On Saturday 9th long speeches were made
The first ballot for Conkling's term stood :
Potter (dem.) so; Lapham 81; Conkling 81;
Wheeler l. For Platt's term, Miller had 68,
and the rest were scattering as usual It was
contended by the stalwarts that Lampham and
Miller had been irregularly nominated; that
there had been no formal caucus that faction
to senatorships of Lampher and Miller, both Of
whom are now members of congress, would
turn that branch of congress over to the Dem
ocrats. There was no time for special cleo
ton to fill the vacancies, and it was not the
policy Of the Republicans to endanger their
majority in tho house Of representatives.

SATURDAY, JULY 9th.

SATURDAY, JULY 9TH:
The surgeons bulletin for Saturday says the

his case is very satisfactory. The doctors

dictions in regard to the future.
SUNDAY, JULY 10th.
DR.. Bliss says the president is decidedly bet
twenty-four hours, and within that time his
pulse is down six degrees lower than at any
time during the preceding twenty-forr hours
ard his temperature has lowered O1course

danger has greatly lessened.
MONDAY, JULY IL.
In the early part of the day the presidents
fever increased and his temperature to 1O2
degrees Death almost always follows an in
crease of temperature to 1Oc degree

usual figure, and other symptoms were more
favorable.
TUESDAY JULY IL.

ready for his milk and rum, and Private Sec
retary Brown sent a special bulletin to men,

suit
WEDNESDAY JULY 18th.
To-day fas been looked forward to with some
anxiety. for it was said that the danger of Sec
ondary femerrhage or of peritonitis would
probably end at the expiration of the period
now elapsed. The patient was therefore
| watched with more than ordinary scrutiny,
and his condition tonight gives his friends
cause for increased hope of his recovery.
Secretary Blaine said in conversation that the
bulletins could be taken in perfect confidence

uncertainty, as was indicated by his dispatch to-
day to Minister Lowell Mr. Blaine has now most
perfect confidence IN the presidents recovery.
THURSDAY, JULY IA.

afternoon fever was lighter than ever before.
He perspired very freely during the day, and
that fact is another evidence that the fever is
breaking The president has Saken more solid
food than in any corresponding number of
hours heretofore, and has eaten it with relish.
He has suffered no pain when moved or in
dressing his wound, and CO aJ.nues bright and
cheerful. Being asked whether any serious
unfavorable symptoms are likely to appear now
that the crises has passed, DR.. Reyburn said
[ should not like to promise an uninterrupted
and unvarying course of improvement, but at
the same time may say there is at present
every prospect Of the presidents recovery

Am Honest bury.

A Louisiana jury that has just
been trying man for killing his
daughters seducer has convicted
the prisoner of manslaughter, but
asked that only the lightest legal
punishment be inflicted. Such u
verdict is creditable alike to the
heads and hearts of the jury. The
general expectation of an acquittal
has been disappointed; but this is
all the more to the jury's honor,
for the average juryman intensely
dislikes to oppose public opinion.
Manslaughter is the least otfense,
technically, Of which q man can be
guilty when he kills another, except
in self.defense, and the temporary
insanity plea, by which some .jurics
dodge their duty, is not believed
by half the men who make it the
excuse for % verdict of acquittal.
Ii q man chooses to avenge his
private wrongs by taking the life
of tellow-man, he should be man
enough to take the consequences;
if public opinion supports him in
his illegality, there is a legal method
of expressing it, and claiming con-
sideration for it, and the only hon
orable course for, q sympathetic
jury is that embodied in the Louis
lana verdict just alluded to- New
York Herald.

A SUCCESSFUL SURGICAL OrERArIoN.
In company with Dr. J, w. Saunders,
the operator, and the editor Of the Pa
triot-Democrat, we paid visit to a
little patient of the Dr.'s at tho resi-
dcnce of Mr.. VIM. lIaltner, of this
town, to see the result of an operation
made by the DIR. some forty eight
hours previous to our visit, on a seven
months old child of Mr. George An
dcrson of this parish. Tho babe was
afflicted from birth by what is termed
Congenital Hair Lip" There was
no roof to the mouth, no upper lip,
while its nose extended two and one
half inches below the proper place, and
had two enormous teeth IN its end.
The Doctor, after q careful study of
the case, determined upon his course.
and with the assistance of Drs, Lang
worthy and Wood, proceeded to put
the little child under the influence of
chloroform, and with three strokes of
the knife, the pendant to the nose was
severed, tho teeth removed, and the
necessary flesh placed in position to
form a new nose and upper lip, when
u few stitches of the needle brought
the parts together, where they are Sc
cured in place by strips of court-plaster.
The nose now has n natural form, and
tho lacerated parts show no infamma-
tion, and are healing. Tho child is
lively, and bids fair to ontgrow, with
care and watchfulness, all traces Of the
fri ghtful mal,forlnation at its birth.
The gratitude of the parents at tho
success of the skillful operator can bo
hettcr imagined than expressed by
Words Clinton Watchmal.

A very fad death occurred in the

deaths are sad, but Of all deaths the
death from broken heart is the sad
dest. P. E. Sullivan, alias William
Delaney, a young man of 20 years,
one Of the train robbers recently SEN

of a broken heart. Several days ago
he became gloomy, and going to DR..
Lenow, prison physician, complained
Of being sick. Upon examination
the physician discovered that the
man was not suffering any percepti
bic disease, but his pulse was 140.
He was ordered to the hospital, where
every possible care was given him.
He revived after a time, but every
one could see despair written on his
countenance. He entered the prison
cheerfully, and lightly spoke of the
long term of his sentence, but after q

thelines his spirit sank. Tears told

and laughed softly. "Ah!" he would
say, "your brother never forgets YOU"

Crossing Corn.

In crossing corn it is necessary
that the two varieties should be in
the same towering stage at the same
time. When the character and time
of blossoming Of the varieties are not
known precisely, it is best to make
several paintings at intervals of a
few days so that the pollen from the
tassels Of one kind should be falling
when the silks of the other kind is
fresh and ready to receive the pollen.
Thus row Of the kind to be crossed
may be planted on a certain day, say
the first of June; if the crossing va
rlety is a late kind a row of it should
be planted early in May, say the 9Th,
and another row every five days later
until the end Of the month, so that
the row of the crossed corn may be
sure to get fresh pollen at the right
time. The operation is the easiest
imaginable All that is required is
to plant several hills or rows in the
manner described, and to cut off
every tassel as soon as it first appears
from the row to be crossed. The corn
on this row will be new variety
OF course, it is necessary to guard
against fertilization from other corn
growing near BY.
