An old man named Thomas was shot night before last mar Highland, north of Summit station. A lot oI young fellows had been raising a disturbance near his place and disturbed him. He went out with a gun and fired one shot tc scare them on. They returned the fire with fatal result.

discernable in that most promising of modern conseratives, who died too early for his country and his fame, the Lord George Bentmck. He had all of Burke's love for the Sublime and the Beautiful, with possibly, something of his superabundance and in his taith and magnanimity, in his power of statement, in his subtle analysis, in his faultless logic, in hislove of literature, in his wealth and world of illustration, one is reminded of that great English statesman of to day. who, confronted with obstacles that would daunt any but the dauntless, reviled by those whom he would relieve as bitterly aa by those whose supposed rights he is forced to invade, still labors with serene courage for the amelioration of Ireland, and forthe honor of the English name.

Garfield's nomination to the Presidency, while not predicted or anticipated was not a surprise to the countnr. His prominence in Congress, his solid qualities, his wide reputation, strengthened by his then recent election aa Senator from Ohio, kept hioa in the public eye as a man occupying the very highest rank among those entitled to be called statesmen. It was not mere chance that brought him this high honor.

MWe

must," says Mr. Emerson, "reckon success a constitutional trait. If Eric is in robust health and has slept well and is at the top ot his conditio!!, and thirty years old at his departure from Greenland, he will steer west and his ships will reach New Foundland. But take Eric out and put in a stronger and bolder man and ibe ships will sail six hundred, one thousand, fifteen hundred milea farther and reach Labrador and New England. There fs no chance in results."

As a candidate, Garfield steadily grew in popular favor. He was met with a storm of detraction at the very hour of his nomination, and it continued with increasing volume and momentum until he close of his victorious campaign: No might nor greatness in mortality Can censure scape: back wounding calumny The whitest virtue strikes. What king so strong Can tie the gall up In the slanderous tongue

Under it ill he was calm and strong, and confident never lest his self-posses-sion, did no unwise act, spoke no batty, or ill-considered word. Indeed nothing in his whole life is more remsrkabie or more creditable than bis bearing through those five full months of vituperation—a prolonged agony of trial to a sensative man, a constant and cruel draft upon the powers of moral endurance. The greatmass of these unjust imputations passed unnoticed, and with the general debris ot the campaign fell into oblivion. But in' a few instances the iron entered his soul and he died with the injury unforgotton if notunforgiven.

One aspect of Garffeld's candidacy was unprecedented. Never before, in the history of partisan contests in this country, had a successful Presidential candidate spoken freely on passing events and current issues. To attempt anything of the kind seemed novel, rash, and even desperate. Tbe older class of vqters recalled the unfortunate Alabama letter, in which Mr. Clay was supposed to have signed his political death warrant. .They remembered also the hot-tempered effusion by which General Scott lost a large share of his popularity before his nomination, and the unfortunate speeches which rapidly consumed the remainder. The younger voters had seen Mr Greeley in a aeries of vigorous and original addresses, preparing the pathway for his own defeat. Unmindful of these warnings, unheeding the advice of friends, Garfield spoke to large crowds as he journeyed to and from New'York in August, to a'great multitude in that city, to delegations and deputations of every kind that called at Mentor during the summer and autumn. With innumerable critics, watchftil and eager to cach a phrase that might be turned into odium or ridicule, or a sentence that mignt be distorted to his own or bis party's injury, Garfield did not trip or halt in any one of bis seventy speeches. This seems all the more remarkable when it is remembered that he did not write what he said, and yet spoke with such logical consi-cutiveness of thought and such admirable precision of phrase aa to defy the accident of misreport and the malignity of misrepresentation.

In tbe beginning of his Presidential life Garfield's experience did not yield him pleasure or satisfaction. The duties that engross so Urge a portion of the President's time were distsstefnl to him, and were unfavorably contrasted with his legislative work "I have been dealing all these years with ideas," he impatiently exclaimed one day, "and here I am dealing only with persons. have been heretofore treating of the fundamental principles of government and here I am considering all day whetherA or shall be appointed to this or that office." He was earnestly seeking some practical way of correcting the evils arising from the distribution of overgrown and unwieldy patronage—evils always appreciated and often discussed by him, but whose magnitude bad been more deeply impressed upon his mind since his accession to the Presidency. Had he lived, a comprehensive improvement in the mode of appointment and in the tenure of office would have been proaposed by him, and with the aid of Congress no doubt perfected.

But, while many of the Exeoutive duties were not grateful to him, he was assiduous and conscientious in their dis. charge. From the very outset he exhibited administrative talent of a high order. He. grasped the helm of office with the hand of a master. In this respect indeed he constantly surprised many who were most intimately associated with him in the government, and especially thoee who had feared that be might be lacking in the executive facu1'. His disposition of business was orderly and ra^id. His power of analysis, and his skill in classification, enabled him to dispatch a vast mass of detail with singular promptness and ease. His cabinet meetings were admirably conducted. His clear presentation of official subjects, his well-consid-ered suggestion of topics on which discussion was invited, his quick decision when all had been heard, combined to (how a thoroughness of mental training as rare as his natural ability and his facile adaptation to a new and enlarged field of labor.

With perfect comprehension of all the inheritances of tbe war, with a cool calculation of the obstacles in his way, im pelled, always by a generous enthusiasm,

Garfield conceived that mnch might he done hjr his adminfctration towards restoring harmony between the different sections of the Union. He was anxious to go South and speak to the people. As early as April he had ineffectually endeavored to arrange for a trip to Nashville, whither he had been cordially invited, and he was again disappointed a few weeks later to find that he could not go to South Carolina to attend the cen tennial celebration of the victory of the Cowpens. But for the autumn definitely counted on being present at three memorable assemblies in the South, the celebration at Yorktown, the opening of the Cotton Exposition at Atlanta, ana the meeting of the Army of the Cumberland at Chattanooga. He was already turning over in his mind his address for each occasion, and the three taken together, he said to a Mend, gave him the exact scope and verge which he needed At Yorktown he would have before him the associations of a hundred years that bound the 8outh and the North in sacred memory of a common danger and a common victory. At Atlanta he would present the material interests and the industrial development which appealed to the thrift and independence of every household, and which should unite the two sections by the instinct of self, interest and self-defense. At Chattanooga he would revive memories of the war only to show that alter all its disaster and all its suffering, tbe country was stronger and greater, the Union rendered indissoluble, and the future, through tbe agony and blood of one generation made brighter and better for all

Garfield's ambition for the success of his administration was high. With strong caution and conservatism in his nature, be was in no dancer of attempting rash experiments or of/resortiug to the empiricism ot statesmanship. But he believed that renewed and closer atttn tion should be given to questions affecting the material interests and commercial prospects of fifty millions of people. He believed that our continental relations, extensive and undeveloped as they are, involved responsibility, and could he cultivated into profitable friendship or be abandoned to harmful indifference or lasting enmity. He believed with equal confidence that an essential forerunner to a era of national progress must be a feeling ot contentment in every section of

anew

Union, and a generous belief that the mefits and burdens* of government would be common to all. Himself a conspicuous illustration of what ability and ambition may do under republican insti tutions, he loved his conntry with a passion of patrietic devotion, and every waking thought was given to her advancement. He was an American in all his inspirations, snd he looked to the destiny and influence of the United States with the philosophic composure of Jefferson and the demonstrative confidence of John'Adams.

The political events which disturbed the President's serenity for many weeks before that fateful day in July, form an important chapter in his career, and in his own judgment, involved questions of principle ana of right which are vitally essential to the constitutional administration of tbe Federal Government. It would be out of place here now fo speak the language of controversy but the eventa referred to, however they may continue to be source of contention with others, have become, so tar as Garfield is concerned, as much a matter of history as his heroism at Chickamauga or his illustrious service in the House. Detail is not needful, and personal antagonism shall not be rekindled by any word uttered to-day. The motives of those opposing him are not to be here adversely interpreted nor their course harshly characterized But of the dead President this is to be said, and said because his own speech is forever silenced snd be can be no more heard except through tbe fidelity and the love of surviving friends: From the beginning to the end of tbe controversy he so much deplored, the President was never for one moment actuated by any motive of gain t) himself or of loss to others. Least of all men did he harbor revenge, rarely did he even show resentment, and malice was not in his nature. He was congenially employed only in the exchange of good offices and the doing ot kindly deeds.

There was not an hour, from tbe beginning of the trouble till the fatal shot entered his body when the President would not gladly, for tbe sake of restoring harmony, have retraced any step he bad taken if such retracing hid merely involved consequences personal to himself. The pride ot consistency, or any supposed sense ot humiliation that might result from surrendering his position, had not a feather's weight with him. No man waS ever less subject to such infineness from within or from without. But after most anxious deliberation and the coolest survey of all the circumstances, he solemnly believed that tbe true prerogatives of the Executive were involved in the issue which had been raised, and that he would be unfaithful to his supreme obligation if he failed to maintain, in all their vigor, the constitutional rights and dignities of his great office. He believed this in all the convictions of conscience when in sound and vigorous health, and he believed it in bis suffering and prostration in the last conscious thought which his wearied mind bestowed on the transitory straggles of life.

More than this need not be said. Less than this could not be said. Justice to the dead, the highest obligation that devolves upon the living, demands the declaration that in all tne bearings of the sutyect, actual or possible, the President was content in his mind, justified ia his conscience, immovable in his conclusions.

Hie religious element in Garfield's character was deep and earnest. In his early youth he eapoused the fkith of the Disciplse, a sect of that great Baptist Communion, which in different ecclesiastical establishments is so numerous and so influential Uneoghontall parts of the United States But the broadening tendency of his mind and bis active spirit of inquiry were early apparent and carried him beyond the dogmas of sect and the restraints of association. In selecting a college in which to continue his education he reject Bethany, though presided over by Alexander Campbell, the greatest'prtacher of his church. His reasons were characteristic first, that Bethany leaned too heavily toward slavery and, second, that being himself a Disciple aod the eon of Disciple parents, he hsd little acquaintance with people of other beliefs and he thought it weuld make him more liberal, quoting his own words, both in his religious and general views, to so into a new circle and be under new influences.

The liberal tendency which be antici

pated as the reeult of wider culture was fully realized! He was emancipated from men sectarian belief, and with eager interest pushed his investigations in the direction of modern progressive thought- Ho followed with quickening step the paths of exploration and speculation so fearlessly trodden by Darwin, by Huxley, by Tyndall, and by other living scientists of the radical ana advanced type. His own church, binding its disciples by no formulated creed, but accepting the Old and New Testaments as the word of God with unbiased liberty of private interpretation, favored, if it did not stimulate, the spirit of investigation. Its members profess with sincerity, and profess only, to be of one mind and one faith with those who immediately followed the Master, and who were first called Christians at Antioch.

But however high Gsrfield reasoned of "fixed fate, free will, fore-knowledge absolute," he was never separated from the Church of the Disciples in his affections snd in his associations. For him it held the ark of the covenant To him it was the gate of Heaven. The world of religious belief is full ot solecisms snd contradictions. A philosophic observer declared that men by tbe thousand will die in defense of a creed whose doctrines they not understand and whose tenets they habitally violate. It is equally true that men by the thousand will cling to church organizations with instinctive, undying fidelity when their belief in ma turer years is radically different from that which inspired them as neophytes.

But after this range of speculation, and this latitude of doubt, Garfield came back always with freshness and delight to the simpler instincts of religious faith, which-, earliest implanted, longest survive. Not many weeks before his assassination, walking on the banks of the jtotomac with a friend, and conversing on those topics of personal religiou, concerning which noble natures have an unconquera ble reserve, he said that he found the Lord's Prayer and the simple petitions learned in infancy infinitely restful to him, not merely in their stated repetition, but in their casual and frequent recall as he went about the daily duties of life. Certain texts of scriptures had a very strong hold on his memory and his heart.. He heard, while in Edinburgh some years ago, an eminent Scotch preacher who prefaced his sermon with reading the eighth chapter of the Epistle to the Root rfbs, which book had been the subject of cartful study with Garfield during all his religious life. He was greatly impressed by the elocution of the preacher and declared that it had imparted anew and deeper meaning to the majestic ut terances of Saint Paul. He referred often in after years to that memorable service, and dwelt with exaltation of feeling upon the radiant promise and the assured hope with which the great apostle ot the Gentiles was "persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor princi palities, nor powers, nor things present, northings to come,nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, snail be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lbrd.

The crowning characteristic of General Garfield's religious opinions, as, in deed, of all his opinions, was his liberality. In all things he had charity. Tolerance was of his nature. He respected in otheis the qualities which he possessed in himself—sincerity of oonviction and frankness of expression. With him the inquiry was not so much what a man believes, but docs he believe it The lines of his friendship and his confidence encircled men of every creed, and men of no creed, and to the end of his life, on his ever-strengthened list of friends, were to be found tne names of a pious Catholic priest and ot an honest-minded and gen-erous-hearted free-thinker.

On the morning of Saturday, July Snd, the President was a contented aod happy man—not in an ordinary degree, but joyfally, almost boyishly happy. On his way to the railroad station to which he drove slowly, in conicioos enjoyment of the beautiful morning, with an unwonted sense of leisure and a keen anticipation of pleasure, bis talk was all in the grateful and gratulatory vein. He felt that after four months ot trial his administration was strong in its grasp of affairs, strong in popular favor and destined to grow stronger that grave difficulties confronting him at his inauguration had been safely passed that trouble lay behind him ana'not before him that he was soon to meet the wife whom he loved, now recovering from an illness which had but lately disquieted and at times almost unnerved him that he was goidg to his Alma Mater to renew the most cherished associations of his young manhood, and to exchange greetings with tboeewhose deepening interest had followed every step of his upward progress from the day he entered upon his college course until he had attained the loftiest elevation in the gift of his countrymen.

Surely if hsppiness can ever come from the honors or triumphs of this world, on that quiet July morning James A. Garfield may well have been a happy man. No foreboding of evil haunted him no slightest premonition of danger clouded bis sky. His terrible fste was upon him in an instant. One moment he stood erect, strong, confident in the years stretching peacefully out before him. The next he lay wounded, bleeding, helpless, doomed to weary weeks of torture, to silence, and the grave.

Great in life he was surpassingly great in death. For no cause, in the very frenzvof wantoness and wickedness, by the red hand of murder, he was thrust from the frill tide of this world's interest, from its hopes, its sspiratione, its victories, into the visible presence of death— and he did not quail. Not alooefor the one abort moment in which, stunned and dazed, he could give up life, hardly aware of its relinquishment, but through days of deedly languor, through weeks of agony, that was not leas sgctoy bscause silently bone, with clesr sight anrcalm courage, he looked into his open grave. What blight and rain met his anguished eyes, whose Hps may tell—what brilliant, broken nlans, what bailed, high ambitions. what sundering of strong, warm, manhood's friendships, what bitter rendering of sweet household ties! Behind him a proud expectant nation, a great host ot sustaining friends, a cherished and happy mother,wearing tbe full, rich honors of her early toil and tears thewiteof his youth, whose whole life lay in his the little eoys not yet emerged from childhood's day of frolie the fair, young daughter the stordy sons just springing mto closest companionship, claiming every day and every day rewarding a lather's love and care and in his heart the eager, rejoicing power to meet all demand. Before him, desolation

and great darkness! And his soul was not shaken. His countrymen were thrilled with instant, profound, and universal sympathy. Masterful in his mortal weakness, he became the center of a nation's love,

eashri ned ia

the prayers I of a world. But all the love and all the sympathy 1 could not share with him his suflering. He trod the wine-press alone. With unfaltering front he faced death. With unfailing tenderness he took leave of life. Above the domoniac hiss of the assassin's

bullet he heard the voice erf God. With simple resignatioa he bowed to the Divine decree.

As the end drew near,his early craving for the sea returned. The stately mapsion of power had been to him the weari- 0 some hospital of pain, and he begged to be taken from its prison walls, from its oppressive, stifling air, from its homelessnest and its hopelessness. Gently, silently, the love of a great people bore the pale sufferer to the longed-for healing of the sea, Jo live or to die, as God should $ will, within sight of its heaving billows, within sound of its manifold voices. With wan, fevered fhee tenderly lifted to the cooling breeze, he looked out wistfully upon the ocean's changing wooden on its fair tails, whitening ia the morning light on its restless wsves, rolling shoreward to break and die be neatb the noonday sun on the red clouds, of evening, arching low to the horizon on the serene and shining pathway ot the stars. Let us think that Ills dying eyes read a mystic mesning which only the rapt and parting soul may know. Let ua believe that in the silence of the receding world he heard the great waves breaking on a further shore, Mid felt already upon his wasted brow the breath of the eteroal morning.

The eulogy was concluded at 1:50 p. 4 having taken just an hour and a half in its delivery.
