Gen. Grant to Dr. Douglas whilo on Jit,
McGregor, and in llio text of this partially

enca to a "provious letter" in liko strain
Tho prompting causes of that provious let
ter and tho lottcr ilsolf aro mado public as
follows: Gen. Grant reached Mount Mc
Grcgor on Juno lGth, and that night he
slept ten hours and well. Tho next after
noon tho gcnornl sat upon llio cottngo
piazza nlono and in deep thought. Sud
denly, as though after mature reflection ho
had formed a rcsolvo, tho general sum
moned his servant and started down tho
Htcps and walked to tho bluff of tho moun
tain. Tlicro no sat upon a rusue cnair
with Ills eyes brut to tho earth, his features
drawn and an intonso expression of intro
spection on his face, lloiiad sot himself to
do a test of his own strength. Ho wantod
a bnsis for a personnl judgment of Ills
condition, and ho found himsoli wcnK bo
vond ids expectations. Ho wont slowly
back to the cottimo and roachml his room
discournged nnd dishcarled, and that overl
ing, seated on tlio piazza, as tlio sun went
down tho general wrote a calm Btatemont
of his convictions as to Ills own condition.
Tliis ho hnnded to Dr. Douglas and it was
tlio "provious loiter" referred to in thogen
oral s reproduced lotter inmo Lenuiry,
iu hero L'ivcn:
It
Sinco coming to this beautiful climnto
and getting completo lost lor about ton
hours 1 have watched my pains and com
pared Ilium with tlioso of tho last fow
weeks. I can feel plainly that my system
is preparing for dissolution in threo ways:
Ono by hemorrhage, ono by strangulation
and tho third by oxhaustion. Tho llrst
and second aro liable to uoino at any mo

Tho timo for tho arrival of tho third can
bo computed witli almost malhomalical

I havo fallen off in woiuht and strength
very rapidly for tlio past two weeks. Thero

burden of pain as light as possible. I do
not want nny physician but yourself, but
I tell you, ho that if you nro unwilling to

other professional men, you enn send for
them. 1 dread thorn, however, knowing
Mint it means another desperato cllort to

'I hits it wns Dr. Douglas that night sent
for Dr. Hands, who ciuno uoxt day, and to

The amounts as cortilled, instead of being

Portland (Ore.) dispatch: Sinco tho
president's proclamation tlio feeling in this
city is that there will bo an ond to tho iinti
('hincso riots on Paget Sound. There aro
still in Tacoma about fifty Chinese Most
of them aro employed ns servants. They
remain indoors day and night, afraiil to
venture in tlio streets becauso of threats of
assassination. Nearly all other Chinese
havo been driven out and their houses
burned. A fcuturo of the expulsion of tho
Chinese from Tacoiua was that the mayor
took a prominent part in tho movement
and the Ledger, .vhich is tho leading news
paper there, endorsed strongly tho rioters'
action nnd counsoled the steps which were
subsequently takon. Tho Ledger, it is
said, refused to publish protests against
tho lawlessness over tho signatures of the
writers, anil used all its energy to inliiiii
dato tlioso in tlio community who wero not
opposed to llio Chinese. It is thought that
witnesses against tho persons indicted will
bo afraid to testify in open court at tlio
risk of having tholr lives taken and prop
erty destroyed by a mob.

Suppressions In the Impcaclimcnt Trial.
A Now York special says: Kx-Congresa-ninn
James M. Ashley, of Ohio, mover ol
tlio Impeachment against President John
son in the Thirty-ninth congress, was asked
concerning tlio facts related by Chauncey
M. Depow as having been told him by Gen.
Grant in a dinner talk of a plot by John
son to reinstnto tho robel leaders in nower.
j Ho said tlio allegations wero substantially
correct, lleing nsked why, if tho fact of tho
plot was known to tho managers ot tho im
peachment trial, they did not uso itagainst
tho presldont, Mr. Ashley said: "Tlio judi
ciary committee ot tlio house, to which was
referred tho resolution ot impeachment for
Investigation, was against impeachment,
and had differences among themselves.
Speaker Colfax had appointed men on tlio
committee who wero weak-kneed in tho
matter. 1 told Mr. Colfax ono day that lie
was standing so that ho could bo near
enough tho front to rush in if wo won and
near enough to tho rear to get safely out if
wo lost. The people stood in awe ot the
president, ami wero afraid to proceed to
extreme measures in the faro of his great
nower. lio had the whole secret service at
his sido. The neHp.tper in AV.ishington
which acted as his organ threatened war if
the impeachment proceedings wuro contin
ued. On tho !!oor of the house I accused
Johnson of being the leader ot a negative
rebellion, and of attempting to reinstate
the lost cause."
Was there anything in tho testimony be
fore tho judiciary commit too connecting tho
president with any plot to put the control
of the government into the hands ot the
rebel lenders?
"I wits not a member of tho judiciary
committee, and although I mado myself
acquainted with tlio first portions of the
testimony given before them, I found my
self at odds with the members of tho com
mittee, and absented myself from their
proceedings. They utterly refused to ex
amine many important witnesses against
the president brought forward by mo. If
Picsidcnt Johnson could have secured the
suprorl of tho general of tho army his
liliin was to install southern men in the
iuills of congress during the night and keep
out by force tho northern members who
had arrayed themselves against him. I be
lieved then, and said so in congress, and
believe now, that Johnson had known be
forehand of tho intended assassination of
President Lincoln. When 1 made that
statement on tho tloor of congress Speaker
Colfax culled mo to order, but alter the
KCfcsiou camo upon tho lloor nnd said lm
was sorry ho hyd dono so,"
WJty were these matters not brought for
ward in the impeachment trial?
"The evidence did not show that the
president had actually committed any net
in connection with the plot on which
specific charges could be mado. The
eleventh article ot impeachment, wns tiro
only one voted upon by the somite with a
view to what might be shown by the testi
mony concerning this matter. Thud Stev
ens, who sat behind mo lit congress for
many years, propurod tho article and 1
iissiktcd him before the final vote in thu
senate. Pons, ot Kansas, had promised
to vote for impeachment , but he went back
on his word and we lost our caso by one
voto."

THE CONDITION OF ARIZONA.
Tuo Governor of tlio Territory Submit
an Op I'M on on Hit Domain.
Gov. Trittlo, of Arizona, In his annual
report, says tho development of the min
eral resources of Arizona demonstrates
that tho territory affords tlio grandest
mineral field in tlio country. Ho esti
mates tho output of tho mines tor the
year ending Doc. 31, 1884, at about
$3,500,000 silver $300,000 gold bullion.
$,7C0,000 worth of copper. The yield of
the present year will equal that of 1884
Cattlo raising in tho territory is assuming
an importnnco second only to mining. Ho
tliinks thero aro 500,000 head of cattle in
the territory now. He recommends an ap
propriation for the sinking ot artesian
wells, with a view to tlio reclamation of
terilo lands. Tho population of Arizon.i
is placed at 80,000, and tho value of as
sessed property at $25,000,000. Tho gov
ernor, in touching on tlio Indian question,
refers to the "meddlesome cranks and east
ern sentimentalists, who still beliovo in th-
mythical noblo red men of Cooper's nov
els." The ncceptedi conclusion now. ho
says, is that tho Indians ot the far wcsl
aro either diseased, filthy, non-prodiicin.'
vagabonds, or cruci, treacherous beasts of
prey in human form. Ho recommends the
removal of tho trouhlesomo Apaches from
tho Snn Carlos reservation to tho Indian
territory or somo other suitable placo, or
else tlio narrowing of tlio boundaries of
their present reservation, disarming thorn
nud placing them under military survcil
lance.
NATIONAL CAPITAL NOTES.
The president has appointed Dorman B.
Katon to bo member of tho civil service
commission in placo ot Mr. Thomnn, whoso
resignation wns accepted, to lako effect
Nov. 1st. Tho, appointment is but a tem
porary one, howovor, as it is proposed to
appoint a pcrmanontsucccssor to Thomnn
in a short time. Katon consented to servo
on tho commission for tv few weeks in order
to assist the newly appointed commission
ers in familiarizing themselves witli their
duties nnd also to clnso up certain unfin
ished matters in which ho is greatly inter
ested. It is not known who will succeed
Katon beyond tho fact tlmt tho now tip
pointeo will be a republican, in full sympa
thy wilh civil service reform.
Washington special: Representatives of
the Knights of Labor allege that the public
press, in nscigniuy tho reasons for tho dem
ocratic victory iu New York", has quito
overlooked tho importnnco of that secret
organization as a factor in tlio result. One
of its ollicers, who is also in the govern
ment senieonnd spent somo days in Now
York and Urooklyn iu the interest of tlio
organization, says that its members there
voted witli ulinost unanimity for Hill, nnd
will claim that his success was duo to their
efforts. Hill's answer to certain questions
about tho labor questions ple.ibcd them
better than Davenport's did.
Tho president lins mado tho following ap
pointments: James A. Bayard, of .Mary
land, to bo secretary of Arizona; Joseph J.
Stranghnm, of Indiana, to bo survoyor gen
eral of Idaho; James Dawson, of Colorado,
to bo surveyor general of Colorado; John
Hiso, of Arizona, to bo survoyor general or
Arizona.
Tho commissioner general of tho land
olllco has refused to approvo tlio list of
lands selected by tlio Union Pacific railroad
company, including about 58,000 acres of
land in Washington territory, embraced
within tlio forfeited grant of tlio Oregon
Central railroad company. Tlio Northern
Pacific railroad company's lino from Port
land to Tacoma traverses a portion of tho
forfeited grant and that company claimed
tho track on tho ground that it had not
been withdrawn for tlio benefit of tlio Ore
gon Central railroad company. The com
missioner, iu his decision, holds that it is
immaterial whether tho lands wero with
drawn from tho Oregon Central, for as tho
tract had been granted in tlio first placo to
tho Oregon Central they could not have
been included in tlio grant to the Northern
Pacific, oven if any grants of land had been
extended by the joint resolution of May 31,
1K70, upon which tho Northern Pacific
basis its claim.

d George Peck, jr., tho family being absent
at Cheshire, Conn., and released Mrs

The woman is the widow of Aaron Drooka,
a s'lhiier of the war of 181L'.
She hail a littlo property in Soutington

Tho Itussian hnrvest of 1885 is abovo the
average for winter wheat but below for
spring wheat. Tho deficiency in spring
wheat is duo to drought. Ityo is slightly
abovo tho average. The oat crop is bad.
Other cereals aro below tho average. Hay
nnd fruit iw inferior. Tho total wheat
product is fu,000,0U0 quarters, which is
'20 per coat under an average.
Tho Irish question has for a moment
given way to tho religious question in
Uritish politici. Pnrnell is permitted to go
on arranging his campaign and nominating
liis candidates in Ireland pretty much as ho
pleases, while tho voters in England and
Scotland aro set by tho ears over tho ques
tion of disestablishing tho church. The
controversy lins become exceedingly bitter.
It has been described as "tlio combat of
tho established church fighting for lifo
against tlio dissenters struggling to destroy
tho stato monopoly of religion." Every
body in Great Pritain lias becomo dooply
interested in tlio contest and it is now
thought that tho result of tho elections will
hingo entirely on tho church question alono.
Insufficient Air.
No matter how perfect nro all other
hyfjienio conditions, good health can
not bo maintained if tho air supply is
iusuflicient. Tho purest air will becoino
vitiated, resulting in disease, especially
in consumption, unless there is a oon
btaut means of supply.
"When tho mortality from all causes
among tho metropolitan police of Lon
don was only 90 in 1,000, thnt of the
Poot Guards was 111 from consumption
alone. The barracks furnished tho lat
ter only about ono-fourth as much air
per man as is allowed in prison colls.
Tho armies of Europo generally are,
from a similar cause, characterized by a
largo mortality. During the Crimean
war, the rnto m tho English army was
2:3,2 per cent, of tho total strength ;
that of tho French 30 ; while iu our
civil war, with its open-air life, it was
less than G. Camij-fover mny bo almost
banished by cleanliness nnd fresh air.
In 1700 Dr. lirocklesby, having built
a largo shed as a hospital for wounded
soldiers, and tho mortality proving won
derfully slight, though tho treatment
was otherwise the samo as olsowhero,
said, " I candidly ascribe their fortunate
escape more to tho benefit of a puro,
hi i n air, which they breathed therein
every moment, than to ull tho mediciuo
tln-y took." Thus, over a century ngo,
In- stumbled on a law of hygieuo now

No expense wns spared in tho erection
of n new house for monkeys in tho Lon

had been wintered in England soveral
years, and wore healthy on entering
their new house. But in ono month llfty
of tho sixty wero dead, and tho rest
were dying, of consumption. Tho whole
trouble was that tho room was not prop
erly ventilated.

Let it not bo forgotten that, where tho

scattering it amongst tlio apples.
When your vessel is full cover down

the vinegar on cold and do not pool
tho fruit, but I prefer boiling vinegar
and tho rinds removed. Tho fruit
must bo perfectly dry and also kept
in a dry place after pickling.

A Man with a Cut's Eye.
A fow days ago wo saw a man who
had ono gray and ono brown eye.
This recalled to mind a man whom wo
knew boforo tho war in another State.
One of his eyes was black as coal, and
tho othor was a cat's oyo. Tho pupil
would contract ami expand, just as a
feline's. Wo nsked him why they
ditlerod iu color, and ho said:
When 1 was a ch.1.1 1 stuck tho
point of a pair of seizors in that eye.
Tho matter in It rm out of tho wound.
An old-country physioinn was called,
and said tho oyo could probably bo
saved by putting a cat's oyo in tho
placo. A cat was caught, treated with
oloroform, and whilo undor tho in
tluonco tho oyo was transferred to me.
In four or livo months I was abln to
go out of tho darkroom in which 1
had been kept, and could see hotter
Ihau ovor out of that eye. Why, I
can see in the night as good as 'any
man in tho daylight. Ameriaus (Go).
