The Bulletin adds:
"This high authority expressed his ab

confidently pronounced the opinion that
Gen. Grant would not die as conse4
quence OF the disease from which be is
row suffering. Under intelligent and
skillful treatment, he believed the pa
TENTS recovery would be not only cer-
tain but speedy. The inference drawn
from this gentleman's remarks was that
Gen. Grant had not had the most inteili-
gentuor most skillful medical advice and
treatment, and that he had more to fear
from ignorance of bis true condition on
the part of his physicians than from the
disease. The eminent rank which the
speaker holds in medical society, both in
this country and Europe. gave great
weight to what he said. His confident
manner of expressing his views induced
the hope in the minds of his hearers
that Grant may live long 10 enjoy the
respect. love and gratitude of his coun

weakened by the well known inability
of doctors to agree, just as it may
be strengthened by the latest reports of
the Generals astonishing Improvement,
which is not only astonishing. but little
short of miraculous. if the diagnosis of
the attending physicians was correctly
made. There is very strong suspicion.

AN AFFECTING SCENE.

Judge Dunn's Pathethic Appeal to the
Grand Jury to Drop the Indictment
Against Him Proves Intellectual.
PLATTsBURG, Mo-, Sept. 19.--Probably
no sadder or more pathetic scene was
ever witnessed in court room than the
one that could have been seen in the
court room here this morning. Judge
Dunn, who had been indicted for drunk
enness, was anxious for the prosecuting
attorney to dismiss the case. This the
attorney agreed to do if the grand jury
would pass a resolution recommend
ing the dismissal. Special Judge Lowe
ordered the grand jury brought into court.
When they had been brought in Judge
Dunn made them feeling talk, stating
that he had been grievOusly affected with
asthma for some time, and had been
using stimulants as remedy; thatin the
great suffering from the disease he had
probably used too much, He admitted
the remedy was dangerous one, and that
in it's use he had probably been indiscreet,
but did not think it should be considered
q crime.
He alluded to his past service, to his
having been connected with the courts of
this circuit for Al years, for several years
as circuit attorney and for 30 years as
Judger that no was now near his grave.
being now nearly 70 years old, and he
pleaded with them not to let that blotrest
upon his name now, If they felt that they
could make the recommendation, after
hearing his statement, without stultify-
ing their conscience. He asked to hear
from the members of the bar and the
court. Several of the attorneys made
short speeches, asking the jury to make
the recommendation.
The jury retired for consideration, but
refused TO pass the resolution, as they fell
that they but discharged their duty. The
case was then continued generally by the
prosecuting attorney.

And thousands OF Bushels OF Their
apples are ROttinE In Consequence.
HoNEsDALE, Sept. Is. - Never in the
history Of this part Of Pennsylvania hag
fruit OF all kinds been 80 abundant as it Isl
this year. This county (Wayne) Is a.
great apple-grOwing region, and thou
sands OF bushels Of the choicest varieties
OF that fruit are lying on the ground In
the orchards and rOtting. Large branches
OF trees have been broken OIL by the weight
OF fruit upon them. Unlike the neighbOr-
ing county OF Orange, in New York State,
no apples are made into whisky in Wayne
county. II there were stills here, the
enormous apple crop could be prohtabiy
utilized this fall, as this is the of year for
apples in Orange county, the years with
even numbers being the apple-bearing
years there, and the apple whisky products
will be small.
Plums and pears, which are also easily
grown In Wayne county, share with the.
apples In making the fruit crop unprece-l
dented. IL has been necessary 70 prop up.

from being completely stripped Of their!
branches By their burdens Of fruit. Ap-l
pies, plums, and pears are not only overs
abundant, but unusually sound and
excellent In flavor. The general farm
crops have all been good this season In
northern Pennsylvania, with the eXcep-
ton Of potatoes. The New York markets
are largely supplied with potatoes from
this and adjoining counties, and only the,
best varieties are grown. The early
drought injured the growing crop, and the
recent heavy rains, with intervening hot
days, have caused potatoes 10 rot, and
farmers report that not One-quarter OF the
usual crop can be saved. Buckwheat,
which is nearly ready for cutting, viii be
more than an average yield.

him and send him to Tuft College, Massa-
chusetts. The skeleton he was 10 send 10 the
Smithsonian Institution, at Washington
Acting upon these instructions, the pro-
fessor and assistants Immediately upon
their arrival commenced the task Of meas
uring tho animal, which occupied couple
Of hours. At O'Clock Prof. Ward, with
his Two assistants and corps Of city
butchers, stood around the departed
Jumbo 10 take on his skin and dissect
out his bones. The dead monster drew
crowds 10 the last, and there were hum
dreds on tho ground 20 take farewell
view. 1t was supposed that the eXnibi-
ton would bs free, but such was not the
case. Some enterprising individual had
secured the privilege Of collecting an adj
mission Zee. Policemen were placed at
suitable points 10 keep out the crowd ex-
cept az the field gate, where admission
was gained by paying cents.
sKINNING THE MONSTER.
Jumbo still lay on the side OF the bank
IN an admirable position 10 be advantage
Ously skinned. Two Of his legs were so
placed that they held him on the incline.
The taxidermists and butchers cut down
the back and took on half the skin. Then
they dislointed the two legs which held
him 10 the bank, after which be was
rolled over without difficulty. and that
part OF the task was accomplished. The
work Of dissecting the huge bones was
more difficult, and II required all OF the
ingenuity OF Prot. Ward 10 devise means
% handle the immense limbs and masses
OF muscle.
THE REMAINS CREmATED.
While this was being accomplished, I'm
accord with the order Of the health In
spectOr. about four cords Of wood were
procured aud the funeral pyre built. The
body OF the great Jumbo was soon laid on
this and slowly reduced 10 ashes. No
other creature, human or brute. ever be-
fore had such well attended funeral IN
this town, and no other will be remem-
bered so long. After the cremation ia
completed the ashes will bo gathered and
placed In an urn.
