The traveler on the Lake Shore Railroad is pretty sure to know when the train is approaching Mentor station by a movement among the passengers, who begin to Jook earnestly from the windows on the southern side of the car, and whose faces take on on expression of serious interest. Not much can be seen of the Garfield farm as the train passes swiftly by, but the eagerness to get a glimpso of the home of the martyred President shows that here in Northern Ohio at least his memory is not grow ing dim in the hearts ot the people. There on the ridge is the red-roofed house with its group of farm-build ings. If you knew the place, you can even identify the window of the little library where he wrote the letter ac copting the Chicago nomination. These are the meadows where in old times before there was any thought of the high honor of the presidency he used to like to swing a scythe and see how much of the strength of his boy- hood days, when he worked in the hayficld, still remained. 1'iero 18 vie young orchard he planied, aid o iano wheoo he often walkea at sunsct, Lua nomcat the scene vui but the thougts and wemories 1. cais up remaid, and the taik of the ya sen- Kers 18 about the iate presideas, s vuve happy home and his ciuel 1ate, uutl the train rolls into wne big smoky depot in Cleveland, and they k. |separate. Here in Cloveland you are remind- ed of President Garfield at almost every step. His picture gazes at you from shop windows aud from the walls of offices and parlors wherever you go. Many of the shops display photo- graphs of all the members of his fami- ly, and some have relics to sell for the benefit of the Monument Fund, made from the catafalque -used at his funer- al. With all unese reminders con- stantly before your eyes, the tragedy of last year seems to have ended ouly yesterday, and the sombre, smoky at- mosphere of the city appears like a fitting sign of universal mourning.

With its broad lawn and cosy rooms, it i1s a cheerful, home-like place. Probably the Garfields will live there for some years, until the education of the younger children is well advanced.

Mast of the best work of Garfield’s life was done in the study on the second floor that Jooks out on I-st. His Ohio home was a place of rest; but in the Wash- ington house he worked incessantly. The years he spent there were the THE JELM MOUNTAIN most truitful of his career in intellec- al growth and political success. L'ne two older Garfield boys are in their first year at Williams College.

All who have borne hea vy sorrow knew that silence make its torture more intense,and that there is some relief when ‘“‘out of the fulluess of the heart the mouth speak- oth.” Mrs. Garfield is taking an active part in the preparation of a work con- taining a selection from the speeches, lectures and other public addresses of the late president, The plan is to print in one or two volumes such of his oratorical efforts as have a perma- il Yl do o #labesiial wul sCuolar, The labor of compilation is being per- formed by President Hinedale, of Hiram College, with Mrs, Garfield’s counsel and assistance. A good deay of original matter will go into the book i the form of notes and intro- ductory articles explaining the cir- cumstances inder which the speeches +|wero delivered, and the history and attitude of the public question a¢ to which they relate. Nothing has yet been decided about the authorized biography. Mrs, Garfield wisely thinks there should be no haste to publish the book, and that it can wait until the hurriedly written lines man- ufactured for campaign purposes and republished after his death have had their run and the public ja ready to w | view his career ina true historical light. No selection of & biographer has beon made. No doubt the task will be confided to some one whose place in literature is already won, and who will not seek the position for the reputation it will bring. After the biography appears, but perhaps not until many years elapse, there will probably be published un- der Mrs. Garfield’s supervision one or two volumes made up of selections from the martyred president's corres dence. In the letters which friends can furnish .and in the press copies which he preserved of much of his correspondence with public men, ex ists a mine of valuable material of the War,the Reconstruction epoch, thecontest over the National Finances, and legislation, and abound in frank, manly, vigorous opinions and eriti cisms, Well digested, they would | form a conscientious record of Genera Garfield’s life and thought from 1860 to 1880, written by his owi hand So constant was his habit of wri to afew intimate friends with f: dom and fullness of his experience his readings in literature, science and pelitical economy, his work in legisla tion and in the field of National poli- ties, and his views of public men and | measures, it an autobiography | could alnos® be made up frowm bis let- tors, In justice to himself and o others his coriespor dence, if publish ed, will bo edired with great care. 1 men who played prominent parts wit him in public liie have passed off the stage.

Chicago Herald, The treasury stavistics of our im- ports for the calendar year closing Docember 31, 1881, show that oar pesple have not yet beguu to curtail their purchases ol the luxuries of lite. [Tu 1879, the last yoar of the period of business stagnation, our umporta- tation of what way be denominated luxuries amountcd to $68,000,000, and 1880, with the renewal of *'good tunes,”’ our > bo i 3,000,000, ai advuice of $26,000,000! Tt was in that year that the people began to feel like in- dulging their tastes mere freely. - The figures of the treasury bureau inli- cate that the ‘‘flush” times are still with us, of which, perhaps, there is 1o better sign than the purchase of precious stones. In 1879 the impor- tation of diamonds and other gems amountod to $4,727,000, in 1880 to $8,083,000, nnd last year] to £8,727,- 000. The importation of gems is a very good commercial barometer When the “times” press hard upon the people the importation is small, but with a rising commercial barometer the dealers in this class of luxuries begin to buy more freely in anticipation of a sure demand for their coatly wares. Since 1879 we have more than doubled our purchase of foreign ‘fanoy goods, the tigures being $4,730,000 against §9,- 018,000 last year, In musical instru- ments, a trade which quickly “‘senses any change in the feelings of the people who have tastes to gratify, the imports have doubled, rising from $702,000 ‘two years ago, to 81,489,000 last year, In silk goods we are buying a third more than in 1879, the tigures for last year being $32,000,000, a declne of $2,000,000 from the imports for 1880; but this decline is no indication of diminished purchasing power among the people; it may be ascribed to over- ntocEing the year before, and to changes in the fashions. The varia- tion is, however, o slight as to scarce- 1y call for explanation. Of silk hosiery, certainly a luxury, pure and simple, we are importing $424,000 worth, Of foreign jewelry we never buy heavily, owing to the duties, and especially to the great skill of our home manufactur- ers. Our bill in this particular can be covered by $4560,000 for 1881. Of gloves, principally kid, we continue to buy nearly 4,000,000 worth yearly but in hard times pecple curtail their purchases of gloves very quickly. As «ith diamonds, so with paintings and statuary: the increased purchase of thesc articles 18 a sure indication of the ‘“lushness” of the national pocket, In '79 we bought of these works of art §1,608,000, and last year $2,420,- worth, Foreign books and engray- ings make an item of over $3,000,000 in our imports, but two years ago our book buyers and print collectors were far less lavish of their mency. The wine and spirit trade is importing nearly $3,000,000 worth more of these luxuries than during the last panic year; the figures for 1881 are $9,678,000. The development of the brewing business in the United States r ndered it necessary to buy more than $831,000 worth of Bass' *‘bitters"” and of German lager last year, Of foreign tobacco and cigars (mostly Ouban) we bou%lolt in 1881 to the value of $7,700.000, an increase of about $2,000,000 since 1879. Our importation of foreign watches - thanks to the excellence and, indeed, superiority, . of Ameri can machine made watchos - is confined mainly to the yery costly English and European makes, and also to vhe very cheapest Swiss grades for the supply of auction ‘shops and the swindling of the simple. But even in these guods our imports are about double what they were in 1879, | the firures for 1881 haing 82 318 000 Uf toreign leather goods, ele., we are purchasing at the rate of somethis, over $1,000,000a year, Of furs nng dressed skins we imported last year $§0,0606,000 _worth, a8 against some $3,000,000 in 1879. OQur imports of foreign glassware have increased from about 1,600,000 in '79 to 2,740,000 last year, and this does not include our purchase of foreign mirrors, which, in ‘81, amounted to $822,000. Our foreign button bill ghows that the domestic industry is not yet up to the demands of taste and "fashion. Buttons to the value of $3,786,000 came in last year.

It will be news to moat people that ordinary gas will pass through stone- work, and that the human breath can bo sent through a brick wall as strong ly as to deflect a candle on the other side. At the New York Academy of Sciences lately Prof. Doremus demon- strated the truth of these things. He had before him a piece of sandstone, rectangular, and 4} inches in thick- ness. Placing against this a tube, he passed gas from one of the strect pipes against the brick. After wait- stone and immediately a small flame sprang up, showing that the gas had gone through the substance. He then took a mass of brickwork, made of best Philadelphia brick, Against one face of this he put the tube, and at theback of it a candle. Asfhe blow through the tube the light was plainly deflected. Very little pressure, he said, was enough to send the air or gas through. Sewage gas penetrates substances with just as much orgreat- erease. A water trap is perfectly useless, unless there be a ventilating pipewith it; then the water will check the gas, and the latter will naturally seek its easiest way out. The walls ot hospitals, Dr. Doremus says, become saturated with disease, and the only way to cure them 18 to adopt the He- braic plan and leave not one stone standing upon another He had found chlorine gas the best disinfective for such purposes. He had once gener- ated three tons of this gas in a ward of Believue hospital where pymmia was constantly occurring though the sat- uration of the' walls with poison, and there had been a marked improve- ment since. The chlorine treatment, he says, - should be resorted to every few months in such places. A Short Koad to Health.
