WHO KILLED GARFIELD.

The assassin's name we all know, the
man who fred the shot has but just been
declared guilty; but the names of those
who are morally although not legally re-
sponsible are only limited at. When in
that court room at Washington Scoville
spoke out and called the names of the men
who had by their acts melted the deed,
when he arrsigned them before the bar of
heaven as the true moral criminals there
was throughout the land a murmer of as
sent. When he said that the stalwarts
Arthur, Conkling, Grant all the three
hundred and six were the responsible par
ties, men nodded their head in an affirm
alive answer. Men have been shy of ex-
pressing their opinion but one man has
come forward who dares say what he be-
1ieves to be the truth. Col. Tom Nichols.
fast friend of President Arthur In
late number Of the New York Tribune he
writes:
All you who glory in the. name OF
tstalwart, and who took part in the vilif
cation and abuse of President Garfield,

official action or degrade and destroy his

FRED MAY.

The Frederic May who married the
neice of the dead California millionaire
O'Brien is the brother of the Miss May
that James Gordon Bennett was engaged to
and the man who had the mock duel with
Bennett in consequence. He is six feet one
inch in height, of splendid physique and
one of the handsomest men in New York.

A MISTAKE.

The Buckner bill is grave error, and
the democrats of both House and Senate
should long hesitate before they in any
manner committed themselves to it. It
is crude and incomplete. and as present
drawn has been well styled "An act to
create a panic"

charity. We know one minister, in
this city, who gives more to bless the
poor and provide for their wants. in
six months, than Ingerson would ever
give, although earning more in one
night than this preacher does in two
years. His religion prompts him to
these deeds. What does the blatant
detamer's prompt him to do!
All the se-called arguments of this
soulless slanderer have been met and
controverted time and again. We
need not here repeat the inv'ncible ar
gument for tho truth of christianity.
But We ask q careful reading of the
following words from one who had
been 4 devoted disciple of this infidel,
in reference to the above quotation
from one of his speeches:
"All that is . downright lie, and Mr.
Ingersoll must have known it to be

ter able to conquer and defend VIXEN
q conflict Of opinions would destroy the
very elements Of right and justice. A
healthy tone OF the mind il Of far more
import than the same result of the
body. Mental anguish has caused
more sorrow than the pain of the body.
Who ever knew q suicide from pain o:
the body alone! But the mind, racked,
tortured ,maddened, has filled ten thsu.
sand nameless graves. They who
possess no resources within themselves,
who never wish to be alone, because
untitled by other peoples acts and
thsugts, are mere pititul objects than
they who suffer for bread Better an
absence Of gold than head without
y mind. Great minds mourn the er-
rors and failures Of genius, small ones
rejoice thereat.
There may be beauty, but without
mind it is the rose without perfume,
it is the lily without the stamen, and
it is the body without the harmony,
which in after years will bring quiet
and content, and that rest which is as
balm to the suffering and everburthen-
ed. The mind writes its Impress
in the features, and its sculptured lines
are far more beautiful if chisled by
noble thoughts. than the most delicate
tinting of the Inner which draws its
inspiration from physical attributes
alone. Finally, the mind which is full
Of purity end piety is like charity, it
covers net alone the individual, but
the whole race of humanity.

city was net generally known and he
had few callers.-Associated Press
Report.
A young gentleman in Buffalo
writes to Mr.. Adam Ittel, cashier of
the citizens national bank of this city,
under date of Nov. rs. as follows {:
X X X X
Yesterday morning Mr.. Clevelasd,
gsvernor-elect, walked down to the
Central depot, bought a ticket for Al
bany, spent most of the day with
Governor Cornell, and hardly
a soul knew any thug
about it-even his intimate friends.
The Central railroad people offered
him q special train to convey him to
Albany at the time of his Inauguration
and be like q gentleman, knowing his
business, has declined the offer, and he
is reported as saying. it was vas sim
gular the railroad company had!not
done it before when be was q private
citizen.
All this kind of business takes with
the people. One night this ~eek l
was at the theatre and who should
walk in but Grover Cleveland, and
such cheering was never heard. He
is . bigger man than Grant, just now,
not only in Buffalo, but throughout

THE MIND.

Chaplin says that Emusic, scul pture
poetry, painting-these are glorious
works, but the mind that creates them
is more glorious than they" 1t is
true, music may be silenced, the mar
bic may crumble BY the hand Of time.
poetry may be forgotten and the pages
that held it be lost forever, but the
mind immortal, deathless, shall sing q
newer Song, carve . more sublime
ideal, chaunt a sweeter rhythm and
guaff from . spring which is not for q
time but for an eternity. The mind
of the spirit, which is certainly the In
tellect, is ap attribute which is super
ior to even the faculties of the SOU, for
it is the conscious conscience and free
will of the spirit and its thoughts and
ideas influence the soul as we'll as the
body. The mind can create, it can
understand, it can reason, solve and e
nally exercise faith, hope. charity and
love for both God and man. 1t is
like q spark that glows and burns.
which, when smoothered, dies out and
falls into the ashes Of decay. 1t must
be active, it must be renewed, it must
be strengthened, else the quiet
monstony will cause it to perish.
Next to God, man is the greatest
mystery known to himself. Apart
from bis superior intellect be would
be one Of the most abject creatures in
existence, but the gifts Of bis mind are
able to cover every defect. Misshapen
indeed may be the body, hideous the
features, but With mind which is
like fount Of pure waters. inexhaust-
IDLE and full of the sweetest, rarest
roses. he is a creature to envy, for he
is unde6led by the scorn of the world,
he is untroubled BY its harsh criticisms
and he hes peace and beauty and al
things glad and great and grand. The
mind Of child is like sheet of white
paper, but how often by the careless
ness ofthose to whom this priceless treas.
ure is entrusted it is written over with
characters which are not straight and
perfect, but blotted and scrawled with
such IN indelible tracing that while
life lasts the record will remain. The
mind must plunge downward into vice
Or upward into those celestial heights
where virtue dwells and confirms the |
revelation that there is q life which |
comes from God that cannot die.
Mental pleasures never cley. nor can
hey, if true and pure, ever satiate.
The bedy may weary but the mind
of BY honor may repeat and
'e-repeat and yet there is happiness
md an enjoyment which is the best
,nder heaven.
It is said that if the mind be braced
y conflict, By the necessity Of diff.
'ult questions, then will it be the bet.
