GUITEAU TIE CONDEMNED.
Mrs. Garfield has not Inservened
70 Save Gultenu.

A special despatch from Clev Gland,
Ohio, says Prompted by rumors cur.
rent in Washington to-day to the effect
that Mrs. Garfield had written letter
TO President Arthur asking him to
reprieve Guireau, the Representative We
of the Herald visited the residence OF
the lady, on Euclid avenue, to ascer.
tain what foundation, If any, there
was for tbs report. Reaching her
quiet home about seven o'clock, | was
admitted into the hall from which
through an opened door, discovered
the wife of the marryred President sur
rounded by the younger mem bers of
her family, She was reading aloud
to them, and the half mournfu cadence
OF her voice fell pleasantly upon the
ear. Sending in card, | was ushered
into the reception room, where Mrs.
Garfield soon appeared. She was
attired in deep mourning. Her face
though bright and cheering, bore
furrowed traces of the terrible aitiictiou
through which she has passed. AL
vanciHg she extended her hand with
cordial greeting. An inquiry after her
health elicted the resppns, tnat she
was feeling very well aud that all the
members OF her family including Garnd-
mother Garfield, were at pre,,n, IN
excellent physical health.
"a ruuur comrS from Washington,
madam that you have written letter
to President Arthur asking him to re-
prieve GuiLeau. Is it true" the lady
was asked.
Her face flushed with mingled ex.
preston OF surprise Rod Indignation
and she replied promptly ana with
emphasis.
"ADsud There is not word of
truth III il. have not written to the
PIesilent at all upoa the subject
How do you supp jse the rumor origi-
nated?"
81 canno' say. There is no founda-
ton wha ever Ter IL, 81 far as am con-
cerned. have expressed No wish or
opinion in the matter and shall not. "
With this the recollection OF her
great sorrow seemed TO take possession
Of her heart and mind, and she AROSE.
and walked to the Jnantel AS if gazing
intent.y upon some obj"ct there bur
evidently Tor the purpose OF hiding
the emotions that were plainly visible
upon her face. Not Wishing to pursue
asubjecI evidently so painful TO the
lady any further, the reporter after a
moments pause, apologlzed for his
intrusion aud withdrew. Mrs. Gar
field had meanwhile regained that
selt-possession which SO marked her |
during the fearful ordeal OF few
ago. There was no expression |
If hate or bitterness in her looks or
words, but it was evident from her |
manner that she will not attempt to
lnttrtere IN any way either to save the
neck or Drecipitate the execution OF the
assassin Of her husband

plicant's family so as to provide the
proper pass for him. He tried to
speak some Swedish, but the fact is
that Mills has been in this country so
long that he has almost forgotten the
language.
He motioned to the applicant to 60
and get an interpreter, or words to
that effect, and at last made him un-
derstand. The man went out and re-
turned with an Irishman.
''Yes, sor, l talk anything ye lolKe'
l spake nine different languages and
chaw tubacky in my own native dla-
lict. What did We wish to AK him"
"Why, ask him how many children
he has,"
The Irishman turned around to the
mau, took full breath, looked up at
the ceiling. and said:
1.-The gintleman desoires me fur to
ak yer how many kids ye have, and
don't be all day about it aither."
The man followed this remark close
ly all the way through, and then in the
purest Wyoming said that he had two.
Mr.. Mills was glad, then, that he
had sent out for an interpreter who
was familiar with nine different lam
guages, because it seemed to facilitate
business and place all the parties on
equal footing.-[Nye's Boomerang.

The Troy Press tells of a farmer
who successfully tried remedy for po-
tato bugs as follows: He procured II
number of boards and placed them here
and there among his potatoes, and on
these boards were placed raw potatoes
sliced. At noon the first day of the
experiment he and his hired men found
every piece ofpotato covered with bugs,
The men killed this crop, and at night
another crop was killed, though not so
large, and in week not bug could be
seen, and his trouble with bugs after
this was comparatively small. lie
thinks it would be good plan to dip
the pieces of potato in paris grsen, as
it would save the work of killing the
bugs.
