If report be true, a most interesting
document has been found in Italy,
letter from Secretary Seward, written
at the beginning of the Civil War,
asking the italian patriot, Garibaldi,
to give his sword to the Union cause.
At that time competent American gen.
erals had not revealed themselves, and
the American government was no doubt
led to seek help abroad, by the tradi-
ton of Lafayette and other Europeans
who helped this country in the Revolu-
ton. AS 1t turned out, all the princi-
pal leaders on both sides in the Civil
War were American-bOrn.

Before he would sanction the depar-

And so it came about that Mrs.
Wheelwright held up a chubby tremu-

reached the ring-ftting stage, and
Washington society gasped in astonish-

Companion makes this comment:
There are a few of the intimate de-
tails of his business life which our
'obliging grocer does not wish you to
know. And that is why he sends a so
licitor to your kitchen door every
morning, why he assures you that your
children will be served as honestly and
promptly as yourself, and why he is
highly elated when you put in a tese-

many abandoned farms Although the
average value of the farms and their

Springfield, III. Should the Eastern
farms be restored to anything like
