DIR. AGNEW'S AFTER THOUGHTS
He Never Was Sanguine of GarfieId's
Recovery.
Philadelphia Record.

81 never was sanguine of President
Garfield's recovery, and always regard
ed his case as one of the great hazard,
as you know / said several times to
you," said DIR. Agnew last evening, ad
dressing Recorder reporter, after his
return from Long Branch. 'There was
nothing remarkable about this case.
There were many such cases of gun
shot wounds during the war. The ball
did not pass through the spinal cord
but through the vertebra, scattering
minute dusty particles in the tissues. !"
What of the story of the New York
Herald asserting that you acquiesed in
an erroneous diagnosis because profess
sional ethics p
81 would refer anyone who desires to
know anything about it to the person
who furnished the information. Now,
if anybody had been told what was the
real situation of the bullet and it's true
course Immediately after the shooting
they would have said: Mr.. Ga1fe is q
dead man. There was nothing strange
in the fact of the President living eigh-
ty days, for it often happens that per-
sons affected with septic troubles linger
as long as three or four months.
"The death was due to liberation in
the track of the bullet, as stated in the
autopsy. Dr. Woodward will prepare a
minute report Of the case, including q
detailed report of the post mortem, for
the information of the medical frater-
nity"

THE YOUNG HIGAWAYMEN.
A Citizan Assaulted and Robbed in
Broad Daylight.
Nau al,

Upon Sunday afternoon, about four
o'clock, Moses Price of No. II Bayard
street, an old clothes cleaner, was pass
ing through the Bowery toward Chat
ham street, when he was approached
by John Lennon, 20 years of age, of
No. II Pell street, who spatched silver
watch and gola chain from his vest and
then ran to Pell street. Price chased
the thief down Dover street, and an ac-
complete named Thomas Fallon, aged
about 20 years, of No. 48 Mulberry
street, intercepted his further pursuit
by placing his hand over Prices mouth.
Officer Lay of the fourteenth precinct
was notified, aad from information re-
ceived from the neighbors succeeded
in arresting both the men.
When they were taken before Justice
Bixby at the Tombs court yesterday,
Price identified Lennon as the man
who stole his property, ard Fallon as
the one who tried to stop his course in
the street. Both prisoners denied their
guilt. Lennon said he was in bed in
his own home at the time alleged.
Fallon, to defend himself, said he ran
to the roof of his house to help capture
he thief. when the officer came up and
arrested him.
Both men were held for trial in de-
fault of bail.

An Episode of the Great Battle OF
GpffvShurp

Midway between the contending
lines was a solitary tree that ia peace
full times had given shade to the har-
vest hands at their nooning Early in
the morning some Confederate sharp
shooters had crawled out to this tree,
and were able to reckon their game at
every shot. So destructive, in fact,
did their fire become that the widest
imprecations were shouted at them by
the Federals, and threats were made,
that if taken they would get no quar-
ter. All at once there came lull in
the firing from that part Of the line.
A Confederate was seen to rise up from
the base of the tree and to advance to-
ward the Federals with his hand rails
ed. Shots were fired at him but there
was curiosity at his approach, and the
word was, wait till we see what he
wants to do" Some thought he had a
mind to desert, and encouraged him
with shouts of "come over, John
ny We won't fire." But, if the Con-
fedcrate spoke, what he said could not
be heard in the din of the cannonad-
ing and musketry, then growing
heavy and continuous as the day wore
on. Forward still he came, and all
eyes were strained to see what it could
be that he meant to do. There can be
no truce on the battlefield till the battle
is lost or won. The man who raises the
white flag there, or gives any signal of
that kind, has no right to look for its
recognition on the other side. He may
only trust to their shrewdness to I'M
derstand an emergency. 1t might be
merely trick to deceive. Suddenly
the Confederate dropped upon the
grass and for an instant was lost to
sight. 1t was thought he had been hit.
But only for an instant, for thrill of
enthusiasm passed through the Fed
erals, murmurs of admiration were
heard and then a cheer as hearty as if
given in a charge, burst forth from
their throats, and the cheer repeated
increased in volume, proved that un-
selfish actions are possible, and there
are noble hearts to appreciate and re-
spond.
The Confederate sharpshooter, who
had been doing his best to destroy his
antagonist, had observed in front of
him wounded Federal, lying help
lessly on the ground between the two
lines, and begging IN his agonlzlng
thirst for drink, and at the almost
certain risk of losing his own life, had
gone forward to give comfort to the
distressed enemy. This it was that
caused the Federal cheer and for a few
minutes stopped the work Of death in
that neighborhood. When the sharp
shooter had performed his act of mer-
cy he fastened back to the tree, and
with the warning cry, Down, Yanks,
we're going to fire p the little, UMPIRE
meditated truce was ended and was
soon forgotten in the grand event that
followed almost Immediately after.
The next day-the Fourth of July
heap of Confederates was found I'M
der that tree. Whether the hero of
the day before was one of the CHASTITY
dead will probably never be known.

A Matter of business.

"You were out late last night, dear"
said Mrs. Breezy, taking her seat at the
breakfast table and fumbling nervously
with her fork.
ooh, no." said Mr. Breezy, "it wasn't
late. You see, darling, you were asleep
when l came in, and"
"No, Mr.. Breezy, l was not asleep,
but, as you say, it was not late tor you.
Nothing would convince you that the
clock struck as you closed the hall
door. OF course business detained you,
my dear. 1t is wonderful how much
business a man will find to transact af-
ter midnight, but of course we women
know nothing about such doings. We
never can understand you men, can we,
dear? We are always imagining all sorts
of horrid things when. you happen to
stay away day or two without send
ing us even a line. Women are so
nervous, are they not. dear? What silly
creatures we are, to be sure. 1t we
would only go to bed, and go to sleep,
it would save us a world of trouble,
wouldn't it, dear? We might know that
you great strong men can take care of
yourselves. If you are obliged to sit
up until 2 or o'clock in the morning
talking business with your customers,
it is really ungrateful in us to COM
plain, for, of course, You have the worst
Of it, don't you, darling? How 1t must
have bothered you, and how tired you
must get, and think it Is all for our
sakes. When you come totterlng home
so tired that you can hardly get up
stairs. and throw yourself on the bed
without even the strength to remove
your boots, we should appreciate your
devotion in thus laboring to support us.
Now, last night, dear, when you Stun
bled over the roclling-chair, and found
yourself obliged to cling to the head
board to support your weary form, you
presented really sad example of the
oyerworked husband and father. When
your shattered nerves caused you to
upset my fsesh bottle of cologne, and
sea ter the contents of my basket
over the floor, you really looked the
typical martyr of married life. OF
course you do not remember 1T, dear.
You were too tired and worn out with
that horrid, stupid customer to remem-
Der anything. What a dry, dull time you
must have talking business up TO )
o'clock in the morning; and you look
so sleepy and used up this morning. |
would really imagine YOU had expe-
rienced severe illness if l didn't know
it was those terrible racking business
cares which pull you down so. Isee
you have quite lost your appetite, dear,
You haven't even touched your steak.
Now. dear, this viii not do. You must
not apply yourselfso closely to business.

Facts and Anecdotes About General
fairfield.


Marshal Henry, of Washington city,
tells one or two very interesting Incl
dents relating to the life of the late
president during the few days preced-
ing his murder. He says:
II was riding out with the president
and Harry Garfield on the Wednesday
night of that week. The president
talked about a great many things, and
said great deal about his wife's recent
illness, Speaking particularly of DIR.
Boynton's services during the hour Of
Mrs. Garfield's peril, of the doctors
prompt response when summoned by
telegraph, and of his untiring efforts
night and day to ameliorate the suf-
fering of the patient, he said, in a tone
of voice which | shall never forget, to
his son, Harry, want you to remem-
Der your Uncle Silas as long as you
live"
One of the habits of the president
for many years was the writing of a
private diary, and he has left num-
Der of volumes of these diaries, which
are about six by eight inches in size
He did most of the writing in these
himself, though when very busy he
dictated the entries to his secretary.
The last entry he made himself the
night before he was shot. Under the
date July 1st is written: ''Brown re-
turned to-day" and, after few notes,
were the last words, "Cousin Cordelia
died to-day. Ret red at II o'clock"
1t will be remembered that Private
Secretary Brown returned from Europe
the night before the president was shot
The cousin Cordelia" spoken of was
Mrs. Arnold, who was fatally injured
by the accident in which the late presi-
dents uncle, Thomas Garfield, was
killed near Cleveland. The marshal
says the late president has left several
boxes full of papers and documents,
which will probably be examined some
day and edited for publication.
In some "reminiscences of President
Garfield, contributed to the Boston
Journal by Ben Perley Poore, is the
following:
''The short time that the Garfelds
occupied the white house before the
assassination was continued scene of
dom este enjoyment Grandma Gar
field had, until she returned to Mentor,
an honored place at the family table,
at her sons right hand, and was always
waited on first, whoever else might be
present. On the other side of the
president sat Jamie, who was his faith
er's pet. Harry, the Oldest boy, al
ways sat next to his mother, and then
Miss Mollie, who is approaching wo-
manhood; then Irwin and little Abram,
who is but nine years of age. Mrs.
Garfield is a believer in good fare, and
there was always an abundance of
wholesome, nutritious food, with good
coffee, tea and milk. Flowers from the
conservatory adorned the table at
every meal After dinner President
Garfield used to indulge in game of
billiards, having promptly restored to
its place the billiard table banished by
Mrs. Hayes. Occasionally he would
indulge in cigar, and he was not adj
verse to a glass of champagne of Rhine
wine, or larger beer, although he drank
temporarily and without hypocrisy
He liked as night came on to take a
gallop on horseback, and he was fear
less rid@r"

THE SILENT MAN AT THE FUNERAL.
what the WhirligiS of Time Brings
ArOund-The President and General
Grant


A Washington special to the Balti-
more Sun says: Presidents Grant
and Hayes, who sat on one sofa to
themselves, were almost as much the
objects of curiosity as was President
Arthur General Grant seems to be
growing stouter and heavier and more
solid-looking than ever. During the
whole time occupied by the services he
never moved a muscle of his face, and
looked straightforward into vacancy
No one could tell really whether his
thoughts were upon the sad and solemn
scene enacting under his eyes, or of
things afar of.
Mr.. Hayes seems to be 3 trifie more
florid than when he left Washington,
and gives evidence of feeling somewhat
the lack of attention which appears to
be shown him. Many persons of those
who knew Gen. Gran. when he was
president have taken pains to go up
and speak to him, but scarcely any one
has taken the trouble to do this with
Mr.. Hayes. President Arthur, with
Secretary Blaine, also sat on a sofa by
themselves diagonally opposite to the
one occupied by Generals Grant and
Hayes. His fine open countenance
bore dignified and sorrowful express
sion, which was made quite perceptible
to all, as his eyes were not cast down
at any time, although once or twice he
shielded them with his hat. His de-
meanor throughout was such as to
commend itselfto ali. Secretary Blaine
showed most plainly the depression
which he feels. He scarcely seemed
to have energy enough left in him to
take the least interest in anything, and
most of the time his head was resting
on his hands and his eyes were closed.
In entering and departing from the ro-
tunda the contrast between him and
President Arthur, who had his arm,
was very marked. The president, with
head and form firmly erect, lowered
several inches above the secretary of
state, whose head was buried almost in
his breast.
"The evident partiality of the new
president for Gen. Grant was shown by
his leaving the depot in his company
after the departure of the funeral train,
selecting him from among dozen 9TH
ers of his companions. 1t seems to be
the general impression that in a short
time Gen. Grant will be in the cabinet.
Common rumor assigns the secretary
ship of state to him, but it is more
likely, if he goes into the cabinet at all,
that it will be as secretary of war.
"Four of the members of the cabinet
who now have the prospect of retiring
to private life, will very naturally re-
greet that they did not hold on to the
positions which they held on the 4th
of March. Three of them left the sem
ate-Blaine, Window and Kirkwood-
where each had good prospect of re-
manning for an almost indefinite Pc
Rod, and another, Hunt, resigned life
position on the bench of the Court of
Claims"

Prince Napoleon and NJ. de Morny.

The Empress Eugene, who detested
Prince Napoleon, once wanted the En-
peror TO render it impossible for the
Prince, whom she treated as carpet
knight, to go wearing the epaulets and
drawing the pay of General of Divis-
ion. He had be n, she argued, nick
named "Craintplomb by the Due
d'Aumale. M. de Morny, who was
present. was appealed to by the irate
and exalted lady, who asked him
whether he thought steam would be
powerful enough to drag the Prince on
the ground where the Due d'Aumale
was ready to await him with pistol in
his hand and seconds behind him.
"Alas, nc p' said de Morny. IF ever
ball is found in the stomach of his
Imperial Highness il viii be through
having swallowed il by mistake" An
other of de Morny's mots was uttered
in response to question from little
Prince Louis. "What.is, Due" said the
child, "the difference between an acct
dent and misfortune ?" off" returned
NJ. de Morny, "your cousin, Prince Ma
poleon, fell into the Seine, it would be
an accident; if a brave Waterman
dashed in after him and pulled him
out, it would be a misfortune

How They Salt a Claim.
Laramie Boomerang.

81 wish you would explain 20 me all
about this sailing of claims that hear
so much about" said ~eek-eyed
tenderfoot to grizzly old Inner, who
was panning about six ounces OF pull
verified quartz. II d n'tsee what they
want to salt claim for, and don't
understand how they do it."
"Well, you see, a hot season like this
they have to salt claim lots Of times
to keep it. A fresh claim is good
enough for fresh tenderfoot, but old
timers won't look at anything but a
picked claim. You know what quartz
is, probably"
mo"
"Well, every claim has quartz. Some
more and some less. You find GU
how many quartz there are, and then
put Ill so many pounds of salt to the
quart. Wild cat claims require more
salt, because the wild cat spoils quicker
than anything else.
Sometimes you catch a sucker, too,
and you have to put him in brine pretty
plenty, or you viii lose him. That's
one reason why they salt claim.
"Then, again, you often grub stake a
man
"But what is grub stake?p
swell, grub stake is a stake that
the boys hang their grub on 50 they
can carry it. Lots of mining men
have been knocked cold by blow from
a grub stake.
'sWhat / wanted to say, though, was
this: You viii probably at first strike
free milling poverty, with indications
of som ething else. Then you will no
doubt sink till you strike bedrock, or
true fissure gopher hole. with traces
of disappointment.
'.That's the time to PUT in your salt.
You can shoot it into the shaft with a
double-barreled shotgun or wet it and
apply if with a whitewash brush. Ii
people turn up their noses at your
claim then, and say it is snide, and
that there is something rotten in Den
mark, you can tell them that they are
