The London Globe, after announcing
that the Great Eastern is TO be sold al
auction, asks: why should she not be
converted into a great marine hotel or
sanitarium, to be moored somewhere of
the coast within reasonable distance Of
IOndons II her engines were taken
out and all space on board were made
available for the accommodation of visi-
tors, the monster craft would afford
room, We should imagine, for fully 1000
inmates, without undue crowding. Ere
quent communication With the shore
could be kept up by means
Of her. steam tenders, and a
short cable might connecs Z with
the nearest telegraph office. In fine. the
Great Eastern, would become = little

its whole area, and with its monarch
ceaselessly endeavoriAg to provide his
subjects with fsesh pleasures and pas
times, in return for the handsome reye-
nue. derived from their payments for
board and lodging. AS there would be
nothing TO pay, for groand-rent or for
drainage works, thaSast marine hostelfy

Lawrence Journal, August 81: To-day
is the sad anniversary of one of the
'bloodiesg deeds-one Of the most heart
less and brutal OF all the melancholy in
cidents-Of thewas Of the rebellion. Eigh-
teen years ago to-day, on Massachusetts
street, from the bridge to the park, and
on surrounding streets, east and west,
nearly 200 of the inhabitants of the town
were ruthlessly butchered, aud many of
their houses and much of their personal
property given to the flames. 1t was asad
day to many a tender heart. 1t was a
day full of horror to the strongest and
the bravest hetu who stand upon the
altar upon which was offered the fearful
sacrifice to the demons of war and re-
bellion on that day keep this blessed
memory fresh in our hearts, OF those
who died that we might live in peace
and prosperity.

st. Louis Globe Democrat: The ele-
ment OF time enters curiously into Gui-
teau's case. If his victim had died
shortly AFTER the shooting, the shooter
would doubtless have been tried and
hanged. Should Mr.. Garfield recover
from his wound, the attack on him makes
only a case of assault to kill. Were the
President to die al the present time, his
having fingered so long between life
and death would compel jury to decide
whether death was due to the bullet, to
the treatment OF his physicians, or to the
patients unfavorable hygienic surround
ings, AMI what that jury's verdict would
be is past finding out. In the event of
the Presidents failing to die within "a
year and day" from the date of his
injury, the common law comes to the
relief of the assassin and presumes an
other cause of death, and the crime is
once more merely an assault. Guiteau
has all these chances, and the insanity
plea to boot. '-A ''t -' -

time, the patient suffers TO some extent
from stiffness Of the jaw and from the
accumulation Of phlegm in the throat.
Upon being asked whether there were
any indications yet in the Presidents
case of malaria, he replied in the
negative. Quinine had been given,
he said, in FIVE grain doses, at in
tervaIs, but rather for its general
tonic effects than because any par
ticular symptoms seemed 10 call
for il. The President, in his opinion, is
not of the intermittent type, and is not
influenced by malaria. In conclusion.
he said the whole question of the fu-
ture of the Presidents case turns now
upon the stomach. If that organ can
receive and assimilate food enough to
make good the present drain upon the
system and enable the patient to regain
his strength he will stand a fair chance
for recovery. If on the contrary the
stomach again becomes intolerant of
nourishment. and entirely refuses for
any great length of time 10 receive food,
| the Consequence may be fatal. At pres
ent all indications are that the stomach
is recovering lis tone, and upon this fact,
he said, we base our hopeful anticipa-
! lions.
