Garfield" The spectators caught the inspira-
ton Of the word and yelled "Garfeld " to the
top Of their lungs. IL was noticeable that during
the early part Of the evening there were many la
dies on the street The balmy air that prevailed
was enticng for a promenade and they wanted
to see Just how the returns were received, you
know
There were some half-dozen magic lantern

and each had full house At the Republican
headquartert on street there was the largest
gathering and the greatest good nature. Dis
patches came thick and fast, and their contents
were, without exception, particularly pleasing to
all Republicans They cheered each successive
showing and wanted more. New York, Indiana
Ohio, Connecticut and Maine, were all heard
from, and each state only swelled the vote for
Garfield and gave more positive assurance Of an
overwhelming victory. Down on the avenue
right around the corner, there were three or four
offices where the news was bulletined, and the
crowds about each were so large as to nearly
merge into one grand congregation. The Re-
publican office was the scene OF great utilization

The Argus rooster broadside issued four

pointing a moral or adjoining a tale, as
well as illustrating the irony of fate. But
the condition of the dilapidated fowls which,

friends, before some exceedingly long scores,
which seem to have been running up for
weeks between the Democratic chieftans, are
cleared off. There has been an ominous
sharpening of spurs and whetting of bills
on the Democratic roost outside of the re-
quirements of Republican belligerency.

We have been shown an interesting SOU

cal Democratic potentate, explaining to his
followers why certain celebration was
postponed. The handful is prophetically

legend, "But Tildeu elected" The bill

and as token that the Democrats have

mistrusted at the time, from the persistent
manner in which the Argus editor kept his
blinds closed for several days, that his home

In 1855 the State Register estimated the
number of grapevines then in the State to be
100000; in 1857, 2,25O,OOo, and in 1859,
1000 coo vines were estimated then in the
State. The estimated number of vines now
in the State is from 40, 900, 600 to 100000,
and it is supposed that this years planting
will increase the number to 50000,-
900. In 1875 France produced $780,
100000 gallons of wine, and It is be-
lieved by some of those best informed in wine
and vine matters that within this century, or
within twenty years from this time, we will
have as many vines as France had in 1875,
when, as we said, she produced 2, 10000, 900
gallons of wine

The influence of our officers over their
men, and the state of our discipline at the
beginning of the war is best illustrated by
an incident which occurred on the field in
the heat of the battle of Bull Run. An
officer who has since become very prom
inent and well known throughout the coun-
try was then in command Of brigade on
the right of the line. While riding over the
field. he discovered soldier concealed in a
hole in the ground, which was of just suffi-
Gent dimensions to afford him shelter.
The General rode up to him, inquired as to
his regiment, and ordered him to join it at
once. The man, looking him full in the
face, placed his thumb upon his nose, and
replied, .'No you don't. old fellow-you
want this hole yourself"

remarked, ''My dear fellow, man cannot

fellow, sorter reviving, "he's 'bleeged to

Rich fragrant blossoms dearest" low he said
" Rob not the tree of its fair treasure now
Wait till the rudy fruit comes in its stead"
The fair earth slept beneath the moon of May
in my girlhood, he in manhoods prime.
'Tis said his chestnut locks are tipged with gray
And my red cheeks have faded since that time.
Ten times hath autumn lighted up the hills
And ten times have the blossoms decked the

And now beneath the richly laden boughs
trembling wait for him to come to me-
All, will he hope to find the sweet May flower
And mourn the fancy of that by-gone hour?

London TRUTH


London is trap for the unwary. The
other day friend Of mine--a hale, hear
ty, prosperous gentleman--changed his
abode. His family had become too
numerous for the house he had hitherto
occupied. In the new house he took
some Of the furniture. The people who
went out had suffered from scarlet fever.
My friend only learned this when his
nine children, ONE after the other, were
attacked with the disease. His wife was
near her confinement. He took lodgings
for her at Bsyswater. When the new
conner was few days old, he was going
to see his wife, and for three hours was
lost in the fog Of week or two ago-the
same fog that choked Lord Anglesea to
death. When he reached the lodgings
he was seized with bronchial attack.
The next day he died, after his wife had
been carried into the roem with her
baby TO receive bis blessing.
The other little ones, away in the new
house, were stricken with fever. Seven
of the children are girls. Saddened with
the news Of this calamity, | called on a
popular author, a novelist, whose pen
has recently been engaged on the Sunday
edition of the Times. Already q -four
fishing and well-to-do author, and pless-
ant, agreeable fellow TO boot, he has ey-
erything that can make life pleasant, and
among his treasures seven daughters.

laughed heartily as he recalled the fam
lily witticism. l tried to join in his
mirthsulness, but l remembered that
dead father at Bayswater and those
other seven daughters lying sick of the
fever.
