Army of tho CnmbcrlaiMl. the members of the Army tlie Cumberland residing in Chicago and vicinity met at Gen, Sheridan's resi­ dence Thursday evening, 14th, General Sheridan was called to the chair. Gen. A. M, Stout. Gen. A. C. McClurg and (/'ol. D. W. Marshall were appointed a committee on resolutions. The com­ mittee presented the following which were unanimously adopted: Long ago, a« members of tlie Army of the Cumberland, we learned to re­ gard with respect and admiration the former Cliiof ot Staff of that army. Gen. James A. Garfield, In later years we have followed his varied and brill­ iant career in civic life with constant­ ly increasing respect and Interest. When, therefore, in his present high capacity as President of tho United States, lie was suddenly stricken down bv^the hand of an assassin, we in 'com­ mon with all our countrymen wore tilled with horror ana apprehension The i e fore, Iiasnlved. That we hail with the ut­ most joy and exultation the signs re­ ported from day to day of his grad­ ually returning health and strength We heartily congratulate hlni and his devoted wife and family , also his country, upon tlie present happy pro* pect of Ills speedy recovery. Resolved, That we recognize In tlie brave, cheerful, hopeful and uncom­ plaining spiri t with which he has .net and sustained this dastardly blow, the same gallant fortitude and the same clear intellect which In the old days made him a good soldier and later on a great statesman. That in this high quality we recognize the highest guar­ antees of a fortunate issue in the prea- enteritis, so momentous to his old comrades and to all his couutrymen, Hetoloed, That we extend to him the heartfelt sympathy and the tender and cordia l regard of h is old comrades in arms of the Army of tlie Cumberland, wi,h the sincere hope tlmt a few weeks at most will restore him to strength and vigor, fitted for long years of use­ ful service to his country, which in the pust be lias served so faithfully. / Resolved, That Gen. Sheridan, the Chairman of this meetiug, be request­ ed to transmit these resolutions to the President and his family. I t cost<> something to advertiso In the St. Louis papers. All exchange says that a quarter column "ad" iu one of the dailies costs 33,164 a year.-- Another daily charges $2,800 for the same space. A foil page "ad" for one day cost* 3500. Loca; * ads" cost 40 cents a line each issue, and an adver­ tiser must take 31000 worth per annum to get them at that rate. And yet the successful business men of the city And it profitable to pay these prices. They regkrd it as necessary to the success of their business to advertise lr, as they do to occupy a good location. And so they do in every oity iu the Union.-- Advertising is made a paying portion of tlleir busiuess. MRS. OARFlKLh, Prom the Philadelphia Press. Guiteau's dauardly and nearly fatal attack upon Mr. Garfield has served not only to bring tlie President nearer than ever to the hearts of tlie people but to show ii*«trcng relief the beau ttful character of his noble wlte^ There perhaps has never been a rttore happv union than that of Ljrtcretia Rudolph and James Abram Carfleld. The one has proved to be muclA nearer the complement ot the other than usually occurs in this life. Mrs. Gar field Is not what would bs called t pretty woman, but she ia tall, fine look­ ing. has a kind, good face, and the gantlest of manners. She has a sligh hut well knit form, small features, with a somewhat prominent forehead, and hair originally black , now slightly tinged with gray. A pair of black eye»and a mouth around which there plays a sweetly bewitching smile are the most attractive features of a thor­ oughly expressive face. She is a quick observer, an intelligent listener hnt undemonstrative in the extreme. She ia a thoroughly domestic woman, who loves her home and her husband. Mary Cleinmer pays her the following trib­ ute "Much of the time that other women gi v e t o d i s t r i b u t i n g v i s i t i n g c a r d s , i n the fhuiticeffort to make themselves leaders of society.' Mrs. Garfield spends in the alcoves of the congres­ sional library , Searching out books to carry home to study while she uurses the children. You may be sure of one thing--the woman . who roads and studies while she rocks her babies , wil l not be left far behind by her husband in the inarch of actual growth. I have seeu many women come to the surface of capitoliau life out of obscurity, and go back Into obscurity again; have seeu many so-called/leader* of (fashion' shrivel and go out in the scorching flaiueof fashion; while I have followed with a tender heart this woman, the wife of a famous man--a woman whom nobody called a 'leader * She, mean­ while. luts not been lifted off her feet, as many women are, by her husband's r i s i n g f o r t u n e # ; n o s p r e a d i n g f o r t h i n style of dress or living, no 'airs.' And in Washington , in official l i fe , this everything, indicative of character. She has moved on in the tranquil tenor of her uiiobtriisi ve way. in a life of ab­ solute devotion, to her duty, never President, and had she died. Would now have been little hopes the President's rallyjng. With her constant presence and cheering Map* port the country may hava hope th|,b?|t. ' ' - ^ : ' A MINER'S ROMAKCR. ' lion or neglecting her friends, yet making it her first charge to bless her home , to teach her children , to fit her boys for college , to be the equal f r i end as well as the honored wife of iier hue- band. Gentle, patient, unobtrusive almost to timidity, keenly Intelligent, liberally educated, conscientiously de­ voted to everything goo<l--this Is the woman who will perpetuate theioving. consecrated l i fe that to -day abides in the White House, if, as Its mistress, she enters it." Gon, Garfield Is credited tn one of his biographies witli the following words of praise for her unusually sound disorettou: . * "1 have been wonderfully blessed in the discretion of my wife. She Is one of the coolest and best balanced wom­ en I ever saw. She Is iiustampedable. There has not. been one solitary in­ stance of my public career where I suffered in the smallest degree for any remark she ever trade. It would have been perfectly natural for a woman often to say something tha t could be mis in te rpre ted ; bu t w i t h o u t any design and with the intelligence and coolness of her character, she lias never made the s l ightest mis take tha t I ever heard of. With the competi­ t ion that has been against me , many times, such discretion has been a real blessing." She has borne her hasband six chil­ dren , one of whom , a daughter , dieu n infanoy. One of the most touching incideuu in the life of the stricken president, was his ooming home from the front soon after '.ie had donned the star of a Major General to bury a dead son. He took the dead baby in his arms and sat for IU photograph, the only one the family ever had of its little dead member, fh speaking of the circumstances to hjs friend. Pres­ ident Hinsdale, he said: "As I sat with that dead ohild iu my arm*, my eyes rested on uiy bright blue uniform, so recently bestowed upon me, and 1 thought how small are the honors of this l ife--how insignificant are all its struggles and triumphs! I am grieved and broken In spirit at the great loss which has been inflicted upon me , but I can endure almost anything so long as this brave little woman is left me." This closing scnteuce comes w i t h special fcigulfluauce just at this time, when everything is at stake with the grea t m m . and w h e n , i f eve r i n t h i s life, he needs the fullstrcngth and sop- port of his noble helpmate. It was most touching and projier that they should be left alono at their first meet­ ing after the catastrophe, Her judg­ ment and wisdom are entirely suffi­ c i e n t f o r a n y e r i s i s t h a t c a n c o m e i n t l ie l i fe of her great husband , and i f auy thhig in this world that can rally him back to l ife from thesoiubre brink of the grave, ber presence and care can do it. When, a frw weeks ago her own condition was considered critical, their best friends feared the eOect Uer Iom would have upon the herst College in the elaw"or 53 there were two chums, who ha«l stuck together ever since they had first entered college. They were fast friends, and qo trouble bad ever dis­ turbed their friendship. One was the. son of rich parents and the other ot * country minister. Wtiea they grad­ uated the rich man's soo weat into'! busiuess went into business with hi* father in New York, and took hi* friend w i t h him as an employe,-;" It Things went smoothly for some time, . . ^ when that common accident of lifttl^^ happened. They both fell ia love wi tlr 'M the same girl. The fight in the heart , ^ *• Of the employe was long and bitter. <kfu but contrasting his position with that of his friend, the difference la the ad« vantages he could offer the woman, he '<J; yielded and with scarce a word of £ parting, with none of explanation, ha left New York and w»»nt West. A y*ar afterward found him in Sau Fran- \ji sisco and he soon joined tho gold dig- , gers. His fortune was varied, at times ' Ik rich, at times poor; afterward in Ne- ~ vada,he followed silvtr mining, and * when the silver craze struck Leadvi])« * j lie went there. There lie was success­ ful, and this^prlng, a rich mau, ha da* termiued to return East for the first time In tweuty-four jears. Friday, as he got oil tlie southwestern train, at Wilton, Iowa, and went to get on the main line train which was to carry hint to Chicago, a lady who mt trying to turn a seat attracted his attention. Stepping forward to help her, he at, first looked with wonder, then joy, see tiiat i t was tlie woman he had run away from so long ago, a woman now past forty, but handsome yet. Ho talked to her timidly at firsthand un­ certain. When lie learned that she was yet unmarried his questions enme faster yet, and her present condition was soon known to him, Ber parent**1 hail died and*depending on her sva exertions for support, she had tiftight school and at present was principal of a school in Western lowa. The old love stilllived in the miner's heart, f W _ and lie soon foijnd that he had not «|»» make a long story short.
