Tie Words Written by the Presi-
dent Instead OF his Signature.

Washington Special to Philadelphia Press.l
Among those who stood on the
platform at the railway station waiting
for the funeral train was Steward
Crump, the faithful attendant upon
President Garfield until he himself
was laid on a bed of sickness, a suf-
ferer from an attack Of nervous pros
t%ration, not malarial, as he emphatic
ally informed me. | asked him some
thing Of the Presidents illness, and
especially as to the illusions under
which he labored whea he was re-
ported to be delirious. 1t will be
recollected that it was denied that the
President had any illusions, but Mr..
Crump tells a different story. He says
that the mental w~anderings of the
President were not confined to the
moments just after awakening 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 a long time,
he said:
"Crump, what are those men doing
there?"
There are no men here, Mr.. Presi-
dent" responded Crump.
Certainly they are" insisted the
President, "and you must tell them,
Crump, that | cannot see them TO day.
Tell them to go away"
Mr. Crump could not convince him
that he was laboring under a delu.
sion, and therefore be arose and said:
Gentlemen, the President cannot
see you to day. You must go away
now"
The President thanked him, and
then acknowledgement if he had hurt
the feelings of his imaginary intrud-
ers. At another time be wal 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 realize the extreme danger Of
his situation. To-day | heard a very
interesting and startling confirmation
of this. 1t will be remembered thatit
was announced that the President had
signed his name one day, simply to test
his nerves. 1t was before he wrote
the letter to his mother. The sigma
ture was said to have been good, but
the fact was concealed that the sick
man wrote something else of a very
significant character. He took the
pen from the doctor, and thinking
awhile, wrote these words:
"Strangulatus pro Republica.'
~(Strangled for the Republic.)

Murder by q Nine Year Old Boy

Lexington, (Miss.) Bulletin: We
hear that on Mr.. Sam Wherry's place
near Gray's Mill, on Saturday the
10th inst, a child Of Rose and Allen
Harris, colored, about two years old
was killed by a grand.child Of Jim
Freeman, a boy about nine years old.
1t appears that the boy who was nurse
about the place and had been left in
charge while the grown people we're
away, and the little girl managed to
offend him in some way. 1t appears
that he then took the child's apron
and tied the same about the head and
eyes as if to blind fold her, after which
he cast her into a well that was about
LOG feet deep. 1t was after q hunt Of
several hours that the boy, by means
Of a switch, was made to tell where
the body a 0wingto the age Of
the boy it is difficult to deal with such
a case, and we can hardly conjecture
what the courts will do With it.

General Garfield was President only
six months and fifteen days. Three
years. FIVE months and a half Of the
Presidential term remain for General
Arthur's incumbency. But Of General
Gar6eld's term, two months and
twenty days were passed on a bed Of
suffering during which the only official
act he performed was putting his sig.
nature to an extradition warrant. All
the Presidents who have died in Office
have died in the early part Of the
term. General Taylor lived sixteen
months after his inauguration, leaving
two-thirds Of the term to be filled by
Fillmore. Abraham Lincoln was as
sassinated one month and eleven days
after his second Inauguration, and
Andrew johnson therefore held the
Office three years, ten months and q
