THE REV. S. F. GREEN.

On Monday evening a public meeting of Church-
men favourable to the release of the Rev. S. F. Green
was held in the Athenwum-rooms at Derby, Sir
Percival Heywood (patron of the living of Miles
Platting) in the chair.

The chairman, in the course of his speech, said that
the result of the proceedings which had been taken
against the Rev. Mr. Green had been that that gentle-
man had been in prison forseven months. He and others
had done the best they could to procure Mr. Green's re-
lease, but every effort they had used had failed. The
Prime Minister and the Home Secretary had said that
they could do nothing. The Lord Chancellor, although
he admitted that things were very scandalous, had said
that he could not put a stop to them. The -Upper
House of Convocation had been appealed to by the
Lower House, but could do nothing, and the Bishop
of Manchester was equally helpless. This was a very
hopeless state of affairs, but he believed that the time
had come when Mr. Green's fellow-countrymen were
prepared to demand his release. It must be painful
to every right minded Englishman that Mr. Green
should be suffering this great indignity. He (the
chairman) came there to testify that Mr. Green
was an honest, earnest, loyal Churchman. They
were told that there was no one to whom they
could go but to the court and to the prosecu-
tion. It was said that if Mr. Green would only
go to Lord Penzance with the consent of the prose-
cution, he would get released. That, however, would
be rather against the feelings of his nature. The only
resource left to them was to go to the Throne and ask
that the Queen herself should grant Mr. Green his
release. It was such a course as that which he thought
that the present meeting was prepared to pursue.
Many petitions were being sent to Balmoral, and the
Queen could no longer be kept in ignorance of them.
She now knew, he believed, that these petitions were
being sent in, and there was a report that she had so
far taken notice of them as to direct a Commission to
consider the matter forthwith.

Resolutions in favour of the immediate release of
Mr. Green were adopted, very slight opposition being
manifested.

THE CAPTURE OF HERAT.

The following telegram was received at the India Office
from the Viceroy dated October 25 :

"Further reports regarding the capture of Herat
state that a third and decisive action took place on
October 2 at Shaflin, seven farsakhs from Herat.
According to Abdul Kudus, battle was hotly con-
tested. He had artillery and regulars with him, and
had been joined by Ghilzais of Opeh and others. The
day after the battle he marched to Doban, ten miles
from city, which he entered without opposition on the
4th. Other accounts state that victory was .clue to
Char Aimaks, Uabulis holding aloof during action.
Ayoob had not reached Herat, and account of his
having one from Amardareb to Persia is probably
correct."

THE MARKETS.

MARK-LANE —Mosner.
At Mark-lane business is very quiet, and the tendency is
rather weak. Fair average supplies of English grain have
been received. Only moderate receipts of foreign are
annoenced. English wheat was in quiet request, and was
frequently is. per quarter lower. For foreign wheat the
demand was only moderate, and quotations may be written
is. per quarter easier. The flour market was dull and weak.
In barley very little was done. Fine malting produce was
tolerably firm, but secondary samples were drooping. The
demand for oats was quieter, and quotations were not so
strong. Maize was in limited demand, and was about 6d.
per qr. lower. Beans and peas were inactive, and drooping
in value.

METROPOLITAN CAPTLE MARKET.—MoNDAY.
The cattle tiade has been very quiet. Supplies were fully
equal to the demand, which was inactive, owing to the mild
weather and the heaviness in the dead meat market. A
full average supply of English stock was on offer. Sales
progressed slowly at barely late rates. The best Downs and
half-breds sold at ss. Bd. to 58. led. per 81b. From the
midland and home counties we received about 2,000,
from Scotland 70, and from Ireland 1,300 head. On
the foreign side of the market supplies were short,
about 150 American being offered. The demand was
heavy at about late rates. The sheep pc is were
moderately-well filled. There was a dull sale, and prices
were quoted at about the same rate as last week. The best
downs and half-breds made from Os. 10d. to 7s. per 81bil.
Calves and pigs were disposed of et previous currencies. At
Deptford were about 1,809 beasts and 0,000 sheep. The fol-

EXODUS OF MORMONS FROM LIVER-

POOL.

The Guion steamer Wisconsin sailed from the
Mersey on Saturday for New York, having on board
about four hundred Mormons amongst her passengers.
This is the fifth company of Mormons who have
left Liverpool during the present year, and is
also the last batoh this season. Amongst the
four hundred are about 60 from Scotland.
Unlike the other companies, there were but 38 Scan-
dinavians in the party leaving on Saturday. The
remainder came from Wales and different parts of
England; the towns in the latter country being
London, from which the largest number came, conflat-
ing of about 60, Manchester, Bristol, Norwich, Leafs,
Sheffield, Newcastle, and Liverpool. The Morni6ns
are on their way to. Utah, Salt Lake City. During
the present year in the five companies no fewer than
about 2,400 Mormons have sailed from the Mersey for
the United States. There were no Irish Mormons
amongst the party which left on Saturday,

HARVEST RESULTS IN AMERICA.

The statistics of the wheat, corn, and cotton crops,
published by the Agricultural Department of the
United States, change slightly the previous estimates.
They make the wheat crop nearly 400,000,000 bushels,
or 80,000,000 below last year. This with the old
wheat, males the quantity on hand .A1;000,000 bushels,
about J 54,000,000 in excess of the probable onsump-
tion. The same statistics make the cotton 5,998,000
bales. The trade look on this estimate as too low.
Corn is placed at 1,157,805,000 bushels, over 5,000,000
decrease from last year.

The LOSS of an AUSTRIAN BARQUE.

Particulars received with respect to the loss of the
Austrian barque Idonico at Rocky Bay, near Oyster
Haven, show that eight members of the crew, with
the captain's wife, perished, and that only two were
saved, the captain and the boatswain. The Idonico
was from Liverpool, bound for Baltimore, with a
cargo of salt. On Wednesday in last week, when
coming down Channel, it came on to blow a strong
gale, which continued to increase. The sea broke
over the vessel, and she continued to ship heavy seas
until the three boats were stove in and the hatches were
burst. The pumps became choked and would not
work. The rudder also got out of order. In this dis-
abled condition the captain endeavoured to make for
Queenstown, but failed, owing to the violence of the
gale, and the vessel went ashore at Rocky Bay. On
Thursday the seas made a clean breach over the vessel
and swept off the crew. The captain, placing a life.
belt on his body, made a noble effort to save his young
wife, who was on board. After a long struggle a
heavy sea separated the two. She was drowned, and
her husband was washed towards a cave in the rocks,
where he was rescued by a Coastguard officer and a
resident. The vessel became a total wreck, and during
Friday six bodies were washed ashore, including that
of the captain's wife.

A New York telegram says that the crevasses
caused by the overflow of the Mississippi are increasing.
Three thousand AVO hundred acres of ground are inundated
near Quincy in Illinois.
Sixteen Germans have arrived at Constantinople by
special steamer from Salonica They are from Cologne,
and are sent out by a company to farm in Turkey, and
establish commercial centres in that kingdom.

MR. MUNTZ, M.P., ON FREE AND
FAIR TRADE.

Mr. P. H. Muntz, M.P., in reply to a letter from
one of his constituents, who was anxious to correct a
statement made publicly that Mr. Muntz was a "Fair
Trader," writes :—" I have always advocated real free
trade, and wish we_had it; but, although opposed to
any duty on articles of necessity and raw materials, I
have yet to learn why on articles of luxury imported
from foreign countries a moderate duty should not be
imposed. We might thus increase our revenue and
facilitate the reduction of duties on those necessaries
of life—tea, &c.—which now press on the poorer
classes, varying from 60 per cent. to 100 per cent."

DEATH OF BARON JAMES DE ROTHS.

CHILD.
The Times of Wednesday, under its Obituary Notices,
gives the following :
- -

Our Paris Correspondent telepaphs that Baron
James Edward de Rothschild died early yesterday
morning of apoplexy. Baron James de Rothschild,
the younger, less well known than the Baron James
de Rothschild (his grandfather on the mother's side),
whose death about ten years ago lemoved one of the
principal luminaries of the Parisian social and
financial worlds, was born on October 29, 1844, and
was thus 37 years of age. He was the eldest son of
the late Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild, of London,
who was himself the son of Nathan Meyer de
Rothschild, the founder of the English house of Roths-
child. Baron Nathaniel was thus a brother of the
late Baron Lionel de Rothschild, of Sir Anthony, the
genial host of Aston Clinton, and of Baron Meyer,
the owner of Favonius. He married Charlotte,
daughter of Baron James the elder, of Paris, by
whom he had two sons, James Edward, the elder,
whose death we now record, and Baron Albert de
Rothschild. _

The deceased baron received a legal education and
taking up the enthusiasm for collecting works Of art
which has always characterised his family, gave to it
a specially Parisian turn by becoming, above all things,
a bibliophile. He presided over the society for publish-
ing the works of old French authors and editing ancient
manuscripts. He was also president of a Jewish lite-
rary society, and his loss will be keenly felt by those
concerned in all literary and philanthropic enter-
prises. He was a member of the Parisian house of
Rothschild, but often came to this country, Where
Baron and Baroness Janice de Rothschild were among
the most conspicuous figures in the tsele
. bration of the
marriage of Mr. Leopold de Rotlischild January of
this year in the Central Synagogue.
Baron -Tames de Rothschild married a daughter of
Baron Charles de Rothschild of Frankfort, who sur-
vives him. The present head of the English house*,
Sir Nathaniel de Rothschild, AL P., married another
daughter, and was unable in consequenoe of the death
of his kinsman, which compelled his departure for
Paris, to take his usual place in the chair of the Jews
Free School committee meeting, which was held on
Tuesday afternoon at New Court.
Baron James de Rothschild was a director of the
Northern of France Railway Company.

During last week only two steamers reached the
Mersey conveying Live stock from the United States and
Canada. The collective assignments amounted to but seven
cattle and 937 sheep, that being the smallest on record. The
arrival of fresh meat was also a decrease, amounting to
'4,066 quarters of beef, and 315 carcases of mutton,

THE CHANNEL TUNNEL.

The work of removing the machinery from the
Abbot's Cliff heading to the shaft of Shakespeare's
Cliff, in connection with the Channel Tunnel experi-
ments, is now complete, having occupied upwards of
two month, and boring operations will probably be
commenced shortly. The scheme is now in the hands
of the South Eastern Railway Company, who, it is
said, have entered into a contract for the drilling to be
extended another mile. For the present the boring will be
continued in the direction of Dover. Several workshops
and sheds have been erected at the mouth of the
shaft, and a powerful engine has been fitted up for
compressing the air with which to work the machi-
nery and for ventilating purposes. The arrangements
are now much more complete than formerly, and are
calculated greatly to expedite the work. The cuttings
from the face of the chalk are carried to the rear of
the engine by "cups," and afterwards conveyed in an
iron skiff" from the engine to the mouth of the
shaft by means of pulleys attached to a chain, which
is worked by machinery.

PRECAUTIONS At KitRAINHAM PRISON.

Great precautions are being taken prevent any-
thing like an escape at Kilmainhain gaol. The whole

interior of the gaol, Outside Mr. Parnell's mom

day.

he Prisons Board have held an inquiry as to how
the signatures to the manifesto were obtained, Messrs,
Parnell, Kettle, Dillon, and Brenman were separately
interrogated as to whether they had signed the docu-
ment, end each of them refused to answer. ror this
they were by order of the Chief Secretary, sentenced
to seven days' deprivation of all visits and communica-
elms.

to see or hold communication with his legal adviser.

It is generally understood that the Chief Secretary

'principal rulers of the Land League in Kilmainham

it is probable, will go to Belfast or Lifford, Mr.

of Mr. Sexton and Mr. O'Brien puts their removal

'Several Land League meetings, which were an-

In 4order to cqnbinue the Land League agitation, it been suggoillred that the imprisoned leaders shall

DISTRESS AND DISTRESS.

Under the above heading, the St. James's Gazette publishes
the following, from "W. L. 0.":
Sir,—The existence of severe agricultural distress is
admitted by all parties. The remedies suggested are
various; but Radicals appear to pin their faith prin-
cipally on these :-
1. Abolition of law of entail. 2. Small ownerships.
3. Freedom of cultivation.

It is not necessary to disturb all relations between
landlord and tenant in order to test the value of these
remedies. Here where I write, in the at country,
formerly fen, now dry and fertile, they are already in
full operation. In this district inquiry will show
1. That an entailed property is scarcely known.
2. That numerous owners farm their own land
in acreages varying from five to three hundred acres.
3. And farm exactly as they think will pay best.
But I regret to add in no part of the country is the
distress more severe.

KIDDERMINSTER.

THE AIM; xarAL ELECTION.-It will be recollected
that an objection was made against the nominations
of the three Conservative candidates for the North
Wad ()la the ground that one of the assentors to
them had signed a fourth nomination paper. The
htter was ti at of Mr. Isaac Moore, and the nomina-
tion was withdrawn. On this ground Mr. W. A.
Crowther, the conservative agent. maintained that
the objection was nuliified. The Mayor, after con-
su:ti,g with the Tim n Clerk, decided to refer the
que.ttiou to counsel. This has ben done. and on
Wednesday morning he read the counsel's opinion
in the commute room f the Town Hall to the
candidates and their ;,gents. This was to the effect
that the fourth notnina ion havin.; been withdrawn
he objecti .n to the othe4nominatiols was nullified.
th. refore, declared the objection in-
valid, anti the election will take pace. There are
no kv five candidates for the NoLth Ward—three
Qonserva.tives and two Liberals. In the South
Ward t ere are seven candidates, one of them be:ng
Mr. Isaac .Moore. who has withdrawn from the
North Ward.

In time or in another day;
And if denied the victor's meed,
You shall not lack the toiler's pay."

(Cheers.) The time will come when unhappy passions
which have been excited will be forgotten, and when
the slowly ripened harvest of justice and conciliation
may be gathered in. (Cheers.) It is now a little more
than 100 years since the people of Scotland were as hotly
opposed to the English rule as the Irish people are at
the present time. (Cheers.) Now we are one nation.
(Cheers.) We have no diversity of interest, and are
animated by a common loyalty. (Cheers.) What time
and good government have done for Scotland time
and good government will surely do for Ireland, too,
(Cheers). And in this belief we may rest assured and
we will remain in the fixed determination to continue
the connexion between the two countries, not for any
selfish British interest, not to gratify Imperial pride,
but to secure the peace and happiness and the tran-
quility of a united people. (Loud cheers, during which
the right hon. gentleman resumed his seat.)

A NAUTICAL BAZAAR.

Lady Brassey opened a sailors' bazaar and fancy
fair in London on Tuesday, in connection with the
British and Foreign Sailors Society, in the Lecture
Hall, Wren-road, Camberwell-green. The stalls were
named after different vessels, and the ladies presiding
were attired in nautical costumes. The centre of the
hall was taken up by a lifeboat manned by young
ladies, and laden with useful and ornamental articles
from all parts of the world. The band from the
Shaftabury training-ship enlivened the proceedings,
and the boys sang several hymns. The hall was
crowded by a large and fashionable assembly, and
the proceedings were of a novel and. interesting cha-
racter.

The Rev. E. W. Matthews, secretary, stated that a
lady travelling in Italy had given £,1,000 to each of
the two floating chapels at Naples and Genoa, and
the articles for sale inclu,led gifts from various parts
of the world where the society was represented by
missionaries, and in other ways.

Previous to declaring the bazaar open, Lady Brassey
received gifts to the society from the hands of Sunday
school scholars and others.

Bishop Claughton (one of the vice presidents) and
Sir Thomas Brassey also took part in the opening
ceremony.

INTERVIEW WITH MR. PARNELL.

The Dublin newspapers have published some re-
,alarks made by Mr. Parnell to a friend who visited
~.anin in Kilmainham Gaol. He expressed the opinion
that the farmers would adopt the "no rent" policy to
great extent, and that by a year's firmness in the
.aftption of that policy they would bring both the
dlords and the Government "to their knees"
„ale contended that in his speeches in Dublin
„lag had carefully avoided everything which could
be construed into an act of incitement to intimidation,
•and that those speeches were more moderate than
the had made since the commencement of the
d agitation. The principle, however, on which
ee Government was proceeding seemed to be that
412 Y advice or recommendation given by him or any
10,f. the other leaders of the movement to the tenant-
zarmers or labourers was intimidation. "In other
Wc)rdain he said, "the way in which they are now
1311tting the Coercion Act in force is the most absolute
abrogation ef the right of discussion and consultation
'which has ever obtained in any eountry. In taking
Vlia course the Government have practically rendered
inipossible for the farmers either to test or to safdly
tile the Land Act. I have always been one of those
'Who believed that it might be possible to use
,
~mke Act in such a way as to secure substantial
oenefits for the agricultural classes of Ireland,
and I opposed the more extreme Land League party
Who desired to reject it entirely at the recent Con-
vention. But I was firmly convinced that the Act
,could only be safely used in an organized and sys-
r,iatic fashion, and that if the farmers were left
Without omanization, assistance, and advice, the
tftillt would- be, as in the case of ttie Act of IS7O, dis-
4401P,ting."

Writing on Monday, the Dublin correspondent of
Time,s says :—" The Government commenced
Gi3trations early this morning by arresting Dr. Kenny,
tiig treasurer of the Land League, and private
kllysician to several of the prisoners in Kilmainham.
4:be arrest was made at his residence, 71, Lower
Ctardiner-street, on a warrant signed by the Chief
8 ieeretary charging him with being an accessory to
the •nti 2 midation in reference to the payment of rent.
where can be little doubt that he expected it. He did
liPt Bee Mr. Dorris when requested, though he had pre-
liously made an appointment to see the other suspects.
'n Saturday he omitted his customary visit to Kil-
tiftinham, and was not to be seen till yesterday, when
:4:r Forster's warrant would not operate. He spent
'gine time yesterday at Kilmainham. Sergeant
'plutons, with whom was a detective officer, called and
found him in. Dr. Kenny was not in the least aut.-
irised, and had abundance of time to make prepara-
'wile for his change of quarters. He drove to Ku-
on a car with the detectives. Dr. Kenny
Y Was
One of the visiting medical officers of the North
T.TDIOn Workhouse Hospital."

SERIOUS GALES AND LOSS OF LIFE.

On Saturday night and Sunday morning a severe
gale and heavy rainfall were experienced in London
and in different parts of the country. In the metro-
polis its effects were very serious, and in some cases
fatal. Within a short distance of Sadler's Wells
Theatre, at the extremity of the yard known. as the
New River Head, a tall brick building is situate,
which is occupied as the office of the company
and the dwelling of Mr. Cooper, the foreman of
the works. At about a quarter to five on Sunday
morning the wind blew down the tall chimney
stacks, which forced the roof into the floor beneath.
Two of IMr. Cooper's daughters happened to he sleep-
ing in the apartment referred to, both of whom were
buried beneath the heavy brickwork and rubbish that
had fallen on them. The watchman and engine
drivers engaged in the yard ably assisted in effecting
a clearance, as did the police. Nearly two hour,,
however, elapsed before the bodies were recovered,
and that of Miss Cooper, the eldest daughter, aged 21
years, was found to be just warm. Medical aid was
already in attendance, but the condition of the poor
girl was past human aid, and she expired shortly after-
wards. The sister of the decea,-ed was found to be
severely bruised and cut. Great sympathy is felt for
the family, the deceased being held in great respect.
Several other accidents have been recorded.
The weather of the past week, culminating in the
gale of Saturday, has also caused serious floods in
many parts of the country, thousands of acres having
been flooded.

The recent heavy rains have covered the marshes on
either side of the Great Eastern Railway, extending
from Stratford to Cambridge. At Stratford the small
streams have overflowed, and water to a depth of five,
and even six feet, may be seen. Houses and cottages
built upon the marsh land are inundated, and great
difficulty is experienced by the inhabitants wishing to
leave their abodes.

A fierce gale and thunderstorm broke over Chard
and neighbourhood early on Tuesday morning, and
lasted for some hours. Rain fell in torrents, and the
lightning was very vivid.

London was visited by another gale of wind from
the west and north-west on Tuesday night, and
accounts from the provinces state that rough
weather has been general. Heavy falls of rain have
been experienced since Saturday, the result being that
many places are partly inundated.

On Tuesday evening at 13r1stol a two story house in
a narrow street, occupied by four families, was de-
stroyed by the fall of a chimney stack. The occu-
pants, 15 in number, and consisting of men, women,
and children, were precipitated into the cellar, and
covered with rubbish. A gang of men, working for
several hours, removed some of the rubbish, when it
was found that two children, aged three and five years,
were dead. Thirteen other persons were removed to
the infirmary, and were found to be suffering from
broken limbs and bruises.

THE ROYAL PRINCES.

Arrangements have been made for the Detached
Squadron, with which Prince Albert Victor and
Prince George, the sons of the Prince of Wales, have
been cruising, to start on their return home to Eng-
land in the beginning of the new year. One portion
of the squadron, consisting of Her Majesty's ships
Inconstant, Tourmaline, and Carpsfort, will leave
Hong Kong on Jan. 13, and will proceed, rid the
Cape, to Plymouth, calling on the voyage at Singa-
pore, St. Helena, St. Vincent, Madeira, and Gibraltar,
arriving at Plymouth about June 30.

The Bacchante, with the young Princes on board,
and escorted by her Majesty's ship Cleopatra, will
leave Hong Kong on the 15th, and proceed to Colon,
where they are expected to arrive about the 27th, ard
will stay six days. Their Royal Highnesses will then
proceed to Aden, which they are timed to reach on
Feb. 21, and, after a stay of two day., will proc9ed to
fiuez, arriving there on March 7. They will stay one
day at Suez, and the Cleopatra will return to Singa-
pore, whilst the Bacchante, with the Royal Princes,
will continue her voyage to Port Said, which she will
reach on March 11, and Alexandria onthe 12th.

The vessel will remain at Alexandria fourteen days
to enable the Princes to pay a visit to the Pyramids
and other spots of interest in Egypt. Leaving
Alexandria on March 26, the Bacchante will sail to
either Jaffa or Beyrout, arriving about the 29th.
They will stay there twenty-five days and make a tour
through the Holy Land, including a visit to Jeru-
salem. They will leave Jaffa on April 23, and arrive
at Athens on the 29th, and, after remaining there
seven days and inspecting the various objects of
interest, the ship will bring the Royal Princes back
to England.

A letter from Tokio, dated Nov. 2, gives details
of the reception given to the Queen's grandsons. The
Bacchante and the rest of the Ii ying Squadron arrived
at Yokohama on Oct. 21, and, after two days spent
in official visits, Prince Albert Victor and George and
suite landed quietly, thus disappointing the inhabitants,
who had anticipated demonstrations. Travelling by
special train to Tokio, they were received by the British,
German, and Russian Ministers, and proceeded to the
residence which had been elaborately fitted for their
reception. Here they remained for a week, having
one day an audience with the Emperor, who expressed
the great pleasure it gave him to offer them welcome,
and his hope that they would retain pleasant recollec-
tions of Japan. Next day they drove out with the
Mikado to witness a review of 7,000 troops, afterwards
banqueting with his Majesty. Another day was spent
at the Military College, where a banquet and ball were
given. The squadron left on Nov. 1 for Hong Kong,
where great preparations for their reception were
being made.

LODGERS AND THE FRANCHISE.

The Court of Appeal at Westminster, composed of
the Master of the Rolls Lord Justice Baggallay,
Lord Justice Brett, Lord Justice Cotton, and Lord
Justice Lindley, gave judgment on Wednesday morn-
ing in the three appeals of "Bradley r. Baylis"
(Borough of Chelsga), " Morfee v. Novis " (Borough
of Hastings), and "Kirby v. Biffen " (City of West-
minster), which was argued before their lordships
on the 16th inst. In each of these cases Mr.
Justice Denman and Mr. Justice Bowen had
allowed the claim of the claimant as an "occupier of a
dwelling-house," in which he held unfurnished rooms
at a rental below the qualification of £lO per annum
which would entitle him to be placed on the " lod-
gers " list of voteis," but which would conferon him the
franchise if he were to be regarded as an `!house-
holder." Each of the claimants had the key of the
outer door, but in the two first cases the landlord
resided on the premises, but rendered no service by
himself or his servants to his tenants while in the
third case the landlord was non-resident.

The court was unanimously of opinion, and laid it
down as the law for the guidance of all revising bar-
risters in the future, that where a landlord resided on
the premises and exercised a general control over
them all the other inmates must be regarded as
" lodgers ; " whereas, when the landlord was non-
resident and exercised no control over them except
the right of entry into the various rooms for the pur-
poses of repairs the tenants must be held to be entitled
to have their names placed on the householder's list,
and as such to have the franchise.

The first two appeals from the decision of the court
below in favour of the claimants were therefore
allowed, and the third was dismissed.

IN MEMORY OF GENERAL GARFIELD.

A Silver Star has been fixed in the floor of the
station of the Baltimore and Potomac Railway to
mark the spot where aeneral Garfield fell when shot.
A simple tablet is placed on the wall over the spot,
surmounted by an eagle carrying in its claws arrows
and laurels. The tablet bears the inscription:—
"James Abram Garfield, President of the United
States, shot July the 2nd, 1881." . .
