The Words Written by the President AFTER His
Signature.

WASHINGTON, September %. - Among
those who stood on the platform 1t the rail-
way station waiting for the funeral train was
Steward Crunp, the faithful attendant on
President Garfield until he himself was laid
on . bed or sickness, a sufferer from an At
tack Of nervous prostration, not malaria, as
he emphatically informed me. / asked him
something Of tho Presidents illness, and es-
pccially As TO the illusions under which he
labored when he was reported to be delirious.
1t will be recolected that ID was denied that
the President had any delusions, but Mr..
Crump tells different story. He Gays that
the mental wandering of the President was
not confined to the moments just after awak-
ening from sleep. He said the illusions
came on at all times. As an illustration Of
this he said that one day after the President
had lain silent long time, he said:
.'Crump, what are those men doing there?"
aThere are no men here, Mr.. President"
responded Crump.
Certainly there are" insisted the Presi-
dent, " and you must tell them, Crump, that
l can not see them to-day. Tell them to 60
away"
Mr.. Crump could not convince him that he
was laboring under delusion, and therefore
be rose and said:
aGentlemen, the President can not see
you to-day. You must 20 away now"
The President thanked him and then anx-
iously inquired II he had hurt the feelings of
the imaginary intruders. At another time he
was choking from an accumulation of
phlegm, and insisted that some one had him
by the throat, nor would he be satisfied until
Crump had beaten off the assailant. 1t Is
improbable that the President did not real
lie the extreme danger of his situation. To-
day heard very interesting and somewhat
startling confirmation of this. 1t will be
recollected that IL was announced that the
President had signed his name one day, SIM
ply to test bis nerves. IL was before he wrote
the letter to his mother. The signature was
said to have been good, but the fact was con-
cealed that the sick man wrote something
else of very significant character. He took
the pen from the doctor, and, thinking awhile,
wrote these words:
"Strangulata pro Republica." (Strangled
for the Republic.)

Wants TO Colonize Them.

While the Apaches have been raiding the
territority over which he, supposedly, pre-
sides, Gen. Fremont, Governor Of Arizona,
has been In Washington figuring on plan
for the colonization of the Indian tribes of
the Northwest. His plan was to acquire by
cession, If possible, from Mexico large
tract OF country in the northern part Of
Lower California, on which all the bad In
dams Of the Northwest may be colonized.
He represents that . chain Of forts across
the upper portion Of the peninsula would
effectually keep the savages prisoners where
they could be fed by the Government At an
agency established. lie thinks Mexico would
be willing to make the cession for the pur-
pose, because the territory Is worthless, and
that Government has as much interest In
putting the wild Indians where they can do
no harm ~ has the United States, - the
Apaches and others make no distinction -
10 which side Of the boundary they commit
their outrages.

The Money Monopoly OF the Moors 10 Beauti-
full Women.
Good Words.


A most impressive journey Is 70 the palace
Of the Bey. the Bardo. Passing through the
Marine Gate we enter the quarters OF the
town which lie between the ancient wall
and the outer ramparts we glide past q con-
fused multitude Of huts and houses, and
shops (Which are joke) filled with charm
Ing rubbish kept by wax-work figures; rows
of sable women sitting against whitewashed
walls, with piles Of bread; youths with saw
age faces; bent old men leaning on their
stats; NANCY children with scald heads
shirted, hooded, naked, with features black
and yellow I'm all indefinable shades, in cos
tunes for the most part white, squatted In
circles, asleep in corners, motionless as the
rubbish-heaps which form the background,
without smile, without one movement OF
muscle, oppressed, weary, petrified, filling
the bright air with mystery. We ride on
amid scene peaceful, silent, sad. In these
wretched little imps and those horrible hays
we see the children of lust and debris OF the
seraglio. Year by year the negro villages OF
the Soudan are raasacked for girls Of volup-
tuous beauty-who are stolen or bought for
few beads or bottle of rum-for the Mus
sulman market, where, unmoved by pity,
swollen with savage passion, the drover
knows eager buyers await his arrival. Beau
tiful women are the money monopoly, the
luxury OF the fat, fair-complexioned, maies-
tic, lounging, lazy Moor. Over exceptional
beauty cadis, pashas, ministers and mer-
chants wage a fierce money strife before 1t is
determined In whose embraces 1t shall be
used up. Thousands of both male and
female children, from eight to ten years OF
age, are annually imported into the Moorish
markets. On their way many OF them die
of broken heart. They are fattened prior
to sale, and are treated to music to cure
homesickness, IL Is said, and to give the look
of contentment-for the Moor loves only
flesh. When worn with care, or sorrow, or
old age (Which comes at thirty, woman Is

be first a beast, then brute. Under tue
curse of such character his land is waste,
his manhood a ruin. What the European
owes to the now attained creed about

The Great stailion Race.

Chicago, July 11.-Speaking of the
great stallion race here this week, the
Tribune says: The field will probably
be as follows: Santa Claus, Boneset-
ter, Piedmont, Monroe Chief, Wedge
woed, Annis MEG Gregor Scott's Thomas.
Voltaire and Independence are also en-
tered, but it is not probable that either
of them will start. This will leave the
field exactly the size of that which trot-
ted at the Rochester race. With the
winner Of that race out and Piedmont
in his place, the chances for an ex-
citing contest are, if anything, i'm
proved. Budd Doble is now on his way
from California to this city for the pur-
pose of driving Monroe Chief in his
race here, and although there is no
doubt the horse is at present out
classed, his friends and the public gen.
orally will gladly welcome his return to
the trotting turf of the man whose ac-
tions and works have always tended to-
wards the elevation of the sports.

lodged near it. The presence Of the
