Considerable diversion was af-
forded the by-standers oas day this
week, when woman from the rural
districts, turned loose her weapon
offensive and defensive-against one
or two of our NJ. D's., who had re,
fused to respond to call for pro-
fessionai services, without some as
suranccs of a suitable recompense.
Epithets we're hurled with the grace
and adroitness Of a skilled gladiator,
aud when mildly expostulated with,
and reminded of her sex, she reared
back, and in tragic tones exclaimed,
" Sir, ! stand in men shoes, and /
d.fy y'n!"

fer as feast commensurate with
the high and lofty at,ainments to
which we fancied they had attained,
our sense of propriety is suddenly
shocked. and the props on which we
had builded our hopes fos the future
Of our county and town, are rudely
knocked away from the mussills of
their foundations by breaking down
and through all the fixed rules and
customs that distinguishes between
civilized people and barbarians, and
committing deeds and enacting orgies
more in keeping with the dark ages
than in the light of the nineteenth
century. footing horns, beating tin
pans, ringing cow-bells, and making
the midnight hour hideous with Co
manche-like yells might have been
considered in the light of grand
ovation on wedding occasions cen
tury or so ago; but it is MOI aaite the
gepteei thing in this day and age,
and those who indulge in such prac-
toes should had ought to be ashamed

The assault upon Mrs. Ed. Smoot
10y a conductor upon the Kentucky
sCentral Railroad, the other day, was
an infamous outrage. The facts in
the case, as we understand them, are
that Mrs. Smoot had purchased a
/ sfrst-class ticket and attempted to
enter a frst-class car, but was re-
fused admission by the brakeman,
/ who ordered her to 90 into the
smoking car. She very properly
refused, and demanded admission
into the car to which she was en-
Titled by her ticket. The door was
Hooked upon her, and she remained
standing upon the platform. The
conductor also ordered her into the
smoking car, calling her attention.
to the notice upon the door, Pas
lsengers are not allowed to ride upon
the platform She demanded her
rights and insisted upon going into
Ia frst-class coach, and, persisting,I
the conductor stopped the train and
put her off. 1t is a high h-handed|
outrage, robbing a passenger of
money, for which no accommoda-
|tion is given. Mrs. Smoot is as fairI
lin complexion as nine out of ten|
ladies Of Anglo Saxon origin, is WE'LL
educated, refined, and, withal, is al
lady in every sense of the term; butt

still remain an outrage - mean, i

much mistaken if her husband does
not fight the case to the bitter endI
in the courts, and we urge the peo-

GARFIELD.

When Pericles stood on the open
ling threshold Of eternity, and in the
calm, solemn twilight Of life S setting
| sun reviewed the events of his ad-
lministration, he consoled his parting 9
spirit with the thought that by nc
official act Of his had any citizen of
ATHENS ever been caused to shed a
tear. Whatever consolation may
come to the dying from the con
seriousness of a well-spent life it was
certainly the privilege Of our
|lamented President to share, when
weary, worn, and full of pain, the
|Angel of Peace, the messenger of
eternal life whispered to his strug-
lgling soul" Arise and depart, for
this is not your rest" He is gone
That melodious voice, with ite win
ming tones, which took captive ear
and heart is now silent. Stiffness
|reigns to-nightin Francklyn cottage,
and the murmur Of the ocean waves
las they dash against the shores is
Expressive Of the anguish of the
hearts of millions of people. Those
long and anxious watches by the
bedside SO patiently endured, so
faithfully performed by the heroic
wife are now ended. The end
What solemn meaning lies in that
sound as it peals mournfully through
the soul when a living friend has
passed away. More solemn still
when that friend stands at the head
|of great nation. We believe in
the doctrine that call men (in a GER
tain sense) are equal" but the lives
|of men do not seem to be equally
Yet so short is human
life, and so insignificant in the eyes
of the Infinite and the All-wise are ALL
the achievements of the noblest of
the sons of men, that with Him the
differences among men are very
small. With Him what is man s|
wisdom or station? Even his right
eousness is as filthy rags" But,
blessed thought, Garfield passed not
up to the Judge clothed only in his
own righteousness. In the bloom
Of his noble manhood he clothed
himself, by faith, in the righteous
ness Of Christ; and so the end is butt
the beginning Of life. Only his
earthly years are numbered; hisl
eternity has just begun. What his
now are we can not tell.

The Nations Loss.

Never before in the history of the
human race has the death of any
ruler so affected the nations Of the
searth as has the death of President
James A. Garfield. Crowned heads
las we'll as lesser dignities, have
waited and watched for the latest
J bulletin from the sick chamber, and
the common people have manifested
] the same concern for the poor suf-
ferer. This man of human origin
| one Of the people-a noble product
] sof our free institutions, has fastened
sall eyes upon the land of Washing
] ton and Lincoln. What is there in
] the atmosphere of this country to pro-
/ sduce such men as Garfield? Every
man who labors with his hands for
his daily bread can claim him as a
brother every man who tolls over
the midnight lamp can claim him as
Eof kin; every earnest patriot can
claim him as comrade; and every
man who is pursuing any noble OBJ
.iect in life can claim Garfield as his
companion, because he was all of
these - laborer, scholar, patriot,
statesman, a true and noble man,
In it's broadest sense he was anI
American, and had faith in our freeI
institutions, under which he was
Inurtured, and for which his best eff
forts were expended to enlarge and|
maintain. Combining the statesman
with the politician his patriotic heart
acknowledged all Americans as his
|countrymen, and one of the most
beautiful aspects of his sickness and|
death was the earnestness shown by|
political opponents for his welfare
and the deep solicitude of the peo-
Pile of the South equaled that of his
own of the North. Divided as wei
may be in time of peace as to Statel
polity, yet when any great calamity
Ibefalls any section of our country
we are all Americans, and our hearts,
beat responsive to the welfare of all
our people.
Up to last Friday we were hope
ful that he would be able to pull
through, but when on that day his
rigOr gave evidence of some newt
complication, we recognized thes
alarming gravity of the situation,
and saw the end was close at hand. ]
as was his constitution, ands

human being, weak and naked, con
tending against the grim monster
armed at every point and clad in 4

of Garfield there is left to us lies in 1
the casket yonder. The sad event
occurred last Monday night at 1O:49 I
