Washington, Aug. 23.-Blaine to
Lowell: In the last twelve hours since
l O'Clock this morning the president
swallowed 49, ounces Of liquid food,
and had no nausea. His pulse and
temperature arc notessentially changed.
In the Judgment Of his physicians he
has lost nothing since the last dispatch;
il there is any change it is for the bet
ter.
Blaine to Lowell: The presidents
condition is more encouraging than at
this time last night. During the last
"a hours he has swallowed ten ounces
extract of beef and eighteen ounces of
milk, retaining and digesting both.
He has twice asked for food, which he
has not done before for several days.
Pulse and temperature both somewhat
lower; the swelling of the parotid gland
not specially changed. Its long con-
tinuance at its present stage increases
the fear of suppuration. At this hour,
IL p. M, the physicians report that
the president has rested quietly the
entire evening.

The slight variations Of the pulse and
temperature have been unimportant
factors in the presidents case. He has
been sinking slowly but surely, slipping
away from tender and skillful hands who
have sought TO hold him back. That
those who see him every hour as weeks
roll away, should fail to note the signs
of the diminished hold on life. is but re-

thousands Of loving househoulds be-

lief that Guiteau had succeeded in his
wicked work; that the wound was a
death wound, and his heart was full

How Marbles are Made.

Nearly all marbles are made at
Oberstein. Germany. There are
large agate quarries and mills in that
neighborhood, and the refuse is turn
ed to good account in providing the
small stone balls for experts to
"knuckle" with. The stone is bro
ken into small cubes by blows of a
light hammer. The small blocks Of
stone are thrown by the the shoyeltul
into the hopper of a small mill, form
ed Of bedstone, having its surface
grooved with concentrate burrows ;
above this is the runners" which is
of some hard wood, having a level
face on its lower surface. The upper
block is made to reyolve rapidly, wa
ter being delivered upon the grooves
of the bedstone where the marbles
are b0ing rounded. 1t takes about
fifteen minutes to finish a half bushel
of good marbles. One mill viii turn
out 10000 marbles per week.

"Ianthe Howard" he repeated.
"What is she to me. ] told you ]

still. Elsie, darling, be sure of that,
and do not think too hard of me
when you know what an ayariciou,
wretch l am. If only you had her

You start! Ah, my love, do not
blame me too much. Remember,

Howards foolish infatuation for Eie,

"Prsy, do not'so far Inconvenience

And Ianthe Howard calmly laid
down her mask on the ebony centre
table.
"Great heaven. Ianthe "

pledge of a false vow"
And, in her proud, silent way, she
drew of a sparkling solitaire and laid
it quietly down.
"And permet me to say that you
have made more than one mistake
tonight, Jean D'Esterre.
And from out ofs shadowy corner
came the bright figure of vivandiere.
Then one man felt the full misery
his disloyalty and deceit had brought
him, as Ianthe Howard,and Elsie Gau-
det passed together from the room,
united IN their triumph over treach-
ery---the woman he had loved for her
money and the woman he
had loved for herself.
And to-day, Ianthe knows that her
life and love lie sacredly in the hands
of an honest gentleman, and thanks
God, from the depths of her true wo-
mans heart, for the happiness that
bloomed and blossomed out of her
girlhood's soroow.

The very fairest things have said,
And thereby wrought deal of woe;

When you're convinced YOU are poet,
And, wishing all the world to knowi it,
Call on some editor to show it,
Your verses full of glow and blow,
Go slow, my friend, 20 slow!
For many one has done the same,
And thought to grasp the hand or fame,
And yet has never seen his name
In print. And why-waste baskets know;
Go slow, my friend, &c slow.
When YOU to greed for money yield,
And long the mighty power to WELD
That's always found in golden field.
With scnseless pemp and pride and show,
Go slow, my friend, 90 slow.
For thousands, tempted by the glare
OF wealth, have fallen in the snare
Set for the thief. And now despair.
Regret and shame have brought them low;

And spring gives life to summers fiow'rs,
And summers's sun and summers show'rs.

And autumn frost brings winter snow;
Go slow, my friend, go slow!

Divorce in Maine.

According to the Portland Press court re-
ports, at a single term of the Supreme Court
there were twenty-six applications for divorce,
and all but one were granted. Such facts,
which might be largely multiplied, seem to
call for some explanation by those who claim
that Maine is the banner State in some
branches of reform. Gen. Dow is entitled to
the foor.-Boston Post.
Why Gen. Dow should be called to the
floor is not clear Our divorce laws are not
of his making, and may or may not COM
mend themselves to him. But the question
asked by the Post is entirely proper.
The increase of divorce cases in
Maine is patent. That the increase is due
to our statute laws is doubted by many. It
is difficult to believe that public morality or
domestic happiness can be promoted by
compelling two people who dislike each
other to live together. The experiment has
been tried elsewhere and has not ended
well. People do no better in countries
where divorce is extremely difficult to
achieve than they do where it is to be got
for the asking. The trouble is beyond the
reach of law. The remedy is not to be
found in courts or Legislatures but in the
building up and strengthening of morals,
the cultivation of reverence for the marriage
tie, and the Encouragement of unwise
marriages. The evil is not so much the un-
tying of the knot as the tying of it, and the
medicines we need are not the patent reme-
dies of legislators but the simples used by
our fathers and mothers, the simple virtues
of wisdom in choice, mutual forbearance,
fidelity, and self-sacrifcing affection.
