THE PRESIDENT.

He Signs His Name in Steady Round Hand.
The president, according to the state
ments of the attending physicians, has
passed another comfortable day. He par
took of liquid nourishment without the
renewal of gastric disturbance.
A pleasant incident occurred in the sick
room yesterday morning. 1t appears that
after the dressing of the wonnd tho presi-
dent was in better spirits than usual, and
the doctors taking advantage of the fact
indulged in some mild 1evity between
themselves. Finally, DR.. Bliss said to the
president that he believed he could sign
his name to document as we'll as hc had
ever written it. The president replied,
:" Have YOU Il pencil, doctor?"
EYES," answered the doctor, "here is
one.''
Thereupon small tablet, used by the
doctors in writing out tho bulletins, was
also handed the president. He held it up
before his eyes with his left hand while he
wrote upon it with the pencil he held in his
right. He did not raise himself while
performing the task. bnt lay as the doctors
had placed him. Returning the pencil and
tablet to the doctor, he remarked -
"There what do think Of that sigma
ture for sick man?'
The doctors Immediately crowded around
DR.. Bliss anxious to get glimpse of the
chirography, and were astonished to see
written upon the tablet in q steady round
hand:

Destructive Floods In the West.

A special dispatch from Central City,
Col, says 'The most destructive flood
in the history of this district occurred on
Monday afternoon. At 2:3O o'clock 4
heavy storm cloud appeared, accompanied
by almost incessant thunder and lightning.
At O'Clock people were startled by an
uncarthly roar to the west, and in
stantly volume of water of be-
tween four and five feet in length
came rushing down Nevada and Eureka
streets. Heavy quartz teams standing in
the streets were overturned and carried
down stream like feathers. Rocks weigh
ing 500 or 600 pounds were rolled along
the streets like pebbles. Animals and
everything in the track of the flood were
swept away. Large masses Of debris
were carried through the street at the Iatc
of fifteen miles an hour. The whole
length of the gulches, from Nevadaville
on one side and the head of the Eureka on
the other, presents a most desOlate ap-
pearance. The rOadways are entirely de-
strOyed, in many places the ruts being
four OF six feet deep, and extending for hun
dreds of yards. The entire length for about
three miles is strewn with debris of every
kind. At several points between Central
and Black Hawk streets, the debris is
pIcu CWcuty -HSc lccI ulSH. Lufcki SCfceC
for a quarter of Il mile is one mass of rocks
and rubbish. On Main street four feet Of
sand arc deposited. The flood was caused
by the bursting Of a rain cloud little
west of the city. The natural channel of
the stream became damned, turning the
water into the streets. The only loss of
life known at present is that of Joseph
Gerry, whose body was found in the Black
Hawk. The flood lasted only twenty min.
utes. Tho damage is estimated at $50
OOO."
Advices from Idaho Springs say the
flood was the severest ever experienced
there. Several houses in Virginia Canon
were carried away. A girl of six years
was drowned. Nearly all the railroad and
country bridges between the forks of tho
creek and Idaho were swept away, and
Nearly all the houses in the business part
of the town were flooded and the streets
damaged. The damage at Idaho will
amount to $50, 900. 1t is estimated that it
will take 100 men 4S hours to repair the
damage to the railroad track between
Idaho and Floyd Hill. No trains are ex-
pectcd to depart or arrive in Central City
until late day.

SWINDLED OUT OF x35, 600.
A Boston Merchant Taken In by an Allese
Broker and his Principal.

a Boston Merchant Taken In by an Alleged
Broker and his Principal.
Quite recently Daniel GOodnow, a
wealthy merchant doing business at 81
Commercial sSpeet, Boston, was approached
by plausible stranger styling himself G..
A. Fuller, an alleged cotton broker, who,
according to the directory had an
Office at "a Kilby street. Fuller said he
desired to negotiate on behalf of the
Pepperell manufacturing company of
Biddeford, Me-, for the purchase of cer-
tain lot Of damaged cotton in GOOdnow's
possession. This cotton GOodnow had
bought at an auction sale and it was
valued at nearly $50, 900. The merchant
was favOrably impressed with his visitor
and an arrangement was entered into
whereby the agent of the company should
call and see him. At the proper time the
"agent" called in company with the wide
awake broker, and bargain was soon
made between the three for the cotton,
the price which the Pnpperell company
was to pay being $29, ,931. GOodnow was in.
formed that the company was engaged in
heavy law suits with railroad companies
and that consequently the goods would
have to be sent by water to their destina-
tiOn. The upshOt of the palaver was that
GOodnow bought an old bark named the
Winter Sea, put the cotton and several
hundred gallons of wine and large GUAM
tity of tea aboard and sent the bark to
sea. He has neither seen nor heard of the
vessel, goods, agent or broker since, and
investigation shows that he has been de-
frauded out of about $35, 1000. How he
came to put the wine and tea aboard is not
known.

WE cannot believe that Mrs. II. B..
Hayes has been so silly rs to say that
the issue in the Ohio election this fall is:
" Shall 1 endorse Garfield or Guiteau.' -
Wise women, perhaps, have said more
foolish things, and whether or not this
particular exhibition of Stiffness has been
afforded, the Cincinatti Commercial
brings the matter fairly into contro-
versy 10y declaring that Mrs. Hayes has
thus put the question of the Ohio CAM
paign into the shortest sentence yet en-
ployed. If Mrs. Hayes made fool of
herself, which in abundant charity we
gravely doubt, the Commercial is unkind
to advertise her folly.

WHAT Mr.. Buchanan, as president at
the outbreak of the rebellion, did or fail
ed to do, has not been a matter of doubt.
II is historical and the verdict of history
could bc made up on the facts long since
familiar to the public. The dispute has
been as to the influences which surround
ed him ut the time and how his different
advisers cOunselled and prevailed with
him. That some were in ardent SYM
pathy with the rebellion is not to be
doubted that some were weak and in
decisive and ready to let the cotton
states secede in peace, like some of Lin
coins succeeding cabinet, is equally
true that others entertained a sound,
constitutional view of the powers of the
general government to maintain its ex-
istencc and to wage war against insur.
gents is true. too, and that Judge Black
was one of this number his letter to Gen.
Scott proved and his memorandum of
suggestions OH the reply to the South

N. Y. Times, Rep.
The people are fully conscious, neverthe
less, that the last three accessions to the
supreme bench, those of Harlan, Woods
and Matthews, were not of such charac-
ter as to add greatly to its authority or
dignity. Each one of them owes his distinc-
tion to his appointment rather than his ap-
pointment to his distinction. No one of
them had made great reputation even
locally as a ,jurist. These three men, with
the two next to be appointed, will consti-
tute majority of the bench. The other
members, Chief Justice Waite, and Asso-
ciates Field, Miller and Bradley, though
able and experienced judges, have no such
superfluity of weight that the bench will
safely admit Of any further tightening.
There ought rather to be added to its
membership two of the very best jurists
that the country can furnish, and they

PRINCETON COLLEGE.

Curious Charges Against Treasurer Harris.
Some CONSERVATION has been caused in
Princeton by the publication in the Phila
delphia Times of a dispatch purpolt ltins
to come from Princeton and accusing the
Rev. VIM. Harris, treasurer OF Princeton
college, of having in various ways swim
died the students. At the beginning Of
the term the students are required
to deposit q SHIN Of money to cover
their expenses for fuel and gas. The
fuel is taken to the students rooms
and dumped into a coal box. The
account of the amount of fuel used by
each student is kept by the carrier. At
the end of the term the student is paid the
money remaining from his deposit in ex-
cess Of what has been expended for his
coal. This sum is called drawback. -
The Times correspondent says that for
years the students have found these draw
backs too small, and that they began to
accuse the treasurer of defrauding them.
He instances cases where an accurate ac-
count of the fuel and gas was kept by the
students, who found that drawback of from
SO to S15 were due them. When they
went for this amount they were told that
no money was due them, and in some cases
they were told that they owed money
to the college, but that on insisting that
money was due them they were generally
paid. Mr.. Harris is also charged with
keeping money sent from home to the
students. He is also charged with the re-
spOnsibility for the epidemic Of malaria
that prevailed some time ago in that COL
flege.
The entire story. despatch to the New
York World from Princeton says, seems to
be an nexaggeration by some interested party
Mr.. Harris is not in Princeton, nor is DR..
McCosh, but Professor Duffield said in

out Mr.. Harris had nothing to do with the
sanitary condition of the school, that hav-
ing been in the hands of curator who
has lost his place. Professor Duffield had
heard Of the complaints of Overcharge for
fuel, which he compared to the usual com
| plants Of cxorbitant gas bills. Professor
Young said he did not know Mr.. Harris
intimately, but had no idea that the
charges could be true. Mr.. Osborne, Mr.
Harris's clerk, was seen. He thought the
story came from some dissatisfied student
In Edwards Hall, which was used
for the first time last winter, there
had been some complaint among the
students, as the approximation for
fuel used there fell short in many cases.
The unusual severity of the winter made
the consumption greater than had been
expected. MIR. Osborne would not say,
however, that some of the students more
than used up their deposits. There had
been no complaints in any other building.
He knew that the figures given by the
Iimez were not correct, as all the accounts
passed through his hands, as did those also
for the money sent to tho students. The
meter in each room was the guide for gas
charges. The catalogue gives the fuel de.
