There is something instructive in the
fact that Garfield aud John Sherman
and politicians of that type are more
powerful and popular than the class
represented by Conkling. So far as
bitter and unreasoning partisanship is
concerned, both types are Objectionable.
but when they are compared there is
rather a heavy balance against the
former. Conkling's faults are many
and prominent, but he has the redeem
ing Characteristic of being outspoken
and courageous. and of never affecting
moral sentiments for political purposes.
He is opposed to shams, and does not
pretend 10 be representative of the
religious element. On the contrary.
the President and Mr.. Sherman and
others we might name. are remarkably
fond of sentimental illusions and as
sumo a devout and reverend air with
much JUNCTION and address. 1t is an ar
gument in favor of man if he be con-
sistent and modest Christian. 1t would

None ever saw him snirk.
And he can laugh. too, till his eyes
Kun DER with mirthful Tears,
And sing full many AN old-fime song
In spite of seventy years.
GOOD morning friends, tits twelve o'clock
Time for n half hours rest,
And farmer John took out his lunch
And ate IL with zesf.
"a harder task, it is, he said,
THAN following up these steers
Or mending fences, far, for me
To feel my seventy years.
"You ask me why feel so young,
I'm sure friends, cannot tell,
But think it is my good wife's fault
Who's kept me up so well.
For women such as she are scarce
In this poor vale of tears;
She's given me love, and hope, and strength
For more than forty years.
"And then my boys have all done well,
AS far as they have gone,
And that thing warns an old mans blood,
And helps him up anil on.
MY girls have never caused pang,
Or raised up anxious fears:
Then wonder not that feel young
And hale at seventy years.
" Why don't my good boys do my work
And let me sit and rest?

And, till the end appears,

Last Night at EIberon,

THE EVENING BULLETIN AND THE DISPATCH 10
MINISTER LOWELL.
OFFICIAL BULLETIN, Sept. IA. $50 pm.-At
the examination of the President at twelve m.
to-day his temperature was 9S.S, pulse I04.
respiration 20. At the evening dressing at $50
pm. the temperature was 992. pulse 112. respi-
ration 81. The President was placed on the
invalid Chair in semi-recumbent position about
IL m. and remained one hour and half sleep
ing part of the time. He was not fatigued by
the transfer or change Of position. and bis gen.
eral condition this evening is as favorable as
usual, Notwithstanding a slight febriie rise.
tSlgned 10y Drs. Bliss, Hamilton and Agnew. I
The following was sent last night by Attorney
General MacNeagh to Minister Lowell:
There is an increase this evening i'm the Presi-
dents temperature, pulse and respiration, but it
is SO slight as not necessarily to indicate that
the condition Of the blood is producing any new
complications. The trouble i'm the right lung is
not Increasing and is causing him less annoy
ance. He has taken adequate nourishment and
his sleep has been natural and refreshing, so
that If he has gained nothing he has probably
lost nothing during the day."
DR.. BoyntonS Opinion.
HE THINKS THE PRESIDENTS CONDITION CONTINUES
CRITICAL.
In an interview last night, DR.. Boynton was
asked. doctor, has the President recovered
entirely from the setback of Sunday last?"
II don't consider that he has gotten back to
the point where he was the Friday before"
'You still think the change was beneficial,
presumed"
"Oh, yes; this atmosphere is good for him.
| doubt if he would have survived In Washing
ton"
us hetroubIed any more with his mind upon
awakening?"
Eyes; he is not always perfectly clear upon
awakening from sound sleep. That trouble
does not change materially owing to the weak
ened condition of the brain. So long as the
brain is not SO well nourished of course it can
not perform its work SO well as il it was prop
eriy supplied with nOurishment'
Doctor, what is your exact opinion regard
ing the affection of the patients right lung?"
II am not officially connected with the case,
and what say must not be considered as in any
way rejecting the opinions of the surgeons in
charge. In my opinion the President is now
suffering from the effects of chronic blood poison
and has what is known as metastatic abscess
IN the lower portion of the right lung. This
aDscess is not very recent complication but
made its appearance some days before he was
removed from Washington. Hew expectorat-
ing pus from it prior to his removal from Wash
lngtOn, and still continues to do So His condi-
ton continues critical, because the state of his
blood is such that similar assesses are liable to
be formed either on his lung or other vital
organs"
