GARFIGLU LUVOLIV.
Speech oh the AmlTerry
the AnaflBatteB.
of
Ou the uigbt of the 14th of April,
1SC5, J. Wilkes Booth, creeping from
behiud President Lincoln, discharg
ed a pistol-ball into his brain. A
year afterwards, on the anniversary
of that tragic event, immediately
after the house of representatives
was opened by prayer, Gen, Garfield
"moved that the house do now ad
journ." The words of eloquence in
which he urged the motion will
long bo remembered by his coun
trymen. He faaid :
This day, Mr. Speaker, will be
sadly memorable so long as this na
tion shall endure, which God grant
may bo "till the last syllable of re
corded time," when the volume of
human history shall be sealed up
and delivered to the omnipotent
judge.
In all future time, on the recur
rence of this day, I doubt not that
the citizens of this republic will
meet in solemn assembly to reflect
on tho life aud character of Abraham
Lincoln, and the awful tragic-event
of April 14, 18C5, an event unpar
alleled in the history of nations,
certainly unparalleled in our own.
It is eminently proper that this
Iioubo should this day place upon its
records a memorial of that event.
Tho last five years have been
marked by wonderful developments
of individual character. Thousands
of our people before unknown to
fame have taken their places in his
tory,crowned with immortal honors.
In thousands of humble homes are
dwelling heroes and patriots whose
names shall never die.
But greatest among all these great
developments were the character
and fame of Abraham Lincoln, whose
loss the nation still deplores. His
character is aptly described in the
words of England's great laureate
written some thirty years ago in
which he traces the upward steps of
some
"Divinely gifted man,
"Whose life in low estate began,
And on a. simple village green:
"Who breaks his birth's Invidious bar,
Aud grasps the skirts of happy chance,
And breasts the blow of circumstance,
And grapples with his evil star;
"Who makes by force his merit known.
And lives to clutch the golden keys,
To mold a mighty state's decrees,
Aud shape the whisper or the throne;
"And niovin
g up from high to higher,
Fortune's crowning- slonu
Becomes ou
i iic piuar oi a people's nope,
The centre of a world's desire."
Such a life and character will be
treasured forover as the sacred pos
session of tho American people and
of mankind. In the great drama of
the rebellion there were two acts.
The first was the war, with its bat
tles and sieges, victories and de
feats, its sufferings and tears.
That act was closing one year ago
to-night, and just as the curtain was
lifting on tho second and final act
the restoration of peace and liberty ;
just as the curtain was rising. upon
new characters aud new events, the
ovil spirit of the rebellion, in the
fury of despair, nerved and" directed
tho baud of tho assassin to strike
down the chief character in both.
It was no one man who killed
Abraham Lincoln; it was the em
bodied spirit of treason and slavery,
inspired with fearful and despairing
hate, that struck him down in the
moment of the nation's anpremest
joy.
Ah I sir, there are times in the
history of men aud nations when
they stand so near the veil that sep
arate mortals from the immortals,
time from eternity, and men from
their God, that they can almost hear
rui. .
'the beatings and fuel the pulsations
of the heart of the Infinite. Thro'
euch a time has this nation passed.
When 250,000 brave spirits passed
from the field of honor through that
thin veil to the presence of God, and
when at last its parting folds ad
mitted the martyr president to the
company of the dead heroes of the
republic, tho nation stood so near
the veil that the whispers of God
were heard by the children of men.
Awe-stricken by His voice, the
American people knelt in tearful
reverence and made a solemn cove
nant with Him and with each other
that this nation should be saved
from its enemies, that all its glories
should be restored, and on the ruins
of slavery and treason the temples
of freedom should be built and
should survive forever. It remains
for us, consecrated by that great
event, and under a covenant with
God, to keep that faith, to go for
ward in the great work until it shall
be completed.
Following the lead of that great
man and obeying the behests of God,
let us remember that
"He has sounded forth a trumpet that
shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men be
fore Bis judgment seat,
Be swift, my soul, to answer him; be
jubilant my feet;
For God is marching on."
The Idleaeaw of Girls.
Another great mistake that many
tef our girls are making, and that
tkeir mothers are either encouraging
er allowing them to make, is that of
spending their time out of school in
idleness, or in frivolous amuse
ments, doing no work to speak of,
and learning nothing about the
practical duties and the serious cares
of life. It is not only in the wealth
ier families that the girls are grow
ing up indolent and unpracticed in
household work; indeed, I think
that more attention is paid to the
industrial training of girls in the
wealthiest families thau iu the fam
ilies of mcchauics and of people in
moderate circumstances, whero the
mothers are compelled to work
hard all the while. "Within the
last week," says one of my corres
pondents, "I have heard two moth
ers, worthy women in most pros
pects, say, the first, that her daugh
ter never did any sweeping. Why,
if she wants to say to her compan
ions, 'I never swept a room in my
life,' and takes any comfort in say
ing it, let her say it ; and yet that
mother is sorrowing much over the
shortcomings of that very daughter.
The other said she would not let
her daughter do anything in the
kitchen. Poor, deluded womau!
She did it all herself instead !" -The
habits of indolence and helplessness
that are thus formed are not the
greatest evils resulting from this
bad practice; the selfishness that it
fosters is the worst thing about it.
How devoid of conscience, how
lacking in all true sense of tender
ness, or even justice, a girl must be
who will thus consent to devote all
her time out of school to pleasuring,
while her mother is bearing all the
heavy burdens of the household!
And the foolish way in which
mothers themselves sometimes talk
about this, even in tho presence of
their children, is mischievous in the
extreme. "Oh, Hattic is so ab
sorbed with her books, or her cray
ons, or her embroidery, that she
takes no interest in household mat
ters, and I do not like to call on
her," as if the daughter belonged to
a superior order of beings, and
must not soil her hands or ruffle her
temper with housework. The
mother is the drudge, the daughter
is the fine lady for whom she toils.
No mother who suffers such a state
of things as this can preserve the
respect of her daughter, and the
respect of her daughter no mother
can afford to lose. The result of all
this is to form in the minds of many
gfrls not only a distaste for labor,
but a contempt for it, and a purpose
to avoid it as long as they live by
some means or other. There is
scarcely ono of these letters which
does not mention this as one of tho
chief errors in the training of our
girls at the present day. It is not
uuiversal, but it is altogether pre
valent. And I want to say to you,
girls, that if.you are allowing your
selves to grow up with such habits
of indolence and such notious about
work, you are preparing for j'our-
selves a miserable future.
WoHderrul Wyoming-.
Bill Nye, writing to the Salt Lake
Tribune, under date of June 10, says :
It has snowed a good deal during
the week aud it is discouraging the
planters of cotton and tobacco very
much. I am positive that a much
smaller area of both these staples
will be planted in Wyoming this
year than ever before. Unless the
yield this fall of moss agates and
prickly pears should be unusually
large, the agricultural exports will
be very far below preceding years
aud there may be actual suffering.
I do not wish to discourage those
who might wish to come to this
place for the purpose of engaging in
agriculture, but frankly I will state
that it has its drawbacks.
In the first place the soil is quite
coarse and the agriculturist before
he can ever begin with any prospect
of success, he must run bis farm
through a stamp mill in order to
make it sufficiently mellow. This,
as the reader will see, involves a
large expense at the very outset.
Hauling the farm to a custom mill
would require a large outlay for
teams aud would delay the farmer
two or three hundred years in get
ting his crops in, thus giving the
agriculturist who has a pulverized
farm in Nebraska, Colorado or'Utah
a great advantage over his own
which has not yet been to the re
duction works.
We have, it is true, a large area of
farming lands now lying on the
dump, but they must first be crushed
and then treated for alkali, in which
mineral our Wyoming farms are
very rich.
Then again, the climate is erratic,
eccentric and peculiar. The altitude
is between 7,000 aud 8,000 feet above
high water mark, so that during the
winter it does not snow much, we
being above snow line, but in the
summer the snow clonds rise abovo
us and thus the surprised and indig
nant agriculturist is caught in the
middle of a July day with a terrific
fall of snow, so that he is virtually
compelled to wear his snow shoes
all through his haying season.
This is annoying and fatiguing.
The snow shoes tread down the
grass ahead of him and make bis
progress laborious, besides, he tan
gles bis feet up in the winrowB and
falls on his noBe nine times out of a
possible ten.
Again the early frosts make close
connections with the late spring
blizzards, so that there is only time
for a hurried lunch between.
Aside from these little drawbacks
and the fact that nothing grows
without irrigation except white oak
clothes pins and promissory notes
drawing two per cent, interest, the
prospect for the agriculture future
of Wyoming is indeed gratifyiug in
the extreme.
Twenty years ago tho republicans
nominated "Old Abe" at Ch'icago.
In 18SO they nominate Garfield,
whose middle name is Abraham.
"Young XbV'wiirdo?
A Mother' Eove.
Just before the circus opened yes
terday afternoon a woman, accom
panied by her son, a boy about six
teen years of age, appeared ou tho
grounds and was the first at the
ticket wagon. When the window
was opened the mother said to the
ticket-seller:
"If you will be so kind as to let a
poor-widow woman's Johnny into
the circus he will carry water to the
elephant."
"Stand back, madam, stand back !"
be cried as he took the half-dollars
over her head.
She took her boy by tho hand and
marched to the entrance of the big
tent, explaining to the man at the
door:
"My Johnny is going to carry hay
to the camels."
"You aud your Johnny carry
yourselves right out of this I" was
the very emphatic reply.
"Couldn't we both go in for ten
cents if we set on the ground?"
"No, ma'am 1 Stand back, now;
you are in the way I"
They fell back for a consultation.
The boy had tears in his eyes and
the mother looked determined.
"Don't cry, Johnny dear your
mother loves you and will cot you
in," she consolingly remarked, as
she led him again to the ticket
wagon. Crowding and pushing her
way in, she called out :
"This boy's father was a preacher,
and you ought to let him in free."
"Stand back, madam, stand back !"
was the auswer she got.
"Can't you let us iu for ten cents ?"
"No! no!"
She drew the boy out of the
crowd and took a walk around the
tent. There was a spot where the
canvass was raised a little, and as
she halted there she said :
"Johnny, a mother's love can Bur
mount every obstacle. I'll stand
here and you crawl under the tent."
She spread her skirts as far as
possible and the boy made a dive
and disappeared. In about ten
seconds he reappeared in the shape
of a ball and he didn't stop rolling
until he had gone t flirty feel. Tho
mother straightened him out, lifted
him up and inquired what had hap
pened.
"I-I-don't exactly know," repli
ed the boy ashe looked back at tho
tent, "but I guess I don't care for
any more mother's love I'll take
pink lemonade in place of it!"

"Great Majority Ciurlield."
Tho personal qualities of Gen.
Garfield, as shown through all the
struggles aud excitements of the
convention, made him the candidate
at last. Hearty and genial in treat
ment of all who come to him with
fair cause or honest purpose, he is
inflexible in his convictions, a
staunch friend and a splendid fight
er. As tho leader of the Sherman
forces he did his full share in defeat
ing the unit rule and the third term,
and represented better than any
other man on the floor the 6pirit of
the anti-Grant majority. But from
the opening of the convention to
the end he did not a thing and ut
tered not a word to increase the
bitterness of personal feeling, or to
place a straw in the way of tho elec
tion of any candidate whom the
convention might finally nominate.
The rare good sense and gentleman
ly courtesy of his speech in behalf
of Mr. Sbermau, and especially its
earnest advice that nothing should
be done to impede the electiou of
the candidate to be nominated, im
pressed the convention strongly, be
causo they revealed to it a man of
unusual worth aud merit. When
all others had hesitated he had been
the man to protest against the at
tempted expulsion of three delegates
from West Virginia, and by that
step had shown both his wiedom aud
his courage. When the anti-Grant
forces found that combination upon
either of their former candidates
was impossible, it was most natural
that they should turn to the delegate
who had shown himself their own
ablest leader and wisest adviser.
The qualities which made him strong
in tho conventiou, as they become
appreciated throughout the country,
will make him strong to unite the
republican party and to defeat de
mocracy once more. 2T.Y. Tribune.
They Met and Parted,
"Now then," says tramp No. 1 to
No. 2 as they turned into Montcalm
street from Woodward avenue the
other day, "here is the game, you
walk down the street and ring the
the bell of some house, when the
lady answers you tell her that you
haven't had anything to eat for
three days. If she says she don't
care tell her that you are desperate
and ready to commit any crime. If
she starts to slam the door on you
hold it open with your foot and roll
your eyes and look savage. I'll ar
rive just about then, and I'll take
you by the neck, slam you around
and pitch you out of the yard. I'm
the lady's protector and the hero of
the hour, you Bee. I'll bo very
modest and claw off, but I'll tell her
I'm a stranger and need a quarter to
buy food. She'll hand it over, and
I'll join you around the corner and
divide. See!"
"Magnificent!" replied No. 2.
"You ought to be in the United
States Senate I Well, here I go."
He passed down the street and
selected a house, and the programme
was carefullv followed out until he
reached the'point where he said he
was desperate. At that iustant tho
hall door was pulled wide open, and
a six-foot husbaud shot out with his
right hand and knocked No. 2 clear
off the lower stop. No. 1 was just
rushing in, and six-footer thought
he might as well kill two birds with
one stone, so he gave him one on
the jaw, and when tired of walking
around ou their prostrate bodies he
flung them over the fence. The
tramps limped down to the corner,
looked at each other in deep disgust
and then separated forever. Detroit

A Hint to Youug Husbands.
Love and appreciation are to a
woman what dew aud suushiue are
to a flower. They refresh and
brighten her whole life. They make
her strong-hearted and keensighted
iu everything aflectiug the welfare
of her home. They enable her to
cheer her husband whou the cares
of life press heavily upon him, and
to be a very providence to her chil
ren. To know that her husband
loves her, aud is proud of her, that
eveu her faults are looked upon
with tenderness ; that her face, to
one at least, is the fairest,
face in all thg world ; that the
heart which to her is the greatest
and noblest, holds her sacred in its
utmost recessos above all other wo
men, gives strength, and courage,
and sweetness, and vivacity which
all the wealth of tho world could
not bestow. Let woman's life bo
pervaded with such an influence,
and her heart and mind will blossom
and sweeten, and brighten iu per
petual youth.
Mutton the Meat for Fanners.
The cheapest meat for the farmer
is mutton. It may safely be said to
cost nothing, as the fleece from a
sheep of good breed will amply pay
for its keeping. Then, for additional
profit, there is a lamb or two, the
tho pelt of the animal if killed at
home, the excellent manure froraits
droppings, and the riddance of the
pastures from weeds, to which sheep
are destructive foes. With tho ex
ception of poultry, mutton is also
tho most convenient meat for the
farmer. A sheop is easily killed
aud dressed by a single hand in au
hour, aud in tho warmest weathor
it can be readily disposed of before
it spoils. Science and experience
both declare it the healthiest kind
of meat, aud a foolish prejudice
alone prefers pork, which, whether
fresh or salt,is the unhealthiest of all.

Heading for children should be
selected mainly with a view to In
terest and at the same time instruct
and improve their mituR Many
children are allowed to select their
own books for reading without dir
ection from anyone. In such cases
story books of various kinds are
generally chosen many of them or
the wildest, most extravagant and
sensational sort. Interest in the
narrative absorbs all theattention of
the child and he hurries over it in
headlong haste, to arrive at the con
clusion. Such reading favors the
formatiou of habits of carelessness,
haste, inaccuracy, and weakens aud
enfeebles the mind, besides implant
ing a morbid taste for sensational
reading aud a distaste for instruct

Gossip is always a personal con
fession either of malice or imbecili
ty, and the young should not only
shun it, but by the most thorough
culture relieve themselves from all
temptations to indulge iu it. It is
low, frivolous and too often a really
dirty business. There are country
neighborhoods in which it rages
like a pest. Churches are split into
pieces by it ; neighbors made Jene
mies by it for life. In many persons
it degenerates into a chronic disease,
which i practically iucurable. Let
the young cure it while they may.

Two brief articles have been pre
pared and published, aud left stand
ing in the Journal, relative to
Nebraska, its advantages and pro
ducts. One more short article must
close the series for this season.
To persons who never saw a prai
rie country, to look over it is rather
an interesting sight; as a general
thing the absence of timber gives to
it tho appearance of waste and bar
renness to thoso who are accustomed
to live in a timbered country. Tim
ber of every kind common to this
latitude can he cultivated ou the
prairies of Nebraska. Near the wa
ter courses and river bluffs a large
quantity of trees are generally found
growing iu great luxuriance.
Among the varieties found in such
localities are cottonwood, box-elder,
buckeye, maple, locust, -ash, hickory,
oak, willow, poplar, sycamore, wal
nut, pine aud cedar. The shrubs
include common juniper, pawpaw,
prickly ash, sumacs, red root, spin
dle tree, plum, currants aud goose
berries, dogwood, butter bush, buffa
lo berry, mulberry and hazleiiut.
Cedars are found ou the islands of
the Platte, and along the Loup, aud
on the Niobrara there is a large
quantity of pine.
But the interesting point we want
to make is the fact that all this
Variety of trees will grow and flour
ish on tho prairie, and that as much
timber as may be needed by each
farmer can be raised on his farm.
It is not a little surprising to kuow
that the early travelers, and, among
others, Gen. Fremont, should have
formed the opinion that the prairies
of Nebraska were a sandy desert,
united for farming purposes, when
m these times it has been examined
by competent judges and pronouue
ed without any hesitation to be a
region which is to be the great grain
and stock - producing area of the
continent. Men don't make bread
of sand, and they don't, as a general
thing, settle in such localities. The
United States cover 23 degrees of
latitude; away to the frozen north,
and down to the semi-tropic south.
With all this choice, from the be
ginning of western settlement tho
great current of movement has been
within a central belt fivo or six dc;
grcos in width, and nearly corres
ponding with tho latitudinal length
of Illinois, which lies between oC
degrees, 50 minutes and 421C degrees.
This is the belt iu the Uuitcd States
iu which industry obtains the most
certain and highest rewards. It is
temperate in cliinato aud a man
can work up to his best notch. The
land is fruitful, and bears in great
abundance those products which arc
necessaries of life, and which there
fore have a steady commercial value.
The population of Nebraska in the
beginning of 1850 was 10,710, and at
the close of 1875, 259,912, which was
a twenty-livo-fold increase in twen
ty years.
Corn in Nebraska is most bounti
ful iu production ; with fair cultiva
tion the yield is from 50 to 00 bush
els per acre. Wheat from 15 to 25
bushels per acre. Barley from 30 to
40 bushels. Rye 25 to 30 bushels.
Oats 40 to 50 bushels. A country
which is adapted to the raising of
corn; small grains; good for grass
and hay, and has at all times a fa
vorable blimate, must bo a good
location for stock-raising. Live
stock is in great demand the civilized
over, and it is in live stock the far
mer finds a great deal of his wealth.
It has been demonstrated among
the Nebraska farmers that mixed
farming is the most profitable, there
fore every farmer should combine
grain and stock raising. In fact
every farmer that has carried cattle
upon his farm and handled them
with judgment for any length of
time is now enjoying the rich profits
of his investment aud labor. Look
arouud among your neighbors and
in every case where money has been
invested in stock and handled with
care it has brought tho largest in
crease in dollars and cents to those
who havo invested. And there is
room in Nebraska for hundreds of
thousands more farmers.
