and smothering her emotion, arose
and said: Gentlemen, you shall
not give him up He is not
going to die. He is going to live-I
know it. Go back to your post and leave
it not till every remedy is exhausted,
until death itself has set it's seal upon
him, for I will not believe that he is
dying. Go back and do what you can.
You cannot do more, but don't give him

give up until the end itself is upon us. "
Mrs. Garfield has never surrendered

The late gain in the Presidents condi-
ton is apparent in four important

In a word, the President has success
fully passed another crisis.
New YORK, August 29.-Dr Hamilton
said to reporter of the Evening Post:
"The President is in more hopeful
condition than I have seen him at any
time. There is more ground for encour-
agement, and should feel greatly dis
appointed if he does not get well. L
ascribe his improvement to other causes,
wholly Independent of the suppuration
of the gland; mean to say it is not in
any measure, in my Judgment, due to the
elimination of poison by the gland. [
have reasons to believe that his symp-
toms are not due to py@mia, but [ do
not care to give those reasons at this
time. [ can only say as I said at first
that the President is now in a more
hopefuI condition than I have seen
him at any time and l can
not conceive anything that will
defeat the wished for and now
almost assured recovery. The fears that
we shall sustain disappointment are I'M
founded I think and my colleagues in
Washington agree with me entirely.

lowing was sent this afternoon:

His respiration is normal. All the other symp-
toms are reported by his surgeons to be favor
able. Signed, BLAINE, Secretary

LAND owners in Hungary appear to have had
very little faith in the success of artificial indi-
go. though there appears to be not much doubt
that the process for producing it will finally be
in successful operation, with excellent market
prospects. These land owners have been en-
couraged and aided by the ministry of COM
merce to cultivate the plant, and have given to
the enterprise large amount, of money, time
and attention. But an official report declares
thattheir experiment has practically failed. Re
suits we're obtained, but they were out of pro-
portion to the money and trouble demanded in
the care and cultivation of the plant.

The exemptions from taxation in Montreal
are enormous. The churches, benevolent in
situations and parsonages belonging to the diff
ferent denominations, all of which are exempt,
are valued at S7,0OO.O0O, according to the last
report of the city treasurer. The assessed value
of Protestant is greater than that of Catholic
churches, for the figures being 81 ,354 900 for
the Protestant, and $780, 900 for Catholics.
The benevolent institutions belonging to the
Catholics are assessed s., 100, 600, and those OF
the Protestants only at 100000. Opposition
to those exemptions is becoming greater every
day.

into the channel betHzeen st. Helen;s Island and
the southern shcre-this to be accom- pIished by
running dam of large proportions from Point
st. Charles, in the western part of the city, to
st. Helen's Island. This dam would be 2, ZOO
feet long and 900 feet broad, and would give a
bead of twenty feet for miils, elevators and fac
tories. AS contemplated, this project would
cost some 100000, and would realize the fol
lowing advantages: The dam could be utilized
either as railway or carriage road, or both.

The Memphis Appeal. in an article upon the

an undeniable fact that the negro is making his
way and is winning a more forward position
than had been thought possible in the same
generation that say him a slave. While that
people can produce Douglass and Senator
Bruce it is impossible utterly to despise them.
Their children are absorbing education with a
power of assimilation they had never been
credited with possessing, and events are proving
that as working men they are not to be tied

CULINARY GEMS.
COLD MEAT.


A good way to use up bits of cold
roast beef is to chop them fine, and add
about third of the quantity of cracker
or bread crumbs, stir in enough milk or
water to moisten it, season we'll with
pepper and salt, then roll in balls or fiat
cakes, dip In egg and fry in butter.
GINGER LEMONADE.
Take half cup of vinegar, one cup Of
sugar, two teaspoonfuls of ginger; stir
well together, put in quart pitcher and
fill with ice water. If one wants it
sweeter or sourer than these quantities
make it, more of the needed ingredients
may be put in. It is a cooling drink
and almost as good as lemonade, some
preferring it.
GREEN CORN PUDDING.
Crate a dozen ears of corn; season
with a teaspoonful of salt and half a
saltspoonful of white pepper; add the
yolks of four eggs, beating them well IN;
two tablespoonful of butter, warmed;
a quantity of milk, and last, the whites
of four eggs, well beaten. Bake in a
moderate oven for an hour, covering
with piece of letter-paper if it browns
too quickly.
LIMA BEANS.
Put a pint of shelled beans into boil
ing, sailed water, enough to cover.
Cook until tender, then drain them.
Melt a piece of butter the size of an
egg, and mix an even teaspoonful Of
-four with it; add little meat broth to
make a smooth sauce, or use wates in
stead. Put the beans in the sauce and
set them on the side of the fire for fif-
teen minutes. Just before serving add
a tablespoonful of chopped parsley, and
season to taste with salt and pepper.
PORK AND BEANS.
One way to serve pork and beans
which is relished by some of those per-
sons who have constitutional aversion to
pork is this: After preparing the beans
in the usual way for baking (this is
soaking over night, and parboiling in
two waters next day. cut the small
pieces OF pork you allow to season the
beans in thin slices, and lay them over
the beans; they will be sufficiently
favored, but will not be greasy, the.
pork will bake to crisp, and will not
taste as well as it does when it is baked
in square piece down deep in the;
bean dish.
SAGO PUDDING.
Three teacups of milk, three table
spoons sage, two eggs, four tablespoons
sugar, pinch of salt, soak the sage IN the
milk two hours before adding the other
ingredients, beat the eggs well, mix and
flavor with vanilla or rose. Ii the sage
settles to the bottom of the pan while
baking, stir it, and if it seems too stiff or
solid add more milk and sugar. Stir
often enough to have it thoroughly
mixed; it should be soft and jelly-hke.
Serve with cream and sugar.
CUSTARD SOUFFLE.
Two scant tablespoonfuls OF butter,
two tablespoonfuls of -four. two table
spoonfuls of sugar, one cup of milk,
four eggs. Let the milk come to boil.
Beat the -four and butter together; add
to them, gradually, the boiling milk,
and cook eight minutes, stirring often.
Beat the sugar and yolks of the eggs to-
gether Add to the cooked mixture and
set away to cool. When cool, beat the
whites of the eggs to a stiff froth, and
add to the mixture. Bake In buttered
pudding dish for twenty minutes in a
moderate oven. Serve Immediately
with creamy sauce.
