THE WRITERS' CLUB.
A large number of members and friends met at the Writers' Club for the weekly meeting, when Mr. W. Boyle, Consul for America, gave an. interesting address. Mrs. I. M. Cluett presided and introduced the speaker and Mrs. Boyle to the members. Mr. Boyle gave a pic'luresquely-worded and vivid description of his boyhood's home-town, Augusta, in one of the Southern States. He spoke eloquently of tho old tree-embowered town, tho long avenues of luxuriantly-growing wild roses, the placid river flowing on, where continually one watched the long boats go by poled by negro crews and heard the plaintively-sweet spirituals slowly and melodiously chanted to the movement of the boats. In his short talk Mr. Boyle created for his listeners the romantic atmosphere of the old world bouth <tnd drew a picture which will never bo forgotten. Tho afternoon concluded with a vole of thanks to the speaker and the presen tation of a bouquet of anemones and ranunculi to Mrs. Boyle, after which afternoon tea was served.
