A gentleman in Alabama, in exerting
himself one day, felt sudden pain, and
fearing his internal machinery had been
thrown out of gear, sent for a negro on his
plantation, who made some pretensions TO
medical skill, to prescribe for him. The
negro, having investigated the case, pre-
pared and administered dose to his patient
with the utmost confidence of a speedy
cure. No relief being experienced, how
ever, the gentleman sent fora physician,
who, OF arriving inquired of the negro what
medicine he had given his master. Bob
promptly responded-"rosin and aum,S Sir"
"What did you give them for 7" continued
the doctor. "Why," replied Bob, "de alum
to draw de parts togedder, and de rosin to
solder UNI" The patient eventually recov-
cred.

The Old Soldiers Conceniim.-The
National Convention of the Soldiers of the
War of 1912 and previous wars assembled
in the First Presbyterian Church yesterday,
and was very fully attended. There were
probably more .aan one thousand present.
Never were SO many hoary heads seen in
one assembly, ard never did we witness All
assemblage more respectable and qignlhed
in appearance and character. The Con-
vention was opened by very impressive
prayer from the Rev. Mr.. Sunderland, af-
ter which the Hon. Joel b. Sutherland, Of
Pennsylvania, was chosen President, and
Vice Presidents were appointed from the
several States represented.
We observed in the Convention Gener-
ais Cass, Houston, and Shields, and were
glad to see also present the veteran and dis
tngushed Col. Aspinwall, of the Northern
army of lsl2-'l5, who has been abroad al
most ever since in the civil service Of the
country.
The Convention was then escorted in
procession by Col. Hickey's regiment of
Light troops through Pen nsylyania avenue
to the Presidents Mansion, the whole max
ing very imposing appearance. Assem-;
bled in the East Room, the President of the
Copyenton presented them in a body to the
Chief Magistrate, and delivered an eloquent
and patriotic address. The President of
the United States welcomed them in a most
cordial manner by a felicitous speech, in
which he referred ta the impression made
upon his youthful mind BY the horoic ex-
plots of the deseaders of the Republic
Ire was happy to see even the fragment OF
the citizen soldiers upon whose patriotism
ana devotion to TIE great interests the
country reliance could always be Placed.
A young Indian Chief a lso addressed the
Convention, expressing in behalf Of a vcte
ran Chief and his companions then present,
who participated in the struggle Of 1872,
liiC lti a. oiN''H ~
Great Father, the President. Hearty
cheers were then given for the
President, for Gen. Scott, (who was pres
ent,) and for Gen. Cass, also present.
The Convention returned, and after dinner
held an evening session, at which resolur
tions were reported by Gen. Leslie Combs,
from the Business Committee, expressive
Of the objects of the Convention. These
resolutions was unanimously adopted, and
various animated addresses made. The
proceed ngs were then closed by a thrilling
valedictory speech from the president Of the
Convention.
1t was rare sight to see an assemblage
Of more than a thousand persons whose
heads bore the evidences of more than sixty
winters. Altogether, the scene in the
church at night was one to awaken solemn
and sad reflections In ten years from this
day more than two thirds of that convention
will have disappeared from the busy haunts
of men.-Nat. InteHigencer

ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILRoAp.-On Mon
dayneA. regular passenger and freight trains
will commence running twice a day be-
tween Chicago and Carlo and on the 18th
between Galena and Cairo; il is the extreme
Southern point Of the State Of Illinois, at
the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi
state, North and South. The Maine Line,
as it is called, runs from Carlo to La Sale.
a distance of 308 miles. The track thence
to Galena, 1877 miles, is termed the Galcna
Branch. The Chicago Branch, running to
La Sale, is some 10 miles shorter A
friend writing from Chicago, says THE
opening Of the Maine Line (a0s miles) and
the Galena Branch O37 miles) is a great
event for Illinois, and hope you may con-
slider its announcement in your columns of
sufficient public Importance to justify some
interesting editorial comments"
We are quite sensible of the magnitude
of The enterprise, now so near completion
for although no information is given on
that point, we presume that the Illinois
Central will soon be finished from Chicago
to LaSalle, the point of intersection with
the main lne-and also of its vast import
ance, not only to Illinois, but to The whole
country. But this fact is so generally un-
derstood that no editorial comments are
necessary to its universal appreciation. The
line from Chicago TO LaSale is about one
hundred miles in length, making the dis
tance from Lake Michigan TO Cairo by rail-
road a trihe over four hundred miles. The
work brings into immediate proximity Sec
