That SuperstitiOus Whim.

President Hinsdale. of Hiram College,
was asked as to the story sent out since
Garfield was shot that he had always ex-
pected to die at 40.
President Hinsdale said: II never
heard anything of it, and don't believe
it. l know that when he went into the
army he expected that ne would be kill
ed. I was once riding from Hiram to
Mantua, after he had enlisted, and be-
fore he had gone to the army, and he
said to me he would never come home
alive. Said he: "The bitterness of death
has passed to me"
When asked as to Garfield's reported
superstition, he said: "There is, / know,
foundation for such stories, but they
don't come from any superstition on his
part. He was curious in that way, and
it was curiosity more than superstition
that led to it. He had long string that
went by forty-twO. There were forty
two in the class in which he graduated
at Williams College. His regiment was
numbered fOrty-two. When his little
girl died in 1858, he measured her for
burial, and told me she measured just
forty-two inches in length. There were
lots of those condolences, and he had
wonderful ingenuity in working them
out. For instance, have been with him
when he was given room 81. He would
say: do you see that six times seven
make 42?' He had check given him
at the depot numbered 1,246. He would
say: "See there againp One and two
make three, three and four are seven,
and six times seven are fOrty-two."

Vote early on TUES
DAY for Foster.
THE SENATE.
A Plan Providing for its Or
ganizatiOn.

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-The lnter-0cean's S
Cleveland special says: On their journey
with the funeral train from Washing
ton, the Republican and Democratic
Senators discussed the political situa-
tion fairly and reached plan to adjust
matters satisfactorily in the Senate
without wrangle like that of last
spring, which would shock the country
and be unseemly. The arrangement was
not to be binding on those not present,
but it is. believed the non-participants
will accept the plan. Edmunds for the
Republican and Garland for the Demo-
Gratis were the originators of the talk and
they notified their party friends by mail
and telegraph that caucusses would be
held October at Washington by their
respective parties and if the agreement
were carried out joint committee of
five would be appointed to arrange the
details.
The result of the agreement was that
Anthony or some other Republican Sc
lected by the Republican caucus should
be made Acting Vice President pro tenn.
of the Senate without dissent; that the
Democrats name the Secretary of the
Senate (otiice now vacantl. and retain
the present Sergeant-at-Arms or select
his successor. The present committees
are to be undisturbed. The Senate con-
sists of 73 members-S7 Democrats, S5
Republicans and Judge Davis, who will
act with the Republicans on organizing
the Senate, in accordance with his speech
last spring, in which he claimed the re-
organization of the Senate should lar-
monize with the Executive. When the
Senators from New York and Rhode
Island are sworn in the Republicans
will have a majority. There would
therefore be no reason or advantage in
taking advantage in the present situa-
tion.

OCTOBER 18th.
Return of Mrs. Garfield to Mentor.

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 29-Col. Rockwell,
Major Swain and Major Clapp. friends
of the late President Garfield, arrived
in this city from Cleveland last night,
and missing connections remained over
until this forenoon. when they eontinu-
ed their journey to Washington. In,the
course of a conversation with a reporter
of the Commercials Gazette Maj. Swain
said:
"We accompanied Mrs. Garfield, Grand
ma Garfield, the children and Private
Secretary Stanley Brown to the old
homestead at Mentor on Tuesday. We
were met at the depot by the Rndolphs,
Mrs. .Gartield's relatives, and were ac-
companied quietly TO the homestead.
When we came in sight of, the old IA
miliar spot Mrs. Garfield was quite over
come for moment, but soon recovered
her cOmpOsure and entered the desOlate
home. Gen. Garfield's study remains
just as he left it, and one of the sorrow-
Ing widows first steps was to go into the
room where she had spent many happy
hours. She is gradually recovering from
the effects of the blow"
RepOrter-Has she made any plans as
yet for the future?
Major Swaim-Mfs. Garfield said it
was too early TO indicate where she will
reside, but think she will spend her
summers at Mentor in the old hOme,a
the winters with her relatives in Cleve-
land, so rs be near her husbands
remains. and part of the time in. VIII
liamst0wn, Mass, where she will be near
her eldest boys, Harry and Jimmy, while
they are in attsndance ut Williams Col.
leRe.
Reporter--~heR will the boys 60 back
to CollsgeS -...a.lt q5. -
Mai. Swaim-They will leave for
Williams College on Friday night or
Saturday morning of this week. Grand
ma Garfield in the future viii make her
home with Mrs, Garfield. Whittier the
bereayed wife goes the sorrowing moth.
er will will go. The aged grandmother
is very frail. and will spend her last
days with the family of her dead sen.
Repdrter-MajOr, a statement has been
published in some of the papers that you
intend resigning your position as Judge
Advocate General.
Major SwaIm-That statement is in
correct. l shall not tender my resigna-
ton.

The Three Fiends.


There were three demons came out of

FieDds that blighted the eyes to see;
That frightened the dreamer out of his
sleep, -.-...- r,asr'
And chilled the heart with their stealthy
creep,
A ghastly. terrible, horrible three.
WAR" was one, and his sable plume
Swallowed face that was cruel as hate /;
He awakened the dawn with the sullen
boom " '-4
OF murderous guns; like pail of gloom
Hung the smoke of his breath, and pitt
less doom
His mailed hands held like a soulless
fate
Life was his meat and his drink was
gore;
Red'to the knees he walked in blood 4;
Laughed us he ragged down the carmine
shore,
Raising his voice in the horrid roar
And shrieks of his victims, as more and
They swelled tn e CHASTITY food.
And rum" was another one, grisly and
grim;
Crueler, ten times told, than you'd
think;
Misery poisoned its beaker's brim,
Death eternal, and hate, and sin,
Want and woe he poured them in
And gave to the world to drink.
His victims were numberless as the
sands,
Maiden and youth and hoary aga;
The wisdom and courage of many lands,
Hearts of manhood, and dimpled hands,
They came TO his death-feast, ghostlY
bands. 5-.t.'
Weak fools and strong minded sage.
And the thlrd-he came with a goblin
smile;
Gentle and kind he seemed to be;
But the heart of the aend was full of
guile. Hw
In his merriest moments all the while,
His thoughts were cruel, his plans were
vile;
He was the worst of the three.
At feast and wedding he sat elate,
With luscious lips he kissed the bride;
He petted the little, he pleased the great,
While he wrecked the home and destroy
ed the state,
With sway like the rule of fate,
That you couldn't resist if you tried.
Oh, woe was the home where he entered
in!

stood by;
And faces pale, and wan, and thin,
Looked up in fear at his mocking grin,
And the victims knew, as they scOoped
him in,
They were hopeless slaves of the de-
mon "PIE."

LOOK after your doubtful neigh
Dor next Tuesday.

THE annual State and county cleo
tions in Ohio will occur less than one
week. The public anxiety ia regard to
the late President, shared by all parties,
has prevented an active campaign. But
the ordinary duties of freemen require
attention to the workings of our insti-
tutions and the characters and princi-
plies of the men proposed for Office. We
may reverently ask, how would the de-
parted President have voted? Fellow
citizens, prepare to do likewise. Can
you better honor his memory?

He Is Buried.

Six months and twenty-five days have
elapsed since James A. Garfield was in
augurated President of the United
States. Two days less than four months
he filled actively the Office to which he
was chosen. and developed policy that
was generally approved by the people,
and which, coupled with a previous act
i've life, found him place in the hearts
of his countrymen. On the I'd of July
he was shot down by an assassin. He
suffered much pain, but exhausted ma
ture baffled the skill of physicians, and
on the 10th. of September he breathed
his last. Suddenly, after all, his soul
took its flight, leaving only to mourn
ing nation the shell. Yesterday all that
was mortal of James A. Garfield was
committed TO the silent tomb. That was
no ordinary funeral. 1t was confined to
no one place. The whole people were in
spirit in that cemetery. Throughout the
country the funeral bells tolled. The
people were united in mourning. There
were no distinctions. All classes, sects,
cOlOrs, and conditions joined in paying
their tributes of respect. 1t was no gala
day. Business was suspended, and pleas
ures were also. Literally the nation
mourned, but while the people bowed
their heads and poured out their griefs
under this sad affiiction they were not
without hope. Faith looked for the sill
yer lining 10 the dark clouds. 1t may
not be discoverable now, but it will ap-
pear Except a corn of wheat fall into
the earth and die it abideth alone, but if
it die 1t briugeth forth much fruit" 1t
is finished Garfield's work is done, but
his example liveth, and though dead he
yet speaketh. The corn of wheat has
fallen. 1t will not die. The example of
the righteous man never dieth. 1t will
spring up, blossom, bear much fruit, and
abide forever. The nation is the better
because Garfield lived. In his death it
udS Ucou cndsIlScu anu ulSClpliHou. Ills
sacrifice has elevated and united the
people. His noble example will prove
as beacon light to lead and inspire
those who may he raised up to serve the
public and preserve and perpetuate our
great national heritage. Green as the
grass that shall cover his grave will con-
tinue his memory, and the corn of wheat
will grow to enrich and bless this peo-
pie and generations yet unborn.-ICin.
