He watched the blpdfolded boys draw

With good nature.

How Garfield Went Into Politics.

Edmund Kirke. IN his life of General
Garfield, tells how he was drawn into
politics. He says:
Garfelds private life was spotless, his
nature whole-souled and generous, his
personal appearance commanding and mag
netic, his ability and integrity alike un-
questioned and he was an orator with the
warm feelings, the fervid imagination and
the intense purpose which eleetrify great
masses Of men. HIS public addresses had
made him widely known throughout his
districe and 1t was natural that he should
should be looked to rs . leader IN the stir
ring times that now were approa ching
Up to 1856 he had taken but LITTLE interest
in public affairs. He had been engrossed
in his work az an educator but with the
Kansas Nebraska legislation his political
pulse began to STIR He saw freedom was
about to engage In q hand-to-band strug.
Gle with slavery. and. attempered as ne
was, was irresistibly drawn into the con-
6ict. 1t was the birthday OF the Republi-
can party, all whose aims appealed to his
Judgment, his feelings and his imagination.
He enrolled himself at once among It's
speakers and became ct once one Of its
most effective advocates. In speech at q
later time be thus alludes to this striking
period:
"Long familiarity with traffic In the bod
les and souls Of men had paralyzed the
consciences OF . majority Of our people
The baleful doctrine of State sovereignty
had shaken and weakened the noblest and
most beneacent powers OF the National
Government and the Rra'ping power ol
slavery was seizing the virgin Territories
Of the West and dragging them into th'
den Of eternal bondage. At that crisis tn
Republican party was born. 1t drew 1t
frst inspiration from that fire Of libert
which God has lighted In every huma'
heart, and which all the powers Of igno
rance and tyranny caa never wholly extin
guish. The Republican party came to saw
the Republic. 1t entered the arena wher
the beleaguered aod assailed Territorie
were struggling for freedom and DIRE
around 1t the sacred circle of liberty whic
the demon Of slavery has never dared
cross. It made them free forever"

BATHING AT BRIGHTON.
Estimate ofthe English Female Form
/" Gath y In BrooSlyn Eagle.

" Gath in BrooSlyn Eagle
There is little bathing at Brighton, and
in this respect was disappointed. People
do not come here flying from the heat and
plunge in the water to cool the blood as
we do. They fly from the cold an we'll to
those sheltered South coasts aud seek an
equal climate rather than q revulsion Of
climate. All the time have been here 1t
has been pretty cold weather, although
softening wind from the face Of the sea
abiies even in the dampness, The Eng
lishmen are often fine swimmers and there
seems to be no treacherous current here
bearing the swimmer off to sea, and conse.
quently the nude bodies of young Bright
ons are seen half mile out in the water
The women do not swim as much as ours.
English women battle In flannel, generally
blue, with no sleeves, the arms, which are
the best limbs they have to show. being
exposed 70 the armpit. Tie sun does not
scorch those fine, muscular arms, but mere
ly puts little haze or fog upon them to
tempt their roses out. They all wear bath
ing shoes, or rather slippers, which do not
hide the ankle, as the pebbles here aud
strong surf would soon lacerate the feet.
They wear stockings in but few cases and {,
l think, wear corsets in the water but little
The bathing dress is made loosish, particu-
larly below the middle, and ia seldom belt
cd. The legs are wide and not tied, 80 that
the British legs are revealed in their full
length and often above the knees. cool
measured and judicial view brings me te
the conclusion that the British leg is fail
to midding. 1t lacks three of the noble
el ements of the American limb-the large
round, tapering calf, the small ankle. and
the high instepped, well-born foot. The
British calf is like bandage tied on, bunch
ing once and then sliding away into lean
ness; the whole foot of the English womat
is p masculine article article, girded intt
abominabe shoes, which may be sensible II
design, but are without symmetry. thInl
we make the best shoes in the world fo
both men and women. We are the bes
dressed people, although the model Of ou
style is manli.stly Partisan. Continuing
female anatomy, I may say that America,
girls resemble the French more than th
English, yet resemble neither mnch. Their
is refinement of skin and Latin contrast
10 the French girls face difficult to surpas
but in form the French woman Ia almos
without hips, unless she Is a laboriug wo
man and is planed off like board. He
feet are comely, however, and her ankle
cut square, giving her freedom withou
strength Of motion there. At Brighton
saw some few rare specimens of beautifu
vital life in English girls; such had genel
ally darkish hal, dark gray or brown eyes
skins without roses, Of pale. brunett
tint. and bodies fluent, limbs long and mech
and heads cut fine and clear of the shou
ders.

Queer Inventions.

The latest wrinkle in gas meters is the

An automatic railroad switch signal has

A young New Yorker has patented what
he calls water skates. The skate is All air
vessel made of zinc and Theoretically seal

broad aud five inches deep with vertical
sides and tapers off, fore and aft, or at the
toe and heel, like steamboat. On the
deck, or upper surface, there is a socket
into which the foot is set, the opening be-
ing guarded by rim Of metal to keep the
water from washing into the socket. The
bottom is fitted with double gang Of a,i-
tomato rollers, one gang forward and the
other aft, with five blades in each gang
| The blades are set on sw,vels in frame
ten inches square, that hangs yer tically
from the bott.,m OF ths skate. As the
skate is pushed forward through ths water
the other blades are opened and offer No

foot, tfe pressure backward closes the
blades and gives purchase on the water
that materially aids in propulsion. Each
skate weighs about eight pounds, but In

Ladies' who do their own work will find

For the task by God assigned me.
For the bright hopes left behind me.
And the good that | can do.

To emulate their glory,
And follow In their wake:
Bards, patriots, martyrs. RACES.

Whose deeds crown history's pages
And times great volume make.
Hive to hail the season
BY gifted minds foretold,
When man shall live by reason
And not alone by gold;
When, man 70 man united.
And every wrong thing righted.
The whole world shall be lighted
Al Eden was Of old.

To feel that there ir union

To profit BY afiiiction,

Grow wiser from conviction
Fulfilling Gods design.

And waits my spirit. too;

For the wrongs that need resistance,
