Curiosity prompted us to-day to open a package of Blackwell’s Durham Long Cut put up a year ago and the tobacco was as fresh and sweet as if put up yesterday, so you may add that to the list of merits if you choose. Have you discovered those two features we mentioned yesterday? If not it must be because you forgot to get a package. Somebody is try ing this Long Cut, just who we can’t tell, but we know some people are investigating our claims by the way the orders are coming in. . This is exactly the same tobacco that we use in Black * well’s Durham Cigar- ettes, and is prepared in ex actly the same way and you know that means that the Long Cut is made from the best leaf tobacco in - the world and is absolutely PURE. The writer overheard two gentlemen talking about this Long Cut last evening. Said one “it has the finest flavor of any tobacco I ever smoked and I am satisfied it is perfectly pure.” So there is one man at. least who agrees with us. Honestly now, is’nt it a comfort when enjoying a pleasant, restful smoke to feel that you are not absorbing any injurious drugs, and are smoking the same quality of tobacco that a famous Em peror has- pronounced un equaled? When we came to Chicago to introduce our cigarettes some people asked if we were not afraid they would’nt sell. We never had any doubt of success, for we believed that our cigarettes were purer and better than any others and we thought we had only to tell you the honest truth to secure your patronage and now we are just as confident of grand success on ; this Long Cut. You see we think your in terests demand the purest and best goods and our in terests demand thfit we shall furnish them to you, so af ter all we are only managers of the business for you. This is why we have taken you into our confidence. . .. We were going to tell you to-day just how many of Blackwell’s Durham Cig arettes we have sold in Chicago in the last ten days but our census mans, is out now and we’ll leave' that till later. The way they are .going makes us wonder if somebody is'nt using them in place of coal, but after all it is’nt strange for merit will always win., “ " ** ®fj» (Ml mm. fznhrton* leaving the city /or the tnnvner teatonenn hare Thk TnrnUNK tnntfetllo tfir.fr nil ifrtsn at the foKuwfny ntU*, jtosUijn prepaid: Daily TuinuNE, per tnonWi, I/; iuclmfliitf Sim* (Ini/<**uc,l/.ai.

His organ, the liepnbWiHG Francaltic, is sarcastic on tho Ministers be cause they have os yet put forward no polit ical program, and La Paris, another organ, fiercely attacks Barth6lemy St Hilaire, the Foreign Minister, for havtpg conferred on Blulchroder, tho Prussian Financial Agent during tho Franco-Prusslan war, and who urged Germany to extort as'much money as possible-.from France, the? dignity of Com mander of tho Leglon^of^ojior., Tun Paris corrospoudonV.Of *U«r London- Tltncs says that the time of the French elec-, tlons was changed from October to August because Gen. Sausslenr, the French Com-* mandor In Algeria, had confidentially In formed the Government that an insurrection was likely to break out In Algeria In Sep tember which it would take a very largo force to suppress. It would bo Inconvenient for the Government that an antt-electlon agi tation should bo going on at the same time that a formidable insurrection was being combated. Hence the change. Tim Prcsldentcontlnues to Improve stead ily. lie has passed another favorable day. 'About ft o'clock last evening there was a slight rise In the pulse and In the tempera ture, caused by a stoppage of tbo drainage tubes, which prevented the regular ilow of tbo pus. When the tubes wore cleared tbe flow resumed and the fever subsided. It had passed away a little after 7 o'clock. From that time the President has rested quietly, and the favorable symptoms of'tho day have returned. The physicians were very hopeful last night. They regard the crisis as successfully passed, and think that there remains scarcely a doubt of the pa tient's ultimate recovery. Each day brines forth fresh particulars tending to prove Quiteau one of the meanest ruffians of this or any other country. Ills wife procured a divorce from him lu the fall of 18TJ, and the base rufllau was one of the witnesses against himself, and Induced the woman with whom he was guilty to take the stand also to testify that the charges of in fidelity against lilmwere true. At the time of the divorce Quiteau frequented the rooms of the New York Young Men's Christian Asso ciation, and was a member of Calvary Baptist Church and attended religious services there. It is duo to the church, however, to say that Quiteau was expelled, notwith standing that he whined and pretended peni tence for his Immoralities. This correspondence between Englandand Franco with regard to the Tripoli difficulty, has been published. Lord Granville told Lord Lyons, tho British Ambassador at Paris, that England considered Tripoli a part of the Ottoman Empire, and for that reason, as well os because Tripoli was so near £gypt> England would object- to Franco’s acting in Tripoli as It has-dono In Tunis. When this message was communicated to tbe French Foreign Minister he assured Lord Lyons that nothing was fur ther from the thoughts of France than- to occupy Tripoli, or to Inter fere with the integrity of the Turkish Em pire; and, further, that it would be "a great and real §orrow”l£ anything should occur to mar the cordial relations existing between England and Franco. The -French Minister urged that tbe Porte was to blame for all tbe trouble. Lord Granville, on bearing this, In structed Lord Dufferln to in turn Instruct tbe Porte to bo prudent and to give no plausible pretext for complaint to France.

Executtvb Mansion, July2B,ll:-T0 p. m.— Tlio slight febrile rise which first became no ticeable aboutSo’clock this afternoon reached its maximum at the evening examination, when the President’s pulse stood at KM and temperature at 100.5. Soon after that time both pulse and temperature began to fall, and at the present hour the patient's fever has nearly disappeared, and he Is resting quietly. No reasons are assigned by tbo attending surgeons for the reappearance of the febrile symptoms after an Interval of more than thirty-six hours of normal temperature. Tbo circumstance, however, causes no particular uneasiness, since tbo fever has almost subsided, and a slight fever In the evening has been n feature of tbo President’s ease every day except yesterday for two weeks. The patient was moved back to his owa room about 5 this after noon. Tbo President Is resting well at 13 o’clock. Tbo fever bas subsided, and bis symptoms are again of tbo most favoraDlo character. Secretary Blaine bas Just sent an encouraging dispatch to Minister Lowell. Postmaster-General James bas sent a dispatch to Now York stating that, after consultation with tbe physicians, bo is of tbo opinion that tbe President is In a very good condition, and that everything is of tbo most encouraging character. Despite the slight rise In tbo fever this afternoon, tbo President 1» la a bettor condition than for some days. STRONGER HOPE. TUB MOHNING. Bptcial DtipaUS io ITU CAkaot Trtturu, Washington, D.C., July 23.—The day open ed at the Wlilto'Xlouse with stronger hope and cheerfulness than any precedlngono. The President slept as quietly and soundly as tho night before, and awoke lu good spirits. There was no fever through the night, and none showed Itself until toward evening, making nearly two days without fever. The rise In pulse and temperature announced in the? o'clock bulletin were found to have been caused by the partial clogging of tho drainage-tube. The washing of this at the evening dressing restored tho flow from the wound and caused the fever to begin to decrease. The Presi dent enters upon the night with every promise of Its proving restful ami satis factory. To-day It was decided that tbo Presi dent oould readily boar being removed tempo rarily to another room. Tbo surgeons dorflrod to thoroughly purify tbo room be has occupied. It waa thought best to remove oarpots and .bangings and everything which oould absorb any of tbo odors of tbo sick-room. Tbo Presi dent was, therefore, rolled on bis bod Into an other room. Tbo first ono waa then cleaned with great thoroughness, and tbe oarpota and aome heavy bangings wore not returned. Tbo President was moved back to bta purified quarters toward evening. Tbo day’s obango to a different room waa a pleasant relief. Tbo old room is better arranged to control tbe temper ature. Tbo attendant# agree that tbo Presi dent's countenance is daily changing for tbe bettor, and shews clearly a progress toward a besltby appearance. He bas also gained some strength yesterday and to-day, Tbo attending surgopns speak with Increased confidence and hope. There have boon do indications, oltbor yesterday or to-day, which have given them tbo least additional concern. On tbe contrary, alt signs have been favorable. They continue, of course, to speak of tbo case as a serious one, and one yet besot with dangers, but, at tbe samo time, they all say that each day Is adding to their confidence. Dr, Hamilton telegraphed to friends to-dsy that ho found the President look ing better than at any time since tho shooting, and that his condition was regarded as satis factory. Cl The following cablegram vraa sent by Booro tary Blaine tonight; ■ "LoweUt &Uni*Ur, Londoni This afternoon the President baa shown some Inoreaao In pulao and temperature, but not sufficient to orcato uneasiness on the part of bis physicians.

Secretary Kirkwood said, at half-past 1 o'clock this afternoon, that bis Information was that tho President was decidedly bolter than at anv time since bo was shot. Tho Secretory said tho busi ness of tho interior Department bad not been Interfered with by tho Injury to tho President, exocut In tho mutter of appointments, and that there were few which required tho President's approval. In a fow Instances the persons whom tho Department thought ought to go out of olllco bad to hold On to tholr positions, but none ot those wero important, and, upon tho whole, tho Injury to tho President ban not retarded or disorganised tho working ot the Department. IN TUB POST-OFFICE DEPARTMENT there aro twelve appointments as Postmasters waiting for tho President's action, and, except this, the Injury to tho President has not Inter fered with tho regular business of tho Post- Ofllco Department. Nrw Yoiik, July 38.—The Brooklyn Eagle prints to-day the story of the proceedings in tho action brought in the Kings County Su premo Court. In tho fall of 187JJ, by Annie J. Guiteau against the now notorious Charles J. Guiteau for absolute divorce 'on the ground of infidelity. The case was referred to Levi A. fuller as referee to take testi mony, and the report and case came on for hearing in January, 1874. Mrs. Guiteau pro duced but three witnesses, and one of those was her husband, who, it appears, volun tarily attended, lie testified that he was tier husband, and had resided in Now York Stale for more than a year, which, ns the law then stood, was all that lie could testify in a divorce case to which lie was a party. The third witness was the principal one, and her appearance would Indicate that Guiteau helped to prove tho ease against him self." This witness was Clara Jennings, of Twcn ty-flrat street. Bbo testified that sbo bad known Ouitcuu since the previous August, and that tho charges of infidelity against him were true. It Is believed that QUITEAU SKCITUHn TIIK ATTRNDANCR OP THIS WITNESS, and It la said bo first informed his wife of bis In fidelity, and gave her tho necessary information to enable her to secure a divorce. Ho put in no defense. Tho referee reported In favor of tho plaintiff, and, on tho 4lb of April following, a motion was made before Justice Print to confirm the report of the referee, and between that date and tho 11th of the same month the Jndgo handed down a decision confirming tho report and signing a dccrco of divorce. In the fall of 187 U, when tho divorce proceedings wore In prog ress, and while Omtcau was carrying on bis liaison with Clara Jennings, bo was frequenting the rooms of TUB 2sKW YOKK YOITNO MF.N’S CniIISTIAN ASSOCIATION, usd bl 9 name Is ou tbo books of that Institution as u visitor. Ho was also a member of the Cal vary Baptist Church, and attended the religious sorviccsof that cburcb. After tbo divorce was grunted Gultcau was cited to appear before tbo Committee on Discipline of tbo Cburcb. and when bo appeared bo confessed bis Immoralities and professed penitence, but the Committee bad •no fulth In bis professions, and expelled blm from tbo cburcb. 7 r. m. -A Balloon-Story with Names and Fig* tires Which Aid lu Disproving Its Truth. Special DUvatth to TIM PMeaeo TVieuiw, Krokdk, la., July 23.—A farmer named Bcbenck, living near Moropbls, Mo., found lu bis curn-Qotd yesterday a bottle containing papers • wblcb proved to have been dropped from tbo balloon which left Milwaukee, Win., on tbe evening of July2s. Tno letter was signed Itobcrt L. Ulco, directed to bis father, G. 8. Uico, No. 240 State street, Chicago, and dated 11:15 p. m. July 20. Tbo letter stated that tbo balloon was la a gale, uncontrollable, aud going In a northwest erly direction; that it was partially destroyed; that bo was In great distress, end did not expect to sco them again. Tbo bottlo also contained a letter lu short-hand and a lock of balr. A reporter called during tbo evening upon Mr. Oerrlt 8. Ulco, a Professor of Music having bis office at tbe address mentioned, wbo Informed blm that be bad received during tbo afternoon a telegram containing substantially tbe state ments given in tbo above dlspatcb. Tbe Pro fessor staled that there must bo u mistake some where, ns bo was nut acquainted with anybody named Hubert L. Ulco, wbo certainly was not a son of bis. Tbo Professor added that bis oldest boy was 7 rears old. bad never developed any taste lu the direction of aeronautics, aud at tbo time tbo Interview occurred was probably sleeping soundly at bis homo In Englewood.

If they > did not think they could curry tho State, they did not need to advertise tho foot so thoroughly as they did up la that room.” Thb above very well describes tho situation this evening after the conference la over. Tho chloftuloa came to tho city from tho different sections of tho Btato with high hopes of great results from their session, but In that connection they board somo statements which cast a damper over the spirits of tno pro ceedings, and it is safe to say that they went away with a fardlffcront feeling from wbutthoy bad when they came boro. It was understood among those most Interested that tho confer ence held bore to-day was an adjourned moot ing of the State Central and Executive Commit tees from the State Convention of Juno 111, However, the following call was circulated a few daysnga: ••CoMTMnus, 0., July SO, 1881.—Dear Sin: Tho Democratic State, Central, and Exccutlxe Com mittees, the nominees on tho State ticket, and prominent members of the party from various portions of tho State meet at Toledo on tho 88th of the present month for the purpose of con sultation. You aro respectfully Invited to bo present. The proposed meeting is not known to the public, and Ills desirable that for tho pres ent It shall be known to our friends only.

A general meet ing was arranged fur, to take place la tbo morning, and at It):UU o'clock the members of tbo Committee ond visitors assembled In a reception room of tbe Uoody, There were also a number of local politicians present, although the absence of Frank Hurd and several other local statesmen was quite conspicuous. Tho meeting was culled to order by JbhuU. Thomp son, who stated that tbo object of this gathering was u free and full consultation ou matters of pulley for tbe coming campaign, and that every one present should foul free to express bis views, it was noticeable that tho candi dates were all present except Johnson for Lieutenant-Governor, and the calling of tho roll showed that tbo districts wore nil repre sented on tbo Central Committee either In per son or by proxy. Tbe meeting, It should bo stated, was a sort of somi-prlvuto one, but tbo members of tbo press present, Including Tub Tut hunk’s representative, were allowed to re main,—a piece of courtesy tbo Democracy could 111-nuord. considering tbe shocking statements made during tho progress of tbe meeting. _ Tbo llrst speaker called on was Senator Q. 11. Pendleton, of Cincinnati, who said that bo bad no especial views to submit us to tbe oouduet of tbe campaign. Ho generally was content to belp tho lighting rather tbuu the planning. Ho was very glad to see such a large attendance, and all At snub good spirits. It certainly wits mi omen of success. Tbo speaker said that be bud boon out of the Btntuu great deal of late, but bad generally found much enthusiasm In tho Democratic cause. One great danger now was lu ovcrcanUdeuco In success, but a service of great strength would be In tbo character and wisdom of our local organizations, and in nominating good, true, and bouorublo men for tbo local olllccs. Judge Bingham, candidate for tbe Supremo Bench, was then called out, and said that bo might add ouu other point, and that was tho necessity of a thorough organization and tbo Importance of bringing all Democrats out to tbo mills. This Is an o(f year, and It Is not likely that there will be so much en thusiasm ana excitement In tbo Hepubllcaa ranks as there was last year, which was then largely aided by tbo use of money, etc. Then there are the disaffection! lu tbe party of tbo State ou account of tbo prohibition question, and outside by reason of the National schism at Washington. Tho Democratic plan undoubted ly was a (inlet campaign, and to get lu solid work without any excitement which would tend to force tbo Hcpubllcan forces. There will probably bo some meetings necessary, but they eau generally bo arranged for by tbo local com mittees. , Mr. Bpeer, tho Temporary, Choirman of the Columbus Convention, was culled to bis foot, and said that tbe campolgnwas la tbo bands of a youthful and vigorous committee, and be thought nil question of policy should bo loft to tourn. Mr, Bpeor' alluded to tbo - three strong planks of tbo plntform.-vlx.: Olvll service reform, prison labor, and also tbe In timidation of voters by employers and moneyed men generally. Tbo Hopubllean party seems to bold the money-bugs, and • the growth of corporate power meanwhile hna been Immense and . prominently , danger ous. “ Lot not tbe . inttoenoo brought to boar on tbo workingmen last year, on the theory that tbo factories would all be closed If tho workingmen did not veto tbe Uepublioan ticket, etc., bo repeated this year, We must not allow tbe Hepuullcans to* select the battle ground. Wo must force tbo lighting right from tt Mr. > Bpear’s remarks were warmly applauded, and Gen. Andrews, of Auglaize, was then called fur. Oou. Andrews said that be did not believe that tbe party should bo Incumbered by national questions, but there should bo an act ive guerrilla warfare la all the coun ties. The speaker said that It must nut be concealed that tbe Democratic party would have a very serious element to contend with In tbe movement of sympathy and support that would bo extended to President GarUoldia ibla; attempt made to take bis life* Ttto “iiV W»> *ll n«trt aooiwv Sut to ass tbo people of tbo to TbJ r Uon. John L. Vanco, of OalUpolis. was next Introduced as representing tbe mining region, and proceeded to '.ton the meet- » Ing tbo great - trouble • . which they bud to contend with la . bis section ol tbe State, and that was tbe importation of \ negro voters by tbo hundreds and thousands • from West Virginia by half a dozen or more steamers, which - landed tnetn but year ut Galllpolls and other point*. Tbo spook or told tbo Committee plainly that, unless there; was a thorough organ isation In every county and township, • tboyoould not hope to carry tbe State. With tbls organisation there might bo some hope. Mr, Frank O. Dougherty, of Canton, candi date for Attorney-General, was called ; out, and made a . few remarks for j the good of the Order, in • which j be called tho attention of the mooting to th*-» senous dissensions in tbo UepobUoan party 00/ tho PreiUbiaoDgunUoa* Uwvweri Kimhooves./ 1
