few strollers wandered about, doing |
lothing in particular, and the apple girls who
ispense peanuts and other forenoon delica-

department. there is the same summers
ethargy apparent, whilst the offices of the

'rily. There was nothing to do.
Griffin came from New York, where he fig
red as an officer in the famous negro militia
