"Glamis, thou art, and Cawdor, and
shalt be what thou art promised. -
Of course, when Mr.. Lawrence Bar
rett sent this as a congratulatory mes
sage to General Garfield, he had in
mind Macbeth, and wished to allude
to the fact that the general was now a
member of the national house, and a
senator-elect and to declare that he
should also be the next president of
the republic. This was a novel mes
sage, and doubtless the generals bo-
som swelled with pride when he read
it for the first time. But when he
meditated upon it, and thought that
in it he was hkened unto Macbeth, of
whom Macduff said: mot in the le-
gions of horrid hell can come a devil
more damned" he must have felt
quite differently. But the actors in
tentions were good, and the incident
will pass as one OF the pleasantries Of
the campaign.

whatever may be the matter de-
handing consideration. When he en-
tered the senate, the river and harbor
bill was under discussion. At a glance,
he saw how the interests of his own
section were to be directly and re-
motley affected by the bill, and he
straightway delivered a speech which
evinced astonishing familiarity with
the demands of southern commerce
and the bearings Of Irrational legislation
upon the same. So clearly did he
present his points that Senator Blaine
felt constrained to arise and say that
the senator from Georgia had made a
very strong case"
We are glad to fnd a southern sena-
tor thus devoting his great talents to
the material interests Of the country.

power in the south. We have had

E. P. Williams, a young colored
man, is the census e1umerator of the
Ninth ward of Bucyrus, Ohio. Several
years ago Williams was run over by a
train of cars and lost both arms, which
we're taken off near the shoulder. In
the absence of hands to write with,
he was learned to write By holding a
pen or pencil between his teeth, and
is able in this way to produce a legible
style of penmanship. He writes very
rapidly, and in his work as enumera-
tor, takes an average of two hundred
names a day. When he enters a house
he seats himself at a table, lays down
his book, and with apencil in his teeth
writes out the names that are given
him. When he gets through he picks
the book up in his teeth, places it un-
der the short stub of the right arm,
and goes to the next house. and 50 on.

Meanwhile, America as a food GEN.

cussion in the British journals. The
queens baker having received the first
barrel Of -four of this years American
wheat crop, he has presented a loaf OF
bread made thereof, to her majesty,
and issues a circular to his customers
saying: We take the liberty of for
warding to you a small loaf made from
Hour OF this years crop. Such an
early production in the month of May
is an unheard of novelty; and almost
incredible, OF the many wonders
we who have the good fortune
to live in the nineteenth
century have been the wit
nesses, we venture to think that to
eat bread which is the result of the
1890 harvest in May, 1880, is not one
of the least marvellous" Much notice
is taken of the efforts which are being
made to replenish the European oys-
ter beds by American transplants.
Recently 1,250,0O0 American oysters
were laid down on the coast of Little
Celt, from Gravenshoved to Rolk-
hoved, and a company has been
formed to lay down l5,000,00 0 more
on the Schleswig- Holstein coast. By
the fall of next year the Englishman
who now pays three shillings ard six
pence a dozen for his puny, coppery
natives will have cause to rejoice
when the English beds are replen-
ished from the same source.
