GEN. GARFIELD IN EuRoPE-The extracts
from General Gar fields journal of four
months trip to Europe, made in 1867 with
Mrs Garfield, which appear in the January
Century, begin with the embarkation at New
York, July l3 In his first entry Garfield
says:
when entered Williams college in 1854,
probably knew less of Shakspere than any
student of my age and attainments in the
country. Though this was shame to me,
yet had the pleasure of bringing to those
great poems mind of some culture and i'm
sginaton, and my 6rst impressions were very
strong and vivid. Something like this may
occur in reference to this trip; and, however
much ignorance may exhibit shall here
speak of what impresses me- whether 1t be
that which has been adjudgsd remarkable or
not"
Not the least interesting part of the paper
is the ocean voyage, which the writer bore
without discomfort. July II, he writes;
He the captain says if this day does not
make me seasick, none will Heard from
him the story of his life Very interesting.
could almost feel the old passion for the sea
arise 10 my heart again. Were not what
am, should have been a sailor"
The London experiences included visits to
Parliament, where he heard the debate on the
Reform Bill of August, and which he describes
with vigorous pen portraits of Disraeli, Mill,
Gladstone, Bright and others to hear Spur
geon, to whom page of description is given
and visits to the British and South Kensing-
ton Museums, Hampton Court, the Tower,
Westminster Hall and Abbey, Madame Tus-
saud's, etc. The trip included also Scotland,
Holland, the Rhine, Switzerland, Italy and
France.

many others, he sometimes imbibes the eX-
hilarating and intoxicating fluid He stands

full-chested, carries his head erect and has a
straight spinal column. On November 10, at
about O'Clock, he arrived at Lincoln on a
ride from Lee, a datance of ~ miles being
thinly clad he was cold, and, being cold, nat
urally wanted something warm on the inside,
the cry; "a boy in the pond A boy drown
ing The ice has broken and lots are in the
water !" sounded on his ear. Like chieftain
of old of his tribe at the sound of ths war
whoop, he leaped through the door with In
dian stride, rushed to the scene of danger and
stayed not his pace until he broke through
the ice within about 10 feet of where four
small boys we're struggling for life. Then as
a wild moose escaping the hounds breaks the
ice with his fore feet, so Dana with his fists
and giant arms smashed the ice between him
self and the drowning boys. he reached them
with the aid of another Indian who had
plunged into the water, three were landed.
The other boy of about six years, had risen
and sunk twice, and was then beneath the
cold water, far from the reach Of rope or pole.
It was then that Joseph showed himself a
hero. Plungng beneath the ice, nearly chill
ed to death himself, he grasped the boy, and
brought him to the surface in an exhausted
condition. Life was not quite extinct, and
though the sled rope he grasped had to be
cut before it could be taken from his hands,
