President Garfield was taken to
Long Branch Tuesday morning in the
special train provided for the purpose.
He left Washington at $50 a. m. Dur
ing the journey his wants were attended
to in the usual manner, and his wound
was dressed in the morning, at Bay View
station, near Baltimore. After reaching
Long Branch the fatigue and excitement
of the journey told upon the sufferer,
and he was restless and feverish
for several hours. An official bulletin,
dated Gao p M, reported his pulse at
that time l24, temperature 10l.6, and
respiration 18. Later in the evening
the pulse and temperature subsidized, and
the patient slept. Official bulletins will
be issued by the physicians three times
daily. as heretofore. Notwithstanding
the intense heat of the weather, the Pres
ident did about as well as could be ex-
pected Wednesday. He rested well the
first night at Long Branch, and in the
morning his temperature was normal,
and he appeared to have recovered from
the fatigue of Tuesdays journey. In the
afternoon, the temperature rose to "a de-
grees in his bedroom. He had some
fever in the evening, though less than
the day before. During the day he took
nourishment as usual, and slept at in.

ming dressings the appearance of the
parotid abscess and the wound was
favorable. At 6 p. m. his pulse was l0S.

Barnes, Woodward and Reyburn have

WAsHINGToN, Sept. 6, 1881.
There is n growing demand for auoth-
ar investigation in connection with the
GovernpeAt Departments here. For
some time, and especially during the last
year, nearly all issues of the daily papers
have contained advertisements for posi-.
tious under the Government, the adver-
tiser agrseipgio pay SlOO or 5000, more
or less for the appointment, and per-
centage of salary as long rs employed.
Some issues Of certain newspapers con-
tain two or three of these advertisements.
Here is a specimen clipped from last
evenings STAR:
WANTED-Si00 cash and ten per cent
of salary will be paid for "a position in
any Of the Departments. Address in
confideace, 'QUIRr this flee.
From the frequency with which such
advertis, ments appear, and the continued
use OF this method it is evident that they
are sometimes, perhaps always, success
full. Senator Plumb alluded to this state
of things ON the floor of the Senate, Just
before adjournment last session. and from
the manner in which lis remarks swere
received it may be regarded probable
that something will be cone about the
matter next session. There certainly
should be an investigation. II would be
interesting to know who the individuals
are that carry on brokerage in Govern
ment positions and what facilities they
have for doing it successfully. Those
who have made the effort in a legitimate
way know how hard il is TO obtain an ap.
pointment. Few who apply have the
persistence to pursue their applications

An Old Fashioned Nurse.

She was old-in fact, she was great
grandmothcr--but she still retained the
vigor of middle age, and pursued her
profession of nursing the sick. Her face
was scanned and wrinklcd, the wrinkles
being SO cris-crosscd that one was in
voluntarily reminded of the tanned
alligator-skin. used in making belts and
satchcls but her hair retained it's mt
ural color, and she kept it in order by
means of her pationt's brushes and
combs. Shc had her pcculiuritics, rs
most old nurses have.
Her excessive economy was cqualcd
only by her acquisitivcness. She had
worn her black lace veil for forty years,
her "reps" dress, in whose pattern red
g0llrds chased each otho- over n yellow
ground, dated back to n past generation,
and her other garments were chosen for
their lasting quality. OF these she
seemed to have as many layers as an
onion. The layer exposed to view,
when she prepared herself for rest ut
night by her patients bedside, consisted
of quilted skirt and bodice of COM
mon blue and white striped bcd-ticking.
In her leisure moments she wandered
about the house and lot communing
with herself concerning tho family's
waste and extravaganza. Shc picked up
strings, nails and tin cans she gathered
three shrivclcd apples that hung on n
tree in the back end of the lot ; and she
dug down into q pilo of ashes upon which
the. rains for months had beaten, tasted
thcm, and finding them still strong md
good, ,lpbraidcd tho mistress for not
extracting the lye and making soap.
Nothing that was offered to her came
amiss. She accepted old clothes with
avidity, old shoes and joints Of rusty
stovc-pipc had q value in her eyes, also
crippled umbrellas and rubber boots with
holes in them.
She was not consciously mirth- -provok-
ing in her talk her conversation ron
mostly toward lugubrious recitals of
sickness, death and misfortune, but hor
patient extracted amusement from her
words and expressions. Besides these
traits, peculiar to herself, she had many
common to old-fashioned nurses, but
was cxcellcd probably by none in her
capacity for spilling things, for losing
her spcctacles and for pnttering.

Tho Nile.

An English capitalist, Mr.. Gaston pro-
poses to dam the Nile at the Cataracts
and subject about 800, 600 acres of land,
which is now desert, to the influence of
its fcrtiliZing waters. This is n stupcn-
dous undertaking but it is beyond n
doubt that the present rapids are pro-
duccd by the debris of ancient works of
this description which are now strcwn on
the bed Of the stream, and from an en-
ginecring point of view the work would
be perfectly feasible. The inundation
would then be under complete control,
while the company which should carry
out the work would be reimbursed by
the lands allotted to it out of nearly a
million acres, which would now for the
first time be brought under cultivation.
1t is said that the preliminary capital
has already been raised,
