The Presidents Relatives.

A correspondent Of the New York Herald
telcgraphed as follows from Cleveland yes
terday:
"Mrs. Garfield, the mother, being to-day
visited by your correspondent, was much
interested in the arrangements making for
the funeral, and touched by the kindness
which is so universal. She will remain in
Solon until the last moment, as 1t is feared
that the hustle and excitement of the city
will at such time be hurtful to her. She
has read the newspapers assiduously. In
the conversation of to-day mention was
made of the fact that the face of the dead
President is said to be much discolorcd.
Mrs. Larrabee, his sister, said;
81 do not wish to sec him. j could not
bear to look at him when so changed"
Her mother was silent for a moment, and
then said:
al must sec him. cannot let him go
without looking upon his face again for he
was my boy, you know"
There is now new trouble at Solon
Mrs. Trowbridge, sister of the President, is
watching beside the bedside of her little
granddaughter, who recently came from the
West to her house. The child is hopelessly
consumptive and very near death-so near
that Mrs. Trowbridgc will probably be pre-
vented from attending the funeral of her
brother.
The Evening critic., 1881-09-23
"strangIed for the Republic.''

Washington Correspondent Boston Post.
Among those who stood on the platform
at the railway station waiting for the fune-
raj train was Steward Crump, the faithful
attendant on President Garfield until he
himself was lad in bed of sickness. A
sufferer from an attack Of nervous prostra-
tion, not malaria, as he cmphatically in
formed me. / asked him something Of the
Presidents illness, especially as to the illu-
sions under which he labored when he was
reported to be delrious. 1t will be recol-
locted that it was denied that the President
had any delusions, but Mr. Crump tells n
different story. He says that the mental
wanderings Of the President was not con-
fined to. the moments just after awaking
from sleep. He said the illusions came ON
at all times. AS an illustration of this he
said that one day after the President had
lain silent a long time, he said, "Crump,
what are those men doing therc?" "Therc
are no men here, Mr.. President, responded
Crump. Certainly there are, insisted
the President, and you must tell them to
60 away" Mr.. Crump could not con-
vince him that he was laboring under de-
lusion and therefore he rose and said.
"Gentlcmen the President cannot see you
to-day. You must go away, now" The
President thanked him and then anxiously
inquired if he had hurt the feelings of his
imaginary intruders. At another timo he
was choking from an accumulation of
phlegm and insisted that some one had him
by the throat, nor would he be satisfied
until Crump had beaten off the assail-
ant. 1t is improbable that the Prcsi-
dent did not realize the extreme
dangers of his situation. To-day |
heard a very interesting and somewhat
startling confirmation of the theory. 1t
will be recollected that it was announced
that the President had signed his name one
day simply to test his nerves it was before
he wrote the letter to his mother. The sig
nature was said to have been good but the
fact was concealed that the sick man wrote
something else, and that something of a
very significant character. He took the
pad from the doctor, and after thinking
awhile, wrote these words: " strdnguldtus pro
republica," stiangled for the republic.
