What Congress will do for Mrs. Garfield is acts passed in relation to the widow of Abra- ham Lincoln are of interest. The first act, passed when Congress came together after the assassination of President Lincoln, was as follows: ''That the Secretary of the Treasury pay, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to Mrs. Mary Lincoln, widow of Abraham Lincoln, late President of the United States, or, in the event of her death before payment, to the lawful heirs. the sum of $25, ,00O; pro- vided always that any sum of money which shall have been paid to the personal represen- sAtlVes of the said Abraham Lincoln since Ills death on account of his salary as President of the United States for the current year, shall be deducted from the said sum of $25,- 0OO." The amount thus granted to Mrs. Lincoln was the salary of the President for one year. Now that salary is $50,00o. In February, 1866, Congress passed the follow ing act ''That all letters and packages car ried by post to and from Mary Lincoln widow of the late Abraham Lincoln, be carried free of postage during her natural life" In 1870 the following act was passed: ''That the Secretary of the Interior be, and is hereby authorized, to place the name of Mary Lin coin, widow of Abraham Lincoln, deceased, late President of the United States, on tho pension roll, and allow and pay her pension at the rate of $3,O0O per annum from and after the passage of this act.''

Sergeant NInsOn's Shot.


 WASHINGTON, Sept 27-''If it had not been for Sergeant Mason's hurry" said soldier of the Second artillery day, 'Gui- teau would have been out of the way by this time. We had arranged everything" sad he, ''and would have carried out our plan on the following night. Mason's individual fire had nothing to do with us and indeed 1t broke up the whole thing, for that night he was removed to cell where no one can shoot him from the outside if they want to-"
 THE CONSPIRACY.
 The soldier then detailed all the prelimina- ries in regard to the organization of the con spiracy. Said he to the He1aEd correspond ent '.Now that the whole thing is matter of the past I will tell you about it. We were sick of the duty we were doing guarding the iail being required to remain on the outside. One of the non-commissioned officers sug- eested that as Guiteau would be hanged we may as well shoot him and thus avoid the ex- pense and trouble of trying him. That even- ing at supper one of the men asked him if he was serious about it. He replied that he was There were few words said about 1t and at least dozen said they would take part in it. The plan was Some morning or evening when we were relieved from guard duty for the whole party to march as near the jail as could get and then go through some kind of a drill, so as to attract Guiteau's attention to us. We were to go through the form of loading and un- loading several times, and then at the signal the whole party was to let go at Guiteau. The whole crowd firing together we would be equally guilty and none of us would ever know which of us fired the ball that took effect. Mason heard of it in some way, and, SO as to steal the credit from us, fired at him alone He missed him. Had we all worked together and fired together one of us would have certainly killed him and the chances are that none of us would ever receive any pun ishment for it..

THE WORKING OF AN ENGLISH LAW

l THE WORKING OF AN ENGLISH LAW.
 How law will work cannot be told until
 1t is tried. This truth IS strikingly illustrated
 by the working of the Employers Liability I act, passed by the British Parliament about
 eight months ago. The act was passed to
 please the trade unions, whose members had
 for long time vigorously demanded that
 something be done to protect them against | and partially compensate them for accidents
 which they might receive by reason of their | employers neglect and careessness Natu- | rally, the employers were afraid of the act, and they went to work in various ways to
 protect themselves against what they SUD- | posed would happen. They had imagined
 that employees would hasten, upon trivial pre- | texts, to sue for damages. It was predicted
 that lawyers would encourage litigation out of which they could-Eeap a harvest of fees
 In order to prepare themselves for these as-
 saults upon their treasuries the iron trades ] the master builders, the coal masters and 1 some other powerful associations raised large funds to defend themselves against unjust
 suits. Others expressed their willingness to
 pay all reasonable claims without hesitation
 They estimated from past data the prob- able cost of indemnifying their employees for injuries received through the negli- gence and carelessness of the latter as well as of the employers themselves, and were pleased to find that the men could be fully insured for premium as low as two to four shillings per e10O paid in wages. This class of associations adopted a mutual insurance plan on the above basis. Still another mode of anticipating the possible consequences of the act was by obtaining from the employees, on acceptable terms, a release of all claims that might arise under the act. For exam pie, the London and Northwestern Railway Company secured the consent of 5O,OOO of its men to such an arrangement on condition that the company pay e5,ooo yearly into a life and accident insurance fund for their benefit
 But thus far these elaborate preparations do not seem to have been needed. Since the l act was passed only one suit for damages has l been brought under it. This was an action | against an employer to recover for the loss ! of a foot sustained by farm laborer while | working with defective drilling machine. | The jury awarded the plaintiff the equivalent l of three years wages. It is not likely that | workmen will take unfair advantage of the | law in the future any more than they have up | to the present time. It is certainly not for | their interest to do so.

A Public Library Wanted.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 A public library is real necessity in acity like New Haven. Now that winter is com ing on, the question arises how will all the young people of New Haven spend their leis- ure time? The answer quickly comes: At balls, parties, theaters, beer saloons and bill Hard halls Are these educating and refn- ing influences to the men and women of our city? Are not the higher and more educated classes responsible for the good behavior of the masses ? If good and wholesome food for the mind is not placed before them we must answer for it. It will not do to evade this question Good reading is the best edu- cator of the mind San Francisco, Boston, Hartford, Waterbury, have their public It. braries At Hartford the charge for draw Ing books is about twelve cents per month. Our venerable State House, massive in it's architecture, would be @ most suitable build ing for city library, free to all, and small charge only demanded for using the books. The rooms of the different floors could be thrown into hall with galleries on the sides, so that all available space could be utilized for reading matter. Some of our wealthy manufactories would no doubt aid in creat- ing such 0 library.

 Fallen with autum'ns falling leaf
 Ere yet his summers boon was past, Our friend, our guide, our trusted chief What words can match woe so vast. And whose the charter claim to speak
 The sacred grief where all have part, When sorrow saddens every cheek
 And broods in every aching heart? Yet Nature prompts the burning phrase That thrills the hushed and shrouded hall The loud lament tn sorrowing praise, The silent tear that love lets fall. .s In loftiest verse, in lowliest rhyme,
 Shall strive unblamed the minstrel choir; The singers of the new born time
 And trembling age with outworn Tyre. No room for pride, no place for blame; We fling our blossoms on the grave Pale, see 4tless, faded-al. we claim,
 This only what we had we gave. An, could the grief of all who mourn
 Blend in one voice its bitter cry, The vail to heavens hi &h arches borne Would echo through the governed sky. O happiest land whose peaceful choice Fills with 6 breath it's empty throne God, speaking through thy peoples voice, Has made that voice for once his own. No angry passion shakes the State
 Whose weary servant seeks for rest And who could fear that scowling hate Would strike at that unguarded breast ? He stands unconscious Of his doom. In manly strength, erect, serene,- Around him summer spreads her bloom, He falls,-what horror clothes the scene. How swift the sudden Hash of woe
 Where all was bright childhood's dream ! As if from heavens ethereal bow
 Had leaped the lightL ing's arrowy gleam. Blot the foul deed from history's page- Let not the all -betraying sun Blush for the day that stains an age
 When murders blackest wreath was won. Pale on his couch the sufferer lies,
 The weary battle ground of pain Love tends his pillow science tries Her every art, alas in vain. The strife endures how long how long; Life, death. seem balanced in the scale, While round his bed viewless throng Await each morrows changing tale. In realms the desert ocean parts
 What myriads watch with tear-filled eyes, His pulse beats echoing in their hearts, His breathings counted with their sighs. Slowly the stores of life are spent, Yet hope still battles with despair, Will Heaven not yield when knees are bent? Answer, o Thou that nearest pr.yer! But silent is the brazen sky
 On sweeps the meteors threatening trair,- Unswerving Natures mute reply, Bound in her adamantine chain. Not ours the verdict to decide
 Whom death shall claim or skill shall save The hero's life though Heaven deuied It gave our land martyrs grave. Nor count the teaching vainly sent How human hearts their griefs may share,- The lesson woman's love has lent What hope may do, what faith can bear Farewell! the leaf f-strown earth enfolds Our stay, our pride, our hopes, our fears, And autumn's golden sun baho ds A nation bowed, a world in tears.

THE WONDER

Is becoming universal as to how such an inl- mense sale could be created in Lowell for Hoops SARsAPARILLA. But, my friend, If you could stand behind our counter a week and hear what those say who are using it, the reason would appear as clear as the monday sun. The real curative power of Hoops SARsAPARILLA demonstrates itself in every case where directions are faith fully regarded. We would that we might get before the people fractional part of the confidence that is expressed to us every day in this medicine by those who have carefully noted (without prejudice) its effects upon the blood and through that upon the whole sys- tenn, stimulating all the functions of the body to perform the duties nature requires of them.

The plan of founding professorship at Williams college in memory of the late Pres ident commends itself to the general judg- ment as an eminently appropriate monument to the greatest son of that college. In the circular inviting subscriptions for the pur- pose, issued by a committee of the trustees, the character of the professorship is not mentioned, but it has been happily suggested that political science would be most appro priate, in view of the illustrious career of President Garfield in public life. Among those appointed to receive subscriptions are Rev. Dr. Pratt of the Hartford Theological seminary, and Rev. J. G. Davenport of Waterbury.
 President Arthur's course during the at tack upon the Tweed ring by the New York Times was not such as to give the Star route ring encouragement. MT. Jennings, then the editor of the Times, but now in London, writes: ''When began attack upon the Tammany ring the first man to come for ward with encouragement and friendly coun- sel was General Arthur. Throughout that contest he was far more active in helping to destroy the ring than some others upon whom had a right to depend for support. They often wavered and were disheartened, but in General Arthur found to the last staunch and unshaken ally" To this dorsement of his conduct at this peculiar exigency Mir. Jennings adds the following general tribute ''Through some years of anxiety and difficulty in public affairs, in which it was my lot to take no insignificant part, knew him intimately, and man of purer patriotism or loftier sense of honor I have never known in this or any other country.''

The Hon. Frederick Douglass, in the course of some eloquent remarks at memorial meeting of colored citizens in Washington, gave an account of a notable interview which he had with General Garfield soon after the 4th of March last. At that interview General Garfield spoke of his policy in regard to the colored people in respect to their position as part of the governing element of the coun- try. He said: Douglass, mean to take a step forward, not backward. I intend to send colored representatives not only to the col ored governments, but to the white govern ments. How do you think that they will be received ?'' General GarfeId,' MT. Doug lass replied, 'I am delighted to hear you say so. know that no race of people can be re- spected who are ignored by their own gov ernment have spent some time in Europe and I found that the farther we get up in the grade of culture and refinement the less prejudice exists against the race.'' General Garfield then offered to send Douglass abroad, but he declined to go, not wanting to leave the country.

Canon Hegarty, Roman Catholic divine, is sub- jected to the same process because he ina ported from Belgium some statuary for an altar piece for one of the city churches, and thus evinced want of appreciation of the merits of indigenous art.
