The Presidents Physicians.
New York Tribune.

There ii certainly no better time than
this Tor GRATEFULLY remembering the de
votion of the Presidents physicians.
They employed every means known to
science, with anxious fidelity and unset
fish zeal, and were not always supported
as they should have been by some of
their professional brethren. 1t is the
more gratifying, therefore, to read that
the American Academy of Medicine last
night adopted resolutions stating that the
prudent, faithful, and indefatigable at
tentions" of the physicians merit the ap-
proval of their medical brethren" and
adding that ain the opinion of the Eel
lows of the American Academy of Medi-
cine, all seems to have been done for the
1liusuious patient that scientific
knowledge and practical skill could sug-
gest to ward off the fatal effects of the
assassin's bullet" This is the belief, if
we are not mistaken, of the mass of in
telligent men everywhere An eminent
physician spoke the other day of the
Presidents medical attendance as being
"the best IN the world" If instead of
devoting themselves to showing how he
was "doctored to DEATH" as the quIdnuncs
have been doing, and will be doing
again, they might set themselves to cen
siderine By how much the unwearied
vigilance and acknowledged skill of the
Presidents physicians probably prolong-
I'd his life.

THE NEW PREsuDRNr.


The President of the United States,
Chester Allan Arthur, is a native of Frank
lin county, Vermont, where he was born
on the 5th of October, 1880, and will
therefore be 81 years old next month.
He is of Irish descent, his father having
emigrated from county Antrim when
quite q youth. President Arthur was
graduated at Union College, Schenectady,
New York, in 1S4s, and Immediately
commenced the study of Law, being sd
mitted to the bar in 1850. Soon after
ward he located in New York City and
formed partnership with Henry d.
Gardner After his admission to the bar
Mr.. Arthur married Ella Lewis Herndon.
a daughter of Lieutenant Herndon of the
United States navy. Lieutenant Herndon
was drowned in 1857, while command
ing, by permission, the steamer, Central
Amsrics. of the Law Roberts line of
California steamers, between New York
and Chagres. He sank with his vessel.
Mrs. Arthur died January IL, 1880, of
pneumonia, leaving two children, son
and daughter.
Mr.. Arthur's fist appearance in poll
tics was as q delegate to the Saratoga
convention which organized the Repub-
Hcan party in New York, but he took no
further public part in politics until after
the war During the war, by appoint
ment of Governor Morgan, he was first
Inspector General and then Quartermas-
ter General for the State. He then re-
sumed the practice of law, and soon
after became counsel to the Tax Commits
sion of New York, at 8 salary of $40,
900 per annum From that time General
Arthur has been an active and leading
politician of his State, and when Mr..
Murphy resigned the Collectorship of the
port of New York, in 1871, General
Grant at once appointed General Arthur
to that position. Four years after, when
his first term had expired, President
Grant reappointed him, and he remained
in Office until July. 1878, when President
Hayes superseded him by appointing Mr..
Merritt. This was Mr.. Arthur's official
experience at the time he was nominated
for the Vice Presidency by the Chicago
convention, in June, 1880.
The fractional fight in the State of New
York, and the activity displayed by Mr..
Arthur in the interest of Mr.. Conkling,
arraying him in opposition to
the administration, no doubt caused
some irritation in the party throughout
the country against the Vice-President.
But from the time President Garfield was
and his life imperiled the whole
course of Mr.. Arthur is above criticism;
indeed it has won for him the respect
of all parties. That he was greatly and
affected at the death of the
late President there is no doubt, and his
of the Presidency was with
the grestest reluctance. That he will
discharge his duties faithfully and with
ability is guaranteed by the integrity
and capacity he has displayed in every
position he has heretofore held. The
affairs of the country will be in safe |
hands while Chester A. Arthur is Presi- |
dent.

THE life of the man, whose mortal re-
mains will be inferred on Monday next
at Cleveland, more, perhaps, than any
other illustrates the possibilities of Amer
lean youth under the fostering care of
American institutions. Born in log
cabin, the son of humble pioneer, James
A. Garfield died the ruler of the greatest
Nation upon earth, the occupant of the
highest office In the world. Nor did he
reach this exalted position by violence
or conspiracy. 1t was the free voice of
the free men of America, who called him
to be the first man in the Republic. All
the way through life, from the log cabin
of his father to the White House of the
Nation, he was the friend of the people
and was loved and honored by the peo-
pie. And now when his great heart has
ceased to beat, and his manly form is
about to be laid in the tomb, not only
the people of his own land, but the rul-
ers and peoples of all other civilized
lands, join in pronouncing a benediction
upon his name.
9arlAnds upon his grave,
And flowers upon his hearse
And to the tender heart and brave
The tribute of this verse.
TIA star were Quenched on high,
For ages would its light,
Stiu travelling downward from the sky
Shine our mortal sight.
So, when the good man dies,
For years beyond our ken,
The light he leaves behind him lies

The Late Presldent's Sufferings.
New York Tribune.

new 1OkA xK1Ouu0
So little of complaint or repining was
heard from the sick bed of the late Pres
ident, so heroic was his persistent cheer
fulness, that the impression grew general
that he suffered very little and that he
was not aware of the gravity of his con-
dition. This was an error and is calcu-
lated to detrsct from the true grandeur
of the example which this great man has
left US In his death. His sufferings were
terrible and almost constant. In one of
the last dreadful days at Elberon a
spasm of-pain seized him when his wife
was present. He tried to conceal his ag-
ony from her, but she observed he was
suffering and asked, "What hurts you,
deara" He replied, at hurts only to
live!" He was courteous and cheerful
to all about him, even after all hope
of recovery had gone from him.
Talking on the last day with
Colonel Rockwell, knowing his end was
near, and wondering, in his manly hui
mility, whether he had done enough to
be remembered, he said, Rockwell, I
fully realize my situation" and then after
a long silence said with pathetic intensi-
ty, "Do yeu think my name will have q
place in human historyT To which his
friend replied: "Yes, q grand one, but q
grander place in human hearts" Even
before the flight to Elberon he knew that
he would not live, and yet he heartened
and cheered every one around his bed
side witty his own indomitable courage.
But hs-rR not attempt-to deceive him-
self. Wien on one occasion, he was
wheeled on his bed from his own room
across the hall, Colonel Rockwell said:
"You have made this short journey so
well that you can easily attempt longer
one" "Yes," he replied, at can easily
expand into the long, long journey
home"
COifax's Opinion of General Arthur.
Statement in Chicago Inter-Ooean.
IL have the highest opinion of Presi-
dent Arthur as q man, as an officer, and
as Republican He exhibited peculiar
organizing qualities in connection with
the campaign in New York. He admin
istered various trusts under the State and
Nation, aud though somewhat criticized,
has boz ne the test of scrutiny and inves-
and have no doubt that those
eighty days of preparation since that
fatal bullet was fred, will enable him to
enter on the Presidency with much more
cordlal support from all classes In all
sections, and with more thorough con-
fidence ia the success of his administra-
ton than if the Presidents death had
come suddenly"
In reference to another point, the emf
1ent Hoosier said:
"What seemed in history to be the
of the three Vice Presidents
who came to the Presidency on the death
of the Presidents was that they attempt
ed to reverse the policy of the President
elected by the nation, and inaugprated a
diverse one. l believe General Arthur
has act with RI msrksblc discretion,
and with the cordial appreciation of ali
sections of the people, as well as of polit
cal friends, and there is no doubt that
ne will continue in the path that his
chief had marked out, harmonizing the
party, and harmonizing the nation as
WE'LL"
