1t seems that the Plebeian element of
japan fails to appreciate their cOun-
try's greatest and final victory, that
of their peace plenipotentiaries at
Portsmouth. With few filthy Russi-
an coins, she has purchased the admir-
alton of posterity and secured firm
footing on the mountain slopes OF
prestige. Long live Japan!
SABBATH.
Sweet lull in life when we retreat,
Into some flower scented nook
To drink peace from that Holy Book,
That guide board to life complete.
Out on the margin of the throng
Beyond the noise, today | stand,
And gaze into quiet land,
And listen to far-off song
That falls upon my troubled breast
Like oil upon an angry sea.
A strange sweet calm envelopes me
What else to ask for more than Rest
What part of the County Fair inter
ested you most? Was it the Merry
go-round? No. Was it the darkey
minstrels? Nav. Was it the races
Mop. All these are we'll enough in
their way as escape valves to prevent
the accumulation of lethargy and list
lessness to a damaging extent, but thai
which impressed us more than any
thing else was the evidence of progress
found in the stock sheds and round
house
Those Shorthorn kline were excellent
Those Hereford COWS were fine,
That big red boar caused wild com
ment.
Upon the size of swine.
The horses made a grand display,
The barley, wheat, and spelt
And golden corn did plainly say:
We're in a marvellous belt"
The weather man was on his ear
