An Interesting Interview witn One of Garfleld's School Boy Friende. Garfleld’s Superority as & Rifle Shot, and How It was Tested. A gentlemin named has been Marcy, who spending the winter with triends here, dropped into Tne Bee oftice the other day, and in the course of talk the name of the martyred Garfield came in, “Well, sir, ever since I was a boy, 1 I've known Garfield could al- most go blindfolded to the very spot where he was born Know him? 1 should say so. Tt scems strange enough though to hear him called any thing but *Jim;’ for us bo, used al ways to eall him so, even after he had got to bo w man full grown and began to get famons. We went to school together, and I can see him now as a schoolboy just ns plain as 1 can ses the leg f that table there.” After chatting reminiscences of school life Mr. over somo of the Mar oy hit upon the time when Garfield was nominated for congress. “I've just boen reading a lifo of Gartield, and I have to laugh at some of the mistakes and statements made. For instance, the book I've been read- ing tells about his being unanimously nominated the first time for con- aress. Now, it's mno such a thing. 1 was a member myself of the convention, and I tell you we balloted over a hundred times, Tt was getting aftor sundown, and thero were several candidates who stood just about oven, and Garfield was ono of them. Finally one of those whe wasamong the lending ones, a man named Ferguson, withdrew his name. Just in front of me sat a delegate named Merrill. T had been working right hard for Garfield, and when Ferguson withdrew 1did what I could to make the break count for Garfiold, and T urged Merrill to cast his vote for him. Merrill had written a ballot for another candidate and was holding it in one hand, 1 gave him a Gagfield ballot, and he held this in the other hand. He didn™ hardly know which to voto. As the teller camo around I saw Merrill hesi tate, and loaning over I took hold of the hand which held the vote for Gar- field, and sort of in fun shook it, and he 16t the ballot drop to the hat. When the vote was counted it was found that Garfield had just one ma- jority. It was on this nomination that Garfield was fixst elected fo con- gross, and afterwards he used to laugh and tell me that I shook him into con- gross,” Talking of the sad ending of Gar- field’s life, led Mr. Marcy to recall the fact that Garfield in” his early years was a wonderful shot, and es- pecially with a riflo. One incident specially was fresh in his mind. He tells it thus: “Garfield was then teaching at Hiram, and I was living at Garrets- ville, a lively little town only a few miles away. He was known far and near among the young fellows as the best shot in that part of the country. There was a young man named Hi Beecher, who kept a store in Garreta- ville, and he was himself pretty good on the shoot, and he was, too. He had got him a new rifle, and had been practicing for months, on purpose to get ready to beat Garfield. He had a target back of his store, a dis- tance of about ten rods, and he blazed away at this day after day. He used a dead-rest, and by steady practice got so that he could put almost every ball irside a bulls-eye a8 small as a silver quarter. When he thought he had got himself in good trim, he told me to see James nufi get, him to come around to the store and shoot with him, James used to come down to Garretsville of a Saturday, when there wasn’t any echool, so the next time I saw him I told him all about it. 1 told him what the game was, to get him tc shoot at ten rods and a dead-rest, and that if he did that way Hi would surely beat him. ‘Well,’ said James, ‘according to all the rules of war and the code of honor, Wheat-Winter, 10610, 0d; wring, 94 9d@104 4d; wh te, 94 9d@10s 3d; olub, 108 3d@ 104 6¢ Corn—b 4d.

T'll sce to him,” and I were standing in front of the store, Garfield came along. T hadn’t told Hi about seeing him before, and called out to him and told him that Hi was getting a little conceited about being a crack shot, and wanted to shoot with him, They went out back of the store, and Hi pointed at the target. ‘‘ Pshaw!” says James; “that's no distance to shoot. That's too much like boys' play. Let’s make it twice as far, anyway.” Hi objected some, but James told him he was the challenged party, and had the choice, and they agreed to shoot au the fence, about twenty rods off when they commenced to fire, Hi was going to use a rest. ‘Oh stand up like a man and shoot off-hand,’ says James This was an- other settler on Hi, but he had to do it, or back down. Well, they fired six shots a piece, and all of James’ bullets were plumped in close togoth- er, while Hi's were straggled along over a string of three feet or so long. Hi’s practice had'nt helped him much, and he had to own up beat. I never shall forget how Garfield looked as he went back into the store, and putting on his overcoat, stood for a minute 80 broad-shouldered and manly, and Gis tuen o cond-unlin Wi g ly swd—'Well, Hi, wherever you find yourself getting sort of conceited, just gend for me to come down again, and I'll try to help you get rid of it,’ and he hurried out laughing, to catch the stage to go back to Hiram," A Word for Doubters.

BENTON, After a while, as Hi | | -t American (irceer, Tt is astonmhing to what peeiliar methods people will sometimes resort to adyance theirown and injure others’ intergats. One of the latest and most unfair expedients it that of certain manufacturers of baking powders, who are endeavoring to prejudice con- sumers against all other preparations than theirown by exhibiting from house to house a test purporting to show the quality of various powders, The tacts are, this so-called test, which we aro told simply conwists in adding a little iodine to a sample, can in no way reveal the true value of baking powder, and is only caleulated to deceive and prejudice the minds of theignorant and unwary. Somo powders are injurious, but this can only appear by analysis. The true value of a baking powder consists in the amount 0% .vening gas which is given off when heat «nd moisture are added to the flour, and it is only the chemist, with the aid of chemical appliances, who can determine the volume of gas which any powder can eyolve. We will venture to say that thero is not an article prepared for food that might not be manipulated by chemical tests to prove that some- thing was wrong about it, and when a rerson goes iuto a kitchen, or before a housckeoper, who is Lot (o be pre- sumod to understand chemical rela- tions, nud performs an cxperiment of oven the simplost charcitor, it is not difficult to impress one that some- thing awful is the matter. As to bak- ing powders, wo gould suggest a dozen tests that would be as ridiculous in giving a fair idea of their relative merits to an uninstructed mind as the one here mentioned. The truth s that the best test to make of a bakin, powder is try it in making bread, an; see which makes the most and best. T'o this practical test all of the estab- lished brands of powders have been put, and housekeopers have very gen- erally made up their minds which they prefer, and the iodine testers will find ultimately that households that have for years used a favorite brand will aot be apt to makeachange on‘the test proposed.
