THE favorable representations re-
garding the President since his removal to
Long Branch were rudely dispelled by the
bulletins of the 18th and 10Th, which showed
a decided retrogression in his general condi-
tion, coupled with information that an alb
scess had formed in one of his lungs, which
might or might not prove very serious
complication in his present debilitated con-
dition. DR.. Bliss, as usual, took the most
cheerful view of the case, and said he re-
garded it as merely local Inflammation
which would not amount to anything seri-
Gus, but at the same time admitted the
possibility of its extending. The general
belief Of those best informed was that the
President was threatened with another re-
lapse.

GOVERNOR CRITTENDEN, upon re-
ceipt Of intelligence concerning the recent
train robbery near Glendale, Mo-, at once is
sued an official proclamation calling upon all
law-abiding citizens to use their earnest en-
deavors to capture the outlaws. The Gov
ernor also proceeded to Kansas City and put
himself in communication with the county
officers who had already entered upon the
pursuit at the head of large posses of
mounted men. It was ascertained beyond a
doubt that the robbery was the work of To-
cal desperadoes, and the officers were not
long in arresting a number of suspected
parties, of whose participation in the
robbery there seemed to be no doubt.
The loss to passengers on the robbed train
in money and valuables will exceed SIS, 900.
The exact amount of the Express Company's
loss is not obtainable, but is supposed to be
somewhere between $1,000 and $4,000.
A SERIOUS accident happened on the
Louisville, Cincinnati & Lexington Short
line Railroad, on the night of the Sth, caus-
ing the death Of seven persons and the seri-
Gus injury of several others. The train to
which the accident occurred left Louisville
at 5 p. m. While approaching the bridge
chorage Station, the locomotive struck
a cow with such force as to throw
the entire train off the track.
1t continued to course along by the roadbed
until it reached the bridge, which was
wrecked by the concussion, and bridge,
train and all went into the chasm, about
thirty feet below. The train consisted of
two passenger-coaches, baggage-car and
locomotive, and had about 100 persons
on board. Nearly every one on board was
more or less hurt. Those taken
dead from the wreck were !:
Col. F. Neel, Robert Jones, VIM. Maddox
and Walter Scearce, of Shelbyville; Jas. F..
Harding, of SimpsonvilIe; Mike Perry, of
Louisville, and Capt. Perry Wentworth, of
California. Those seriously injured are: II.
Alfred and Thomas Buchanan, Louisville;
VIM. A. Smith, Taylor's station; Miss Anna
Jones and Mrs. Money, of Shelbyville. With
the exception of the fireman, ellison, all OF
the employees escaped with slight injuries.

How California Fields are PlOwed

The fields are plowed with what is
called gang plows, which are simply
four, six or eight plow shares fast
ened to a stout frame of wood. In
the lighter soil, eight horses draw a
seven gang plow, and one such
team is counted on to put six hun
dred and forty acres of wheat In,
during the sowing season, or from
eight to ten acres per day. Capt.
Gray, nesr Mercer, has put in this
season four thousand acres with
five such teams-his own land and
his own teams. A seed sower is
fastened in front of the plow. The
plow has no handles, and the plow-
man is, in fact, only the driver; he
guides the team; the plows do their
own work. 1t is easy work, and a
smart boy, if his legs are equal to
the walk, is as good q plowman as
snybody-for the teams turn the
corners, and the plow is not handled
at all. On the heavier soil the pro-
cess is somewhat different. An
eight horse team moves n four gang
pillow, and gets over about six acres
per day. The seed is then sowu by
a machine which scatters it forty
feet and sows from seventy five to
one hundred acres in day, and the
ground is then narrowed and cross
narrowed.

The Difference in Horses,

Milwaukee Sun: There has
been a great change in livery
horses for the last twenty years.
Years ago, If young fellow wanted
to take his girl out riding, and
wanted to enjoy himself, he had to
hire an old horse, the worst in the
livery stable, that would drive it
self, or he never could get his arm
around his girl to save him. 1T he
took 8 decent looking team, to put
on style, he had to hang on to the
lines with both hands, and if he
even took his eyes of the team
long enough to look at the suffer
ing girl beside him, with his
mouth, the chances were that the
team would jump over a ditch, or
run away at the conclusion. Rid
ing out with girls was short of
much of its pleasure in those days.
We knew.a young man who was go
ing to put onefarm around his girl
il he did not lay up q cent. and it
cost him over three hundred dol
lars, The team ran away, the bug
gy was wrecked, one horse was
killed, the girl had her hind arm
broken, and the girls father kicked
the young man all over the orchard
and broke the handspring of his
watch. 1t got so that the livery
rig young man drove was an in
dex to thoughts. If he had a styl-
ish team that was right up on the
bit, and full of vinegar, and be
braced himself and pulled for all

A Talent for Conversation,

A talent for conversation has an
extraordinary value for common,
every day life. Let any one who
has this gift enter into a social cir
Gle anywhere. How every ones
face brIghtens at his entrance.
How soon he sets ali the little
wheels in motion, encouraging the
timid, calling out unostentatiously
the resources Of the reserved and
shy, subsidizing the facile, and max
ing everybody glad and happy.
To converse well is not to en-
gross the conversation. 1t is not
TO do all the talking. 1t is not nee
essary TO talk with very great bril-
liancy. A man may talk with such
surprising power and splendor as
to awe the rest of the company into
silence; or excite their envy and so
produce q chill where his aim
should be to produce heat and sun
shine. He should seek the art of
making others feel quite at home
with him, SO that no matter how
great may be his attachments or
reputation, or how small may be
theirs, they find it insensibly just as
natural and pleasant talking 10 him
as hearing him talk. The talent
for conversation, indeed, more than
anything else in life, requires tact
and discretion. 1t requires one TO
have more varied knowledge, and
to have it at instant and absolute
disposal, so that he can use just as
much or just as little as the occa-
sion demands. 1t requires the
ability to pass instantly and with
ease from the playful 10 the ssrious,
from books TO men, from the mere
phrase of courtesy TO the expires
sion OF sentiment and passion

Elimination.

Our bodies arc in q state of in
cessant waste and repair. At count
less millions Of points, old material
is being used up, and tantly re-
placed by now material that is as
cast aside.
For this reason it is true not
only that ones body is wholly
every year, but that it Is
not the same at two successive mo
ments. Hence the importance Of
eliminating organs, TO drain Off this
dead matter.
Arterlal blood furnishes all the
new material, while the old is
brought away in the veins, from
which, IL having been elimIua ated,
the residue returns to he heart,
purified 70. further use.
The eliminating organs are the
lungs, liver, kidneys and skin. The
lungs eliminate carbOnic acid-the
most abundant of all the waste; the
liver cholestCriDe-waste of brain
and nerves; the kidneys, the waste
of the muscles: the skin, more or
less of carbon, but especially the
salts Of the system.
If any eliminating organ is mac
tive or diseased, so as to be unable
to perform it's office properly, the
efete Tatter is left in the blood, to
accumulate in the circulation, ex-
cept that some one or more of the
other eliminating organs come to
The help of the former.
The skin often does so much of
this vicarious work that a single
glance at the diseased mans face
will sometimes enable the physician
TO know what eliminating organ is
diseased or torpid. This waste
matter left in the system results in
various diseases-sOmetimes in
sometimes in ulcers and
eruptions, and often in
death, the system becoming at
length fatally poisoned with it.

A Story Of the War.

A letter recently appeared in a
Chicago paper detailing Il strange
duel between Rebel and Federal.
1t was in the summer of 1864, at
Martinsburg, Va. The yank took
shelter behind a stump and at
once opened fire. His first shot
killed the reb's horse, and then he,

too, got behind a stump. The two
men were not more than two hun
dred years apart, ard each OF them
seemed TO realize that he must
either conquer or die. The yank
placed his hat on the stump, and
Immediately the reb shot it off,
Neither of them could expect TO get
away until the other was either
killed or badly wounded. Neither
could expect to XIII cripple his
adversary unless he should make
what was called close shot, for
both men were careful not to ex
pose any more OF their persons
than was absolutely necessary while
taking aim. They fired perhaps
half dozen shots apiece, when the
rcb resurted To d ruse. He remain
ed quiet AMI inactive for some mo
ments, carefully concealing every
part of his body from the view of
his opponent. The Union soldier
began to suspect that his last shot
had done its work, and, growing
inquisitive, he gradually raised
his head above his fortification to
see what had become of his reb.
The latter had planned well. His
Sharpe's carbine was already in po-
sition, and when the yank had ex-
posed his head and part Of his chest
the Johnnie fired. The shot took
effect in the Union soldiers cheek,
and he fell backward with shrek.
We saw the rebel 60 to him, lift
him up in a sitting posture, and
help to bathe the ugly wound; when
he had rendered his fallen foe all
possible assistance, we saw him
take up his own gun and trudge of
to his companions. He could have
been killed or captured, but we had
seen his noble conduct toward his
unfortunate adversary, and we
greeted his departure with rous
Ing cheer. The yankee had 4
frightful wound, but, l believe, he
eventually recovered.
1 hope the rebel got through the
war safe and sound, and that he
still lives and enjoys the very best
that this world can afford. / would
like to meet and know him. l
would rather have his character and
conscience than Vanderbilt's mil
lions. would rather read his
noble, generous, manly conduct to-
ward the man he had wounded than
peruse whole volumes about the
strategic movements OF armies.

The Kingston IN. c. Freeman
tells curious story of an OTnitho-
logical jamborec which took place
there day or two ago. A local
entomologist having on his hands
several bottles of insects preserved
in spirits, for which he hal no further
use, emptied them upon the ash
heap in bis back yard. No sooner
had he emptied the bugs than the
sparrows lit all over the heap in a
perfect cloud, swallowed the bugs,
and in about ten minutes were
drunk-drunk-d as men get
and cut up the same idiotic ca
pers. They fought in free fights of
half dozen, a dozen, and in fifties,
and suddenly half of one party
would break of from their fight
and dash into some of the other
fracases. Almost all the nests were
pulled down and the whole colony
was in state of anarchy aud the
direst confusion. The whole drunk
was over in half an hour, but that
short time served to allow the cats
to slaughter over fifty of the spar
rows, whose combative qualities
and forgetfulness had brought them
too near the ground. Not a spar
row has been seen in that neighbor-
hood since.
