COPPER LIGHTNING ROD,
WITH SPIRAL FLANGEs

This Celebrated Lightning Conductor, owing to the
material of which 1t is made and the manner of its
construction, the most complete protection against
disaster by lightning ever invented. This is con-
clusively shown by practical test of over twenty
four years, during which time it has been n con-
slant use, being erected upon many thousands OF
private and public buildings, in all sections Of the
country and although there have fallen upon it, IL
numerous instances, most terrific discharges Of

them harmlessiy to the earth, thus saving many
lives, and property of almost incalculable value.

The Mother md the son.

St Louis Republican.
1t is seldom that the reportorial agents
of the press arc entirely unanimous in
regard to the most interesting feature
of a great public ceremonial; and this
rare unanimity is perhaps the most
noticeable, certainly the most sugges-
tive, pe~culiarityo the innumerable pen
pictures of the Inauguration. Await
ing the appointed hour, a brilliant au-
dience filled the senate chamber. On
the floor were the leaders of the two
great political parties, the chosen repre-
sentatives of every state and territory
in the republic, and mingled with them
distinguished gentlemen from near and
far; soldiers, statesmen, jurists, schol-
ars, whose names are household words,
and who have made and are making
the nations history. Gathered in the
place assigned them were the mem
bers of the diplomatic corps, in gor.
geous costumes glittering with gold
lace and decoration-the representa-
tives of all that is best in Christendom
and heathendom, from imperial Eng
land to imperial China. In the gal
leries the pick and flower of American
civilization; fair women and brave
men, the representatives of the culture
and the capital, the grace and the
energy, the refinement and the power

AT LAST.


Assassination OF the Gar or Russia.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg,
March 18th, gives the following: As
the Emperor was returning from parade
in Michel Manege, about 2 O'Clock,
Sunday afternoon, a bomb Vas thrown
and exploded under the Cars carriage,
doing considerable damage to the carri-
age. The Car alighted unhurt, but
a second bomb exploded at his feet,
SCATTERING both legs below the knee and
inficting other terrible injuries. The
Car was Immediately conveyed in an
unconscious state to the Winter Palace,
where he died at 4:30 this afternoon.
Two persons were concerned inthe crime;
one of whom was seized Immediately.
The explosion also killed an officer and
two ~cossacks; many policemen and
other persons were injured.
A st. Petersburgh correspondent says:
The Imperial carriage was attacked ON
Ekat Rinofsky canal opposite the impe-
rial stables. While the Emperor was
returning with the Grand Duke Michael
from Michael Palace, in a closed carri-
age, supported by eight ~cossacks, the
first bomb fell near the carriage, des-
troying the back part. The Car and
his brother alighted uninjured. The
assassin on being seized by the Colonel
of Police drew a revolver, but was pre-
vented from firing it. The second
bomb was then thrown by another per-
son, and fell close to the Cars feet, its
explosion SCATTERING both legs. The
Car fell, crying for help. Col. Dorjibki,
though himself much injured, raised the
emperor, who was conveyed to the
Winter Palace. in Colonel Dorjibki's
sleigh. Large crowds assembled before
the Palace but were kept back by troops
Of cossacks. The Imperial family were
a~llassembled at thedeath bed, the council
of state Immediately convened, and all
the places of public resort were closed.
Tho assassins were Immediately ar
rested. Gas lamps in Michael Garden
beside the canal were broken in pieces
by the conclusion. A Gordon of guards
was drawn around the scene of murder.
The streets were densely thronged with
excited crowds. The utmost sympathy
for theImperial family is everywhere ex-
pressed. Bells Of the principal churches
are tolling.
The doctors bulletin, published at
3 O'Clock in the afternoon, stated that
both legs were broken below the knee,
the lower part Of the body severely
injured and the left eye torn from the
socket. Grand Duke Michael was not
hurt. The assassins were disguised as
peasants. One report states that one
of them was so roughly handled that
he has since died. All the army officers
have been ordered to remain In bar
racks. The council of the empire, an
der the presidency of the czarowitch,
was still sitting at midnight. A mani
festo will be published on Monday, af-
forwards the new emperor will receive
homage of the officers of state. When
Col. Derjibki asked the first assassin his
name, he replied, Roussakoff.

RETIRING TO the violent death OF the
Gar, Gen. Grant said to a reporter,
Monday, he could not sec what the
people of Russia would gain by it.
Perhaps, he added, the fact that his
eldest son is a more moral man, may
have an influence for the better upon
the politics of the country. The Car
had been greatly harrassed by his sub
jects, and had, indeed, led a miserable
life; yet he seemed to have an interest
In his people, as was evidenced by his
freeing the scrfs. lie had for a number
of years, as the general knew, been will
ling to abdicate in favor of his son.
1t seems to me, said the general, if !
had been in his place 1 should have
taken such a step some time ago and
retired altogether from the management
Of affairs.

thief named Harry Gilmore, In front of
the Wabash avenue pavilion, last Sun

Bride names, w%hereupon Mcbride in
vited him outside to settle the matter
with their fists. When they started
out Gilmore was handed a pistol by the
bartender. When Simpson saw the
pistol in Gilmore's hand he tried TO
step the fight, and Mcbride said he had
no intention to fight unarmed against
Gilmore. The latter said he would not
let his adversary off SO easy, and level
ing a pistol over Simpsons shoulder,
sent a ball through McBride's temple,
killing him instantly. Simpson, the
owner Of the saloon and the bartender

her. At last she ICES him, the president.
elect of the United States, in front Of
the vice presidential desk. The with
cred face lights up, the lips tIemble,
and the tears start. What q tide OF
feeling must have swept through that
mothers heart at sight Of her SON. How
memory must haYe carried her back to
those dismal days of poverty and
wretchedness, when the son put into
the mothers hands the first earnings,
and when neither be nor she could look
forward to anything better than a life
of obscurity and toll. An hour later,
memory was busy again. for the inau-
gural address was ended, the inaugu-
raj oath taken, and her cheek felt the
hlial kiss of gratitude and congratula-
ton.
Is it any wonder that even case-har-
dened reporters were touched by this
incident, SC natural and yet 30 unusual?
1t was worth to them and to all who
read their descriptions, all the rest of
the days performance. Mrs. Garfield
is the only mother who has witnessed a
sons Inauguration; if we may believe
what is said by those who know her
best, no mother was ever more worthy
to have that proud pleasure. Not a
brilliant woman, not a highly educated
woman, perhaps not what would be
called a refined woman, but a good
woman, nevertheless woman,
"Nobly planned.
To warn, to comfort, TO command"
1t is said that her son strongly resem-
bles her in face, and that whatever in
tellectual ability he possesses GENES
from the maternal side. But be this as
it may, he has more than once declared
that to his mother he owes everything
that but for her courage, perseverance,
clear sighted judgment, recognition and
stimulation of his ~caprices, he would in
all probability never have risen above
the humble station in which he was
born. In his opinion it was the mother
III him and with him that lifted the
wood choppers apprentice to the chief
magistracy of the irst republic in the
world. Such a woman, such a mother,
deserves to see what Mrs. Garfield saw
on the 4th Of March, 1881.
