Canadian Knights at q Discount.

The following notes upon Canadian
knights arc from the New York World.
They are interesting; @The Canadian
aristocrats are not to be etvied. They find
that their countrymen deride their titles,
and they would quietly drop if they could,
but respect for her majesty forbidsit. One
knight, having kept a drug store in the early
days, is irreverently called Sir Bolus;' q
second is dubbed Sir Mackerel,' because
he earned the honor at the Halifax fishery
commission; and third is styled Sir
Busted inasmuch as he was the president
of bank which went down in the last
panic. In the Dominion knighthood not
only exposes the wearer to scorn, but does
not shield him from public insult. as is
shown by a scene at Nanaimo, B. G., be-
tween Sir Charles Upper, Dominion min
lister of railways, and Mr.. Bunster, NJ. 2.
for that district. The British Columbians
are singularly democratic people.
Most Of them are Indians and Chinese,
while the white minority are chiefly grad
yates of the Californian mining camps and
faro banks. Mr.. Bunster wants the gov
eminent to build a railroad from the main
land of British Columbia to Vancouver's
Island, project about as feasible as the
construction of road from Nantucket to
the west coast Of Cork, This Sir Charles
refuses to do, and so Mr.. Bunster first re.
ceives him as a guest Of the town, and then
publicly falls upon and rends him. 1t was
evidently mistake for the dominion gov
eminent to send knight as its ambassador
to the British Columbians. Sir James
Douglas, an old Hudson Bay man and gov
ernor of that colony before its admission
into the Canadian confederation, used to
say that he always 1offed the Sir before he
went abroad among his mote]y subjects,
and that the secret of his successful states
manship lay in his capacity for holding
strong drink and his more than Schenkian
expertness at poker"

BnrnSide After Fredericksburg.

Nathaniel Page in the New York Tribune.
After the defeat and retreat of the
army across the river. I was sitting late
at night in an old house in Falmouth writing
my account of the battle by the light of a
tailow candle, when, to my surprise, I saw
General Burnside enter the room. He
looked like man stunned and dazed.
Obllvious of my presence he threw himself
upon big, old-fashioned bed, which, beside
the table on which was writing, was the
only piece of furniture in the room, and
exclaimed. "My God, what have done!
What /, dreadful calamity! What terrible
sacrifice of life for no good" For some
minutes he continued to groan and lamen
the disaster in broken calculations.
After awhile he became calmer and
seemed to gradually realize where he
was. Suddenly he rose from the bed
and walked out of the room without
noticing me. I never mentioned to him
his strange nocturnal visit to my quar-
tsrs, and Of course said nothing of it in
my correspondence. He was no doubt
half. crazed by grief over the defeat at the
time, but by the next morning he had re-
gained his soldierly dignity and calm.
Morris tribune., 1881-10-06
Some Words From DIR. Bliss.

New YORK, Sept 3O.-Dr. W. W. Bliss. who
ls preparing his report on President Garfield's
case for the medical record at the house of r.
Brady of this city, saii this evening that he
had no doubt the medical profession would be
satisfied from his report that the treatment
could not have been different from what it had
been. The presidents wound was mortal,
said he: Any attempt to remove the ball was
by cutting the abdomen, lifting the stomach
and searching for it, or we might
have cut through the back, sawed
througha rib, or done something else equally
futile, as we did not know where the ball was
1t would have been plain that the ball was en-
cysted, go it was not an important factor Again
even if no particles of bone had been carried
forward into the soft parts of the body, the in
jury to the vertebra would have produced fatal
resuts as rotten pieces of the bone parenthexs
would have resulted, and this distracted pro-
cesses attending it would have entered to the
spinal cord, producing paralysis with all it's at
tending evils. And then if the president had
survived sufficiently long an abseess would
have resulted. If the ball had been removed
promptly without serious surgical interference
death would have resulted In the light of the
autopsy it was fortunate that no serious attempt
was made to extract the ball, for by the con-
servative course pursued the greatest comfort
was secured for the president and his life pre-
served the longest possible period. As for
determining the course of the ball, DR.. Wales
and myself both tested it at first with the fin
ger, but were stopped by the broken rib. In
conclusion he said: sT am perfectly satisfied
with the treatment of the presidents wound,
and believe the profession will admit, when
the report is made, that the wound was mortal
It was only question of time when the pres
dent would die.n

Texarkana lies partly within Arkansas
and partly within Texas, with broad street
marking the boundary. 1t has two Mayors,
and the state laws governing on one side
have NO binding force on the other. Ar
kansas made severe enactment against
the free sale of firearms, whereupon the
hardware merchants moved their stores to
the other side of the street, thus going into
Texas. where the sale of revolvers, like
their use, is free. The Arkansas Mayor
issued PROCLAMATION against the sale of
liquors on Sunday, greatly to the advantage
of the saloonmenin Texas, until the venders
on the other side moved over and regained
their customers.
A case of Sunday desecration was brought
last week against the superintendent of
bath house in indianapolis, and dismissed.
The Judge held that circumstances made
the opening of the bath house on Sunday
necessity, and that, therefore, it was not an
offence. 1t is the only cheap bath house
in the city, and there are great many poor
people whose work demands their attention
until late hour Saturday evening, and who,
if the place were not open, would be de-
prived of luxury that is essential to good
health.

STRANGULATUS PRO REPUBLICA.
The Words Written by the President In

The Words Written by the President In
stead of His Signature.
Letter from Washington.
Among those who stood on the platform
at the railway station waiting for the funer-
al train was Steward Crump, the faithful
attendant on President Garfield until he
himself was laid on bed of sickness u
sufferer from an attack of nervous prostra-
ton, not malaria, as he emphatically il
formed me. asked him something of
the presidents illness, and especially
as to the illusions under which he
was reported to be delirious. 1t will be
recollected that it was denied that the pres
ident had any delusions, but Mr.. Crump
tells different story. He says that the
mental wandering of the president was not
confined to the moments jus. after awaken
ing from sleep. He said the lldsions came
on at all times. As an illustration of this
he said that one day after the president
had lain silent long time he said:
"Crump, what are those men doing
there?"
There are no men here, Mr.. President"
responded Crump.
Certainly there are," insisted the presi-
dent, "and you must tell them, Crump
that I cannot see them day. Tell them
to go away"
Mr.. Crump could not convince him that
he was laboring under a delusion, and
therefore he rose and said:
Gentlemen, the president cannot see
you day. You must 60 away now.
The president thanked him, and then
an1ieusly inquired if he had hurt the feel
ings of his imaginary intruders. At an
other time he was choking from an accumu
lation of phlegm, and insisted that some one
had him by the throat, nor
would he be satisfied until Crump had
beaten off the assailant. 1t is i'm
probable that the president did not realize
the extreme danger of the situation. To-
day heard very interesting and some
what startling confirmation of this. It will
be recollected that it was announced that
the president had signed his name one day,
simply to test his nerves. 1t was before he
wrote the letter to his mother. The sigma
ture was said to have been good, but the
fact was concealed that the sick man wrote
something else of very significant charac-
ter. He took the pen from the doctor, and,
thinking awhile, wrote these words:
"Strangulatus Pro Repubhca-" (Stran-
gled for the Republic).
