MRS. GARFIELD's SORROW.
Tho White House Has Not Been y
Very Happy Home,

A correspondent of the Chicago Inter
Ocean writes: The first four months
of her life in Washington, as the wifi
of the President, have been full of wear
ineess and sorrow to Mrs. Garfield, and
iu the succession of adverse happening,
she has encountered there, | have, il
seems, a thousand times recalled II re.
mark which this lady made month be
.Ore she went tt Washington to become
the mistress of the White House. Las.
February, coming down from a call
upon General Garfield, lLund Mrs.
Garfield seated by the light OF the fire,
which on that cold winter night blazed
cheerfully in the big base. burner in the
large hallway OF ne Mentor farmhouse.
While waiting f,r our horse and cut
who was an .cquaintance of the family,
asked Mrs. Garfield if she was not an
ticirating great pleasure in her life in
the White House. The .ady's reverie
WAS broken, and she replied:
"No, am only hoping it may It bt
altogether unhappy"
The words We're spoken so quickly, so
simply, and, with such an air of quiet
simplicity that they seemed the natural
expression of the thought with which
she had been buster, and whatever
might have happened III ither of
the TWO listeners could ever forget
them. But how wildly are they now
recalled again and again, until, in he
light OF her actual experience in tie
White House, it seems now that the
wife Of our President must have looked
with almost prophetic vision into the
tirtli. .ht that night.
This leads to the reflection that even,
save once, in the somewhat numerous
OCCASIONS on which have met Mr.
Garfield since his nomination at Chica-
60, did he seem to be in any real way
enjoying the honor which had come to
him. The rec plion was on the second
day after election, when his Counte-
nance wore Il flush Of pleasure and tri-
umph like that winch used to light it
up when he had vanquished some op.

THE C0UNTRY'S PERIL.
ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE
PRESIDENT.
Story of the Crime and the

Condition OF the President Still Critical
but Reasonable Hope OF Recovery.

On Saturday morning last the coun-
try was Mortified with the startling an
nouncement by telegraph from Wash
ington that President Garfield had
been shot. 1t was an appalling dis
patch, and many were at first inclined
to doubt its truth, but, alas, subsequent
information only proved that it was
too true! Whilst waiting at the de-
pot of the Baltimore and Potomac
railroad, in the city of Washington,
whittier the President had gone in the
early morning for the purpose of tax
ing a train for his contemplated jour
ney North, he was suddenly stricken
down by the hand of an assassin, and
has since lain in an extremely dan
gerous condition in the narrow con-
fines which separate life from death.
Well may the country stand terri
fed in the presence of this monstrous
crime. 1t was n deed of atrocious
wickedness for il there can be no
excuse or palliation, and the life of the
miserable and desperate wretch will
be but poor penalty for the calamity
he sought to bring about. Thank
God, there is still a ray of hope which
gives'assurance that the stricken Pres
ident may yet survive his injuries, and
not only throughout the length and
breadth Of our own land, North aud
South, East and West, but through.
out the entire civilized world, there is
but one sentiment among good people
that of profound sympathy for him
in his suffering, and of earnest and
sincere desire for his speedy and perma.
nent recovery.
