THE PRESIDENT’S BROTHER-IN-LAW AND YOUNGER, SONS. A dispatch from Cleveland says:* Joseph Ru- dolph, brother-in-law of the President, left there yesterday afternoon for Washington, in company with Captain Henry. Mr. Rudolph has been in charge of the Mentor homestead while the Presi- dent has been away, and had the care of the President's two younger sons, aged nine and eleven years. In obedience toa telegram Thurs- day night from Mrs. Garfield the sons are left at Mentor. They were informed Thursday evenin; of the President’s almost hopeless condition an were greatly distressed, but did not murmur on being toid they could not go to him. THE PRESIDENTS ALLEGED SUPERSTITION AS TO SATURDAY., It was mentioned in the third edition of THE Star last night, as. a matter of interest at this time, that the President has a sort of a supersti- tion that if he dies it will be on Saturday. He has spoken of this conviction, it is said, several times. It is stated that the President has from boy- hood had a superstitious vein in his composition. It is stated that when quite a young man he en- tertained the belief that he would not live be- yond thirty-three years—the age at which his father died. Another story is that shortly after the breaking out of the war, and while h friends were trying to seenre for him the col- cy of the 42d Ohio regiment, he was tendered command of the 7th. Turning to a fri nce reached him, he sai is a fellow.

Gartield for President of these United States of America this current term.” A Curious Story from Philadelphia, WHAT COL. CORKHILL IS REPORTED TO HAVE SAID. A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun this morning from Philadelphia, Pa., says: Col. Cork . District attorney for the District of plumbia, who has been taking a vacation at tefl to-day for Washington, having received dispatches that the President cannot i purpose event of President Garfield’s death, to the jail and put an immediate end to the | of the sin Guiteau.

FUSIONS are directed to outside parties in reference to procuring bail, while others purport to give an | account of the alleged version that inspired him | to shoot the President, and his reasons for the | shooting, such as have been published over and over again. Since the episode with the guard McGill, a few days azo, he has been quite bitter towards the few nights after the occurrence, seeing 1 in the rotunda, he demanded to know why he was not locked up, claiming that MeGill was as guilty as he was, only McG. failed to shoot. Subsequently he ‘addressed a letter to an official outside whom he regards as a stalwart friend requesting him to go to! Judge Wylie and make a charze of assault with intent to kill against MeGill, (on information and belief). It is needless to say that this letter | has not been sent to the party it is addressed to. THE MILITARY GUARD. Thus far the military guard at the jail has not been increased, but it is understood that the marines at the barracks on Sth street east are under orders, and in case of an uprising they could in a few moments reinforce the artillery at the jail. It is thought that Guiteau fears an attack on the jail, and that rather than fall in the hands of a'mob he would have no hesitancy in putting an end to his existence. PUBLIC PEELING.

The movement has been organized for many months. Its objectis the settlement of all inter- national disputes by arbitration, to be brought about by agitation in avery netion, but es- ecially by a world’s conference-at Washington in 1884, when, from all parts of the earth, great numbers will be in atteadance.st the contem- plated Boston world’s fait. This seems to be a time when a movement o! this kind could be- come practicable. Many travelefrover the earth agree that there are in all civilized countries ersons of influence who Lave means, know the ‘nglish language, and vould be giad of the honor to come as representatives to a conven- tion of this magnitude. This assembly, after mature deliberation on man’s moral and social relations, would probably conetude to issue an address to the world, advising, among other things, the organization of a family of nations to so educate the people en a peace footing that it would be practicable bythe dawn of the twen- tieth century to disbandarmies and navies all over the earth. The recent desire of some of the countries in South America for arbitration from the United States, atter being desolated by war, makes this undevtaking at this time a very important one. Mary of the clerzy express a desire of preaching on the good time coming when sword and cannon can be used for wire and rail. It is hoped that arbitration leazues will be commenced in every countyin the United States, as well as in all tre other countries, so that it’ will be very unpopalar for those in pox to expend so many millioas for war, when edu- cation is everywhere so much cemanded 3 ae Hay Fever.

ONE OF THE OLD SETTLEMENTS—RECOLLECTIONS OF THE WYOMING MASSACRE—FINE SCENERY— A MEDICINAL SPRING—ANXIETY ABOUT THE PRESIDENT’S CONDITION. To the Editor of Tue Evenrne Star: NORTHUMBERLAND, Pa., August 23. I bave been rusticating for some days near this ancient town. whichis one of the oldest settlements in the land of Penn. It was a har- bor of yefuge for the survivors of the Wyoming massacre, who fled tothis place on the 3d of July, 1778. Situated as it is at the confluence of the North and West branches of the Susquehanna river, the scenery is of a character to delight the eye of an artist. The Blue Hill, opposite the town, has often been sketched, and en- graved for illustrations in magazines, and a good view of the country may be had from the cemetery back of the town, in which repose the mortal remains of the cele- brated Dr. Joseph Priestley, who lived here and died in 1804. Many of: his descendants reside here still, and in 1874 quite a number of his ad- mirers assembled here to attend the centennial of his discovery of oxygen. Among the local celebrities of the place is.a medicinal spring about three miles from town, called Horton Spring. It is warmly commended by some of the medical faculty, and many per- sohs think it equal to the Bedford Spring water; but there are no buildings near the spring for Telegrams to The Star. Vice President Arthur. HE HAS NOT BEEN SUMMONED TO WASHINGTON. New Yorx. August 26.—Vice President Arthur was seen at his house to-day at noon. He states he has only received official bulletins in regard to the President's condition. He has not been summoned, nor has he received any intimation to be in readiness, to go to the capi- tal. Should he receive such a message he would go at once. He refused to state what he thought of the President's condition, or its re- quirements in relation to the Vice President. amare Certs English Views of the President's Case. THE LONDON LANCET THINKS IT VERY SERIOUS. Loxpox, August 26.—The Lancet says: When itis born in mind that in casesof starvation death supervenes. when a loss of two-fifths of the original weight has occurred the fact that President Garfield has lost eighty pounds is alone sufficient to excite serious apprehension. We cannot but regard the parotid swelling or abscess as of serious import. Although it be exaggeration to speak of ‘his recovery as alto- | gether beyond hope, a speedy improvement is necessary to avert the worst results.

Intimate friends of the President's household here speak of the affection between the Presi- dent and his mother as something peculiarly beautiful and touching. The General was but one week installed in the Executive mansion when his venerable mother, who had been pres- ent to welcome him within its threshoid, wag herself taken very ill. The excitement and cere= mony attending even the first few days there was too much for her feeble strength and her prostrated condition. Her condition alarmed the President greatly, and was the first worry that menaced the then envied occupant of the White Honse. Medical afd was hastily sume Toned, and but little hope expressed thal Grandma Garfield would recover, she seemed 8@ utterly broken down. When the Presiden came up to her bedside, with “Well, mother, how do you feel?” she answereds “James, that I fear I won't be long with you.” #Oh, No, mother,” he quickly said. “it is not a bad as that. cheer up; the new President cam not part with his mother already.” Very much to her own surprise she rallied quickly, and in @ few days was talking about getting out of the atmosphere vf the French cooking at the White House and home to her daughter in Mentor. She used to say that fancy’ dishes would nob help her any, and if she could only get bome, why they would give her something good to and she would soon get well again. Home. made bread, made by an old near and deat neighbor, was what she insisted built her up any way before she could get away from here te Ohio. The same repugnance to fancy cooking has always been prominent in the f | too. No matter of what the breakfast at the — House might consist, the Presi« lent’ invariably ate a goodly portion of fried bacon every morning in the year. and at his dinner a piece of broiled steak would form the chief part of bis meat diet. He has always been extremely methodical about what he ate, and once knowing particular food agreed well with him he did not ask for much vuriety in meeting a good, healthy appetite. Even during the late critical days the old taste is displayed in the preference he shows for the old-fashioned milk porridze. prepared by the hands of his wife and always a relished disb with him. ae The Vice President's Position, | WHAT “AN INTIMATE PERSONAL FRIEND” SATR ; “An intimate personal friend of Vice Presi- | said toa New York Trilume re € the exci nt and agitation the condition of the Pr at the Cabinet officers at Washington and Vice Presi- dent and his friends here have had an opportu | nity to look into the question of inability of the Loft his st in the conclusion munselors of urged that take upon itselft cannot weit inalility of the ‘tisknown that Gen.
