the Edict Of Nantes A little later the
universal American boys appetite for
Indian stories seized on the child, and
when mis- mother had retailed all she knew
in that line he was SO impressed that he
gave each tree in the orchard the name of
an Indian chief. This love of Indian lore
staid with Garfield long time, and when
he visited the far west near forty years
afterward, he took fresh delight in all the
Mormons and other old settlers in the in

he inherited q trait seldom alluded to in
his biographies-the capacity to give a
very dry and cutting answer to any one
who intruded irrelevant or unpleasant
statements upon him. A journalist who
got this sort of an answer from hin, once
took particularly good care not to risk it
again. Considering, however, the ex-
treme traits of his early life, and her pri-
vations and tolls in the new country, it is
surprising that mother and son retained

Sectional Feeling in Little italy"

The various trades and provinces, it
may be remarked here, sustain certain
fairly definite relations throughout the
New York colony. The fruit sellers are
generally Sicilians; the first of them came
here by way of New Orleans, where they
formed the advance guard of italian i'm
migration; the typical bookblack is from
Genoa or thereabouts and the musicians
are from about Milan and Florence, but
more especially from Piedmont. The
Pielmontese are the aristocracy, so far as
race feeling goes, of the PENINSULA; their
own sentiment corresponds somewhat to
that Of the Highlanders in Scotland They
are very musical, ana furnish a number
Of notables in that field, among them
Cappa, the celebrated New York band
master. There is good deal of sectional
feeling with the Italians, but it takes
rather the form Of clinging to those who

Quarrel has its rise in this mistaken form
of patriotism. The Piedmontese and
Neapolitans ere especially antasonistic.-

journalist to report his speeches and
especially his noted debates with Hon.
George II. Pendleton; and in that duty
passed some pleasant hours at the Gar
field rural home at Mentor. The mother
was then pleasant, soft spoken matron
of rs years, and her stories of the early
days in Ohio had all the freshness of per-
sonal gossip and the clearness of well
written history.

years old; but she was no weak woman,
and firmly resolved to keep the family to-

fencing; the next year and the next they
cultivated the tract alone, and afterward
