lwashington Letter.


DIR. Susan Edson, who attended Gen Gar
field all through his last illness and who had
been for years an attendant upon the family,
was i'm tho White House for several weeks be-
fore the atsasination. She was there for the
purpose of looking after Mrs Garfield,
who was very ill at that time Gen. Gar
fields mother was summoned during this iii.
ness OF Mrs. Garfield, When the latter be.
gan to grow batter aGrandma Garfeidn
made ready to 60 home. When the time
came for her TO go she seemed oppressed with
a great melancholy. She was 50 unusually
sad at the prospect of parting with her son
that be put his arm around her and in his
most cheerful way tried to comfort her.
While he WAS engaged in comforting her
his wife began TO urge him to accept an in
vitation he had to 60 down the river for o
short trip. His wife insisted that he needed
the rest and y as she was out of all danger,
she would be letter pleased to have him 20
than not Grandma Garfield here spoke up
and said: @Oh, James, don't gol I'm 50
afraid you win be shot il you go away from
here now Ii was this fear that has made
her so sad at the parting with her son, as IL
aftsrwari appaared for the last tine The
last thing she said to her son before
going away was to urge upon him the neces-
sity OF using great precautions against the
danger OF being shot by some secret enemy.
Her fears, however. made no impression on
Gen. Gariield's mind.
Grandma Garfield, since her sons death
has gives. herse!s up 60 brooc...ag over bis

idiot Sage immugines II is news to inform
the people that Raymond did the job"
One would suppose from perusal Of
this alleged newspaper that the "Miller
postoffice" was of paramount interest to
all Of Hand county. But his object.
though very natural one from his stand
point, and too deep to have originated IN
his fighty brain, is also very palpable. He
or Baldwin concludes that the Press as
well az the entire town would be. weaken
ed, TO the advantage Of st. Lawrence. il
he can succeed in establishing factional
fght between the citizens of Miller.
During the Journals brief life here 1t
was continually Grivilg to cause dissen-
tion, and the citizens will readily admit it
was partislly successful, to the detriment
of our town. At that time there was no
apparent object except because the PRESS
was on top, and it was natural for Sage to
pour out his bile on a patient public. But
now, he has the same objectr and reasons
to keep Miller citizens dissatisfied and
divided. coupled with much weightier
reason. He is now in st. Lawrence,
working for that town, and every move
made by that town and for its own inter-
est, must be antagonistic to Miller and
Miller interests, because of the rivalry
now existing and which always will ex-
ist between the two towns. Consequently
Sage and his advisers think this postofIice
matter presents a ionged for opportunity
OF dipping his nose into Mii.er's busi-
ness in the hope OF causing or fomcnting
a fight between Miller citizens, and thus
render impossible any united action for
the advancement OF st. Lnwrence's rival
The scheme is very coed one even from
Baldwin, but we are compelled to dislodge
a little of the eonceit displayed in suppos-
ing the mutterings of that crank have any
influence in shaping the destinies OF
Miller or her citizens. Baldwin's greatest
mistake Was in not continuing the Journal
in Miller, fighting Miller interests. as he
evidently owned the concern sometime
before it was removed. But John did not
care to whack up the balance reqaired
each month above its receipts to keep the
thing going.

sentences at a friend in this high key and
then without waiting or listening to anyone
Else no moves to address someone else. He

young man. He darts in and out of the
leading houses Of the town with light skip
