Cleveland out of nearly five million
votes received less than two millions
from the South. The States of New
York, Indiana, New Jersey and
Connecticut are not contingent and
fragmentary; neither are Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa,

the other hand, nearly all the South

We learn through a note from
Miss Mclean, the author of Cape
Cod Folks" that the poem, The
Master of the Sheepfold, which has
recently excited 50 much attention,
wa. written by her with the story of
"Towhead" "in an attempt to catch
the spirit of the negro character,
who utters it when in a softeneG and
melancholy frame of mind. 1t had
no title"
Thi. settles the question which has
been raised by the admirers of the
late Mr.. Erwin Russell, who, with
out any positive knowledge on the
subject, have supposed that he ight
have written this poem of merit. We
think that no one will any longer
dispute that Miss Mclean is enti-
tied TO all the honor belonging to this
most beautiful production.--Ne''

The name Of Augustus IL. Garland,
United States Senator from Arkansas,

will call To his counsels. He il a learned,

and the remarkable evidences of states
mapship which he has exhibited in IA
career comparatively but short.
He was born in Upton county, Tens.
nessee June IL, 1852. A year afterwards
his parents removed into the State of
Arkansas, of which Mr.. Garland has
been a resident ever since, with the ex-
cep,ion of the time he spent in acquir-
ing an education.
At n suitable age he was removed
from the freedom of his fathers farm 10

quired his academical training at Bards-
town, Kentucky, where he WAS an
inmate Of Saint Mary's and afterwards
Saint Joseph's, two Catholic colleges
There too he decided upon becoming a
lawyer. and began TO read sheepskin
hound hooks and to follow the proceed
ings OF courts of justice with the view
Ia future appearances in "A professional
capacity.
He was admitted 10 practice at WASH
ington. Arkansas, in the year 1858, and
immediately opened an office. Ia 1856
he removed to Little Rock, the capital
ofthe State, where he built up an excel.

however, it became inevitable he went

passed the ordinance of secession, and
Of the Provisional Congress Of the Con
federscy, which met at Motgomery

cause which collapsed with the surren.

for readmis-ion Ia practice within IL
The i-On-clad oath stood in his way
and he accompanied his application
with an argument intended to show
the unconstitutionality Of that reqire
ment. la December, 1867, the Su

Mr., Garland. Meantime the states
man WAS denied the seat in the Un;te'

"Mr. Cleveland will probably have
a good deal Of influence with his ad-

guished men of his party there are
none of more positive character, OF
clearer comprehension of the political
situation, or unbending resolution,

questionably severely tested, like
that of every President. But his
temperament is of the kind that the
office of President especially requires,

No nobler figure ever stood in fore
front of a nations life. Washington
was grave and courteous i'll address;
his manners were simple and unpre-
tending; his silence and the serene
calmness of his temper spoke of a
perfect self-mastery; but there was
little in his outer bearing to reveal
the grandeur of soul which lifts his
figure, with all the simple majesty OF
an acient statue, out of the smaller
passions, the meaner impulses of the
world around him.-JOhH Richard

The writing of one page excites
the desire of learning more strongly
than the reading of a whole book.
Many readers of select school Libraries
are scarcely able to write clear and
good account of a fatal accident or Il
request for charitable assistance for a
newspaper. And it is equally true
that many writers are just as indif-
ferent speakers: they resemble many
great merchants in Amsterdam who
have no warehouse, but only a writ
ting-room; give them time, however,
and they will procure the goods by
writing. Corneille spoke badly, but
made his heroes declaim excellently.
Regard every pupil for examination
Us stammering dumb Corneille, and
provide him II room, time, and pen;
he will speak by these and so pass q
very good eXamination.-Jedn Paut

MENTAL ABERRATIoN.-A pro-
fessor at one of the German univer-
stiles was expatiating on the wretch
ed condition of the people during the
Thirty Years War, when he ex-
claimed in the heat of his discourse:
"The cup of their misery was over
flowing, vet it was not full by a long
wayw The same gentleman re-
marked in the course of a lecture on
Robespierre; The man of terror left
no children when he died, except q
brother who was executed a quarter
of an hour before him." The son of
thi. professor, who had joined a
scientific expedition to the island of
Java, wrote to his father as follows:
'The climate here is charming, and
i; is false to assert that it is injuri
ous to Europeans; but there are a
number of persons who come out
here from Europe, and do nothing
but eat and drink, and drink and eat
again until they get the fever, which
kills them, and then they sit down
and write home to say that the bad
climate is to blame for it!"- Votkskd-
