Many people at Washington are dissatisfied
that Garfield has not been allowed to see more
Of his friends President Hinsdale stayed Z
fortnight and went home disconsolate, General
be denied admission, and Mr.. Blaine has seen
him but once. But even this most rigid seclu-
sion admits to his bedside Mrs. Garfield, four
regular and two consulting physicians, General
Swain, Colonels Rockwell and Corbin, Mr. Dr..
Edison and DR.: Boynton. and 1.-TWO or three
man in his condition cannot we'll see more It
isn't likely he wants to see more.
An exciting runor reached Washington 4
few days ago that the cabinet has decided that
the time had come when the question of the
presidents inability under the constitution
could no longer be denied and that Arthur had
been sent for and Blaine had offered his resig-
nation. The report. was found to have no
foundation.
The Washington Post (dem. suggests that if
it should be necessary during the illness of the
president to have any executive appointment
made requiring the PersoDal psrticipancy or
signature of the president and the cabinet. to
or af1ix tho necessary signature, the proper
mode OF signing an executive paper would be
"Chester 4. Arthur, vice president and acting
president"
A Special from bayfield,, Wis. gives an ill.,
terview with ee; ator Beck Of Kentucky, with
take in case of the death Of President Garfield
Senator Beck said: It should be time when
love Of country should rise above all party
questions. AS to my course 1 would be in fav-
or of the election of some conservative Repub-
lican, say Henry B. Anthony of Rhode Island,
to the positions Of president pro tenn of the sen.
ate, and thus avoid any indtcement for any
insane person or political fanatic to desire the
death Of Mr.. Arthur. That would be grace
full recognition of the fact that under the
great calamity which had befallen the nation,
of spoils, were for the time forgotten.
Mrs. Garfield still feels sure that the presi-
dent will recover.

Coleridge: Socrates introduced ethics.

Charles Dudley Warner: Anybody can

reason we have so many poems which seem

not wind enough to finish them.
Sydney Smith: Not only study, that

The suicide of Judge Colt, of Massa-
chusetts. is regarded as warning of the
dangers of mental o9erwork, worry and
strain. He was the possessor of strong
frame, and sound physical health, a hap
py ana cheerful disposition, a large for
tone and an exceptionally happy home.
But he was conscious of some deficiencies
in legal learning. which he endeavored to
make up by severe application; but more
than this, he took his cases with him where.
ever he went, considering them at ail times
and hours in anxiety to fulfil his full duty.
The result of this was to break down his
strong mind, and all symptoms of pe-
riodic depression, self condemnation. and
finally doubt and despair indicated the ex-
act course Of mental disease produced by
overwork.

have never gotten such good idea Of
southern men as have here this week,
studying the types that come here from all
parts of the south. The southern men are
as class very good looking. Every now
and then you meet one that is strikingly
handsome, a splendid specimen Of physical
beauty. Southern men are generally tall,
broad-shouldered. deep chested, and are
very easy and simple in their ways and man
ners They have none of the push and
drive of northern men in the same stltion
of life, but they are much more agreeable
in social way. They are never ina hurry,
and are always ready with pleasant word
or an incident to help pass the time. They
are to each other like brothers. Out on
the grass or the lawn, in front of the house,
there is now a group of southern men
surrounding Gen. Cook. of Georgia,
rs he relates one of his good
stories. The affectionate way these men
have in their companlonship with each other
speaks volumes in explanation OF the unity
of the south. To be southern-born man
IS enough to entit,e one to the very best

meu. Talking with young southern gen
tleman recently upon the subject of the solid
south, he said: THAT is something that
the north does not exactly understand. We
are band of brothers. We have suffered
too much in common to be easily divided.
The republican party represents to us moth
ing hut oppression. It is not natural to
expect this generation of southern men to
90 ov-r to it or to be in any way united with
it. You will see the south solid during this
generation ut least"
the women and the men are apt to regard
northern peorle rs having no interests in
common with them. l do not find any ex-
pressions of dislike or distrust directed
against the northern people. The southern
people simply regard the northern people
as they woald men belonging to another
nationality.

CAPTAIN Howgate, late disbursing off,
Ger of the signal corps, is now regarded as
q first class swindler. His embezzlements
were first estimated at $40, 1000, but later
Investigations show that they aggregate
over O0.000. Howgate is estimated to
be worth between $30O, 900 and $500, 900,
and the most of his swindles upon the
government have been pe,petrated during
the last five years. He has raised checks,
made false vouchers and taken money in
the boidest manner. He has drawn checks
payable to bearer, and in that shape they
have been approved by the officers of the
treasury and paid at the cash room. These
crimes, together with various immoralities
constitute shameful record for an Office
OF the army and will lead to his dismissal.

AMONG the most remarkable burglarious
feats is that performed recently in St. Paul

number of midnight depredators. One of
them entered the room of lady and actu-
ally removed two rings, one Of plain gold
and the other diamond, from one Of her
fingers as she lay asleep in bed. She has
an indistinct remembrance of pain in her
finger when he pulled it Off. 1t is supposed
the burglars must have used ether or some-
thing else to produce the stupor the young

glars this season has produced something
like panic in some families. Lights are
