Nearing the End.

The tidings from the chamber of the
President grow more and more gloomy
as the hours speed by. Despite the
seeming CLEANS of hope. the patient ap-
pears to be steadily sinking. Artificial
modes of nourishment have again been
res0rted to, and the President IS being
stimulated as far as possible. The prob
lem is to restore the vitality lost by the
steady drain, and unless it can
be done hope must be aban-
doned. The patients blood is
conceded to be so Initiated as to be
likely to produce death, if not fOrestall-
ed by exhaustion. The patient is drowsy
and inclined to sleep, and is ever and
anon delirious, though the surgeons
seek to make light of this wandering of
mind.
DR.. Bliss, who has ever been stout in
hope, seeks to mollifY his statement of
depressing facts with the assurance that
he does not despair. The tele-
grams of Secretary Blaine are freed
from the verbiage of the bulletins and
the interviews with the surgeons, and
are the best indexes furnished to the
prospects of the President. Since Tues
day night every one Of-these has pointed
to the gravity of the case, and it is plain
to be seen that Mr.. Blaine can see but
little, if any, encouragement, and is
waiting for the end. The absence of
DR.. Agnew, too, though accounted for
by the surgeons, is significant At pres
ent it appears that the final issue OF the
long struggle is to be death from exhaus
ton or from another strain, unless the
lost vitality be recovered, for which
there appears to be but slight ground on
which to base a hope.

Captain Howgate is thought to have
swindled the government out of $780,

urged the establishment of colony

thing is that Captain Howgate did not
betake himself to those solitudes,

For a settlement in the land of steady
habits, the people of New Haven are a
queer lot, if one-half they say of them
selves is true. As near as the case can
be understood, one-half of the inhabi-
tants of the city are being bought up to
furnish perjured testimony in regard to
the Malley- Cramer mystery, while the
other half are bribed to keep secret what
they know about it. Everybody seems
to be under pay.

Till where the willows kissed it, silvory sounds
Like far-ofr bells, came ripping, full Of

We knew the singing birds had southwark

We knew the suns broad beams less angry
Came slanting DER the hills in tempered
glory.
Yet, were our senses cheated with his glare
Though day By day still shorter grew his

More quickly melted in the tender gloam-

We know that in the silent, solemn night
The blue depths deepenel with glow SUI

THE REASON OF 1T.

The great dinner was over, and
around the bright fire in Grandma S
parlOr were gathered her children and
grandchildren, discussing it happily.
1t had been a great dinner. There
was no question as to that. Grandma
was one of those comfortable bodies
who keep up the good old customs in
the modern times To her a Thanks
giving without, at least, q weeks prep
aration would have been ridiculous
affair, and it was the general verdict
that this year she had surpassed her
self. Such turkeys, such ducks grand
ma had never roasted Such pumpkins,
such minces, such buildings, such mar
wells in iellles and tarts and patties she
had, surely, never made before!

Truly, she did, and the words caused
fresh peals of laughter, so merry, so
contagious it seemed as though it would
never end.
1t seemed so certainly to the funny
looking old man who stood without on
the doorstep, rapping to get in.
Eyes and earsn' he muttered. Il
will put something in their eyes and
ears if ever do get in" And here he
gave laundering rap! rap! which in
stantly silenced the noisy laughers and
sent Grandma, followed BY the whole
troop of children, flying to the door.

lady in the world.

 It is just possible that the Judge will feel grateful to them for their use of their columns to prepare the commun- ity for a judgment which they want rendered, and it is also possible that he will not. There are not two opin- ions among honest and fair-minded men who know what the testimony Is, as 10 what justice requires in this case; and there are many facts not presented in Court, which may be got before the public ere long. We think we know what estimate the Judge will put upon the patronizing and jesuit ical praise bestowed upon him at this particular jUnctUre, and we know what estimate he ought to put upon it. The course of the journals in questiO n is simply contemptible, and if not in contempt of Court, certainly in con- tempt of the opinion of men desiring honest elections and honest and true canvasses of the votes actually cast.

From HarShaW.

HARSHAW, January 24.
 EDITOR CITIZEN: The weather in this vicinity has been very cold of late, and the camps perhaps little quiet, but all seems tO be hopeful. The HermOsa's 20 stamps are kept at work without any show of the ore be- ing less in quantity. Some perma- hent improvements are being made on all sides in all the camps, and good developments made wherever work has been done
 In Palmetto District, on the west ern slope, the mines bear inspection well. A two-day's visit there re- vealed the fact that Harshaw and Washington Camp may soon find a worthy competitor in Palmetto Dis trict. The wolk most worthy of men ton is that Oi the Giant, IrOnclad, Monitor, Crown Point, Sonoita and Western Star, all on one ledge of good size and well defined, between a granite and porphyry formation, each of these mines showing good sized piles Of pay ore on the dump for the amount of work done, each having shafts from 10 to 90 feet deep on the ledge in ore. The Emperor and Grand Deposit show rich ore and good promise of becoming valuable miaes, and the Bully, WanO, GuyRO, and Haven are good prospects. In thIs vicinity are many other good mines, which for lack of time 1 was unable 10 visit.
 New buildings are going up at Washington and more men are al work than usual. J. D. Andrews and J. E. Guest have just finished sur vey for Andrews toll-road from liar shaw to La NOrla, via MOwry, and near Washington Camp, on which work will be commenced immediately, shortening the distance some two miles, and giving an excellent grade, with good water stations.
 Several sales of mines are about be- ing made. With the smelters of the Holland, W. C. Davis and Washing ton group of mines once started, and the Belmont and Silver Bill soon to fall in line with their smelters, which will be in the near future, there will be no place leil for the |" crodkers in these parts.
 La Noria will call for a railroad to connect her with the back horse cay airy of commerce very soon; also a telegraph line. In 1881 the Pata- gOnias will show that there are mil lions in them.
