WASHINGTON, July 7th.-Senator Stan
ford received to-day from San Francisco,
to be delivered to the President, an invita-
ton from the Grand Army of the Republic
of California to attend the national en-
campment. The invitation is no doubt
the most elaborate and beautiful device of
that nature ever seen in this country. The
message is engraved upon plate of solid
gold, decorated with Grand Army badge
and other patriotic emblems. 1t is
superbly wrought, and embedded in a
handsome satin-lined case. Senator Stan
ford will present it to the President to-
morrow. He has invited the entire Cali
fornia Congressional delegation to accom-
for that purpose.
Attorney General Garland.
WASHINGTON, July 7th.-Rumors of At
torney- General Garlands intended resigna-
ton were on every lip today. Nothing
definite can be ascertained regarding Gar
lands intentions, and it is as yet wholly a
matter of conjecture. He called on the
President this morning, and this fact,
coupled with the recent talk on the subject,
led many persons to jump at the conclusion
that he had formally rendered his resigna-
ton.

Struck by Lightning-A Remarkable
Case.
EEADvILLE (Col.), July 7th.-George S.
Edwards, who was struck by lightning
while crossing Iron Hill on the 4th inst, is
slowly recovering. His case is most re-
markable one, and is attracting consider
able attention from scientific men. Ed
wards, after the flash, lay unconscious for
fifteen minutes before receiving assistance.
The lightning struck him on the left
cheek, knocking Out a number of his
teeth. 1t then passed diagonally across his
breast to the right side, thence to his feet,
coming out of the right boot, having passed
entirely through the foot, leaving a hole
very similar to one made by bullet. His
clothing was torn into fragments, particles
being found 4 distance of 200 feet from
| the spot. and one of his boots,
both of which were torn into shreds, was
! found sixty feet away. Immediately under
where he was standing the ground was
torn up for considerable distance. It's
course along the body is shown by black
ened streak, one and half inches wide,
the worst effect being an injury to the
lungs, the immediate result being severe
hemorrhage, by which a quart of blood
was lost In addition to these injuries, the
surface of the body is almost COM
pletely covered with blisters, the result of
severe burns. This is the first authentic
record of a person being injured by a stroke
of lightning at an altitude of over 10,500
feet, and where persons were affected inter
nally as Mr.. Edwards was and not in
stantly killed,

Speed of the Yacht Atlantic.
New YORK, July 7th.-The sloop At
lantic had her first trial in a stiff breeze
yesterday afternoon. In company with the
schooner Grayling she left Bay Ridge
shortly after 8 o'clock and beat down the
Narrows, the wind being about south. In
the lower bay there was cracking breeze,
and the sloop walked away from the
Crawling in magnificent style. The condi-
tions were very favorable to the Grayling,
as, despite the strong breeze. there was no
sea. She sailed very fast, but when the
Atlantic was off Upper Island she was more
than mile ahead. Captain Joe Ellsworth
thinks the Atlantic will prove a different
boat when her alterations are completed.
Since her mast has been moved forward
she has gone much faster. Eastern papers
say the people of Bar Harbsr propose to
raise a purse sufficiently large to attract
big sloops to that resort, and that race
will probably occur in September begin
ming in the latter part of August, when the
races of the Puritan, Priscilla Atlantic and
Mayfower will take place. TO see which
will race the Galatea for the American cup.
