cally of the president : "There is no
reasonable doubt of his recovery. "
"Will you permit mo to ask ono

vill bo able to resume hia duties ? "
"Ho will undoubtedly bo able to
resume a certain class ot official duties
vithin a week or two. "
"You mean that ho will bo able to
ttach his signature to papers , &c. "
"Oh , as fonts that is concerned ho is
iow perfectly able to do that. "

idenco. Such confidunco is now in-

Oflicial Report , "VoltaLaboratory. "
122 Connecticut avenue , Washington ,
August 1. To the Surgeons in At
tendance on President Garfield :
GENTLEMEN I bog to submit a
statement of the results obtained with
the induction balance in an experi
ment made this morning for the pur
pose of locating the bullet in the
person of President Garfiold.
The instrument was tested for senaa-
tivenesa several times during the
course of the experiment , and found
to respond well to the presentation of
a bullet a distance of four inches from
the coils. When exploring the coils
it passed over the abdomen where a
sonorous spot was ohaen ed. In the
experiments of July 2Cth a feeble tone
was percepted , and the oH'oct was
audible a considerable distance around
this spot. It sounds too fceblo to bo
entirely satisfactory , oa I had reason
to expect. In order to ascertain
whether similar sounds might
not bo obtained in any localities ,
1 explored the whole right side and
back below the entrance of thu bullet ,
but no part gave indications of the
presence of metal except tlio area
previously found. The sonorous ox-
ncrimonta wore repeated by Mr.
rumor , who obtained oxnclly corresponding
pending results. I am justified in
concluding that the ball is located
within the abdomen. This fact shows
the ignornnco of the actual shape and
mode and presentation of the bullet
exploring instrument. The depth nt
which the bullet lies cannot \ > o de

AN APPEAL FROM PRINOF. XAPOl.KON.
PAKIH , August 1. 1'rinco Juromo
Napoleon , emerging from hii lung ro-
tiroinunt , and Booing in the approach
ing elections nnopportuuity of lusting
the strength of the Hotmpartmts uf
Franco , lias issued an appeal to the
people in the form of a lottur address
ed to "Follow Citizons. " It appeals
to the country to recall the glorious
history of Franco during the rule
of Napoleon I , . his immortal
undo. Also the wonderful prosperity
of the country under" his cousin , Na
poleon III. Ho contends that the
mere title of government is unimport
ant. It should bo a government
whereby the destiny of Franco among
nations can bo best accomplished.
The present government , he assorts ,
has not realized the expectation cher
ished for it. Tlio so-called democratic
progress deceives the country , en-
courngcs the worst passions and dis
regards all principles upon which
former prosperity was founded.
The prince ends the manifesto
by demanding a remission of the con
stitution , so as to admit a plebiscite to
elect a chief ruler , n post to which ho ,
as head of the Napoleon dynasty as
pires. The letter has produced a pro
found sensation throughout Paris.
The radicals are terribly oxnsporat d
and to-night are asking for the arrest
of thojprinco. Moderate republicans
pretend to ignore it. Legitimists re
gard it with favors only bocaimo it an
noys the republicans m'ld radicals.
The Bonapartists who , since ljo kill
ing of the Prince Iinnm'al , folt'them-
"solvea without T lolifl&y welcome it us
the first indication of a resurrection of
their party.

rr.ouiA. Ills. , August 1. This noon
while Patrick \V. Crowe , inventor of
lie infernal machines that were re
cently shipped to England and which
caused such commotion throughout the
civilized world , was walking up Main
street in this city , ho waa ar
rested by the United States marshal
on orders from Wayne MaoVeagh ,
Jnited States attorney-general. Crowe
took his arrest as a matter of course.
.Tho IIOWB was quickly spread abroad
throughout thu city and created the

ending Irish citizens gaahored and bail
n $7,000 was tendered , but the mar-
hal simply replied to all inmiirics
hat ho would take no bail ana that
3rowo must go with him to Chicago.
3ro\vu was taken to Chicago to-night.
To takes the affair very coolly. Ho
ias disposed ot his business
and avows his intention of
aising an army as soon
is he is liberated and continue the
immifacturo of the infernal machine.
! o says that ho sees in this the only
( OHsiblu way to right Ireland's wrongs.
Mr. Crowo is n quiet citizen , but on
his subject ho is a perfect enthusiast ,
) no of thu infernal machines designed
.o blow up England has been taken to
L'ho Journal oflico in this city from
ho boiler from whore they wore to bo
Hied. They wore cast in the foundry
if O'Rourko Bros. , and from there
hirteun of them were taken to the

iavo it stout cap of boiler iron put
over the top. The machine rosoniblea
a shell in shape. It is ton inches long
and six inches thick , hollow , with n
hell two inches thick all around it.
Phero is an inch hole in the center of
one end. The other end is conical in
shape so that when standing on its
end it looks like a shell. Over the
lolo in the level and is a stout
cap of boiler iron fitted carefully.
I'ho explosive material is placed inside
Ihia shell , the fop oloacduyith the aot
screws and the boiler p jto ntul the
whole left to do its work. Even if
liscovcrcd it could hardly bo deterred
from executing its purpose , for the set
screws are so made that it is with
diflifiilty that they can be removed ,
and it would bo almost certain death
.o tamper with it. After it was sot
and ready for operation , the slightest
ar would release the clock work and
guito the chtirge. It is computed
that ono of these machines would de
stroy a whole block of the largest

well built. Each machine contains a

to BOO what ho supposed to bo the em

him. His first thought wAs a brokoi
rail caught by the pilot , and ho expected
pected an instantaneous uliock. Won
derment usurped the place of fear
when a second glance revealed a five
foot black siiako , of the specie kno\vi
ua "runners , " gliding rapidly uwuj
from him on top of the rail
In the excitement of the
moment his hand sought thu throttle ,
ho throw it wide open , and the trait
bounded forward under the impulse
but the snake maintained its lead
although the train was running u
fully fifty milea an hour , and whoi
tlio end of the cut was reached , am
an opportunity was afforded to escape

space , coiled itselt up , throw its head

liat the intense heat of the rail had
nirncd it to death.

For over a month past the thirty

of it. The chronic drunkard , sent tu
ail on account of $10 line for intoxi-
atiou , found there more congenial
[ iiarters than he had been used to ,
vitli nothing to do and a fair share of
oed to eat. It is a well
cnown fact that at least ono fellow
lai put himself in the way of arrest
imply to bo able to return to jail.
Pho maintenance of such follows as
hcso has been a constant drain upon
ho county , for which their waa no
return of any kind whatever. Tlio
otinty commissioners have at length ,
uniud their ofllciul eye in
lie direction of Hartley street

ion that such prisoners as have
teed a trial and boon convicted must

! iat of breaking the atone which ia to
orm the concrete of thu basement
oor of the now court houso. Thin ia
labor , the commissioners think , that
light just as well bo performed by
ho prisoners as having the county
> ay extra for it. A competent

nay soon expect to see these men be-
