ich the address of one Potts had roused Uncle Sam to anger; hear him pouring out a torrent of eloquent vituperation, forgetting all else in the joy of freeing his mind. Pausing to draw breath, he glanced round, and, seeing an unfamiliar landscape, exclaimed, Where are we? At Potsdam, I think! said our mother quietly. Hardly less dear to us than Green Peace, and far dearer to her, was the summer home at Lawton's Valley, in Portsmouth, Near Newport, of which it is really a suburb. Rhode Island. Here, as at South Boston, the Doctor's genius for construction and repairs wrought a lovely miracle. He found a tiny farmhouse, sheltered from the seawinds by a rugged hillock; near at hand, a rocky gorge, through which tumbled a wild little stream, checked here and there by a rude dam; in one place turning the wheel of a mill, where the neighboring farmers brought corn to grind. His quick eye caught the possibilities of the situation. He bought the place and proceeded to make of it

grieved all summer for the child; but was afterward made happy by his adoption into a cheerful and prosperous home. This was a summer of arduous work. The Tribune demanded more letters; Kant and Maine could not be neglected, and soon Fichte was added to them. Moreover, the children must have every pleasure that she could give them. Worked hard all the morning for the croquet party in the afternoon, which was very pleasant and successful. Took Julia to the party on board the Rhode Island. She looked charmingly, and danced. I was quite happy because she enjoyed it. Early August found her in Northampton, reporting for the Tribune the Convention of the American Academy of Science. The Doctor and Julia joined her, and she had very busy days, attending the sessions and writing her reports. Read over several times my crabbed essay on the Two Necessities, which I determine to read in the evening. I have with me also the essay on Limitations, far more amusing and popul

Also Saladin's horse. Wailing place of the Jews and some ancient synagogues. In the afternoon walked to Gethsemane and ascended the Mount of Olives. In the first-named place, sang one verse of our hymn, Go to dark Gethsemane. Got some flowers and olive leaves. ... After Jerusalem came Jaffa, where she delivered an address to a circle at a private house. She says:-- In Jaffa of the Crusaders, Joppa of Peter and Paul, I find an American Mission School, kept by a worthy lady from Rhode Island. Prominent among its points of discipline is the clean-washed face, which is so enthroned in the prejudices of Western civilization. One of her scholars, a youth of unusual intelligence, finding himself clean, observes himself to be in strong contrast with his mother's hovel, in which filth is just kept clear of fever point. Why this dirt? quoth he; that which has made me clean will cleanse this also. So without more ado, the process of scrubbing is applied to the floor, without reg

rds for Bok, on some aspect of the American woman. She went to Boston for the opening of the Mechanics' Fair, and sat beside Phillips Brooks in the great hall. They will not hear us! she said. No, replied Brooks. This is the place where little children are seen and not heard. Mayor Hart backed up the Tariff while I praised Free Trade. My text was two words of God: Use and Beauty. My brief address was written carefully though hastily. There was no neighborly electric road in Rhode Island in those days, and the comings and goings were fatiguing. A hard day.... The rain was pitiless, and I in my best clothes, and without rubbers. Embraced a chance of driving to the Perry House, where ... it was cold and dark. I found a disconsolate couple from Schenectady who had come to Newport for a day's pleasuring. Did my best to entertain them, walking about the while to keep warm. She got home finally, and the day ends with her ordering a warm mash for the horse. This hors

stly of the present desperate need. I think I was called next. I characterized the Turks as almost ferae naturae. Spoke of the low level of European diplomacy. Said that we must fall back upon the ethical people, but hope for a general world movement making necessary the adoption of a higher level of international relation — look to the religious world to uphold the principle that no religion can henceforth be allowed to propagate itself by bloodshed. May 18. A lecture at Westerly, Rhode Island .... My lameness made the ascent of steps and stairs very painful.... May 22. Heard a delightful French Conference and reading from M. Louis. Had a fit of timidity about the stairs, which were high and many; finally got down. Had a worse one at home, where could not get up the staircase on my feet, and had to execute some curious gymnastics to get up at all. May 25. My knee was very painful in the night, and almost intolerable in the morning, so sent for Wesselhloeft, who examine
