There is nothing like presence of mind, at
ter all. Yesterday during the storm, gen.
tleman entered store on Water street, bear
ing silk umbrella. which he placed in the
stand. Instantly another gentleman, who
was mourning the abstraction of just such
an article, jumped up. "Will you allow me
to to look at that?" he said sternly. "Cer-
tainly" remarked the umbrella carrier. IL
was just taking it to the police station. 1t
was left in my house last night by bur
elar whom we frightened off. I hope it will
prove a first rate clew." And though the
exasperated owner could plainly see where
his name had been scratched off the handle,
he sat down and changed the subject.
The funeral of the late wife of Hon. j. ".

large number of choice floral decorations

Executive of the Nation has like the present
Executive. four sons-Iiarry aged l6 James,

Molle, aged L. The two eldest boys are at
Concord, N. H., preparing for college. Last

Mrs. Garfield il described as a very intelli
gent looking woman Of about 45, with
somewhat rural manner, having been born
and bred in the country, and having never
taken on urban ways She is very thin, but
bears traces of youthful comelincss. She
had a good country academy education. with
hardly any accomplishments, and is an ex-
cellent, economical houseEeeper. She enter
tanned very little during her husbands Con-
gressional career. and is reputed to have no
fondness for miscellaneous society. Her
sense of personal dignity is marked, and her
reserve of manner approaches asperity. She
is fond of reading, and feels n deep interest
in the studies of her children. After going
to school ut the village of Hiram. where she
became engaged to Garfield, she went to
Cleveland as a teacher in the public schools,

College. and took his degree there. She I'M

they say, to be truly national and sagacious
President, and he will lend all his energies
and talents to that end. They add that he

President-eleet is described rs somewhat
stouter than he has been, but as in most ro-

THE ANTI-THIRD TERRIERS.

st. Louis failed to secure the Demo.
cratic convention, but it is going TO
have national convention after all.
The an,i-.hird.termers will meet there
on the sixth of May, and the purpose
Is to brighten the Chicago convention
out Of It's wits by declaring that the
sense of the Republican party is OPP
posed to Grant. Ii the sense of the
Republican party be reflected alone
through those who have received office
from Mr.. Sherman, then 1t is certainly
against Mr.. Grant, but the masses of
the party are for Grant and Blaine, and,
properly represented, these two men
will constitute the Chicago ticket. The
state convention, which met the other
day in this city, was clearly a Grant
body. Grant was undoubtedly the
choice OF three.fourths of It's members,
aud delegates to Chicago would clearly
have been instructed to support him,
first, last and all the time, had not Mr..
Davis come to his own defense, when
hardly moment was left him, in re-
t.ieying his declining power. MI, Blaine
would have been the second choice of
the convention, and it was noticeable
that his friends were not the enc
mics of Grant. Probably a dozen
members of. the body, led by
Revenue Collector Pease, representing
Shermsn, were positively opposed,
through interest sake, to Gen. Grant,
but there were certainly, no more than
this many. l. may therefore be seen
why this Sc. Louis meeting is called as
4 mass convention. Besides declaring
sgainst Grant on the third term princi.
pie, the call for this convention an
nounces that "all Republicans through.
out the United Statesin sympathy with
the movement are cordially invited to
attend" It. Is one of these doubtful
things, which may represent re-
spectacle number OF people in some
Of the states, but a Texas rep
ressntasiye would represent nobody
but himself. An Invitation is given
to Republican clubs to send delegates,
and now we want to see what Repub-
licans in Texas are going TO form re-
spectacle organizations for this pur-
pose. Blu, the st. Louis papers think
il is going to be big thing on Tee. but
there is no more chance OF it cooling
the Chicago convention down to the
point where twill freeze on 10 Sher-
mAu than there is for JEFF D4vis to be
the Chicago nominee. It is written IN
the book OF fate that Ulysses S. Grant
Is to be tbs nominee Of the Republican
party, that the Demccratc noni-
nee may FAX the ''strong man, put
in training for the monarchy.

MANY of the papers pronounce most
favorably for Hon. John D. Temple
ton in his candidscy'for the position OF
Attorney General. It is represented
by those who know most OF ham that
be hss been lsborious student OF the
Law, and that his mind has a positive
legal turn, eminently qualifying him
for the position TO which he aspire.
he has attained distinction al the bar,
and has already been urged as fit
person to occupy. scat upon
the bench of his Judicial ais-
tiict. He has made 40 excsl'ent

Mr.. Templeton, year ago, was not
good, but it is now excellent, AMI he
gives promise of long life of useful

TEXAS POLITICS.

The Democrats of Oyiila, in conven-
ton, declared in favor of o. N. Rob-
e,ts, for Governor, and they "heartly
commend the general tenor of his adj
ministration, and particularly his hon
esty, official integrity and pay as you
go' policy" These Democrats also re-
commended to the national convention
the name of Hon. Thos. F. Bayard as
the most eligible candidate for Presi-
dent, believing that Che can command
larger vote than any man, Republi-
can or Democrat, ia the United States,
and If elected would make e most ex-
cellent Presld ent."
The Gonzales Enquirer thinks moth
ing should be done just now to impair
good works already begun by the Dem
ocratic party, and that it is unwise to
change in the least machinery that has
been used in success. Il concludes;
This is time Of great importance to

AND now Jessie Raymond declares
che will have money or the blood of
Senator Hill, who has made an affids-
vi! before the authorities of the dis
trict of Columbia that he knows MOTH
ing of her; that he is not the father of
her child; that she visits his house in
his absence, and that she aGnoys him
very much; that he never saw her but
once in Atlanta; that she Is woman
of abandoned character, and that he is
informed that she threatens his life.
Sam W. Small helps Senator Hill swear
on all these points, and the authorities
are left to do as they think best under
the circumstances. In reference to
Senator HILLS troubles, the Knoxville
Chronicles Washington correspondent
says it is idle for him to ignUre the
charges made by Mrs. Bolivia Lock-
wood; that If che has libeled the Sem
ator she is amply responsible for hav-
Jag done so. This correspondent goes
on and takes it for granted that Mr..
Hill is guilty, and lauds Mrs. Lock-
wood, but unfortunately for the cor
respondents reputation for truthful
ness. it is stated that N'Mrs. Lock.
wood is a fine. looking woman"
By parity of reasoning, after this
has been said, it may be assumed
that the first principles of truth are
lacking in tins correspondent. Never
theless, Ben Hill is just now enjoying
a reputation thst no man would readily
assume for him, and the latest story is
that he has agreed to send Jessie Rsy-
mond and "Ben Hill Raymond" as he
is known IN Washington society, back
TO Georgia.

1t says:
Senator David Davis showed good
sense in declaring against the present
tariff system, and especially in adyocat-
ing a removal of the restrictions on the
press. "Whst food is to the body, the
press is to the mind" was feiicitou5
and comprehensive statement of the
case. Mr.. Brooks stated st Washing

rience in Journalism in New York City
he had seen the birth and death of 1875
daily papers in that city, and that to
day but three papers are there in exist
ence which were published in 1887.
This shows that journalism at best is
quite precarious business, and ought
not to be inordinately taxed for the
benefit of few monOpohsts, az is now
the fact.n
