Particulars of the Death of the President. Long Branch, September 20, 1 A. M.— Previous to his death the 011I3’ words spoken by the President were that he had a severe pain in his heart. It is supposed by the surgeons that death was occasioned by a clot of blood forming in the heart. Dr. Blss was the first one notified of the President’s expres sion of pain and upon entering the room he at once saw that the end was near. The mem bers of the family were immediately sum moned to the bedside. All arrived and per fect quiet prevailed, and Mrs. Garfield bore the trying ordeal with great fortitude, and exhibited unpiecedented courage. She gave way to no paroxysms of grief, and after death became evident she quietly withdrew to her own room. There she sat, a heart-broken widow, full of grief, but with too much Chris tian courage to exhibit it to those around her. Miss Millie was naturally greatly affected, and hursts of tears flowed from the child’s eyes, notwithstanding a noble effort to follow the example of her mother. The death scene was one never to be forgotten. Perfect quiet prevailed, and there was not a niurmer heard while the President was sinking. After death had been pronounced, the body was properly arranged by Dr. S. A. Boynton. TIIE CAUSE OF IIIS DEATH. lly previous arrangement a post mortem examination of the body of President Gar field was made this afternoon in the presence and with the assistance of Drs. Hamilton, Agncw, Bliss, Barnes, Woodward, Reyburn, Andrew 11. Smith, of Elberon, and Acting Assistant Surgeon Lamb, of the Army Medi cal Museum, Washington. The operation was performed by Dr. Lamb. It was found that the ball, after fracturing the right eleventh rib, had passed through the spinal column in front of the spinal canal, fraotur ing the body of the first lumbar vertebra, driving a number of small fragments of bone into the adjacent soft parts, and lodging be low the pancreas about two inches and a half to the left of the spine and behind the peri toneum, where it became completely encysted. The immediate cause of death was secondary hemorrhage from one of the mesenteric arte ries adjoining the track of the ball, the blood rupturing the peritoneum, and nearly a pint escaping into the abdominal cavity. This hemorrhage is believed to havo been the cause of the severe pain in the lower part of the chest, complained of just before death. An abscess cavity six inches by four in diraen sions was found in the vicinity of the gall bladder, between the liver and the transverse colon, which were strongly adherent. It did not involve the substance of the liver, and no communication was found between it and the wound. A suppurating channel also extend ed from the external wound between the loin muscles and the right kidney, almost to the right groin. This channel is now known to be due to burrowing of pus from the wound, and was supposed, during life, to have been the track of the ball. On examination of the organs of the chest, evidence of severe bronchitis were found, besides, with bronchial pneumonia of the lower portion of the right lung, though to a much less extent. On the left the lungs con tain no abscesses. Liver was enlarged and fatty, but free from abscesses, nor were any found in any other organ except the left kid ney, which contained near its surface a small abscess about onc-third of an inch in diame ter. In reviewing the history of the case, in connection with the autopsy, it is quite evi dent that the different suppurating surfaces, and especially the fractured spongy tissue of the vertebra*, furnish a sufficient explanation of the septic condition which existed. Cotton Seed Again. Mr. Atkinson, the great American statis tician, regards cotton seed as one of the most valuable of all Southern productions, and says that its treatment and use constitute a very vital department in agriculture. lie speaks of its waste as having been in the past the waste of the South. lie well says that one hundred and twenty thousand tons of cotton seed meal and cake, annually ship ped to Great Britain, work a terrible exhaus tion of Southern soil. This meal, which is fed very largely to English sheep, ought, every pound of it, to be fed to sheep on the cotton lands. In this manner the soil would nut only be maintained in its fertility, but the crop of cotton might be doubled and wool clip added almost with cost. Mr. Atkinson sees the approach of the period when planters will not need to send their seed to the great oil mills. He says : “ There are also many crude and some per fected machines for hulling and preparing the seed, which may be used by farmers and plan ters, but the small press, by which the crude oil may be extracted by farmers or planters, is still to be invented and brought into use. I feel very little doubt that the Cotton Exhi bition at Atlanta will bring into notice a great variety of new inventions for the treatment of seed, and I have great hopes that adequate apparatus may be exhibited, at moderate cost, by which men of small capital can either, each for himself, or l>3 r small combinations, hull the seed, remove the crude oil and grind the cake, thereby retaining on their farms all that is valuable as food and as a fertilizer.” Be of Good Cheer. There is one remedy which has proved it self to boa priceless boon and a true friend to suffering humanity. It has saved thou sands of nervous, debilitated, headaching mortals to lives of usefulness and the full en joyment of robust health. If you are weak, nervous and debilitated, or suffer from indi gestion and dyspepsia, you make a serious mistake and do yourself great injustice if you fail to try this excellent medicine. You will find it a perfect panacea fur all your troubles. system will be restored to a natural and healthful condition, all symptoms of dyspep sia and indigestion disappear, and the possi bility of paralysis, apoplexy, and other dis orders that lead to sudden death, will be re moved forever. This meritorious compound is a preparation of Iron and essential vege table tonics. It is the only preparation of Iron that does not give headache or blacken the teeth. It is called Brown's Ikon Bit ters. Demand it of your druggist, and take no substitute. It will give the greatest satis faction, for its effects are lasting, and not temporary, as is the case with alcoholic pre parations. Brown’s Iron Bitters contain no alcohol. — Enquirer* “lVhal will TARIMITS SELTZER APEBII3.W cure?” asks the sufferer from a multitude of diseases. We answer : It will remove from the system the active cause of most of the diseases that llesh is heir to.
