water perfumed and containing an acid
to soften the skin, were given us, and
solemnly we sat and soaked our fingers
for fifteen minutes. At the end of that
time an operator on a low stool, seat
ed herself before me, dried one hand,
posed it OH Il pink satin cushion, and
with a fine steel instrument quickly
scraped away all the soft skin round
the nail, then she filed it into point AT
the top and clipped the sides with sharp
scissors, then she rubbed a red salve.

The process was repeated on every hn-

GarHeld's Brother,

A correspondent has recently hunted
up the brother Of President Garfield,
and found him living obscurely in the
backwoOds of Michigan, sixteen miles
from Grand Rapids. Thomas Garfield
for such is his name-is the eldest
brother Of the late President, and he
settled in Michigan In 1867, where lie
has since resided. II. purchased forty
acres of land. and, by the help of his
wife, cleared it for farming. He said
that his brother James had frequently
helped him IN various ways, and twelve
years ago purchased forty acres OF land
adjoining his farm and gave it to him.
1t is now occupied by his Oldest son, 81
years old. who il named after his uncle,
James Abram Garfield. In speaking OF
his early life Mr.. Garfield said:
II was child between 10 and IL
when father die |. and James was the
baby of l8 months. Mother was often
urged to find places for her children
among neighboring friends. but she al
ways refused, and sat in our humble
home spinning and weaving for such
people as would give her employment,
while set out working with all my
might among the neighbors to contrib
ute what a child could for tho family
support. | used to earn % cents cord
for chopping iiftecn-f 'oL wood, and
from my slender earnings paid 10 shil-
lings for meal. which l packed two
miles and half from the mill. and this
largely formed Our diet. And that
winter mother wove a large piece OF
cloth for the children. and l paid fol-
the dyes to color it. James was seven
years younger than the next Oldest
child, and was teaching school when
we were married. / well remember
carrying him on my back to the school.
house when he was child. His mind
seemed fully occupied with his studies,
and, if l say it myself, James was q
good AMI smart man."
Mr.. Garfield said that he was toe
poor to 60 to Washington to see his
brother during his illness, but he at.
tended the funeral at Cleveland. HI
gives the following account of theil
last meeting:
II can never forget the last time
met him. 1t was at Mentor last New
Years, when we held the family meet.

remembrance Of our parting. He tool

The richest man Virginia ever pro-
duced was Samuel Miller. His wealth,
as popularity calculated, amounted to
about $S.OO 900. When his State was
invaded, during the war, Mr.. Miller
himself, though a Union man, had a
visit from a rowing band. "His
stocks, bonds, letters, and account
books" says correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press, ''were thrown
around with lavish hand, and humid

vagers did not know the full value Of
these papers; but one of them did re-
cognize the glimmer of old gold in the
