An Attempt to Hill GuiUau.
WAsnucoxex, 8ept.12.At 7
o'clock last evening an attempt
waa made to kill Gniteau ia his
cell. At that hour Battery B, sec
ond artillery, waa relieving Cap.
Graves's command which bad been
on dotv at the fail the previous 21
hours. The battery arrived in three
. t . m a sea
wagons, in ine disc 01 wnicn. was
seated First Sergeant Mason: As
the wagon drew np in front of the
jail, Mason jnmpeJ out, threw his
cap aside, and with musket on
shoulder, proceeded to the right
wiog of the jalL. A fiew seconds
brought him abreast of tbe wlndo'
through which Ghitean had been
often seen. Patting bis gan to his
shoulder, tbe clear report which
rang through the Jail told the
story of bis intention and act. The
ball grazed Guiteaa'a head and
penetrated nts coat wnleh was
bsnging on tha side of tbe cell
Sergeant Mason surrendered him
elf to his commanding officer,
Capt. McGilvary, who Immediately
put him under arrest.
Mason is a native of Virginia,
and has been nineteen years in tha
service. lie savs he shot for tbe
purpose of killing Gnitean and
waa sorry he missed him. He bad
become tired of riding over cobble
stones to J ail every day to guard

MoxoroLirs-One of . the most
interesting questions just now is,
Wbat is a monopolj!9 The idea
implied by the word is that of
somebody or something that wants
to do all the business to the exclu
sion of everything and everybody
else. That this idea is carried into
the every -day lifd of many a mo
nopoly is not to be denied. There
are gtgantlo companies wnicn are
monopolies and there are tittle com
panies which would be monopolies
if they could. The only reasons wby
tbe smaller concerns are not mo
nopolies is that they -have not
enough money or that they are not
managed with the business ability
hlcb Is generally at tbe fououa
tion of the building of a monopoly.
There is an alxost universal desire
in the human soul to j monopolize.
Most young men who j begin busi
ness aim at having the biggest es
tablishment in town. Some of
them succeed in the object of their
ambition, and in consequence of
tbeir success are unpleasantly spo
ken cf aa monopolists by those who
are lass saocessfal.Therearw few per
sons in business, whether as indi
viduals or in a corporate capacity
who would not like to bay oat
some comopetitor or ran hint out
of town. There are hardly any who
are willing to take a solemn vow
and rigidly keep it, to tbe effect
that they will always afford every
competitor an even chance with
themselves. i I ;
Persons who call themselves
anti-monopolists are fjnd of taking
measures to reform, or even to
crash, what they are 'pleaded to
call monopolies. Sometimes they
overreach themselves. The people
in a little town which owes ite exie-
tence to a railroad hold solemn
meetings and threaten the road
with almost everything short of ex
tinction. They are angry at it for
being bigger than tbey are. forget
ting that it Is their chief benefactor
they pass ordinances which, if car
ried out, would tax it! to death.
Failing to recogniza that but for
its presence tbey wnnld have no
commonication with the rest of Ibe
orld tbey enact a law that tbe
traios of tbe monopoly ahall pass
through tbe town at no greater
than faneral speed. There have
been cases in which monopolies,
vexed out of all patience by "the
petty coodact of the rclers of such
one borse towns, have (taken up
their tracks antl jgoae by some
othtr direction, leaving (tbe little
town to shrink into a 'deserted vil
lage." In California, the other day.
ground was broken lor tne u Tange
rine and Antlocb Ballroad, which,
according to the announcement of
the projectors, is to be an 'antl
monopoly road. When the preai
dent of the company broke tbe sod
be said: In tbe came and behalf
of the anti monopoly I break ground
on the first anti-monopoly railroad.
Jiow.wbat do these projectors wish to
accomplish! Simply tbe destruction
of the power of tbe monopoly. IIow
ill tbey proceed to do ItT Only by
becomiog more successful and con
sequently more powerful Ihsn the
monopoly now is. Ytbsn they do
this tbey will swallow the present
monopoly, and tbostbey will them
selves become monopolists. It is
the old story of tbe big fish eating
tbe little ones. Tbe little fish con-
scienliooaly disapprove ot the big
ones and of their " selfish ways of
gobbling that which is small. ; Bot
let tbe little fish escape tbe jaws of
the big; let them grow np to be big
fish, and they are as real monopo
list as the most gigantic.:

Tbe greatest crisis of all had ap
h4"u; iiocu. ; Auuiucr couim
taiiou anu 11 was aeciuea toat airs.
Garfield should be immediately no-
tilled to prepare for tbe worst.
Having come to this determination,
two of their number visited Mrs.
Garfield in her room and plainly
laid before her what they believed
to be the real terrible facts in the
case, Tbey said that it was useless
to struggle longer, that even what
they could do was little, and the
limitation of surgery had been
reached. Tbey stated the situation
as tenderly as possible, and asked
that she no fouger delude herself
with the idea of there being any
hope of recovery. This waa really
tbe first time that they had formally
given op the case. It waa then that
the pluckoftbislittlewoman came to
the surface. Every feeling of love,
and doty, and tenderness of the
wife and mother came uppermost
in an instant. Biding erect before
them and firmly setting her lips
against tbe expression ot the emo
tion that straggled for utterance,
she bravely said 1 ,
Gentlemen, yon shall not give
him up.- He Is not going to die
he is going to live. I feel I know
it. Go back to your post every one
of yoa, and leave it not until every
remedy is exhausted until death
itself has set his seal upon him, for
I will not believe that be Is dying.
Go back and do what you can. Yon
cannot do more, bat don't give up.
I am his wife and I say that we will
not give cp until the end itself ia
opon us." l
In this style," says Capt. Henry,
41 she met the first stampede of the
doctors. This is not, perhaps, her
exact language, but it conveys the
idea. There never was seen a
woman. She has never given way
longer than a minute or two at a
time to the display of the grief
which at times well-nigh consumes
her. As sooa as these short parox
ysms pass away she would return
once more to her post, and seemed
to inspire, those, around ber with
tbe same indomitable spirit, with
the same limitless will, with tbe
same supernatural energy. ' All
along she has borne herself with
the most remarkable grit I ever saw
in a woman. It beats alt. While
tbe rest of us were weakening and
trembling between hopes and fears,
she, a weak woman as yoa would
call her, seemed' ioApired with this
wonderful stamina of mind and
bodv. If Garfield owes his life to
anybody, it is to Mrs. Garfield.
But for ber I believe he would long
ago have succumbed to ' tbe icy
band of death. . To her the Nation
owes it for tho preservation of bis
life. This seems extravsgent, bnt
I tell yoa we cannot givo her too
much oralse."
After weary, anxious and prayer-1
fal weeks the sceno changes. It is
on Tuesday, Sept. 8th at Long
Branch: " Crete," said the Presi-
dent to his brave little wife, about
eleven o'clock tbis morning, as the
rinplner strokes; from the' belfrr of
tbe Protestant Episcopal Church,
almost cross .from tbe cottage,
reached his.ears, "what are they
ringing that bell for!"
"That!"1 said lltn. Garfield, who
bad been waiting for the surprise;
" that's the church where we were
when you first came down. They're
all going there to pray for yon to
get well." nod getting on her knees
be said : "And I'm going to pray,
too, James, that it may be soon, fur
I know already that the other pray
er has been beard."

ances from Washington, unfortun
ately not so explicit as they could
be wished, are reiterated that the
Star route robbers 'have not been
forgotten during the President's
illness. The personages in charge
of the matter are, it is said, now
ready to take the cases into court
and treat Dorsey, Brady and the
others incriminated to healthful
terms in the penitentiary. The
testimony collected is to be submit
ted to the grand jury of the District
of Columbia and upon it, the gov
ernment officials make no doubt,
the robbers will bo broken. It I is
ch aracteristic of the method brought
about by long tenure of ower by a
party that the incriminated person
ages should with apparent sincerity
demand access to the department
records. This has been the prac
tice hitherto. So soon as a robber
was cornered he fled to the spot
where the traces of his criminality
were to be found and by the con
nivance of party associates destroy
ed the evidence. Until the records
in Washington are scanned by a
party indifferent to the preceding
functionaries or their regime there
will be no means of knowing exact
ly the amount of robbery ierpet
rated since the change that came
over the party in power in 1870-1.

What the People Want.
StatesvilleZxiwJmarl-: They want
the Westren Railroad finished and
conducted, without regard to poli
tical influences, upon business prin
ciples. They believe now that it is
being pat through as rapidly as
possible and there appears no good
reason for disturbing tbe existing
status, if the controllers will only
come to terrrs, as come they should,
upon the matter of discrimination.

Death op Delmonico : -The
death of Lorenzo Delmonico the cele
brated caterer of New York, appears
to have caused a feelinxr of univer-

'bon ton' whoM several tunes a
month, dined therO with their 1am-
ilies. Mr. Delmonico died a victim
to excessive smoking. His cigars
were made expressly for him in
Havana, and were lengthy aud very
strong. He would smoke 30 daily.
He began without la cent in 1832,
and has died wert hover $2,000,000,
and except in the matter of tobacco
is said never to liajre been guilty of
personal extravagance. He was
justly proud of the, business lie, had
built up, and not long ago remark
ed that there jwere no celebrated
divines, lawyers, jauthors, actors,
doctors, politicians, or social lions
that had not been Uined and wined
in his establishments, to say noth
ing of distinguished visitors from
abroad. j j
Among others was Louis Napo
leon, afterwards I jEmperor of the
French, who returned to dine there
daily with James Walleck. This
compliment I)elmonico hugged to
his soul, for he was an ardent ad
mirer of the Napoleons, and used to
wear a lock of Napdlean Bonaparte's
hair in the locket of his watch chain,

He often furnished dinners that
cost from $10,000 jto 830,000, and
one time when Jim Fisk, at 4 p. m.
ordered a dinner at the Erie build
ing for C p. ni.? for 150 persons,
Delmonico had it ready at sharp C.
His family 'will run his different
resturants,.but the face of the quiet
unassuming little inan, who hover
ed around the dining-room or about
the cashier's I desk, has1 vanished
from the scene of his glory forever.

less whim to pay four or five prices
for the self-same article, encased in
Earopean packages, in order td en
joy " the reputation" of drinking
the juices of the Rhine, the Moselle
or the Donro. Bat we have the
high authority of the American
Wine and Grppe Grower, as well as
that of several of tbe leading "dail
ies" of tbe day, who have investi
gated the subject, for saying that
American wines, like some Ameri
can citizens who go abroad, are 4ad
ly contaminated by contact with
vile "bogua'' admixtures; inj other
words, that they are " doctored"
and flavored, and "blended" with
tbe refuse of the French wine press,
until their own parents would nover
recognize their denationalized off
spring. But It is well known, (ac
cording to the authorities quoted,
that in their brief sojonru on foreign
soil, tbey.are adulterated with some
of the deadliest -drags known! to
tbe chemist, in order to give "bodj"

In conclusion, it is a well known
statistical fact that for the past tew
years the production of pure Euro

steadily decreasing. Heuce what

TheTbue IWife: The truewi
is often unfashionable in loving her
husband and bim only, in not caring
to attract idle admiration Or jthe
homage of the more serious adored.
When she married it was for lovje,
pure and simple; and she did -not
look to ber wjfehood as to her pa
pers of release from control nd her
charter for unlimited freedom. Bbe
has no very J decided opinions pr
politics, woman's rights, lor tne
doctrine of fate and free-will. 8be
slips insensibly, and by the natural
training of love, into the grOovej of
thought where the husband finds
himself, and holds bis position tope
tbe best of a!) because It is his. She
is more content with his fame than
she would be with her own ; indeed,
she finds hers in his, and would liot
care to be a persouage on her Ofo
account. Sbe desires for herself
for her honor and supreme personal
happiness, only bis love, only bls
health and prosperity; and so long
ashe ia safe, ber star is witbout a
