The Latest.
THE PRESIDENT DOING NICELY.

THE PRESIDENT DOING NICELY.
The latest reports from the President
show that he is doing well. He has
gained sufficiently to be moved from
the bed to IA reclining chair, and con-
geOns are satisfied with the patients
progress. He will probably remain
there until the middle of October if his
favorable condition continues.
WHAT DIR. BOYNToN THINKS.
DIR. Boynton, while hopeful of the
Presidents recovery, still insists that
the President is suffering from chronic
pyHmia. He says: The history of all
such cases is that chronic blood poison
ing knows just such breaks and chang
es, and the fact is beyond dispute that
the President has metastic abscess on
his right lung, and when it goes from
there no one knows where it will APP
pear next. Still DR.. Boynton said he
was satisfied with the condition of
things at present and expected the
President to get well, but did not by
any means consider him cOnvalescent,
and would not until he was out of dan
ger, which the President was far from
being now.

sum of money by the kind act of a
stranger who paid the postage on
letter directed to him.
4 The Windsor Journal says: ''The
papers are beginning to tell of the man
who didn't know that President Car
field had been shot" We have found
our mamie lives near the edge of
Windsor, and was in blissful ignorance
of the fact until Monday afternoon last,
when he happened to come into the
village"

The President has concluded that he
has too many doctors, and Drs. Barnes,
ReybuIn and Woodward have with
drawn from the case. There is said to
be no i'll feeling among the surgeons,
and we see no reason for any such
feeling at all. The President is the
principal party interested i'll this case,
and if he wants three doctors instead
of six, nobody has any reason to object ;
and any show of sulkiness on the part
of the surgeons would he extremely
puerile and inopportune. Drs. Bliss,
Agnew and Hamilton are retained by
the President, and we see no reason
why they cannot take care of him as
well as, or even better than, the whole
six could-especially if he continues to
convalesce.

The recurrence of the dark days now,
says the New York Graphic, when for
est fires are so prevalent, gives added
weight to this theory of the day when
old Colonel Davenport said in the state
assembly: "Mr. President, it is either
the day of Judgment or it is not the
day of Judgment. If it is the day OF
judgment, prefer to be found doing
my duty. If it is not the day of judg
ment, there is no reason why we should

4 GOOD SIGN.

DIR. Bliss says that the fact that the
President no longer complains of ex-
cessive WEAKNESS is one of the hopeful
indications. The President has con-
tinually complained since he was shot
of being SO weary, SO tired. He would
say: ''Have | slept any since l was
shot 1t seems to me as though
have not. do not remember sleeping.
When did sleep ?" Now he expresses
himself as somewhat refreshed 10y his
maps, and begins to realize that he gets
some refreshing sleep.

A discovery which is likely to be OF
some value in the line of ancient his
tory has Just been made at Thebes,
where, in a hitherto unknown cave,
some thirty-nine mummies of royal
and priestly persOnages have been
brought to light and caused tlutter of
excitement among those most deeply
interested in historical matters. Thir
ty mummies were those of all the most
illustrious mOnarchs of the most glOri-
Gus epoch of Egyptian history
There lay, side by side, Queen HatasOO,
King Thothmes Ill, and King Ram
eses H., the great SesOstris himself.
OF kings of minor note were nearly all
those of the Eighteenth Dynasty, to-
gether with the father and grandfather
of Rameses, and his daughters. The
earliest mummy found is that of Ras-
kenen, a king of that obscure dynasty
which preceded the Eighteenth, and
which is sometimes reckOned the Thir-
teenth, and sometimes as the Seven
teenth. The latest body is that OF
Pinotem, the third king of the Twenty
first Dynasty, who reigned as nearly
as possible a millennium b. c. In adj
dition to the royal mummies, multi
tude of objects bearing cartouches will
throw great light upon the succession
of those kings. Commenting on this
great find, the London Saturday Re
view sums up by saying: ain short
there is hardly any question respect
ing the great middle period of Egyp'
tian history, including the Captivity
and the Exodus of the Israelites, which
may not receive its answer through
this amazing discovery"

Nothing could better illustrate the
unity of our country than the intense
tenderness and affection with which
the suff'erings of President Garfield
have been regarded since the moment
he was shot, through all these tedious
weeks of waiting and suspense and
this tenderness was emphasized last
week by the readiness with which the
people of the different states Joined in
interceding with the Divine Ruler
for the life of their beloved President.
Mr.. Garfield has felt and appreciated,
during his weeks of pain, the great
love which the people have for him,
and it is this great heart of the nation
which has been ever with him, plead
ing for his recovery and buoying him
up with loving messages. Such things
as these demonstrate that we as Amer
leans are closely knit together, and
that our peoples government is strong
and sympathetic. If Mr.. Gartields
life Is spared, the lesson we are learn
ing now will result in "A union between
President aud people such as has never
before been known here.

course he must needs be punished.
Some of the army officers fear lest this
sergeant's act may be taken as an in
dication of lack of discipline among
the soldiers. There is no danger of
that. The whole army will not be
judged by one mans inconsiderate act.

1t strikes us that when the Boston
Herald takes occasion ut this time to
criticise the methods of the present
administration, it acts rather indis-
creetly. This is not fitting time to
find fault with what Mr. Garfield has
thus far done. Public interests do not
require any harping on this string now.
If there have been any serious devia-
ton from correct policy on the part
of the administration, there will be
time enough byand-by to point them
out and suggest remedies. The coun-
try is not going to rack and ruin on
account of anything done in the early
days of the present administration
there has been no objectionable de-
parture from good policy ; and if the
Herald will be patient it will no doubt
discover that when President Garfield
is raised to health and able to attend
to his official duties, he will serve the
nation satisfactorily. There is no need
of borrowing any trouble on this score.
