fortnight has now passed since the ex-
piration of the six months subsequent to

grow pale, while the paper shook in his
hand. He pointed to paragraph, which
ran thus -
"This village" mentioning place
about teu miles off "has lately been the
scene of horrible tragedy. A tramp
was found in a barn, suffering from what
at first appeared a fit, but afterwards
proved to be hydrophobia. The man,
who had only one arm, stated, in an in
tsrval Of consciousness, that he had been
bitten by dog which formerly accompa-
MED him and had subsequently gone mad;
he had destroyed the animal, and put
some balsam into the wound, which he
thought had neutralized the venom, for
the bite had speedily closed up, and he
had felt no further inconvenience. But
he died after great suffering"
"Look there" said my friend, pointing
with trembling finger to the passage;
"that was the man tried to catch, and
the same beast slightly bit my hand, when
| dragged him off my dog"
The death stroke had been given
within the time!
In another month the house was vacant
once more, and this morning | saw it ad.

will result from a temperate conduct and
sweetness of manner to all people, on all
occasions. Never forget that you are q

mother-say harsh or hasty thing to

Wool as emnently fit for responsible
command; aud had failure followed such
an officers steps, no one in the country
could have justly placed the result to the
appointing power. The anteeedents oi
the man would have justified the position,
while the results at Winchester or Bulls
Run weuld have been laid to the chances
of war. When such are considerations
patented to all, why is not General Wool
in the field? The answer must bo that
the same malign influence that, to the
sympathetic grief of the country, pro-
duced the touching but frank and noble
confession Of General Scott, overawed
the better judgment, and kept Gen. Wool
from the command which his country
men had right to expect to see HIM fill
and the people of the great State OF New
York, which reverberated with acciama-
ton when this glorious warrior returned
to his home, see with astonishment high
military positions bestowed as compli-
ments.
General Wool, when about the age
that Hamilton and Mcclellan showed SUI
perior ability, evinced the possession OF
military genius at Queenstown Heights;
and il is but bare iUstice to as honest a
man as ever served the country, to say,
tiist from that battle day to last April,
when the veteran evinced so much energy
in forwarding troops to save Washington,
he has evinced extraordinary capacity in
every detail of his profession Is it said
that he is too old for battle field ? that
this requires the dash of youth? Who
does not know that, sometimes, especially
in men of mark, under the silver glories
of age burns the enthusiasm of youth,
while, especially where natural talent is
not over abundant, men are old fogies
before gray hair is seen in their heads.
Radetsky, at eighty-three, evinced all
and even more oil the energy of youth,
and was too much for CHARLES Albert,
even with liberty on his side, and won for
Austria battle upon battle. Seven years
later, when he got to be ninety, and was
cod and feeble" he resigned (lS56) his
command. Suwaroff, the great Russian
commander, born in 1850, was not shelly
ed at sixty-fve; but having at sixty
achieved the dreadful massacre at Isn,all,
and later done the awful campaign at
Warsaw, is sad to have evinced the most
genius for war in 1899, when for his tri-
umpbs all Germany united with Russia
to reward him; and for his victories over
the French in Italy was made Prince
Italinski. We think General Wool is
younger than Suwarolf was when he was
loaded down with titles for his fresh vic
tories. He was among us last year and
his eye was not dim. He may now be
seen at Troy, SO we are told, in his resl-
lar horseback rides before breakfast; then
going through his reg liar round of Off
cial life; and then dispensing his charac-
teristic hospitality, The plea of illness
will not do. The fact of ago will not
serve the turn or justification for inflict-
ing injustice on noble veteran. There
can be but one theory; the same malign
influence that hastened forth the glorious
army of tue Potomac to fatal result,
has operated to keep General Wool in
hi. homo quarters at Troy.

GONE FISHING.

! felicitously alludss to the fact that his
brother editor Of the Courier, of secession
procivities, left on a piscatoral excur-
sion into the rural districts as soon as
the result of the recent election ia Ken
! lucky was apparent:
E Our neighbor Bod Mckee, the
very smart editor of the Courier, as soon
as he learned tho result of Mondays elec-
ton, started off upon fishing excursion.
When the twelve disciples were in great
trouble and perplexity as to what they
should or could do next, Simoni Peter,
with his usual facility Of resource, said,
81 go fishing," and Bob said so too.--
He was SO appalled, by the popular vote,
that he at once bounded from poll to pole.
Finding that in political conflict he was
out of his element, he went to see whether
he couldn't haul few pike, bass, and
catfish out of theirs. Realizing that he
could no longer cheat the people, he low
cred his pretensions materially and un-
dcrtcok to retrieve his self-esteem by
fooing the poor simple fishes. Unable
to lead voters by the nose, he thought he
would try to pull fishes by the lip. His
present employment is decidedly the less
scaly of she two, and we hope he will
have few hills and mountains to scale,
and good many fishes. 1t is highly
probable that his fnny victims will swal-
low his bait more readily than his readers
have swallowed his statements. We pro-
test against his using nets; let him take
his fish as his southern friends took their
forts, arsenals, mints, and revenue cutters
-by hooking them. We commend him
to the fishing rod, and we commend the
rod to him, for we know of no Editor
that more deserves it or deserves more of
it. In case he drops line to fine pike
Just to tell him he would like to see him
to dinner, he may, if his liquors arc
good, drop us a line Of like import. If
at any time the question shall be whether
he shall pull big fish out, or the big fish
shall pull him in, both parties will please
remember that we are a strict neutrality
man. If he shall get into. the river and
be devoured by the inhabitants of the
flood, we hope he will agree with them
better than he has ever agreed with any
patIiotic party we pressure, noWeNeI,
there is no danger of his drowning, else
there is no truth in old adages. If he
does not repent of his sins among the
calm and quiet scenes Of nature, the
worst we can have the heart to wish him
is that the mosquitoes, ticks, sand-fiies,
and cross dogs may bite and the fishes
not And please remember, dear Bob, in
oil your fishing experiences, that the
devil is the chief Of fishermen, and that
you are his Bob.
