NEW YORK, April 14.-A gentleman who
is thoroughly conversant with GIANTS
ailment said tonight: THE marvellous
in the Generals condition is
not at all surprising to me. He may live
two or three weeks and he may live two
or three months. If he survives till the
early part of the summer he will Be taken
out of the city, to the mountains probably,
a / do not think the sea cir would agree
with him. II he has strength enough ]
think he would like TO 60 to California II
he improves in the same ratio during the
four DAYS he will Be riding in the park
this week. He does not require so much
morphia now, only six drops Of the solu-
ton were injected tonight instead Of the
customary ten drops. He partook Of three
varieties of n0urishment to-day, and the
General, being in . facetious mood, alluded
10 the food as his three courses"
DIR. Shraiy left the house at $50. at
which time he said the General was doing
well and would pass comfortable night.
General Grant during the afternoon and
evening walked several times from his bed
room to his library and enjoyed the COM
pauy of different members of his family.
At 10 o'clock he retired and since that
time has been sleeping in his chair. His
cough is not troublesome and the secretion
of mucus is slight. Pulse and temperature
unchanged.

NEW YORK, April 14.--Governments
quiet. with an advance of l per cent. in As
and AIS and decline of in 3's. There
was fairly well distributed business in
railway bonds, none Of which were active,
except Erie ID and West Shore 1st, and
they only in the early part of the day.
The total sales were $sl9,OOO, a decrease
from yesterday of $4,000. Prices this
evening were generally higher than the
close yesterday. Stocks remained dull
and featureless. There were few stocks
to-day that fuctuated as much as per
cent, and the total transactions were only
16O,955 shares. The first prices were gen.
erally at or a shade above the closing
quotations of last evening, but they were
followed Immediately by slight decline
and extreme dullness, which continued
with only slight fluctuations until 2
o'clock. In the last hour some activity
was infused into into q few stocks, es-
pecially Pacific Mail, Grangers, Wander
bilts and Lackawana, and the market
finally closed somewhat feverish at prices
that are pretty evenly divided in numbers
between advances and declines as COM
pared with last evening. 1t was given out
to-day that the Pacific Mails quarterly
meeting to consider the question of divi-
dend would be held tomorrow and that
the usual amount would probably be de-
clared, on which it sold up to 5ls, closing
at 52., gain of per cent.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 12.-Death has
again interfered with the plans Of the
Senatorial managers. To-day Representa-
tive J. Henry Shaw, Of Beardstown, Cass
county, was found dead in his room at the
hotel where he was stopping. He had
been suffering from heart disease. but was
able to take part in the legislative pro-
ceedings. II is believed that Governor
Oglesby will tomorrow issue writ for
new election.
DISPATCHES were sent to the Republican
members tonight urging them to meet IN
Joint assembly Tuesday. The Morrison
members, however, claim that no vote will
be taken. Speaker Haines says there VIII
not be full meeting during the remainder
of the session. and the impression gains
ground that the Legislature will adjourn
without deciding the Senatorial question.
Every one seems at sea tonight 1t will
be at least three weeks bctore the vacancy
caused by the death of Sh'sw can be filled,
and the Democrats do not want to force
the fighting. Logan's friends are satisfied
with the complexion OF affairs, feeling con-
dent that his election is only question Of
time. Shaw's district is Democratic by a
large majority.

WAsHINGToN, April 12.--Senor de
Peraltar, minister from Costa Rica, has re-
ceived q dispatch from the Costa Rican
minister at the City Of Mexico, who says
that the Genital American troubles are
settled. The dispatch gives no details, but
Peraltar assumes that the fact that Hon
duras has entered the already strong al
lance Of the States of Costa Rica, Mica
ragua and salvador and the determined
attitude of the Mexican government
against the Barrios project of compelling
. union Of Central American States have
convinced the Guatemala government that
it is the better policy for them to take no
steps towards forcing the States into o
union.
LA LIBERTAD, April IA treaty OF
peace has been signed between the govern
ments Of San Salvador and Honduras. The
latter republic has joined the alliance
against Guatemala. The armies of San
Salvador are advancing on the city of
Guatemala from various points, and are
everywhere welcomed by the populace.
Many of the disbanded Guatemalan troops
are joining the allied forces.
Nav ORLEANS, April l4,--Capt. Doane,
of the steamship Haredia, which arrived
here to-day from Port Limon, Costa Rica,

by the death of Barrios.

WINNIPEG, April 12.-While no reliable
information can be had tonight from the
west, rumor has it that the 18th Battalion
had . skirmish with Riel's party within
30 miles Of Humboldt and 80 men were
killed, bat the dispatches just received do
not confirm the statement. More troops
20 west tomorrow. Although this is Sun
day nothing can be seen on the streets but
soldiers and cannons.
The news of the battle between the 9Oth
Battalion and half-breeds Is not confirmed,
but is still believed on the streets here,
though it can be traced to no reliable
source. All the wires from the west are
controlled by the Canadian Pacific Rail-
road Company, and telegrams from the
seat of war are inspected BY the officers in
command. Official messages are sent to
the government in cypher. Much uneasi-
ness is felt here over the report, although
the rumor is discredited by the authorities.
Frail Houses EntOmb wOrkmen.
NEW YORK, April 13.-Eight five-story
houses in 62d street, near Tenth avenue,
fell in this afternoon, burying the men
employed there. Up to 4:3O p. m. ten per-
sons were taken from the ruins. They
were seriously but not fatally injured, and
were removed to the hospital. Gangs OF
men are at work on the debris, as it is
feared many other workmen are still bur-
led in the ruins. TIE buildings were erec-
ted last winter and were reported by the
building department as unsafe. The work
men were engaged in repriring defects in
the houses at the time the accident occur
red. No mortar was used in the construc-
tion of the buildings, the bricks being held
in place by sand.

Gubat, which at present seems to be the
aenfra of REitislA slA-s4ilita.p- -ararations is n
small town Of Nubia, or rather suburb of
Shendy, large commercial town of the
Nile valley. II has population of about
700, whose chief occupation is supplying the
extensive markets of Shendy. Within its
borders is a cemetery, where are buried
some of the most famous saints and chief
tains of that historical region. On this ac-
count 1t is especially sacred to Mohamme-
dams, and Its present occupation by British
forces is a source of great irritation to Ell
Mahdi. Shendy, situated on the opposite
banks of the Nile in latitude 16o 3S>, is
a town of 10000 inhabitants. 1t was
once place of great commercial impor-
tanee, and, although it has somewhat de.
clined, still large quantities of corn, manu-
factured goods, and cattle are sold at its
weekly markets.

The value of Murdock's Liquid Food for we'll or
feeble infants we cannot illustrate better than by
lew cases where We know lives have been saved by
its use -
A babe when born weighed 1s4 lbs. and so feeble
that its life was despaired Of it would not retain
any food given until one drop of Liquid Food was
given it III water at feeding and improved so rap.
idly that milk was substituted for water in less than
ten days, and when six months old weighed

Another child weighed three pounds at birth; with
one drop in its milk in five weeks weighed seven

From the Neto York Pharmaceutical Journal, Dec.
"a, 1854.
During visit to Boston a month ago we devoted
an hour to a call on Mr.. A. L. Murdock that we

respect what is claimed for it as thoroughlv rep-
resentatve nutritious food of properties more heal

A look through the hospital satisfied us that its
merit in restoring health to the puny foundings un
der the care of that institution is not overstated
for We saw some that were apparently in splendid
condition, who when admitted were puny sick, de.
