WASHINGTON

Col. JOHN c. BURCH, secretary of the
Tn tied States senate, died at his residence
In W ashington, of heart disease.
TWELVE appointments as postmaster
await the presidents action, which is the
department caused by the assassination.
IT is denied, upon the authority of his
minister at Washington, that the king of
the Sandwich islands is attempting to sell
out his title to his country. He is travel
ing to induce emigration to Hawaii.
The presidents physicians have agreed
to submit to no more interviews and to
make no more public statements other
than those contained in the official bull
letlns. This course is caused by the fact
that what has been said to reporters has
been misrepresented.
The fact that the presidents wound is
freely discharging pus is considered a
healthy sign, and the fear that pyamia
had set in is allayed. DIR. Hamilton. the
eminent surgeon of New York, will re-
main with the patient now until he is out
of danger. DIR. Bliss has given his posi-
tive opinion that the president will re-
cover.
GUITEAU seems to be rather pleased than
otherwise with his present quarters. He is
afraid that if he should get outside the
prison walls he would be meted out
speedy justice. The other day when ask
ed to go down into the warden's office he
very reluctantly consented, fearing that it
was a ruse to get him into the peoples
hands. The cowardIy scoundrel vet ex-
presses a wish that the president may die.
THE presidents surgeons haze conclud-
ed that the flow of pus from the wound
was not sufficiently free. DR.. Bliss insert
ed his finger in the original wound and
prepared it TO receive a Larger drainage
pipe. He discovered two small splinters
of the rib, which he removed with pair
Of forceps. The patient then ook twelve
ounces of milk and the same quantity of
beef juice, and rested quietly.
THE examination made by the presi-
dents physicians during the psst few days
seem to have convinced them that the ball
did not penetrate the liver, taat it is not
located in the interior wall of the alb
domen, and that it did not PISS through
the abdominal cavity, but vent dow n
afterward after it struck til. rib and is
now located in the right iliic fossa, the
cavity between the point of the hip-bone
and the ribs which contain the smaller in
tGstines.
On the recommendation of Congressman
Jones, of Texas, Preident Hayes pardon
ed a notorious highway robber, named
Ham White, who had been sentenced to
life Imprisonment IN the West Virginia
penitentiary. From the day of his re-
lease White has been plundering the
mails in the soahwest He has finally
been Jailed in Clorai DO, and bids fair to
return to prison.

A Sun-Struck Cat.
St. LOuis-POst Disnatch.

The toughest heat story yet has come
to light on change to-day. Mr.. Maple
son, one Of the grain men, is RESPONSE
bic for its veracity. Mr.. Mapleson has
a cat of the Maltese variety which has
been suffering for the last two days ex-
tremely with the heat. Yesterday,
while crossing the yard, it was sun
struck and fell over, lying in the sun
some time before it was discovered.
Mrs. NJ. brought the animal, which is
quite pet, into the house, and after
little time it revived. AS soon as it
could walk it crept to the refrigerator,
and began to NEW. Not knowing what
it wanted, Mrs. NJ. opened the door of
the ice-chest to get some milk, when
the animal leaPed in and nestled against
the blocks of ice. 1t stayed there for
some moments and then jumped out
again. Two or three times in the after
noon it repeated the performance, and
this morning, when the servant went
down to get the ice, she found pussy on
the steps, leaning its head up against
one Of the blocks. 1t has evidently
made up its mind to keep cool if it
takes the hair off.

The Source of Vitality

1t is from the blood that the body derives Vi
taIty, since not only does the blood contain the
elements Of muscular and nervous tissue and bone.
but upon its outgo through its many channels and
retux to the heart, existence itself depends If
then this vital feeder and motor be deficient in
nourshing constituents, the body loses strength
and weight, and health languishes. In order to
enrich the blood, and thus Impart fresh vigor to
an enteebled system, stimulate tagging digestion
with the national invigorant, Hostetter's Stomach
Bltters; which by infusing energy into the opera
tions of the stomach, promotes, nay insures thor
ough digestion and assimilation, and consequent
nutrition. A gain in appetite, v1gor and flesh
and digestive tranquility is invariably found to
foiiew course of this deservedly popular tonic,
which IS moreover reliable preventive of malar-
ial feYers

THE demand for labor throughout
the entire country is SO great that
there are no less than thirty men at
Castle Garden to engage laborers as
fast as they arrive, and ship them at
once to points where their services are
needed. Scandinavians are most
sought after, and then Germans. Ital-
ians appear to be the least popular. A
western railroad company gives the
superintendent of immigration at New
York standing offer for an unlimited
number of able-bodied men at $3.50
per day, with permanent employment.

CONSIDERABLE anxiety is felt at the
white house relative to the effects
which may be produced on the presi-
