1t will be hard to resists tear to the
memory Of the brave, in reading the fol
lowing which occurred in Com, Perry's
vessel after the battle on Lake Erie.
One poor fellow was sent below to the
Surgeon with his right arm dangling like
an empty coat-sleev at his side. Il had
been shattered near the shoulder and am.
puta'ion was pronounced unavoidable
He bore the painful operation without a
groan or a murmur. although cold drops
Of agony stood on his trembling flesh.
An hour after lis arm was amputated,
he called the Surgeon to his side and said:
i" should like TO see my arm if you
have no objections" '' None in the
world" replied the Surg on. {" II you de-
sire IT,"
The amputated limb WI as at crce brought
to him, and poor Jack pressing the cold
hand which had " forgot its cunning" in
his left exclaimed with tears in his eyes

he remained thee years. In 1884 he was
elected to the United States Senate, and re.
mained there eight years. He was Secretary
