The Steam Boat Blanchard, is now fin
ished in good style. We had the pleas
ure Of joining in an excursion in her on Sat
urday last, and shall not soon forget the
Impressions made by the beautiful and sub.
lime scenes which we witnessed. The wa.
tiers of the Connecticut and the Agawam
were higher than have been known for
twenty years, flooding hundreds of acres of
corn. fields, orcharding, and moving lands,
over which the boat sailed with great ease
and perfect safety. After taking the wind
ing course of the Agawam neatly to the
bridge. she came across the meadows and
entered the Connecticut over its banks
about mile above the entrance of the Az
avian. 1t is not improbable that no man
living will ever have an opportunity to wit
ness similar scene. Most willingly would
we have paid four times the amount reouir-
ed Of us, rather than have lost this opportu-
nifty. The scenery all about was grand he
yond description. Here and there were
seen spots of land, trees and bushes half
obscured, and the tops Of the standing corn.

THE PRESIDENT. Every citizen, who has
any knowledge at all of our public servants,
is acquainted with the remarkably laborious
habits of the President. He is perhaps the
earliest riser in Washington, and applies
himself to the various duties of his high of
fee, with an assiduity which is without ex-
ample, perhaps in any public man, since the
| time of President Washington. We recol-
lect learning the fact, that when he was
preparing his extremely elaborate report on
! the intricate subject of weights and meas
ures, which he was, as Secretary of State.
/ required by a resolution of Congress to
mako work which, by its research and
comprehensiveness extorted the praises OIL
| English writers-anxious to complete the
report before the close of the session, al
WHICH he wished TO present it, he arose dur
/ ing nearly the whole winter, at 3 o'clock
and occupied himself for three hours before
day almost every morning, in completing
! the task assigned to him. he accomplished
1t, and the report, comprising between two
and three hundred octave pages, was sent
IN before Congress adjourned. We men,
ton this incident merely to illustrate the
habits of the President, and show how nec-
| essary some relaxation must be to a man OF
sixty, when the heats of our long southern
summers add their enfeebling effect to that
ofconstant labor. Withoutsuch relaxation
and the renovation of few weeks annually
spent in the bracing sea air of his native
climate, his health wonld suffer, if his life
were not endangered by it. He, therefore
almost every summer, makes visit to Mas.
sachusetts of some weeks, which he spends
quietly among his kindred and friends, and
returns to the seat of government, prepared
! for the labors of the winter This has heen
thought so reasonable, indeed necessary an
Indulgence, for which he has the example OF
I all his predecessors, that it is rarely that il
has been the subject of remark or censure,
except by the vulgar and ignorant.

al cannot conclude this sketch of the
population of Mexico, without remarking
upon one great advantage which New Spain
enjoys over her neighbors, both to the
north and south, in the almost total absence
of pure African population. The impor-
tation of slaves into Mexico was always in
considerable, and their number in 1893 did
not exceed 5000. OF these many have
died, many have been manumitted, and the
rest quilted their masters in 1910, and
sought freedom in the ranks of the hide
pendent army-so that | am, believe, justi-
fed in stating, that there is now hardly a
single slave in the central portion of the re-
public. In Texas, ION the northern from
tier,) few have been introduced by the
North American settlers; but all further
importations are prohibited by law, and
provision has been made for securing the
| freedom of the offspring of the slaves now
in existence. "-H Yards .Ne1lco.

INFORMANT SUGGESTION. A correspon-
dent of the Franklin (Greenfeld) Herald,
writes from Bernardston that in May last, a
crack was discovered in the side of their
church bell, extending upwards from the
lower edge, a: the place where the tongue
strikes, about eight inches. "The idea was
suggested, that if the crack could he taken
out SO that the rough edges of it would not
touch, the sound of the bell would again he
good. This was done. A space about eight
inches long, and half an inch wide, was cut
out; and the bell now sounds as well as ev-
er. And it is the opinion Of many that the
sound is more clear and harmonious than it
ever was before"

THE STING OF Bee. Last week a
man of the name of Taylor, residing at
Glenlednock, Perthshire, was stung by a
bee in the face. For some time no remark
able symptom was apparent, except that
the inflammation which followed was attend
ed with an unusual sensation of itching.
This, however soon brought on an unnter-
rupted fit of sneezlrg, winch proved so pain
ful and distressing to the poor man, that his
family became alarmed, and sent off one Of
his sons to Comrie, for the attendance of a
medical gentleman. In the mean time the
fit increased with such obstinncy, that the
poor sufferer soon sunk under it, and died
in the utmost agony, before any relief could
be afforded him. He has left wife and
family. Edinburgh Courant.

EUROPEAN VIsITANTs. 1t is not a little
fattering to our national pride, that SO many
strangers of distinction are resortiDg to
our shores, for the purpose Of making the
tour of the United States. Among the pas
sengers in the Caledonia is the Duke lie
Montebella, son of the celebrated Marshal
Lasnes, who, as we learn by letter from
Gen. Lafayette, intends travelling through
this country. He is said to be not less dis
tinguished by his talents and liberal attain
ments than by his elevated rank.

"ENcKE" COMET. This singular lumin-
airy, TO which the name of "Encke" has
been given, will very shortly again become
visible to us, in situation extremely favor
able for observation the last time it was
seen here, was in the evening of the 18th
Of October, 1925 This comet is distin-
guished from all others by the shcrtness
and regularity of its period, [40 months1
and Ivy its small distance from the sun, when
greatest, being about that Of Jupiter; in
deed, were it not for its eccentricity, it
might, with greater propriety, be styled a
planet.

SAW YOUR WooD. ga very considerable
saving may be realized by using the saw in
stead Of the axe in preparing wood for the fire,
although very few Of our common country peo-
pie are aware Of the fact, having never tried the
experiment saw suitable for this business
costs but little moro than an axe, is as easily
kept in order, and with careful usage will last
many years. man can saw as much and
probably more wood in the same time than he
can cut With an axe. Scarcely any litter is
made, the wood may be all cut ofan exact length,
ard on the whole the annual saving to every
householder, by using the saw instead of an
axe, would, in the course Of several years,
amount to something Of considerable conse.

VeU- York, July 8, 1921.
My dear Sir.
A letter, bearing the post mark Of Provi-
dence, dated July I'd, and signed by you, was
handed me late this night, by an unkno wn
hand; and, as I cannot doubt that il came
from you, must be allowed to hand you an
Immediate answer.
In your note, you remark that you have re-
celved from ne letter, bearing the date Of
June 2lst, and then you proceed to make sew
eral complaints; charge me with indulgIng in
the frivoliies ofa city life-avow that the inti-
macy which has long existed between US, was
long since closed and that even fit were not,
circumstances to which you need not slluds,
| and with which am well acquainted, have
rendered it totally impossible for you to harbor
those refined emotions oflove, which you once
cherished for me, and add that you under
stard, that am quite a favorite with the gen
tleInen.
must confess to you Mr. O'Conner, that
the contents Of your letter, have utterly amaz-
ed me, and pledge you my honor, that the
ePistie you spoke Of as coming from me, was
| never by me written, and that | have no know
| ledge of its contents, or of the wret ch, who
| pcrpetrated so black a forgery.
From what you know Of me, and from what
you must remember Of the contents Of the
note, addressed you the day Of my departure
from my native home, should have supposed,
! that you would look upon the note, of which
you speak, as a base forgcry-unworthy Of
me, and one which l am not capable of
| writing. If you will place any reliance on my
word, you will not moment longer doubt my
innocence, and hence throw myself upon
| your indulgence, and bespeak your kind for
| bearance.
AS to my being favorite with the gentlemen
Of this city, l om certainly ignorant Of the
fact; but it would seem passing strange, if
were to be favorite where l am not known
Since my absence, l have been made acquaint-
| ed with two gentlemen only, and what may DO
their feelings towards me, l am as yet quite
J ignorant, and probably shall remain so, as
they have not appeared anxious to offer me
| any particular attentions. 1t is true that one
| Of them has said several civil things to me-
but not moro than gallantry would dictate
| certainly not more than Mr.. O'Conner, with
his wonted gallantry would say to any lady to
| whose society he might be accidentally intro
| duced. 1t is true, that have INDUCED in tho
| frvolties of n city life, if visiting of the
| Theatre can bo called such; but beyond this.
have not INDUCED though will not say, that
would not, had been invited.
Your declaration, that every feeling Of at
tachment you once manifested for me has
fled, look upon as sheer aifcctaton, and MS
| such shall l treat it; for, when | sec you
| again, vow I'll make your heart ache!-
Lord, Hal, you cannot think how handsome
I have grown, and my ONLY companion, Maria
Hardy, says that l have greatly improved
But I'm getting to be too giddy, and when |
| sat down to write this letter, l determined TO
write in a melting strain, and TO say to you
