An Ideal Wife.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-Henry E.
Knox, United States marshal for the
Southern district of New York, is
in the city He was u classmate of
General Garfield at Williams College,
and is intimately acquainted with his
family. In conve sation with the
Commercial correspondent to~day,
Mr. Knox said: "To me the most
touching thing of this sad affair is
the perfect devotion manifested by
Mrs. Garfield. The American peo-
pie do not know her yet, but they
will come to love her before the end
of the Presidents term She
is not fashionable woman
in any sense. While her husband
was member of the House she did
not mix to any degree in the winter
society in the capital. She passed
most of her time at home, supervis-
ing the educa ion of their children,
who were not sent to a preparatory
school for college until very recent
ly. The intense devotion witch she
feels for her husband and which the
President in equal measure recipro-
Gates, can hardly be understood by
those who do not know both we'll.
[ remember one evening when Mrs.
Garfield was lying very dangerously
Ill at the White House. I sat upon
the south porch of the building
with the President He had
been up watching the greater
part of the two nights previous, and
was badly worn. He began to talk
about his wife. I cannot remember
his words exactly, but they were of
this import: II think that take her
all in ali she is made of the finest
fiber of any woman I ever saw. Her
nerve and courage are rarely found
in one of her sex, and to think that
she is lying up airs possibly dying.
and cannot save her...If thought
that her return to perfect health
C uld be. insured by my resigning
the Presidency, would not hesitate
a moment about doing it Her life
is the most precious thing to me on
earth" Mr.. Knox continued: "She
is now nanifesting the same anxious
devotion and care for him that he
showed for her. She will not be-
come i'll under the strain either, for
she is Eerved up to the emergency,
and is strong enough to bear the
strain"

A Letter From jefferson Davis.

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 9.-The Courier
Journal prints the following:
BEAUvoIR, HARRISON Co., MISS, July s.
Mr.. Findley A. Collins, Dear Sir: have
received yours of the 4th inst, and thank
you for the kind expressions it contained.
The evil influences to which you refer as
causing the bitterness felt towards Southern
men. it may fairly be expected will give way
to the sober sense of the people, if they
shall, like yourself, detect the sordid
motive for which stin ula is are admin
istered. l will not, ke tn telegram you
cite in regard to the attempted assassination
of the President, say l am thankful the
assassin was not Southern man, but / will
say regret he is an American A crime
black enough in itself has a deeper dye from
the mercenary motive which seems to have
prompted it. 1 sincerely trust that the
President may recover, and that the start
ling event will arouse the people to the con-
sideration of remedy for the demoraliza-
ton which wild hunt after Office is Great
ing. With the best wishes for your welfare,
l am, very truly, yours.

THE PRESIDENTS WOUND.
DIR. Hamilton on the Probable
Course Of The bali.
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
New YORK, July 9-Dr. F. H.
Hamilton said this evening that the
very favorable condition of the
President for several days gave
much ground for the belief that he
would ultimately recover. In reply
to questions regarding the nature Of
the wound, as judged in the light of
history of the case, DR.. Hamilton
said: g Evidence is daily increasing
that no internal vital organ has suf-
fered any serious. or what might be
termed fatal, injury. This implies
that the ball must have suffered
detection from it's original course,
and there seems much - reason to
suppose that it eventually took
its way down toward the
lower part of the abdominal cavity,
and that it is resting now some
where in that region at point prob
ably where it does not seriously ems
danger life. Twill not speak of the
abscess which is likely to form at the
probable seat Of the ball as seriously
endangering the Presidents life.
The bullet may remain where it ia for
an indefinite period for aught we
know, becoming encisted, or, what is
more probable, matter, will be formed
about it in sufficient quantity to rem
der absorption impossible Then
the matter will, by an established
law of nature, in healthy constitu>
ton, such as that of the President,
gradually and safely work its
way to the surface and be discharged.
The abscess formed about the ball,
may direct itself toward the skin
through some of the numerous out.
let's between the muscles, when it
will reach point under the skin, SO
as to be felt by the finger to fuctu-
ate. Then the abcess can be safely
opened, and the matter permitted to
escape. Sooner or later after this the
channel through which pus has
passed out may be examined by
probe, and the exact seat Of the ball
in this channel be determined, and
the bullet extracted. Or the abcess
may seek the surface by advancing
toward the skin by making perfor-
alton into an intestine, which is an
equally safe mode of egress.
By this method many balls
have been discharged from
the abdominal cavity. Not a
few, indeed, have escaped by SINH
lar process into the bladder, but in
this case surgical operation is neces-
sary to extract them namely, an in.
cision like that made for ordinary
operation for stone in the Bladder,
By any of these methods the ball
may be removed without trife OF
danger to the President"
When asked if any anxiety need
be felt in case it should prove that
none of the vital organs sustained
serious injury, DR.. Hamilton said
there would then be little ground for
apprehension. There would be little
fear but that nature would take care
of the ball, Or enable it to be safely
removed by surgical means.
