tlon-room to the balcony above the porch,
which commands splendid view of the
surrounding urban and rural scenery.
Two of the historical panels referred to
abound in admirable portraiture. The one
representing Garfield as a soldier illustrates
an incident Of the battle of Chicamauga,
when he rode through a storm of leaden
hall with dispatches for General Thomas.
The portraits of Garfield and Thomas are
very fine. In the group around Garfield,
represented as taking the Presidential
oath Of office, striking portraits of ex-
President Hayes, Vice-President Arthur,
General Sherman, General Logan, James

Odd Experience of a Native at
Nashville.
The Woeiul Story Of Old Bill Talbot's First
and Only Visit to the
City.

@ALD BILL TALBOT of East Tennes-
ENSk see was summoned to Nashville to
SN appear as witness before the
Uni ted States court. The old fellow had
never before seen town, but he was by
no means dazed. He looked with indiffer-
ence at the State Capitol, he blnked with
unconcern at the electric lights. and re-
Garded a railroad engiDe-the first he had
ever seen-with a sort of mild contempt;
but along in the afternoon he encountered
something that made him gasp with aston
ishment. In company with bailiff he
went into saloon, and there on table he
saw an elaborate lunch of the free species.
There was roast as large as horse block,
half-bushel of slaw, an enormous baked
fish and number Of other appetzng
features.

with bands of sunken tile ornaments.
At the base of the tower on the north

the custodian. The upper part of the porch
is decorated with historical frieze, divided
into five panels, representing in bas-reliefs
Garfield as teacher, soldier, statesman,
President and martyr. In these five panels
there are 10 figures, all life-size, each in
