Although the Presidents condition Is still
extremely critical, all the indication are favor
able, and the country Is not without grounds
for hope tina. he may yet recover. The lapse OF
time since the bullet did It's WORK, without
large loss of blood. renders 1t probable that no
large artery or vein has been severed ad
this occurred there would DOUBTLESS have been
fatal hemorrhage before this time. The
fact that the ball has been discovered
to be lodged In the liver, Is not as dlscourag-
render the wound necessarily mortal, since
that organ Is far less sensitive than many
OF the others constituting the human
system, and is capable OF sustaining severe
shock and still perform It's functions. Tnen,
again, we understand the statement that the
patient vomited blood to be an erroneous one,
and, further, that 50 far no blood has been
passed from the bowels. Both these facts are
encouraging signs. 1t may be sald therefore,
that the danger from hemorrhage Is greatly
lessened. To the hopeful side OF the case may
also be added the important point that the
irritable condition Of the stoma n has been
somewhat overcome, and healthy rea ;tio1 in
that direction may now be expected.
The patient having thus escaped tns first
great danger Of death from shock to his sys-
tenn and hemorrhages, be will now have to en-
counter the perils arising from subseq lent in
fiammation, and this there Is no present reason
to believe cannot be kept within safe bounds.
This Is about the situation. as We und erstand
IT, this afternoon. II Is Still SO critical az to ex-
cite the gravest apprehenslons, but It Is oy no
means hopeless. To the ordinary chances OF
life under such circumstances SHOULD also be
sdded the Presidents naturally strong coasti-
tuition, his regular habits, his clear conscience.
his cheerful spirits, his unelouded miad. his
great fortitude his hopeful reliance on P.ovl-
cenee and his determination tore,o T5r ii posi-
bic. These are all important factors In his favor
and furnish substantial ground work OF faith
for the prayers everywhere preathe1 that he
may yet be spared for many years TO his affec-
tionate family and his anxious country.

Preserve Quiet Tomorrow!

The Presidents life hangs by thread, and
perfect quiet Is one OF the conditions essential
TO bis recovery. In the general 5olicitude for
his welfare It IS only necessary TO state this
fact, we are sure. In order that there shall be a
general aostention tomorrow from all the
usual explosive firing and other noisy d,n)1-
trations peculiar to the day. II oy this con-
iderate course the invaluable life Of the Presi-

that are cut off in cutting up the hog. The
fat should form one third and the lean two
thirds of the whole; scut into small pieces,
weigh the amount, and to each Twenty-Five

the same of black pepper, and one-half
pound of fine salt. sprinkle over tie meat

BAKERS GINGERBREAD is made by the
following recipe: Two quarts OF molasses,
two ounces saletatus, one ounce alum, two

was used in hotel in De Ruy:er. New

substitution of cream tartar and soda for

How Opium is Obtained.

Opium is obtained from the poppy heads
by tapping: them while they. are growing in
summer. For instance. when the flowers
have fallen off the seedvessels or pods en-
large quite rapidly, but before they have
reached their full size and begin to harden,
they are scaritied, OF slight incisions are
made on one side; from these wounds the
milky juice exudes, and in a few hours be-
day, or the following, according to the state
of the weather, other wounds are made in
the heads, and the operation is repeated as
long as any juice, can be obtained: OPT

The Movements of Plants.


Since the time Of Linn@us,s men have
wondered and speculateds about what are
known as the spontaneous movements of
plants, and in recent years the causes of
these movements. have been carefully in
vestigated by botanists. The subject in it's
various bearings now forms large part of
the science of vegetable physiology. The
periodical and irritable motions Of plants,
and those due to light and gravity have
been closely studied in connection with the
mechanical laws Of growth, and many of
these phenomena have been more or less
satisfactorily explained. .n. g., = ,
But it has been reserved for Mr.. Charles
Darwin to go deeper into the facts and phil
osophy Of the subject than any of his con-
temporaries. In 1875 he published book
upon ''The Movements and Habits of
Climbing Plants" and he has since extend
ed Ills inquiries SO as to include the move
ments manifested by the entire vegetable
series, except the lowest fowerless plants,
and upon these he is now engaged. He has
just published an account of these research
es in a volume of six hundred pages, uni
form with his other works. Eliza A. You

Esyntian Rice Corn.

The state commissioner Of agriculture of
Kansas reports that over 5000 acres of
Egyptian or rice corn was harvested in that
stste this year. This is very remarkable
cereal, which promises to be Of the greatest
value to the people of the inland portions
of the west, as it requires little or no moist
ure in its growth. The average yield of
the grain was twenty-five bushels
to the acre. It is said to surpass
the best Indian corn, which it closely re-
sembles, as food for both man and beast
The seed was brought to this country by

thrives in the dreariest soiland under the

of the American plains withers beneath the
sun the rice corn fourishes. Cattle and
fowls prefer it to Indian corn, and some au-
thorities predict that the time is near at
hand when it will be the fourth OF fifth crop
in importance in America
