THE ASSASSINATION.
The Shooting of President Garfield
at Washington.

Washington and the country were
startled on Saturday morning by a
report that the President of the United
States had been assassinated. The Presi-
dent was in the Pennsylvania depot, on
his way to Long Branch, where he pro-
posed to spend n few days previous
to his New England visit, and was about
entering the ladies' waiting room when
he was approached by an assassin who
fired two shots at him, both of which
took effect. One entered just above his
hip, under the left arm, and one Just
above the heart. The President at the
time was surrounded by most of the
members of the Cabinet Secretary
Blaine stood at his immediate left. The
assassin approached from behind and
stood within eighteen inches of the
President when he fred, and just be-
hind him.
The President was conveyed to the
Executive Mansion under a strong es-
cort of Metropolitan police. Two COM
panies of regulars from the Washington
barracks were ordered out to pre-
serve quiet. Great excitement prevailed
and the streets are thronged with anx-
ious inquirers, eager to learn the con-
dition of the President.
The pistol with which the firing was
done is a California weapon, with an
extremely heavy calibre, better known
as "Bulldozer.
The name of the assassin, as written
by himself, is Charles Gitteau, and he
says he is an attorney law in Chicago.
The star says in an extra that when
the assassin was arrested he said,
81 did it and want TO be arrested. /
am Stalwart, and Arthur is President
now. l have q letter here that / want
you to give to Gen. Sherman. 1t will
explain everything. Take me to the
police station"
Charles Gitteau, the would-be assassin,
is foreigner by birth. He has been a
very persistent applicant for consular
position. He has haunted the Execu-
tive Mansion for several weeks, and his
disappointment in not getting what he
wanted led to temporary alteration of
mind.

Abusing His Own Brother.

Old ex-senator Cameron once related
an incident which exhibits one of the
fro AXIS of eccentric human nature
was one day sitting in the saloon of
the steamer, where boisterous fellow
was talking disagreeably of Senator
Tom Benton. | listened for while and
finally said to him:
"Your remarks, sir, are exceedingly
distasteful to me-" and l used some
other expressions to let him understand
that / did not approve of his assault
upon Mr.. Benton.
The man immediately fired up and
retorted, "He is my brother, sir, and
I'll abuse him as much as I've mind to.

Never Thought of 1t.

The significant fact that laboring men
are almost invariably free from dyspep-
STA suggested very simple remedy for
that disorder, which, according to DR..
Edwards, was actually applied by a
Philadelphia physician. The patient, a
rich merchant, was informed that if he
would consent to leave his business and
be at great trouble and expense he
could secure immediate relief. The
sufferer professed perfect willingness to
make such sacrifices whereupon he
was told that in San Francisco dwelt a
physician who had made special study
of his complaint and would unquestion-
ably cure him. The patient hurried to
San Francisco, where he spent a week
in the vain effort to ind the physician,
who was, of course, the creation of his
advisers brain. With a mind too full
of wrath to leave room for thoughts of
business, he hurried back to Philadel-
phia, and bitterly reproached the man
who had sent him on a FOOLS Grand
"But, my friend" returned the other,
chow is your dyspepsia ?" The mer-
chant had not thought of that, for the
doctors ruse had been successful, and
the man was well. This story, for
whose truth DIR. Edwards seems to
vouch, may be taken to mean too much.
No doubt the patient was relieved
through the doctors device from the
particular cares which had engrossed
his mind, but it should not be overlook
ed that the long journey by rail gave
his body a thorough shaking up, and
stimulated all its functional activities.

Charlotte IN. c. Observer.


One day last week Tom Elwood,
who is we'll known in Charlotte, was
in town, and filled up pretty consid>
erably on the ardent. On bis way
home-a colored man driving his
wagon-he discovered moccasin
snake by the roadside. He ordered
his driver to stop, and got out to kill
the snake. Catching his snskeship
with a strong grasp in the right
hand about amidships, the reptile
showed vigorous fight, ADD bit Ell
wood three times on the arm. Be-
coming iucensed at such treatment,
ne asserted with an oath that he
would not be outdone as bitist, and
attempted to get the snake's head
into his own mouth with view Of
returning the compliment. In bis
attempt to do go the snake again bit
him severely on the cheek, which
only rendered him more furious
He finally succeeded in getting a
death grip en- the snake with bis
teeth, and actually bit off it's bead.
Strange to say, the snakes bites,
usually considered poisonous, had
no appreciable effect upon EIwood.

A CANNON TO SHOOT TEN MILES.
The making of the patterns for
Lyman Haskell accelerating OF mus
tilating gun, at the Scott foundry Of
the Reading, Pa, Iron works, has
begun. The gun will be twenty
FIVE feet long and have q bore six
feet feet 10 diameter. Along the
bore four pockets will be located, 10
each Of which charge of powder
will be placed, with the view Of sc-
celebrating the speed Of the ball after
it leaves the chamber of the gun
and during its progress through the
bore. Experts who have seen the
drawings aud have given the sub
iect of the manufacture Of heavy
ordnance a study have expressed
the opinion that the gun will throw
a ball distance of ten to twelve
miles, whereas FIVE miles is a good
range for the best cannon. The
charge of powder will be 1870 pounds
and the weight of shot $50 pounds.
1t is calculated that shot from the
gun will penetrate through two feet
of solid wrought iron.
