GARFIELD.


Judge swayne on "the Sale of Influence" in Case
of Trist vs.. Child, q wallace, 441453.l
'An agreement, express or implied,
purely for professional services is valid:
With this category are included draft
ing the petition to set forth the claim,
attending to the taking of testimony,
collecting facts, preparing arguments
and submitting them orally or in writ
ing to committee or other proper au-
thority, and other services of like char
acter. All these things are intended to
reach only the reason of those sought to
be influenced. They rest on the same
principle of ethics as professional SER
vices rendered in a court of justice, and
are no more exceptionable. But such
services are separated by a broad line of
demarkation from personal solicitation
and the other means and appliances
which the correspondence shows were
-resorted to in this case"
General Garfield on His Own Relation TO the De

Question by Mr.. Nickerson-Gen-

or opinion, written, printed or other
wise, upon the subject of the De Gelyer
patent pavement? A. I could not say
did.
q. Did you at any time appear be-
fore the board and make any argument
whatever? A. I do not remember that

Shepherd on the subject, giving my
opinion in its favor.
@. Governor Shepherd has testi-
fed that you once spoke to him casual
ly on the subject. How much cash did
you receive from De Golyer and Nc
Clellan, or either of. them or their
agents, at any time for your agency in
the procurement of this particular con-
tract? A. Five thousand dollars.

Died,


At Strawberry Plains, Jefferson county, Tenn,
August a. 1880, Mrs. CLARA f. SIsK, of consump.
tion in the 29th year Of her age.
We can only glance at some of the excellencies
of character of this departed saint. By her kind
ness and gentleness of manners, she won the sf-
fections and esteem of all her acquaintance, but
IT was only those who knew her best that could
fully appreciate her worth. Modest and retiring,
vet firm and fixed when justice required that she
should speak. Patient and persevering in the dis
charge of both her domestic and religious duties.
Meek and self-abusing, she nearly what a
noble christian woman should be, as is often to be
found.
On the first day of January, 1877, she was mar
ried to DR.. James A. Slsk, practicing physician,
who had sometime before located at Strawberry
Plains Sometime about October, 1870, she made
profession of her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ,
and united with the Presbyterian church, g1N2AS
the most satisfactory evidence Of change Of
heart, by her godly walk, and chasts conversation
From the date of her conversiSn, she became
jealous, earnest active, christian woman, delight
ing in all the ordinances of Gods house. Dis
trustful Of herself yet strong in faith, in the full
fllment of the promises of the gospel, she was full
of zeal and good works She would meet her Sab
bath-school class on Sabbath morning, when so
feeble she could scarcely get to the church, and
was always in her place in the sanctuary, while
ever she had strength to sit up during short dis
course.
Sustained by the gracious consolation of the
gospel she bore her Affections with christian
grace and fortitude; and with humble resignation
to the Divine will, without mourning or rep1ning
at Gods providence, she passed to her reward
above.
''Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord
from henceforth that they may rest from their Ia
bors; and their works do follow them" s.

The war between Peru and Chill is
rapidly reaching its final stage. The
latter country has a splendid army of
40, 600 men in the field, and is preparing
the siege of Lima. The former, its
army gone, is "robbing the cradle and
the grave" by sweeping CONSUMPTION
of all men between the ages of 16 and
go years. These raw levies cannot com
pete with the well-trained veterans of
Chill, and when they are defeated and
brushed away the Peruvians must nee
essarily sue for peace, and must accept
any terms, however humiliating, that
may be imposed upon them.
Mr?AntOnio Daimolin, wealthy New
Yorker, with his family has been living
in the country during the summer, but
last week he received an intimation that
everything was not right at his city res
idence. Entering Unexpectedly, at
three o'clock on Sunday morning, he
discovered that things were decidedly
wrong. During his absence the servants
had held high revel They had invited
their male admirers, and tive or three of
these Mr.. Dalmolin found in the house
on the occasion of his unexpected visit.
The most expensive wines had been
drank, cigars smoked, provisions eaten,
and the house had been made liberty
hall for the servants during the entire
summer. This is perhaps not an excep-
tional ease.
