GEORGE w. CHILDs, the capitalist
publisher OF the Philadelphia Ledger,
and A. ]. DREXEL, the wealthy banker OF
that city, are engaged in an important
new enterprise. They have purchased
600 acres OF ground, thirteen miles out
of the city, at Wayne station, on the
Pennsylvania railroad, which they will
divide into one-acre lots, and erect on
each lot a cottage at a cost OF $1,000 to
$1,000. The land cost them $500 an
acre. They will expend 100000 on the
tract in landscape o~rnamentation, $780,
900 in water works to supply the village
with good water, and Sl.50O,O CO
on the general Improvement,
including the building OF the
Cottages. One ornate hotel, called the
Bellevue, has already been erected, and

THE venerable THURLow WEED, on
being asked if there is likely to be any
change IN political parties growing out
OF ARTHUR's accession to the presidency.
replied thus:
"That will depend entirely upon the
course that President Arthur takes.
The confiience, not only OF the Repub-
lican party, but of the people generally,
has grown so strong in favor OF the late
President, and there is so generally q
belief that his administration would
have been enlightened and patriotic,
that it will be necessary for President
Arthur to curry out the measures and
policy which it was supposed
President Garfield had in contempla-
ton. In other words, President Arthur
will necessarily follow in the footsteps
of his predecessor. His administration
will be either a marked success or a
notifying failure. He will be either a
strong President or he will signally
break down. From my long and init
mate acquaintance with him, coupled
with the fact that he has had two
months Of preliminary education, l am
prepared to express the opinion that he
will be good President and have the
confidence of the Republican party. If
he fulf!,s these condit ons the Republi-
can party will strengthen and perpetu-
ate itself. If he makes the mistskes that
were made by Johnson, Fillmore and
Tyler he will meet their fate, ard the
Republican party will go down with
him"

A CURIOUS little story about General
GRANTS Arabian steeds is told by Mrs.
HooPER. She says that when the horses
were delivered to the American official
who was Geputed to represent General
GRANT he found that through some
hocus pocus of the employees OF the
Sultan's stables one of the horses select
reasr, DeIng lame and generally IN
sound. Our countryman did mo- wish
TO forward so wretched an animal to the
United States, yet what was to be done1
To refuse the Sultan's gift would have
been a deadly insult, and besides, he
had no right to do anything OF the
kind; while to find fault with it
would have been a deadlier. Finally a
bright idea struck him. The unsound
horse happened to be black, so he
sent for the high and mighty Turkish
official who had the matter in charge, and
regretiully informed him that, though
Gen. GRANT was enchanted with the
two noble steeds that were accorded him
by the msgnifcence Of the Sultan, he
would unfortunately, be unable to use
the black one, as horses of that color
we're Only employed for funerals in
America, and to offer or accept n as
a gift was held to be an exceedingly bad
omen in that country. The courteous
Turk vas profuse in ciyilities and apol-
ogies, the black horse was taken away
and a handsome animal ola gray color
was sent in its stead.

AN nxrRA Session or CONGRESS.

AN EXTRA SESSION or CONGRESS.
Among the first official acts OF the
new President will probably be a proc
lamstion converting Congress in extra
session.
It may strike President ARTHUR as one
among the very many strange events
through which we are passing that up.n
his sudden and singular acc sslon 70 tne
presidency he is first confronted win
the necessity Of providing against tne
arrangement and danger to the govern
mpnt which now exists through his
own agency when as the presiding oncei

a successor in the event OF his death.
Gould be then have forseen what has
since happened he would doubtless nave
regarded any party advantage or disaa'
vantage which was likely to follow sucn
a neglect OF duty as most unWarran'eu
and unseemly in view OF the RISK 70
which the general government has oeen
thereby subjected.
The life Of a human being is too CAPRI
cious a possession upon which to rest
any important interest OF the national
government Gen GARFIELD was q nne
specimen of physical manhood At N
time of his inauguration. ) his
physical development and vigor
were the pride Of his friends and were
assiduously fostered and cared Tor on
his own part by temperate habits and
constant observance Of the laws oil
health. No officer Of the government
had greater promise of serving his term
and of a long life, than had Genera
GARFIELD. But he is dead before the
first year had terminated.
Now General ARTHUR is the only life
which stands between the Presidents
Office and an ~interregnum. Naturally
there is uneasiness throughout the
country lest far worse compilca,
tons arise than hat involved
in the death OF President GARFIELD
The business interests of the country
will be more or less sensitive to the ex
istence of such a condition, and the PEG
ple will doubtless demand that the 9th
cisi who will be entitled to the Presiden
cy in the event of the death OF Presiden'
ARTHUR, shall be elected without loss o
time, and the new President will fee
equally solicitous to have this link il
the presidential succession at once sup
piled.

THERE is a strong SAVIOR OF probability
in the argument that the human race is
losing in physical strength and stature
by the substitution Of what is termed
fine bread for the coarse but wholesome
production of earlier days. The exces-
siye refinement OF flour, as in every
other case, is obtained at the cost OF rug
ged strength and the extrusion OF some
elements which go toward the making
up Of bone and sinew. In fact a
great deal of extra expense
is incurred in order to produce
an article of less value to the physical
system and only inferentially more
pleasing to the eye, for there is really
nothing very charming IN the chalEy
white appearance of the we treated
wheaton bread. The digestive proper.
ties OF the iran are also missing from
tine fine bread. All food matters are
worthy of careful attention, and any
deterioration Of the great staple, bread,
is Of especial importance. The Bread
Reform League in England is moving in
matter, and we are at least as much
interested on this side of the Atlantic.

oFTHE AUTOPSY

oFTHE AUTOPSY
If there is any satisfaction in the TACT
that the wound inflicted by OUTLAWS
bullet was necessarily and inevitably
fatal, that fact seems to be clearly re-
vealed by the pod norton examination OF
the Presidents body.
It was only the careful nursing OF the
patient, together with the vigor OF his
constitution, which prolonged his lie
through nearly three months OF suffer.
ing.
= In most particulars the later diagnosis
Of the ease by the surgeons was correct.
There was n very important feature,
however, that did not seem to be given
that consideration by them which others
outside Of the case and outside OF the
profession we're wont to give it. 1t vii
be remembered that the first complaint
made by Gen. GARFIELD after the shoot
ing was OF a pain in his feet
which he himself described as like the
sticking of a million needles into him. The
surgeons v seemed to attach much
Importance TO this. but by very many 1t
was regarded as an indication OF serious
injury TO the spine, and so insisted upon
by many critics through the press.
The autopsy reveals very clearly that
this surmisc was we'll founded, and not
ONLY go, but that in all probability the
President would have been a cripple
without the use OF his limbs, even il he
eould have 80 far recovered as TO stand
on his feet. The official report OF the
autopsy says:
II was found that the ball, after trac,
turing the right eleventh rib, had passed
through the spinal column in front Of
the spinal canal, iracturing the oody Oh
the first lumbar verteble, driving q
number of small fragments OF b bone
into the adjacent soft parts, and lodging
lust below the pancreas, about Two
inches and a half to the left oil the
| spine and behind the peritoneum, where
it had become completely encysted.
While the immediate cause OF death
is attributed to secondary hemorrhage
of the mesenteric arteries there is very
positive evidence that the injury to the
vertebrae was the most serious damage
done by the ball and was the unex-
planned cause of the continued high
pulse and septic coalition which
gradually wore the patient out
and prevented repairs IN
other parts of the wound. 1t was not
so much the malaria Of the White House
which produced the symptoms so much
resembling the action ofa poisonous at
mosphere upon the system and occa'
sionned such a variety OF opinion as to
the degree and source Of blood poison
ing, but it was the fatal stroke upon the
spinal column, which was quite as sure
to produce death in the end as if the ball
had taken the course originally sup
posed, through the liver.
There is a large field for discussion
growing out of the revelations OF the
autopsy, which we leave to the doctors,
believing they will not be slow to i'm
prove il.
