THE LATEST AND MOST WONDERFUL
INVENTION 1
EDISON’S
INSTANTANEOUS
GUIDE
There was a universal observance of
the day of mourning in this city last
Monday, and the first proclamation of
the president met with a response
which if ii was not entirely out of re
gard for hi* authority at least show*
the people in such a disposition as will
lead them to give his administration
great respect if he but tries to dis~
charge bis responsibilities faithfully.
The people of this land from one end
to the other had come to love their dead
president, and it was with one accord
that they honored his memory and
gave respect to the day of his bnrial.
All business, whether of merchant or
artisan, professional or mechanic, was
suspended, houses were closed and
draped in long festoons jf black cloth
and all the day a solemn stillness held
which made it appear as if the funeral
ceremoni es were going on in onr very
midst. The bells tolled tor hours and
thu streets were virtually deserted for
most of the evening.
At half-past four, according to an
nouncement, a service was held at the
the First Methodist church, in which
a large number of our people of all
denominations participated. A num
ber of colored people were present
also and joined in the common grief.
Tho’service8 were conducted by Rev.
Dr. C. W. Lane. After the singing
of that beautiful song, “Sweet bye
and bye,” a lesson was read from the
12 chapter of Job, which was followed
by a prayer and other songs. The
minister then read three verges of the
lesson as a basis tor his remarks:
9th verse. Who knoweth not in all
these that the hand ot the Lord bath
wrought this?
19th verse. He lcadcih princes
away spoiled, and makclh the judges
fools.
23d verse. He increaseth the na
tions, ami destroyeth. them : He cn-
largeth the nations, and straitenelh
them again.
The occasiou is solemnly impress
ive, The day is one of mourning.
The people ot the nation attend the
funeral of their chief magistrate. All
is gloom and sorrow’. It is a tit tnue
to observe the proclamation of the
president, and get down in the dust of
humiliation and mourning. A great
evil has come upon the country. The
wicked hand of the assassin has
brought the country to tears of griet
and sadness. People are loth to look
up aud believe that God had anything
to do with this. Aud yet, it is a truth
that God permits evil. While he can
not look upon sin with any degree of
allowance and must punish the sinner,
yet He does permit sins to be com
mitted. The sinner is alone responsi
ble. He saw the end from the begin
ning and by the exercise of His will
could have staid the hand of the assas
sin, but He did not. In a time of
great peace, when the country seemed
prosperous, when wo bad secured a
president whose conservatism prom
ised greater benefit than we had en
joyed in long years, he was stricken
down, and the hand of the Lord was
in it all.
The inquiry naturally arises why
was this T Why did the Lord permit
it ? It would not do to presume to
interpret the Divine will or try to
tcli with certainty the intentions of
God, but we may seek the lesson and
find certain suggestions. Iu this
death and calamity may we not say
that God speaks to the officers of the
government, the Cabinet, Senators,
Representatives, J udges, Governors,
and all others in authority, to warn
them of the shortness ami uncertain
ty of life, the vanity of earthly fame,
the duty of discharging duties with
an eye to eternity. He speaks to
those seeking position. He speaks to
the whole people, calling them by
this providence to His tear and ser
vice.
May it not be as a punishment tor
sin ? Oh,' the sins of the nation 1 The
profanity, Sabbath desecration,intern
perance aud debauchery! These cry
aloud for punishment. May not this
affliction have been sent to stay the
j tide of sin ?
Were the prayers ot the people am
swered ? Yes, no prayer offered is
faith was ever lost or unanswered.
They were answered in God's way,
just as David’s prayer for the life ot
his child was answered—just as Paul’s
prayer for the removal of the thorn
from his flash was answered—just
Christ’s prayer for the removal of the
cup was answered. If the people will
become humble, forsake sins and torn
to God, the death of the president
will prove a blessing to the community
and as the rays of the sun fell slant!
across the earth from the westci
horizon, the people dispersed, deeply
impressed with tlin solemnities of
hour and as we believe better iff
heart, firmer in patriotic devotion and
more resolved to live in the service of
their country and their God.
AT THE GRAVE.
The ceremonies at Cleveland we
very impressive last Monday. The cii
was crowded to overflowing and
procession was very large and im|
ing. A hundred thousand peopl|
passed by the casket. The fun
services were conducted at the
ion by ministers of various denoi
ti°Wk », Biqbop BflbtL^Ew
Ohio, read passages of scripture, ’the
“funeral,hymn’’ of Beetheven wat
sung by the Cleveland vocal society ;
prayer was offered by Rev. Ross C.
Houghton, (Methodist); another
hymn was sung, and then an address
was delivered by Rev. Dr. Errett,
which was eloquent and impressive.
Another hymn was sung, Gen.
Garfield’s favorite, beginning
“Ho, reaper* otlife’s liar rest 1
Why stand with rusted blade I”
The procession beguu to move at
11:55 from Monumental park to Lake
view cemetery, reaching there at 3:30
p. m. The services at the vault
where the remains were de
posited were short and simple.
The avenue through winch the proces
sion passed was six miles long and the
whole way was appropriately deco
rated. Thus the last sad rites were
closeu aud the people turned from
their dead to tlie active duties of
life again.
K0UBERS OF A. T. STEN ART’S GRAVE.
St. Louis, Sept., 28.—-The Globe-
Democrat publishes an interview with
a secret service officer, who, it says,
has a national reputation, and who
has letters of endorsement from Sec
retary Lincoln, and officers ot the
New York Centra! railroad, and
others high in authority in this city.
This officer asserts that the same ring
that planned the robbery of Lincoln,
stole the body of A. T. Stewart. He
further says he knows the five per
sons who robbed Stewart’s grave,
that two others afterward stole it
from the first gang. He declares he
knows the parlies and their wherea
bouts, and that the remains ot A. T.
Stewart can be recovered if there is
any desire to recover them. He has
written Judge Hilton twice on the
subject, but received no reply, al
though he enclosed the highest refer
ences. lie also attempted to see
Mrs. Stewart, but was denied admit
tance by a relative of Hilton. He
believes Judge Hilton does not want
to recover the body. The officer
says a woman is in the conspiracy,
and emphatically asserts: T know the
parties who stole the remains and can
give names and descriptions and pre
sent whereabouts, and can point out
the parly who knows positively where
the remains are buried.’’

Other points were made by the
speaker. It was an eloquent and ap

song was sang by the excellent choir,
Dr. Talmuge on Praying for Guiteaa.
The Rev. Dr. Tnlmage, in an ad
dress in the Tabernacle last night,
described a visit be paid to the White
House last spring, when he saw Press
ident Garfield. ’At times,’ he said,
*1 am almost sickened, body and mind
and soul, that that man of such splen
did physique should be lacerated first
by the bullet, then necessarily at the
demand of surgical skill, till nothing
but the call ot the Archangel can mend
that robust frame; that a man all
right should be put out of the world
by a man all wrong [applausej ; that
a brave woman should be made a
widow; that an old mother should
lose her favorite sou, and the nation
orphaned, all because a brainless tool
could not get a foreign consulship. On
the principle that all men, however
bad, ought to be prayed lor, I have
tried for eight Sundays to get myself
up to pray for that wretch, but I can’t
do it. [Applause.] Perhaps before
the day of his hanging I may grow
iu grace enough to pray tor him, but
until then I must leave it to the old
miuisters who have got so good that
tl.oy can do anything.’
An End to tne World’s Fair.
Cor. Detroit Free Prevs.
Judge Hilton has given a quietus
to the talk about reviving the
World’s Fair project. To a request
to take it in hand he has given a plain
flat refusal. I said a couple of weeks
ago that he was not the sort of a mnu
to take up a thing that others had made
a failure, and in his refusal he says
pretty much the same thing himself.
The fair is now about as dead as it
can be. Let it remain dead. Perhaps
the busy-bodies who killed it are now
satisfied. But New York never real
ly wanted the fair. It has plenty of
business without it, and there’s a big
enough fair going on, right along
Broadway, all the year, anyway.
Fataly Poisoned br a Pin.
A young married lady of Albany
died recently in the Adirondarks un
der circumstances of a most singular
nature. Before going out driving sbe
pricked with a brass pin a c->ld sore on
her upper lip and rubbed it with cam
phor. Before she reached *her hotel
her lip commenced to swell, and be
fore night her whole face was swollen
to an abnormal size. He husband was
telegraphed for, and arrived before
the unfortunate lady died, but she
could not speak to him each was the
coudition ot her face. Erysipelas had
set in of the most virulent type, nod
death resulted within lorty-eight
hoars.

morton, Mis. H. A. Throcmorton and
Miss Nellie J. Throcmorton, of Bos
ton, registered at the Manitou House
last night. They made inquiry con
cerning the difficulties of ascending
Pike’s Peak, and in the course of the
evening engaged the Rev. Dr. J. Ed
wards bmilh to go with them to the
summit of the peak for the purpose of
rforming a marriage ceremony,
is morning at sunrise the six bron
chos stood in front of the Manitou
House and in a few minutes tlie entire
party were in the saddle. The Rev.
Dr. Smith was mounted upon a par-
flphrly lively brute, which, alter
railzing on two legs down the road,
from the hotel to the bridge over the
Fountain, wound up his performance
by bucking the clergyman over the
railing into the stream. Mr. Smith
was rescued at once, and although
not seriously injured the accident de
ranged the plans of tlie wedding par
ty, for the clergyman declined lo risk
his health by continuing the trip, in
spite ot all persuasion and the offer ot
a safe and quiet animal. After much
consultation the young gentleman sugs
geated that Dr. Smith should come to
this city (Colorado Springs) and from
the United Slates telegraph office,
which is connected with the signal
station on the peak, perform the mar
riage ceremony by telegraph. The
doctor consented to this arrangement,
and thus by accident another elemeut
of romance was added to this already
romantic affair. The summit was reach
ed about noon, and Sergeant O’Keefe
was found in charge ot the station.
He received his visitors with his
usual hospitality, and when their in
tention of celebrating a wedding was
annoanced he was overjoyed and at
once set about making arrangements.
The instrument of the signal station
was decorated with flowers and flags,
and then the sergeant seated himself
at the telegraph instrument and sent
a call down to the springs office, 10-
000 feet below. Officer Jones, who
was in charge, replied and informed
tlie sergeant that the Rev. Dr. Smith
had arrived and was ready to proceed
with the ceremony. The vonng people
joined hands and stood before the ser
geant, the father and mother of the
bride standing on either side, and the
sergeant at the instrument read off
the questions ot the clergyman as thev
came thrilling over the wires. There
was a rapid clicking for a moment,
and then Sergeant O’Keefe,-in a sol
emn voice repeated the message:
’Charles A. Dutton, do yon take
Nellie J. Throcmorton to bo your law
ful and wedded wife?’
. ‘I do,’ responded the bridegroom
with evident emotion. The sergeant
tapped the telegraph instrument aud
iu a moment anothei message came
and was read by him :
•N ellie S. Throcmorton, do you take
Charles A. Dutton to be your lawful
and wedded husband ?’
‘I do,’ said the bride in a low voice.
The sergeant heard it, however,
and transmitted the reply. There was
a moment’s pause, and then came the
solemn concluding words. Up from
tlie valley to that small stone keep,
fourteen thousand feet above the
ocean, came that message making two
hearts oue:
‘Then I pronounce you man and
wife.’
HR. PPOOPEYDYKE IS ILL.
He Expresses His Opinion or the Doctor.
Brooklyn Eogle.
‘How long is it since I’ve been out
of this measly old barracks?’ asked
Mr. Spoopendyke, turning painfully
iu his bed and gazing in a vague, half
dazed way toward a long line of anti
dotes on the mantel.
‘About two weeks, dear,’ said Mrs.
Spocpendyke, coming towards him
with a bowl ot gruel and smiling pleas
antly. ‘Tne doctor says you are not
likefy to have another attack if you
keep very quiet and follow bis in
structions.’
‘Oh, he does, does he ?’ said Mr.
Spoopendyke, making a vain effort to
sit up, and falling back with a groan.
‘He says I won’t have another attack.
Now, what do you suppose that dod
gasted, bald-pated pill roller knows
about my case any way. Perhaps vou
think he could make an Egyptian
mummy dance a highland fling, aud
put life into a cigar sign. All he needs
is three bulletins a day and unlimited
chin to becomeione of the leading
physicians of the country. I suppose
if I Luke all of that stuff up there I
shall be*born again, and see the next
centennial. What does that bone saw-
ing, blistering old ape know about the
future any way ? How can he tell
whether I’ll have another attack or
not ? Perhaps he will tell vou the
name of your next husband, and the
colo>- ot his hair, for 50 cents. Perhaps
he is a dod gasted spiritualist. What’s
that ?’
‘Gruel,’ said Mrs Spoopendyke.
Gruel, always gruel,’ said Mr.
Spoopendyke, turning his face to the
wall. ‘Do you imagine I’m a Shel
tering Arms and SL John’s Guild
excursion thrown into one? Why
don’t you tie a bib around my neck,
get me a rubber to chew on and put
a rattle in my hand ?’
But the doctor says you must not
eat solid food just at pres—’
Oh, I am not to eat solid food,’
said Mr. Spoopendyke, kicking vi
ciously at the foot board. ‘A diet ot
cannon halls and scrap iron won’t
agree with me. It won’t do for me
to attempt digesting steel rails and
bridge girdles. He thinks they
wouldn’t agree with me, does he ?
The measly old rattle-brained pow
der mixer. Here, give me that stuffy
and Mr. Spoopendyke knocked the
bowl out ol his wife’s hands, spilling
the contents over the bed clothes.
‘There, now, I suppose you are satis •
tied,’ he said, squirming over toward
the wall, and digging his face in the
pillow, while Mrs. Spoopendyke gath
ered up the pieces aud said it was so
fortunate the bowl was only earthen
ware.
JEFF DA VIS’S PROPOSED SCHOOL HISTORY
ENGLAND IN MOURNING.
.yt
New York Herald.
The great meeting in Exeter Hall,
London, reports of which will be
found in our special cable dispatches,
although called for the purpose of
expressing the sorrow of American
travelers and residents abroad at the
President’s death, was as cosmopoli
tan in its nature as the character of
the world’s greatest metropolis. Rep
resentatives from all quarters of the
globe were there assembled to attest
by their presence their griet at the
loss of the chief magistrate ot the
United States and their sympathy
with Mrs. Garfield and with the
American nation. Especially notice
able was the large number of English
gentlemen and ladies who formed a
considerable portion of the vast audi
ence. But the number of English
mourners was not limited to tha gath
ering in the ball. It extended through
out the length and breadth of Great
Britain. If anything were needed to
manifest the lies that bind together
the two greatest English speaking na
tions of the earth this universal sorrow
that prevails in England over Amer
ica’s great loss would proclaim to all
people the cc-ramunily of kindred,
ot feeling and of purposes that exists
between the two countries. The
President of the United Stales dies,
and his death is the occasion of signs
of griet such as were never before
witnessed in Great Britian at the
death of any foreign ruler and have
scarcely been exceeded at the loss of their
own sovereigns. Such a demonstra
tion is inspired by a sentiment which
rises superior to all differences in form
of government or in external policy
and iorever obliterates the remem
brance of former conflict. As Min
ister Lowell happily remarked at the
Exeter Hall meeting, the American
who chances to be at present in En
gland feels that he is ill a strange,
but not a foreign land.
TnE SENTIMENT OF THE SOUTH.
New York Times.
One of the remarkable features of
the geiieral lamentation for Garfield
which prevails over ’he length and
breadth of the land is the frank sincer
ity ot the sorrow manifested in the
Sooth. It should not be necessary to
make any comparison betwixt the
opinions and sentiments of people
divided by a geographical line, which,
for all practical purposes, was long
since obliterated. But various cir
cumstances have combined to main
tain the useless distinction ol ’North’
and ‘South.* The expressions of the
Southern newspapers, commenting on
the national sorrow, are uniformly
tender, sympathetic and generous.
The Southern newspapers refer to
Garfield as an honest, patriotic and
brave Chief Magistrate, as well as a
lovable man. They deplore his
untimely taking off' as most lam
entable, aod they dwell with great
unanimity on the fact that the long
sickness of the dead President shows
to the world that the hearts ot the
people, North and South, arc as one.
1 }ui ol the heavy affliction of the past
eleven weeks we may take this cheer
ful thought—thu idle differences that
have separated two sections of the re
public have disappeared in the pres
ence of a common grief. In the corns
inents of the Southern newspaper press
on the event which has plnnged the
nation into mourning, there is doI one
dissonant note.
Doably urauini.
Two things tojie again gratetul for
to-day—that the assassin was not
Southerner and not a Democrat. The
nation mourns with its whole soul, and
there is no murmur of sectional or
factional dissent anywhere.—JV. F.

From the Fort Gibson KeveiU*.
Some weeks ago two little Mississ
ippi girls, students at thu Port Gib
son Collegiate Academy, who were
smarting under the neces-ity of recit
ing certain school histories of the
United States now used in all our
schools, and so lull of shinder and
misrepresentations, conceived the
idea that President Davis could be
induced to write a proper and truths
,ful history as a benefaction to the
school children of the South, and in
childish simplicity they ventured a
joint letter to the great patriot and
statesman, and to their great joy and
gratification they received the follow 1
ing:
My Dear Little Friends: I
feel very sensibly the compliment con
tained in vour request that I should
write a history of the United States
which it would not pain you to re
cite. I have long desired to see a
school history which would do justice
our people and ancestors, and urg
ed the late Dr. Bledsoe to undertake
the work. He died without doing
so, and I know of no living man as
well able to perform the task. I should
much distrust my own ability, but if
my life is spared and I can get no one
of such views as would suit you to
prepare such a work. I will remem
ber your request with sincere desire
to grant it, but I cannot promise to
do so. Many years and bitter trials
leave me but little time or strength
for so important a labor. May God
bless you, my children, and reward
your patriotic impulses with long life
and happiness. Very truly your
friend, Jefferson Davis.

So iar as bare, personal integrity
goes, Arthur is above reproach. His
private life has in it no public scans
dais. He is by manner, by habit, by
temperament, a clubbable man liked by
many and hated by lew; but bis band
is pulpy and hie florid face, his grav
whiskers, his full cheeks and easy
tread bespeak a man who las taken
better care of his pleasures than of
liiraselt.—Springfield Republican.

A wierd story has been published
in England of the reading of the
marriage service by a clergyman, Mr.

but it turns out to be ‘made out of the

A WORD 10 GEORGIAN*.
The fall terra ol the University of
Georgia opens on Wednesday of next
week and this tact leads us to ask
why some Georgians persist in send
ing their chrildren off to an inconven-
nient distance, and nearly always to
second-class colleges, when right at
home we+iave an institution and State
University, not only first class in every
particular, but the equal in reputation
and advantages ot any educational
centre in America. This query is
more than ever pertinent just now,
inasmuch as for the first time since
the foundation of the University the
State authorities have seen fit to rec
ognize the claims of au institution,
which, although called a foster child
of the state, has been really the fos
ter mother, the Alma Mater ot the
state’s best and greatest men.
The legislature has appropriated an
annuity, at the request of the Trus
tees and the Chancellor, sufficient to
justify the experiment of making the
tuition free, and hereafter all students
at the University of Georgia will be
admitted to any of the departments
and given a full course of instruction
free. This act makes the University
indeed the school ot the people, the
institution of the state, aDa a Univer
sity in fact as well as in name. Its
distinguished faculty, its scientific ad
vantages, equalled nowhere in the
south and not surpassed iu the north,
will increase its popularity and make
the University of Georgia the favorite
resort of the young men of this and
neighboring States.
Indeed this feeling is now genet ally
expressed, a sentiment of State pride
is turning towards the hills of Athens
the flower of the youth of the com
monwealth. and we learn with pleas
ure that the prospects point to full
halls m old Franklin, and-vast strides
in the intellectual progress al the Uni
versity.

THE LAST CUAFTER IN GARFIELD’S UFE.
Now York Times.
No event of modern times has so
knit into one common bond ol human
sympathy the hearts of mankind as
the last chapter of the life ot Garfield,
The conspicuousness of his position as
President of the great republic, the
peculiar atrocity of the attack and the
suddenness of the bhw, combitied to
make the event momentous. The
first chill of surprise and terror passed
away, and then began a reraarkble
contest. The strong, heroic man
wrestled with death. The civilized
world looked on with tearful sympa
thy. Mothers, daughters, wives,
husbands, fathers and children seemed
to stand in that smitten household
where the sufferer endured, with
Christian fortitude and manliness, the
pain and weatcnes3 that marked the
inevitable approach of death. For
weary weeks this sombre drama has

Vice Presidents rail their Predecessors.
It is not entirely unreasonable that
Vice Presidents, selected aa ours have
been, should uniformly reverse the
general policy of their immediate
predecessors. Tyler did it; Fillmore
did it; Johnson did it; and Arthur is
reasonably certain to do it. And
why ? The answer is simple and log
ical, Vice Presidents represent noth
ing. They are nominated to meet
some present and accidental political
necessity, generally resulting from
the nomination of the Presidential
candidate. They, therefore, repre-
ent no great sentiment in the party,
and they become ciphers in the ad
ministration. They gravitate into
estrangement because they are voice
less; the disappointments of the party
naturally cluster about -hem until
they become the central figure of the
opposition, and when they succeed to
the power that disregarded them they
fall into the arms of those who were
not in sympathy with the elected
President. As lorg as Vice Piesi-
dents are subjected to tlie ordinary
laws of human nature they will be
the natural antagonists of the Presi
dent, his policy and’ his friends.—

life were like some tremendous and

the tragical termination of his career
we think pitifully and tenderly of the
