Eloquence
Tho following reminiscence of
General Garfield's power during the
greatest crisis the country haB ever
passed through has been furnished
us by a distinguished gentleman who
was present, and shows the intel
lectual and moral power of the Re
publican nominee for the Presidency
over a surging and maddened crowd.
"I shall never forget the first time I
saw General Garfield. It was the
morning after President Lincoln's
assassination. The country waB ex
cited to its utmost tonBion, and New
York city seemed ready for the
scenes of the French revolution.
Tho intelligence of Lincoln's mur
der had been flashed by the wires
over the wholo land. The newspa
per headlines of the transaction were
set up in the largest type, and the
high crime was on every one's
tonguo. Fear took possession of
men's minds as to the fate of the
government, for in a few hours the
news came that Seward's throat whs
cut, and that attempts had been
made upon the lives of others of the
government officers. Posters wore
Btuck up everywhere, in great black
letters, calling upon the loyal citi
zens of New York, Brooklyn, Jersey
City, and neighboring places to meet
around tho Wall Street Exchange
and give expression to their sonti
nients. It was a dark and terrible
hour. "What might come next, no
one could tell, and men spoke with
bated breath. The wrath of the
workingmen was Biraply uncontrol
lable, and revolvers and knives were
in the hands of thousands of Lin
coln's friends, at tho first opportuni
ty, to take the law into their own
hands, and avcuge the martyred
President, upon any and all who
uttered a word againat him. Eleven
o'clock a. m. waB the hour set for
tho rendezvous. Fifty thousand pco-
plo crowded around the exchange
building cramming and jamming
the streets, and wedged in tight, as
men conld stand together. With a
few to whom a special favor was
extended, I wont over from Brook
lyn, at 9 a. m., and, then, with the
utmost difficulty, found way to the
reception room for tho speakers in
tho front of the exchange building,
and looking out onto the high and
massive balcony, whose front was
protected by n heavy Iron railing.
Wo eat in solemnity and silence,
waiting for General Butler, who it
was announced, had started from
Washington and was either already
in the city or expected every mo
ment. Nearly a hundred generals,
judges, statesmen, lawyers, editors,
clergymen, and others, were in that
room waiting Butler's arrival. We
stepped out to tho balcony to watch
the tearfully solemn and swaying
mass of people. Not a hurrah was
heard, but for the most part dead
silence, or a deep, ominous mutter
ing ran liko a rising wavo up tho
stroot toward Broadway, and again
down toward the right At length
the batpns of the police were seen
swinging in the air far up on the
left, parting the crowd and pressing
it back to make way for a carriage
that moved slowly, and with difficult
jogs, through the compact multitude.
Suddenly the silence waB broken,
and the cry of 'Butler!' 'Butler!'
'Butler!' rang out with tremendous
and thrilling effect, and was taken
up by the people. Butnot a hurrah!
not once! It was the cry of a great
people asking to know how their
President died. The blood bounced
in their veins, and the tears ran like
streams down our faces. How it
was done I forget, but Butler was
pulled through, and pulled up, and
entered the room, where we had just
walked back to meet him. A broad
crape a yard long hung from his
left arm terrible contrast with the
countless flags that were waving the
nation's victory in the breeze. We
first realized then the truth of the
sad news that Lincoln was dead.
When Butler entered tho room we
shook hands. Some spoke, some
couldn't. All were in tears. The
only word Bntler had for us all, at
the first break of the 6ilence was
"Gentlemen he died in the fullness of
his famel" and a he spoko hie HpB
quivered, and the tears ran fast
down his cheeks. Then, after a few
moments, came the speaking. And
you can imagine the effect, as the
crape fluttered in the wind, while
hiB arm was uplifted. Dickenson, of
New York State was fairly wild.
The old man leaped over the iron
railing of the balustrade and stood
on the very edge, overhanging the
crowd, gesticulating in the most
vehement manner, and next thing to
bidding the crowd "burn up the
rebel seed, root and branch," while
a bystander helcLon to his coat-tails
to keep him from falling over. By
thiB time the wavo of popular indig
nation had swelled to its crest. Two
men lay bleeding on one of the side
streets, tho one dead the other next
to dying ; one on the pavement, the
other in tho gutter. They had said
a moment before that "Lincoln
ought to have been shot long ago!'
Thoy were not allowed to say it
again! Soon two long pieces of
scantling stood out above the heads
of the crowd, crossed at the top like
the letter X and a looped halter
pendent from the junction, a dozen
men following its alow motion
through the masses, 'Yenfeancel'
was the cry.
"On the right, suddenly, the shout
rose, 'The World J' 7'- World!'
The office of lTkc World." 'World!'
World." and a movement of perhaps
8,000 to 10,000 turning their faces in
the direction of that buildiug began
to be executed. Jt was a critical
moment. What might come no one
could tell, did that crowd get in
front of that office. Police and mil
itary would have availed little or
been too late. A telegram had just
been read from Washington, 'Sew
ard is doing.' Just then, at that
juncture, a man stepped forward
with a small flag in his hand, and
beckoned to the crowd. 'Another
telegram from Washington!' And
then, in the awful stillness of the
crisis, taking advantage of tho hesi
tation of the crowd, whoso steps had
been arrested a moment, a right arm
was lifted skyward, and a voice,
clear and 6teady, loud and distinct,
spoke out: 'Fellow citizens ! Clouds
and darkness, are round about Him !
HiB pavilion is dark waters and
thick clouds of the skies! Justice
and judgment are the establishment
of his throne! Mercy and truth
shall go before His throno! Fellow
citizens I God reigns, and the gov
ernment at Washington still lives!
Tho crowd stood riveted to the
ground in awe, gazing at tho motion
less orator, and thinking of God and
the security of tho government in
that hour. As the boiling wave
subsides and settlos to the sea when
some strong wind beats it down, so
the turanlt of the people saHk and
became still. All took it as a divine
omen. It was a triumph of elo
quence, inspired by the momeut,
6Uch as falls to but one man's lot,
and that but once a century. The
genius of Webster, Choatc, Everett,
Seward, never reached it. Demos
thenes never equalled it. What
might have happened had tho surg
ing and maddened mob been let
loose, none can tell. Tho man for
tho crisis was on tho spot, more
potent than Napoleon's guns at
Paris. I inquired what was his
name. The answer came in a low
whisper. 'It is General Garfield, of
Ohio I' "Cincinnati Gazette.

French industry and sagacity take
tho lead of the world in little
things, if nothing moro. Toad cul
turo is a regular business there with
the economic people, ami tho de
mand in toads is great and increas
ing. The useful little animals arc
employed as insect destroyers, not
only in the gardens of that country
but thousands of them are packed
down in baskets of damp moss and
sent to the other countries to bo
sold to gardnors. The more ob
serving horticulturists and floricul
turists have long been aware of their
value as insect destroyers, and haTC
utilized them to a greater or less ex
tent. And it is not much to the
credit of American gardners and
farmers that they have never recog
nized the services of this helpful
and innocent reptile. Nature con
ducts her operations by reciprocal
means, and if sho gives us the hurt
ful insects to eat up our crops, she
also gives us the birds, toads, etc.,
to eat up tho insects. The farmer
should keep a closo eye to nature,
and seek to mako her manifold op
erations helpful, instead of casting
hindrance in the way by destroying
her agents. The successful farmer
has great need to bo a good econo
mic naturalist. Many things, as
loathsome looking as a toad, arc tho
farmer's friend.
The testimony against tho liquor
traffic as a factor of crime is cumu
lative. A recent grand jury in
Philadelphia presented a report in
which they say that "a careful
analysis of the record of the mouth's
crime, as presented to us, shows the
alarming prevalence of intoxication
as the basis of 60 por cent of all the
crime committed." It is suggested
that "some effectual method be de
vised by tho proper authorities to
limit the sale of inflammable poison"
which creates "and keeps alivo a
passion for brutality and crime."
This, it will be remembered, is the
testimony, not of "temperance fan
atics," but of an official grand jury
drawn from the citizens at large. It
should be both heard and heeded.

It had taken him some little time
to bring his tongue in accord with
his mind, but he finally stammered
out: "Will you will yon wander
down life's path, your hand in mine,
while tho goddess of lovo sings
siren songs to us? Oh, will you be
my own, my angel?" "See here. If
you want me to marry you, to make

nice ; to cook you reli?hable meals ;
to preside at your table and at the

bright and smart; and to help you
make tho most of yourself in this
world, I'll jine hands with you."
"That's just the practical sort of an
angel I thought you wa6. Jine." A
good start.

The Possibility of Death.
The following is extracted from a
receut sermon on "Happiness and
Problems," by Professor Swing, of
Chicago :
It is perfectly possible for you
and me to die next month, or next
year. It is a problem whether you
will be anywhere in the streets of
earth a year or five years hence.
We need not pause over the state
ment of this impressive uncertainty.
We need not awaken our sleeping
sorrows by recalling the multitude
of those who have gone from us of
late days gone in their youth or
middle life gone when they fully
exnected to stay. You all know"
the height and depth'of this inquiry.
It needs no amplification, for tho
problem of when will this world
end to you or me is so strango aud
deep that nothing can be added to
it by any rhetoric. When will you
cease to live? What an unopened
book! No one on earth can break
the seals and read tho hidden date.
But now mark tho human success
that comes from this enigma. I do
not say that a greater success may
not be coming to the inhabitants of
some other world by some other in
fluence than that of an uncertain
graee, but of man as ho is we must
speak. Look at tho two facts which
greet all born into earth. (1) We
cannot stay here always. Tho
earth would not contain all its
countless millions did uone die. If
other thousands of millions are to
come, then wo must pass away. To
como to such a little world necessi
tates a short stay. We can visit
earth, but we cannot live here. Th
second part (2) is, that we aro im
perfect beings, aud this awful re
moval from this place must come in
some manner that will holp make
us noblor men aud women while wo
stay. The Almighty, therefore,
says : "I will remove each genera
tion in thirty-three years ; but. I will
conceal from each one his own day
of doom." When disease sweeps
across tho land all will foar, but
not all will die. When the dark
cloud comes up from tho horizon,
and when the lightnings flash and
the thunder makes the hills tremble,
all will wait in strange silence, but
not all will die; out upon the seas
in the storm all the inmates of the
ship shall pray, but only one Bhip
shall become a tomb, and thus all
6hall seem on the confines of death,
and in such a pathetic world shall
they think their thoughts and plan
their actious. From early life to
old ago each one born into this
planet shall be unable to boast of
to-morrow, for between him and
the future ho seos this shadow
lying.
Some atheists springing up in the
fonrth century affirmed that this
world was not made by a God, for
had it a wise author He would not
have made a creature that sometimes
died an infant, aud often in all the
beauty of early life. A wise God
would have given each being a
fixed term of oxistenco. Thoy al
luded to the fact that brutes gen
erally live a fixed number of years,
whereas a man is a weak and pow
erless thing, more liable to dio
young thau die old. To these
atheists the father Lactantius re
plies that animals havo no souls
that may be influenced by any med
itations upon dissolution, but man
has a natural arrogance and vanity
wbioh are softened by this painful
vicissitude. Tho elegant Latin
points out what tenderness of pa
rents springs up out of this frailty
of their children, and what holp
fuluoss springs up in society from
the fact that all aro traveling in a
path liable any moment to bo swept
by storm. And then ho makes a
beautiful illustration. Ho says
coarse and cruel animals, the lion,
the serpent, tho eagle, tho hawk, go
each apart, but all gentle and help
less creatures baud together the
does and the deer. Thus man, feol
ing his helplessness, gathers np into
society that all may help each other,
and may hold the hand of each other
when dark days como. Thus what
atheism poiutod out as a defect be
comes an evidence of a Master
Mind. Brutos die at a regular age,
man at unknown times, because
Nature permits brutes only to liye,
hot to man the higher possibility of
living well, and beautifully. With
the brute, existence is the end de
sired, with man tho eud sought by
the Creator is the quality of his ex
istence. Brutes die, indeed, but
man only can pronounce the word
Tomb.
These several details will servo to
illustrate our theme that much of
the success of man as to property
aud as to learning, aud as to morals
aud character como from the books
sealed which no man can opon. The
unknown of to-morrow is as to
property, and fame, and learning a
constant softening of all vanity and
all hardncBS of the heart. An old
King once commanded that death
should never in any way be men
tioned in his palace. He wished to
assume, and have it assumed, that
he should always reign. And no
one for years 6pokc in his hearing
any such hateful words, but some
Dutch merchants, having once been
admitted to his presence, alluded to
the death of a European King, and
the solemnity of tho self-constituted
immortal made it known by the
shadow on his face that the silence
of his family and his court had not
silenced the secret thought in the
spirit
In snch a world, where all of our j
youth stand to-day in prcseuco of
these unsolved things, tho Hue of
duty is clear it being to approach
all of them with the most possible
of wisdom and integrity. As the
pilots who guide the steamers down
the rapids of the St. Lawrence hold
a hand that is very strong and
steady, and havo a heart full of one
thought the safety and happi
ness of all in the boat so must
man move down the channel of this
life with his eye marking well the
whole way, and with a hand power
ful, and with a heart full of wishes
for the welfare of all. He must
avoid the vices that cloud the mind
or sully tho honor, and thus move
on toward the unfolding of the
future on either side of the sepul
cher. While John looked and
wept much that no man could open
the book, behold there came from
the Eternal Throne One greater
than man, and when that Hand
touched the volume its seven seals
began to- fall asunder. And this
much became disclosed : That in
the Kingdom of God aud Christ
there is no success for vice or sin,
but that the combined voicos of
angols announce tho doctrino that
they who do God's commandments
shall enter through tho gates into
the city. You all, if you follow
your highest duty, will find that
One abovo man will como to you
also in years near or afar, and will
opon many a sealed page, and will
read to you in this life or tho next
words that will make amends for
tho "much weeping" of tho times
that wore dark.
It i tho Same Immio an in 1830.
I stood a little while ago in the
city of Paris where stood the Bastilo
where now stands the column of
July, surmounted by the figure of
liberty. In Its right hand is a broken
chain. In its "left hand a banner;
upon its shining forehead a glitter
ing star, and as I looked upon it T
said : Such is the Republican party
of my country. Tho other day, be-
ins alone onthc road I camo to a nlaro
where the road had boon changed,
uiu mo gume uoani was as mev iiau
put it years before. It pointed dili
gently in the direction of a desolate
field. Now, that guide post had
been there for twenty years. Thous
ands of peoplo had passed but
nobody had heeded tho hand on the
guido post, and it stuck there thro'
storm and Bhine, and it pointed as
hard as ever, as if tho road was
through the desolate field, and I said
to myself: Such is the Democratic
party of the United States. The
other day I came to a river where
there had been a mill ; part of it was
there yet. An old sign said : "Cash
for wheat." Tho old water wheel
was broken ; it had been warped by
tho sun, cracked and split by many
winds and storms. There hadn't
been a grain of wheat ground there
for twenty years. There was noth
ing in good order but the dam ; it
was as good a dam as I ever saw ;
and I said to myself: Such is the
Democratic party. I was fa.oing
along the road the other day, when
I came to where there had once been
a hotel. But the hotel and barn had
burned down ; nothing remained
there but the two chimneys, monu
ments of tho disaster. In the road
there was an old sign, upon which
wore those words : "Entertainment
for man and beast." Tho word man
was nearly burned out. There
hadn't been a hotel there for thirty
years. That sign had swnng and
creaked in the wind ; tho snow had
fallen upon it in the winter; tho
birds had swung upon it in the sum
mer. Nobody over stopped at that
hotel ; but the sign stuck to it, and
kept swearing to it entertainment
for man and beast; and I said to
myself, such is the democratic party
of tho United States. From It. G.

Little CniLDiiEX. People, who
habitually put children out of their
hearts, and closo their doors upon
them, have no idea how much com
fort they set aside what pleasure,
what amusement. Of course the
little creatures meddle with things,
aud leavo the traces of their fingers
on tho wall, aud cry and "bother"
a littlo: but when one gets into the
way of it, as mothers and other lov
ing relatives do, those things become
of more importance. Children say
such pretty things, and do such fun
ny things, the touch of thoir little
hands is so soft, tho sound of their
little voices is sweet, their faces aro
so pretty, their movements so grace
ful and comical, the whole family
goes baby-mad and no wonder.
No book was eyer written that wag
ever half so interesting as a
little child that is learning to talk
and to think, that is developing from J
a tiny animal into a being that has a
conscience and a heart.
The wise man makes equity and
justice the basis of all his conduct;
the right forms the rule of his be
havior ; deference aud modesty mark
his exterior; sincerity and fidelity
scrvo him for accomplishments.
3f. Decasine has observed that the
use of tobacco by children causes
them to have palpitation and irreg
ular action of the heart. Also that
it predisposes them to laziness and
(he use of alcoholics.

Two brief articles have" been pre
pared aud published, and 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 the appearance of waste and bar
renness to those who arc accustomed
to live in a timbered country. Tim
ber of every kind common to this
latitude can be cultivated on tho
prairies of Nebraska. Near the wa
ter courses and river bluffs a largo
quantity of trees are generally found
growing in great luxuriance.
Among the varieties found in such
localities arc cottonwood, box-elder,
buckeye, maple, locust, ash, hickory,
oak, willow, poplar, sycamore, wal
nut, pine and cedar. Tho shrubs
include common junipor, pawpaw,
prickly ash, sumacs, red root, spin
dlo tree, plum, currants aud goose
berries, dogwood, butter bush, buffa
lo berry, mulberry and hazlenut.
Cedars aro found on the islands of
tho Platte, and along the Loup, and
on tho Niobrara there is a largo
quantity of pino.
But tho intorestiug point we want
to make is tho fact that all this
variety of trees will grow aud flour
ish on tho prairie, and that as much
timber as may be noedod by each
farmer can be raised on his farm.
It is not a little surprising to know
that the early travelers, and, among
others, Gen. Fremont, should have
formed the opiuion that the prairies
of Nebraska wero a sandy desert,
unsuitcd for farming purposes, when
in these times it has been examined
by competent judges and pronounc
ed without any hesitation to be a
region which is to be the great grain
and- stock -producing area of tho
continent. Men don't mako broad
of sand, and they don't, as a general
thin", settle in such localities. The
United State? cover 23 degrees of
latitude; away to the frozen north.
and down to tho semi-tropic south.

With all
ginning of western settlement the
great current of movement has been
within a central bolt five or six de
grees in width, and nearly corres
ponding with the latitudinal length
of Illinois, which lies between .10
degrees, 50 minutes and A2. degrees.
This is the boll, in the United States
in which industry obtains the most
certain and highest rewards. It is
temperate in climate and a- man
can work up to his best notch. The
land is fruitful, aud boars in groat
abundance those products which are
necessaries of lifo, and which there
fore have a steady commercial valne.
Tho population of Nebraska in tho
beginning of 1S5G was 10,710, and at
tho close of 1875, 259,912, which was
a twenty-livc-fold increase in twen
ty years.
Corn in Nebraska is most bounti
ful in production; with fair cultiva
tion the yield is from 50 to 60 bush
els pur acre. "Vhoat from 15 to 25
bushels por acre. Barley from 30 to
10 bushels. Kye 25 to 30 bushels.
Oats 40 to 50 bushels. A country
which is adaptod to the raising of
corn ; small grains ; good for grass
and hay, and has at all times a fa
vorablo climate, must be a good
location for stock-raising. Live
stock is in great demand the civilized
over, and it is in live stock tho far
mer finds a great deal of his wealth.
It has been demonstrated among
tho 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 and labor. Look
around 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 have invested. And there is
room in Nebraska for hundreds of
thousands moro farmers.
