yielding air pillow, and he has queer fanciss
concerning il. This morning he imagined Il
was in two pieces, and after DR.. Wagner had
placed it with the right side down Adler asked
to have the left side placed on the pillow also
without disturbing the right side in any way; in
other words he wanted both sides OF his face to
be resting on the pillow at ono time. Az
q general thing Adler, when not sleepy, is in 8
more or less delireus condition, but he still
possesses the power necessary TO concentrate
his mind. This power he exercises when any,
one speaks to him or when anyone moves In or
out OF the room. When aroused he can carry
on connected conversation on any subject,
but as soon 40 the discussion ceases his mind
at once recommences its wanderings.
WHY DIR. LINCOLN WAS CALLED IN.
The doctors still preserve the most profound
silence as to what was the immediate cause OF
DR.. Lincoln's being called into the case,
but it is known now that new and
alarming symptoms developed themselves.
and that IL was thought best to have
the advice of such skilled physician as DR..
Lincoln before attempting to treat the innova-
tions in the case. The most obstinate and least
e1plicable OF these is the rightly of the
muscles Of the arms and legs. This became
apparently only within the past three days, and
its cause has been the thing over which 20
much consultation has been held.
An OPERATION TO EXTRACT THE BULLET opNTRM-
. PLATED.
There can no longer be any doubt o. 10 the
intention Of the doctors. They have come to
the conclusion that Adler cannot, - things are,
live very much longer, but it may be that q
little careful surgical work would relieve him
Of q present source Of trouble and perhaps
lengthen his existence.
The probabilities are Ill In favor Of an opera
zion within the next twenty-four hours. The
Adler family IL satisfied with all that has been
done in the case, and IL u understood that
they cheerfully acquiesce In the proposition TO
operate.
Those who wonder ct the manner IN which
Adler has fought death for moro than seven
weeks may cease TO do 80 when they know that
during that period nourishment has been given
him almost BY wholesale. His consumption o.
milk alone to say nothing Of beet - ana
chicken broth) has averaged three quarts day.

about on the downtown streets are
making stupendous preparations for

proprietor of dysDepeia factory not
a thousand miles from this Office
commenced almost a week ago to
make pies. Inauguration pies. he
calls them. He makes dozens every
day, and az he commenced week
ago, the pies will average from a

visitors get them. They are good,

the outside portions less leathey. He
packs them in dry goods boxes. with
layers of paper between. and has hit
upon an ingenious scheme by which
he can use the pies in the order OF
their age. OF course. even these
leather pies will deteriorate slightly
with age, and this enterprising diges-
ton promoter wishes to use the old
est pies frst-before they deteriOrate
too much. So when he fills dry
goods box full of pies he nails 1t up
and marks top on the upper lid. and
when the box is opened it is turned
the other side up, and what was be.

him into fresh notoriety and trouble.

KEGS" The men who were the real
fighters in the last Confederate Army
are men who feel and express the
greatest respect for Yankee yaor.
Even Rosser ought to have remem.
bered that Lees hardest fighter,
"StonewaIl" Jackson. was the most
"Puritanical" of men.
But ROsser has peculiar personal
reasons for not provoking public dis
cussion as to Northern and Southern
fighting qualities. He happens to be
the one ex.rebel general who is i'm.
mortalized by ridicule in the abso-
lutely accurate "Memoirs" of that
unsurpassed fighter, Phil Sheridan,
who never failed to treat his gallant
foes with fairness and respect. Now
that Rosser has invited a review of
his war record we give him the ben.

manner in which he administered
exemplary punishment to the. vain
glorious rebel trooper.
