PoRTs MOUTH, Aug. 2.-Early this
morning Mrs. Greedy came over to the
city from Admiral Wells residence and
took her two little daughters, who had
remained during the night with their
grandfather at the Rockingham House,
over to the AdmiraPs to see
their father. Mai. Greedy was over
come with emotion at the sight of
his little ones. At noon Surgeons
Gunner and Head visited the Constitu-
ton to examine into the physical condi-
ton of the survivors of the Greedy oXpe-
lition. Gen. HaZen accompanied the
surgeons, and ut the conclusion of the
examination the surgeons decided that
the survivors are well enough to be
transferred to the War Department to be
cared for ashore.
Secretary Chandler directed the men
to be turned over to Hazen, who, on the
advice of the surgeons, directed that the
survivors be kept at the Navy Yard hos
pital for treatment ten days or fort
night.
The survivors generally protested
against this, saying: They were en-
tirely able to care for themselves, but
General Hazen firmly persisted, saying:
What the department was doing was
fer their own good. The surgeons
and General Hazen then went to Ad-
nllTul w cll - ItSi'tcll'' "hCl'
Greedy was questioned as to his condi-
ton He replied he was well in every
way except he was weak. The surgeons
gave it rs their opinion that Greedy
would require great care, his
condition being uniavorable. He has
gained flesh at the rate of two or three
pounds daily, but it is soft and ilabhy
and contains no muscular strength.
The other survivors also gained flesh
too rapidly, although not in so marked
a degree as in the case of Maj. Greeley.
Mai. Greedy asked the Surgeon to per
nit him to take quarters at the Rocking
ham House with his family and Il con-
sultation took place as to its ACCESSIBILITY
1t is likely however that the Surgeons
will yield to Mai. Greely's wishes, but
Surgeons Head, Ames, or some other
surgeon from the 1ieet be assigned to
| the duty of watching over him while he
| is in Portsmouth, or until other arrange
ments are made by Gen. Hazen. The
employees of the navy yard and cadets
were drawn out in Il line before
Admiral Wells residence at the navy
yard this morning and were permitted
| TO catch glimpseS of Maj. Greeiy
as he walked from the house to "A settee
under the trees on the lawn. Maj
Greedy is not permitted to talk with
visitors, and reporters are not allowed to
interview him. He is SO weak every.
thing must be done to avert taxing his
strength and he is now being dieted on
malt food.

nothing else but sob, while his mother

mander Schloy entered the cabin and
wisely directed the conversation into
less emotional channels.
About o'clock Secretary Chandler
entered his barge, and was rowed to the

took the gallant explorer in his arms in
the fervor of his greeting. "God bless

Lameness in the Shoulder.

Lameness in the shoulders often mis-
taken for lameness in the foot. A prick
in the foot with a rusty nail is very
difficult to heal, and when: the wound
seems to be healed up the foot may still
be infiamed and sore and cause. lame
ness, which may be wrongly supposed
to be from the shoulder. When o foot
Is sore and tender and a horse eau not
use it fully there is always n or more
of the muscles of the shoulder cut of
use; and when a muscle. is unused it
shrinks in size. This is the. ease very
often, and this natural effect has led
persons to suppose the shoulder was
diseased. and to give a name to the
complaint, as Sweeney" Sweeney or
astrophy, or shrinking IS not a dis
ease, nor a source of lameness, but IS
the effect of lameness elsewhere, and
generally, as in this case, in the foot.
It is probable, if the foot is examined
carefully, it will be found that
this wound is not fully healed,
but that Inflammation yet remains
IN it. To ascertain this the horn should
be cut away carefully around the old

Judge Appleton on Constitutional

Judge Appleton says he can see no more
reason for a institutional am ndment on
this subject than IN regard TO adultery, muir
der or ANY crime.
