The solicitude on the part of the public
for the distinguished sufferer at the White
House has obscured for time the petty
chickering's and disgraceful quarrels of the
doctors. I shall be very much surprised,
however, If when 1t Is all over and Mr.. Gar
field is we'll the particulars of the most dis
gushing medical wranglc on record do not
become public. Human nature never APP
pears to worse advantage than when bick-
ering over corpse or over the body of q
dying man. In the exact ratio of the public
esteem for tie unfortunate object of their
wrangllng Is the public disgust. The con-
duct Of the doctors in the case Of the Presi-
dent Is enough to make well man sick and

In THE event Of the Presidents death, the
trial Of Guiteau will be . cause cetebre In
more senses than one. IL looks now as II the
treatment OF the wound would be one Of the
important points put before the Court. There
are many physicians in New York and else
where who think DR.. Bliss and his associates
have been mistaken In their treatment Of
the President. IL Ia not At all improbable
that they will secretely combine for the en-
ployment Of able counsel for Guiteau, TO
make the fight on the ground that the wound
was not at first necessarily fatal, but that 1t
became 10 because Of It's peculiar treatment
by the physicians In attendance. This
would admit the evidence Of medical ex-
perts on both sides, and make . fierce war
among the doctors. But Guiteau will be
hung all the same. Globe Democrat

have arrived within fortnight 1t is stated
the slow progress of the road this season has
been owing to the scarcity of ties and rails,
and that Engineer Blickensderferi is building
considerably higher road bed than hereto
fore. As the grading to Silver Bow is nearly
completed, and rails are coming steadily, it
looks as though construction might be ex-
pedited some.

ABOUT PARTIES.

Don't try to give large party if you
have small house. Such attempts are
a special nuisance, failure, and "a
mistake" Why should We be driven
out upon the staircase? We don't live
upon the staircase when we are at home
and neither our wife, sons, or even
daughters (who are apt to be free with
paternities), think that We ought to do
SO. Why are we to be condemned to
play whist for five hours, because our
hostess does not know what else to set
us down to? But our girls seem to en-
Joy it. Neither Flora, nor Bessy, nor
Emily, appear to mind dancing, although
their faces are more than pink. There
is scarcely breathing room-and so we
put up with it for their sakes; and
when our wife thanks our hostess on
parting, and says what delightful
evening we have had, we try to believe
SO ; but next day, when q lady friend
drops in to gossip about the party, we
find our feminines were not as pleasde
as they appeared. There was no room
to dance only half the people could
get seats at supper and what stuff those
charades were! Does not everybody
know that gentleman with saucepan
on his head, the lid in one hand, and a
poker in the other, means "knight," and
that his holding up copy Of "Don
Quixote," means "of the rueful ceunte-
nance?" Did Miss Jones (how much
longer will she be Miss ?-ask the girls)
think it very clever to bother everybody
with that conundrum? What has human
nature done to be so-amusedp ? A crowd
is not amusing themselves in, or rather, if
you ask more people than your room
will hold, they will tire themselves out,
and set your party down as a failure.
Don't attempt more than you can pleas
antly perform.

FACTS ABOUT MEXICO,

There are some preparations being
made here for an expected rush OF Am
ericans this coming fall. The chamber
boy at the hotels will have to give place
to the American chambermaid, which
will be great blessing to all visiting
American ladies'. Bills of fare at the
restaurants will be in English, thus en-
abling the American pilgrim to tell the
difference between chicken fixings and
garlic soup. There is considerable
talk about the emigration scheme tor
Mexico. From what know about this
country generally, after some years ex-
perience in it, I would advise the Anglo
Saxon, German and American emigrant,
that is of the ordinary grade or class Of
emigrants, to put their trip off for
short time.
This is not the country for hewers of
wood and drawers OF water, with onlya
large family as their stock in trade.
Well organized, and in large bodies,
and under good control Of capital and
brains, they would succeed; but, from
what I know of this country, believe
it would be criminal to bring or intro
duce here the average Castle Garden
emigrant. In time, yes but, before
there is or will be any showing for that
class of people, this country, in my
opinion, has to go through very trying
and diversified era of railroad and min
ing speculation. At present the ony,
class at all adapted for it are from Italy
and the Tyrol and Piedmont provin-
ces.
Samuel Brannon is trying to get upa
scheme for that class Of people to settle
in Sonoa. There is family there
(the Carreras) who own 900 square
leagues of land, which they offer to self
for sSOO,OOO to capitalists to settle
colony upon. There is also another
scheme on foot to settle up portion Of
the state Of Guerrero upon the estate OF
Senior M. M. Gonzales del Moral, who
controls a tract Of land Of 3,500,0O0
acres. The land is represented as near
" all virgin soil, and not far from the
seaport Of Acapulco, on the Pacific
coast. There are only about 100000
people in the state, and Of these, $4,000
are peaceful Indians, the rest Mexicans,

HEALTHFUL PLACE.

Thore lisa patch In the Irish sea called
the Islo OF Man. On q sunny day the
highlands OF Ulster, in Ireland, and OF
Galloway, in Scotland, arc visible from
it's western shore, and from the summit
OF Snaeicll mountain, England Is seen
fretting in the golden haze across the
sea. Small as this island Is, II has
government OF its own, and q thrilling
and eventful history, Hawthorne found
il out while ho was consul at Liver
pool, and has praised II in his English
Note. Book" Scott gathered material
for "Pevesil OF the Peak" from It's ro-
mantle scenery and legends, and Words
worth commemorated visit to 1t in
sonnet.
In its greatest length the island meas
ufes about thirty.throe miles, and in
its greatest breadth about thirteen. In
circumference II is seventy.tive miles,
excluding the sinuosities Of the bays;
and it contains q superficial area OF
about one hundred and thirty thousand
acres, or two hundredand three square
miles. Enjoying the benefits Of the
Gulf stream, the climate is singularly
mild and genial, and there are few other
places in the world where the differ
ence between summer and winter is so
slight. As to the healthfulness Of the
climate, you would find proof in the
native girls--rosy-cheeked, plump, 90.
tive and gleeful and the men are as
stalwart, masculine and handsome 0
race as breathe sea dir.
Most of the coast is rocky and wild,
hoar with the foam OF the turbulent sea
that surrounds it, and indented with
capacious harbors and innumersble
creeks but in the north the land sinks
into low pasturage, and meets the
water on the glistening pebbles Of q
smooth beach. The interior includes
nearly every kind Of natural scenery
heather clad, balsamic hills, plains
richly cultivated, wide reaches Of prick
ly gorse as drear as Yorkshire moors,
and the prettiest of cascades. The en-.
chantment of northern land dwells in
its subdued light and on its mist-crown.
ed heights.
Sleepy villages are perched on tne
cliffs where once the beacon-fires Of the
wreckers allured many goodly ship to
her doom. In the bays where the pi-
rates hid themselves of old, fly the
white sails of pleasure boats. The pre-.
sent invaders are not Romans, Picts,
nor Scandinavians, but aggressive tour
lists, bearing knapsacks instead of eagles
and walking sticks instead of javelins.
These confront you in nearly every part
of the island and the primitive charac-
ter of the natives is fast changing under
the influence of the town manners
which the visitors bring with them.
Many of the superstitions have been
laughed away, but there are not q few
honest folks who yet have q steadfsst
faith in mermaids and fairies.
