Tl,e Washington correspondent OF the

that Dir. Blaine's physicians arc the sgme
that attend Speaker Kerr, who, though not
so WEAK as on Friday, was nevertheless in
prostrase condition Sunday. The infirms-
ties OF the Speaker and ex-Speaker have had
remarkable effect IN removing asperities
incident to political warfare, and the most
earnest sympathy was expressed for the
speedy recovery OF Mr.. Blaine and Mr..
Kerr. The friends OF Mr.. Blaine are
alarmed less in the ieW days he may regain

THE EXEMPTION LAW

The following, in brief, Is the chnrac-
ter of the exemption law (article 64l
| of the Code of practice) as amended
which passed the Legislatures, com
monty known as the 5000 law:
| The sheriff or conStiblc cannot seize
! the linen and clothes belonging to the
| debtor or his wife, nor his bed, bedding
bedStead, nor those of his family. nor
| his arms and military Announcements,
| nor his tools and instruments, and books
! and sewing machine necessary for the
exercise of his or her calling, trade or
profession, by which he or she makes Il
living, nor shall he in any case seize the
| rights of personal scrvitudo Of use and
habitatiOn Of usufruct to the estate of 1,
minor child, nor the income of dotul
property, nor money due for the salary
of an officer nor laborer's wages, nor
cooking stove and utensils of the said
stove, nor the plates dishes, knives, and
forks and spoons, nor the dining table
and dining chairs, nor Washtubs nor
smoothing irons and ironing furnaces,
nor family portraits belonging to the
debtor, nor the musical instruments
played on or prncticed on by any mem
Der of the family.
The second section imposes fine OF
5000 and imprisonment for Il term not
exceeding six months, or both, ut dis
cretion Of the court, for Selling any of
the articles exempt in the nct, or for
causing any one to sign any right of
exemption.
Section repeats all laws in conflict,
and section specially cXcmpts from
the effect of this act the $1,000 allowed
the widow and minor children left in
necessitous circumstances, and also the
exemption applying to the rural and
agricultural districts.

DEATH OF THE CAPTIVE GORILLA.

The only captive gorilla in existence
recently died in the Geological Gardens,
in Dresden. The animal, a female, was
supposed to be II chimpanZcc, and was
only lately that, to the surprise of All
naturalists, her gorilla characteristics
were recognized. The story of the
death scene of this almost human mon
key is u remarkable one, since it goes
to show that the animal was the posses
sor of feelings hitherto deemed absent
among the brutcs. Says Il writer in the
London Echo: H-As Director sSchopf
(the director of the Gardens) leaned
over his fOvorite, the ape drew him
toward hcr, placed her arm around the
neck of her kind friend, and look ed at
him for some time with clear and tram
quill eyes; she then kissed him three
times, with short intervals between
each salute, motiOned to be laid upon
her couch, gave her hand to Schohf-
as though bidding farewell to com
panion of many happy ycars-and slept
never to wake again"

MORAL OF THE BELKNAp CASE.
IFron the Nation.l

! The crisis came when an Ignorant
soldier coarse in his tastes and blunt in
his perceptions, fond of money and
material enjoyment and of low compa-
| ny, was put in the Presidential chair.
We blame nobody for this, and nobody
was blamed. The party did the best it
could under the circumstances, but his,
real character as Il civilian began to
appear very early in his administra-
ton. 1t was fully revealed when he
! received his second nomination, and
ON the day he received it tho Republi-
can party assumed the responsibility for
him and his followers which is TODAY
covering it with infamy.
| We have been warning the readers,
of this journal for seven years that to
this complexion it would come at last:
that the regime under which we were
| living was so coarse and VenaI that it
| must end in some tremendous catns-
! trophe that would cover us with shame
and fill us with despair; that the South
| ern 'soatrages' were but a blind, set 1up
by the thieves to throw the police Off
| the scent, and that the great enemies
of free government in this country were
| to be found not in Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi, but in Washington; and that
| the chorus of adulation and apology
which WAS addressed every year by
Republican editors and Republican
conventions to the President were only
| hardening somewhat obtuse and sell
fish nature in courses and associations
which were full of danger to the
country.
The mischief is, however, by no
! means irreparable. We have Just one
year more Of this deplorabl administra-
ton to bear with, and during that peri
cd we must, while pushing on the
| work of Investigation and pray ing that
the discovery of guilt may stop short
of the highest place, possess our soul
in patience. But 1t is still in the power
ofthe American people to sec that tho
affection does not recur by clecting n
President whose sympathics and ASSOC
| Citations connect him with tho best
social life of the country, who belongs
to its men of honor and intellect and
morality, who is familiar With its best
political usages ana traditions, and who
| is either content with the fortune he
has or whose character has been tried
by'teInptation and resisted it, and who
has the courage which is needed to
head Il revolution. For revolution
