The President.
The news from'the President to-day is
favorable. He rested well last night.
There were no rigors and the attending
physicians state that the improvement
in his condition is plainly perceptible.
The President himself talks cheerfully of
his condition and of his prospects for re
covery. And all 01 tnis is in tne lace 01
the fact that ex-Surgeon General Ham
mond says that the chances are ninety in
the hundred against him.
Wfrih Knowing. v
As this js the season when we are in
fested with insects of all kind3, it is well
to remember that the prompt application
of an alkali to the bitten part allays the
irritation and commonly at once relieves
the suffering consequent upon a class of
injuries, which, although small, are often
exceedingly annoying and even trouble
some, especially in the case'of children
and persons with sensitive ssins. Soda
and ammonia will answer the purpose.
Disease imon? the Chickens.
And now we hear that there is a sort
of epidemic among the chicken?, which
is called a sort of apoplexy. The fowl
is in apparent good health and suddenly
f turns over, falls down, gives .a few kicks
and then shuffles off this mortal coil, and
nothing is left but the carcass of a dead
chicken. Some attribute it to too high
feeding, together with the bugs and good
scratching which the chickens get at
this season of the year in the way of
worms and so forth. Who now will tell
us what is good for chicken apoplexy,
or chicken cholera ? 1

Before the Major.
Tucker Townsend, the boy arrested
yesterday for attempting to steal brasses
from Captain Taft's little steamer, the
Biz, was discharged this morning by the
Mayor for want of evidence sufficient to
convict. The defendant in this case is
known to police circles and has been in
durance vile before. But as we already
stated, the evidence in the case was not
sufficient to convict, aad the prisoner was
released.
To-Oaf Weak..
Today week- the great question" of
i
Prohibition or Anti-Prohibition will be
decided. Both sides are badly scared
and are whistling to keep up courage.
It is a difficult matter to forecast the re
sult of the ballots. We think the full
prohibition vote will be cast and that
it is extremely doubtful if the Anti can
get out their strength, yet we would not
like to risk our reputation as a good
guesser by saying what will be the re
sult. - i
Gsat Hairs are Honorable, but
their premature appearance is annoying.
Parker's Hair Balsam is popular for

The Hog Cholera
A friend at Washington, Rappahan
nock county, Va., seeing in the Journal
an enquiry as to a remedy for hog chol
era, writes us as follows :
I see in your valuable paper, the
Journal, an enquiry about a remedy
for the hog cholera. I thought, as I
have been a reader of the Journal Tor
several years, ,that I would contribute
something to the welfare and benefit of
your other readers. The best preventive
is to take what we call burr dock root,
wash and slice it, keep it in the slop tub
and feed the hogs. I have examined the
agricultural reports from Washington,
written by able scientific men,
and they all agree that there is no sure
cure for the disease. I raise the wattled
breed of hogs, the best breed we have,
and while my neighbors have lost more
or less from the disease I have never lost
one. But some say that it is my super
stitious notions and call me an old fogy,
although ny neighbors now call on me
to get in the stock. I raise the Essex,
Berkshire, and Chester breeds. I wish
I could send you a pair of full-blooded
Essex wattled shoats.
The writer is an old and successful
farmer and his experience is worth not
ing by the stock-raisers in this locality.
We thank him most cordially for the
kind wishes he has expressed for tbe
Editor of this paper.
Kidney Complaints
ot all descriptions are relieved at once,
and speedily cured by Kidney-Wort. It
seems intended by nature for the cure of
all diseases of the kidneys caused, oy
weakness and 1 debility. Its great tonic
Dowers are especially directed to tne re
moval of this class of diseases. We
know of sersons that have suffered for
thirty years that have been permanently
cured bv taking Kidnev-Wort a short
time. Trv it. either liquid or dry. Sun.
Vennor'a Guesses at August.
It seems from the Canada papers that
Mr. Henrr G. Yennor has extended his
"revised" predictions so that they include
August in detail, as given in the follow
inff statement, which our readers should
cut out and paste in a convenient place
for reference: August 1 Probably
warm and oppressive; 2 and 5 Generally
pleasant weather, fairly warm, days, and
cool to cold evenings and nights; 6 Fair
and pleasant; 7 (Sunday) Heat and
storm; 8 and 10 Sultry weather, with
heavy showers, cooler evenings and
nights; 11-13 Heat again in the United
States, with cloudy, and sultry weather,
storms in Canada; 14 (Sunday) Cooler
change; 15 Cooler to cold andlcloudy
and pleasant; 16 Storms throughout
portions of Virginia; 17 and 18 Hail-j
storms and frosts probably in some por
tions; 19 and 20 Heat and storms; 21
Sultry and showery; - 22--Sultry and
windy; 23 and 24 Heat and wind; 25 and
26 Heavy storms on the lakes, on the

and 29 Cooler weather, with rains and
frosts in the northern section; 30 and 31

Capt- Paul Boy ton, of swimming fame,
in a recent communication says: Of late
carry a stock of St. Jacobs Oil in my
boat, and I have but little trouble. From
constant exposure I am somewhat subject
to rheumatic pains, and nothing would
ever Denemt me until l got noia oi uus
great German remedy. I would sooner
do without food for days than be with
out this remedy for one hour. In fact I
would not attempt a trip without it.

BroBght Up a Bomb Shell.
Yesterday morning a couple of young
men who were engaged in diving for what
ever they could find at the wharf of the
New York steamship, succeeded in bring
ing to the surface a very large bomb
shell with fuse and cap attached. They
tried to dispose of it at the junk store
but were warned not to carry that infer
nal machine near the store. They soon
found they had an elephant on their
hands and carried it to the edge of the
wharf ad dropped it back into the river.

Richard Cowan, the venerable darkey
whom we alluded to two days, ago as
having been arraigned before a Justice
of the Peace for assault and battery with
a deadly weapon upon the person of Ella
his wife, and whose trial was fixed at 11
o'clock yesterday morning, failed to put
in an appearance at the proper time yes
terday, and has since skipped the town.
His bondsman thinks, however, he will
have him here in a few days, and will
then have the extreme unction of seeing
him boarding at the hotel de Howard
until the Criminal Court convenes for
the August term.
Yon Bet!
We yesterday, on information furnish
ed us by a party whom' we deemed suffi
ciently well infermed'of the facts of the
case, stated that we heard that a Prohi
bitionist offered to bet an Anti-Prohibitionist
that the Prohibition bill would
not be defeated by 20,000 majority, and
that the Anti-Prohibitionist would not
take the bet. This afternoon we learn
that the bet was made and the money
$50, was put up this 2 P. M. The same
party who gave us this last information
states that the Prohibitionist was willing
to make another bet of a similar charac
ter, but could find no takers. .
Blrer Sews
No river steamers this week since the
departure of the steamer D. Murchison
on Monday. The steamer A. P, Hurt
is reported stuck in the mud 6 miles this
side of Fayette ville, and the North tstate
16 miles this side. The Murchison got
got as far as Cypress Creek, 40 miles from
Fayetteyille, and there the passengers,
who were bound through landed and
either rode or footed it the balance of the
way. The water in the riyer is reported
lower than it ever has been in the mem
ory of the oldest inhabitant before. The
crews of the flats or lighters belonging to
the steamer Hurt are made to get out and
walk in order to lighten the flats. This
will give our readers some idea of the
low stage of the water. i
The Hew Agent.
i The vacancy made by Mr. T. M. Em
erson's resignation as Assistant uener
al Frieght Agent of the Atlantic Coast
Line, has been filled by the appointment
of Mr. S. P. Collier, as uer announce.
ment made jesterday afternoon. We
congratulate the authorities of the Coast
Line on having secur ed the services of
Mr. Collier. He is an earnest, hard
worker and a faithful,energetic man, and
will, we are sure, apply his best energie8
to the fulfilment of the duties of his new
position. i i
Sheriff Manning, whose retiarn to this
city was expected several days ago, has
been detained at the North by another
attack of sickness. His return, however,
is looked for this week.
Haunted 5fe.
A Workingman says: "Dbt, porer
ty and suffering haunted me for years,
caused by a sick family and large bills
for doctoring, which did no 'good. I was
completely discouraged, until one year
ago, by the advice of my pastor, I .pro
cured Hop Bitters and commenced their
use, and in one 'month w e were all wll,
and none of us have been sick1 a day
since; and I waut to say to all poor men,
you can keep your faroilies well a year
