been removed, and preparations 10 prevent
the inflammation placed by means OF lint
over the wound.
Since Sunday morning the President
has talked but little except TO his wife.
He never lost confidence in his ability to
pull himself through, and so declared
himself on several occasions. lie has
never been dependent, even for moment,
and never fails 10 thank his physicians
and nurses for every move they make for
his comfort. Mrs. Postmaster-Generai
james was with him from noon 10 SIX
o'clock, her place being taken then by
Mrs. Judge Hunt, the wife of the Secre-
tary of the Navy. Mrs. Garfield never
LEFT his presence from the time she arrived
in the city on Saturday evening until
about eleven O'Clock, when, under the
positive demand of DIR. Edison, she retired
refusing, however, to remain in her room
more than an hour al time. The Presl-
dents sons and his daughter, Miss Mollle,
only go in the room when called Tor by
their father. For half an hour or so to-
day none but the. members of the family
were at the bedside OF the President, all
the others having retired into an adjoin-
ing room. In this family gathering the
President was the principal speaker.
Upon the return of DR.. Bliss he said the
little talk they had was source of great
pleasure TO him.
As far as can be learned the President
has never referred TO his assassin, Guiteau,
in any way. neither has his mans been
mentionedin his hearing by any one.

HOPEFUL CONDITION OF TIE PREsI-

Garfield will be spared TO his country,
to his family and to the great office
which he fills. Up to the hour that his

were reported, and, as far as the out

was steady improvement in the condl

around the White House were of peculiar
sadness. The cabinet officers were with
in the mansion, receiving and answering
kilograms, and physicians walked softly
from the sick room To the corridors out

faces. 1t was generally believed among
them that the President would die before
morning. The younger members of the

except the wife of the President and his

In some respects this is the most re-
markable confession Grant has made
since he threw aside the mask of
reticence end began to gable. 1t
Eliminates with an electric light, SO to
say, the posture of Grant before the
Chicago Convention. 1t is confess
sion of his thrd-term ambitions; a con-
fession that he descended from the
illustrious attitude of ''first citizen of
the world' to the ignoble character of
Il common ollice-seeker; a confession
that his snowy march across the con-
tinent was the spectacular filling of an
electioneerlng melodrama; Il confession
that his circumnavigatiOno of the planet,
with its accessories of correspondents,
advertising agents, trumpet blowers,
and SO forth, was the theatrical prologue
of a third-term Presidential campaign.
All this was alleged at the time by
many sagdciouS ODSefVerS, VINO were
forwith written down by the little
goosequill "supes'' in the play not
merely as Grants enemies" but as
persons who hated Grant on account of
his victories over rebel enemies. 1t was
denied with the utmost emphasis that
Grant was posing as Il third-term can
didate for President. 1t was declared
that he had no personal wish to be
President again; that the matter did
not even engage his thought, as his
silence on the subject was said to
prove. /. was affirmed that those who
would be most likely to know had seri-
Gus doubts whether he would accept
the candidacy if it were offered to him,
and with great positiveness it was
asserted that he would not accept It
unless it were offered as the "spon-
taneous voice" of the party. When it
became evident that. in spite OF all the
delegate packing the puissant stage
could do there would be
powerful and resolute opposition to the
programme, the tone of the
American citizen. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1864-1890, 1881-07-09

A Portable Prison.

This cangue is the main prop of Nom
golian order-the stocks, pillory and
penitential cell of Kathay. 1t is mere
ly a cage of cross-bars, which are some
times of bamboo, sometimes of iron,
sometimes of heavy timber. The pris-
oner's body is inclosed in this cage,
which reaches from his knees to his
neck; his head and limbs are alone free,
his hands being strapped to a bar.
Now, it is manifest that a criminal thus
accoutersd must be the prop and sup
port of his own portable Jail. A cap
tive Atlas, he carries about his own
dungeon, and he cannot lie down to
rest, but must pass whole days and
nights on his feet, the poles attached
to the cangue preventing him from ly-
ing down, while to the frame work is
fixed placard inscribed with the
wretch's name, offense and sentence.
A cangue may weigh one hundred
pounds. or only twenty, but in any case
it is a dreadful punishment, kept on as
it is for periods varying from six hours
to six weeks. Imagine days and nights
of cramp and sleeplessness, the harass-
