President James 1 Garfield died at the fjrancklyn cottage, at Elberon, At 35 minutes after 10 this •rating. His death was so sud­ den and unexpeeted that when the family m smwponed the President was unoonaokms. From this he did not rally. He died a few momenta after Mrs. Garfield enlaced the room. From what can be ascertained, his death was from sheer exhaustion. At the President's bedside holding his poor, emaciated hand in her own, and watching with aagnisti unutterable the fut-Tuiriuog sands «f Bfe, s»t the faithfu), devoted wife daring the closing hours of the Pnridcnt's career. Around him were other weeping friends and physicians, lamenting their poweriessnem in the presence of the dark angel of death, Toward the last the mind of the sufferer wandered. He was once more back in Mentor, amid those scene* where the happiest hours of hi« life weia spent. He sat in the dear old homestead again with the loved ones around him, his a^di mother so proud of her big boy. his faithful wife and be­ loved children. It was a blissful dream that rsbbed death of its terrors and rendered the dying man for the moment unconscious of the cruel rending of his onoe-ngorous frame that wan constantly going on. The moan of the restless ocean mingled with the sobs of tne loved oues aa the limp of life flickered and went oat forever. Nearly every one around the President clnng to hope to the last, and refused to believe the approach of death until the shadow deepened andjihe destroyer's presence could be no longer Flags hang at half-mast from every house on Ocean <* venue, and the gayety of this fa­ vorite watering-place is followed by the deepest gloom. The struggle is over, Xnd death ia the victor. 3%is morning the physicians thought that the President was a Tittle better. He seemed to have Rome appetite, and no indication of any chill or any disturbance was noted. The in­ sidious nature of thesa attacks was again made manifest soon after 8 o'clock. The President had been very quiet, and seemed comparatively comfortable. (Suddenly he complained of chilf- ness, and, although hit- body was wrapped in warm flannels, Mid within half an hour he had been bathed in hot alcohol, it was found that his feet and hands were eolcfc and, in a moment, there was marked rigor. He shivered and every muscle in his body was rigid. The pulse went up to 140, and even higher, but it was so thready and feeble that it was impossible to count the beats. After it had passed that figure there was great danger that he #buld sink into a comatose state after the rigor had passed, and every exertion was made to induce reaction, Hot flannels were ap­ plied to the feet and poultices of raw onions out fine and steeped in alcohol were placed upon his stomach. In addition cooling lptions were applied to the head, and the arms and limbs were rubbed vigorously. The result was that a reaction was established much sooner than the physicians expected. After fifteen minutes had elapsed, Dr. Bliss notioed increas­ ing warmth in the feet, and ai the same time the rigidity of the muscles was observed to b* relaxing. It was evident that the rigor was passing away in about half the time which the ant one had lasted. That one, in spite of the most vigorous treatment, had only yielded un­ der hair an hour. .Xtie vitality of the President once more aston- U&ed the physicians--so much so that Dr. Ag- new said, when he came from the sick-chamber, as he has said before 8 The vitality of the President is something mare remarkable than I have ever met with.in all my practice." This was said to Mrs. Garfield and Private Secretary Brown, and the great surgeon also added that " if it wan not for Ms wonderful evidence of constitutional strength, he should feel as though it wae folly to indulge in any hope." After the rigor had passed the President fell •deep, and, although his pulse wis still beat­ ing above 120, yet hu temperature had not de­ creased more than a tenth of a degree or so below normal point He awoke in about twenty minutes, and the first words he said showed that the mind was more active than his bodily strength. He said to Dr. Bliss : " Doctor, I feel very comforta­ ble, but I also feel dreadfully weak. I wish you would give me the hand-glass and let me look at myself." Gen. Swaim said : " Oh, no, don't do that. Mr. President, see if you can't get some more sleep." " 1 want to see myself,' the President replied. Mrs. Garfield gave him a hand-glass. He held it in a position which enabled him to see his face. Mr*. Garfield, Dr. Bliss, Dr. Agnew, Gen. Swaim and Dr. Bo.vnton stood around the bed, saying not a word, but looking at the President. Ho studied the reflection of his o .vn features at length. He wearily let the glass fall upon the counterpane, and with a sigh said to Mrs. Garfield : " Crete, I don't ace how It is that a man who looks as well as I do should be so dreadfully weak." In a moment or two he asked for his daugh­ ter, Miss Mollio. They told him that she would come to see him later in the day. He said, however, that he wanted to see her then. Thereupon Rockwell went to in® beach when Hiss Mollie was sitting with Misa Rockwell, and told her that her father wanted to see her. When the child went into the room she kissed her father and told him that she was glad to see that he was looking so much better. The President said: " You think I do look better, Mollie? " She said: "I do, papa." And then she took a chair and sat at the foot of the bed a moment or two. After Dr. Boyn- ton noticed that Miss Mollie was swaying in the chair, he dipped up to her, hat before he could reach ner she had Mien over in a dead faint. In falling her face struck against the bedpost, and when they raised her from the floor she was not only uncon­ scious, but also bleeding from the contusion which she had received. They carried her out where she could get the fresh breeze from the ocean, and, after restoratives were applied, she speedily recovered from the faint. The room wae close, the windows were closed, and Mia4 Mollie had not been very well, and all these causes, combined with the anxiety, in­ duced the fainting fit. The President, they thought, had not noticed what bad happened to his petted child, for he seemed to have sank into the stupor which char­ acterized bis condition moat of the time. But when Dr. B^vnton wont boek into the room he vte astonished to hear the President say i 14 Poor little Mollie. She fell over like a log. What was the matter?" They assured the President that the fainting fit was caused by the closeness of the room, aa well as the delicate constitution of the girl, and when he had that assurance he again sank into a stupor or sleep, which lasted until the noon examina­ tion. This stupor was not a healthy sleep. The President frequently muttered and rolled, and tossed his head upon the pillow. Alter the noon examination there was very little chanee in the President's condition, ex­ cept that it was notioed that there was more mental confusion. The fear of a rigor about that hour was not realised, but there was a fear a rigor would occur in early evening. At the time the President was doing so well, comparatively, that the physicians enter­ tained a slight hope that the evening, and possibly the night, would pass without anv recurrence of the rigora. The Cab­ inet, who an all here with the exoei> tion of the Secretary of State and Secretary of War, asked the physician* for an honest prognosis of the case. Tbey were told that the case was almost hopeless; that a per­ son who had less vitality than the President has shown wduld he pronounced by the at­ tending physicians to be beyond hope. Dr. Agnew add that the President's condition waa had as bad oould be, but that he was not yet quite prepared to say that there was abso­ lutely no hope. At the same time the Cab­ inet heard that which satisfied than that the President waa now suffering from acute py»mi&. At the evening bulletin Ms condition was thought a trifle more oomfortsble, There waa a feeling of congratulation on all sides that be bad escaped another ricor, which had been, aaxioudy feared since the Am ©f the mora- and the people •hoot the hotels prepared to retire at the usual hour, having almost no fran of ill news before morning.

In an Instsnt the little telegraph offloem the El­ beron was surrounded, and then waa a shower of bulletins thrown upon the two paralysed operators. -'Heis dead," was all that oould he heard. The President had been dead hktf aa hour when, at 11:10, Wi sdom, HUD? and James ar- rived from W«sl End. They went into the hotd effioe and were met by MacVeagh, who led them away to the cottage. It waa then learned that the President had not died in a rigor. He had suddenly shown signs of failing, and messengers were sent out for ail of the doctors and attendants. Every possible application was used to revive Mm from the stupor which was apparently overtaking him. The end was plainly at nana, and presently he sank away. He was dead. The first report wa* not believed, when it wae confirmed, and the meesengers who harried •way in carriage* and on horseoack were called for confirmation of the distressing news by people along the wayside. The guests at this hotels who had retired wen at once aroused. Attorney General MaoYeagh, as soon a*> pos­ sible after the death, cane to the office of the Elberon and made the following statement, as to the death-scene. He said : "Dr. Bliss at 8:30 went to the oottage to make his final exam­ ination before he retired. He found the pulse, temperature and respiration exactly as they wen when the evening * bul­ letin was issued. Then had been no change of any kind. Then was every promise of a quiet night All of the doctors retired at once for the night, as did all of the attendants except Gen. Swaim and Cel. Rock­ well. They remained, and nothing transpired until about 10:210. Then the President add: " I am suffering great pain. I fear the end is near." The attendants sent for Dr. Bliss, who had retired to Private Secretary Brown's cottage. Dr. Bliss came verv rapidly. When ho entered the room he found the President in an uncon­ scious state, and the action of the heart had almost ceased. Dr. Bliss said at once that the President was dying, and directed the attend­ ants to send for m Garfield wad Drs. Agnew and Hamilton, The President remained in a dying condition until 10:25, when Dr. Bliss pronounced life extinct. S. Stanley Brown, the President's Private Secretary, gives the following description of the death scene: When Mr. Brown entered the roam, Mrs. Rockwell and Misa Lulu, who had just come in with Mrs. Garfield and Mol- lie, left the room and stood in the hall just outside the door. Dr. Bliss stood at the head of the bed, feeling the pulse. As he came in, taking his place among the people present, Drs. Agnew and Hamilton were trying to revive the President with hypodermic injections of brandy. OoL Bockwell then went out a moment and returned with Mollie Garfifld. As the Presi­ dent passed into the sinking condition and be­ gan to breathe in greet, dow gasps, Col. Rock­ well went quietly to the windows and closed them. Mr, Brown walked to Mrs. Gar­ field, and she leaned upon his arm as the President slowly breathed his last. Mrs. Garfield wag calm, save for the convulsive shudders that at times overmastered her. Mol­ lis came up to her a moment later, aud her mother put her arm around her as the little girl sobbed bitterly. Her weep­ ing and the President's gasping breath were the only sounds in the room. Then Gen. Swaim e&me to Miss Mollie, fearing her grief would be too much for her mother, and fed her away out of the room. There was a period of gasping, and then the President ceased to breathe. Mrs. Bockwell then plaoed her arm around Mrs. Garfield and led her away. As Mrs. Garfield left the room she turned and said, to Mr. Brown, as she wrung his hand: "I shdl depend upon yon." Public Somnr< The intelligence of the death of President Garfield was received everywhere" throughout the oouiitry with expressions of the profound- est sorrow. The tolling of bells, draping' of buildingt closing of places of amusement, and in some cities an almost total suspension of business, an but a few evidences of the depth of gloom produced bj the sad event Nor has this feeling been confined to any one section or party. North and South, East and Went, the great public heart was buried in one common grief over the loss of the great and good Pres­ ident, and one common sympathy to the stricken mother and wife and children in their terrible bereavement. The New Executive* 4 How the news of the death of Preddent Garfield was received bv Vice Preaidont Arthur, is thus chronicled in a New York dispatch: There was no unusual stir about the house. The servant at the door informed the reporter that Gen. Arthur had received nothing later than the evening bulletin. "The President is dead," said the reporter. At that moment Gen. Arthur appeared in the hall. " The Preddent is dead," the reporter repeated to h™ "Oh, no ; it can no's be true; it can not be; I have heard nothing." "The dispatch has just been received," said the reporter. " I hope, my €k>d, I do hope it is a mistake," Gen. Arthur's voice broke at the last words, and his eyes filled with tears. He then retina to the back room, when Messrs. Elihu Root and Daniel G. Rollins were awaiting him. "They say he is dead," said Gen. Arthur. A deep silence ensued. A moment afterward a telegram was received. Gen. Arthur broke it open slowly. After reading it he buried his head in his hands, and remained in this position for a lone time. Meanwhile the dispatoh was handed slowly around. It read: "It becomes our painful duty to inform yon of the death of Pres dent Garfield, and to ad­ vise you to take the oath of office as President of the United States without delay. If it concur with your "judgment we will be very glad if yon will come hen on the earliest train to-morrow morning. m " WILLI A* Wimxnc, "Secretary of the Treasury. "W.'H.

Ar is o'etaek the sound of cabs rattling up in front of the house filled the street. A few moments after receiving the news of the Presi­ dent's death Gen. Arthur's son hastened up the steps. He remained a few mo­ ments in the room with his father, bat the latter was still too much affected by the news to speak. It was 12:30 o'clock when Gen.

Nothing was ever more pathetic than the peaoeful death of the once strong man--4,he passing away of a nation's leader, his helpless hand lying in his wife's, to whom he was ever more than Preai- dentk Aate^r-lt* straaft Serele^ The autopsy is the most marvelous featun in the President's case. It showa th«t the surgeons had absolutely no knowledge of the character of the wound, or the location of the balL What was called "the track of th© wound" was. in fact, a burrowing pus cavity. The catheter, that was following the track of a supposed tortuous wound, was be­ ing pushed, into a pus cavity. The ball which Dr. Hamilton, even, thought h® oould locate within half an inch proved to be a mere ball of pits walled up. The metal which the induction balance discov­ ered was the same accumulation of pus. The doctors all knew within an inch where the ball was, and could have reached it immediately witli a knife. Yet it was two feet, by the sur­ face of the body, from where they thought it wis, and behind the heart, instead of being in front of the groin. The bail never went down­ ward and forward. It went sideways across the backbone. The shattered rib, which was not known to the consulting nurgeons until July 23, was the obstacle which deflected the bullet, and caused it to locate where no one ever suspected that it was, and where it re­ mained, a permanent danger to the heart. The doctors, however, congratulate themselves that the lung was not seriously affected that there was no metastatic abscess. The case illustrates how great the skill of good nursing is, for it shows that the Pres­ ident waa kept alive for eighty davs solely by gcod nursing, while he had a mortal wound that was constantly poisoning the system. But the autopsy shows now groatly the most eminent sturgeons may err--plainly spoken, that the doctors knew very little about the wonnd or the course of the ball. The post mortem was mad© the day after death, in the presence and with the assistance of Drs. Hamilton, Agnew, Barnes, Woodward, Rcybnrn. Andrew H. of Elberon, and Acting Assistant Surgeon D. 8. Lamh, of the Army Medical Museum of Wash­ ington. The operation was performed by Dr. Lamb. The physicians, in their official report of the autopsy, sav: "It was found that the ball, after fracturing the right eleventh rib, had pained through the spinal column, in front of the spind canaL fracturing the body of the first in»wbar vwr^- tebra, driving a number of small fragments of bono into the adjacent soft parts, ana lodging just below the pancreas, about two. inohes and a halt to tho left of the spine, and behind the 'peritoneum, when it had become completely encysted. "The immediate causo of death was secon­ dary hemorrhage from one of the mesen­ teric arteries adjoining the track of the ball, the blood rupturing the peritoneum ana near if a pint escaping into the abdominal cavity. " This hemorrhage is believed to have been the cause of the seven pain in the lower part of the chest complained of Just before death. " An abscess cavity, dx inches by four in di­ mensions, was f ound in the vicinity of the gall bladder, between the liver Mid the transverse colon, which were strongly interadherent It did not involve the substanoe ef the liver, and no communication was found between it and the wound. "Along the suppuration a channel extended from the external wound between the loin muscles and the right kidney dmost to the right groin. This channel is now known to be due to the burrowing of the pus from the wound. It was supposed during life to have been the track of the ball. "On examination of the organs of the chest evidences of severe bronchitis were found on both sides, with broncho-pneumonia of the lower portions of the right lung, aud, though to a much less extent, of the left. "The lungs contained no absoesses and the heart no clots. "The liver was enlarged and flstty, but free ftom absccsses, nor were any found in any other organ except the left kidney, which con­ tained, near its surface, a small abscess about ont-third of an inch in diameter. '• In reviewing the history of this case, in connection with the autopsy, it is quite evi­ dent that the different suppurating surfaces, and especially the fractured spongy tissue of the vertebra, furnish sufficient explanation of the septic condition which existed."

Mrs, Larrabee's first thought was as to her mother. The latter waa sleeping calmly, and they did not awake her. Not until 8 o'clock did the old lady awake, having slept since 11 p. m. At that time Mrs. Larrabee passed the door with a heavy heart, and found her up and dressed reading the Bible. It was thought best not to break t^e news until Mrs. Garfield had eaten breakfast. Oddly enough, the old lady did not insist upon hearing the news until she had finished eating. Then, taking the fata! telegram from the snelf, she was about to read, but Miss Ellen took it from her trembling hands.

He was met at the station by Pjctataiioa Windom, Hunt and Kirk- wood, Postmaster General James and Attoraev Geneial MacVeagh. Secretaries Blaine and Linooln accompanied him from New York. Preddent Arthur looked quite sad and care­ worn. His faoa waa pale. He was driven to Attorney Genital MfieTeagh's cottage, and waa soon Joined bj the Cabinet officers. At this, the bit Cabinet meeting in which the new Xnentive pa rticipated, two questions wen discoited, one being ths matter offnnwral arrangements, and the other tho compiicatione that had arisen ii: regard to on inqoast on the body of the President. It had been dieooverbd that, ttndar the laws of New Jersey, it weald be impoedbir t© hold nnin- 2nest without: the presenoe of the assassin ruiteau. As bringing him to Long Branch was out of the question, a conflict of interest seemed likely to arise. After considerable discussion, in which Gov. Ludlow, of Mew Jereey, Manual Caleby, the Sheriff of the county, and the At­ torney General of the State participated, it was finally decided that they would be obliged to dispense with the inquest altogether. The State officials agreed, and thus the disputed question was avoided. The other matter with regard to funeral arrangements was an almost equally delioate subject. From all parts of the country, from the municipal corporations of tho luge ettiss, and the Governors •f nearly all the States, had come in the uuan- imous request that the people be permitted a view of the murdered President. In conflict with this waa the decided wish of Mrs. Garfield all other considerations, and the decision was reached to have the obsequies and the removd to Cleveland as unostentatious as possible. and again buried his face in his hands. Viae Deatii- B«<l--Asi AWccttugr Scene. The death-bed scene of the President was a peculiarly sad and impressive one. Tho fol­ lowing persons were present when the great man breathed his last: Drs. Bliss and Agnew. Mrs. Garfield and her daughter Mollie, Col. Rockweii, O. C. Rockwell. Gen. Swaim, Dr. Boynton. Private Secretary J. Stanley Brown, Mrs. «nd Misa Rockwell, Executive Secretary Warren Young, H. L. Atchison, John Kicker, S. Lancaster and Daniel Spriggs, attendants, the last naraed colored. At 10 o'clock the patient w&« sleeping. All around was quiet, and the last preparations for night had been made. Mrs. Garfield and Miss Mollie were in their cottage, near by. At about 10:15 the President was wakened from his stop by a pain in the region of the heart. He exclaimed to Gen. Swaim: "I am suffering great pain." These were his last words. Dr. Bliss, who was at hand, wag summoned. Even then the President had begun to f«il. Gen. Swum did not appreciate the cri-ia which had come. Dr. Bliss felt for the President's pulse. It was'hardly perceptible. " My God ! Swaim," he exclaimed in a whi*ner, "he is dying ! Send for Mrs. Garfield." Mis heart then was but weakly fluttering. Drs. Agnew and Hamilton were sent for, and the former reached the room in time for the end. The other attendants all arrived immediatelv after Mrs. Garfield and her little daughter Mollie. Mrs. Garfield had nerved herself for the end, which she had for some hours dreaded as inevitable. She went at once to the side of her dying husband and took his hand in hers. The President was hoipiom &od speechless, but, as his wife sat ipression within. "Is it true?" she asked. "Then the Lord hdp mc, for if he is dead what shall I do?" She was rendered weak and a little nervous by the announcement, and was obliged once or twice to repair to her room, where, in solitude, she might begin to comprehend the awl ul truth. But she was not contented to remain thvre. and aoon returned to tho sitting-room. About 9:30 o'clock Mrs. Garfield was found sitting in the rocking-chair waiting for the news. The morn­ ing paper sue read with eagerness. *'It cannot be that James is dead," she mur­ mured. "I cannot understand. I have no farther wish to live, and I cannot live^ if it ** 801 BUK&KIHO THE mcwa to THK sons. The orphaned sons at Mentor wen not in­ former* of their father's death till after break­ fast the next morning. For a time they wept bitterly, but afterward grew quiet, and bore their affliction with almost- philosophical 'MM. A dispatch from Williamstown, Mass., says: "WhenHarrv Garfield left Williams College for Eltwron he left word that his brother, James A. Garfield who is confined to his room with a severe attack of malarial fever, contracted at the White House, should not be informed of his father's death until he was better. Tho tollmg of the church bells and the excitement aromed the suspicions of James, and it was thought best by his attending physician that he be informed of the truth. A burst of grief followed, but he is now bearing the triil bravely, though he is still in a precarious condition. He will be removed thk afternoon to President Hopkins' house. The college went on sa usual wis morning. Memorial services will probably be held in a day or two" _ ' * • •enevd ef OM Remains fresn Uag Branch to Washing-ton. The remains of President Garfield were ex­ posed to public view in one of the lower rooms of FrencMyn cottage, at Long Branch, on Wednesday, Sept 2L He was laid out in the •ait of clothes which he won on inauguration day. His left hand was hud serosa his breast, after the manner he had in life. This was done m order to make his resemolance as near to life as possible. The body waa ao neatly (shrunken that artifi­ cial means had tone resorted to to give the clothes an appearance of titling. In addition to the natural shrinking from his illness, the operation connected with the autopsy had left the body in an even more emaciated state. The face was so changed as to 1M scarcely recogniz­ able^ At half-past 9 o'clock religious services were conducted by the Bar. Charles J. Young, of the First Reformed Church, Long Branch. Then were present, besides the familv and their attendants, the Chief Justice of the Su­ preme Court, members of the Cabinet, their wives, aud a few personal friends, numbering in all not more than fifty. As the minister atepped up to the head of the coffin, just as he was going to begin, Mrs. GarSMd leaned to­ ward Col.' Rockwell and eith< r spoke in a very low whisper to bin or indioated her desire by a gesture only. The Colonel raised his hand to bid the minister wdt, ant said in a low tone s " Mrs. Garfield wants to look into the ooflbi before the tnmoe.* •' Immediately the widow, taking her daughter by the hand, arose, and descending the steps without aid, both stood hand-in-hand for what seemed a very long t>me, and gazed at the face of the dead man. Miss Mollie's feelings wen beyond her control, but her mother was as mo­ tionless in attitudo and featun as a statue. " I stood and gaxed at her in wonder," sdd the Rev. Mr. Young to a friend. " It was a marvelous sight to see that woman standing then, looking into that coffin, holding herself under such con­ trol. But of course htr face was like marble. 1 never saw anything like it, for except Mrs. Garfield's there was not a dry eye in the room." _ Immediately after the conclusion of the ser­ vices, Mrs. Garfield,' accompanied by her son Harry, Col. Swaim, Col. and Mrs. Rockwell, and Dr. Boynton and C. O. Rockwell, left the oottage and boarded the first coach. The mem­ bers of the Cabini't and their wives followed and took seats in th© second coach. Mrs. Gar­ field was heavily veiled, and p issing to the train exhibited the same fortitude whioh has characterized her manner throughout Just before the tram was rcadv to start, the Governor and other State officers of NewsJer- aey, accompanied by members of the Legisla­ ture, arrived, and acted as a guard of honor. A few minutes before 10 o'clock the casket was r«moved from the cottage aud placed in the third coach. The attendants and others who accompanied the party took seats in the fourth car. At exactly io o'clock tba train started from the cottage, moving, from the grounds very slowly. The route to the'nationd capital was found to be decorated with mourning emblems, the people standing with nnoovered head», and every church bell tolling in honor of tho illus­ trious dead, liverywhen along the line then were touching manifestations of popular grief. The flags m the grounds of the rich were at hdf-mast, and were intertwined with mourning emblems. The houses of the poor showed, from tbe doors and win­ dows, the depth of the national grief. Through Jersey the farmers wen assembled at the crossings, as they had been two weeks be­ fore, to witness the same Presidential train, which then bore the living, bat which now car­ ried hack tbe liviug and the dead Presidents. Every switchtender had placed »omo mourning token about his house. The workmen in the cities that were passed suspended their iajbor as the train wtnt by. The most touching inci­ dent oi tho day occurred at Trenton, near which is Princeton College. The students had tele* graphed early in the morning to Secretary Blaine a request that the traiu might go slowly through Trenton, as they wished to tender some flowers. Their request wae heeded. As the cortege approached Trenton, the train slowed down, and it was soon seen that tho students, ranged on either side, had strewn the track with flower*. The speed, too, bad been so slackened that a large basket of choicest flow­ ers were received by some one in the baggage car. Tucy were intended for Mrs. Garfield As the train rolled into the depot at Wash­ ington every head was uncovered and a solemn silence was observed hv the immense crowd which had gathered. Officers or the army and navy to tho number of 180 formed in single rank facing tho train. Mrs. Garfield, awisted by Secrttsrv Blaine and her son Harry, was the first to descend from the car­ riage. She was heavily veiled. Sueenteredthe stale cairiuge in waiting for her, and was lol­ loped by her daughter Mollie, her sen Harry and Mr. and Mrs. Rockwell. The other members or the funeral party were President Arthur, Senator Jones, of Nevads, Gen. GBJUL Gen. Beale, Gen. aud Mrs. Swaim, Col. Rockwell, Col. Corbin, Dr. Bliss and daughter, Dr. Boynton, Dr. Agnew, Dr. Hamilton, Attornev General MacVeagh, wife and two sons, Secrotarv Lin­ coln, wife and son, Secretary and Mr*. Hunt, Po.-tmaster General James and Mrs, James, Secretary and Mrs. Kirkwood. The coffin was borne from the depot to the hearse on the shoulders of eight soldiers of the Second artil- lery. The Mwine Band played "Nearer My God to Ihee as the was y»the hearse.

A mass lined the ndewaiks all the way from Sixth street to the east front of the Capitol, and along this portion of the route the crowd was appanntly as great as •menu scarcely aaeond waa heard, save that tram the feet of the moving men and horses. Hats were removed, and heads bowed as by a ocntmon impute of deep and unfeigned grief M the procession moved on toward tbe Capitol, Bent *t the east- front, a vast assemblage had congregated to view the fttnenl cortege.

A* Wadklaftea-Lylng In Mats. Ths remains of President Garfield lay in state at the Capitol during Thursday and Fri­ day, Sept 9»4, and w®re viewed by a eontr&u- ous stream of citizens. At daybreak on Thurs­ day laboring men, with the implements of their trades in hand, looked upon the coffin. After early breakfast the rush began, and it contin­ ued all day. The sun poured down with its relentless heat, but it could not disperse these thousands who had gathered to pay the last token of respect to tho dead. The people m some parts of the line wen four abreast; in others two abreast They moved at »n ordinary pace. There were men, women and children, black and white, of all agea and conditions. The city swell marched side by dde with the Virginia negro, Finely^ attired ladies did not disdain to march by the dde of women clad hi rags. The * ma­ jority of the people in line werefrom the coun­ try. Every train that arrived from the. South, West and East was crowded and specials were run from interior points. The procession was orderly. There was no push­ ing or other disturbance. When the portico leading to tbe rotunda was readied every man and boy in line lifted his hat. At the catafalque the members of the guard or honor assisted tbe people to obtain a good view of tbe dead President, and preserved order. Decomposition, which set in soon after the autopsy was performed, was not prevented by the embalming. A hberd sprinkling of powder over the face oould not conceal the marks of decom­ position, The face was of a dusky hue, sprinkled with black and yellow spots. The air-tight casket prevented the escape of disa­ greeable odors. At 6 o'clock Thursday evening the casket was dosed by the under­ takers. This action met with general ap­ proval. No one would have been able to recog­ nize the features of Gen. Garfield living in the features of the dead. Then was no abatement in the crowd, however. They poured in by the thousands, as eager to gaze upon the coffin as they had previously been to look upon the face of the dead. Floral decorations were scattered about the coffin and placed upon the floor of the rotunda. On the foot of the ooflin rested an immense wreath of white rosebuds. Attached to it was a card bearing Ufe following inscription: * Queen Victoria to th« meaner? of the fete * : President Ourteld, an euMesdcn of her ; : sorrow and sympathy with Mrs. Oarfiekl sad : j t|M American nation. ; The wreath was placed npon the casket by Mr. Hitt Assistant Secretary of State. It was prepared by telegraphic direction or the Queen at tne British Legation. One of the most beautiful of the decorations was a pieoe prepared at the White House con­ servatory. representing "The Gates A|ar.n It stood on the floor near the head of eeSe, Friday witnessed a renewal of the soenee of Thursday, though the crowd was somewhat diuunisiied. There was a constant stream of people pouring into the Capitol from early in the morning until noon, when preparations wen begun for the funeral services. Staffing Her Oof. "Hlw. Oftriyle had a little pet IfcfMlbg, named Nero, of which she was very fond. Qirlyle used to take Nero out with him for a run every night when he went for liis 11 o'clock walk, and I oft »n noticed, when I have walked with liira, how carefully he looked after his little charge, occasionally whistling to him, (not exactly with his lips, bnt with a small pocket-whistle,) least he should run astray or otherwise come to grief. This little dog at last grew old and asth­ matic, until it was a misery to look at his Bufferings ; until, in short, like many another little pet, he had to be kindly and painlessly put out of his little troubles. This was a great grief to Mrs. Carlvle, who never oould quite recon­ cile herself to the clear necessity. She was telling her grief to a lady friend, who, I believe, had not been very long married, when her friend, trying to say something to comfort her, suggested, "Why not have him stuffd ?" "Stuffed !" Baid Mrs. Carlyle, with a flash of indignation, " would you stuff {'our baby ?" She was also very tender-learted with her pets, and especially with her servants, whom she tried in every way to attach to her, sometimes, but not always, with perfect snottM.-- Isondon Quarterly Review. Deadly Dust. Dr. Leidy, of Philadelphia! believes that the dust of our cities Is a serious source of disease. "When we reflect," he says, " that this is the dried and pul­ verized dirt and filth of onr street*, de­ rived from all kinds of refnse matter, the dangerous qualities may be suspected, if they are not clearly obvious. Con­ veyed by the winds, it is diffused every­ where, and settles upon and adheres to everything. We inhale it, drink it and eat it with our food. A speck of mud on our bread excites disgust, but who minds the same thing when it is notliing but a little dust? If our food just brought from the market or provision store is examined with a microscope, it is found to teem with particles of dust, consisting of fine sand, bits of hay, straw, filaments of cotton from old pa­ per and rags, wood fiber, hair and scurf scales of man and beast, starch grains, spores, etc. Recent investigation? render it probable that dust contains the germs of decomposition, gangrene and contagious diseases." Dangers from Pyaemia® Pyaemia often works to its fatal end slowly. It breaks ont in an abscess here, an abscess there. Defeated at one jioint, it intrenches itself in an another, gaining on all resistance and often intractable to medicine and surgery. Its viefckc, dies at last of exhaustion. A woman was shot in New York by a delinquent board­ er. The bullet penetrated her cerebral cavity, just as in the President's case it penetrated the abdominal cavity. She survived the bhock, the secondary hem­ orrhage and the inflammation. In about four weeks pyasmia set in. The first abscess was in the neck and reached to the base of the brain. It produced, of coarse, softening of the affected lolxa^ but she did not die of that grave compli­ cation. Six weeks later a huge abscess formed in the region bounded by her right shoulder blade and her right hip. Exhaustion followed at once, and sue died.
