FIRST EDI4IO N.
II. 80 P. Nj.

v,,,rrPDAY was one of the most
anxious days in the history of the
Presidents case, No dispatches were
received here until about l o'clock p.
H., and the delay led us to hope for
something better. The morning
official bulletin came first, and while
there was nothing in it alarming, it
was not reassuriug. But soon after
the intelligence came over the wires
that he had another chill and that
other grave complications were feared.
Hundreds of persons gathered
around the bulletin boards
of the newpapers, and everything
was anxiously scanned for the slight
est gleam of hope, but scanned in
vain. Acknowledgement MacVeigh's s
dispatch to the Vice President, the
reported .utterances Of DR.. Agnew,
and above all, perhaps, the report
that Mrs. Garfield had lost hope
added to the general gloom.
Later in the evening, however, the
news was more cheerful, and showed
that the President was resting com
fortably. But the best is not
hopeful and we are prepared to
hear the worst. We will not give
up hope so long as their is life. but
must confess that there is little in
this mornings intelligence to inspire
us with rational hope. The anx
iety to hear from Long Branch to
day will remain unabated.

If the interest of the assured in the prop

turned out that the assured only had title

No TINE TO BE LosT-In the incipient
stages of consumption, the first symptoms
are generally a hacking cough, pains in the
chest, difficulty of breathing, or oppression
of the lungs. Something should be done at
once to check the cough, allay and heal the
irritated parts. ALIENS LUNG BALsAM will
break up the cough in an incredible short
time; also prevent the formation of tuber-
cles. Where tubercles are once formed, the
disease is hard to cure.

Labor Saving.

The demand of the people for an easier
method of preparing Kidney-Wort has in
duced the proprietors, the well-known
wholesale Druggists, Wells, Richardson &
Co., of Burlington, Vt, to prepare it for
sale in liquid form as well as in dry form.
1t saves all the labor of preparing, and as it
is equally efficient it is preferred by many
persons. Kidney Wort always and every

Iiaw oysters.

DR.. William Roberts, i'll mn interesting
beries of lectures on digestive fcrmcnts,
published in the lancet, says The
practice OF cooking is not equally: neces
sary III regard to all articles of food.
There are important differences i'll this
respect, and it il interesting to note
how correctly the experience OF man
kind has guided them in this matter
Tho art cl,s of { oil which we sti ! use

few, and il is not difficult i'll each case
10 indicate the reason Of the exemption.
Fruits, which We consume largely III the
raw state, owe their dictetc value chief
" to the sugar which they contain: but
sugar in not altered by cooking. MIX IL

found on trial that the digestion OF milk
by pancr, attic extract was not apprccla-
bly, fastened by previously billing the

oyster is quite exceptional, aud furnishes
Il striking example Of the general cor

detetic questions. The oyster Is Il most
the only animal substance which We eat
habitualy, and by preference, in the
raw or uncooked state, and it is interest
ing to know that there Is sound physi-
illogical reason ut the bottom Of this
preference. The fawncolored mass
viii h constitutes .no u.,ntv part Of the
oyster is IFS liver, and this liz little else
than n heap of glycogen. Associated
with the glycogen, but withheld from
actual contact with it during life, is its
appropriative digestive ferment tile
hepatic disastase. The mere crushing
of tie dainty between the teeth brings
these two bodies together, and the ely
cogen is at once digested, without other
help, by its own diastase. The oyster in
the uncooked state, or merely warmed,
is, in fact, self-dige,tive. But the all
vantage of this provision is wholly lost
by cooking, for the heat employed im.
mediately DESTROYS the associated fer
ment, and cooked oyster has to he di-
gested, like any other food, by the eat
