HOPE FOR RECOVERY.

LONDON, Aug. 19.-The Lancet this week
says President Garfeld's increased debility and
persisted frequent pulse are elements in the
case of very grave import Should it prove
that the gastric irritation has completely sub
sided and that the patient is able to take and
digest suitable food, there will vet be room
for hope of his recovery. On the other hand
if the improvement recorded on Wednesday is
not maintained, there will be but small chance
of combating successfully his extreme ex-
Aaustion.

were wild and prices jumped on everything,
closing, however, at a decline of &c on wheat,
1c on corn, 1Hc on oats. The market seems
now to be in the hands of the public and you
may look for sharp change in markets. We
are afraid there may be some sharp changes

The Wretch GMiteau.
THIRST FOR NoToRIETY,


WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 19.-The recent
demonstration of the wretch Guiteau seems
to have no other incentive than his inordinate
lust for notoriety. When District Attorney
Corkhill was here, he visitad him
almost daily, to give him a steno-
grapher to have his endless tumble
of words takeL down and in various ways led
Guiteau to think himself an important per-
sonage. His picture was taken and the wretch
was sane enough to know it would be sought
everywhere and this fed his vanity. Since
Col. Corkhill left Guiteau, with the exception
of an occasional visit from Warden CrOcker,
has been treated as the other prisoners. He
has been somewhat arrogant to his keepers,
but it did not change his treatment.
Some days since he complained of headache
and imperiously ordered a bandage for it,
which not coming as promptly as he thought
it should, he tore up his pillowcase for a
bandage, and as discipline for the
misdemeanor his next meal was made Of bread
and water, of which he complained to War
den Crocker, asserting the value of pillow
case could not be taken into account
when it was needed to relieve pain.
Finding he had sunk from his imaginary pos
ition, as an important State prisoner to a
common prisoner in the common jail, the
creature doubtless devised the attack on the
guard as an expedient to attract public at
tention to himself 1t is to be hoped he may
never know how well the attempt succeeded.
The Presidents Wound Ably Treated
WASHINGTON. Aug. l9--Dr. Baxter says
that, so far as he is informed, the wound has
been ably treated, but he feared proper un-
derstanding of the Presidents dyspeptic pre-
disposition has not been so carefully looked
into. He had attended the President for the
past ten years, and knew perhaps more than
any other physician respecting his constitu-
tiOn and its defects. President Garfield,
although of stalwart physique, suffered
from chroric dyspepsia and del
icate stomach, superinduced by Sc
dentary Hhabits and mental strain. In adj
dition to this he had two forms of dissipation
eating too rapidly without proper mastica-
ton, and sitting up to an unusually late hour
at night over his books and in consideration
of his public business. His food did not as
simulate, and he has therefore for years been a
victim of chronic dyspepsia. Of course, un-
der these circumstances, suffering from the ef-
feets of severe gun-shot wound, the weak
ness of his constitution in this respect should
have been matter of great consideration. DR..
Baxter fears this has not been rs thoroughly
considered as the occasion demanded.

LONDON, Aug. l9.-The Times says the

option but to break off negotiations with
England for new commercial treaty, con-
cludes as follows: We hope, nevertheless, the
disagreement is only temporary, and as there
is ample time to treat before the expiration of
the old treaty in November, that solution
will be found of nature to satisfy the inter
ests of the two countries, who have an equal
need of each other.

First Principles
AHINT FOR THE PHYSICIANS

NEW YORK, Aug 19.-The Brooklyn Eagle,
in an editorial on the gloomy news from
Washington says: "Since the difficulty is
now to find food that will assimilate without
troubling the stomach, and since even kou-
miss or fermented milk has been unsuccess-
fully tried, there seems to be but one resource
left, and that is to follow nature in its earliest
and most radical treatment. The very incar-
nation of weakness is a newly-born babe as he
came into the world. He is equipped merely
with the falntest suggestion of
the forces of the man. His digestive
powers are at their weakest at that moment.
Nature has prepared for him at once supply
of the most nutritious and most easily ad-
ministered food. Why should not this same
diet be prescribed for patient almost in the
condition of child? It has been tried as a
dernier resort. The patient need not know
from what source his nutriment came, and it
would be essential that he did not know.
This suggestion has possibly occurred to the
doctors, but in the possible event of its not
having been thought of, the Eagle makes 1t
in the hope that It may, by chance, save the
Presidents life"

.AIiOther Crank
TO CURE THE PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Another crank
appeared at the White house this morning.
She was handsome woman and young look
ing She gave her name as Mary Louise
Remnger, of Brooklyn, N. Y. She says her
father and mother live at No 554 Broadway.
She stated that she had come from Paris
especially to cure the President; that she left
Paris forty days ago, and must see the Presi-
dent before 9 o'clock, as she could cure him
Immediately She sat down ON the Gaping of
the iron fence around the White house near
the gate and when a crowd surrounded her the
policeman ordered her away. She quickly
replied that she was not doing any harm
and the officer had better order the crowd
away. When she was told that she could
not enter the gate, she gave a small locket,
very badly smashed, to Agent Lemap, stand
ing near, and asked him to carry it to the
President, that he would recognize her, and
give her instant admission to his bedside.
The police took her to headquarters, from
where she was sent to the government insane
asylum. While at headquarters it was ascer
tanned she was peculiarly dressed about her
waist. She had on the upper part of her body
bathing suit, which she got at Manhattan
Beach several days ago. She took off fancy
made shirt, and then it was seen by officers
or variety actress, with silk stockings and
fancy slippers. She is married, and her hus-
band is foreman in the office of company No.
II, Williamsburg, Brooklyn. 1t is believed
she is variety actress. She was not at all
violent.

have to go with him. "What for" she in
quired. "Why," said the guard, "don't you
see what sensation you are creating"
"That is not my fault" she responded. '.You
are a policem an; disperse the crowd" After
demanding again to see the President and stat
ing that she was just from Manhattan Beach,
and that her husband was fireman in Brook
lyn, the policeman took her in charge.

Irish Land Laagua.

The Land League held large and enthu-
siastic meeting last evening. The meeting
was addressed by 81. G.. Sleeper, ESQ.,
Mr. Sleeper began by saying that the present
aspect of affairs in Ireland is of vast import
ance to all men who believe in human rights
The Irish people have done more than their
share for learning. But in spite of the ster-
ling qualities of the Irish race, Ireland is not
an independent nation. Her history has been
one OF well known sadness. Poverty, famine
and desolation have been her lot. The pres
ent condition of Ireland is due mainly to bad
government. 1t is the duty of the American
people to answer the wailing cry of Ireland
with sympathy, and to learn from it an in
structive lesson for the future. Mr.. Sleeper
combatted the argument of wealthy conserva-
tism, which declares that man has right to
do what he pleases with his own property. He
must use his property so as not to interfere
with the rights of his neighbor. A time may
come when man has too much property, and
when it is subversive of the rights of the peo-
pie, and is fatal to the prosperity of the masses,
the State has right to restrict and limit its
use. The true greatness of nation does not
consist in accumulated wealth, but when that
wealth is open to the legitimate exertions of
all. The contest which today convulses Ire
land is the con test Of human rights the world
over, and is the fight of the people against aris-
tocracy. MIR. Sleeper said that in this country
wealth was ling rapidly accumulated in the
hands OF the few. Incomes are getting larger
and larger. Certain classes are already put
ting on the trappings of aristocracy. hail the
agitation in Ireland today It tells what we are
coming to in this country if sequestration of
property does not cease and we do not return
to the simplicity of our fathers. There has
arisen in Ireland government within gov
eminent. The Irish Land League is the most
potent, the most significant element in the
great struggle of modern times. The talk
about the people of Ireland not being able to
govern themselves is proven false by the wcn-
derful success of the Irish Land League The
time has gone by when one nation does not
Sympathize with another. The welfare of one
nation is the welfare of all. Geographical
boundaries are annihilated by the steam en-
CINE and the telegraph. The time of oppres-
sion has gone by. Mr. Sleeper concluded with
a brilliant peroration in which he predicted
the overthrow of caste and the triumph of
democracy. Mr.. Sleeper's remarks were we'll
received and he was frequently interrupted by
hearty applause.
There will be meeting of all ladies inter-
ested, at the hall of the I. A. R. A. next
Thursday evening at 7.3O, for the purpose of
forming ladies' branch of the Land League.
1t is earnestly hoped that the ladies of Port
land will interest themselves in the matter,
and that the attendance next Thursday even
ing will be large.

Attempted Suicide.

Last evening young woman named Sarah
f. Brown, aged eighteen, who belongs in Bux-
ton, walked into an apothecary shop and
bought drachm of laudanum. Leaving the
store she swallowed the poison and walked
up street. On reaching Temple street she
stepped into the St. Nicholas and asked for
drink of water. While taking it she began to
tremble and in few moments gave evidence
that she was very i'll. Upon being questioned
she took out the bottle and said "Ive done it.
am going to die.''
AT first the girl would not tell who she was
or where she belonged. AS she remained
stubborn and would not tell where
she lived the parties present were about to
send her to the police station. At this threat
she said she used to live at No. Oak street
and carriage was procured and the woman
sent there. After her arrival she requested that
DIR. Harrop, who at one time had previously
attended her, should be sent for. The doctor
was summoned and, by hard work, after some
time thought he had placed his patient out of
danger. 1t is stated that disappointment in
love caused the foolish act on the part Of the
girl. She is quite progressing.
