The well known publishing house OF Hubbard
Bros, Chicago, have in preparation, and will
soon ISSUE the life of General James A. Garfield,
written by his comrade in arms and personal
friend, General j. S. Brisbin of the regular army.

rarely been equaed in points of romantic interest
and the more closely it is studied the more won
derful and inspiring it appears. 1t furnishes

An UNMANLY COURsE-ln its Issue of Sun
day last the Enterprise contained long ar'i-
ole exposing the attemp, of the Genoa Courier
to exact money from Senator Sharon. While
engaged in this perfectly commendable under.
taking, however, it's editor could not refrain
from getting in its usual stab at the APPEAL,
and in doing so it endeavored to convey the
idea that this journal was an accessory to the
blackma operations Of the Courier. The
argument by which he attempted 10 force this
conclusion upon the public did him no credit
~ journalist or a logican, and the effort to
besmirch the APPEAL had the result of weak
ening the exposure which he was m king Of
the Courier. The APPEAL in its next issue
pointed out to the Enterprise the absurdity Of
its proposition and there was nothing left for
the Enterprise to do but to make gentleman
~ apology for its work of Sunday. This the
editor has not seen fit to do, which only fur.
ther confirms the impression first made upon
Us, that the portion of the article relating to
the APPEAL was purely malicious and in every
way in keeping with the character of the man
Who penned it. The fact tina. the lying in
sinuations Was published in the Enterprise
and refuted in the APPEAL makes it all the
more . requirement Of honor that the Enter.
prise should set the matter right, as the
circulation Of the Enterprise is much larger
than the APPEAL. Unless we have wholly
mistaken the character of our accuser, We are
still of the opinion that he will refrain from
rendering the honorable anende, proper under
such circumstances.

A Big Fire

THE LONGEST SPEECH. The longest speech
on record is believed To have been made by
Mr. De Cosmos in the Legislature of British
Columbia when measure was pending, the
passage Of which would have taken from
great many settlers their lands De Cosmos
was in hopeless minority. This job had
held back until the eve of the close of the
session. Unless legislation was taken before
noon of the given day, the Act Of conhscation
would fail The day before the expiration.
Da Cosmos got the hoor about 10 A. NJ, and
began speech against the bill. lis friends
cared little, for they supposed that by or 2
o'clock he would be through, and the bill
would be put on its passage. One o'clock
came, and De Cosmos was speaking still !; he
hadn't more than entered upon the subject.
At O'clock he was saying 'In the g. conn
place" At 8 o'clock he produced fearful
bundle of evidence, and insisted on reading
it, The MIA iori,y began to have suspicion ot
the truth he was going to speak until tn.
next noon and kill the bill. For Il while they
made merry over it, bnt AS it came to dusk
they began to get alarmed. They tried inter
ruptions, but soon abandoned them be-
cause each interruption offered him
chance to digress and gain time. They
tried to shout HIM down, but that gave him
breathing space, and finally they sat down t"
watch the combat between strength Of will
and weakness of body. They gave him no
mercy, no ad journment for dinner. no chance
to more than wet his lips with water, no wan
dering from the subject, no sitting down.
Twilight darkened, the gas lit, the members
slipped out to dinner in relays and returned
to sleep in squads; but De Cosmos went on
with his speech. The Speaker, to whom he
Was addressing himself, was alternately d.'z
ing, snoring, and trying to look wide awake.
Day dawned and the majority slipped ont in
squads to breakfast, and the speaker still held
on 1t cannot be said that it was very logical,
eloquent or sustained speech. There were
dgressions in it, repetitions also; but still the
speaker kept on. At last noon came to baf.
fed majority, livid with rage and impotency.
and to u single man who was triumphant,
though his voice had sunk to husky whisper,
his eyes were almost shut, and we're bleared
and bloodshoi; his legs tottered under him
and his baked lips were cracked and smeared
with blood. De Cosmos had spoken twenty
six hours, and had saved the settlers their
lands.
