories in 
 height, the lot of land being 225 feet long 
 and 150 feet wide. Here are located the 
 warerooms and also the main office of the 
 company, Thomas F. Scanlan, proprietor. 
 Mr. Scanlan has long been identified 
 with the musical instrument manufactur- 
 ing interests of Boston, and his enterprise 
 and ability are well demonstrated in the 
 magnitude and excellence of the work now 
 being accomplished under his direction. 
 The New England Piano has already been 
 approved by thousands of patrons for its 
 many fine qualities, as well as for the 
 reasonable price at which it is sold. 
 
 Normal Music Course. The 
 
 attention of musical educators through- 
 out the country is being attracted to the 
 Normal Music Course, — by those eminent 
 musicians and teachers, John W. Tufts 
 and H. E. Holt, — a progressive series of 
 music readers, charts, etc., which has al- 
 ready been adopted in the public schools 
 of New York, Brooklyn and other large 
 cities. For its simple, practical and 
 easily-comprehended features this Course 
 must eventually come into general use. 
 It receives hearty endorsement from the 
 most eminent instructors. Edgar O. 
 Silver, 30 Franklin Street, is general 
 agent. 
 
 Old and New Violins. One of 
 
 the foremost makers and repairers of 
 violins in this or any other country is 
 L. O. Grover, of this city; who, although 
 modestly and faithfully fulfilling the 
 duties of his avocation at his home, 27 
 Union Park, is well known through the 
 excellence of his work upon the " king of 
 instruments" by the owners of some of 
 the most valuable violins in the world, 
 which have been entrusted to Mr. Grover's 
 masterly hands for repairs. Violins are 
 forwarded to him from every section of 
 the country, and are returned in perfect 
 condition. Mr. Grover's wonderful abil- 
 ity, taste, judgment and enthusiasm so de- 
 lighted Ole Bull that the great violinist 
 not only gave him his rare instruments to 
 adjust, but imparted to him information 
 of incalculable advantage relative to vio- 
 lin-making. 
 
 Oliver Ditson & Co., the largest 
 music dealers in America, and probably 
 in the world, are at 449 and 451 Washing- 
 ton Street. They publish the Musical

 mental music to the value of one dollar 
 in every number, and which is sold for 
 ten cents by all newsdealers in the coun- 
 try. 
 
 Smith American Organ and 
 Piano Company. 531 Tremont 
 Street. This distinguished house has for 
 many years stood in the foremost rank

 facturers, and has largely contributed to 
 the fame of Boston as a great musical 
 centre. Among the, recent instruments 
 introduced by this firm is the Connois- 
 seur Organ, constructed on a new and 
 original principle, which is attracting 
 attention from musical people every- 
 where. The characteristics of the Smith 
 American Organs are quality of tone, 
 design, workmanship and ease of action. 
 The famous Steck & Co's Pianofortes 
 are sold by this company. 
 
 Tyler, E. W. 178 Tremont Street. 
 The celebrated Wm. Knabe & Co. Piano- 
 fortes are becoming as popular here as 
 they have for some time been in other 
 large cities, owing to the excellence of 
 
268 
 
 VOS-POR 
 
 the instruments combined with Mr. Ty- 
 ler's earnest and well-directed efforts to 
 bring their superior merits properly be- 
 fore the public. The Knabe ranks among 
 the few really great pianofortes of the 
 world. It has long been a favorite with 
 numerous eminent solo pianists, who are 
 charmed with its brilliancy, power and 
 richness of tone. Only the best materials 
 are used in the construction of these fine 
 instruments, a full line of which may be 
 seen at Mr. Tyler's easily-accessible and 
 elegant warerooms. He is also agent for 
 the noted Christie Upright Pianofortes, 
 as well as for the Clough & Warren Or- 
 gans.

 • was originally established by James W. 
 Vose, the present head of the firm, thirty- 
 five years ago, since which time nineteen

 tune, these Pianofortes have attracted 
 and held the attention of the musical 
 public of the country.

 fortes. (1843). 175 A Tremont Street.

 construction of these instruments, the 
 artistic and finished mechanical work- 
 manship, combined with purity of tone, 
 brilliancy and volume, complete a piano- 
 forte that is a delight to musicians and 
 music-lovers.

 factures of this Company. 
 
 Cunard lane. The first steamship 
 of the Cunard Line to arrive at Boston 
 was the "Brittania," which left Liver- 
 pool July 4, 1840. She was 14 davs and 8 
 hours in making the passage. The Cunard 
 steamships were run regularly to Boston 
 from that time. (It was not'until eight 
 years after that the line began to run 
 steamships to New York also). The pres- 
 ent fleet between Boston and Liverpool 
 includes the famous " Gallia," the " Both- 
 nia," " Catalonia," " Scythia," " Cepha- 
 lonia," "Pavonia," etc. The popularity 
 of the Boston line is increasing every 
 year. 
 
 Curtis Davis & Co. are noted 
 throughout the country for their manu- 
 factures of pure soaps, among which are 
 the well-known " Welcome " ;,nd " Curtis 
 Davis " makes. The house has a national 
 reputation for the excellence of its goods. 
 
 Harvey, S. B., 6 Winter Street, 
 has an original method of dress-cutting, 
 known as the " Ladies Delight System," 
 hy which ladies are enabled to cut their 
 own dresses. The system is being adopted 
 largely in seminaries and ladies' colleges. 
 
 Hats and Furs. George N. Bige- 
 low & Co., 407 Washington Street, furnish 
 many of the young ladies attending the 
 various conservatories, seminaries, etc., 
 with riding hats, furs, umbrellas and 
 other goods, as well as supplying young 
 men students with hats, gloves, etc. The 
 firm is noted for the excellence of its 
 goods and for moderate prices. 
 
 Hotel Nantasket. Nantasket 
 Beach, Boston Harbor. No seaside hotel 
 in the country eclipses this in attractive- 
 ness or popularity. It is a grand struct- 
 ure, admirably fitted for the accommoda- 
 tion of a large number of guests; its 
 rooms are finely furnished; its table is 
 
HYG-SAR 
 
 271 
 
 celebrated for its excellence, and every 
 appointment of the hotel is maintained 
 at the high standard required by the 
 best class of the public who are seeking 
 rest and recreation. Among the princi- 
 pal attractions are concerts given every 
 afternoon and evening by Reeves' Band; 
 billiards, boating, fishing, bathing, driv- 
 ing, etc. Messrs. Russell & Sturgis — 
 also proprietors of the Rockland House 
 — conduct the Hotel Nantasket. (See 
 Nantasket.) 
 
 Hygienic Dress. Mrs. Olivia P. 
 Flynt is the inventor and manufacturer 
 of the perfect weather protector as well 
 as of improved hygienic under-dress for 
 women and children. Dress reform for 
 ladies, according to one of the eminent 
 men of the day, is one of the great ques- 
 tions of the time, and it is a well estab- 
 lished fact that Mrs. Flynt actually pre- 
 ceded the organization of the Dress 
 Reform Committee by a year or more, as 
 her first patent was granted in 1873. 
 Mrs. Flynt was awarded medals confer- 
 ing highest honors by the Centennial Ex- 
 hibition, 1876, and by the Mass. Chari- 
 table Mechanics Exhibition, 1881. Ladies 
 will find much to interest them, at Mrs. 
 Flynt's, 319 Columbus Avenue. She has 
 published an extremely interesting and 
 valuable " Manual." 
 
 Immigrants. The number of im 
 migrants landed at Boston during the 
 year ending June 30, 1885, was 25,660, 
 making this city the second port of entry 
 in the United States. 
 
 Ladies' Shoe Store. Boston does 
 not possess a more attractive store than 
 that of Messrs. Pentland & Holmes, at 
 505 Washington Street. It is exquisitely 
 finished in polished cherry,with marquet- 
 ry floor and artistic gas fixtures, deco- 
 rations, show-cases, etc. The excellence 
 of the store is but an indication of the 
 high grade of goods which these gentle- 
 men keep on hand, and which their long 
 connection with Messrs. H. H. Tuttle & 
 Company has determined as the kind of 
 goods most appreciated by patrons. 
 Dealing exclusively in ladies boots and 
 shoes, and only in the very best of these, 
 customers can always rely on having 
 their wants abundantly and satisfactorily 
 provided for and can be sure that all 
 
 foods purchased here are of the best to 
 e found in the city. 
 
 Murdock Free Hospital for 
 Women. One of the greatest of the 
 philanthropic institutions of Boston (or 
 of the world, for that matter), is the 
 Murdock Free Hospital for Women. One 
 who has not heard, from the grateful lips 
 of some poor, suffering woman, words of 
 
 E raise for the relief, if not cure, she 
 as found here, cannot possibly realize 
 how this movement, of such momentous 
 
 influences, goes quietly on, executing its 
 health-giving mission. The new Hospi- 
 tal, now being erected on Huntington Av- 
 enue, is to be one of the largest and most 
 complete buildings of the kind in the 
 world. One of its special features is the 
 arrangement of the roof for a perfect 
 system of sun-baths. The effects of Mur- 
 dock's Liquid Food, used by patients, 
 have been little less than miraculous. 
 Until the new building is finished, the 
 surgical staff of the Hospital are in 
 daily attendance at 30 Leverett Street 
 (except on Saturday) to examine patients. 
 
 New Method of Dentistry. 
 
 One of the greatest boons to mankind 
 was the introduction of the now cele- 
 brated Sheffield Tooth Crown System of 
 replacing teeth. The eminent dental 
 practitioner, Dr. W. A. Lyon, 157 Boylston 
 Street, has succeeded in establishing this 
 system in the favor of the most prominent 
 citizens of Boston and New England, who 
 have testified to the superiority of the 
 method over their own signatures. Dr. 
 Lyon discards entirely the cumbersome 
 plates formerly in use, and succeeds in 
 placing teeth in natural position, giving 
 them all the beauty and service of those 
 lost by accident or decay. Those inter- 
 ested should seek his advice, for which 
 no charge is made, and read the descrip- 
 tive pamphlet, furnished free. 
 
 Oak Grove Farm. In these days 
 of adulterations of food products it is 
 gratifying to know that the milk, butter, 
 etc.,, furnished from the celebrated Oak 
 Grove Farm, at Millis, are absolutely 
 pure and healthful. City residents may 
 enjoy these important articles of food 
 equally with those whose homes are amid 
 the green meadows and breezy hills of 
 the country, owing to the system arranged 
 by the proprietor of this farm, full par- 
 ticulars of which are given in another 
 department of this work. 
 
 Park House. This noted English 
 chop-house was established in 1842 by 
 Thomas D. Park — father of W. D. Park, 
 one of the present proprietors — on what 
 is now a part of the site of the Post Of- 
 fice Building. In 1848 it was removed to 
 Morton Place, Milk Street, thence to 
 Central Court. In 1874 it was opened in 
 its present location. It is elegantly fitted 
 up, and has the reputation among for- 
 eigners and travelled Americans of being 
 the best chop-house on the genuine Eng- 
 lish plan in the United States. 
 
 Perry's Back Bay Real Es- 
 tate Agency. 160 Boylston Street. 
 John F. Perry. 
 
 Sargent Steam Laundry. 
 
 Among the useful institutions of the 
 city is this well-known steam laundry 
 
272 
 
 VIO-VAL 
 
 and dye-house, at 1862 "Washington Street, 
 which has won a reputation for the very- 
 best of work at most reasonable prices. 
 
 Violin Maker and Repairer. 
 
 D. B. Rockwell has made an extended 
 reputation as a maker and repairer of 
 violins. He graduates old violins to a 
 musical voice. The new Artist Violin, of 
 his own make, is considered by competent 
 judges, to rank with the best violins made. 
 His rooms are at 88 Court Street. 
 
 Waters, Geo. F., Dr. 6 Beacon 
 Street. One of the most perfect pro- 
 moters of health ever devised is the flesh 
 brush invented by Dr. Waters. It has 
 been adopted by many eminent physi- 
 cians and other professional gentlemen, 
 and is finding great favor among princi- 
 
 pals and pupils of colleges, seminaries 
 and schools. A single trial will convince 
 the most skeptical of its great efficacy. 
 
 Weeman, Orin. 544 Washington 
 St. Mr. W T eeman has for many years stood 
 high among the violin makers and repair- 
 ers of the country. Eminent artists send 
 their violins to him for repairs, confident 
 of having them put into the most perfect 
 condition. Mr. Weeman is recognized as 
 a master of his art. 
 
 Wyman & Seaverns, 6 Winter 
 Street, dealers in watches and diamonds, 
 have a large and rapidly-increasing pat- 
 ronage from those who desire to pur- 
 chase the best articles at the most reason- 
 able prices. 
 
 .Rapid Increase in Valua- 
 tion. In a paper read before the Bos- 
 tonian Society, Alexander S. Porter has 
 given some surprising statistics regard- 
 ing the increase of the valuation of cer- 
 tain estates in the city, as follows: The 
 valuation of the property now No. 23 
 Court Street, for example, was shown to 
 be $12,000 in 1800 and $180,000 in 1880; of 
 the Sears Building estate, at the corner 
 of Washington and Court Streets $24,200 
 in 1820, and of the land alone in 1880, 
 $490,000; Briggs estate, corner, of Wash- 
 ington and School Streets, in 1800, $10,- 
 400, in 1880, $190,000; " Old Corner Book- 
 store," in 1800, $7,000, in 1880, $140,000; 
 Tremont House estate in 1820, $190,000, 
 in 1880, $400,000; estate corner of Wash- 
 ington and Winter Streets, in 1800, $2,400, 
 in 1840, $22,600, in 1880, $350,000, in 1885, 
 $436,000. In round millions, the increase 
 of valuation of the city of Boston is as 
 follows: In 1800, $6,000,000; in 1820, $21,- 
 000,000; in 1840, $60,000,000; in 1860, $163,- 
 000,000; in 1875, $411,000,000; in 1886, $700,- 
 000,000. 
 
 Toboganning. Boston was the 
 first city in the United States to introduce 
 the Canadian sport of toboganning. The 
 Brookline Tobogganing Club is the largest 
 in the vicinity. 
 
 Valuation of Theatres and 
 Halls. According to the books at the 
 Assessors' office, the following are the 
 valuations of various theatres, halls, etc., 
 of Boston. Of course these figures are 
 no criterion as to the value of these 
 places of entertainment as theatrical 
 property, as the Boston Theatre — one of 
 the best and most successful theatres in 
 the world — is located upon land assessed 
 for less than that upon which Horticul- 
 tural Hall stands, owing to the site of the 
 latter upon the corner of two business 
 streets.

 may he consulted. 
 
 Cogswell Fountain. We have 
 not included this affair among the works 
 of art in our department devoted to 
 " Statues and Monuments," as it is by no 
 means a work of art. It is a caricature 
 of art, and aside from its useful function 
 of supplying iced water to thirsty throngs, 
 it has no claim to mention. It was erected 
 on the Common, near the "West Street 
 
 {fate, in 1884. The structure bears the fol- 
 owing inscriptions: "Presented by Dr. 
 Henry D. Cogswell,of San Francisco, Cal." 
 "Welcome." "Temperance." "Faith." 
 
 Hope." " Charity. 
 
 Copley Square. A beautiful tri- 
 angular space at the intersection of 
 Huntington Avenue, Dartmouth and 
 Boylston Streets. It is sometimes alluded 
 to as Trinity Triangle. It is at the new 
 West End or Back Bay. Fronting the 
 place are a group of some of the grand- 
 est buildings in the city, including the 
 Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Trinity 
 Church and new Old South Church. (The 
 spire of the latter has a slight deviation 
 from the perpendicular, and is sometimes 
 called " The Leaning Tower of Boston.") 
 The new Boston Public Library Building 
 is being erected on the Dartmouth Street 
 side of Copley Square. The far-famed 
 Chauncy Hall School fronts this square, 
 as do the Hotels Bristol and Cluny. Only 
 a few steps away, on Dartmouth Street, 
 is the Cowles Art School, and the new 
 Studio Building, and on the same street 
 are the Boston Art Club Building, the 
 neAv Victoria Hotel and the Hotel Ven- 
 dome, while a short distance down Boyl- 
 ston Street are the Institute of Tech- 
 nology Buildings, the Hotel Brunswick, 
 the Boston Natural History Society 
 Building, Association Hall, the Berkeley 
 School and the Hotel Berkeley. Just 
 above the square, on Boylston Street, are 
 the Harvard Medical School, the Hotel 
 Kensington, etc., and on Huntington 
 Avenue the Hotels Oxford, Huntington 
 and Copley. (Take any Back Bay, Hunt- 
 ington av., West End or Dartmouth St. 
 car.) 
 
 Old Cemeteries. In the very 
 heart of the city are two old cemeteries. 
 King's Chapel Burying-ground dates from 
 1630. It is on Tremont Street, between 
 School and Court Streets. Here were 
 buried John Winthrop. Lady Andros, 
 John Cotton, Mary Chilton, and others 
 well known in the early history of the 
 city. The following is taken from tablets 
 placed upon the gate: 
 
 King's Chapel Burial Ground.

 The Granary Burying Ground on Tre- 
 mont Street, opposite the head of Brom- 
 field Street, was established in 1660. The 
 following appears on the tablets upon the 
 gates :

 The remains of General Joseph Warren, 
 first buried in Charlestown, were after- 
 wards placed in the Granary Burying 
 Ground, and finally carried to Forest Hill 
 Cemetery, (See "After Life's Fitful 
 Fever"). 
 
 Public Garden Flowers. The 
 
 succession of flowers on the Public Gar- 
 den cannot fail to interest and delight 
 lovers of Nature. In the early Spring the 
 display of tulips begins. Of these there 
 are usually 50 large beds, containing more 
 than 20,000 of these beautiful flowers. 
 Then, as the Spring advances, are seen 
 the pansies, polyanthi, ranuncili, daisies 
 and forget-me-nots. These are followed 
 by geraniums, colci, sub-tropical plants, 
 roses, lilies and tuberoses. Around the 
 Washington Statue, near Arlington 
 Street, are arabesque figures, formed of 
 alternantheria, echaveria and oxalis (O. 
 tropeolitis). The flowering shrubs and 
 trees include lilacs, snowballs, spireas, 
 honeysuckles, white and scarlet haw- 
 thorns, seringas, rhododendrons, etc.

 BOS-PUB 
 
 BOSTON, 
 
 The following are extracts from a poem 
 read by Ralph Waldo Emerson in Faneuil 
 Hall, Dec. 16, 1873, the centennial anni- 
 versary of the destruction of the tea in 
 Boston Harbor: 
 
 The wild rose and the barberry thorn 
 
 Hung out their summer pride 
 "Where now on heated pavements worn 
 
 The feet of millions stride. 
 Fair rose the planted hills behind 
 
 The good town on the bay, 
 And where the Western hills declined 
 
 The prairie stretched away. 
 What care though rival cities soar 
 
 Along the stormy coast, 
 Penn's town, New York and Baltimore, 
 
 If Boston knew the most ! 
 
 Bad news from George on the English 
 throne : 
 
 " You are thriving well," said he 
 " Now by these presents be it known 
 
 You shall pay us a tax on tea: 
 'Tis very small, — no load at all, 
 
 Honor enough that we send the call! " 
 
 " Not so," said Boston, " good, my lord, 
 
 We pay your Governors here 
 Abundant for their bed and board, 
 
 Six thousand pounds a year. 
 (Your Highness knows our homely word), 
 
 Millions for self-government, 
 But for tribute never a cent." 
 
 The cargo came ! and who could blame 
 
 If Indians seized the tea, 
 And — chest by chest — let down the 
 same 
 
 Into the laughing sea ? 
 Forwlxat avail the plough or sail, 
 
 Or land or life if Freedom fail? 
 
 The townsmen braved the English King, 
 Found friendship in the French, 
 
 And Honor joined the patriot ring 
 Low on their wooden bench. 
 
 O bounteous seas that never fail ! 
 
 O day remembered yet ! 
 O happy port that spied the sail 
 
 Which wafted Lafayette ! 
 Pole-star of light in Europe's night, 
 That never faltered from the right. 
 Kings shook with fear; old empires crave 
 
 The secret force to find 
 Which fired the little State to save 
 
 The rights of all mankind. 
 
 The sea returning day by day 
 
 Restores the world-wide mart; 
 So let each dweller on the Bay 
 Fold Boston in his heart, 
 Till these echoes be choked with snows 
 Or over the town blue ocean flows. 
 
 Let the blood of her hundred thousands 
 
 Throb in each manly vein; 
 And the wit of all her wisest 
 Make sunshine in her brain. 
 For you can teach the lightning speech, 
 And round the globe your voices 
 reach. 
 
 And each shall care for other, 
 
 And each to each shall bend; 
 To the poor a noble brother, 
 
 To the good an equal friend. 
 
 A blessing through the ages thus 
 Shield all thy roofs and towers! 
 
 God with the fathers, so with us, 
 Thou darling town of ours!

Dr. Waters Flesh Brush 
 
 A scientific, physiological appliance, flexible, reversible, and adapted to the 
 electrical needs of the body. It produces better results in massage in five min- 
 utes than can be had by the hand alone in an hour ; softening and cleaning 
 the skin more thoroughly than a Turkish bath ; freshening the complexion, 
 equalizing the circulation, increasing oxidation at the surface and the 
 activity of the pores, thus relievi?ig much of the sequelce of skin inaction, such as 
 chills, congestions, consumption, neuralgia, paralysis, rheuma- 
 tism, pneumonia and arterial tension. 
 
 As a conservator of health, everybody needs one — a c^ 
 proper daily use helping all the organs of the body to- "*& 
 wards a healthy activity. The effect itpon the circu- ^ 
 lation is not the restilt of friction, although any J? 
 desirable amount of friction can be had by it. 
 
 Special directions for use are given with 
 each brush, which, closely followed, will be 
 fottnd invaluable. 
 
 At the recent 15th Exhibition of 
 chusetts Charitable Mechanics 
 this brush received the highest 
 class as "a new and improved 
 ducing results never before 
 brush." 
 
 As a rule, 
 same brush.

 H. C. BARTLETT, M. D., when buying a second .brush, after having 
 used one over two months [said: "I like it very much. It is a grand,

 produces an ideal condition of the skin, like that of an infant, soft as 
 silk velvet, and cleaner than water could possibly make it,"

 That the consumer may be supplied with these goods, it will be necessary 
 for them to insist on having the genuine article, and not accept something else, 
 although recommended by the grocer as " Just as Good." 
 
 Dealers can know but little of the quality of common soaps they sell, so 
 perfectly can pure goods be imitated in appearance. But the consumer will at 
 once notice and appreciate the difference between a fictitious brand and the 
 original, and use the BEST.

A. Good Record 
 
 FOR THE YEAR ENDING APRIL FIRST. 
 
 Between one hundred and two hundred surgical operations have been 
 
 performed at the Free Hospital for Women supported by the 
 
 Murdock Liquid Food Co., Boston, without the loss of a 
 
 single patient, and all restored to usefulness. 
 
 JjIQTJID FOOD was given BEFORE and AFTER THE OPERATIONS. 
 
 flat other Hospital that floes not nse lnrtfocrs Lipid Fool can snow sncn a Record? 
 
 500 
 
 Operations 
 Annually. 
 
 Until then we 
 shall remain in 
 our old home. 
 
 By its use we can build up any patient who is too reduced for an operation, so that not only a 
 safe but successful operation can be made, and in common cases the patient can be made convales- 
 cent in three-quarters of the time usually required. 
 
 With what we have 
 been and are doing. 
 we shall be able, in 
 our new Free Hos- 
 pital that we are now 
 building corner of 
 Huntington Avenue 
 and Camden Street, 
 to perform in thf 
 Surgical half of tht 
 Hospital 
 
 The Surgical Staff at Murdock's Free Hospital for "Women, at 30 Teverett 
 Street, are in daily attendance to examine patients and assign Beds 
 Saiurdays excepted. 
 
 Its value in cases where limbs have been broken surprises every physician who has ordered' its 
 use, as it restores the broken limbs to health and strength in a few weeks. 
 
 BABIES.— Kemember that with feeble infants who do not thrive 
 on their mothers' milk or the best prepared foods in the market, "WE 
 BEQUEST NO CHANGE OF FOOD, but add 5 or more drops four times 
 daily of Murdock's liquid Food, and you will find that their lost or needed 
 vitality will be restored to them in less than thirty days. 
 
 Not a case of Cholera Infantum known where Murdock's Liquid Food has been used, nor a 
 death from Cholera Infantum where it has been prescribed by a physician. 
 
 Murdock's liquid Food will assist all classes of Chronic cases. It is 
 the only Raw FooHl in the world. It is free of insoluble matter, and can 
 always be retained by the stomach, and when given for INJECTIONS it is 
 equally valuable, and can always be retained. 
 
 Remember, all acknowledge the value of Fruits for a patient. 
 
 TO STJSTAI2J OTJTR, CHL^HM!, 
 
 we never wish liquid Food used until sll other treatments and foods fail, 
 then the results are quickly seen, generally in twenty-four hours. 
 
 The fact that no two beeves or sheep are alike is the reason of our different brands being 
 different in flavor. All brands are made by the same formula. The letter represents the day of 
 make, and the figure the tank. If richer, it is stronger in smell and flavor, and will bear a greater 
 reduction.
