Of Radicalism. There is where the evil

has no further Use for it, but proceeds
to explain why no good thing can come
out OF Nazareth. By the time all the
elections arc over this fall, we shall nc

pressed by the Register for New England

the admission 10 West Point Of Guy K,
Beardsley, one Of his pupils, who was
appointed in March, 1875, by the Repub'

furnish the appointment for $1,000
with the condition that the boy should
make residence in Alabama, for. which
State he was appointed. The appoint
lnent was made and $4,000 paid Lilly and
the boy and his mother resided two
months in Tuscaloosa. Lilly denies that
the boy received dollar OF the fee which
he took from Charleir. He says he prac-
ticed an innocent deceptiopl on Hays by
assnrihg him that the boy was q bona
