mad at him, but, by Jove, sir, she
listened to him FIVE minutes and
became so convinced that she

General G. w. Gordon, ex-confederate,
in his address in memory OF Garfield at the Circuit
Court at Memphis. said: "While his steps were in
the dust, his eyes were on the stars. By courage,
toll, talent, integrity and sobrety he fought his
way, single-handed and alone, from the hoyel to
the White House. By these instrumentalitles he
passed from the humblest to the highest station,
not only In his own country, but, submit, to the
most noble, exalted, and enviable position to-day
held by any citizen OF the world. And, although
he ascended from level so low to an eminence
so high, il did not dazzle him nor lessen his hui
mlllty. lie was one Of the few men of the worlds

versity strengthens. / had rather possess the
emotion, the culture, the oratory, and the genius
of Garfield than all the blood stained laures thnt

kings NIL the Jewels that ever Hannibal str pped
from the froZ,n ingers of his slaughtered knights.
The wisdom, moderation, ana reform foreshadowed
| in his brief ADMINISTRATION were daily widening
his influence and popularity, especially with the

DIR. Bliss.

The report of DIR. Bliss on the Presi-
dents case, published in a medical jour
nal, is strong, and will not be easily
brushed asidp. Could the diagnosis have
been correctly made? Was the wound
such one us could be probed, or its
course definitely ascertained in any way?
Was the wound mortal? Could life have
been prolonged by any different treat
ment? These are questions which the
Doctor confidG ntly propounds TO the
medical world. Erasmus told the Pope
that he had better answer Martin Luther
than excommunicate him. Perhaps the
same suggestion will apply in the
case of DIR. Bliss. For our own
part, we believe he was legitimately en-
ployed that he ad case in which science
necessarily groTed in the dark to treat a
wound that perhaps could not he traced
by the utmoft skill that he devoted
himself like hero TO the patient, cheer
ing and encouraging all around him,
