steamer Rosa, went North recently
to see about the construction OF a
new boat, but met with obstacles OF
such nature as will, in all prooa-
bility, defeat the enterprise tor the
present. The ship yards are over
run with work and cannot undertake
the building OF such a boat as Mr'
De Barry desires for some time TO
come. This was unexpected, but an
obstacle which other proprietors OF
steamboat lines will have to contend
with the same as De Barry. There
fore, from this and other circumstan-
ces, we inter that our shipping taclllt'

the next twelve months. For all

enough already. Freights are de>

The Canning Of Fruit.

To the old and experienced house
keeper who has put up her fifty, sixty
or a hundred cans year for many
wears, and has learned to do it with
little work and less worry, anything
said on this subject seems foolish
waste OF words but TO the novice, to
whom it seems "a difficult nndertak-
ing, uncertain of success, a few sug-
gestions may not come amiss. In
the first place, before you heat your
rooms with the fire Tor canning, have
the fruit looked over and everything
in readiness the cans clean; covers
rubbers and ladle at hand, that you
may avoid all hurry and confusion at
the time of filling and sealing. Use
only such cans as are reliable, with
covers that are not worn out, or bent
or turned up at the edges. 1t is the
very poorest kind OF economy to
make use of cans which are risky or
uncertain, as ten to one you will lose
both labor and fruit. Use no rubbeIs
which have become hard OF other
wise Imperfect from long use. Have
good fruit, good sugar, where you
sweeten at all (; heat enough TO eject
the air and fill full, but hot full
enough to slop over. If any juice has
been spilled OF dropped OH the top OF
the can, wipe it off carefully with a
damp cloth. II alter filling the fruit
seems to contain air bubbles, press a
silver tork into the jar, and bring as
many..as possible to the surface Wipe
the rubbers out OF hot water put Oh
the covel, and screw it down. When
your can has set halfa an hour or there
abouts, screw down the top again,
and so continue The Tightening pro-
cess till cold, or ill it can be made
TO move no farther; then set away III
a cool, dry place, and do not modest

WE DO NOT LIKE THE LOOKS of things
at the White House. The condition of the
President yesterday was such as to cause
general alarm. To an abnormal pulse was
added dangerous temperature. This was
explained on the ground of dyspeptic
troubles, causing local disturbance. We
accept this explanation in good faith, and
the community will cheerfully unite in ac-
cepting any excuse in reason for this un-
fortunate state of affairs.
There has been little improvement re-
ported to-day, and news is almost impossi-
BILE to obtain. From the sad day when the
President was shot, THE CRITIC has been
supplied with information from the sick
chamber by the most careful and reliable
reporter on its staff. He was selected for
the purpose, for the subject was so vitally
important that no mistakes could be tolcr.
ated in our columns. The public will agree
that in all respects THE CRITIC has told
the truth so far as accessible.
At noon to-day our reporter sends down
word that none of the doctors are approach.
able; that they will not leave the sick
room, and refuse all information. OF the
truth of this we have no doubt. We have
only to say that these physicians are running
dangerous risk if they undertake to de-
prive the public of facts. They risk moi
only their own professional regulations, but
their standing as gentlemen under obliga
tons to the public in trying hour.
The Evening critic., 1881-08-16

The Carson Appeal tells how Doc. Benton
and Hank Monk brought ten-pound trout
down from the lake and vowed that the
President should be the only man in
America to get knife into it. "They ac-
cordingly laid it out on the ice and then
went into the house to indite letter to ac-
company it. Benton's idea was to send the
trout as gift of the Carson and Glcnbrook
Stage Company, having, no doubt, dim
idea that the line might sometime need an
appropriation from Congress of few
hundred square miles of the public domain.
Monk thought if his name was written on
a card and tied to the head of the trout and
Doc Bcntons at the tail it would oe just
the thing. 1t was finally agreed to send it
as the gift of the people Of Nevada. They
then built an ice chest in which to pre-.
serve the fish while it was transported.
Next they went out to the cake of ice
where the fish had been left and reached it
just in time to see cat in the act of lug
ging the fish through hole which led un-
der the stable The alarm was raised and
in a few minutes the whole force OF stable
men were laying seige to the cat poking
poles and sticks under the floor and yell
ing vociferously. Up till 8 o'clock at night
they were unable to dislodge the cat and
several other cats had slipped in and were
sharing the fish with the original thief
Benton is as mad as wet hen, but Monk
says that probably trout are not good fol
convalescing Presidents and it was provi-
dental that the cat baggcd the game

IN SPEAKING OF THE VACANCY on the
Supreme Bench, the Washington correspond
ent of the Brooklyn Eagle relates the follow
ing piece Of untold history, and 1t will
prove of special interest now:
In this connection, let me give piece of
inside history about this subject, which has
never yet seen the light, and which would
not feel Mt liberty TO divulgc now were IL
not so timely. When Justice Swaync re
signed there was very decided ieeling
among the Democratic Senators that 1t
would be unwisc TO confirm any Ohio man
as his successor, not because they had any
objection per Sc toa Northern man. but be-
cause Ohio already had her share. They
intimatcd In pretty strong terms that they
would urge II man from the South MS
the most plausible compromise. This
becoming known on the hepS66,ica,n IN siide id,
the Democrats in rejecting any nom
ipation of Hayes, some half dozen of
the Republican Senators came together and
agreed that no more fitting man could be
found for the place than Senator Garland,
of Arkansas. His eminent abilities were
unquestioned. Many keen and worthy
critics, like Judge Edmunds and Mr.. Bay
ard and Mr.. Voorhees, do not hesitate to call
him the best equipped lawyer In the Senate
His reading Is vast and his memory prodi.
gious. SO they. went ahead quietly and
worked the matter up, all this being en-.
tirely unknown 10 the Senator. He had the
hearty support of no less than q dozen
Senators on the Republican side and, In
case of his nomination, would have been
unanimously confirmed beyond the shadow
of Il doubt. One DAY, about q week before
the name of Stanley Matthews was sent in
Mr.. Garland was amazed to see one and
anC Cther Senator from both sides of the
chamber leave their seats, quietly stea
over to his and congratulate him In n caba
listic way, but most heartily, on the com
ing event. TWAS aome time before he could
get n key TO the mystery, and when hi
finally did So he learned, To his great sur
prise, that all symptoms ut the White
! House pointed to the selection of his name
| He was naturally pleased with the proba
bility, for the bent of his mind IL far more
| judicial than political, and he appreciated
the high honor. of being called TO the su
premc Bench from the South by Rcpub
Wash. Mclean took OIL his coat for Mat
| thews, and whatever intentions In the Gar
land direction Hayes may have had were
| smothered and Stanlcy'S name went in. i
might be a happy thought to revive thi.
Garland proposition now. No doubt thu
Senator could still be wooed by the siren
and there Is also no doubt that his col
leagues would yield ready and warm con
sent. 1t seems evident enough that II strong
sentiment Is gaining ground for the selec
tion of n Southern man on the bench ut thu
proper time.
To all familiar with Senator Garlant
there is no doubt in the world of his emf
nent fitness for the Bench and its attendan
honors. He is thoroughly broad and cos
mopolitan in his views, hates everything il
the shape Of reputation and loves every
thing that could rebound to the best inter
