swing is entirely secured before ventur-

tion, and would not excite especial re-
mark, but the Presidents symptoms
are so closely watched from day to day,
and almost from hour to hour, by the
whole country, that an unfavorable
change, however slight, seems to have
greater significance than really at
taches TO it, and is liable, in the alb

hension. 1t is proper, therefore, to say,
by way of comment upon tO-nights Off
cial bulletin, that the facts therein
stated give no uheasiness to the attend

In the fever, but it arises from known
causes, and is undoubtedly transient in
it's character. The reasons assigned for
it are as follows: The President, during
the past three days, and more especial
ly to-day, has taken a largely increased
quantity of solid food" His stomach is
still sensitive, and manitests its sensi-
tiveness when in any way overtaxed by
symptoms of disturbance. Such was
the case o-day, and this gastric trouble
is thought to have been largely instru-
m ,ntal in aggravating the febrile symp.

Southern Manufacture OF Cotton.

In the past ten years the South has
more than doubled the amount of cotton
manufactured within her borders.
In 1870. there were used 45,O32, $50
pounds of cotton; in 1880, 1O1 ,O37 ,256
pounds. In 1870, there were 1902
looms and 4l6, 1888 spindles running; in
1880, 15,222 looms and ia, O7s spindles.
This array Of figures hardly indicates
fairly the progress that the South will
make in the next ten years, for the rea-
son that the factories in which these
spindles are turned are experiments in
most of the localities in which they are
placed. It's the invariable rule that
when factory is built in any city or
country it is easier TO raise the capital
for subsequent enterprise than for the
first One. At Augusta, Ga, for instance,
where the manufacture of cloth has been
demonstrated q success, the progress is
remarkable. In the past two years two

The Largest Elevator in the World.

The new elevator built by. David
Bows & Co., in Brooklyn, is said to be
the largest in the country, and proba-
bly, the largest in the world. It is 100
feet front upon Columbia street, and
extends thence 1900 feet to the river,
900 feet being occupied by the main
building, which is of brick, and 600
feet by frame extension, which is
sheathed with tin. The frame building
is As feet high, and has tower in the
center 100 feet high from the wharf
level. The brick building is IS feet
high, and has an elevator tower in the
northeast portion 100 feet high. Three
towers rise from the center line of the
main building, about 100 feet from each
other. Each tower is IT'S feet high.
Solid brick walls divide the main build
ing into nine apartments closed to each
other, except where there are openings
for the betting to pass through. These
walls form bulwark againt fire, as the
holes can be closed by dropping cast
iron door over them, and if the fire
should be so fierce as to cut off access
to these doors they are so arranged that
the ropes may be burned quickly, thus
permitting them to drop of their own
weight. An electric fire and burglar
alarm is furnished for the building. =.
The machinery in the elevator can
take grain at the rate of 5000 bushels
an hour from tho barges or vessels at
the pier. The grain is elevated, sifted
and famed, weighed, stored, put in
bins, and then transferred to vessels at
the pier. There is nearly a mile of
wire cable used to transfer the steam
power, and about five miles of betting,
called conveyers, carry the grain up
with railroad speed. These conveyers
travel at the rate of 600 feet minute,
and carry to its destination q bushels
of grain a minute. No shoveling is
necessary.
