Arrival at Long Branch,

LONG BRANCH. ITO P. M.-The dearest wish
of President Garield's heart has been gratified,
and he is now lying quietly at rest in his room
in the Francklyn cottage at Elberon. The long
Journey was accomplished with remarkable ease
and comfort and was almost wholly devoid of
incident. The train bearing the distinguished
patient was seen from the porch of the Elberon
hotel rolling into the station at lilo O'Clock and
instantly the crowds rushed down the lawn as
near to the cottage as the military guard would
allow, each one striving to gain position
from which the transfer from the car to the
cottage could be seen. The SUMS rays were
terribly hot, but no one seemed to know
whether he was in the sun or in the shade. The
arrival OF the President left no thought for
anything else. Within the cottage were few
servants only, while number Of soldiers stood
on the front steps, Major Richard Arnold and
ex-Collector Murphy were the only persons on
the broad lawn within the picket line except
the soldiers At just 1:23 o'clock the three
cars forming the special train reached the
junction OF Ocean and Lincoln avenues, pushed
by drill engine No. 4, of the New Jersey Cen
tral railroad aud came to stop. 1t had been
thought advisable to push the cars the remain
ing few feet by hand. 90 that the Presidents

coach could be stopped at exactly the right
spot by the cottage piazza, without sny unnec-
essary jar or shock from the engine. A large
number of railroad laborers were in waiting
and in a moment the first car. occupied by
Mrs. Garfield, was detached and run
up to the cottage. Next came the PresH
dents car, and this was also carefully
pushed along by the workmen until the door
IN its side was exactly opposite the cottage
porch. A moment later the long awning
which had been put up by the soldiers was
swung over and attached to the car Then
heavy planks were stretched from the porch to
the car door. Very soon four soldiers were
seen carrying bed from the car into the cot
tage The interested spectators took it for
granted that Mr.. Garfield was lying on this bed
and as soou as it disappeared from sight under
the awning most of the crowd hurried back to
the hotel or their cottages. Those VINO re-
NAMED saw two or three persons stepping back
and forth under the awning, and then, at just
1870 o'clock. twenty minutes after the train had
first been sighted, Col. H. C. Corbin, Warren S.
Young, Col. Rockwell, General Swain and Drs.
Bliss and Barnes suddenly emerged from the
coach, tenderly carving between them
stretcher, on which was lying the PROSTATE
form of the President. The transit to the cot
tage was effected in less than one minute, and
five minutes later the patient was living peace
fully upon his bed in the room at the southeast
corner of the cottage, ON the second floor When
everything was ready for the removal of the
President the surgeons lifted him from the
bed by a sheet and placed him upon stretcher.
The bed was then taken into the house by the
snEliers, the spectators thus being uninten ion
ally deceived by the physicians, the President
following ON the stretcher. In the meantime
Mrs. Garfield and her daughter Mollie, Mrs
Rockwell and her daughter, and the rest of the
presidential party had alighted fiom their car
and hastened into the cottage. They were met
by Attorney General MacVeaah and Colonel
Jones. Mrs. Garfield expressed herself as per-
fectly delighted with the trip, while its effect
upon her husband had been, she declared
simply wonderful. He seemed to improve
with every hour of the journey, especially as
soon as the fresh salt air of the ocean was felt
at Sea Girt. The President greeted Mr. Mac
Veagh with a smile of recognition and slight
wave of the hand. DR.. Hamilton, of New
York, reached the Elberon in the morning, and
assisted in arranging the sick-room for the

TIE Story of The Ride.

Mr. J. f. Elder, chief Inspector of the Penn
sylvania railroad, who came through with the
presidential party from Washington, gives the
following interesting account of the trip:
eve left Washington at about $50 O'Clock.
The train was ready by 5 O'clock and 6 O'Clock
was the hour announced for starting, but the
slight delay was caused in bringing the Presi-
dent downstairs. The trip may be said to have
been without incident-without exciting incl
dent, 1 mean-and everything went exactly as
we wanted. | never saw such demonstration
rs there was from the beginning to the end. |
might almost say that even dog did not bark
There was not loud word spoken, although
the streets were crowded in all the cities and
large towns. Pennsylvania avenue was lined
all the way to the White House, and the people
followed us as far as they could till the train
was running too fast for them. In the country
towns the negroes, farmers and country people
from miles around came to the small stations
10 see us go by. Everybody was on his good
behavior-every one seemed to thoroughly
appreciate the situation and to know exactly
what to do.
There was one amusing incident when we
came through Frankfort, where one man in the
crowd had horseshoe nailed to pole which
he hoisted over their heads and waved after US
as we passed. The people everywhere stood
with uncovered heads-every heart seemed
touched with one common sympathy. 1t was
the first time l ever saw succession of motley
crowds in which some one did not do some
thing ridiculous.
The speed of the train was wholly regulated
by the surgeons. At first it was moderate, but
from Bay View to Gray's Ferry we ran at an
average rate of fifty miles an hour. I timed
several miles which we made in from sixty -four
to sixty-seven seconds each. We changed en-
gines on each division, but our only stops were
for water. During these stops the surgeons
utilized the time in making such examinations
of the Presidents condition as could not be so
satisfactorily made when the train was in mo-
ton. The train was run so that when we got
here the locomotive had 120 pounds of steam.
when we left Washington the Presidents
pulse was ia; it went down to 102 between
Washington and Baltimore; after that it ran
mp to 100, but when about an hour from our
destination his pulse had gone back to 1O4.

How the President Endured the Trip.

Everybody was anxious to know how the
President endured the journey. Soon after he
had been comfortably settled in his new quar-
tiers reporter saw Acknowledgement Mac
Veagh, who said that the physicians reported
that the ride had hardly any injurious effect on
the condition of the patient. Yesterday or
last night" continued Mr.. MacVelgh, "they
we're not so fortunate in their treat
ment or else the circumstances sur
rounding the President were not so favorable,
for when he left Washington this morning his
pulse was 11S. Since he has arrived here and
has been resting in his room for the last ten or
twenty minutes he has had gentle sleep.
His pulse is now 108, his temperature SO 2-10,
and his respiration normal This, of course,
is very gratifying, although what permanent
effec the journey may have had upon his sys
tenn cannot be told for twelve hours to come.
He has surprised all the attending physicians
by the way in which he endured the journey,
but of course they expect that he will sooner or
later show signs of the fatigue which he has
experienced. You may say, however, that he
is absolutely in better condition than when he
started.
1.-The President slept somewhat in the early
part of his journey, but after that he awoke
and seemed to enjoy the trip being only anx-
ions to arrive at his destination Once thew sug-
gested that stop be made for few moments
IN order to give him a little rest, but ne OBJ
iected. At another time he assured them that
he was enjoying his ride. The physicians who
came with him are loud in their praises of the
bed on which he RODE the credit of which is
due to Mr.. Theodore n. Ely, superintendent of
motive power Of the Pennsylvania railroad.
1t was very happily designed SO as to prevent
even the slightest tremor aud enable the train
to run at q very high rate of speed without
producing any injurious effect. Two hickory
bands of wood ran across the car transversely,
on which were lain two mattresses, and on
these the Presidents mattress waslaid. Itwas
:. most successful achievement"

WHEN man or woman discovers that
this world is all a feeting show and that
the smiles Of joy, the tears Of woe, are
all a hollow mockery; that friendship is
but q name and love leads but to shame,
the first and natural impulse is to seek
another stage of existence, or at least to
get out of this wherein there is naurht
that can give the spirit joy again. When
fortune favors one, however, and riches
and honor appear but a little distance
ahead. most men and women would
rather remain in this sphere and forego
flying to ills they know not of. Not SO,
however. with Mr.. Louis Grumme, a
German soap manufacturer, who, when
told by his confidential clerk that his
business was increasing SO rapidly that
there was no alternative but to enlarge
the establishment, became so oppressed
by the prospect Of being called into a ca
reer for which, like the Lady of Burleigh
House, he felt he was not born, that he
determined on solving the great problem
and decided not to be. He committed
suicide to escape from making more
money than he knew what to do with.

With the advent Of a new decade, and
the coming of a new denomination in
Congress and in the executive govern
meut. there appears to be a fair prospect
Of A new era opening upon the country,
the possibilities of which are as plainly
seen in Europe as here, although the
character it may assume is as yet uncer-
tain. Great efforts have been made for
several years past to give a general urn
TO American enterprise seward, and to
develop a fondness for commerce with
foreign nations to an extent that would
ouerate as a diversion from the immense
internal development that has been going
on for the last fifteen years. 1t is al
together probable that this movement
NAV attain considerable Measure OF sue
cess. in view Of the enormous growth OF
our exports of domestic products, and OF
the immense increase of our internal
means Of transportation, and OF the ex-
traordinary progress Of our financial ca
pacity. 1t must, however, be borne In
mind that simultaneously with this strong
movement in favor Of foreign commerce
there is visible a powerful tendency to
complete all Of our unfinished Pacific
railroads, to multiply as rapidly as pos
sible our transcontinental traffic and TO
give unusual breadth and scope to the
domestic migratory movements in the
regions lying between the Mississippi
river and the Pacific ocean. An examI-
nation OF the details Of our exports since
the year 1865 shows such an extraordinary
increase Of the shipments of provisions
to foreign countries, that we deem it
necessary to say that the development of
livestock farming on an immense scale
in the remote regions OF the Republic
seems likely to be a very conspicuous
feature OF our new era. On point it
may be as well to be explicit. Those
who expect the new era to be n OF free
trade in foreign merchandise, at the ex-
pense OF our domestic manufactures, are
doomed to be disappointed The enor-
nous growth Of American agriculture
has attained such proportions that the
foreign markets do not supply any ade-
quate field for proftably marketing our
raw products. If, therefore, that agri-
culture could not depend upon an ever
increasing home market, there would not
be any adequate chance for profit on our
raw products. Hence, while it is posi-
BILE that the new era may give much
greater breadth and scope to our foreign
than has ever been known or
dreamed of by our own people, it is quite
certain that the largest measure Of our
prosperity must be found in the same
lines of internal development that have
yielded so richly within the last fifteen
years. If We can succeed in completing
and putting in operation promptly all our
unfinished lines of transcontinental rail
way, we may be able by the close of the
current decade to exhibit so large an in
crease of population and production in
u Pacific States and Territories as to
make that seem the most conspicuous
and important feature Of the new era.
Thus far our dreams OF Pacific empire
have fallen far short of possible fulfil
ment, either present or future.
