HOME NEWS, 
Monday, Sep. 5, 1881. 
The President's condition is still exceedingly 
critical. Since out- last news concerning him, 
August 37, he has been “at. death's door” sev¬ 
eral times: but hitherto good nursing, medical 
attention and a splendid constitution have 
kept him from crossing the threshold. For 
nearly two mouths he has been able to take 
but very little nourishment and he is there¬ 
fore extremely feeble and emaciated- 
so that bis greatest danger

Even before the at- 
ligcstive organs frequently 
troubled him and of lute he has had to be sup¬ 
ported for days by injections of beef tea, etc., 
the stomach refusing to bear any food. The 
original wound appears to be hen-ling moder¬ 
ately well, but the wound caused by the glan¬ 
dular trouble in the neck is still very annoy¬ 
ing and dangerous. Matter is discharged 
from tliis outward through an incision in the 
neck and through two openings in the cheek, 
and inward through an opening near the top 
of the gullet. Moreover, he is said to be suf¬ 
fering from malaria due to the miasma aris¬ 
ing from Potomac fiats just back of the 
White House. On this account the doctors 
tliink that the only chance for life depends on 
Ills removal, and it has been decided to take 
him to Long Branch. If his condition is good 
enough, the transfer will be made to-morrow, 
but this morning’s telegrams say he was a 
trifle worse, yesterday than the day before. 
A disaster only a trifle less than the Cus¬ 
ter massacre, is reported to have befallen our 
troops near Fart Apache, Arizona, where Gen. 
Carr and two companies of cavalry, number¬ 
ing about 78 men. arc reported to have been 
ambushed and killed by the White Mountain 
Apache Indians. Gen. Carr, with the two 
cavalry companies left the fort to arrest a 
turbulent “ medicine man.” Lieut. Cruse 
tried to make the arrest and was shot dead by 
the medicine man's brother. The enlisted 
Indian scouts who were close to the troops, at 
once poured in their fire upon them, killing 
most of the officers and a great many men. 
Then all the Indians began to massacre thesur-

kidney disease, that might have been prevent¬

These figures do uot include Ireland, but then 
Ireland is scarcely a wheat growing country. 
.The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser 
says tliat the eastward movement of flour and 
grain from t he West through that city for the 
month of August; 1881, shows a decrease of 
51,13(5 barrels in the receipts of flour, and a 
decrease of 4,951,458 bushels in the receipts of 
grain, estimating flour as wheat, as compared 
with the same month last year.All 
over the Northwest, and as far South as 
Southern Illinois, the drought was broken up 
on the night of Aug. 81. Heavy rainfalls 
greatly benefited corn where the crop had not 
been injured beyond recovery. At Spring- 
field, Ill., over three inches of rain fell in less 
than an hour. At Des Moines, la., 3j 4 inches 
fell in three hours, and everywhere heard from 
the rain was quite heavy enough hi soak the 
parched earth.Severe forest fires are 
reported from Ottawa, Canada; Glean, N. Y.; 
Milford, Fa.; Halifax, Nova Scotia, Northern 
Michigan, and quite a large number of places 
in Ontario, Canada. Immense losses of tim¬ 
ber, fencing and farm crops are announced. 
.A Dairymen’s Protective Association, 
composed of the dairymen of Northern Illinois, 
and of Wisconsin, was formed at Milwaukee 
ou August 35 : President, Hon. Hiram Smith,

Fort Atkinson. Its object is to contest the 
claims to royalty on cheese hoops, bandages

Earlier in the week the prices were still 
higher, for on Friday evening there was a fall 
of l l .ja3!a'c. per bushel on Winter wheat, and 
from 5a!i 1 Jc. on all Spring grades. Corn also 
declined ,kiale. per bushel; while rye, which 
stood at an advance on Thursday of from 4a 
0c., also dropped on Friday, the speculative 
need having teen provided for: oats alone 
went up 1 Halle, a bushel. “Options,” too, 
fell from Hale, on the favorite grades of 
grain. Flour rest' during the w eek from 10 to 
15c. per barrel, and feed advanced materially 
ou tt very limited offering and a good demand. 
Seeds, too, were quoted dearer, and 85,500 
bushels of flax were sold within a range of 
ll.40al.50, closing at 81.45 bid, per bushel. 
The notable glut of grain at. Baltimore and 
the accumulation of grain at the seaboard 
were the chief causes of the decline in cereals 
towards the end of the week. The following 
table shows the receipts of bread-stuffs at the 
seven ports on the Atlantic seaboard:—

Thus it is seen that although the receipts 
have largely increased sntce last week, yet 
they aggregate much less than those of the 
corresponding week last year. Moreover, the 
exports were less than those of either the week 
before or the corresponding week in 1880, as 
will be seen by the following table:—

This accumulation of breadstuff's here is 
enough to partly account for the fall in prices; 
but the close of the August deal in cereals here 
and at Chicago, also had a denresshm-effect.

Prof Hors ford’* Baking Powder. 
F. H. Atkins, A. A. Surgeon U. S. Army, 
says: “ In this Powder an acid phosphate of 
lime takas the place of cream tartar or alum, 
and while the whitest and most delectable 
biscuit can lie made with it that I have over 
seen or tasted, it furnishes a food rich in phos¬ 
phates, so much needed in animal economy and 
so largely discarded in oil!* finely sifted flour. 
Prof. Hereford's high reputation is adequate

deleterious m' make-weight ingredient*” 
considerably higher, too. The latest reports 
of the crop from all sections in this country 
fully conliim our prophecy that the aggregate 
yield will be about 100,000,000 bushels less 
than last year’s crop. Borne think it will 
be 150,000,000 bushels loss, while others still in¬ 
sist it will be about the same—an estimate 
made by nearly all our contemporaries at- the 
data of our prediction. The latest advices
