Wise Words.
Echoing from the Crave.

'sOhl sir; there are times in the history of
men and nations when they stand so near the
veil that separates mortals and immortals,
time from eternity, and men from their God
that they can almost hear the beating and feel
the pulsations OF the infinite. Through such
time has this nation passed. When two hum
dred and fifty thousand brave spirits passed
from the field of honor through that thin veil
to the presence of God, and when at last its
parting folds admitted that maTsyred President
to the company of the dead heroes of the Re
public, the nation stood so near the vail that
the whispers of Goa were heard by the child
rem of men. flames A. Garfield on the assas-
sination of President Lincoln.
sI have represented for many years Dis
trict in Congress whose appreciation 1 greatly
desired, but though it may seem, perhaps,
little egotistical to say it, L yet desired still
more the approbation'of one person, and his
name was Garfield. He is the only man am
compelled to sleep with, and eat with, and
live with, and die with, and if could not
have his appreciation l should have had bad
company. james A. Garfield before the
Ohio Senate, $780,
ssFrom the genius of our Governments, tne
pathway to honorable distinction lies open to
all. No post of honor so high but the poorest
boy may hope to reach it. 1t is the pride OF
every American that many cherished names
at whose mention our hearts beat with quick
or bound, were sworn by the sons Of poverty
who conquered obscurity and became fixed
stars in our armament James A. Garfield.
Individuals may wear for time the glory
of our institutions, but they carry it not to the
grave with them. Like raindrops from hea-
ven, they may pass through the circle OF the
shining bow and add to ito lustre, but when
they have sunk in the earth again the proud
arch still spans the sky and shines gloriously
on"-James A, Garfield.
"This day will be sadly memorable 50 long
as this nation shall endure, which God grant
may 5e, till the last syllable of recorded time,
when the volume of human history shall be
sealed up and delivered to the omnipotent
Judge.-James A. Garfield, on the first anni-
versary of the death of President Lincoln.
''I look forward with joy and hope to the
day when our brave people, one in heart, one
in their aspirations for freedom and peace,
shall see that the darkness through which we
have travelled was but part of that stern but
benefcent discipline by which the Great Dis
penser of Events has been leading us on to
higher and nobler national life."-James A.
Garfield.
eve hold reunions, not for the dead, for
there is nothing in all the earth that you and
can do for the dead. They are past our help
and past our praise. We can add to them no
glory-we can give to them no immortality,
They do not need us, but forever and forever
more we need them.-James A. Garfield.

THE Boston Journal has this praise and
kindly criticism of Mr.. Reeds speech:
The address of Congressman Reed will at
tract attention. Mr.. Reed is not only bril-
liant and able man, but he is thoroughly
honest and straightforward. In Congress he
will pursue that course which commends itself
to his judgment, regardless OF consequences.
He hates shams and he also entertains positive
views which he does not fail to express in
terms that cannot be misunderstood. All that
he says about the necessity of parties and OF
party organization we fully indorSe. The
reasons which he gives for being Republican
rather than Democrat are conclusive. 1t
would be we'll for the Republican party and
for the country if the people ruled every day
of the year as well as on election day, as Mr..
Reed says that they should. The difficulty In
the past, the danger in the future is that
public servants will forget that the people
have any part in the government except on
election days. We entertain the highest re-
gard for Mr.. Reed. We admire his frankness
and his robustness. We should have less APP
prehension if Congress should be made up OF
men of his intelligence and candor. And yet
there are few expressions in Mr.. Reeds
speech that are not quite worthy OF him. Ills
sneers at che press, which he will admit is the
most potent ally of the Republican party,
would better become a man whose dark ways
have been exposed by them. Journals are not
always discreet, but Mr.. Reed will admit that
the greater part of those OF the grade that have
positive influence are conducted by men who
are both intelligent and honest. He will also
admit that if Republican Congresses had fol-
lowed the advice of the average Republican
newspaper they would have escaped several
serious and almost fatal biunders. This being
the case, Mr.. Reed can afford to leave the
authors and supporters of salary grabs, etc, to
slur newspaper trials and editorial infalli-
bility as they have cause to regard RepuD Dli-
can journals as enemies, while he has abun-
dant reason to respect them as friends and
allies.

The President and his Doctors.

The account of President Garfeld's
wound with the illustrative engraving given
in the PRESS this morning will be read with
eager interest and mournful satisfaction.
The description Of the wound and the
course of the ball is admirably clear and
will make itself understood by all. 1t is
patent that the hurt was mortal from the
first, that the patient was past all surgery
on the second of July, and that the large
and beneficent resources of medical skill
could only prolong his life a. brief time and
assuage the agony Of his dying hours. We
can rest assured that all was done for him
that possibly could be done, that
the expedients o. the healing art were
exhausted in his behalf, and that no human
aid could avail him. That he lived as long
he did is the strongest testimony to the
faithfulness and professional skill of his
physicians.
In our impatience and anxiety and har-
assing solicitude, many of us have con-
demned the doctors and blamed them for
their. ignorance Of things beyond human
ken, and for their failure to prevent an in
evitable issue. We have been cruelty un-
Just. The medical treatment of the Presi-
dents case was as competent and judicious
as it has evidently been devoted. The
course Of the ball from Guiteau's pis-
tol, now just known, shows that the
wound was fatal from the first, and that all
that could be done was to alleviate, so far as
nossible, the suffering of strong man
Slowly wasting to death. That its course
was not sooner ascertained, and the newt
able results announced early in the case are
faults Of no one. They were beyond the
reach of knowledge as long as the President
lived
The Portland daily press., 1881-09-23

President Garfield, while still boy in
years, was man in brain and eloquence.
An old friend describes him as making a
fervid and mastery speech when about
twenty years old. sHe was tall and thin,
pale and rather delicate looking; his hair
long, straight and yellow, combed back
smooth after the manner of the youth Of his
time; his fine face softened with growth of
whiskers Enthusiastically fuzzy, like down, so
soft were they and fine. He had a slight
stoop, a habit which he took infinite pains
to correct. he was cool, passionless in
statement, aggressive with facts, modest in
opinions"
The Portland daily press., 1881-09-23

BosToN Traveller: Hon. Thomas B.
Reed, Of Maine, gave a good address
before the Republican State Conven-
ton at Worcester. Some. of our
readers may think he gave the Massachu-
sett Republicans a good talking to. No one
reading his speech viii doubt his Republic
anism. He believes in the principles of the
party, he has admiration for its past and
hope for its future, and he is not afraid to
say so. He is not ashamed to be called
party man, because he belongs tot party
which he believes in. He favors organiza-
ton, because it is necessary to success. He
evidently has no respect for that golden
butterfly of glory" that fits from one party
to the other, because he does respect those
who have principles and stalwartly main
tain them. 1t is a speech that will be re-
membered by all who heard it and will find
an echo in the heart of every true Republic
an who reads it.

duction of a hippopotamus in the play. But we

Now is the time to clean all furs and robes.
and to pack them away safely for summer.
The sooner it is done the better, before the
moth has a chance TO get at them. Furs need
thorough brushing so as to get out all the
dust; and robes can be beaten well with
whip to be made perfectly clean. All rips
should be sewed, in readiness for next winter.
Then, when well cleaned, sprinkle tobacco
over the fur side, and fold them together and
roll up tightly and tie with cord. Gloves,
caps, collars and furs, after cleaning, may be
sprinkled with tobacco, rolled up and put in
to linen or paper bag. A tight wooden
chest is the best thing to keep them in. AZ
ter packing closely, cover the top with news
papers or cloth, and drop few drops of
spirits of turpentine over it. Shut the cover
tight, and you need have no fears for their
safety till next fall, when they will require a
good shaking and airing. and look as good as
new.
have tried camphor gum, cedar, strong
herbs, like spearmint and pennyroyal, and
find nothing so perfectly reliable as tobacco
for keeping out moths. Spirits of turpen-
tine retains its odor a long time, and is ex-
cellent to put into drawers and closets to
keep off flies and moths but think for furs
and fannels, tobacco is the surest. Mittens,
nubias, underwear and hose need 10 be wash
ed well, mended and packed away till needed.
Blankets, too, must be cleaned before LAYING
away. A lady friend, who is very particular
says she smokes blankets and underwear with
burning sulphur, and it not only whitens
them but efectually prevents their being in
jured by moths or flies. It is very much
nicer to have all such things packed in safety
than it is to have them lying around in the
way and getting ruined by neglect and it is
comforting thought that they will be ready
for next winter. Farmers Wife IN Country

''The merciful man is merciful to his beast"
and heneeforth even drovers can be merciful,
il they will, to the cattle they take to market
by rail A Cincinnati man has invented and
built ''parlor cattle-car," one of which has
arrived in New York, and excites no little at
tention among cattle-shippers. 1t is some
what larger than the ordinary cattle. car, which
usually accommodates from IA TO II head
The parlOr car accommodates 20, and with
ample room. The stalls ON each side are ar
ranged diagonally, and the partition boards
have such spring that they will allow of Sc
we're strain without bruising the cattle. In
each stall is fixed bucket of galvanized iron
Over each stall is bin holding two bushels
OF grain. When lever is turned, five quarts
of grain are emptied from each bin into the
bucket. Water is carried in tank in the top
of the car. At the desired time seven quarts
of water are turned into the bucket by NOV
ing lever. The floor slopes from either side
to the centre of the car, where at intervals
iron gratings are placed. The cattle can lie
down when they please, and the partitions
between them prevent their interfering with
each other. The ordinary loss in the weight
of cattle on a three days trip is from eight to
IL per cent. Those brought in this car from
Cincinnati were out three days and lost only
y per cent The car costs about $500 more
than one of the old style.
