GUITEAU HAS MADE A
JUDGE.

Guiteau has made Supreme Judge as
well as a President, and he is not
hanged yet. There is not human be-
ing in the country so ignorant as to be-
lieve that Mr.. Roscoe COnkling would
have been awarded the highest judicial
office in the gift of the President if a
cOld-blOOded assassin had not first muir
dered the President whom the people
elected. For that horrible murder no
man living is thought by the people of
the United States more responsible than
Mr.. Conkling himself.
Meanwhile on the day of his resignation,
his disciple, Guiteau, bought his pistol,
and the very physician, who was after
wards called in to probe the Presidents
wound, went about saying that Gar
field deserved to be shOt.-lNew York

which his wearied mind bestowed ON
the transitOry struggles of life.
"MOre than this need not be said. Less
than this could not be said. Justice to
the dead, the highest obligation that de-
wolves upon the living, demands the
declaration that in all the bearings of
the subject, actual or possible, the Presi-

THE SHOT OF THE ASSASSIN.
"On the morning of Saturday, July I'd,
the President was cOntented and happy
man-nOt in an ordinary degree, but
jOyfully, almost bOyishly happy. On his
way to the railroad station, he drove
slowly, in conscientious enjoyment of
the beautiful morning. He felt that
after four months of trial his admins
tratiOn was strong in its grasp of affairs,
strong in popular favor and destined to
grow stronger; that grave difficulties
confronting him at his Inauguration
had been safely passed.
Surely, if happiness can ever come
from the hOnOrs or tTiumphs of this
world, on that quiet July morning James
A. Garfield may we'll have been happy
man. No fOTebOding of evil haunted
him; no slightest premOnitiOn of danger
clOuded his sky. His terrible fate was
upon him in an instant. One moment
he stood erect, strong, confident in the
years stretching peacefully out before
him. The next he lay wounded, bleed
ing, helpless, doomed to weary weeks of
torture, to silence, and the grave.
MIR. BLAINE's CONCLUSION.
GAS the end grew near, his early crav-
ings for the sea returned. The stately
mansion of power had been to him the
wearisOme hospital of pain, and he
begged to be taken from its prison walls,
from its oppressive, sitting air, from its
hOmelessness and its hOpelessness.
Gently, silently the love of great peO-
pie bore the pale sufferer to the lOnged-
for healing of the sea, to live or to die.
as God should will, within sight of its
heaying billOws, within sound of its
manifold voices. With wan, feVered face
tenderly lifted to the cooling breeze, he
looked out wistfully upon the oceans
changing wonders; on its far sails
whitening in the morning light on its
restless waves, rolling shOreway to
break and die beneath the MONDAY sun;
on the red clouds of evening, marching
low to the horizon; on the serene and
shining pathway of the stars. Let us
think that his dying eyes read mystic
meaning which only the rapt and part
ing soul may know. Let us believe that
in the silence of the receding world he
heard the great waves breaking on the
further shore, and felt already upon his
wasted brow the breath of the eternal
morning."
Blaine ceased his speech at thirteen
minutes to two o'clock, having spoken
for one hour and twenty-seYen minutes.

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION IN CARRIAG e
FAoToRY.-The carriage shops of Mr.. Nathan
Grafton, near Forest Hill, caught fire, in mys-
terious way, on the 18th of last May, and were
entirely destroyed. The factory was rebuilt and
work proceeded as before. Last Friday morning
upon entering the shops, it was discovered that
the building had narrowly escaped burning
again hole, 81 by ~ inches, was found to
have been burned entirely through the floor of
the paint shop, and thr ough this opening ashes
had dropped into the thunderstorm beneath. At
the edge of the hole was partially burned rag,
that had been saturated with Valentines Patent
Wood Filling and after being used was thrown
upon the floor. This substance is extensively
used by carriage makers. 1t is applied to the
wood work with brush and afterwards rubbed
dangerous character had not been suspected be-
fore. Upon investigation Mr.. Grafton ascer-
tanned that on Thursday evening his painter,
after printing a number of wheels with the
Wood Filling, in the wood-shop, had carried
the rag he used up stairs and dropped it on the
floor by itself.
About 3 O'Clock at night Mr.. Horace b. Twin
ing, while passing the shop, observed peculiar
odor and alighting from his carriage examined
the premises from the outside, but could dis
cover no signs of fire.
There can be no doubt that the compound
named was the cause of the fire and also of the
disaster at the same place last May. The day
before the latter fire occurred rags that had been
used with the Wood Filling were thrown on the
floor of the wood-shop, among the shavings,
and the fire first broke out at that point.
To test the matter last Friday Mr. Grafton's
workmen saturated q cloth with Valentines
Patent Wood Filling and placed it in tin
bucket. In few hours spontaneous combus-
tion of the cloth took place and the bucket be-
came so hot that it could not be touched with
the hand. The odor from it, also, was peculiar
and disagreeable.
Mr.. Grafton says carriage makers have been
using the wood filling for years, with safety,
| but he thinks change has been made in the
formula that renders it exceedingly dangerous
to use. The fire that destroyed Mr.. John A.
Hanna's coach shops, in Bel Air. on the 18th of
last June, is now believed to have originated
from the same cause. The large carriage fac
tory of McLear & Kendall, at Wilmington, Del
aware, and another at Middletown, Del, have
\ also been destroyed by fire recently, and, it Is
presumed, from q similar cause

The health Of our neighborhood is hetter than
for many years at this season. We are also ia
vored with abundant crops. Wheat is far ahead
of the general yield for many years; the corn is
good generally, and the tomatoes. which are no
small part of the crops of vicinity, beyond
the expectations of many. the vines being laden
with fruit. As we passed through the tomato
fields of our neighbor, Mr.. James Il. Knight we
counted l3 full-sized tomatoes on one stem. and
from 80 to GO on one vine. Mr.. Knight has about
35 acres in tomatoes. and we think his crop will
not be less than 800 bushels to the acre. Knight

have contracted for the sale of several thousand
cases at a good price.
