GARFlElD,s INAUGURAL ADDRESS

"From Mentorto Elberon" is the title
of Colonel \. +. Rockwelps paper i'll
the January, CeHttuY, containing
among his "reminiscences the following
reference to several drafts Of Garficld's
inaugural address:
Perhaps no better illustration Of Cen
eral Garfield's mighty endurance and
capacity for work can be given than
that contained in the history of the Sd
and It'll of March. The 81 was passed
i'm a continuous round of receptions of
friends. and the imnnrtnnt cGnfnranGnS
relating TO his cabinet; the close of the
day bringing mwonted WEAKNESS, only
to be followed by banquet ut the
White House, and the reunion OF his
classmates. Returning late to his hotel,
some time after midnight, he redratted
nearly thrCe-fOurths If his inaugural adj
dress: his faithful and devoted secretary,
Mr.. Brown, assisting him i'll his toll.
The rough sheets of this important pa
per, now in my possession, bear testl-
mOny to his indOmltable perseverance

" tastes. These manuscripts are
VoluminOus, and exhibit in u remarka-
bic way his habits of thought and work,
his fund acknowledge, and his versatility
and reach in the handling of the great
problems of craftsmanship. There are
no less than half-dOzen separate and
distinct drafts of the address in W hole or
in part, each proftlsely adorned with
notes, interlineations, and marginalia.

bic and suggestive, and, if appropriately

IRISH BoGS RECLAInABlE

The total area of bog in Ireland Is es-
timatcd at 2,S30,O0O acres, nearly one
seventh of the entire surface of the
island. Ofthese bog, there are l,2I6,OOO
acres of fat bog, the remaining
l,254,OOO acres are mountain bog.
Without entering into chemical details,
which. however, we are fully prepared
TO do, We may state rs an uncontrolled
ed fact that nothing but well-dlrected
labor i REQUIRED to convert the greater
portion, if not all, of that land, now
waste. into the richest pasture or corn
land. Drainage Is the nrst, ana In
many cases the only, requisite To erect
this change. Burning the surface OF
the bog after draining has in some
places had an admirable result. Ctay-
ING the bog by extracting the clay
which lies below and forms an inn
pervious bed, and placing it as top
dressing is the method which has been
followed in other cases, as IN our own
Bridyewater levels, with the result OF
turning waste swamps into the richest
pasture of hay growing lands In the
Kingdom. Whichever of these meth
DDS be adopted, there is the remarkable
Characteristic that only labor is required.
No more capital is required than Will
suffice to feed the work people. There
is a great work to be done-a work 80
large that it is beyond the reach of any
private enterprise; it is work involy,
ING immense national benefit. All
neighboring landowners would be en-
riched by the reclamation of this enor-
NOUS bog. The island would have al
most new county added to its produc-
tive area. No money need be stuck I'D
bog. 1t is only requisite to apply to 1t
that muscular force which Is rettlng
itself into deeper poverty and misery
by enforced idleness. That the proper
mode for attracting the bog isa matter
for ready scientific determination, every
Woolwhieh cadet is aware. What Is
required is simply enough labor under
scientific direction; and when we reflect
that we want the work to be done as
well as the men to be employed, we
think no unnecessary strain would be
put on convict labor as a solution to the
problem. London Builder.

THE WEEK IN FINANCIAL CIRCLES.

The stringency in money has praeti-
cally ceased to exercise a controlling in
-fiuence on trade and speculation. The
fact that less than half million bonds
were offered to the Treasury forredemp-
ton on Wednesday, as against some
five and one-half millions on the previ-
Gus Wednesday, created only momen:
tary disappointment in financial ana
commercial circles, and the depression
on the Stock Exchange was due 70
wholly different causes. The reason Tor
the indifference felt i'll regard to the
course of money is plainly a we'll
grounded belief that any stringency
must be only temporary. The Treasury
has large payments to make on the Isl
of January for interest on the public
debt, and there is good reason for sup
posing that after that the redemption Of
bonds will go on more rapidly. The
great shrinkage in values on the Stock
Exchange, it should be remembered,
will also materially reduce the require
ments of speculation, so that altogether
there is fair prospect of comfortable
loan market before many days have
passed. Bankers generally look for
a return flow of currency from
the West after the beginning
of the year, when there is
always movement of money towards
New York for investment and DISPOSE
ton among capitalists to embark in new
enterprises. The semi-annual disburSe-
mcnts for interest and dividends to be
made by the General Government,
States, counties, cities and corporations
1, fn nf
certainly not less than from fifty to siX-
ty millions of dollars, and should the
present unsettled condition of affairs on
the Stock Exchange give place to even
partial restoration of confidence there
is likely to be an unusual amount of
money employed in the purchase of
Government bonds and sound dividend
paying securities.

MINE.

Not much of earth belongs 10 me,
A few short feet of NOISY ground,
Soon measured DER, in sheltered nook,
A little, lowly, grass clothed mound,
Not much-for all have lies here
A maiden young, and fresh, and fair;
A very flower in early spring
She seemed to scent the vacant air.
But death, with never idle scythe,
Cut short my darlings little life;
And buried with her are the dreams
OF when we should he man and vile.
Not much of earth belongs to me-
Yet is that little dearer far
Than any gem on monarch's brow,
Than light is to the evening star.
Not much of earth belongs TO me,
But in yon heaven of SAPPHIRE blue,
One treasure stored is all my own,
a maiden, lovely, sweet and true
Death may not hold the fragile flowers;
They die, but every spring tide brings
A new and bright awakening
OF all earths pleasant sleeping things.
So doth my flower bloom again
In yonder blissful, deathless home;
And angel wears her at his breast
Until her long lost lover come.
And as / sit beside her grave,
Shining in tender spring sunshine,
II seems to me IS though all earth
And all the heaven were wholly mine.
