JAMES ABRAM GARFIELD.

JAMES ABRAM GARFlELU.
'He was the nobest Roman of thern ALL"
"Take him all In all, ne'er shall see his like
again"
When the terrible news Of the assassi-
nation of the President was flashed over
the wires on the I'd of July last, the civil
lied world was shocked. The deep in
terest daily manifested since has present
ed spectacle the like of which was new
er known. The alternating seasons Of
hope and dependency are ovcr,---the no.
BILE, heroic President is dead. The mur-
derous bullet did it's deadly work, after
eighty days of suffering on the part Of
the victim, and prayerful solicitude Of the
people.
Our columns are too brief to attempt
any eulogy, but we must record our pro-
found veneration for one of the greatest,
if not the greatest man, all things consid-
cred, of the nineteenth century, perhaps
that the country has ever produced. His
life is worthy the study and imitation of
every American boy. Born in the hum
blest walks of life, by his own efforts,
guided always by an implicit faith in an
overruling Providence, he reached the
highest attainable earthly position, the
Presidency of the United States, without
compromising his character as an up
right Christian gentleman. HIS success
reflects credit upon our institutions, and
history will point to him as one of the
most illustrous Of men, the pages OF
whose life will be unfoldcd without q
blot.
In contemplating the history Of James
A. Garfield let every American boy see
his own possibilities. He was the archi-
tect of his own fortune, an honor to his
parents, an ornament 10 tHe CHURCH, Il
blessing to society.
ssThough dead his works do follow
him. '-Inscrutable as the ways Of Provi-
dencc are, we must bow in humble sub
mission to this dispensation Of q kind
Heavenly Father, knowing that "He do
eth all things we'll" We doubt not the
wisdom of the long suffering of the
wounded President will be manifest in
the administration of his successor, as it
alreody is in the unity and fraternity man
ifested by the different sections Of the
country.
Nav President Arthur have the united.
hearty support of the people, and look to
the same unerring Source for guidance
and distinction as did his dead predeces-
sor.

In his address to the public, Mason ad-
mits that he has done "big wrong" in
shooting at Guiteau, but insists that he
would do it again if the opportunity pre-
sented. He thinks that 10000 men out
of %, 900 in the army would have done
precisely as he has. Mason dwells at
length on the difference between the com
Portable quarters of Guiteau and those of
the soldiers guarding him through the
inclement weather, and concludes that
the best way to equalize these conditions
is to kill Gitteau. The address is badly
written and reveals a fanatic mind.
