THE Pr Es1DENr,s WIDOW.

RESIGNED UNDER HER GREAT AFFL1CTION.
WASHINGTON, Sept 22-Since her arrival
Mrs Garfield has stopped at the residence Of
Attorney General MacVeagh. Although
suffering a most intense agony
of grief, she has, with her
accustomed self-control and self-denial, given
her attention to hundred little duties that
have demanded her attention and kindly re-
ceived the many sympathizing friends who
have called upon her. About o'clock this
morning she went to the White House
to attend to the packing of some personal
effects and, as she herself says, to look again
upon the room where the late president had so
long lain i'll. Marshal Henry was with her
portion of the time, and with him, she had
long conference regarding the arrangement Of
affairs. Mrs. Garfield remained at the White
House several hours to-day, and during that
ii time all the personal property Of
papers, were packed and addressed
to the old home at Mentor. During the prog
ress of these preparations, Mrs. Garfield
showed that she had taken upon herself a task
by no means easy She conld hardly turn her
hand hand to secure an article Of clothing.
she was not reminded Of the
strong hand that had so lately touched them

the woman, and she
COVERED HER FACE AND wEpT.
Atlength the work of packing and arranging
was over, and to Capt Henry she expressed
desire to visit tih6 room which the president
had occupied during his illness. As she en-
tered it her eyes fell upon the familiar
scene. The furniture was the same There
stood tho arm chair in which she had sat dur
ing many night of weary watching, holding
the hand that she felt growing daily thin
ner under the demand Of the dread
DESTROYER. To the right stood the
cot upon which the weary nurses and OFT times
the physicians upon anxious nights stretched
themselves for an hours repose. But above
all these reminders rose the bed upon
which Gen. Garfield had spent ton
weeks Of suffering and slow death. The snowy
Counterpart was unruf1ed, its pillows I'M
pressed, but against one Of them some kindly
hand had placed q life-sized portrait
of President Garfield draped in deep mourn

days Of his administration. The broad shout

noble brow. all were there; and
as the stricken wife entered the doorway the
kindly eyes looked out ut her with the old time
expression. Startled for a moment, the
tears gathered in. her eyes ard
she threw herself on her knees
and buried her face in the bed Mrs Garfield
at Elberon looked for the last time on her hus
bands face, and this afternoon the casket was
sealed by the undertaken to remain forever

Al dayoreaK laDorIng men Win the implements
Of their trade in hand looked upon the
coffin. After early breakfast the rush began
and it continued al day. The sun poured down
with its relentless heat, but it could not dis
perse these thousands who had gathered to
pay the last token Of
RESPECT TO THE DEAD.
The line formed outside the capitol was fully
quarter Of . mile long It began at the
juncture.of East Capitol street with the capitol
grounds. passed west through the main drive
way to the concrete boulevard directly in front
Of the building, swung southerly to the senate
wing. turned sharply to the north again, moved
up to the statute Of Washington, which stands in
front of the entrance to the rotunda, made
broad curve, moved southerly again to the
senate front, and swung sharply once more to
the north, then up the steps, then into the cap
itoL This procession resembled huge SER
pent with it's head on the capitol stairs and
its tail stretching out beyond the long folds of
the body to East Capitol street The line ar
ranged itself in this fashion to keep within the
limits Of the capitol grounds. Had it been
stretched out it would have extended at least
half mile east Of the capitol The people in
some parts of the line were four abreast, and
and in others two abreast They moved at an
ordinary pace. There were men, women
aud children, black and white, of all
ages and conditions The city swell marched
side by side with the Virginia negro. Finely
attired ladies did not disdain to march by the
side of women clad in rags. The majority Of
the people in line were from the country
Every train that arrived, from the south, west
and east was crowded, and specials were run
from interior points. The procession was

turbances. When the portico leading to the
rotunda was reached every man and boy in line
lifted his hat
AT THE CATAFALQUE
the members of the guard of honor assisted
the people to obtain good view Of the dead
president and preserved order. The features
Of the dead were even more repulsive in APP
pearance than yesterday. Decomposition,
which set in soon after the autopsy was per-
formed, was not prevented by the embalming
liberal sprinkling of powder over the face
this morning could not conceal the marks Of
decomposition. The face was of dusk, hue,
sprinkled with black and yellow spots. The
air-tight casket prevented the escape of dis
agreeable odors. At 6 o'clock this
evening the casket was closed BY
the undertakers. This action met with
general approval. No one would have been
been able to recognize the features of Gen.
Garfield living in the features of the dead
There was no abatement in the crowd, how
ever. They poured in by the thousands, as
eager to gaze upon the coffin as they had pre-
viously been to look upon the face Of the dead.
Floral decorations were scattered about the
coffin and placed upon the floor of the rotun-
d. On the foot of the coffin rested an i'm
mense wreath of white rosebuds. Attached
to it was card, bearing the following inscrip-
ton:
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1881-09-29
QUEEN vICTORIA-TO THE MEMORY OF
PRESIDENT GARFIELD.
An expression of her sorrow and sympathy with
Mrs Garfield and the American nation.

The wreath was placed upon the casket BY
Mr. HIT, assistant secretary of state. It was
prepared by telegraphic directions of the
queen at the British legation. One of the most
beautiful of the decorations was {. piece pre-
pared at the White House conservatory repre-
senting the 'sgates ajar." 1t stood on the floor
near the head of the coffin Tonight the cap
.itol is again brilliantly lighted, and crowds Of
people are continually passing the coffin.
Washington contains population Of 17O, 900,
and there is scarcely thousand people here
who have not looked upon the body.

Staunton, Va, May 3l.-At the Opening
of the Mining Institute this morning, Profess
sor Egeston read paper on the Knob cop
per process of mining. TINS Knob company,
are ia North Carolina. TIE ore consists OF
pheirpo.ine, mixed with chotcopyrites ana
quartz in variable proportions. An inter-
esting account of the process OF reducing ore
was given. In connection with this subject
the professor delivered an interesting lecture
on the properties and use Of copper and
improved methods of production. He said
tina. the great worth in copper lay dormant
in the south, which Improperly worked weuld
be as profitable ss Lake copper
Major Hatchkiss, Of Virginia,
thanked Prof. Egles,op for drawing attention
TO the copper deposits in the South. There
are few persons, he said, aware of the great
W, slth in this mineral, with which this state
abounds. Forty years ago Richard lay lor
made explorations and reported on this
class of ore. The only difficulty in Its devel-
epment was lack Of transportation tsc!l,
itiea. Thst objection does not row exist, and
this industry msy be expectea
to bo soon coming prominently
to the front. P5pers were also read by
f. S. WilInins, of st. Louis. on the Valuma'
ter method of estimating manganese in pig

tions on the dome of ores of the upper James
river. This WAS followed by Ma. Hotchkiss,
in description of topography and geology
of the Virginia valley, together with
