The Feeling of Grief in England.

 LONDON, Sept. 2O.-The morning and af- ternoon papers all comment upon the death of President Garfield and the political and financial consequences which are likely to follow it. The E0ening Globe says that General Garfield died as the old Greek wished to die, ''while yet gathering honors,' D and that he lived long enough to give prom lse of winning high rank among the able administrators who have preceded him. The Globe recommends President Arthur now to adhere to Mir. Garfeld's policy and thus to perpetuate the tranquility and prosperity which the country enjoyed under President Garfeld's too brief administration.
 The StandGrd says that since Prince AL bert's death and the almost fatal illness of the Prince of Wales, the heart of the English nation, has not been so moved as it is to-day over the intelligence that President Garfield is dead. ''We were all proud of him." says the Standard. eve recognized in him the true patriot, the upright and honest gentle man and the brave man. The entire civilized world execrates the crime which robbed the American country of valuable citizen and society of an honorable member"
 The American colony in London under the guidance of Minister Lowell are organizing demonstration of sympathy and a meeting to adopt suitable resolutions of grief and of coincidence with Mrs Garfield
 The Methodist Ecumenical Congress at it's session to-day adopted resolution express Ing their great sorrow at the death of the President and their sympathy with his be- reaved family
 The P0H N0U Gazette says that President Garfield represented the fine flower of Amer Ican citizenship, and displayed in himself the highest characteristics of manliness and homely virtue.
 The St- Jdn1es Gazette advocates an amend ment to the American constitution providing for fresh election by the people when the President dies in office.
 The following is the text of the Queens dispatch to MT. Lowell today: with deep grief and my children have learned the sad but not unexpected news of the death of President Garfield. His loss is a great mis- fortune to his country and is felt as sorrow by me-" The Prince of Wales has tele graphed to Mir. Lowell expressing his deep sorrow at the death of the President He asks Mir. Lowell to convey to Mrs. Garfield the coincidence of the Princess of Wales and of himself. The Secretary of State for for eign affairs, Earl Granville, has telegraphed to the English representative at Washington instructions to convey in the name of the government and of the country the expres- sion of their sympathy with the republic in It's present calamity.

CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 2O.-A special from Solon to the Penny POSt says:
 Grandma Garfield has been with her daughter Mrs. Larsbee, here for weeks She did not arise before o'clock this morning. and knew nothing of her sons death. It was the hardest task man was ever burdenei with to tell the good old lady the dreadful news. One of the family finally informed her that the President had died last night The poor old lady gave little scream and covered her face wi her hands. When she took away her hands tears were streaming down her pale cheeks, but upon her face shone that heroic resignation perceptible when she first heard that the President had been shot. She said 'sAh, my poor dear James, Gods will Then she left the family and retired to her room where she is alone with her grief

pension Of the paper, but we are happy
to say that such is not the fact The con-
troll of that able and pioneer American pa
son, Mr.. j. Mastela Clarke, q young man OF
splendid abilities, born at Fort Smith, Ar.
kansas, but resident in Mexico for
fifteen years, and as true q son
of the United States as ever lived. His
whole lineage teens with the spirit of pro.
gress. His mother was u daughter Of that
venerable Old northwestern pioneer, the
founder of Dosksville in the Choctsw nation.
His father, though born in the district of
Columbia, from his earliest manhood, was in
the advance guard OF civliz ,tion in western
Arkansas, the Iodian Territory and Kansas,
and, when tho war closed only shifted his
fsld Of labors to the capital of Mexico.
Mostela, well known to the writer, Is worthy
OF such wholesouled sire, and will make
the two republics wise vehicle through
which foreign ideas may be introduced in
that grand and wonderful country. He
knows the Mexican people and appreciates
their virtues but will labor wisely for the
development of their country.

bic audience at Craddock's Opera
house. This play was originally
called Peril, but met with poor favor in
New York under the INEXPENSIVE title.
Changed TO Love and Filtration at Long
Branch, it drew splenddly. Again pu. upon
tho boards by Mr.. Campbell as Matrimony
it has been brilliant success in all the
leading cities of the country. 1t sbounds
with ripping themes Of thought so beaut-
fully expressive that we scarcely know which
most to admire, the lustrous gem
itself or the exquisite beauty of its setting.
The moral is unexcelled, as shown by the
final result or the several processes by which
this is attained. 1t conveys most healthful
lesson to the .wouldbe airt, whether as q
young girl or as married woman.
1t teaches an equally strong
one to those who so soon forget
the duty they owe to the last, and pictures
as he should be pictured those who for a
little pssime tempt as!rsy those who are
good until man insidiously makes them
bsd.' Although much abbreviated last
night, IT paid high compliment to
the journalistic profession, and proved
how merit without money hnsl-
ly triumphed over moRey without
merit. 1t demonstrated tho danger of the
first false, careless steps which the victim
thinks the world perceives not, but which
inevitably lead to where they haye ever led
in the past. Power, rs Dick Seabrght, was
the same natural, strong actor that we SAW
him to be in the Galley Slave, and won
continuous plaudits for his representation.
John \. Ward, as Lawyer Dyke,
WAS admirable and kept tho
house in.good humor, and often put 1t in a
roar. AS Laura, Miss Ida Lewis, and as
Alice, Miss Deelie Palmer, were fully up to
their parts in every respect, and acted the
delineations Of the broken hearted loving
women 10 perfection. The other characters
were likewise good in their work, SO that all
together the play was success in the general
estimation.

1.-THE Classic Models"
st. Louis Republican.

St' bOus hepuDllcan.
The Boston Advertiser says: "Giyen n
good subject and competent mind, it is
doubtful lift could be written out 10 the
highest advantage With true prop-iety and
in perfect taste, unless the writer has been
train d on the simple and peerless models of
the Latin and Greek classics" The cor
rectness Of this statement is more than
doubtful. That knowledge Of the Latin
end Greek classics, if iudiciously used,
is of great advantage to the writer oil
will admit, but that such knowledge Is sb.
sou'ely indispensab to tbs highest style
Of writing cannot be conceded without bet.
ter evidence than the Advertiser produces,
Shakespeare, so says Ben. johnson, chad
small Latin, and less Creek" and vet wrote
we'll enough to the wonder and admiration
Of all succeeding ages. Burns had smaller
Latin and less Greek than Shakespeare,
yet competent judges have pronounced
his best prose not inferior TO his
poetry-and what his poetry Is the world
knows. Linculn's address at the Gettysbure
dedication IL justly regarded as a masters
piece of writing. Edward Everett who
delivered tho Grafton of the day and who
was sn'.exceptionally fine classical scholar,
SO declared, and predicted 1t would ou!
last bis own brilliant efort-as it has.
Yet Lincoln knew no language but tho
Eogl.sh. O.hor instances might DO given
bu. these are sufficient for our purpos.
Of course persons will diner as TO what is
"true propriety and in perfect TASTE" but
when the propriety is true enough and the
taste perfect enough to win immortality for
the writing they need 20 no further. II Is
probable, II not almost certain, that no
more than third of the most popular au-
thors in the various branches Of literature
we're, or are. so familiar with "the simple
and peerless models OF the Latin and Greek
classics" as to be consciously Influenced by
them. The time was when these models
were closely initiated by every writer who
sspired to permanent fame, but II is not 80
now, and the reading public 10 not sorry for
the change. An imitator now, however
good bis imitation, would get more blame
than praise. Il may DO shat popular taste
has deprecated, but l! 10 quite like that
the growth OF two thousands years
has necessitated the abandonment of the
classical style. II Herodotus and Thucydi.
des wero modern instead Of ancients, would
they be reverenced s they aref Would
not the critics mike haste 10
tear them 10 pieces? We do not ray they
would deserve such treatment, but would
they not receive III even from those who 40
strenuously insist upon tho superiority Of tn
ancient writer's.
