the correctness of some of the following
statements of a medical practitioner
In some respects chloral is quite distinct

From morning till night,

And this is your right,
Because-yon're woman.
Don't even aspire,

To anything higher
Than cooking dinner
When you're-only woman.
All, yes; one more right

The September Atlantic.

A notable paper in the Atlantic
Monthly for September is John
Fskes "Koshcher, the Deathless; OF,
The Diffusion of Fairy Tales" There
are articles on Housekeeping Here
AFTER" by J. V. Sears; "The Katrina
Saga" by H. H.; "The Dramas of the
Elder Dumas" by J. Brander Mat
thews: "The Attempt on the Presi-
dents Life" by E. L, Godkin, and
reviews of several books. ''The Flu
ture of Harvard Divinity School,
by VIM. Chauucey Langdon, is about
as thrillingly interesting to the gen
eral readers as any subject we'll
could be. A few more articles like
this will convince the public outside
of Harvard and Boston that the
new editor of the Atlantic is either
hampered by his publishers or cares
to ca,er to only very limited Sec
ton of readers. There is one fair
poem in the number; the other
doesn't rise above the average news
paper standard of jingle. 1t is not
improved by the attachment of DR..
0. W. Holmes, name. DR.. Holmes,
as we all know, is one of the best of
our loved poets, but this does not ex-
cuse the poor performance which he
has in this months Atlantic Post
Prendial,' which he read before the
Phi Beta Kappa Society, may have
answered the purpose for which it
was written we'll enough, but to pub
lish it in a magazine of the Atlantic S
character is an injustice both to the
author and to the reader, who buys
his periodicals with the expectation
of getting something worth reading.

GREAT anxiety was manifested
again yesterday owing to the new
development IN the Presidents case.
The depth to which the flexible tube
used for cleansing purposes pene~
trated, shows the ghastly character
of the terrible wound. It was an
unexpected and surprising revela~
ton, which tends to shake public
confidence IN the attending surgeons
again. From reports made in the
newspapers, we had been led to be-
lleve that the wound had healed
from the inside up to within three
or four inches from the opening.
According to DR.. Boynton, an in
terview with whom is published, nc
alarm is felt by the surgeons
at this. But with such a wound tc
yet act, a drain upon the patients
vitality, which must be well nigl
exhausted, the gravity of the situa
ton appears to US as increased.
The latest official bulletin, how
ever, is reassuring. He passed the
day quietly, and was able to take
additional liquid nourishment, in
Guiding beef steak juice, without
unpleasant results. What is wanted
no" Is to keep up his vitality, upon
winch such heavy draughts are be-
ing made. His condition was not
materially different from the day
previous.
