his LAST RESTING PLACE

Lake View cemetery, where Presl-
dent Gartield's remains are now
laid to rest, embraces three hundred
acres Oh the south side of Euclid ave-
nues, just beyond the east limits of
Cleveland, five miles from the bust
ness centre of the city. On the
other side of the avenue is Wake
park, and i'll close proximity the site
where the new Western Reserve uni
versity buildings are being erected.
Nature seems to have designed this
spot for the purpose to which it has
been devoted and all which art and
money could do to enhance the nat
ural beauties has been done. The
grounds are owned by an incorpo-
rated association of Cleveland gen.
tlemen of wealth and refinement, in
| cOrpOrated under the law which re-
quires that all gains or profits from
| the sale of lots or otherwise be ap-
ment and repair of the cemetery.
The land was purchased ten years
ago and laid out by a landscape de-
signer and engineer, selected for
eminence in their profession.
Wooded hills, grassy wales, secluded
hooks, winding drives, siluous
walks, running brooks and quiet
lakes are the conspicuous land
marks. The association adopted a
plan different from any other ceme-
terry and expressed tersely in the
original prospectus in the following
language:
"a feeling is growing in the pub
lie mind that burials should be made
where the quiet repose of the dead
may be assured forever. The hui
man heart clings to the grave and
its departed hopes and seeks conso-
latiOn i'll rearing monuments and
emblems of beauty over the remains
of its departed loved ones. This can
be fifty done, not in the tumultuous
| din of cities, but amid the quiet
verdure, under the broad and cheer
full light of heaven, where harmoni-
Gus and ever changing face ofnature
reminds us by its resuscitating infiu-
ence that to die is to live again."
With this sentiment prompting the
plans, the cemetery has become in
beauty and tasteful adornment the
rival of the most celebrated cemete-
ries of the world, and has an air Of
retired and restful loneliness of an
inexpressible nearness to nature and
with drawal from the world not
found elsewhere. The great object
of the association was to provide a
resting place for the departed, free
from the gloom of the tomb, and
from which should be banished
everything suggestive of awfulness
in death. No fence, either iron or
wood; no chopping or curbing OF
brick or stone; no hedge, wooden
trellis, posts and chain, or anything
to make an inclosure, is permitted.
Head and footboards, are prohibit
ed; headstones are not allowed to
exceed fourteen inches in height.
Thus the cemetery rather resembles
a vast well kept park with stately
shafts and modest or ornate vaults
in lieu of statuary and structures.
President Garfield loved to stroll in
this cemetery. 1t was his ideal OF a
final resting place.

ONLY a single life now stands be-
tween constitutional government
and probable legal anarchy. Recog-
nizing his responsibility for this
condition of affairs, and being will
ing to repair the error at the very
earliest moment possible, the
president has called the SEN
ate to meet in executive
session and choose presiding
officer, who would succeed to the
presidency in case of the resigna-
ton or death of MIR. Arthur. By
law the president of the senate is
placed first, after the vice-president,
in the line of succession TO the
presidency, and after him the
speaker of the house is entitled to
the succession. The extra session of
the senate adjourned without elect
ing president, and the speaker of
the house is .fitRctaS o1iciO. This
state of affairs naturally produces a
feeling of anxiety, heightened by the
unexpected taking off of Mr.. Gar:
field, and Mr.. Arthur pursued the
wisest course in Immediate
ly providing for contingencies.
The mistakes of Republi-
cans have placed the organization
of the senate in the hands of the
Democrats, and the fact should give
rise to no unkind feeling on the
part of the Republicans. Among
the Democrats of the senate there
are most distinguished patriots, and
should one of these be chosen as the
country's second officer. the act
would be creditable to the Ameri.
can people. The death of President
Garfield has apparently destroyed
all personal party strife, and wher
the constitutional body, which meets
in Washington next month, proceeds
to the election of presiding officer
and that officer is a Democrat, the
result should be acquiesced in by
all Republicans and their course il
the premises would then be accept
ed as an earnest of the death
of malicious party strife. The
question of party should not figur,
in the coming organization, for il
has nothing to do with the case, and
if the Republicans act wisely they
viii not present an issue. The pres
ent qualified members of the senate
have an imperative duty to perform
before they can possibly proceed te
business, and it may be hoped thai

Silent suffering is a thing often
unknown to the world, for there is
much pain that is quite noiseless,
and vibrations that make human
agonies are often mere whispers in
the roar of hurrying existence
There are glances of hatred that
stab and raise no cry of murder,
robberies that leave man and wo-
man forever beggared of peace and
joy, yet they are kept secret by the
sufferer-committed to no sound
except of low means in the night
seen in no writing except that made
on the face by the slow months OF
suppressed anguish and early morn
ing tears. Many an inherited sor-
row that has married life has been
breathed into no human ear.

Corn is scarce at Brennan at sew
enty-tive cents per bushel.
There are 100000 acres of United
States lands in southern Mississippi
which can be bought for $1.25 per
acre, or they can be entered under
the homestead law ON these terms :
Forty acres for Sc, 80 acres for 81,
120 acres for $14, and l60 acres for
$50.
The price of corn in Texas is be-
yond reason. If the railroads will
give proper transportation facilities,
it should be gotten here at living
figures. In Iowa the crop is i'm

The SHOOTING OF RoBESPIERRE.
Almost all historians of the French
revolution have represented the
famous wound of RObespierre rs
self-inflicted. Most OF them state
that the bullet aimed at his own
head broke the jaw-bOne,a and thus
made it impossible for him to speak.
NJ. THEIRS, however, makes lighter
of the wound, and i'll his account of
the scene at the Hotel de Vile, says !:
"Robespierre drew a pistol upon
himself, but the ball, striking be-
meath the lip, only pierced the cheek
and inflicted a severe, though not 4
dangerous wound" This version is
now in process of being altogether
upset by an account of the circuin-
stances given in the pages OF La
France. This journal reproduces a
deposition made by the gendarme
Media or Merida, afterward n colonel
in the army and baron ofthe empire
and some other papers which sup
port the story contained in it. The
gendarme says: 81 knew the elder
Robespierre he was sitting in an
arm-chair-that was in the hall of
the Hotel de Withdrawing his ell
bows on his knees and his head
leaning on his left hand. made a
rush at him, and presenting my
sword to his heart, said to him,
Yield, traitorp He raised his head
and answered, 1T is you who are a
traitor, and | will have you shot
AT these words | took one of my
pistols in my left hand, and, step
ping one pace aside, fired at him. l
intended to hit him in the heart, but
the ball struck his chin and broke
his left jaw" This story is con-
firmed by all engraver of the period
representing Media in the act of dis
charging his pistol, and by the fact
that Media was shortly afterward
presented TO the convention and
warmly complimented by the presi-
dent upon having committed this
| assault.
