for him, and the dispatches up to the time

The Lessons of a Week.
Last Sabbath, from every Christian church
and every Christian'fireside in the land. went
up heartfelt prayers for the life of the Presi-
dent. It is hard to realize that only a week
has passed. The nation hag lived and learned
much within these seven days. It knows its
President, his noble wife, and his whole fam-
ily far. better'than it did a week ago, and, can
appreciate far more fully the loss that it
would sustain if such a man should be taken
from his sphere ‘of usefulness. “I voted
against him,” said a gray-haired Democrat
on Saturday, “but I know that he is the larg-
est and best man we have ever had in public
life within my time.” In greater or less de-
gree, millions of men have found in them
selves the same change of feeling, the same
growth of appreciation, of thorough trust and
of high regard, as they have watched by the
bedside of the President. His calm resigna-
tion and readiness to meet death, with his cool
courage and unwavering resolution to do his
best to preserve a life useful and precious to
millions; his patient endurance of pain, and
of all the restraints deemed essential to his
recovery; his tenderness of feeling and his
royal strength of will, have made him loved
with an unspeakable love by millions of ’true.
hearted men and women throught the land.
It is not too much to say that this last week
by the bedside of the wounded President has
lifted the National standard of true Christian
manhood for all time to come.
Great trials educate a whole nation at once.
The people will never realize how much they
have learned within the past week. In
knowledge of merely material things, the
whole nation has grown wiser; it has been
studying physical injuries, their nature and
treatment, with such intense interest that
there are thousands of schoolboys to-day who
know more of such subjects than their fa-
thers dld a week ago. But this is. an insig-
nificant part of the knowledge gaiped. Maral
culture has been advanced, how much we
can only surmise. There are millions of
men and women who realize now, as they
never did before, the vale of calm fortitude
resolute will and strict obedience in every
emergency. For years to come there will be:
better patients in thousands of households
because of this week’s teaching. How many
wives and mothers are there who have learned
nothing from Mrs. Garfield ? Everybody
stopped to think a moment on inauguration
day, when it was said that the President
kissed his wife and mother immediately after
taking the oath of office. But now who does
not realize more keenly than ever before the
incalculable blessing and helpfulness of a
united land I loving household? Is it posa
- sible that the pure light Of such an example
will not make better men and women in
many a home hereafter ? For a week it is
as if the Nation had been sitting at a bedside
of a man in sore distress, counting his pulses,
noting his temperature and breathing, and
listening for every wispered word. But
neither the near approach of death nor the
agony of long-continued suffering has drawn
from the President a word of anger or vin-
dictiveness toward any one. How pitiful
seems the wrath of angry foes contrasted
with the kindly spirit of this true, gentle
man. In early days Mr. Garfield Was a teach-
er. But in ripe manhood he teaches greater
lessons to a larger class.
This country thinks more of its free insti-
tutions since it sees what sort of manhood
those institutions develop and have lifted to
highest station. It is a pride and a pleasure
to know that, in one country on earth, neither
lowly birth nor iron fortune prevents the
advancement of a true man to the highest
usefulness. In some quarters, ,it has been
fashionable to sneer at the- convention and
the ballot. But a system which picks out
suchamanas‘James A. Garfield can bear
close criticism. If his life is spared, it is
probable that his peasonal influence will be-
come remarkably potent. ‘The people will
trust him as theyhave not trusted any other
man since Mr. Lincoln. His power to put
down indecent, intemperate and lawless par-
tisanship will. be very great. ,No hostile
parryor faction will'find it easy to‘make
head against a man so known and so loved.
Who can say that greatgood to the country
may not come from 'what once seemed to be
a great' shame and a terrible calamity?
Who can say that the Infinite Father, whose
goodness has been shown so oflen and so
marvellously inthe history of this country,
may Defining a blessing to the Nation and
its President, even from this fanatical and
murderous act f—Sunday Tribune.

A Local Case of Shooting.
The shooting of the President recalls the
Mr. Wm. K. -.Lewis by Mr. E. C. Bissell,
some thirty 'orgmore' years ago. Mr. Bissell
was at that time teller of the Fairfield Coun-
ty Bank and slept in the directors’ loom of
the'old bank building. The bank had pro-
cured for him a pistol, and late one evening
several young gentlemen companions were in
Bissell’s sleeping apartment, ‘whcn he took
out and was exhibiting the new weapon.
Mr. Lewis was standing with his back to
Bissell, who was at the time handling “10
pistol, and about three feet in advance, when
it weutfoff. Mr. Lewis was hit in. almost
precisely the spot where the assassin’s bullet
entered the President’s body—about three
inchesfl-om the spinal column and just above
the top line of.kidneys and in range of the
lower lobes of the liver. ‘ His first sensations
were of sharp, prickling pains in his knee
and leg, he at the time supposing the ball had
hit him behind or beside the knee joint. He
was much prostrated by the shock, tho’ at
first it'was difiicult to make him believe that
he had been bit about the body as he could
feel no pain there. He was conveyed home
and the bullet probed for to the extent of his
physical endurance, without success. It ap-.
peared from the orifice g the wound, that it
must have passed directly into the cavity of
the abdomen, lacerating the lower point of
the liver in its progress. Mr. Lewis was
confined» to’his ,bed' for some time, but after
a healthy supperation ‘of his wound set in be
rapidly recovered and was soon thereafter
attending to his ordinary business, wearing a
compress about his person. .
Now comes in the most singular part of
the history. About a year and a half subse-
quently, Mr. Lewis one 'day felt a hard sub-
stance protruding from beneath the flesh just
above the groin. He at once thought it the
lost and almost forgotten bullet, and going
to .Dr. Hill's office the Doctor made a slight
incision through the skin when the bullet
fell out into his hand. The intruder had
undoubtedly struck a rib in entering Mr.
Lewis’ back and had glanced around instead
of - going into the abdomen as the physicians
had supposed from the track: of the bullet as
traceable. Let us trim and pray that our
good President’s life may be spared by an
equally fortunate turn in the direction of the
assassin’s bullet. The two cases are almost
identical in their outward features, and the
President’s hopeful condition would lead to
a reasonable supposition that the singular
coincidences may be maintained throughout.
P. S.—The above was written from our
own recollection, subsequently confirmed by
Mr. Lewis. This Monday morning we later-
viewed Dr. McLean, who attended him. He
has taken a special interest in the President's
case‘fro’m its almost exact identity with that
of Lewis’. He said‘he probed the wound for
some two or three inches inwardly, with a
slight decline downward, and as his patient’s
eyeballs almost immediately became deeply
yellowed and subsequently his entire surface,
he could not then doubt but that his liverhad
been seriously lacerated and that the bullet
had passed directly. through into the cavity
of theabdomen. Fora week his vomiting
was almost continuous, he throwing off a
greenish, ,billious matter and peritonitis set
in quite violently within twelve hours and
continued over a week, leaving the patient
in a most critical condition. The hyperdemic
use of opium was then unknown and Dr. Mc
Lean was sorely tried and bafiled in his ef—
forts to keep his patient under the influence
of anodynes. The appearance of ‘the bullet
nearly two years afterwards, on the front
surface of the lower abdomen, convinced
the Doctorthat instead of passing directly
into and through the patient’s body, it
struck against and passed between his ribs,
traversing the circuit around on the inner
surface of the rib and droping downward to
the point of its final exit. The injury to the
liver must havgbeen caused by concussion
and the inflammation by the injury to the
peritoneum. This is certainly a case most
singularly identical with that of the Presi-
the symptoms in the the Lewis case were
more critical and severe than any thus far
reported in the case of the President. Every
human heart will hope and pray that the
President’s case may result as favorably.

. Bell's Island Bridge.
_When the Selectmen attempted to re-con— fl
struet the pile bridge to Bell’s Island, which
was carried away by last spring’s flood and
ice, sundry of the watermen thereabouts
procured an injunction, ecauss the select-
men would not also construct a draw. The
Superior Court appointed Curtis Thompso n,
Esq., of Bridgeport, to visit the locality and
take testimony as to whether the inlet or
water course there, was what constitutes in
law, navigable waters. Mr. Thompson ful-
filled that duty ou Friday last, and will re-
port to the next session of the court.
Meantime, the bridge will be delayed several
months, if not until another year, in conse-
quence of the injunction, with the chances
that no bridge at all will be constructed
again. The feeling is very general now that
a good roadway be construcscd via the Roton
Point route. 9

was ever seen so shamefully bad in our

portion cf the same street, which is even
worse. ,
All the good people of Norwalk, will be
pained to learn-that the little grandson of
Rev. Father Fuller, (to which the grsudsire

‘fall from his bicycle last week, seriously
injuring the elbow, and that erysipelas has
set in, mid from which, the lad is seriously
suffering. '

An extract from a letter written by Mrs.
Garfield to her husband ten years ago, is
quoted by Tile Student, of Hiram College,
into the hands of whose president it acci—
dentally fell. “I am glad," Mrs. Garfield
wrote, “to tell that, out of all the toil and
disappointment of the summer just ended, I
have risen up to victory ; that the silence of
thought since you have been away has won
for my spirit a triumph. I read something
like this the other day: “There is no healthy
thought without labor, and thought makes
the laborer happy.’ ' Perhaps this is the way
I have been able 'to climb up higher. ‘It
came to me one morning when I was making
bread. I said to myself :. ‘Here I am, com-
pelled by an inevitable necessity to make our
bread this summer. Why not consider it a
pleasant occupation and make it so by trying
to see What perfect bread I can make 1’” It
seemed like an inspiration and the whole of
life grew brighter. . The .very. sunshine
seemed flowing down through my spirit into
table is‘furnished with better bread than evcr
before.” - ‘ ‘

The Assassination _of‘ the Presi-
» _ . dent. , . ;
God has always‘bccn goodto theArnerican
Republic. In giving to it a land “flowing
with milk and honey,” He has notabandon-
edit toits own devices. He has chosen it
for the home of political ideas best calcula-
ted to advance the individual happiness and
usefulness of mankind, and, whey man’s
perversity has bent the proper current of
those ideas, His finger has always intervened
to regify the wrong. The horrible conflict
of 1 1435 was His way of blotting out the
system of human slavery which our fathers
had left to us as a heritage. The disastrous
defeat of Bull Run, in which our eyes could .
at first only see unmixed evil, was His way
of preventing the. premature close of the
war and the retention of slavery. The assas-
sination of Lincoln, with which the war
closed, was overruled by Him to become the
means of gaining the results of the war to
the full. It becomes now, however feebly
and imperfecty, to endeavor to see what les-
son we are to draw from this awful event.
There is no voter in the Republic who can
fully wash his hands clean ’ from the: blood
of the President. It is the sheerest folly to
expend our indignation upon Guitcau; it is
hardly less foolish to stop with Roscoe Conk-
ling. “We, the people,” have for years ale
‘lowed the chief magistrate of the Republic
to be condemned to a labor which might
appal a galley-slave and nauseate a scavenger.
He has had to submit to be pestered by ap-
plications for postmasterships, consulships,
tide-waiterships, and and all the petty offices
of a great government, and the interests of
58,000,000 million of people have had to be
postponed for a decision upon the conflicting
claims of two factions es the party upon the
New York Custom House. One president,
Harrison, had already been harrsssed to
death by ofiice seekers within six weeks after
his inauguration; succeeding presidents have
been compelled to surrender the appointing
power, in practice, to Congressmen in order
to escape a similar fate; and now the first
President who has ventured to make a stand
for his constitutional preogative is shot, per-
haps to death, a disappointed ofilce seek-
er. Verily, if is last lesson be totally lost
upon the American people, “neither would
they believe though one rose from the dead.”
We are not of those who expect evil from
General Arthur ; the Republic is greater than
any man. Practice has shown that a clear
majority of the American people cannot
change the administration of government
from three to six years; what then can one
man do? But the important matter is that
each of us should personally take to heart
the great lesson of the day, and that Gar-
field’s blood should not have been spilled in
vain. If we wish peace, security and good
government, if We wish to be ranked on a
higher: level than Russia or Turkey, if we
wish the President to be freed from the anx-
iety of ofiice-broking on the one hand, and
from the bloody hands of crazed office-seek-
ers on the other, let our representatives in
Congress turn over these recommendations
for appointments for small ofiices to some
legally constituted board of' examiners, who
shall finally decide upon them without
annoyance to the President and without dic-
tation from petty politicians.

The Pastor of the Congregational church at
New Canaan, arranged to have the telegraph
operator send him all the news he might re-

time during his church service on Sunday
week. Just as be commenced hissermon a
more encouraging telegram was sent into the
pulpit. The pastor stopped'his discourse,
read the dispatch and asked his congregation
to all rise and join in singing “Praise God
from whom all blessings flow.” A party
present tells us that never was that church
swelled by more inspiring music, and at the
conclusion of the singing there was not a dry

quest, and during ,the progress of most

words and instantly invited his people to

COAL OIL.—Thc Scranton (Penn) Repub-

ital invested in it. The principal expendi-
tures are caused by the digging of wells,
only aportion of which yield remunerative
results. It has been computed by eminent
engineers well acquainted with the trade
that no less than 20,000 wells have thus far
been dug in Pennsylvania and West Vir-
ginia, at an aggregate cost of $192,000,000.
They have yielded about 88,000,000 of barrels
of oil, valued. at the wells at $300,000,000 or
$400,000,000 at the seaboard. - These figures
show how valuable this deposit has been to
the State,and how the railroads of the country
have been benefitted by transporting these
vast supplies."

Our Washington Letter.
WASINGTON, July 9, 1881.
DEAR GAZETTE :— _ .
Just one week ago to-day occurred that
never to. be forgotten horror, the attempt at'
our President’s life. During that week,
though almost, and at times quite given up'
by his physicians, he has rallied again and
again till now, at the present writing, he may
safely be regarded as on the road to recovery.
Since Saturday night, when his. symptoms
took such a favOrable form, the public mind'
has hoped for tho best, and thus far their
hopes have been realized. Inch by inch,
stcpby step, the President is marching up
out of the valley of death, and each day that
passes brings renewed and additional hope
to the anxious watchers.
Should President Garfield recover from
this wound, (which there is now every rea-
son to hope he will.) he owes his recovery to.
his firm will and cleanly life. When the
doctors were examining his wound last Sat—
urday, he asked one: “Doctor, I want you to
tell me just howI am. Is there a chance
for my recovery ?” “Just one in a hundred,”
said the Doctor. The President then with a
smile on his face, said, “Well, doctor, we’ll
have to take that one.” He seemed deter-
mined to recover, and day after day he. has
been cheerful and uncomplaining. Did be
for one hour give up his courage, did he be-
come low spirited there was no chance for
him. But day by day he maintains the same
unwavering courage and has ever ‘a pleasant
word or smile for those about him. His
physicians say that in all their experience
never have they seen such an exhibition of
willpower. They say it is wonderful and
to it he owes his hopeful condition thus far.
MRS. GARFIELD
Still attends her stricken husband. It was
thought at first that the strain and excitement
would be too much‘for her, but she bears up.
bravely and is actually gaining strength her-
self. She is with him all the timc except
when getting necessary rest,and her cheering
presence does much to alleviate the long
hours of suffering which the President under-_
goes. . '
THE WOULD BE ASSASSIN
Is still confined in the jail in the eastern part
of the city. There was a rumor, to which
considerable credence was at first given, that
he had been transferred to one of the moni—
tors anchored off the Navy Yard, but subse-
quent developments proved it untrue. No
one is allowed to see or talk with him with-
out a special pass from the District Attorney,
and that is exceedingly difiicult to get. The
prisoner was visited Thursday by a promi—
nent photographer of this city who succcded
in getting a very good likeness of him, and
with an eye to “biz” is printing copies by
the thousands and sending them all over the
country. .
Tun PENALTY or THE CRIME.
Now that the President’s improvement
gives rise to hopes of his recovery,the public
mind turns to the assassin and the penalty he
will pay. The criminal statutes of the Dis—
trict of Columbia provide that “Evcry person
convicted of manslaughter, or any assault
with intent to kill, shall be sentenced to suf-
fer imprisonment and labor, for the first of-
fense, for a period of not less than two nor
more than eight years.” '
There is a manifest inconsistency in a law
that prescribes death for murder, and an
imprisonment of not more than eight years
for an assault with-intent to commit murder.
The proper administration of justice is im—
possible under such a statute.
The criminal motive is the same in both
cases, whether the homicide is complete or
from any cause falls short of consummation;
and if the object of the law is to protect
society from those who have murder in their
hearts, its object is not obtained when it
makes so light an offense of what is morally
as culpable as the capital crime. .
The measure of punishment should be
made commensurate with tile‘gui'lty purpose
of the criminal; not limited by the magni-
tude of the actual act accomplished.
As the law now stands, the convicted
murderer may be hung, but the same man,
had his shots failed to take fatal effect, and
his intention thus been frustrated, escapes
with no greater penalty than the horse thief,
the burglar or incendiary, and with less than
the connterfeiter or perj urer.
It seems as if this almost tragedy, would
call the attention of Congress to this matter.
There should be a statute enacted binding in
all our states, district or territories, to the
effect that whoever shall at any time commit
or attempt to commit violence upon the per-
son of the President of the United States
shall be deemed guilty of treason and shall
suffer death. No less than this will fill the
bill.
GOVERNMENT PRINTING orrion.
The appropriation for the last fiscal year
having nearly been exhausted, during the
latter part of May and the fore part of J sue,
the Government Printer was obliged to fur-
lough several hundred employees in addition
to running the office on short time. The ap-
propriation for the present fiscal year having
become available July let, the furloughcd
employees are again at work and the office
is now running on full time.
TREASURY‘ DECISION.
The Treasury department has decided that
Gold-and silver may be deposited for the re-
demption of circulating notes, and' that it
may also be paid out by the United States
Treasurer in the redemption of National
bank notes. .

The Society for Savings in Hartford, the
largest savin s bank of the state, with assets
of nearly $8, 00,000,liave decided practically
to reduce the rate_of interest of real estate
loans from 0 to 5 per cent. Borrowers are
at liberty to give notice to the bank that,
after the expiration of the next six months,
they desire to pay only 5 per cent. The
bank managers will then have a new inspec-
tion of the property made, and if satisfied
with the security will reduce the rate; if not
satified, they will give to the borrower how
much the loan must be reduced in order to
obtain the reduced rate of interest. The in-
tention is to make all “gilt-edged” loans
bear only 5 per cent. It is said the result
will probably be similar action on the part of
other. savings banks throughout the state,
and a consequent marked imrpovcment in
the value of real estate, which has been
paying 6 per cent. without regard to .the
general decline in interest. The society, from
savings alone, has more than $5,000,000
loaned on real estate.

ON THE HEIGHTS.
Within the precints of an ancient town, '
A church spire rose straight in the silent air,
The Moslem’s call rang from his minaret,
The Jew’s prayer-echoed in his synagogue.
'It chanced one daya sheikh, a monk and Jew
.Wcre climbing up a toilsonr'e mountain path
Which overlooked the city at their feet.
From time to time their glances traveled
down ,
To where their homes of prayer together lay,
And each one thought with rapture of his
own.
But when at lenglh they gained the moutain's
crest - '
And sought their precious fanes so far below
In truth they could not well distinguish them.
Then spake they to each other on the heights;
Sure life is but a toilsome mountan path :
The higher we climb, the nobler lives we lead
The more we tread in peace the common road
Swift fade away the outlines, of the creeeds,
Yet on God’s mount atjlast we all may stand.

A Georgla Welcome.
A newly commissioned missionary of the
American Sunday School Union in the State
'of Georgia says of the section in which he
labors :-“The necessity for missionary work
cannot be told nor its importance overesti-
mated. Our pastor said to me : ‘Thank
God for putting it into the hearts of good
us to visit from house to house. I have been
praying for it for thirteen years. I can give
you work enough for a year among our own
churches, and the other denominations are
as needyas we.’ Other pastogs of various
denominations bore similar testimony to the
necessity for personal missionary work.”

The most perilous hour of a person’s life
is when he is tempted to despond. The man
who loses his courage loses all; there is no
more hope of him than of a mad man; but
it matters not how poor he may be, how
much pushed by jcircumstances, how much
deserted by friends, how much lost to the
world; if he only keeps his courage, holds
up his head, works on with his hands, and in
his unconquerable ,will determines to be
