OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, ID. Gu

NcW Dominion

Editor Ncw Dominion
The first week of the Presidents
suffering ended this morning and
left him in a better condition than at
any previous day since he was woun-
ded. 1t is very gratifying fact
that the ordeal through which he is
passing does not in any way affect
his mind. Through pain, anxiety
and doubt, he keeps the pleasant,
almost joyous frame of mind which
has been his through life. 1t must
be well balanced mind which re-
mains in this condition under these
circumstances. 1t is not exactly
correct to say that the physicians
are confident of his recovery, but
they reported this morning that his
symptoms had been exactly what
they would have been if his recovery
had been assured.
The assassin remains at the Jail
and all idea Of lynching him seems to
have died out. The authorities say
his memory of events at the shooting
is better than that of any other per-

A Medical Opinion


Every sort of an opinion has been
obtained as to the Washington trag-
edy but q medical opinion-that
opinion which fifty haillions of peo-
pie have most desired TO hear.
Among the dozen OF itore eminent
physicians and surgeons in attend
ance upon the President not one has
deigned to crafty the natural eager
desire of the public and especially
the medical fraternity throughout
the country, with such diagnosis of
the case as would enable an intelli-
gent judgment to be formed in any
locality outside Of the executive
mansion.
One Washington physician howev-
er, has a level head and an apparent
ly clear understanding of the case, as
we'll rs common sense way of put
ting it, gives the following statements
which is within the comprehension of
of the unprofessional mind, and is to
us the only satisfactory publication
of the kind we Have met. The state
ment is as follows,
'Peritonitis and hepatitis (inaama-
ton of the peritoneum and liver) are
q necessary result Of this wound.
This condition has now evidently
commenced, and will run it's course.
The gravity Of its symptoms are de-
pendent upon the extent of destruc-
ton by She missile. The most favor
able view TO take is that this condi-
tion wifi become limited. Should it
be general fatal result is inevitable.
Unhappily in this case the latter
course is the most probable. Leaving
these immediate consequences aside
there are remote contingencies Of the
wound should the President survive
say ten days, two or three weeks. An
abcess of the liver may form and
pyamia or blood poisoning ensue.
''The exact location of the ball is
another important factor. 1t may
have dropped from the liver on the
liver on the pancreas behind the
stomach, or it may become engaged
between folds of intestine or n'nsen-
tafy and irritation, fever,or sub-acute
Inflammation follow, which may
involve an illness of weeks or months
with the chances of final sloughing or
perforation
at is to be regretted that some
cool head did not interpose and save
the President the additional shock
and chances of internal hemorrhage
almost necessarily brought about by
his rapid drive to the White II ouse."

A Fool once more.

For ten Years my wife was confined
to her bed with such complication Of
ailments chat no doctor could tell what
was the matter OF cure her, and | used
up small fortune in humbug stuff.
Six months ago saw a u S. flag with
Hop Bitters on it, and thought
would be fool once more. | tried ii
but my folly proved to be wisdom.
Two bottles cured her, she is now as
well and strong as any mans wife, and
it cost me only two dollars. Such folly
pays. III. W., Detroit, Miclr.---Fyee

Mr.. Editor On the I'd inst. we
boarded the hack and left the hot
and uninviting city of Morgantown
for the cool and invigorating shades
of Grant, with its pure, cold water
and good, nutritious GRUB"
There was a time when it was
more disgusting than pleasurabie to
ride in the hacks which ran from
Morgantown to Fairmont, but under
the management of the present con
tractor, Squire NJ. Hayes, who has
| splendid hacks, good horses and
careful drivers who make good time,
it is naught but pleasure to ride with
them.
While en- route we had the pleas
ure of being detained with that Jolly,
good merchant, j. p. Snider and his
cstimable lady, at Laurel Point
Jess. is doing a good business and
his success is attributable, in a great
measure, to the fact that he has a
fair young lady, Miss Flora Coombs,
behind the counter. We believe if
some of our Morgantown merchants
would procure good-looking lady
clerks they would find that business
would increase.

The most enjoyable occasion was
the ball given at the palatial resi-

The Board of Education have APP
pointed L. d. Sisler, j. P. Ross and
John Dietrich as the trustees
of Sugar Grove school. This was
wise selection on the part of the
Board. No persons more qualified
could have been appointed. The
system of appointing three trustees
who have the control Of the school
house and appointing of the teacher
is much better than the old way when
the board appointed the teacher, as in
this case the trustees are more likely
to appoint persons qualified to take
charge of the school and will not be
apt to hire person because offfis be

"A United States boundary lime

The following article handed us by
friend contains some interesting
information in reference to the boun-
dairy line between the United States
and British America: The northern
boundary Of this country is marked
by some cairns, iron pillars, wood
pillars, earth mounds and timber
posts. A stone cairn is 7IxS feet,
an earth mound INA feet, an iron
pillar feet high, s inches square at
the bottom, and 4inches at the top;
timber posts feet high and inches
square. There arc 3S2 OF these marks
between the Lake Of the Woods and
the Rocky mountains. That por-
ton Of the boundary which lies east
and west Of the Red river valley is
marked by cast iron pillars at ever
mile intervals. The British place
one every two miles and the United
States one between each two British
posts. Our pillars or markers were
made at Detroit, Mich. They are
hollow iron castings, three-cighths Of
an inch in thickness, in the form Of
a truncated pyramid, s feet high,
8 inches square at the bottom and 4
inches at the top as before stated.
They have at the top q solid pyra-
midal cap and ut the bottom an oc-
tagonal tlange one inch in thickness.
Upon the opposite faces are cast in
letters, two inches high, the inscrip-
ton "Conventions Of London" and
"Oct 90, 1878" The inscriptions
begin about A feet inches from the
base, and reads upward. The inte-
riors Of the hollow posts are filled
with well seasoned cedar posts sawed
to fit, and securely spiked through
spike holes cast in the pillars for
that purpose. The average weight
Of each pillar when completed is IS
pounds. The pillars are set 4 feet
in the ground, with their inscription
faces to the north and south, and the
earth is well settled and stamped
about them. For the wooden posts
we'll seasoned logs are selected, and
the portion above ground painted
red, to prevent swelling and shrink
ing. These posts do very we'll, but
the Indians cut them down for fuel,
and nothing but iron will last very
long. Where the line crosses lakes,
monuments of stone have been built,
the bases being in some cases Is feet
under the water and the tops projec-
ting s feet above hi9hwater mark. In
forests the line is marked by telling
the timber 3 rod wide and clearing
away the underbrush. The work of
cutting through the timbered swamps
was very great, but it has been we'll
done and the boundary distinctly
marked by the Commissioners from
Michigan to Alaska.

son present, and he aids the District
Attorney very much by telling clear
ly Of events about which the others
are hopelessly at variance. The
question Of his insanity is still dis
cussed but fewer people than at first
profess a belief that he is insane, still
eminent medical men hold to that
view.
The President is not, of course adj
yised of all the kindly messages re-
ceived from north, south, east and
west. He will know how wonderful
ly numerous they have been only
when he is stronger. His suscepti-
bility Of appreciation by others is
very great He would be too much
excited by knowledge that every
citizen, without regard to politics was
constantly waiting with deep anxiety
for reports of his condition. Many of
the Presidents friends believe that
with his recovery the asperities Of
political contests will die out. They
say that he at least will never again
know the party of the past as far as
the refer to any particular section of
the country. So may it be.
He has not been informed of the
projected subscription Of a quarter of
a million of dollars for himself or for
his family in case of his death. In
fact every thing that would in any
way excite him is kept from him.
The curious political complication
at Albany continues, and unless o
Senatorial election is brought about
to-day there IS little doubt of an adj
jourment of the Legislature without
an election. This means without any
question the election of two Demo
cratic Senators from that State. Of
course less is said now than was ten
days ago of political affairs, but it
was well understood by New Workers
here at that time, that the Democrat
ic majority this fall would hardly be
less than $1,000, even if the the wings
of the republican party should work
in harmony. CARROLL.
