No change of temperature, cloudy
skies, mostly %southerly winds, perhaps
shifting to the west, and 40 rain in
the lower Missouri valley, but local
rains in the Tennessee and Ohio val
ley, T the weather predictions for
to-day. This renders it a matter Of
uncertainty whether we will have a
shower here to-day. 1t is, however,
quite sure that we are not to feel any
GOODNESS in the breeze to-day or to-
night. Local rains are predicted to-
day in the upper lake region, the
south Atlantic, the middle, and the
New England states, but elsewhere in
America there will be no rain. The
people of Texas, and the cotton belt
generally, can gather the staple to-day
without interruption.

Talk Garfield Bat Bet Hancock
Brooklyn Eagle, 5th.

Brooklyn Eagle, 9Th.
General Hancock was in splendid spirits this
morning and never looked better. He has re-
covered from his indispositiou entirely. There
were several callers whom he received in his
Office Among them was nj. Stewart, ESQ.,, an
attorney and counselor of prominence a5 Ra-
wanna, Ohio. This gentleman told Gen. Han.
cock to the infinite amusement of the latter
that he had come long way to shake his hand !;
that he never held an Office and never intended
to; that he was an original Breckenridge peace
Democrat; that he had been q member of
several national Democratic conventions and
presented the name of Tom Seymour of Con-
necticut, at the Chicago convention that nomi-
mated George B. Mcclellan; that he now lived
in the adjoining township to General Gar
fields home; that he knew Garfield as well as
Gen. Hancock knew his nearest neighbor, and
that Garfield would not poll his party vote for
Mr.. Stewart got this all off in the off-hand
Western style that was amusing indeed. He
told story of what he saw Cleveland Repub-
lican do the other day. This individual, whose
name he gave mot for publication" was talk
ing Garfield very loudly to knot of Demo-
Gratis. He wound up by offering to bet 300
that he could name the next President of the
United States
The bet was promptly covered by one Of the
Democrats, whereupon the Cleveland man
named winfield Scott Hancock"
The Democrat protested against this. why"
said he you've been blowing Garfield for an
hour. That amt square"
"Oh,' said the Cleveland man, ''when talk
talk Garfield. When bet. bet on Han
cock"

These associations are bonded together not for
the purpose of keeping this or that man, but
for saving the country for God and eternity.
After less relevant remarks Mr.. Stuart extend
ed his hand to Gen. Garfield, saying: "But it
is better as it is. take great pleasure in In
Producing our Christian friend and brother,
Gen. Jas. A. Garfield, of the United States" !"
MIR. Garfield rose, bowed once and sat down.
AS he was on one end of the platform those on
the opposite side of the building were unable
to see him. Mr.. Stuart requested him to come
to the front of the platform and bow again.
As he stepped forward there were cries from all
parts of the audience, Speech" Speech" J"
'Let him speak," Garfield" Garfield" etc.
The general bowed and when quietiwas restored
said: 81 thank You for this recognition. This
is not, IN my judgment, proper time or place
general then stepped down. At signal from
Mr.. Stuart vast number of white hsndker.
chiefs were waved by the audience, the effect
being very striking and singular. This is
called the Chatauqua sail and takes the
place on extraordinary occasions of
applause, whichlis not allowed. After the sing
ing of hymn the meeting closed. As Gen.
Garfield descended the platfrom there was q
rush, striving to shake his hand, but when Stuart
called out request to defer this to some
other time, he was allowed to go out undisturb-
ed, and returned at once to the hotel. The
General and his party leave here at 5 A. NJ.
Monday for Cleveland by way of Cory and
Erie. reaching Cleveland about 4 80 P. NJ. They
are passing very quiet and restful day here.
CHAUTAUQUA, Aug. 8.--This morning Gen.
Garfield and members of his party met the
Jubilee singers at the cottage M. T. d. Oarley,
and listened to some of their songs. Several
ladies we're present and there was an informal
conversation and exchange of "reminiscences.
The General then returned,the hotel.

CATHOLIC CONSIDERATION.
"A Notable Ceremony at Columbus, O.--Con'

"A Notable Ceremony at Columbus, O.--Con-
secration of Bishop Watterson.
COLUMBUS, o., Aug. s.-One of the greatest
events of Catholicity in Ohio, took place here,
in the conservation of the Right Rev. Jno. A.
Watterson, as Bishop of Columbus. This oc-
casion attracted an immense crowd from var
,ious sections of the State, coming in large ex-
'cursio ntrains with bands of music and rich
regaliaed societies, among them the ancient
Order off Hibernians, benevolent societies
and temperance societies. Very few of those
present could gain entrance to the grand
cathedral of st. Josephs' place of conservation.
About ], 500 were admitted by tickets. Eighty
five priests and eight bishops were present
The officers Of the mass were Rt. Rev: VIM.
Henry. elder conseorator; Rt. Rev. VIM.
George McClousky, first assistant; Rev. J.
Tuigg, second assistant; Rt. Rev. Edward
priest; Very Rev. N. A.. Gallagher,
deacon of honor; Rev. F. X. Specht and Rev.
N. E. Pilger, deacons of the mass; F. j. Camp
bell, sub deacon of the mass; Rev. J. j. Fitz-
gerald, first master of ceremonies; Rev. w.
Mulhone, second master of ceremonies; Rev.
@. Goldschmidt third master of ceremonies;
Rev. John McGerck, chaplain to Bishop Wat
terson. Fathers Hayes and Ahren and Bishops
Duengen, of Fort Wayne, and Toebbe, of Gov
ington, were also present. The sermon was
preached by Bishop Fitzgerald on the evils of
the present generation. O'Clock the mass
and ceremony was over and Bishop Watterson
bestowed his blessing, stopping to bestow it on
his aged mother, an incident very affecting.
This afternoon grand parade of the local and
visiting societies took place, reviewed
by the Rev. Bishop and attending
priests. This evening Bishop Wat
terson celebrates pontifcal vespers.
