The Caonfortable Mtaaer In Which He

[New York Times.]
We also hear that the Czar has left
his army, and is now at Fratesti, near
Olurgevo, it is impossible to say whether
he is or is not there, but a machine for
making ice has been sent forward with.
in the last three or four days for his
special service, although the railway
employee are instructed to declare that
it Is for the use of the ambulances. The
Emperor's butler certainly still remains
at headquarters, and his agents at 81g
tova and Simnit#a are indefatigable in
in their efforts to give proper food to
their imperial master and the eighty
)ersons who compose his regular suite.
Speoial couriers bring down fresh food
and all the delicacies of the season
every morning from Bucharest, for
Bulgaria just now is not pre
olely a land flowing in milk and
honey. The army, indeed, is said, and
the sources of my information are too
Philo-Bussian to be disputed, to be in
want of everything, The men refuse to
eat aught but bran or rye bread, which
has run short, the wells are dried up,
meat in sufficient quantities cannot
always be procured. Besides, the
phus has broken out, and with it the
tery; Gen, Ignatieff is dangerously
all the imperial aides de camp save
one are in their beds and the rank and
file are dropping od like sheep with
the murrain. Still the men and officers
keep up with wonderful fortitude; one
hears no murmurs nor complaints, but
all are ready to go out to fight and die
for their Czar and their faith as cheer
fully as if they were marching only to
the parade ground.
The campaign, or rather this phase of
the campaign, is nearly over; no one
l atakes any secret of the fact that all
~jas.Balkan operations are abandon
... d, at least for this year, and that after
a renewal of their efforts against the
lines of Plevna, which will be persisted
in at any sacrifice until they are con
quered, the investment and seiges of
the fortresses of Bulgaria will be regu
larly undertaken, even if these npera
tipns entail the necessity of a winter
campaign. In short, we are about to
see a mere repetition of the perform
ances of 1828 and 1829.
.ORTON'N CONDITION.
The news concerning Senator Morton's ill
ness is quite as contradictory as that which
the cable brings from the jumbling war corre
spondents., For instance one special telegram.
dated August 27, says:
"Senator Morton has been improving stead
ily since Saturday noon, statements to the
contrary notwithstanding. He has xbeen en
tirely free from local pain or any considerable
general discomfort. lHe slept naturally more
than seven hours during the night, and
awakened this morning greatly refreshed,
and after taking nourishment the daily news
was read to him, upon which he commented
with his aecustomed thoughtfulness and
brevity. The Senator has tben far better and
more cheerful to-day than at any time since
last Tuesday, when the acute attack of indi
gestion was first manifested. lie takes his
nourishment without discomfort, his pulse
and temperature are normal, his sleep refresh
ing, and every hour gives evidence of increas
ing strength and improved general appear
ance."
Then another special telegram, same date,
D"Dr. Thompson acknowledges that the fifth
pair of nerves are very much affected, and
this confession shows that the terrible disease
has reached the brain. The eyelids droop,
and the corners of the mouth hang down,
and when the tongue is protruded it is at one
side of the mouth. Col. Starr, a neighbor
living next door, was aroused in the night,
during the Senator's late crisis, and called
upon to sit at his bedside. He makes a very
interesting statement as to the Senator's
bearing. He was conscious most of the time,
but was utterly broken up. He laid
his hand in Col. Starr's, and made
him hold it till morning. At times he
gave way to tears, and liad his family
called about him, and in the most tender and
affecting manner told them how dearly he
loved them. He evidently felt that the end
was much nearer at hand than it was. His
great apprehension is that he may lose his
mind. He appealed to ('Col. Starr to know if
he thought his mind was failing. The colonel
evaded the question, and the Senator said:
'Well, if it is failing. I might as well be dead.'
If no new complihcations arise the Senator
may mend slowly, but he will never leave
the house unless he is carried out. Strong as
his constitution and his iron will are, they
can never make him the man he was when hlie
last filled his seat in the Senate. I venture
the prediction that he will never see that seat
agai. He and his friends fully realize this,
but are loath to confess it.

WASHnOGTON, Aug. 27.-Postmaster General
Key has not been very happy since returning
from his New England trip. His Southern

marked copies of Southern papers from all
portions of the South, which criticise in the
vigorous Southern way those passages in his
Xew Hampshire speech in which he spoke of
his old poltical and Confederate associatesas

of their doing very serious damage.

A correspondent of the Iberville

Cotton has been failing seriously since

Worms are all over the parish. The

We can hear of comparatively little
injury done to the cotton crop in this
county, so far, by the worms. There
are planters very apprehensive that se
rious injury will yet be done. There are
many others who do not apprehend se
rious injury. Over in Louisiana already
serious injury has been done in some
places, but so far as we can learn, wher
ever Paris green has been used in time
it has destroyed them and relieved ap
prehension.-[Natchez Democrat.

The people of Thorp's Springs are ad
