A man was struck down by paralysis
in Michigan sawmill. He fell across
a log which was being sawed, and was
carried with it slowly but surely to the
saw. He was conscious, but utterly
HELPLESS. The saw had cut half way
through his arm when his awful pre-
dicament was discovered.

A Distinguished Democrats Opinion Of
Mr.. Garfield.

The following letter from the distin-
gIished Democratic lawyer, Judge
Black, addressed to Mr.. Blaine, when
Speaker of the House, is strong and
clear about the connection of Gen. Gar
field with the Credit-Mobilier stock
transactions
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. Is, 1s13.-MY DEAR
SIR: From the beginning of the investigation
bilier, I believed that Gen. Garfield was free
from all guilty connection with that business.
confidence in his integrity, but on some special
knowledge Of his case. may have told you
all about It in conversation, but desire now
assert unhesitatingly that whatever Gen.
Garfield may have done or forborne to do, he
character of the thing which Mr.. Ames was
proposing to SELL He had not the slightest
suspicion that he was to be taken into ring
organized for the purpose of defrauding the
public, nor did he know that the stock was in
any manner connected with anything which
risdiction of Congress. Tho case against him
lacks the scienter which alone constitutes
"In the winter of lss9-7O l told Gen. Garfield
of the fact that his name was on Ames list;
that Ames charged him with being one of his
origin and objects of the Credit Mobiiier:
pointed out the connection 1t had with Con-
gressional legislation and showed him how inn
possible 1t WAS for a member of Congress to
hold stock in it without bringing his private
interests in conflict with his public duty. That
all this was to him perfectly new revelation
am as sure as can be of such fact, or of
any fact which is capable of being proved only
by moral circumstances. He told me then the
whole story of Trains offer to him, and Ames'
subsequent solicitation, and his own action in
the premises, much as he details it to the Com
mittee.. do not undertake to reproduce the
conversation, but the effect of il all was to
convince me thoroughly that when he listened
to Ames he was perfectly unconscious of any
evil. L watched carefully every word that fell
from him on this point, and did not regard his
narrative of the transaction in other respects
with much interest, because in my view every
thing else was insignificant did not care
whether he had made q bargain technically
binding or not, his integrity depended upon
the question whether he acted with his eyes
open. If he had known the true character of
the proposition made to him he would not have
endured ii, much less embraced it.
"Now, couple with this Mr.. Ames' admission
that he gave no explanation whatever of the
matter to General Garfield, then reflect that
not a particle of proof exists to show that he
learned anything about it previous to his con-
versation with me, and think you will say
that it Is altogether unjust to put him on the
list of those who knowingly and willfully
joined the fraudulent association in question.

The Back.Pay ClamOr.

The back-pay "charge'' is as base
less as anything can be. Mr.. Garfield
voted against the amendment to the
Legislative. Executive, and Judicial
Appropriation bill providing for in
creased salaries in every form and at
every stage. But, when the amend
ment was tackled on in spite of him, he
voted for the whole bill, as Chairman of
the Appropriation Committee, being in
charge of it himself. In a speech in the
House December 9, 1873, MIR. Wilson,
of Indiana, said on this subject:
1t matters not how many years of faithful
service had been devoted to the country, nor
builded up this one act has been deemed an
unpardonable crime. My distinguished friend
% Il until lin in S conference report Which h he had had
resisted to the last it was brought before the
apnrSnriapion Bills M and u then as all of ms who
are familiar with the facts most confidently
believe land it Is but justice to say so herel
his duty to his country, has farel no better
than any one else.
Mr.. Garfield was one of the first
members of Congress to return back
pay and the most earnest advocate OF
the bill repeating the increase. Speak
ing in reply to Alexander Stephens,
who advocated still higher salaries, Mr..
Garfield said:
One of the brightest and greatest men I
know in this Nation, man who, perhaps, has
done as much for its intellectual life as any
other, told me not many months ago that he
had made II the rule of his life to abandon any
intellectual pursuit the moment it became
commercially valuable; that others would utfl-
ize what he had discovered; that his ted OF
work was above the line Of commercial values.
and when he brought down the great truths OF
science from the upper heights to the level OF
commercial values u thousand hands would pc
ready to take them and make them valuable in
the markets of the world.
A Voice-Who was he?
Mr.. Garield-It was ARassiz- He entered
upon his great career, not for the salary II gave
him, for that was meagcr compared with the
pay of those in the lower walks of life; but he
followed the promptings of his great nature
and worked for the love of truth and for the
instruction of mankind Something Of this spir-
II has pervaded the lives of the great men who
did so much to build up and maintain our Re
publican institutions. And this spirit Is, in
my Judgment, higher and worthier than that
which the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Ste
phens) has described To come Immediately
to the question before ms, Join in no crimina-
tions against those who used their right to
vote and act differently from myself on this
subject But when the public says to me, and
to those associated with me, that we have,
under constitutional law, given ourselves
more pay than that public is willing to grant
us, IL would be fndelicate and indecent In US
on such question to resist that public
opinion.

Garheld's Record.

The Albany Journal summarizes it in
brief:
At fourteen, he was at work at car
penter's bench.
At sixteen, he was . boatman on the
Ohio Canal.
At eighteen, he was studying in the
Chester CO., Seminary.
At twenty-oue, he was teaching in one
of Ohio common schools, pushing for
ward with his own studies at the same
time.
At twenty-three, he entered Williams
College.
At twenty-six, he graduated from
Williams with the highest honors of bis
class.
At twenty-seven, he was a tutor at
Hiram College, Ohio.
At twenty-eight, he was Principal of
Hiram College. a.
At twenty-nine, he was a member of
the Ohio Senate-the youngest member
of that body.
At thirty, he was Colonel of the Forty
second Ohio Regiment.
At thirty-One, he was placed in COM
mand of q brigade, routed the Rebels
under Humphrey Marshall. helped Cen
eral Buell. in his fight at Pittsburg Land
of Corinth and in the important move
ments along the Memphis & Charleston
Railroad.
At thirty-two, he was appointed Chief
of Staff Of the Army of the Cumberland,
participated in the campaigns in Middle
Tennessee aud in the notable battle of
Chickamauga, and was promoted to the
rank of Major General.
At thirty-three, he was in Congress,
the successor of Joshua r. Giddings.
At forty-eight, having been cOntin-
uously in Congress since he was thirty
three, he was elected to the United
States Senate.
At forty-nine he was nominated for
the Presidency of the United States:
Such are the salient points in the his
tory of the man whom the Republicans
have selected as their, standard bearer
in the present campaign. The simple
unadorned statement of his record con-
stitutes his strongest eulogy-goes the
furthest in commencing him to the con-
fidence of his countrymen. There IS
no anti-climax in his career. 1t pro
ceeds from the humblest and most un-
propitious beginning step by step onward
and upward by arduous but honorable
paths. He is essentially product of
our institutions, man sprung from the
people, the incarnation of American
pluck, perseverance, self-reliance and
intelligence. He is in the best sense of
the word q self-made man. 1t has been
said that "most sef-made men worship
their creators" But Garfield has no
such conceit. The trials of his early
days did not daunt him, nor have the
triumphs of his manhood turned his
head. He is to-day what he has always
been, modest, unassuming, frank and
unaffected; q man of great and varied
resources, of thorough training and
large experience, full of sympathy for
the masses whose tolls he has shared,
| full of love for the country which he
periled his life to help save and for
whose welfare he has steadily labored
every since his entrance in to Congress.
| The Democratic party can place nc
man in nomination who can make any
headway against the carpenter, canaler,
teacher, soldier, statesman, James A
Garfield. -

The Red River Cart.

In 1872, accompanying the Chief
Engineer of the Canada Pacific Rail-
way, 1 rode across the Northwest from
Fort Garry to Fort Edmonton on the
North Saskatchewan; thence through
the woods to the Rocky Mountains, and
by the Yellow Head Pass to the Pacific.
All the way to Fort Edmonton-a dis
tance of nine hundred miles-Red River
carts carrying urluggage accompanied
us, easily keeping up with the saddles.

the trail across the plains. This one
fact speaks volumes rs to the open
character Of the country. 1t leads
travellers who confine themselves to the
trail to fancy that there is little or no

for do we not all Judge other people by
ourselves, and the world by what we
have seen of itp The Red River cart
was rather a curiosity to us at first, but
we soon found that it was the right
thing in the right place. Fancy q
clunisy-looking but really light box
cart, with wheels six or seven feet in
diameter and without an ounce of iron,
and you have it. The small bodies and
high wheels of these primitive convey
ances enable them to cross the miry
creeks partially borne up by the grass
roots, where ordinary vehicles would
stick hopelessly. Rivers are no more
impediments than marshes. Whip off
the wheels. put them and the body on
a buffalo skin, and your cart is meta
morphosed into a coracle on which you
float across, your horses swimming be-
side you. Should any part break in the
course OF q tbousand-mile journey,

WELLINGTON, O.. THURSDAY JULY g. 1880. !:

Intelligent readers may judge wheth-
er Mr.. Garfield, in his speech, exhibited
the spirit of salary-grabber or a sor-
did politician. He spoke simply as he
had acted all his life through. He has
not been a money-maker. He has not
made money. Spite of his great abili-
ties as lawyer and literary man, he
is one of the poorest public men in the
Nation, and at the same time one of the
most frugal, Industrious and temperate.

NATURES HARMONY.

Blest Is the sweetness of the air
That blows from out the clover mead,
1t doth the sensuous fancy feed
With all that's happy, free and fair.
1t lifts the sordid heart of work
o To gracious heights of recompense
Where quiet Is each lower sense,
Where no unworthy passions lurk.
But 1 drink in the tender sky,
The silent, listening grace of earth,
The love that gave each blossom birth
The strength that holds the pine ahigh
The gracious haze that wells the hills,
The busy cheer of bird and bee,
And squirrels chat, and children's glee,
All serve to swell the Joy that fills
My soul, that faithful to its source
Alone harmonious can sound
Where Nature breathes in life profound
And throngs each pulse with throbbing force
