Personal and Political.

IN their State Couven‘ion at Elmira on the 24th the New York Greenbackers reaffirmed the resolutions adopted at the Chicago National Convention in 1880. They also resolved that all money paid to railroad companies for transporting persons or property in excess of what is required to pay the legitimate expenses of operating such roads and a fair retufn on their actual cpst is in violation of the fundamental law of public use which allows railroads to be built, and should immediately be prohibited by legislative enactment; that railroad companies should be prohibited by law from- charging more for transporting property during the season when water navigation is closed than they charge for like. services during the season of open water navigation, and that “we work for the lawful suppression of any traffic or custom that encourages crime.” A resolution was alse adopted sympathizing with the President, denouncing the act:of the assassin, and declaring it the result of the spoils systeni. Nominations were made as follows: For Secretary of State, Epictus Howe; Comptroller, John Hooper; Attorney-General, Dennis C. Fealey; Treasurer, Allen G. Woods; Sur-geon-General, J. H. Gould; Associate Judge of the Court of Appeals, L. C. McParlan. THE recent search for the remains of the late A. T.

He was afraid to pass the cells of the other prisoners, for fear that in some way they might manage to Kkill him. He even feared personal violence at the hands of the guards. In some manner the news of the President’s extreme danger had reached him, and hé fully expected in some way to meet a violent death at the hands of some one ivho would avenge the shooting of the President. He had no thought but for his personal ' safety, and dreaded the approach even of the harmless attendant who brought him his meals. COLONEL J. G. BENTON, commandant at the Springfield (Mass.)

THE Yorktown Centennial Commission ‘and the citizens of Washington and Baltimore have decided to, entertain the invited guests of the Nation in Baltimore on the 10th, 11th and 12th of October, and in Washington on the 13th, 14th and 15th of the ‘same month. It is expected that twenty distinguished guests from France will be _present on the occasions. It is also’expect“ed that the French Government will send over two Jarge war-vessels with troops. ‘The ships will arrive about the sth.of QOcto‘ber, and the Centennial Commissioners have determined to invite the officers to attend the various entertainments. .

It is stated that on the night. of the 25th President Garfield recognized his wife sitfing by his bedside, and, addressing her in a weak and trembling voice, said: ‘¢ Crete, you had better go to your room and get a little rest.”” Mrs. Garfield begged to be permitted to stay a little longer, whereupon the President remarked that he feared the time was at hand when they should separate forever. Mrs. Garfield was severely shaken by this last Tgmark, but bravely mastered her feelings and appeared composed.

What he did say was that he had been informed of the existence of a formidable organization, the purpose of which was to make sure that Guiteau should not.escape punishment, and which did not intend that he should ever be taken to an insane asylum alive. Colonel Corkhill adds: ‘I don’t believe a regiment of‘'soldiers could prevent them from accom- | plishing their purpose.”. -~ : ] ‘BUDLONG A.

LATER NEWS.

THE improvement in the President’s condition which began on the 27th continued without any interruption up to the morning of the 30th.’ The attending surgeons agreed on the 29th that the case showed a 3 marked and decided change for the better, and a change which-held out a promise of permanence. ' The President’s attendants took even a more sanguine view of the condition, and manifested a hopefulness which verged upon assured confidence. A slight incision in the gland during the morning was attended with favorable results. During the day the Presidént received food of a more substantial nature, and of a greater quantity, than for many days. [His mental faculties were clear, and, acting with his improved condition, aided the work of recovery. While recognizing that the President was still in a dangerous condition, Dr. Bliss said e | no hesitation in saying he thought v::, . .ances were in favor of his recovery. At the evening dressing a pretty fair diécharge of healthy pus took place from the parotid . swelling, which was perceptibly diminishing in size. - Pulse, 110; temperature, 100.5; respiration, 18. In his night ciablegram to Minister Lowell Secretary Blaine stated that each hour the apprehension of serious danger from blood-poison ‘was diminishing. Dr. Frank H.

IN THE PRESIDENT'S SICK-ROOM., Another Crisis in the President’s Condition Sufely Passed—After Hope Had Been Almost Abandoned the Patient Rallies, and ‘Hope Once More Takes the Place of Despondencey, . e WASHINGTON, August 27.

In the earlier stages of thé President’s casa, when his vitality was still strong, and while changes in his condition from better to worse and from worse to better corresponded with the ebb and flow of the surgical fever, it was noticeable that the low tide of physical condition eame in the evening and the high tide of improvement in the early morning. The febrile rise was then the most prominent feature of the case, and as this periodical increase of fever was largely due and caused by disturbances, excitement, the heat and the surgical manipulations of the day, it reached its culmination in the evéning. During the night the absence of all exciting and disturbing influences, and the rest and refreshment of sleep, cau%;ad a gradual improvement in the patient’s symptoms, and his condition touched its most favorable point in the early morning. Since, however, the manifestations of fever became secondary in importance to the manifestations of exhaustion, the high and low tides of condition, if they may be so called, have so far as time is considered been exactly reversed. The patient now seems to_ have. his worst hours in the eurly morning und his best hours in the afternoon and evening. His system sinks during the night and rallies in the early part of the day. This flagging of all the DPresident’s vital energies in the morning was .especially noticeable to-day. Between four and seven a. m. his pulse was high and feeble, his mental condition rather despondent, and all his symptoms discouraging. Most of the members of the Cabinet were. at the Executive Mansion at an early hour, dnd the fact that they did not leave after the appearance of the morning bulletin was one of the many indications that-both they ‘and the surgeons felt the gravest apprehensions. ' The bulletin was of a meager and rather unsatisfactory character, but it clearly indicated a change for the worse, and all information_ obtainable unofficially from the surgeons was fully in correspondence with it. Soon after the morning examination, however, the patient rallied slightly, the range of his pulse became lower, a faint improvement was apparent in its tone, and before noon the urgent alarm of the early morning began to subside. About noon most of the Cabinet officeis left the Executive Mansion, feeling ‘assured that even at the worst death was not imminent. The President’s coudition at noon, as described by several of the attending surgeons, was substantially as followg: In the first place, his exhaustion had liome a very threatening and dangerous feWture of the case. His stomach, enfeebled -by the poisoned condition of the blood, seemed unable to propeily and completely. assimilate the food given it, and the result was a steady and unmistakable failure of all the vital powers, indicated by a higher, feebler and more fluctuating pulse, a less satisfactory condition of the wound, and until to-da‘y, a considerable degree of mental disturbance. The condition of the swoollen parotid gland had not changed in any respect forthe better. There had been a slight discharge of pus both from the incision made several days ago and from the orificc of the ear, l{ut its quantity was not sufficient to relieve the inflammation or diminish the size of the swelling. The gland continued, therefore, to exert a depressing and dangerous influence upon the patient’s already weakened vitality, and there was no ‘prospect of any immediate change for the . better in its character. The process of repair along the track of the ball had ceased, and the granulations: were becoming noticeably less gerfect. The pus discharged by the wound was also unnatural in appearance and consistency. All these unfa‘vorable symptoms were due _directly or indirectly to the vitiated condition of the blood. . In the opinion of the surgeons the danger of death from exhaustion might be avoided were it -not for the condition of the gland, but it seemed very doubtful whether the process of repair could begin or go on in the presence of that com= plication. Such in brief were the unfavorable features of the President’s case at noon. The only favorable symptoms were the continued ability of the stomach to take and retain food, and a clearer and more perfect action of the brain. Soon after noon the President’s attendants reported a slight improvement in his condition. At two p. m. Colonel Rockwell sent the following telegram to W. N. Robertson, New York: : ¢¢ At this hour (two o’clock) the President is quite comfortable. His pulse is 114. He voluntarily remarked that he felt stronger than yesterday. Whatever the future may bring he has not yet given any signs of:dissolution. He said years ago that ‘lt was alwass the unexpected that was happening with him.’ *?

Later in the afternoon the surgeons admitted that some of the President’s symptoms were more encouraging. His pulse began to show greater steadiness and a slightly improved quality, and his mental faculties were clearer and more active than at any time during the past week. . Both these symptoms were taken as indications of improved mutrition. - The President himself voluntarily said several t%les in the coursér of the aiternoon to his attendauts that he thought he felt better than he did yesterday, and remarked that for the first time in severl days he found himself able to taste the food which he swatlowed. The 6:30 official bulletin showed a slight amelioration of the patient’s symptoms, and. although the change was too trifling to justify any great amount of encouragement, it was eagerly accepted by those. who could not bring themselves to believe that the President would die, as ground for renewed hope. Dr. Bliss,in conversation withthe Rev. Dr, Powers, . pastor of President QGarfield’s church, said abotx; seven o’cluock that the President had had thus far rather a better day than was anticipated this morning. He dig not think there was enough change, however, as yet to justify any anticipations of recovery or to modify the views entertained by himself and the other surgeons as to the extreme gravity of the crisis. ¢“lf,” he said, -“the President gets. through tomorrow as well as he has to-day, I thins there will be some ground for encourage‘ment.”’ : : i

i - ATGUST 28. Last evening, after seeing the President comfortably settled for the night, Dr. Bliss went to the surgeons’ room and threw himself on a couch to get a little rest; but he found it impossible to sleep without first satisfying himself with regard to the-extent aad aignificance of the patient’s recent improvement. About two o’clock one of the attendants called him and said the President was awake. , Upon going into the sickroom he found the slightly improved condition of the afternoon fully maintained.. The patient seemed cheerful and better; his mind was perfectly clear, and his pulse was steady at about 104. The regular watches taken by General Swaim, Colonel Rockwell, Dr. Edson and Dr. Boynton were Jot maintained during the night, for the reason that these attendants were all too anxious to sleep,and none of them were willing to be.absent for any great length of time from the sick-rosm. They were all present together, therefore, during most of the night. About five o’clock the President ‘was again sponged allover with alcohol and

water, and seemed fo be greatly refreshed. His pulse had fallen to 102.- He rested quietly during the remainder of the early morning, and.at 8:30 on examination his pulse was found to be 100, with temperature and respiration normal. ~ * Mrs. Garfield, encouraged by the President’s evident improvement late Saturday evening, andbwearie,d by previeus watching, went to bed before midnight and slept most of the pnight. She was in thesickroom again at five in the morning and sat for awhile by her husband’s bedside fanning him. ; 3 : After the appearance of the morning bulletin, Dr. Bliss came out of the surgeons’ room again and said the President’s symptoms were very favorable and indicated he wis inthe way of recovery. Too much encouragement, however, should not, he thought, be drawn from the present favorable condition, because it wus not yet certain it would be permanent. Dr. Hamilton, who came out shortly afterward, said the ° patient’s symptoms showed marked improvement. - Dr. Boynton, being asked whether he felt encouraged, replied: *‘l feel not only encouraged, but very much encouraged.’’ General Swaim, in answer to the same question, said: *‘‘l have been depending on Garfield’s pluck now for twenty-five years, and I tell you he is going to get well.” ~__Colonel Corbin telegraphed afriend: *“Dr. Hamilton says we are afloat and off the breakers.?

Although the President’s pulse and temgerature rosg slightly during the afternoon, e continued to.do well, and at five General 'Swaim.te&:grthed afriend: * The improvement in the President’s condition is, still gmint;a’ined.l All are hopeful, some confient. ) (R

About the middle of the afternoon the President expressed a degire to see his daughter Mollie, and when she entered the room and came to his bedside he took her hand and asked her about her health. She replied she was well, and inquired how he himself felt. He said ‘I am better. Ask your mother if the boys cannot come in.”? Soon afterward James came tothe bedside and was greeted by his father affectionately. The President’s pulse, however,- began to rise. with the excitement and .. emotion of this interview with his children, and it Lv_as thought best not to allow Harry to see im.

During the evening the President rested quietly, and his fever »y eleven o’clock had subsided.

Dr. Boynton at half-past nine this even~ ing gave the following statement of the present aspect of the President’s case: ‘*ln my opinion all the patient’s symptoms tonight show a marked improvemént. In the first place, his mind, which was for a week more or less affected by the vitiated and impoverished condition of his blood, 'is now periectly clear and active. Up to Friday night or Saturday morning I don’t think his = will-power . had had for six or seven days any sustainining influence upon his body. He had no strong. will-power. Since yesterday morning, however, there has been in this respect a noticeable change. Not only is he more cheerful and hopeful, but his will has recovered its power of sustained effort, and it is now co-operating with all his vital energies in the struggle of his whole being for life. The condition of his stomach, so far as ability to take food is ¢concerned, continues good, and I think there is a further slight improvement in the processes of assimilation and nutrition. He has swallowed to-day more than thircy ounces of liquid nourishment, consisting- chicgg of beef juice, peptonized milk. and miik porridge, and has had in addition two nutritive enemata. This supply of food is entirely adequate, if properly assimilated.” Dr. Rayburn said at a late hour to-night: ‘‘ The hopes of yesterday have, I think, been fully realized, and I feel greatly encouraged. The appearance of the patient’s wound is pbetter. Granuiation more perfect, and the gus discharged less watery. The gland has‘not changed a great deal. I think by to-morrow morning it will be ready for pricking in another place, at least such are tue indications now. Itisdischarging freely from all openings, and, although it'has not decreased much in size, its tension is somewhat relieved. Not a single feature .of the case has grown worse to-day, and the general condition shows a marked improvement.?? . di

Hope and Fear.

The violent alternations of hope and fear through which the people have passed during the last eight weeks constitute an unexampled episode not .only in the history of this country, but in the history of the world. Indeed, such an episode could not occur in any other country, because in no other country is there such universality of respect dand love for the political institutions thereof. As every citizen of the United States is part and parcel of the Government, a vicious blow aimed ‘at the heart of the Chief Executive of the Nation wounds every citizen;: Every citizen resents it as a personal indighity, and every citizen is touched with sympathy for the sufferings of the chosen head of the Gov~ ernment of which- he is part. Hence in every household in the land the cloud of sorrow which hangs heavily over the Executive Mansion ‘is reflected. Under these circumstances, the extreme tenderness which bas characterized the sentiments of ine whole people toward Piesident Garfield and the members of his family in their great affl.ction is most appropriate, most credituble. It is n new revelation of patriotism, and an assurance’ that neither the strife of politics nor the greed of gain has availed’ to harden the heart of the American people. In a great emergency patriotism emerges from the shudow of factional and partisan controversi s: and greet“ings of universal good-fellowship are hgartily exchanged. A great sorrow has been potent to unite a great people. I the ray of hope of the President’s recovery. is destined to bhe . dispelied, and the great man fiually sinks away to rest, there is no nook or corner of the land where he will not be mourned, no place in the Nation where his memory will not be tenderly revered.

Arthur Ainsleigh turned quickly but quietly from the landscape on which his eyes were fixed-a bit of green meadow fringed with hills, on whosé tops'the rays of the setting san were just resting, bringing out the bright tints of the heather, and giving to the whole scene a rich, warm _colorin§ such as one gees in. the works.of the old masters that gem the fa)leries of Europe—and looked: tenderly but firmly g_tdthe beautiful girl who stood by his S o e B

¢ No, my darling,” he said, taking her small hgnd gentgly; in his, ‘I cannot stake you so high as that. . Let it be a dollar, sweetheart, and the money is The girl started back as if stung by a serpent, the sudden movement revealing eachn'fraceful. outline of her lithe figure and showing the pertect symmetry of her - ashes-of-roses polonaise, which had two rows of" plaiting down the front and was shirred up the backstretch ‘and pretty well around thelower torn. - e e e

Looking at the young man steadily for a moment, she said, in low, tremulous tones'that showed far more plainly than the ghastly paleness of her face the terrible emotions that were racking her soul: - **You ' are a -mean, hateful thing,” and, bursting suddenly into a fit of wild, hysterical weeping, she left the room.

They had been married but four months, Arthur Ainsleigh and Ethel Quirk, and already the biack clouds of domestic discord were showing their forbiddipg outlines on the edge of the erstwhile rosy horizon, while the jagged bolts of jealousy were lighting up with a lurid glare the empyrean so recently untlecked by a cloud, and the hoarse mutterings of discontent and waning love revérberated in hollow and mournful tones throughout the dome of the ideal palace of love which these two young hearts had so short a time since built for themselves. :

It was a simple matter that had brought about this.disgord: Ethel wanted five pairs of stockings at fifty cents per pair, while Arthur/had decided that two was all she needed. ©-

The door was sottly opened and Ethel came in. Arthur did not hear her.: Stepping softly across the room she knelt beside him, and, throwing her soft, warm arms around his'neck, said, in a voice broken with emotion: *¢l will take the doliar, darling.”' <~ b e e Arthur looked - up suddenly and saw that ‘Ethel’s eyes: were suffused with tears. Kissing them gently away, and spittinz the salt water out of his mouth while her head was again resting trustfully on: his shirt-front, he said: ‘I knew you would see-E was right,”” and handed her the doMax. . =O~ 70

Within two hours’ ride of Terre Haute can be found a spot where the thermometer never registers more than . fif-ty-four degrees, while the heated mercury is dancing around a hundred in this city. This place is called the «Shades of Death,””- and i 3 located in Montgomery County, four miles north of Waveland, or forty miles north of this city. ~The ‘‘Shades of Death” is.a canyon, as wide as Ohio. street, and about three squares long. On each side of the canyon are steep hills rising from one hundred and tifty to twe hundred feet high. On the sides of these hills are pine, hemlock and cedar frees, interlocked so closely as to prevent the sun from ever shining into the depths below, causing a perpetual shade. The ground everywhepg abounds in ferns from one to three feet in height. Within this canyon are- three delicious springs, throwing out a large volume of ice-cold water. At” the lower part of the canyon there is a -cascade with a fall of about forty-five feet.—Zerre Houte: Erpress: omr i g B
