Boston, Ma.-.-., March ‘2o.—Boston has
ol'teu been dubbed the ( ityof (dubs, but
as all modern towns are becoming more
or less rich in club lile, this mi*ht more
litly be differentiated as the City of Wo
men’s Clubs. To accurately count the
number of private coteries having some
thing of general club temlenci s inaugu
rated or presided over by
women and particularise their :
varying aims would takt t 1 more
space than this letter allcnls. and to at
tempt at all to measure their quality and
values might entail some rut bin too line
critical gradations. The k-uding feature j
that sets them apart fioai lemale gather- ■
ings elsewhere is, of course, their dis
tinetlvely intellectual Idas and j
the remote legions ! thought '■
upon which they prefer to Ist this play, i
Some curious people here have been ;
trying of late to truce the germ of all this
mental activity to ils source, but without
marked success. The growth of leinale
chib lift*. or the numerous attempts
grow sometuing like old salon life within
Boston, would form a curiously interest
/lug study, if only in show ing how exotic
land alien to the soil the thing really is.
THE OLDEST CLUB GROWN DRV.
Sven tbe oldest baud of women here
fWbo have clubbed together—the noted
iNw England Women’s Club—have
veered altogether off Iroin the things most
Interesting to their sex to-day; or, it
would be better to say. they never drew
toward them, lor the older leading mem
tiers of that club are now precisely where
they were as leading New England
■women 30, 40 or 60 yr ai e ago, while a dost
of new thought, feelings, ta-les, and in
ttoreste have grown apace, through tusion
iwith new blood or Intimate contact
iwith the outside world's mode of thought
'and conduct.
■ U should not be Inferred that the Mew
■England Women’s Club is wholly for suf
llrage. Perhaps not more than one-half
(the members—comprising 200 or more—
lare really so, bub the club’s directors aro
(really so, and the club’s whole policy is
ttmaped according to their—may it be said ?
:—idealized limitations. This club was
(started shortly alter ibe war, in ISOS, by
[the then younger porliou ol the old anti
blaverv party, who had done good service
(throughout the war, aud found themselves
Dost without some public work on haud at
tits close. It started at the home of Miss
Abby W. May, wbo has been Its littaucial
mar. age r and meat controlling genius ever
Wnoe. It bas been Wept alive by
la yearly fee of membership and
Veztras when there is any extra
■outlay. In its early years the club enter
tained many notabilities coming to this
•country, hut its social features have
gradually dwindled away. The most so
cial feature of this club at present is its
“teas,” which oocur once a month, and
are generally presided over by the club’s
President, Mrs. Julia Ward llowe, wuose
woman of the world wit and manner can
In itself redeem any assembly. But Mrs.
Howe, though nominally at the head, has
little or no control of me management.
1 r she bad the club might take on some
cosmopolitan matures that would give It
anew lease of lite.
A CLUB WITH A BKPELLANT NAME.
The Metaphysical Club was lounded
some three years ago by Mrs Auagnos, a
member ot the Women's Club and a
daughter ot Mrs. Howe. It was meant to
cover a wider range, and meet wauts that
the other dill not tilt, and perbuiis because
Mrs. Turner Sargent’s Radical Club—the
most brilliant, versatile and able that
Boston has ever had—no longer existed,
having been quenched by that lady’s re
moval to Mew York. The Metaphysical
Club met periodically at the houses of
tbs different, members, and for a abort
season had a somewhat brilliant run, but
even before the death of Its founder,
which occurred the other day, it had be-
Igun to dwiudle. It still drew in occasion
ally the talent of a lew local celebrities,
but whether lrorn its name or something
lse, these were mostly Unltar -\n clergy
men. Upou the young literary bloods of
the day, whose efforts sprout most into
tflotion, it seems to have made little im
(Pression, and was lelt mostly in the bands
ot women, and these not eveu of the ac
tive workers in literature or art. Perhaps
Its name was against it. Metaphysics
have been pretty well exhausted by the
aermau adapts. Mrs. Auagnos has been
dead scaicety a week, and already au
effort is being made not to let this club
die. To effect this, perhaps, its name will
be changed.
THE ROUND TABLE.
Another club, The Round Table, was
started about the same time by Mrs. Kate
Gannett Wells, daughter ol tiie late Dr.
tOannett, Unitarian divine, and wife of a 1
well-known Boston lawyer, and also an
■ex-member of tbe Women’s Club. It was
•tartsd much on tbs same plan as the i
Metaphysical, only, as its name would im
ply, on a more roundabout, versatile basis
of subject—more practical and conversa
tional. Its chief aim and hope was to
capture the interested attendance of local
Utttrateum and leuding artists; but.
though Holmes, Howells, Aldrich, J. S. ol
Dale, Arlo Botes, aud some smaller lights
have been seen at its coteries, its con
tinual success has not been a whit mors
■Meady than that of the Metaphysical.
J-ady poetesses and essayists make up
ths bulk of the audience.
SUPERLATIVELY CHOICE GIRLH AND
THEMES.
But there Is still another small and
feminine club of some note,
started, or nt least inspired, by Mrs. Julia
Ward Howe. It is mtended to supple
toent the educational liuisb of young
’women, and is confined to uirmbera not
over 30, and is cal leu the Saturday Morn
dng Club. It is superlatively choice as to
membership aud topics of discussion, and
■no high and serenely intellectual that no
young man, they say, who has had the
honor of being invited to its discussions
has ever dared accept.
Besides all these and others there is
nc&rue a woman of any social life at all, I
even It she be confined to only an apart
ment in a hotel, wbo does not throw her
•room open occasionally and invite her
ifrieuds to hear another friend read a
H’paper” or ”110610'’ ou something or
lower. It does not matter much what It
'!• about, it is ■ list,mi. smile,
congratulate and go home cold and
feUDgry, wishing to heaven that vou could
forego ths ordeal,
THE BUCCEBSFCL TACT OF MRS. OTIS.
But the oddest thing about all this per
fervid attempt to found club aud salon
life Is that with the advance In thought,
lile and travel, nothing at all approach
lng tbe Utter in real quality has existed
here but fust once, and tbat started over
ihirty years ago by Mrs. Harrison ©rav
Otis, and kept up until interrupted by her
devotion to tbe national cause In war
times. Complete as an intellectual epi
tome of tbe various thought and “isms” of
the day as was tbe Radical club, it never
reached tbe easy, suave ebartn of aalmi
life as did Mrs. Otis’ ancient parlors in
Mount Vernon street. Yet that lady ber
sell fell far short 01 the intellectual keen
ness of many a tfHUt ol
to-day. Perhaps that was I he
secret of ber success, bhe had less scil
cenlied mentality and more flexible taut,
less stringency ol Idea and inoie catholici
ty of sympathy. Nbo liked diverse hu
manity as well as diverse talent; liked lo
have it about her to call into play to bring
people together who never would have
mst without her aid. and subvert herself
while culling their idioscyiicractes into
play. W hether it wan by nature or ac
quirement, she bn* caugit the secret of
tne tuoneseiul salon mistress, brarcely
L„*. Ua,r scintillating between
cere and Kurons escaped her ken, Ko
, ray at homo would remain undiscovered
il she knew it. She seemed to have made
ben rtf broad enough to asaimilate all.
Perhaps the smaller conditions of the
times helped her.
SUBMARINE BAM “ROSSA.”
IJtu Alleged Trip from Wow Haven to
Sink rh Oregon.
from t/i.t Hru> York Journal.
That the steamship Oregon was sunk by
a steam collier or a barge 6Cbooner seem
ed to he the general opinion on the floor of
the Maiititne Exchange recently. Cool
headed merchants and men lamiliar with
steamships of the Oregon’s calibre so be
lieved and their authority was considered
good until tbe diver’s examination
proved otherwise.
At the office of the Merritt Wrecking
Company tne supermtendant said:
“We have entire charge of the wreck
and are covering the ground thoroughly.
Our wrecking schooner and lighter areal
the ecene of the wreck, but unaole to do
anything on account of the heavy sea aud
strong eastern winds.”
Mr. Vernon H. Brown wore a philan
thropical smile when he received the re
porter in his private office.
“News?” said he; of “course we have.”
Mr. Brown then produced a paper from
Lieut. West, of the Fire Island Light
house, and read the official report of his
work in placing a buoy near the wreck to
warn other vessels.
Lieut. West said that be had placed a
gas-lighted buoy 600 feet south of the pro
jecting masts. Ho also said that the
wreck Iffy with her head northwest by
west, tbe mainmast sticking about 30feet
out of water, the mizzenmast 26 and the
jiggermast 11 feet. She appeared to be
lying a trifle on ber starboard side. Tbe
Lieutenant picked up some floating stuff,
inoluuing a lot of crepe, pique, silk braid
and a saddle.
Tbe light, he says, will burn two
months. Tbe focal plane is placed at ail
elevetion ol 3 loet above tbe water. In
view of the fact that the Ounard Com
pany are expecting tbe steamship Mervia
to arrive oti Sunday this light of warning
is n wise procedure.
Mr. Brown said he didn’t want the Ser
via to smash into the Oregon’s masts, as
be bud bad qpough trouble already with
passengers who were clamoring for reim
bursement for losses. If theServia should
sink on top of the Oregon he would resign
immediately.
Late in the day a dispatch from Fire
island said tbatthe rough seas bad driv
en the wreckers to seek shelter inside of
the island.
Some fears were expressed that the
heavy seas might break the Oregon up,
as she has not sunk to any extent in the
sand.
tV bile several shipping agents were dis
cussing the Oregon mystery on South
street a dapper little man, not over 6 feet
high, with an air of wisdom and business
combined depicted upou his face, sudden
ly edged his wav up.
“Look here,”said be, solemnly, “there’s
no use saying any more about it, for you
are all wrong. My name is Patrick L.
Moloney and I am from Mew Haven,Conn.
I am a Fenian.”
Mr. Moloney then said that on Saturday
morning last he bid good-bye to several
members ot his organization in New Ha
ven. They embarked on the Fenian ram
Rossa, which be says has been lying at the
bottom of tne waters in the harbor for
over six months.
Alter bis friend had disappeared Mr.
Molouey waited to hear where they would
turn up. Ha heard the news tbat the Ore
gon had sunk aud knew at once what had
sunk her.
“1 knew it was the Uossa,” said he,
“and on Ntinday night she came back to
Mew Haven aud anchored again. My
triends say she struck the Oregon such a
blow tbat they liad a hard job t get her
out again.”
He said that be was the Grand head of
a large Fenian organization, and tbat four
of bis men were on the Oregon and gave
signals to the ram Rossa, showing were to
strike.
THE SMITH SISTERS’ BIBLE.
The Origin of a Famous Work by the
Eccentric Connecticut Spiusters.
From th Hartford Tiuit*.
We five sisters and a friend oi ours met
together once a week for five years to talk
over tbe Bible. 1 said I could trauslate
the Mew Testament, as I understood
Greek, so every week we would read over
wbat 1 had translated, and they all de
cided tbat it was clearer than tbe King
James translation. Soon after this 1 de
cided to learn Hebrew and translate tbe
Septuagint, and this is tbe wav it
cams about. I applied to I’rol.
Jarvis, of Middletown, whose father
was then Bishop, tor some books.
Prof. Jarvis liad the best
library in tbe State, and I wrote to him
that I wanted to learn the meaning of the
proper names in the Bible, and asked if I
could not find them in St. Jerome. He re
plied tbat St. Jerome’s works were iu nu
merous volumes and that he could not
loan them, but it i would come to Middle
town 1 could bave tbe use of any of them;
but, be added,‘why don’t yon study He
brew yoursell and learn tbe meaning?’ So
he was tbe means of my studying He
brew. 1 studied it by myself, but 1 trails-
laLcd the beptuaglut from tho Ureek
before l studied Hebrew.
“Soon after iny Bible was published
Professor Young, ol Harvard University,
came 10 see me. He had been professor
of Hebrew there seven years. He exam- 1
ined my Bible and said: “1 must have
one ot these. lam astonished that you
could get the translation so correct with
out consulting some learned man.” He
was surprised tbat I put the tern-ss as I
did. lsaid: “You acknowledse that l
have translated according to the Hebrew
idiom.” He replied, ‘Ob, yos; you nave.’
Lie acknowledged that it was cor
rect. 1 translated literally, as I have
stated in my prelace. 1 have had a great
many letters from differeul parts of the
country In regard to my Bible, some of
them from oolleges. Tbe cashier of the
Hartford bank, where our money was de
posited, said it was roolish to throwaway
money to publish this Bible. He said 1
would never sell one. I told him it was
do matter whether 1 did or nut, but 1
thought It just us well to spend money to
print this Bible as to put it into a SI,OOO
shawl.”
KXTKUMIVYTING MACKEREL.
Urging Bill to Prohibit Thslr Taking
In the Spawning Season.
Boston, March 21.—A writer In the
Journal, urging the enactment of tbe bill
before Congress prohibiting the faking ot
mackerel during their spawning season,
says tbat il something is not done to pro.
teci this most valuable fish during that
period there is but one result to follow,
and that is extermination. Twenty-live
years ago the catch depended upon the
caprice of the flab, because they were :i|.
most wholly taken by hook and line, but
with the Introduction und universal uso
of the purse seine the fish art) ’‘gobbled
up,” hundreds of barrels hi a time. It Is
now the practice of the fishermen, tbelr 1
fleet consisting of lrom 100 to 200 sail, to
go down nearly in the latitude of t ape
liattrras to meet the fish us they advance j
northward to their spawning ground*. I
Each r f these vessels operates from one to
two purse seines, every one of which Is |
capable of taking from 10 to 600 barrels at I
a “shot;” each barrel contains from 150 i
to 200 mackerel, and every female con
tains from 800,000 to 400,000 eggs. Allow
ing onc-balf the contents or each barrel to |
be (ornate, it is found tbat with every bar- I
re I of fish killed during their spawning
season there is also destroyed about 34,-
<OOO.OOO eggs. 1 I
SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 1886.
THINGS FOUND AT ASSOUAN.
Digging up Relies of Thirty Ccntnrle*
Ago.
fro.a the London Ti'iirt.
The archaeological season has begun in
earnest. No sooner do we record one
discovery than another turns up. Last
week it was Athens, followed by the
Egyptian delta; and now we receive in
telligence of an important series of finds
at Assouan. The successful explorer this
time Is Gen. Grenfell, who has had the
good fortune to discover an ancient Egyp
tain necropolis In tne Libyan, or western
desert, opposite Assouan, on the left bank
of the Nile. Among the tombs already
opened are several which date apparently
from the twelfth dynasty (circa B.
8000), and are constructed" in the style of
the great Lycopolitan sepulchres In the
mountain above Sloilt. They eonslst of
two or more halls, or chambers, connect
ed by eorridors, the roof being supported
i by columns, and the walls decorated with
| colored bas-reliefs in brilliant preserva
tion. Several of these tombs appear to
j belong to members of a noble, if not a
royally connected, family, the beads of
which were probably Governors of the
I’rovlnce. The largest Is described as a
I truly magnificent sepulchre, measuring
HO feet in depth by 40 feet in breadth,and
containing .’lO columns, some square,some
round. It purports to be the tomb of a
certain Prince ol Upper and Lower Egypt
who lived in the reign of one Nelerkara,
and who is represented In one ot the wall
paintings as a lame man. leaning on a
crutch. A line “sbrino” ( t) anrl an altar
(more correctly, perhaps, a table for fun
erary offerings) occupy their original
I position in the innermost chamber, and
are in perfect condition. The sculptures
are very curious, and the aspect of the
whole tomb is reported as extremely
archaic. From the second to tbe end of
the eleventh dynasty there were how
ever, many Kings named Neferkara; and
until the inscriptions are fully deciphered
it la.of course. Impossible to say under
which ruler this lame functionary flour
ished. Tbe tomb is attributed by those on
Ihe spot to the third dynasty; but. it
| seems, for many reasons, more likely to
I date from the time of that Neferkara who
| succeeded Merenra, of the sixth dynasty.
The founder of this line. Ati, was a na
tive of the island of Elephantine, op
posite Assouan, and the place first rose to
importance under his successors. It was
during the reign ot Merenra, that Una, a
famous General and Prime Minister,
quarried the granite of Assouan for the
sepulchre and sarcophagus of his sove
reign, and built a fleet of 13 vessels at
Elephantine (or the transport of the same.
Pending further details, we should there
loro be inclined to ascribe tbe large tomb
to a nobleman of that period, especially
if the neighboring twelfth dynasty tombs
are those ot his descendants. In one of
these latter there are found a series of
Osiride statues,representing the deceased
in mummied form, done lu , baked clay
or terracotta, and placed in re
cesses along the corridor. This, at
all events, is an entire novelty in tomb
decoration.
The cemetery will probably prove to be
of great extent, as there is evidence of its
having been in use down to a late period.
The large tornb, usurped by later coiners,
was found piled to the celling with mum
mies, mummy-oases, and furniture of Ho
man times, including upward of sixty
memorial stela*. Gen. Grenfell is active
ly pursuing his work of discovery by the
help of our English soldiers, who con
tinue to open and clear out tomb after
tomb.
Bile Beaut!
What a funnv name for a medicine!
Nevertheless it is very significant as ap
plied to the article. Bile,according to Web
ster, is a “yellowish bitter, viscid nausce
ous fluid, secreted by the liver.” When
ever the liver does not act properly this
fluid is retained in the blood and poisons
tbe whole system, and sallowne*s and
misery is the result. Smith’s Bilk Brans
is a sure cure for biliousness and liver
complaint. Price 2o cents per bottle
