The rest of the letter was made of messages and the mild, small daily occurrences that are of moment to such as Miss Augusta Penfield. That night, searching in an old secretary in his room for some missing notes, Mark came upon a little daguerreotype in a drawer. It was of a young girl, taken apparently in the late sixties or early seventies.
The party thus addressed by the familiar diminutive of "Al" paused a moment before reply, an odd smile flitting about his bearded lips. A stronger, firmer type of scout and frontiersman than Al Sieber never sat in saddle in all Arizona in the seventies, and he was a noted character among the officers, soldiers, pioneers, and Apaches. The former respected and trusted him.
There had been six generations of them, and those of the first two fought under General Washington against the red-coats and the Hessians in the War of '76. David Windom, of the fourth generation, went to England for a wife, however, a girl he had met on the locally celebrated trip to Europe in the early seventies.
With this trim white chin beard, the white waistcoat, the white tie, the suit of fine gray cloth, the broad and brilliantly polished black shoes, and the wide-brimmed gray felt hat, here was a man who had found his style in the seventies of the last century, and thenceforth kept it.
But his poetic blossoming was really over with the 'sixties, and in the hubbub that arose round his critical and religious work his attempts to drive "ideas" into the English mind, in the 'sixties and 'seventies the main fact that he, with Browning and Tennyson, stood for English poetry, in the mid-nineteenth century, was often obscured and only slowly recognized.
And a large part of the population must buy their food of the street pedlars, who sell every conceivable cooked thing; then there are lots of cooked food stores besides the street men. PEKING, July 2. The rainy season has set in, and now we have floods and also coolness, the temperature having fallen from the late nineties to the early seventies, and life seems more worth living again.
We did not think so in England in the fifties, the sixties, and the seventies, in the heyday of Victorian romance; and I do not think we ought to pass that judgment now in this last quinquennium of our century.
As Grant Showerman's "A Country Chronicle" is an admirable rendering of the farm life of Wisconsin in the seventies, so these poems are a fine imaginative record of the pioneer life of Nebraska a little later. I believe this volume to contain quite as fine poetry as Robert Frost's "North of Boston."
It was a delicate subject, and few onlookers cared to open their minds on its merits. Albania was represented by an old friend of mine, the venerable Turkhan Pasha, who had been in diplomacy ever since the Congress of Berlin in the 'seventies of last century, and who looked like a modernized Nestor. I made his acquaintance many years ago, when he was Ambassador of Turkey in St. Petersburg.
"Well," answered Barclay, "one day back in the seventies, I was appointed to check up the treasurer's book, and I found where he had fixed it on the county books apparently between two administrations. I recognized his hand; and it made the balance for the first time." Bemis smoked awhile. "What time in the seventies?" he asked. There was a pause. "In January, 1879."
