THE END.

\ The last week of the Presidents life has 8been varied only by his sufferinga series oi
 schils beginning on Friday. After each chill
 8he rallied, and there was fever of some hours
 duration. The lung difficulty got no worse, land was apparently triie better. but the sweetness of the breath peculiar to blood pois-
 oniug became noticeable EacE chill left him
 weaker, and there was no real hope of his re-
 covery for several days before his death. The
 end came at last very suddenly. He had had } I chill on Monday morning, but rallied from Nit, took nourishment as usual, and the doctors predicted aquiet night. Atabout ten minutes \ past ten he woke complaining of severe pain in the region of the heart, became insen- ,ible almost immediately, and died quietly at l0:35. j An autopsy of the body was made on Tues jay afternoon and an inquest will probably
 \ oe held. The cabinet have decided that the body is to be taken to Washington on Wednes- 4 lay where it will lie in State on Thursday
 3 md Friday. On Saturday it will lie in State
 3 it Cleveland and will be quietly inferred on
 Monday. Ft...r. Vice. President Arthur took the oath of off Iice as President at New York, Tuesday mor- ping, and went on to Long Branch on Tuesday, afternoon. Mrs. Garfield bore the death of her husband as bravely as she has borne the anxieties of his protracted illness. Her own health isl rail and one of her sons is sick at Williams College. She received telegram of sympathy from the Queen of England; and many like| messages from friends in this country. Overl 1880, 900 was added, on Tuesday, to the sub s:ription paper started in her behalf by Mir. Cyrus W. Field. The autopsy shows that the ball not takel the course the doctors had supposed and thatI lit was not the ultimate cause of death The| fatal result was occasioned by blood from anI 'artery pouring into the cavity of the abdomen The ball itself was found encysted only twoI or three inches from the back bone. TheE Hong canal supposed to have been the track of |the ball was burrowed out by pus from theb wound. A large abscess was found near theE gall bladder and smaller ones on the kidneys. The lungs. especially the right one was badly diseased Thrse seems little doubt that theE President was suffering from blood poisoniugE from the large abscess near the liver and from sthose on the kidneys.
