THE PREsIDENT.-The anxiety and de-
preston caused by the relaps of Saturday
and high pulse and feverish condition OF
President Garfield on Sunday, has again
been replaced by more hopeful feeling
as his condition has been improved. A
trouble with his right lung indicating a
probable abscess gave great alarm, but
happily this now seems under proper con-
troll with prospects that nothing serious
NAV come of it. There is still some doubt
as to the nature and extent of the affec-
ton of the lung, and it is evident that the
development of this feature of the case
will be watched with anxiety. But thus
far the progress has been toward ameliora-
ton and not toward aggravatiOn of the
symptoms. 1t is also to be borne in mind
that, even if this should prove to be
troublesome abscess resulting from blood
poisoning, the President has unquestion-
ably gained in vitality since leaving
Washington, and the struggle would not
necessarily be hopeless. In all other re-
spects the reports are cheeeing. Suppura-
ton has ceased in the parotid gland,
which is now pronounced practically
well. The wound is believed to have
healed to within nine inches of the open
inc, and seems to show smaller area
daily. The pulse is firmer as well as
slower. The two Cabinet members who
saw the President on Monday were agree
ably surprised at his appearance and man
ner, finding him with more life and vigor
if such word may be used of very
sick man-than they had expected. Yes
terday the President sat in Il reclining
chair for half hour and enjoyed it with
out fatigue. The reports to-day are still
more favorable. There is reason to hope
that the crisis has passed, and that q slow
but steady recovery may now be expected.
If he had strength to rally from the fatigue
of trying journey, with all the excite
ment which no one but the sufferer him
self could fully appreciate, and if he had
still endurance to bear the almost un-
precedented heat which met him at the
seaside, there is good ground for hope that
the wound and the consequent corruption
of blood have done their worst. The Ma
tion will watch and pray and hope. The
bulletin from Long Branch at 8 A. NJ, this
morning says: "The President passed a
comfortable night, sleeping sufficiently.
He is bright and has taken fruits and his
first meal with relish. Pulse 100, TEN
perature SO, Respiration 19.''

Phosphate Analyses,

DEAR TIMES The Law passed at the
last session of the Legislature providing
for the Analysis and classification of PhOs-
pilates manufactured and sold in the State
has, by fixing the chemical value of the
ingredients, namely, Ammonia % cts. per
H., Available Phosphoric Acid 12I cts and
Potash at cts, done almost as much to
mystlfy, as 1t has to enlighten the buVer.
The question is often asked ''why South
Carolina Rock costing $25 per ton should
show, by analysis, to be worth as much as
ton of Bone costing $40 per ton?"
From a report made to the State Board
OF Agriculture of Pennsylvania by DR.. F.
A. Genth, State chemist, find that from
samples of Bone analyzed by him and pub
lished by said Board the following results,
which, at the request of several friends, l
send you for publication. | think our
friends, the manufacturers of Phosphates,
will acknowledge the authority to be good,
and the calculation fair one.
The average of the samples of Bone
analysed yield,
Ammonia 4.5O per ct.--9O lbs. per ton.
Phos. Acid 22.O6 " 40 - Z" .
The present value of Ammonia, taking
the sulphate as the test, is 20 cts. per fb.
According to the above we then have, as
the commercial value of ton of Bone.
Ammonia 80 lbs. (G 90 cts.-18.0O
Phos. Acid InsOl 44O " !" ) " 30. 90
As the value of Bone $4,000

thority, yields an average of

it shows about the value and cost of a tor

As in the above no allowance is made
for mixing, bagging, &C., think it will bt
conceded that the values are not too low
AS 20 TBS. is one per cent of ton, it is IN
easy matter for each buyer to make the
calculations from the analysis of his Phos

value.

rHR December W1pE AWAKE is o,

THE December WIDE AWAKE is out
with gay little operetta for the young
folks, which they will welcome for their
Christmas entertainments. 1t is entitled
"Prince Puss-in-Boots," and all the per-
formers represent cats. and are clad in
the most bewitching furry costumes.
A more dainty and laugh-provoking en-
tertainment could not well be desired.
The number opens with the best short
story of the year, "Rob's Father" by
Eleanor Putnam, with five spirited il
lustrations by Merrill. Another beauti-
ful full-page engraving accompanies
"The Baby's Escapade" "How Alice
Spent Twenty-Five Dollars" by Jenny
Burr, has charming picture of "Alice"
and is good story for everybody.
"Hitty's Last School," will be enjoyed
by all those interested in the early days
of Boston. The Serials, "Polly Cologne
"Sharoa," and Having His Own Way"
finish satisfactorily, and leave the reader
wishing for three more az good stories.
A very enjoyable poem is "Griselda In
Pound" by Margaret j. Preston. The
readings for the C. Y. F. r. q. are well
worth while the attention of young
folks everywhere; and it is to be hoped
that many of our young people will join
the Reading Union before the Course of
1882 is completed.

Considerable grumbling is INDUCED in

the officers of the 4. V. road abandoning
our station as stopping place OF

this vicinity gave literally of both labor
and money and is not to be wondered at
that they feel little sore at being left
in the cold. We think the officers will
see their mistake in this arrangement
and consent 10 give US benefit of all
the trains.

CONGRESS.

The Forty-Seventh Congress of the
United States met on Monday. The Sem
ate, without any unusual ceremonies.
proceeded directly to business. Among
bills introduced were those to retire
trade dollars and recoin them into stan
dards; to incorporate the Garfield Me-
mortal Hospital; TO place Gen. Grant on
the army retired list; to provide for a
special committee to consider the mode
of voting for President and Vice Presi-
dent, and to provide for partial revis-
ion of the patent laws for the protection
of innocent purchasers and users of pat
ented articles. A resolution to contin-
ue over the present committees was laid
on the table, to give the presiding officer
an opportunity 10 revise it. At a subse-
quent caucus Of Republican Senators it
was resolved to support the resolution
regarding committees. Nothing was
said about Senate officers.
The House organized and elected all the
officers nominated by the Republican
caucus. Speaker Keifer was conducted
to the chair by Messrs. Hiscock and
Randall, and read a short speech. A
committee was appointed to inform the
President and the Senate that the House
was organized and that body adjourned.
