A STARTLING CHARGE.
An Allegation that Gen. Garfield


An Allegation that Gen. Garfield
Was Slain by the Surgeons.
The Chicago Times correspondent telegraphs
that journal from Washington, under date of
Sept. %, as follows: "Certain revelations
made to-day to the Iinpes correspondent by
an unquestoned authority, of the inner his
tory of the post-mortem examination of the
the body of Gen. Garfield will create shock
throughout the country second only to the as
that the President might have lived; at least
they show that the report of the autopsy is
false, and that, had it not been for Secretary
MacVeagh even q portion of the reluctant
truth placed in the report would have been
suppressed. What will the public think when
it learns that Gen. Garfield did not die
from any result of the wound made by
the bullet but from a cause that probably
could have been remedied in the early days of
the case? The original track of the wound
had fairly healed, and the ball itself had be-
come completely encysted. If it had not been
for the blood poisoning, the President would
have been well man to-day. The blood pol
soning proceeded from imperfect drainage of
the wound the second day.
A clot of blood that might have been taken
out with an aspirator was the cause Of the
blood-polsonlDg and the huge abscess upon
the kidney The spine was reported as in
iured in the autopsy, SO that this would
appear to be mortal hurt, but it is said upon
high authority that the post mortem revealed
nothing of this kind. The spinal column
was not harmed. and if there was slight
injury of the vertebra it would not in itself
have been serious. After the funeral is over,
Gen. Swain, an educated physician, and DIR.
Boynton will reveal the inner secrets of the
post norton. One of the most startling
features of the exposure will be the history OF
the search for the ball One hour was passed
in cutting for it. Then the bowels
were removed and placed loose in a
wash-bowl. Another hour was spent, and then
some one locked in the contents of the wash
bowl and discovered the encysted ball among
the intestines Yet the autopsy locates this ball
in the muscles of the back. Gen. Swain has
been so indignant over the report of the au-
topsy that nothing viii prevent him from tell
ing the true story to the public after Gen. Gar

POisOns,

We all have a great horror of being
poisoned, without exactly understanding
whatyit is Poison is a disorganization
of flesh and blood, or both. Poisons are
Of two kinds one the result of medici-
nal agents taken into stomach or circu-
lation, the other the result of bites or
stings of living creatures. ] will now
state two ideas, which, if generally known
and remembered, would save thousands
of lives every year. If you have swal-
lowed poison, whether laudanum, ar
senic, or any other thing poisonous, put
tablespoonful Of ground mustard in a
glass of water, cold or warm, stir and
swallow quickly, and instantaneously the
contents of the stomach will be thrown
up, not allowing the poisonous substance
time to be absorbed and taken into the
blood and. as soon as vomiting ceases,
swallow the white of one or two new
eggs, for the purpose of antagonizing
any small portion Of the poison which
may have been left behind. Let the
reader remember the principle, which is,
to get the poison out Of you as soon as
possible; there are other things which
will have a speedy emetic effect, but the
advantage of mustard is, it is always at
hand, it act instantaneously, without any
after medicinal effects. The use Of the

but the backbone, and are sold both fresh
and sailed. The method OF catching
them is something like whaling, minus
the danger. The smacks are provided
with rest on the bowsprit, from where
the fisherman darts barbed lance into
the fish, detaching the pole from the
boat after it is securely lodged in the
fish, a rope attached to the barb and
made fast on board securing him until
he, after sinking and struggling for a
greater or less time. Is killed.

Butter from Cotton-Seed Oil.

Two gentlemen of this city, after ex-
perimenting for several months, have
at last discovered or invented method
Of making excellent butter out of cotton
seed oil. Being of purely vegetable
nature, it will not have the enemies to
combat that so vigorously and rancor-
ously assail the oleomargarine, which
is manufactured from animal oils. The
inventors propose to make two grades
of this vegetable butter, which they
claim to be far superior to all other
kinds of artificial butter yet made, and
at the same time profess that they viii
be able to sell it at much less price.
After series of trying and vexatious ex-
periments coloring matter was discov-
cred that gives the article most ex-
quisite yellow tint, equal to that assumed
by the finest New York buffers. -Nesg

A Georgia School Teacher.

A colored "school marin" in this
county has number of men with fami-
lies attending school-one forty years
old. Among the number is the man
with whom she is boarding, and one of
the first to receive the rod of correction
was her landlord. He says she is right,
and if, while he attends her school, he
disobeys her commands or fails to COM
ply with her regulations, that she ought
to whip him, and his duty is to submit
to the chastisement without complaint.

Nay, frown not, fairest chide no mora
Nor blame the blushing wine.
It's fiery kiss is innocent,
When thrills the pulse with wilma
Then leave the goblet in my hand,
And veil thy glances bright,
Lest wine and beauty mipgling,
Should W. ack my soul tonight.
Then, sweetest, to the ancient rim,
In scuIptured beauty rare,
Bow down thy red-arched bps and qIlaR
The wine, that conquers care.
Or breathe upon the shining cup
Till that its perfume be
Sweet as the scent of orange caves
I. Upon some tropic sea.
And while thy fingers idly stray
In dallianee DER thy Tyre,
Sing to me, love, some rare old song
That gushed from heart of fire.
Songs such as Grecian phalanx hymned
When freedoms field was won,
And Persia's glory with the light
Faded at Marathon.
Sing till the shouts Of armed men
Ring bravely out once more;
Sing till again the ghost-white tents
Shine by the moonlit shore.
Bid from their melancholy graves
The buried hopes to start,
knew ere many a storm had swept
The dew drops from my heart.
Sing the deep memories Of the past,
My soul shall follow thee,
Its boundless depths re-echoing
Thy glorious minstrelsy.
And as the wild vibrations hang
Enfettered by the air,
I'll drink, thy white arm round mo, love,
In wine, that eonquers care.

BOLD ARKANSAS BANDITS,
Robbery of "a Train ON the Iron
Mountain Road by Three Despera-
dOes-MOre than $4,000 Captured
from the Express Car and Passen-


NEWPORT, Ark, Sept %.
At II o'clock last night the train on the Iron
Mountain railroad, while en- route for St. Louis,
was stopped near Hope by five masked men;
ono of whom took charge of the engineer while
the others entered the express car, presenting
reyolvers at the head of the express messenger
and demanding that the safe be instantly
opened. The demand was after brief expostu-
Iations complied with, and the robbers
carefully examined the safe, abstracting
the valuables and tossing them into sack
whichone of themheld. It was stated that they
secured 900. After going through the ex-
press they entered the passenger cars, calling
out in threatening tone, "Hold up your hands
if you value yonr lives" Many of the passen-
gers were not aware of what was going on in
the rear cars, and the appearance of the
robbers created an almost indescribable
panic Men attempted to spring from the
windows OF the cars, women screamed and
tried to secrete themselves under the Seats
Everybody was terrified, and nobody offered to
lift o finger in resistance One pas
senger gave up his pocket book, con-
tanning over 800 in money and two
checks for $4O0 and 5000 respectively, almost
mechanically. The passengers were literally
stMpped 6feverything in the shape of valua-

under the seat and thus saved it, but the bulk
of the travellers had not enough left to pay for
their breakfast. The robbers occupied scarcely
half an hour. They darted off into the woods
as soon as they had completed their work, and
the engineer at once ran the train into Little
Rock. Intense excitement prevails.
Col H. nj. Hoxie. General Manager of the
st. Louis and Iron Mountain road, Superin-
tendent Buchanan and the Hon. G. B. Moore
Attorney General of the State, called on Gov
Churchill this afternoon and held consulta-
ton, and the company offered $4,000 each
and the State $500 each for the capture of the
robbers. Churchill left on o special at 4 o'clock
this evening for the scene Of the robbery, and
will command pursuit in person. The pas
sengers lost about $4,000. Therobbers wore no
masks.
The amount of the loss to passengers and
the railroad company is placed at between
$4,000 and $4,000. The robbers were all
young, beardless boys, one of the passengers
says. No trace of them has been found up to
this hour. ,,.

IMPROVED HARNESS. "A recent writer
calls attention to the fact that with all the
inventions and Improvements that have
been made, we are still driving and guild
ing our horses by means of appliances
practically the same as in by-gone ages.
Horses still run away, as in years past
they have run away, and the appliances
for stopping them are, In . great many
cases, inadequate. The writer alluded
to makes the suggestion that instead of
attaching the lines direct, as now, they
might pass over pulley on the head
stall, one end to be held in the hand as
now and the other fastened to some
fixed part Of the harness. This simple
continuance. in accordance with we'll

WHAT BECAME OF HIM:
A Probable Mystery Explained.

NaystcEy LAplaluOu.
Harrisburg Telegraph.
On Friday evening a colored man ar
rived from Chambersburg over the Cum
berland Valley road in charge of car load
of horses, bound for Philadelphia. The
car was taken through last night, the
colored man accompanying it. This
morning intelligence was received in Har-
risburg that somewhere between Collins S
station and Lancaster the colored drover
disappeared from the train, and up to
noon all search had failed to find him.
The affair has very mysterious look.
Referring to the above tho Chambersburg
Repository says ''The colored man refer
red to above is Armstead Lee, of this
place, who lefton Friday morning with a
drove of horses belonging to Mr.. Wilson.
Armstead was wanted here to answer a
charge Of larceny and he was arrested
at Middletown where he had been work
ing. He came on and settled
the case, after which he wished to
return to Middletown and 60 to work,
but did not have the money to purchase
ticket. He hired to Mr.. Wilson to 90
with the horses, but told some persons at
the National hotel stable that he was 60
ing to jump off the train at Middletown.
This he has undoubtedly done and if
search was made there we think ho would
be fOund.'
