juice, and a little coffee. His strength is dali

prudent to allow. Since last night at this

lebrile rise was to-day trifling and subsidized
before 8 O'Clock. Since That hour the patient
has slept most of the time and is asleep now
with every prospect OF having a night of quiet
and refreshing rest. In the opinion OF the
surgeons the President is better and stronger
to-day than at any time heretofore. DR.. Ag-

patient Continues to take increased quantities
of nourishlnent, and is daily gaining in

The merit of generosity lies in its lnIeili-
gence. With some people generosity is a
vice, it'll others an unknown virtue.
Responsibility is the economy of all things,
whether it be OF words or actions. 1t pre-
vents Islander and extravaganza in business.
Thieves reap their largest profits among
crowds, and people are sure TO lose their
political rights When they get into parties.
People who think for themselves are best
able to think for others. One who neglects
his own affairs is apt Lotreat n~egligently those
of other peoples.
The rights of citizenship are best protected
by the citizen himself. No remedy for po-
litical wrongs will be found in delegating the
powers and duties Of the individual to a
clique it will come only from a withdrawal
of the powers already delegated.

second heat of til. 2:2l class and moved up a
little. The spectators greeted her heartily
and were eager for a display of her wonder-
full speed. Owing to a strong wind prevail
ing, it was decided to postpone the trial until
later in the day. Maud S. at length. appear
ed tor the trial Of speed. AT first heat On the
first approach to the wire Baine gave the nod
and word was given. Maud made a tine
burst of speed and went to the three-quarter
pole in the remal kable time of 1853. Here
she broke badly and during the time she was
off her feet lost 50 much ground that 49, sec
pnds were spent on the lasl quarter. She
made the first quarter i'll 334t half in l:04a
three-quarters in 1850 and passed under the
wire III 2:l5. At the second heat tue wind
was very strong, having increased rather since
the mare first appeared on the course. Maud
S. went away with a rush on he" first attempt
but the ill-timed playing of the band caused
her to lose her head and break so seriously
that Baine turned her back at the quarter
pole. On the second attempt she went off in
fine style and went the entire course without
a skip, her running mate being kept close to
her wheel all around. Time, lst quarter, 33 J:

The performance elected the greatest admira'

direction of Vanderbilt, who had to leave al

and he thought it best not to try another
heat. BY 6 the wind snbsided and had the
mare then come ON the track there is little
doubt she would have beaten her cwn rec

booked for Rochester in August under the
same conditions. Pools on first heat were
