Jennie ORAMER.

b, She had those qualities that made her
intensely attractive to sensual young men, She
was the 1.-THE, graceful ugress Of the sweltoring
Jungle OF depraved imaginations. The Gloss of
young men OF whom am speaking looked upon
her with bated breath and their hearts in their
mouths as she passed them with mook-innocent
glance from the corner of her eye. With oduca-
tonond culture she would have been society
belle, for nature had done good deal for her, but
had leh the best part undone Two words would
picture her pretty well-an insipid Gwendolyn.
I'll tell you what she was; she was picnicker. IL
was her delight 10 rig herself up-never in the
best of taste, but jaunty and coquettsh not
" loud and brazen at all but rather "rakish -
and seek large crowds where she could read In
mems faces their admiration for her She liked
frolic with gay young chaps with plenty of money,
and she would sell little mouthfuls of kisses and
small liberties and carcsses for pretty ring or a
pair Of gloves. Was she innocent2 Yes, except
as above stated. Students and counter Jumpers
ana dandiprates have been after her for several
years, but for all their pains, moonlight drives,
concert tickets, gloves, ribbons, md rings they
could boast OF nothing but chance TO pinch her
car or inhale her sweet breath. Or not much more.
She was frivolous, and vapid, and shallow, and
perhaps would have gone to the bad in time, but
up to the current month she had been stainless It
is sbelieved-New Haven Correspondence Troy Times.

The Other tribune" Idiot.

The fact that the Republican State Cen
trail Committee of New York, which met wednes-
day adjourned without having passed resolutions
in reference to the Presidents condition, has been
a subject of considerable comment. Some persons
hostility, but 1t is difficult to imagine that the fol-
lowers Of Mr. Conkling are so lost to all sense of
patriotism and good feeling. Chicago Tribune We
presumed some fried idiot would say something of
this sort. But what Of the fourteen members of
the committee not followers Of Mr.. Conkling"
but who were led by Collector Robertson? We're
they lost to "all sense of patriotism and good feel
ing?" Surely ifthere was any man under obligations
to President Garfield 1t was William II. Robertson,
but 1t did not occur to him to offer any resolution
of sympathy, although he was member of the
committee and present at the meeting. -Indidndp-

The Presidents Condition.

The bulletins from Long Branch show
that, while the Presidents journey greatly
taxed his low vitality, yet rest was able to
restore him the next morning to as good
a condition as the day before he left.
The high temperature Of last night is
alarming or not as it shall be found to
proceed from the bad condition Of the
wound or only from the fatigue not yet
quite compensated by rest and sea air.
The land breeze and intense heat at Long
Branch have been most unfortunate.
The statement that the cathctcr went
twelve inches into the wound yesterday,
instead of but eleven, as at the last pre-
vious account, shows that the healing
process has not progressed as had
been hoped. The surgeons thought that
the obstruction TO the catheter at a point
an inch and half short of the point once
reached indicated granulation. This OBJ
structionisreported as having been passed
an inch by the tube yesterday. This in
dicates an unascertained condition of the
bottom of the wound, and may be con.
nected with the high temperature.

Tho EnnI,a pnrndisc.

If one were to collect together all the |
dispatches, interviews, narratives, and
other matter which has been printed |
since the President was wounded it would
be found TO consist of one part sense and
nine hundred and ninety-nine parts
windy writing of newspaper apprentices
and silly horn-blowing on the part of
weak and vain parasites. A few intelli-
gent and reasonable beings Immediately
connected with the Presidents house
hold and with his political family have
carefully, modestly, and fai thfully COM
municated to the public through the press
from day to day all that it was deemed
wise for the public to know. The official
bulletins it is not fair to criticize. They
have been a part of the treatment, as
physicians statements always are. If
they have at times been unnecessarily
misleading or sclf-contradictory, it may
have been because the surgeons them
selves were sometimes too much eX-
hausted or driven to carefully weigh the
words they used.
We have hardly been able to hear the
words of reliable informants because of
the din of those who would push to the
front with their wholly useless and dis
gusting chatter. The press is largely re-
sponsible for this. Never before has it
descended so low as of late. Every tramp
and sucker has found the milliou-tongued
press ready to voice his advertisement of
himself to gaping world. "Majors"
and "iedges" not from Arkansas have
discoursed of the patient whom
they had not seen as though each was
the only original person admitted to the
sick room outside Of the surgeons. Cen
eral Swain and Colonel Rockwell have
doubtless been disgusted at reports ofpre-
tended conversations between them and
the President which originated wholly
in the gin-stirred imagination or in the
love of the ridiculous of some irrepressible
helper on newspaper There has been
more soft and sickcning gush loaded into
the press than would serve for hun
dred volumes like Tupper's "Proverbial
Philosophy " and ton of I. S. Arthur's
romances, and more of the melo-dramatic
and horrible than could have been fur
nished by George Lippard and
Ned Buntline combined. The corre-
spondents have deemed quantity the
desideratum, and they have readily
lent hand TO the Forcible Eeebles
who have struggled for .notoriety by at
taching themselves to the great event.
No names need be mentioned That has
been fully attended to already. The gem
erations yet unborn will read what this or
that insignificant person said he thought
of the Presidents chances, and will look
in vain in the list of subsequent Presi-
dents for the name of one Of these much
heralded individuals.
Ifnow we could have an occasional grain
of wheat in all this chat, if there could
be serious dealing with the awful situa-
ton and less drivel about untmportant
persons and their watery remarks, it
would be an inexpressible relief.

A storm OF lightning in the south Pacific.

The German war-schooner Nautilus,
from Tahiti, reports having experienced n very
tempestuous voyage During the passage the ves-
turbdhce oh the nth ~ iraytne wnoi6 heavens.
In the afternoon of that day, appeared enveloped
in black, inky clouds, making It so dark that the
crew could scarcely see the length of the ship.
The thunder became deafening and the lightning
nearly binding. Those on board expected to be
struck each moment with bolt as the lightning
was striking the water all round the vessel, which
made grand and most singular sight. The con-
tinuous streaks Of fork lightning gave the vessel
the appearance of being in flames in a dozen dif
ferent places at once. In several instances bolts
struck the water within radius OF twenty to forty
yards of the vessel. During the storm very lttl,
rain fell and the sea was almost cam.-SJdnsp
