A NOTABLE BIOGRAPHY.


Hon. A. G. Riddle, formerly a resident
Of Cleveland, and well know in the literary
world as the author Of "Students and
Lawyers" "Bart Ridgely," and other
works, has written very readable life OF
General James A. Garfield which ls now
before the public. No one was better
qualified for this important work than Mr.,
Riddle. His ability as a writer fits him
for any literary task, while his experience
in public life, his intimate knowledge OF
our public men, gained through a long
residence at Washington, together with his
intimate acquaintance with General Gar
field, qualified him prominently 10 write
this book. The work was printed by the
Leader Printing Company, is neat vol
ume Of 420 pages, is we'll bound, and en-
bellished with fine steel engraving Of
General Garfield.
The early life Of General Garfield, as re-
lated by Mr., Riddle, is endowed with all
the fascinating interest Of romance,
without losing any OF the Veraolty Of his
tory. The baclwoods home Of young
Garfield, his early struggles against adver-
sity, his youthful enterprises, his expert
ence as u wood-ohoppeT, his efforts to be-
come sailor, his trials on the canal, his
final determination to 20 10 school, are all
described in an easy, ready vein inter-
spersed with life-like scenes from pioneer
days, A fair idea Of General Garheld's
boyhood home and OF the character Of his
mother may be derived from brief ex-
tract relating to that portion Of his life
when he returned home from his first work
on the canal, where he nearly Lost his life

THE Loss OF THE STEAMER VERA CRUz-
sailing between New York and Cuba-was
a fearful one, in which z out Of a passeng-
er list of 10 were saved. The steamer was a
first class craft, and fitted up in the most
substantial manner and with great ele-
gance. She left New York on the 2Sth Of
August, and was struck by the hurricane
that swept the coast on Saturday p. m,
the 2sth. Tho tempest was such such as
to actually beat and break the vessel to
pieces, FIRST sweeping the decks, putting
out the fires, tearing of the matches, wash
ing many overheard, and fnally-about 8
o'clock on Sunday morning-going down
some 30 miles off the coast Of Florida.
1t is seldom we hear of so striking a case
OF so substantial vessel perishing from
actual force Of the winds and waves in
breaking up by piecemeal until she filed
and went down.
