T)r. Hamilton tells the following story :
On Snturday.when every one had almost
entirely abandoned hope, the President
got off his little joke. During the late
election, when Florida was in doubt, Gen
eral Swaim was continually in the habit
of saying to him, "General, you don't in
| tend to give up Florida, do you?" until
lit passed int a byword. Well, on Sat
j urday General Garfield saw that the phv
j sicians had about abandoned hope, and
turning to General Swaim, who was pres
ent, he said, "General you don't intend
to give up Florida, do you?" The face
j at the same time was illuminated with a
j smile. The jcnce was so patent and turu
■ ed so neatly on Genetal Swaim that all
j laughed, and even Mrs. Garfield, whose
eyes were suffused with J.ears, could not i
help indulging in a smile.
If penny subscriptions are to be the or
der of the day to make up handsome funds
for meritorous people, there should be a
right good one for Kate Shelly of lioone, !
lowa, whose health has been shattered
by exposure while saving a passenger
train from being destroyed during a storm
on the night of July 6th. Slapping an
impertinent fellow's face for making an
unpatriotic remark may he well enough in
its way, but risking one's life to save the ,
lives of people in imminent danger is a j
sort of service that will wear better in I
the long run and should be better paid.
Schuylkill county is suffering terribly
from the drought. Mahanoy Plane is,
without doubt, the greatest sufferer in
the county for the want of water. Par
ties supplying the people from Frackville
charge twenty-five cents per barrel. A
number of collieries in and around Shen
andoah have suspended work for want of
water. The people of that place have
been put on half rations for two weeks
past.
Governor of Michigan left a
clause in his will which reads: "My
.children one and all shall be educated in
this country and not abroad, as it is my
sincere desire that they may grow up to
: be sincere Americans and lovers of their
native land and her institutions." It is a
good precedent and sentiment to a multi
tude of rich Americans. Young people
educated in foreign universities too often
loose their love and reverence for Ameri
can institutions.
The Attorney General who was appre
hensive of the fluctuations of the Presi
dent's pulse the other day, had his fears
quieted by a simple experiment made by
the attending physicians, lie was shown
that his own pulse which was 86 when he
was sitting down, was increased to 100
by walking three times across the room.
Secretary Blaine is visited by so many
dealers in nostrums, which they claim
will benefit the President, that it has be
come necessary to station policemeu in
citizens clothes near bis house, to relieve
hi in from the annoyance.
Senator Sessions who figured conspic
uously as a bribe-taker at Albany last
session was defeated in his candidacy for
renomiuation on Saturday last, lie was
a Half breed.
The Rev. T. Hewitt Talmage preached
a sermon on Sunday morning, taking as
his subject the condition of the President.
The discourse was one of the ablest ever
delivered. Mr. Talinage's remarks were
frequently interrupted by applause, while
his pathetic allusions to the wife, chil
dren and mo her of the President
caused tears to flow from many eyes,even
strong men bowing their heads and weep
ing. "VVe stand under a great sorrow,
Oh, Lord," said the pastor in his opening
prayer. "Our chief magistrate is lying
low. Divine physician put thy hand up
on his wounds. Wc feel as if we cannot
give him up. Give us ihe faith of mira
cles. Give more than human skill to the
medical attendants. Sooth his pains.
Restore his health. Let it not be told
that the hand of the assassin was suc
cessful. We ask in behalf of the aged
mother, the stricken wife and the weep
ing children. Father, if it be possible
let this cup of sorrow pass from us, but
If it be best for him to go, give him an
easy exit to the land where there is no
death." In bis final prayer he said:
"Hear his aged mother's prayer, bis
wife's prayer and that of his children and
of the nation. Thou canst do it, yet we
say, Thy will lie done. Lord heal him;
we ask it in the name of the assassinated
Christ." The text of the pastor's sermon
was, "Comfort ye, comfort ye, my peo
ple, saith your God."—lsaiah 40—1.
