The FOreshadowing OF the Garfield
Policy


Rev. J. H. Smith, of Brooklyn, who
at the last election was elected to Con-
ersas By the Republicans In place Of MIR.
Hills friend Chittenden, and who 1t
seems is on terms of intimacy. with Presi-
dent Garfield recently preached ser
mon in New York, in which, alluding
to his visit to Mentor, he said:
II went there (that is to Mentor) upon
invitation of General Garfield. In my
interview with the President.elect told
him believed he was going to be the
President of the whole country-not of
a section, nor party, nor faction of
a party, alone. but of the whole people.
His two large eyes looked into my face
like twin republics. as he replied: While
l am superintendent Of this national
farm shall allow no man to interfere
with me, and, by the grace of God. 1t
will grow the largest crops Of prosperi-
~. peace and happiness the country has
ever known. But while am managing
shall permit no man. / finished the
sentence for him: TO enter upon
your field, and call it Garfield. That's
just 1t, he said He has risen above
political factions and alliances, and will
be the President of the whole nation.
told him / had no favors to ask and was
too small to extend any. had simply
come to say that while he was President
and was a Congressman If could
serve him in any way l should be proud
to do so. have been ridiculed for say
ing this l do not care; l repeat 1t. l
did not say it as partisan, and hold
that what aid | can extend to q Presl-
dent as Congressman | shall extend, and
it is due him that should, so long as he
is President, not of party, but OF the
whole country. When he ceases to be
that he should be dismissed, and is un-
worthy of the support of any one"
These are remarkable declarations,
and have been made in remarkable
manner, seemingly by authority and per
mission of the President-elect. The
gentleman who has thus spoken was
fresh from an interview with Mr.. Gar
field, brought about by his invitation;
aud the relations, both personal and
political, between the two seem to be OF
the closest and most intimate descrip-
ton. In addition, the disclosures above
quoted were made with Fermentation
and for the evident purpose of fore
shadowing Dir. Garfeld's sentiments. 1t
will be observed also that the views pre-
scented by Mr. Smith are in perfect har-
mony with the general tone of the inau-
gural address.

ROLLER SKATES. largest manu-
factories of roller skates are in Detroit.
Mich, and other cities in the West, and
in Wolcotville and Unionville, in Massa-
chusetts. Now they are in greater de
mand than ever, and are manufactured
in many varieties. The newest designs
are the most expensive, and are called
"oscillating rollers" They are provided
with two pairs of lockwood wheels or
rollers, set wide apart in a metal rack
which rests upon rubber pad, so as to
permit the movement of the rollers from
side to side. This continuance permits
the skater to perform an imitation Of the
elmer edge" and "outer edge" short
turns and curves, Of ice skating. Bank
and telegraph messengers are mounted
on roller skates in Chicago and Detroit,
where the pavements are very smooth
and level, and they go about their work
much more expeditiously and easily than
when obliged to walk.

A COLD FLOODED FTEND.-A most re-
voting butchery was recently perpe-
trated in the little town of China, in
Maine Charles Merrill, 6end only
twenty-three years old. who had cher
ished an apparently causeless resentment
against his mother, killed her with a
hammer on February 10Th, cut her body
to pieces with an axe, burned some parts
of it in stove and fireplace, and buried
the rest, and in the intervals of his
CHASTITY work, which occupied a full
week, slept and ate in apparent peace of
mind, and attended to the various duties
of the house and farm. OF course, sus-
picion finally ripened into conviction,
and last Sunday morning he was ar
rested. He now is supposed to exhibit
some regret, but, on the whole, appears
tranquil and contented.

WHAT rs LIFE9

Say, what is life! A feeble flower
Declining as it blooms;
Which bears at heart the whitening power,
The canker that consumes;
A wintry cloud, an April beam,
A stage for empty strife,
A waking thought, troubled dream,
All! such is life!
A web of checkered hopes and fears,
A bubble on the wave
A shade, composed OF smiles and tears
A pilgrim to the grave!
A bark upon the waters tossed,
(The sport Of storm and strife),
Her rudder gone, her anchor lost
All! such is life,
And what is DEATH A dreaded doom
To pleasures gilken slave;
Who fears to sleep amid the gloom
That wraps the silent grave,
To quit the scene of earthly joys,
Oh, who would yield his breath?
Resign ambitions silded toys,
To welcome death?
The soul that feels affliction's pang,
To life's dark ills prey,
Scars to the source from whence It aprang,
And spurns the cumbrous clay.
No more may terrors shake my breast
Or waste my feeble breath!
Death rocks the cradle of our rest,
Then welcome DEATH

THE NEW MONETARY CoNFERENCE.-
le new monetary conference will meet
April. 1t assemblies on the invitation
the governments Of France and the
lited States. Intelligence now leads
the belief that the German Govern
mt, while it does not join in the call
the conference, is in sympathy with
objects, and that the British Govern
mt will send representatives. Persons
70 have taken interest in the prelimi-
ries say that the former conference
only a reconnaissance, and since that
citing the pressure of events has
lnged opinion in Europe to an impor-
degree, and there is now reason to
ieve that the conference will come to
ctical results on the question of the
neral reconciliation of silver. By
aonetization is meant, of course, the
,eral free coinage of the metal, at
ne ratio with gold to be agreed on by
. great nations.

EMERsoN's QUARTETs AND CHoRUsEs
FOR MALE VOICES. Emerson pre-
pares this book in response to the request
of many musical friends for something
OF the kind that was "easy and attrac-
tive, and for male voices" In obliging
these friends, he has also conferred a
benefit on the singing public, as the col
lection is throughout attractive as well
as easy, and the compass of the music is
quite within the reach of ordinary singers.
There are forty-three quartets in the
book, few very short, most of them
medium length, and two or three quite
long. The book is compact and porta-
BILE, and easily carried 10 ones overcoat

DRY board, constituted to advise the Gov

BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS IN PHILADRL-

woman who ventures into the streets at

accretion of three months unimaginable

ton. There is pestilence in the air. Be

construction to connect the Canadian
system with the Northwest territory at
Edmonton, and within few years the
connection will be established with
British Columbia. 1t is proposed to
connect the Canadian cable with Aus

AS the Whitaker trial drags its weary
length along facts are being constantly
developed which prove that the colored
candidate for military honors committed
the outrage upon himself. Whitaker,
with that cunning which distinguishes his
race, resorted to the practice of Sitting
bis own ears for the purpose of gaining
the sympathy of his instructors and the
country at large, hoping by these means
to obtain a commission which his mental
capacity does not entitle him to- The
ease with which Lieutenant Burnett tied
himself as Whitaker was when found,
and the clear manner in which he illus
trated his ability to cut his ears while so
bound, has been sufficient to dispel the
doubt which has been lingering in the
minds of many concerning Whittaker's
guilt, and now the colored cadet stands
convicted in the eyes of the people as
being the originator of a well executed
plan to bring contumely on the good
name of his white comrades, and by so
doing become martyr to his color and
the possessor Of a pair Of shoulder-straps.
