posed by the Presidency:

AS item Z to be posted

gen S27O 80. The want of more autho-
rized midwives in the rural districts is
generally acknowledged. By the
appointment of one midwife in these
days in q district extending from
Kingshill to the town of Christiansted,
it is to be hoped that an improve
ment in these relations will be at least
partly obtained, but by far not salts
tactorily. In the name Of humanity it
is therefore hishly necessary, that steps
be taken to have this want remedied.
The Government has therefore meant
thar there should, III defiance OF the
unfortunate economical circumstances
of the Colonial Treasury, be sought a
grant OF the necessary amount for the
training of one midwife more.
In accordance with what has been
granted in similar cases the expenses
are estimated thus =

mentS the total amount of Money
Bill G.. Ii will have to be altered from
S14 08S.27. to ~S14,634.27.
The Chairman pointed out that if the

the grant would be different to what is
stated i'll the amendment 4 d it would be

2nd member FOR Christiansred's Country
District (CouIe1) euquired if it Were the
intention to send another person to Dem
mark to be trained as a midwife.
The Actjng President replied that the
first midwife OF a Rural district mention
ed. Mrs. H0yer, is now installed at Spanish
town in charge of a district extending from
Kingshill to the town Of Christiansted /;
but there will be required 10 be sent home
this year one more to take charge Of u
second district, and then next year one
more and so further on until the country
is sufficiently furnished. To bring this
whole affair after so many years neglect
in proper working, such as Civiilsation and
humanity demands, we most likely
must be prepared in the first A or 5 years
to send home persons for being trained
it is particularly the attending to the nurs-
ing of the infants which is Of the greatest
Importance and which has been made a
principal matter in our instructions to the
present first midwife in the country dis
Irict.
end Member Christiansted's Country
District [Coulter] said it would be- pro-
ductive of no effect towards the object de-
sired. unless the midwife be made respon-
slble for the proper attendance of mothers
to their children, and anless the midwife is
compelled to report cases OF neglect to the
Pollce-Authorities aud these latter really
notice such cases aud punish the neglect.
4th Crown member (H0id) enquired if it
is to be compulsory that none but the
examined midwlves are to be employed /;
if that is pot made compulsory, they will
not be employed at all. He referred to
a case, which went to prove how it has
been and would be in that respect.
The acting President called attention to
the contents oil a Circular that had been
recently sent out to planters, in the
district in which the midwife is appointed.
and In which it is expressly said that
women in child birth are prohibited under
punishment to employ the services of any
one hut'an examined or authorized mid.

Ex.Vice President Hamlin.

One of the Presidents last official
acts before leaving Washington was
to tender the position Of Minister
to Spain to ex-Vice President Ham
lin. Mr.. Hamlin is innocent OF
any knowledge of the Spanish Ian
guage, or of Spanish or other Eu-
ropean affairs, but this fact will
hardly lesson his efficiency as Min
lister. He will have nothing to do,
either in Spanish or English. Mr..
Hamlin deserves well of his party
and in a certain sense, of his coun-
try. He is above suspicion IN all
money dealings, faithful to his
friends, and a most consistent sup
porter of what he believes to be the
true principles of government. In
a public service of over forty years,
he is without reproach of any kind.
1t is not generally understood, but
the ex-senator was a Grant man, a
third-termer at heart. His State
pride and perhaps the idea that he
was indebted to Blaine politically,
were the reasons which took his
support away from the soldier and
gave it to the Maine politician.

HnLjnO Patches,

Defective Watch Gases are now one OF
the chief causes of so many watches not
being good time pieces. The cases being
thin and not fitting well, admit dust and
dirt to the movement, which soon interferes
with the running parts OF the watch necessi-
tating cleaning, repairing, &c, and the
amount thus paid out if applied toward
buying a good case in the beginning. would
have saved all this trouble and expense.
We have recently seen a case that meets all
these requirements, it having been carried
for over twenty years and still remains per-
feet. We refer to the JAS. Boss Patent
Stiilened Gold Case, which has become one
of the staple articles OF the Jewelry trade,
possessing as it does so many advantages
over all other watch cases, being made of
two heavy plates of solid gold over a plate
OF composition, and we advise all our read
eri to ask their Jeweler for a card or cata-
loge hat will explain the manner in which
they are made.
1t is the only Stifiened Case made with
two plates of gold, seamless pendants, and
center, solid joints, crown pieces, &c, all of
which are covered by letters patent. There
fore buy nc case before consulting a Jewel
er who keeps the JAS. Boss Patent Stiiien-
ed Gold Case, that youmay learn the differ
ence between it and all limitations that
claim to be equally as good.
For sale by all responsible Jewellers.
Ask to see the warrant that accompanies
each case, and don't be persuaded that any
other make Of case is as good.

WHEN Jay Gonld's American Gable
Company shall have completed the lay
ing of its two new cables, which have
already reached the middle of the At
Iantic, there will be no less than eleven
c,bles from this country to Europe.
The New York Sun is of the opinion
that the business is being overdone and
that there are not enough messages
sent to support all these companies.
Rates will certainly fall still further.
Eight years ago the rate by cable was
81 so a word, and the daily receipts OF
one company $12, 900 Since then the
messages have increased seven-fo,d,

Withdrawal Of Mr. Plat.

The New York Herald thinks
that sin withdrawing his name from
the contest at Albany, Mr.. Plat has
taken a wise and manly course; fol
the conflict has become such an en-
tirely vile and shameless scramble
that to get out of it seems about
the most honest impulse n can
have in connection with it," If he,
as we'll as Conkling, had taken a
wise and manly course they would
have been candidates for reelection.
They counted on being swiftly and
emphatically endorsed by the New
York Legislature, but they only
created a wrangle that will eventu-
ally disrupt the Republican party.
We are glad, however, that they
have tenaciously stuck on so long.
1t has made the Democratic triumph
in New York almost a certainty,
and the election of a Democratic
President more than probable.

The Wounds Serious and the Presidents
Condition Critical.
President Garfield was shot in
Washington, July Fad at 8 o'clock
at the Baltimore and Potomac de-
pot, while on his way to New Eng
land. He is dangerously wound:
ed. but may recover. The shoot
ing was done by a slender man
named Guitteau. He was arrested
Immediately and carried to police
headquarters, and subsequently re-
moved to Jail.
The shooting occurred in the la
dies room of the depot, Immediate
ly after the President had entered
walking arm in arm with Secretary
Blaine on their way to the train,
which was about ready to leave.
Blaine, on hearing the pistol shots,
two in number, rushed in the di-
rection from which they came with
the view of arresting the assassin.
Before reaching the man he noticed
the President fall. and returned to
him and lifted him up. Both shots
took effect, the first in the right
arm, and the second just above the
right hip, and near the kidneys.
The physicians probed for
the ball unsuccessfully. The
weapon used was a large sized re-
volver. The President was carried
to a private room in the station
building. Chas. Guitteau, the man
who did the2shooting, Ehailed from
Chicago and was said to be a disap-
pointed office-seeker, having applied
for the Consulship to Marseillcs.
Mrs. Garfield was t~elegraphed for
and she is now with the President,
though still weak from her recent
illness. The Presidents condition
was unfavorable until 8 o'clock,
when he rallied a little. From that
time he began to sink and all hopes
were given up until Monday when
he improved a little, All of the
| Cabinet are in attendance, and he
has all the attention that medical
skill can give. 1t is claimed that
| Gitteau is insane. The following
letter was found in his pocket after
his arrest:
