to revive the president with hypodermic in
jections of brandy. Col. Rockwell then
went ont for a moment and returned with
Mollie Garfield. As the president passed
into a sinking condition he began to breathe
with great slow gasps. Col. Rockwell went
quietly to the windows and closed them.
Brown walked to Mrs. Garfield, who leaned
Ipon his arm as the president slowly breathed
his last. Mrs Garfield was calm save fOr
|convulsive shudders that at times oveTmas-
tered her The little girl sobbed bitterly,
| and her weeping and the presidents gasping
breath were the only sounds in the room.
Then Gen. Swain came to Miss Mollie fear
l'ng her grief would be too much for her
mother and led her away out of the room.
There was period of gasping and the pres.
ident ceased to breathe. Mrs. Rockwell
then placed her arm around Mrs. Garfield
and left the room.

Kind Words.
The Times has some kind words TO say fOl
President Arthur, who it says in his nativ,
State is most highly esteemed by the Re
publicans who even differ from him in re
gard to administration affairs. They ad
mire him as a man. The Times believe.
President Arthnr will recognize the faci
that the people chose Gen. Garfield to b.
president, and they approved his policy a,
far as he had an opportunity to carry il
out, and desire no changes IN the admins
tration, and especially no more change in 4
personal government than circumstance.
may make imperative. The administration
begins with the shadow Of death overhang
ing it and with a considerable mount o
clistrust in the minds Of the people.
