Tho stock quotations of "Ohio men" are beginning to fall. The Democrats of tho Buckoyo State have themselves gone out of the sacred circle, and nominated J. W. Bookwaiter, a native Hoosier, for Governor. This breaks the fatal charm, and we may now expect to sec the phenomenal Buckeye boom steadily decline to its normal state. There are exceptions to all rules, heneo we are able to state that all murderers who expiate their crimes on the gallows, do not die with tho assertion on their tongues that they are going straight to Abram's bosom in the Kingdom of the blest. A Negro murderer recently hung in Arkansas declared among his last words, .according to the press reports, that he was "no religious nigger, and was not afraid to die." The right kind of an evangelist did not get hold of him. Ex-Senator Bruce is a constant visitor at the White Ilouse. Three times a day he calls and loaves a pleasant word to cheer the family, and joins with them in the sincere wish that the President may recover.

Baltimore American. President Garfieli continues to improve, and is almost universally regarded as being out of danger, though his physicians - have not yet pronounced him safe. lie is gaining strength and sleeps better every day, and there is little room now to doubt his complote recovery. Preparations are being made to give him a sea voyage as1 soon as he is sufficiently strong to be removed from the White Ilouse. He will be taken down Ches apeake Bay and up the Atlantic to Long Branch. He will no doubt be strong enough to attend to executive duties in a month from now.

After the President's com plete recovery, and he (Guiteau) is rigged out in his zebra suit and put to work as permanent vault cleaner at the Albany Peniten tiary he will begin to realize the fact that there are several "bigger" men in tho world than himself. WASHINGTON LETTERS. Fditerial Correspondence. Washington, D. C., July 18, 1881. -A great weight has been lifted from all hearts by the almost absolute asuranco of the President's recovery. Attention is now directed to tho vil lain Giteau. Tho feeling is universal that there is not room for him to re main any great length of time on this mundane sphere, buch an assault on I A tho lifo of any man ought to be pun ishablo with death, and doubly so when the executive or the Nation is uvvnv. - 7 of Charleston, S. C, has attempted to cum favor with the administra t;on by claiming that the Southern Vhites have been very much affected w General Garfield's assassination, wüjl0 the colored people havo been indifferent. Hon. D. A. Straker, in a communication to the National republican of this city, exposes tho gamo by showing that the colored people of Charleston wero the first to give public mani festation of their i sympathy. Tho charge, however, needed no denial. Nobody but the brute who controls the columns of the News and Courier, has dared to make such an infamous insinuation with referenco to . . 1q FrQm colored Church in in the land, fervent prayers have asI cended for the President s recovery.

Among no class of tho American people has there been more real, unaffected sorrow for tho President, and his stricken family, than among the colored peoplo, from tho highest to the lowest classes, and" tho dastard who attempts to gainsay this fact is but little less infamous than Guiteau himself.

July 20. "All that glitters is not gold," may bo truthfully appliecd to Washington, The mass of the resident inhabitants of this city belong to the old slave-holding class, and they are still full of tho fiendishncss which mado them sen shackled men and defenseless women and babes for alivclihood, until tho government put a' stop to it. They have a peculiar antipathy toward cultured colored people, arid I am sorry to say that they aro aped in this by many Northern snobs who, by tho fluctua tions of politics, have been placed in prominent positions hero by the aid of colored people. A colored gentle man can not get a meal in what aro termed tho first class restaurants of Washington. This gives to white employes in tho government service a decided advantage over colored employes. A white clerk can furnish a room and by taking his meals at a restaurant, save from fclUOto fczUU in tho year. Congress should adopt some sort of a license system that will break up this infamous discrim ination. Of course, to those who have never been subiected to the in convenience of a dark skin, this may seem a trifling matter, but no colored gentleman can visit the capital of his country without feeling keenly the sting, and the deep disgrace which attaches to a government permitting such outrages under the very shadows of its capital. July 21. The announcement a couple of weeks ago of a "grand excursion to Fortress Monroe, Norfolk and the Capes," to leave here last Saturday and return in time lor busi ness hours Monday morning, caused a ripple among. the pleasure seekers Learning that Washington "uppertendom" would turn out en masse, and having received a very cordial invitation from friends, I determined to take in the excursion. At 7 o'clock Saturday evening I made my way to the dock at the foot of 7th street, where I found an immense concourse of people. The scene was very like the departure of one of our ; Louisville excursions Iioni the Union Depot. The excursion was under the direct management of fifteen gentlemen, who spared no pains to make every one comfortable and happy. The "Jane Mosely," one of the fleetest and best boats on the Po tomac, had been chartered for the oecasion. At S o ciock. wun iour nundred gay pleasure seekers on board, the Mosely weighed anchor and bent her brave prow toward the Chesapeake. The merry laughter and cho ruses of sweet music, and the waving of handkerchiefs, and the jolly goodbyes to tho friends on shore, made the occasion truly delightful. The trip was not entirely new to me, and I was the möre anxious to take it because I hoped to see some reminders of my voyage when I was "a wcarin' of the blue." Fanned by the gentle breezes, our voyage down the river was a very pleasant one iudeed. After a glorious sleep we awoke to find ourselves at sunrise steaming out on the broad bosom of the Chesapeake. Soon tho grand old Fortress hove in sight, with its humble companion, the solitary old "Ilip-raps,"which used to be the terror to evil doers among the soldiers during the War. The "liipraps," as you know, is a small island in the Chesapeake, opposite Fortress Monroe, and commanding the en trance to Hampton Itoads amagnin cent haven, in which, it is said, the fleets of tho world could float in safetyThe Government erected a fort on this island which was used during the war as a prison in which the most desperato of disorderly Union soldiers were confined. It is simply a barren isle without a foot of soil or a green sprig upon it. It is, indeed, a desolate looking place. It was at one time thought that the place would become the most important fortress in the United States, but I am informed that the engineers have decided that a great fortress can not bo erected on 1 ii -a il 1 .1 !. 1 it, ana inaii me isiuiiu utteu is gruuually disappearing. I was sorely tempted to. leave the party at tho Fortress, and spend the day in seeing the sights there and visiting the Hampton Normal and Industrial School. If I had done so I am sure I could have given you a more interesting letter, but my desire to havo a good time and to see the ancient city of Norfolk prevailed over my eense of duty to the readers of tho Leader, and when the whistle blew I could not resist tho temptation to go aboard. It is but truthful, however, that I should state that my going on was in no small part duo to the pressing request of some handsome young ladies,who had apparent ly taken an interest in me, knowing me, as they did, to bo a stranger, and considering me a sort of an orphan, deserving-of sympathy and encouragement. We reached Norfolk at i tr T I ' iu:au. l receiveu a very pressing iu vitation from Mr. Minkens, a prom inent gentleman of the city, to be his

guest, in company with a number of others. Supposing Norfolk to be a

mere village instead of a city, 1 promised to find him and started out with some friends to look at tho town. Wo got lost and hunted in vair for the house of our - Iriend, and finally determined to compensate for our loss by a sail down tho river in a pleasure yacht and asurt bath. 11ns wo enjoyed immensely and returned just in time to board tho Mosely for our homeward trip. The people of Norfolk gave thoso who found tho right place a royal ro ception. A magnificent dinner was served; and everything possible was dono to make the visitors happy. It was expected that we would visit Portsmouth, iust across the river from Norfolk, and preparations had been mado thero for U3 and a fine collation spread. Oniy a few, however, wont, knowing tho characteristic hospitality of Virginians, and the magnificent manner in which they entertain. I "reckon" I'll not 60on for get my loss. Norfolk has made vast improvement since the war, and, from being and insignificant post, has risen to bo tho sec ond cotton market in tho world. This, it is said, is largely due to tho influence of General Mahono,who, by skillful management of his railroads, has largely diverted the cotton trade from Memphis and New Orleans. ".Norfolk is a beautiful city, and, in many things, is copying Northern enterprise. On some of tho streets one imagines himself in Washington. We left Norfolk at 3:30 p.m., and r. i soon aller a severe gaio Diew up, making the bay so rough that it was decided not to visit the Capes. Stup ing at rortress Monroe, we took on board the members of tho party who left us in the morning. I availed nyselfofthe short stop to take a little run through the old fort, but had scarcely got ready to inspect one of the big guns when the Whistle hurried . us back to the boat. A gay ride of fourteen hours brought us into port at Wash ington at 7, Monday morning. The trip was one of the most enjoyable 1 ever took, and I owe so much of my good time, to so many kind ladies and gentlemen, that 1 forbear to name an3r, lest I might by omission do in justice. Suffice it to say that 1 am very favorably impressed with the young ladies and gentleman of AVashington. The ladies are beautiful, accomplished and . good, and tho gentlemen aro chivalrous tonicety7 1 shall give you some Washington personals in my next, and about the last of this month 1 shall visit Richmond and, will give you in full my impressions of the GREAT RAILROAD PROJECT. Articles of Association of the Mexican In ternational Railroad General Grant, Jay Gould and Other Prominent Railroad Men Are Its Directors. Albany, July 21. Articles of association of the Mexican, Oriental, Interoceanic and International Railroad Company have been received by the Secretary of State and laid before the Governor for" approval. The articles state that on the 7th of June, 1881, a contract was entered into between Mexico and the International Railway Improvement Company, granting certain rights and powers and subsidy in aid of the construction and operation of the railroad and telegraph branches within the Republic of Mexico. The contract provides that said rights and powers could be transferred to one or more companies which might be organized or that purpose. The Internal Railway Improvement Company does not contemplate a permanent maintenance and operation of the railroad and telegraph, but only the construction of the same for other companies or individuals.

EW 4 3 & Most articles above nam d are now to be H WOMEN OF THE HOUR. MRS. LUCRETIA GARFIELD, WIFE OF THE PRESIDENT. In presenting to our readers the portrait of the first lady iu the land, it is a source of the most profound sorrow to us, as it is to the whole civil ized world, that the sunshine lias been so suddenly stricken out of her life by the hand of au assassin, and that, too, while she seemed standing on the threshold of one of the most glotious futures known to her sex on this wide Continent. Although dire the calamity which has just be fallen her and the Nation, and though terrible the ordeal through which she is now passing, they do not involve all her claims upon our sym pathy. As a noble and self-sacrificing wife, a fond and aflectionate mother, and a kind and unwavering friend, 6he stands out in bold relief also, eliciting that unfeigned admiration and heartfelt respect accorded so generally to the pure and the good who may have attained to high position in any relation whatever. Mrs. Garfield, whose maiden name was Lucretia Rudolph, was born near Hiram, Portage County, Ohio, in 18C7. She was the daughter of a respecta ble farmer who had sufficient means to afford her an excellent education, and whose surroundings indicated a love of refinement not generally ob servable among the sparse population of the place. From her cnuanood sne was tnougnuui,.atniable and industrious; and as she grew in years her intellectual bias became so marked, and its fruiti so promising, that all her friends and family enterJ . I A . i L l . 1. .1 A laincu, wuiiouv ueMiauon, ine origin nopes uihi have, long since, been more than realized. In 1858. Ml5s Rudolph, who had been studying at the Academy In which President Garfield was then a Professor, became the wire ot the latter. The match was one purely of love, inasmuch as neither party was overburdened with wealth. They had, however, what was better and more enduring brave, sturdy and honest hearts, sustained by a spirit of truth and love, as well as by the supporting arm of a liberal education. From the moment tn t tne nupnai Knot was tica, Mrs. Garfield set about the business of life more seriously than ever, could such have been possi ble, and at once began wreathing with nowersthe vcke she had assumed with such purity and affectionate strength of soul. Modest as were their means, Bhe made their first new home one of sunshine and love. And when a young family began to gather round her hearth-stone, 6he commenced that course of fireside education and tiaining which has proved so eminently successful all the world over that system of maternal culture and care to which some of even the greatest mmas of the age have freely confessed their indebtedness. Nor was she a helpmate to her noble partner In one or two relations only; for, from time to time, if report speaks truly, it was nis naou in any circumstances vi difficulty. to draw upon her intellectual resources and uniainng ciear-signiennebs. uDviousiy, therefore, they were as one in all that was es sential to human happiness; and hence the everdeepening love and anection which has characterized their lives up to the present hour. It will not, then, be difficult to conceive of her dismay and auguish when, on Saturday the 2d day of this current monin, tne intelligence reached her at Elberton, N. J., that the President, her husband, was wounded,- but "not danger ously," by an assassin while entering the depot oi the Baltimore ana roiomac nanroau at asomgton. A few moments previously, delicate as was her health, her face had been radiant with joy; for on that flay she was to have joined the President with their children. iri New York, and proceed thence with him and some gentlemen of high official nosition, to pay a visit to several points oi interest East, and make a voyage along the coast of Maine as far as Mount Desert Island. In an instant the cup was dashed from her lips, and notwithstanding that the telegram couveying the dire intelligence was couched in language the most cautious and considerate, yet, with au instinct not 10 be battled by the guarded expressions of friends, she felt that some frightful calamity had befallen her and her family; and instantly flew on thawings of affection to the tedide of the illustrious Sufferer. The journey, although performed with almost the speed of the wind, was to her all but interminable; yet it came to a close, and at last she found herself bending in agony filled with despair over the sharer of her early joys aDd sorrows, now the Chief Executive of one of the mightiest Nations on earth. From that hour the subtle influence of her voice and presence seems to have supplemented the woudrous alchemy of the physicians in attendance which had already wrought miracles. There is no denying it. there are anodynes beyond the scope of mere physics, and which transcend all thecritical acumen of the most profound medical skill. And although no metapni-ical power can perform "a physical impossibility,"or "set to a leg or an arm," as FalstalF has it, yet there is, as alleged, that about it which sometimes enables us to bear the loss of the one or the other, and which possibly prevents any fatal result from the deprivation we have suffered. Let us hope then, that, in the case of the President, the undoubted medical and surgical skill of the distinguished gentlemen who now watch ko faithfully and ably over his life, may be supplemented to the happiest consummation by the mysterious magnetic influences born of the love nnd affection of his tender and loyal wife, as well as of the prayers and sympathy of all civilized peoples. Surelv such truth and loyalty as hers Bhould be crowned by the restoration to health and strength of him who is so worthy of her, and who has struggled so long and so bravely in the very jaws of death. For how, after all this frightful alternation between bitte agony and tremb

Washington Society. Washington Letter. It will be remembered that not so very long a. Count Herbert Bismarck, the most promising son of the great chancellor, ran off with the wife of a friend. Old man Bismarck was not particularly elated at the scandal, which caused the three historical hairs that still linger on the top of his otherwise bald head, to stand up with rage, like the quills of a fretful porcupine. He was mad. But he calmed down after a while, and it is now understood that the dead-lock lias been broken, and father and son have become reconciled. In the meantime, the injured husband api-ars to have found out that he was not needed any more, so he sued for a divorce. As all the parties were highly connected, and possessed great loeel inlluence; and as young Bismarck had no previous wife of his own to get a divorce from, the injured husband was granted what he asked for. It is now stated on pretty good authority that young Bismarck ingoing to be married to the divorced wife of a friend. He will probably be appointed German Ministerat Washington, and the happy couple will spend their official honeymoon at our National Capital. The reasons for this are sundry and divorce, so to speak. In the first place young Bismarck, it is asserted can not stay in Berlin. Whether this is because the injured husband is prowling about with a shotgun, we are not prepared to say. There is another reason why Bismack should be sent to Washington. It is probably, because the German Government is satisfied that he, having disgraced himself pretty effectually, would have more influence at Washington than anybody else. Emperor-William, probably, thinks that he would have considerable influence at a capital where such men as Conkling, Ben Hill, Cameron and old Christiancy have so much to say about public affairs. We can not see how it could be brought about; if Conkling, Hill and the rest were tobe banished all over the world, as foreign ambassadors, there can be no doubt but that the moral atmosphere of Washington would be purer, just as the moral atmosphere of Berlin is much better without than with young Bismark. Brave Old Jo. Some of your readers may be interested in reading the following account of the marvelous tenacity of life shown by a fox terrier under the following circumstances: On the 25th of May the dog was with my keeper in a wood. He made a bo:t after a rabbit which crossed the shooting path, and went into the covert after him. The keeper called and whistled, but Joe, usually the most obedient of dogs, answered . not, nor could he be found anywhere. For some days and nights search was made for poor Joe, for he is a great favorite. The search, however, was in vain, and Joe was given up as lost. My keeper had no doubt that the dog had got into a hole after the rabbit, and had by digging buried himself, and so perished. On the 7th of thi3 month some woodmen, at work in the next wood, heard a:, dog barking as if in distress. I heard the cries of the animal myself, and one of the men (the keeper's son) went in the direction of the sounds to see what was the matter. The sounds led him to a large rabbit run, and then the barking ceased. By putting his head to the ground he could distinctly hear the animal breathing. He ran for a "pick," and in a short time dug out poor old Joe, worn to a skeleton, his eyes choned with earth, and unable to stand. The dog had dug himself toward an outlet, and wnnld have got out, but was stopped by a root of a tree across the hole. The poor animal licked the man's hand to show his gratitude at being released, but had no strength to do more. He was taken to the keeper's house and fed sparingly at first He soon recovered, and is now brisk and well as ever. Joe was thirteen days and thirteen nights underground, and during that time could not have had a drop of water to drink, or anything to eat either, unless he devoured a rabbit, which is not likely. t Some remarkable statistics with reference to New Zealand have been contributed to an English contemporary.' In the single Province of Canterbury agriculture has developed in a iruly marvelous manner dur ing a brief period. In 1870 the production of wheat there was 1,770,3G3 bushels; of oats, 2,888,(583 bushels; of barley, 620, G99 bushels, and of potatoes, 1,8'Jj tons, the total acreage under cultivation being 152,082. Last vear the acreage had increased to 389J29, the product being:4,4Gl,400 bushels of wheat, 7,776,275 of oats, 1,124,281 of bar ley and 37.4G6 tons of potatoes. Similarly with regard to sheep raising. It is said that there are in New Zealand at this moment 12,000,000 sheep; a hundred, years ago there were twenty-nine. j The gentle wife is ever ready to share the burdens of life with her busband.
