Garfield and His Family.

Molly" is the only girl among General
Garfeld's five living children, and is, of
course, the queen of the household She is
brown haired sweet and graceful, with pc
culiarly pleasant smile stealing along the
lineaments of her face and lingering about
her mouth when she talks She resembles
her mother in many Of those desirable traits
of character which will make that lady the
most popular and respected lady who was
ever in the White House, not excepting Mrs.
Hayes. If the general is elected, Molly will
be fourteen when he takes his seat, and will
before he retires, be eighteen, as can be
easily reckoned.
President Hinsdale of Hiram College says :
"Garfeld's Oldest child died in this house,
1t was daughter, and would now have been
perhaps twenty-one years old. He had just
come back from Chickamauga, and Stanton
had made him major-general. He was on
the way to Washington, and had no change
of clothing. You know well enough that
he was not the man to take any vanity in
uniform. But when his child was dead,
and he stayed over for the funeral, he had
to wear that suit with the major-general's
buttons on it. There was no photograph of
the child, to whom they were both tenderly
attached, and there being in the town trav-
cling photographers wagon, Garfield took
the little creature in his lap to hold it while
they made picture, and he told me that
when he looked down on the cold face of his
child his eyes fell on the buttons of the
major-general, and he thought how little
there was in the honors of the world"
Concerning some Of the good people who
claim to have started General Garfield in life,
the Cleveland Hraldsays " This all reminds
one Of the man who hired young Garfield to
work for him in haying when the latter was
sixteen years old, and after admitting that
he did more work than any man he had, at
tempted to allow him boys wages and cheat
him out of that. When Garfield was nomi-
mated for congress this man was loud in his
assertions that he made Garfield; : that he
gave him employment when he needed it to
support his widowed mother. Or, again, it
is something like the woman who greatly Of
Tended the sensibilities of the young general
when he was poor boy, working for her for
his board and attending school, by insisting
on calling him one of the servants When
Garfield was elected to the state senate she
was very free in her observations about how
she always knew he had elements of great
ness in him : and attended a reception given
by him in Hiram, had the unaccountable
cheek to refer to the matter and claim in the
generals presence that she was the means of
making him."

Right Tendency.

The Springfield Republican says: "a good
many of the cities are manifesting disap-
pointment at the size of their population as
shown by General Walkers count of noses,
but as we are sure of a goodly increase in
the aggregate of the whole country this is a
matter rather for congratulation. The days
of poverty since the panic of 1873 have cor
rected somewhat the tendency to flock into
the cities. Many who thought that they
were divinely foreordained to WELD the pen
or the yardstick have found that after all the
hoe is the thing for them. No other class of
people weathered the period of depression so
well as the farmers, and no class has enjoyed
more solid prosperity since. The large
towns of the east have in many cases been re-
lieved of surplus population by migration to
the west in the form of colonies A work
ingmen's colonization movement OF some
promise is now organizing in New York city
with Texas for its objective point. An I'M
usually large proportion of our recruits from
Europe since the revival of immigration
have gone directly to the sparsely settled
country of the west, and the same is true in
larger measure of the arrivals from Canada.
And the more the town is avoided and the
country is sought the better il will be for
both. 1t is quite too early in our history for
us to be suffering, as so many parts of the
eastern hemisphere are, from overcrowding.'

The Yuma, California, Sentinel tells of a
novel insurance plan, as follows Mr.. David
Bali, who counts his cattle by the thousands,
has adopted a novel method to provide for
the future of his two children. He has Sc
lected thirty heads Of two-years old heifers
from his different bands, all of pure blood
and well bred, and given them to his chill
dren, and has charged himself with the
maintenance of the same and their increase
until the children are of age. We have
made a careful estimate of the probable
number of cattle his children will have on
their becoming of age, and find it enormous.
Reckoning an increase of thirty-three and
one-half per cent and the time sixteen years,
it amounts to twenty thousand and fifty-nine
head, worth, we will say, $40 per head, and
will aggregate the snug little sum OF s02,9l0.

MOTHER STEWART, the apostle of the

now working among the women of the

possible to transplant the Ohio style of
doing business, she has formed woman's

Mrs. Governor Colquitt as its president, and
has bonded the Christian women in several
other towns of Georgia to use their social
influence in behalf Of temperance principles.

upon the minds of the human family. lie spoke
of the antiquity of the Christian Bible, OF it,
much greater antiquity than any of the list which
he then proceeded to mention. Each of these
with all of their peculiarties, he proposed to
meet on an even basis and to take no undue ad-
vantage His statements, he contented were not
built upon theory but facts,-facts undisputed by
the best scholars of the past and present lie set
forth in n vivid manner the grounds taken for es-
tablishing these various would-be sacred books,
speakinp of the good a. well as the evil results
springing from them. Reading extracts, and Civ
ing citations from eminent scholars. to confirm
his statements he commended that the Christian
Bible right of priority over all others and that
this has and can be proved Narrow bounds are
placed around all other religions and what have
been their results The low place which they are
compelled to take. That whatever can be found
in any of the others that could be called pure,
