Some Prophetic Lines by Garfield.

General Garfield, in one of his col
lege poems contributed to the Williams
Quarterly and entitled Memory"
wrote these lines.
"When the rough battle Of the day il

And evenings peace falls gently on the
heart,

Unto the utmost verge OF Memory's land,
And wandering thence along the rolling

1t il snid that Don Cameron, Of
Pennsylvania, is not regular in calling
for his pay. lie does not carry any
money with him, and runs bill at
the Senate restaurant which often
amounts to from 5000 to $500. When
dc needs any money he goes into the
cashier and tells him to send up to his
house $50 in ten cent pieces, 800 in
quarters, 5000 in halfdollars, and
500 or so in silver dollars. 1t is sug-
gcsted that Don used his salary in this
way as substitute for poker chips.

Ex-Soldiers.

at is understood" says a Wash
ington dispatch, "that Dudley, the
new Commissioner of Pensions, will
eliminate all employees whose political
records are questionable and make a
general sweep Of those who have not
served in the army" That is the
kind Of a stalwart Dudley is, and he
doesn't make any bones in saying so.
A political record" that is not "ques-
tionable" in Dudley's sight will indeed
be q beautiful one. And then all this
cheap talk about the ex-soldiers.
Dudley ought to know that the coun-
try is thoroughly sick and tired OF this
state soldier sentiment. The recogni-
ton Of the veterans" generally means
the recognition Of a lot of useless par
tisan bummers.

Good Time to Begin Needed Reform.

The Nashville Christian Adcocqte,
this week, ON the attempted murder of
the President, says:
Let this shameful tragedy emphasize
another lesson fer the American PEG
pie, namely: That human life is not
to be held SO cheap among Us. Let 1t
be a reminder that it is time that the
worthless and reckless fellows who
habitually go armed with their pistols
and knives, ready to shout and stab
at the slightest proYocation, should be
brought up with sudden and impera-
tive halt. Let it be understood that
hencefoith the laws against carrying
deadly weapons are to be sternly en-
forced. And let it come to pass that
the jury that turns loose n murderer
upon society must share his intamy.
Human life, made sacred by the law
Of Almighty God, must be better pro
teeted in this Christian country. And
now, in the shadow Of the great disas-
ter and disgrace that have fallen upon
the nation, when the hearts Of our
people are hot with righteous wrath
and bowed down with grief and shame
is a good time to begin the reform il
! terrible earnestncss.

If anything has been able TO console
Mrs. Garfield in her trouble and sor-
row, she must have been touched by
the knowledge that the loving wife,
llnceling by her husbands bed while
weak herself from the effects of re-

ism that woman alone can display in
the hour of anguish, has occupied a
place in the hearts ofthe whole Amer
lean people.

Guiteau, rs a Member Of the PIymOutl
Church.

information was obtained yesterday
showing that Charles J. Guiteau, the
would-be assassin of the President.
was once n member OF Plymouth
church, and upon further inquiry it
was ascertained from members of S.
Y. Halliday's family that he belonged
TO one of the Plymouth Bible classes
about u years, ago and lasted about
two wears. Mr.. Alvan Hill, who
taught the class Of which Guitcqu was
n member, when asked about it, said
that he remembered the person well
enough, having had personal expert
ence with him which clearly indicated
insincerity of his character. This he
explained by saying that the very
first time he ever saw Guiteau, the
latter said he was out of employment
and trying to find something to do,
and on the strength of that plea Dor
rowed 81 from him. After that,
said Mr.. Hill, 81 found that he was
not looking for work so when he
came to ne again, soon afterward,
and wanted to borrow more money l
fiatlv refused to let him have any.
That was the kind of eccentricity he
displayed. The custom was for mem
bers of class to hang their photo
graphs ON the wal, all in one frame.
and there it remained until lie COM
mitted that horrible assault on the
President. When l heard that he
WAS the person who did that | took

The Columbia Canal.

Thompson, the indefatigable, has by
no means abandoned his scheme of
developing tho water po wcr Of Colum-
bia. Now That the States concession
has expired by limitation, he is again
at work stirring up the people Of Co.
lumbia. He has new plan Of deycl-
oPe'nent which will diminish the
original estimates by one or two hun
dred thousand dollars. Four hundred
thousand dollars will widen the lower
half Of the canal, giving fifteen thou
sand horse power, and providing for
an initial mill Of i1ftccn thousand spin
oles. This Is Columbia's opportunity.
Fifteen thousand horse power admits
OF capabilities exceeding those Of
Lowell, or any other manufacturing
centre Of the United States. If this
power be developed, the beautiful cap
ital OF the State may hope to number
her population by the hundred thou
sand and property by the millions.
This Is stake worth striving for.
