The situation, as portrayed in the sectional
appeals of the Garfield organs, is thus accu
rately sketched: Let us suppose the case of
man who left his country in 1865, after the
surrender of Appomattox. He has been in
the meantine-more than fifteen years-in a
country where no information of what was
going on IN America was to be obtained. He
went away at a time when the best men of
all parties were turning their attention to the
best means of reconciliation. We will say
that the STRIPPING Of twenty-one has develop
ed into the husband and father and bearded
man at thirty-six, and that when he lands
once more on American soil he is, above all
things, anxious to know what has been going
on while he was away. whats this 20 he
says, as he catches sight of the headlines of
newspaper, Why, there has been another

would rise to the mind of any man under
these circumstances Fifteen years and a
half have passed since Lee gave up his sword
at Appomattox, and yet the newspapers are
full of accounts of the fighting of the great
battle of the rebellion over again! Forgive

ten years. Every county has increased, but

good portion Of tie time between tile census
of 1870 and the present one, suffered from
one of those periods of standing still which
overtake every country. 1t had enjoyed its
"boom" before the 20 census, and another

And know quite well what they mean:
No woman can fool me-much.

I've seen her and heard her sing;
But men don't marry with angels
At least as general thing;
And beauty. ana music, and love,
Are all just the sllliest stuff.
If man must marry, a woman
Is just about good enough.
And this "angel," Netty Demaine,
Isn't worth one dollar, know
Not dollar to call her own
And you'll have million or so.
Any man in his senses, Tom.
Any man level and coal,
Could see that she's after your gold,
Or else-hes a tip-top fool
rejected you ~ What's that you saye y
Rejected Tom Tyrrell! By Jove!
