Ilassachusetts Istitute of Tech nology,BOYLSTON STREET, BOSTON.

FRANCIS A. WVALKER, President.

Tins school is devoted to the teaching of science, as applied to the various engineering professions; viz., civil,mechanical, mining, and electrical engineering, as well as to architecture, clhcmistry, metallurgy, physics, and naturalhistory.

Besides the above distinctly professional courses, the Institute offers scientific courses of a less technicalcharacter, designed to give students a preparation for business callings. A four years' course in biology, chemistry, andphysics has been established, as preparatory to the professional study of medicine.

Modern languages are tauhlit, so far as is needed for the ready and accurate reading of scientific works andperiodicals, and may be further pursued as a means of general training.

The constitutional and political history of England and the United States, political economy, and internationallaw are taught, in a measure, to the students of all regular courses, and may be further pursued as optional studies.

Applicants for adiilission to the Institute are examined in English grammar, geography, French, arithmetic,algebra, modern history, and geometry. A fuller statement of the requirements for admission will be found in the cata-logue, which will be sent, without charge, on application.

Graduates of colleges conferring degrees, who have the necessary qualifications for entering the third-year classin any of the regular courses of the Institute, w-ill be so admitted, provisionally, on the presentation of their diplomas,and will be given opportunity to make up all deficiencies in professional subjects.

The feature of instruction which has been most largely developed in the school is laboratory training, shop-work,and field-practice, to supplement, to illustrate, and to emphasize the instruction of the recitation and lecture room.

Surveying-instruments are provided for field-work in civil and topographical engineering. Extensive shopshave been fitted up for the use of both hand and machine tools, and a laboratory of steamn engineering has beenestablished as a part of the instruction in mechanical engineering. Several steam-boilers and steam-engines of vari-ous types are available for experiments and tests, as well as a large amount of special apparatus for measuring power,for gauging the flow of water, for tests of belting, etc. The laboratory of applied mechanics contains two testing-machines,-one for ascertaining transverse strength, the other for tension and compression,-besides apparatus fortime-tests on timber, for tests of mortars and cemnents, for tests of shafting, etc. The department of mining engineeringand metallurgy has the use of laboratories in which the milling and smelting of lead, copper, silver, and other ores, ineconomic quantities, are regularly performed by the students themselves. The classes in architecture supplement thework of the drawing and designing rooms by the examniination of structures completed or in course of erection, and bypractical experiment in the laboratory of applied mechanics, testing the strength of materials and working out problemsin construction. The Kidder Chemnical Laboratories consist of a laboratory for general chemistry (288 places); a lab-oratory for analytical chemistry (ioS places), together with a special room for volumnetric analysis (20 places) and a bal-ance-room with 22 balances; a laboratory for organic chemistry (3o places); a laboratory for sanitary chemistry (I6places); a laboratory for industrial chemistry (I6 places); two convenient lecture-rooms; and a well-supplied libraryand reading-room. The laboratories are thoroughly equipped for the purposes of ordinary instruction, and they alsopossess excellent facilities for the promotion of original research. The Rogers Laboratory of Physics, the first labora-tory in which instruction was systematically given to classes by means of elementary physical measurements conductedby the students themselves, is well provided with the needful facilities for laboratory instruction in both elementary andadvanced technical physics, especially in the different branches of electrical engineering.

On the successful completion of any one of the four-year courses of the Institute, the degree of " Bachelor otScience" will be conferred. The degrees of " Master of Science," "Ph.D.," and "Doctor of Science" are open to per-sons pursuing advanced studies and conducting original researches. Special students are allowed to enter special divis-ions of any of the courses, on giving evidence that they are prepared to pu1rsue wvith advantage the studies selected.

The fee for tuition is $2oo a year. Besides this, $25 or $30 are needed for books and instrumnents. There areno separate laboratory fees; only payment for articles broken is required.

HE great successwhich has been at-tending theFreshmannine in all its games,goes still further to

strengthen what we have always said in regardto Institute athletics: that is, that if more classfeeling were shown in regard to athletic superi-ority, that the standard of our regular teamswould be greatly heightened.

If each class had this year put a nine into thefield, we have no doubt that the Tech. ninewould have made a record to be proud of; notonly on account of the increased amount ofmaterial to choose from, but also from thegreater amount of practice the men would havehad, and the increased confidence derived fromthis practice. To be sure, it may be said thatthe Freshmen have more time for this sort ofthing than the upper classes. While this is un-doubtedly true, it must also be remembered thatthey are also handicapped by not knowing eachother very well. This is especially the case in

the fall. We think that the upper classes wouldnot find it impossible to put athletic teams inthe field.

Why could not some such system be adoptedas the one at the University of Pennsylvania.There, each year there is a flag, emblematic ofclass superiority in all branches of athletics, pre-sented to the class which has made the greatestnumber of points in athletics. Thus the classchampionship in foot-ball counts so many points;base-ball the same ; tennis, some other numberof points; and so on right through every branch,each particular branch having a certain valueassigned to it by the Athletic Club. At the endof the year the class which has made the mostpoints gets the flag.

We hope that our Athletic Club will adoptsome such system as this, and that we will see itnext year in active operation.

T is an undisputed fact that the game in whichwe can make the greatest success at the In-

stitute is foot-ball, and that in spite of all dis-advantages we can put a winning eleven in thefield. The only trouble heretofore has been,that the team has not begun winning until theseason was well advanced, owing to the mennot coming out early enough to get into formbefore the opening of the championship season;that was why last year's team lost the first gameto Amherst. Several of the players on thatteam were new men, who were attracted out toplay against the team, and who played so wellthat they were soon put on the eleven. Nowwhat we want is, to bring such men out at thebeginning of the term, and the only way to dothis is through class games. Let the Foot-BallAssociation offer a prize to be contested for byelevens representing the form classes, eachteam to play one game with every other team,

and the team winning the series to take theprize emblematic of the class championship.This will make six games to be played: theycertainly can be played in the first two or threeweeks of the term, and by that time the captainwill be able to judge who are the best men torepresent the Institute. By this means therewill certainly be brought out early many goodmen who would not otherwise play, and theteam will be in good condition at the openingof the championship season. Let every one takeinterest and work for foot-ball next term, andthere will be no reason why the MassachusettsTechnology team should not win the champion-ship for the first year of the new Eastern Inter-collegiate Association.

HE fact that the authorities of Phillips Ex-eter Academy have asked that an examiner

be sent there from the Institute this spring, isgratifying evidence of the growing improvementin preparation of the students coming here.They have such a large number of studentsready to enter the next Freshman class, that theFaculty have decided to hold an entrance ex-amination there. When a school of the standardat Exeter prepares students for the Institute asthoroughly as it does for Harvard, then will mencome here ready to appreciate the advantagesof the training they receive here. The demandfor preparation for the Institute is increasing sostrongly, that many schools make a specialty ofpreparing students to enter here, as will beseen in looking over the list of schools adver-tised in the Nation; and the number is beingadded to each year.

jHE question of the impression the Institutemakes abroad, is one that is exciting deep

interest, and all Technology men who have anylove for their Alna Alta/er are desirous of better-ing it, and are interested in any plan for show-ing the outside world that we have a social lifehere. The heartiness with which the members

of our Faculty met the Seniors at the receptiongiven them by the Class of '87, shows that theyare anxious to meet the students in a social way,and that they, as well as we, wish to better thesocial life here. Now, since there is a generaldesire to do something to promote social inter-course, why cannot it be met by establishing aTechnology club in this city ? Such a club,drawing its members from the Alumni, professorsand students of the Institute, would surely be asuccess, and the advantages to be gained from itwould be manifold. It would bring the profes-sors and students together socially, and furtherpromote the good feeling existing between usand them in our work; it would develop thesocial side of students, and better fit them to goout into the world; and it would attract generalattention to the Institute as a place where a mannot only can get the best practical education inour country, but also where he could have thesocial training which is so important for a youngman going into active business life.

A house convenient to the Institute could berented reasonably on St. James Avenue or New-bury Street, and be fitted up with study, readingand sitting rooms, and with a restaurant, wherethe members could get their lunches instead ofhaving to go all over town for them, which wouldbe a great advantage. The club-house wouldfurnish an Institute reading-room, which is sosadly needed, where fellows could spend thetime between recitations, and have at their dis-posal the magazines and papers. To studentswho live in boarding-houses, such a club wouldbe a great boon. It would give them a cheerfulplace to spend their evenings and Sunday after-noons, when one usually longs for a homelikeplace. Another good feature would be a privatedining-room, which could be engaged for themeetings of the class and course societies,obviating the necessity of their going to thehotels for meetings, which is in some respectsobjectionable.

There is a prosperous University Club at Yale,and the question of establishing one at Harvardhas been broached. The Institute should takethe lead, and Harvard would soon establish a

226 urnri

t

THE: TEPCH

similar club then. It is to be hoped that beforelong such an enterprise will be put into shapeby our Corporation, Faculty, and Alumni; andthat in a few years, when the graduates leave theInstitute, they will be able to look back at thepleasant four years spent here while they wereobtaining a thorough training, with a resultingstronger love for their Alma Mater.

Uy ITH its handful of instructors and ludi-crously small number of students, we doubt

if the New Hampshire School of Agriculture canpresent a course of instruction similar to ours,as the Dartmouth would have its readers believe.We think that paper must have in mind ourSchool of Mechanic Arts when it speaks of theabove similarity, especially in reference to shop-work. The School of Mechanic Arts is no moreclosely connected with the Institute of Tech-nology, than is the College of Agriculture withDartmouth College proper. Shop-work at theInstitute enters into but very few of the ninecourses of study which constitute our curricu-lum.

Truth is as important an element in thecharacter of a college journal as in that of anindividual; and it is only by carefully guardingits statements that a paper can help giving falseimpressions, which must in time destroy itsreputation and weaken its statements.

FTER playing two unsuccessful games theE Base-Ball Team has been disbanded, onaccount of the illness of some of the men andthe general dissatisfaction. - It seems impossibleto put a successful Institute nine in the field,and yet the prospects were most encouraging.Perhaps it would be better next year not toattempt again to select a team, but organize aregular league between the classes or depart-ments, and confine the play to them. Thiswould undoubtedly result in a most interestingseries of games, and would also serve to developthe players, so that if in the future it seemedadvisable to choose a representative nine, there

would be a larger field from which to select men.The Freshman nine, which has more time thanthe others, could arrange outside games if theywished, as our present Freshmen have been sofortunate as to warrant such a precedent; butno one will deny that more interest would betaken in a game between any two classes than acontest with other colleges on our present basis.

If the Base-Ball Association would undertakethe management of such a scheme, so as toinsure systematic arrangement and organization,they could no doubt ably demonstrate its prac-ticability.

I3 E would like to give some suggestions thisyear in connection with the prizes, offered

in another column, for a design for the cover ofeighty-nine's "Technique." Last year therewere many artistic and meritorious designs, yetin the end, the accepted design was the work ofa professional. Now the reason for this is quiteevident, but, feeling that some disappointed com-petitors might feel it not worth while to tryagain through misunderstanding, we think it notout of place to give them a pointer.

The first requirement, which seems to havebeen generally disregarded, is that of using butone or two colors. Many beautiful designs werereturned last year on account of the extra costof using more than two colors. Again the de-signs did not sufficiently embody the aims orpursuits of the Institute, and it is this very ideawhich we wish to have portrayed in some artis-tic manner; a suggestion of the courses perhapslinked together in an original manner, might beacceptable, if carefully, and faithfully worked up.

We give this much information to aid and en-courage those men, who have bright and origi-nal ideas, to work on this design through thesummer, in order that we may accept one whichshall be worthy of the Institute, and the menwho have the Annual in charge.

The size should be the exact size of last year's"Technique," or larger in direct proportion.All additional information regarding this matterwill be gladly furnished by eighty-nine's editor-in-chief.

A Kentucky Family Feud.

N our quiet little village, as in all other vil-lages, dwelt a village schoolmaster, by name

William Wirt Richeson.Mr. Richeson, or, as he was called by all, Prof.

Richeson, came originally from Virginia toKentucky, and settled in Maysville, on thebanks of the Ohio. As a graduate of the Uni-versity of Virginia, he soon obtained a largeand flourishing school. Among his pupilswere many who have since acquired distinctionin national affairs. But the one to whom hepointed with most pride was Gen. U. S. Grant;and those who may read Grant's books, willfind Mr. Richeson's name mentioned in sucha manner as to show that the General alsothought well of him.

During his stay of thirty years in Maysville,Mr. Richeson always spent his summers, and,indeed, all vacations, in the mountains, huntingand fishing. He was usually accompanied byone or more of his pupils.

When he came to our village he still kept uphis customary visits to the mountains, and itwas always considered a great treat to be al-lowed to accompany him.

In the summer of I879 it fell to the lot of mybrother and myself to go up into the mountainswith him. So one morning in July we startedoff on our journey. Our party consisted ofeight persons; and as the spring waggon, whenthe baggage was all in, would hold but four, itmade it necessary that four should be walkingall the time, while the remainder rode.

The first curiosity met with was an old manof eighty summers, who always from his earliestyouth upward made it a practice to keep hischest bare in all kinds of weather. This old

gentleman tried to impress it upon us that tolive to a ripe old age, such an exposure of personwas necessary. ~.But we have since been toldthat he, like the man in Texas who only eatsone meal a day, is alone in his theory ofhygiene.

Our journey lasted two days, and it was onthe latter part of the second day that we left theold Lexington and Richmond Pike, and turnedinto a narrower road which lead over the moun-tain range into Rowan County.

At a distance of about three miles from ourdestination we passed a log cabin, situated in acornfield of about one hundred acres, most ofwhich was hillside land. Mr. Richeson pointedto it and told us that there dwelt one of thegreat men of the county. Great, not becauseof any political office, or because he was theowner of a large farm, but great because hewas one of the Underwood family. He wasWill Underwood, the best one of the family.

Mr. Richeson then told us something of thehistory of this family, about as follows. Duringthe War of the Rebellion nearly every one inthat district was either directly outspoken infavor of the Confederacy or secretly a sympa-thizer, and helped the others more actively en-gaged in the war. The Underwood family,however, were Union men, either because theywere so from principle or because they found itto be to their profit pecuniarily.

Be it as it may, they proceeded to make them-selves very obnoxious to their neighbors bystealing horses and taking them to the Unionarmy, not far away. Leading the life of guerillas,they made many night attacks upon stables andpastures, and many horses were missing as aresult.

When the war was over, one of the family,Ralph, did not get over his bad habits immedi-ately; and after a few years had passed by hewas found in possession of a horse which wasclaimed by the Holbrook family. But Ralphsaid that it belonged to him, and that they hadstolen it from him during the war, and now thathe had it he proposed to keep it.

After long discourse, etc., for several days no

agreement could be arrived at.One night about twelve o'clock Ralph was

aroused from his sleep by the barking of hisdog. Grasping his gun he rushed out of thehouse, and saw a man sneaking away from thestable. He fired, and one of the Holbrookfamily died.

The news spread rapidly over the mountains.The Holbrook family assembled eln masse andsurrounded the Underwood cabin. The cabinwas barricaded, and old man Underwood andhis four boys stood inside to guard it. Firingfrom both sides was indulged in for a few days,when the State troops put in an appearance, andquiet reigned once more. Ralph managed toescape, and left the State, and so far as is knownhas never seen fit to return. One of the youngerbrothers was wounded in the side, while two ofthe Holbrooks were killed outright. JesseUnderwood was carried off and put in jail, butthe Holbrooks remained unmolested.

It was four or five years after this battle thatwe visited Rowan County, and, as can be imag-ined, the coals were still glowing. It wasreported that Jesse, who had managed to get outof jail and return to his home, had said thatjust as soon as his brother died, (who was stillbedridden with the wound in his side,) that oneof the Holbrooks should also die. But this wewere told was a falsehood, and we must notbelieve it.

So much for previous history of the war.About sundown we arrived at the house where

we were to make our headquarters. Our hostwas known by all as Uncle George Ham. Hewas a large, stout man, and could tell about thewonderful Swift silver mine of Kentucky. Heknew where it was; his father had told himwhen he was a boy. He also had made a won-derful discovery. He once placed a large boul-der in a hollow stump and covered it over withsand; ten years later he removed the sand, tookout the boulder, and to his astonishment it hadgrown to three times its former size. He there-fore claimed to be the discoverer of the remark-able fact that stones grew when covered by sandin hollow stumps. He once got thrashed for

killing a deer while going to church. In fact,he was a wonderful man! But to us he wassomebody to be honored, because he could setan excellent table for $2.50 a week, and becausehe was personally acquainted with the Under-woods.

After we had been there a few days, and hadlearned the way to the post-office, - where mailwas received twice a week, - and had found outthat our host was named Ham, that his nextneighbor was named Vest, and the postmasternamed Saddler, while a man still farther downthe creek was named Pig, we commenced to feelwell enough acquainted to go deer-hunting.' Uncle Wag," Mr. Richeson's brother, sent wordto Will Underwood, and he came over to help usget the deer, which, however, turned out to be askunk in a hollow log, after the dogs had madean excellent run.

Will Underwood was a quiet, plain mountain-eer, who seemed not at all like an outlaw, but,on the other hand, would have passed for a veryquiet citizen. He talked to us about the trou-bles of his family, how much he regretted them,and even offered to sell us his farm for $300, sothat he could move away with his family.

A day or two after Will's visit, as I was return-ing from fishing, I was surprised to see a manwalking a short distance ahead of me, with arifle in his hand and three revolvers buckledaround his waist. Needless to say, I checkedmy pace and drew to the side of the road, so asto hide myself as much as possible. Thus wewalked until we reached the farm-house, wherethe stranger walked in, and was greeted warmlyby all. Feeling assured, in some measure, Iquickened my gait, and timidly entered the yard.Mr. Richeson called out to me, " Come here! Iwant to make you acquainted with the mostnoted man in the county, Mr. Jesse Underwood.Jesse smiled, and I did so faintly, while my eyeslooked alternately at his face and his revolvers.

" C)," said he, " don't be afraid; I am not sobad as I look, am I, Uncle Billy?" turning tomy esteemed Professor.

Just then I wanted very much to ask twoquestions: First, How is your brother ? thinking

perhaps he had died, and Jesse was looking forgame. Second, "Why do you want a rifle andthree revolvers ? "

That night we slept in the same room, and thenI ventured to ask the questions. His brotherwas no worse, his wound still continued toremain open, and he had not left his bed forfour years. Jesse then had me feel the bulletlodged in his own wrist, also one in hi§ neck,and at the same time told me of several othersin different parts of his body. He also intimatedthat he did not care to receive any more, so foundit advisable always to be well armed, and as arule to walk through woods and seldom in theopen road, especially when near any of the Hol-brook family. He slept and ate with the revol-vers around him and the rifle near by, and in-deed, never parted from his firearms.

That night I slept but little with such a manin the room with me. And never but once sincethen have I passed such an uncomfortable night:namely, in Pike County, when I slept with a rev-enue officer who was looking for " moonshiners,"and who was similarly armed at all times.

The following morning we tossed horseshoestogether. Later, he cut the hair of the variousfarm-hands with the sheep-shears, with as muchgrace as the crack Adam's House barber. Per-haps to him the most interesting period of hisvisit was while one of the Holbrooks was ridingpast on horseback. The glances that wereexchanged were very significant, but no bloodwas shed, much to our personal satisfaction.In the afternoon he left us, taking his paththrough the woods to his home, some twelvemiles away.

A few days later we returned to the place ofour nativity, and it was with much pride, per-haps a little more than necessary, we told of ouracquaintance with the Underwoods. Scarcelysix weeks had passed when news came thatJudge Holbrook had been shot from ambush,soon after the death of the wounded Underwoodbefore mentioned. A week later an account ofthe murder of Will Underwood, while workingin the field with his two daughters, appeared inthe .paper. The next paper had an account of

the final battle at the old Underwood fort. Jesseand his father and their families took refuge inthe house of the latter. The place was soonsurrounded by the Holbrook faction, and on thesecond day of the siege Jesse was shot, whiletrying to carry some wood into the house. Hewas mortally wounded, but managed to creepinto the house to die. The next day the Hol-brooks called to the house to know if Jesse wasdead, and receiving an affirmative answer, theysaid that if they were permitted to enter andsatisfy themselves that such was the case, theywould not molest them (the Underwoods) anylonger, but would withdraw to their homes.They were permitted to enter, but they broketheir pledge, and one of them shot the old manUnderwood from behind, deliberately murderinghim in the presence of all his family.

There now remained of the Underwood familyonly the women and small children. Thesewere compelled to bury their dead, unassistedby any men; for all the men of that region wereafraid that they might suffer a like fate if theyshowed any sympathy to the Underwoods.

After a few weeks had passed, notice wasgiven to the women and children that they mustleave the county, or they also would suffer someterrible punishment. At the end of the monththe Underwood family had left the county, andquiet reigned supreme. Thus ended the great-est of the Kentucky family feuds.

For a long time my sympathies were with theUnderwoods; and even now I believe that thecontinuation of this family feud to such a terribleend, was due more to the Holbrook faction thanto the Underwoods.

Ralph Underwood, at the time of our visit, wassupposed either to have been killed as a memberof Jesse James' gang, or as a horse-thief inTexas. His brothers claimed to have no infor-mation of his career after his leaving Kentucky,and they sometimes thought he would returnwith a body of determined men to wipe out theold score.

THE TECF o.

The Tory: A Sketch.

(jHERE is an old graveyard in the quietestcorner of a quiet New England village.

The path leading to it from the main road isovergrown with weeds and briers, and the gatewhich once gave entrance is now rotted on itshinges. The stones are of fine black slate, cov-ered by staring death's-heads and harsh, angularletters, which it is hard to decipher. The toolof the graver has indeed long been dulled, forthe dates which most of the head-stones bearare before the opening of the present century.Soft, gray lichens cling closely to every rough-ened point of the stones, mutely pledging them-selves to share forever the destiny of their home.There is one large slab to which they seem tohave become attached with a peculiar friendship.Upon it, their various hues of black, brown, andpurple commingle in subdued, yet beautifulshades.

The stone attracts the eye of the idle passerby its unusual state of preservation, no less thanby its intrinsic beauty. Despite the coating oflichens and moss, the inscription may be easilyread. George Weymouth, the record tells us,died in I782, in the 79th year of his age. Thereis little about the simple statement to excitesympathy or even interest.

About I730, George Weymouth came to thesmall town of Exton, and at once went to work toestablish a home for himself. Of his past his-tory but little was known by the townspeople.He was young, vigorous, and finely bronzed byexposure to sun and wind. His frank, open faceand genial manners soon won him a host offriends among the young people of the village.The old wives, however, wrinkled their browsmaliciously whenever his name was mentioned,and some were heard to declare, croakingly, thatno possible good could come from a man whowas wont to stroll in the woods on a Sabbathafternoon. For it must be confessed thatGeorge Weymouth, though a young man ofstrict morality, and one accustomed to attendregularly the three-hour morning sermon, was yeta true lover of nature. Every chance that offered

i#

U

for a ramble after birds and flowers, was takenadvantage of by the enthusiastic youth. Atfirst there was much stir in the staid old Puritantown over this barefaced desecration of theLord's Day. Weymouth was publicly warnedby the village parson to cease his scandalous ac-tions; but Weymouth was a man who did whathe saw fit, and steadily persisted in his woodlandwalks. The good men of the church were almoststruck dumb at this bold defiance of authority,but manfully resolved to bring the offender totrial.

It leaked out, however, in the course of thediscussion over the wisdom of such a step, thetWeymouth had led a seafaring life for severalyears before coming to Exton. This atoningfact, which accounted somewhat for his rovingdisposition, together with the influence broughtto bear by the younger men, led to a reconsidera-tion, and it was decided to let Weymouth walkin peace. Some still shook their heads overthe folly of allowing such wickedness to go un-punished, and gloomily predicted that no goodwould come out of doing this evil.

But the hostile criticism was greatly weak-ened by the lapse of time. Men forgot Wey-mouth the Sabbath-breaker, and thought onlyof Weymouth the neighbor and friend. Theyoung man (for at this time he was barely thirty)took the attentions of his friends and the assaultsof his enemies all somewhat indifferently, andshowed a self-reliance and independence thatfairly took away the breath of the villagegossips.

In the summer that followed this first spring,Weymouth was easily foremost in the sports ofthe young men, and came to be regarded bythem as a sort of demigod. As for the youngwomen, what doubt could there be about theirfeelings toward a young man, tall, handsome, andathletic, who bore off the honors of the wrestling-bouts and leaping-matches, and about whom,withal, there was a shade of mystery, with just atinge of possible depravity ? The Puritan maid-ens were not so different from other maidens,after all.

ever quicker when a sharp, energetic footstepsounded on the greensward before her father'sdoor. Patience Winship was not surprised whenGeorge Weymouth told her he loved her, andasked her to be his wife. Youth and beauty areever drawn together by a force as silent andpowerful as that which binds the stars in theircourses.

They were soon married, and Weymouth tookthe blushing Patience to the little house on thehill, made ready by his skill and industry.Young Mistress Weymouth lived but a few shortmonths. On one cold December morning, asthe winter sun was touching the stiff, green topsof the fir-trees with a softness not their own,George Weymouth stood at the bedside of hisyoung wife, and watched the last flickerings ofher faint spirit. The babe who had taken itsmother's life in coming into the world lived forbut a few days longer, and its light too went out,leaving Weymouth alone in utter blackness andagony of soul.

Thoughts came to him, in those first terriblemoments, of his early life on the broad, opensea, and for an instant he wildly wished to buryhis life in that mad waste of tossing waters. Buteven that perturbed spirit revolted at a thoughtso foreign to his Anglo-Saxon ideas of manhood.Weymouth turned again to his plough and axe,and the brief stay of Patience became to him asa beacon, arousing to nobler deeds and thoughts.

The years rolled by on chariots of flame,each swifter and more glorious than the last.George Weymouth became a man of publicaffairs, a Selectman, looked up to and honoredby all his neighbors. Respect and courtesygreeted him on every side. The school-chil-dren vied with one another in bringing him thefirst spring flowers, and were sure to be reward-ed for their pains by some exquisite little storyof flowers and the sprites that watch over them.

But there is ever a snake in the garden. Intothe village of Exton, as into the other countrytowns of that time, came a vague feeling of un-quiet. From the outside world, which after allwas not so far away, were heard rumors of at-tempted oppression, by the king of a distant

island. Foreign hirelings were already on theway, it was said, to enforce unjust demands.New England was to be terrified into submis-sion to what nearly every man believed to beunlawful decrees. One by one the ties of lovefor the old mother country snapped under thestrain. The feeling of humble petitioners forright, changed to bitter resisters to wrong.

In Exton the change was manifest. Neigh-bors met to talk over the situation, after theday's work was done and the cattle had beenfoddered and stalled. It was in these days thatit began to be whispered about the village thatGeorge Weymouth had strange ideas on thissubject of kings and princes. He believed, itwas said, in the divine rights of kings, and ofall those constituted in authority over the peo-ple. At first the story was received with min-gled surprise and incredulity. But soon Wey-mouth himself, in conversation with a friend,openly expressed his opinion that the peoplewere being borne away by their passions intodoing a grievous wrong. It was their duty, hesaid, to ask their sovereign for justice, but itwas equally their duty not to resist injusticeif done by one who was accountable only to ahigher power.

Some of the older men were influenced byWeymouth's ideas to a great extent, but it wasimpossible not to notice that many of the young-er generation displayed a marked coldness tow-ard the old man who had been hitherto theguiding spirit in the affairs of the village. Atthe next town-meeting candidates were actuallynominated in opposition to the old board, butwere defeated by a large majority. Still thefact was significant.

The feeling of hostility in the Coloniesdeepened day by day. Day by day GeorgeWeymouth met old friends who would not stopfor a hearty word, but passed on the other sidewith a hasty nod. There were few men whowere strong to resist the moulding influencesof their age. One by one faces long familiarto Weymouth ceased to light up with a smileas they met his clear, pleasant gaze. Thechange, too, was not without its effect on Wey-

mouth. His erect, vigorous figure becamebowed, and his long beard became yet moredeeply flecked with white. He was seldomseen away from his own farm, where he workedearly and late. Once more he sought out thecomrades of his youth, the birds and flowers,and found them again full of life and beauty.But to one so long accustomed to human inter-course there was a painful lack of sympathy inhis gay companions. The birds sang of joy, notof sorrow; of love, not of hatred.

At last came that eventful winter, and thenthe tragedy of Concord Bridge. The men fromExton were among the first to seize their fire-locks at the call of alarm. George Weymouthsadly watched the little bands of men hurryingby his house, on that warm spring morning,fated to become so famous in after years. Allthrough the long day he walked slowly after hisplough, listening anxiously to the dull reports ofmusketry. At evening the story of the day'sfight became known, and some men who hadleft their homes so bravely in the morning, werebrought back wounded and in pain.

From this time onward the isolation of Wey-mouth was complete. Men avoided him as theywould a criminal. Once, indeed, during thatterrible winter at Valley Forge, Weymouth,moved by the tales of hardship and privation,sent to the village committee a generous gift toalleviate the suffering of the soldiers. Butwhen an old acquaintance ventured to ask Wey-mouth if he had at last changed his strange no-tions, the old man straightened himself up andanswered, firmly, that Right and King Georgewere sure to triumph in the end. To the closeof his life Weymouth was left utterly alone.

There is an old graveyard in the quietestcorner of a quiet New England village. Thepath leading to it from the main road is over-grown with weeds and briers, and the gate whichonce gave entrance, is now rotted on its hinges.Soft gray lichens cling closely to every rough-ened point of the stones, mutely pledging them-selves to share forever the destiny of theirhome. There is one large slab to which theyseem to have become attached with a peculiar

friendship. Upon it their various hues of black,brown, and purple commingle in subdued, yetbeautiful shades. The last warm, rich beams ofthe spring sunshine fall upon the stone, andsoften the angles of the rough lettering. Thesun sets behind the great western hills andleaves the stone once more alone. But theeternal stars look down in unchanging silence,and watch the stone crumbling into dust, underthe tread of the advancing years. All is quiet.Everlasting peace shadows over the tomb, andleaves it alone no more forever.

Noticeable Articles.We have just finished reading a loud a book pub-

lished by the Harpers, entitled "From the Forecastleto the Cabin," ''and we quite agree with the SaturdayReview that it is worthy to stand on the shelf by theside of that nautical classic, Dana's " Two YearsBefore the Mast." Captain Samuels, its author, isone of the survivors of the race of clipper-ship cap-tains belonging to those times when Yankee clipper-ships were famous in every port on the globe, andwhen the United States had a mercantile navy. Heran away from school to sea, and was a captain whenhe was twenty-one; and in after years his good ship,the Dreadnaughlt, was as well known on the Atlanticas the Etruria and the City of Rome are now; andfor these latter and all their like, he has the heartycontempt of a true old "salt." The Saturday Reviewthinks he has drawn on his imagination for one ortwo of his stories, but we believe even in the rescueof the beautiful lady from the Turkish harem. Thereis a similar story, though with not so fortunate aresult, in the recently published autobiography of thedare-devil, Hobart Pacha, confederate blockade-runner and admiral of the Turkish navy, which bookis also a good bit of vacation reading. Hobart Pachawas a younger son of the English Duke of Bucking-hamshire.

There is not a dull page in Captain Samuels' book,nor, we believe, an untruthful one. Whether it willhave the effect he desires, of deterring boys from run-ning away to sea, we rather doubt. Its author, bythe way, commanded the Dauntless in the recentocean yacht-race across the Atlantic.

From rough life on the sea the reader may turn tothe equally rough life of a cowboy on a Texan cattle-

ranche; by perusing in the Forznightly for April,Mr. J.ohn Baumann's very truthful and very graphicaccount of his adventures in that capacity, in which,as we happen to know from private testimony, thediscomforts are rather under than overstated, andwhere as we also have reason to believe there arenow seldom the big profits to be made which onceconsoled the adventurer for his hardships. And ifthe reider wants to know what the big ocean steam-ships really are on which Captain Samuels lookswith all the contempt of an old tar he has only to turnto the article on the subject in Scribner's for May, en-titled "The Development of the Steamship," byCommander Chadwick of our navy, one of the mostbeautifully illustrated papers we have ever seen in amagazine.

This and the previous number of Scribner's con-tain extremely interesting unpublished letters ofThackeray.

To those who take an interest in European politicsmay be recommended the paper on Austria-Hungary,in the Fortnightly for April, and the paper on Eng-land and Europe, by Professor Dicey, in the Nine-teenth Century; while those who are fond of thestudy of mythology may read the paper entitledDemeter and the Pig, by that accomplished studentof the subject, Andrew Lang.

The current number of the Nation has a notice of"Celebrities of the Century," just published by Cas-sell. We can corroborate the Nation's favorablenotice. It is a capital book of reference, for infor-mation respecting all persons, whether living ordead, who have distinguished themselves during thenineteenth century, and about whom, especially ifstill living, information is sometimes so difficult tofind. It is a better book than "Men of the Times,"and is not, like that, confined to the living. w. P. A.

The place was Mount Desert;A simple student then was I,

And she a giddy flirt.We boated on a quiet lake,

Played tennis on a lea,And evenings sat and watched the ships

Fade into night and sea.The weeks sped by like arrows swift,

Till cool September came;My suit no longer could I hide,

But told with heart aflame.

Now probably you think she changed,And being but a flirt,

Gave me the mitten on the spotWith manner cool and curt.

Alas, there lies my present grief,For came no answer slow;

She smiled, put up her lips to kiss,With, "Charley, it's a go."

Up to the date of going to press, only oneclass has paid any attention to our request toelect Tech directors. It surely is but a smallthing to ask for, and one which the classes caneasily do. Brace up '88 and '90o!

The Spring Out-door Meeting of the AthleticClub, an account of which will be found inanother column, was on the whole a successfulaffair. In spite of unfavorable wind and weather,four records were lowered, which will make ourlist in "'Technique" look the better next year.

The Freshman nine has taken upon itself allthe dates of the game which the Tech. team hadagreed to play before disbanding. The firstgame played of these was with Tufts. 'go wonby a score of 8 to 4. The nine ought to haveno difficulty in defeating the Harvard Freshmenon the 28th, if they play as they have beenplaying.

For various reasons the management hasthought it advisable to disband the nine, andplay no more games. Clement, the managerand catcher, has been confined at home withpneumonia, and the nine has met with othermisfortunes. All circumstances are so adverseto keeping an Institute nine on the diamondthat the club has disbanded.

At the last meeting of the Chess Club, whichwas held at Young's, it was decided that nextyear it would be advisable to introduce musical,literary and other entertainment at the meetings,while still keeping up the main object of theclub. The officers for the next year are as follows:

President, T .W. Pietsch, '89; Vice-President,Victor Windett, '88; Secretary, A. J. Conner,'88; Treasurer, G. C. Kaufman, '89.

The fourth Annual Directory of the Class of'84, which has just been published, is a wellprepared and complete list of members of theClass organization, together with their occupa-tions and addresses. The Directory shows thatthere are sixty-two members of the organization.of whom fifteen are married. Mr. Chas. B.Appleton, Hotel Oxford, Boston, is the Secre-tary of the Class for i887.

The following mentions have been given inthe Architectural Department on the recentproblems: Fourth year, sketches for an educa-tional institution, ISt, Kimball; 2d, Perkins.Third year, design for an astronomer's house,Ist, H. G. Hodgkins, 2d, W. Proctor, 3d, MissRockfellow, 4th, H. F. Bigelow. Second year,design for a pedestal, ist, Bemis. An art mu-seum, Ist, J. Lawrence Mauran, 2d, Crane, Case,and others.

The Freshman nine has been doing good workand has made a creditable name for itself. Thefour successive victories they won week beforelast and last week were won by good fieldingand heavy batting. The scores were as follows:Tech'9go, I6; Adams Academy, 7; Tech '90,8;Harvard'88, 4; T :h '90o, 7; Newton High, 4,and Tech 'o90, 9; St. Mark's School, 2. A largenumber of the class accompanied the nine toSouthboro where they played St. Mark's.

A great deal of indignation is felt at the In-stitute that the Herald should have publishedthe score of the Tufts-Tech 'go game as 9 to oin favor of Tufts. Of course it was not theHerald's fault, but the fault of its informant.Whoever was instrumental in getting the scorein such a form, not only did an ungentle-manly action, but also threw discredit insteadof honor, on the Tufts nine. It is to be hopedthat the Tuf/onian will get the correct score.

The annual meetings of the American Eco-nomic Association, of which General Walker ispresident, and of the American Historical Asso-ciation, will be held in this city, from May 21st

to 25th. The sessions of the former associationwill be held in Huntington Hall, at the Insti-tute, and will be very interesting to students ofpolitical science and history. President Walkerwill deliver the opening address before theEconomic Association, and Dr. Dewey, of theCommittee on Public Finances, will report on"Municipal Administration."

The musical members of the Freshman Classare organized under the name of the MusicalSociety of 'go, the condition of membershipin which is, that members must be vocalists orperformers on some musical instrument. H. P.Spaulding is the president, and Messrs. Roberts,Rogers, and Spaulding form the musical com-mittee. Meetings are held, for which eachmember is expected to have a song or selectionprepared; these with choruses and orchestralselections form the entertainment. All 'go menwho would like to join the society should sub-mit their names.

At a meeting of the Directors of the Co-oper-ative Society held some time ago, it was voted tosuspend the rule of the Book Exchange, where-by students are prevented from leaving theirbooks for sale at Agent Cox's store during thesummer. This is to offer to those who havesecond-hand books further inducement to sellthrough the Exchange, and it is hoped that thismay increase the patronage. There are alwaysmen ready to buy books and drawing instruments,but the supply has been altogether too small.Let no one think that his property will not sell.Next fall there will probably be a great run onthe Exchange, and as much more than the usualprices are there paid for second-hand books,there seems to be no reason why there shouldnot be enough to meet the demand.

It should be remembered, that while the Ex-change is open to all who wish to deposit booksfor sale, only members of the Co-operative So-ciety can purchase there.

A meeting of the Foot-Ball Association washeld in Room I5, May 3d. The treasurer'sstatement was read, showing that with the assis-tance of the Athletic Club all debts had been

paid, and it was voted to tender the thanks ofthe Association to the Athletic Association.

The election of officers for the ensuing yearresulted as follows: President, G. C. Dempsey,'88; Vice-President, H. G. Gross, '88; Secretaryand Treasurer, O. B. Roberts, '88; Manager,Richard Devens; Executive Committee, RusselRobb, '88, R. L. Russel '89, and E. B. Stearns,'go. Edward W. Herrick, '88, was re-electedCaptain of the eleven unanimously, and F. M.Ladd, '88, was elected Sub-Captain. The Con-stitution was amended so as to make the managerand the secretary and treasurer members of theexecutive Committee. The Association haselected an active set of officers who will see thatthe Institute team comes to the front for thechampionship.

Wood, the pitcher of the Freshman nine, hasbeen making a fine record for himself this year.In the game with St. Mark's he made r run, rhit, 3 put-outs, 21 assists, and no errors; i6men of the St. Mark's nine struck out.

The Harvard Photographic Society have beenholding an exhibition similar to ours.

The Record says that Lawrence Moran is oneof the most trusted employees on the TremontStreet Horse-Railroad.

The '88 Mechanicals have been recently pho-tographed in a group, as were the Miners andChemists of the same class.

A meeting of the foot-ball players from whomnext year's team will be selected, has beencalled.

We are very sorry to have to bring up againthe fact that a number of men have not yet paidtheir TECH subscriptions. This matter shouldbe adjusted at once, in order to prevent disagree-able consequences.

Prof. Loisette's system of memory-training isvery popular with the colleges. Yale, Harvard,University of Penn., and Wellesley already haveclasses, while Princeton and Columbia are con-sidering the matter.

The Whig and Clio, the two literary societiesof Princeton, expect soon to build new halls, theestimated cost of each being $5,ooo. The WhigSociety was founded by James Madison, and Clioby Aaron Burr.

Voloput, the new commercial language, basedon German, French, and Latin, is now beingtaught in thirteen schools in France, and prom-ises to be of great utility.

Mr. Pike, the Hartford opera manager, is try-ing to make arrangements for a glee club prizecontest. Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Wesleyanand Amherst he proposes to make competitors.Prizes of $300, $200, and $ioo will be given tothe winning clubs.

Miss Mary Garrett has offered to endow JohnsHopkins University with $35,000 per annum,provided the institution be removed to thecountry-seat of the founder. The money wouldbe used to sustain a scientific school in connec-tion with the university.

MY SUIT.

We left the merry dancing-hallXVith all its brilliant light,

We turned our backs on one and all,On that bewitching night.

A cozy corner then we sought,Of light quite destitute;

And there with arm around her waist,I warmly pressed my suit.

She said I was her closest friend(Of course I felt that true),

But never did she once intend,To marry me, she knew.

Alas! next day, a wrinkled wreck,My clothes I did recruit;

I sent them to my tailor's straight,And had him press my suit.

- Willias s Weekty.

SHE AND I.

( Coimnosed while dressingfor a pfary. )

O sometime we shall meet,She and I.

I have never seen her yet,But I know the hour is set

By the fates;That she waits,

In some pretty little cot,Until I,Passing by,Catch her eve-

Blessed moment that will never be forgot!Then my bliss will be complete.I will worship at her feetAnd lovingly divide with her my dollars.

You must, I ween,Know whom I mean

A washwoman that can do up collars.-Brunonian.

An exchange says that Mark Twain and Mr.Howells walk around New York with armslovingly locked.

This is probably done to keep them fromwriting in the streets. Life.
