A,GooD STORY.
An Anecdote illustrating the Courage of
the Late President Garfield.

An Anecdote Illustrating the Courage OF
the Late President Garfield.
A retired army officer of high rank
told me new story about Garfeld's
canal days. The subject which brought
out the story was the question as to
whether President Garfield possessed
much moral courage. The officer said:
Whether James A. Garfield had moral
courage in high degree or not I do
not know. l am sure he possessed
remarkable amount ofphysical courage,
and heard of an instunce of this while
he was yet in Congress. 1t was on the
Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago
road. was coming from Chicago to
Washington. AS we neared Fort Wayne
a gentleman came into the sleeper, and,
asking my permission, sat down beside
me. In the course of conversation he
informed me that he was division
superintendent of the line, and upon
learning that I was going to Washing
ton he asked: 'And how is Jimmy Gar
field getting along down thereP' told
himI was acquainted with Representa-
tive Garfield, and he then went on to say
that he had been the Captain of canal
boat in connection with which Garfield
as boy was driver. He said that Garfield
was very brave at that time-that he
would fight any fellow that dared knock
a chip off his shoulder. One Saturday
night, said he, when we tied the boat
up to stop for Sunday, Jimmy came to
me and asked if he might not leave the
boat until starting time the next day, as
he wanted to go to a little town about
twelve miles off. I gave him permis-
sion and away he went. The next day
shortly after noon he came back with
pair ofthe blackesteyes have ever seen
on boy or man. / asked him what was
tho matter, and he told me there was a
boy in the village where he had been
who boasted to friend of his some
months previous that he could whip
Jim Garfield out of his boots, and that
he had decided that as soon as he got the
chance to go to the town he would give
him the opportunity of doing so. He
had walked all that twelve miles and
back again merely to fight the boy, and
l think he whipped him. After I re-
turned to Washington [ told Garfield
this story. He laughed, but would not
affirm that it was true nor deny it,

LAST Monday Professor Scott, of
Princeton college, started for the far west
at the head of a scientific expedition, the
main object of which is to make geo
logical survey of the Uintah mountains,
in Western Utah and Wyoming, and also
to collect fossils for the college museum
A good part of the time will be occupied
with the work on the north base of the
mountains. About the 1st of August the
party will cross the mountains to the
White River Ute reservation, a district
which is as yet comparatively unexplored.
Many localities of great natural interest,
such as the flaming gorge of the Green
river, will be visited. It is expected that
the expedition will be rich in important
scientific results.

The doctors disagree on the oleomar-

that imitation butter, made from animal

unfit for human food and sweet scented

the reverse is the case. For instance,

Public School Library.

The board of trustees has present
ed 10 the Audubon public schools
Appleton's Encyclopedia, as nu-
cleus of a library for the gratuitous
use OF the school children. Already
a good many have signiiied their
willingness TO contribute books for
for this very worthy and commenda-
bic purpose. Such a library could
he gathered without expense, and
would be just rs serviceable and
perhaps as valuable as one purchased
at large expense from the manufac.
turer or dealer. But in making SC.
lections for this purpose the greatest
care should be exercised to present
books of the highest character, of
known and appreciated value.
Works of pernicious or even doubt
full nature should be carefully exclud.
ed. Historic narrative is perhaps of
all the most profitable reading, and
would receive the readiest perusal
by the school children, for while it
is instructive it interests and enter
tains as well. To cultivate a taste
for and habit of systematic reading
forms u very important and valuable
part of education, and upon the ma
ture OF books or magazines perused
depends partially the moulding of
the character of the reader, and this
is especially true in the case of child
ren of a school age. We think,
with those who have the matter in
charge, that large and withal val
liable library can he made on this
plan. There is scarcely library,
however small, in the town that
does not contain book or books
which are rich in trcasurcrs of
knowledge, but have fallen into
disusc. Such as these could be con-
tributcd without much loss to the
donors, and would be very useful to
the school and highly appreciated
by the scholars and teachers. Those
OF our citizens who are willing to
contribute in the manner noted, to
this worthy cause should notify the
principal or any OF the the teachers
or members OF the board, who will
see to it that the books are collected.

anything to do with it could only be
attested by the testimony of Ellis

The Bell Telephones vile Slander.
Nashville UniOn,1

lNasnVlHe Onl0n.
Will some one of the Bell telephone
newspapers tell us what the charge is
against Garland? There has been a
vast amount ofinterested and studied
malignity, accusing him of something
for which he ought to 60 out of the
cabinet. What is the specific charge? ?
He was in the senate and while in the
senate gave written opinion that
the Pan Electric patent was not an
Infringement ON the Bell patent.
Thereupon he and others formed a
company with view of giving the
public competing telephone. Did
he know or believe he was going in
to the cabinet? Was he put into the
cabinet with any reference TO this lit
igation? When the company was
formed was there any prospect of the
question coming before the senate?
The answer to all these questions is,
No. But that is not the point. The
point is that no one of the Bell tele-
phone newspapers pretends for mo-
ment that either of these questions
could be answered in the affirmative.
Did he do anything as attorney gen.
eral about having the suit brought? +?
Not thing. Did he give any opin-
ion? Nobody pretends that he OPEN
ed his mouth, that he gave hint, or
said word. The whole question is,
that he is interested, and has been for
years, in telephone which may be a
competing one, and may incidentally
get the right to give the people an
other or competing telephone by de-
cision of court.
Has he anything 10 do with the
court? Not thing? Nobody pre-
tends he has. Did he appoint, name
or suggest the court2 Nobody pre-
tends he did.
Will the newspapers fighting for
the Bell telephones patent tell us
what the specific charge isg We
would like to know.
The Infamous assault upon an up-
right public man is going to have its
effect on corporations. Nobody with
a aparticle of capacity for weighing
evidence doubts for one moment but
that this vile slander comes from the
Bell telephone, behind the curtain.
