The financial statement Of the Sec
rotary Of the Saline County Agricul-
tural, Mechanical and Horticultural
Association is published i'm another
column. The statement shows that
the recent fair was not only n success
as far as the attendance and interest
taken in II by the farmers generally
was concerned, but was also financial
success. After paying every cent of
Indebtedness, including the premiums,
the expenses of the permanent build
ings, clearing the grounds, the neces-
sary daily expenses, &C., &c, there is
still left i'm the treasury the handsome
balance of S273.5l. II is demonstrated
by this showing that the Fair was con-
Quoted on business principles, and by
those who are fully competent to run
such institutions. 1t is usually "sin"
with agricultural associations to have
on hand any balance" unless 1t be q
balance due" from the association to
the exhibitors, &c. The success of the
Fair Is the strongest kind of q recon-
mendation for the reelection of the
present directory for the coming year.
A handsomeer endorsement of the Di-
rectory by the members of the Asso-
ciation-in recognition of their splen-
did services could not be made.

Fearful Fires.

OTTAWA, Sept. bush fires are reported
on all sides and have created great destruc-
ton of property. A Toronto special says that
the fires are rapidly spreading along the Dor
der of The tnnbefed country: A high wind
is tanning the flames. Telegraph communi
cation is either totally or seriously interrupt
ed. Insurance agents report the fires most
disastrous already; thirty cases OF farmers
having their entire crops aud buildings burn
ed. In. Grayeburst section several farm
houses and barns with contents burned to-
day. Keene limit burned over. North OF
Bracebridge the fires ara more extensive
than in any other township. Stephenson, a
sic. man, was carried out of a burning
building a considerable distance and placed
in charge of two little girls; when, shortly
afterward, those fighting the fire found him
dead and the children missing. 1t is believ,
ed they persisted.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The President is
having quite a comfortable day. He chewed
another piece of beefsteak and swallowed the
piece at 8 O'Clock this morning, Since then
he has had q little chicken cooked in milk,
beside the usual beef extract and porridge.
All of the Presidents symptoms continue
favorable.
In conve rsation this morning Boynton
said the President is doing as nicely as we
could wish. The slight fever which occurred
last evening was not 3 matter OF any great
consequence. Its duration was t, ansient and
was nothing more than one of the fhuctua-
ions which are to be anticipated as long as
the President remains in his present weak
state. lie has not gained much strength but
made a little progress in that respect since
yesterday, as much as we could reasonably
expect, His general appearance has I'M
proved considerably. The gland this morn
ing looks very we'll. He is not nervous and
the sudden roar OF a passing train would not
shock hin. The noises in his room shock
him less than they would a we'll person. The
chief danger is in oyertaXing his strength.
He will probably be first taken to Long
Branch or some northern seaside resort. / e
is quite as well as yesterday; no danger from
the opening into his mouth. The wound
is doing well but not discharging much.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, Sept. 2, II a. H.
Gen. Swain reports the President as passing a
quiet aud comfortable night and continues to
do we'll. He had for breakfast the juice of a
piece of beeksteak and chicken broth. He
has no fever and his general condition is very
satisfactory.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, Sept. ,, $50 p. III.
DR.. Reyburn reports the President has had
quite as favorable a daS as yesterday. There
has been "a further slight improvement i'll the
wound and in the parotid swelling, and the
PATIENTS general condition is, in every way,
satisfactory.

The PaIotid Gland.

Everybody wants TO know about the paro.
It'd glands, the. right one OF which in the
President is reported in state Of inflammation.
A medical friend of the Cheyenne Leader
furnish the following explanation: sThese
glands derive their names from two Greek
words which express the idea Of nearness to
the ear. They lie on each cheek below the
ear, and, OF course forward of it. The tune
tion OF these glands is the secretion of saliva.
aud they are the largest of all the saliYary
glands. Each is furnished with a tube or
duct IA little over two inches long, which
opens to the inner part ofthe cheek, opposite
the npperjdw. Each gland weighs about one
ounce. The other salivary apparatus is com
posed Of the srb-maxillary gland and the
suh-Hngua glands, which lie, as their names
indicate, the former under the lover Jaw and
the latter under the tongue. In protracted
low levers the parotid gland is frequently the
seat of ~tFyers, and sometimes even OF abcesses,
Inflammation OF thisg gland, although annoying
and painful, is not necessarily T.. serious symp-
tom. F.

PER1Ls OF BAG BUsrLEs.
How One Created a Sensation in a
Washington Church.

There is a woman in the West End who
has learned a lesson that will last her a life
time. She has been for years wearing these
paper bags, such as the arocers use, for bustles,
The paper is stiff and sticks out splendidly,
and makes the dress look well. Last Sunday
morning while she was dressing, her young
son got into the loom and blew the bag full
of wind andtied a string around the mouth
OF it and left it in a chair. The good lady
took it and tied it on and dressed herself for
church. She bribcd her husband to go with
her, though he is a sort of Bob Jngersoll
Christian. AS they went up the aisle the
minister was reading a hymn about "Sound-
ing the loud hosanna,'' and the lady went ip-
to the pew first, and sat down while her hus.
band was putting his hat on the floor. There
was a report like distant thunder. You have
heard those Confcunded Paper bags explode
when boys blow them up and crush them be-
tween their hands. Well, it was worse than
that, and everybody looked at the innocent
husband, who was standing there d yerfect
picture OF establishment. He locked at his
wife as much AS to say, "NoW this is the last
time you will catch me in church if you are
going to play any Of your tricks on me. You
think you can scare me into getting religion"
The minister stopped reading the hymn and
looked over his spGctaclcs at the new corners,
as though it would not surprise him if that
bad man should blow the church up. The
| poor lady looked around as much as to say,
II did not know it was loaded and she look
ed the hymn-bO0k through for the hymn, and
az the choir rose to sing, sue offered one side
of the book to her husband, but he looked
mad and pious, and stood at the other end of
the pew and looked out of the stained glass
window. After the service they started home
together. He didn't know what it was that
made the noise until they got homo, and after
a little skirnishinr around his wife held up a
busted paper bag and asked the bow if he
blew tile bag up. He said he did, but he did
not know there was anything wrong about it,
The boy and his mother and a press-board
paid a visit to the kitchen, and there was a
SOUND Of levelry. Boys will be boys
