Details of the Attack on the President—The Assassin—His Career and His Motive. Washington, July 2. — President Garfield, accompanied by Secretary Blaine, alighted from his carriage at the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad depot this morning, and while passing through the ladies' waiting room to the cars, leaning on Blaine's arm, two shots were fired at him, both taking effect—the first ball entering the President's body immediately above the kidneys, and the second ball striking the front of his shoulder and passed out beneath the shoulder blade. An unsuccessful attempt was made to extract the first ball. A later examination disclosed the fact that the bullet entered the President's body between the tenth and eleventh ribs, on the right side of the spinal column, and after passing forward and downward into and through the lower end of the right lobe of the liver, finally lodged in the anterior portion of the abdomen. SECRETARY BLAINE'S STORY. The President and I were walking arm in arm towards the train. I heard two shots and saw a man run. I started after him, but seeing he was grabbed, just as he got out of the room, I came to the President and found him lying on the floor. The floor was covered with the President's blood. A number of people gathered around shortly afterwards, and have some of that blood on their persons. I think I know the man. I think his name is Guittteau. The weapon used was a pistol about seven inches long. It had an ivory handle. The calibre was very large. It is what is known as a Cali- "Don't Jimmy, don't cry. The head is still all right, but the trouble is elsewhere." MRS. GARFIELD'S COURAGE. Mrs. Garfield has behaved admirably. She has displayed a strength of character wholly unexpected. She has exerted a self-control that elicits the encomium of all by whom she is surrounded. After her private interview with her husband she summoned Dr. Bliss to a private apartment and there had a conference of half an hour with him. At the very start she told him that she wished to hear nothing but the truth respecting her husband's condition; that she was prepared for the worst, and knowing that the inevitable must occur, she, like the President, was prepared in a Christian spirit to submit to the will of God and whatever might occur, with all the fortitude and resignation at her command. Dr. Bliss then detailed the President's symptoms and entered into a full history of the case from the moment the President came under his treatment, which was within ten minutes of the shooting. Mrs. Garfield took it calmly—there was not a tear in her eyes. In speaking of her conduct during the interview Dr. Bliss said: "If there ever was a true heroine Mrs. Garfield has proved herself one of the noblest in romance or reality." THE ASSASSIN DEScribed. CHICAGO, July 2d. — A Chicago gentleman remarks of the assassin: "I remember Charles Guittteau well. He was here two or three years ago and seemed to have no visible means of support. He preached or lectured on religions and social subjects, upon which he was an enthusiast. He started in here as a lawyer, but failed utterly, and then tried to lift himself into notoriety by lecturing on religion one evening in each week." His card in the newspapers is produced to-day, and is a literary curiosity. He bored the newspapers by trying to get his peach culture. There is a valuable lesson in the article on Peach Culture, by Dr. David Stewart, of Port Dennn, Delaware, recently published in the Prairie Farmer. It has been conclusively proven during the past year, that the yellows of the peach tree, and the blight of the pear tree are not caused by low forms of parasitic life known as Bacteria preying on the cellular structure or stored nutrition of the tree. We are careful to say are, and not caused by, for the reason that we do not consider these Bacteria cause of the disease. For we still adhere to the theory that the parasitic forms of life do not attack healthy, normal, living tissue, but that there is always a weakened vitality before they can gain a footing. This weakness, then, is the cause of the disease—the Bacterium and other parasitic life found preying in living tissues, the result of that weakened vitality or life force. We also fully believe that all individual life has within its organism natural protective elements, in a greater or less degree, that guards its structure and elements, either of growth or nutrition against parasitic attacks. When these safeguards are weakened in any way, disease, as we call it, is liable to gain a foothold, and if these defenses are sustained in a normal condition, or strengthened, and the other elements going to make up an individual life are not seriously weakened or disorganized, these fatal diseases, as we call them—but rightly parasitic life—can neither gain a foothold nor spread with virulence if they do. Dr. Stewart's mode of treating the peach tree, taken collectively, is directly in the line of prevention. It fully remedies all the weakening influences or tendencies of the old way of cultivating and managing the peach orchard, and directly strengthens the vital and protective forces. For instance, the peach borer has a very weakening effect... SECRETARY BLAINE'S STORY. The President and I were walking arm in arm towards the train. I heard two shots and saw a man run. I started after him, but seeing he was grabbed, just as he got out of the room. I came to the President and found him lying on the floor. The floor was covered with the President's blood. A number of people gathered around shortly afterwards, and have some of that blood on their persons. I think I know the man. I think his name is Guitteau. The weapon used was a pistol about seven inches long. It had an ivory handle. The calibre was very large. It is what is known as a California pistol. It made a loud report. THE ARREST. Capt. Parke, the ticket agent at the depot, was the first to get hold of the assassin. He says that both shots were fired while the assassin was behind the President. When officers Scott and Curney were taking the murderer to the police headquarters, he said voluntarily to them: "I did it and will go to jail for it. I am a stalwart and Arthur will be President." He had a letter in his hand and wanted the officers to take it to General Sherman, saying it would be all right. The prisoner made no resistance, saying that he had contemplated the killing of the President and it was for the good of the country. About 9 o'clock the assassin went to a hack stand adjoining the station and engaged a hack from Barter, a colored hackman. He said he wanted to go to Glenwood cemetery in a short time and wanted the hackman to drive very fast when he should get into the hack. He agreed to pay two dollars for the hack on condition that he would drive fast. When stopped the assassin was going to the hack he had engaged, as he insisted that it was important for him to go and deliver a message to General Sherman. The following is a copy of the letter the assassin wanted delivered to General Sherman: "JULY 2d, 8 A.M. — THE WHITE HOUSE — The President's tragic death was a sad necessity but it will re-une the Republican party and save the Republic. Life is a fimsy dream and it matters little when one goes. A human life is of small value. During the war thousands of brave boys went down without a tear. I presume that the President was a Christian and that he will be happier in Paradise than here. It will be no worse for Mrs. Garfield (poor soul) to part with her husband this way than by natural death. He is liable to go at any time anyway. I had no ill will toward the President. His death was a political necessity. I am a lawyer, theologian and politician. I am in the interest of the stalwarts. I was with Gen. Grant and the rest of our men in New York during the canvass. I have some papers for the press which I shall leave with Byron Andrews (Inter-Ocean correspondent) and his co-journalists at 1420 New York avenue, where all the reporters can see them. I am going to jail. (Signed) CHAS. GUITTEAU." THE CAUSE. The assassin has been a persistent seeker after office, and it is thought that a failure to get an appointment made him regard the President as a personal enemy. He has no visible means of support, but gets his living by his wits. He came to see the President shortly after he was inaugurated, and has since been an almost daily waiter for an audience at the White House. He frequently wrote notes to the President, of which the following is a sample: "I regret the trouble you are having with Senator Conkling. You CHICAGO, July 2d. — A Chicago gentleman remarks of the assassin: "I remember Charles Guiteau well. He was here two or three years ago and seemed to have no visible means of support. He preached or lectured on religions and social subjects, upon which he was an enthusiast. He started here as a lawyer, but failed utterly, and then tried to lift himself into notoriety by lecturing on religion one evening in each week." His card in the newspapers is produced to-day, and is a literary curiosity. He bored the newspapers by trying to get his manuscripts printed. He failed also as a lecturer and then began life as a tramp of the respectable order. He was branded by the Hotel Association as a "dead beat." In appearance he is an American of French extraction, 35 to 40 years old, medium height, slender build, fair complexion, brown hair and French-shaped moustache, tinged with gray. His whole appearance was that of a dandified man of small mental calibre. He was unusually fond of notoriety and would do almost anything to get his name in a paper. He was arrested once for embezzlement. He got me in his head that he was fit for official position and has been trying, with all his power, to get the Conseilate at Marseilles. He has a sandy complexion and is slight, weighing not more than 125 pounds. He wears a moustache and light chin whiskers; and his sunken cheeks, and eyes far apart from each other, give him a sullen or, as an official described it, "a loony appearance." The officer in question stated that he noticed it to be a peculiarity of nearly all murderers that their eyes are set far apart and Guiteau, he said, proves no exception to the rule. S.M. White on the Tragedy. Stephen M. White delivered the Fourth of July oration in Los Angeles. In concluding he said: Fellow citizens, under ordinary circumstances, in view of the present condition of the atmosphere, I would close my address at this point. But the events of the past forty-eight hours demand some notice. For two days, and even up to this very moment, it has been a question whether we were to wear the garland insignia of rejoicing, or whether our dwellings and our persons should be draped in the habilitations of woe. The fact that the Chief Magistrate of this Republic has been stricken down by the assasin has roused popular indignation as it moved the universal heart. I have not, nor have any of you, met one man, be he Democrat or Republican, who does not regret from the source of his divinely emotion, this lamentable transaction. Some give more reasons for their regret than others, but all are emphatic in the declaration that when the bullet was directed at the President, a blow was aimed at the whole American people. I have heard a fear expressed that the cowardly act might be found to contain some of the same characteristics which have been exhibited in the violent deaths of other rulers. But this is clearly a mistake. I attach no more significance to the attack made upon our President than I would if his injuries had resulted from a railroad accident or other casualty. It is true that the one contains an element of malice not observable in the other. But at the same time the assailant did not act as the agent of any faction, any party, or any creed. If he is not absolutely insane he carried out his treacherous plans to satiate personal hate. Far from having any abeture or strengthened in any way, disease, as we call it, is liable to gain a foothold, and if these defenses are sustained in a normal condition, or strengthened, and the other elements going to make up an individual life are not seriously weakened or disorganized, these fatal diseases, as we call them — but rightly parasitic life—can neither gain a foothold nor spread with virulence if they do. Dr. Stewart's mode of treating the peach tree, taken collectively, is directly in the line of prevention. It fully remedies all the weakening influences or tendencies of the old way of cultivating and managing the peach orchard, and directly strengthens the vital and protective forces. For instance, the peach borer has a very weakening effect both on the nutrition and vital force of the tree; it is rendered harmless by the peculiar method of laying bare the crown and large roots of the tree in the fall, causing the bark to become so hardened that the young borer cannot penetrate through it. The plan of applying strong stimulating manures, potash and salt, at one point only, seems to be correct, for we have long thought that this was true way to manure trees, for if the manure is applied at one point only, and there plaintfully, the theory seems good that in such cases the tree can accept of, from this one point, all the extra nutrition it may require, and not be liable to a surfeit. At least the fertilizing matter will not, when applied in this way, derange or change the entire mechanical condition of the soil, as it will when applied broadcast. For we know that we can bury the carcass of a dead horse near a grape vine, and its roots will reach for it and take what needs, and no more, while it might prove very disastrous if the same horse were reduced to fine atoms and dug in among all the roots of the vine. We do not wish to draw these theories too fine, but they are most certainly worthy of serious thought. Potash, potash salts, the potash derived from ammonia, common salt, and soda salts, and the salts and sulphates of iron and manganese, appear to be the tonics and stimulants best adapted to strengthen the vital forces of the peach and pear, giving themthe strength to ward off these deadly parasites. But parasite is not a good name for Bacteriae; for parasites generally prey on living organisms; but do not destroy life while Bacteria destroys life in all parts that they occupy. We had an idea that thorough investigation might find a medication of some kind that would be absorb in its tissues, that would be a specific poison to Bacterium,and not to the tissues ofthe tree.But further investigation leaves us little hope that this is possible; for Bacteriae are found to bethe hardest of all forms of life to destroy.Very few ofthe most virulent and most deadly mineral or vegetable poisons have any effect on them; they can withstand extreme heat and cold,and it is scarceely reasonable to suppose that we will be able to find anything that will destroy their life without at,the same time,destroyingthelifeofthetissuesoccupiedbythem.

He has no visible means of support, but gets living by his wits. He came to see the President shortly after he was inaugurated, and has since been an almost daily waiter for an audience at the White House. He frequently wrote notes to the President, of which the following is a sample: "I regret the trouble you are having with Senator Conkling. You are right and should maintain your position. You have my support and that of all patriotic citizens. I would like an audience of a few moments." At times he was insolent. He used to seize upon the White House stationery, take some of it off and write innumerable letters. He would also utilize blank cards by writing himself a supply if he should ever need them, and the other day Colonel Crook, the disbursing clerk, said to him: "You seem to make yourself at home here and to be laying in a supply of stationery." Guitean retorted in an insulting manner: "Do you know who I am? I am one of the men who made the President." Last Tuesday he met one of the employees, and was very particular in inquiring when the President would leave, and by what train and road. He has an idiatic grin on his face at times. One day he said: "This is a h——of a Government. The people are no better than slaves." THE PRESIDENT'S FORTITUDE. WASHINGTON, July 3.—The President talked considerably during yesterday, according to Dr. Bliss. He was at times jocular and the vein of his conversation was of a light character and calculated to cheer his friends and attendants. Shortly after he was put to bed a messenger was dispatched to a neighboring establishment for a bottle of brandy. The man brought two bottles, and the President, perceiving this, joked with Dr. Bliss about a double allowance. The President early informed Dr. Bliss that he desired to be kept accurately informed about his condition. "Conceal nothing from me, Doctor," he said, "for remember that I am not afraid to die." Towards 4 o'clock, when the evidence of internal hemorrhage became unmistakable, and the indications pointed to his dissolution, the President asked Dr. Bliss what the prospects were. He said: "Are they bad, Doctor? Don't be afraid to tell me frankly. I am ready for the worst." "Mr. President," replied Dr. Bliss, "your condition is extremely critical. I do not think you can live many hours." "God's will be done, Doctor; I am ready to go, if my time has come," firmly responded the wounded President. A gentleman lately from the sick room says the President's son, James, was crying, and that when the father noticed it he said: Freight Conductor Jim Woodin was killed at Tipton, ten or twelve miles this side of Tulare last week. At 8:30 he had got on top of his train to signal a start. The train men having obeyed his signal, he turned to descend, slipping and falling between the emigrant and caboose cara. His head and shoulders were torn from his body, his death, of course, being instantaneous. On the same night a track-walker at Atwater, who was trving to board a freight train, had his arm torn off in the effort. A man by the name of John Dayly, who has been in the employ of Thomas Mooney, a ranchman at Selby Flat, Nevada, was found dead near the town reservoir. He had been missing since Sunday last. Justice Robinson held an inquest on 'the body, and the verdict was death from exposure and drunkenness. Henry Schmitt, employed by the Pacific Oil and Lead Works, San Francisco, as night engineer, was oiling the machinery near a large coog-wheel, when his clothing in some manner became caught in the cogs and he was completely ground to pieces. A large green worm resembling, and, in fact, identified with the tobacco and tomato worm, has attacked the splendid vineyard of Mr. Briggs at Davisville. One hundred and fifty men are engaged in destroying it. A courageous young lady named Susan Irvin recently killed a huge brown bear in the hills near Sequim., W.T. The latest accounts of the Rugby colony, in Tennessee, differ as to the probable failure or success of the enterprise, some making it appear that the colonists cannot much longer be kept together. While others are in accord with the following remarks by Hastings Hughes, a brother of Tom Hughes, the founder: "I was at first disappointed myself, but I have been reassured since my stay here. I do not agree that it would have been better to have sought a more prolific soil. The farmers on the prairie lands get demoralized. Their work is too easy. They can do very well on the five or six feet of black mud, but after they have exhausted it they become dispirited. The natives go in for dipping snuff and drinking this horrible whiskey, or they could do much better with the soil. If a man told me he wanted to get rich in a short time, that he didn't care for mismaa and agues and chills and all that sort of thing. I would send him elsewhere, and he might do better in a shorter time, but English people who can take their time about it, and who wish to keep themselves and their children healthy, will do much better here." There are 150 English residents at Rugby, and about as many Americana. Thirty to forty of the Englishmen are said to be rich men's sons gone wrong. Mr. Hughes holds funds in trust for them, and gives them just enough to cover their expenses at the hotel. Most of these fellows do not work, but spend their time hunting, fishing, and drinking moonshine whiskey. They have no serious intention of becoming settlers. One got drunk, went to sleep on a railroad track, and lost a hand. Vallejo Chronicle: The grape crusher and stemmer for which John L. Heald has recently secured a patent, is principally useful in preparing grapes for wine making. It consists of a pair of corrugated or fluted crushing rollers, which run together and are driven by suitable gearing; these rollers being provided with an attachment, by which they are separated and thrown out of gear whenever any hard substance or body which could injure them passes through. Below these rollers is a cylindrical case having its lower part perforated, and having a shaft extending longitudinally through it, so as to form a spiral extending from end to end, the object of which is to press the grape pomace through the perforated bottom of the cylinder, and to carry the stems and worthless portion out of the cylinder. Below this cylinder is an inclined grating; upon which the pomace falls, and from the lower end of which it is delivered into the carm., to be carried to the press; a hinged, movable gats controlling its discharge. The grapes either loose or in boxes are placed upon a peculiarly constructed elevator, where forming a vary effective apparatus for the purpose. GAZETTE. NO. 39 CULTURE. In 1858, Col. K. D. Baker, the magnificent orator, delivered a speech in San Francisco at the celebration following the laying of the Atlantic cable. A comet was then visible, and he made use of that fact in the following eloquent language: Even while we assemble to rejoice at the completion of the laying of the Atlantic cable, whose mysterious coil, hidden in the bosom of the sea, is to carry in throbs of fire the responsive heart-beats of great and kindred nations, the Almighty, as if to impress us with our weakness when compared with His power, has set a new signal of His reign in heaven. If to-night, fellow citizens, you will look out from the glare of your illuminated city into the northwestern heavens, you will perceive low down on the edge of the horizon a bright stranger purring its path across the sky. Amid the starry hosts that keep their watch it shines, attended by a brighter pomp, and followed by a broader train. No living man has gazed upon its splendors before. No watchful votary of science has traced its course for nearly ten generations. It is more than 300 years since its approach was visible from our planet. When last it came it startled an Emperor on his throne, and while the superstition of his age taught him to perceive in its presence a herald and a doom, his pride w in its flaming course and fiery train the announcement that his own light was about to be extinguished. In common with the lowest of his subjects, he read omens of destruction in the baleful heavens, and prepared himself for a fate which alike awaits the mightiest and the meanest. Thanks to the present condition of scientific knowledge, we read the heavens with a far clearer perception. We see in the predicted return of the rushing, blazing comet through the sky the march of ELOQUENT WORDS. In 1858, Col. K. D.

Amid the starry hosts that keep their watch it shines, attended by a brighter pomp, and followed by a broader train. No living man has gazed upon its splendors before. No watchful votary of science has traced its course for nearly ten generations. It is more than 300 years since its approach was visible from our planet. When last it came it startled an Emperor on his throne, and while the superstition of his age taught him to perceive in its presence a herald and a doom, his pride w in its flaming course and fiery train the announcement that his own light was about to be extinguished. In common with the lowest of his subjects, he read omens of destruction in the baleful heavens, and prepared himself for a fate which alike awaits the mightiest and the meanest. Thanks to the present condition of scientific knowledge, we read the heavens with a far clearer perception. We see in the predicted return of the rushing, blazing comet through the sky the march of A Historical Coincidence. The terrible event which has so deeply moved the entire nation lends another confirmation to the long line of peculiar disasters which strengthen superstition. Since the murder of Julius Caesar in 43 a.c., which was supposed to have been foretold by the appearance of the great comet, those luminous strangers have been considered harbingers of evil. Curiously enough, the attempted assassination of President Garfield has been immediately preceded by the appearance of another of these omens, which may, indeed, be the same that warned the Romans of impending calamity nearly two thousand years ago. Sensible people will, of course, laugh at an idea of connection between them the appearance in the heavens of a phenomenon of this kind and the murder of a great ruler. But it is up of those coincences worth nothing, as showing an extraordinary relation between the different periods of the world's history. It would be an interesting subject for psychologists to study the extent to which the imitative faculty of the human mind is able to be affected by abnormal influences. Numerous examples might be given of men impelled by some undefied power to imitate the acts of others. And it is possible that in this sense there may be some connection between the attempt in Washington to assassinate the President and that historical event twenty centuries ago. Much of the superstitious reasoning of all ages may be disposed of by some such theory. But the question has still a scientific side, and the half-carnest premonitions of evil that greeted the sudden discovery of the comet now visible in northern sky have received a very unexpected and terrible realization. Whether or not there be anything in the popular dread of these rare visitors, it remains recorded in the history of the United States that When these rare ways, disease, and strain a foothold, and maintained in a normal condition, and the other group an individual life is harmed or disorganized, we call them — but can neither gain a virulence if they mode of treating the actively, is directly in it.

The first is that of Mrs. Elizabeth Harris, a devout old woman who solenly declares A New Vine Disease in Spain. The "Correspondencia de Espana" reports that on the 3d of June the Agricultural Society of Valencia had received for examination specimens of vine-branches attacked by a new and terrible disease. The vineyards of the region of Aspe, Novelda and Monfortes are planted partly with vines called there "Montabana," and on the coast there generally known as the Boval variety. These have been suffering in the last three years, but their decay was ascribed to the effects of frosts. Now, however, the attention is called to the evil, as it becomes serious, and the loss in fruit this year, in the region mentioned, may be equivalent to one-fourth of the crop. The disease attacks the shoots, strangles them, impedes their nutrition, and kills them completely. ELGIN (Ill.), July 2.—The horses in this vicinity are afflicted with a peculiar epizootic that is sweeping in its contagion. One veterinary surgeon calls it "infienza fever of a typhoid-pneumonia type," and another says it is "scarlet fever." The animals affected are taken first with swelled and running eyes, the brain, kidneys and lungs being in turn affected. If taken in season it can be cured, but if neglected it becomes fatal. It is claimed by some of the farmers that the disease is a sort of ship fever, contracted of the horses brought from Europe by an importer of live stock, and standing at various places in the neighborhood.

It is recommended also to wash the old wood of the vines with green vitriol (sulphate of iron), which is also beneficial to vegetation. The value of the blue and green vitriol has been demonstrated this year in this State, but I think that preference should be given to the latter on account of its stimulating effect upon soils and vines. Two new cases of cure by prayer, alike wonderful if true, are reported. The first is that of Mrs. Elizabeth Harris, a devout old woman of Rochester, who solemnly declares that she broke her leg by a fall in the evening, that she prayed earnestly for several hours, that she felt the ends of the bone adjusting themselves, and that by morning a perfect recovery had been wrought, though it required an extra hour of prayer to remove the bruises from the surface. The second miracle is that related by the Rev. S. B. Simonds, a San Francisco Methodist pastor of excellent repute. He is 80 years old, and has always been a believer in literal answer to prayer. He was sick abed for two months with a fever, and then, several weeks ago, was attacked by violent pains. "While uttering my oft-repeated cry for help," he says, "a light appeared in the room, and in it stood one whom I instinctively felt was the Saviour. 'Jesus, oh Jesus!' I exhalized, how glad I am you have come! But I'm afraid it is too late. But if you can, do help me!" He seemed in no hurry to answer. I again appealed: 'Lord, if thou canst, wilt thou help me? My condition is so awful. What is the matter with me! Canst thou save me?' Still he did not at once reply; but I felt a perfect submission to his will. A radiance beamed quickly from his countenance, and it fell on my understanding as words on the ear: 'I can help you. I will. The trouble is that you have a very bad heart.' Then, by some superior power, my eyelids closed. When I could open my eyes I behold my heart in his hands. He turned it seemingly inside out, and pushed out apparently a stone. The stone fell hard upon the ground. Again my eyes closed, and I mentally said: 'How is this? I live, yet my heart is out.' Then I felt it back—so soft, so sweet. My eyes filled with grateful tears, which rolled profusely down my cheeks." The old clergyman gives the account with an earnestness that proves his own sincerity. H. W. White, chief clerk in the employ of Sisson, Wallace & Co., Truckee, was arrested under ten different charges of embeasment of the funds of said company entrusted to his care. He was preparing to leave the town, telling his friends he was going to leave town for a few days, when his trip was out short by his arrest, and he is now incarcerated. Oh, What a Cough!
