...front of my hotel a fine church, shaped like a basilica, was constantly illumined by Bengal lights, which clearly defined its silhouette without giving any distinct idea of its architecture. I floated to the harbor in front of the Doges' palace...
...excellent base playing of Kent, he having but one error credited to him, and that an overthrow to third. Hooper pitched finely, as usual. At the close of the seventh inning the score stood 13 to 21, in favor of Harvard, and at this point the game should, without question, have been called; but it was allowed to continue, Boston scoring six in the eighth with no additional runs for Harvard.

A distinguished clergyman lately said, he was glad to have lived at the time of our Great Fire, because he had seen it bring out the courage and energy of the citizens of Boston. Without taking exception to this remark, we should like to see another kind of fire, - a fiery exorcising of that spirit of evil which brings on a "baleful train" of disaster. We should like to see a warm excitement of the conscientiousness of individuals to keep them continually alive to justice...
