Zach Chandler was not only strong
man and an expert boxer, but he had

didn't take all day to rile him.
Just at the close of the war, and the
day before the grand review in Wash

of series of set-to's with the gloves
Zach took his place in the circle un-
known to all, and attracted no attention
until one Of the boxers was driven
back upon him. Leaning forward the
senator whispered: "Ioung man, saw
4 dozen good chances for your left ii
there"
Say, old coon, may be you're on
the box ?" called the other, as he over
heard the remark. Zach peeled of his
alpaca coat, put down his hat, and took
the gloves from the one who had been
worsted. The other man was the best
boxer i'll the regiment, and there was
intense excitement as the two squared
off.
Not pass was made for minute,
and then the senator found an opening
and sent left-hander so straight and
solid that his opponent went down like
q log. He got up slowly, and i'll
dazed condition, and, removing the
gloves from his hands, approached the
senator and asked; Say, did you Nit
me with brick hospital?"
NO, | struck with this" replied
Zach, rs he held out his left. The man
surveyed it, felt of it, run his hand IN
and down the senator's arm, and turn

TOOK $4,000 IN CURRENCY.
Before leaving the train they threw

that it was valueless.
A second dispatch says it was eight
miles south Of Prescott. Three men
presented cooked revolvers at the con
ductor, and bade him stop the train,
which he did as quickly az possibly. He
was in such a hurry to stop the train
that he broke the bell cord in two. All
three robbers went TO the express car
and made the messenger open the safe,
from which they

be very busily engaged in caring for
single chicken, in whose welfare she
took a very fussy interest. He attempt

should cut her with his scythe, when
he found the supposed chicken to be
small kitten. Great interest was ex-
cited concerning this anomaly among
the guests of the hotel, who looked for
some instructive as well as entertaining
developments, when an Unforeseen
event broke up the novel family ar

Bliss had seen the pationt, and found that
his pulse was l06, and his temperature
nearly normal He did not feel in the
slightest degree uncomfortableA land a
reasonably quiet night was ex-
pected for him. A few minutes
after I'D y. M. he awoke from 4 short sleep
and complained Of being in great pain.
General Swain Immediately summoned
Dr. Bliss, who found the president un-
conscious, with very feeble pulse and but
slight action of the heart. In this uncon-
selous condition he fingered for about
twenty minutes and then died. The
immediate cause of death is believed
To have been neuralgia of the heart.
While. within the past few davs, the
gravity OF the case had forced the conclu-
sion that the patient could not possibly re-
cover save by miracle, the realization of
the fact has struck the heart of the people
with deep sorrow. The death of Presi-
dent Garfield is to every American as the
loss of personal friend. Vice President
Arthur was telegraphed by the cabinet
and at once took the oath of Office, and is
now in Washington in the performance

President Arthur's Inaugural.

Upon being sworn in as president of
the United States, for the second time,
President Arthur read the following ad-
dress from manuscript:
For the fourth time in the history of
the republic, its chief magistrate has
been removed by death. All hearts are
filled with grief and horror at the hide
Gus crime which has darkened our
land; and the memory of the murder
ed president, his proracted sufferings,
his unyielding fortitude-the example
and achievements of his life and pathos
Of his death-will forever illume the
pages OF our history. For the fourth
time the officer elected by the people
and ordained by the constitution to fill
vacancy SO created is called to as
sumo the executive chair. The
wisdom of our fathers, foresee-
ing even the most dire possibilities,
made sure that the government should
certainty of human life. Men may
die, but the. fabrics of our free institu-
tioLs remain unshaken. No higher or
more assuring proof could exist of the
strength and permanency OF popular
government than the fact that though
the chosen of the people be stricken
down, his constitutional successor is
peacefully installed, without shock or
strain, except the sorrow which mourns
the bereavement. All the noble aspi-
rations of my lamented predecessor,
which found expression in his life, the
measures devised and suggested during
his brief administration to correct
abuses and enforce economy, to adj
vance prosperity, and promote the gen
eral welfare, to insure domestic security
and maintain friendly and honorable
relations with the nations of the earth,
viii be garnered in the hearts Of the
people; and it will be my earnest
endeavor to profit and to see that
the nation profit by the example
and experience. Prosperity blesses
our country. Our fiscal policy
is fixed by law, is well-grounded, and
morally approved. No threatening
issue mars our foreign intercourse, and
the wisdom, integrity and the thrift of
our people may be trusted to continue,
undisturbed, the present assured career
of peace, tranquility and welfare. The
gloom and anxiety which have en-
shrouded the country must make re-
pose especially welcome now. No de-
mand for speedy legislation has been
heard: no adequate occasion Is appa-
rent for an unusual session of congress.
The constitution defines the functions
and powers Of the executive as clearly
as those of either of the other depart
ments of the government, and he must
answer for the Just exercise of the discre-
ton it merits, and the performance of
the duties it imposes Summoned TO
these high duties and responsibilities,
and profoundly conscious OF their mag
nitude and gravity, assume the trust
imposed by the constitution. relying
for aid on Divine guidance and the vir-
tue, patriotism and intelligence of the
American people.
