Garheld's Generosity.

F. H. Hurd, who was Democratic member
of the last Congress, came from Toledo to New
York, Sunday night and all day Monday lie
was down town, stumping with his one leg
from bulletin board to bulletin board, studying
the fastest news and trying to draw conclusions
from conflicting stories. He talked in a very
feeling manner on the steps ofthe Aston House
to q Tribune reporter.

James A. Garfield. We have always been OPP

An Ideal Wife.
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Henry E. Knox,
United States Marshal for the Southern Dis
trict of New York, is in the city. He was a
classmate of Gen. Garfield at Williams Col
lege. and is intimately acquainted with his
family. In conversation with the Commercial
correspondent to-day Mr.. Knox said: "To me
the most touching thing of this sad affair is
the perfect devotion manifested by Mrs. Gar
field. The American people do not know her
yet, but they will come to love her before the
end of the Presidents term. She is not a
fashionable woman in any sense. While her
husband was member Of the House she did
not mix to any degree in the winter society of
the capital. She passed most of her time at
home, supervising the education of their chill
dren, who were not sent to preparatory
school for college until very recently, The
intense devotion which she feels for her hus-
band and which the President in equal meas
ure reciprocates, can hardly be understood by
those who do not know both well. remem-

A Princely Gift.

Last week Mr.. Cyrus W. Field proposed to
the New York Chamber of Commerce to raise
$25O,0O0 as fund to be invested in govern
ment bonds and deposited with the New Y ork
Banking Association, in trust for Mrs. Gar
field-the interest to be given her during bel
life, and the principal to be divided between
her surviving children after her death. The
proposition was eagerly accepted and acted
upon, and already nearly half of the amount
has been subscribed
The object, first, was to testify the sympathy
ofthe country with Mrs. Garfield; second, to
secure a comfortable maintenance in the event
of the Presidents death, as his means are quite
lin tied, and to relieve the President of all
anxiety, in that respect, for his family during
his dangerous illness.
