A Sad, Impressive Scene.

NEW YORK, September 20.-The
Heralfs postscript has the follow
ing: The death-bed scene of the
president was a scene peculiarly sad
and impressive AS soon as the
doctors felt there was no longer any
hope the members of the family as
sembled, DR.. Bliss stood at the head
of the bed with his hand on the
pulse of the patient and consulted
in low whispers with DR.. Agnew.
The private secretary stood on the
opposite side of the bed with Mrs.
Garfield at the bedside, she at times
leaning on his arm. Mrs. Lulu
Rockwell and Miss Mollie Garfield
came into the room at the time the
president lost consciousness. After.
ward they went into the hall, the
door of which remained open, and
waited there. What conversation
was had was conducted in whispers.
Those about the bed occasionally
went into corners of the room and
spoke 10 each other. The solemnity
of the occasion impressed itself upon
them. There was no sound heard
except gasping for breath of the
sufferer, whose changing color gave
indications of the near approach of
the end. After he had repeated at
hurts" he passed into a state of un-
consciousness, breathing heavily at
times, and then giving a slight indi-
cation that breath was still in his
body. The only treatment given
was hypodermic injections of bran
dy by DIR. Agnew, assisted by DIR.
Boynton. Occasionally they spoke
with DIR. Bliss in quiet whispers.
The president suffered no pain. Af-
ter time he placed his hand upon
his heart. He passed away almost
quietly. The time between life and
death was marked by no physical
exhibition nor any word. The in
teryals between gasping became
longer, and presently there was no
sound. Every one present knew
death had come quickly, without
pain. When it became evident that
he was dead, Mrs. Rockwell placed
her arm around Mrs. Garfield and
led from the room. She uttered no
word. Warren and Stanley Brown
watched over it through the night.
Mrs. Garfield went to her room in
the adjoining cottage, but paced the
floor for hours.
DIR. BOynton gives the following
account of the death scene: He had
been sleeping quietly until about
fifteen minutes before his death. /
slipped into the room to examine
his pulse and found it had grown a
little weaker, but not dangerously
weak. The president said to Swain,
"Oh, Swain, what terrible pain |
have bere," and he placed his hand
upon his breast over his heart. The
doctors and members of the family
had by that time gathered and a
colored man stood at the door.
There was scarcely a perceptible
movement anywhere on the suffer-
er's features, and no movement of
the limbs. His pulse was less fire.

nation and found no pulse. / put
my ear down to bis heart, but dis
covered no pulse. Mrs. Garfield
placed her hand upon his chest,
partly bending over him until he
died. All Of Us sat there little while,

The JOURNALS record OF import

without our good Governors proc
lsmation, a brief mention of which
was all we had space for last week :
To the people Of Nebraska:
EXECUTIVE OFFICE,
LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 20, 1SS1{
The terrible tragedy which oc-
Cured in the City of Washington on
the I'd of July last, when the chief
magistrate of the nation became the
object of an assassin's unprovoked
and desperate assault, has finally
eliminated in a national disaster,
too mournfui to be announced i'm the
ordinary language of sorrow. Our
honored and beloved president,
James A. Garfield, died at Long
Branch, N. j., at 10: 30 p. m, yes
terday.
After many weeks of intense suff-
ering the strong, brave heart is still,
and the friends of law and order and
good government throughout the
world are bowed with grief, as those
who feel the weight Of personal
bereavement. The nations calami-
ty brings sorrow to every household
i'm Nebraska, and awakens the ten
derest feelings of sympathy for the
afflicted companion and fatherless
children of the late president. These
emotions of grief and sympathy will
find appropriate expression in every
city, village and rural home. In
harmony Herewith it is suggested
that on the day set apart for the
final obsGquies all public offices and
other places of business be closed.
1t is also recommended that the
people assemble throughout the
state in their respective places of
worship and with appropriate relig-
ious exercises participate in the
nations memorial service on that
occasion.
AS a farther manifestation of the
sorrow that is felt by all, and as a
mark of respect for the exalted
character of our late chief magis-
trate, il is ordered that the national
flag be displayed at half-mast on the

VIEWING THE REMAINS or THE LATE
PRESIDENT AT ELBERoN.
ELBERoN, September 21-S 80 a.
m.-Arrangements have been COM
pleted and notice given that all those
wishing may view the remains of
the late chief magistrate. The line
is formed and people are passing in
single file through the cottage. Two
sentinels are stationed at each side
of the entrance TO prevent more
than one person entering at a time.
The casket is very unpretentious,
being covered with black cloth, and
with the exception of silver mount
ings, perfectly plain. The only de-
corstion is large "V" shaped Sage
palm, which extends from the foot
of the cssket upwards. The remains
are lying on the first floor of the
cottage and people pass in at the
east door and without stopping 90
out at the west. The appearance of
the late president is so changed that
persons familiar with his natural
countensnce would scarcely recog-
nize him. Church bells are tolling
and the crowd continues to increase.
The cars which are to be used for
the funeral train have just been run
up to Francklyn cottage.
9:30 a. m.-The engine and coach
es are now in readiness to start. The
entire train is heavily draped in
mourning. The line formed from
the hotel to Francklyn cottage has
been diminished somewhat, but
Ocean avenue for two blocks in
either direction is blocked with ve-
hicles. Extreme solemnity pervades
the sssemblage.
RELIGIOUS SERVICES.
AT half past nine O'Clock Chief
Justice Waite, Secretary and Mrs.
Blaine, Secretary and Mrs. Window,
Secretary and Mrs. Hunt, Postmas-
ter General and Mrs. James, and |

aud Attorney General McVeigh ar
rived at Francklyn cottage and the |
doors were closed TO visitors. Re-
ligiOus services were conducted by |
Rev. Charles J. Young, of Long
Branch at the request of Mrs. Gar
field. There were present besides
the family and attendants, members
of the cabinet, their wives and few
personal friends, numbering about
80, when the moment for services
was announced, the windows and
doors were closed and the most
solemn silence prevailed.
This morning, after the conclusion
Of the services, Mrs. Garfield, ac-
by her son Harry, Col.
Swain, Col. and Mrs. Rockwell,
Miss Mollie Garfield, DIR. Boynton
and G. O. Rockwell, left the cottage
and boarded the first coach. The
members of the cabinet and their
wives followed and took seats in
the second coach. Mrs. Garfield
was heavily veiled, and in passing
the calm fortitude which
has characterized her manner
throughout.

How TO KEEP EGGS FRESH.-A cor
respondent of the Lancaster Farmer
writes: 1T is sometimes desirable 10
stow away eggs in TIE summer or fall,

afford to sell them they are often keen

good price. To keep them thus we be-
lieve there IS no more efficient way than
the one | have always practiced, aud
which was successfully pTacticed 10y my
father for the last thirty or forty years
This is 10y taking none but perfectly
fresh and sound eggs aud setting them
in layers on the top or small end. in Il
box ur basket OF anything that viii hold
eggs. We do not put anything between
nor do we put them up air-tight, but
always put them in the celler. Eggs we
have put away in this position are as
good and fresh six months after as the
day they were laid, and we never found
one among them that was spoiled or
stale when TINS served. We feel conf
dent that they would keep good and
fresh for one wear

FERTILIZING THE CORN CROP.-F.
Y ork, Pa. writes: Farmers planting
