I, p. 147. Imprinted at London by Abraham Wele, dwelling in Paul's Churcheyarde at the Sygne of the Lambe, Anno, 1551."

The bill having passed, the question came up as to its title, which it was proposed to leave as reported by the committee: "A bill to enlarge the powers of the Freedmen's Bureau." Mr.

"Is it so very severe here when there's a blizzard on?" Johnson was saying, when there came to his ears a strange sound the sound of the wind rising in the canyon below. The Girl looked at him in blank astonishment a look that might easily have been interpreted as saying, "Where do you hail from?" She answered: "Is it . . .? Oh, Lordy, they come in a minute!

Johnson has had the worst of it, poor chap, but there are one or two of them took it into their heads to come up to London and worry me at the office." "I intend that there shall be no more dissatisfaction amongst my tenants." Mr. Mangan set off for another prowl towards the sideboard. "Satisfied tenants you never will get in Norfolk," he declared.

Hardly had he disappeared into the dance-hall when a low whistle came to their ears.

Governor Johnson was then a very radical man, and was very emphatic in informing us that while he was Military Governor of Tennessee no rebel would receive much consideration from him, and brought his fist down on a piano in the room with such force that the sound from it startled us all, and we left there with the idea that rebels in Tennessee had better get out; but we soon found that his words were much stronger than his acts, for I hardly ever got my hands on rebel stock or supplies that I did not find Johnson trying to pull them off.
