Garfield's Arm Around Dorsey's
Neck.


FROM the Washington Iast.
A gentleman who has been in a position 10
become thoroughly acquainted with several of
the private transactions Of the last Admins
tration. mnhnrslened his mind Of one incident
last night He said ''ion know, Of course,
that ex Senator Dorsey was very active IN the
last Presidential campaign. You may also
have heard that he was credited with carrying
the state of Indiana. Well, Gen. Garfield and
Dorsey were always warm friends, and when
the first noise was made about indictments
Dorsey came TO Washington and went directly
10 the White House He wanted 20 know Just
what was going to be done-whether the
friends who helped to elect the Administration
were going to be prosecuted or letalone. Gen.
Garfield told his visitor to be easy in his mind,
TO go back to his ranch in New Mexico. be
patient, and no harm would come to him.
dorsey acted ON this advice, but after a
time there was so much newspaper talk about
the prosecutions and contemplated indict-
ments that he became scared, left his ranch
and came ON again to Washington. He went
10 the President and said: This thing is wor-
rying me terribly. My wife is suffering ago
MES. | want to know once for all what this
thing amounts to.
"The President got up, and, in his usual
demonstrative manner, placed his arm around
Dorsey and said: Now, old fellow, will
show you my friendship in this matter. You
go back to your rooms at the Riggs and wait
for friend of mine whom will send to you.
Dorsey went to his room Gen. Garfield then
sent for Mr.. MeYeagh, and asked to have all
the papers and memoranda of evidence against
Dorsey sent to him for his own inspection.
Mr. MeVeagh handed him the papers, as re-
quested, and an hour afterward one OF the
President private secretaries carried the doc
uments to D0rsey's room at the Riggs House
and allowed him to examine them thoroughly.
Dorsey made careful notes, and, knowing all
that the Government prosecution had against
him, has been thoroughly prepared for his
defence ever since.

A farmers Curious WuI--An old farm
er at Guelph, Canada, recently made curl
Gus will, which is substantially as fOllows:-
The son works the farm till his stepmother' S
death, at the end of which time he commences
paving instalments on 50, 600 to the rest of the
family at yearly rate of $50 year, and when
he gets it all paid off he viii get the farm in
his possession. 1t will be seen that after the
stepmother' death it viii be sixty years be-
fore the son gets the farm; and as the woman
is yet in the prime of life and healthy, it is
calculated that she may live another forty
years. The son is now thirty years of age,
and when he can claim the farm, by his reek-
oning he will be 100 years old.
