Special Telegram to the Inter Ocean.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-"Is it true that
President Garfield has superstitiOns con-
corning the length of his life?" said the
Inter Ocean correspondent to Captain
Henry, Marshal of the District of Col
umbia, to-day.
Eyes, indeed" was the reply, "and his
ideas on that subject have afforded his
friends much amusement. General GAR
field has always had an idea that he
knew exactly how long he was to live
He used to say that he had fOrebOdings,
and that they always proved correct.
When l first knew Garfield, at Hiram
College, he used to say that he would die
when
HE WAS 80 YEARS OLD,
the same age at which his father died.
He resorted to all sorts of arguments to
support his theory, but when 33 years
came round and found him still living,
of course he had to give that up. Well,
soon after that the war broke out, and
Garfield became soldier. Il know that
| will never return from the war aliye,'
he used to say. Il may not be shot, but l
will never Outlive it, He was made
commander of the FOrty-secOnd Ohio
Volunteers, and though he was never
wounded, think he had
MORE MIRACULOUS ESCAPES
lets through his hats and through his
clothing, but he was not shot. He then
became convinced that he would die at
az. He knew that was what the number
of the regiment meant. He would go to
a hotel, and if the number Of his room
CHANGED to be AZ, or any product, or any
multiple of AZ, he would say, There, do
you see that number? tell you 1T
means me- OF course his friends would
plague him great deal about this, and
accuse him of being superstitiOus, but he
chung to his belief. IL the number of a
house he was stopping at was AZ, and he
knew 1t,
HE WOULD BE UNEASY,
or if it was "a, or 81, it would be all the
same. He would multiply or divide to
suit the case, and find his fOrty-twO. We
were riding on railroad train together
once, and our car CHANGED to stop OPP
There he said, do you see my num-
berY"
mo; where?"
"Why, between that and T."
To-day is the fOrty-ninth since he was
shot. He is 40 years old. was troubled
yesterday on account of the coincidence
of these numerals. A score or more of
his old friends will understand why.
His mind, however, is too weary to be
troubled about the application Of facts
and numerals. His faculties, however,
are quite active. He sees what is going
on in the room. His
NERVES ARE STEADY.
He can hold glass of water in his hand
and carry it to his mouth without tremb-
ling. For Chree or four weeks prior to
last Monday the President often spoke of
home. He lOnged to be at Lawnield, as
his place at Mentor is called. Hundreds
of familiar facts were recalled to him,
and he talked anxiOusly of the time
when he should be able to meet them
again. Since Monday, however, he
has been too weak to converse upon any

The wheat Crop and European be
mand.
From Lansing Republican.


From Lansing Republican.
The New York Times, from the best
data at his command, does not think the
recent sharp advance in wheat to $1.33
per bushel, which is 81 cents higher than
the average price of the last ten years,
wholly speculative, but may be taken as
an indication of the widespread cOnvic-
ton that the demand for home use and
foreign export during the year will prac-
tically exhaust our store. There is a
marked decrease in the crop in Iowa,
Illinois, and Michigan, a slight falling
off in Minnesota, Nebraska, and CallfOr-
mia, while there is an increase in Wis
cOnsin and all the New England states.
Dakota reports large increase in acre
age, and fair yield. 1t is generally
believed that the surplus for expectation
will be much below the surpluses of the
last three years. This decrease in the
supply which we can spare on European
demand is accompanied by a proportion
ate reduction in the amount which
Europe is likely to ask of us, During
the year ending June 30 last our export
of wheat and flour amounted to 100000
600 bushels, for the previous year $780,
100000 bushels. 1t is within bounds to
estimate Oul supplies for export from
the old and new crops at 100000
bushels. OF this amount it is expected
that California and Oregon will con-
tribute 100000 bushels. England's
crop will fall below the average, France
has ceased to expect even an average
crop, but the prospects in Germany have
greatly improved of late, and Russia will
have 30OOO,O00 bushels for export. From
the best Obtainable data it now looks as
if Europe would call on America for all
her available surplus of wheat.

Report Of the Board Of Public
Works on the Theatre
Disaster.

LONDON, December IA dis
patch received at the admiralty from
the Franzibar, announces the cap
ture of the owner of the Slave
Dhow, who was in. the encounter
IN which Captain Brownrigg, of the
British man of--war, London, was
killed on the 3rd instant.
The official report of the Board of
Works on the Ring theatre disaster
says: The chief engineers asked two
policemen at the main entrance of
the Ring theatre whether there was
anybody within, and received the re.
ply that the whole audience had left
safely. This statement was appa-
rently confirmed by the fact that no
persons were seen at the entrance of
the building. The men of the fire
brigade subsequently made their way
to the galleries, but the air was so
suttocatlng it was impossible to pen
citrate the passages as the torches
went out for want of oxiger, and the
firemen were unable to breath. The
report expresses the conviction that
the audience died speedily from suffo-
cation.

MAS ASSACHUSETTS.

- B0sToN, December 17.-The COM
mittee appointed to investigate the
conduct of the Ninth Massachusetts,
regiment during it's recent trip to
Yorktown, fnd that the offenses cited
as simple intoxication, disobedience
of orders, and unsoldierly and un-
gentleman]y conduct, are true against
twenty members of the regiment, but
that according to the testimony Of
officers and soldiers, the more serious
charges Of stealing cheap jewelry, in
sulting white girls on the streets,
striking horses and carriages, and
mlshehavior at Libby prison, have
not been substantiated. Orders have
been issued by the Commander in
Chief OF the militia for the sunni arv
dismissal Of the offenders, and the
regiment been directed not to leave
its armory in uniform until the spring

The singular power some persons pos
sess over animals is difficult to explain.
Nearly every country village boasts
some successful bee-taker or horse
tanner, who can manage the insects
and animals in way that his neigh
bors fail to do. Visitors at a dog show
must have remarked how some peo-
pie get on Immediately friendly terms
with half the animals exhibited,
fondling strange dogs with impunity,
despite the warning placards above
the benches. Other people are SINH
larly fortunate with horses. Are ami
mails aware, by a kind of intuition, that
they are in the company of those who
like them? or have animal lovers some
peculiar knack of voice and touch which
gives them this power of control over
the creatures?
Soldiers and sailors are generally great
lovers Of pets, and very successful ami
NAL tanners. Many regiment has its
favorite animal, which has accompanied
the corps for years, and even seen sac
tive service If I remember Alright,
q goat went with Welsh Fusilier
regiment to the Crimea, and survived
the campaign. A sailor returning
home, after a cruise, is tolerably GER
tain to have parrot or monkey among
his baggage. The Spitalfelds weavers
used to be great bird fanciers. nearly
every garret exhibiting cage or two at
the window.
The love of pets is an ancient and uni
versal one, shared by King and subject,
great men and obscure toilers. Walter
Of the Vogelweide, the celebrated thir
teenth-century minstrel, left bequest
to the monks of Wurtzburg, on condition
that they daily fed the birds of the air
on his tombstone, giving as a reason for
his charity that the feathered songsters
had taught him the art of minstrelsy.
Other poets and writer's have not for
gotten to acknowledge their indebtedness
to various friends in fur and feather. >
