Mr.. d. Whiting, of Riverside, Cal, is
enclosing 800 acres of land with a
stockade, and proposes importing one
hundred pairs Of osiriches from South
Africa, worth from $3.50 to $500 a bird.
Ostriches breed at four years of age, and
viii produce four broods year, each
averaging twenty chicks. At eight
months the feathers of a bird become
worth $5, and, as it grows older, attain
value of over 800. 1t is said that it
costs no more to keep an ostrich than a
sheep.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
Two Of the Black HighWaymen
Caught.

Yesterday evening late Mr.. j. N.
Denton, a planter, was Knocked down
and robbed Of SAL on the corner of
Main and Linden streets, by a negro
who he had hired to work on his farm.
He had two confederates. The affair
was reported to the police, and this
morning Captain 0'Haver donned
plain clothes and succeeded
in capturing the scoundrel. He
saw him in the act of
turning into an alley south Of Yelling
ton street between Union and Monroe,
and reached the corner of the alley
Just as he was peering back to see if
any one was following. Quick as
flash 0'Haver drew his revolver and
thrust the nozzle into his face. The
telow,,swore he would not be taken
along and 0'Haver was picking out a
good place for a bullet hole, when
Coleman Thomas appeared on the
scene and readily lent a hand.
A half hour more and the
names of Charles Williams, alias
Charles johnson, alias Jim johnson,
alias Jim Winfrey, was entered on the
police docket, and the hero who sank
under all this verbal burden, was
safely lodged in the calaboose.
Another arrest followed, that of Mon
roe Brown, also cOlOred, charged with
being an accomplish of Johnson's.
The crime Of highway robbery is one
very unusual in this city, and it is
hoped that the speed with which the
chief perpetrators has been arrested,
will be followed by equally swift and
severe justice.

morning, when the Squire engaged IN
a wild and truitless search for pair

The Home Insurance Company Of
this city has issued a congratuIatory
circular with beautifully engraved
title page, an evidence OF the delicate
taste Of the active Secretary of the
company, Mr.. Bun L. Price. The
circular expresses the opinion that
the general outlook for fall and winter
business is propitious and the time
is fast approaching for the
placing of insurance. In presenting
these handsome cards, Mr.. Price, in
behalf Of the company he SO ably
represents, solicits favorable consid-
Grafton at the hands of those who have
insurance to distribute, and he prom.
Uses to adjust and pay promptly all
losses the company may incur. 1t
may be we'll to add, aside from
the card, that the Home is fast
marching to the front rank
among our local insurance COM
panies. It's stock has appreciated
full twenty per cent. during the
past six months, and its capital is
ample for all the purposes of business.
Mr.. NJ. G. Pearee, the President, is
among our most cautious and solid
Front street merchants, man well
versed in financial and insurance
business, while among the directors
are such names as Messers L. Han
auer, j. j. Busby, Jno. X. Speed,
N. NJ. Jones, H. Furstenheim H
Wetter, H. Luehrmann, L. B. Eaton,
James Yonge, R. B. Snowden, Louis
Erb and P. Mcintyre. The officers
Of this company are exerting
themselves successfully to swell
the business of their company, and
large accession is confidently antici-
pated during the ensuing fall and
winter season.

The Cotton CrOD.

The condition of the growing cotton
crop shows marked decrease accord
ing to the agricultural report from
Washington. On the first Of this month
it averaged SO against So, the first Of
last month, and the past two weeks, it
may be added, has not improved its
condition any where in the northern
half CT the cotton belt. This is IA
per cent. below the average condition
last year. The plant is small and the
bolls and squares have shed freely.
The same authority reports falling
off in the tobacco prospects, while
corn in the South will be very short.
In the Northwest, however, it is much
better than was expected, except in
spots.

New York Herald, 1a.l
At forty one days from the time he
was shot, the President Of the United
States, with wound Of no great gray
ity, is yet in such a condition that
his friends are hopeful" and the
doctors believe he will get we'll. I"
And why is it that his advance to-
ward presumed recovery is at this
date on no frner ground than is i'm
piled in these ambiguous givings cut
Of surgeons who evidently know the
mans condition TO be such that the
changes Of an hour OF day may sud-
denly belle a more sanguine judgment
and thus discredit their sagacity?
"Thsre is no more fever than was
noticed in the last official bulletin. !"
There has never been any more fever
than was noticed at some previous
time, and bulletin following bulletin
gives us the easy announcement that
though thu pulse keeps high and is
"thready," this is not due to fever,
but to debility. Is his vitality too
low for him to have fever? But as
fever does all she harm Of which it is
capable by exhausting the patient,
and as between the exhaustion OF the
vital forces thps produced and the
debility" Of the bulletins there is no
fair distinction, It is not very clear that
there is much ground for cOngratula-
ton in the absence Of fever that
would only produce the condition in
which the patient permanently lies.
But why is he in this condition Of
unchlnging and apparently irremedi-
able debility How this debility was
produced we all knew. Norty-two
days since he Waa shot. The bullet
broke a RIB and lodged itself in the
deep muscles of the back, doing little
other harm than that involved in the
fracture Of the rib. Ho was picked
up aud ignorsntly, cruelty, bdrbarons-
" told that he was mortally wounded.
He WAS not mortally wounded. His
wound was without notable gravi.
ty. 1t was wound which
properly treated never kills healthy
man. But somebody in hasty exam,
nation hit upon the notion thai be-
cause the wound was opposite the
liver therefore the liver was lacerated

and the man must die, and with this
fearful and cruel error the treatment
began. Is that surgery? What was
surgeon good for in such case if not
to determine this very point-that
though the wound had the appearance
OF a fatal one il was. in. fact, not fatal
nor of great moment? If this is surg
cry was it worth while for science to
displace the ancient barber and his
primitive methodist
Totally misled by the first impression
Of the wound the surgeons failed to
correct this error by examination; but
simply stood by to let their distin-
guished patient "die easily" This
was consistent. at least, for if man is
MORALLY wounded, if he has "only
one chance in hundred to live" to
80 prodding at him with probes and
the other deadly weapons Of the sur
geons is very likely to destroy that
one chance. But, then, il he is not
MORALLY wounded-if this desperate
hurt is only the chimera of fright
ened surgeons brain-yaluable time
is lost by that mistaken inactivity.
And that was what happened, for the
period in which the wound might
have been put in the most favor
able condition for rapid restoration
was permitted to go by, and the patient
remained for twenty-one days without
the simple surgical assistance in
volved in the extraction of the frag-
ments Of bone. From the first day il
was assumed, moreover, that there
was to .oe peritonitis terrible in
hammatory fever-and they began to
treat this fever, of course, before it
came, for it did not come. 1t was
their duty to know that there was no
injury that could cause this fever
but their first fault led them into the
second. To fight this Pigment Of
their imaginations they began
to starve the man and to drug him.
Any man 10 the United States with
out wound may in forty days
be put nearly in the condition in
which Mr. Garfield is by the same
course of starvation and medication,
yet within FIVE days of his hurt he
might have eaten his dinner with i'm
punity. A medical correspondent
who appears to have kept account OF
the doses informs us that he has had
eight hundred grains of quinine and
four hundred grains Of opium.
Debility thus produced has put the
patient within reach OF cluses of dis.
turbance that would not have affected
a stronger man, and has in all proba-
bility produced some causes that
would not have come into the case if
its progress had been natural.

which that journal will have no vote.

who abuse him in the columns Of that

aock.
The New York Tribune would
strengthen itself veSy much as an adj
ministration organ If 1t would frankly
admit that it lied when in 1873, under
its present management, it accused
General Garfield, then in Congress, Of
accepting a bride and then swearing
falsely about it. The malignant spirit

A SUBSTITUTED CHILD.
A Walt Placed ina the AIMS Of a
Brewers Wife as her lnfant
81. Louis Dispatch.

st. Louis Dispatch
A surprised revelation has been
made here in connection with the liti-
CATION over the estate of Joseph Uhrig,
a wealthy brewer, who died in 1875,
leaving fortune worth over $500, 900,
which Included Uhrig's Cave, IA
nous resort for beer drinkers of which
class st. Louis, in its German popula-
ton, has many thousands. Joseph
Uhrig LETT his property to his widow
and two nutative children, August
uhrig and Mrs. Joseph Lideman.
The former ran through most of his
property and died, and died in 1879.
His widow, Josephine Uhrig, set ND a
claim last week to the whole of the
estate, averring that she was the sole
heir. In the hearing of this applica-
ton it was developed that August
Uhrig was not the wealthy brewers
son, but that when he was day and
half old he was substituted for child
just born to Mrs. Joseph Uhrig and
that the deception was practiced in
order to bring back to reason the
brewers wife, who had become delir-
ious, and was unconscious Of the death
of her child at its birth.
While Mrs. Uhrig was still deliri-
GUS, although conscious enough to
miss her child, Joseph Uhrig, accom-
panied by his sister, Mrs. Mary Ann
Ktausmann, and Rev. Father Fisher
went to st. Vincent's Orphan Asylum.
where they found boy child a day
and half old, just the age OF the one
that died. On the representation Of
Father Fisher this child was surren-
dered to Mr.. Uhrig, on his promise tr,
adopt it and treat it in every respF ct
as his own. No inquiries were T,ade
as to the parents Of the child and
Mrs. Uhrigs name was not given at
the asylum, full confidence being felt
by all parties in Father Fish Ier's iudg-
ment and representations.
No deed Of adoption was ever made
but the child was taken to Mr.. Uhrig's
house and passed off as the one that
had died. Many years later Mrs
Uhrig was made acquainted with these
facts, and she declined to hear any
particulars, and would never talk
about it. The child grew up as the
son Of Joseph Uhrig, and he was so,
characterized in the will of Mr.. Uhrig,
Mrs. Josephine Uhrig admits that Size
knew that her husband was not really
Mr.. Uhrig's son, for being his cousin.
she held out against marrying him
until she was told that he was NOT n
blood relative. She always believed
however, that August vas legally an
adopted child.
