was ordinarily the case, "but, in the
Presidents condition." said he, "sup.
puration is not desired, because Of the
possible injury which might folio r."
"What is the nature Of the injury
feared from the snppuration OF the
gland? 2" was then asked.
In replying the doctor said that it is
Impossible to say where it wsuld cad
should suppuration ensue; that it
would be p' ssible for the Inflammation

destroy that organ that it might east

than this, that there would be danger
OF the impure matter viii h is gathered
about the gland penetrating the brain,
and in addition to these risks it would
be a considerable tax on the little
strength the President has left. The
doctor considered the glanduar com.
plEation the most serious feature in the
case at the present time. Dr. Wood
ward expressed the opinion as he left
the mansion about ? o'clock this after
noon, that the President was doing as
well as could be expected.
Another OF the attending surgeons
informed friend during the afternoon
that he viewed the case in a more hope
full light to day than he had for several
days past. When asked what he thought
about the glandular trouble he said
that while he should have preferred not
to have met with that complication he
did no. consider it of serious impor-
tance. This surgeon feared that the
patients stomach would not hold out,
and said that he considered that the
most alarming feature in the case.
The patients bowels are said to have
been moved more naturally and freely
this morning than at any time before
for week past, WHICH is considered an
indication that his stomach IL again
working naturally.

Renewal of the Contest in the Municipal
Court Yesterday Morning.
Mrs. Ida Crawford (colored) and Mr.. A..
L. Hollis (white), with their respective
families, occupy the same dwelling, cor
ner of Sixth and Market streets though
accupying different compartments Being
in such close quarters they ought to dwell
together in peace and harmony, but they
do not, and so it happened that yester-
day morning the representative of the
Saxon race had theSenegambian arraigned
in the municipal court upon the charge of
disorderly cunuuct. The trouble grew out
of a rain barrel, which Mrs. Crawford
claimed was the property of her mother,
and to which Hollis also laid claim by
right of purchase from another party.
The wordy war over this barrel, the
innocent casus bella, waxed extremely hot
until the angered Saxon called the female
Senegambian bad names in the most Wig
orous of English. Then the Senegambi-
an answered back, threatened to kill
him, and finally hurled a rock half as big
as her head at the head of the nasty
talking Saxon For this Hollis made
complaint, and Ida was arraigned in the
municipal court yesterday morning,
where she acknowledged to the stone
throwing, but asseyerated with much
force and vigor, the act was justified by
the foul language used to her. The judge
didn't say what he thought but held hel
in bonds of $50 to keep the peace.

current number of the Atlantic Monthly on
"The English Language" He maintains that
by the end of the twentieth century that Ian
guage will be spoken by nearly 10000 900 of
people; that by that time SO large proportion
of the business of the world will be transacted
by people of English descent that, as a matter
of convenience, the whole world will be COM
PEELED to learn English; that ultimately other
tongues will fade out, 'leaving English the
universal language of mankind;" that the
forces of civilization constantly exert an inhu-
ence toward unity of language; and that,
conversely, a decay in civilization exerts an
influence in the direction of disintegratjon
of common language; that when the Roman
empire was in the height of its glory. vir-
tually the same tongue was spoken in Italy,
Gaul, and the Spanish PENINSULA that, as the
Roman empire crumbled, and the dark ages
swept over the ancient civilization, the diver
gence which has resulted in the modern Ital-
ian, French and Spanish languages, began
There can be but little doubt that the English
language has so spread and stationed itself
that its conquest over the world seems newt
able, if the laws of language are rightly ap-
pretended. 1t is gaining stronger and
stronger hold in Europe; it possesses the
North American continent; it is growing in
South America; it has Australia and India,
South Africa and New Zealand, and also in
Vulnerable trading points'in every part of the
earth. It is, besides, the language of the
Anglo-Saxon race, who are proving them
shemselves to be the central and masterful
spirits of the existing and growing civiliz-
alton.

An Appointment Worthy to be Made.

The GLOBE notices with pleasure an an.
nouncement in the Burlington, Iowa, Gazette,
that j. L. Waite, OF the Haivkeye, is likely to
be selected postmaster in that city in place OF
Frank Hatton, the present incumbent, whose
recent promotion to the first assistant post
master generalship, makes the vacancy to
which Mr.. Waite aspires. Mr.. Waite is one
of the multitude of Ohio men who followed
Greeeys advice and came west to "grow up
with the country He has succeeded in
making his mark in Iowa, because he has
both ability and integrity. The selection of
Mr.. Waite as postmaster would be the
more notable, because in these degenerate days
appointments for responsible positions are
rarely made owing to merit, but are based
upon favoritism. The GLOBE is not influen-
tial with this administration and has no as
piratioHs in that direction, but an intimate &C
quaintance with Mr.. Waite from boyhood up.
enables itvouch for his qualifications and to
extend good wishes and congratulations in
advance. In fact, we hasten forward the con-
CALCULATIONS on the prospects, lest the realiza-
ton should not warrant them, as it is so
rare that real merit is recognized in politics,
we are not sanguine of Mr.. Waite's selection.
