Garfield? temperate habits from boyhood up preparing for him a fine constitution has flitted ibi him a physique that very few men . possess. Few person could have rallied from such a shock, but the President, with his iron will,

whra told that he had one chance of recovery out of a thousand, replied: "I'll take that chance," and almost daily renews his determination, but, rays he: "If it is God's wish of me I am not afraid to die." And Mis. Garfield, that truest of all to the suffering President a husband to her. The woman for whom the Chief Magistrate of the greatest people on the globe would rather give his life "than be the cause of bringing on a relapse of her illness!" But the President is growing better, and the latest dispatches (8.30 A. M. yesterday) say that he is jnore com fortable than at any -time since the shooting. The tilling bells of a wet k ago now echo sounds of a rejoicing nation that her chief has been ppai -ed. It must not be forgotten hewev er that the crisis is not wholly passed, and that his system has still a stubborn fight to make with the disease, but there are grounds for stronger hope than any presented since the shots were fired.

W E EE LY TELEPHONE Walter 8. Bkadfutb, - Editor A REPUBLICAN PAPER . Published every Saturday "Morning. One Year, 75 Office: Over "Bee Hive"Store SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1881. The Editor is in no way reSDonsible for opinions that may be expressed by private persons in letters published in these columns. Daily Paper For the Summer Normal! It is the design of the teachers having charge of the Normal School at this place this summer, to conduct a a daily paper for the benefit of the students, providing it be the desire of those attending that the paper should be issued. It will involve but a slight expense to each member of the school, and will contain in each No. for the succeeding day, (1st) au outline of the lessons on the common school studies; (2nd) discussions on difficult and use ful points not mentioned in text books; (3rd) querists department; (4th) miscellaneous department cn educational topics. The type will be so arranged that, when the paper is folded, it will consist of leaves in the form of a book, which can be placed in a cov er and carried in the pocket for use m the school-room during the coming year. The paper will secure abiding results irom normal work, and will render the school fur more valuable than it can be made without the use of the iournal. It will disneime entire ty with the copying of lessons from the black -board, and, thus, will save for the student much, valuable time that can be devoted to study. Prof. McGee, our County Superintendent, says that the standard of scholarship has been raised throughout the State, and that all those who' hold only a six months' license should not fail to at tend the Normal, since, if they do not attend, there is great danger .that they will npt obtain license. In addition to efficient wall maps a vamable lunar telluric globe will be used constantly, as an aid in Geography, An excellent skeleton will be kept before thePhysiology class during their hours of recitation. Historical maps will be used to facilitate the teaching of U, S. History. Prospects for the Normal are excellent.

Not since the time of the assassination of Lincoln has such intense in terest excited the people a the attempt to take the life of our PresidentThe first word received was from Craig Hunter, briefly saying "President Assaasinated" This was followed bybullitins from Washington. At 7:30 Saturday evening a dispatch stating, "The President died at 7:10 this evening" was received. Immediately the citells were tolled and a meeting was called at the Court house, and arrangements made for a meeting Sunday after noon. It is not easy to imagine the surprise and joy when woid came two hours later that Garfield's condition was improved. Citizens crowded around the bulletin board at the Post Oflke till two o'clock in the morning, and all day Sunday, as better news tame a "Thank God!" went up from every lip. All week the bulletin has been closely watchd, and an unequal de mand lor papers hap been made. Prayers were offered in all the chinch es Sunday. Unabated interest will continue till the President -is out of danger, which will not be for several weeks yet.

MUDrcV 'Sense' and Tliat 'Paace.' To ihe Editor of the Telephone: I see you have opened your columns to this discussion and inserted an article from one who is so manly and brave as to personate another by name, with grave insinuations, and then hid his own name. He sign himself "Sense," leaving off his praenomen which, judging from the article must be "non." He says he is "opposed to dancing anywhere, and especially in the State University," Then why not stand by his principles? Wny sensure honest men who oppose it conscientiously? But why is he opposed to it? Simply because it is corrupting. Then why blame others who try hard to stay its deadly tide? Is it mere smoke to defend purity and principle? He says there are oome corrections in Dr. Webb's sermon that should be made. One is that the dance seemed 'to be previously arranged." This was the speakers language incidentally thrown. Then he goes on to tell that they did not dance till after supper, but it was announced before supper. Then there was an understanding and an arrangement sometime previous to the dancing. This proves conclusively that there was a pre-ar-rangemensof that much time at least, and rumor says more. He then goes on to "defy any one to name a single pereon" who knew anything of or had any intention of the dance until it was suggested by stkangeks after refreshments that evening. He then turns clear around and admits that Mr. R. C. Foster did "know," "thine" and "intend ' &o stronelv that he announc ed it publicly to all the eueats. What brilliant reason and masterly logic!. tie aiso says that "Mr. roster did say that u l-rot wy lie didn't care they ranznt dance, but said it in such a wat that no person ever though of the matter until strangers begun it." He puts the responsibility into the hands of Prof. Wy lie personally, who is Vice resident, and yet declares that not a professor was present. What a mtv he did not tell us what that way" i f announcement was, Here is a mast erly stroke of oratory, for a graduate who was a member of the Exucitive committee: to publicly announce a thing to duu alumni in such a way "that no person ever thought of it" This must be a lost art restored. How comes it that memory faded just at the nour lor dancing, but it is clearly remembered by all every since? "Sense" has shown us how easy it is tor a man to set a trap and then catch his own fcot in it. Mr. Foster is an aluumnuB and a man of intelligence, knowing the use of language and the meaning of words. He knew full well what he said and the meaning of every word. Strangers are not responsible for that dance. They never made a move tor perhaps an hour after it Was publicly announced bv a resident A IS J 1 " alumnus and memuer of the Exucitive committee. I learn ajso that two other members consulted to gether and decided to "let them dance-." Here were three members .in harmonv on the subject. Your correspondent afeo . a a that not a single member of the faculty or Board of Trustees was present, then admits that Dr. Wylie was there even when the dance was announced. Eve witnesses sav thnt nflim members of these bodies were presci t when the 'lance was announced an lhat some stayed late. How many ii them will come out and deny it? Am one of these could have stopped tha disgraceful attain at the time of n nonncement but not one of them rL - ed a voice against it. Truly there i? one side who herald this matUi abroad, loud and long, in naiiers both in and out of the State. He would that they had a little "sense" thai they might exercise some prudence.. He says it is all over and should uever be snokeu of arain. Not so. "a Hit1 leaven leivemt the whole lump'and its intluen still lives to damage the morals of our vouth. and to hint, the fair name of our noble University, heralded to the world by the alumni themselves. Rev. Webb stood up like a moral break to tstay this tide ana many others: are doing the same.

or nonsense, asks "What. the object of this discussion? "Is it to benefit the University, or is it to gratify a personal spite?" I would answer by asking him a question or two. Is there such a thing as love for humanity independent of spite? Ia there such a thing as condemning wrong for the good of society? Is it. manly to cover and apologise for the si as oi man or an institution because it brings us money? What shall we call such a lo ve of money? Is there nothing higher or stronger in Christian hearts than the fear of men or the love of praise? Ho objects to dancing and knows it is corrupting to relimon and morals,y,et spends his time on the streets and now in print in apologising and defending.it He condemns anyone who condemns the dance; It is poison to purity. I will ask him who is the friend of of our University, those who thrust poison into it or those who protest Those who say "hush!" and let the poison work on or he will abuse you, or they ho love the institution. Let history tell, let the future of the Universisy tell, let purity of character tell who are the friends and v, ho the enemies. A man ci n soon know who is his friend the one who thrusts poison into his mouth, Ov he who strikes down the poisenouF hand. Don't call it a "smoky trifle"1 nen our oiate University is degraded into a dancing hall. When under the high sanction ot sehola&tte culture our young men and maidens in the midst of our most public and popular social gathering are thrust into the arms ot common dancers. Let not one who presitentlv defends suidi di graceful conduct Urn around and pn - ross opposition to the corrupting in fluence of the bail-room and socia dance. "Wisdom is justified of her cniiareu."
