A Nation on ITS Knees
B0atou Journal

Through the length and breadth of the
nation of Christians in which no refer
ence was made to President Garfield's
condition on Sunday, and few worship
ping assemblies in which earnest prayer
was not offered for his recovery. There
was no need of any special summons TO
this service. 1t was the spontaneous and
natural expression of the national feel
ing. The heavy tidings of Saturday
had prepared all for the worst. The
physicians had abandoned hope, and all
human help seemed to have been tried
and to have failed; and in an agony
of prayer the whole nation, with one
consent, directed its entreaties to Him
who holds men and nations in His hands
Never before, probably have so many
prayers been offered at one time in be-
half of one man. Those who have
faith in prayer must have had their con
fidence strengthened by the thought of
such q solemn unity of petition; and
those who have little faith in religious
things can hardly have failed to be i'm
pressed by it. To many minds, the
strange and marked Improvement in the
Presidents condition, reported during
the day, must have seemed reason for
belief in the efficacy of prayer. Whether
these countless prayers are answered in
the way in which those who offered them
desire, or not, only good can come from
this deepened sense of the nations de-
pendence upon God.

The President hsi 3 slight relapse
Saturday night. ard was not quite SO
well. Blaine's dispatch yesterday says,
Last night the President did not rest
well, and twice during the night his
stomach was sc disturbed that he vom-
tied" Yesterday was very quiet and
rather sad Sunday at the White House,
great deal of anxiety at the condition of
the President being manifested. The
vomiting by the President, which alarm
ed his attendants, the doctors think was
the result of being overfed, but why
they permitted him to be overfed they
do not explain. The symptoms late last
night were more favorable and better
feeling prevailed. The removal of the
President from Washington TO Long
Branch has been decided upon by the
doctors A railway carriage will be spe-
cially arranged for the journey, and every
precaution observed to prevent any in
furious result. a Washington dispatch
says: AT Long Branch the President
will be lodged at one of the Elberon
cottages, and the physicians have stipu-
lated that before removal is made a
track must be laid from the depot in
Long Branch to the door of the cottage.
They do this because they DO not wish to
take any risk. 1t might be that there
would be spell of inclement weather
intervene On the arrival there, during the
continuance of which it would be inn
possible to move the President out of the
depot, and the doctors will not risk it.
The run from here, it is expected, will Ee
made in about six hours, the railroad
people believing that running time Of
forty miles an hour will make the easiest
riding. A pilot engine will lead the
train and stop all moving trains so as to
guard against noise"

A TKRRIBLs butchery of soldiers by
the Indians, is reported from Northern
Arizona. Gen. Carr and over one hun
dred of his soldiers are reported killed.
1t is the work Of the White Mountain
Apaches. The White Mountain Apaches
are the only Indians known to have been
concerned in this outbreak, as they num-
Der about 400 braves, but the others may
have been drawn to their forces. If con-
frmed, this will be a serious affair to the
Territory, as well as military. The killed
are probably General Carr, Lieutesnt
Garter, DIR. McCarty, Lieutenant Stanton,
Lieutenant Cruise, commanding the Sixth
Cavalry, and a son of General Carr, who
had just graduated from an Eastern Col
lege. Two troops are being fastened
forward, and by to-day, it is believed,
cOuriers will arrive with the particulars.

OK Wednesday the first Ecumenical
conference of Methodists will meet at
the old City Road Chapel In London, the
church in which Wesley preached and
near which his body was reverently laid
to rest ninety years ago. In it will sit rep
representative Methodists from every
quarter of the world-from Europe,
Asia, Africa, America and from the far
islands of the southern seas. The open
ing sermon will be preached by an Amer
lean bishop-one of the ecclesiastical
successors of that Thomas Coke. upon
whose head Wesley laid his aged hands
in 17s4, setting him apart as the first
chief shepherd of the little but rapidly
growing flock across the ocean. The

Finally he took the floor and talked in
q very rapid strain for an hour and half.
l know of no American orator to whom
he can be compared. He possesses fine
physique, a magnificent, sonorous voice,
gestulstes with nervous rapidity, and
talks faster than any speaker ever heard.
1t seems impossible for him to lose the
msttentlon of his hearers even for q mo-
ent, and there are times when he sways
his whole audience as absolutely as any
mind ever s~ayed another. His chief
object seemed to be to excite their
emotions and to play upon their passions
and he did it as easily as trained must
clan would play upon an instrument. When
he referred to the efforts making to
strike down the republic, he did it in
language and with actions and gestures
which called TO mind the speech of
Mark Antony over the body of Julius
Caesar. He spoke of the enemy invad-
ing France in brief sentences, his rich
voice rising with the climax of his
thoughts and his body swaying to and
fro in the tribune until his hearers were
fairly electrified. 1t seemed to be dec
lamstion of the Marseillaise / never
heard any one who 50 completely embod-
les all the qualities of popular orator,
and, with his wonderful power as an or
gsnizer, it can be readily understood
how he has so long nodded the political
doctrines of France.

SUMNER and drought seem determined
to inger this year far beyond their time.
1t has been an unusually hot summer,
and in most localities very dry one;
and now, in September, both heat and
drought continue. Some places in Mich
igan no rain is reported for six weeks,
and at Eldorado, ILL.,, none for nine
weeks. In the fruit regions of Michigan
and Southern Indiana the drought is the
severest ever known. Chicago is chok-
ing with dust, and Cincinnati with moth
ing to drink but beer. In parts of New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania the
streams and wells are drying up, the pas
lures are parched, the corn has given
it up as q bad job, and the cattle are in
danger of perishing for want of water.
People thought all this would end with
summer, but they we're mistaken. Au-
tumn has come, and still the excessive
heat and drought remain.
