Drytown Correspondence.

DRYTowN, Aug. IL, 1896.
EDs LEDeER:-As stated in my last it
was supposed by the advocates Of the Mis-
souri, Compromise measure that they would
do away with all future agitation of the sub
iect of slavery; for time they did, but soon
sickly sentimentality and false sympathy
began to work in the brains of some hot
headed knaves at the North, and they. see
ing an opportunity to crafty q sensurable
ambition to become notorious as the leaders
of party Of fanatics by interfering with the
acknowledged rights Of the people of the
South, raised the cry Of inhumanity and cru
city to the slave and painted their iuagn-
airy sufferings in such vivid language that
others began to believe it was really true
From that time petitions began to pour into
Congress for the abolition of slavery in the
District of Columbia and the Territories:
colinzation societies were formed, under
ground railroads established and there were
continual nroads being made on the rights of
the Shareholder This excited, in the people
of the South a spirit of opposition to what
they justly termed the encroachments of the
North on their guaranteed rights, producing
an estrangement that was destructive of that
harmony of feeling and action which should
exist among the people of confederate States
in order to secure prosperity and happiness
to all 1t became evident that if this Sec
tional feeling were to increase in its intensity
In the same proportion that it had for few
years past, it must result in dsunion. In
fact, political fanatics both at the North and
South, discarding their manhood, all honora-
BILE principles, the dictates of conscience their
country and their God, howled wildly for
that result Then it was that those great
statesmen of our nation who had differed
somewhat in the utility of the practical ap-
plication of certain principles Of minor impor
tance TO the machinery of free government,
came together in one solid phalanx, with an
irresistible strength and unanimity of purpose
to prevent the commission of the greatest
crime the world ever knew, that is, the dis
honor and murder of the Goddess of Liber-
ty saying to the dark waves of hell-born re-
belion that were rolling up to oyerwhelm hui
man freedom forever, "thus far shalt thou go
and here shall thy proud waves be stayedp
Then it was that northern abolitionism and
southern secessionism fell back chagrined
and disgraced before that army of true patri-
OTIS that came up to the rescue of civil free
dom from the foul hands of the traitors who
had sought to revel in wild orgies over the
ruins of our bood-bought union In 1856
Clay, Webster, Cass and host of other
men of giant ntelects and patriotic hearts,
united hand in hand, and shoulder to should
er to resist every attempt at the desecration
Of the just provisions Of the Constitution

Wanted, an arm to lean upon,

With a step secure and free,
To take its straight and onward pace

To pious purpose given.
With whom mine own might pass along

DIGESTIVE POWERS OF THE STOMACH

DR.. Beaumont, Of the United States
Army, has published his Experiments and
observations on the Gastric Juice and the
PHYSIOLOGY of Digestion These expert
ments have been made from time to time
during the last eight years. on Canadian
Frenchman, who, in 1922, was accidentally
wounded by the discharge of IL musket, the
contents of which were received in his left
side, and carried away the parts so MS to
wound the lungs and stomach very seri-
ously. The very remarkable result was,
that the man recovered his health; but in
the healing Of the parts, the coats of the
stomach attached themselves to the lips of
the external wound, and formed an artifi-
cial aperture to the stomach; so that this
organ could be examined at any time, by
pushing in valve which the stomach had
formed to close the aperture, so rs to pre-
vent its contents from escaping thereat.- -
With advantages for gastric experiments
never before enjoyed, DR.. Beaumont applied
himself to this Interesting inquiry with a
degree of assiduity and patience highly
commepdable. The work which he has, re-
Gently published, as the result Of his exper-
iments and observations, is described as
interesting, and in many respects valuable.
