THE PRISONERS.
WACO, TEX, June 2s.

WACO, TEX, June 29.
To the Editor OF the Examiner
Having had the privilege, through
the kindness OF our obliging TAILOR and
guards, of daily reading the sermons
of the Rev. Sam Jones In the ExAMI-
NER, we, one and all, feel us II we
were not utterly cast out, or entirely
cut of from the outside world, al
though we are incarcerated In Waco
jail, and we all, as prisoners, wish
through the medium OF your paper to
express our heartfelt gratitude and
our sincere thanks to all the off
GERS for this kindness to us.
Though the favor of these same of
ticers, also, we had the pleasure, on
Sunday morning, Of listening TO
beautiful lecture in the jail by Sam
Jones himself, privilege which all
the prisoners appreciated, and we all
join in returning TO the preacher,
sam Jones, our warmest thanks for
the sound advice and good counsel
he gave us at that time. Nor would
we fail to thank again our kind jailer
and guards for granting us tho OPP
portunity of listening TO the great
evangelist, and we hope those out
side people, who were admitted to
the Jail to hear the discourse, did not
find us prisoners quite such wild ami
mails as, perhaps, they had supposed
us to be. We all appreciated the lee
ture and hope the visitors did like
wise-ior 1t was good one-and we
heartily thank the great preacher for
his kindness in coming to talk to us.
Yours truly,
THE PRISONERS IN WACO JAIL.

Ottowa, Ont, June, 29.-Since the
announcement Of temporary arrange
ment between this government and
the United States in regard to the

have been receiving many protests
from Canadian fishermen who assert
theywill not.allow Americans to fish in
in-shore waters and that they will re-
sist any attempts of Americans to so
Dish. These members state that blood,
shed Is almost unavoidable should
the fishermen OF the two countries
meet. The government has sent n

IL, as now seems probable, there was a
great deal Of exaggeratiOn in the doctors
bulletins concerning Grants condition, that
fact should serve to mark them out as noun
tebanks for all time to come. No one expects
doctors to be absolutely accurate in their
diagnoses, but II is within their duty, when at
fault to offer what encouragement they can
to their patients. Many very sensible people
think that doctors are chiefly useful as en-
couraging agents. Certain 1t is that success

cancer The New York Sun, paper that
has a rare faculty Of getting at the marrow OF
whatever it investigates thus sums up
Grants condition: Hemorrhage was
caused by a sore in his throat which in its
progress involved a small blood vessel, and
thus caused the unimportant bleeding that
followed. But Immediately this sore began
to heal, and week ago hardly a trace Of it
remained, thing impossible If it had been a
cancer. Another swelling, however, sue
ceeded it further down the throat but that,
we dare say, is pretty well cured by this
time" Every one will hope that this view
of the situation is correct. 1t seems to -be
borne out by what has occurred since Grant
was given up by his doctors.

In Kcntucky Town.

About twonty-eight years ago the advance
agent Of Van Amburgh's circus arrived at
Paris from Terre Haute one sultry evening
In August He found letter nj the post
Office ordering his immediate return to head
quarters, but ordering him TO- bill the town.
Hastily arranging with an old negro and
red-headed boy TO post tho bills, he took his
departure. When he returned a week later
to view the work of his substitutes imagine
his surprise on espying the bills. Neither
the boy nor the darkey could read, and they
had about as much idea Of putting the
large four-sheet posters, together as a suck
ling dove has Of papal infalibillity. They plas.
tered them on the side OF house, a sheet at
time, getting some wrong side up, while
others were torn into and smolixed on each
side Of whole sheet The agent commenced
10 swear In highfalutin way that made the
eyes of tho bill-posters stick ont like

but on a closer survey Of the artistic
| manner in which the Job had been ex-
| ecuted, he lay right down in the exuberanco
OF his tjckledabiiity. This Is the startling pic

happy but unique perspective. The lad,
who was fired out ofa cannon had her fee

The Italian government seem disposed to
insist that A. NJ. Kelley, the newly ap-

upon with suspicion, for the reason that in
January, 1871, while mayor OF Richmond, he
took prominent part at public meeting
held in that city to denounce the occupation
ofRonle by Victor Emanuel. The Italian min
lister at Washington has directed an official in
quiry to Juan A Pizzini, the Italian vice con-
sui at Richmond, as to why his name ap-
peared among those rendering banquet to
the departing minister He replied thatit was
due to mistake. Just what connection a
minister's personal views have with his con-

motion Of which remains in Washington, Is
difficult 10 see. But Italy is small power,
