TIE PRESIDENT.

Contrary to expectation the President
rallied somewhat yesterday morning, and
after noon was able to take and retain in
his stomach some slight liquid nourish-
ment. The intimation of belief that
his nausea was the result of blood-poison.
ing caused the surgeons to make a very
careful examination of the wound at mid
day, ard the result was confirmation of
their previous conviction that there were
no indications Of pyemia present.
Yesterday afternoon there was an encour-
aging fall in the pulse, accompanied by a
rise in temperature indicating renewed
strength, and not fever. The Presidents
skin was described as being cool and moist,
and the physicians, who had evidently
almost despalred CT his rallying the night
before, once more began to entertain hopes
that he would overcome the crisis. 1t is,
however, evident that his case remains
very critical. His strength is so utterly
depleted that a comparatively slight fur
ther relapse would be fatal. He has no
reserve force of any kind remaining. He
ia living upon the small quantities of nour.
ishment which can be administered BIZ
injection, and the still smaller quantities
which can be admitted to his delicate and
moFbidIy sensitive stomach. A very slight
over estimate of what he can assimilate
may at any moment bring back the nausea,
and it is too much to hope that he could
survive another relapse. While therefore
there may be some ground for hope at this
moment, it is exceedingly faint and uncer-
tain and SO long as it remains impossible
to restore the tone of his stomach to an
extent that will permit of the free admin.

PASSED THE LORDS.

The Lords have passed the land bill, the
Marquis of Salisbury first recording his
hostility to it, and wishing it distinctly to
be understood that the full responsibility
for the measure rested with the House of
Commons. No doubt Mr.. Gladstone is
perfectly willing to assume that response
bility. And so the bill is out Of the way
at last, and the only people who appear to
be seriously hurt at its passage are, curl
ously enough, the League members whose
constituents have the most to hope from
its enactment

a new and surprising episode in the
Tichborne- Ferris romance has just &C.
cured, it being no less than the sudden
resurrection of the long missing valet,
Jules Berraud, who was alleged to have
put his master Roger Tichborne on board
The Bella. a letter has been sent to Mrs.
Earl, daughter of Tiehborne, signed
Jules Berraud, and purporting to be writ
ten by that psrson, in which it is alleged
that he, the writer, knows Ferris to be Sir
Roger Tichborne, and.is prepared to sub
stantiate the truth of the latter's story
about his transit of South America and his
occupancy OF a position in Federal regi-
ment during the rebellion. He admits
that he did desert his master when the
latter was taken with fever, and that he
was aware OF the proceedings Of Arthur
Orion to obtain the Ticbborne title and
estates, but that he had sufficient
+" reasons for not coming forward
at that time. We are afraid that this
lister of the pseudo Jules Berraud viii not
convince the world that Ferris is Itch.
borne. There is one little circumstance
which the writer of the letter fails TO ex-
plain, moreover, which puts him in an
awkward position. Tie actual valet, Jules
Berraud, wrote letters to England immedi-
ately after the embarkation Of Roger ITCH
borne on the Bella, relating the event, he
at the time being ignorant of the loss Of
tee vessel. The new Jules Berraud had
better turn his attention to these letters,
which were produced in tie course OF the
trial, and try his hand in explaining them,
and making them harmonic with the pres
ent version. Until he has done that the
public viii do well to withhold all credence
from his statements, and await further de.
velopments. The present indications are
that the letter is trick to bolster up the
Ferris-Tichborne story.

THoUGHT READERS. Professor Barrett
tells, in Nature. the story of family in
Derbyshire, every member of which is able
to read thoughts committed to paper with
cut seeing the paper, or touching or even
seeing the writer. A scientific committee
is about to investigate the facts, or alleged
facts, for which ne answers. The family is
that of Nonconformist minister, the Rev.
Mr.. Creery, of Buxton. He answers for it
that there is neither deception nor conjur.
ing; the children do get "intuitions, -
which enable them-how, they do not
know-to guess what other people are
thinking about. Meanwhile the savans
who have hitherto Investigated what is
called mind-reading declare it to be simply
muscle-reading Few people can SO control
their muscles as to hide the facts which an
intelligent "reader" wishes to discover
1t is interesting to remember in this con-
nection that the most impressive of modern
Statesmen, whose face was mask, could
not prevent himself from revealing emotion
in the twitching of his hands.

A PHENOMENAL MEMoRY.-In the ST.
Louis Postofiice is employed man with a
phenomenal memory. He was taken on
in the mailing division about eighteen
months ago and given the lowest position.
He has several times been promoted on ac-
count of his good record, and at his last
examination gave evidence of his close ap-
plication and phenomenal memory. 1t is
customary for the examiner to name the
postoffices in certain amount OF territory,
and require the examinee to give the loca-
ton. In this case the employe was ex-
amined on the postofIices of Missouri, of
which there are l,790. He did not need
to be questioned, but without prompting
named every postoffice in the State and
the county in which it is situated, and
without missing or installing postofiice
or county, and did this in thirty min
utes.

Escane OF Prisoners,

SEATTLE, August 17th.-Two prisoners,
Sullivan and Daniels. escaped from the
County Jail in this city some time between
the hours of 8 and o'clock this morning,
aud are yet at large. Daniels had procured a
saw and file, it is supposed, from an accom-
plice, and sawed the bolt and hinges from
the hanging door, after which he had broken
up bedstead and used the posts to pry the
door. open. After getting into the corridor,
he assisted Sullivan out of his cell, when
the two went to work and removed a
window, cutting AMI bending the bars. To
scale the high fence they used lime barrel
which had been left in the outside yard.
Robert S. Sullivan was held to answer be-
fore the Grand Jury for shooting R. j. Nc
Donald on the 22l of last month, and August
Daniels was held to answer charge of burg
larizing safe; also on charge Of breaking
into store. The evidence in each case was
strong against Daniels, and the chances for
conviction in the case Of Sullivan were equally
strong. A number of officers are on their
tr ok, but up to this hour they have not been
found.

NEVADA, August 17th.-A FIRE broke out
in Chinatown this evening about o'clock,
which resulted in the entire destruction, save
one building, of that part of town. The Chi

town. and the water supply in that district
being very light, the firemen could do moth

There were about twenty-five houses in the
town, valued at 81, COO. The personal prop

The buildings were partly insured, but there
