At this oyentful time somo Of tho news
| paper correspondents arc warming over
the story Of Garheld's trcaohcry 90 Shcr-
man in 1880. Nobody conyNrfant with tho
facts any longer doubts that when Garfield
went to Chicago tho presidential bee was
buzztng ia his bonnet so loudly as TO
drown and doafon his sense of entire duty
to John sherman
Architect John I. Barr, of Pittsburg,
who built the residence of II. NJ. Agnew,

hear that the turnpike company, which

Mrs. Lincoln's successful book, " Her
Season in Washington" is criticised be
cause it presents u pleasing picture of
society life there, in striking contrast with
some of the vulgar caricatuTcS which most
of Ter contemporaries who cssayed the
Same line ot fiction portraiturc have
drawn. But there Is refined and elegant
society IN the capital, aud il Mrs. Lincoln s
book presents this, it is probably not only
true to fact, but 10 tho associations aud
experience Of the author. Sho and her
country are 70 bo congratulated that a
healthier American uovcl than " Dcmoc
racy' and far moro refined book thou
Mrs. Dalghren'S has given nc q view OF
; social lie IN Washington,
The New Holland turnpike bridge, a,

> Bridge" has never been rebuilt Commits.
siOners and turnpike company disagree az
to tho responsibility for Il. Common
sense Gays the turnpike company should
. Iobuild II; suaky, nasty special law seem,
10 let the company out Of il, ana mean
, time the public suffers great iloonyo
nienco for the failure to To erect It. Some
: of these days the people will rise up il
their wrath, and in reasonable, orderly
, way abolish the turnpike and toll gate
nuisance. II the public have to rebulc
, Btnkley's and repair Witmrrs bridges, Il
is time that the public passed over then
0 without hindrauce.
