on Monday the sigus ofmourning will be
universal. No such feeling has ever
been manif sted by the English people
before on the death ofthe ruler of another
nation. When the Prince Consort died
twenty years ago the public paid no
such honors to his memory as they are
now paying to that of General Garfield.
"Albert the Good" as bis euloglsts call
ed him, ne yer obtained hold OF Eng
land, he was from first to last regarded
as "wee German lairdie" and "Hano-
verian rat" and when he died popular
sympathy went out to the Queen but
there was no genuine mourning for the
teminent foreigner" President Gar
fields life and death, however, have ap'
pealed strongly to the best feelings Of
England. The English democracy, now
all-powerful, was proud to know that a
man of its rank aud condition had been
made the ruler OF fifty millions of peo-
Pile while the late Presidents family
relations, the purity of his private life,
the pluck he showed when the doctors
were hacking and hewing him, and the
brave front which he met death, stirred
the heart of the people in a wonderful
degree. The ma me of Garfield is now
house hold word throughout these islands
Nothing could be more noble OF gensr-
than the sympathy of the people.

Cuckoo, of this city, says 1.-THE
tones Of the bells will find their way
across the sea tomorrow and reach
those standing at the graveside in
Ohio and help teach the world that
three thousand miles Of ocean cannot
divide the sympathies of two kindred
nations when the hand of aff1iction
has been laid heavily on one or the
other"
