HOBART PAsHA, whose name has fig
ured so much of late in the French
Journals, is, us is well known, an Eng
hman, a son of the Earl of Bucking-
ham, and descendant of John Hamp-
den. 1t is not So well known, however,
that he played part in the civil war
in this country, having, while in COM
mand of a vessel called the Don, sew
eral times run the blockade of ports in
possession of the rebels.

CONSIDERABLE anxiety is felt at the
white house relative to the effects
which may be produced on the presi-
dent 10y the Potomac flats directly
south Of the grounds surrounding the
mansion. The miasma which arises
from the decayed vegetation has begun
making itself felt on the attaches of
the executive office. Three cases of
malarial fever have already developed
among them, and the persons attacked
we're Obliged to go home.

The Presidential Patient.
WASHINGTON.

The recent unfavorable symptoms in
the presidents case, caused nearly as
much excitement and anxiety as when
the news first came of the shooting.
Although not sinking as low, nor being
given UP by the physicians, as was the
case at first, yet the condition Of the
patient was such as to cause attending
physicians great alarm so much so as
to telegraph for the immediate coming
of the consulting surgeons, DR.. Hamil-
ton of New York, and DR.. Agnew of
Philadelphia. Special trains were fur
nished these men, who fastened to the
white house with all possible speed,
The cause of alarmswas the sudden APP
pearance in the patient of what the
doctors term rigor, attended with chills,
and the almost complete stoppage of
flow from the wound. 1t was decided
that an abscess which had formed be-
low the opening of the wound and
about two inches from the surface of
the skin, must be opened, and the
trained hand of DIR. Agnew guided the
lance to the proper place. The president
experienced immediate relief, and since
that time has continued to improve, as
the following bulletins will show.

If the next century makes as much
progress as the past, there s no telling
what may be seen at the second cen
tennial anniversary of this Republics
birth. Already we hear of railroad
trains rua by compressed air, and by
electricity, and a sanguine scientist
predicts that within twenty years steam
will be obsolete as a motive power
Fifty years from now the telegraph
NAV be "a cumbersome and awkward
means of transmitting, information
and railroad cars and steamships may
be abandoned as too slow and expen-

wound, after the morning bulletin was
issued, displaced spectrum of the
broken rib about half an inch long

UNDER the administration of her
young King Spain is prospecting, and
great progress is being made in every
direction. Although naturally the
richest country in Europe, for many
years, owing to the bad management
of her finances and domestic revolu-
tons and outbreaks, Spain has been
comparatively the poorest, and at one
time her credit was so low that she
ould not borrow dollar anywhere.
Now her financial condition is wonder
fully improved, and the development
of her resources Is adding wealth to
the state as well as to the people.

The best writer's of the European

as one cause Of the large prosperity
of the United States. The condi-
ton o. the English and French
manufacturers is not enviable, and
some OF the most sagacious are con-
templating removal o. both ma
chinery and skilled workmen to the
United States. A large manufac-
turer has recently been in Chicago
and selected the site for An extensive
factory. and at no distant date the

wool is here, and nothing is lacking
to make the United States the

of capitalists known as the "Erlan-

miles of railroad in Alabama, Missis-

pose is TO establish a connection, via
Shreveport, with the great Texas
system, and build an airline from
Meridian, Miss, 10 New Orleans.
This will add oS2 miles to the track

J0hE Chinamau,
HOW HE LEAVES HIS NATIVE LAND
TO COME TO AMERICA.

While in Hong Kong, writes COR
respondent, accepted the invitation
of Consul Mosby to visit the steam
ship Gaelic and see how Cinnamon
were shipped to the United States.
There were 1853 men and one woman.
The Cinnamon were all on deck with
rope stretched around them. At q
desk near by were three officers, the
doctor, the harbormaster and the
United States Consul These China
men had all bought their tickets,
but, unless they could pass the doe
tors inspection, the narbormaster
would not stamp their ticket, and,
if the harbormaster would not stamp
their ticket, the United States Con.
sui would not stamp their ticket,
and, if the Consul did not stamp their
ticket, the Mail Company would not
take it. These Cinnamon had their
clothes uubuttoned and laid of down
to their waists. The doctor exam
ined every one, honestly and faith
fully, and did not object to single
one. Every one was in a good state
of health. On the doctors certii-
cate the harbormaster stamps the
ticket, and on his certificate the
American Consul also stamps the
ticket, and on his stamp the Cap
tain takes it.
Before a woman can be shipped,
she has to go down to the To w all
hospital and have stamped on her
arm certificate that she was u
proper person to come to America.
All the precautions that laws have
fixed, as far as regards the eXamina-
ton of Cinnamon, are honestly car
ried out under the present admins
tration, or were on that trip. l was
anxious Of seeing some evidence of
careless manner of doing it. !
must say they did I. carefully.
While these Chinam,I were all in
the string, | came in and looked at
them, One of them said: "Hallo,
mister, sable your builder. He
marry up in SIaclamento.' said,
"John, what you know?' He said,
81 live in Slaclamento eight years;
l make $4,000; | come home; l
catchee two wives; / lost all: now l
go back again" l said, "Kearney
will catch you and hang YOU" He
said, ooh, no; me go aud do kear-
ney's washing" Most OF them
were Chinese who were returning
to the United States. They under
stood the agitation of the San Fran
cisco sand lot, and they hugely en-
joyed the joke.
