ADVERTISEMENTS ARE NEws.--Good,,
fresh advertisements, trathfully says tho
Albany Press, are not the least interesting
and valuable portion Of q newspaper. we
havo been told that prominent New
York journalist hoped to zee the day when
tho profits on the circulation of his paper
would bo SO large that he could dispense
with advertising altogether. Wo think he
is mistaken in his, opinion of advertising
and newspapers. Advertisements are nows. !,
They tell tho readers what they want to,
kuow-where goods can bo bought; what
they are sold for; who has houses to rent
or sel; who wishes to purchase real estate;
where employment and labor can be OBJ.
tained; and thousand other things they
want to know. It is an error to suppose
that only the editors aud reporters supply
news worth reading. The skillful adyertiser
furnishes good share Of It, and if there'
are any readers who foil to look ovor the I
advertising columns Of their paper, they
miss great deal of information that WOULD
prove valuable to then,es 8d Sjsp@ sisfsv 2

did not care to speak of the punishment to be meted out to the assassin. Vengeance is mins, will repay, saith the Lord" But even now Guiteau cringes in his suffers the terrors of the damned. The Christian faith of the dead President was then alluded to and the thought expressed that having attained the highest rank on earth it remained alone for God to call him higher. The coincidence was mentioned that both Presidents having the name of Abraham had been assassinated. At the close of the address the Vocal society sang the favorite hymn of the late President, and President Hinsdale pronounced the benediction, pre- ceding it with a short prayer, the theme of which was that the sore experience of this day taught the truth of the Gospel, that the grave is the end of all things on earth. Sec retary Blaine and the Garfield boys entered the vault. Other prominent persons crowd ed forward to gather scattered flowers as me- mentoes, and before the procession departed all the flowers beneath the canopy had been secured. The family carriages had started on the return, followed by other vehicles con taining the Cabinet and State guard of honor. The occupants of each uncovered their heads when passing the tomb. A military guard has been placed over the vault where the re- mains now rest, and will be continued until the casket is placed in the lot which has been selected, which Mrs. Garfield now intends shall be within few days.
 THE RETURN FROM THE CEMETERY.
 The return from the cemetery was not made in order. The divisions who had stood guard along the march, and who had divided to allow the funeral car to pass through, came back without going to the cemetery after 3 o'clock hastened the breaking of the line. Many of the communicates and some visiting organizations returned over the same route, and met and marched with un- covered heads through the square and under the pavilion, dividing at the catafalque. Some of the organizations exhibited their fancy drilling coming down Euclid avenue, little before now Justify appIauded this by play to the solemn event The funeral pro- cession was a grand one, magnifcently made up and of impressive appearance, but almost too cumbersome for perfect handling.

Some Old Time Ministers.

There was formerly bright array OF clerical
gentlemen in the river towns, and it would be
most amusing to collect the anecdotes which
the old people of the last generation delighted
to tell of them. Not to speak OF the we'll
known Portsmouth divines, and Of Dr. Stew
vens, of Kittery Point, there was the Reverend
Mr.. Litchfeld, OF Kittery, who was called the
fisher parson, and his neighbor, Parson Chand-
ler, who might have been called the farmer
parson, for he was a celebrated tiller of the
soil, and his example was a great blessing to
the members of his Eliot parish. The fields
there slope to the south and west, and the
grass grows green sooner than anywhere else
in the region, and the fruits Of ths earth grow
and ripen quickly. He taught his neighbors
to improve upon the old fashions Of agricul-
ture. An old friend of mine told me that once
he was driving from Portsmouth to Ber-
wick, in his early manhood, with Daniel Web
ster for company, and when they passed this
clergyman's house Mr.. Webster said that he
should be perfectly satisfied if he could be as
great man as Parson Chandler; aud Judging
from the stories of his wisdom and eloquence,
the young lawyers was no mean amoltlon. Mr..
Litchheld of Kittery, spent much OF his time
on week DAYS in the apostolic business of
catching fish; and he was a man of rare wit
and droIlery, with sailor-like serenity and
confidence in everything's coming out right at
last, and true mariners readiness aud in
tentness when there was work to be done
Once, at a conference in Portsmouth, the
preacher failed to come and some one had to
furnish a sermon in his place. 1t fell to Mr.
Litchheld's share; and old DR. Buckminster
said, when the discourse was ended-lt being
extemporaneous and very eloquent-"hy

PHILADELPHIA North American; The
unanimity of favorable opinion in regard to
the ruling President is no less remarkable
than gratifying. We fully agree with those
who hold that Mr.. Arthur is worthy of the
confidence of his fellow countrymen, and
may be trusted to discharge the duties so
tragically imposed upon him with an eye
single to the general good. These are the
precise sentiments which we have from the
first expressed and entertained. We took
occasion to declare them when the Chicago
nominations were first announced, and to
repeat them with unhesitating emphasis i'm
medately after the crime of July 2. We
therefore have peculiar reasons to feel salts
fed at the direction in which public opinion
has now set, but at the same time we can
not fail to remark that there have been
large number of conversions within the last
few days and weeks. Hereafter people will
perhaps exercise more deliberation in arriy-
ing at their conclusions.

SERGEANT Mason is described by bis su-
perior officers as a good shot His pop at
Guiteau was not so much of "miss" as is
generally supposed, although he missed hit
ting the wretch. The shot was the result
of observation and calculation, not the re-
suit of direct aim. Guiteau's cell'window
opened on a corridor, and about ten feet
across the corridor was another window.
The shot had to be fired on line with both
windows from point in the Jail yard, and
Mason could not see Guiteau's window at all
when he flied. He judged that Guiteau
would be standing at it, as he invariably
did when the guard was changed, and on
that occasion he fired Had Guiteau been
at the window, he would now be a corpse.

PRESIDENT Garfield left rich and copious
materials for an intelligent and appreciative
biographer in his diaries, scrap books and
private correspondence. Busy as he was he
had kept diary for many years, had all his
printed speeches pasted into scrap books,
and kept all important letters written to him
and copies of many of his replies.

suggesting that the Americans in London
would gladly join, if permitted, in placing
slab of American granite in Westminster
Abbey with the words, SIN gratitude for the
common sorrow of the English people in the
death of President Garfield" The CORE
spondent suggests that President Arthur
should make this his first act, and permit a
stone from the Abbey with similar words to
be brought to Washington.

In the gossip connected with the story OF
the events of the last night in the death
chamber of the President, is the story that,
at about $50 o'clock, DR.. Bliss wrote the di-
reetion for the watcher on the tablets used
for the purpose, and when he drew it from
the pad of which it was part, he found it
was the last sheet. Remarking the fact to
Gen. Swain he said, "It doesn't signify,
but if we were superstitious in the presence
of this crisis, we might misinterpret its
meaning,o
