weeks before his assassination, walking on
the banks of the Potomac with a friend, and
conversing on those topics of personal
religion, concerning which noble natures
have an unconquerable reserve. he said that
he found the Lords Prayer and the simple
petition learned in infancy infinitely restful

but in their casual and frequent recall as be
went about the daily duties of life. Certain
texts of scripture had a very strong hold on his
memory and his heart. He heard. while in
Edinburgh some years ago, an eminent
Scotch preacher who prefaced his sermon
with reading the eighth chapter of the Epistle
to the Romans, which book had been the
subject of careful study with Garfield during
all his religious life. He was greatly i'm
pressed by the elocution of the preacher and
declared that it had impaired new and
deeper meaning to the majestic utterances of
Saint Paul. He referred often in after years
to that memorable service, and dwelt with
exaltation of feeling upon the radiant promise
and the assured hope with which the great
apostle of the Gentiles was persuaded that
neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor princi-
palities, nor powers, nor things present. nor
things to come, nor height, nor depth. nor
any other creature, shall be able to separate
us from the love of God. which is in Christ

Is THERE No LIMIT ?-This is the
question that involuntarily presented
itself to our nhnd in reference to the
unbOunded abuse of litiGants by the
lawyers in our courts, as We witness
ed several trials last week. 1t seems
80 inexplicable strange that gentlemen
Of high standing in the legal profession
in society and In the church, should
have such a wicked delight in simply
blackguarding-not each other very
much-but their victims who are SO
unfortunate as to get in between them.
Liar" :" ''Yillian," !" "cheat," "forger, -
''perjurer," fought to be 10 the peni-
tentiary," are some of the common
epithets and opinions which our chris
tian lawyers In Bellefonte so lavishly
apply to parties trying cases. II such
course, low and despicable as it is,
would have an affirmative effect on ju-
ries there would be some poor excuse
for INDUCING in it, but it has not. We
noticed that, in several marked cases,
the worst abused man came out Of the
trial first best.
But the practical question isis
there no limit beyond which even law
yers dare not go Is there no remedy
no law for lawyers Under any other
circumstances, at any other place than
in a Temple Of Justice, such low, vul
gar language would be indictable at
common law, would be grave slandel
defamation of character. But here, bott
judge and jury, as we'll as visitors and
spectators, sit and listen with stole in
difference the shameful TRADE, apparent
ly as necessary incidents even to every
ciUiJ suit; and very frequently all but
the poor, helpless suff 'rer who is forced
! to maintain an absolutely passive atti-
! tude, hugely enjoy the fun. Is thii
fair Is it right, equitable, or ever
| lnutul ? We think not. "Reform q

Gansport, Ind, that on Saturday night
tramp, named William Steele, called
at the residence OF Mrs. Buell., about
II miles from Logansport, and asked
her for supper. Finding that the

fed. Eeighbors OF Mrs. Buell. immedi-
ately pursued Steele and when they
caught him hanged him without delay.
They then piled brush about his body
and burned 1t beyond recognition. The
Sheriff took possession of the body

A Thrilling incident.

a thrilling Incident was witnessed in
Lewiston, Saturday. The painters who
are at work on st. J0seph's Church
have raised chain of ladders TO the top
of the spire. While the workmen were
at dinner some passers-by saw a man
climbing the ladders, now and then
waving his hat and uttering a strange
shout. It became evident that he was
intoxicated. The form was soon recog-
nized as that of drunken Lewiston rag
man. He seemed impelled By an insane
desire to reach the cross at the summit
of the steeple. He mounted ladder af-
ter ladder. A crowd gathered. At
times the climber wavered, and all who
saw him thought he would fall and be
dashed to pieces. He gained the cross,
put his hat on it and then began his de-
scent. Two men went up and helped
the fellow. But for this timely assist
ance he probably would have fallen.
The crowd watched with eager eyes an
til he reached the ground, pale and dis
ordered, and staggered off after one de-
lirious shout of exultation.-LeaCtst

The Story of a sprain.

The foot of danseuse is as impor-
tant to the lovers of the ballet as the
chest 81 of a tenor is to the lovers Of
music. The habitues of the opera have
now an all-absorbing topic for conversa-
ton in the foot of Mile. Mauri, which
that estimable ballerino sprained some
time ago. The treatment that she is
undergoing for this sprain deserves
ment on as. well as the history Of the
manner in which she came to adopt it.
An old habitue of the opera, who re-
WONDERED that similar accident once
happened to Fannie Elssier, cOmmuni-
Gated to Mile. Mauri the treatment that
had cured her predecessor. This treat-
ment was to 90 to the abattoir every
morning and insert the bare foot into
the warm entrails of a freshly killed
sheep or calf. Mile. Mauri, in despair
at the slowness of her recovery, de-
termined to try the efficacy of this
remedy. But Rosita Mauri if a grand
artist is also a woman, aud on the oc-
casion of her first visit to the
abattoir at La Vilette, when the
butcher appeared, armed with
his long knife and followed by
q young calf, bleating as though
conscious of the fate that was in store
for it, she shut her eyes and declared:
NO no. can never see such sight.
Let the poor animal live. l win not

OF the abatto.r explained to the tender
hearted dane euSe that the calf was not
going to die for her; it was going to die
to satisfy the hunger of the Parisians-
of some of the abOnnes of the Operi,
perhaps. Whether she used its body as
a remedy for her foot or not the fate of
the elf was sealed all the same. The
Superintendent, however, sent for an
other calf, whose execution took
place behind a curtain, through
which Mile. Mauri passed her foot to re-
ceive the treatment prescribed. Tag

AG4llant Deed.

Charles 7. Vansant, who was killed
on the Pennsylvania Railroad the other
evening, was the hero of one of the most
gallant episodes of the late war. He
bore the colors OF his regiment at Ball s
Bluf, and when, during a desperate
charge, his Colonel was shot, he bore
him from the field, and then returned,
amid hail of bullets. to rescue the 9 ag.
Five times was it captured by the Rebels,
and regained by Vansant in a hand-to-
hand struggle At last he broke away
with the flag and reached the river.
His enemies were at his very heels, but
he plunged into the water. dived to the
bottom, placed the flag there under q
stone, and then swan 20 the other shore
and escaped. Afterward he revisited
the spot, and succeeded in finding and
restoring to the regiment the flag he had
so desperately defended.
