vas all for the best. "Pcople were ready
to receiveit. 1t is not possible that my
son James is dead. do not wish To-
live longer; 1 will soon follow him."

presidents body lies, is tied up with
Grape. and large portraits of the presi-
dent in Elberon are wreathed in black.
The flag over the military camp waves
gloo'nily at half mast.
The pight passed quietly, the guards
moved quietly about the cottage, and
within the president lay on the bed
where lie had suffered so bravely and
died at last. Warren and Stanley Brown
watched over it through the night.
Mrs. Garfield went to her room in an
adjoining cottage and paced the floor for
hours together DIR. Bliss appeared
early this morning, quite broken down in
appearance. He had not undressed at
all. He was the greatest man as a pa
tient, said he, whom l have ever seen;
never a mMmnr flom him. "Certainly,
If it is necessary" was his invarlable an.
swer when asked to endure any unpleas-
ant or painful treatment. Oh. but he is
changed now in appearance! He is so
thin and the light Of his eyes, which was
always fine one, is gone out; his face
has lost its natural expression, and he
has that thin aud cadaverous look that
is SO painful.

undoubtedly be taken 70 Washington to-
morrow. That is the result OF their con
ference with Mrs. Garfield. At first SHE
wished to go direct to Mentor, but sh,
has been convinced that it is due to tn,
nation that he should be taken to til,
capital. The cabinet members here can
not speak of the death without the gres

death, but in his opinion it was due t,
spasm of the heart induced by the floy
of blood clot.
