good" In the Cairo market tobacco has
been going ub steadily for several wcekspast
until the prices paid here for good article
are in advance of those paid in any other

arrival there and for few
days after, he lost in weight
but since then he has gained
steadily, until now he weighs seven pounds

stagger and fall if he hap

The Cairo friends of Mr.. Hurd will be sorry
to learn of his misfortune. Mr.. Winter
also lntimates that Mr.. Charles Hurd will
pay Cairo visit in a short time.

President Garfield, DR.. Hamilton said
The President is doing very well indeed
and he Is most certainly of the opinion
that the president will recover. He doei
not notice much change in the condition Of
the president since he left, three days ago
but his general appearance is about the
same. His face does not indicate any i'm

natural appearance until we get him out
on the Potomac. | can't say when it will
be possible to move him i; I hope 1t will moi
be long, but cant say how long it will be.

the progress he is making. Malaria has

him. He does not show the slightest symp
