their Governor because he Is seldom

can be sure of place as U. s. Senator.

A Cog Railroad.

The Sierra Lumber & Flume Com
pany has railroad 1000 feet long from
the shore of Lake Bigler to the mouth
of the tunnel through the eastern sum-
nit. The Reno Gazette says its cars
are hauled up by wire cable, but it is
found that the clutch are not certain,
and several cars have run away and
been wrecked. To prevent this the
company is putting in cogs and rachets
in the middle of the track the entire
distance. The cogs are four inches
apart, and the dog or rachel will trail
behind the car, dropping against the
cogs all the time. So if car gets
loose it can only drop four inches.

Accident to an Oniccr.

There seems to be fatality existent be-
tween Officer Breen and horses. 1t was but
Il short time ago that he narrowly escaped
death by reason of his fiery, Unframed steed
running away with him. IL was only last
Saturday that he surpassed all Of the Vir
ginia detectives and police by capturing the
boss horsc-thief and jail-breaker of the Old
Dominion, Joe Walker, and it was only
yesterday that while watering his horse
that animal became seized with an insane
idea to visit the Smithsonian building and
dashed in that direction from Louisiana
avenue.
The negro boy who was watering Officer
Brcen's horse had taken the bit from the
animals mouth, and it was just ut that
perilous point that the horse decided to en-
gage in the study of natural history and
edo " the Smithsonian. The officer was un-
able to control the steed, and at break
neck pace was carried along and ~ they
reached the entrance near the old canal the
animal ran against one of the old pillars,
and, fracturing its skull, fell, hurting officer
Brccn to the ground and striking him sense
less. 1t was at first supposed that both the
horse and the policeman were killed, but,
fortunately, neither are in danger Of death.
The horses head has been trepanned, and
the veterinary surgeon is of the opinion that
=. it will certainly recover. Officer Brcen was
stunned, but no bones were broken, and he
is on deck to-day.

VERY HOPEFUL.


DIR. Bliss, at 215p. IN. says the Presidents
chances for recovery are more than even
and if he progressed favoraby until Mon
day next the great danger will be passed.
DIR. Bliss further stated that the
only things they have to fear now are Sec
ondary hemorrhages and pynmia, and he
said If we have the correct idea of the course
of the ball there is no danger of secondary
inflammation. He is inclined to the belief
that the ball entered on a level, struck n
rib, and detected downward, passing
anterior wall of the stomach. There is very
little discharge from the wound, and the
adhesion is perfect. There is slight ex-
acerbation toward night, but not at all
alarming. The President has made most
remarkable journey in this case. DR.. Bliss
says they don't fear an abscess near so much
rs pyOemia that is blood poisoning.

APPEALS TO HEAVEN,
A Circular Letter TO the Catholic
Clergy Ordering Prayers for the
President

The Most Rev. James Gibbons Arch
bishop of Baltimore, has sent the following
letter to the clergy of his archdiocese, which
includes the District of Columbia:
ARcHBIsHoP's House, BALTIMORE,
July 8, 1881.
REV. AND DEAR SIR: You in common
with all others have heard with amazement
and horror of the late attempted assassina-
ton of His Excellcncy the President of the
United States. 1t Is scarcely possible to
imagine deed more appalling to men or
more iniquitous before God for if 1t is such
n crime to STAY even n private citizen, what
an enormity is it to attempt the death of
one who, while representing the whole
Nation, is also, as to matters TEN.
poral. the highest vicercgcnt of God
himself in the land, and the act of the
assassin is the more hcinous since he had
neither q private grievance to avenge nor
the scmblance of public wrong to redress,
and our detestation of the wretch who has
stricken down our head is yet more in
creased when we add to the official dignity
of the sufferer his accessibility and ailabil-
ity to all and his committing, like all his
predecessors, his personal safety entirely to
the good will and good sense of those over
whom he prcsides. Well may we stand
aghast when in this crime and in another
like crime perpetrated few months ago,
we see the mischief of which xDglc indi-
vidual is capable when he has once ceased
to fear God, to value man, or to dread the
consequences of giving free scope to his own
passion In the fact, then, of this most
hideous deed, we are called upon to express
at once our loathing of the crime and our
deep sympathy with him whom this crime
has placed in such great suffring and such inn
minent peril, for while the Catholic Church
is happily above all our parties, and is far
from the wish to take to herself the deci-
sion Of the very transient, and, as a rule, not
very momcntous questions as to which of
these parties are ut issue, yet none moro
than the Catholic Church inculcatcs respect
for every duly constituted authority, or
more reprobatcs or threatens everything by
which such authority is assailed.
You will therefore, with all the power at
your command, urge our people to pray
during mass and other times for the re-
covery Of His Excellency, and on Sunday
next, should he then still survive, you will
say in his behalf before or after mass, and
together with all your people, the Litany of
the Saints, as ut once entreating God to
spare his life, and also as making an act Of
expiation for crime which appertains to
us as a Nation, and not only concerns, but
furnishes us all.
Very faithfully your servant in Christ,
JAMES Archbishop of Baltimore.

KEEP THE ROOM COOL.
An East Indian veteran Tells How
IN nA

TO the Editor of The Erening Critic:
DEAR SIR The time seems Opp0rtune for
reviving subject which / treated some
years ago in New York paper, but which
does not appear to have been considered of
any consequence by our people. America
is cmphatically the empire of science. In
genuity has been nearly exhausted i'll the
production of machinery for saving human
labor and contributing to human comfort.
We have hundred and one cOntrivances
for making our houses warm, from tho UNI
slightly and obtrusive stove to the lumber
ing Latrobe, but ventilation has been alto
gether disrcgardcd. Even the simple plan
of open window few inches below and as
many above is not deemed worth attention,
for in half of the houses the upper division
of the glass windows is Theoretically sealed.
Now that our beloved President is suffering
the torture of cruel wounds, aggravated by
the temperature of hot summer days and
nights, his medical advisers seem at a loss
to know how to moderate the heat of the
atmosphere which he breathes. Why not
at once suspend punket, the hood-swinging
fan which we use in India, and employ little
colorcd boys to pull it to and fro, relieving
each other at intervals? have seen the
happy continuance in operation in Wallack s
Theatre and several large stores in New
York, whore the punllet is worked by ma
chinery. There is no time now to introduce
complication into the silent, mournful White
House, but good punkct could be made
and suspended in few hours. A 3-inch
frame, ten feet long and two or three broad,
covered with sheeting, forms the punkct.
Suspend it to three screws or hooks in the
ceiling with ropes n yard and a-half in
length, attach another rope to the centre of
the lower bar of the frame, and let that rope
be passed through an aperture in one of the
bedroom doors or carried outside through
the Venetians. A boy continually pulling
the rope would produce fine and cOntin-
uous current of air. For nearly twenty
years of my life sat or slept under punkets
in India, and never felt inconvenience from
the warmth, even when the thermometer
was from 900 to 1909 in the shade. How
else could we survive the heat? Should
what / have suggested not be sufficiently
understood, just put carpenter into my
hands and l will undertake that in u few
hours the whole simple apparatus will be in
full swing, without disturbing the poor
patient. There must surely be in the Pat
emit Office variety of ventilatOrs and
thermo-antidotes, and it is a marvel to my
finite comprehension how SO practical and
ingenious people as those with whom
have the happiness to live have disregarded
their employment, supp0sing them to be
susceptible of application to the intended
purposes. j III. SIDDoNs

AMID THE enormous flood of writing tina

AMID THE enormous flood of writing that
is descending upon this devoted land like a
delugc, there is one little bit ofliterature
that has never been sufficiently cooked up,
or at least presented in form suited to the
public taste. 1t is the literary history of
cruditc New England. Scgments of Ply
mouth Rock and the MayfOwer have been
dished up, respectfully speaking al nauseun,,
but the thing still needed is condensed
history, or rather sort of family tree of
Yankee cleverness. The much-talked- of
litcrati have been in reality u very close
communion, the number of families of note
is not very large, and it has even been
daringly surmised that Ann Bradstreet, the
first New England authOress, can be shown
to be the very great grandmother Of ma
jority of the persons whose names are en-
titled to place in the encyclopaedia of
literature. In Boston, of course, everybody
knows who everybody else is, and just how
they are generally cousins, but the outside
barbarians have no opportunity of acquir-
ing this branch of useful information. Dry
asdust can render such topic awfully
awful by severe cou rse of footnotes, and q
pleasing" author can make the subject
entirely unintelligiblc by the convenient
assumption that the reader always under
stands exactly all points that he is too in
dolent to explain, but the theme, well
treated, would furnish matter for magazine
development that might be even more
eagerly welcomed by grateful public than
the celebrated notes upon the earliest Greek
play from the pen of some learned son of the
soil.

Washington Republican.
A representative of the Republican called
on Colonel Harry Rddlebcrger at the Ar
lington Hotel last evening, and asked him
IL he Ind seen the report in the Ereniag

Blaine on the situation in Virginia.
Said the Colonel: Il have seen the report
in the star and its comments, and there is
no foundation for either"
made out out of whole cloth, is it?"
yes, sir; | never thought of nor did
any ono suggest to me such an indicate
thing rs approaching Secretary Blaine or
any other member of the Presidents politi-
cal household on Virginia matters. | can
not understand how the star could attribute
such purpose TO those who are as sincerely
affected by the calamity rs any member of
its staff"
"Then your meeting with other Read
ulster leaders was purely accidental?" said
the Republican.
Precisely. As for Colonel Brady, met
him here and he called my attention to
the Star report. He told me he was here on
business connected with his office of col
lcctor at Norfolk. To my knowledge he
has been half-dozen times ut the

condition, and have not heard him speak

a PHILADELPHIA CRITIC has raised an
unexpected objection to the site chosen in
Paramount Park for a monument to Wash
ington. The fine position seems remark
ably well suited to the purpose, but it is
already unluckily known throughout the
whole vicinity as Georges Hill, and the
question is mOotcd whether foreign visitors
will not universally stigmatize the local
name as an intcntioned disrespcct to the
memory of the father of his country. A
Quaker brother and sister named George,
dying unmarried, presented the ground to
the city as site commencing an extended
view of Philadelphia. 1t had descended to
them by uninterrupted descent from the
earliest settlers, and has been most fittingly
known in honor of the family name as
Georges Hill. The coincidence in the
title thus furnishes the odd objection to a
site otherwise most admirably suited by it's
altitude and position for the display of a
monument

one on which he has been lying was found
to be too large and cumbersome, and a
smaller and narrower bcdstead, three-quar-
ter size has been substituted. 1t is much

find the President much easier to reach.
