Monday, August 22 , 1881. 
During the week past the bulletins and news¬ 
papers have been scanned for the latest news from 
the President, with quite as much eagerness and 
anxiety as when he was flrBt Bhot. On Sunday 
night the 34th he suffered another relapse, owing 
to the extreme weakness ot his stomach and Its 
conseqent inability to retain food. Ills pulse rose 
rapidly to 130©, which, with vomiting and nausea, 
made even bis attendants fearful as to the result. 
He was so low on Monday night that all hopes of 
his recovery were, by some of hts attendants, 
given up, aDd the general Impression upon the 
public who watted in suspense for the bulletins, 
was that bis recovery was impossible. However, 
the slight nourishment he was able to take aided 
him much in passing this—another one of those 
terribly critical points in his case. The physicians 
did not attribute the relapse to the wound, which 
was doing exceedingly well they thought, but 
the whole trouble originated with stomachic weak¬ 
ness. On Thursday the 16th, another complica¬ 
tion was added to the President’s case In tho In¬ 
flammation of the parotid gland, the principal 
salivary gland situated beside the front and lower 
portion of the ear. The swelling which was very 
painful, was caused, It Is thought, by putrescent 
matter In the blood, which, if true, is a very dis¬ 
couraging symptom. 
Later, Monday. 8. A. M,—Up to Saturday 
morning there was considerable cause for en¬ 
couragement concerning the President, but on 
Saturday ulgbt he did uot rest well and the swoll¬ 
en gland caused considerable annoyance, the ac¬ 
cumulations ot phlegm producing much discom¬ 
fort. At noon, on Sunday, vomiting again took 
place, oaused.lt was thought, by the effort to 
eject the phlegm. He vomited twice during the 
afternoon and aB a result was much weakened. 
Dr. Bliss doeB not contemplate any serious result 
from the swollen gland, and is as confident as 
everotthe President’s ultimate recovery. Mrs. 
Garfield still keeps up great courage and has faith 
he will survive the terrible ordeal. At midnight of 
Sunday the annoyance from the gland was repor¬ 
ted much less, and there was no further trouble 
from the stomach. 
Latest— 13.30 a. m.— Tbe President has not vom¬ 
ited since yesterday afternoon and this morning 
has twice asked for and received a small quantity 
of liquid nourishment. He slept well during the 
night and this morning his condition is considered 
a little more favorable. 
The Mrs. Garfleld fund now amounts to over 
$ 155,000 subscribed.

Ex-S enator Dorsey, the grand Jury at Santa Fe 
has Just found, holds a large portion of his New 
Mexican estate ot 12,000 or 15,0 00 acres on a title 
which runs hack to a large number of fraudulent 
entries. The land is highly valuable for its con¬ 
trol of the water-supply of a large region, and 
was taken up, In part at least, under the desert 
land acts. These limit each person's entry to one 
8quaremlle, too small an extent to beheld with 
profit by any one person In the case ot true desert 
lands, and larger tracts are taken up In almost 
every instance by collusive entries, sometimes 
wholly fraudulent, and nearly always ontaido of 
the spirit of the law, even If within Its letter, in 
Dorsey’s case, his character leads to the worst con¬ 
clusion.The last N. J. Legislature went wild 
on sugar bounties and voted a bounty of a cent a 
pound on beet-sugar and *1 a ton on the sorghum 
cane from which sugar is made. As a fertile acre 
will yield from is to 20 tons of cane, the bounty 
Is likely to cost the state a pretty penny before it 
can he repealed.It Is conceded that India 
can grow better tea than China, since i860, when 
the imports of Indian tea to England first reached 
1,000,000 pounds, the growth of the trade has been 
rapid and continuous. At the end of the first 
decade, in 1870 , the quantity Imported was 13,000,- 
000 pounds, while last year, at the close of the sec- 
ond decade, the Imports were 45,000.000 pounds, of 
the estimate value of * 15 , 000 , 000 . The area of land 
now under the plant la over 200,000 acres, repre¬ 
senting an investment of British capital to the ex¬ 
tent of *75,000,000, and giving employment to a 
population of over a quarter or a million souls. 
The crop of tea this year la not likely to he leas 
than .'•0,000,000 pounds.From all parts 01 
Britten Columbia good crops and bountiful 
harvests are reported. Vancouver’s Island has 
been particularly favored, little or no unseason¬ 
able weather having occurred. The largest crop 
ever raised on the wland will be harvested this 
season.A commissioners’ sale of 100,000 acres 
of land lying In Harlan and Bell counties, Ky., is 
advertised to occur at Mt. Pleasant, Harlan 
county, Ky., September 5th. 
A mam in Sonoma county, cal., has sold over 
$700 worth of carp this year from a pond covering 
less than an acre ot ground, and has 20,000 fish ot 
various sizes remaining.____A correspondent of 
the San Antonio (Texas) Pre38, who recently vis¬ 
ited the Rev. w. H. U. Murray’s 1 oxas farm, says 
he has on nis place hall a dozen horses worth

chard fruits will uot thrive in Texas soli, but Mr, 
Murray has succeeded In raising apples, pears 
andpeacnes in abundance.lreiana win 
have, if reports are true, an excellent harvest this 
year. An unusually large area of the Island is 
under cultivation, and the outlook has not been so 
favorable for good crops since 1872. The tillage 
in Leinster comprises a million and a half of aores 
and the barley there Is fine, while the hay crop is 
the most abundant on record. Hay la also a large 
crop in Ulster, and much of It will probably find 
Its way across St. George’s Channel, to supple¬ 
ment the falling off In the English production.... 
_Tne Shetland wool trade owes its existence en¬ 
tirely to 81 r John Sinclair (father of Catharine the 
novelist) about the most useful man Scotland 
produced In the last century. He founded a “ So¬ 
ciety for the Improvement of British Wool," and 
In one year collected 800 sheep of all sorts of 
breedB from different countries, to see whlcu 
would beBt answer wool purposes..... Exports 
of wheat from California for the year ending July 
30,1881, reached a total of 13,367,767 centals, val¬ 
ued at *19.023.015, showing an excess In quantity, 
when compared with the same period of 1879-80, 
of 2,842,353 centals, with an increase in value of 
*3,027.110. The exports of barley amounted to 
1,289,498 centals, ot the value of *1,534,475, an In¬ 
crease of 653,858 centals, of the value of *748,434. 
Then there were 662,093 barrels ot flour shipped for 
tbe period given, an Increase of 169,338 barrels, the 
respective values being $2,911,006 and * 209 , 956 , Of 
the wheat exports 8.661,093 centals were shipped 
and were delivered In Europe; of flour, 161,179 
barrels, and of corn, 17 ,945 centals* In the course 
of the twelve months 358 vessels were dispatched 
from san Francisco with grain cargoes, the for¬ 
eign making 234 and the American 124, and of the 
former number 185 carried the British flag. 
Mr. Clare. Sewell Rand, a high practical agricul¬ 
tural authority In England, told the Chamber of 
Agriculture of England’s leading agricultural 
county, Norfolk, lately, that even If a'l local taxa¬ 
tion were abolished, they could not live. All taxes 
had Increased during the last thirty years, al¬ 
though the price of grain was lower. Unless rents 
are reduced a separation must take place between 
landlord and tenant. This distress, he averred, 
was tbe outcome of free trade, which other coun¬ 
tries had not adopted. He thought that England 
would he absorbed by America, or perhaps become 
the harbor of the world, and Englishmen become, 
Uke the Dutch, mere hucksters.

William Dunbar Is a swindler. Last Friday he 
was arrested at, Watertown, N. Y_, charged with 
using the l nltcd States malls to carry out. a 
scheme of fraud. Lately he has been flooding tbe 
country with letters soliciting one-dollar adver¬ 
tisements for Dunbar’s National Hotel and Pleas¬ 
ure Resort Directory and Dunbar’s Nat.loual Stock¬ 
breeders’ Directory and Register, neither of which 
publications exists. 
The program of the National Fair Trade League 
which will shortly commence an active campaign 
against free trade in England has been issued. 
The League demands that there be no renewal of 
commercial treaties, unless terminable at a year’s 
notice; that Imports of raw materials for home 
lndutrles be free rrom every quarter; that ad¬ 
equate duties be levied on the manufactures of 
foreign States refusing to receive British man¬ 
ufactures in fair exchange, and that the same be 
removed in c ase any nation agrees to take the 
British manufactures free Of duty; that a very 
moderate duty be levied on articles of food from 
foreign countries, the same being admitted free 
from the colonies and dependences which are pre¬ 
pared to take British manufactures In a reason¬ 
ably free Interchange. 
The last lengthy paragraph Is aimed directly 
against this country on account of Its protection¬ 
ist policy; and urges that all efforts should he 
employed to foster the agricultural and other In¬ 
dustries of the British colonies and dependen¬ 
cies by Bending them emigrants and buying their 
produota rather than aid In building up rivals by 
dealing chiefly with the United States.
