IN THE GRAVE!

Yesterday the remains of James
A. Garfield were laid in the grave.
For weeks past we have stood around
his sick bed and carefully and anx-
iously watched the progress of his
terrible affection. Our hopes have
been ruthlessly dashed to the earth,
and we have seen him yield to the
inexorable demand of the great
King of Terrors!
And now the hands of affection
have tenderly borne him to the
opengrave, where he peacefully
sleeps, while his millions of Chris
tan friends find sweet consolation
in the anticipation OF a glorious res
surrection.
After life's fitful fever, he sleeps we'll;
Treason has done his worst; nor steel
nor poison,
Malice domestic, foreign levy, nothing
Can touch him further!
The gloom Of consuming sorrow
darkens every household, as we mourn
over the death of one who was near
and dear to every American heart.
4 brilliant career-unhnished in it's
mission, vet marvellous in its achieve
ments-has been brought to a close.
But his memory is immortal. The
sriumphs of his genius, the grand
victory over poverty and obscurity'
his gallant record as the
chiyalrous defender Of his
country's flag, his soul-stirring
eloquence which sometimes appeared
like inspiration, his craftsmanship
which was broad and comprehensive
as the land we love, his great insight
and learning which gave him such s
grasp on all public questions, the
victories he had won aud others that
were unfolding in promise-all these
things will live to cheer and purify
the American heart.
There has been no sadder day il
the history of the nation. The sol
row is something felt but cannot bs
told. Tears have flowed and heart
are ready to break with weight o
woe. But we do not mourn without
consolation. He died as he ha'
lived, blessed with the Christian
faith and the Christians hope! The
grave was robbed of its sting an
death was swallowed up in victory
and we can sing:
Thou art gone TO the grave We will NJ
deplore thee,
Through darkness and sorrow encompa
the tomb,
Thy Saviour hath passed through it's POI
tails before thee,
And since He hath lain there we drea
not its gloom.
There was something inexpress
bly, beautiful in the spectacle whic
greeted the eyes of the world yeste
day No sublimer scene was ever be
held. Fifty millions Of people move
by common sorrow. bearing col
mon burden of grief, bowed before
common altar and mingling the
tears together, engaged in earne
devotion 10 the Great Creator of ii
universe, who alone could give the
aid. This national recognition
the Supreme Ruler of the univer
was the most fitting memorial
honor of the illustrious dead tn
could have been devised, and, if
were possible, as we believe it is, +

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.

The morning service at the First Baptist
Church Sunday attracted an unusually large
attendance, the occasion being discourse
ON the subject, death Of PresidentGar-
field " by the talented and eloquent pastor,
Rev. G. 81. Strickland, D. D. The church
was appropriately draped in mourning,
and everything wore solemn and impressive
air. The music, selected and rendered by
the excellent choir, was very appropriate to
the occasion. DR.. Strickland took for the
foundation of his remarks the 9th Psalm,
which commences, "The Lord reigneth, p"
&c. The discourse was eloquent and appropri-
ate, and created profound impression upon
the congregation. A coincidence somewhat
remarkable was noticed by those in atten-
| dance at both services. That was that Mr..
E. E. McCroskey, superintendent of the
Sunday school of that church, had selected
| for the basis of the lesson of the morning,
the same chapter selected by DR.. Strickland.
This was done too without any understand
ing beforehand.

SUNDAY SERVICES,

In Memory of the Late President Garfield
Special services were held last Sabbath in
a number of the Knoxville churches. The
country and the immediate family of the
deceased President were remembered in the
fervsnt prayers of the people, and the pas
tors delivered discourses appropriate to the
OCCASION
FIRST NJ. =. CHURCH.
The services at this church were singu-
larly appropriate, and very beautiful
and impressive. The exercises were
opened with an organ voluntary g Garfield
Funeral March" beautifully rendered by
Mrs. G. w. Searle, the accomplished or
ganist Of that church. This was followed
by singing, Gathering Home" by the
choir, consisting of Mrs. Prof. Marshall
and Miss Fannie Hudiburg, sopranos, Miss
Ella Ingersoll alto, Mr.. G. w. Searle, tenor
Messrs E. C. Avis and Edward Barker,
basso. The pastor, Rev. G. B. Sparrow,
then announced that beautiful hymn be-
ginning
"Jesus while our hearts are bleeding.
The singing of which was followed by an
earnest, soul-stirring prayer. Then
how sleep the DIaVe VINO SILK 10 rest
was sung by the choir, and tears were
brought to the eyes of the large congrega-
ton The pastor took for his text part
of the 5th and the 9Th and 7th verses of
Rcclesiastes, and delivered an eloquent and
impressive discourse which occupied three
quarters of an hour in its delivery He
gave brief sketch of Gar6eld's life, and
drew Wholesome lessons from his illustrious
example. The speaker was calm and dis
passionate and the discourse emf
nently practical. He was listened
to by his large congregation with breathless
attention. At the close, after prayer had
again been offered, "Jesus Lover of My
Soul" was sung by the choir and congrega
ton, after which peacefully sleep" wa:
beautifully rendered as quartette, and thu
congregation was dismissed with the bene
} diction. We failed to mention in thu
proper place, that while the usual collection
was being taken up, a voluntary, " Els
; worth's Funeral March" was very effective
, ly rendered by the organist, Mrs. Searles
The services were simple, but none the les
impressive. The organ and the front of tn
, pulpit were tastefully draped in mourning.

The chapel of the Second Presbyterian
Church was filed to overlooking Sabbath
morning to listen to discourse from the
able and eloquent pastor, Rev. F. E.

The Profit of the Revision.

The question has been asked again
and again: Where do the profits of sales
of the revised New Testament gop There
is no Bible Society or Missionary Asso-
citation to profit thereby, but after pay
ing expenses, which by the English Com
mittee are given as 100000 for work
thus far done on both Testaments, all
other profits go to the University Press
publishers, who at the outset in lieu OF
the copyright guaranteed all expenses to
the revisers there. The American Com
mittee, however, do not receive and will
not get one cent. Their expenses, not
for labor, but for travel, correspondence,
stationery, ETC., have been paid by pri-
vate subscriptions up to this time. The
profits must be very great if the Oxford
publishers have already sold, as report
ed, 1000, 900 copies. But this number
includes the 500, 900 sent to this country.
The different styles are sold cheaper in
the United States than they are in Eng
lard, Canada and the colonies, because
of the lack of international copyright
here. For example, the very popular
twenty-cent edition sold here in New
York sells in London and Quebec fol
twenty-five or thirty cents, and the high.
er-priced copies are proportionally in
creased.-N. Y. Herald.

Chinese Beds.

There are two kinds of Chinese beds,
and both are arranged for a complete
shutting in by means of hanging cur
tains and tapestry. The expensive
kind is like sort of cage, having a flat
wooden roof just the size of the bed
proper, supported at height of eight
feet from the floor on four corner posts
and two intermediate ones. Then there
is sort of frieze or entablature work
running around horizontally above and
below, so that when you are in bed you
are safely penned in sort of cage and
cannot possibly tumble out. The cary
ing on these beds is sometimes very
rich and they cost much; but the Or
binary and cheaper kind is made of two
frames of wood shaped something like
an old-fashioned "settlen which are
stood upon the floor facing each other.
A mattress is placed on the projecting
parts of these frames and q couple of
Slight sticks across the top; then cur
tains and hangings shut all in and make
it look as pretty as the taste and money
of the owner are able. Inside there is
q cotton quilt laid on the mattress
frame. The occupant of the bed lies on
this, having little roll of stuff for the
head and for covering very thieb
cotton quilt.

When to Use Gestures.

A writer in the Golden RaGle rebukes
the tendency to a gushing and overtime
style in literature as we'll as in oratory,
and emphasizes useful hint as follows:
A young lady in France, placed under
the tuition of 1--WE think) Madame
Clarion, was constantly offending her
teacher by excessive action with her
arms. She was in the habit of fiinging
them about in supererogatory way
which tore passion to tatters, Gin Ercles
vein"
After many admonitions, the lady re-
solved to tie her pupils hands to her
sides with a piece of string.
"Now," said the girl, 81 can't move
them at ALI"
eco on with you part, j" kindly replied
the other, smiling.
And 90 on she did, with elocution all
the better for action the less. At last,
on reaching the climax OF her part, her
excitement nerved her little wrists, she
burst the strings and, las your charwoman
would phrase it, she gestulated" with
GREAT vehemence. When it was over,
She apologized, with tears in her eyes,
SAVING she really "could not help it. ="
To her surprise, her instructress praised
her action this time.
"That, mon entant, is what we want.
Reserve your vehement displays of feel
ing till you can not help making them,
and they will be both appropriate and
successful"
Surely the lesson is large one. Quiet
energy, with readiness to strike the iron
when (but not before) it is hot, 10 the

4 FLOWER FANCY.

Some flowers are like faces of friends that
died;
This lily, that's pure as a flower can be,
Sets sail a thought on memory's tide;
And down from the past it drifts to me,
A thought of a face with alily's grace,
In it's pure, white beauty of youth. All me
Where it used to be there's a vacant place,
And the face like lily no more see.
Here is a rose | am thinking now
OF face as sweet in the days gone by,
With the sun of life's June on its cheek and
brow,
And its light in the depth of it's loving eye
Oh beautiful face, shall not forget;
see you again in the roses here,
And think, while my eyes grow dim and wet
The happy dead do not need tear
catch the odor of Mignonette,
And a face from the fragrance looks at me; ;
Oh dear old friend, remember yet
The faithful face I'd be glad to see;
Though it lacked the beauty that Others wear,
A heart right royal beneath it beat
And, shining through, made the features fair;
Dear, plain little flower, you are wondrous
sweet
And here is violet fair and shy,
With the spell of the spring time captive
In its yellow heart, and think, with sigh
For the sweetest blossom of all the year,
OF face like the flower, with violet eyes,
And hair a-tangle on neck and brow;
Away on the hillside of Paradise
The face like violet's shining now.
And here is a snow drop, dainty and white,
A delicate creature of frost and air;
A face looks out of the flower to might,
The face of a child that is strangely fair;
And l think with tears of the babe whose
years
Were only two when she went away;
Oh, the flower that the angels took from me,
Fair in the Garden of God to day

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Toledo has a skewer factory which

Tobacco smoke contains about eight
millilitres of carbonic oxide per 100

"A Cincinnati paper says that there

An immense galvanic battery, con-

DIR. William James, the Harvard
Professor and brother of Henry James,
Jr., has been giving practical talks to
the students on physiology and hygiene.
As to the vexed question whether alco-
hol is food or not, the Professor thinks
that it takes the place of food by tenn
porarlly reducing the normal demand
for it, but that "this effect is not de-
sirable or consistent with perfect
health.
"A special committee of the English
Institution of Mechanical Engineers have
set forth the following explanation OF the
hardening of steel: Referring to the
generally held opinion that ordinary
steel contains a certain proportion of &C.
cluded gases consisting of hydrogen, nj
trogen, and carbonic oxide, they suggest
that the application of heat expels these
gases through minute assures, and that
sudden cooling shuts the door, so to
speak, TO the re-entrance of these gases,
and perhaps forces out what of them
may remain in the metal, thus render
ing it harder and denser than before.
When the metal is reheated the gases
are reabsorbed, and the various changes
it undergoes in consequence are indicat-
ed by variations in color.
The Agricultural Department has
received samples of jute fibre prepared
by American machinery. from green
stems grown in Virginia. 1t satisfacto-
rily solves the problem that has engaged
the attention of the Department for over
ten years. The fibre is largely used in
the manufacture of gunnybags, paper,
ropes, carpets, bagging, and oilcloths.
1t will be impossible to glut the market
with it, as its use is so diversified and
essential. The plant can be successfully
grown in any section south of New York.
For several years it has been raised in
the Carolinas, Georgia, and Virginia. To
clean and prepare the fibre by hand for
market is Shiny and proftless business,
and the American laborer in this work
could not compete with the women, chill
dren, and other cheap labor of the East
Indies. A machine to do the work was
essential to make the cultivation of jute
a success on American soil. The Com
missioner is satisfied that such a machine
has been invented.
