At the examination of the President
this morning at 80 the temperature was
1914, pulse 104, respiration Is. He slept
we'll during the night awakening only at
intervals of half to one hour. There is
perceptible increase of strength with
an improved condition of his digestive
apparatus. The tumefaction Of the pa
rotid glazed has disappeared and the sup
puration has greatly diminished. The
wound continues to improve and presents
a more healthy appearance.

At the examination of tire President at
s 80 this morning his temperature was

more restless and the febrile rise was
later than on the preceding night. He

The President has passed Il quiet day,
although his temperature has been some
what higher and his pulse more frequent
han during the previous tWenty-four
hours. At the evening dressing quite q
large slough of connective tissue was re
moved from the region of the parotid.
He continues to take sufficient quantity
of nOurishment and enjoys it. At the
noon examination the temperature was
100; pulse, 10; respiration, 20. At the
evening dressing, temperature, 1OO.G;
pulse, 10; respiration, 20.
Blaine cabled Lowell as follows, last
evening The President had increased fe-
yer last night and was very restless til 5
what better, but his pulse, temperature
and respiration have been higher for the
entire twenty four hours than on any pre-
ceding day since he reached Long Branch
His other symptoms are not reassuring,
and his general condition gives rise to
anxiety.

Saturday says: The President said to
Mrs. Garfield last night; This is the

to have passed up when no other boat
had even come. Ours was case of
mistaken identity that's all. What
was the nature of his "slip upFp
One of the saddest scenes we have
ever witnessed came under our observa-
ton at the steamboat landing, Saturday.
To the bystander who was ignorant Of
the real facts surrounding the incident,
nothing would appear to move the heart
or soften its pulsations. The motherless
little children of Dir. Marshall Pope,
whose gentle wife died some weeks ago,
took passage on the steamer Fanchon,
IN charge of their aunt, Mrs. b. K.
Chlnn, en- route to her home, where they
will have her motherly love and atten-
ton. Among them was little wee baby
that crowed in it's innocence, igno-
rant OF the great loss it has sustained.
But the bereaved father has the kindly
assurance that his loved offspring will
never realize the want of mothers
care and affection, as the gentle heart
of the noble woman who takes them in
charge will ever love and cherish them
as her own. God bless and protect these
little cherubs is the prayer of the CAPT.
TOLlAN.

contribution adding to the beauty ofthe
place, which promises soon to be among
the finest III the South.
The National Cemeteries are under the
jurisdiction of Major General NJ. G.
Meigs, Quartermaster-Gen U. s..
Army, an office or bureau of his depart
ment being specially devoted to the
cemeterial administration This has
been presided over for the last seven
years by Col. A. F. Rockwell, now so
well known as in almost constant at
tendance upon President Garfield dur
ing his illness
The immediate supervision and care
of the cemeteries devolve upon the Su-
periutendents stationed thereat, who
are under control of officers of the @. NJ
Department near the lorality. The Ba-
ton Rouge Cemetery is under the charge
of Col. A. j. McGonnigle, Depot Quar-
termaster at New Orleans, La, who
makes occasional visits of inspection
and examination of the manner in which
the duties are performed by the Super
intendent. These inspections are sup
plemented by visits of Civil Engineers,
employed in connection with cemeterial
and other work within the province of
the QuartermastTs's Department,
The superintendent furnish monthly
reports of the condition of their GENE
teries and these reports are verified by
the frequent inspections noted above. It
will be seen that in this manner the De-
partment is advised of the condition of
their charge at least oncein every month.
A complete system of responsibility for
the property is maintained by reports
and returns to the accountable officer.

Such was our remark, yesterday, upon

note:
Compliments of Mrs. r. +. Patterson
and little fruit planted by us since we
came to the Sunny South.'
MRS. PATTERSON.
The fair donor and her worthy hus-
band, Rev. K. f. Patterson, pastor of
the Presbyterian Church of this city,
settled in this vicinity a few years ago.
BY intelligenly directed industry, they
have made real model farm of their
handsome place, on which may be seen
a fine orchard, all species of fowls, i'm
proved stock, etc. They have given ir-
REPUTABLE proof of what can be achieved
on the Highlands Of East Baton Rouge.
Worthler people than DR.. Patterson
and his family cannot be found any
where. They therefore enjoy the high
est respect of our entire population.
Mrs. Patterson will please accept our
warmest thanks for the kindness she has
seen fit to extend to the CApIroLlAN

Over the River.


We took the 81 A. NJ, ferry, on last
Sunday, in company with Messrs. J. B.
Dupuy, ofthis city, and George Collins
and Cazes, of West Baton Rouge, for the
purpose of attending,by way of q change,
the Mass at the church of st. Peter and
st. Paul, near Bellevale.
The weather being warm, after en-
barking in Mr.. Collins comfortable car
riage, all hands took off their coats to
catch the morning breeze without the
least possible interruption. We were
soon engaged in the cut of, great por-
ton of which is well shaded, SO that we
hardly felt the heat. While rolling along
towards our destination we gazed at the
fields which lay on both sides of the road
and were delighted to see the crops of all
kinds looking so vigorous and so much
better than we had expected. We met
numbers of the colored people one their
way to church, all looking happy. They
were well dressed and their general APP
pearance gave indication that they were
thrifty and Industrious. We couldn't
help but think of the Kansas fever that
prevailed last year, which had prompted
II number of them to emigrate to that,
to them, ihhospitablc country. They've
quit talking about Kansas altogether
aud are now cheerfnlly at work
, to aid in making garden spot Of the
rich lands of West Baton Rouge,
than which none better can be found in
Louisiana.
1t is surprising to see how rapidly
West Baton Rouge has come to the front
since the last tonr years. Her splendid
lands are being given to the cultvator
and each fall brings heavy increase in
the products. Many of the planters are
in the full tide of prosperity aud every
thing looks smiling ov there.
We reached the charch just before
the close Of the morning service, after
which we witnessed the baptism Of Mr.
Joseph Collins pretty baby girl, who
was duly named Anna Augusta Silvia.
The event brought about the conse-
quences which invariably follow among
the hospitable West Baton Rougeans.
The health and long life OF the baby was
drunk in sparkling champagne. Then
the cry of "all aboard" was given, and
the caravan increased by Father Los
souarn, Mr.. Esque and the ladies and our
friend Walter hoars, who, like Butcher
at Waterloo, arrived at the nick of time,
made jts way in due time, to the beau
t5ful residence of that clever, ;stelligept
and whole-souled young planter, Mr..
Joseph Collins, the happy. pater, tamilias.
1t is hardly necessary for us to take
the reader through the pleasant hours
spent before, during and after the sump-
tnous Creole dinner to which we were
Treated. Suffice it to say that the day
is one Of those we have inscribed among
the most agreeably spent of our life, on
the rose-Colored book of memory. Tim.
