Hon. David Davis Condition.

CHICAGO, June 21.-A special from
Bloomington, ILL.,, says: The family and
physician of ex-Vice President David Davis
have concluded that his end is approaching,
at least that he has very little chance of
recovery. They determined to give this
information to the public, believing it to be
no longer proper 10 conceal bis true condi-
ton. When Mr. Davis was attacked by the
carbunclo on the shoulder, about May 1st,
he was already reduced by diabetes. No
sooner did tic carbunce improve, two
weeks ago, than malignant erysipelas set
in so that he is now suffering from compli.
cation Of disorders, He is very weak and
cannot read the newspapers. Visitors are
not allowed to zee him. A consultation of
his family physician and medical men from
Chicago will be held to-day.

MANY OF the republican congressman,

How TO PRESERVE TIE EYEsIGHT.-
Avoid all sudden changes between light and
darkness.
Never begin to read, write, or sew for
several minutes after coming from darkness
to bright light.
Never read by twilight or moonlight, or
on dark, cloudy days.
When reading it is best to let the light fall
from above obliquely over the left shoulder.
Do not use the eyesight by light so scant
that it requires an effort to discriminate.
The moment you are instinctively
prompted to rub your eyes, that moment
stop using them.
If the eyelids are glued together on wax
ing up do not forcible open them, but apply
saliva with the finger. 1t is the speediest
dilutant in the world then wash your eyes
and face in warm water.

TT IS GENERALLY supposed that The Capt.
toll at Washington is building for the use
of the public, and not for that OF political
parties, either national or State. Certainly
all the people of all the country irrespective
of party are taxed for the Improvement
care and preservation of that building but
vet, according to General Mahone's CALL
published in another column, it seems that
a room in the Capitol of the nation is oc-
cupied by the State committee of the re-
publican party of Virginia, and that the
meetings of that committee are held therein
and the calls Of that committee issued there
from. Under the long republican regime,
not only the public buildings at Washington
but those in every other city of the country
were used as the especial personal property
of the republican party or ita officers but 1t
was supposed that different order Of things
would prevail uader democratic aud re-
form administration.

A METEOR IN A PoND.--A huge aerolite
has fallen in Spring Pond, near St. Regis
Falls, and nearly filled the pond. The body
of water usually contained in the pond was
nearly all spattered out, and the supposed
smoke seen was steam, generated by the
water running back around the heated mass.
Mud was thrown into the tree tops, and
trout were scattered promiscuously around
the pond, literally covering the banks. The
news soon became circulated through the
neighborhood, and scores of boys and men
were soon engaged in picking the fish UP,
and bushels of them were drawn away. The
6sh nearest the pond that Topped back into
the still boiling water were completely cook
ed. This huge mass seems to be mineral,
but has not cooled OFT enough yet to admit
of an examination.-Uica Herald.

A we'll informed New York politician here
today says he has no doubt that the report
about Rev. Henry Ward Beecher's mission
to England is true That report is to the
effect that as Mr.. Blaine's late speech was
made for the deliberate purpose of making
capital for himself among the Irish and Irish
sympathizers in this country, Mr.. Beecher,
Mr.. Blaine personal and political enemy has
been sent to England to espouse the same
cause and make Gladstone speeches so as to
counteract and Offset Mr.. Blaines influence
with the same class of voters in this country,
and that the expenses of his trip and sum
sufficient to meet all his expenses and for
large bonus besides was given to him for
that purpose.
The Secretary of War has given orders
for the completion Of tho fsh.wav at the
great falls of the Potomac.
A Boston capitalist al the capitol this
morning expressed the opinion that Mr..
Blaine would be the republican candidate
for the next Presidency, and that Mr.. Cleve-

tagonistic to the Interests CT the railroads
and all other sorts of invested capital, that
all those Interests would pool their gtiey-
ances against them, and subscribe an cleo.

afforded by universal suffrage for that fund
