The Joe Jefferson Family.

William Winter has produced de- lightful book on the JeffeTsons, and the New York Herald indulges in tic fol- lowing summary of the personal points: "Iu the genous of Mir Joseph Jefferson, who stands for Jefferson the fourth in the category, is to be found the rdisOa d'etre of the history. Rip Van Wrinkle has enobled his ancestors { Jefferson 1st (Thomasl played in Garrick's time and with him. He died in England. Jefier- son 2d (Joseph) came to America as an actor in l795, at the age of 2l.

He was born in 1929, and grew up to the stage fr6n infancy. We need not recapitulate his career, but may say that in various lightsit is done justice to by Mir. Winter. Jefferson the 5th (Thomas) is the young man now playing Flag in his fathers company when the Rivals is acted. It might be added that Jefferson the 9th very closely resembles Jefferson the 9th.

How MT. and Mrs. Garfield Came to Live
 at Mentor.

at Mentor.
 The first four years of married life were spent by the Gartields in boarding among the families of their friends. but by 1862 careful frugality had accumulated a small fund of savings, with which Mir. Garfield purchased & small frame cottage facing the college, and Mrs. Garfield for the first time became mistress of a home. There, too, Mir. Garfield brought his widowed mother, who has ever since been an inmate of his home Here the Garfields resided for many years, until the growing needs of an increasing family necessitated more commodious 
 Of seven children born to them five are living, their names being Harry, James, Molly, Irwin (named after Gene ral McDowell), and Abram. James is a student at college, while Irwin and Abram have been instructed by private tutor.
 MT Garfield had always very strong desire to own a farm, and having paid off the mortgage, on the little frame cot tage, and being little ahead in money matters, this desire increased upon him. A farm of 160 acres was, he heard, for sale at Mentor, Lake county, and he made arrangements for it's purchase, On the farm was an ancient and somewhat dilapitated farmhouse, story and a half high, and there the family removed in 1876. The ceilings were low and the house was somewhat inconvenient; but the outdoor life delighted the boys, who ran wild in the orchards and havfields, and Mrs. Garfield and her widowed mother-in-law reioiced in the return to the scenes of farm life, among which both had spent their early years. Mir. now General, Garfield after session at Washington, found healthful and con genial occupation in reviving the farm skill of his boyhood in holding the blow loading the hay wagon, or driving the ox-team.ss
 In 1879 it was found practicable te en- large and somewhat modernize the house. Mrs. Garfield had a talent for architecture, and she now devoted her attention to devising the best way oi improving the home. After long con sideration she prepared the plans for the new house, the builders were set to work and the present commodious but unpre tentious dwelling was erected around ane over the old one. It is described a; having two stories capped by steeI roof, which shelters big garret lighted by dormer windows. A wide piazza ex tends the whole length of the fronts wide hall runs through to a back porch Below are the parlor, dining-room, kitch en. and two large bedrooms, one beinl the room of "Grandma," now nearly eighty years of age. Above are th' other sleeping rooms and the study O the master of the house. A few step from the house is little building of { single room called the library, with it walls lined with bookcases and witt windows on all sides.

He is below the medium height,
stold and stoical looking, and the thin
ness of his lips and few wrinkles in
his face give him the appearance of
being older than fifty years. which
Scout Allison says is his correct age.
He was dressed in the traditional blue
blanketing, sewed in the form OF half
civilized trousers, with great gaping
places where the pockets should be,
and when he walked often displayed a
brawny leg. Over this he simply wore
what was once q fnely-made and
nicely -laundried white shirt. hut which
had become greasy and dirty from long
wear. The shoulders of the shirt and
the sleeves had three long streaks of
red war-paint, with which the warrior s
neck, entire face and scalp at the part
ing of the hair, was covered. His hair
is jet black and reaches below his
shoulders, hanging in three braids, one
at each side and one pendent from the
back and braided from the crown of his
broad head. The two braids hanging
over the shoulders were thickly wound
with flannel, and the only ornaments
worn were two brass rings, one on the
little and one ON the second finger OF
the left hand, and ladv's cheap brace
let of black gutta-percha on the left
wrist.

An Intelligent Horse.

DR.. William II. Murray, the Super
visor of the Sixteenth Ward, is the
owner of gray horse that, at times,
seems to be possessed of human reason.
This horse is devoted to his master, and
it would be next to impossible to steal
it in the street, for it will not move
after Dr. Murray has left it until he re-
turns and gives it permission. To-day
the Doctor was driving at a rapid gait
down North Pearl street. When OPP
posite the Homeopathic Hospital at
Clinton Square man, who was crossing
the street, suddenly became dizzy with
the heat and fell down in front of the
horse. Stepping carefully over the
PROSTATE form, the horse was suddenly
stopped by the Doctor, who pulled the
rein the moment he saw the man fall.
There lay the man under the horse and
between its fore and hind legs. In a
moment the. animal, apparently under
standing the situation, raised itself on
its hind feet, and with fore feet in the
air backed over the body and away
from it. The FRUSTRATED stranger arose
and went away. Ii the horse had not
been possessed of such intelligence,
the stranger would have been run over
and badly injured, as his head lay in
line with the wheels. Albany Times.
