 Col. George Ball is now canvassing agent for ssThe works of President James Abram Garfield, :" edited by Burke A. Hins- dale, president of Hiram college. This work, in two volumes, contains about 100 speeches and orations of the late president They tell more eloquently of the man than all that the living could say. He is here his own biographer. These addresses, drawn out by many and varied occasions, are models ofpulity and strength of thought and language, while rich in historic fact and wise conclusion. They show possible young however humbly circumstanced, %oi1innr r1lofnlu of thn %hrorYor oro which others may enter by the same mor- al and mental discipline and effort which characterized Gartield's life.

In- deed, no other authority were accessible, his speeches in the house of representatives from December, 1863, to June, 1880, would give well-connected history and complete defence of the important legislation of the seventeen eventful years that constitute his parliamentary life, Far beyond that, his speeches would be found to fereeast many great measures yet to be completed, ,-raeas- ures which he knew were beyond the public opinion of the hour, but which he confidently believed would secure popular approval with in the period of his own lifetime, and by the aid of his own efforts"
