QUITE number of our stalwart Re-
publican exchanges are beginning to
draw affecting and picturesque contrasts
between Garfield as a canal boy, at the
helm of gondola of the Wabash and

Having really been, at one time, in that
honorable position this great patent law
yer ought to instruct these enthu siastic,
but illy-posted, supporters, that canal
boy is not at the helm of the boat. He
is only at the helm of the mule,

HARPER's Magazine for July, apart
from its splendid pictorial attractions,
is an exceedingly popular Number.
One of it's strongest features is the be-
ginning of new serial novel, by Henry
James, Jr., entitled stWashington
Square, This story is entirely Ameri-
can; and, while it has all those char
acteristfc charms by which this author
has won his way to the popular heart,
it shows signs of greater strength than
of his previous novels. The number
opens with brief but excellent article
on the late William M. Hunt, by Miss
Maria, r. Oakley, with a mastery
portrait of the artist, and repro
ductious of three of his characteristic
paintings. But the most popular article
in the Number, probably, is Mrs.
Oliphant's interesting biographical
sketch of Queen Victoria. Five por-
traits of the Queen, at different periods,
are given; also, portraits of the Queens
and of Prince Albert's father and
mother, of the Prince of Wales and the
Princess Royal as little children, with
other interesting illustrations. Among
the many interesting contents of the
Editors Draaoer is very humorous
illustration by Abbey, entitled 'Little
Robert Reed.''
1t was In 1855 that the temperance peo.
pie of PaiHesville were a good deal work

after meeting, and discussed all sorts of
plans for getting rid of the obnoxious in.

practical outcome was concerned. Dur
ing that time Gen. Garfield returned
home from the army, and attended the
next temperance meeting as an earnest,
enthusiastic temperance man. The same
old subject of the brewery came up. At
ter listening few minutes the General
rose UP and said: ssIt is the easiest thing
in the world to dispose of that brewery.
will agree to do it in an hour" The an
nouncement took them all by surprise, of
course. Suppress in one hour the nuis-
ance they had SO long bothered their
heads over? Do in one hour what they
tailed to do in six monthsf 1t seemed
almost impossible. but he soon showed
them he meant business. He went over
to the brewery, and in less than an hour
he had purchased the whole property and
paid the cash, some $40. .OOO believe. He
destroyed all the manufactured liquor
and all the exclusive brewery machinery
What disposal to make of the property
was now the question. 1t did not lie idle
long, however. The next fall he con-
verted the building and machinery into a
large cider mill, and made hundreds of
barrels of cider. Not one drop OF cider
would he sell or give away, for he was
too strict temperance man co think IL
right to drink even cider; but every bar
rel of it he kept until it had become cider
vinegar, and then sold it.-Penny Press,

The Press is mistaken. When Mr..
Garfield bought the brewery he immedia-
