figure Of the Greeks meeting Greeks
when speaking OF the conflict of arms
between the federals and the confeder-
ates. and said that lin such contest
you know exactly how it would tcrmi-
nate. The party in that fight will all
ways conquer who has the most Greeks.
IL was no discredit TO you and no special
credit TO MS that the war turned out as
IL did, The phrase causing discussion,

low the example of Postmaster Key in
explaining Ii is now in order for
Postmaster Key to telegraph over tae
country that erring brother Hayes,
meaning what he said, is not frightened

York and San Francisco was accom-
plished i'll twenty days, and we were
just the same number of days going
from San Francisco to Yokohama,
Japan. Crossing over from there to
Canton, in China, took six days. A
sail of ten days over the China Sea
and through the Strait of Malacca,
touching at several points we have
not time to notice, brought us to Cey-
Ion, off the southern coast of 1IindOO-
stan, and one of the East India
islands. Thence we sailed directly
for Suez in Egypt, which took twelve
days, and from thence in a few hours
by rail to Alexandria, our starting
point, making the entire distance of
25,0o0-lG,00o by water, and 5000 by
land-in sixty-eight days, without ac-
cident or detention.

The Ill Luck of Northampton,
Mass.

For peaceful old country town the
record of Northampton, Mass, for
the past half dozen years makes a
most amazing story. Back in 1870
the place bonded itself for 100000 to
aid the ncycr-built Massachusetts,
Central road. This is reckoned a
dead loss, and the total payment, in
terest and all, will he 100000. In
that year the Edwards church was
burned with loss of $4,000 above
insurance. In 1874 the Mill River
disaster, by which fifty-one lives were
lost, a great deal of damage done to
manufacturing establishments, sever
al industries driven away, and $50, DOC
worth Of town property lost. Then
the town had TO pay $4,000 for the
freeing Of the Hadley bridge and So
600 for that at South Hadley Falls.
Then came the financial panic which
has produced not less than $2,0O0,0OO
of failures there, including one COM
pany whose capital of 100000 has
been wiped out. Then the old bank
was robbed of about 100000, and
the old church, the pride of the place
was burned. Now the lIadley bridge
has been carried off by a tornado
Every injurious influence, either of
design or accidcnt-malice, Ignorance,
fire. wind and water-seems to have
been spent upon this devoted town.
BY actual computation it is reckoned
that two-ihirds of this amount of the
grand list has been lost there i'm six
years. Yet il is New England town
which means the people are as far
as ever from giving up. Manutac-
turing companies re-organize, the
Mill River dam is to be built at once,
and hope flows perennial.
