SUMMARY OF NEWS OF THE WEEK.
Another Day with Grant.

Last Monday night Rev. Dr. Newman said
Gen Grant is apparently much better to- day
He is-wel don't know any better word than
brighter; that is the worldly expression for ii.
DO You think there is any decided improve
ment, Them
well, can't tell about that I only Judge
from what the physicians say 1 suppose
however, that this is one of the characteris
tics OF the desease. He is certainly bet
ter, though, than he was on YESTERDAY !.
Another authority said Gen Grant, accord
ing TO all reports from the b ouse is stronger
tonight tnaI he has been in week. He had
passed very quiet day and was resting quiet
~ this evening. About week ago he was
very weak and faint. while tonight he was
strong enough to walk from his room to the
library and back again several times. The
cancer, however, was certainly progressing
but not very rapidly. 1t was simply oues-
ton OF how long it would be before the can
Ger would leach vital point and terminate
fatally.
One of the pleasing episodes of the dav was
the arrival of special messenger from Presi-
dent Cleveland, Marshal Morton McMichael
OF the District of Columbia, at the house early
in the afternoon. He had been sent over spe-
cially by President Cleveland to express to the
general and his family the presidents solicit
tude as to his welfare, and also to convey his
sympathies with them The call was a pleas
ant one, and very gratifying to the family.

Gen. Grant Dazed bv Anoa,re.

New York Special: 1t was between and Z
o'clock when Gen. Grant finally awoke The
effects of the last anodyne was seen in the dazed
and semi-delirious condition of his mind As
he lay on his couch he b,san to call up remi
niscences o. the war, and talked of the promi-
7Hent generals who took part in it. He imagined
that they It'd come to call on him, and demand
ed that the doors be thrown open and the Wis

called to Earriscr. to dress him for a reception
that he had promised to attend, and at Which
he was to speak. He thought that his valet had
nes':ctsd ! 5 duties, and ordered him to hurry.
The illusion passed away in few moments,
however, and the generals mind became per.
1ectly clear. For some reason.r,a attempt was
made to keep his dazed condi. Lon on awaken
ing from the public, and no statement of it
, was made by the family OF physicians. It
leaked out, however, through other authorita-
tive channels. When questioned about it, Dr.
SS1hrady admitted every thing but the story about
the generals illusions, which he declined to

Parasites in Domestic Fowls.

On dissecting fowl which had died
from sickness, Thomas Taylor, M. D.,
of the department Of agriculture,
found reddish markings on the RIB
muscles and the lungs, which under
the microscope were seen to consist of
numerous mites, closely resembling
Cytoleschats sarcoptoitles ,(Megnin), Il
species not hitherto reported in Amer
lea. When the skin was removed from
another fowl, great numbers of small,
white, opaque specks were seen in the
cellular tissue, and by means of the
microscope mites were found, of the
species Lassairsosioptes gallinorun, Meg
nin). Tho opaque specks were of q
calcareous substance, and many con-
tanned the remains of one or more of
these mites. In the same fowl DR..
Taylor found thousands of encysted
nematcids, resembling, under a'micro-
scope of low power, Iricl,ino spiralis,
but under a power of about five hum
dred diameters they seemed to be of
an undescribed species. A third fowl
also contained mites of the species
Qaltiaor'sna- Dr.. Taylor deems it proba-
bic that considerable amount of dis
ease prevailing among American do
nestle fowls, and not referable to any
known type may DE due to such para
sites. He suggested that carbolic acid,
or other disinfectants, sprinklcd about
henneries might prove useful as an
antidote to these, and to external para
sites.-F0ps&l0r Science M0nLblu.

A New Granddaughter.


The venerable historian, George
Bancroft, is rejoicing in the compan-
ionship of newly-discovered grand
daughter. Years ago son Of Mr.,
Bancroft, whose very existence some
OF his friends had come to forget, went
to France and took up his residence.
He married a French wife, and spent
the last years of his life there. His
death was followed by that of his
wife, and there was left behind an
orphan girl, half French, half Amer
lean, wno has now come to live with
her grandparents. She has proved to
be a very bright and charming girl,

a settlement of difference, but the London
Times says While politicians believe or pretend
to believe, that there is a prospect of peace,

to believe Russia is bent on forcing quarrel.

The Cost to the Century"
ow York Letter to Boston Transcript.

Now York Letter to Boston Transcript
Every few days there appears in
some newspaper n paragraph relating to
General Grant and tho price he has
received, or is receiving, for his war
articles in the Century. No two OF
these statements agree, and none that
have thus far been published state the
facts. The last that have seen was,
if ! recollect Alright, that Grant received
$1,000 month while writing his pap ers
and that, in view of tho popularity Of the
war series, the Century people had
made him some handsome presents
besides. About the second part Of tho
statement know nothing. The first,
however, is very vide OF the mark.
The original contract called for four
articles from General Grant-on Shiloh1
Vicksburg, Chattanooga and the Wild
erness. The agreed price for these
articles was $500 for each, and this is
the sum that has been paid. II any one
doubts this statement, can assure him
that have seen General GRANTS receipt
for this sum for the Shiloh aud other
articles. The Shiloh paper covers
about twenty-one pages, moro than
half OF which space is given to illustra-
tions. General Grant, therefore, &c
cording to his contract, received about
$50 for each page of text that he
furnished, and l think no one will doubt
that he wrote the whole paper. General
Joseph T.. Johnston and General Nc
Clellan, who have written about the
Peninsular campaign, and Admiral
Porter have also received $500 each for
articles. General Mcclellan is an able
writer, and his papers describing his
connection with tho Army of the
Potomac, which will appear in the May
and June numbers of the magazine, will
undoubtedly attract wide attention.
For he discusses not only the military
side of the question, but his relations
with the Administration as well, and
narrates the details Of interviews which
he had with President Lincoln and
Secretary Seward, thus giving his papers
"a peculiarly entertaining personal and
controversial flavor.

Mexico as a Winter Resort.

Arriving at Cuautla. we found an ex-
cellent hotel. the San Diego. directly
across the plaza from the railway
station. The landlord was German,
and had been in the country about
thirty years. The hotel was one
story structure, built around a large
court, the rooms opening upon tile
rooted veranda. In the court was a
tall date-palm. with sprays of rich.
orange-hued blossoms rising among its
graceful plumes OF dark green.
hardly expected to meet in an OBJ
scure Mexican town party of Ameri-
can tourists passing the time in placid
ease, just as they might be encounter
ed at a nice Swiss inn in some Alpine
valley. Yet we encountered at the
San Diego most delightful company
of our compatriots. One, an eminent
artist, who was something of an in
valid. was enthusiastic over the de-
licious air and glorious scenery of the
place. These winter DAYS in Cuautla
were all like our ideal June weather
at home, he said. There was no in.
tense heat, while cold and chilliness
were absolute strangers. Mexico he
regarded as superior to Florida as a
winter refuge. In these warm lands,
besides the endless scenic variety,
there was an unchanging climate all
through the winter; at least on the Pa
citic side OF the mountains. On the
gulf slope, as at Orlsaba. there were
occasional fogs, rain, and raw north
ers.
"And then there are no mosquitoes
here" said another friend. 81 have
never seen land SO free from them.
The few insects one meets here are
really contemplate; feel inclined TO
pity them for their feebleness."
1t is, indeed, u great mistake for
people to come to Mexico from the
north in the winter and contine them
selves to the capital. They experience
the chilly weather which now and then
visits the high regions of the central
tableland at that season, and with the
abrupt transitions of cold and heat
from morning to noon and night they
at times feel more discomfort than in
their wintry northern home, where
genial hearth-tires glow, until ut last
they perhaps leave for home in dis
gust, matchmaking tho whole coun-
try. All this is y mistake, when on
every hand are pleasant places like
Cuautla within easy reach of the CAPT
tai by rail, journeying to which might
fill many weeks with round OF
health giving pleasure, novel scenes
greeting the eye everywhere. There
is much of the greatest interest b
tourists to be seen in and around the
capital, but there are plcasante,
winter abiding places near by. 1t is,
however, q good central point from
which to make agreeable tours all over
the country. Now that railway com.
