The Age ofUIKnrs.

The question of how old a cigar should be be-

like green cigar. The workmen who ought to

New York, already quite celebrated for its Cuban

Ice in scarlet Fever.

The Davenport Iowa, Gazette reports a case
Of scarlet fever in that city hopefully treated
with ice The patient was a little son Of W,
Foster, Esq On Saturday evening, he was so
far gone as to be unable to even whisper. The
feet were cold, while his head and body were
burning with fever.
As desperate remedy the attending physi-
clan tried what he had read Of, but never re-
sorted to, ice bandages about the throat. Relief
came in a brief time after the application of the
ice, and on Sunday the boy recognized and
spoke to his parents in clear voice Improve
ment continued up to Sunday evening with a
hope Of complete recovery.

The Presidents CHARACTER.
WHAT ooarErENr MEN THINK.

A Washington letter-writer says:
With all the divergence of opinion about the
mental characteristics of the President il is very
notable to observe that those who know him
best like him most. The highest estimate OF
his intellectual capacity has come from enemies
Frank Blair, for example.
But take the opinion of me who are about
him. George S. Boutwell,, Secretary of the Trea-
rury, says that Gen. Grant is a man greatly un-
derestimated by many. He has stated several
times that, in cabinet, the President almost al
ways leads; that he has distinct IDEAS and val
liable ones, on all the multfarious TOPICS Of
Importance which come under consideration
and that, instead Of being a silent or stupid
man, III any way he is ready, quick, and almost
always well and even infinitely informed. Gov.
Boutwell, is not regarded as at all enthusiastic,
ident.
Secretary Robeson. a very shrewd and keen
sighted man Of affairs, declares that Grant is the
leader Of his cabinet on all important topics. In
the main lie has taken the initiative on all the
principal features of his administration Mr..
Robeson's praise is re-aiirmed by Others
George William Curtis has several times ex-
pressed surprise at not only the comprehension
Of the civil service question shown by the Pres-
dent but his very complete mastery OF its de-
tails. When Mr.. Curtis first came he doubtless
expected he would have both to convert and in-
struct the Executive. OF course that gentleman
has never said this, but he stated he was very
much grained, as well as astOnished, to find
Gen. Grant very well posted not only on our
own, but the civil service system of other conn
tries.
Other gentlemen whom know, well informed
on distinct topics, have at all times expressed,
in my hearing, their surprise to find the Presi-
dent 30 well informed on their peculiar specially.
The matter of Ku-Klux outrages and legislation
thereon is another one of these examples. Sen.
ator Scott, or Representative Stevenson, the two
members Of the investigating committee who
may be deemed most thoroughly informed there.
