It had all these qualities that make men proud of Mariposa. It should not be overlooked that numbers from Lindsay were enjoying themselves on the grounds. The directors are to be congratulated on thecharacter of the fair. ‘ It was not a‘ circus nor a museum. The degeneration 3 that is so much merited 1n the cities and towns has non reached this fair. The 'evident interest of the visitors disproved the new theory that fairs cannot succeed Without a large percentage of butfonery attached. The products of nature and art arranged in friendly competition arouse an interest and foster a sentiment that are more wholesome by far than a ‘craz: for the merely ridiculous and novel. The delightful weather made it a pleasure to examine the stock sheds and throughout their long rows one enjoyed a series of surprises. . It was evident that the attention of Mariposa farmers is being intelligently turned to. improving the quality of their stock and there is no doubt that this will be a. Very important source of profit in the future. “ v -- “IIIOI y. so far as we can learn, 1:; wa opposite. At: any rate 04.

Then he began tbs-:preparation of the memoirs covering a period of which he could say with as much trunk as Caesar in his “ De B0110 Gallico," “Alice! which I saw and part0! which I was." Grant had xentered Wall street because he found his income insufi'ioientfor his family. The genius of Ferdinand Ward dazzled him as it. had‘dezzled other men in the street. Grant thought himself a wealthy man.

It is altogether}; pleasant chapter that the life of General Grant presents at this period, brief though it is and although the mutterings at the storm are heard out 34' that clear sky of- contentment. In the. family circle or when surrounded by old zomrades he was by no means the irre- : spuasive man he has been painted. He ~ was free and interesting in conversation, . Hid, as Childs recalled, talked more than rany single member of the company, but 1 he added: “Let .a stranger enter, and he ‘. would say nothing more during the even- xfing. That Was. one peculiarity of his.” In these conversations General Grant ~sometimes wentover the eventful scenes of the past. He was generous in his esti- mate of the men who had fought by his - side. His admiration of Sheridan was un- s :xwasured. He used to say that “Little ; Phil" was the :greatest flghter he ever 1-. knew, and that another war would develop ‘Zziil:binl the supreme commander. His own reserved nature found in the dashing sol- ..lier’s overflowing spirits, boundless confi- -..:ieuee and sometimes emphatic conversa- :.:ion. a complement to; itself. For reasons liflfflnllch the same sort he had a positive ‘ :aafi'vczion for GeneralJohn A. Logan. He -.-r::xs proud of behhof . them and happy in mheir society. His loyalty to ~-his.1'riends was entire. afine of his principles was “Never desert a :fricnd under fire.” While it is more than rlikely that the famous “306” did not bear {with-them into the Chicago convention any real wish of General Grant’s that they Jae successful, he took .a soldier’s delight afterward in their magnificently faithful :fight in, his behalf and never forgot it.

Toldl In Explanation of the Likeness of n Girl on the Face of 3 Cliff. Many are the eyes that are turned daily to the picturesque statue that stands hun- dreds of feet above the busy village of Georgetown, 0010., incased, as it were, in a chisded vault and placed there in a most mysterious manner. With a. silent vigil it looks down upon the busy populace, a sea- tinel of noiseless guardianship. Yet how few of the many who look upon the. fair picture know of the legend connected therewith and the sorrowful tale of by- gone times that is interwoven by Indian history with it. It was related to a pio~ neer of Georgetown some thirty odd years ago by an old Indian with whom he camiied in Middle park. The Indian’s story. as near as the frontiersman, who still lives there, could remember it, is as follows: I Oh, the Frown, brown streams of March Are 1}.\: blue, blue streams of May, : 132% they lilt along with a lighter laugh .-‘. 5 they can)! on their way! Tin y sprinkle the bowlders brown With golden, shining spray. Thc y are arris:s, gilding the old. gray worldâ€" 'I‘Iuese sunlighted streams of May. Am. the brown, brown woods of March Are the green. green woods of May. And. they lift their arms with a freer swing And shake out their pennons gay. ‘ And the brown, dead world of March Is the living world of today. Life throbs and flushes and flashes out In the color and fragrance of May. And the heart I carried in March Under sullen clouds of gray, Is another heart in its singing joy Under blue. blue skies of May. For sorrow has vanished like mist Which fresh winds blow away. And love is blooming with all bright things In the light and glory of May. NAVIGATION CO’Y, L’T'D ‘vu . vunv w». , 1::qu u munch! WC 'fitween Bobmygepq and Sturgeul â€"â€" ¢:_I--‘- (A- SEASON 1897.
