New Milford, Conn. Independent.
Dispossessmg A Widow.
“I have a mint? to put up a job on your
client, Treusdell,” said Charlie Monier to his
law partner, Sam Norton.
“I have observed that you were becoming
demoralized lately, but did not'suppose you
would be ready to sell out a client,” replied
Norton. “Let us know, however, what the
job is, and if it has an innocent look per-
haps I will go in for chances and shares.”
Allen Truesdell, against whom this plot
was forming, had been in the hands- of those
lawyers only a few Weeks. He had lately-
come fromanother part of the State, and had
been buying, through them,a valuable paper-
mill property, located on the river a few
miles below the city. Monier 65 Norton had
been his attorneys in the transaction, and had
realized a handsome professional fee. In
connection with that business there had also
been some collateral transactions through
which an overdue mortgage for eleven thou-
sand dollars had come into the hands of their
client. The property held by the mortgage
was a handsome homestead belonging to a
widow lady, Mrs. Trowbridge, young—or at
least not very old—not more than thirty-two
—and a very beautiful woman.
Mr. Truesdell had not yet seen the property
or its owner. The mortgage had been taken
on the assurance of his attorneys that the se-
curity was ample.
The lady's deceased husband, Charles
Trowbridge, had died suddenly three years
before, and left considerable real estate in a
badly entangled condition. He had been a
bold, ambitious operator, and not very pru-
dent; made new purchases continually with
money raised by mortgagiug anything on
which a mortgage could be placed, until even
his family residence,the property of his wife,
had, by her consent, reluctantly obtained, be-
come involved to the extent of more than
half its real value.
Mrs. Trowbridge had one child living, her
little boy, Ruby, now six years old, and,for
his sake she had been doing her utmost to
save what she could of the property her: hus-
band had left, and she had managed so suc-
ccssfully thus far that when asalc was inevi-
table she liad been able to effect it herself,
and not leave that ceremony to be performed
by the sheriff. \
The reader has probably suspected by this
time that the job those lawyers .were prepar-
ing to put on their client was not likely to be
very serious or damaging. They had learned
from incidental remarks of his, that he had
been a widower for several years, and had a
small family consisting of two little daughters
and his youngest sister, also a maiden aunt of
his deceased wife, who was managing his
family affairs. but not in a very satisfactory
way.
”The Trowbridge property," said Mr. Mon-
ier to his partner, “will just suit our-client
for a residence, and the right and easy way
for him to get it will be for him to hid it in
under a foreclosure sale, and then dispossess
the widow.”
“A charming idea,” said Norton, “but of
course he must see the property in the first
place, and determine now much he will be
willing to give for it.”
“Mrs. Trowbridge, I believe?”
A graceful how was the lady’s answer, and
the visitor added: “Mr. Truesdell.”
“I am pleased to see you, Mr. Truesdell,”
said the widow, as with a motion of the hand,
she invited him to resume the seat from which
he had risen on her entering.
"I have called, madam, to look at this
property, which I understand is for sale,”
said the gentleman.
“Yes sir; I will show you the property
with, much pleasure. But I must ask you
to excuse me for a few moments. My little
boy willentertain you until I return,” and
Ruby came forward with ready confidence,
and signified his willingness to make himself
agreeable.
“I hope you will buy our place, sir,” he
said, as they were alone. “If my dear papa
had lived we would have kept it, but now
mamma says we cannot.”
“How long has your papa been dead ?"
asked Mr. Truesdell.
“Three years, sir.
father ?”
“No, dear child. I have been living more
than a hundred miles from here and have
made no acquaintances in this vicinity until
lately,” the visitor answered, smiling.
“Mamma has told me of some cousins of
papa’s that I have never seen, and when I
first looked at you I thought you might be
one of them, because it seems to me you look
like my papa. He had side whiskers, just
like you have, and his hair was the same
color, and he was about as large as you.
Here is his picture,” and he pointed to a very
fine oil painting on the opposite wall.
Mr. Truesdell was standing before the 'pic-
ture, studying it with much interest, when
Mrs. Trowbridge returned and announced
that he might now see the house and grounds.
An hour or more was spent in this way, ah
fording an opportunity for such casual and
incidental remarks as the occasion called for.
Ruby was one of the party, of course.
“Is this little boy your only child,madam?"
asked Mr. Truesdell.
“The only one living; I have lost two dear
little girls, one younger than Ruby and the
other two years older."
“I have two little girls,’ said Mr. Trues-
dell, “and had one boy, who if living, would
be about the age of yours. IIc (lied three
years ago, soon after the death of his moth-
er.”
“Don‘t you think, momma, this gentleman
looks like papa ?” interpoesed Ruby.
“Well, yeS. a little, perhaps,” anSWered
the mother, smiling.
“I am much pleased with the general ap-
pearance of the property,madam," Mr. Truss.
dell remarked, “and may see you again in
regard to it.”
“You probably know,sir.” said Mrs. Trow-
bridge, “that my interest is less than half the
real value. A mortgage, now overdue, holds
the larger share."
Mr. Truesdell did not intimate that he had
lately become the owner of the mortgage,
but simply remarked that if he concluded to
buy the property the mortgages wouldgive
her no further trouble.
“I wish you would buy this house, and
come here to live, and let mamma and me
Did you ever see my
live here, too” exclaimed Ruby, looking up
wistfully into the face of Mr. Truesdell and
at the same time grasping his hand.
If the mother could have got had of the
boy at that ‘nomcnt she would have given
him an impressive shake, but he was on the
other side of Mr. Truesdell, and any attempt
to stop him with words might lead to some-
thing worse, soshe simply remarked :
“I haqe several other pieces of property,
some of which I have been trying to dispose
of. with toe hope of saving this, but the best
bids, thus far,.have been very low.”
“Are these pieces of property also encum—
bered f"
“ch,-sir ; every one, more or less. The
property that my husband held was rising in
nominal value when those mortgages were
put on, and he thought he could carry them
safely,but a reaction came, and now my in—
terest in property on which he placed a high
value amounts to but little.”
“Your experience, madam, has been like
that of many thousands,” said Mr. Truesdell.
“But you are fortunate in having even a lit—
tle left. I will have some conversation with
my attorneys, Monicr d7 Norton, in regard to
this property, and will probably call again
within a day or two. Good day, madam;
good bye, Ruby.” ’
“Good-bye !” rssponded the litfle fellow.
“Do come and see mamma and me again. I
want to you,you look so much like my
papa. D you want to see Mr. Truesdell
again mamma l’"
“Certainly, my dear, said his mother. "I
shall be much pleased to have the gentleman
call.”
The lady and gentleman thus casually
meeting had incidentally and almost una—
voidably learned certain leading facts in re—
gard to each other. , Of course no remark de-
signed to be in the least degree suggestive of
any special or personal interest had been
made by either, and yet the circumstances
themselves were suggestive.
“Well, how did you like the Trowbridge
property, Mr. Truesdell ?” asked Mr. Monier
as his client returned.
“A very handsome place,” was the gentle-
man’s answer.
“And we shall commence foreclosure pro-
ceedings immediately I” asked Mr. Monier,
with a sly side wink at his partner, which
was noticed by Mr. Truesdell. “The dispos-
session of the present occupant will be sim—
ple and easy, and that part of the business
we will turn over to you.”
“It is not worth while to make any cost in
that direction just now," was the quiet, but
significant answer.

“I am so glad that you have come again i”
exclaimed Ruby, bounding into the parlor.
“I told mamma I knew you would come.”
“Yes, my boy, I have come to look at your
mamma’s house once more ;” but he did not
tell master Ruby that this was not his
second, nor even his third call, and that the
mother had probably not thought it neces-
sary to invite him to be present on every
occasion. - ‘
“Don’t you want to see mamma, too?
She will be here in a minute. She is fixing
herself up a little more before she comes
in.” . '
Unfortunately for Ruby the last remark
was’heard by his mother, who was entering
the parlor at that moment.
That boy was soon on his way out led by
a servant, but the _outrage was duly resent -
ed.
“My mamma shan’t treat me this way after
you come here to live, shall she, Mr. Trues—
dell ?" was his parting shot.
.“1 wouldiust like t9 kser..nsmns.’.;said
Ruby one day, about six days after this in~
cident, “why I can’t stay in the parlor when
Mr. Truesdell comes to talk to you about
buying our house ?"
“Never mind,- my dear," said his mother,
“perhaps Mr. Treusdeil will not buy the
house after all."
“Will he come to live here, mamma, and
let us live here too ? and be my papa, and—
and—you be his wife ?" '
“Yes, my dear, darling boy,” exclaimed
the fond mother, clasping her child To her
heart. Two hours only had passed since that
engagement had been sealed with a ring in
which a glowing ruby had been set. Ina
rapture of joy Mrs. Trowbridge explained to
her child as well as she could, the meaning
of the ring and of the precious stone he saw
there.

-“Mr. Monier would like to speak with Mrs.
Trowbridge a moment,” was penciled on a
card that was handed to the widow.
“Nothing wrong, I hope,” was the thought
that startled the lady for an instant. The
marriage ceremony was to take place next
morning, and it was now half—past eight in
the evening. Her prospective husband had
left her half an hour before, and she was
puzzled to conjecture what reason his lawyer
could have for calling just then.
“I have called, madam,” said Mr. Monier,
“to hand you this document, which is,as you
see, a release of the mortgage on your prop—
crty."
“Why, how is this ?” said the lady in sur-
prise. “lIas Mr. Truesdell paid off this
mortgage ?” '
“Mr. Truesdell has been owner of the
mortgage, madam, for several months, hav—
ing purchased it, through us, before he be—
came acquainted with you. In order to re-
store to you the full and absolute ownership
of the property in the easiest and most di—
rect way, he has, by our advice, executed
this release while you are still Mrs. Trow—
bridge.”
“A name, sir, that I always thought it an
honor to bear, but now other emotions fill
my heart. If you report to Mr. Tuesdell
that. you have left me in tears, please tell him
they were tears, not of sorrow, but of the
deepest gratitude. Good night.”
Mrs. Trowbridge became Mrs. Truesdell
at 10 a. m. the next day.
"And so this is the way you disposcss the
widow,” said Mr. Monier, as soon as he could
get near enough to his client, after the cere—
mony, to whisper a word in his car.
“I thought I would rather possess her,”
was the reply.”
Garfield, the Trained Statesman.
A President, as the Democrats themselves
have contended ever since General Grant
changed his politics, should be above all
things else a statesman. A knowledge of
other than purely civic affairs is not, of
course, a disqualification, but neither is it a
requisite. The officer who holds the scales
between Congress and the peoplenvhose veto
or approval of a measure is equal to a couple
of hundred legislative votes, who is beset
with appeals for or against causes the inward
character of which is revealed only by the
kecnest scrutiny. whose freedom of action is
hedged about by numberless direct and indi-
rect Constitutional restrictions—such an ofli—'
cer ought to.bc one competent to solve State
problems promptly when they are capable of
prompt solution,and willing to recognize the
delicacy of others which require laborious
study. General Garfield, by his professional
training as well as by his long experience in
the popular branch of Congress, is fitted for
just this sort of work. He has read and
thought much on questions of finance, com-
merce and international law. He has ac—
quainted himself with the remarkable history
of the last twenty years by helping to make
it.—-Syracuse Eoem'ng Herald (Ind).

Good Manners in Church.
The dictionaries tell us that good manners
mean “decorum and politeness,” thought—
fulness and proper respect. This definition
is universal, referring to all conditions in
life. Good manners are the applied gospc
in the intercoursa of life, “Honor all men,”
“In honor preferring one another," “Be ye
courteous," “Let all things be done in de-
cency and in order.” The Bible is the best
book of etiquette. Politeness is the manifes-
tation of Christian reverence and love. The
impolite man has not the spirit of Christ.
The most ignorant and uncultured are al-
ways polite to those they respect and
love. The way of expressing tnclr politeness
may be awkward and destitute of dancing—
school grace, but it will be thoughtful and
real. We have seen an uncouth lad from
the country pick up a lady’s fan, and though
his way of doing it was not very graceful,
the act itself was good manners and manly.
We have seen an exquisite stand and gaze at
ladies passing by, and though the position of
the body was faultless, the act was bad
manners and unmanly.
Good manners, we have said, is thoughtful
attention. Apply this to church life. First,
good manners will give thoughtful attention
to strangers: it will cause churches to offer
true hospitality. The first qualification of a
good sexton is politeness, one whose face
and way. of greeting people says, “We are
glad to see you.” We knew a good deacon
whose countenance was a standing welcome.
The most cordial men in all the church
should be its ushers, who will greet the
poorest child to the house of God, as a
nobleman welcomes a peer to his own man—
sion. Pew holders should have good man—
ners. There is more selfishness seen in
church hospitality than almost anywhere
else. Christian men and women who would
receive every one politely at their homes,
will snub and throw a chill upon the stranger
in church. We have seen a poor woman
motioned out of two seats at the same service.
in a Christian congregation, by those into
whose pews she had been introduced by the
usher. Every church member’s hand ehould
be the hand. of Christ to the stranger at the
church, doing unto others as he would have
others do unto him. We all know the
pleasure of being cordially received in a
strange church, and we all know the pain of
being repulsed by theiindifference of church
people. Be not forgetful to ;enlertain strang-
ers; sometimes they are angels, if not they
are lost souls who need the word of God.
Second, There is a Godward side of good
manners. The place consecrated to His wor-
ship should repress whatevcr is irreverent.
The reducing of the sanctuary to the decor—
um of the lecture room is bad manners.
There are instinctive and proper rules of
etiquette in a ladies parlor, or at a prince’s
eception. The church is the Lord’s rc-
ception room, and the devout soul has
an instinctive sense of reverence when
hi3 enters it. Love to God prompts
good manners in God’s house. Spir-
tual life is thus seen. But most of all good
manners to God should be seen in the re»
spect paid to the forms of worship. Some
persons drag their bodies into church and
leave their souls behind, and singing and
preaching and praying find no. response in
them. They never think that God has called
them to worship. and that not to respond is
as truly ill manners as for a child not to
speak when spoken to by its parents. They
sit “boltupright” in prayer; they are only
listeners when they should be worshippers,
treating God as they would use no respecta-
ble fellow-man. One of the sins in these
times is want of reverence in places of "pub-
lic worship. Let the imagination suppose
Christ to be present in visible form in our
sanctuaries. Such a fact would secure the
truest manners. As Christians we believe he
is present by his invisible spirit, beholding
us though we see not him. Let his presence
be real to our hearts, and then our manners
will be good, because prompted by love to
man and reverence to God.— Golden Rule.

administered this remedy, to the other half
not. The latter all died of hydrophobic,

How Garfield Disp'ensed “Hail
Columbia.”
It is encouraging to campaign with a lead-
er who takes off his coat before he goes into
battle. Colonel Garfield, in command of the
Forty-second Ohio, Fourteenth Kentucky
and a squardron of Ohio cavalry, did this at
Paintville, Ky., when he moved, at the
close of 1862, upon General Humphrey Mar-
shall. Upon going into battle he not only
took off his coat, but he flung it so high in
the air that it lodged in a tree out of reach.
A man whose battle cry was “Go in boys;
give ’cm 'I-Iail Columbia!”’ was not likely
to care much for his clothes as the fight
grew hotter and hotter. , And now that
another battle is to be fought under the same
leadership the republicans who have put
General Garfield to the fore will take off
their coats and only put them on again after
the victory which awaits them. What it is
necessary to give the enemy is simply “Hail
Columbia I” It means the .triumph of order
and of law and about everything else which
a presidential election ought to mean.
“Give ’em Hail Columbia!” isn't the worst
cry which we might have during the coming
contest—Tribune.

President Chadbournc on Gar-
field.
At the meeting of the Middlesex club in
Boston, on Saturday. President Chadbourne
of Williams college made a pleasant speech,
in the course of which he said:
About ten years after my friend from Call-
at Williams, a tall, staid fellow, with a mod-
est bearing, visited the college and announc-
ed his intention of attending. He entered the
college and went through the college course.
When the time for graduation arrived he was
invited to and did deliver the metaphysical
oration, which is an honor. It is an honor
conferred upon a student to be invited to de-
liver the metaphysical oration, as it shows
the improvement he has made and the epin-
ion of the teachers with regard to his powers
of analysis. And just here let me say that
the same characteristic marked him all .the
way through. He was a clear, thorough
logician, as it has been said. He went out
from college bearing with him the good will
of all those men left upon the ground.
I have had written me three or four letters
from parties who propose to write a life of
General Garfield. They want me to write an
account of his college life. All the answer
I can give is this: The college life of Gen.
Garfield was so perfect, so rounded, so pure,
so in accordance with what it ought to be in
all respects, that I can add nothing to it by
eulogizing him. It was a noble college life;
there are no stories to be told of General Gar-
field as a college student. On the contrary,
and manly; the man in college gave promise
of what the man is to—day. And so, when
some charges were madeagaiust him some
years ago, I wrote to Gen. Garfield, and have
said in speeches since that time, that when a
young man goes through a college course
without exhibiting a mean or dishonest trait,
and then :goes out and lives so as to impress
upon other men the idea that he has been
true at all times and in all places. it will take
a great. deal of proof to convince me that
that man has forsaken the path he has trod
so long. And I have seen nothing to shake
my confidence in General Garfield from the
day he entered college until to-day, as he
stands up before the people as candidate for
President of the United States. [Applause]
The speaker said that the men who are bring-
ing charges against Mr. Garfield should ask
one of their own expected-to-be presidential
cendidates,Mr. Payne of Ohio, who knows
.what his record and reputation is at home,
what kind of a man the Republican nominee
is. Now, gentlemen, said he, General Garfield
commenced life night, and he has lived
aright all the way rough. Here we have
members of céngress and senators who have
watched General Garfield during his public
career, and their testimony is: “We have
found him a pure man, successful in every—-
thing he has undertaken.” Now, then, we
have compelled the democratic party, by
this nomination to make the very best
nomination they could make, and it is
to the credit of the Republican party that it
compelled the democratic party to do a good
thing. Yes, that is what it has done. It
was a hard thing to do but it has accomplish-
ed it. (Applause). It was a very good thing
to compel the fellows at the South to support
him—who fought to put down disunion.
(Applause). I want every one of them to
walk up and vote for the man who fought
for the Union. The people of the country
are not going to vote against Gen. Garfield or
Gen. Hancock by any manner of means;
they are going to put the record of the two
parties side by side, commencing way back
at the beginning, and then decide to which?
party they will intrust the reins of
government.
Fashionable Foulncss in Fiction.
A cynical French man or a much-traveled
advent’uress of no nationality, may gain
admission to the ranks of literature with
elaborately garnished stories from the slums
and bagnios or from the scandals of the
divorce courts, but Anglo-Saxon readers at
least should shut the vile rubbish from
their libraries. Anglo‘Saxon ideas of
society and of human life are not those of
Zola and “Ouida.”- With that race the
sensual was never uppermost even in its
rudest days, when brutality of the roughest
sort might be laid to its charge. It believes
in the purity of women, the "fidelity of man,
the sanctity of home and family, and the
possibility of a society in which the passions
are controlled by a sense of duty and of
right. With them the- love of man and
woman is not an animal appetite to be sated
and then to give place to indifference or
aversion. It is a holy sentiment on which
life-long companionship are to be based. was
from which spring the sweet influences of
domestic life and the graces of personal
virtue and integrity. The Anglo—Saxon
mind is not tolerant of infidelity or profiigate
practices cloaked by social pretensions, nor
does it find entertainment in the garbage of
the slums and the arts of unseemly households.
It regards society as made up of families, in
which decency is held in esteem, where the
rose remains on the fair forehead of an
innnocent love and is not displaced by a
blister, and where marriage vo‘ws are not
rated with dicers’ oaths. Society has in it
healthful currents and the substance of a
sound constitution.
Upon this fair domain of our literature
these foreign purveyors of infections-for
‘ Ouida” has no claim to the title of English
woman—are permitted to intrude. They
turn the gutters into our wholsome gardens
and cast the uncleanness of the divorce court
about our hearthstones. The rubbish which
in flaring pictorial weeklics is excluded from
respectable ' kitchens, is elaborated and
embellished in gilt bindings and admitted to
thelparlor table. It is the last tricklings of
that ribald literaturewhich has run‘ through
history in a happily decreasing current from
the old times when human passion was
deified and the rule of the. senses was hardly
resisted.
Pruriency and that alone is, gratified, and
at the same time excited and intensified, by
this kind of reading: Pure taste and virtuous
inclination find nothing congenial in it, and
respectable drawing rooms should as stcrnly
close their doors against it as they would
against the characters that pervade it.

Working Men and Religion.
Christianity is the only system that cares
for the poor. There are men sometimes
who have control over masses of people and
tell them that Christianity is not the poor
man’s friend. I tell you that what religion
has done to civilize this earth has been by
being the poor man’s friend. Jesus, the
great Captain of our Salvation, came from
above and laid himself down besides us—
his great heart of sympathy beside our heart.
He came d mo, and you cannot find a man
on earth poorer than he was. He had not
where to lay his head, and from that plat-
form that platform of lowliness, down in
the midst of that society, he lays tnc arms
of his humanity beneath the lowest of the
low and the poorest of the poor, and then
rising in the majesty of dominion, he raises
mankind up to the throne of God. Blessed
be God for such a Saviour, for such a King
of salvation, even Jesus Christ the Lord.
Now that system cannot fall which binds it-
self to humanity-LBl'shop Simpson.

The subject I’ve chosen to write about,
May not be exactly new; '
But it has'nt been written 'about as much
As some I could mention to you.
But still it is pleasant and true to life
And to me has proved a blessing,' ,
It’s of sitting in a sick room
Of a girl that’s convalescing.
Of course with her you’re intimate,
And are privileged to call,
If not you'd better stay away
And not trouble her. at all.
For you’ll find her dressed en neglege,
Looking pale and interesting,
When admitted for the first time,
By the girl that’s convalescing.
You enter with a smiling face,
Her band’s held out in greeting.
To the friend who’s been so kind to her,
And our heart just sets to beating.
While she looks so sweet and pretty, '
That you catch yourself addressing, I
All sorts of pretty speeches,
To the girl that’s convalesing.
She explains how much she suffered,
For she longs for sympathy- " '
From the strong, well man beside her,
Which you grant quite readily.
Then you hold her little hand in yours,
And you find it so distressing
When the doctor spoils your tetea fete
With the girl that’s convalescing.

Tramp, tramp, tramp in the drunkard's way
. March the feet of a million men; A
If none shall pity and none shall save,
Where will the march they are making
end ? ~ .
The young, the strong, and the old are there
In woeful ranks as they hurry past,
With not a moment to think or care
What is the fate that comes at last.
Tramp. tramp, tramp to a drunkard's doom,
Out of a boyhood pure‘ and fair—
Over the thoughts of love and home-.—
Past the check of a mother's prayer -;
Onward swift to a drunkard’s crime,
Over the plea of wife and child,
Over the holiest ties ofltime—
Reason dethroned, and soul gone wild.
Tramp, tramp, tramp, till a drunkard’sgrave
Covers the broken life of shame—
While the spirit Jesus died to save,
Meets a future we dare not name.
God help us all,_there’s a cross to bear
And work to do for the mighty throng! 0
God gave us strength, till the toil and prayer
Shall end One day in the victor's song!
Pres. Hayes at the Hare of his
Ancestors.
Ever since the President was received at
New Haven, Saturday, evening by Dr. Por.
ter, of the college, and by his host, Mr
Thomas .B. Trowbridge, he has been the re.
cipient of attentions. The services at Centre
Church on Sunday were of special interest
by reason of the remarks appropriate to the
occasion made by the venerable Dr. Bacon. '
Presrdent Hayes, in his visit to the crypt
under the old church after the services, was
astonished to find so many of his ancestors
buried there. The dust of his great grande
uxuthcl,
great-grandfather and their family con~
connections is entombed. there. To—
day he drove to Brandford, about eight
miles from New Haven. He first went to
the summer rdsidence of Mr. Trowbridge.
He then held a reception in Branford village,
in a room in the Potoket House, built by his

The Evening Post, has at length broken
silence wih reference to the Credit Mobilier,
Washington pavement and back salary jobs,
in which, it is alleged, General Garfield was
implicated. A two-column-and-a-half edi-
torial is devoted to the matter, and the cor:-
ciusion arrived 'at is that the allegations
cannot be supported. As to the salary grab
we are told, “he was unfriendly to the meas-
ure and only agreed to it under stress of
circumstances." As to the Credit Mobelier,
the strongest point made by the Post, is this:
“They say that Garfield was convicted by
the Poland Committee. The House Re-
port shows that the committee convicted
nobody but.Oakes Amos and James Brooks. '
The other members who were sought to be
implicated were acquitted.” ‘As to the
paving job, “the evidence brought forward,
as against Gen. Garfield, does not prove the
the case. Garfield has shown that Congress
did not make any appropriation to pay for
the pavement,and was not asked to make any
and, that,” therefore, his official conduct
could not be affected by the fee, because he
could have no official relations to the mat-
ter. .
The democratic mud-throwers are only
selling their own hands bytheir attempts to
.fling the old dirt at the republican candidate
which failed to stick when they first threw it
years ago. They will not succeed in convinc- '
ing the country that the man who has nine
times been elected to congress by the‘ people
of one of the most intelligent district in the
United States is dishonest. A sufficient an—
swer to all their charges is found in the fact
that. after twenty-two years of arduous pub-
lic service, General Garfield's entire property
consists of his home in Washington and his
farm in Ohio, worth together about $15,000.
Let the democrats nominate one of their Inil-
lionaire lawyers or railroad wreckers and go
to the people if they dare on the question of
the persnal honor of the two candidates.»

A Paris authority on American affairs tells
toe following truthful story about the ad-
venture that hefcll the dancier, Sangalll:
“Once when a mancgeress of a traveling cir—
cus in the wilds of Ohio, she was suddenly
attacked by n b lle of Savage Sioux Indians,-
led by the redoubtful Sitting Bull Every-
body lied, and all was consternation and de-
spair, many persons being drowned in the
tempestuous waves of the mighty Amazon.
Suddenly this heroine sprang upon an unsad-
died horse, rallied around her P. T. Barnum
and a few others of her employees, and, with
a revolver in hand, attacked and dispersed
the murderous red devils. Kansas City of-
rewarded her .\\ llll a commemorative medal,
and Colonel Buffalo hill. of Lieutenant Gen—
eral Sllerldcn's staff, knelt at ln-r feet and
offered her his hand and fortune."
