No Attempt TO Shoot Secretary

A CASARD C0NTRAnICrEp.
The yarn telegraphed from here 10 the effect
that after shooting the President Gatteaq
turned his pistol towards Secretary Blaine win
the evident purpose OF shooting him also, bUs
was prevented by Benson, formerly or tn
Ticket Agent Parke, Smith and Others who saw

A Fitting Memorial Of Gratitude.
Editor star:-Iu view OF the now hopeful
prospect OF the recovery CT the President, aud
the warm sympathies everywhere aroused,
which seek some proper outlet. / venture to
make the following as a suggestion, IN hopas
tnat, II lt meet the popula approval, it will be
eDampioned by some ADLER pen than mine:
lection OF the asse e~sination or Abraham Lfp-
coin, IN the establishment OF the Army MediclI
Museum on the spot where the crime was
comnttted now let US show our gratitude 20
Almighty COD for sparing our President from
the HANDS OF an assassin, our thankfuness that
the nation is Tree from the reproach OF having
fanatic rage, and our poonIe's OF OF
the cline, by building a memorial,
which shall attest not Only our own
feelings, but those OF all lovers OF MANKIND an
coed government who shall see MT 70 contribute
TO that end, by building hospital here for the
many suffering and distressed people congra-
gated In Washington from every state and from
eyely natiop. Many or the noOle5t work OF
this kind In Europe have been butt as evidences
OF gratitude for some great life spared or mercy
shoWnt 10 the nation or Individuals: why not
therefore, raise subscription which shall en-
COW general hospital, say the present depot
enlarged, (which must shortly be relinqushed).
where the sick and suffering shall fni refuge
and treatment, and on the same site where tue
crime was attempted; and which as a memorial
hospital shall stand for generations as a lesson
or gratitude and rebUke of crime. d.
