aid, at Washington asserts that since the
treatment of the presidents case COM
menced he has had administered to him by
the doctors, 800 grains of quinine and 400
grains of morphine, besides two painful

in the report that the two principle barge

The Farnbaker-C earle affair of Tuesday
evening, to which reference is made else
where, serves as further warning if any
were needed, that this community, like
nearly every other in the world, is afflicted
with number of young roughs, who, with
ugly instlcts Unborn, have an admiration for
whatever is aggressive and bloody; in
whose estimation dangerous man is a
heroic type. To carry brass knucks, knives
and pistols Is to them laudible thing and
one Of the marks Of independent manhood !;
and TO strike, cut and shoot upon the
slightest provocation, is panacia for their
demoralized natures. The aggressor in the
case referred to ia typical of the character
above delineated as nearly everyone knew,
even without Tuesdays disgraceful affair {;
but his part in that affair proved beyond
the possibility of doubt that he is dan
gerous young citizen.
