GARFIELD, OF OTTO, James Abraban Garfield was born Nov. 10) 1831, In the Township of Orange, Cuyahoga County. Ohlv, about fifteen miles from Cleve land. His father, Abraham Garfield, came from New York, but, Ilke his muthor, was of Now England stock, Jamos was tho youngest of four children, The father died in 18%}, loaving the fam- fly dependent upon n small farm and the oxor+ tions of tho mother, 'Thero wns nothing about the otder Garfleld to distingulah him from tho othor plodding fariners of tho rathor storllo Township of Orange. Ne vne could discern any qualitios in him, which, transiultted to tho next generny tlon, might help to make a atntesman, unless tt wus industry; but ble wife, who 1s atill Nving at tn ndvanced ugo, was always fond of rending when she could got Jelsure for hur hard bouso- hold duties, and was a thoroughly capablo wom- an, of strong will, stern principles, and moro than average foreo of character, Of tho chile Uren no ono bosides Janus has mado tho alight- est mark ia the world, Tha oller brothor Is a furmer iu Michlgan, and the two slatera are, I believe, farmers’ wives. Jamned had a tough tno of jt aaa boy. Mo tolled bard on tho farm varly and late in summer, and worked at the ‘earpunter’s bonoh in winter, The best of it was ‘that ho tiked work. ‘Thero was not a lazy hair on his head. He bud an absorbing uinbition to. get an education, and the only road open to this ‘end seemed that of manual labor. Ready money wis hard to get in those days. Tho Obio Canat ran not far from whore ho Hyed, and, fuding thut the boutmon gut tholy pay in cash, ond earned better wiges than he could make at farming or crrpentry, he hired wut as a driver on the towpath and soon got up to tho dignity of holding tho holm of n hoat. Thon he determined to ship ns a aallor on tho Inkes, but an attack of fever and ogue interfered with his plang. He was fll three months, and when he recovered he deelied to go tonschool called Geauga Academy, In un ad- joining county, His mother had suved a emall sunt of money, which she gave him, togethor. with 9 few cookin}: utensils and a stock of pro- yisions. Ie hired qamall room and cooked his own food to mike his expenses 4s light ng possi- bie. He pald his own way after that, never call- ing on his mother for any more assistance, By working At tho carponter’s bench mornings and: evenings and vacation tines, and teaching country schools during tho winter, be managed tonttem tho acadomy during tho spring oud full terms and to sarvo A Iittle money towards golvg to college, Ha bad excellent health, u robust frame, and a capital memory, ond the attempt tocombine mental and phyeleal work, which has broken down many farmer buys ambitious to got an education, did not hurt hin, GARFIELD AT COLTEGE. Whon be was 23 yours of nge he concludod ho had yot ubout all thare was to be had In the ob- scure cross-roads ucudemy.- He oatculated that he had saved about half enough money to yet through college, provided ho could bogin, as ho «hoped, with the Junior yoar,’ He got a lifo- insurance policy and assigned it to a gentleman as security for a loin to make up tho amount beluckod. Intho full of 1854 ho entered tho Junior class of Wiliinma College, Massachusetts, and graduated in 1850 with tho motaphyslcal honors of his ciuss. I have seen n daguer- reotype of him taken about this time, It represents a rather awkward youth, with nshock of light hair standing straight up froma big foftvhoud, and © frunk, thoughtful fuce, of a yory marked German type. ‘Thore is not a drop of German blood in tho Gariteld family, but thle Picture would be taken for somo Frits or Carl just over from tho Futhorland, Before ho went to college Garfield hnd oon- nectod himself with the Disciples, a soot having eS numerous mombership in Eastern and South- ern Ohio, West: Virginia, and Kentucky, whero its founder, Aloxandor Campbell, bad traveled and preached. Tho principal puculiuritics of tho denomination are tholr refusal to formulato tholr beliefs into na creod, tho indepondonce of ench congregation, the hospitality and fraternal feoling of the mombers, and tho lack of a reg- ular ministry. Whon Garileld returned to Obio Jt was natural that be should goon gravitate to tho struggling Uttlo calloge of tho young soct ot Hiram, Portayo County, near his boyhood’s home. He bocume Professor of Latin and Greek, and throw bimeolf with tho energy and Industry which nro leading tralts of his charne- tor into tho work of building up the institution. Ucfore ho had boen two yoara in bis professor ship ho was appointed Presidont of tho Collego, ‘Hirnin (sa louesomo country village, three mites froin a railroad, built upon a high hill, overlook- ing twenty miles of cheeso-muking country to tho southward, It contains tifty or sixty houses clustered around tho yreen, in tho contre of which stands the homely red-brick college struc- ture.

His solid attainments and able social quilities enabled him to overcome this prejudice during hie sccond term, and hebecame on torms of cloro friendship with tho best mon in both Houses.
