Four weeks after a letter came from the superintendent saying that Within the last two days a remarkable and unexpected chadge had appeared in lier condition. Since then she has been steadily improving. Monday came a letter from the superintendent dated June 14, two months and a day after Easter, pronouncing her mind quite clear.

London, June 20.—It is now positively asserted that Mr. Henry E Abbey has concluded arrangements under which Mile. Sarah Bernhardt will make another professional tour of the United States, under his management, during the seasch of IbH-i and 1886. There has been a sort of triangular contest for the engagement of the distinguished star between Col. D. Allston Brown, Mr. Abbey and Mr. Mayer, the manager of the Porte St Martin, Paris. Col. Brown was distanced early in the competition by the more tempting offers of the otheis and the final result has been a sort of compromise between Mr. Mayer and Mr. Abbey, under the former is to have a certain control over Mile. Bernhardt's engagements, either in or out of France, during the next live years, while he is to lend her to Mr. Abbey for next winter's season. Tlio terms of Mr. Abbey's agreement wiffe Mr. Mayor are not announced, but the sum which the American manager is to pay Mile. Bernhardt is stated at $600 for each performance and a graded share of the receipts when they are above a fixed amount. Washwoton, June 80.—The senate spent another half day in discussion of the Mexican pension bill, the Achats being wtolly upon the amendment smell upon in the RepulD llcan caucus and introduced by Mr. Ingalla. As modified, this ammdmwt extended the limitation clause in the arrears of pensions act ot 1878 to Oct. 1 next, so that all the Union veterans of the last war who hare filed their pUfait before that date shall receive arrears. The amendment also places all officers and private* am an equality, so far as the rate of pension is concerned. Mr. Morgan opened the debate by asking how much the proposed amendment would take out of the treasury, and several senators replied that, according to the estimate of Pension Commiaiooer Dudley, the amount would be about Mr. Blair explained that this was based on the graded pensions, but by making officers and privates fare alike, the amount would probably be about $385,000,000. Mr. Mitchell assured the senate that it waa entirely impossible for any intelligent penoo to estimate the exact sum, but ha thought Mr. Dudley's figures were much too large. Mr. Beck smiled as he remarked that when the arrears bill was passed the estimated expenditure under it was put at from 930,000,000 to $25,000,003, while thus far the amount had been nearly or quite $100,000,000. Mr. Beck, by a seriw of questions, drew from members of the pensions committee the fact that the amendment had not the sanction of that or any other committee, while * proposition similar in character had been rejected by ijha pensions committee. After Mr. Mitchell had expressed his belief that the treasury could stand the expenap, Mr. Riddleberger declared he tfoidd not support the amendment, which proposed to pay out 9800,000,060 or 9800,000,000 without any bill to that effect ever having been recommended Oy a committee of either house of congress, and when nobody could tell wfthin 9100,000,000 how much it would cost Mr. Beck answered that the amount would probably be about 9500,000,000, aud the amendment was a scheme concocted in caucus to defeat the Mexican pension MIL Our surplus now, he added, was about 9)00,000, 000. Where was the 9340,000.000 to come from? Was the tariff on the necessaries of life to be increased? Mr. Conger talked vaguely about being just to the Union sol diers, and then Mr. Voorheee said he re gretted that the legislation was propoaed but ha would vote for it There should, however, be no limit within which claims must be filed, aad ha therefore Moved to strike that out of the amendment.

Pottstown, Pa., June a).—A bold forgery was discovered ill time and neatly frustrated at the banking bouse of J. W. Casselberry & Co., of this place. John W. Fisher, of tllis tov»n, recently visited the Pacific and while there a number of sharps learned of his presence, and also by trickery and good management obtained Pottstown news and Information about the banks and financial institutions. They saw how Mr. Fisher wrote his name, and forthwith proceeded to forge several checks on the Iftessrs. Casselbervy, «*g"ing Fisher's name, payable to the order of W. Watson. One check was for $1,300 and the other for $450. Braddocks, Jon* 30.—A fire broke out in Seddon'c hardware and tin shop, on Maine street, and before the flame* could be controlled the entire block bounded by Eighth and Barton streets was entirely destroyed. The buildings were: The Fawcett house, Burton Street hotel, Russell's furniture factory, Kelly's liquor store, Seddon's saloon and ten-pin alley, Seddon's hardware and tin shop, Cnighton'* pump works, and Kittoll's restaurant The loss will exceed $75,000, which is partially covered by insuranoe. The fire is believed to be incendiary, as this was the third time Sadden'* establishment has been on fire within six weeks. After the fire was out a small-staed riot oocnired, participated in by fifteen or twenty persons, who had knocked in the bongs of whisky barrel* and drank the liquor until intoxicated. A number of pBsons were slightly hurt, but none seriously. Twelve speciil policemen were (worn in, who quelled the disturbance and arrested the principals. Bat TiKora, Jane "80.—Toward the close of the Yi ung Men's Catholio union, assembled in con /cntion in this city, the assertion made by a ! lemher from New York that Gov.

M Nat Veto (ha BUI. London, June 30.—The Times' dispatch fi-om Paris says James Stephens, the ex- Fenian flfcadcentre, has just sent another circular to his friends in Chicago, urging that a meeting be held at an early date to take measures against the practice of using dynamite as a means to secure justice for Ireland. Mr. Stephens cites the most recent explosion in London as illustrating the necessity for somo action by true Irishmen to clear themselves from the imputation of silently approving such outrages. He proccods to condemn tbe present methods of agitating the question of Irish freedom, and advocates a military organisation, formed upon the plan of the old Fenian society as established by Mahoney. Ill* circular will be i'i printed at Chioago-aad extensively circulated throughout the United States. For governor, Congressman Calkins; lieutenant-governor, State Senator Euga»e Bundy, Henry county; secretary of state, Robert Mitcheil, of Gibeon; auditor of state, Bruce Carr, of Orange; treasurer, R R Shiel, of Marion; attorney general, W.

The ticket represents nil elements of the party and all sections of the state. They were placed In the Los Angelee national bank for collection. A telegram from the bank to Casselberry & Co. to know whether they would cash the checks was sent two troeks ago, but no notice was taken of it, as Mr. Fisher's bank account was not so large, and the firm here suspected that something might be wrong. When Mr. Fisher returned he was informed about the telegram, and ho at once stated that he had An Impetus to the Hoadljr Boom. COL./JHUU8, June 8J.—The declaration of Tliurman that he is net a candidate for the 'prosiiiantial nomination and the reiteration of the statement that Pe.yne is out of tbe race, has given tho ljondly boom quite an impetus, and bis fiienils are offering odds that ho »ill le the nominee at Chicago. They also clnim that be will get the vote of the New York delegation. Opinion* of Democratic Congreanraen Washington, June 20.—Generally, Democratic congressmen are well pleased over the action of tbe Saratoga convention. The original Cleveland men are Jubilant, and say it ansuree his nomination at Chicago on first ballot The fact that the New Work delegation goes to Chicago uinnstructed, • tney say, does not lessen the governor's chanoes; that the New York delegatioo, when they see other states indorsing Cleveland, will vote as a tmit for him. Others, who prefer Bayard, Slocum or McDonald as lint choice, say the harmonious action at Saratoga insults the united vote of the party in New York state, and places the election of their candidate, whoever he may be, beyond a doubt Representative Cox received a telegram from Hqp. John Kelly, New York, stating that the Saratoga convention passed off fatisfactorily to him, and that Tammany hall got all that was desired. The telegram w expresses the belief that the New York delegation will support, as a unit, some New York man for the presidency. Mr. Cox in. , terprets this last to mean that the delegation will unite on Cleveland. Congressman Stevens, of New York, who has "returned to Washington, says the New York delegation will observe tho unit rale and support Cleveland. Mr. Stevens was formerly a supporter of Mr. Flower. Mormon Emissaries In Germany. Herj.in, June 20.—The German authorities are much agitated over the energy and success of American Mormon emissaries in procuring'imsnlytes and emigrants to Utah in Thuringan and other portions of Prussian Saxony. These Mormon missionaries, it is said, depict the agricultural and other advantages of Utah In glowing terms, but make no rtraightforward mention of tho polygamaoi practices of their sect In tliii way they allure many young women, whose fate after thplr arrival In Utah is horrible to contemplate, and many young men who are ymseased of some capital, none others being aooepted. The priests and the military authorities of Saxony have started a crusade against the Mormons which will probably result in their expulsion from the province, and possibly from the entire empire. Fire at Baltimore. given no checks. The checks passed through the National bank of Pottstown, and were presented to J. W. Casselberry & Co., who refused payment on them, and they went to protest. Mr. Fisher pronounced them forgeries, though his signatures were remarkably well executed.

Nxw You, June 80.—CoL John Burke, of the Buffalo BiU Wild West show, in speaking of the dead Sioux Indian, Two Standing, who died from cerebral spinal meningitis at the Ninety-ninth Street hospital, said: 'Ths remains an still at the hospital It is our intention to allow the hospital people to see to the Jntarmept, and we shall pay the expenses they will incur. We iu» , obliged to pay a-sum of money to the dead Indian's father and motfcpr, who are at present redding at Blackbird Hill, Omaha, Nebraska, as it 1* customary to do so.

Nbw York, June 80.—Judge Duffy, whe is sitting in the Harlem court; was very indignant when the process of bleeding calvea was explained to him. The object of bleeding is to make the meat white, and tlpua bring a few cents more a pound. The Society for the Prevention of CruCiJty to Animals has been trying to put a stop to this practice, but the butchers have been too careful, and evidence to convict could not be obtained. William McOill, a butcher in the employ of B. Fogel, the owner of a slaughter house at lbTcli strait, and Ilailroad avenue, was caught by Superintendent Hankinson in the very act ef bleeding a C \ f.

Mr. In galls read an editorial from a southern newspaper to show how the people of the south hated Yankee pensioners; and spoke some sharp wards to the Democrats oa that subject. Then he gave a synopsis of the pension legislation since the war. He agreed with Mr. Voorhees that there should be no limitation clause in the amendment. It was unjust, but he had weakly placed it there in deference to thoee who were not willing to be just It was a compromise, amj, he was ashamed of it, but he would take a crust when he could not get a loaf. He desires to give public notice, Mr. Ingalls added, that if he was a senator when the limit was up ~hs would move to repeal it, and would seek another compromise if he could do no better. In conclusion Mr. Ingalls said be did not believe the figures of Commissioner Dudley that the amendment would involve $340,- 000,000, but he admitted that the amount could not be computed. lite Saltan Dlaaatlslled.
