"WAHPETON, DAKOTA,
About twenty states have legislative
lessions only once in two years, and it
ib said not one of them contemplates go
ing back to the old plan. The aggre
gate of legislation with biennial sessions
is reduced by one-third to three-fifths,
it is conclusively shown that the bien
nial session consumes no inore time than
I single annual session.
Washington Monument, despite all
assurance to the contrary, is said to be
'getting out of plumb," on account of
.nsufficient foundations. The Scientific
American, in referring to this report,
lays that the condition of the founda
tions forms a good subject for examina
tion and discussion, and it trusts that it
will receive attention by the most com
petent judges.
The Lick telescope, of California,
when completed and mounted, will be
the largest instrument of the kind in the
world. In looking through this tele
scope it is reckoned that the moon will
be brought within thirty miles of the
earth, and that discoveries will be made
on that planet to solve problems that
'have heretofore been held to be unsolv
able.
The English papers are startled by
the announcement^, that ex-President
Arthur returns to the practice of law.

"This is better than Cincinnatus and

Should we ever be released, rest assured
there will be nothing on our part to cause any

us in this dark hour. Eight yeai-s is along time
to be shut up in a prison. I received a letter
from Maj. J. M. Edwards a few days ago. He will
do all he can for us. I was in hopes my friends
in Texas could get the help of the representative
men in .that state to use their influence in our
behalf. I think CoL Vard Cockrell of Missouri
could do much. Of course everything rests
with Gov. Hubbard of this state, but the more

never knew him personally. I soldiered under
CoL Vard and helped him in two of his hard

feel very grateful for the help of all, and would,
as far as in my power, return all favors. You
will please call and see L. Jones and family,

Another British Battle With tho Arabs.
While detachments of English and Indian in
fantry were makings zareba seven miles south
west of Suakim on Sunday last, they were sud
denly surprised by a rush of Arabs who were
massed and concealed in the defiles west of
Hasheen. The English formed a square as
fuickly as possible, but the camels, mules and
ftiorses were driven back in confusion on the
troops, causiug a stampede, and amid clouds
of dust the Arabs penetrated the south and
north sides of the square. Meanwhile the mari
nes and Berkshire regiment who were on the
east and west sides of tne square, main
tained a continuous fire, holding the enemy
at bay, while a charge of cavalry and fire
from tne guns at the Hasheen zaraba checked
the onslaught of the Arabs, which at the out
set threatened serious disaster to the British.

The following will appear in the Medical
Record on Saturday:
During the past week the local diseass of
Gen. Grant has shown no marked tendency
toward progressing ulceration. At.the recent
weekly oonsultation Dr. Fordyoe Barker was
nnavoidably absent Drs. J. H. Douglas,
Henry B. Sands and George F. Shrady. Who
were present, made a thorough examination of
the general's throat with a view of discussing
the expediency of a surgical operation for the
removal of the growth. Snoh a measure would
involve the division of the lower jaw in the
median line, the extirpation of the entire tongue
and the greater part of the soft palate, to
gether with the removal of the ulcerated
and infiltrated fauces and indurated glan
dular structures under the right1 angle of
the lower jaw. This was considered mechan
ically possible, despite the close proximity
and probable involvement of tissues adjoining,
the large arteries and veins in the neighbor
hood of the ulceration bntinthe best interests
of the distinguished patient the surgeons did
not feel inclined to recommend tho procedure.
Even by such means there oould be no guaran
tee, in view of the extensive surrounding in
filtration,' that the limits of' the disease would
be reached without immediate risk to the life
by a severe shock to the constitution already
much enfeebled. His vital power is so low
that for the preeent, at least, no kind
of operation will be undertaken. The
ulceration on the side of the tongne has not
regressed far enough to produce the usual
pain reported with, that condition
but should the latter symptoms appear it may
be advised to divide the gustatory nerva The
general tone of the patient's system remains
about the same as at Iastieports, notwithstand
ing he has suffered much from insomnia. The
latter, within the last day or two, has been kept
under control by suitable anodynes. There is
no pain in swallowing, and sufficient food is
taken with reasonable relish.
A PHILADELPHIA. CONTB1BUTION.
The Philadelphia Medical News this week
will say editorially, concerning the disease
from which Gen. Grant is suffering:
Lingual apithelioma, as a rule, rapidly pro
issesjoward fatal termination When left to
itself. The life pf the patient, from the first
appearance of the disease, varies in accordance
with the estimate^ of different observers from
five to thirteen months, the averageJtieing sev
en months. Death ensues first from ''generali
sation oi the disease secondly, from the in*
halation of pqtnd-'emanations, which result
from decomposition of the products of the ul
coratedeurfacs third, from starvation through
the 5g|Msure jbf Infiltrated lymphatic glands
and sBrroundin^' parts upon tho oesophagus,
thereby interfering with deglutition and
lastly from hemorrhage ,• proceeding
from ulcerated lingual arteries or
vessels of the neck. The duration of the life
ot those who survive an operation averages
nineteen months. Not only does operative in
terference prolong life and relieve suffering,
but it effects a cure in 14 per cent-of all eases
In obtaining .these results it -£nust' be remem

fttut Peara ZTot Death but Disgrace.
New York dispatch: Gen Grant is reading
more, about the trial of James D. Fish than
anyoody can who relies on the published re
ports, for the newspapers squeeze each day's
proceedings into a quarter to a half column,
while he gets a stenographic, verbatim report
Gen. Grant's inability to sleep come not so much
from condition of the body as from unrest of the
mind. He has it firmly rooted that he is going
out in disgrace and under a cloud, and all that
his friends can say to him in no wise changes
this belief. He talks very freely with cer
tain of his intimates on the eubject, and he tells
them of his mortification and chagrin that he
should have been duped by Ward, and that so
many persons should have lost money by him
He thoroughly understands, and indeed it is the.
truth, that Ward used the name of Grant to
oarry on his schemes, and that many persons
were led into them because they had confidence
in Grant And so Grant, with a mental disease
upon him, and'conscious that his end,.is at
hapd, rests with wakeful eyes day in and
day out and thinks, thinks, -thinks. He tells
