BLAINE's euIogy of Garfield en-
braced other people than the deceased
President. The people that bad assem-
bIed to hear the eulogy delivered, had
hardly got away from the capitol build
ing till dispatch was clicking over the
wives of the country from General
Rcsecrsns, stating that Blaine's glori6-
cation of Garfield as military man
should not be made at his expense. Gar
field had been chief Of staff for Rose
Grams, and Blaine so shaped bis eulogy
as 70 have it to appear as IT Garfield
was indeed the very inspiration Of the
Rosecrsns army. Since Rosecrans has
stepped forward to correct the mistake
of the eulogy, other men have come
forward, and try to have it appear that
Garfield, while be Was chief of-stsf to
RosecraDs, was not true to bis General.
They ailege that Garfield was a back
bitter Of Roseersns, and in support of
that position letter that il is said Gar
field wrote to Chief Justice Chase has
been published. Rosecrans bad no
knoulrdge that such a letter had been
written, and as yet is in doubt as TO its
genuineness. The General is full Of
hope that the letter may not prove to be
a genuine letter; be is full of hope
that the letter may be proven to have
been . forgery.

THERE is great deal of sentiment
wasted on the Chinese question Men
declare that this is the "land of the
free, and the home of the brave, and
an asylum for the oppressed of all
lands" and that it is not constitu-
tional to exclude any foreigners. The
talk about bravery and freedom is
one thing, and to talk about the con-
stitution is another thing. The peo-
pie make the constitution and the
laws, and if they prefer to make
them to keep out the Chinese, there
is nothing to prevent them from do
ing so; but then if Americans will
not receive Chinaman, Americans
should not want to go to China 1t
is the commercial interests, and mis-
sion interests that are seeking ad-
mission to China, and, as q natural
result of that seeking, bring about
treaties between the two countries.
Last Thursday the United States Sen
ate passed the anti Chinese bill. The
bill provides that from and after the
expiration of 80. days after the pas
sage of the act, and for 20 years
after its passage Chinese laborers
shall be prevented from coming to
this country. The penalties pre-
scribed for the violation of the law
are: penalty of Imprisonment not
exceeding one year and fine of not
more than $500 against the master of
any vessel who brings any Chinese
laborer to this country during that
period 1t further provides that the
classes of Chinese excepted by the
treaty from such prohibition, are such
as merchants, teachers, students. trav-
elers, diplomatic agents, and Chinese
laborers who were in the United
States on the 18th of November,
1850.

A DowN-EAsT exchange says: The
following anecdote is related of the
late Judge Kent, of Maine: A man
was indicted on a charge of having
burglariously entered a lumberman S
camp and stolen clothing and money.
The witness for the government tes-
titled that he saw the prisoner head,
right arm and shoulder thrust through
an opening he had made in the cabin,
and that the stolen articles disap-
peared with them. With this the
prosecution rested. The prisoner S
counsel went to the jury gravely pro
testing that there was no case; that
to make out case of burglary the
prosecution must show an entrance
of the whole man-at least the larger
part of him; the feet as well as the
head must have been within the cabin.
Judge Kent instructed the jury to
return a verdict of guilty to the ex-
tent which the evidence should war
rant. After brief absence the jury
returned verdict of guilty against
the prisoner as to his right arm, right
shoulder and head, and the Judge
sentenced the arm, shoulder, and
head to the State prison for two
years, remarking that the prisoner
might do with the remainder of his
body as he pleased.

DR JosEpH PAscoisr. a distinguish.

Dr. JOSEPH PAScoAsr, a distinguish
ed Philadelphia surgeon, died on the
morning of the 7th inst. He was
n years of age. The Philadelphia
Times, in speaking of his skill as a
surgeon, said, The great point in his
career was his skill as an operator.
He was ambidexter and could per
form operations of the most delicate
intricacy with his left hand which
were beyond the skill of others using
the right hand only. 1t was, in part,
the extraordinary facility with which
he could employ both hands at one
time which made him SO successful
in the department of plastic surgery,
By the removal of strips OF flesh
from the forehead and elsewhere he
has formed no less than a dosen
noses for persons who, either through
accident r"disease, were without
them. There is a woman standing
in the Callowhill Street Market for
whom he made nose twenty-five
years ago and no one can detect it
now from natures own best handi-
work. He was the first to show that
after the eye brow has been destroyed
a goodlooking substitute can be
made by raising flap of the scalp
with the soft, dropping hairs of the
temple and giving it what is termed
a 'long pedicle" to run into bed cut
for it in the brow. He also furnish
ed manned humanity with eye-lids
and ears. So far did his fame as an
operator extend that one Of the things
which visiting foreigners marked
down as of the greatest interest In
Philadelphia was "to see DR.. Pan
coast operate" His hands looked
clumsy, but he could take up a large
knife, as on the occasion of the visit
of the Japanese party some years ago
to see him perform amputation at the
hip-joint and the next moment he
could take the finest needle and oper-
ate upon an eye. He was among the
first to resort to the section of the
facial nerve for the relief of neuralgia
He was remarkably successful in OPP
erations for cataract and early i'm
proved upon the operation of couch
ing" by complete extraction. In the
treatment of strabismus, or squint,
he was in his day unrivaled.

TIE following from city exchange
is of general interest: The following
changes have been made in the regu-
lations governing the issue and re-
demption of the currency and coins
of the United States and of national
bank notes. United States notes,
silver certificates and fractional notes
equalirg or exceeding three-ffths of
their original proportions, are re-
deemable at their full face value.
Fragments of United States notes,
silver certificates and fractional notes,
each constituting clearly one-half,
but less than three ffths, are redeem
able at one-half the full face value of
whole notes or certificates. Frag-
ments of less than half are redeem
able only when accompanied by an
affidavit stating that the missing pOr-
ton has been totally destroyed.

A peculiar story comes to US of a
family who have resided in Jennings
county, Indiana, for many years, and
during all this time have eaten their
meals in an open porch facing the

porch to take their meals. A gentle
man says he dined with the family

The management of the Carlisle
Indian School took a number of their
scholars to Philadelphia and gave
an entertainments entertainment
such as are commonly given by
schools. A young Arrapahoe Indian
made the following speech:
"Study is very good, but there is
nothing SO good for the health as
work. God knew what was good for
men when he told us to work with
our hands. The devil tempts every
body, but the idle, lazy man who will
not work tempts the devil. He gives
plenty of work to all who do not find
it themselves. We are told that
there are but three ways of living
by working, by begging, and by steal
ing. Those who do not work do one
of the other two. We, at Carlisle
school, do not propose either to steal
or to beg for living. When we go
back to our homes we intend to go
hack with good trades, strong arms
anj wiling hearts. We will go back
to Law the foundations of a new life
for our people. We work with good
courage now, because we are prepar-
ing to do a great good work then.

BARNES PoPULAE History OF THE UNITED
STATES was undertaken at the close of the
| first hundred years of American Indepen-
dence. The author proposed to give to the
whole people of the United States ana the
world thoroughly impartial history Of
America, from the mound builders to the
present time. As such it was necessary to
steer free from whatever in recent history
would arouse sectional aDimoslty or party
bitterness. He determined to meet all
questions OF burning moment in the Judi
ciai rather than controversial spirit, and
while giving to every event its due impor-
tance, he would seek to avoid controversy
by the gentle word that turneth away
wrath" The work is now finished down to
President Arihur's administration. In it
the truth Of American history is impartially
given in true historic form, without passion
and without fear or favor. 1t is a work
that all sections Of the country can read
and enjoy. Although the author is N orth-
ern man and soldier, his work is popular
and widely used as a Textbook East, West,
North and Soath. An Alabama teacher
lately wrote as follows, to the Publishers
"We are using your history and like it,
though il doesn't faror pe rebels. And so
it is liked throughout the country, because
it doesn't favor any side at the expense of
truth and justice. Instead of being spread
