Atlanta
WASHINGTON, April 18.-If anyonetaints that the President of the Uni¬ted States is allowed to go about un¬
attended he is or she is greatly mis¬taken. The President himself is
ignorant of the great precaution .whichis taken to preserve his life and to
prevent his person being reached by"such a fanatic as Booth, or crank as
Guiteau.It has recently come to my knowl¬
edge just to what extent the officers ofthis government do go to prevent any
tragedy such .as hus twice marred the'"history of this republic. A good deal
* used to be said about the number ofdetectives whieh were wont to accom¬
pany President Cleveland and some '
sneering, comments were made ' bythose who /ought to have known bet-
: ter, but there was no more precautiontaken to protect the person of Presi¬dent Cleveland than is taken during jthis administration or was taken inthat of President Harrison. Presi¬dent Cleveland was not as lithe# oflimb as eltther Mr. Harrison or Presi¬dent McKinley and consequently was
¡j not seen abroad as much as either, buthe was as nnconscious as either to the
\ sense of (langer." This I learn from some one whoknows what he is saying and who is
thoroughly posted on the ways and jmeans 'provided to insure our ChiefExecutive .from assault.
R1EANY AMERICAN ASSASSINATIONS.
This country, a little over a hun¬dred vears old, has had almost as many^rulers assassinated as France with her
? thousand years back of her, and. one
J more than England. I am not taking:. /into consideration those, princes and; rulers who were murdered after they
were, deposed and imprisoned, but ofO a'ctual bona fide assassinations such as
that of President Lincoln, President^Garfield and President Carnot. But
j .-" of this later on.
As Ï said, the President himself isignorant of the precautions taken to
-protect him. He would deny tffatsuch precautions' were taken because
; heis ignorant of them, and if thesecret'^ service bureau was asked theplain question if it had a force of mendetailed for this work its head woulddoubtless disclaim it for the reason
.y_ that.there is, no law which authorizesthe treasury department to detail menfor.such duty. . It was all light forHorace to sing of
"Integer vitas scelerisque puruB,"but the pure and good are as vulnera¬ble to the crank as the evil and wicked.
If any 'óhc doubts that such precau¬tions are taken let him imagine, thepreposterous preposition of a govern-
'£< ' ment of sixty or seventy millions of
I' people permitting, their bead to gounattended through the world at themercy of cranks. If'is said, that ifthe secret service men detailed to
guard the life of Garfield had donetheir duty properly his life mightnever have been sacrificed to the pis¬tol of a madman.

"THE CHIEF SAFETY.'XJ From the standpoint of the Euro-peau'our Executive is absolutely un¬
guarded.1 In this is his chief safetyfor where there are.fewer evidences offear there are less incentives to crime.The very absence of guards is protec¬tion. But it is the crank that has to
be .watched and for this work six ofthe ablest men in the secret servicebranch of the government have been«elected. They are absolutely trust¬worthy and have an almost unlimited«mount of monejr to spend. ' Theyhave to report to no one save to eachother, one of .whom is chief, so I un-
«erstand, and in this way their com¬ings and goings are conducted withoutsuspicion. They arrive in town as doother : travelers, put up at the besthotels and wear the smartest clothes.Sometimes they come with large tour¬ist parties and take in the sights,going through the White House withas keen an appetite for bits of gossipas the veriest i:hay seed" in theparty.They will assume any disguises they
want, but they usually go as wellequipped gentlemen. They minglewith crowds and watch the vagrantand the loiterer about the White Housegrounds with trained eye, roving inevery direction. They know theirbusiness as thoroughly as do any men
in their profession in the world, it is
said, and their disguises are impene¬trable. It makes no matter who isPresident and what the Executivewish may be on the subject, the silentand ever watchful vigil continues.The President himself would scorn
the idea that he needed protection ofany kind, but for all that he is pro¬tected when least suspecting it. Thesystem has been continued since thetime of Lincoln. Up to that time itwas not thought necessary to throwsafeguards about our Presidents. Thcsystem had become a little lax whenthe assassination of Garfield made itevident that the rigidity of this pre¬caution must never be allowed to re¬
lapse into an indifferent state again.

Journal.SECRET SERVICE PRECAUTION.
In other countries this secret ser¬
vice "precaution is carried to a fargrèater extent than here, but it isdoubtful if it is more effective. InEngland, for instance, it is said thatso many are the disguises assumed bythe detectives about victoria that that
poor lady's life is made miserable bywondering who these people are sind'by what right they are permitted $oroam, about her estates. In Francethe system is carried on very much as
it is here, save that the secret serviceis increased by officers and guards in
uniform, and sentinels stationed at
every door and gateway.There have been only three bona
fide assassinations in .France, posi¬tively,known to history. One victimwas Henry HI, killed by a Jacobinmonk; Henry IV was assassinated bythe Roman fanatic Ravaillac, the thirdbeing President Carnot. The formerwas assassinated in 1610. That periodwas replete with assassinations of allkinds, and the wonder is that morecrowned heads did not fall a victim tothe knife. Many attempts on thelives of rulers are recorded, but veryfew successful attempts.Louis XI was believed to have been
murdered' for rebelling against hisfather, but it was never proven.Over in England Edward the First
was assassinated by a musselman whilethe former was crusading, but heseems to have had no right there andthe feeling against him was bitter anddeep. Edward the Second was mur-
dered after his deposition. WilliamRufus was supposed to have been as¬
sassinated in, New Forest and notaccidentally shot with an arrow byWalter Tirrell, as stated in history.Richard the Second was killed by Ex¬ton after his deposition, aud Henrythe Sixth is supposed to have beenassassinated by the Yorkists, but itwas never proven. Edward the Fifthgoes down in history with an improba¬ble death at the hands of Richard theThird, but recent historians put littlefaith in the story.One of the most marked assassina¬
tions was that of William of Orange,surnamed the Silent, the founder ofthe .Dutch republic. He wás calledthe "Silent" .from the fact that heheard without comment from Henrythe Second of France of a plot to mas¬
sacre the Protestants, he himself beingone at the time. He was assassinatedby Balthazer Gerard, a Catholicfanatic.
ASSASSINATIONS IN SCOTLAND.
In Scotland assassinations was thefavorite« way of securing a change ofgovernmental policy. They of allpeople seemed to have been givenmore freely to assassination. Theassassinations of rulers, consorts andparamours are too numerous to men¬
tion. In studying history one islikely to emerge from youth with theidea that nearly every other ruler wasassassinated for the reason that thehistorian seems to revel in detailingthe attempts on the lives of sover¬
eigns, and dwelling with much coloron the various. plots. But to reviewthe men who have met death in thisway there are comparatively very few,but sufficient to cause those who havethe keeping of the lives of rulers safeto still use precaution; for modernhistory boasts about as many assassi¬nations as the history of the periodknown as the dark ages.

A Pretty Story.
A Lancashire' lady has been relat¬ing a rather pretty story about a fac¬tory girl's way of answering a marriageproposal made io her."The young woman could not write
or read writing, and one day she-brought a letter to me to read to her.It contained an offer of marriage.
"I happened to know that the writerwas a deserving young artisan, so Isaid to her: 'Now, you must consider,this matter very seriously, and if youlike to come to me when you havemade up your mind. I will write a re¬
ply for you.'"A day or two afterward I met the
girl again and asked her if she wantedme to answer the letter for her.
"'0, that is all right,' she said,looking radiant and pleased. 'I'vesettled it. I answered it myself.'
" 'Why, how did you do it?' Iasked.
9"And then she told me that she
could make a capital 'I,' and then shestuck on the paper a piece of woolafter it for 'wull'-'I wool.' "

In Memory of Mrs. E. C. ChamWee
Still was the stir of labor and life,Hushed by the slumber of the midnight
deep;Forgotten was the toils and careB of the
pastWhen night's dusky mantle gently creep.
No sad good-byes to my Aunt was saidThe night she smoothed ber pillow
once more;She awoke in the dawn of the heavenly
morn,Where light "forever gleams the fair
shore.
The angel's call was soft and low,While the spirit had gently flown,
Sweet music waa cb anted from Heaven
above,Whicb call our loved ones home.
No one heard the silver chord whenbroken,
No one hoard their noiseless tread;Safely they guarded through the long
night watchesWith white winga hovering 'round her
bed.
Some say the valley we pass is lone,Not a shadow she found in her way,
Knowing she'll meet many friends gonebefore
"Farewell, vain world," abe wouldpray.
She bore the cross, she faltered not,Onward wich Christian courage she
pressed,Till the last trumpet's joyful souadSaid that "Jesus calls to rest."
Aside she threw every weight of care,On earth there was nothing she hated
to leaveBut her poor companion so feeble with
age»If we ask our Savior He is ready to re¬
lieve.
If we could only think how sweet herrest
From earth's weary trouble and care,And the mansions that Stand with wide
open doorsFor his loved ones His glory they will
share.
God's saints must glide o'er death'sgloomy shore,
And hear the wild surges and murmur¬
ing sighs,How bright and sparkling seems the bil¬
lows to rollWhen trusting in Jesus whose love
never dies.
Why is it so sad to say "She is dead?"When her soul is at rest, when it's
nature b own plan,"Come home, dear Iamb." th« good Shep¬
herd has said,His meaning we cannot read; in heaven
we'll understand.i

It is a remedythat makes a man thoroughly well by giv¬ing power and capacity to the digestive andassimilative organs. It makes healthy in¬

He Didn't Forget lt.
A young married lady one morninggave her husband a sealed letter, "whichhe was to read when he got to hisoffice. He did so, and the letter ran
as follows:"I am obliged to tell you something
that may give you pain, but there isno help for it. You shall know every¬thing, whatever be the consequences.For the last week I have felt like itmust come to this, but I have waiteduntil the last extremity, and can re¬
main silent no longer. Do not over¬
whelm me with bitter reproach, foryou will have to put up with yourshare of the trouble as well as myself. "
Cold perspiration stood iu thickdrops on the brow of the husband, whowas prepared for the worst. Tremb¬ling he read on."Our coal is all gone. Please order
a ton to be sent this afternoon. Ithought you might forget it for thetenth time, and therefore wrote youthis letter."But he didn't forget it that time!

Bravo for Governor Stone!
HARRISBURG, PA., April ü.-In a
letter which. G-overnor Stone wrote to¬day to W. S. Grenoble, of Gettysburg,declining to sign a petition addressedto the Secretary of the Navy urgingthat one of the new cruisers be namedthe ;'Gettysburg," the Executivesaid :
t;If naming a cruiser Gettysburg'would alone honor and distinguish thcexcellent town of that name I wouldnot hesitate to join with you in thisrequest; but to the whole country andto the civilized world that name typi¬fies a great battle, which settled a
controversy between the North andthe South of our country.' To bothsections it recalls a great heroic strug¬gle. The victory was with the North,the defeat with the South.
t:In the recent war with Spain theNorth and the South were blended as
one in defense of the flag. Our battleships and cruisers are manned bysailors and marines from both theNorth and the South, and I do notthink it wise that a name should beselected for any of our vessels whichwill revive the unpleasantness whichgrew out of the civil war and existedfor so many years.
c:Let Gettysburg be honored andrevered as the site of a great battle,wherein the survivors of the Northernarmy and the survivors of the South¬ern army can alike uphold the valor oftheir comrades. I am not in favor ofgiviug any vessel in our navy a name
which will distinguish a battle foughtby Americans against Americans."- The turkey was first discovered
in America, and was taken to Englandin the early part of the sixteenth cen¬
tury. Since then it has been acclima¬ted in nearly all parts of the world.
