We regret to see it stated as a faot
that president Garfield has thought;
nimseu m aaoger or assassination;
Miss Francis E. Willard, according
to the Boston Advertiser, said that
the President's mother was afraid
for his safety daring the campaign,
and the President said to Mi$s W
soon after his inauguration, referring
to his mother's fears: "I presume it is
true that any man who has been put
forward as, the chief executive of a
nation, whether he be a King or a
President, is a target so conspicuous
that he has a sort of fascination for
a certain class of men with homicidal
tendencies." Immediately after he
added, thoughtfully and seriously,
these prophetio words : "I presume
personally oocupying the position I
do, I am in daily danger of assassi
nation."
Mr. George W. Cable's last story
a uovellette is entitled Madame
Delphine. Tho South has no writer
of fiction comparable to the New
Orleans novelist. His workmanship
is of a very high order. He is a mas
ter. Among Northern novelists there
is but one who is his equal, possibly
his superior. We cm of course refer
only, to Nathaniel Hawthorne. Mr.
Cable is an original writer. He has
more genius than Kennedy, Simms,
and the whole tribe of Southern story
writers combined. He is an artist of
a high order.
The big papers have about run
aground on the subject of Guiteau
and now they are discussing all sorts
of conundrums growing out of the
shooting; such as is Guiteau guilty of
two offences in shootinc; twice or
must he be tried for only one offence,
and is President Garfield qualified to
discharge his duties within the mean
ing of the Constitution. A President
is not allowed to get sick, say some
of the Solomons.
The following fine lines are going
the rounds but without the authorship
They are applied very appropriately
to the President and the American
people:
"Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee;
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our
tears.
Our faith, triumphant o'er our fears.
Are all with thee, are all with thee."
They are by that great poet, Al
fred Tennyson.
Gen. Meade, who commanded the
Federals at Gettysburg, was shot in
a previous battle very much as Presi

passing, through the liver. He lived

the faot was established clearly. Gen.
Meade died .from pneumonia. There

Mayor's Court.
The first case called was Caroline Wal
ters, colored, charged with disorderly
conduct over the railroad Saturday night.
She was released upon the payment of $1.
Hannah Sneed, colored, was arraigned
for acting disorderly in the neighborhood
of Second and Market streets, Saturday
night, and was ordered to pay a fine of
$2.50 or go below for five days.
Wm. Eelsey, who said he was from tho
ould country," was the next case for in
vestigation. He -was charged with roam
ing about the Btreets at night, picking a
quarrel with a night watchman and acting
otherwise disorderly. The Mayor wanted
to know why he didn't apply to the station
house for a lodging, and he answered, "Be
jabbers, and I thought It was warrum
enough outside." The accused then wanted
to know "what sort of a free counthry this
is, where men are allowed to go about the
streets at night with shticks in their hands,
interfering with dacentpeople." As soon
as His Honor got a chance to put in a
word edgewise he ordered judgment to be
suspended on condition that the defendant
should leave the city within twenty-four
hours. This he very willingly consented to
do, pretending to be very anxious to get out
of a place where a man of his standing is
allowed such few principles.
