Narragansett Pier, Newport and Connanticut
Island, opposite Newport. divide the honors TINS

longer in going to Newport, unless one mas large
sums of money at disposal, as carriage is 1ndls-
pensable to comfort there, and the watering
place life formerly so attractive is now gone for
ever. At the Pier one finds an immense NUMBER
of hotels, with great deal Of sociability an at
tractiye casino and excellent bathing. But Con-
nanticut Island is becoming very favorite re-

Commenting upon this Grafton Spence's Peoples
Paper, published at Covington, Fountain coun-
ty, Indiana, says: ut is full of brilliant pass
ages which cannot fail to awaken the patriotism
in every loyal breast. The speaker, it clearly
shows, is endowed with no ordinary gift of lam
guage, for in this address we find gems of purest
ray which sparkle with brilliancy that stamps
the eloquent gentleman as one upon whose lips
we can almost see the divine imprint. We
have read and re-read it and pronounce it one
of the choicest gems in the English language"
AN EXCHANGE says the United States is a high
tariff country. as all know, while Great Britain
is equally well known as the very embodiment
of the free-trade theories. Under these circum-
stances it is hard to understand why such vast
amount of capital has come to this country
from that land of free-trade within the past

money into country which, at its last cleo
ton, emphatically proclaimed its desire to con-
tinue the high-tarif policy which has marked
its career for nearly a hundred years uninter-

the Britishers are evidently not such ardent
free-traders as they would have us believe
