crate soldiers resident in Cincinnati
and its vicinity, arrived in Cleveland
on the 22d bringing with them me.
mortal tribute to James A. Garfield in
the form of eulogistic and sympathetic
resolutions engrOssed Oh parchment
and framed in vari-colored Tennessee
marble, highly polished and cut from a
single block about two feet square with
the United States coat-of-arms in Mex
lean onyx inlaid at each corner. The
committee called upon Mrs. Garfield.
selecting Washington's birthday as an
appropriate time, Maj. G. A. Withers,
formerly Adjutant-Genera of Gen. j.
Ill. MOrgan's staff, made the following
address,:
at is with mingled feelings of graf
ification and regret that have the
honor, madam, of presenting to you
this memorial of the ex-Confederate
soldiers Of Cincinnati. 1t is gratifying
that we can truthfully and feelingly
unite our voices i'm cOmmendatiOn of
the lamented dead with those of the
many thousands of common people,
and the occasion which called for such
sentiments is painful in its recOllections
and as fully deplOred by the people of
the South us by those Of any other sec
tiOn. The unanimity with which these
resolutions were passed, and the ex
pressiOns conveyed therein, speak more
than any words of mine, and you can
rest assured, madam, that in them is
voiced the tribute of all old soldiers of
the South to the sterling worth of the
late President.
Mrs. Garfield with great effort re-
pressed her emotion, while the old
mother Oh the late President wept vio-
lently. Both ladies were clad in the
deepest mourning. The late Presidents
widow, her voice trembling with emo
tiOn, replied To the address of General
Withers as follows:
"GKNTLEMEN:-I am very grateful to you
and 10 those from whom this beautiful gift
comes, both for its sake and the sent ment sou
express"
The two mesdames Garfield then ex-
amined the memorial gift and express
ed their admiration of the frame to
Mr.. Kruhe, its aker, who said: my
heart went out in sympathy for the
President. l volunteered to make that
frame, and made it SO that it may re-
main a standing testimony of Southern
sentiment" Gen. Withers added: "And,
moreover, we want TO show these
Northern politicians that we ex-Con-
federates are not so black as they try
to make us out to be"
The younger hrs. Garfield responded:
ut had always been the Generals
greatest wish that there be no North,
no South. His earnest desire was to
see united country, and had he lived
-" Here her grief overcame her and
the sentence was unfinished.
After brief silence cOurtesies were
and the visitors withdrew,
driving to Lakeview cemetery where
Garfield's casket lies in vault.

NOT SUSPENDED ANIMATION.--At a
funeral which took place at Beechwood
cemetery asfew days since, an incident
occurred which served to frigbten more
than one party who attended. A coffin
containing the body Of a deceased
friend was placed in the vault, and the
mourners were leaving it when moan
was heard proceeding from where the
coffin lay. A general scare was the
result, and it was sometime before the
idea struck one of the party that it
might be case of suspended anima-
ton. An investigation was wade of
the vault by as1epdtation Of the most
courageous:of tue number, and 1t was
found that the means proceeded from a
large owl which had gained access.

John Il. Cough has been public
speaker for thirty-eight years and has
never met an audience that he did not
feel like running away from. The
older he grows the more timid he be-
comes. He was so frightened in Spur
geon's church that he was obliged to
calm himself i'm the vestry. He has
frequently been compelled to walk up
and down street in front of lecture
hall in order to cool off. He says that
the trouble with a platform orator is
that his best stories do not take with
the audience.

How greatly would human knowl-

ment has not only revealed the magni-
tude aud importance OF the unseen world
about us, and shown us many hidden
maryels. but it has furnished o means OF
studying disease which will never cease
to be M inestimable boon. 1t has shown
that the animal body is preyed upon by
u variety Of organisms, producing dis
eases whose cause would have never
been suspected without its aid The
knowledge thus gained has in several ill.,
stances led to the discovery of methods
OF rendering the attacks of the minute
parasites comparatively harmless, thus
conqut ring certain dreaded maladies.
Observations OF this kind are only Of very
recent date, but the progress made has
been very remarkable. All epidemic or
contagious diseases are now believed TO
be iue to microscopic organisms ia the
blood, and 1t appears quite probable that
