A TRIBUTE FROM A POLITICAL OPPONENT.
Mr.. Hurd, of Ohio, one Of the brightest
est men in Congress, and regarded as leader
on the Democratic side, relates the following
story, which is one of the handsomest compli.
ments yet paid to Mr.. Garfield, and one also
that does much credit to Mr.. Hurd, for it is
not every man who would have told it and
thus to certain extent have deprived him
self of the laurels won in response that many
believed to be impromptu, and which at the
time gave Mr.. Hurd the reputation of being
one of the most brilliant orators and best
posted men in Congress. Said Mr. Hurt
ut happened once that Ia young mem.
ber--was called upon to close on the Demo
cratic side debate which Mr.. Garfield was
to close the next morning on behalf OF the
Republicans. I felt the responsibility 1 was
extremely anxious to make reply which
would do credit to myself and not disgrace
nv party and I went to Garfield that night
and pointed out my dilemma. I did not feel
equal to the occasion of making an impromp.
tu response to a speech which he was fully
prepared to make. Like the man that he
is-like brother, l may say-he told me
what he was going to say, the whole line of
his argument, and thus gave me the benefit OF
"a hours study in which to reply to him"
There are very few men in Congress who
would have done as Mr.. Garfield did in this
case, and very few men who would have told
it as Mr.. Hurd has done. The deed honors
one, the recital the other.

A Mothers LovE.-Under the head Of
"The Baby President" we find the following
without credit:
There is nobody that did not understand
that grief stricken old lady, the mother of
the President, when she said How could
anybody be so cold.hearted as to attempt to
kill my baby :" Her baby The chief mag
nate Of fifty millions of people. Her baby |!
The graDdest figure before the world, the full
armed type of American manhood, physical.
ly and intellectually the superior of any ruler
of any people on the earth. And yet to her
he was not the representative of the people
in Congress, not the Senator from Ohio, not
even the President Of the United States, in
all his dignities and honors; he was her baby
still. How in that the mother spoke. Hon
ors, titles, Offices, were nothing. His first
claim to her consideration was the fact that
he was her baby, and she could no more COM
prehend enmity to him as President than In
jury to him as a child.
"How wonderful, how inexplicable is a
mothers love We1call it instinct, but it is
the link that binds the world together. Cp-
posed, the shrinking woman becomes tigress,
and dies for her offspring rather than desert
it. Over disgrace, over crime, over home st.
fections and over all other ties, it rides and
rules, defying fate and scorning death: 1t
was the art of master that made Lady Mac.
beth say:
I have given suck, and know
How tender it's to love the babe that milks me-
"Before this sorrowing old lady the world
stands uncovered in reverence, in sympathy
and in tears. We had not thought of him as
ever anybody's baby, but be was and is, and
there is GRIFFIN that fond old mothers heart
snrnassinp all that the nation feels"
