President Garfield's favorite poet was Tennyson, and the poem he loved best was "In Memoriam." The follow ing familiar stanzas from this poem, which he quoted in an address on the death of Lincoln, and which were more than once applied to himself after his accession to the Presidency, have a new and melancholy interest and sig nificance now. He was, indeed— As some divinely girted man Whose life in low estate be^an, And on a simple village greeu ; Who breaks his birth's invidious bar, And grasps the skirts of happy chance, And breasts the blows of circumstance, And grapples with his evil star; Who makes by force his merit known, And lives to clutch the golden keys, To mould a mighty State's decrees And shape the whisper of the throne. And, moving up from high to higher, Becomes on fortune's crowning slope Tl'.o pillar or a people's hope, The centre of a world's desire, ANECDOTES OF GARFIELD. Pleasing Reminiscences by Represen tative Williams, of Wisconsin. Congressmen Williams was in the city yesterday, and, in answer to ques tions as to his acquaintance with the lamented President, replied: 'Happening to sit within one seat ot him for four years in the House, I, with others, perhaps, had a bettor op portunity to see him In all his moods than those more removed. In action he was a giant; off duty he was a great, noble boy. He never knew what austerity of manner or cermoni ous dignity meant. After some of his greatest efforts in the House, such as .will live in history he would turn to me or any one else aud say : 'Well, old boy, how was that ?' Every man was his confidant and friend so far as the interchange of everv-day good feel ing concerned. He once told me how he prepared his speeches ; that first he filial himself with his subject, massing all the facts and principles involved, so far as he coald ; then he took pen and paper and wrote down the salient points in what he regarded their logi cal order. Then he scanned these crit ically and fixed them in his memory. 'And then.' said he, 'I leave the paper in my room, and trust to the emergen cy.' He told me that when he spoke at the serenade in New York a year ago he was so pressed by callers that the only opportunity he had for prep aration was to lock the door and walk three times around the table when he was called out to the balcony to begin. All the world knows what that speech was. He was wrapped up in his fami ly. His two boys would come up to the House just before adjournment and loiter about his desk with their books in their hands. After the House adjourned other members would go off in cars or carriages, or walk down the avenue in groups. But Garfield, with a boy on each side of him, would walk down Capitol Hill, as we would say jn the country, 'cross-lots,' all three chatting together on equal terms, ne said to me one day duVingthe canvass, while tears came to his eyes: 'I have done no more coming up from poverty than hundreds and thousands of oth ers ; but I am thankful that I hive been able to keep my family by my side and educate my children.' He was a man with whom anybody could differ with impunity. I have said re peatedly that were Garfield alive aud fully recovered, and a dozen of his in timate friends were to go to him and advise that Guiteau be letoff, he would say: 'Yes, let him go.' The man positively knew no malice. And for such a man to be shot and tortured like a dog and by a dog! He was ex tremely sensitive. I have seen him come into the House in the morning when some guerrilla of the press had stabbed him deeper in his feelings than Guiteau's bullet did in the body, and when he looked pallid from suffering and tho evident loss of sleep ; but he would utter no murmur, and in some short time his great exuberance of spirit would surmount it all, and he would be a boy again. He never went to lunch without a troop of friends with him. He loved to talk at the table, and there is no gush in saying be talked like a god, socially and intel lectually. Some of his off-hand expres sions were like a burst of inspiration. Like all truly great men, he did not seem to realize his grestness. And, as I have Baid, he would talk as cor dially and confidentially with a child as with a monarch. Aud I only refer Ito his conversations with me because I you ask me to, and because I think his off-band conversations with any one reveal his real traits best. Com iug on the train from Washington after bis nomination, he said: 'Only think of this, I am yet a young man ; if elect ed and I serve my term I shall still be a young man Then what am I going to do ? There seems to be no place iu America for an ex-President!' And then came in what I thought the ex treme simplicity and real nobility of the man. 'Why,' said he, 'I had no thought of being nominated. I bad bought me some new books and I was getting ready for the Senate.' I laugh ed at the idea of his buying books, like a boy going to college, and remember ed that during his Congressional career, be had furnished material for a few books himself. And then, with that peculiar roll of the body and a slap on shoulder with the left hand which all will recognize, be said: 'Why 1 do you know that up to 185G I never saw a Congressional Qlobe nor knew what one was?' And he then explained how he stumbled on to one in the hands of an opponent in his first public anti-slavery debate. A friend remark ed the other day that Garfield would get as enthusiastic iu digging a six foot ditch with his own hands as when making a speech in Congress Such was my observation. Going down the lane he seemed to forget for the time that there was any Presidential can vass pending. He would refer first to one thing then the other, and always with that off-haud originality which was his great characteristic. Sudden ly picking up a smooth, round pebble be said : 'Look at that! Every stone hcrt) has eigoa vf tii« sea!' Asking why he bought his farm, he said he had been reading about metals, that you could draw them to a certain point a million times and not impair their strength, but if you passed that point once yon conld never get them back. 'So,' said he, 'I bought this farm fo shift the muscles of my mind !' t'ora ing to two small wooden structures in the field, he talked rapidly of how the neighbors guessed he would do in Congress, but would not make much of a fist at farming, and they called my atteution to his corn and buck wheat and other crops, and said that was a marsh, but he underdrained with tile and found spring water flow ing out ot the bluff, and found he could get a five-foot fall, and with pumps of a given dimension a water dam could throw water back eighty rods to his nouse and eighty feet above it. 'But,' said he, in his jocularly im pressive manner, 'I did my surveying before I did my work!' Mr. Williams added had not Garfield expressed a wish to be buried in Cuya hoga cemetery, the place for his body to rest was on that hillside where be did his engineering , in site of the lake and the Lake Shore road, where a monument erected high by the Nation would lie seen by the millions that passed and repassed forever. Mr. Wil liams said in conclusion the roots of Garfield's life ran deep into the hearts of his wife and children, and it was hard to tear them out. That he had great confidence in Arthur's executive ability, and believed be was wholly sincere in all his acts.— Milwaukee Sentinel. A DISCOVERY RIVALING DR. JENNER'S. One of the most important papers read at the meetingofthe International Medical Congress, held in London, was that of M. Pasteur, the distinguish ed biologist, on certain discoveries of his which will enable physicians to convert vaccination from being an iso lated and empiric precaution into a wide system of treatment, applicable to many kinds of fever of both man and animals. His investigations have resulted not alone in preventives for four distinct violent diseases, but in a knowledge of a method of preparing a vaccine for preventing fevers and many—if not all—contagious diseases. M. Pasteur, in his address, as reported in the London Times, gives in detail his discoveries with respect to two dis eases—chicken cholera and splenic fever. It will suffice to trace his meth od of preparing a vaccine to prevent the first. He takes a chicken about to die of the cholera and draws from its veins a small quantity of blood. Un der the microscope this blood is seen to be full of small living creatures, which, for want of a better name, we shall call microbes —the name employ ed by M. Pasteur. A drop of this blood is placed in a close glass vessel containing clear strained, recently boil ed broth, made from chicken or other flesh. Great precaution is taken to ex clude the organic germs floating in the air; in fact the glass neck of the vessel is closed with a plug of cotton, or is drawn out in a lamp flame and hermeti cally sealed. The glass vessel, or flask, is kept at a temperature or about 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Its contents at first become turbid from the growth of the microbes nourished by the broth, but at the end of a couple of days the thickness of the broth disappears be cause the microbes have ceased to de velop and have fallen to the bottom of the Husk, and things will remain in this condition for months without eith er liquid or sediment undergoing any visible change, provided the atmospher ic germs are kept excluded. After an interval of a month the flask is shaken to mingle its conteuts, and a drop from it is placed in a secoud flask, contain ing fresh broth. A crop of microbes is produced as before, followed by the same clearing of the liquid and falling of sediment. The interval of a month's r/aiting is repeated, and a drop from this second flask is employed to pro duce microbes in a third, and so on un til there has been, say, a dozen crops of microbes raised. At the end of the process it will be found that the 'cul tured microbes,' to employ M. Pasteur's language, are innocent, and, when in troduced into the veins of a healthy chicken, tail to produce cholera, as their uncultured ancestors did, yet, at the at the same time, they prevent the cbicken from catching the cholera. In a word, the cultured microbe can be used to vaccinate, and thus protect the farmer's chickens from one of the worst diseases to which fowl flesh is heir. The rationale of the process is that the vigor of the microbes is ex hausted by any considerable perioi of suspended animation, a month or less, and when the process is often repeated the enfeebled microbe loses the viru lence of his progenitors. The microbe which causes splenic fever in sheep, etc., differs from that producing cholera in its mode of growth, but may be 'cultured to a state of innocency by a process similar to the ono just narrated, the strict exclusion of fresh air being in this case indispensable. It is the want of oxygen which seems to occa sion the enfeeblement of the microbe during its recurring periods of suspend ed life. This method of obtaining the vaccine of splenic fever was no sooner made known than it was extensively employed. France loses five million dollars worth of sheep annually from splenic fever. To test his method M. Pasteur had fifty sheep given him for experiment by the government. He vaccinated twenty-five of tbem with his cultured microbes. A fortnight af- terward the whole fifty were inoculat-1 ed with the ordinary uncultured .splen ic microbe. The twenty-five vaccinat ed sheep resisted the infection, the oth er twenty-five died of splenic fever within fifty hours. Since that timo M. Pasteur has vaccinated twenty thous and sheep and large numbers of cattle and horses, and with good results Baltimore Sun. Peruna is in itself a great physician. A small piece of charcoal placed in the pot with boiling cabbage will, it is said, prevent the unpleasant smell from that wholesome vegetable w hen cooking. FARMERS AND FARMING. The following remarks, made by Rev. W. Painter, at a harvest home held at Luper's grove, Crawford coun ty, Pa., Sept. 10th, contain so much truth and good sense as to bo worthy of wide circulation : "I am happy to join with you in the celebration of your harvest home, which is not an institution of modern origin, but was practiced anions the ancient Jews ia their Feast of Taber nacles, the principles of which are ap plied in those times. It is not simply a least, but the rendering of thanks. For this purpose we have met iu this beautiful grove. The business of the farmer is tho oldest in the world, and from the beginning of time the farmer has had much to do in the a [fairs of the world. Upon your success depends all other enterprises. The mechanic at bis bench or the lawyer at his desk watches auxiously when there is ap proaching danger to your interest. Do not think, then, that a failure on your farm is all there is of it, for when you fail we all fail. The farmer has been the pioneer in our country. He came here with his ox team. We are indebt ed to him for what we enjoy to-day. So farming should be placed in the van of useful employments. No muu works so much in accord with God as the far mer. There is a false impression exist ing among farmers in regard to their work. They should think it honorable, kingly. They are more open to moral influeuces than other men. They are more out of temptatiou than their neigh bors in the towns. It the saloons were out of the towns people, perhaps, would be as temperate there as they are in the country. The great temperance movement depends largely upon the farmers for success. You have an hon orable record in the history of our country. Farmers stood in the front rank in the Revolutionary war, in the war with Mexico, and in the spring time they answered the call for troops in the great war of the Rebellion. From the farm have gone forth noble statesmen. Farmers' sons are in the pulpit, and our President, for whom our prayers ascend, left his farm for the presidential chair. In the line of inventions the farmer has reason to be proud. Indeed, complaints among farmers ought to cease. When yoa fail in one part of a season you arc favored in an other. You have even now reason to be thankful. I cannot givo you praise in all things. We often hear tho com plaint that you havo hard work and poor pay, which is not a fair estimate. You have your long winter evenings in which to rest and read. The farm ers' wives have the most to complain of. They have to be baking, churning and watching the children for almost twenty-tour hours iu a day. Our in stitutions of learning should be patron ized more by our farmers' children. Successful farming and books go to gether, and when your children come home from school they will see new beauty in the trees and stones of the fields, and by the new light be enabled to suggest improvement in the farm management. I want to say before I close that the Great Teacher speaks to the farmer. II is illustrations were taken largely from the field. We are sowing 6eed that will grow after we are gone. We are all sowing, and there is a great harvest coming." AS FAR AS THE WAX WOULD 00. Many of the first settlers of Illinois were rude in speech aud rough in man ner. Money was scarce with them, and service was paid for in produce. Governor B used to iHustrate these incidents of frontier life by the following anecdote : One day there caine to his office a young man accompanied by & young woman. 'Be you the squire ?, asked the man ly youth. 'Yes, sir.' 'Can you tie the knot for us right away ?' 'Yes, sir.' 'How much do you charge?' 'One dollar is the legal fee, sir.' 'Will you take your fee in beeswax?' 'Yes, if you can't pay cssh.' 'Well, go ahead and tie the knot, aud I'll fetch in the wax.' 'No,' said the Squire, thinking there was a good chance for a little fun; 'bring iu the beeswax first, and then I'll marry you.' Reluctantly the youth went out to where was hitched the horse, upon which, Darby and Joan fashion, they had ridden, and brought the wax in a sack. On being weighed, its value was found to be only sixty cents. 'Well,' said the anxious groom, 'tie the knot, and I'll letch more wax next week.' 'No, sir, I don't trust; that is against the rules of this office.' Slowly the disappointed youth turn ed to go out, sayinij, 'Come, Sail, let's go.' 'I say, mister,' answered Sail, with a woman's wit, 'can't you marry us as far as the wax will go ?' 'Yes, I can, and I will,' replied the Squire laughing, and he did "A WORD TO TUE WISE IS SUFFI CIENT."—An effective and agreeable remedy for the treatment of Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness is Ely's Cream Balm.

NO. 46 A PA TIIETIC REMINISCENCE The britf speech addressed by Gen. Garfield to h s college classmates on the eve of bis inauguration takes upon itself under the shadow of this day something std and almost fateful in tone. The meeting was held at Worm ley's on March 3, and the President elect made this address to his friends after dinner : "CLASSMATES :-To me there is some thing exceedingly pathetic in this re union. In every eye befjre me I see the light of friendship and love, aad I am sure it is reflected back to you from my inmost heart For twenty-two years, with the exception of the last few days, I have been in the public service. To-night lam a private citi zen. To-morrow I shall be called to assume new responsibilities, and on the day after the broadside of the world's wrath will strike. It will strike hard. I know it, and you will know it. Whatever may happen to me in the future, I shall feel that I can always fall back upon the shoulders and hearts of the class of '56 f or their approval of that which is right, and for their charitable judgment wherein I may come short in the discharge of my public duties. You may write down in your books now the largest percent age of blunders which you think I will be likely to make, and you will be sure to find iu the end that I have made more than you have calculated—many more. "This honor comes to me unsought. I have never had the Presidential fever —not even for a day ; nor have lit to night I have no feeling of elation iu view of the position I am called upon to fill. I would thank God were I to day a free lance in the' House or the Senate. But it is not to be, and I will go forward to meet the responsibilities and discbarge the duties that are before me with all the firmness and ability I can command. I hope you will be able conscientiously to approve my con duct, and when I return to private life I wish you to give me another class meeting. HABITUAL PROFANITY. One cannot walk the streets or travel in the cars, or stop at public places, and not be sadly touched by the amount of profanity he hoars. Boys hardly old enongh to talk plainly ; young men just stepping over the threshold of active life ; gray-haired men bending over the grave, are all in fetters to this degrad ing habit. It matters little what the place or occasion, your cars are filled with profanity. We can understand how under extreme provocation a man might give utterance to an oath. We un derstand, if we do not sympathize with a passionate man, beset with little dif ficulties, when he snaps out a too ener getic word. But for a man*in com mon, every day conversation, to calm ly, even stupidly mix in a dozen or more profaue expressions, there is no excuse ; aud yet it is the result of a habit that has grown upon the Ameri can people and deserves censure. No boy utters his first oath without something of a shudder. No man with any regard for the proprieties of society ever swears in the presence of ladies. It is more a matter of habit than any vice to which the people are addicted. Now, if those who have this wretched habit will break it, if only for a few days, and listen to others, they will see how senseless, how unmanly it is, and how little necessity there is for it. It is the most gratuitous and uncom pensating of all sins. It neither gives force to remark, dignity to speech, nor imprcssiveness to thought. And it is a habit as easily broken as formed. A VERY SHARP WITNESS. A late number of the New York Herald, gives the following incident which occurred in the Tombs Police Court, a few days ago, when a witness went to testify to the character of his countryman, Patrick McGrath, who was charged with assault and battery. The witness was too garrulous and went too deeply into the genealogy of the McUraths to suit the complainant's counsel. Twice he tried to arrest the torrent of encomiums, and failing in it he lost his temper and saM : 'Did you ever talk a man to death, sir ?' 'No; did ye iver do it yourself?' ask ed the witness quite as tartly. 'Yes,' said the counsel, with an ab sent air, but watching his opportunity for a thrust. 'Yes, a couple hundred of them.' 'ls that all ?' quoth the witness, sharply. 'Thin ye haven't bate the record vit.' 'Haven't beat the record! Whose record !' 'Samson's,' returned the witness sharply. 'lie slew three hundred Phil istines with the instrument ye use yer self.' The subsequent queries put to that witness were remarkable for their brev ity. [Rockford (111.) Rej?i«tcr.] Fall AgainM a Sliarp Edge. This is furnished by Mr. Wm. Will, 1613 Frankford Ave., Philadelphia, Pa: Some time since I received a se vere iujury to my back, by falling against the sharp edge of a marble step, the stone penetrating it at least a half-inch, and leaving a very painful wound. After suffering for a time, I concluded to apply St. Jacobs Oil, and am pleased to say, that the results ex ceeded my expectations. It speedily allayed all pain and swelling and by continued use, made a perfect cure. I really think it the most efficacious lini ment I ever used. —Women that have been bedridden for years have been entirely cured of female weakness by the use of Lydia E.
