Law and Order. JEN. SHERMAN APPEALS TO THE GOOD PEOPLE OF TUE UNION. The following card from Gen. W. T. Sherman, Qddressed to the editor of the Republican, wa Published to-day: “My Dear Sir: You and I have been com- Tades in civil brofls and strife in California, when | Vigilance committees assumed rule, and we | know, or think we know, how good, honest Prople have done some acts of violence under an jonest conviction that they were doing the Tight thing, and we believe that time, the great ysician, will cure all thing: to the patient. have occasionally and recently heard the same arguments on the streets, the same Scraps of wisdom enunciated, and even at this hour, when our noble, brave President is lying in the very agonies of death at Long Branch, and the ‘cowardly, miserable wretch, Guiteau, is cowering in his cell at the public jatt, it oceurs to me that you and I should, in our Fespective spheres, make profitable use of our experience. No man on earth holds in ‘higher esteem the noble qualities of James A. Garfield than myself. I was on the point of starting for Chattanooga to-night to do honor to the heroes of Chickamanga, of whom he was one of the most prominent, but was stayed by the unfavorable report from his bedside at noon, and I shall remain here at my post of duty till the last moment of hope. At Chickamauga, eighteen years ago, Garfield Was f of staf to Gen. Rosecrans, whose right broken back by the forees, and was nm masses almost tanooga, when he begged for the privi- turning to join Gen. Thomas, whose 4d him that that hereic man still stood fast with his right wing. Gen. Rosecrans gave him le and he did return, running the gaunt- let. joining Gen.

Our constitution reads: xo person siiall be held to answer for capital or otherwise infamous crimes unless on a presentment or indictment of a gtand jury; and in all criminal prosecutions the aceused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed. This is the solemn contract of government, binding on the con- sciences of all. Should our President die the murderer is entitled to a speedy trial by a jury, and I hope he will have justice done him. But it isnot any office of yours, or of anybody exce} the regular courts of this District. which are in ted power. Violence in any form will eproach upon us all—on the country at and especially on us of the District of Columbia. All the circumstances of the shooting, and of the long, heroic struggle for life, impress me so strongly that I would be ashamed of my countrymen if they mingled with their feeling of grief any thougit of vengeance. ‘Vengeance is imine, saith the Lord.’ I trust the public press Will exert its powerful influence to maintain the good order and decorum which have prevailed sinee the saddest of all days in Washington, July 2, 1881 ————<eo—__ The Fund for Mrs. Garfield.

He has experience and knowl- edge enough to administer this government if he will but be guided by them and take up nobody's | quarrels and nobody's ambitions. His visit to Washington after the shooting of the Presi- } dent has been fortunate all around. I think he { got many useful ideas there. Indeed, he told me in the conversation, which I have referred to, that he felt that he was better prepared if the emergency should come now, than he would have been if he had not passed the time in Washington, and made the acquaintances he made there. He told me that his relations with the members of the Cabinet were pleasant, and that he had passed the time very agreeable with the Secretary of State and his family, and that Mrs Hunt, the wife of the Secretary of the Navy. and his wife had been girl acquaintances and friends, and there was a Pleasant intimacy there. All his talk confirmed my favorable impressions of him, and I feel now that though it is a great responsibility, he is equal to it. He cannot fail to profit by the les- sons which the fate of the three other Vice Pres- idents who became Presidents teach.” s ——— | A Scene Never to be Forgotten. HOW GENERAL GARPIELD WAS NOMINATED AT THE CHICAGO CONVENTION. The following description of the scene in the Chicago convention on June 8, 1880, when the stampede occurred on the thirty-sixth ballot and James A. Garfield was nominated by the repub- liean party for President, is republished from the special dispatches printed in Tae Star at that time- “West Virginia cast its nine votes for Garfield amid thunders of applause. Grant and Garfield were here nearly even, and the excitement was the increase until it culminated in eighteen es from Wisconsin. Every man was on his feet but Garfield, and for ten minutes it was a scene never to be forgotten. All the banners of the delegations now got to- gether around him and were waved over his head amid the din from ten thousand throats, without guns firing, locomotives shrieking and pandemonium reigning generally. The bands struck up ‘Hail to the Chief.” By this time the entire convention centered around Garfield, and each salute was fired on the lake shore out- » the roaring was taken up within. Gartield sat all this time immovable but pale and dazed. This lasted fifteen minutes. The next roll-calls were the territories andthe District of Columbia, who all yoted for Garfield. The 36th ballot was then announced and Gar- field declared the choice (on his 399 pb nor | the convention for President, the roll-call being verified by a revision. In the silence of the convention, by this time, ield bezan to show signs of excitement; his face was flushed, but otherwise he did not appear nervous, and continued to chat with Gov. Den- nison. Conkling and Logan sat in their seats quite flushed, but otherwise quiet. As soon as the 36th ballot was officially announced another scene of excitement followed. Conkling arose at its end and moved to make the nomination unanimous. Logan seconded it. The conven- tion was at this point turned into a ratification meeting, and delegates from Virginia and Florida pledged the electoral votes of both states to the republican ticket. Mr. Norton, of Texas, pledged every republican vote in the | south. Gov. Foster then read a dispatch from | the oldest members of the House of Represent- | atives, congratulating Garfield. It was warmly | applauded. He also read a dispatch from Sher- | man, appealing to the Ohio delegation to vote for Garfield to insure his nomination. Mr. Conkling had a bad cold and couid hardly be heard, but he was glad to see the good temper 1 | with which the nomination had been made. He | hoped to see the zeal displayed here carrying the | iance of the republican party into the ranks of | the enemy. {Great and prolonged | Mr. Logan briefly said that in uni h, and he hoped that whatever strife there ad been in this convention there would be peace | now, and the party would go into the camp: with untied hands and with assurance of victory | in November. [This was also greeted with ap- | piause.] Mr. Cameron was called for, but did not respond. The chairman of the delegation replied, however, saying one of their delegates had first | i Garfield, and Penns st vote given any pre: years.

He always acted independently of his delegates and is an odd / character. Gen. Harrison, of Indiana, who | threw the first big vote for Garfield, said he was | , called upon as the only defeated’ presidential | candidate on the floor of the convention to sec- ond Garfield's nomination, and to thank the mis- guided delegate from Pennsylvania who had | named him, but who unfortunately had no stay- | |ing qualities. This was received with great laughter. Then a recess was taken until 5 p.m. One thing which started the Garfeld boom him the lar; date inman the Blaine the galleries every time he came into the con- vention and spoke. His knowledge of parlia- mentary rules made his speeches clear and con- cise and impressed the convention. Had not Washburn made a campaign he would undoubt- edly have been the choice of the Grant men as a oe horse; but they believed he betrayed Grant. Pye mia. | From Surgical Path by Dr. Theodore Bilroth, a fessor of Surgery in Vienna, Pyemia (the name was formed by Piorry | from puon, pus, an aime, blood) is a disease | which we suppose to be due to the absorption | of pus or its constituents into the blood: it is | characterized by intermittent attacks of fever; by the frequency of metastatic abscesses and metastatic diffuse inflammations. | The following is a description of a typical | se of the disease: After the dressing of the | wound the patient feels very well; he has but little fever until about the third or fourth day then the wound becomes tore inflamed. secret: relatively little pus; the surrounding skin be- | comes cedematous and red; the patient grows | very fever especially towards evening: the | swelling about the wound increases and slowly spreads: on pressure a badly-smelling pus flows | slowly from the wound; there is no trouble of | the mind, no sign of intense, acute septicaemia; | the patient is exceedingly sensitive to every | dressing; he is restless and discouraged; there | is »ntinued remittent fever, with high evening | | temperature, and frequent, full, tense puls the appetite is lost, and the tongue hea coated, (this would be about the twelfth day after the injury;) quantities of pus flow from j different parts of the wound; in the neigl borhood of the wound fluctuation is distinct, | (this collecti | then dry, burning fuse sweating; the appearance of the woundimproves somewhat, but this does not last long; we soon notice a néw abscess near the wound; there is tanother chill; more counter openings are re- quired at different points to give exit to pus, which forms in quantities. The nights are sleep- less, the patient eats very little, drinks a great deal, and becomes much debilitated; he emaci- ates, especially in the face; the color of the skin changes to yellowish; the chills recur, the patie.t then begins to complain of pressure on the chest; he coughs some, but raises little sputum. On |examining the chest you find a moderate | pleuritic exudation on one or both sides, from | which, however, the patient does not suffer | much. Finally, there is decubitus, but the pa- tient does not complain much of this; he lies quietly, half insersible, muttering to himseif. | This would be about the twentieth day after the injury. The wovnad is dry, the patient looks miserable; the face, and especially the neck, is | emaciated; the sin is very jaundiced, the eyes the trembling tongue is perfectly dry, the | skin cool, the ane Jow, and only ele- vated at evenii the pulse small and frequent, the respiration w, the breath of a peculiarly cadaveric odor; the patient becomes entirely unconscious, and may perhaps remain so for twenty-four hours before death. To sum up, you have an extensivs, steadily. increasing suppuration of a wound, with in- tense, continued fever, which has exacerbations. , To this are added circumscribed inflammations, | make it fit into the corne: ture, morning and evening, can give no of the course of the fever in pyemia. To obtain an accurate picture of pyemic fever it would be necessary to note the temperature every hour or so. The cougse of pyxmia Is usually acute eight to ten days, often sub-acute two to four weeks, rarely chronic one to five months. The chronic suaily occur in yery strong or tough | cases us | patients, and the infection is only moderately in- tense and not often repeated, the metastases are in external parts as abscesses in the cellular tis- | sues, and suppuration of the joints, which keep the patient sick after the other results of puru- lent infection have disappeared. The prognosis depends on the course. The more frequent- ly the ohills are repeated the more Tapidly the strength is lost; the earlier the symptoms of internal metastases present themselves the sooner the patient will die. The longer the intermission between the exacerba- tions of fever, the better the strength is pre- served: the longer the tongue remains inoist the more hope we have of the patient's recovery; he is not out of immediate dauger till the wound again looks well—till he has been entirely free from fever for several days, and has otherwise the appearance of a convalescent. It is exceed- ingly rare for a patient who presents all the symptoms of decided pyemia to recover. HOME MATTERS. SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS—FALL CILEANING— STAINING FLOORS—A CAPITAL SUBSTITUTE FOR CARPETS—HOW TO KILL MOTHS, ROSE SLUGS, HEALTH HINTS—HOUSEHOLD RECIPES, Drixks FoR Cumprenx.—Rice water, barley water, oatmeal water, with lemon and sugar, should be ready in every house where children are. These drinks are surely better than cold tea, which is often given, or doubtful tea. How- ever, milk is better than anything, when it is sweet and pure. Rose Iysects.—The following remedy is suc- cessfully employed by some cultivators to destroy rose-slugs and other insects on roses: Steep a tablespoonful of white hellebore in a gallon of hot water for a few minutes, and apply the water tRrough a syringe or the fine rose of a watering- pot. It does best while the leaves are still wet with dew. Repeat in a fortnight if necessary.— Country Gentleman. New Remepy For Batpyess.—In cases of confirmed baldness the new remedy proposed is to remove the scalp, bit- by bit, and substitute, by skin grafting, pieces of healthy scalp, taken from the heads of young persons. The success which has heretofore attended operations of this nature in cases of scalp wounds gives a promis- ing outlook for this new mode of curing bald- ness; and perhaps the day is not far distant when the shining pates of our venerable fathers will bloem with the flowing locks of youth. Tartaric Acip in DiputHERta.—The tropical use of tartaric acidin diphtheria has been suc- y resorted to by M. Vidal, who, in one of medical journals, remarks upon the necessity of thus making use of topical agents against the false membrane, as it has a great tendency to spread bya sort of auto-inoculation, comparable to what occurs in certain cutaneous affections. His formula is ten parts, by weight, of tartaric acid, fifteen of glycerine, and twenty- five of mint-water. The acid acts upon the false membrane, converting it into a gelatinous mass, and favors its expulsion. Fant. CLEANING brings again the questions from correspondents about staining floors. The permanganate of potash is Inexpensive, and, be- sides, is healthy, as it is the same stuff that is used to disinfect. About two ounces of it. mixed in water, is enough to stain a good sized room. Don't get it on your hands unless you wish to stain them too. Put ona pair of old gloves. Use a whitewasher’s brush without a handle, o! course, for the whole floor, and a paint brush for the corners. Mix the permanganate in a bucket water. When it is first applied it is a bright n, but it immediately turns brown. After ‘y you can put on another until you get the shade desired. When you are satis- fied leaye it to harden for a day or two, and then dissolve some beeswax in turpentine and p it over.

Mora PREVENTIVE.—A correspondent of the Furniture Gazette commends the following rem- edy for exterminating moths in carpets and far- niture: After some years of experience with the troublesome pests, says the writer, I found a sure preventive of moths in pitch ‘paper, the Same as roofers use. The moth will live and grow on cayenne pepper and tobacco, while I never could see that the use of these articles pt the moth miller out. The plan for the fur- r or housewife is to cut the paper in slips and pla as the middie of April, and in warm clim- ates earlier. If the deuler wishes to make par- lor suits moth proof he should place on the in- side of backs of chai ats small strips of the pitch paper, and rest assured that the miller will not select these places to deposit ezes. It is the miller that is the foundation of all the mischief. Martine & PLACE OF CarPETs.—Olive Lo- gan writes from London to the Cincinnati En- quirer as follows: “Treadin a recent Enquirer some humorous remarks about a paterfamilias who was putting down matting on his foors for the summer, and what a time he had “wrest- ling” with it to make it fit into the corners. I wish I had been there to tell him not to try to Why, dear heart, you should never cut matting, except on the straight, you unwrap it from the roll. I have Just had matting put down in my dining-room, and I watched the men all the time they did it. They were A 1 workmen, and the mnaiting was bought at “The Bungalow,” and came straight from Indi: They put oil-cloth all around the other edve of the floor (an oil-cloth with the matting pattern closely imitated), fitting it neatly around the door- jambs and so forth; then the matting was simply a big square piece, or rather longer one way than the other. such being the lay of the room; in other words, there were four breadths of matting Joined together, and the two raw edges were bound neatly with scarlet leather. The oil-cloth shows about a foot all around be- yond. You've no idea how fresh and handsome itlooks. In this country the matting only costs 373g cents a yard, but I suppose it is dearer in the United States, on account of the duty. A capital substitute for carpets is mat- ig, and may be used with perfect propriety any where, even in a drawing-room, and even in winter. ' All you've got to do to give a nice warm effect in cold weather isto lay down plenty of bright-colored rugs over it. It is such 4 comfort to feelthe sweet cleanliness of it. too. it can be washed like a pine floor, and if, after a period of time, you fear the dust has ifted through it, it is the easiest thing in the world to lift up a matting floor-cloth, made as I have described; for, a8 the workman said to me, “The fewer tacks you put in it the better.” The one thing to be avoided 1s having puckers or “rucks up” anywhere, for the feet wear matting out at these inequalities. Both for floor-coverings and for decorative purposes matting is becoming every day more and more popular. Many people use it for dadoes, both in rooms and in hallways, fast- ening it on the walls with gilt nails.

This shouid be done as | e Right and Wrong Ways of Performing an Im- portaat SociaiFunction. From ‘‘Tho Glass of Fashion.” Let the reader remember that there is a right anda wrong way of hand-shaking. It is ho. rible when your unoffending digits are seized in the sharp compress of a kind of vise, and wrang and squeezed until you feel as if they were re- duced to jelly. It is. not less horrible when you find them lying in a limp, nerveless clasp, which makes no response to your hearty greeting, but chills you like a lump of ice. Shake hands as if you meant it, swiftly, strenuously and cour- teously, neither using’ an undue pressure nor falling ‘wholly supine. You may judge of the character of a man from the way in which he shakes hapds; there is the shake lym- Dhatic, the shake aggressive, the shake supercilious, the shake imperative, the shake suspicious, the shake sympathetic and | the shake emotional. Charles Lainb describes ‘also the pump-handle shake, which is executed by taking a friend's hand’ and working it up and down, through an are of fifty degrees, for about a minute and a half. To show its nature, force and character, this shake should be performed with a firm and steady motion. No attempt should be made to give it grace and still less va- riety, as the few instances in which the latter has been tried have uniformly resulted in dislo- eating the shoulders of the person on whom it has been attempted. Onthe contrary, persons who are partial to the pumnp-handleshake should be at some pains to give an agreeable, tranquil movement to the operation, which should on no account be continued after perspiration on the part of your friend has commenced.” Then there is the pendulum shake, which somewhat resem- bles the former; but, as its name implies, the movement is on a horizontal instead of a per- pendiculardirection. “it is executed by sweep- ing your hand horizontally toward your friend’s, and efter the junction is effected moving with it from one side to the other ac- cording to the pleasure of the parties.” Nor must the tourniquet shake be forgotten, which derives its name from the instrument employed by sur- geons to stop the circulation of the blood in a limb about to be amputated. You grasp the hand of your friend as faras you can in your own, and then contract the muscles of your thumnb, fingers and palm till you have induced any degree of compression you may propose in the hand of your friend. Particular care ought to be taken, if your hand be hard and big, and that of your friend small and soft as a maiden’s, not to make use of the tourniquet shake to such a degree that it will crush the small bones of the wrist out of their places. It is seldom safe to apply it to gouty or hot-tempered persons. You will see some persons thrust forth their hand with a sudden jerk, like that of a steam engine suddenly set in_ motion; and lo, they have taken possession of your own and are do- ing with it-as they will, before you have recov- ered breath. Others put forward their fingers with an apparent timidity or reluctance, and compel you to pounce uponthem and draw them toward you in order to perform an effective shake. Others, again, extend their hand tim- idly, partly withdraw it and again extend it, until you are uncertain whether or not the act. of handshaking will be performed after all. As for the cold-blooded creatures who austerely offer one or two fingers, I recommend you to ignore them; look loftily over them as if un- conscious of their existence and—their fingers. But when a lady (and more particularly a fair one) does you the honor to offer her hand, take it with an air of grateful deference which will show how you appreciate the honor; do not drop it instantly as if the touch scared you, nor hold it so long as to cause her a feeling of un- easine: Se Some Familiar Sayings, From the Manchester Times.

We now know that our earth is but a fraction of one out of at least 75,000,000 of worlds. But this is not all. In addition to the luminous heavenly bodies we cannot doubt that there are countless others, invisible to us from their greater distance, smaller size, or feebler light; indeed, we know that there are many dark bodies which now emit no light or comparatively little. Thus in the case of Procyon, the existence of an invisible body is proved by the movement of the visible star. Again, I may refer to the curious phenomena presented by Algol, a bright star in the head of Medusa. This star shines without change for two days and thirteen hours: then, in three hours anda half, dwindles froma star of the second to one of the fourth magnitude; and then, in another three and a half hours. reassumes its original brillianey. These changes seem certain- ly to indicate the presence of an opaque body which intercepts at regular intervals a part of the light emitted by Algol. ‘Thus the floor of heaven is not only “thick in- id with patines of bright gold,” but studded iso with extinct stars—once probably as bril- int as Our own sun, but now dead and cold, as Helmholtz tells us that our sun itself will be, some seventeen millions of years hence. found in’ Butler’ one but the br: | are but children of the larger growth, | thick and thin. | chosen the lea: | the neans,”” are | view.” i HOUSEFURNISHINGS.
