their friends. Photograph albums, in
troduced from Paris, were instantly
popular.
The cause of such extravaganza
was due in a measure to prosperity
and a plentiful supply of money in
the hands of both rich and poor.
Poor people had more money than
ever before, gained through constant
employment, wages as soldiers, i'm
mense bounties to soldiers and sail
ors, and great charities for the sup
port of soldier families.
One thing was plain: Many of the
leaders of the time cried out against
ruthless extravaganza. William Cullen
Bryant raised his voice for the OPP
position
Extravaganza, luxury, these are
the signs of the times. Are they not
evidence of a state of things un-
healthy, feverish, threatening to the
honest simplicity of our political life;
and threatening not less evil to the
ideas and principles of which that life
has hitherto been a fair exponent?
What business have Americans

with such useless magnifcence? But
especially how can they justify it to
themselves in this time of war? Some
men have gained great fortunes dur
ing the past two OF three years, but
that does not excuse their extraVa-
gance. Is there nothing worthier than
personal adornment? Are there no
enterprises open to these men of for
tune which would benefit the coun-
try and their fellows as well as them
selves?"
Growth of Agriculture.
One of the notable features of the
life of the North during the civil war
was the steady growth of agriculture.
In spite of the universal enlistment
of men in the army and the move
ment of population to the mines of
the West, bountiful harvests follow
ed one another each successive wear.
Although the crops of 1859 were
probably the largest in the history of
the country up to that time, the pro-
duction of wheat in that year was
surpassed in every year of the war.
Hogs, cattle and sheep also were
plentiful, yet high prices ruled.

Boston, and it is written as an in
stance of extravaganza:
Twenty thousand dollars in
stakes at the Lacledge races in St.
Louis, $4,000 at the Hartford driv-
ing park, $4,000 at the Union course
on Long Island, all in the great bat
tie month of May, 1864; $4,000 in
stakes again at Hartford in the fall
OF the year, enormous stakes also in
Louisville, Philadelphia, Patterson,
Saratoga, Chicago, Boston and Wash
lngton furnish evidence of the popu-
larity of the sport and the free flow
OF money. Enormous crowds were
present throughout, despite battle
news, enlistment, the draft and the
excitement of politics during a great
presidential campaign.
Revelry at Fairs.
"At the agricultural fairs the same
spirit was manifested"
In the third year of the war, a
dark time for the union, the people
suddenly acquired taste for grand
opera In Italian and German, and
many companies toured the country
and played to crowded houses. The
circus and minstrel shows fourished
and, in fact, every sport, from a
prize fight to college athletic events,
drew enormous crowds.
A New York paper, in the middle
of the war, found picnics and outings
in full blast, and termed it moral
heroism.
AS diversion, indulgence in reign
ing fads was quite overdone. Photo
graphs were popular novelty, and
a call for new troops and subsequent
enlistments filled the photograph
galleries with young soldier boys and

Conditions then and now-except

Told by Newspapers.
Newspapers of civil war times WV
idly portray the wild extravaganza
of that age. The correspondent of
London paper wrote in November,
1853, concerning the changed atti-
tudes of the American people in the
third year of the war:
There is something saddening, in
