Letter of Sympathy to Mrs Garfield

We publish, by request, the following letter
from the students of Union Theological Semi
nary to Mrs. Garfield
HAMPDEN SIDNEY, VA, Sept 26, 1881.
Mrs. James a. Garfield:
Dear Madam,-We the students of Union
Theological Seminary would hesitate to address
you In this the hour of your deep bereavement.
If we did not feel that at this time when the
heart OF the whole nation is beating in sym
pathy with your sorrow, we would do violence
to our feelings if we refrained from the expires
sion of our Christian sympathy.
From the time when the bitter news of Julv
I'd first reached us, until the time when we
learned that death had released your husband
from his sufferings, our prayers went up un-
ceaslngly to the Throne of Grace. that it wouId
please God In His mercy TO spare him to his
family, his friends, and his country. But it
seemed good to Him who seeth not as man seetb
to deny this prayer. We cannot fathom the
ways of Divine Providence; it seemed as if
peace and happiness had once more dawned on
our land. A man was at the head of our gov
ernment whom we could look to as the PTesi
dent OF the whole country, in whose good will
we could trust, and on whose word we conld
rely. 1t has pleased God to remove him in the
midst OF career that promised TO be one of such
usefulness. And while we bow in humble
submission to this affective dispensation we
rejoice that he whom we mourn was enabled
by the abounding grace of our blessed Lord, To-
witness good confession before God and this
people. We rejoice that death to him, as we
humbly hope was a passing from glory unto
glory, and that he now lives and reigns with
Him who bought us with His own precious blood
While this dspensatIon is national sorrow
we know that yours is grief which none can
approach unto, and in which we can only com
mend you to the God of all grace and consola-
ton That He may enable you to recognize
II is hand IN all that seemeth unto Him good that
He may sustain you by the consultations of His
word, and the invoking of His Spirit and that
In Ills own good time you and your whole
family may meet in joyful reunion before His
presence in glory is the fervent PRAYER of ali
the students Of this institution. As the repre-
sentatives n;.ti OF which we subscribe ourselves,
With Christian sympathy and fellowship

The commissaire de police, to whom we
apply for admission, is exceedingly cour-
teous, and we find ourselves the specta-
tors of an educational mise en- scene, such
as probably only France, with its love of
" effects, could produce. The boxes, gal
lery, and back pit are thronged by an
appreciative and well-dressed audience,
amid which few white caps mingle
The pit itselfis filled by young collegians
OF all ages and sizes, some in their Lycee
uniform and some in plain clothes. Car
peted steps lead up to the stage-the
space on either side being crowded with
lovely howers-and on the stage itself
seated amid the scenery and backed by
flag surrounded bust of the Republic, are
the divers professors, among whom move
stately personages in long black gowns
and wondrous broad shoulder-knots with
purple and yellow streamers These lat
ter, We learn, are members of the Admin
istration. AS the more studious scholars
receive their prizes they are recalled
again and again, and the place echoes
with the applause. The be-ribboned
gownsmen, with graceful custom, hand
the prize to the master who has taught
the successful pupil, and we note that
while some pass the gift with an air of
apparent Indifference, others beam all
over and heartily grasp the winners
hand, while one bright faced young
teacher went the length of embracing his
smiling pet pupil on both cheeks. At
intervals the band strikes up, and we
momentarily fancy that it is theatrical
roth ho
point in many young lives. Dramatic or
no, however, we are glad to note the uni
versal interest which is being awakened
in France in behalf of education. Jules
Ferrey Gambetta, and many of the most
enlightened statesmen of France are
championing education as the means by
which the Republic is to be conserved
and consolidated. The culture of her
children is indeed an important question,
but intelligence is not the sole foundation
of Republic, else those of Greece would
never have toppled down. Rousseau, who
had sometimes sudden and grand illumi-
nations, has written these remarkable
words" Modern governments are un-
doubtedly indebted to Christianity on
the one side for the frmness of their
authority, and on the other for the
heightened intervals between revolu-
tions" emile I, 4). And Montesquien
has said: There is no doubt Christianity
has created among us the political right
we recognize in peace ased the right of
nations we respect in war, for the benefits
OF which the human race shall never be
sufficiently grateful" Esprit de Lois,
chap. 3. France demands a common
school for her children. She requires a
God more. "No7a est potestaS misi q

was very large congregation present In the
absence of the Rev. DR.. John Hall, the Rev.
Moses D. Hoge, D. D., of Richmond Virginia,

simply but appropriately decorated, the galleries
and organ loft being festooned in black bunting
caught up by white rosettes. Dr. Hoge spoke
In touching manner of the feeling of the South
in regard to the calamity which has befallen
the Nation. He said: "I can speak for the
people l represent, for those whom love, and
whose interests and sympathies are mine.
can bear testimony to the fact that your sorrow
is their sorrow and your bereavement equally
their own. There is a solid South, but not in
the low sense in which politicians use the phrase
but In the nobler sense of people united with
you In the bonds of a common grief and in
the determination to uphold the prosperity,
the happiness, and the glory of the Union,
without the surrender of one Just principle
which is dear to the hearts of the Southern
people and honestly maintained by them. To-
day Richmond and Augusta, Savannah and
Charleston, New Orleans and Vicksburg unite
with New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago in
laying their immortelles on the bier of the
martyr President. Now the time has come for
peace and for the true unity of the States"

The old Cunarder Persia, in it's day
the finest vessel a1oat, took six tons of coal to
carry ton Of freight across the Atlantic. The
Arsond, new steamer about twice the size of
the Persia, takes a fifth Of ton. These changes
have greatly reduced freghts and enabled
dealers to place grain and other American farm
products in the English markets at a much
lower rate than formerly. This fact and the
succession Of bad crops, has had depressing eff.
feet on the value Of English farms. Many are
now offered at one-third Of the rent obtained

ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAw.-What
We especially need in the country
is the rigid enforcement of the laws.
Every man who violates the peace
and dignity of community. or ap-
propriates to himself that which
belongs to another, should speedily
and adequately he punished. When
ever it becomes a settled under.
standing that men cannot escape
punishment nor 'get off light"
crime will materially lessen in our
country. Let Us have no favortism,
ho eversights, no negligence, but the
laws enforced to the letter against
all bulldozers and offenders, who
ever they mey be. We must neces-
sarily depend upoL our Grand
Juries. our officers and courts alone
for protection. peace and quietness
and safety.-Webster Tribune.
Let it be unequivocally demon.
strated that any violation of law will
will meet with swift, unerring, deci-
sive punishment, and there will be
tremendous decrease in the in
frlngement OF existing statutes. So
long as the laws are administered
with the laxity SO greatly prevalent,
Just 81 long will there be no diminu-
ton IN crime.-Natchitoches Nindi-

crushed in an argument. He had
the best of it, and was walking the
room the more strongly to lay down

down, James, you look taller sitting
down." It made him so mad that
he could not say another word.
