At Chickamagua, eighteen years ago, Gen.
Garfield was chief of staff to Gen. Rosecranz,
whose right wing was broken and driven
back by the vehement charges of Bragg's
forces, and was carried along with the broken
masses almost into Chattanooga, when he
begged for the privilege of returning to
(join Gen. G. II. Thomas, whose guns told
him that that heroic man still stood fast with
his left wing. Gen. Rosecraus gave him leave
and he did return, running the
gauntlet, joining Gen. Thomas, serv-
ling close to him till night
enabled them to fall back in good order on
IChatanooga. That was Gen. Garield's last
know he intended to be at Chickamauga
next Wednesday to celebrate the event.
1t was ordered otherwise, for now he
lies by the seashore on his deathbed from a
wound inflicted by the miserable wretch,
EGuiteau. For this man Guitean, ask no
soldier, no citizen, to feel one par
Etlcle of sympathy. On the con-
Rtrary, could make my will
good for him. But do ask the soldier and
citizen to remember that we profess TO be the
most loyal nation on earth to the sacred
promises of the law There is no merit in
4obeying an agreeable law, but there is glory
land heroism in submitting to
Ian oppressive one. Our constitution
lreads, "No person shall be held to answer for
e capital or otherwise Infamous crime unless
lon presentment or indictment of the grand
Jury, and in all criminal prosecutions the ac.
|cused shall enjoy the right to speedy and
public trial by an impartial jury
IOf the state and district wherein the crime
shall have been committed" This is the
solemn contract of the government, binding
lon the conscences of all. Should our presi-
dent die, the murderer is entitled to a speedy
trial by jury, and I hope he will have justice
done him.
But it is net my Office, nor yours, or any
body, only the regular courts of this district,
which are in undisputed power. Violence in
any form will bring reproach on US all, on
|the country at large, and especially on us
Iof the District of Columbia.
3AI the circumstances of the
shooting, of the long heroic struggle for life,
impress me SO strongly, that would be
ASHAMED of my countrymen, if they Iaingled
with their feelings OF grief any thought of
vengeance. vengeance is mine saith the
Lord"
trust the public will order its powerful in
!fuence to maintain the good order and de-
Icorum which have prevriled since the saddest
|of all days in Washington, July 2, 1881.

A Nocturnal Ramble and What Came
nf IL

Some genius-we suspect him to be-
long to the jovial order Of humanity
has said: 'sThe day to drone and dream,
the night to learn and ramble." We do
not propose to dispute this worthy's
view of the matter, but present herewith
the experience of Philadelphia jour
nalist, Mr.. William FL. Cunnington,
1712 North Twentieth Street, one of
whose Nocturnal rambles he thus refers
to, beginning his narration rather
peculiarly, however: CT am not a rheu-
matte, and have been troubled very lit
tie with bodily pains. Last Tuesday
morning L experienced very annoying
stiffness of the neck, which grew worse
as the day wore on. Toward evening it
became very severe, and | could
scarcely turn my head in any di-
rection. Arriving home at tea time,
it was with difficulty that I could
eat my meal. My wife wanted to
rub my neck with st. Jacobs Oil, but
[ refused, saying [ thought the Attic
ton would soon pass away. Tea over,
against the circumstances of my family,
I left home to ramble toward the new
Chestnut Street Opera House, about
two and a-half miles from my residence.
I started in the midst of heavy snow
storm, and remained at the theatre
until the close of the performance, al
though I could feel my neck getting
worse and becoming very painful.
Leaving the play the trouble came to
reach home. The storm continued; the
car in which / was became blocked in
nearly every square, cold current of
air swept through the car, and l did not
reach my home until toward A. NJ, by
which time my neck had become abso-
lutely rigid. Then l consented to the
use of st. Jacobs Oil, which my wife
applied two or three times before I
arose. I continued it's use that day and
by evening I was free from pain, and
the next morning J. amused myself by
twisting my neck in any direction that
suited me, and hot vestige of stiffness
remained. "-Boston Herald.

How to Please Company.
From the Spectator.1


The true art of being agreeable is to
appear well pleased With all the COM
pany, and rather to seem well entertained
with them than to bring entertainment
to them. A man thus disposed, per-
haps, may not have much learning nor
any wit, but if he has common sense and
something friendly in his behavior, it
conciliates mems minds more than the
brightest parts without disposition; and
when man of such turn comes to old
age he is almost sure to be treated with
respect. It is true, indeed, that we
should not dissemble and flatter in COM
pany; but man may be very agreeable,
in strict consistency with truth and sim
cerity, by prudent silence, where he can
not conquer, and by pleasing assent
where he can. Now and then you meet
with a person SO exactly formed to please
that he will gain upon everyone that
hears or beholds him; this disposition is
not merely the gift of nature, but fire.

A TINsMITH in Memphis, Tenn, has
hoaxed half the city by means of a hid
den battery connected with a clock in
his workshop. The clock was made to
respond to questions by the ringing of
the bell, and the credulous found the
"answers wonderfully correct. The
tinsmith was SO delighted by the success
of his deception that he could not keep
the knowledge of it to himself longer
than four days.

A STORY with moral comes from
Oneida County, N. Y, which should be
elaborated into a Sunday school book.
Sylvester Smith is bad man, and be-
coming enraged at one of his COWS for q
bit of bonfire mischief, he tied the poor
animal to shed and let it starve to
death. 1t lived seven weeks without
food and died skeleton. Sylvester
was soon after afflicted with a nameless
malady that puzzled the doctors, and be-
came unable to take food. Every
resource known to medical science was
resorted to without success, and he
slowly starved to death.

An ENGLISH Robber at Rome.
[From the London TRUTH

A gentleman was standing the other
evening in one Of the shadowy arcades
of the Coliseum at Rome, when he was
somewhat brusquely hustled by a pass
ing figure. With a quick instinct he
clapped his hand to his watch pocket.
His watch was gone! He darted after
the thief, who turned sharply round at
the same time clutching watch. :" Give
me that watch p A dash--the stolen
property was recovered. The startled
robber disappeared, and the gentleman
went home to boast of his adventure and
his powers. What was his CONSERVATION,
on entering his bedroom, to find his own
watch, which he had forgotten to put on,
staring him in the face from the mantle
piece He had been the thief and the
other wretched man had stumbled over
him in the dark; and when overtaken and
stopped was merely clutching his own
watch, which he had not the nerve to
rescue from the tourist. That tourist is
known to wide and admiring circle of
friends as the s'Bandit of the Coliseum. :"

THE GOLDEN FLOWER.
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.


Ere Advent dawps with lessening days,
While earth awaits the angels hymn,
When bare as branching coral sways
In whistlng winds each leaf1ess limb,
When Spring is but spendthrift's dream,
And Summers wealth a wasted dover
Nor dews nor sunshine may redeem,
Then Autumn col las his Golden Flower.
Soft was the vioets vernal hue,
Fresh was the roses morning red,
Full-orbed the stately dahlia grew,
All gone Their short-hved beauty shed;
The shadows frightening stretch at noon,
The fields are stripped, the groves are dumb,
The frost-howerg greet the icy MOON
Still blooms the bright Chrysanthemu1n.
The stiffening turf is white with snow;
Undimmed its radiant disks are seen,
Where soon the hallowed morn will show
The wreath and cross of Christmas green,
AS if in Autumn's dying days
1t heard the heavenly song afar
And opened all its living rays
The herald-lamp of Bethlehem's star.
Orphan of Summer, kindly sent
To cheer the waning years decline,
Of all that plying heaven has lent,
No fairer pledge of hope than thine;
Yes June ies hid beneath the snow
And Winters unborn heir shall claim
In every seed that sleeps below
spark that kindes into flame.
Thy smile the scowling storm-cloud braves,
Last of the bright-robed fowery train,
Soft signing DER their gard sn-graves
Farewell! farewell! we meet again!
So may ife's chill November bring
Hopes golden flower, the last of all
Before we hear the angels sing
Where blossoms never fade and fall.
