A Description of Him at Home, and with His Family. Gen, Garflcld is the possessor of two homes, and his family migrates twice a year. Some ten year3 ago, finding how unsatisfactory life was in hotels and boarding tfouses, he bought a lot of ground on the corner of Thirteenth and I streets, in Washington, and, with money borrowed of a friend, built a plain, substantial, three-story house. A wing was extended afterward to make room for the fast growing libra* ry. Thfe money was repaid Iii time, and was probably saved in great part from what would otherwise have gone to landlords. The children grew up in pleasant home surroundings, and the house became a centre of much simplt aod cordial hospitality. Five or six years ago, the little cottage at Hiram was sold, and for a time the only resi­ dence the Garfields had In his district was a Summer house he built on Little Mountain, a bold elevation In Lake County, which commands a view of thirty miles of rich farming country stretched along the shore of Lake Erie. Three years asro he BOUGHT A FARM IN MENTOR, In the same county, lying on both sides of the Lake Shore and Michigan South­ ern Railroad. Here his family spend all their time when he Is free from his duties In Washington. The farm-house a low, old-fashioned, story-and-a- half building, but its limited accommo­ dations have been supplemented by nu­ merous outbuildings, one , of which General Garfield uses for office and li­ brary purposes. The farm contains about 120 acres of excellent land, in a high state of cultivation^ and the Con­ gressman finds a recreation, of which he never tires, in directiug the field- work, and making Improvements In the buildings, fences and orchards. Cleveland 1s only twenty-five miles away; there Is a post-offlce and railway station within half a mile, and the pretty country town of Palnesvllle is but five miles away. One of the pleas- ureaof Sunimsr life on the Garfield farm Is a drive of two miles through the woods to the Lake-shore and a bath in the breakers. ,Gen. Garfield has FIVE CIIILDRKX LIVING, and has lost two, who die'l in Infancy. The two older boys, Harry and James, are now at school In New Hampshire, I Mary or Molly, as everyone calls her alwnOaytMCi. - w»y wH««ls«4, about 12. The two younger ndns are named Irwin and Abram. The Gen­ eral's mother is still living and lias long been a member of Ills family. She is an Intelligent, energetic old lady, wi th a clear head and a strong will, who keeps well posted In the news of the day and la very proud of her son's career, though more liberal of criticism than of praise. GEN. GARFIELD'S DISTRICT lies In the extreme North-eastern cor­ ner of Ohio, and now embraces the Counties of Ashtabula, Trumbull, Geauga, Lake and Mahoning. His old home county of Portage WJIS detached from H a year ago. With the excep­ tion of the coal and iron regions in the extreme southern part, the district Is purely a rural one, and is inhabited by a population of pure New England an­ cestry. It is claimed that there is less illiteracy l» proprotion to the popu­ lation than in any other district of the United States , IN PERSON Gen. Garfield is six feet high, broad- gheuklered and strongly built. He has an unusually large head, that seems to be three-fourths forehead, light brown hair and beard, light blue eyes, a prom­ inent nose and full cheeks. He dresses plainly, Is fond of broad brimmed slouch hats and stout boots, eats heart­ ily, cares nothing for luxurious living, is thoroughly temperate in all respects save in that of brain-work, and is de­ voted to his wifo and children, and very fond of his country home. Among men he is genial, approachable companionable, and a remarkably en­ tertaining talker.--E. V. Smalley. v attended to.-- BROWN. R Y , nij Repairing of FINE w ATCHES, AND JEW El.If Y a speciality.

BLOSSOM!, Woods'ock* While the loyal men of tbe Union were having their great son tent with Andrew Johnson; while Hancock as one of Johnson's appointees, and a strong personal ajherent. was doing all in his power to support Johnson in his course, and making troSble by rul­ ings In favor of rebels In his depart­ ment, Congress considered a bill to taks the appointment of Department Commanders entirely from the Presi­ dent as Commander-in-Chief, and put It Into the hands of Grant, as General of the Army. Hancock, it will be re­ membered. had' been placed in com­ mand of the department Indndlng Louisiana and Texas, from which Johnson had removed Phil. Sheridan, While the proposed bill was under consideration, Fernando Wood at­ tacked it with great vehemence, act­ ing In defense of Hancock. Farns- worth supported the bill. As our Dem­ ocratic friends now love John Farns- worth, his words lu this connection, will probably be as convincing to them as those of any other inau. Ia reply to Mr. Wood he contended: That the provision of the Constitu­ tion placing the executive power in the hands of the President, simply meant that he should use that power under the regulations and restrictions of the Legislative Department of the Government. The gentleman from New York, (Mr. Wood) had spoken to-day of an onslaught on a gallant oflScef, who had and has some respect for the civil powers, if the reports from that district^ are correct. He knew very well the reason why that gallant otficcr had commended him­ self so greatly to the respect of those gentlemen. It was for the same reason that the gallant Phil. Sheridan had se­ cured their .condemnation. Sheridan was the idol of the loyal whites and freedineu of Louisiana and Texas; Hancock, he regretted to wa* the idol of the disloyal the traitor, the en­ emy of his Government in that depart­ ment; and whoever commended him­ self to the aftcctions of the rebel ele- ment,commended himself equally to the aftection of their rebel brethren on this fioor. And it is this old affection, so tersely described by Farnsworth, that secured Hancock's nomination at Cincinnati.

WASHINGTON, JUNE 26.--The follow­ ing letter explains itself: TREASURY DEPARTMENT, WASHING­ TON, OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY, JUNE 22--//. Dusey. Esq., East Den Moines Iowa--SIR: In reply to your letter of the 17th instant, asking to be informed on what date the Hon. .fames A. Gar­ field paid into the Treasury his back pav, and the Treasury books show this transaction. I have to inform you that it appears from the records of this office that the sum of 84,548 was depos­ ited to the credit of the Treasurer of the United States in the name of James A. Garfield, on account of "retroactive increase of salary." on the 22d day of April, 1873, and that this amount was covered into the Treasury by miscel­ laneous covering warrant, No. 704, sec­ ond quarter, 1873, and cannot be with­ drawn except by act of Congress. Very respectfully, J. K. UPTON. Assistant Secretary S9»Hou. John C. Sherwin returned from Washington last Saturday, and Is looking first rate. He is delighted to get home. Ills domestic relations are of the happiest sort. He baa a beautiful family of children of whom he Is very fond. He Is worthy of good home. He Is a stranger to all the vices great or small He baa not one bad habit about him He works Incessantly and always stands In readiness to respond to any call which is made upon him. He Is a self-made man, and has worked from the foot of the ladder up. He is true to his friends and charitable to those who are agalnfft him. While lie Is not a man to create emergencies, he is pre­ pared to meet them, and is equal to them every time. He is manly, open handed, and open hearted, full of cour­ age and full of faith. He Is always cool and collected. Iii the darkest hour he never desponds, and Is not pufled up by success. He is more am­ bitious to perform the duties of a position faithfully, than he is to ob­ tain the position. It the people of the Fourth District want a man to represent them who is honest, if they want a man who is in­ dustrious, if they -want a man who is pure. If they want a man who is faith­ ful, If they want a man who considers his oivn personal Interests subordinate to the interests of the people, and does not believe that the created is greater than the creator, they caohaye such a representative in the person of John C Sherwin, whom we have known for years as a neighbor and friend.--Ho chelle Register. ggy- At the State convention in 1871, Mr. Lyman Trumbull 6aid: The war is over. The contest is done. Now what political organization will be the safest for the American people? Hereafter, to whom shall we look? Sf*all we look to the party which brought upon this government the civ­ il war? To that party which inaugu­ rated the doctrine that to the victors belong the spoils? To that party which now desires further to depreci­ ate the currency of the country by is­ suing millions and millions more of It? * * • The ship of State ten years ago was crippled. It had been run upon the quicksands aud rocks, and^was falling t<) pieces. The Republican party°took passession of her. They have been sailing her for the last ten years, not only over the boisterous waves of political commotion, but tnrough the terrific tornadoes of civil war, and they have brought the noble old ship upon the peaceful ocean, strengthened In all her parts, magnif­ icent in all her proportions, and there she now rides iu peace and prosperity. Now why does Mr. Trumbull want to scuttle the old ship and put a pirat­ ical craft in it6 place. WASHINGTON LKTTKR. ' I! * I WASHIXGTOK, D. C., June 9HhlMt The Chief of the Treasury Secret Service Division asks that Government rewards for the capture of counter­ feiters and counterfeit plates-be inp- creased. He thinks the only certain way to break up the business is to offer rewards large enough to induce coali­ te rfe Iters to expose each other. It will probably strike the intelligent; citizen that this reward business, ff carried too far, will induce <*rime an well as prevent It. The discovery of several new counterfeits of $100 bill* has caused almost a commotion in tlio Treasttry. A correspondent Writing from the Virginia Springs, at which Senator Cameron la stopping, says that the Senator will go thence in abont • month to New England, and that he will take no part ir: any "meeting of the Republican National Committee, and will not accept its Chairmanship.^-- The Republicans here, however, deny this, and aver'that Cameron will ac­ cept the Chairmanship, but will not attend the meeting of the Committee. All difficulty as to the appropriation for the Board of Health has been re­ moved, and the 9100,000 is made avail­ able at once. Further census returns make the population of this District 190,680.-- The growth in this and other respects in the last ten years has been extrems- ly gratifying. The increase Is perma­ nent, and Is of the better class of peo< pie, who build fine residences, and who bring wealth aud its reHueiyents Into the city. It is amusing te note, aft this ti|ji»« the large number of papers who claim to have been'"urging Gen. Hancock's nomination for years" aud '•had no second choice." According to edito­ rial expressions many of his party pa­ pers have been for Hancock since he was a<rilttle boy. It is, perhaps, un­ charitable to suspect that prospective post offices and consulships have had anything to do with these extraordi­ nary displays of hindsight wisdom, 1A the event of his election. The prominent part played bf Wis­ consin in the nomination of Garfield and Hancock will not go unrewarded, jand, according to the rules of polities, Wisconsin will be well taken care of no matter which party wins. In the Chi­ cago Convention the Wisconsin dele­ gation led the break in favor of Gar ffeld, a»#M GirtWtiiAti tbe from that State was the first to c! to Hancock and start the mo which promptly nominated him. It Is said the principal fight that will be made against the Democratic ticket in Indiana, will be upon Mr. English.-- The Greenbackers are to be spurred up against him. Mr. English has always been down upon Greenbackers, ami. It was through his opposition that S«u»- ders, tfie Democratic nominee for Gov­ ernor, was defeated for Congress. - An old soldier in the Springfield, (Mass.) Union says: 4*A11 of the Re­ publican soldiers under Hancock will work against him. We have to choose between two soldiers, one a West Pointer, who has beeu fed by the gov­ ernment, and one who is a volunteer soldier and who made himself; and we shall vote for the volunteer. More than that, the veteran association is jroin«* to work to prepare a pamphlet contrasting Garfield with Hancock as soldiers, and the balance vou may be I certain will be lu favor of Garfield." fSrThe idea of constructing m!W» stones of glass Is said to have origina­ ted from the observation that the finest flour was, produced from those millstones which have the most glasajr texture; from this observation came an experiment which demonstrated that pieces of glass combined in the same way as the French bnhr, ami similarly grooved on the surface, gave better results In grinding than the bultr, millstone. The outcome of this successful experiment wa* the inven­ tion of I he glass millstones now used in Germany with such satisfaction. Respecting their special |iiierits, they grliioeaslly, and do not heat the flour as mucli as is the case with the French bulir-stone. In grinding grist they run perfectly cold. In making these stones the glass U cast in blocks of suitable size and shape, joined with cement lu the same way as the French buhrs. dressed and furrow-cut with picks aud poiuted hammers. S®~Wniiam Pachey, of Waterford. Conn., illiterate and confiding has saved during thlrty-flve years §3.100, but was told at the New London Savings Bank the other day, that ho hart but $1,850 to his credit. Investi­ gation shows that some one had secured his bank book and drawn out 81,250 in small sams during the pa*t three years. The b«nk will be sued,, the money being paid on the Eimple: presentation of .the book. -ggp An exchange, speaking of the hanging of Surratt, queries of the Re­ publicans: "Why then, blame Ilanouck fordoing what they say should have been done?" They don't. They only call to mind the Inconsistency of a party which openly cursed Hancock aud all who had anything to do with hanging the assassins of Lincoln, and now take the former as their standard bearer. If in 1864 General Hancock was "one of Lincoln's hirelings en­ gaged in an unholy war," what has made him a saint in the year 1880?. If yon want a nice screen Door.- You will find them at I. N.
