where she became engaged to General
Garfield, she went 10 Cleveland as a
teacher In the public schools, while he
continued his studies at Williams Col
lege, aud took his degree there.
She understands business, having
planned the plain though comm odious
house at Washington and superin-
tended most of the improvements on
the farm at Mentor, bought two years
ago. She is the daughter of plain
farmer-her maiden name was Lucre-
tia Rudoiph-and is remote descen-
dant of General Nathaniel Green Of
Revolutionary renown. Mrs. Eliza
Ballou Garfield, seventy-nine years
old, mother of the general, is acute,
sagacious, old-fashioned, small in
stature and still vigorous, and makes
her home with her son, who is greatly
attached to her and eager to show his
attachment. She has much influence
with him, and will not probably be a
lay figure in the White House.

GEN. GARFIELD'S FAMILY.
New York World.1

The present executive of the nation
has, like the retiring executive, four
sons-Harry, aged i6; James, II;
Irwin, 10, and Abram, s, all repres-
ented as good and bright boys-and
one daughter, Mollie, aged -. The
two eldest boys are at Concord, n. H.,
preparing for college. Last summer
Harry took the prize for defamation.
Mrs. Garfield is described as very in
teliigcnt looking woman, of about
forty-five, with a somewhat rural
manner, having been born and bred in
the country, and having never taken
on urban Ways. She is very thin, but
bears traces of youthful comeliness.
She had good country academy edu-
cation, with hardly any accomplish
mcnts, and is an excellent, economi-
cal housekeeper. She entertained
very little during her husbands con.
gresaional career, and is reputed to
have no fondness for miscellaneous
saciety. Her sense of personal dignity
is marked, and her reserve of manner
approaches asperity. She is fond OF
reading, aud feels deep interest il
/ the studies OF her children. After go

GERMANY UNDER BISMARCK.
[London Standard,l


Nearly all the German minor gov
! ernments seem to oppose Prince Bis
marck's design to extend the new
Prussian commercial parliament to all
Germany, and to establish an imperial
board for the pensiouing of invalid
laborers by the German central govern
ment. Even those minor governments
which admit the expediencey of these
designs, and the possibility of making
them work, are for the most part dis
inclined to allow their being carried
out by central imperial authorities. AS
the Liberals likewise regard these
plans of their great adversary as calcu-
lated at once to weaken Parliament
and make the lower orders personally
dependent upon the imperial author
tiles, increase pccuniary expense and
to the political annihilation of the
Weather classes, the struggle is likely
to assume serious proportions, the more
so as the like intentions arc discovered
in the project conversationally announ-
ced by the prince to dives: the town
councils of the right hitherto possessed
by them, within certain limits, to con-
duct the public, secret police and poor
law administration. Add to this the
Princes old idea of restricting direct
| taxation, raising an immense sum by
indirect imposts, and distributing
| among the town and country councils
that portion which will not be wanted
for imperial purposes, and you are in
a position to understand the Chancellor
Were it ever carried out, the Rerlin
central Government would be made ON.
nipotent with the seml-minsterial assis-
tance of the lower classes; the local self
government of the people, as we'll as the
minor courts, would be annihilated,
and the cultivated portion of society
| would be deprived of all independent
influence upon the conduct of public
affairs. Prince bismarck has long at
tanned TO something like parliament
tary omnipotence by dividing the
Liberals into Liberals and Ultramon-
tanes still, what he aspires to in the
present instances is 80 stupendously at
variance with the actual condition and
prevailing spirit of German society
that there is no chance of his projects
being realized during the continuance
of peace. Should war break out, the
universal desire to keep him at the
head of the foreign Office in troublous
times might induce people to put up
with some more unpalatabie innova-
tions in matters domestic but even in
this case it is universally admitted
that his reforms would not outlast his
tenure of Office. Even now what peo-
pie think of it all is more easily inn
agined than described.

\ WONDERFUL LAND.

Captain Lawson has written Il book
about his journey in New Guinea. He
discovered Il large river flowing north,
and on its shores he counted in one
hour no less than 314 crocodiles. He
tells us that New Guinea abounds with
monkeys, tigers, deer and buffaloes (of
the latter he passed a herd number
ing over ten thousand head within II
quarter of a miie), while it is we'll
known fact that Australia and the
whole Of the Polynesian Islands are
almost solely inhabited by quadrupeds
of the marsupial tribe. He was fortunate
enough to Kill serpent measuring
forty feet in lenghth, and he startles
naturalists by the description of a but
terfy measuring one foot with spread
wings, and of An elm-lil<c tree which
reached the respectable height of 337
feet, having n circumference Of S5 feet
On a big tree the traveller counted
over ! 900 birds nests, the whole group
of trees containing not less that 20, 900;
and to perpetuate his name, he dis
covers and describes a new species of
ducks, although we should consider it
rather precariouS undertaking, even
for ornithologists, to classify on the
! spot any new species of birds without
having the means of referring to cog.
nate forms. But the most marvellous
feat performed by Captain Lawson Is
still in store for us. Leaving his camp
ing place at the foot of Mount Hercules
| (2,o90 feet above the level of the sea) al
o'clock in the morning, he ascended
the giant mountain to the height o.
25,314 feet, and reached home again al
7:2O O'Clock the same evening. This i
smart work, indeed, considering tina,
for 10 600 feet the traypIIcr had tC DaSs
over snow-fiefds.

NOT GOFF, BUT HUNT.

Already Major Goff, who last week
was the highest naval authority In
the land, has Withdrawn from his natI-
lical career, being reapp0intel to tho
| same District Attorneyship from which
the urgent needs of our Navy sum-
moned him. 1t thus appears that his
original berth was kept warm for him,
and free from fntrutfers, lest life on
the ocean wave should not prove per-
manently attractive to the young tar
of the Kanawha.
This rcnunciation Of seafaring way,
was much more remarkable In tho case
of Major GoH than in that of Ancient
Mariner Thompson, who only with
drew from ocean to canal navigation
for which he had always had Il great
fancy However, his late experience,
extending through a period Of no less
than two months, mny perhaps make
Major GoT II leading practitioner In
marine courts and high authority in
maritime law.
1t is pleasant TO recall with what
gravity Major Goff exercised his func-
tions as head OF the Navy, with what
conscientiousness he sought to guide
Congress in the may paths Of naval
legislation, and what Difference that
body paid to his nautical wisdom.
Arctic navigation was like opcn-sea
sailing to him and in his opinion of
coaling stations on the Isthmus, he
seemed more like an aged salt who had
| never been away from the smell of
bilge water than like Il lawyer fresh
from the back woods.
But already this West Virginia salt
has lost his official SAVIOR. Nobody
seems to care now what Ee thinks
about the proper style of vessel to send
after the Jeannette. Nobody would
like TO hear him try TO box the COM
pass by way of enlivcning IL converse
ton; and those grizzlcd veterans Of
the Navy Department who lately lis
tened opcn-mouthed to his maritime
ideas, probably now look at him as
mere frcsh-water sailor, fiom the
region OF tadpole and pusf-poie navi-
CATION, where Congress spends money
in making puddlcs ten inches deep.
The true naval authority whom the
veterans now revere is that genuine
son of Neptune, Judge Hunt, who is
now universally admitted to be chocl<
full of naval science.-N. Y. iS,W.

Capt. Eads says the reason why lso feels
SO sure that his railway will be built IL

and j shall carry the grant to Eng
land and see what will be done there.
They will not be blind to Its atlvan-
tagcs If congress is; and In the event
l can get no government aid 1 can
build the railway by private enter

SO thoroughly that i know this can be
done, but i do not want to take this
last alternative.
The route by tho isthmus is only
1000 miles longer than the average OF
| the trans.continental railways, and
this furnishes sure remc,.y.MRninst a
carrying monopoly bat If private en-
terprise builds the road there Is no
guarantee that the same syndicate
might not get control of the railways,
as we'll as the isthmus route, and thus
prevent the competition SO desirable.
