go to church regularly; be manly and

"SHoCK.' 1t will be remembered
that when President Garfield was shot,
he Immediately sank to the ground; his
temperature descended below the nor
NAL standard, and the pallor of death
settled on his features.
Had this condition gone little fur
ther, the heart would have stopped beat

tai organ of the presidents body was
injured.
This is what is called shock
1t was not caused by fright, or by
any effect on the feelings. 1t was pure
ly physical. 1t is often among the most
dangerous effects of accidents. Indeed.
many a person has died of an accidental
physical injury who would have fully
recovered. could the body have rallied
from the shock.
Precisely wherein the shock consists
it is difficult to say. 1t seems to be
somewhat analogous to the effect of a
blow on the head, which instantly, and
for a time, arrests consciousness and the
power of motion.
Light depends on certain wave-like
movement in the molecules of air. Now,
to touch vibrating bell. or musical

So it is thought that all nervous &C.

molecules of the nerve substance, and a

Every case of shock involves danger

from the force that works them. may
cease to act. What is needed in such
cases is to stimulate the heart

GARFIELD, LINCOLN, OUR
COUNTRY.


He sleeps, our nations chieftain sleepsi
Leaves he to us life sublime,
And for him now Columbia weeps,
Aye, mourn they him in every cline.
Tho brave. the virtu'us and the good,
Who, in his countrys dark est hour,
Faithful, unfiinchingly by her stood,
Now, leaves to her noble DOVER
A record that shall last for aye,
Till marble crumbles in the dust,
Till thrones and Kingdoms pass away,
Till richest earthly treasures rust.
may thy pure. unselfsh life
Be on our nation deep imprest,
And lead it to holier strife,
Calm angry pillows into rest.
When for another thou wouldst gain
The nations pinnacle of fame,
Thyself unto it didst attain
Unsought the trust, the honor came.
But now, like Lincoln, dost thou sleep
Thy country's martyr-heroes slain.
Our hearts your mem'ry sacred keep;
Rich sacrifice, be not IN vain:
Did not our country in its need
Oft raise its heart and voice in prayer
And with the God of nations plead
Our stricken President to spare?
With anxious heart and longing ear
PROSTATE we waited the reply;
And oftimes listened we to hear:
Read the ''dispatch" with eager eye.
Almost did we like one of old,
Chariots Of Israel see,
The horsemen too thereof behold,
AS upward mounted, pure and free,
All but the mortal of our chief.
Then, noble Garfield may not we,
Doubly thy spirit have in grief?
Then shall our country blessed be,
To sure prosperity tits won
If thy rich mantle on us fall,
Lincoln, of "malace toward none,"
OF love and charity to all''

The influence of genuine friendliness
is wonderful. We have met people who
were so kind and cordial in manner,
so responsive in look and greeting and
SO. swift in doing aud saying courteous
and gracious things, that they seem to
diffuse a sweet atmosphere around
them. How beautiful they we're. even
though sometimes they had plain faces
and rough hands. No face is ever hope
lessly plain through which friendly
soul looks out upon the world.

SMALL SAVING s.-The man who saves
something every year is on the road to
prosperity. 1t may not be possible to
save much. If not. save little. Do
not think that dollar or dime is too
small sum to lay by. Everybody
knows how little expenditures get away
with large sums. But few seem to know
that the rule is one that works both
ways. If dime spent here and dol
lar there, soon makes large hole in
mans income, so do dimes and dollars
laid away soon become visible accumu-
lation. In this country, any man may
make himself independent. or keep him
self under the harrow for life, according
as he wastes or spends his small change.
How many things do individuals and
families buy that they do not need, or
cannot afford. Think twice before you
spend that small coin. Do not be stin-
gy or mean, but also do not be foolishly
self-indulgent. The self-indulgent per-
son is far more likely to become ungen-
erous than the self-denying one. The
money on hurtful things alone-the
medicines and drugs We mingle with
our diet in the form of tea, tobacco, al
cohol and the stands on the very
threshold of prosperity, and bar the way
of thousands to home in their old age.

Many astronomers, from Hersehel
downward, have spent much time in OBJ
serving and speculating npon the struc-
ture and function of the stellar streams
known as the Galaxy or Milky Way.
This part of the heavens has recently
been made an object of careful study by
NJ Houzeau, of Brussels Observatory.
He has indicated its composition by
means of curves of equal luminous inten-
sity. Looking causually at the Milky
Way. one might be disposed to think its
luminosity nearly the same throug hout.
But Nc. Houzeau finds in it q series of
luminous plates or masses. to the num-
Der of thirty-three, each diminishing in
brightness outward from the centre.
These are arranged almost exactly along
great circle of the celestial sphere.
The solar system is nearly in the plane
of this equator" and probably near its
centre.

COAL powN.
A Break in the Value Of Black
Diamonds.

A war has suddenly broken out
among the coal merchants, caused BY
rivalry and an unusually light do
mand. SO far it only extends to the
river trade, but itmay spread to other
quarters.
For some timo past serenity has
ruled in the black diamond traffic.
The price Of tho Pittsburg brand, the
best we use, has been 300 per box
Of $50 lbs to steamers. Yester-
day it took a sudden drop 10 40
cents, and to-day il is reported wholly
nominal. To the city trade, delivered,
prices are steady and as they were,
viz; 60c per Dbl for P%ittsburg; 800 per
Dbl for slack coal; $ll.50 per ton for
anthracite, and $3.50 per cask for
Pittsburg coal delivered at the cars
for shipment,
Among the causes of depression in
the coal traffic this season is the mild
weather which has so far ruled. The
consumption on the river exhibits
marked reduction of volume, from a
variety OF influences. Business
among tho steamboats, has
been unusually light this season and
fewer vessels are running than for a
number of years psst. Then, too,
wood is plentiful and cheap. Largo
areas of fresh land have been cleared
away for cultivation next spring, and
the wood taken of has been prepared
for market in liberal quantities along
the nayigablo streams and railway
lines.
The planters of the valleys and hills
picked out their short cotton crop
very early this fall, and had plenty Of
time for clearing land. Hands were
numerous and their hire cheap, In
the river bottoms they have
been utilized in cordwOod chopping
by many land owners. Many of the
latter, as well as their employers,
have been scantib supplied with
money, and the masters of steamers
have in many instances found it ia
their interest to buy wood for fuel
from their patrons, and they have
done it freely. Besides this various
vessels from the Ohio and elsewhere
have passed south with light cargrei
and have filled up spare space will
coal fuel from upper country yards
where prices are lower than here anc
nearer the gull.
Then, too, the supply has been am
pie at all southern depots Light de
mand all through the simmer and fall
months kept the stocks from beipI
materially reduced, and the recen
rise in the Ohio enabled dealers Il
send out additional stocks, so that al
who sell black diamonds are we'll pro
vided.
The foregoing are the combining
influences which have borne heavily
on the market. Dealers complain tina
at the former ruling figures there wa
little or no profit in the business, AM
at present nominal figures they ar
bound to sustain losses.

ODD FELLOWS MEMORIAL
SERVICES
In Honor OF Che Late Grand Sec
Rotary orthe Sovereign
Grand Lodge.

Memorial services in respect to the
memory Of the late James L. Ridgely,
are to be held at tho Cumberland
Presbyterian church, on Court street,
next Sunday night, commencing at
half past seven o'clock. Il is under
stood that the Rev. II. A. Jones will
oficiate on the solemn occasion, and
that musical and other appropriate
ceremonies arc to be part Of the pro-
grammo. The various lodges Of the
city have had committees at work per-
fecting the details oftho services for
some weeks past, and it is expected
that tho members of the order, to.
gother with their families, will turn
out largely on the interesting occa,
sion.
The late Grand Secretary Of the
Sovereign Grand Lodge ofthe United
States, Mr.. james Lot Ridgely, was
one Of the most eminent men in the
order Of Odd Fellows, and, it is said,
did more for the Advancement of the
interests Of this BENEVOLENT society
than any living man. He was the
author Of the Ritual and many other
works used by the order, was its Grand
Sire for several years, and for forts
two years occupied the responsible
and delicate position Of Grand Sec.
rotary to the Grand Lodge, a
place Of trust which he hOnored by the
exhibition Of marked ability aud sat-
isfactiOn. Mr.. Ridgely was a resident
of Baltimore, where he welded a wide
influence as a citizen of worth and
energy, often holding positions Of trust
aud honor by the votes of his fellow
men. He was better known perhaps
than any other Odd Fellow by his
brethren of that mystic order, and
wherever known he commanded es-
TEEN and respect. He died some
weeks since at Baltimore at the
advanced age of seventy-fve years.
The memorial services alluded to
above are to be general on the same
day in many parts of the country. The
lodges of the order throughout Ohio
have chosen that date for memorial
services in respect to their departed
brother, and in addition the lodges Of
that State have voted to appropriate
the sum Of five cents per capita Of
their membership toward the erection
Of a suitable monument over his re-
mains. This movement had its origin
in Connecticut, and has spread west
ward to other States. As this order
numbers over half a millisn members,
a handsome sum would be realized
should all the lodges Of the country
participate in the movement.
