DIR. HAMILTON STILL HOPFFJv..


DIR. +. II. Hamilton asked again last evening
by reporter of THE TRIBUNE to give his opinion of
the Presidents condition. He replied that nothing
had occurred within the last twenty four hours -
cause the alarm that some protested to .ccl The
rise in temperature and increase in pulse had oc-
CURED for several evenings, and both were
natural at that time of day even in
q well person He added. however that
the Presidents condition would he more
favorable if these symptoms were absent altogether
There was nothing discouraging in the official bull
letins, which he thought were scrupulously correct
as i'll the private intelligence sent him 10y the attend
ing surgeons. He repeated the assertion that he ha,
made from the beginning that every hour that
eIapSes without more dangerous symptoms increases
the PATIENTS chances of recovery.
Following is the official dispatch sent DIR. Uainil-

A Pump.ROOm Promenade.

A correspondent from bennington Spa,
England, says: SIT is the Pump-room
with its colonnade of stately pillars and its
troops of languid loungers ogling one
another with the critical stare that seems to
be the proud privilege of superior breeding.
Young swells who are down at the Spa for
holiday firt amiably with the daughters of
invalid papas and devoted mammas who
find London unhealthy at the out-of-town
season. The sound of revelry is heard the
subscribers to the Pump-room concert
gather at doors of the great hall, and the
carriages and footmen begin to multiply in
the broad street that runs down in front of
the one fashionable resort of the town. No
one looks particularly unwell, yet every one
bathes in the ill-smelling water and drinks
more or less of the disagreeable element,
and is made whole in spite Of himself The
invalid chairmen are out on dress parade,
dragging about with them hearty looking
people, who seem to be playing sick for the
sake of the ride in these overgrown
baby carriages. The hall is moderately
filled; the orchestra sets every nerve upon
springs, and society exchanges compliments
to the bewitching measures of the 50 Con-
spirator's Chorus The prima donna sings
her aria with concious art and withdraws
smiling, while the hundred-tongued MUIR
murs of criticism fill the rather long inter-
walls in the programme. There is formal
spirit of approval possessing the majority of
the auditors; there is nervous spirit of
suspense possessing the artists who are
taking stout behind the cuYtains; there is
cold and worldly spirit of Indifference
possessing the doorkeepers, and there is no
spirit whatever, if appearances may be re-
lied upon, possessing the sole police, who
stands in the outer hall like an effgy of him.

A Texas Cattle Farmer.


The correspondence Of the Baltimore
american gives the following, relative to
the ''cattle kings" of Texas: Captain
King has an enclosed pasture 81 5000
acres, though he owns $50, 1000 acres of land
in Nueces and Duval Counties. The entire
stock held by him at the present time is 50,
600 head of cattle. 10000 head of sheep,
and 10, 900 head of horses. He oyerstocked
his enclosed pasture to such an extent last
Fall that he was compelled to turn great
many out on the range again, although be
sent 1000 head to Kansas, and slaughtered
1000 head more for their hides and tallow.
He disposes annually of about 8 900 head of
cattle, either by sale or slaughter, notwith-
standing which his stock is always steadily
on the increase. He has recently purchased
another ranch in Cameron County, on
which he has 10000 head more of cattle,
and attached to which are about, 10000
acres of land. He is making extensive ex-
periments in the way of improvement on
the stock of the State, having imported fol
his own use great many head of the finest
specimens of Kentucky cattle to intermi1
with the native grades" These expert
ments arepraiseworthy, and well merit the
appreciation of the State. -..----.s

The Sailor in Church.

A celebrated commodore in the American
navy having few hours to spend in port
where he was unacquainted, concluded on
attending religious meeting, and for this
purpose, taking with him his fayorite SER
want, he started for the church.
CHOW mind" said he to Jack, as they
were going in, "don't you say word. No
one speaks there but the minister
A seat was provided for the commodore,
and Jack was invited to- take seat By the
deacon. The minister was giving out a
hymn, and it fell to the deacon lot to repeat
the hymn for the singers. No sooner had
he risen than Jack, pluckingi the deacon s
coat, whispered in his ear.
''You'd better be STILL I had my orders
afore [ came here, so you'd better be STILL
The deacon proceeded to read, and Jack
repeated his admonition, but all to no pur-
pose. He had got out the first two lines and
all the members of the meeting were
engaged in singing, when the poor tar
driven to desperation at seeing the commo-
dore's orders disobeyed, turning to the dea-
con and rolling up his sleeves. he exclaimed /:
''You were the beginning of this ere row
and SILVER my timbers if you don't Pay for
it," and he hammered away, first or one
side then on the other, till the whole scene
became a powerful illustration of the church

An Unnatural Mother.

stSome cows are so FESTIVE and difficult to
milk, that the herdsman has to give them a
calf to lick meanwhile But for this device,
not single drop of milk could be obtained
from them. One day Lama herdsman,
who lived in the same house with ourselves,
came with long, dismal face, to announce
that his COW had cdlved during the night,
and that, unfortunately, the calf was dying.
1t died in the course of the day. The Lama
forthwith skinned the poor beast, and stuffed
it with hay. When the operation was COM
plete, the hay-calf had neither feet nor head.
The next morning, when the herdsman
issued forth to milk his COWS, he had his
pail under one arm and the hay-calf under
the other. His first proceeding was to put
the hay-calf down before the cow. He then
turned to milk the COW herself. The mamma
at first opened enormous eyes at her beloved
infant; by degrees she stopped her head to-
ward it, then smelt at it, sneezed three or
four times, and at last proceeded to lick it
with the most delightful tenderness. A few
days afterward, an absurd incident occurred ::
By dint Of caressing and licking her little
calf. the tender parent one fine morning un-
ripped it; the hay issued from within, and
the cow, manifesting not the slightest sur
prise nor agitation, proceeded TRANQUILITY to
deyour the unexpected proyender." The
last touch entirely paints the brute. She
has recognized her offspring by the smell
chiefly, and, never having heard of anatomy,
is not surprised when the internal organs
are found to consist simply of hay. And
why not eat the hay?

A Frenchman, : .c looking at q number
of vessels, exclaimed, ''See what flock of
ships," He was told that flock of ships
was called feet, but that feet of sheep
was called flock. To assist him in master
ing the intricacies of the English language,
he was told that flock of girls was called a
bevy, that bevy Of wolves is called pack.
but that pack of cards is never called a
bevy, though a pack Of thieves is called a
gang, and gang of angels is called host.
while host of porpoises is termed shoal.
He was told that host of oxen is termed a
herd, and herd of children is called a troop,
and troop of partridges is termed coyey.
and covey of beauty is called a galaxy, and
a galaxy of rufhans is called horde, and a
horde of rubbish is called heap, and heap
of bullocks is called drove, and drove of
blackguards is called a mob. and a mob of
whales is called school, and school of

gregation of engineers is called a corps, and

band of locusts is called a crowd. and a
crowd of gentlefolks is called the elite. The

Little Georges Trouble.

Aunt Libby patted me on the head the
other day, and said
George, my boy, this is the happiest
part of your life"
l guess Aunt Libby don't know much. l
guess she never worked week to make a
kite, ard the first time she went to fly it got
the tail hitched in tall tree, whose owner
wouldn't let her climb up to disentangle it.
l guess she never broke one of the runners
of her sleigh some Saturday afternoon when
it was prime coasting. l guess she never
had to give her biggest marbles to a great,
lubberly boy, because he would thrash her
if she didn't. I guess she never had him
twitch off her best cap, and toss it into a
mud-puddle. guess she never had to give
up her humming-top to quiet the baby,
and have the paint all sucked Off I guess
she never saved all her pennies whole win
ter to buy trumpet, and then was told she
must not blow it, because it would make
noise! No; Aunt Libby don't know much.
How could she She never was boy!

Another Somnambulist.

We protest against somnambulists. Did
any one ever hear that one of these unfor-
tunates performed good action? Usually,
their career is one of evil. In proof COMES
an incident from the South, concerning a
newly married couple who declared that
their house was entered night after night,
silver, clothes, etc., stolen, chloroform adj
ministered to the inmates, and a copious
supply of light-Yood and kerosene found in
some portion Of the house nearly every
morning. Private watchmen were employed
to watch the premises, and two young men
spent almost every night in walking around
the house, resembling two movable armor-
les, but all to no purpose. Fiveor six times
during the night the young married man
would suddenly rise up in bed and fire, his
pistols in rapid succession toward window,
and break the glass into atoms, while his
wife would scream at the top of her voice
and arouse the neighbors. This state of af-
fairs continued for two or three weeks, at
the end of which time several mysterious
robberies had been made-no one could tell
how the burglar got into the house-and all
the glass was shot out of the window, and
the blinds were riddled with pistol balls.
Investigation proved that the newly married
man was the robber and would-be incendiai-
ist-alsoa somnambulist. Do not most
ghost stories arise from causes like this?

The Extent Of the Black Hills.

The Black Hills do not cover an area much
longer than one.half of Massachusetts,. A
line drawn directly through from North to
South would not measure more than one
hundred miles; another line from East to
West would be less than eighty. The sides
of that triangle l alluded to do not measure
more than forty miles; and the majority of
the intervening territory is wooded hills.
The best way of entering the Hills, if you
ever want to go to the gold fields, my reader,
is to come here, to Bear Butte, and follow
Clusters trail. 1t took him long time to
find way out, and it will take you longer
to find way in, if you attempt it in this
region. Another entrance can be made at
Inyan Kara, at the Southwest, if you start
from the Union Pacific Railroad, and you
will find gold almost from the very start
Gypsum will come first, then mica, then
the velvet valleys with their golden lining
These two courses are the most feasible, but,
of course, trails may possibly be made else
where. The extreme Southern ranges, the
ranges of the East and Northwest, are al
most impossible because of the steep de-
cliyities and the abruptness of the foot
hills. 9s1a r taeni r .tliia.t

A Blunder.

Another fatal blunder by drug-clerk is
reported. A man who had discussion
about family matters with his wife, and
came out second best, threatened to commit
suicide, and went out to drug store and
asked for twenty-five cents worth of strych-
nine. The ignorant drug-clerk, instead of
putting up poison, gave him some harmless
drug in mistake, blunderingly labelled it
''strychnine The man took it home,
gulped it down in the presence of his wife,
and then threw himself on the lounge to die.
His wife, instead Of running for physician
and stomach-pump, waited until she
thought he was dead, and then commenced
to rifle his pockets for his loose change. He
was on his feet in an instant, and instead Of
dying he made it very lively for his better
half for about ten minutes: and then he
threatened to get shotgun and shoot the
drug-clerk; and his wife said if he didn't
she would. And now discord and such
things dwell in that house, all on account Of
laundering drug-clerk.
