persons from the rife range visiting Good
Hope and passing through Garfield.
Members Of the association say that W.
H. Lewis, jr., who addressed the letter
to the Commissioners, is not a member of
the association. They declare further
that they can find no one who does not
comment favorably on the conduct of the
persons passing between the two points
in question.
The members of the Garfield Association
appear to feel that the communication of
Mr.. Lewis was a reflection upon the police
patrolling the section. as we'll as upon the
citizens and the soldiers.
The members expressed themselves
freely at the meeting as being able, with
the cooperation of the police, which they
have, to fully cope with any disorderly
conditions. should they ever arise

II you please; this is a busy time.
Hy!-rig the whip; here's the lady
coming off to u.s."
The missionary heaved a deep
sigh, and went down into the boat
that had brought him. But he was
no sooner seated that he ordered
the boatmen, somewhat peremptor-
lily, to pull ashore as fast as they
could row.
His boat met the Rollestons,
father and daughter, coming out,
and he turned his pale face and
eyed them as he passed Helen
Rolleston was struck with that sor-
rowful countenance and whispered
her father, "That poor clergyman
has just left the ship" She made
sure he had been taking leave of
some beloved one, bound for Eng
land. Gen. Rolleston looked round,
but the boats had passed each other
and the wan face was no longer
visible.
They were soon on board, and re-
ceived with great obsequiousness.
They exchanged a last embrace,
and Gen. Rolleston went down the
ships side. Helen hung over the
bulwarks and waved her last adieu
though she could hardly see him for
her tears.
At this moment a four-oared
boat swept alongside; and Mr..
Hazel came on board again. He pre-
scented Hudson written order to
give the Rev. John Hazel a passage
in the small berth abreast the main
matches. 1t was signed For White

dorsed with a stamped acknowl-
edgment Of the passage money,

There, that is enough palaver,

way. Hoist the parsons traps

He then gave his orders In stem
