In traditional costume of tho fel low who whipped Spain Mr. Holman made an excellent representation of him.

She was an independent gal brought upon the old mans' place, and when she met Uncle Sam at Bunker Mill, when he whaled biases out of tins old nun and his hired hands, she was stuck after htm, and they united atil have been together ever since Uncle S.im grew, taking all kiu'ds of uu-dU-iiie. tie tells tbe story ot his lite Iroui July 1878, in a very humorou way, euggc; tng the ;iaou of history with urig'iial ity, introducing the main events of the history of our country to the lickinv of Spain, in a manner peculiarly his own, j getting in some excellent hits occasional- j ly In a telling manner, and closing with, I "You now have the best household in j the world. No man gives bis children j the liberty I give mine. Remember j your manhood." Lebanon. From the Criterion. T. C. Feebler, A. G.
