During the general conversation which fol—

Grant was asked what was the comparison
between/English racing. as he had seen it on
the day of the Oaks at Epsom, and the races
in America. He said, with a smile, “Thu-e
is an impression abroad, that I am a great
horse racer, ’ fond of horses and know all
about races; but, on the contrary, I really
know nothing of racing, having seen only
two races—one at Cincinnati in 1865 and at
the opening of Jerome par-kin 1867. I feel,
therefore, that I am not qualified to judge of
the comparison. '

Tramps continue to make callsand ask for
“a mouthful to cat. As a rule they get what
is asked for, the exception being when the
lady of the house has by chance, shaken her.
table cloth after a meal and put away the
dishes. There is a good deal of philosophy
among tramps. Indeed so systematically is
their vocation plied that, it. would not be too
much to say'there is science in it. How Well
they seem torknow what gate to enter and at
what door to knock. If kindly deceived how
ingeniously they frame their story of jour-
neys made, and still to be made. Rarely do
they admit that their low condition was
,brought about by any fault of theirs. A
train of circumstances, over which they had
no conti-ol,.led to it. But the housewife ap-
plied to for help by these slragglcrs rarely
enquires as to the causes, but from the kind-
ness of her heart gives what she has. She
may not always have bits of boiled beefsteak
or remnants of cold baked lamb to dispense,
but the average tramp expects such fare, and
failing to get it, in. some instances has been
known to toss his gift in the gutter. Will

Letters from the People.
To Crurixr :—
In your letter about reading circles and
other means of improvement in country
towns, you are correct in your statements
but—like most women—entirely wrong in
the reasons you assign .for them. It 1's
dilllcult to maintaima reading circle or any
other intellectual society in a country town,
but it is not because of the distance of
houses from each other. That distance be-
comes nothing, nay, less than notliing,'abso-
solutely a minus quanity, when a gathering
for the purpose of dancing is desired. .Let
me tell you my experience. There are in
the town of Pemigewasset fifteen or twenty-
young ladies all gifted with average—they
think with superior—ability, and all with
more or less knowledge of literature and
taste for study. The houses lire not so far
apart but that scarcely an evening passes
without some ten or twelve'young People
meeting somewhere to dance and “carry 011'”
I‘thought that here, if anywhere, .3 reading
circle for mutual improvement might succeed.
and proposed it. It was hailed with de-
light, “How splendid?” “That ’ill be real
Board onséiiooi" Visitors.-
A special meeting of this Board was held
at the Town Clerk’s Ofllce, Monday, Jan.
2lst. " 2
The report offered at the previous meeting
by Mr. B. J. Sturgcs, in reference to Teach-
crs’ Reports, was taken from the table and
amended so as to read, Monthly, instead of
semi-Monthly, as previously presented, and
to be operative during the ensuing school-
ycar. '
It was then voted that Mr. Sturgcs be
empowered to procure the necessary blanks
to carry out the system of reports submitted
by him.
The _question of Geography was taken up
and discussed at length, and any‘change
involving expense to the town or districts,
strongly opposed. An informal ballot was
taken ”as to the preference of Geography.
Seven votes were cast, of which Montcith
had 4, Guyot 2, and Swinton 1.
Voted, Thata change of Geography be
recommended,'and the secretary notify the
adjoining towns of the same.
Voted, That this Board adopt either Mon-
teith or Swintouls Geography, providing. the
publishers donate the books sufllcient to sup-
uice” “That’s gorgeous P" &., &c., and eager
promises were made to be not only punctual
but regular in attendance. We met. The
first question that came up was “What shall
we read ?” of course, their were twice as
many different opinions as young ladies, but
as none were strongly maintained a history
was finally agreed upon, very interesting, '
brilliant in parts with poisonings, assassina-
tions and love scenes enough to‘ satisfy any
school-girl or reader of the N. Y. Ledger.
We read that first evening amid the half sup-
pressed yawns of the surrounding company.
The next evening appointed for the meeting
we were received~at the door of the house to
which, we had been invited with the outstand-
ing intelligence that the young lady had en-
tirely forgottenabout the reading circle and
had gt n: on sleighing! Slightly discomfitted,
we made a stand, however and read, one of
the younger sisters acting as hostess. While
there, we noticed the absence of others of‘our
n mber, and enquiring for them were in-
formed they had gone to examine the bridal
trousseau of an acquaintance over whose ap-
proaching marriage there had long been a
flutter. of excitement, strongly mingled. with
curiosity and envy. Were we disgusted at
their frivolity ? Oh, no, we liked it' It on-
couraged us in our well meant desire to ID]-
prove the neighborhood and induce them to,
give up “twaddle and gossip”a§ it is so trutha
fully characterized in your‘ quotation. To,
tell the ti uth, our readings instead of sup.
pressing gossip seemed but, to serve as. an
incentive to it. No dress was mentioned in
the history but, we had a-full description of
every new dress in. the neighborhood. The
fine arm of a princess was casually mention-
ed, we were immediately favored _with a
lesson in comparative Anatomy, and learened
with astonishment that Miss. B. had “lovely
arms” while Miss. A’s were “nothing but
skin and bones." ‘ The description of a which
marriage was read, affording a fine chance
for every young lady present to unfold her
theories in regard to love and marriage and ‘
her ideas of her “coming man.” It is scarce-
ly unnecessary to say that we only fnishcd,
that evening one octave volume, 500 pages,
by ‘means of diligently skipping whatever
didn‘t look interesting. 2 There mug in my
cars, even aftcrjts cessation, the cry “skip
that," “skip‘that,” “skip that,” and when I
sought ‘my couch that night it was only to
dream that I ‘was transformed into a hugh
water spider doomed to skip forever and yet
to make no headway, on a. stream of ink
whose banks were composed of octavo vol-
umes, while allvthe historical characters of
whom we had justvbeeu reading with faces
strangely like those of the young ladies of
the Reading Circle and .arms still more
strangely like those of which we had heard
that evening, pointed the finger of scorn at
me saying in mocking tones “skip, skip,
skip, up here? skip, skip, skip up here ?”
while the rippling waves of ink took up the
refrain, saying, as they dashed against the
shore, “skip, skip oh! d-o-o skip! skip,
skip, oh! d-o.o skip !” '
At the next meeting of the Reading Circle
there were present two members, myself and
another, who informed me on entering that
the others had been on their way there, but
having heard of a two-penny magic-lantern
exhibition held in the Town Hall that eve-
ning, had gone thither instead—the funds of
their escort-tlie sole young gentleman in
town—being just sufficient to-(lefray the ex-
penses of the whole company. We gazed at
one another with mingled amusement and
chagrin. Is this'to be the end of our plans
for the improvement of the minds in‘thc vil-
liage of Pemigewasset P You will probably
same with a class of young men. N o, it
wouldn’t. If young men had undertaken a
thing of that kind they would have been——
some of them at least—enough in earnest to
go on with it. More and more every year am
I convinced of the truth‘of a celebrated wri-
ter’s remark (I quote from memory,) “ A
woman learns nothing except in rare and for-
'tunatc cases, after sbevleaves school. Cor.-
vcrsc with her at eighteen and\agaiu at forty,
you will find that her mental states is the
same at both periods.”
Since writing the above’I see in the GA-
ZETTE of this week that the town of ’ Wilton
has followed your suggestion and started time
reading circles. 0 l» thence happy Villiage.
I shall look with interest for reports from that
town, if the organizers succeed I hope they
will give some hints through the medium of
the GAZETTE, which may be of use to those,
who, like myself, have erred, though with the
best intentions in the world. 7 '

amusing stories-the other day showing how
American manufactured articles are sent
about the world. A New Haven gentleman
being in Liverpool, for an hour or two, wait-
ing for the steamer to sail, thought he would
purchase some trifle to bring home as a me-
nlento of that city, and stepping into a store
his attention was attracted by some knife
rests different from, any style he had ever
seen, and lie-bought them. Then he asked
the proprietor where they were manufactured.

The gentleman was amused thatlie had come
across the Atlantic to buy an’ article made
only eighteen miles from his house.
The other story was of a New York lady,
who being in Algiers saw and purchased a
little article for $125. Afterwards in Paris
she saw more of the same thing and purchas-
ed another specimen for $1. In England she
found and bought another for seventy-five
centc. On arriving at New York she saw
plenty of them in the shop windows, price
ten cents, and then she discovered they were

from forming on the top of pickle jars, and
then she sighed.- “Oh, dear,” reluctantly
turned away and went to the cistern, leaned
over the top and lookedlforhe gurgling, howl-

Massachusetts sets the United States a good
example, and teaches the nation a lesson in
honorable dealing, which should be heeded
‘ andlcarned. The total indebtedness of the
' State is $33,220,464, all but $2,674,500 of
which is unequivocally payable in gold. The
last-named'amount is in bonds of the Troy
and Greenfield railroad, which are payable in
i either gold or silver coin, and were issued in
1862, when gold and silver were equally rec-
ognized as coin ; but, to remove all uncer-
tainty as to this part of the debt, the House
Committee on Finance has reported a bill
making the entire debt of the State payable
in gold. , ' ' . .
_—————+fi.§—+——‘- ' _
The practical disadvantages of abundan
silver are already beginning to be apparent.
Silver change is now so plentiful as to be
burdensome to the average citizen, his wife,
his children, and the stranger within his
gates. A person who buys a dollar’s worth
and pays for it With a ten-dollar note is pretty
sure to get fully one-half his change in silver
halves and quarters, which make quitea load
to carry. Silver coin is reported as being a
drug in the market in New York, where even
the trade dollar of 420 grains can’ be bought
at a discountiof ll per cent.; and the banks
of the city now refuse to receive gilver, in
amounts of one dollar and over, unless at its
market value. As a consequence, business
men in the metropolis are now rejecting any
but limited amounts of silver dollars, and
though silver change gives somewhat less in-
convenience because of its limited legal ten-
der quality, it is plain, as the New _York
Times says, that the capacity of the country
to absorb it is pretty well exhausted. ‘
