THIS is from an Ono paper, and is
too good to pass without re-publica-
ton. 1t is an extract from a letter
written by Mrs. Garfield ten years
ago to her husband, now President
Garfield. The letter was handed to
the editor by Mr.. Hindale, who is
president of literary institution in
Ohio. Mrs. Garfield says: Il am
glad to tell that, out of all the toll
and disappointments of the summer
Just ended, have risen up to a vic
tory; that the silence of thought
since you have been away has won for
my spirit triumph. / read some
thing like this the other day: There
is no healthy thought without labor,
and thought makes the laborer hap
Ipy.' Perhaps this is the way 1 have
been able to climb up higher. 1t came
t6 me one morning when I was max
ing bread. ] san, to myself: Here
1 am. compelled by an ine-'table ne
cessity to make our bread ihis sum
mer. Why not consider it pleasant
occupation and make it so by trying
to see what perfect bread can make :
1t seemed like an inspiration and the
whole of life grew brighter The
very sunshine seemed flowing down
through my spirit into the white
loaves, and now 1 believe my table is
furnished with better bread than ever
before"

WASHINGTON CITY was excited over
the action of President Garfield last
Thursday. The cause of the excite
ment is the action of the President
in regard to certain appointments in
New York State. Among the num-
Der of appointments made, and which
required the confirmation of the
United States Senate, was that of
Judge Robertson for the Office of
Collector Of New York. 1t is consid-
cred that the Judge is Garfield man
not that the others are not Gar
field men, but that they are more
Conkling than Garfield men For
some reason or other Senate caucus
of the Republican members 50 shaped
things that il became understood
that Robertson should not be con-
6rmed in his nomination this ses-
sion. When President Garfield heard
Of that purpose of the Senators he
sent to the Senate and recalled all of
the nominations for New York ex-
cepting that OF the Judge The
nominees recalled are Conkling' 3
friends. The President allows his
own nomination to stand. 1t is a
crisis wherein the exercise OF sound
judgment is needed to prevent rup-
ture with the President Garfield
has always been a strict Republican,
not for offices sake, but because his
mind and heart approves OF the prin-
ciples that underie the political sys-
ton of the Northern States, and
therefore be is strong with the mass
OF the party, and it will prove diff
fcult thing to belittle him because
be desires to exercise certain prerog-
atJvss
