In the course of a long and interesting

published in /; recent number of the \. y.

illustration Of Yankee skill and enterprise:
just after the death of Prince Albert,
his admirers had a meeting and voted a
committee, who determined to erect Il
monument to his memory, and that it
should be Il monulith, 300 feet high IL
feet square at the base. Having thus
voted they adjourned. The next day the

mitter Where We're they going to- get
such a stone compared with which
Cleopatra's Needle, described above. is a
baby and a pignIys baby ut that The
proposed monollh would he 30 times
bigger than the Needle.
While the laugh was going on, one OF
the committee heard Of the Din Island
quarries. The committee, looking tnl
possible relief from the riclculc, at least
which THEN proposition had incurred,

The erection of a new Keepers house ON
White Island Isles of Shoals, reminds the
Newburyport Herald of an incident that
occurred there many Years AGO. The light
was then kept by Il man named Haley. a
friend of whom, one Johnny Bragg of Sea
brook, was in the habit of fishing off the
Shoals, and in case of Il storm would stop
with the light keeper. On one exceeding
~ stormy night while Bragg was stopping
at the house and both were feeling, pretty
we'll from the frequent potations they had
mdulged in. the conversation turned upon
Il personal devil, and Haley asked Bragg
if he believed in one. ''No" said he, "and
if there is one would like to have him
walk in now Immediately after this re
mark a loud knock was heard upon the
door at which they both trembled. for
they knew they We're the only two occu-:
pants of the island, and no ol,c would ven
ture forth in such a gale of wind. The
knock was repeated, and Johnny Bragg,
recovering his strength. summoned up his
courage, and 'the devil or no devil" he
would open the door. When this was done
there stood before him 4 strapping negro,
reeklng Wet, which gave him another
fright and he ran to Haley and told him
the devil had got them sure But il proved

First Set Back for GARFIELD.

Congressman Garfield, in his wild chase
for the Speaktlshlp. got Il black eye from
Russell EWett. republican member-elect
from the Plttsburg, Pa, district Some
days ago Garfield wrote Il letter to Ewett
stating that he was a candidate for the
SpeakerShlp, that he was the choice of
President Hayes. and that it was amongst
the possibilities to organize the House on
a republican basis that he endorsed the
policy of Hayes as to the Southern paci-
tlcatiom and civil service reform, and he
should be pleased to have EWett's vote
The latter replied in due course of mail
that naSmuch us the President is desir-
Gus to have the House organized in a
manner that will not handicap him in the
administration of his Southern policy, he
shall cast his vote for the Speakership
tor Samuel }. Randall of PENNSYLVANIA,
whom, he thinks, will be a more fitting
and true reflex of that policy than Gen.
talflcld can be, lnasmuch as the latters
past history Is antdgonstic to that policy
and cannot be honestly in accord with it.
This setback from the manager of re-
publican politics in Pennsylvania, to Car
field, is the first indication in writing that
Hayes party have received that there are
always two parties to a trade 1t means
that if Hayes can trade with Southern
Democrats that the Republicans of the
North will do a little trading on their own
account that not a few of them think if
the Southern policy is to be fixed hobby
of Mr.. Hayes, its administration is safer
in the hands Of an honest Democrat than
Il charlatan republican, and that there is
far more danger of a split in the republi-
can party in Congress than in the Demo
cratic ranks. Indeed the indications are
that quite Il number of republicans in
both House and Senate will act with the
Democrats hereafter, when such action
will conduce to their personal interests.
