THE PRESIDENT.
The long talked of removal of the President from Washington wan made (in Tuesday, apparently with entire sue«wi. He wao taken from the White House shortly before six o'clock in the morning and reached Long Branch a little after one in the afternoon. The car in which he traveled waa ingeniously fitted up NO as to afford the least possible shock to his nervous system and the sick man bore the journey better than his physicians feared be might. Nevertheletw the operation caused some increase in his temperature and pulse, which, however, gradually subsided. The President now occupies a large and elegant cottage within a hundred feet of tho sea and is in a situation to have all his wonts ministered to as fully as eould have been dose at the White House. What the effect of the ocean breezes will be upon his shattered and debilitated system remains for the future to disclose but it can hardly be otherwise than beneficial. Hut should this not be the case and the President should yot die, there will be no regret at his removal, for death was, to all human probability, inevitable had be continued in Washington.
The news from Long Branch this morniug is of the most cheering and encouraging character. The President's appetite is good and he takes his food with a relish wants to see the members of the cabinet tho wound is healing, no further trouble is anticipated from the gland, and the doctors say if the cool weathor lasts, aid no new complications arise, the President will Je out of danger in ten days.
TIIKKK aro people who are always looking for the end of the world and the judgment day. Any uncommon aspect of tho sky is looked upon as "the beginning of iUo ikul -w4*W Moven vials is oxpected from the heavens. This class of people had an opportunity for indulging their fanciful fears, last Tuesday, throughout the New England States.
A curious atmospheric phenom
enon prevailed, which caused the morning light to have a strange yellow and greenish cast, in which all objects presented an unnatural appearance. Although tho sky was cloudless,
mid day,
the
day
grow so dark that the gas had to be lighted at
and continued until even
ing. As intimated, many people believed the end of the world was at hand, and collected together in fear and dread, wnUini for what should follow. Nothing followed but the coming night and the rising of tho sun all right the next day. AH to the true cause of the phenomenon, opinions differ. The more probable explanation la that the smoke from the forest tires In Canada, mingling with tho atmosphere, obscured aud modified the light of the sun.
Tti KUK are those who aro dispown! to *eoa possibility «f good in the attempted an*a?winatlon of the President. Tho\ argue that the great suffering and peril thus brought upon the nation's head have called forth a flood of sympathy from the people of all sections of the country, South as well as North, and that In the midst of a great and common sorrow such a* this, sectional bitterness and hatred have dropped out of sight and thought. There is no power so potent to subdue evil passions a* the coining of a great affliction and such an affliction coming upon our nation has tended to unify and weld together again all its discordant elements. There is reason In this view of the cene and who shall say that the hand of Provideuce may not be seen in this, to human sight only, dastardly and disgraceful crime?
Yei, even though good may come of it, the crime of the assassin is none tbe lew odious, as Judas will be forever detested though it was necessary that his Lord should be betrayed.
THIERS is good new* for tbe people wiio us# quinine. It is reported that in the district of Santander, United States of Colmbi*. a copper-colored Imrk has been discovered whk*» a perfect subutituie for quinine. Tbe new sut*tanee is railed "ouprea," from its copper color and it is wdd to have been put upon the New York market in Urge quantities. Hence the low price of quinine.
IT S* a matter for congratulation that the editor who pronounced Guiteau gtH«l a man as Oarfteld, doci no* hail from the s. nth. It was reserved for Illinois to fwoduot this untyne moral *. *«men.
ACORRBHPOXDKRT, writing from Minneapolis, give a graphic picture of the wonderful growth of that place. The city now has 00,000 people, and about 2,000 booses will be erected daring the present year, at a cost of some $4,000,000. It is predicted that the population of the city will be 100,000 by 1890, and that a union of the two dties, Minneapolis and St. Paul, will form the great metropolis of the Northwest. The flouring interests of Minneapolis are simply enormous, there being twenty-eight great mills, mostly of stone, six and eight stories high, which grind into flour 20,000,000 bushels of wheat per annum— a milling capacity doable that of any other city in the United States. The lumber business is almost as great. There are twenty mills, which produce 200,000,000feetof lumber, 60,000,000 shingles, and 30/)00,000 lath in a year. The dty is beautifully built of brick, stone and wood, and with wide, well shaded streets, and pretty dooryards, and is one of the handsomest young dties to be found anywhere. But the climate—in Winter—is cold say from zero to forty below. This fact must be considered in connection with other facts, by those contemplating Minneapolis as a place of residence. ___________ S
THERE is great difference of opinion as to the policy which ought to be pursued towards the noble red man. As between eivilization and extermination there appears to be no middle ground. Senator Harrison favors th\plan of giving land to the heads of fatZffies, instead of reservations to the tribes, separating the Indians as much as possible from their wild associations aud especially of putting the children into schools to be taught the various arts and sciences of civilized life. These savage children have shown themselves to be good material in the hands of more competent teachers and can without difficulty be instructed in the knowledge of civilized life. Doubtless if all the Indian children could be put into the English schools and properly educated, the Indian question would be solved in a single generation, but as long as the offspring of savage parents are permitted to grow up among savages, they will naturally never be anything but savages themselves. The solution of the Indian question must be from the roots, not the branches.
OUR railroad men will have to take to carrying arms. If the conductor, engineer and fireman, express and mall messengers, brake men, and others employed on trains, wore supplied with good revolvers, it would seem that such a robbery as occurred on the Chicago & Alton road, last Wednesday night, would not be possible. Although there wero perhaps a dozen of the robbers, a few well-directed shots into their ranks at the verv first onset, and the killing of one or two of their would have scattered the whole band in confusion. A little heroic treatment of tho kind indicated would spoedily have its effect and the robbing of passenger trains on our railroads would be attended with such hazard as to make the business less popular than it has beon of late.
Mas. BI!RNKTT, the well-known author of "Haworth's," and other popular novels, had an opportunity of showing tbe heroic side of her nature, at Long Branch, the other day. She and Mr. Anderson and his wife had gone down to the beach to bathe before breakfast—a time when there were few people about. Mr. Anderson dove off a bridge, and, the water being unexpectedly shallow, his he*d struck upon the ground, and he was badly injured. The ladles saw hipi

A NKW YORK correspondent says that while the prices for boarding in that city
from 5 to $25 per week, ac
cording to the style and location of the house, boarding house keepers, as a rule, do hot get ahead in life, managing only to make a comfortable living. Is not this the experience of boarding house keepers everywhere While the boarders complain of high prices and imaginethey are paying much more for their accommodations than they are worth, the patient and long auSering landlady drudge* and worries in sn endless treadmill, year in and year out, without apparently gaining one round on the HOctial ladder. There are some hotel keepers who get rich but we have never beard of such a thing happening to a boarding house keeper.
the thirty-nine mummies re
cently fousd in cave near Thebes, that of Ramses II., who is supposed to have been the Pharaoh that forced the children of Israel to make bricks with oat straw. The mummy is wrapped in rose-colored and yellow linen, of a tex tare finer than the finest India muslin upon which lotus flowers are strewn, and in a perfect state of preservation. It is enclosed In a case of *vc-,more wood, unpainted but beautifully carved. The five papyri found with tbe mummies, have not yei been opened, but are expected, when made out, to yield much new light on «arty Egyptian history.

IF HE DISS,
-If the Presibent dies, I shall give up my faith in Ood and my belief in the value of prayer." We heard a churchmember and a pretty consistent Christian man make that declaration. Now we do not claim to very profound theologians, hut it does seem to us that this is rather shallow talk. A belief in God and in prayer which could not outlive the death of tbe President, ought to have died long ago, for ten thousand prayers, ss earnest as those which are now offered, have not brought the objest plead for. There certainly have been enough sincere and earnest prayers which, to all human appearances, have failed, and have certainly failed to secure the sped tie object ssked for, to destroy in any thoughtful mind belief in God and in prayer, if it can be destroyed in that way. It is true tbatmore people have prayed for the President's life than usually join'in aay one specific petition. Everybody in this land whe ever prays has prayed for him. Kings. Queens, and their subjects, both high nrid low, in other lands, have joined their prayers with ours. But one who belibve* in God, does not believe that God simply counts heads and voices in dedding whether to answer. The cry of the mother forherchilld is not unheard because she is only one. The cry of the nation is not heard simply because it is the cry of so many. Numbers and earnestness doubtless add to tbe efficacy of petitions, but tbero are other and mere important conditions. The child in a pet may say, "I asked mother, and all my brothers and sisters asked her for me, and*all the children of the neighborhood begged her to give me what I wanted, and she didn't do it, and I do not believe she loves me, or that it does any good to ask her for anything." But does not the mother know better than her child, than all her children, than all the children of the neighborhood, what is best, and must not not her love prompt her to do what is best? That is good reasoning for the family, and if there is a meaning to "Our Father," as applied to God, is it not good reasoning there Does not God know what is lxjst, better than all tbe people, better tlian Kings and Queens even And if He knows what is best, while we pray for what seems to us best, we ought also when what we ask for does not come, to give him as much confidence as we give our mothers. How or why prayer produces its results we know not. But we do know that men instinctively pray when in straits, just as all this nation is praying now. And we cannot think that infidelity will gain any ground in case the President does not live.
Some light may come in this matter
and this
about if indeod it could have been brought about at all. If it is possible even now to trace so much good wrought out ofthisevit, we can trust tho same kind Providence to work out good frotti wlmtever comes in the future. Nevertheless we will as earnestly as ever desire] the life of tho President.

THE BETTER WORLD.
CHURCHES, PASTOR AND PEOPLE ____ The new pastor of the Congregational church, will not be here until the first Sunday in October.
Rev. James W. Greene, pastor of Asbury M. E. church, has returned from Conference, and regular services will be resumed, to-morrow, at 10:30 a. m. and 7:30 p. m.
Rev. C. R. Henderson will conduct services at the Baptist church to-mor-row. His morning subject at 11 a. m., will be "The Divine Panoplyat 7}4 p. m., "Christ's Victory in Judgment."
The Rector, Rev. S. F. Dunham, will officiate at St. Stephens church to-mor-row. Sunday-school 9:15 a. m. Morning Prayer, 10:15 a. m. Litany, Sermon, and Holy Communion 11, a. m.
The conference at Danville has returned to this dty Rev. J. W. Green and Rev. W. R. Mikels—the first to the pulpit of Asbury and the latter to Centenary church, much to the gratification of both congregations.

At Central Presbyterian church, tomorrow, preaching by Rev. Thos. Parry, at 11 a. m. Subject: "Whither are we Drifting The Lights and Shadows of the Present Age. Something for the thinking man to consider." Evening subject: "WhatThink Ye of Christ."
At Centenary Church to-morrow will be service in the Lecture room conducted by the Pastor Rev. W. R. Mi kels. Class 9:30 a. m. Preaching 10:30 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. Sunday School 2:30 p. in. Members of the church and congregation are earnestly requested to be present. "A ripple of surprise ran through the Catholic population of Milwaukee," says the Sentinel of that dt}r, "at the announcement on Sunday that the confirnaation of a yonth in that Church organization must hereafter be preceded by attendance for a year or more at a school supervised by the Church authorities."
The Chicago Inter Ocean states for a fact that: Last Sunday night during service a West Side clergyman noticed several of his congregation dozing, and one man in particular was snoring vigorously. The preacher paused in his discourse, and, pointing to him, said, "Willsomeone stop that man'ssnoring I fear he will keep the rest of the congregation awake.
The Christian Intelligencer thinks that the prevailing habit of having a good dinner on Sunday is doing much to break down the popular feeling of the sacredness of the Lord's Day. It says that a little good management on the part of tbe housekeeper would enable her to prepare a satisfying repast, the prindpal part of which could be cooked on .Saturday. Directions are past might with propriety "Be cooKSa on Sunday. The old practice among many who rigidly insisted on cold Sunday dinners was to draw the lines against all hot things except potatoes, which were allowed to be boiled on the day of rest. But while it advocates cold dinners for Sunday the Christian Intelligencer discountenances ice cream, which is probably as cold a dish as can served. It bewails the fact that many confectioners havo placards in their windows announdng their willingness to send this frigid luxury to the doors of their patrons on Sunday, and in like manner laments that many good people, who twenty years ago were strict in the observance of tho day, now have the ice cream cart roll up to thdr houses and deposit freezers at their basement doors.
