imeilss cojuiE.vrs. GREAT BRITAIN. "THE LONDON' POST." July A. The Post says: No cwnt has so profoundly mov ed the English nation for many years, not excepting the assassina tion of the czar, as the attempt upon the life of President Garfield. We venture to say that not only in Eng land, but wherever the Euglieh lan guage is spoken, the sad tidings have fallen with all the force of a domestic calamity. "We hope Gar field may be spared to discharge the duties of his proud office; but we can not banish feelings awakened by the gravest apprehenBionB of the crime, apparently motiveless and purposeless. Garfield has done noth ing to provoke that political ani mosity which so frequently furnish es an excuse for regicide. "We fail to see bow the murder of the presi dent can serve the ends of any political party. There seemB no doubt the assassin is insane. It will be satisfactory to know the crime is not the outcome of nihilism. "We may be permitted to hope that, with Garfield's excellent constitution, he may recover. It is inexpressibly saddening to think that by the act of a miserable idiot the president of a mighty republic, and the nominal ruler of millions of intelligent and industrious people should be laid at death's door, the machinery of a continent momentarily puzzled, aud possibly two states on opposite sides of the Atlantic plunged into mourn ing. "the daily NEWS." The Daily News says : It gives us the liveliest satisfac tion to announce that there is now every hope of Garfield's recoyery. The utmost sympathy will be felt throughout England with Sirs. Gar field and the people of America, in the grievous misfortune which has befallen them. The queen has given fitting expression to this sympathy by the dispatch of telegrams to Mr. and Sirs. Garfield. The former has won the general respect of friend aud foe. There seemB no reason to doubt that Guitcau was instigated by purely personal motives. The vengeance of baffled cupidity could seldom have selected a more blame Icbs victim than Garfield. One fea ture of this disaster is the absence of all excuso for conucctiug it with revolutionary enterprises. Political assassination has lately stimulated the imaginations of mauy people to a morbid pitch of alarm, and the language of vaporing braggarts like O'Donovati Rossa has been treated with far too serious attention. If Garfield recovers, the satisfaction of the English people will be deep, genuine, and universal. The Daily 2fews appears to-day in semi-mourning. "TnE TELEGnxrH." The Telegraph says : It is certain that, if Guiteau really uttered the words, "Arthur is now president," there will be wide spread suspicion in America that the crime may hare been the result of a political conspiracy. Inquiry will, however, probably show that the crime was the individual act of an undisciplined vagabond, driven to homicidal mania by a combina tion of uncontrollable- grood of office and despair of gain. America will find that this cancer of place-hunting must be cut out, or it will eat away the healthy life of the body politic. "We sympathize with the American nation, from the Atlantic to the Pa cific, who, but for the mercy of Providence, might at this moment mourn beside the death-bed of their elected chief. "We are brethren in the heritage of freedom and genius, and as brothers we offer them the comfort of brother love. The ban ners they like to set fluttering on the Fourth of July will droop from their poles to-day or lie furled. What more can be said than that the British nation, clasping a brother's hand, bids America be of good cheer and hope? Meanwhile, desire joins with duty to hope and pray that Garfield's illustrious life may be spared to his country and world. "the standard." The Standard 6ays : Indignation, sympathy, and emo tions of hope and fear have been as strong and vivid hers as in America, and when the news was received that President Garfield was better, the feeling of thankfulness was as hearty and sincere as it was univer sal, from the queen down to her humblest subject. The circumstan ces of the outrage and the period of its occurrence intensify the feelings of detestation and abhorrence which the news would at any time have excited. The hypothesis of lunacy maybe dismissed. All evidence in dicates that Guiteau knew perfectly well what he was about We doubt if his futile candidature for a con sulship is enough to explain the deed. If the assassin was the agent of any political conspiracy there is little difficulty in conjecturing what the objects of the conspiracy are. "With Garfield out of the way, not much more, perhaps, is likely to be heard of civil-service reform or cor rection of the host of official abuses. Recently President Garfield has shown, in connection with Fenian ism in" America, regard for English interests. These are things that nat urally quicken our sympathies with the head of the American govern ment, and deepen our detestation of the abominable outrage. CINCINNATI. July 3. The Enquirer, after com paring this with the murder of the czar, says : President Garfield vr&s a man fit to justify the pride of the American that the chief magistrate might safe ly walk forth unattended, while companies of soldier could not save crowned heads. The killing of such a presideut in a country like this in a time of profound peace, is a crime which cries for some word of mul tiplied force to convey the gravity. It is the desperate deed of a wretch whose mere existence presents one of the greatest dangers to society. It will be with Indignation that the people of this country will receive the slight suggestion of insanity which has already been communi cated. The murdered man was more than James A. Garfield he was fhe pres ident. The manner of his death is a menace to the government which will not bear temporizing. Howev er, unpleasant it may be to those who are prominently engaged in the factional fight in the republican party at this time, and however un just the reflection on them, the peo ple will take notice of the slightest circumstance, and now this is the only circumstance to note that the assassin declared ho was a stalwart and Arthur was president. ST. LOUIS. "the globk-democrat." The Globe-Democrat says : Yesterday the telegraph flashed around the earth the startling intel ligence that tho president of the United States had been stricken down by an assassin, aud the world is surprised and shocked at the most unexpected and unaccountable of crimes. The old world sovereigns, great and Bmall, are aware that Nemesis follows closely on their tracks, but that the president of the United States should be selected for assassination is an occurrence of which the world never dreamed. The country Ib prosperous beyond any precedent in the history of the nation, and there never yet existed a great people as free from political grievances as are the people of the United States at the present time. There. is no pretense that the presi dent is in the slightest degree re sponsible for the few evils, real or faucied, which exist to remind the people that their country is not an Utopia. The man is bo completely overshadowed by his office that the possibility of his murder was not considered, as ho is possessed of a character which would disarm re venge even when prompted by de votion to principles. He is one of those large-brained men whose men tal horizons expand steadily with the growth of their experience, and who addressed himself with earnest ness and industry to the work which devolved upon him. A thorough patriot, a gallant soldier, and tried statesman, his counlrymen have per fect faith in his conscientious ob servance of his official obligation. Those of his own political household who have felt aggrieved at his con duct have been free to trace his errors to ill-judged advice rather than to wrong intent, yet at tho very beginning of his term in the midst of the highest material pros perity and greatest attainable polit ical quiet, he is assassinated with deadly intent by a lunatic simply because he is president. Well may the world be surprised and shocked. During the long day yesterday the sad news of the morning reasserted itself, growing indeed more decis ively sad until late in the evening, when it was announced that possibly the nation had been deprived of its chosen chief. Hope, which had been abandoned in the afternoon, was re newed at night. Speaking for many who have not cordially agreed with the president in all thinks, wo feel sure that we express their sentiment as well as our own when we hopo the great calamity which threatened this nation yesterday, when news went forth that James A. Garfield had been stricken unto death, may be averted, and the grief which was universal throughout the land six teen years ago may not be called for again, as it certainly would be had the mad vagabond of yesterday ac complished his purpose. NEW ORLEANS. "the democrat." The Democrat says : Not since the assassination of Mr. Lincoln has anything so appalling occurred. It is an event shocking in iteelf and immeasurable in its in fluences. We feel safe in saying that our people, one and all, echo the aspiration that Mr. Garfield may be brought through the great and terrible blow which has overtaken him. His incumbency had been ac cepted by the south in all faith and contentment, and he was looked to with a thousand warm and pleasant hopes which have suddenly been transferred to indignant sorrow. Councilman Harley struck a blow in the right direction when he offer ed a resolution directing the city attorney to begin suit against the A. & N. or B. & M., or both, to re cover the $25,000 bonus given to the A. & N. R. R. to run their line into this city, and which they subse quently took up as far south as the prison. Councilman Harley has the thanks of tax-paying people for this timely act, and all who know him know that he means business, and that ha will not stop at the resolu tion above bnt will follow it up to the end. The B. & M. should pay its full complement of taxeB,as well as individuals. Lincoln Globe I ..I fe's Opportunities. Lile i., in a great degree, what wo make it. We nrc not to sit passive ly awaiting the good time; but we are to strivo with a mighty strength of purpose to make of ourselves ex amples of goodness, wisdom, in tegrity and high, moral courage, so that when tho end shall come we 'shall feel we have not lived in vain. And how shall we succeed if we pass by, heedlessly, life's precious opportunities? We would not en force upon our readers the necessity of grasping great opportunities alone far from it; for, do not the little drops of water make the broad restless ocean? And where the desort but for the little grains of sand ? So it is that little opportu nities for doing good, little lessons that may at present seem so unim portant, help materially to lay the foundation for tho great and useful life. Our faculties for exercisiug an in fluence over others are bo many and great that it is difficult to converse together without exerting a mutual influence ; aud every man who crit ically examines his intellectual aud moral state will observe that how ever short his interview with an other person may be it has had an effect upon him. And this influence is usually exerted when we think little about it ; but we have probably left impressions upon some miuds which will never be erased. And this influence and constancy has often great power; a single instance of advice, reproof, caution, or en couragement, may decide the ques tion of a man's respectability, use fulness and happiness for a life-time. How important, then, that we im prove every opportunity to make our lives a blessing to others. Western I ..I IV. With only a team and a few dol lars the emigrant determines to make himself a homo in the wilds of the West. His first care is to build a sod house, as he must havo a shel ter. That done, about the middle of May he commences breaking prairie, and if ho has a good horse team, succeeds in "Citing from forty to Bixty acres broken 'by the middle of Juuc. A few acres of the first breaking are usually planted to corn, dropped into a cut made through the sod with an axe, which incision is eloped with the foot of the plant er. This cannot bo cultivated, and is wholly at the mercy of the season. Half the time it is a failure, but if a favorable season yields from twenty to thirty bushels to tho aero. Mel on?, pumpkins and squashes usually do well on sod, and turnips sown in midsummer seldom fail. In the fall ho "back-sets" his ground with his breaking plow, taking an inch or so of ground below the spring break ing. The ground should not be plowed deoper than it is thoroughly rotted. The ground is now ready for the crop, and his wheat is usu ally sown tho last of February or early in March, lie ha9 plenty of work to do, and hard work at that. No chance to make money escapes him. The first year or two is al most invariably one of hardships and privations for tho average home steader. The weak or shiftless ones usually give way in despair and turn eastward. The resolute ones stay, and soon have comfortable homes. No young man should go West un less he is prepared to work hard in the face of many difficulties. Ex. Be Careful in CIioonIus; Your Associate. One of the most endearing con nections with this life is to know that we have friends whom we have tried and can trust. Such friendR are very scarce, and, perhaps, rarer still are those pcoplo who know or are capable of judging when they have such friends. Our characters are formed for good or bad from the company we keep. Confidence in our power to refrain from the vices of others too often inveigles us iuto the risk of mingling with associates whom we know to be our inferiors both mentally and morally. The daily influence of such company will blind us to what we know to be wrong, and wo are unconsciously led into acting in such a manner as we would have formerly condemn ed. In forming friendships avoid these lower types, and let your mode of living be directed by comparing your daily actions with tho standard of what you conscientiously consid er morally right. Beware of the two - faced mau. A slur coming from one that, is supposed to be your friend carries with it more de struction than many things equally untruthful from every known ene my you have. You had better make such men your outright enemies rather than have them continue as your apparent friends. .Simply ig nore them and waive all combat iveness with them ; that is, so far as your intuitively revengeful na nature will allow. JV. Y. Ledger. Get n. Home. We would have every true man build for himself a home, be it ever so humble iu its beginning. Indus try and frugality and good judg ment will mako it the most lovely spot on earth. The man without a home is like a sojourner without a country. The richest, happiest and best man in the wide world is he who has a pretty, comfortable home of his own, a family iu good health and owes no man a cent, even though hiseutirc worldly possessions would not sell for a thousand dollars, and though he has never held so high an office as town constable or road master. We sometimes feel constrained to doubt whether a. man without a borne can at best be an iudiflerent patriot. He can not feel that inter est in other people's real prosperity that ho feels in his own, aud without such prosperity wo could have no country worth a name. Ho would scarcely care to risk hi3 life in de fense of the hearthstone of his land lord, but let that hearthstone be his own, and woe to tho invader who should threaten it with desecration. The homes of tho people are the strength of the state. Build them, beautify them, own them and be happy. This is the fair deduction from boats of instances aud is the true philosophy of home making and home owing. Married Women' Nlavery. In what respect is the condition of many a married womau better than a slavf ? She works hard year after year, and has a roof over her head, and she is provided with food ; so is the slave. She must beg her "master" for a little pittauce with which to buy clothing for herself and children. The slave master looks after such wants of his chattels without the asking. She has no freedom or independence ; she daro not get a single article at tho store until she gets tho consent of the tyrant whom the civil law has made her lumbaud. She can have no will about even household affairs that her husband disapproves of; she is a slavo in both body and mind dur ing his life, aud at his death if she survives him, she cannot, under the unjust and tyrannical laws of nearly all countries of tho world, sell the property which she has helped to accumulate, nor control her own children without employing a law yer and getting a special permission from the court. Iowa Slate lie vortcr. General Sherman advised the ca dets at West Point not to "look down on citizens," and some of the newspapers take groat credit to themselves for discovering much wisdom and patriotism in the ad vice. But after all it wouldn't seem to ordinary citizeus a matter of any consequence whether the cadets look down or up on them, and as for the cadet, if he looks at a citizen at all, he will be obliged to adopt whatev er obliquity of vision the circum stances demand, or be cross-eyed. Probably old "Tecump" merely in tended to convey to the cadets tho advico that they should tolerate cit izens, because they are useful iu paying taxes out of which the army appropriation is made, and the citi zen should likowiso bo advised to tolerate the cadet, because ho may one day bo useful in a Uto dispute or to stop the bullet of an impulsive Cheyenne, though ho appears to be of little account iu garrison quarters. But in this country aud ago people that "look down" on other people, are very harmless lunatics, indeed, and tho sufferers are not numerous. Lincoln Journal. James Redpath the lecturer, says that Capt. Boycott was one of the most brutal and foul - mouthed agents in Western Ireland. He compelled his tenants to stand bare headed when he passed, and never addressed a poor man without an oath. Redpath agrees with Boycott that Ireland needs emigration, but says it should be emigration of landlords. It is related of a certain minister who was noted for his long sermons with many divisions, that one day, as he was advancing among his teens, he reached at length a resting place in his discourse, when, paus ing to take breath, he asked tho question: "And what shall I ask more?" A voice from tho congre gation earnestly responded, " Say Amen." A Kentucky lawyer on his ad mission to the bar came near swear ing to tell "the truth, tho whole truth, and nothing but the truth." The Clerk had begun to repeat the wrong oath, but the horrified Judge shouted to him : "Here, that isn't what we want him to do ; swear him to support the constitution and laws of Iventucky !" How came these holes in your elbows, said a widowed mother to her only son. 'Oh, mother, I hid behind the sofa when Col. Gobler was Baying to Maria that he'd take her even if you had to be thrown in ; and he didn't know I was there, and so I held my tongue and laughed in my sleeves till I burst 'era.'
