condition of the president has not materi-
ally changed since yesterday afternoon
and is yet subject of grave anxiety. The
improved tone of the patients stomach
which gave some encouragement to his at
tendants yesterday is still maintained,
and this is the most hopeful feature of
the case. He has taken this morning six
and a-half ounces of beef juice without
nausea Or any other symptom Of gas

for several days at least of this
ability to take and assimilate food,
and upon the continued absence of
further complications. would seem to rest
the patients chances cf recovery If the
wound continues to do well, if no serious
consequences result from the swelling of
the parotid gland, and if the stomach con-
tinues to take food enough to make good the
waste caused by suppuration, there Will at
least be improvement enough within the
next four or five days to carry the patient
to higher place of vitality and perhaps
to put him Oh the road, although not the
sure read, to recovery. The continuance
Of these favorable conditions, however,
while universally hoped for, cannot he con-
fidently predicted.

Tho Amusement Season at Fulton Opera
House Opened.


House Opened.
An audience conspicuous alike for its
Overflowing numbers and the brilliancy of
its composition signaIized the opening of
the amusement season of 1882 at Fulton
opera house last night by Barlow. Wilson.
Primrose S Vests minstrcls. The house
looks neat and fresh by virtue of some re
cent applications of paint both within and
without, and MIR. Yecker has added also
some long needed stage furniture, carpets,
scenery, etc, which, however, We're not
brought into requisition by last evening S
performance. Two of the handsome
lanterns formerly used upon the street
lamps in Centre Square, placed at the
sides of the main door Of the hall, are
further additions to the outer attractions
of the opera house, and completes the i'm
prOvement of which the repainting of the
entire front, heretofore noticed in the In
TELLIGENCER, forms such notable part.
Last nights performance, with the ex-
ception Of the musical portion OF the pro-
gramme, was OF the excellent quality to lie
expected from an organization headed
by four such great names as those of
Messrs. Barlow, Wilson, Primrose and
West. The first part was aTtistically AZ
ranged, the performers being seated in
tears to the eyes of the audience-by reason
of excess of laughter, of course. Ait. Bar
low, George Wilson, Luke Schoolcra(t and
George Primrose made it pleasant with
some stories, new and neat, and some
comic songs; and the finale was a capital
reproduction Of the popular "COopers s
Chorus from the opera Of ''Boccaccio."
The ballad singing fell below the general
standard of the entertainment, and Is
susceptible of material improvement.
In the olio the features deserving of es-
pecial praise were the clog dancing, George
Wilson's funny sayings and funny way of
saying them, and an act of contortiOn by
two performers in spanglcd black tights.
who were mOdestly billed as ''Mr. Green"
While they accomplished some astonish-
ing fcats of ''amphillilostation," their act
was One which heretofore has been con-
sidered better adapted to the circus ring
than to 4 frst-class minstrel stage. The
concluding piece All-rvc-Eat" was an
amusing burlesque of Audran's clever opel
in the rendition of which VIM. Henry Rice
afforded an immense amount of merri-
ment as the heroine, and George Wilson's
impersonatiOn of a nondescript character
called out roars OF laughter. The painful
deficiency of vocal timber in the company
was, however, made very apparent in the
execution of a number of the choruses of
the opera, the only really good thing in the
singing being Mr.. Howard's fine rendition
of the serenade. Darling Good Night"
The piece, however, seemed to take we'll
with the audience, who were liberal in
their applause.
Mr.. H. L. Hartmyer, publisher of the
F6otlight, has begun the publication of a
neat little four-pa sheet called the Pro-
grdnanse. of which the first number WAS
distributed among the audience last even
ing. 1t contains the full cast of the per-
formance and will be furnished at every
entertainment produced at the opera
house.

Can Cows Count +!

A letter from Battle Greek, Mich, to
the Chicago Inter Ocean, says: George
Andrus, an extensive farmer of Gogoae
prairie, and one who has had much sue
cess in stock raisin :, recently stated to
the litter Ocean correspondent as most
singular fact that his drove of cows
always knew on what days they were to
be sailed. 1t has been his custom to
give them salt at the barnyard every
Sunday morning during the spring, and
once in two weeks, or every other Sun
day morning during the hot weather.
This the cattle have well learned, and
during the spring they will come up the
lane regularly every Sunday morning,
and stand there believing and making a
great noise until they are salted; when
they will return to their pasture lot,
which is some distance away. This they
do regularly every Sunday morning, and
never make the mistake of coming on
any other day. The same fact is still
more strange in summer, when they
only come up once in two weeks, and
not oftener. 1its# 4

Every Man His Own Doctor.

Many man who, if his horse or COW
is sick, sends at once for the veterinary
practitioner, will run the risk of pre-
scribing for ailments of his own that
are on the face of them quite as serious
and as much in need OF professional
treatment.
He will take the advice of an ignorant
neighbor as to what is "good for" an
illness, when he would laugh at the
idea of going to the same person for
counsel in any other business or con-
Germ whatever. In the days of our
grandmothers, when the household
materia medica consisted of "roots and
yarbs," with few simple drugs like
epson salts, this domestic or "lay "
prescribing was less dangerous than in
these latter days when concentrated
and powerful agents have become so
common and familiar.
The household remedies of the olden
time were rarely liable to do much
harm, even if they did no good. The
cure was generally in reality left to
nature, though the "roots and YARDS "
got the credit of it. But most of the
drugs of our day are not of this inert or
negative character, and the danger in
their use by the ignorant is real or
serious danger.
The most powerful medicines that
unprofessional people of a former gen.
Grafton ventured to fool with bore about
the same relation to those in vogue that
gunpowder does to nitro-glycerine; yet
the latter are used even more recklessly
than the former ever were. A little
knowledge is not always a dangerous
thing, but when it leads man to think
that he can "doctor" himself, in all
ments of any serious nature, the old
and often-abused proverb is indisputa-
bly, true.-Jomnal Of Chemistry.

Chinese Beds,

There are two kinds of Chinese beds,
and both are arranged for a complete
shutting in by means of hanging cur
tains and tapestry. The expensive kind
is like a sort of cage, having fat
wooden roof, just the size of the bed
proper, supported at height of about
eight feet from the floor on four corner
posts and two intermediate ones. Then
there is sort of Sfrieze or entablature
work running around horizontally,
above and below, so that when you are
in bed you are safely penned in a sort
OF cage, and cannot possibly tumble
out. The carving on these beds is
sometimes very rich, and they cost
much; but the ordinary and cheaper
kind is made of two frames OF wood,
shaped something like the skeleton of
an old-fashioned "settle,'' which are
stood up on the floor, facing each
other. A mattress is placed on the
projecting part of these frames, and a
couple OF slight sticks across the top;
then curtains end hangings shut all in,
and make it look as pretty as the taste
and money of the owner are able. In
side there is. cotton quilt, laid on the
mattress frame. The occupant of the
bed lies on this, having little roll Of
stuff. for the head, and for covering a
very thick cotton quilt.

The Newspaper in a Farmhouse.

People who live near the great thor
oughfares, where they have access to
two or three dailies and half dozen
weeklies, do not fully appreciate the
value of newspaper. They come, in
deed, to look upon them as necessities,
and they would as cheerfully do without
their morning meal as their morning
mail. But one must be far off in the
country, remote from " the maddening
crowd" to realize the full luxury of
newspaper. The farmer who receives
but one paper week does not glance
over its columns hurriedly, with an air
OF Impotence, as does your merchant or
lawyer. He begins with the beginning
and reads to the close, not permitting a
news item or an advertisement to escape
his eye. Then it has to be thumbed by
every member of the family, each one
looking for things in which he or she is
most interested. The grown-up daugh-
ter looks for the marriage notices, and is
delighted if the editor has treated
them to a love story. The son who is
just about to engage in farming, with
an enthusiasm that will carry him far in
advance of his father, reads all the crop
reports and has keen eye for hints
about improved modes of culture. The
younger members of the family come in
for the amusing anecdotes and scraps of
fun. All look forward to the day that
shall bring the paper with the liveliest
interest, and if by some l1nlu sky chance
1t fails to come it is bitter disappoint-
ment. One can hardly estimate the
amount of information which paper
that is not only read but studied can
carry into a family. They have, week
by week, spread before their mental
vision panorama of the busy world,
its fluctuations and it's concerns. It is
the poor mans library, and furnishes as
much mental food as he has time to
consume and digest. No one who has
observed how much those who are far
a-ay from the places where men most
congregate value their weekly paper
can fail to join in invoking a blessing
on the inventor of this means of intel
lec'ual enjoyment Cedu Rapids Re
publican.

WISE WORDS.

To win, work and wait-but work a
goo ! deal more than you wait.
Beautiful are the admonitions of him
whose life accords with his teachings.
Discourage cunning in a child; cum
ming IS the ape of wisdom.
Good actions ennoble us, and we are
the sons of our own deeds.
The chains which cramp us most are
those which weigh on us least.
The only amarapthines flower on earth
is virtue; the only lasting treasure,
truth.
Prefer loss before unjust gain; for
that brings grief but once, and this for
ever.
When the heart is pure, there is hard
~ ANYTHING that can mislead the under
standing in matters of immediate
personal Government.
Insult not misery, neither deride In
trinity. nor ridicule deformity; the first
shows inhumanity, the second folly, and
the third pride.
Misfortunes are moral bitters which
often restore the healthy tone of the
mind after it has been cloyed and sick
ened by the sweets of propriety.
None are SO invincible as half witted
people who Know just enough to excite
their pride, but not SO much as to cure
their ignorance.
There is gift that is almost blow,
and there is kind word that is
munifcence; SO much is there in the
way We do things.
