The Private koom ~ winch tho Hard Ex-
eeasavo Wosk - Ooao.
st. Louis Globe Democrat
President Arthur brought with him
from New York tho miniature portrait of
Mrs Arthur, set in . finely-wrought
bronze frame. This picture, standing on
a table in his bed room, constitutes the
household shrine, aud is lighted in
the evening hours by the shaded
light of an antique bronze lamp.
The private staircase from the first
floor leads to the presidents private re-
treat, and it is shut off from the rest Of
the corridor by a heavy portiere of raw
silk tapestry shot with gold and silver
thread. A portiere of Turkish cloth on
one side cOnceals the door of the
pink and blue P0mpadOur apartments
occupied by President Garfield, aud a
similar drapcry hangs at the en-
trance to President Arthur's pale
azure chamber. The arched window at
the end is filed with blooming plants the
floor is covered with part of the rich
Turkey carpet sent some years ago as a
present to this. government from the sui
tan, the prevailing tint of which is a soft,
rich orange, and the furniture is covered
with dark, gray-green plush. A writing
desk at one side of this sitting room has
its racks filed with dainty, cream.tinted
note paper, and the centre table is strewn
with the latest books and magazines.
Several copies of the North American Re.
uiew occupy q conspicuous place, and a
rich Venetian lamp, with tiuted, tulip
shaped globe of opal glass, stands on this
table.
Big Shaker rocking chairs, fans and the
daily papers of Washington and New York
offer comfort and company for the idle
summer hours, and through the curtained
doorways there comes the steady south
wind. Bierstadt's fine pictures are hung
on the walls of the informal apartment,
the largest, which represents dark and
gloomy mountain side canon of the
Rocky mountains, occupying the wall
just above tho stairway. On ono side of it
hangs similar canvas, showing the great
Fan geyser of the Yellowstone park in
iull play, and On the other sido view of
the Yellowstone fall, with tho amber
water pouring straight over the precipice
and dashing down the canon tow ard
one. On the opposite wall is the some
what celebrated painting Of a Winter
Morning Scene in the Yosemite" the
giant rocks and valley walls powdered
with soft lines of snow, and the t, ees bent
and whitencd with the accumulated fakes.
The fifth picture shows a calm, green
borderei lake, with lOno fisherman
floating over it in a boat, aud dropping
his line meditatively into the waters. All
of them are worthy efforts of the great
artists brush, and on hot day the gaze
rests enviously on the cool waters and
the snOwbanks Of the Western wonder
lands.

worth.

The Athens (Aia.) Courier of. the
18th inst, has column in mourning
and filled with words Of respect in re.
gard to Prof. S. NJ. Ainsworth, who
committed suicide in that town lately.
The Courier says:
Immediately after his breakfast, on
Monday last, Prof. S. NJ. Ainsworth,
who had been in bad health for several
weeks, and had suffered severely with
torpid liver and similar physical disor
ders for some days previous, retired to Il
closet on his premises, where, on being
searched for, after an unusual absence
he was found in sitting posture, dead
with his head fallen forward on his
chest, and his clothes all bloody. AS
sistance was summoned, and, at first, il
was supposed that he had died of hem
morrhage of the lungs; but on rcmov.
ing his clothing it was discovered that
he had stabbed himself, there being one
cut in his linen shirt, two cuts in his
under shirt, and four punctured wounds
in his left breast. His pockct-knife,
closed and bloody, was found at his
feet. The verdict of the coroner's jury,
which held an inquest Monday morning
at the residence, AYERS:
He came to his death by wounds in
Aicted with medium sized pocket
knife, about the region of the heart,
said wounds being inflicted by his own
hands, while in state of Temporary alb.
erration of the mind, caused by previous
sickness, having been unwell for some
days."
The Courier says the whole commu.

loss of such an. upright, generous and
valuable citizen, and tells us that he
was native of New York, Master Of
Arts of Madison University. "Ht
