The editor of Punch is the father

English idea of tun.

In Washington eight men are kept
busy in a photographic gallery mak

. Mrs. Garfield’s mother, Arabella
Mason, was born in Vermont, in
the town of Hartford. She was a
scion of an old Connecticut famil}’.
Both Bout well, of Massacliuse ts,
and ctewart L. Woodford, of New
York, came very near to being in
President Arthur's place.
A member of the recent legisla
ture has written to inquire if he can
secure space. Referred to the com

General Wallace, our minister to
Turkey, drank toffee with the sultan.
The cups wcro without handles and

Mr. James A. W' eatherwood, of
Springfield, Ohio, says. Brown’s
Iron Bitters cured me of the worse
case ot dyspepsia man ever had. The
muscles of my stomach, liver and
bowels now seem so strong, I be
lieve I could almost digest petrified
cheese! 1 recommend it to all who
suffer ns did I.
Mr. Grange Noble, the head of the
detno ratic ticket in Pennsylvania,
has a furnace, a walch factory an
organ factory, an non foundry and
several other virtues.
Senator Jones, who shelters Pres
ident Arthur, wears a heard that
covers a large area of his shirt front
and completely conceals any little
artffice in the way of neckties.
Eastern papers say tint ex-Sena-
tor Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine, has
accepted the appointment of minis
ter to Spain, which President Gar
field made the day he was shot.
. Refering to Bon, well’s fitness for
& judgeship of the United States sir-
.M-omo court, the Buffalo News, says
that ‘a dead lawyer would be better
on the bench than this embalmed
politician.’
Minister Osborn, the representa
tive of the United States at Rio
Janeiro, is visiting friends in Kansas
and .Missouri. He has been resting
in not very good nealth. He is for
ty five years old, portly and very
g^y-
is. One hundred and ten thousand
pictures, of various kinds, of Gen ral
Garfield were sold in Philadelphia
within six weeks. Ten thousand
each of the portraits of the elder and
younger Mrs. Garfield were also
sold.
Mr. Walter H. Page, of the New
York World, arrived in the city
yes.erday. He has been unavoida*
bly detained in St. Louis, but now
that, he is on the ground, he will
proceed to sit up with the exposi

The New York life insurance com-
pa• y in which President Garfield
had a policy for $25,000 draped their
building in mourning on the occasion
of his death and placed on the out
side the suggestive placard, “we
mourn our loss.’’
Sir Frederick Roberts, the hero of
the march from Ur.bul to Candahar,
was the most observed ot the guest
at the recent German maneuvers,
The emperor treated him with spe
cial distinction, and the crown prin
ces, who attended the review on
liorsebao , rode frequently beside the
English soldier.
In pursuance of the call for an
extra session. Senators have nearly
all arriyed and each party is in cau
cus lo day to a?rje or disagree on a
programme of organization. I will
not attempt to predict what will be
the outcome of the special election
for which the extra session was cal
led for fear the wires may prove me
a false propnet before tiiis is put in
type. But, beneath tie enforced
calmness which both parties feel is
befitting this sad crisis, smoulders
much excitement. In electing a
President of the Senate it is realized
that a possible president of the Uni
ted States will he made. It is idle
to say that such a thing is not pro
bable. The tragic occurences of the
last tnree months have educated peo
ple to anticipate the improbable. If
there shall be a long and bitter fight
over this usually unhonored office,
it will be because senators realize
that but one life stands between it
and such power as few sorvereigns
sway. If a Detaocrit shall te elect
ed then, it is possible that, without
the din and tiwmoil of a presidential
election, but by the extinction of a
frail human life the political admin
istration of tire country may be
changed.
The situation is generally and par
ticularly interesting in Washington.
The President has returned to the
Jones Mansion but is inaccessable
to the ordinary politican and office
seeker, especially those of the vulgar
Guiteau type. He has given out
that Cabinet officers must make ap
pointments in their several Depart
ments and that he will not listen to
aspirants for petty places. This is
certainly a man in the right direction
It will relieve the President of the
chief annoyance of his high position
such annoyance as the heads of oth
er nations will not and ought not
tolerate. Of course there will be
much complaint andjcriticism to the
effect that an American President
is assuming undemocratic airs and
seeking the haughty s elusion of
European potentates. But looked
at rightly, Prisidcnt Author can
serve the interests of fifi.y millions
of people in a much broader and
more democratic way i f he will snub
the ten thousand beats who come
begging for office, thus refusing to
selffsti ihdmTuaTsTliat ttme that he
owes not to a man, not even to a
party, but to the whole country. It
will doubtless require some time to
teach the thick skinned office seek
ing world that t e President of the
United States has something else to
do than to appoint them to lucrative
sinecures. But President Author
must at the outlet be credited with
strategical skill. Instead of going
to the W hite House, which has al
ways been a resort for office seekers
he is staying at the private residence
of Senator Jones. This is calculated
to throw the office seeker off the se
cret to confuse him, and make him
despondent. But this is not the
worst. In a few days the President
will remove to Soldiers Home, a
beautiful park three miles from the
city. The mob of office seekers who
come her* every winter about the
beginning of the Congressional ses
sion cannot reach him there because
not one in a hundred can hire a car •
riage and they wilt not walk three
miles in the mud.
The best preventive of consump
tive diseases of the lungs, bowels or
kidneys is Brown’s Iron Bitters. It
checks all decay. -
Willie P. Herrick is a New York
boy. He recently proposed, through
the New York Evening Post, that
the children of America raise a fund
by small subscriptions to establish a
‘Garfield home in the country for lit
tle sick children.' The Century
compa y have offered to receive and

President Arthur has a nephew
who has been bouse hunting in New
York city, and has concluded to let
to him his Lexington avenue resi
dence so that his children will still
have a home in the city. His oldest
son has just entered Columbia col
lege.
