D. a. Leland, who was arrested, at the instira

malicious treatment that radical nhumonitv

into their clutches during those days of anarchy,
oppression and personal outrage. Mai Lcland's

the scenes and trials through which he and those
incarcerated with him went through. As his.

GARFIELD on THANKSGIVING DAY
HOW A WASHINGTON CHURCH
WAS HONOREO.

The plainest church in Washington
with the most unpretentiOus congre-
CATION, is the one where Gen. Giar-
field attended Thanksgiving services
tO-,lay. The fashionable churches
were crowded and their cOmnlOdious
auiience-rOOms were tastefully deco
rated with grains and fruits, and
autumn foliage. All departments of
the government and each of its coor-
dinate branches We're represented in
these more fashionable churches.
Gen. Garfield had been invited to at
tend the Presidents church, and, his
declination being known, IT was sup
posed that he did not expect To attend
anywhere, 81 there was only the usual
audience in the little churches where
lie and his wife are members. In the
prominent places of worship there
were great crowds, elaborate decora-
tons, and special efforts in music and
pulpit service. But in this small,
One-story frame church, only thirty
feet by forty, moderately filled with
plain people, who boosted neither
rank nor wealth, the most noted man
i'm American politics, saw with his
family rs members, and participated
with the rest in the services of the day.
There is scarcely village of 800 in
habitants in the north which may not
boast more pretentiOus church build
ing. In this quiet spot, and i'm this
plain manner, the President-clect at
tended his first service in the capitol.
At its close, the small congregation
with which he and Mrs. Garfield have
long wOrshiped, crowded around those
who were now the most prominent
couple i'm the land, and extended most
hearty congratulations. The simple
surroundings, the great prominence i'll
the country of the two central figures,
and their full identification with these
church friends, together made scene
deeply touching to the few strangers
who witnessed it. The illusions of
the pastor to the great honor which
had come to one of their members was
in keeping with all the rest
After naming a variety of reasons
for national and personal thankful
ness, he went on to say that their own
church and denomination had a
special reason for gratitude in the
prominence that had given both by
the honors which had been gathered
by one who had so long worshipcd
with them.

and Gen. Logan each responding,
General. I'm glad TO see you," while
Gen. Grant. being last to get out of the
vehicle, with Gen. Garfield, followed
the others into the house. After re-
moving their wraps the party were
ushered into the parlor, where they
were introduced to the members of the
family The greeting on all sides
seemed Of the most friendly character.
After few minutes passed in CONVEX

down, Gen. Garfield led his guests to

spread, of which the whole Of the
party who had come with them from

people to see Gen. Grant being 81

and Gen. Logan following soon after.
The three afterward appeared Oh the
porch, and short speeches were made
to the crowd assembled. The ''meet-
ing" was now over. The guests had
dOnned their hats and OvercOats, and
were ready to leave. There hadI been
no conference or anything like one.
All conversation thus far had been in
the presence of a throng, and there
was apparently no thought about an
agreement They prepared to bid
adieu to the household, while Gen!
Garfield ordered up the carriages for
the return. Before the latter could be
brought up furious storm broke up

FROM SOUTH GREELEY.

I saw piece in your paper of No
vember 18th, from South Greeley.
Who Is South Greeley? Is he q
preacher, or does he know how to get
the good will of the rising generation,
or can he make a horse drink? He
would like to have preaching every
Sunday. But will going and coming
save Soul. The Bible says. show me
thy works without thy faith, and l
will show you my works by faith.
The Bible says that God is Love; now
can, there be any love for the rising
generation to publish them in the pa
pers, if they did want to 60 into a
saloon to hear some music? As for the
kicking part-I think that part of
the South Greeley letter is false. Now
Mr.. Editor, l think we had better go
into our closet and shut the door and
and ask our Heavenly Father to lead
those from sin, in place Of getting the
i'll will Of them by publishing them in

profess TO knew Him, To watch and
pray. Let him that is without sin
