S'jcting

After fifty years of the most sanctified widowhood and sublime devotion to her family, all of whom were left helpless orphans on her struggling hands, she had the ineffable happiness of seeing the noble lessons of industry, morality and religion which she had taught them, crowded with more than success and beheld with pride und joy the son who had so long and ardently loved her, and who was, in turn, the apple of her eye, raised to the? highest dignity in the gift of the nation, and beloved and honored universally. It was her compensation for all the tears and pravera and suflerings that bad characterized her early narrow circumstances. when she was struggling from morning till night to make his future creditable, alike to his country, his kindred and himself. In his marked career, both as a statesman and a soldier, and in his thinl elevation to the proudest honor that can fall to the lot of an American citizen, *lie recognized the benigu and helping hand of heaven. But lo! scarcely hud the tears of unspeakable joy and gratitude filled her aged eyes—scarcely had the ecstatic voice of thanksgiving died on her trembling lips, as she saw him emerge from the great masses of the commonwealth and ascend the loftiest pedestal known to the Constitution, when the glorious vision was swept with lightning speed from before her raptured gave, aud all was darkness and blood!

Tiiis noble American matron has lived to some pui pose, and benefitted by the lessons of virtue, morality and the hope of heaven which she had early taught her children. 8h- has never attempted to arraign the dccress of Providence, but baa bowed submission to the will ot heaven believing that "all things work together for good." Coasequently in tnis the hour of her dire distress, she will •3ook beyond the precincts of this world for compensation touching any case that may be heartrending and inexplicable to her here. This dimple and exalted philosophy will sti.slain her under all circumstances, and enable her to drain this bitter cup with forituile, unless heaven in its compassiou should suatcli it from her lips.

When it thought our I'rosidcn would survive but a few hours we prepared a short account ot his life in anticipation of the mournful event which seemed to be so near. These facts we are glad to present as biographical instead of obituary and the story is not the less interesting that the hero is still alive, ludeed every daj' that our noble President has battled in his heroic contest tor life ho has become more and more the object of the people's love and admiration. It seems like very* high climbing from the position of a poor boy to the Presidency of the United States, but his office does not mark his •elevation now, and he looks down farther from his high po.-rilion of hetoic martyr don. to the Presidency than he formerly •did from the Presidency to the humble position of his earlier years.

During the nine weeks since his attempted assassination, from honoring the President we have come to love the man, for lie has so outgrown his office that the President seems small by the side of the man and our regret of a political disaster has been superceded by the feeling of personal iuterest in the fate of the sufferer. Never before has a man been held so closely and so tenderly to the hearts of the people from their President he has come to be their patient, and doubtless now realizes that from the Presidency to a bed ot pain was the highest step of promotion he has ever taken.

THE LIFE OF JAMES A GARFIELD. JWClDENTS OK A 8TKIRING CAREER, SET

TING OUT FROM THE HUMBLEST BEGINNINGS.

Gen. Garfield's birth in Ohio and his political career have strongly identified hia family with that State. .He came however, of New England ancestry, la 1785 one Edward Garfield emigrated from the neighborhood of Chester, and settled in Watertown, Mass. It is said that on his way over to this country he married a German |girl, and this dash of Qermun blood in theifamily may account' for James A. Garfield's strong taste -for the German language and literature. Tlie entire family remained in -Watertown

Could we but comprehend the depth of the agony, or analyze the hopelessness of the feelingH which should, humanly speaking, pervade the whole being of the venerable and benign lady whose portrait graces ye', suddens our pages to-day, should her first fears be realized, our philosophizing on tlipoint would be greut[y embarrassed. "What, compensation can there le for herewe shall be ready to exclaim and, so far as a mere mateiialistic view of the case is concerned,—what compensation indeed?

•JL.

1766, when a part of it removto Weston, Mass. Abraham Garfield took pat in the battle of Concord and his brother Solomon Garfield, was also a Revolutionary soldier. The former and on*: John Hoar, the great-grandfather of Senator John F. Hoar, Chairman of the Convention which nominated James A. Garfield for President, signed tlicir uam?s ia 177 in

doc

ument stating that ilie British troops fired without provocation tha fir^u olley at Concord At the close of the Revolution, tSolomon Garfield, wbo like his ancestors, was a farmer, purchased a small farm near Worcester, Oswego Countv, New York. His son Thomas married Asenath Hill, a half-sister {of Samuel Russell, at one time clerk of the county, and from this union was born in December, 1799 Abram Garfield the father of the President.

Abram married Eliza Ballou, a connection ot Hosea Ba'lou, one of the loun dersof Universalism in America. Not long after their marriage the jcouple re moved to the township of Orange, Cuyahoga County, in Northeastern Ohio Almost all of this part of the state was at that time still covered with dense forests, and the Garflelds were obliged to clear the land for their larming. They built a log cabin twenty feet by thirty, and in this cabin Jamts Abram Garfield was born on the 19th of November, 1831. There were three elder children. Oue was Thomas Garfield, then nine years old the others were sisters, seven and eleven years old. The family was well-to-do, having no more than enough to live on plainly, but all were batdy and strong.

When James was but two years old his father died late in the autumn, and all through the uevere winter the children were obliged to rely upon their mother for support. In spring a debt was to be paid, and a part of the larm had to go in payment. The thirty remaining acres were cultivated by Thomas and the brave mother, who is said to have split rails aud fenced the lot on which the cabin stood. It is related that many years afterwards, when Pret-ident Lincoln read several dispatches mentioning Garfield in laudatory terms, he asked, "Did he ever split rails?" "I am not sure he ever split rails,' said a bystander, 'but I know his mother did."

HR1BF AND INTERRUPTED SCHOOL DAYS.

Two years after the father's death Thomas Garfield was hired by a neighboring farmer to work at $12 a month. From the first week's wages he paid in part for the first pair of shoes his brother James wore, the shoemaker taking the rest in board. Thomas also paid part of the cost of his younger brother's schooling. The school-house was about a mile and a half distant, and as James was only five years old, his sister, Mehitable, often carried him there on her back. The village, which then consisted of a little cluster of houses, was called Chagrin Falls. A mill was built there in early spring by ene of the first settlers. But when summer came the stream dried up, and from this circumstance the place derives its name.

The distance to school was so great, and Mrs. Garfield, who had herself taught her sons, was so anxious that James should have every facility for learning that her limited means could afford, that she offered the village a little plot of ground on her farm on condition that a school house should be built on it. James was quick at learning, although he was very reckless. This recklessness was a characteristic which he retained through life. When ho was twelve years old his brother returned lrom Michigan, where he had been employed by a farmer to make clearings, with money enough to build a frame house. James assisted him and did so well that one'of the joiners advised him to follow carpentering as a trade. During the next two years he worked regularly as a carpenter, going lo school only at intervals, but studying diligently in spure urs at home. He mastere a text-book on grammer, arithmetic and geography, end as after years of carpentering he had not got beyond barn building, he concluded lo try to turn his wits to better account. He assisted in putting up some frame additions at a black-salt establishment not far from Cleveland, and the proprietor had noticed him figuring over some measurements and reading and writing in his spare moments.

Edmund Rirke says that one day the proprietor stepped up to GHr/leld with the remark, "you kin read, you kin write, andyou are death on figgers so stay with me, keep my 'counts, and tend to the saltery. I'll find you »ind give you $11 a month." He accepted the offer, which brought him an income larger than any hehad ever received, and remained at the saltery for some time, satisfied himself and satisfying his employer. One dar, however, a member of the family spoke of him as a servant. A few hours afterwards Garfield threw up his place.

FOUR MONTHS AT CABALLING." He now took odd jobs, among them one to chop twenty-five cords of wood tor a farmer near Cleveland, for which he received seven dollars. While he had lived at the black salter's he had come across a number of sea tales, which awakened in him a strong desire to become a siilor. He went to Cleveland and applied to several oaplains of schooners, but he loosed every inch a countryman, and was unsuccessful. Disheartened by his failure, and yet wanting some aquatic occupation, he went at last to his cousin Amos Letcher, who owned a boat on the Ohio and Pennsylvania Canal, and the boy who bAd been dreaming of a sailor's life was engaged to drive a canal boat team. Some of Garfield's experiences while coaching the Evening

Star are related by Captain Letcher himself. "Jim," says the captain, "was at the first lock with bis team, ready to liitch on, and we were off in a jiffy. Soon we met a boat, and somehow or other the driver* got their lines tangled. The impetus ot eur boat had carried her up even with the horses. aud as there was a wastvway a few rods ahead my steersman called out,'Hallo, Jim! Whip up your horses, or yeur line will ketch on the bridge!' Ho Jim be cracks up hia whip, and his team starts off on a trot but as the team was at the middle of the bridge the line tightened and jerked horses, driver, aud all 'into the canal. It came very near drowning the whole pile, but Jim managed te scramble oat. When be came up to the boat I asked him, 'Well, Jim, what were you doing in the •canal!"

41'Taking

he answered.

WORKING HIS WAY TO COLLEGE. He had saved a little money, and what was wanting towards paying for his instruction was supplied by his brother ThomaB. "Accompanied by a cousin and another young man from the neighborhood," says Mr. Kirke, "and supplied by his mother with a few pots, frying-pans, and dinner plates, he set out for Chester, where the academy was located. The three young men rented a room in an old, unpainted building near the academy, and, with their cooking utensils, a few dilapidated chairs, loaned by a kindly neighbor, andj some strawticks, which they spread upon the floor to sleep on, they set up housekeeping—for they were too poor to pay board as well as tuition

Garfield now paid his own way by taking odd jobs from carpenters on Saturday ana in the evening. During the summer he made enough money by chopping wood to pay his board for the next academy term the price lor his board, washing and lodging being $1.06 a week. In the fall of this term he first met Lucretia Rudolph, whom he afterwards married. English grammar, natural philosophy, arithmetic, and algebra were his principal studies, and he soon had sufficient knowledge of them to teach in a district school. For three years he confined his work at the academy at the school, and in thecarpenteis' shop, in autumn aud winters, and in the woods in the summer, thus managing not only to pay his expenses at the academy, but to save something towards defraying the cost of a college education Then he applied for admission to the Electic Insti tute at Hiram, Portage County. The manner of his application to the trustees is told by Frederick Williams, one of their number: "The Board was in session with closed doors when the doorkeeper entered, and announced that a young man as waiting at the door, and very anxious to see the Board without delay. No objections being made the voung man was admitted Entering he saia: 'Gentlemen, I want an education, and would like the privilege of making the fires and sweeping the floors-of the building to pay part of my expanses/ The Board took him at his word, and ho was allowed to pay his tuition by doing the janitor's work."

He was noted for his readiness in debate at the College Lyceum. He worked well at his studies, and before long became an assistant teacher. He is said to have possessed the faculty of entertaining and interesting his scholars aud to have been apt at pertiuent illustrations aud specially painstaking with scholars of slow comprehension. He gave instruction principally in the English branches, but he also taught mezzotint drawing, in which lie had considerable skill. A lady who was a student at the college at the time has the drawing of a cross upon which he did some shading and finishing touches. Upon the margin is Garfield's name and his pupil's in the former's handwriting.

While at Hiram College Garfield joined the Church of Disciples. This sect has a church in this city and churchcs in large cities of the Union but its principal membership is found in West Virginia Kentucky, and Ohio. It was founded by Alexander Campbell. One of his scholars during his second term at llinuu College was Miss Lucretia Rudolph.

A BACHELOR OF ARTS AND MARRIED.

After three years spent at Hiram the young man qualified to enter the junior class of one of the higher colleges, and applied to '.lie presidents of several of them for information. A friendly postcript attached to the answer he received from President Hopkins, of Williams College, led him to sciect that institution. "By those who knew Garfield at this time," says Mr. Kirkc, "he is described as a tall, awkward youth, with great shock of light hair rising nearly erect from a broad, high forehtaJ, and an open, kindly and thouchtful face, which showed no traces of his loug struggle with poverty and privation. His classmates still speak of his prodigious indus try, his cordial, hearty and social ways, and the great zest with which he entered into all the physical exercises of the students. He soon became distinguished as the most ready and effective debater in the college, and one occasion on which he displayed these peculiar abilities is specially mentioned. Charles Sumnei had been stricken down in the Senate chamber by Brooks, of South Carolina, and the news reaching the college caused great excitement among the studtnts. An indignation meeting was that evening held among them, and mouuting the platform, Garfield—so says ray informant, who was himself one of the students —delivered 'one of the most impassioned and eloquent speeches that was ever heai in olil Williams."'

He filled up his vacations while at Williams College by teaching in neighboring towns. In North Pownal lit taught penmanship in the same room where wo year* before Chester-A. Ar liur had

taught the common Eugliah branches. In 1856, when twenty-five years old, be was graduated. Immediately afterward he was made instructor of Qreek and Latin at liiram. In 1858 he married Mis* Lucretia ltudolpb, wh» was not only hiscotnpauion but an able assistant. Frequently, when be was obliged to prepare speeches hastily, she, iu common with their friendv Alssed* Booth, looked up for him authorities and quotations.

THE TERRE HATJTE WEEKLY, GAZETTE.

An incident, still remembered by the moved, after the readirg of the PresiOhio river boatmen at Beaver is the fight Garfield had wi one Murphy, a big burly boat hand. A rope was thrown to Garfield from the steamboat which was to take the Evening Star in tow. Somehow or other Garfield failed to catch the ropo. It whirled over his shoulder and carried Murphy's hat off. Murphy rushed up to Garfield and struck at him. The bor parried the blow and planted his fist behind Murpty's ear, felling him at once. Having been on the canal-boat four tnonlhs and fallen into the water fourteen times, barely escaping with his life on the last occasion, he made up his mind that "sailoi lift" was not so pleasant as he had pictured it to himself, and he went home with the determination to go to school again.

dent's call for 75,900 men, that 20,000 men and $5,000,090 be voted as the quota of the State. Governor Dennison soon afterward offered him the command of one of the Ohio regiments.

Soon after he was placed by General Buell in command of the force which checked General Humphrey Marshall's advance through Kentucky. On January 30,1862, General Buell issued an order thanking Colonel Garfield and his troops lor their successful campaign. Shortly aftc Colonel Garfield was ap|Kinted brigadier-general of volunteers, aud was ordered to join the Army of the Cumberland. He participated in the battle of Shiloh, arriving during the second day's fight. He was with Buell around Corinth, and on the army's subsequent march through Northern Alabama. While he was in camp, after the battle of Shiloh, a fugitive slave took reluge with the Union soldiers. A few moments later theowner rode up and demanded his property. General Garfield was not present, and the slaveholder passed on to the division cmmander, who ordered Garfield by "written order to deliver the fugitive. Garfield answered by simply endorsing on the order: "I respectfully but positively decline to allow my command to search for or deliver up any fugitive slaves. I conceive that they are here for quite another purpose."

General Garfield's position was sustained by a general order subsequently issued by the war Department. In August, 1862, he was put in command of the lorces at Cumberland Gap, but his health failed, and he was obliged to go North on sick leave. On his recovery he was appointed a member of the Fitz John Porter court-matial, and afterward he again joined the Army of the Cumb rland. His last service was it the battle of Chickamauga.

A fortnight later he was commissioned major-general "for gallant conduct and important services."

TIIE YOUNGEST MEMBER OP CONGR133.

In the meantime he had been elected to Congress from the Nineteenth District of Ohio, which for many yeare had been represented bj Joshua Giddin^s. Doubtful whether to remain in the army or to take his seat, he went to President Lincoln for advice. Lincoln is reported to have said to him: "The Republican majority in Congress is very small, and it is even doubtful whether we can carry the necessary war measures and, besides, we are greatly lacking in men of military exqenence in the House to, regulate legislation about the army. 'It is your duty, therefore, to enter Congress.

On December 5th., 1863, General Garfield took his seat, the youngest member of Congress. Because of his military ex perience, he was consulted by other Con gressmen on military affairs, and It was in the discussion of such measures that he became prominent. It was in this period of his life that Mr. Garfield won his first case as a lawyer, which was pleaded before no less a tribunal than the Supreme Court of the United States. He had been admitted to the bar in 1850, when he was President of Hiram college. He was about to resign that position and begin to practise law, when the breaking out ot the war called him to his short military career. That career ended he next ap peared in public life as a member of the Thirty-eighth Congress. He was re-elected to tin? next Congress, and was placed on the committe of Ways and Means,tto qualify himself for which he studied exhaustively on financial subjects. When again rc-elected, in iu 1866, he had become, in liis own party, an authority on all matters appertaining to finance.

In 1867, his health breaking down, he went abroad for relaxation, spending four months in Great Britain and on the Cootinent. 1118 LATER YEARS IN CONGRESS.

The inflation issue had come to the front when he again lan for Congress, and he was again re-elected as a hard money advocate. During his successive Congressional terms lie served as Chairman of the Committee on Military affairs, Chairman of the Committee on Banking and Currency, and Chairman of th«» Committee on Appropriates, occupying the latter position from 1881 to 1875. Th^ arrival of the Democrats to lo power then translated him lo the Committer of Ways and Means. It w.-w when he was a member of this committee, during the autumn of 1872 and succeeding winter, that he became mixed uj in the twin scandals the "salary grab" and credit mobilier." The effect of his connection with them resulted, at the next Congressional election. in his ever-increasing majority being cut down to twice as many bundled 9 as it had been thousands. In successive elections, however, he won back by degrees the confidence of the Western Reserve and by 1878 he was reelected by his old-time majority.

After the Presidential election of 1876 Mr. Garfield was prominent as one of the "visiting statesmen" to Louisiana, in which capacity he concerned himself particularly with the parish of West Feliciana.*

When the bill constituting the Electoral Commission came before Congress he opposed it on the ground that it was the duty of the Vice-Iovsident to count tile vote, and that the proposed counting by Congress was an act of usurpation, and voted against it. When, however, the bill constituting the Corr.minion passed he became a member of it, and voted with the majority on the various issues which resulted the declaration of Mr. Hayes of President.

fBESIDKKT OF TUE UNITED STATKS, His reward, apparently, was bis election as United Stales Senator from Ohio three years later. The following June he was

nominated by the Republican Convention, at Chicago tor the Presidency. His election followed in November. His Inauguration at Washington on Friday March 4, six months ago to-morrow, when* in his joy at his supreme elevation, he caught his old mother in his arms and kissed her in the presence of the assembled thousands, is still fresh in the remembrance of everv one. The fact that the Inauguration fell on Friday at the time was regarded by the superstititions ss inauspicious, an4 the event ot July 2nd will streagthen the ill-omen surrounding that day.

This sketch of the leadfni' Incidents in President Garfield's life should not be ended withor.t a reference to the story told of something he did in New York on ma-1 the day after President Lincon's assassinto

A crowd was surging around the Stcok Exchange building in Wall street, and there were sudden outciys against a journal in this city. A minute later an excited mass would have been hurrjrine in the direction of the newspaper building. Just then a man came out of the Exchange, waving in his hand a paper calling out, "Another telegram from Washington." The crowd stopped, and the man said, in a clear, distinct voice: "Fellow citizens! Clouds and darkness are around about Him! His pavilion is dark waters and thick clouds of the skys! Justice and'judgment are the habitation of His throne! Mercy and truth shall go before his face! Fellow citizens! God reigns and the Government at Wash ington still lives." The speaker was General Garfield, and it was added that the crowd, calmed by his words, gave up its proposed attack on the newspaper building.
