me Condition Of the President.

The official and unofficial reports from
Washington are Of q very hopeful tenor,
and although they do not assure US that
the President is out of danger, they
have given relief to the painful appre-
bension of the public mind and inspired
strong hopes of his final recovery.
1t will be observed that the President
continued steadily but slowly to i'm
prove during the day, and up to the
date of the latest bulletin, II p. N.
The fact that no bulletin has been is
sued since that hour gives gratifying
assurance that no unfavOrable change
took place during the night.

1t would seem that inhumanity, atroci-
ty and cold-blOOded, fiendish outrage
had reached their climax, in the murder
of Sheriff Mickler's three children, in
fernando county, Florida, few days
ago, by Sidney King, a negro boy, sew
enteen years of age, whom the Sheriff
had kindly rescued from the clutches of
the law, and entrusted, for a few hours,
with the care Of his children. TIE de-
tails are Of the most horrible character,
and while mob law is to be condemned
in the strongest terms, it is little wonder
that q whole community rose up as one
man, pursued, captured and promptly
executed the perpetrator.

The New York Herald calls attention
to the fact that the metropolis is con
stantly increasing its room as much by
adding stories to the houses already built
as by building new ones. 1t is an era of
big houses, and at the present rate OF
progress ten stories will be the average
height of stores and dwelling houses on
the principal thoroughfares of New
York in a few years. The Herald thinks,
therefore, that New York's growth
should no longer be computed by the
number of new houses built. since these
furnish no idea of the increase in floor
room afforded.

General Grant says: eff this (the
shooting of Garfield is the outgrOwth Of
Nihilism in our country l am in favor of
crushing it out Immediately by the
prompt execution Of the wOuld-be sssas-
sins and their followers. The crime 10
which General Grant alludes was the act
of ''stalwart of the stalwarts, and is
therefore the ''OutgrOwth" of stalwart
ism. The people having their eyes open
TO their danger will crush it OUT all the
same.

The fact that the debt of the United
States has been reduced in the past fiscal
year over one hundred million dollars
gives great satisfaction to the country.
The money that is paid will not have to
be paid over again. But, remarks the
Philadelphia Record, there are iudicious
persons who have the wit to see that we
are riding our free horse for this year
and for next year, too. We are rid
ing him to death. He is noble animal
but he cannot endure the gait at which
he is forced forward.

become an ordinary shareholder. so that
no conflict need be feared between the
two distinct enterprises, which may CO
operate and both prosper.

New YOrk's death rate for the last six
months has been extraordinarily heavy,
being 90 per cent. greater than for the
corresponding period of last year. when
it was by no means light. 1t is safe tC
say that a part of the increase has been
due to dirty and neglected streets, and a
part also. perhaps, to the unusual
weather conditions. These tell with
greatest effect on people who do not lead
home lives, and who have few home
comforts.

One of BeacOnsfield's brilliant" ex-
PLOTS was the stealing of Cyprus from
the Sick Mans" effects. But call is
not gold that glitters, and already there
are strong doubts in government circles
whether Cyprus is worth holding. 1t is
unhealthy for troops sent to garrison it
and costs a great deal of money annu-
ally, without yielding any adequate re
turn. 1t is not at all likely, however,
that Gladstone will yield up Cyprus.
That would be against British policy,
which is to hold on to everything that
has been acquired, regardless of cost

An interesting contribution to the lit
erature of suicide is made in g pamph-
let recently published in Ber-
lin. The suicidal mania is spreading so
rapidly in the German capital that the
authorities are earnestly considering in
what manner it can best be checked
The pamphlet above referred to states
that in the years from 1875 to 1873, $50
cases of suicide were registered per mil
lion inhabitants in Berlin, 2S5 in Vienna,
$50 in Leipsic and only So in London.
Paris, with 400 suicides, nearly sp-
preached the startling figure of Lelpsic.

Gen. Preston was native of Vir.

early manhood. Before the war he
was one of the wealthiest men in
the South. Though a prominent
man, and a very Gne orator, being
scarcely inferior in this respect to
his famous brother, W. G. Preston,
the only political position he ever
held was that of State Senator from
Richland County, which position he
held for several years. During the
war he was chief of the Conscript
Bureau at Richmond. For several
years past he has been President OF
the Central National Bank of Col

Rail Road Talk.

The past two weeks has been full
+ of railroad rumors and speculations.
The Virginia Midland, which vas
left out in the cold in the Clyde
combination, is struggling, to, keep
out of the grasp of this mammoth
combination. From Danville this
road has no outlet South except
over the Piedmont Air Line, and it
is now seeking the most feasible
route for extending its Southern
connections so as to reach the"sea-
coast. A railroad meeting was held
at Statesville, n. c., the Goth ulti-
mo; representatives we're present
from Spartanburg, Greenville, Lau.
rens, Union and Anderson in this
State, and from several points in
North Carolina. From this meet
ing delegates were sent to Winston,
n. c., to meet and consult with the
directors of the Virginia Midland.
The directors have decided to ex-
tend the road to Winston, n. c.;
but the route beyond that point
| has not been decided on. There
are several rival routes the princi-
pal ones being, 1st, by way OF
Union, Newberry and Edgefeld to
Augusta ; End, by way of Spartan
burg and Laurens to Greenwood,
thence by the Greenwood & Angus
ia Road to Augusta Sd, to Green
vile direct. The first route is the
most direct, it being almost an ali
line. Newberry and Edgefeld,
however, seem to be taking no in
terest in the negotiations. Union
is represented by VIM. Munro and
David johnson, Jr.

AUGUSTA, April 2S.-Mr. Barbour,
president OF the Virginia Midland
Railroad, viii reach Augusta to-mor-
row or Saturday. It is surnised that
he comes on Important business con.
nected with the proposed Baltimore
and Ohio combination, which will form
a rival line to The Clyde Syndicate
system. 1t is known that the Balti-
more and Ohio are very anxious to
obtain such 8 iiae. ,..-. ....,.. .
The plan proposed is for line from
Danville connecting with the Virginia
Midland to Spartanburg, thence to
Greenwood and via the Augusta and
KaoxFille Railroad to Augusta. There
is also to be line from -Spartauburg
TO Atlanta by way Of Athens. It is
proposed that these roads shall be
bonded at the rate Of $4,000 a mile,
and, it is said, that the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad will take 81, 900, 900 Of
eehe bonds if the arrangement is made.
- The annual meeting of the Augusta
and R8o7gille Railroad will be held
next Wednesday, aud its probable
that something important will be de-
geloped at that meeting. Railroad
stocks are very quiet to-day. ..
