PRESIDENT GARFIELD.

Gsifield's inaugural address is a
document far superior in sentiment,
ability and craftsmanship to anything
that has fallen from the lips of Grant
or Hayes. 1t is vigorous 10 style
and patriotic in review. 1t is, Of
course, Radical in parry politics, but
it nevertheless sbouuds with some
generous truths. If he makes as
good a President as he talks, then
We of the South, will have bat little
to complain of But one Of the sad
dest f.nI,s 10 connection with Gar.
fields history is, he always talks like
a statesman and acts like partizan.
He is a man of scholarly attachments
and we'll versed 10 the affairs of gov
eminent, and if be fails to rise to the
dignity Of his opportunity, to be
President of the whole people, and
not solely of the Republican party,
then it will be bis own fault.
The following are h;s Cabinet APP
poin,ments
J. G. Blaine, Of Maine, Secretary
of State.
William Window, of Minnesota,
Secretary of the Treasury.
Wayne McVeigh,o of Pennsylvania,
Attorney General.
Thomss l. James, of New York

Samuel J. Kirk wood, of Iowa,
Secretary of the Interior.
Robert T. Lincoln, of Illinois,
Secretary OF War.
William II Hunt, of Louisiana,
Secretary of the Navy.

nations at 3:05 O'Clock and immedi-
ateIy, on motion of Mr.. Cameron, of
Pennsylvania, went into executive
session.

Push strong tape through and leave out
about two inches; put three OF four
tapes through at even intervals. Cut
common thick paper boards large
enough to project little everywhere

and glue down to the boards outside.

cover the back and come on the boards

project couple of inches ut the end.
Paste the leather well. put it on the
back; fold the ends in so as TO come
ever the boards on each side. Paste
any fancy or plain paper over the sides;
and, lastly, paste the blank leaf down
to the cover inside, and you have
preseatable book and very durable.
trimming tue edges can be done by
clamping between boards, and cutting

The life Of Garfeld.

= The announcement that Mrs. Garfield
is TO supervise the biography of her late
husband, will of course give an addi-
tional and unique interest to it. She
viii not undertake to execute it herself,
but to superintend the execution. If
one may trust the stories of the materi-
ais for it, it will be q very valuable rs
well as interesting work. Large num-
bers of boxes are said to be filled with
letters received by him during his po-
litical life. Tie letters are all elassi-
fed, briefed and arranged after q sys-
tematic method. In addition to those
Mrs. Garfield has copies or drafts of
many of his answers to them, as well as
large numbers of diaries kept and in
dexed. Some of these are shorthand
notes, so that it is difficult to imagine
circumstances more favorable for pro-
duction of biography and history of
the times. 1t is not surprising to learn
that the publishers are already eompe-
ting for the opportunity of publishing
it. Mrs. Gariield's sympathy with her
husband and all his plans. as well as
her intelligence and Literary ability,

A Girls Tact and Courage.

The Revolution of 1776 rot only tried
mems souls, but the Women's also.
Many anecdotes are still told which IL
lustrate the tact and courage of noblo
women, who sacrificed much 10 the col
onies' independence. Oae of these an
eedotes, the scene of which is laid in
FIatbusIl, New York, shows the strong
sympathy of q girl Of sixteen for the
patriots cause, and her courage in ex-
hibiting it.
Kings County, Long Island, was for
long time during TIE war occupied By
the British, Soldiers were quartered
upon the inhabitants, to whom policy,
therefore, dictated wise reticence as to
their sympathies. But one girl would
not disguise her sentiments, though her
mother often checked her boldncss.
One day line of artillery wagons
was passing. The driver of the fore
most wagon, anxious tt avoid mud
hole, turned his horses upon the side
walk, in front of her house. OF course
all the other drivers would follow his
lead. The sixteen-year-old girl deter
mined to prevent this dissertation,
rushed out of the house. and so fright
horses overturned the wagon. There
was storm which required the pres
enee of the mother to alIar.
But an old German doctor, attached
to one of the English regiments, saw
the girls attack. and luu he'd immoder-
ately over it.
30, vat n heroine vas our leetle Fem
metiar' he said. laug ir@ie to Hes
sian officer. ''She att c. Il sc big az
tillery men! Sac attacN itim wis a
broomstick! She is one brave leetlc
ladvr'
Notwithstanding the presence of the
British troops, the patriotic citizens of
Kings County loaned large sums of
money for the advancement of &e
American cause. An agent went around
secretly collecting the money. as his life
would have been taken 4 he had been
caught.
One day the girls mother was count
ing out sum of gold TO this agent.
Looking up. she saw q British officer
enter tire dooryard.
.'Femmetia,n she said to her daugh-
Ter, shurry out and meet that officer,
and don't let him come in this room, as
you value your life. Don't fail us now.
Child
The daughter obeyed. She met that
officer, and was so entertaining that he
did not seek 10 enter the house until
after the mo@ey had been gathered. and
the agent hidden. 1t was the first and
last time that her mother complimented
her for entertaining British officer.
