James, VINO aTElVeG from w lAlAaH6tOWu
today, called on the Presidents mother,
and afterwards Harry and Miss MOllie
called. It is thought that James has e.
covered from the attack of malarial
from which he has been suffering, but
he looks badly, and is certainly not
strong. The two sons are with their
grandmother at Mrs SheldOn's.
/: is the intention Of Mrs. Garfield to
have the most prominent of the floral
offerings sent to Mentor for preserva-
ton. 1t is quite probable that Mrs.
Garfield will go direct from the GENE
terry to the cars, and proceed to her
home in Mentor on Monday afternoon.
The details for the funeral are not yet
entirely completed.
LIES RACE WELL RUN.
The Presidents coffin lies with the
head towards the cast. The words,
Lilies race well run, life's work we'll
done, life's crown well won; now comes
rest" appear in beautiful letters on a
scroll between two pillars. A foot
above this is a 1ne crayOn portrait Of
the deceased.
On the head Of the coffin rests the
elegant floral wreath ordered to be
made at New York by Queen Victoria.
At the foot are two ferns lying crossed.
except heavy velvet and Grape cloth,
which is attached to tie pillars. About
seven o'clock this evening Postmaster
General James and wife and Gen. Phil.
Sheridan were noticed to come into the
building They expressed great admir-
alton at the beautiful and tasteful ar
| rangement.
THE LOVE OF MOTHER AND CHILD.
At York, Pa, there was q very large
! crowd at the station when the funeral
train drew up. 1t was dark, but Mrs.
| Garfield pressed her face against the
| window, and, after long look at the
great thrOug, said TO Mrs. MacVeagh,
who sat beside her: "You don't know
how | appreciate the kindness of those
people, and she repeated the expression
of her satisfaction at Harrisburg, where
a throng much greater than that at York
had assembled. Mrs. Garfield retir.
about midnight, as did most of the par
| ty on the train. She slept. she said, as
well as she has for many nights. When
Miss M0llie re ired, about9 O'Clock, she
went to her mothers side to kiss her
good night. Reused by her daughter
from her reVerie Mrs Garfield turned
lovingly to kiss her, but when the poor
girl saw her mothers sad, tear-stained
face, she could not restrain her emotion
and burst into a flood of tears as she
threw herself into her mothers arms.
1t was extremely touching to see tho
mother, forgetting for the moment her
own heavy burden of grief, comforting
the bFOken-heaRted child She hushed
her sObbing in her arms as though she
had been but babe. Having s9otAed
| the half-distTessed little girl She Kissed
her again and again, and with q fare
well God bless you" sent her to bed.
