He was not re- pulsive looking, not particularly at tractive, rather like a waiter you hire for a dinner party.

BEST LOVERS.

ADORABLE AMERICAN MEN.

The qualities of American men as compared with those of her own countrymen are praised by Mrs. Clare Sheridan, the sculptor, in an interview at Los Angeles, which city she is visiting in the course of her tour of the United States.

At Darien, in Georgia, the post office was burnt down, and the post- Through his marriage with a

NEW YORK'S BAD DAYS.

Of New York in 1869 there is this picture:

The government of the city was worst in the civilised world. The judges were ignorant, corrupt men, put into office as a reward for political services, Government crntractors were robbers of the people, making large fortunes out of the contracts, and the detectives and the police were in the pay of the thieves, and a newspaper contributor was shot in the office of the Tribune.
