I should call the generation that was active in the early eighties 'a cowardly age of pitiless brutality. Times had begun to mend in Ireland from 1850, and had continued to do so until the ballot made the country a prey to self-seeking political agitators. Mr.
It was less the objectionableness of trade as du Maurier in such a drawing as this tried to imply than the advance of it that the old aristocracy really resented. A drawing characteristic of the artist's work in the eighties in 1880 to be definite is that entitled "Mutual Admirationists." It really dates itself. It is descriptive of one of the moods of "passionate Brompton."
Before the establishment of the first of these plantations near Macoris in the early eighties, the apparatus for making sugar was as crude as that employed by the first colonists, consisting of small presses turned by oxen, and large caldrons to boil the cane.
The beautiful house in Hartford was a place of welcome and merriment, of many guests and of happy children. Especially of happy children: during these years the latter half of the 'eighties when Mark Twain's fortunes were on the decline, his children were at the age to have a good time, and certainly they had it.
Outside the towns there were only three occupations in Grant County in those years, cattle ranching, mining and fighting Apaches, all of a sort to attract and hold none but the sturdiest types of real manhood, men inured to danger and reckless of it.

Japan seems to be much in the same mood as that which it experienced in the early eighties before, toward the close of that decade, it crystallized its institutions through acceptance of the German constitution, militarism, educational system, and diplomatic methods.
The rising architect of the community came to him with the assumption that he would wish to build her a more suitable house than that of his father, which, large and comfortable, had been constructed in the very worst taste of the early "eighties." No, Riatt found himself saying with determination, his father's house would be good enough for his wife.
From one of the preceding items it will be noted that even in the eighties Edison perceived much advantage to be gained in the line of economy by the use of lamp filaments employing refractory metals in their construction. From another caveat, filed in 1889, we extract the following, which shows that he realized the value of tungsten also for this purpose.
When he thought he had his "world" by heart and could reconstruct with the aid of some obliging friends who consented to pose, he gave us pleasant pictures of his friends posing, but the great record he had put together in the sixties, seventies, the early eighties of the London of his time was at an end.
