CINCINNATI, October 2.-Rev. Isaac
Errett, who delivered the funeral ora
ton over President Garfield at Cleve.
land, addressed large audience to-
day at the Richmond Street Christian
Church upon the death of the late
President. He said much anxiety had
| been expressed to hear something from
the death-bed of President Garfield,
some last words that would re-affirm
the faith and conviction Of his life.
Comment had been made, too, upon
the absence of religious talk or minis
tration beside the dying President.
The speaker thought too much atten-
ton was given to mere death-bed de-
clarations. Far better than any death
bed testimony is the grand life of Jas.
A. Garfield. Through the caution of
the Presidents physicians no risk was
permitted, and he died without any
formal farewell message or testimony.
But it is known that at the beginning
he asked to hear the worst, saying,
"you know am not afraid of DEATH
We know, too, that when the Lords
day came he said to his attendants,
"This is the Lords day; l have great
reasons for it," 1t may not be known
that one Sabbath at Elberon, where
he lay with the sea rolling before his
window and heard from the chapel near
by the hymn:
Jesus, lover of my SOUL"
He recognized it and quoted the words,
Let me to thy bosom fly,
While the waters nearer roll,
While the tempest still is high
To those who believe in the efficacy
of human priesthood there must be
regret that President Garfield had none
of these ministrations. But the Presi-
dent himself did not feel such need nor
do we. 1t would have been comforting
to those living to have had his pastor
beside him at last, but we know that
James A. Garfield was himself royal
priest OF God, by virtue of his amounting
as a Christian and needed none save
the one mediator between God and
man to intercede for him with the
father.

One Benefit Of a Superstition.

The Chinese believe that the
falling of any shadow over an an-
cestor's grave is an insult offered
to that ancestor; and, strange as it
may seem, this belief is likely TO
preserve the empire from nut
sapce which it will take US years
TO get rid of. The dead of a large
territory not being collected in
any particular spot, but every fam.
lily having its own graveyard, the
telegraph companies who have re-
ceived charters to construct lines
find IL exceedingly difficult to
place their poles where they will
not cast q shadow over somebody's
great grandfather or mother.in-
law. At first, ignorant Of the be-
lief of the people on this subj cot,
they undertook to put up their
poles along the highways without
regard to graveyards. Since then
they have learned better; for,
wherever the Chinaman found q
black streak across any grave, he
did not walt for the officials to
come along and right the matter,
but proceeded to lay the poles low
regardless of consequences. This
sort of thing grew rather monot'
onous for the telegraph people, and
now they bury their wires beneath
the surface. China will, therefore
have the first complete under
ground telegraph system In the
world.

"A Widow Hunt. +"

A One audience gathered in Turn
Verein Hall last night to witness
the first representation of "a
Widow Hunt" by the Owl Ora
matte Club. This b rilliant COM
edy, under the name of "Every.
body's Friend" has been a favor
lite one on this Coast since its first
rendition, about twenty years ago,
by the genial and gifted Perry. 1t
bristles with points, is full of inno.
cent fun, and conveys q moral that
might we'll be needed In many u
household.
The Owl Dramatic Club has ar.
rived at a stage Of proficiency in
their art that exceeds that ofmaDy
travelling combinations with high
sounding names, and an evening
spent with them is sure to be an
enjoyable one.
As "Majer Wellington de Boots"
Mr.. Lehman displays to advantage
his now acknowledged talent as q
low comedian, and gives evidence
that, with the finishing touches
and experience that time will
bring, he can take high rank in
that line of business If he chooses
to adopt 1t. "Felix Featherly,n
the generous, the self.sacrificing
friend, was ably portrayed by Mr..
Tom Barnes. Miss e. Witherby,
as "Mrs. Swansdown," was so
graceful, so much at ease, and SO
life like la the portraiture Of the
pretty and charming widow,
that she left the impress
sion upon the mind that such
acting could only come from one
who had trod the boards in u pro-
fessionai capacity. Mrs. G. H.
Edwards, as the neglected Mira.
Featherly-neglected, because her
husbands time was absorbed In
doing acts of friendship for others
her part with modesty
and quiet dignity. Mrs. G. J. Ii
tus, as "Mrs. Major de Boots" that
superior woman contributed
much to the pleasure of the even
ing. Mr.. Seward as "Frank Ice.
brook" Mr.. Clinton as "Trap,n
and Mrs. w. Fl. Carlow as "Fan.
n.y." did well the parts assigned
them.
The new scenery was pretty and
in charming taste. There was
some annoyance on account of q |
defect In the gas meter, which
marred the first part Of the per.
formance; but, of course, it was an
accident and will not occur again.
We can assure our readers that |
if they will join in IA Widow
Hunt on next Thursday evening,
they will have rare sport. The
same programme will be repeated
on Thursday and Friday evenings.

Herr Zander, a German musical
director, has made public some in
teresting observations on the rela-
tions between the condition of the
human voice and that OF the
weather. He says that apart from
the inevitable changes 10 the into
nation, purity and strength of the
voice resulting from physical va
riations. such as illness, nervous
tension, and the like, he has noted
other influences of q barometricai
nature that seem to indicate APP
preaching changes in the weather.
In clear weather about to change
into that of q dismal, rainy charac-
ter his voice became weak, and
sho owed q tendency to grow deeper.
In wet weather about to clear up
and become dry and braclng, the
opposite was the case. The voice
became bright, clear. and strong,
and was disposed to strike too high
q pitch. Herr lander was director
OF . church choir and teacher OF
singing In high school for many
years, and had ample opportunity
Of verifying these conclusions.

A SOCIAL BOMBSHELL.
Lucy Hooper's Paris Letter.

| Lucy Hooper's Paris Letter.l
This is not exactly the season o.
the year for social scandals, but q
small bombshell of this nature has
just burst on the American colony,
causing good deal Of amazement
therein. The facts in the case are
as follows: A little more than a
year ago an English gentleman ar
rived in Paris to take up his abode
in this delectable city. He was &C.
eompsnied by his wife, d very
beautiful American lady, who was,
I understand, Philadelphia by
birth, and, moreover, was the d.
vOrced wife Of New York.mer-
chant-divorced, be 1t understood,
for no fault of her own, but on ac-
count of sundry misdemeanors on
the part of her husband. This pair,
being elegant In manner, hospita-
BILE, social, and of cultivated tastes,
soon gained an entree into the
most exclusive circles of the Amer
lean colony. They took a hotel in
the fashionable quarter of Paris,
that of the Pare MOnceau, and fur.
nished it in gorgeous style. The
gentleman's equipages. the lady's
toilettes and jewels, were on the
same magnificent scale. Her Wis
iting costume of emerald green
velvet, trimmed with Russian ga.
BILE, was said to be the most costly
dress of the kind that ever issued
from Worth's famous establish
ment, the cloak alone costing
81, 900. The source of the
gentleman's wealth was said
to be certain mines in Coll
orado or Nevada. This sum-
mer sn elegant villa at Dsauvllle
received this fortunate couple,
who continued there the hospitality
of their Partisan home, entertain
ing succession of guests, among
whom were numbered representa-
t!ves of some of the proudest and
most exclusively American faMi-
lies who reside in Paris. The other
day the London Daily Telegraph
report of the suit for
divorce brought against the Eng
lish millionaire by his first wife for
and desertiOn. A Colorado
Court had alone been called upon
to sever the tie that united them,
and no warning or information of
the proceedings had ever been
granted to Mrs. X No. l, who
is an english lady. The English
Court, after some severe, but, l
must say, just remarks respecting
divorces in general,
granted her petition. Mr.. X ---
will therefore be at liberty to mar
ry Mrs. x No. 2 all over
again, which 1 am told he will be
obliged to do in order to legalize
his second marriage either in Eng
land or France. / have never
CHANGED to meet the pair in ques-
ton, but l have heard that the lady
is q really remarkable specimen of
American beauty. According to |
the newspaper report Of the Lon.
don trial, Mr.. X--had no rea-
sonable cause of complaint against
his wife, the ground ON which he
obtained his Colorado divorce be-
ing that of "cruelty." Rather .
plea for man to urge
against q woman. l wonder If she
pinched him, or scratched him, or
whacked him over the head with a
broomstick, or what? He richly
deserved the latter form of punish.
ment, think.
