The first pony, from the care bestowed in its aeloctfoci, was suppoced to be the beet in the p«r ty. mid the other, as it lieloaged to the chief, was, oi course, thought not to rank far iiehind it in excelleuoe. These ponfoe were, according to the Indian's tbivlogy, designed for Pauline’s use 'nring the long journey she would have make lietoru reaching the happy i. .< n -grounds. The skins and buffalo robe , l aoed inside the sarcophagus were m b?r use through the long win ter when she would have to wear fur about her for a cloak and around her feet for moccaaink. All the other arti cles had definite uses according to lu duiu auix-ruaturaluun, but the signifi cance of most of them the soldiers cvnld not determine. lu the account it was state! that Mrs Liviugntone, mother of the Lieutenant, was searching for her son's child.

It is known that stu.leuta were trained to perform operations not only upon wax ukhlulk and Hpeximenx from the vagat* t>le kingdom, but also upon “ the car ctax of a dead bullock.” It is said that the Greek surgeons under thu Ptolemies were jx'Auitte.l to ekperiment upon living criminals. —— ——— —— A obnilkman from New York, who sjwnt a week at Mentor after Garfield was nominated, tells a little incident to illustrate the difference between Gar field and his wife: It was on the 4th of July, I think, when Garfield, who had Ixnight a pair of new carriage horses, only half broken, started to drive his wife and another laxly and my informant out in the surrounding country. Two rowdy fellows, knowing who Garfield was, got in the middle of the road liefore him, and w henever he undertook to pan would trot their horses hard and make his young horses rear up and plunge. They did this purjxieely for the space of two or three miles. My friend was then attracted by something in the grip of Garfield, and as he looked aronnd into his face the General said: “Now I will take a when) offl” He said it in a very low voice, which he thought his wife did not hear, and his blood wm up, and with his heavier wheels he could have cxme.l out his purpose easily. Just then Mrs. Garfield leaned forward and said in a quiet voice: “No, James, you won’t f’ “Yea, I will," said he. She pul her hand out upon his arm aud said: “No, Jxtoea. you won't I” My fneud says thst under that tom b Garfield seemed ar rested, aud iu a moment he turned into a by-road, aud saw the fellows uo more.
