"PriVate Dudley"

We had word to say about four conspic-
uous Radical heroes on yesterday, men of
prodisious fuss and ilmitable feathers whom
We contrasted with the solid figure of General
Grant, much to the disadvantage of Banks,
Bstler 4 Co., and to-day we are able to lay
leaf from the biography of "Private Dud
ley" before the public. We confess that we
believed this person to have been a real SOL
disr, but it seems after all that he only killed
men in buckram and scented the battle afar
The Buffalo Courier gives the following history
Of the martial exploits of the heroic man who
presided as temporary chairman at the Pitts
burg Convention.
All who have read the proceedings of the
Pttsburg Convention of Soldiers, remember
that an individual, called Private Dudley, was
made temporary President of the Convention
on the strength of letter which he had writ
ten resigning his position in the Treasury
Department because he could not obtain leave
for the purpose of going to Pittsburg This
was a very fine card for the Convention, as
we'll as ''big thing" for Private Dudley
Undoubtedly many pictured to themselves
Scared and bronzed veteran who had borne
his knapsack in many weary march and
his musket in many bloody battle, presid-
ing over an immense gathering and the pic
ture was eminently Democratic and pleasing.
But, alas for Private Dudleys glory, there are
in the country certain inconvenient people
that know him. One of these is Captain o.
F. Richards of this city, foru cry of tie Tooth
New York Volunteers. He stated at the
Fourth Ward meeting, last evening, that the
gallant Dudley was indeed private in the
18th Massachusetts Regiment, but he never
went into the field having been one of those
smart young men who obtained ''soft" de-
tail in the Treasury Department and drew
handsome salary far removed from wars

to a drummer" the fall is tremendous. All
soldiers know what one of these 'bummers"
is. SIC transit gloria Dudley

the removal of Friends to Indiana has been

going. We learn that two or three thousand
more contemplate removing. Every one

Sad Incidents of the Feuian tTpia n

There are two rather sad stories arising out
of the Government action in the suppression.
You remember q man named Clarke, shot, a
few weeks ago, in the street in this city. Two
men, acquaintance Of his, called for him,
asked him to take walk, and third shot
him. He died the next day. Ut reminds
one of Keats "two brothers and their MUIR
dered man" riding through Florence) The
true story of the tragedy is this: Clarke was
a "B, or Captain in the Fenan Society He
lived in a street where the Government dis
covered Fenian armory, and shortly AFTER
wards he was noticed by his co-conspirators
to have plenty of money. They suspected
that he was spending the Government reward
for betraying the armory, when, in fact, he
had not been in communication with the Gov
eminent at all, and was simply "fush of cash"
because he had received money from friends
in America. After he was shot he gave the
police, when dying, a long and detailed &C
count OF the men who walked out with him,
and OF the circumstances Of the murder The
account was purely fictitious and invented by
his dying, and, alas, lying lips, to screen the
Brotherhood. Knowing that he was shot by
Fenians who unjustly suspected him, the poor
fellow still "died game" Another story is of
man named ellis. He was seized with
other Fenians, and, in his first fright, he of
fercd to turn informer to save himself He
was brought on the table to testify, and then
refused to say one word against his former
associates The police warned him of his
fate, but he persisted He was thereupon
tried and sentenced to five years penal servi-
tude. Meanwhile his wife and two younger
children were lying ill in fever hospital, and
his two elder boys, employed in a factory, had
workmen threatened to strike unless the sons
of "the informer" were expelled. All this ac-
emulation of misery ellis knew when he
refused to betray the Fenians, and yet the
poor devil faced it all.

care of the Body.

While riding on locomotive last week, and
TALKING with the engineer, as had the privi-
lege of doing, could not but think how much
wiser men were about iron and steel machine
ry than they were about fieshy aud osseou5
machines. The relation of the pump to the
capacity of the boiler; the relations of the fur
mace to the size of the fues; the relations Of the
cylinder, or of the steam generated to the work
to be done-all these things were in the engi-
neers mind. He was continuously watching
every part, and opening and shutting valves
on every side, SO as to keep every part In its
proper condition. The stoker, or fireman, was
applying or Withholding food, so as to keep the
engine in just that state in which it would
work best, according to whether we were run
ming on an upgrade. or down-grade, or Oh
level ground, and according to the number and
weight of the cars being drawn, for we were
drawing long and ponderous train.
How many are there who watch their fur
mace to see that they get in neither too much
nor too little? Men shovel in food without any
regard to what it is going to do. IF it is the
Sabbath day, when they are quiescent, when
they have less air and exercise than on other
days, and when their stomachs are not in a
condition to digest as much food as on other
days, they eat double portion. III IL IS DAY
when they are to undergo severe taxation and
work, and when they can least afford to go
without food. oftentimes they become anxious,
and neglect to eat because they are anxious.
AS general rule, when the body needs the
basis of food less than at any other time, they
eat the most, and when it needs more than at
any other time, they eat the least. Our food
is a means to an end. 1t is simply the fuel
with which we are to raise steam for carrying
on the purposes of life.-H. y. Beecher.
