CANADIAN Posi- OFFICE SAyMGs RANK.-The
yearly report Of the Post Oniee Savings Bank
reflects the growing popularity Of the institution
IN remarkable way. During the year ending
June 80 last there was deposited q, 175.042
nearly double the amount OF any former year.
while the Withdrawals amounted to 2,072, $50,
which latter sum is but little above the average
Withdrawn every year. At the close of the year
there were 81, COS accounts open, representing
Of. 2O6, 677, or an average of S156-75 per &C
count 1t is interesting to notice that this aver
age is higher than it has ever been before. The
nearest approach to it was S147.04 in 1872 The
interest paid out to depositors in the year was
S184 ,9O4.81. The total sum received by the bank
since its establishment in 1868 is S27 097 124 the
total amount withdrawn $40, $50, 04S, and the
sum invested at dep0sitOrs' request in Dominion
stock %, 431 500. OF course great part of the
unusual growth made last year by the business
Of the Post ONCE Bank was due to the fact that
while this institution continues to pay per cent
many loan societies have cut down their interest
On current accounts to 8 per cent But when all
allowance is made for this cause, there remains
great increase, which Is justly ascribable to the
general revival OF prosperity in the country

PowNING's BILL. - Yesterday Powntng's
Asylum bill passed the Assembly by deci-
sive vote. Whenever owning lakes a notion
to pass q bill, people may as well make
up their minds that he is going 10 DO it.
While we believe the Carson plan Of an
Asylum is much cheaper and vastly more
cannot avoid a pIimentary aiusion to the
pluck and pclsistency OF Senator PuwninE,
who climbs over al Obstacles like runaway
horse going through brush fence wiki the
shafts and two front wheels clinging TO his
TANKS. The bill, Is it now stands, gives DR..
Clark fifteen months longer To care for the
insane. Some bill should be passen taking
the contract out Of his hands and allowing
private contractors in the State to assume the
care of the patients during the interim.

What Frightened StonewaII Jackson in

Governor jackson, of West Virginia,
says: 81 reco!lect asking Stonewan,
who was my cousin, If he had ever been
frightened in war He said yes, once he
Lad been considerably under sense Of
fear. It was in the City of Mexico. A
chest containing a large sum of money
had been put in Lieut.. Jackson's charge,
and to be perfectly secured of it he or
dered it carried to his headquarters, in
an old abbey or convent, and laid down
there alone in the room with it to sleep,
sentinel walking the corridor outside
He had been there in bed only few
minutes, and was getting drowsy, when
he distinctly heard something under his
bed, which lifted up as ii man was Sc
creted there jackson said he Ieaped
out of the bed and drew his sword and
examined the bed and the room in vain.
jackson then supposed he had been pos
sibly dreaming and resumed his bed.
just as he was thinking it was all mis-
take, his bed lifted again, plainly and
with some force. He started forth a
second time, sword in hand, and behold
nothing was there. "This time" said
he, CT was scared indeed, until nv at
tention was called to shouting outside
in the street, and then I found it was an
earthquake passing under the City of
Mexico that had lifted my bed up and
given me such apprehension"

1t was a merry brook, that ran
Beside MY cottage door all day;

Singing pleasant song Away.
/ span my thread with mickle care;
The weight within my hand increased:
The Spring crept by me unaware;
The brook dried up-the music ceased.
l missed it little, took small thought
That silent was its merry din,
Because its melody was wrought
Into the thread / sat to spin.
1t was lark that sang most sweet
Amongst the sunrise clouds so red;
knew his nest lay near my feet,
Although he sang so high o'erhead.
And though he sang so loud and clear
Up in the golden clouds above,
His throbbing song seemed wondrous near /;
I twined it with the web wove
The long days. glory still drew on:
Then Autumn came: the Summer fed;
The music that loved was gone;
The song was hushed-the singer dead.

My web grew greater, fold on fold,
/ bore it to the crowded mart;
They paid my wage in good red gold
Red gold, and fine. turned me back,
The city's dust was in my throat
No brook ran babbling down its track;
No bird trilled out tender note
But city noise, and rush, and heat,
The gold was red like minted blood,
Oh for the cool grass to my feet,
The birds song, and the babbling food.
"
l turned me, and [ went my way
My lonely, empty way, alone;
The gold within my bosom lay;
My woven web of dreams was gonel
Did the gold way me? No; in sootb,
Gold never paid for brook and bird,
Nor for the coined dreams of youth,
Nor for the music that heard.
My web is gonel The gold is mine.
And they who bought it, can they see
What dreams and fancies intertwine
With every woven thread for me.

Heaven knows the situation is
tad enough as it is, without adding
to its herrcrs," says Blaine. The
detectives have thoroughly followed
the trail Of Guiteau for tho past
months, and find that he has been
in the city since the 4tb Of March.
He has been noticed many times
haunting the portico Of the Execu-
tive Mansion and the entrance to the
grounds. The coachman of the
President says that Guiteau visited
the stables several times and asked
many questions about the horses
and the hours the President took
his drives. On the Friday before
the commission Of his murderous
purpose Guiteau hastened through
the rortico of tho White House and
asked if the President was in. Be-
ing answered in tho negative. he
Immediately inquired il he was out
riding, and receiving an affirmative
answer be slouched away in the
direction Of the gateway.
THE VERY LATEST.
The Presidents condition improves
with every hour is the verdict Of the
physicians in oharge-there is every
hope of final recovery.
Among the other favorable symp-
toms last reported is the fact that
the President finds fault with the
physicians because they don't give
him enough to eat, but being told it
was not thought prudent, he con-
sented to compromise upon an egg.
He wished also to know yesterday
afternoon whether he could not be
permitted to hold a Cabinet meeting,
and evinced generally disposition
to talk.
This is glory enough for one day.

The attempted assassination Of
President Garfield Saturday morn
ing shocked the country beyond
measure. The scene was the Balti-
more depot at Washington, few
minutes after Q. On this event.
full morn the President accompan-
led 10y several members of his cabi-
net and their ladies were to leave
for two weeks trip in New Eng
land. Mrs. Garfield, who had been
sojourning at Long Branch for her
health, was to have joined the Pres
ident and party at New York that
afternoon.
The day was a magnificent one
for travelling. The President arose
at an early honr. attended to con-
siderable executive business, left
his instructions with Private Secre-
tary Brown and was preparing to
start when Secretary Blaine came
to the White House.
The other members OF the party
it appears had gone to the
depot seine minutes before the time
for the train to start-9:30 q. IN.
Secretaries Window, Hunt, Lincoln,
and Postmaster General James, &C.
companied by Mrs. Window, Mrs.
Hunt and Mrs. James had taken
seats in special car attached to the
train. 1t was within Eve minutes
of the time OF starting when the
Presidents carriage drove up to the
depot. Mr.. Blaine had accompanied
General Garfield to the train, and
both gentlemen slowly alighted from
the carriage, and Walking arm in
arm had taken but two or three steps
into the depot when Guiteau entered
by the left door from the general
reception room, and passing quickly
around the back Of the benches,
came behind the President and fired
the shot that struck his arm. The
President walked, about ten feet, to
the other end of the aisle, and was
in the act of turning to face his as
sailant when the second shot struck
him in the small Of the back and he
fel! diagonally across the isle.
A scene of the most intense ex-
citcment followed. AS soon as the
reports of the pistol were heard,
somebody shouted 'Blaine is MUIR
dered," but the Secretary OF State
rushed frantically into the main
room shouting for Colonel Rockwell.
Mrs White, the woman in charge
of the waiting-room, was the first to
reach the President. The crowd
stood aghast with horror. She lifted
up his head. Ha was deathly pale,
but retained consciousness. His
son bent over his father and sobbed
irantically. Secretary Blaine could
hardly repress his emotion. The
news of the assassination flew along
the streets like wildtire, and within
ten minutes there were over thous-
ana people at the station. The
members Of TIE Cabinet and their
wives wee notified Of the event. A
man burst into the car exclaiming

A dispatch was ct once sent to
Mrs. Garfield, 1t Long Branch, re-
qussting her return. She responded ,
stating that she was coming. The
road Was at once cleared for her
train. At $50 p. m. she arrived.
Her sorrowful aud tear-stain ed
features were visible and eloquently
expressed the deep emotion that by
force of will was otherwise conceal
ed. Immediately Jimmy took his
mother in his arms, and the boy
disappeared in the strong, protect
ing man. Mrs. Garfield was weep
ing bitterly, and as Jimmy assisted
her with his arm affectionately
around her, he pressed kiss after
kiss upon her tear-stained face, and
begged her to be brave, although,
poor fellow, he had little comfort st
that time to offer.
The meeting between hus band
and ~ife Was unseen.
THE PRESIDENT CONDITION.
Every moment since the shooting
has been one Of suspense to all 10y al
citizens. kilograms encouraging
and discouraging follow each other.
The latest, however, up to the hour
going to press, are the most hope
full Of any, and our people begin to
feel that their prayers availeth much.
Though he is not yet beyond dam
ger, there seems now to be substan-
tial reason to hope for his survival.
Physicians don't want to deceive
the public and cause them to build
up false hopes. They have evidence
that the ball has passed through the
liver, that the bowels are uninjured,
which is about all they claim to
know of it. They are now prepar-
ing for the fever, because that will
determine some of the internal COM
plications, and everything depends
upon how his system stands the
fever, which must come. One hope
full sign is his ability to retain
nourishment.
The stoutest believer in the re-
covery of the President is Mrs.
Garfield, and she is really the most
cheerful person in the capitol. She
fully recognizes the critical condi-
ten of affairs, but whenever the
President opens his eyes he sees
smile on her heroic little face. She
is to- day the heroine Of Washington,
and bears up bravely against the
dependency and gloom that sur
rounds her like q cloud.

he wandered about without money

left in state OF speechless surprise.
As soon as those who surrounded

After firing the fatal shot Guiteau

pot. The wounded President was
then borne upon mattresses in bot

and while passing through the
crowd, pale and weak, but conscious,
he open his eyes and gently waved
his hands. Strong men sobbed and
cried At the pitiful sight.
The scene at the White House
has been beyond DESCRIPTION. While
being carried to his room the Presi-
dent looked very badly despite an
evident effort to pacify the excited
weeping friends who had assembled
to await his arrival. The white
