IN ME MORI AM.
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

he bought his farm, he said he had
been reading about metals, that you

million times and not impair their
strength, but if you passed that point

'So,' said he, 'I bought this farm fo

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

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

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

Peruna is in itself a great physician.

the pot with boiling cabbage will, it is

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 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.

This is furnished by Mr. Wm. Will,

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
