SAYINGS BY GARFIELD.
Golden Words From the Lips and Pen
of the Dead President.

After the battle of arms comes the
battle of history.
For the noblest man that lives there
still remains conflict.
would rather be beaten in right than
succeed in wrong.
Present evils always seem greater
than those that never come.
Growth is better than permanence,
and permanent growth is better than all.
1t is one of the precious mysteries of
sorrow that it finds solace in the un-
selfish thought.
Statesmanship consists rather in re-
moving the causes than in punishing or
evading the results.
Ideas are the great warriors of the
world, and a war that has no ideas be-
hind it is simply brutality.
Eternity alone will reveal to the
human race its debt of gratitude 20 the
peerless and immortal name of Wash
ington.
1t is as much the duty of all good men
to protect and defend the reputation of
worthy public servants as to detect pub
lie rascals.
Occasion may be the bugle call that
summons an army to battle, but the
blast of a bugle can never make soldiers
or win victories.
Throughout the whole web of national
existence we trace the golden thread of
human progress toward the higher and
better estate.
An act of bad faith on the part of a
State or municipal corporation, like
poison in the blood, will transmit its
curse to succeeding generations.
Bad faith on the part of an individual,
city, or even State, is a small evil in
comparison with the calamities which
follow bad faith on the part of a SOW
ereign Government.
If there be one thing upon this earth
that mankind love and admire better
than another it is a brave man it is a
man who dares to look the devil in the
face and tell him he is devil.
We should do nothing inconsistent
with the spirit and genius of our insti-
tutions. We should do nothing for re-
venge, but everything for security
nothing for the past, everything for the
present and future.

A refreshing rain fell this afternoon.

count of the funeral of President Garfield.

A very pleasant affair took place last Thurs
day evening at the residence of the Rev. w.
G.. Ward, on East Avenue. That gentleman
had Just returned from the Annual Confer
ence, and his many friends called upon him
to bid him adieu ere he departed for Cheese
dom. A very elegant silver tea service was
presented to him by his admirers, through z.
s. johnson, Esq. who made q very appropri-
ate speech, which led us to the conclusion,
that this distinguished lawyer, had devoted
his early studies to Theology. Mr.. Ward
was so completely taken back that he could
not, at first, respond, but after q moment he
made few fitting remarks In accepting the
gift Mr.. Ward leaves many warm and
sympathizing friends behind him, who regret
sincerely his departure, but at the same time
feeling that their loss is Wellington's gain.

The Mother Of the Late President
Garfield.

CLEVELAND, O.. September %
The mother Of the late President Garfield
Is nowsat Solon with her daughter, Mrs.
Larrabee. During all these days since July
the mother of the President remained
hopeful. She had faith that her noble son
would be spared to serve his country and
comfort her declining years.
AT five o'clock TUESDAY, morning the VII
lage bell toIled. At six O'Clock came = pri-
vate telegram, as follows:
"ELsERos, N. J., September 10.
James died this evening at loss He calm
~ breathed his life away. ID. G.. SWAIN"
Mrs. Larrabee's fret thought was as to
her mother. The latter was sleeping calm
", aud they did not awake her. Not until
eight O'Clock did the old lady awake, hav-
ing slept since eleven p. m. At that time
Mrs. Larrabee passed her door with q
heavy heart and found her up and dressed
and reading the Bible. It was thought best
not to break the news until Mrs. Garfield
had eaten breakfast. Oddly enough the
old lady did not insist upon hearing the
news until she had finished eating. Then,
taking the fatal telegram from the shelf,
she was about to read, but Miss Ellen took
1t from her trembling hands.
"Grandma," she said, would you be
surprised to get bad news this morningr'
"Why, don't know" said Mrs. Gar
field.
"Well, shouldn't" !" said Mrs. Larrabee;
"I have been fearing and expecting 1t all
the morning."
"Grandma," said Ellen, "there is bad
news"
"Is he dead'" asked the old lady, trem-
ulously.
"'He is"
The quick tears started in the sensitive
eyes. There was q violent paroxysm Of
grief. No expression Of frenzy told Of the
anguish within.
as it trllel" she asked. 'Then the Lord
help me, for II he is dead what shall / dof''
She was rendered weak and q little nervous
by the announcement, and was Obliged once
or twice to repair to her room, where, In
solitude, she might begin to comprehend
the awful truth. But she was not content
ed to remain there, and soon returned to
the sitting About $3.50 O'Clock Mrs.
Garfield was found sitting in the rocking
chair waiting for the news. The morning
paper she read with eagerness.
at cannot be that James Is dead" she
murmured. 81 Icannot understand. Ihave
no further wish to live, and cannot live II
II Is So"
Although her general health Is good at
present, many fear her words are prophetic
Mrs. Larrabee dares not hope otherwise
herself. But, feeling keenly as she does her
great afhiction, never once has she limited ai
lack of faith In the Supreme One-that all
Is not intended for the best at Is provi-
dential,'' she said. "I can firmly believe
that God knows best, and must not muir.

Letters from Russia depict a sad
condition of things as regards the Jews.
1t is no rare occurrence, especially in
the south. for rich Jews to be falsely
accused of some imaginary crime and
their property confiscated. The victims
are glad to escape with their lives, and
if they venture to return they are seiz-

sumed name, and banished to Siberia

Medical Success Extraordinary.

DR.. Foster, who is at present in Oberlin,
will return to Wellington, Oct. 10Th, and
can be consulted at the American House
by his patients for few days thereafter.
In his specialiiy-of treating Catarrhal
affections-the Doctor has had unusual
success, giving relief in most, if not all,
cases. We have heard many of his patients
speak in praise of his skill, and satisfaction
with his treatment, and have yet to hear
of one who makes any complaint. His
success is certainly extraordinary in the
treatment of this very obstinent disease

I'm an interesting letter from Mary
Curtis Lee. wife of the Confederate
General, she describes his last hours,
and especially the moment when he re-
ceived the stroke that soon brought
him to his grave. "We had been wait
ing dinner for him, and 1 said, You
have kept us waiting a long time.
Where have you beenP' He did not
reply, and stood up as if to say grace,
but no sound protruded from his lips,
and he sat down in his chair perfectly
upright, and with a sublime look of
resignation on his countenance. but
did not attempt to reply to our in
quiries. That look was never to be
forgotten, and have no doubt he felt
then that his hour had come"
Senator Butler, of South Carolina,
writing to a local paper, says: Jour
nalism has become as much a separate
and distinct profession as medicine, or
law, or engineering, or agriculture, or
architecture, or mining, and every fam
lily should have a newspaper if they ex-
pect or care to keep pace with the cur
rent of events in this fast-moving age.
Books are not always accessible, but
newspapers are. and at a price that
places them within the reach of the
poor as well as the rich"
