The presidents pulse has improved,
and that is more important than the rate

A Washington letter writer says
"Doctress Edison, though full OF
hope, in talking aboutthe case never
allows herself to forget the real
facts. She says the president asked
to see the bulletins issued yesterday.
He asked about the anxiety of the
public to see them, and said: They
must be sick and tired reading them.
What Is IN one life, and what differ
ence does it make, any wayr She
says these views are caused by the
length and extent of the suffering
that the president has undergone
and is still undergoing, and that un-
der all the circumstances u speedy
recovery is not looked for. Up to
this time nothing has been told the
president of the gift to Mrs. Garfield
which is being collected through the
agency of the New York Chamber
of Commerce, but as for Mrs. Gar
field, Mrs Edison says, the very
thought of so much Kindness quite
overcomes her. Though he has
heard of the various messages of
sympathy from all quarters of the
globe-at least has been given a gen.
eral idea of them-he does not know
the extent of them. To one of those
in his room he asked, for the, purpose
of getting a clearer idea, Did it Gre
ate as much excitement as Lincoln's
didr He was told that it did, and
even more, for Lincoln died so soon
that many heard, the first time they
heard anything, that President Lin
coin died. After that he asked nc
more questions in that connection
The president, in talking about the
shooting, said he distinctly remem'
bered being taken up stairs at the
depot, but did not remember the
vomiting which he had been told
took place there.

An Arkansas Debating Society

Debating societies flourish in this
state, nearly every town of any size
having its society. Cabot had Its
society-probably has it yet. Per-
haps it boasts of one less member
maybe two. AT recent meeting,
while discussing the "Rise and Fall
of Nations" or some equally impor-
tant subject, two of the orators by
the name of Neylor and Herrod be-
came angry. Neylor fumed with
rage as Herrod tore his argument
into shreds and continued to upset
his theories. He jerked out huge
knife and made desperate attack on
the speaker. Before Herrod realiz.
ed his intention Neylor was upon
him, and although the spectators ran
to separate the combatants, Herrod
had been cut in seventeen place S
The blood covered the door, and the
scene was most CHASTITY. Strange to
say none of the wounds are consid.
cred dangerous. Neylor escaped il
the excitement and is still at large

SOUTHERN CROPS

South Carolina has made only
half an oat crop.
Watermelons in Virginia will be
as cheap as dirt.
Mississippi crops are pretty fair,
but rain is generally needed.
Hard rains have done considera-
BILE damage to crops in Georgia.
The Virginia tobacco crop will be
much larger than last year.
The apple crop in many portions
of Tennessee is almost a failure.
Alabama has been needing rain
If it rains the crops will be unusually
good.
The season has been fair for all
sorts of garden stuff and small fruits
i'll Virginia.
Crops in certain parts in Alabama
both corn and cotton, have never
been better.
North Carolina crops are up to
their standard, wheat, corn and cot
ton being very promising. Storms
have done some injury.
In many localities of Georgia the
corn crop is entirely lost, while in
others not more than halfa crop will
be made. Gardens have suffered
much.
Between Memphis and Vicksburg,
on the river, corn crops are suffer-
ing for rain. Cotton, though not
yet checked in growth, would be
the better for soaking shower.
In Florida, although the corn crop
will be short, it will far surpass the
expectations of the many who were
so fearful few weeks SINCE Cot

state, and promises a tolerably fair

sweet potatoes in order to make up
the deficiency of the corn crop.

Miss Matthews had a lovers quarrel
with Mr. Grace, and when itcame her
turn to shoot atfhe target, a few

The Spanish government has is
sued decree allowing Jews 10 re-
turn to that country, from Which
they were brutally expelled and ban
ished in 1892. The concession has
been secured by the Intervention OF
an influential Jew at Constantinople,
who suggested to the Spanish minis
ter that his fellow-countrymen, who
were receiving such bad treatment
in Russia, Germany and eastern
Europe, might be again received in
Spain, where they achieved such
prosperity during the middle ages.
Sixty thousand Jewish refugees have
arrived in Turkey, and it is proposed
to have these continue their exodus
to Spain, the country which for seven
centuries was the only part of Europe
where they were free from persecu-
ton and their rights were respected.
Their subsequent treatment during
the fifteenth century is one of the
darkest blots i'll Spanish history.
"A man and his wife of the name
of Zysset have just been sentenced,
in the Canton Berne, to penal servi-
tude for life for having murdered all
their children, numbering either five
or seven. They admit having put
five to death, and there is reason 10
believe that they killed two Others
whose births they concealed. Their
motive was simply 10 save them
selves the trouble and expense of
bringing their children up, though
they seem to have been far from
poor, a considerable sum of money
having been found in their house
when they were arrested. The plan
they adopted to get rid oftheir chill
dren was to deprive them of food,
and when the process of starvation
did not appear quick enough, or the
little ones cried too much, it was &C
CELEBRATED by strangling or knocking
them on the head. The jury ex-
pressed regret that, under the pres
ent law of Berne, the Zyssets could
not be sentenced to some severer
punishment than perpetual impris-
onment.

would have made as brilliant a
record in the war as he had previ-
ously fighting Indians in the
