PERSONAL.

JOHN SHEPHERD, a farmer near Peoria,
ILL.,, has faithfully kcpta vow made in 1850
not to cut his hair or shave until the cleo.
tion of Democratic president. His whis.
kers reach almost to his waist and Ills l,aif
is kept in braids.
At tic Middletwon meeting, on Tues
day, Senator BAYARD incidentally allud-
ed to the great presidential contest bc-
tween Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr,
which was settled by the act of his grand
father, James A. Bayard, who voted for
Thomas Jefferson
Bishop D. S. DAGGETT, Of the Metho-
dist church, died at Richmond last night
at hal:-pat 10 o'clock. Although he had
been at the point of death several times
during tho past few months, his condition
of late had been more favorable and his
sudden demise was a great surprise,
The Philadelphia Times pronOunces Mr..
| DAVID MCMULLEN, Democratic candidate
for district attorney in this county, "a
gentleman of the highest character, of
crcditablc abilities and one who as district
attorney, would know no party interests,
and his election is now demanded by every
consideration Of justice to the honest
Republicans of the Old Guard.''
New York Herald: "Secrctary Shcr-
man made an invidious comparison the
other evening when he tauntcd Hancock
| with having been educated at West Point
at the public expense while Garfield had
to earn his living rs u mule-whacker on
the towpat',. Hancock is not tho only
gentleman alive who was educated at
West Point at the public expense A
very celebrated parsonage, now hurryjng
through the Apache land, was also cdu-
Gated at West Point. His name is SHER-
MAN."
SARA BERNHARDT, the famous French
actress reached New York yesterday, and
the papers gush frightfully over her. A
hundred artists went down to the ship to
meet her and rs they stepped upon the
deck, the band struck mp "Thc Rells 60 a
Ringing for Sarah.'' The Times gusher
tells us that the Bernhardt, did not wholly
come up to her reputed point of attention.
"This is Individually attributable to the
costume she wore, which was the very
quintessence Of chic. But her personality
fully comes up to its reputation of strange
ness. She is ofmedium stature, inclined
perhaps to slortness. Her forehead, which
is naturally quite low, becomes totally in
visible under the fluffy and disorderiy coir-
furc. The hair itself is neither reddish
nor bright golden, as described by some
persons, but a warm blonde, and of so
healthful hue that dye is not even sus
gcsted. Her features are extremely fine
and are not even remotely Indicative of her
Semitic origin. Her cheek bones are rather
high and her eyes. which are stee! blue,

MIR. T.. II. kauch, the Pennsylvania Hand.
writing Expert, PrOnOunces the
Brutal Letter the Let
ter of Garfield
Himself.
New York World.
A letter was published in the World the
other day from Mr.. f. II. Raucb, OF
Mauch Chunk, Pa, upon Gartield's Chi
ncsc letter. MIR. Rauch has had an exper.
icncc of many years rs u handwriting ex-
pert in the courts Of Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Maryland and the District of Col
umbia. He has been engaged in a number
of very important cases such as the
"Whitaker will case" in Philadelphia,
the SOLVER Cameron case" in Washing
ton, the congressional inquiry in regard to
the anonymous letter known as the "Fin-
ley-Spinger letter. and many cases of
more or less Importance throughout East
ern and Central Pennsylvania. He was
led to the study Of chirOgraphy many years
ago, and has since made that study a spec
ialty by reason of his ability, which SEEM
cd intuitive, to simulate any handwriting
to remarkable degree of perfection. The
study Of different handwritinss came later
naturally enough from this proclivity. Mr..
Rauch has now supplemented his former
letter with the following, which was writ
ten after careful examination of the
photograph of tho Chinese letter:
To the Editor OF the World.
SIR: I have carefully examined the pho
tograph Of the original Chinese letter
signed James A. Garfield. 1 have COM
pared it with the hoto-lithosraph Of his
letter Of denial, and also with another let
ter said to be his without question. The dis
similarities between these three arc quite
natural, such as occur in almost any mans
handwriting, and arc caused by writing
under different circumstances, such as diff
ference of pen, ink, paper, physical con-
ditiOn, or whether written leisurely or
quickly. The three documents referred to
would take to be the handwriting of one
person under any circumstances. The un-
conscious characteristics arc the same
throughout in all the papers, including the
signatures.
have been specially careful in examin-
ing the photograph as taken from the orig
inal Chinese letter in question to discover
any evidence of pause, constraint Or unnat-
ural writing, and l read it over for this
purpose with strong magnifying glass,
and pronounce the letter from beginning
to end perfectly regular, free, natural and
consistent with itself. We're it a simula-
tion or unnatural writing am satisfied the
evidence could be found somewhere
on its face. I know of no man
living who could manufacture
letter of the same length, in simu-
lation of the hand of another, to the degree
of regularity, uniformity and perfection
shown in this one. l am not prepared to
pronounce anything impossible, but,
speaking for myself, l am sure could not
execute a perfect stimulation of such let
ter in tho handwriting of James A. Gar
field, unless I had the exact copy, the
same subject matter, before me, and do
not believe that any person can do it to
such degree Of perfection. Therefore, if

The arrest of one of the editors of
Truth for the alleged forgery of postal
stamp, is one of tho common acts of fran
tic politicians on the eve of an election.
It is simply party madness Outstripping
itself, and it is a false assumption that the
public mind can be impressed by such
tomfoolery. 1t will simply dignity Truth
and make thousands read and believe it
who did not read or believe it before, and
every citizen possessing common sense will
know in advance that there can be no con-
viction for the alleged offense.

What 1t Shows.

Judge laws, OF New I Ork, hOldS t0al
publishing declaration that Gen. Gar
field is a liar, in denying that the Chinese
letter was written by him, malicious
libel is perpetrated if that denial is true
And on this doctrine he held Kenward
Philip to answer for charging Garfield
with lying on the affidavit of George
Bliss that it was false charge.
Whether that is good law may he ques,
toned, but if it is the Republican man.
ayers have ali elegant opportunity to put
all the Democratic editors in the coun.
try to Jail if they can only prove that Mr..
Garfield is s. truthful Jeems," for we
have nearly all expressed the most pro-
found doubt of it.
And more than that, We have actually
charged him in the most explicit way
with perjury.
Now the question that comes up to us
is whether Mr.. Garfield and his friends
would not manifest their Indignation
somewhat more vehemently and right
eously at charge of perjury than at one
of simple lying: for perjury is lying and
swearing to it, and is considered good
deal more heinous crime both in law and
in morals. 1t does strike us that a man
who sits quietly under charge of swear.
ing falsely and flies into rage over one
of speaking falsely certainly admits the
perjury anyway. And his friends do it
for him when they behave in similar
way. For they show that they don t
like to he accused of lying and are ready
to punch the head of the man who
charges and can't prove it. Therefore
they would he rs aggressive against the
man who charged their candidate with
perjury if they had any doubt at all that
he could prove it.
Consequently this prosecution of Ken
ward Philip for calling Garfield Il liar
shows one thing ut any-rate; and that is
that if there is any hope among the Re-
publican managers that the Chinese let
ter cannot he fastened on Garfield by
positive proof, they have none ut all that
he cannot be proven to have perjured him.
self in swearing that he never received
that Credit N[Obilier stock {; and if that
is admitted it is enough, for who wants
