GUITEAU trial coming on. Sub
scribe for the CITIZIN.
YNA GARFIBLD and family have re
turned to Mentor, their old home.
IT is thought that Guiteau will not
be tried until the first Monday of De
cember.
Wi regret to learn of the serious ill-
MM of Major W. C. Adams, of Fair
view, and hope he may recover.
THE closing funeral ceremonies at
Cleveland, over the remains of Presi
dent Garfield, and which we were un
able to give last week, will be found
LA the CITIZEN this week.
'lf ye lore me, keep my command
ment!,' said the Master. If we would
honor the memory of James A. Gar
field we mast be true to the principles
which be taught and in defense of
which be gave op his life.
IT is said that Conkling is trying to
work his way back into the Senate of
the United States. Tbe scheme is
supposed to be an effort to get Mr.
Lapham, one of the newly elected
Senators from New York, a place in
the Cabinet, or some other important
place, and then Conkling to take his
place. We have too much confidence
in President Arthur and tbe Repuli
cans of New York to think for a mo
ment that they would countenance
such a thing at this time.
DKMONSTRATIONB of sympathy with
tbe American people and Mrs. Garfield
and of respect for the memory and ad-,
miration of the character of General
Garfield were general throughout
world. From as far distant places as
Cairo, Egypt, reports come of memorial
services. In London and throughout
all England tbe monrning for Presi
dent Garfield has never been equaled
by that for any foreign sovereign;
business was very largelr suspended,
tbe exchanges being closed; palaces,
business offices, hotels, etc., put'on tbe
insignia of mourning, and even cab
and omnibus drivers decorated their
whips with crape. Immense crowds
attended the churches where memorial
services were held and listened to eu
logies on tbe illustrious deceased.
Ir the Democrats could or would
carry out the tenth part of all they lay
down in their platforms they wonld be
a pretty good party. But all the expe
rience of these latter years are against
them on this point. The resolutions
they passed in State Convention last
week are profuse in what they call
"Jeffersonian doctrines," and in what
their candidate for State Treasurer
wonld do and would not do in case he
were elected. But these "Jeffersonian"
principles have heretofore been found
to be but pretty theories and seldom
- put into practice. They elected a State
... Treasurer not many years ago, "square
timber Noyes," tbey called him, but
there are no reforms on record tbit be
instituted. When they get into office
they are just like other people, if not a
little more so.
REPORTS from Washington and New
York, through channels entitled to
credit, to tbe effect that President Ar
thur is not going to shame bis country
men by repudiating or even looking
coldly on the Garfield policy of admin
istration are encouraging and assuring.
We sincerely trust tbey may not prove
deceitful and that the good work of
reforming the Government and admin
istering the civil seryice as though it
were a trust and not a perquisite may
be found to have received new life and
new impetus by the author's sad and
seemingly calamitous death. Presi
dent Arthur is * man of intelligence,
* energy and-culture, and it cannot be
, , that he will miss so grand an opportu-
ifity to .jtaJ&e himself popular and hon
ored in the, land. Tone sure be will
* hate some adverse associations and
prejudices to conquer, but when bo
>. sees so plainly what is the matter with
•ur politics, what tbe people want and
mean to have, and what it is the easi
est thing to do, we cannot doubt he
will do the sensible thing and let the
dead past bury its dead without his
assistance The retention of the Gar
field Cabinet—at least of all the leading
members of it, is highly importent if
be intends to start right and to early
win the confidence of the country.
This is promised in dispatches to some
of the leading Republican journals, but
it is not generally credited.— Crawford
Journal',
THE proceedings of the meetings of
the Bar here and the citizens of Petro
lia, this county, on the death of the
late President Garfield, will be found
upon the first page of the CITIZEN this
week. They will be read with inter
est ; particularly the remarks of C. A.
Sullivan, Esq., at the meeting here
and the resolutions passed at the Petro
lia meeting. That resolution especial
ly of the Petrolia meeting that refers
to the results of "stalwartism," truly
gives voice to the feelings of the peo
ple, and the citizens of Petrolia de
serve the thanks of all for their cour
age in denouncing it For if there is
one lesson more than another, to be
learned from the recent National calam
ity, it is that which is learned from the
evil effects of the bitter political strife
for office. That the speeches of Conk
ling, abusive of President Garfield for
his appointments to office, had an ef
fect on the mind of the assassin, Gui
teau, there can be no doubt "Stal
wartism," as preached and practiced
by Conkling and his friends, meant
their continuing rule in the Republican
party, and, if not rule, then the ruin of
it. This was evidenced by the action
of Conkling himself as well as by the
subsequent and fatal one of Guiteau.
AT the special session of the United
States Senate, that convenes next
Monday, there may be a speedy organ
ization of the same and there may not
be. If the body were fully seated
there would be 38 Republicans and 38
Democrats, counting Senator Mahone,
of Virginia, with the Republicans and
Senator Davis, of Illinois, with the
Democrats. But there are three va
cant seats in the body until the two
New York Senators and the Senator
who will succeed Gen. Barnside, deceas
ed, from Rhode Island, are sworn in.
These are all Republicans and cannot
participate in the organization of the
Senate until sworn in and becoming
members of the body. They cannot
be sworn in before a President, pro
tern, of the body is elected, as that of
ficer administers the oath to the new
members. If this is the case the
Democrats have the power to elect one
of their members as the President pro
tem, which is a matter of interest just
now from the fact that that person
will occnpy the position the Vice Presi
dent did as regards the succession to
the Presidency. While this mighi be
unfortunate, in some respects, yet it
would be still more unfortunate to
witness a deadlock and a wrangle in
the Senate at the present time. This
cannot ariße unless the Republicans
believe and claim that the three new
Senators have a right toparticipate in
the organization before being sworn in.
What the parliamentary law or prac
tice has been on this point we do not
inquire or know, but we agree with
that sentiment which believes it would
be unseemly and unfortunate for the
country if there is not a peaceable and
speedy organization of the Senate
when that body meets on Monday
next
STATE TREASURER.
The Democratic State Convention,
that met at Williamsport last week,
nominated the Hon. Orange Noble, of
Erie, as their candidate for State
Treasurer. This now completes the
list and makes five candidates in the
field for that office.
Besides Mr. Noble, as the Democrat
ic candidate, there is the regular Re
publican candidate, Gen. Silas M.
Bailey, of Fayette county; the
Hon. Charles S. Wolfe, Independent
Republican candidate, of Union county;
Mr. Wilson, of Mercer county, Temper
ance candidate, and Mr. Jackson, also
of Mercer county, as the Greenback
candidate. From these the people
will have to choose in November next.
We may at another time discuss the
political situation as presented by
these several candidates.
TRIAL OF GUI TEA U.
By the dispatches we give in anoth
er place, it will be seen that the trial
of Guiteau already commenced in
Washington, D. C. A bill of indict
ment against him will be laid before
a grand jury this week and will
doubtless be found a true bill for mur
der. The trial may not take place for
some weeks yet. But it is thought
there will be no legal difficulties in the
trial and of a conviction. The Presi
dent having died in the State *of New
Jersey, it was supposed a question
might arise as to whether ne would
not have to be tried in that State. But
a recent opinion from the pen of Judge
Agnew would seem to set that ques
tion at rest. He shows that Congress,
as late as 1867, by a statute has pro
vided that Guiteau can legally be tried
in either place, in Washington where
the shooting was done or in New
Jersey where the President breathed
his last.
We may give this opinion of Judge
Agnew in full at another time, and
will give our readers as full proceed
ings of the trial of Guiteau as possible.
It will be looked to with great inter
est by all. While the people all do
sire to see the trial proceed according
to the forms of law, yet they all desire
at the same time to Bee quick and
certain punishment for a crime, the
boldest, the most fiendish, and the
most lamentable in its consequences
ever perpetrated in this or any other
country.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR.
The acts of President Arthur so far
are calculated to create confidence in
him. No man could have come to the
Presidency under more embarrassing
circumstances than he has done. All
his political surroundings were unfa
vorable, and the misgivings of the
great mass of the Republicans of the
Nation were freely expressed. Yet he
may agreeably disappoint all and we
at present believe he will He has a
grand opportunity—the grandest ever
afforded in this country to any one
man to free himself from boss rule
and dictation, and to be the President
of the people, in the spirit and light of
his lamented predecessor, and it looks
as if he realized the situation. We
give no credence at present to the
many rumors about Cabinet changes.
No sudden changes will be made, at
least ought not to be.
tilllTEAi'S TKIAL.
NOT AFRAID OF THE LAW—THE WIT
NESSES SUBPCENAED—WHO
WILL TESTIFY.
WASHINGTON, September 28.—Dis
trict Attorney Corkbill to-day took the
last steps in the preliminary arrange
ments for securing the indictment of
Guiteau next week by issuiDg subpce
naes to the following witnesses for the
'United States against Charles J. Guit
eau Edward A. Bailey, Stenographer,
who has a large mass of notes of con
versations with Guiteau while in jail'
giving his history from early boyhood,
reasons for committing the act, etc.;
Geo. W. Adams, President of the
Evening Star Published Company,
who was at the depot on rout to Cape
May when the shooting occurred:
George W. McElfresh, detective; Dr.
D. W. Bliss and Dr S. Lamb, who we
present at the autopsy; Jacob P
Smith, special officer at the Baltimore
and Potomac Railroad Depot, who
witnessed the shooting and assisted in
the arrest of Guiteau; Sarah E. D.
White, in charge of the ladies' waiting
room at the depot—she witnessed the
shooting and helped to raise the Presi
dent; R. A. Park, ticket-seller, who
jumped through the window of bis of
fice and assisted in raising the Presi
dent ; Policeman Patrick Kearney,
who spoke to the President just before
the shooting, telling him he had ten
minutes to wait for the train. This
witness also assisted in Guiteau's ar
rest The District Attorney will ask
Senor Don Simon Camacho, Charge
d'Affaires of Venezuela, who was in
the depot and witnessed the shooting,
to come forward and testify. No sub
poena can issue in the later case, because
the gentleman represents a foreign
country and is not subject to subpoena.
All of the above-named witnesses
are directed to be in attendance at the
reassembling of the Grand Jury at
the Criminal Court-room on Monday
morning next at 10 o'clock, when a
presentment of the case will be made
to the Grand Jury. No answer has
yet been received by the District At
torney from George M Scoville, Guit
eau's brother-in-law, who was request
ed by the prisoner to appear as his
counsel. Guiteau says he is not afraid
of the law, for that will protect him
and prevent his being hung. He is
reported as feeling somewhat disap
pointed at not receiving a prompt re
ply from his brother-in-law.
Little doubt exists here but that his
case will be presented quietly on Mon
day next to the Grand Jury, and that
body will report in favor of his indict
ment for the murder of President Gar
field.
GUITEAU'B BROTHER-IN-LAW, MR. SCO
VILLE, WILL APPEAR AS HIS
COUNSEL.
CNICAGO, September 29.—George
Sco v i 11, jG u iteau 's|brotber-i n-1 aw, arriv
ed here last night from Hartford, Wis.,
wbere he has a beautiful summer resi
dence. He said he had received noti
fication that Guiteau had chosen him
for his counsel, and that be would have
to appear on next Monday morning.
'Have you answered the dispatch V
'Not yet,' replied Mr. Scoville. 'lt
was sent to me to Wisconsin, but I
had not made up my mind what to do.'
'Will you act as Guiteau's counsel ?'
'I would rather leave it to the United
States Government to appoint counsel
to defend him, but my wife, who is
Guiteau's nearest relative, and almost
his only friend upon earth, insists that
I shall appear as his counsel, and I
suppose I shall hare to grant that re
quest.' 'Will you so telegraph Mr.
Corkhill ?' 'Yes, sir ;' I shall answer
his dispatch to-day to that effect.'
'When will you leave for Washington ?'
'I shall be there in time to be on hand
when he is called upon to plead.' 'Will
you engage other counsels to assist
you ?' 'That I haven't determined
upon yet.' 'Do you anticipate a
speedy trial ?' 'I don't know about
that. I don't think Guiteau can be
tried right away. When be is called
upon to plead the time of bis trial will
be fixed. We will have to secure time
in order to prepare for the defense.
Witnesses will have to be summoned
from all parts of the country, and that
will take time.' 'What will be your
detense V 'I think that has been
pretty well outlined. lam not in fa
vor of making any technicality to the
form of indictment or to question the
jurisdiction of the court. Our defense
will be insanity, and I shouldn't ad
vise anything else. We have known
nothing of Guiteau for three years past
until this summer. I do not appre
hend but that he will be accorded a
fair trial. Our greatest effort will be
to get men on the jury who will have
judicial minds, men who have read
of the case, kuow the facts, and who
will be fair in the trial. I
believe the government will see that
be shall bavo an impartial trial.'
George Scoville to clay formally
asked Emery Storrs to assist in the de
fense of Guiteau. Storrs declined
with thanks.
A Washington dispach says Colonel
Corkhili, Uuited States District Attor
ney, received this morning, from At
torney General Stockton, New Jersey,
a communication in which be states
that no action will he taken in Gui
teau's case by the authorities of that
State.

The New Horse Diseaaeln (be
West.
CHICAGO, 111., Sept. 27.—Pink eye,
the new aud mysterious horse disease,
is spreading in this city. It first made
its appearance here about tea days ago,
and has spread so rapidly that nearly
every large stable in the city is suffer
ing from its ravages. Eight horses in
the fire departmen are dowD with it.
Express companies and street car lines
all report animals suffering from the
complaint The disease first made its
appearance in running at the eyes.
The horse feels dumpish and the legs
swell. After a few days, as a general
thing, the horses recuperate. The di
sease often proves fatal.
The President and the Doctors.
President Garfield's wound will take
rank among the most celebrated cases
in surgery. At first it was supposed
that the liver and intestines had been
injured, and death was expected with
in a few hours from hemorrhage or
peritonitis. More than a week passed
before the surgeons were willing to
admit that their first diagnosis was in
correct. They then found that there
was a long channel from the external
opening, extending downward towards
the right groin, and concluded that
this was the track of the bullet. A
lump was felt on pressure at the end
of this channel, and an electric contriv
ance apparently indicated the presence
of a metallic substance at that place.
During the last week of the case, the
opinion that the ball was located here
was almost unanimous.
Surgeons not connected with the
case, assuming this latter diagnosis to
be correct, have held that the bullet
should have been removed at all haz
ards as soon as its location was discov
ered. The physician "who has been
'practising in the columns of the New
York Herald." as Dr. Agnew said,
has demonstrated with great learning
that the bullet was partially flattened
by striking against the rib, and that a
jagged ball could never become encyst
ed. It could therefore only be a con
stant source of inflammation and sup
puration, and until it was removed
there could be no well-grounded hope
of ultimate recovery. The post mortem
examination made by the surgeons
showed that all the diagnoses had
beeu incorrect, and that the Herald
man was more hopelessly wrong than
anybody else in his view of the case.
So late as the morning afier the
President's death, the Herald asserted
that probably no well-informed medi
cal man doubted that had the surgeons
cut for and removed the bullet <n the
first place, Mr. Garfield would be alive
and well. The autopsy showed that
the bullet was in a place where remov
al was out of the question, and that it
had never been a source of danger in
the case. Thf> cause of death was the
inflammation and suppuration induced
by the fragments of the spinal column,
which led to the burrowing abscess,
the absorption of pus, the metastatic
abscesses and the finally fatal hemor
rhage. Had this artery not been rup
tured, death would have ensued in a
day or two from exhaustion. The
case was hopeless from the first, and
the autopsy justifies in every respect
the course of treatment adopted by the
surgeons in charge. It is some conso
lation for the mourning nation to
know that no human skill could have
saved the President's life, and to be
certain that the assassin's bullet was
the sole cause of his death. There can
be but one opinion about the bad taste
and professional jealously that have
marked the public utterances of those
who have criticized everything that
has been done in the case by the sur
geons in charge.

Closing Scenes at Cleveland.
AT HOME AT LAST.
CLEVELAND, September 26. —At last he is at
home. It has been a sail journey and the end
was only reached today. This afternoon the
mortal remains of one of the very best loved
men this new nation ever had were returned
to their native hills. He often wished to be
here even when in health and surrounded by
wealth and power, but when deatli approached
his great warm heart and powerful busy brain
turned toward this spot as the child longs for
it's mother's arms when weary. From child
hood he had worked hard for a great place in
life. When his foot had reached the top round
of the ladder, the summit of which he had so
richly earned, a reptile stung him and he fell.
He caught hold of the round from which his
foot slipped, and for a time his grip was strong,
but the poison the viper had sent was too deep,
and after an effort such as no mortal ever be
fore made for life, the once strong bands relax
ed, and with a sigh the struggle ended, the spir
it went above, and the form which friends and
country loved was limp and lifeless. Loving
hands and loyal, stricken hearts that had wait
ed, hoped and feared as never before watched
over man, tenderly raised the body up and
brought it home upon a bed of tears and a
truck of flowers. It has been a long journey,
and many tearful mourners have stood by the
roadside.
THE SOLEMNITY OF THE FINAL ACT.
Words are powerless to picture it or to even
faintly describe the awful solemnity of the final
act. In his lifetime General Garfield loved
these hills and valleys by the lake side and the
people who lived here, and his longing to be
surrounded by the dear old quiet of his birth
place was so touching and pathetic as to touch
the hearts of all. His wish has been respected
even in death, and could he have looked at the
evidences of their affection, as shown to-day,
or upon the final home they have selected for
him, he might have thought the measure of his
glory full and slept ou. The ostentatious hom
age of the public pales by the side of th» heart
felt grief which to-day followed the remains to
Lake View. The services over the remains
were simple and affectiug. Few ears in the
vast concourse could catch the minister's words
when he prayed or spoke the eulogy of the de
ceased. If they could they would" have mar
veled to see how poorly words can portray such
a life and character.
THE FL'JFEBAL CAB.
Before these representatives were all io their
places the funeral car was drawn into the in.
closure by twelve black horses. This sombre
vehicle attracted great attention, and is doubt
less one of the fiues vehicles of the kind ever
improvised for a like service. It consists of a
platform eight by sixteen feet, supported on
four heavy truck wheels. From the edge of
the platform to within an inch of the ground
heavv black drapery bordered with silver fringe
is suspended. Immediately below and contigu
ous to the platform hang folds of heavy white
silk caught up with black silk cord. Two
terrace steps lead up to the pall. Between the
steps rolls of immortelles run around the whole
car. On each corner of the platform is a stand
of flags draped in black. The arch canopy is
supported by three columns on each side cover
"ed with black broadcloth and coiled garlands
of immortelles, with capitals of Egyptian de
signs . Immediately obove the columns runs a
r rejecting cornice, with black and white roses,
n the frieze, under which are hung festoons of
heavy broadcloth and silver fringe, large
wreaths of immortelles bejng displayed in the
shape of lambrequins on the four oorqers aboye
the canopy, are black ostrich plumers—the
whole crowned by a large urn wreathed with
immortelles. This magnificent car was drawn
by twelve black horses, four abreast, covered
with heavy black blankets almost touching the
ground, fringed with silver. On either side of
each four horses was a colored groom—the
same six who did a like service at the funeral
of the first martyr President.
THE SCENE ON TUE ARRIVAL OF TAE FAMILY >
The scene upon the arival of the family at
the pavilion, where the remains rested upon
the magnificent catafalaue, deserves special
mention, for it was the culmination of the sor
rowful iuterest of a long mourning, and the sad
completing touch to the mournful preparations
for the final ceremony. Going up the short in
cline from the steps of the carriage to where
the body lay, the aged mother leaned upon the
arm of James, the young son who was sick at
Williams College when the father died, and
who is still pale from that illness and the great
strain upon him. The burden seemed too
heavy for both himself and his a«ed grand
mother. who leaned heavily upon his arm.
A TORCHING SCENE.
There was a touching scene when Mother
Garfietd entered the pavilion. Before taking a
seat she pressed toward the coffin containing
the remains of her best-loved child, and lean
ing over it hid her face from all observers with
her arm. It was a touching scene which
moved many a heart to tears. The disposition
of the family, relatives and Cabinet around the
catafalque necessarily consumed some few min
utes, and when it was completed and all was in
readiness for the ceremonies to begin the scene
was indeed a sorrowful one. At tne head and
foot of the coffin on either side stood the almost
motionless sentries, musket in hand, as if to
ward off invaders from the treasure they were
guarding and eyen those who had a right to
claim it. On either side were the bank of flow
ers I have previously described, which are ftwt
following the body to decay. The beautiftil
white doves on the four corners of the bald
achin which holds the mourning canopy seem
ed to be breaking the last tie before flying to
the spirit of the departed with tidings of the es
teem of his countrymen which is this day being
made so marvilously manifest. On the right,
looking east, the monrning family sat, cut
from the loved from only by the silent sentu
ries.
THE CEREMONIES.
The quiet moment when this sceue was wit
nessed was of short duration, for the ministers
who were to officiate witdrew to the platform,
and the man ot God who assisted in tne relig
ious exercises called upon the Cleveland Vocal
Society to sing the funeral hymn from Beeth
oven, Thou Art Gone to the Grave. A moment
after the strains of the beautiful music floated
over the impressive scene aud the funeral cer
emonies began. After the siugiug of the hymn
was concluded Dr. J. P. Robinson oalled upon
Bishop Bedell of this Episcopal Diocese, who
read a passage of Scripture, begining with Job
xiv. Rev. R. C. Houghton then delivered in a
very impressive manner the followiug eloquent
prayer.
AN ELOQUENT PRAYER.
"O God, our Father, we bow before Thee
with the weight of a great sorrow upon our
hearts. Our beloved President is dead, and all
our hopes, which depended on hi* wisdom and
his integrity for their fulfillment, are blighted.
Just why Thou hast suffered this sore trial to
come upon us we cannot tell, for Thou hast not
informed us of the secrets of Thy government.
Thy thoughts are not our thoughts, Thy ways
are not our ways. We bow in humble submis
sion to Thy will, and we pray for Divine help
that we may not for one moment even doubt
Thy wisdom or love.
THK SERMON BY KEV. MR. ERBKTT.
The Vocal Society then sang as follows:
"To Thee, O Lord, I yield my spirit,
Who breaks in love this mortal chain ;
My life I but from Thee inherit,
And death becomes my ehiefest aiiu.
In Thee I live ; in Thee I die
Content, for Thou art ever nigh."
Rev. Isaac Errett, of Cincinnati then deliver
ed an eloquent address, taking for his text the
following: "And the archers shot KingJosiah,
and the King said to his servaats, 'Have me
away, for lam sore wounded,' " etc. He said :
"There never was a mourning in all the world
like unto this mourning. lam not speaking
extravagantly when I say it, for I am told that
it is the result of calculations carefully made
from such data as are in possession that certain
ly not less than three hundred millions of the
human race share in the sadness and the lamen
tations and sorrow nnd mourning that belong
to the occasion here to-day.
READING THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE HYMN
—HO ! REAPERS OK LIFE'S HARVEST.
When the serinon was concluded the Rev.
Jabez Hill, of Cleveland, read General Oar
field's favorite hymn, "Ho ! Reapers of Life's
Harvest:
Ho ! reapers of life's harvest,
Why stand with rusted blade,
Until the night draws round thee
And day begins to fade ?
Why stand ye idle, waiting,
For reapers more to come?
The golden morn is passing,
Why stand ye idle, dumb?
Thrust in your sharpened sickle
And gather in the grain,
The night is fast approaching
And soon will come again.
The Master calls for reapers,
And shall He call in vain ?
Shall leaves lie there ungathered,
And waste upon the plain ?
Mount up the heights of wisdom
And crush each error low;
Keep back no words of knowledge
That human hearts should know,
Be faithful to thy mission,
In service of thy Lord.
And then a golden chariot
Shall be thy reward.
STARTING THE BODY OS ITS FINAL JOtRSKY. I
Mr. Hill read this l>eautiful hymn with great
effect, and it wan really the feature of the fune
ral ceremonies. As tiie I*M words died upon
his lips the vocal society began singing it. The
little incident moved many to tears. When the
singing was concluded Rev. 8. Pomeroy deliv- ,
ere 3 a short and appropriate prayer aud then j
gave the benediction. After the ceremonies
were thus concluded there was a delay occa
sioned by the immense number of bodies that
had to be formed in line before the corpse was
started upon its final journey. Ex-President
Hayes and wife and ex-Secretary Evarts follow
ed the relatives and the three inseparable asso
ciates of Garfield in his life time. Gen. Swaim
and Colonels Rockwell and Corbin. followed.
Private Secretary Brown directed the move
ments of the family and friends. It was 12:30
p. M. when all was in readiness, and the impos
ing yet mournful procession started up the
road to General Garfield's final h»me.
AT THE TOMB.
At the tomb beyond the hill a different scene
wax being enacted. None were admitted to the
cemetery without passes from the Local Com
mittee on Arrangements, but early in the dav
numbers of ladies and children went to pick
flowers on the hillside. These they carried in
pretty baskets to the vault and the soldiers
there" had not the heart to refuse them admit
tance. In a few minutes the stone chamber
where the President sleeps to-night was filled
with tender blossoms. The black tapestries
covering the walls were hung with trailing ivy
and smilax, while the footsteps on the marble
floor lost themselves in a soft bed of flowers.
The low hum of bees and the song of birds
came softly to the ear in that silent chamber of
death behind whose wall the remains of three
dead soldiers have found an eternal rest. The
small lake to which the path from the tomb
descends was filled with clear, limpid waters,
fed by a little fountain which tossed and spark
led in the sunlight. Under the shroud which
overhung the vault to-day were the battle-flags
of General Garfield's old regiment. A wall
wider than the tomb itself was strewn with
evergreens which ended where the main avenue
began, and where the bearers from the hearse
were to lay their burden.
THE DESCENT OF THE FAMILY.
The carriage stopped suddenly before the
tomb and the curtains were raised by Mrs.
Garfield, who looked out searchingly, first
peering toward the dark caverns which were to
receive for the present the remains of the Pres
ident. Her pale, tearful face was under control
for a moment, and in that moment the soldiers
who had borne the casket from the catafalque
lifte 1 it reverently to the ground in front of the
tomb, to which it was carried over a soft bed of
flowers, crushed under the soldier's noiseless
tread. White-pinks, tulips, lilies of the valley,
and immortelles marked the pathway to the
tomb. Mrs. Garfield sank back in the carriage,
while the aged mother of the President listen
ed and watched intently the services that
followed. Carriages containing the members
of the Cabinet, the pall-bearers, and the inti
mate friends of the dead President were driven
close to the tomb. The pall-bearers were Sec
retary Blaine, and Colonels Rockwell and
Swain. The two oldest sons of the President
stood under the shroud of mourning.
TFE LAST SCENE OF ALL.
A funeral ode was beautifully rendered by
the Gesang Verein, Frohlnn Harmonle,< ana
Orphans Singing Societies of Cleveland. Rev.
J. H. Jones, Chaplain of the 42d Ohio Regi
ment, spoke briefly of his dead friend and com
rade. He was twice overcome bv emotion.
Prayer and benediction were offered by Presi
dent B. A. Hinsdale of Hiram College, The
members of the Cabinet were given an oppor
tunity to visit the tomb before it was closed to
them forever. Secretary Blaine went to Mrs.
Garfield's cariage, but the widow of the Presi
dent did not go to the tomb. Harry Garfield
stood several moments over his father's re
mains. Stooping to take a flower from the
floor of the tomb as he went away. Colonel
Corbin sprang forward to catch the boy, think
ing that lie was falling- The tomb was ciosed
in silence and locked, and many realiued,
they had never before, that time for the Presi
dent had merged in eternity. Four soldiers of
the (<th Ohio Regiment will guard the tempora
ry resting-place of James A. Garfield.
