Gnitean'S Relations.

From one of our exchanges we clip
the following: "Miss Flora Guiteau, half
sister of Charles ]. Guiteau. is gradu-
ate of Cazenovia seminary, n. Y. While
there she made an excellent record for
scholarship, and was especially noted
for her musical attainments. Her
mother, before her marriage, was for
some time milliner in the village of
Cazenovia." We can add that there is
not in Freepert young lady more
highly respected, or one who is more
generally admired, than Miss Guiteau.
All of Charles ]. Guiteau's relations, so
far as we know, are in every way most
respectable and honorable people.
There never was viler dead-bea or
black-hearted villain than Charles J..
Guiteau-but he alone is responsible;
no relative he has on earth is in the
least manner to blame for that.-Free-
port Budget.

Bill. MORRISON, of Ohio, declared
that ne wished the president would die
of his wound 1t was such wicked
wish that Captain Cook, an old soldier.
who was standing by, slapped the said
Morrison's mouth, for which ne was
promptly fined for assault, according
IN the statutes of Ohio for such cases
made and provided. Then one-cent
subscription was started for Cooks ben
eft. not So much to relieve him of his
fine, for that was only $50, but to testi-
fy the donors appreciation of the pat
riotic act of the resolute Captain Cook,
and their contempt for the bastard
Morrison. Over $4,000 people have
already sent one cent each, and the do
nations still continue to pour IN with
no perceptible decrease.

POSTMASTER GENERAL JAMES has writ
ten very sharp letter to the Canadian
postmaster general upon the subject of
the appropriation of United States
mail-bags by the Canadian authorities.
Mr.. James states that no Canadian
mail-bags have ever been used in the
domestic service Of the United States,
and that no special international pouch
will be required if the bags of each
country are promptly returned, empty,
to the exchange offices. That this is
not done on the Canadian side is
shown by the recent dispatch of closed
mails from Montreal to Winnipeg in
United States sacks.

MIX Pans Focusing the Suns Rays
Livingston (Avon) Herald.


While the family of John Kinney,
living north of the village, on the Bar
Der road, were at dinner one day last
week, the shingles on the roof adjoin-
ing the house were discovered to be on
fire. This Was extinguished by the
prompt application of few pals of
water, but the origin of the fire re-
manned a mystery. On a subsequent
day and at the same hour, noon, they
wer found TO be on fire again. On
Sunday there was like occurrence,
which led to closer investigation, and,
by actual experiment, twas found that
the fire was the result Of reflected
heat from milk psns left to dry on
shelf attached to the outside OF The
shed where the suns rays fell upon
them. At twelve o'clock the reflection
was thrown directly upon the ends of
the shingles at the caves and set them
on fire. In view of this known fact it
would be well for those in the habit of
drying milk pans in the sun to use
proper precautiOn.

Inactivity Of the kidneys seriously and proxi-

they need stimulant. The fiery sxcitants Of

HE TAKES MILK TOAST.
Unofficial Bulletin.l
WASHINGTON, August 81, $50 PM
About half an hour ago the presi lent
said to Mrs. Garfield, who was sitting
by his bedside, he would like piece
of milk toast. She replied if the sur
geons had no objection she would get
it for him. DIR. Bliss, upon being con-
suited, said it would do no harm if the
condition of the presidents parotid
gland would allow him to move his
jaws enough to eat it. Mrs. Garfield
thereupon prepared the toast carefully
herself and the patient ate with appa-
rent relish and enjoyment piece about
half as large as mans hand, and
moving mis- jaws with less difficulty
than was anticipated. This taking Of
solid food for the first time in about
two weeks is regarded by the presi-
dents attendants as favorable indi-
cation, and has strengthened a little
more the hope expressed this after
noon by Colonel Rockwell and General
Swain.
ALL CHEERFUL.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-There is I'M
doubtedly some improvement in the
presidents condition tonight, as COM
pared with his condition earlier in the
day, and though it is not much it has
had the effect of somewhat reviving the
hope of possible recovery. There has
been since night set In an abatement of
the fever, and the president asked for
some milk toast which was prepared
for him. He ate it with apparent rel
ish and encouraged those around him
to hope that it might possibly be the
beginning of an appetite which would
increase.
Secretary Blaine said tonight that
the president was certainly better, but
whether it was a mere transitory i'm
provement or something that promised
improvement could net be told.
DIR. Boynton said about 8 o'clock
that there was perceptible improve
ment-enough to found very slight
hope upon. He thought the desire OF
the president for toast might show an
improvement in the tone of the stom-
ach, and this was a favorable sign. In
as much as one thing absolutely neces-
sary now, is to build him up and i'm
part strength to his system, but this
was impossible until the president
could take and digest nourishment.

THE farmers near Davenport, Iowa,
are of the opinion that the barbed-wire
fence monopoly is bound to break
down, fence of that character having
been discovered in the country, which
ante-dates the barbed-wire patent by at
least six years. Should the facts prove
sufficient to overthrow the patent, as is
anticipated, the benefit to land owners
in the northwest will be very great.

Hygienie Value of Mirth.

But, aside from all this, mirth has
an hygienic value that can hardly be
overrated while our social life remains
what the slavery of vices and dogmas
has made it. Joy has been called the
sunshine of the heart, yet the same sun
that calls forth the flowers of plant is
also needed to expand its leaves and
ripen its fruits; and without the stimu-
lus of exhilarating pastimes perfect
bodily health is as impossible as moral
and mental vigor. And, as sure as
succession of uniform crops will ex-
haust the best soil, the daily REPETITION
of a monotonous occupation will wear
out the best man. Body and mind re-
quire an occasional change of employ
ment, or else liberal supply of fer
tilizing recreations, and this require
ment is factor whose omission often
foils the arithmetic of our political
economists. To the creatures of the
wilderness affliction comes generally
in the form of impending danger
famine or persistent persecution; and
under such circumstances the modlti-
cations of the vital process seem to
operate against its long continuance;
well-wishing nature sees her purpose
defeated, and the vital energy, flags,
the sap of life runs to seed. On the
same principle an existence of joyless
drudgery seems 10 drain the spring of
health, even at an age when they can
draw upon the largest inner resources;
hope, too often baffied, at last with
draws her aid; the tongue may be at
tuned to canting hymns of consolation,
but the heart cannot be deceived, and
with its sinking pulse the strength of
life GIBBS away. NIne-tenths of our
city children are literally starving for
lack of recreation; not the means of
life, but its object, civilization has de-
frauded them Of; they feel want
which bread can only aggravate, for
only hunger helps them to forget the
misery of ennui. Their pallor is the
sallow hue of CELLAR plant; they
would be healthier if they were hap
pier. l would undertake to cure
sickly child with fun and rye bread

A. M.-The subject of the removal of
the president from Washington at the
present time was earnestly considered
by us last night, and again this morn
ing. After mature elaboration, the
conclusion was arrived at by majority
that it would not now be prudent, al
though all agree that it will be very de-
sirable at the earliest time at which his
condition may warrant it. We are,
moreover, unanimously OF the opinion
lhat at no time since his injury has the
president exhibited any symptoms of
