From the N. Y. Sun.
A Dangerous Experiment with
President Garfield.

rAoAh tiio M sun.
A Dangerous Experiment with
President Garfield.
We trust that President GartieId's g
mind was perfectly clear, and in its
full natural working order yesterday
at noon when he signed the important
public document to which his sigma
ture was Indispensable" and which is
referred to in the despatch sent by Mr..
Blaine to London Immediately after
ward.
The advices sent from his bedside
to the E0ening Post of this city just
after midday represented his condition
as critical, and gave sundry details to
the effect that his pulse was still very
high, that his fever was obstinate, and
that there was a good deal of anxiety
about the immediate future. The
bulletin from the doctors issued half
an hour after 10 O'Clock, noon, said
that he was "getting through the day
in very satisfactory manner" but
that he still suffered from the debility
following the operation, and his pulse
was then as high as ITO.
1t is required by all the physicians
c'i"'s 1u bhlc Siloib Vi LIE CdS6, LILO
Presidents mind should be kept free
from any distraction over the business
of the Government, from any continu
GUS thought upon political questions,
and from any grave exercise re,
specting important public documents,
like those to which Mr.. Blaine al
ludes.
1t is beyond doubt that any serious
mental effort just now would be very
apt to endanger his life, would be very
certain to increase the fever which is
indicated by his pulse, and would sure
ly retard the processes of recovery
which depend upon the utmost quiet
and care.
The doctors have undoubtedly made
Mr.. Blaine aware of these facts and
we should suppose he must have OBJ
tanned their consent before he laid be-
fore their patient the important public
document to which his signature was
Indispensable. Asking man in
President Garfield's condition to con-
slider and sign such document ap-
pears to be a very perilous expert

BLOODY TRAGEDY.

The little town of Otis, not far from Michigan
City, Ind, was the scene of a horrible tragedy
on the last night of the old year. A wealthy
grown sons, and some younger children. lived
upon thir farm, two miles from Otis, a
nephew Henry Augustine, making his
home with them when i'll the neighbor-
hood. On the day III question Henry
returned to the farm from visit
o Chicago. Supper was prepared for Lin
and eaten. Afterward, Henry produced q
bottle of whisky, which, having bitter taste,
was not drunk. Candy given the children was
also Litter, and was rejected. At bedtime
Henry went 10 bed up STAINS with James Agus-
tine, Jr. After going TO bed Henry told
James that he would have to get up
in the night, and he need not be dis
turbed by hita. About IL O'clock Mr.. Augustine
awoke and saw Henry standing at the foot Of
his bed, pointing revolver at him, Mr.. Angus
tine drew the Clothes around him and moved
around in the bed to avoid being shot. Henry
at once fired at him, and then at Mrs. Angus
tine, and then jumped out of the room and
closed the door alter him. Mrs. Augu slime has
died. The reports of the revolver awoke the
sons, who slept up stairs Christian Augustine
came down stairs, asking what was the
matter Henry, III the meantime, had
stepped into the hall and into
the Kitchen, De1tn1 the door, ana when Chris
tan came through the hall, near the bedroom
door, Henry fred at him, killing HIM instantly.
James Augustine just then came into the
room, calling for his Cousin Henry. His father
told him not to let him in, III he had murdered
them, and would kill him if he got in James
then went to the kitchen door and held it to keep
Henry from coming in. A noise which James
thought came from the dead brother caused him
10 turn toward Christian. AS he turned the
assassin ru- he'd into the room and fired at
James, making slight wound across the back.
He then returned into the kitchen, and by the
light Of the stove reloaded the revolver, and
returned TO the door. which he found fastened,
and asked to come in, that he was then all
right and wanted 10 come In AMI help him that
he had been crazy. James told him To hand in
his revolver, mi he would let him in, which
he did, hanijag him the butt, which
James put in his pocket opened the door and
seized Henry, searched bis pockets and there
found broken butcher nnire. The other
point OF the blade was afterward found at the
foot of the bed. james, in his excitement, put
him in the kitchen. telling hum to stay there,
and called to his ii ster TO bring him the lam
tern, which she did without lighting. and while
he was attemp ing 10 light it Henry made a
dash for the kitchen door and made his escape
without hat or boots.

looked for his clothes he could find moth

all the rest into the water. The dog
saw what had happened, and, making
his little nina up what to do, he made
the boy let go the string by pretending
to bite him, dashed into the river, and
brought ont first the coat, and then all
the rest in succession. Charlie dressed
and went home in mis- wet clothes, aud
told his mother what fun he and the
dog had had. His mother told him that
he did very wrong in going across the
river as he had done, and he should
thank God for making the dog take him
over and back again safely; for if the dog
had made him let 60 iii the river, he
would most likely have sunk and been
drowned. Little Charlie said, "Shall |
thank God now, mamma ?" and kneeled
down Mt his mothers knee and thanked
God then, getting up again, he threw
his arms round the dogs neck, saying,

The Garfield Morey Chinese letter
comes to the light once more in the confession,
on the part of the paper that published it
to the world, that it is a forgery. The editors
of Truth have addressed letter to Gen.
Garfield, in Which they say: "After a
searching investigation, in which we have
spared neither time, energy, nor expense
we have traced the Morey letter to its origin
and ascertained that it is a forgery This sc-
acknowledgement is due from the journal in which
that letter first appeared. 1t IS made volunta-
riy, and as an act Of simple justice for, while
We believed, as wo did until few weeks past,
that you were the author of the letter, no bride

tanned our error now, It Is n qualification to us
to give the same prominence to this acknowl-
odGment that wo gave 10 the forged letter
itself, and thereby make all the amends i'll our
