GENERAL GRANT.
No Material Change in His condi-
tion-He Spends an Easy
Night.

New YORK, April l5.-Dr. Doug
las said this afternoon, when ques-
toned about Gen. Grants condition
"The throat is examined by the aid of
an incandescent lamp which is affix-
cd to the end of small staff. The
Generals exact weight is not known,
but his body is somewhat wasted,
the natural result of his long suffer-
ing and close confinement. The
spasm of the gloLtis, so much talked
about, is a convulsive action of the
top of the windpipe, caused by the
accumulation OF mucus at that point.
The action tends to close the passage,
though not entirely. To remove this
mucus syringe charged with a
medicated and perfumed wash is en-
ployed. Gen. Grant takes coffee
early in the morning, and it seems to
agree with him. His food consists
Of condensed beef and whipped raw
eggs in milk. His normal tenpera-
ture is 9S IS. A temperature mark
ing l0l is not alarming, except it be
intimately connected with other im-
mediate troubles. When the Their
mometer marks los, great danger is
indicated, and when temperature
of l07 is reached death cnsues. Out
side changes of the weather in no.
wise affect the patients condition or
health, as the room is kept at tenn
perature not varying a degree either
way from 70. Gen. Grants head is
never bandagcl, though he generally
wears white handkerchief around
his neck. The lump OIL the throat
outside of the glands, near the ear,
is closely allied to the inside trouble,
growing larger or smaller. Two
days ago it was very large, to-day
small. The size Of the lump may be
taken as fair indication of the pa
TENTS health"
Among the callers on Gen. Grant
to-day was Gen. John c. Fremont.
MIDNIGHT-Gen. Grant, during
the afternoon and evening, walked
several times from his bedroom to
his library and enjoyed the company
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.
His pulse and temperature are I'M
changed and there is at present a
promise for him quiet night.

TR1ea COUNTY POLITICS.
The Candidates For The Legisla-

ROARING SPRING, Ky. Apr. 10Th, 1885.
Mr.. EDITOR:

Monday, and heard the opening
speeches of the candidates for the

gentlemen as to their suggestions
about legislation. Each seemed to

could be improved upon. They preach

how many dollar could be saved to
the state. My pick of the trio is Col.
Gentry,whom predict will be elected.
lie is gentleman Of ripe experience.
Honest and capable, l never heard a
speech from candidate from any
place that was more sensible and to
the point. There are few better
stumpers than Col. Gentry. One
candidate was better organized than
the others, being provided with a
stamping committee, imported all the
way from Hopkinsville. thought

A zereba.
NO the Editor Of the Inter oeean.I

ITO the Editor Of the Inter ocean,
What is "zereba?" Please answer
through the Inter Ocean. j. Y. 5.
1t was but recently we gave de-
scription editorially of this favorite
Arabic defense, made famous by the
English invasion of the Soudan. 1t
is a simple but very effective form oil
fertilization to resist assault, though
1t Is not impermcable to European
shot and shell. The zereba is ma
tive light barricade constructed in the
form of square, and, by the Arabs,
was made of mimosa brush, piled
with the prickly branches outward,
and built high enough to make the
offer to overlap them impracticable.
The sharp, Jagged branches present
forbidding aspect to the Arabs and
blacks, who have no taste for fling
ing their naked bodies against
them.
The great tactics Of the Arabs is to
attack by crushing" in the hope to
oyerwhelm, by the very impetus of
the assault, the waiting enemy. AS
a means of checking this "rush" the
zereba has been found very effective,
and the English adopted the native
example as a very excellent provision
against decisive charge from the
enemy in open fighting. But any
sort of superficial fertilization flung
up to meet 3 temporary requirement
is now referred to in the dispatches
as zereba. 1t corresponds, in fact,
to the fence-rail breast-works and the
light earthworks thrown up by our
own troops in the war for the Union
The principle of construction is
very old one undoubtedly, and is
very good one in primative warfare
where the serious fighting is in hand
to-hand encounters. In China the
practice is a favorite one of thrusting
long bamboo rods, sharpened to "a
point, into the escarp of their breast
works, which very painfully retards
too reckless charge. The zereba
has been of invaluable aid to the
British in the Soudan.

Gus Finley will be hung for mur-

was convicted and sentenced to hang
in December last, when an appeal
was taken, the Court of Appeals re-
fusing new trial. His case has
been delayed until the present time.
This will be the first legal hanging
ever witnessed in Floyd county, and
will be witnessed by an immense
crowd. Public opinion in Floyd
county is very much divided as to
the justice Of the verdict, and the
general opinion is that the case calls
strongly for Executive clemency.
