Mrs. GnrReId's Fund.

The fund for Mrs. Garfield now amounts
to S156,757.65. and the promoters of the
movement seem to be confident that it can
readily be increased to S250000 if the Prcsi-
dent should not recover. Certificates for
$125000 in Government bonds, worth $145,
2S1.25, have already been placed in the
hands of Mrs. Garfield. New York heads
the list with S113, 274.s0, Philadelphia comes
next with S12,2S4.25, and Chicago follows
with 81 800. Baltimore so far is credited
with a single contribution of $40. On Sat.
urday last Messrs Drcxcl & Co., of Phila.
dclphia, notified Mr.. Cyrus w. Field that in
the event of the Presidents death they pro-
posed to receive in that city subscriptions
to the fund for Mrs Garfield's benefit, head
ing the list with $1,000, and inquiring
whether Mr.. Field approved of the plan, in
reply to which he telegraphed his approval

yictoria's Enormous wealth.

iTlSn WOTlu.
correspondent of the London Echo, after
proposing the question, "Who is the richest
woman in the world ?" goes on to prove that
Queen Victoria is that fortunate individual
lie shows that the annual income of the
Queen is S2,000,000. The annual eypcndi-
turc is only 81 100000. The sum saved, to-
gether with the interest for forty-one
years, would represent total between S75,-
100000 and SS0,00O0 900. The interest alone
on this immense sum would give % return Of
50 250, 900.
Notwithstanding their mother is so enor-
mously rich, the Prince of Wales and his
youngest brother appear before the public as
mendicants. The Prince of Wales is anxious
that Parliament should pay his debts, which
have been contracted in ways that are any,
thing but crcditable to the reputation of the
heir apparent. Prince Leopold wants Par
lament to increase the 5000 he gets every
year by an additional grant. There is no
reason for this increase, except that his
mother has lately conferred upon him the
title of Duke of Albany. 1t Is pretty cer-
tain that if the new title gave Leopold the
right to draw on his mothers purse he would
never have received it. His mother would
never let her millions be diminished in that
way. But when the comforting of new titles
on her children affords a chance to lay adj
ultlOnal DuruenS on tne Already over
loaded back of the Taxpayers Of Great Brit
ain and Ireland, Vic. is not so considerate.
When we consider the enormous wealth
of this woman, and then see her sons appear
ing with hats in hand before Parliament in
the character of beggars, we can form some
notion of the avarice of the mother and the
meanness of the sons. The mother hordes
her millions, and while doing so stcels her
heart to the cries of distress that famine
wrings from those whose labor has contri-
buted to swell those millions, and when at
last forced by public opinion to do some.
thing, she cannot bring herself to contri-
butte more than n couple of thousand dol
lars from her enormous wealth. The sons,
lost to all shame, feel not the degradation
of appealing to the public to support them.
1t would be hard to say which excites the
most disgust-the grasping avarice of the
mother, or the contemptiblel meanness OF
| the sons

Letters at the whitc House.
EsTABLIsHED AUGUsT, IsOs.


The mail of the President Is remarkable
one. About one hundred letters day are
received at the White House. addressed
either to Mr.. or Mrs. Garfield During the
carly stages of the Presidents illness the
letters were mostly to him. Now they are
generally addressed to Mrs. Garfield and cx-
press the writer's sympathy with her. Most
of them bear evidence of being written by
persons of inferior attainments, but at
the same time they testify to the
genuine sentiment of the people In their
distress. OF course these letters are opened
by Privat, Secretary Brown or his assist.
tants. OF late the letters have been of an
advisory kind. Very frequently they re-
i. commend the dismissal Of the present corps
of physicians and the adoption of treat
ment favored by the writer Many Of them
urge trial of homeopathy, others advise
the trial of magnetic influences as produced
by the laying on of hands. Some persons
send charms, others profess TO have dreams
S.eabout the President and tell exactly
how he can be cured. Holy water
is sent by Roman Catholics, with the ad-
vice that il q little of it be poured on the
wound that 1t will be Immediately healed,
and the efficacy of this cure is vouched for
from personal experience. The Spiritual
lists have found out great deal about the
case through some of their mysterious
U1ctnOuS, uuu Hihiiy VI tnc icttVic Oohc
from them. OF course quacks and pretend
crs are not lacking in this daily torrent of
advice, but most of the letters are evidently
. inspired by honest purpose. Long
and expensive cable messages are
sometimes received, and these are
couched in the same tone
of admonition and advice that chamc-
terizes similar documents coming from
people in this country. All sorts of medi-
cines, herbs aud salves, that are pronounced
infalible, form q part of. the daily cargo of
useless stuff sent to the White House. AT
any time tho President Of tho United States
is the recipient of many absurd letters, but
ut present their number is enormous. A let
ter received asks the President to have the
writer's pension increased, as his lungs
have now given away, in addition to his
former ills and an immediate reply is re-
quested. This much of the curious docu-
ment was dcciphered, but who the writer
is, or wherehe writesfrom, cannot be made
out, except that he lives in Illinois. Tenn
perance advocates appear in force, insisting
that whisky and other stimulants be
stopped and beef extract substituted. The
3 great majority of these letters drop easily
into the waste basket, but the most extra.
ordinary are kept as curiusitics tH-i+ 20

ouITEAu,s PUNISHMENT.
No Deviation From the strict Line
of the Law.


The Baltimore SIN this morning has the
following dispatch from Washington:
The grand jury of the District of Column
bia will meet on September 12. If the
President is dead at that time the facts con-
nected with the assassination will be laid
before that body, and Guiteau will be
promptly indicted for murder and as
speedily as possible thereafter be brought
to trial before the Criminal Court. Public
expectation is very general that in the event
Of the Presidents deccase justice will be
swiftly meted out to the criminal, but
enough is known to justify the assumption
that the laws delays will be interposed to
the utmost to postpone as long as possible
the merited punishment which must of
course sooner or later fall upon Guiteau.
From the nature of the case the trial of Gut
teau will take rank as cause celebre almost il
not quite unparalleled in the annals
of criminal Jurisprudence, and its various
stages will necessarily consume much more
time than has been anticipated by those,
constituting the large majority everywhere
who reason from impulse, only. 1t must be
remembered that the District of Columbia
is under the exclusive jurisdiction of the
United States and that the National Gov.
eminent Is alone responsible for the main
tenance Of order and the due enforcement
of law and justice. Despite the dark deed
