If there be any person who still dares to
deny the far seeing wisdom of the ground
hog in this weather provision let him
glance over the record for the month of Feb
ruary that has Just closed. 1t was the cold
est ever known since the civil service de-
partment has kept record. The conipara-
tive mean temperature was 23.4 degrees
above zero. Thesnearest approach to this
was in 1875. when it was 25.6. If the skep-
tics would cease their ridicule of this unerr-
ing weather prophet he might let US down
much easier

Says the Mechanicsburg Jonrrd: For
some weeks past the papers Of the county
seat haye been discussing the right of the
directors of the poor in feeding the tramps
that infest the county, and who apply to
them for food and lodging. To settle the
case and give all chance of doing right, ac
cording to law, the county commissioners
and poor directors submitted a test case to
Judge Sadler for his opinion. Monday
morning Judge Sadler submitted an able
opinion, in which he covers all the points
clearly and forcibly. deciding that the direc-
tors have no right to feed the tramp at the
county's expense. The opinion is quite
lengthy and is ably written and will no
doubt settle the controversy, and We hope,
do away with the tramp nuisance"

New YoRK, March S.-Gsn eral
Grant slept well Friday night
and was suffering less pain than
usual on Saturday, but no mate rial
improvement was reported in his
condition. To-day's report is that
General Grant passed restless nj ght
bnt slept from 5 to II a. N. This
afternoon Doctors Baker and Doug
las, together with DR.. Shady, helol
consultation and pronounced the
patient generally botter.
The Tribune of Monday SAYS !:
The hustle and confusion that have
been noticeably characteristics of TIE
neiehborhood where General Gran t
lives, gave way yesterday to the qui-
etness and peacefulness of Sunday,
and the members of his family were
disturbed only at rare intervals by
the ringing of the front door-bell and
anxious inquiry as to the Generals
condition. Under the present state
of affairs his bedy is not nourished
sufficiently to replace the enormous
waste taking place constantly.
Though he takes some nourishment
daily in the shape of concentrated
food, ye. on account of the depres-
ssd state of the digestive organs it is
not properly assimilated, and much
of th strength that should be de-
rived from the food is lost.
From the World of Monday: The
rumor is current that the Generals
ailment are complication of troub-
les. 1t is been hinted that the sink
ing spells to which he has been sub
iect for some time, and which leave
him in a very weak condition, are
produced by trouble with his heart.
His sudden absti nence from tobacco
is said to have de veloped this feature
of his malady, if it was not a contri-
buting cause to produce it.
1t is reported tn at at the Generals
urgent request Rev. DR.. John P.
Newman, formerly of the Madison
Avenue Presbyterian n Church, now
in California, has been written con-
cerning the formers condition and
he has been asked to visit the Grant
family as soon as possible.
GRANTS COMM IssIoY.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March T.
When the commission was made
out for the appointment Mt of General
Grant on the retired list, Secretary
Lincoln retained it at The War De-
partment, thinking it proper the
new Secretary should be given op-
portunity to countersigr, it after its
signature by the President. Yester-
day morning the Preside mt sent for
it, in order that there ml ght be no
delay in making the appointment.
Secretary Lincoln took the commits
sion to the Executive Mansion in
person and handed it to the Presi-
dent, remarking he had not yet ac-
ted upon it, because he thought
Judge Endicott would be pleased to
attend to it. as one Of his first official
duties. That was very thoughtful
in you, Mr.. Lincoln" observed the
President. 81 have no doubt it
would be pleasure to Judge Endi
colt, still l will sign it myself, that
there may be no delay. and then
Judge Endicott can countersign it.
President Cleveland thereupon affix-
ed bis signature. The commission,
afte- the official record was made,
was returned to the war Department
This morning it was on the desk of
the Secretary of War, and the first
official act of Secretary Endicott was
to countersign it.
