A Washington dispatch says that a
council with a delegation of Dakota Indians
took place at the Interior Department. The
object of the consultation was to secure for the
Ponoas under Standing Bf ar permanent homes
in Dakota on their old reservation or as near
it as possible. The Omahas declined to sell
any more land, and said they would rather Bell
to white settlers than Indians. The "Winneba-
goes gave a like answer, but "White Thunder,
speaking on behalf of all the Sioux tribes, said
the fend the Poncas wanted was only a small
corner of their reservation, and they would
give it to the Ponoas and welcome them as a
part of their nation, having all the rights and
privileges of the Sioux people. Secretary Kirk-
wood aiiked how much the Sious wanted as
compensation; This seems to be the final conclusion o? the long-<kawn-out Ponca controversy.

Wasbxkgtoh, Atsg. 18.
There was a slight improvement in the President's condition yesterday. He slept well last
night, the pulse has shown a steady diminution,
and there has been no recurrence of fche vomiting. The fears of blood-poisoning have been
dismissed. A teaspoonful of beef juice and a
few drops of muriatic acid were given twice in
the afternoon, and a spice blister put on the stomach. Tha p£t-
tient's weight has lessened seventy
pounds Eince the assassination, and his face is
represented as haggard and blanched. The
physicians have decided nofc to administer food
in the natural way for some time to come.
Tvrenty ounees of nutritive substances are
daily injected into the President's system.
It appears clear to the medical attendants of
the President thafc his critical condition was
caused Biniply by a form of dyspepsia. While
the effort; was being made to increase the vitality of the body and fortify ifc forthe exhaustion
attending the suffering and constant discharge
from the wound, the diet was too rapidly increased and produced the relapse. The discovery of this fact will be productive of
beneficial results in the immediate future.
Moro patience will be exercised, and the building up of fche sysiiem will be slower and surer.
Dr. Bliss believes that by the time the President recovers from tlie gastric attack the
wound will be healed. It is already far advanced in the healing stage, and the resumption of the lunctions of the stomach will be the
only thing needed to bring the patient fco the
long-looked-for convalescence. Mrs. Garfield
bears up bravely, and her confidence in her
husband's recovery remains unshaken. A citizen of New York, describing himself as in robust health, has offered his blood to save the
President by transfusion. tf
Dr. Baxter, who has been the President's
physician for ten years previous to the shooting, says that, although of stalwart physique.
Gen. Garfield suffered much during the time
he attended him from chronic dyspepsia and a
delicate stomach, brought about by his sedentary habits and mental strain. He said that
the President was in the habit of eating
too rapidly, without proper masticatioD, and
also made a practice of sitting up late at nighfc
over his books or m considering public business. These habits had the effeot of increasing his dyspeptic condition. Dr. Baxter thinks
that the" attending surgeons, have not given
these facts as much, attention as the circumstances called for.
Among the vasfc number of dispatches received at the White House was one of a personal charaoter. from Queen Yietoria, whioh
was answered by Mrs. Garfield.
Secretary Blame, who was in Augusta when
he firsfc heard the news of the last unfavorable
change in fche President's condition, returned
to Washington yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon, while McGill, employed
as a guard in fche jail, was passing Guiteau's cell
he noticed the occupant employed apparently
in paring his nails. McGill approached the
cell and asked Guiteau what he was doing.
Gulteau said Le was doing nothing, and on
McGill asking what he was doing with the knifo
the scoundrel mado oath, fchafc he had none.
The guard called on him to drop it, wheroupon
the murderouB ruffian jumped up and attempted to stab him. McGill pulled hisrevolver, Guiteau grappled him, and in the struggle the revolver went off. Tbis brought other guards, and
Guiteau was secured. The knife, which ha
swore he had not, was found under his foot
Itis made of steel, is five or six inches in
length and rather sharp. Guiteau, after being
disarmed, raved and affected insanity. How
he came in possession of the knife has nofc been
ascertained.
Washthgtok, Aug. 19.
A Btrqnger pulse, a better feeling of the skin,
retention of nourishment derived from ene-
mata, and the excellent tone of the President's
mind, are mentioned as unmistakable indications that the crisis is paafc and the road to recovery again regained. The fact thafc the
President is'able to procure refreshing sleep
without fche use of anodynes is pointed to as
one of the most favorable features of
his case.  The irritation of the stomach has

.condition. Some alarm was created yesterday
among the unmedical bythe appearance of a
swelling* of the parotid gland hear the right
angle ofthe jaw. This, however, occasions no
uneasiness among the professional men,
being merely regarded s& an indication of a debilitated system, the result of a low tone of the
blood, and nofc figuring in the case one way or
another^ Agnew inf ormed Mrs. Garfield that
the only thing needed for the rapid recovery
of the President was the improvement of the
digestive power of the stomach.
Warden Crocker, of the Washington jail,
yesterday handed Guiteau a postal-card from
his sister, Mrs. F. M. Scoville, of Chicago, asking aboufc his healfch# The assassin requested
thafc she be informed fchafc he was praying daily
for the recovery of the President, and regretted
his deed.
"WAsmsaTOH, Aug; 20.
The President continues to improve slowly,
and is much better this morning than at any
time since the recent relapse. His sleep lasfc
nighfc was of a refreshing character. Yesterday he 1 artook of twenty-two ounces of liquid
food through the mouth, ai^il there were no
symptoms of gastric disturbance or nausea.
The inflammation of the parotid gland has
subsided, and fcae fear of suppuration
therefrom has disappeared. The wound
continues to secrete healthy pus, though in
daily diminishing quantities. The temperature*
and pulse are in a much better condition. The
phyofcians believe that the patient is gradually
recovering his powers of digestion, when
his general improvement will be more marked.
Thus, with the close of the seventh week,
there is a brighter prospect for the
sick man. The physicians have given
hopeful assurances to the Cabinet Ministers
that unless other serious complications should
arise the President will continue to improve.
Col. Waring, a sanitary expert, is giving
the White House a thorough examination.
Among the lafce letters of sympathy
received yesterday was on« from the

President Garfield's condition has changed
considerably for the worse. The swelling of
the parotid gland continues, and the inflammation resulting occasions the patient great unrest A dangerous feature of the new trouble
is nausea and vomiting:, cauped by the effort to
dispose of saliva resulting from the swelling.
During yesterday the nourishment taken was
vomited, and. the patient refused further food.
The physicians are prepared for the worst,

that, although the President may live several

the woods forty miles from tlie nearest

"Never."
"Did you ever have to go barefoot in
snow four feet deep ?"
"No."
"Ever shake with the ager right along

"No."
"Dod rot your pampered countenance, of course you never did] What
did you ever do towards making Michigan the great and glorious State shenow

"Well, Tve run a lawn-mower.'"
" Bun a thunder to blazes! How many
acres of forest do you *spose I've cut
down?''
"Two."
"Two! Why, you onery^yena, my
old woman has dashed down over forty
herself, and she's left-handed, at that!
I calkerlate, sir—-I solemnly calkeriate
that I've cleared ofi at least 300 hundred
acres of the toughest kind of forest.

"Gettrusted! Corner grocery! Why,
you infernal young lunatic, wasn't 1 located forty miles from the nighest grocery ! That's what I've been telling you

"Yes, but why didai't you get out ?"
"Git out? What fur?"
"Why, you might got oufc and lived

We generally end here. The old native chokes and gasps and jumps up and
down and kicks his hat into the street
and goes away saying:
"Them durned pampered idiots of

Grood Manners.
It is a, mistake to regard manners as
something external or distinct from the
nature, to be put on or taken off at will.
The bearing to which we instinctly accord respect ia the outward blossoming
of an inward growth, and bears the same
relation to character that the flower does
to the plant, not absolutely necessary to
its existence, but a graceful expression
of internal qualities which give it strength
andvigoi%
Some foreigner once said of Abraham
Lincoln that he was a grand gentleman
in disguise.
In him the outward expression, thongh
far removed from a Ohesfcerfieldian polish,
was still so true to qualities to which the
world accords its highest respect thafc it
becajne. a. good, manner of its own, and
thus proved the truth of the assertion in
regard to growth.
A fine manner presupposes a certain
force of character and firmness of purpose which invest the owner with composure and self-respect. A certain
equipoise which enables him to possess
his soul hi peace, where a mind thafc is
not so ballasted goes careering about to
every breeze, a source'of discomfort te
itself and all who behold it. It also
presupposes a Mnd heart and a quick
sympathy for others. There are native
characteristics wanting which a smooth
exterio^r is of little real value.. Shall we
not then cultivate good manners ? May
We not acquire a gentle courteous demeanor to which we may not have been
born ? Most assuredly, but unless we
conform to the law of development just
exxu-essed, we shall achieve no success
worthy of the name. Lefc us suppose a
harsh vindictive nature assuming the
gentle maimer of one who feels and lives
unselfishly.
■Jn a moment of forgetfulness, and .
such moments will come, the mask drops j
off and discloses the real man that lives
behind it For those who behold the
disclosure there is no possibility of forgetfulness, and for them the mask will
nofc only fttil to do its work, but wiil produce a sense of incongruity that will
give absolute discomfort. Duplicity
never succeeds to any great extent. A
greater amount of thought and force
must be given than with a higher motive
would be necessary to insure "the genuine
feeling.whose outward expression we
desire. * If we feel kindly we shall acfc
kindly.
A papeb in Chicago having said that
that city uses 70,000,000 gallons of war
ter daily, the Baltimore American^remarks chat "half that amourt is made
into beer, and the other half is used to
scald the bristles ofl of hogs."

Mexico is generally estimated at greatei?
than that of any other country. - Binso
the Spanish conquest, SOO years ago, tho
only large Mexican exports have been
gold and silver. AbSat 5,000 raises
have been developed, and some that
were worked by the Aktees, before the-
days of Oortez, are still yielding rich returns to their English and German owners. Bich mines exist throughout nearly
the entire length of the country, and
quite two-thirds of its breadth among
the Cordillera valleys, table-lands and
spurs or ridges. In fact, ifc is fche mines
that have built the ancient inland cities
of Mexico, and in nearly every city
there ^'is a Government mint. In har-
boxs - and rivera-Mexico is wanting;''"
"With the single exception of Guaymas,
there is not a decent harbor on either
coast, and-there is no navigable river.
Americans will find this picluresqus
neighbor of ours well worth closer acquaintance, and there is lifctle doubt
that, with the completion of these roads,
there will be a very large crowd of visitors to that country, many of whom

A True Fish Story, ,
A country hotel's gii&st went forth to-
fish. He splashed himself with brook
mud, toro his clothing and hair in underbrush, and at the close looked like a
volunteer at the close of Bull Bun. At
night he strode up to the hotel and exhibited thirteen trout to the veranda's
occupants, and related how easy th&
trout came to grief, how he climbed
fourteen trees to unhitch the line, and
how inferior the r suit was compared
-with what he usually,'accomplished.
At that moment # boy came up, well
out of breath, and exclaimed: "Mister, ma says I cau't sell yer. them fish j
they's promised to another man; here's
yer money."
