The Presidents Mother.

CLEvELANE; o., Aug. 27.-President Gar-
fields aged mother is stopping with a niece
in Hiram, four miles from Garrettsville. She
receives messages from Washington, and
spends much of her time at the front door of
the house anxiously waiting and watching
for the messenger who brings her dispatches.
She is bowed down with grief, sleeps but lit
tie and that in short maps, and is much agi-
tated by fear for the worst, yet tenaciously
elings 10 hope.
President Hinsdale telegraphs to the Herald
late to night from Hiram, that the mother of
Garfield has been stopping two weeks there at
the home of Mrs. Clapp, her niece. Her sis
ter, Mrs. Boynton and Mrs. DR.. Boynton are
at the same place. He states that mother
Garfield's strength holds up beyond what
could be reasonably expected and in this she
shows the wonderful vitality and staying
qualities of her race. AS she No
longer expects her sons recovery, hope is
dead in the heart and the light of life is gone
out She occasionally shows CLEAN of con-
fidence, but this is only rebound from excite
ment. No order respecting her has been re-
ceived from Washington, and she remains
where she is, where all is done for her that
mortals can do.

VIII Sssrvice the Night.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Dr. Boynton said
at 11:30 tonight that the Presidents condi-
ton and prospects could be briefly stated, and
that if he had vitality enough left to sustain
him until the blood poisoning can be con-
conquered he will recover. If not he will die.
DR.. Boynton said the blood poisoning had
caused ali the trouble with the President; that
but for that he would be up now. He
said the swelling of the parotid gland contin-
ues about the same, and discharges mainly
through the ear. The President does not suffer
much now with concentration of mucous mat
ter in the throat. He could not venture any
opinion as to whether the slight symptoms of
improvement promised recovery or not, saying
it was impossible to tell. All the doctors
agree that there is no danger of the President
dying tonight.

The Duilu Regie,C.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-The gloom around
this city and the White house was lightly
lifted this afternoon About o'clock a
change was noted in the President for the
better. The morning, since o'clock, had
been as depressing as it possibly could be,
without the announcement that death had
made its appearance. The President himself
became discouraged this morning about Z
O'Clock, and it was only by bolstering him up
with hope that he threw off the condition of
hopelessness which, had it continued, would
have been DIS alarming to the case as any one
of the many symptoms which developed them
selves. 1t is a part Of the treatment that de-
spondency in the patient shall be prevented
At noon there could not have been found a
ray of hope with a lantern. DIR. Bliss, DR..
Hamilton and DR.. Reyburn, IN successive con-
versations, said in as many words that they
did not think that the President could recover.
They united in the opinion that

weak and debilitated condition of the Presi-
dent. DR.. Bliss said further that the debility
had made such progress that he could not see
how 1t was possible for the President to repair
He would say that he expressed hope, but
certainly he did not expect that the President
would recover. The afternoon hung along in
th.s uufayoraple manner until about O'Clock
When 4 was noticed the President was d very
little better. Mrs. Garfield, who had been by
his side all day, was the first to notice the
change. The change was not for any great
good in the Presidents enfeebled condition,

carried with it renewed hopes 10 the breasts of

then said: "We have been told by the doc.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON,
Aug. 27, 1850 a. m.-Gen. Swain, in
an interview with a reporter, said the
Presidents pulse had varied good deal
since the morning dressing; the least ex-
ertion, or any slight movement of the
body, was enough to increase its fre-
quency; that altogether its average rate
might not increase a great, deal;
it was occasionally higher for
short periods. The swollen gland, he said,
continues to discharge through the ear,
and this incision and this discharge seems
to afford relief. The surgeons still hope
that the nourishment which the Presi-
dent takes will give strength that will
keep him on the present plane of vitality
until the glandular abscess becomes less
threatening.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27, 5 P. m.-The
latest reports from the sick room are to
the effect that the President has not been
so we'll during the last hour Or so. A
feebleness Of the pulse is noticeable.
The parotid gland has not materially
changed in appearance. ''He's worth
more than dead man." said one OF the
attendants who had been IN the sick
worse" Dr. Bliss was seen at 3 p. m.
He was then nervous and alarmed. The
rise of pulse to 130, which occurred at
about 1:30 O'Clock p. m, was indicative
of more even than the figures showed.
Along with this increase in the number
of beats came an omlnous decrease in firm
ness. From this time the pulse fiuctuated
up an down, not running apparently at
the same late for more than a few mo-
ments at time Mrs. Garfield was in
and out of the sick room more than any
other night Col. Rockwell was ON watch
the latter part of the period He could
give but faint encouragement except that
the patients mind was clear The mes
sages sent by Private Secretary Brown to
the cabinet were that the indications
were not so favorable this morning.
There was no immediate alarm, however.
The clearness of the Presidents mind
was the only grain of comfort to be
cleaned Otherwise the indications point
to an early dlssolution-twenty hours
being the utmost limit assigned by any
at the Executive mansion.

Brazoria county, in 1873, produced
1000 hogsheads of sugar and 5000
barrels of molasses, and the season
was bad one for saving the crop.
This sugar was worth in the market
about $50 per hogshead, or q total
of about $500, 900, and $500 barrels
of molasses, worth about $15 per
barrel, or q total for molasses of
$117, 500, making a grand total OF
about $417.600 produced in the
county during the last year from su-
gar cane alone. The cotton pro-
duced was worth half this sum, and
yet Brazoria county has q population
OF only 10000, and but small per
centage of land is in cultivation.
Says the Independent "When this
county is as thickly settled as Mas
sachusetts, it will contain a greater
population than the state of Della
ware, and produce atleast fifty times
as much sugar and cotton as now.
1t is now admitted that this is the
best sugar growing region in the
United States, by the best informed
sugar men Of the country, who have
worked in Louisiana as well as here.
There is no industry that pays as
well as sugar planting. Now is the
time for those who contemplate en-
terprise to buy land while it is so
cheap. In very few years, as soon
as the mouth of the river is opened
and the railroad is completed, land
now worth from five to ten dollars
per acre win be worth from twenty

Durability of Consumption.

The best physicians are coming
more to acknowledge that tubercH-

DIR. Carl Booth, a physician emf
nent in the regular profession, claims
that he is able to cure sixty per cent
of consumptives at all stages; and
that it is easy to'arrest the disease in
its early stage. His aim is to secure
five points.
1. TO get the muscles which con-
troll the action of the lungs in such q
condition that they can draw the air
forcibly into the finest passages, thus
clearing the lungs of all phlegm and
pus, and re-establishing capillary
circulation and respiration in the eff
fected parts, and stimulating the &C
tivity of the air-ceils generally.
2. To establish perfect digestion,
assimilation, and excretion. In this
he does not seek what to people gen.
ally is the most nutritious and
most easily digested food, but such
az the particular patient can most
readily digest and assimilate.

LEGAL NOTES.

The income tax has been de-
clared to be constitutional by the
Supreme Court ofthe United States,
i'll Springer V. United States, de-
cided the last week in January.
Springer refused to pay a tax upon
his income, and portion of his real
estate was sold to satisfy the debt,
and deed thereof made to the
United States, as the purchaser I'M
der the tax sale. Springer brought
an action of ejectment to recover the
land and was defeated. He carried
the case to the Supreme Court, and
there argued, as he had upon the
trial, that the tax which was levied
on his income. gains and profits, was
a direct tax, and, therefore, the act
of Congress under which it was col
leeted was an unconstitutional law.
Judge Swayne, who delivered the
opinion of the court, said: "Direct
taxes, within the. meaning of the
constitution, are only capitation
taxes, as expressed in that instru-
ment, and taxes on real estate, and
that the tax of which complaint is
made is within the category of an
excise or duty"
"A defendant cannot be brought
into state by force or fraud; and if
any such fact appears the service of
process will be set aside. In Blair
v. Turtle, decided in the United
States Circuit Court at Omaha, Ne
braska, in February, the defendant
had been brought in Nebraska from
Illinois, up requistion to answer
a charge of kidnapping, through the
fraud and procurement of the plant

civil action, and Judge Dundy said,
in the opinion, that Jurisdiction can
be obtained only of a person who is
voluntarily in the jurisdictional ter
ritory of the court. or by a voluntary
appearance of the party served, and
added that the proceedings in this
case ought not to be sanctioned by
any court; that no authority was
cited in which such a proceeding
had been upheld by the courts Of
this country for many years past,
treason, fair dealing and common
honesty, all unite in overturning
such practice" he remarked, and
then declared that if any doubt ex-
listed upon the question, the WELL
considered recent cases settle it.
