PRESIDENT ARTHUR.

Chester Allan Arthur, who is now Presi- dent of the United States, was born at Fair field, Franklin county, Vermont, October 9th |, 1880 the son of the Rev. Dr. William Arthur,
 a graduate of Belfast College, Ireland, and a
 Baptist clergyman of some note. He was
 graduated at Union College, New York, in
 1S48, at the age of IS. After graduation he
 taught school for several years, studying law
 meantime and saving his money till he had
 five hundred dollars to the good. With this he entered the law office of the Hon. E. D.
 Culver, of New York. In 1852 he was ad-
 mitted to the bar and soon formed part
 nership with Judge Culver About this time he was married to a daughter of Lieutenant
 Herndon, U. s. N., the wife dying in Janu- ary 1880, leaving him with two children, a son of fourteen and daughter of eight. MT.
 Arthur has since been in active practice
 in New York. One of his first law cases was the celebrated Lennon suit. in which Mir.
 Arthur, in connection with William NJ
 Evarts, appeared in behalf of fugitive slaves and won their case against
 Charles O'Connor, who was employed
 by the master. At the outbreak of the var Governor Morgan appointed MT. Arthur en
 gineer-in-chief on his staff, and later quarter
 master general, where he did invaluable ser
 vice in the raising and equipment of volun-
 teers, exhibiting executive ability of the
 highest order. In July, 1862, at a secret
 meeting of loyal governors in New York, he
 was the only person present who was not 8
 governor. At the close of the war he re-
 turned to his extensive law practice. En
 tirely without solicitation on his part, and to
 his surprise, he was selected by General
 Grant in 1871 for collector of the port of
 New York. When President Hayes, at the desire of Secretary Sherman, proposed h1s removal petition for his retention was signed by all the prominent merchants and lawyers of New York, but Mir. Arthur hear ing of it, had it suppressed. After his re- moval he again devoted himself to his prac tice. His nomination as ce-president was also great surprise to him, and the position was accepted from a sense of duty, against his own inclinations. He has been an active worker in Republican politics. and is famil- l far with national affairs. All who know him, even his political opponents, concede his great ability and his uprightness.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR.


 It is comforting to think at this woful tune that though the great leaders among men die nations fulfil their destiny under the guidance of the Almighty. s'The Lord reigneth, :" s'and He doeth according to his will in the army of heaven and among the in habitants of the earth.' The future of this country is in His hands as its past has been
 For this reason especially, and for other reasons also, it is not necessary or wise to any great degree of apprehension. General Arthur becomes President under circum- stances which insure him the sympathy and support of all the patriotic people of the country. His words and actions since it be- came probable that he might be called upon to assume the duties and responsibilities of the high office have been of character to show that he has fully realized his posi- ton, and that he will labor to show himself worthy of the sympathy and support which will be freely granted him. He cannot forget, and the people will not forget, the manner in which he became President. He will not be base or impolitic enough to make his office wholly subservient to his personal and political friendships. In order to have successful, or even q tolerable administration he must ignore factions and seek to promote the welfare of the whole country.
 We feel certain that he will begin his great task in the right spirit and seek to deserve and retain the confidence of the people. They are all ready to be loyal to him, and will welcome evidences that he means to be loyal to them. He has ability, tact and com mon sense. He is vouched for as upright by those who know him we'll There is no req son apparent why his administration may not be pure, benefcent and successful. That it may be is now the sincere prayer of God fearing patriots all over this great and grief stricken country.

What a Western Spider Did.


 A very curious and interesting spectacle was to be seen on Monday afternoon in the office of livery stable in this city Against the wall of the room stands tolerably tall desk, and under this small spider, not larg- CT than common pea, had constructed an extensive web reaching down to the floor.
 About 11.3O o'clock Monday forenoon it was observed that the spider had ensnared a young mouse by pressing flaments of her web around its tail. When first seen the mouse had it's hind feet on the floor, and could barely touch the floor with it's fore feet. The spider was full of business, run ming up and down the line, occasionally bit- ing the mouse's tail, making it struggle des- perately. It's efforts to escape were unavail- ing, and the tender ilaments about its tail were too strong for it to break. In short time it was seen that the spider was slowly hoisting its victim into the air. By o'clock in the afternoon the mouse could barely touch the floor with its fore feet; by dark the point of it's nose was an inch above the floor. At 9 o'clock at night the mouse was still alive, but made no sign except when the spider descended and bit it's tail. At this time it was an inch and a half from the floor Yesterday morning the mouse was dead an. hung three inches from the floor.
 The news of the novel sight soon became circulated. and hundreds of people visited the

 very sorry to hear of the recall of Yung

 Cadet Midshipman Cooper, who has been suffering from chronic pynmia for six months and fourteen days, died at the naval hospital in Washington Friday. His symp toms were being paralleled daily by those of President Garfield At the post mortem ex animation of Cooper's body the right lung was found to be in state of advanced carni- fcation, attributable to low inflammation which had prevailed many weeks, during which period he constantly expectorated purulent matter. There was no abscess on the lung. It had simply been carnifed. The liver had grown tough the right kidney had become mass of pus; there was pus pock- ct inthe left illiac region; the bowels and bladder and the parts in the vicinity were in famed; in fact, the whole body was in state of low inflammation. The body was greatly emaciated. Cooper had assimilated little or no nourishment for weeks. He had been kept alive on powerful stimulants. His pulse in the early stages of the disease fuc- tuated at times between 14o and 15O. As the disease progressed it fell, ranging during several weeks between 9S and 1O4. Toward the end his pulse, temperature and respira tion fell lower. His temperature became so low that it was necessary to surround him with bottles of hot water. His respiration just before the end fell to G.
