MOVING THE PRESIDENT.

Eight employees of the White House
have been overcome by malaria since
President Garfield was shot, and physi-
clans have advised them not to return to
their places during the warm season if
they can avoid it. 1t is wonderful that
the Potomac flats and rotten house have
not produced malarial symptoms in Presi-
dent Garfield, and it is evident that the
malarial influence to which he is exposed
is the source of much danger His re-
moval from Washington at the earliest
possible moment is exceedingly desirable
The prudence with which his case has
. heen managed by his physicians is an
assurance to the public that nothing will
ne done rashly, but already those in at
tendance at his bedside begin to discuss
plans for giving their patient a change Of

MAUD 5. AS QUEEN.

MAID 5. is now the foremost represent
tative of the American trotting turf.
while Iroquois and Foxhall, winners Of
the Derby and the Grand PriX de Paris.
are the most conspicuous of American
racers, although neither may yet be the
greatest of American running horses.
But. as being the most conspicuous their
fame may be compared with that of
Maud 5. for the purpose of estimating
the comparative interest i'll trotting and
running races i'll this country. 1t is safe
to say that Iroquois and Foxhall together
could not excite as much interest ill 4
succession of exhibitions OF their speed
as that felt in the efforts of Maud ). to
beat her own record. At Belmont Park,
Philadelphia last Thursday, she made
the best three successive heats on record
her time being 2.12, =. 1874 and 2.l2l. Al
though this was not a remarkable
achievement for her, yet it will be more
talked about throughout the country
than any other turf event of the day, and
no other horse can excite the interest
that is felt in the question whether she
can bring her record down to EOS OF 2. 10.
This shows that Americans care more for
trotting than for running horses, which
is as it should be, for the development of
trotting stock promises the improvement
of the roadsters of the country.

THE RAPID GROWTH OF LUNACY

In his inaugural address before the
Conference Of Charities. whose final SEES
sion in Boston nGanrred on Saturday.
President F. b. Sanborn said that there
is one Iunatic for every $50 sane persons
in Massachusetts,. which would make the
number of lunatics in the Old Bay State
at least 5000. Happily, the proportion of
lunatics is less in other parts of the
country, although at the rate of one lu-
matte for every 400 sane persons, the in
sane population of the United States
would be 125, 600. This army of madmen
is nine times the size Of the United states
army. What an appalling report! And
the worst feature of the case is that the
proportion of incurable and dependent
insance has been increasing for twenty
years The human misery represented
by an army of-to make The estimate
m"derate-l6U,0 600 madmen is something
friShtful to contemplate. but the burden
to the public of the maintenance of the
insane is also subject which presses it
self upon the attention.
The thought of an increase of this in
sane population is dreadful enough to
make any citizen who entertains ii wish
for the expenditure of money aud skill
to devise improved methods for the care
and treatment of the insane. An cpl
demie Of madness seems TO have broken
forth, and the prominence of the subject
of insanity at the present time makes
this favorable opportunity for a move
ment fOr. better methods of treating the
disease. 1t is well known that work.
cheerful employment suited to the indi-
yidual, is an invaluable remedy for insan-
t,y in its first stages. How many OF our
asylums apply that remedy to its full
value? How mauS Of the 100. 900 lunatics
of the republic have been promptly and
iudiciously treated for their malady in
its first stages? To ask these questions is
to assert the urgent need of the provis-
ION of scientific remedies available to the
victims of insanity in ali parts of the
country There are incurah!e Inmates
who must always be kept in confinement
and many dangerous ones are now at
large, To the peril Of human life; but a
large per cent. of cases of insanity are
durable in their early stages, and to the
cure of THESE science and philanthropy
should devote their best endeavors.

THE NELAT0N PROBE.
How the French Surgeon Whose Name
il Bears Saved Garlbaldi's Foot.

DR.. Bliss says that soon after President
Garfield WIS shot he explored the wound
to Il depth of three and Il half inches
with Nelaton probe. which showed
no traces of u contact with lead. This
probe is well known among Surgeons,
and is kept for sale by every dealer i'll
surgical Instruments; but great curiosity
has been expressed by people not con-
nected with the profession as to how it
indicates Il contact with lead as distn-
guished from a contact with bone or other
hard substance. The simple explanation
is that the minute. pear-shaped bulb Of
the unglazed, white porcelain, about the
size of the smallest pea, which is attach
ed to the tip Of the probing needle, is
discoored by the metal if touched whose
particles can be identified, if necessary.
by the magnifying glass or by chemical
tests.
This little instrument has Il curious
history. general Garihaldi was wounded

THE BULLET is HERE. y

Prof. Bell has Won famous triumph :,
by his invention of an electrical appa-
ratus to determine the location of the
bullet in President Garteld's body. Dr.
Bliss graphically described the first use
of the marvellous invention in Il CONVEX
sation with v. Y. Hrald correSpon-
dent says:

| we have kept from the press. About two
weeks ago we determined To test the

wound Prof. Bell said. stop. the indica-
tor shows that the ball is here We
carefully examined and found that our
theory as to the location of the ball was
fully justified by the induction balance.
! The machine was not perfected enough
at this time to show the depth of the ball
if it exceeded two inches. but Prof. Bell
took it away to remedy this. He informs
me tonight that he has mastered the
difficulty and will make another exami-
, nation to- morrow, when he is sure he can
! detect lead at depth Of i've inches.
There is little doubt that further ex-
periments will confirm the opinion now
held, that the bullet lies within two
inches of the surface Of President Gar
fields body, about two inches below and
five inches to the right of the navel. The
determination of its location reveals the
wisdom of the attending physicians in
refusing 10 probe for the ball, as DIR.
Hammond declares he would have done.
II is evident, too, that a ball 50 near the
surface could be easily cut out in III
emergency, although the physicians have
prudently decided not tn attempt its re-
moval until the patients recovery is far
advanced. unless heroic treatment be
