GENERAL GRIFFIN.-It is stated in
the New York Times that when the
late Gen. Griffin succeeded to the
command Of the fifth military dis.
irct, he Immediately telegraphed to
Washington for permission to remain
at Galveston, "reciting the ravages
of the fever as his reason, and add
ing that for him to leave the city
would "almost seem like deserting
his post" The Times very pro.
perly characterizes this request as
chivaric. 1t displayed the very es.
sence of heroism. Many a man
who would not shrink from dan
ger before the guns of the enemy
would lack the nerve to calmly face
wasting pestilence, for the sake Of
presenting an example Of fortitude to
those compelled by stern duty to re.
main within the constant presence of
the grim death. dealers. The epidemic
has been Of a far more malignant
type in Galveston than in New Or
leans, and Gen. Griffin remaining at
his post as he desired, remained to
die. With many of the citizens of
Texas he was not popula' !; but the
noble resolution with which he met
his end, has entitled him to their per-
petual respent.-Nev Orleans Cres-

The PACIFIC RAILRoADs.-The pub
lie are little confused about the va
rious railroads which bear the com.
mon name "Pacifc," and there is
just ground for their perplexity. Of
course each road aspires to the honor
Of being considered the main trunk
across the continent, and there is
much in name. So we have from
Omaha westward to Jnlesburg, and
destined from Bridges Pass and Utah,
the Union Pacific. From Sacramento
eastward through the tunneled Sierra,
ultimately to meet the above road, is
the Central Pacific. On the south
erly route, from San Francisco through
the great grain growing regions Of
California, and then eastward through
Arizona, is the Atlantic Pacific. Only
short section from San Francisco is
completed. Returning across the
mountains, we ind the central line
from St. Louis TO Kansas City and
Leavenworth, known as the Pacific
railroad of Missouri. From Wyan-
dotte in eastern Kansas to Ellsworth,
and bound one branch to Denver and
another southwest to Santa Fe, and
some day to the head Of the Califor-
MIA gulf, and thence to a junction
with the San Francisco line, is the
Union Pacific, east division. And
finally the road from St. Louis to
Rolla and onward to Fort Scott styles
itself the Southwestern Pacific. This
one will also seek connection with
southern California as we'll as Gal
vestion.

AsenaibIe Girl.

A gentleman feeling strong partial
ity for young lady, whose name was
Noyes, was desirous, without the cpre-
mony of a formal courtship, to as
certain her sentiments. For this pur-
pose he said to her one day, with that
kind Of an air and manner which
means either jest or earnest, as you
choose to take it-'sIf I were to ask
you whether you were under matri-
monial engagement to any one, what
part Of your name (Noyes) might I
take for an answer? 2" "The first, :"
said she in the same tone. "And if l
were to ask if you were inclined to
form such an engagement, should a
person ask who loved you, and was
not Indifferent to yourself, what part
of your name might he take then for
an answer ?'' "The last" "And if
I tell you that I love you and ask you
to form such an engagement with me
then what part of your name may I
ask ?'' go, then, +" replied the blushing
girl, ''take the whole name, as in such
a case 1 would cheerfully resign it for
yours" It is almost needless to add
that they were soon after married.

The great Summit tunnel Of the Sierra,
on the California end of the Pacific road,
to be one thousand six hundred and sixty
feet long, had generally been looked upon
as a three or four years job; but, putting
in practice the underground tactics their
quartz-mining had taught them, our CAL
fornia friends not only began at both ends,
but sunk a shaft in the middle and worked
both ways from that. The tunnel was
commenced last September, and on the
first of May had but six hundred and
feet remaining to be taken out.
This was disappearing at the rate of sixty
feet each week, which promises to have it
completed in August-eleven months from
the start.

Gen. Griffin and Gen. Reynolds Of Texas
report to Gen. Sheridan that Judge Reeves
of the Ninth Judicial District Of that State,
in a charge to the Grand Jury Of his court,
stated he should not receive the testimony
of negroes, as the laws of Congress on the
subject were unconstitutional, and he,
the same facts against Judge DOugherty,
who stated, in the headquarters of Gen.
Reynolds, that as regards the testimony OF
negroes, he would not recognize the law or
authority of Congress, and Will be bound

ports of a like character are coming in al
most daily from the different parishes OF

It is doubtless as beneficial to the in

The scenery around the Springs is

It isjust the place for those wishing to

and forests to satisfy your desire for

run over these hills for a month or
two, you can go home invigorated.
The men who now own the Springs
are such as give society a moral tone,
and take leading part in enter
Prises useful and ennobling. They
will not tolerate drinking intoxicating
liquors or gambling, and all who think
Of coming here for such purposes had
better go some other direction. While
vicious indulgences will be strictly
forbidden, an effort will be made to-
secure all the advantages of heaIthfuI.

has been designed by the Author of
all good, to be benefit to the afflicted.
and it is the earnest desire of the pro-
prietors to use and improve it for that
noble purpose. ANY one desiring
special information in regard to the
Springs, can address NIessrs. Salisbury
& McFersOn, Dumbarton P. o. Minera
Springs, Adams co. Ohio.
As yet the place seems somewhat
remote, but in time it will be more ac-
cessible. At present it is far more ac-
ces5ible than most of the places throng-
ed from far and near by oil-seekers.-
Something more valuable than oil is
to be found here. Health before riches
at all times. One day Of travelling by
private conveyance will bring the Wis
itor here from either the river or Rail
road. Men will endure months of ex-
pOsure, amid forests and prowIing In

a little gold. Certainly no invalid
who is able to travel will shrink from
the task of a days ride, when the fair
prospect of health and reinvigoration
is at the end of the journey.

LYingfn Bed.

1t is often a question among people
who are acquainted with anatomy and
physiology Of man, whether lying
with the head exalted or level with the
body, is most wholesome. Most, con-
sulting their own ease on this point,
argue in favor of that which they pre-
fer.
Now, although many delight in
bolstering up their heads at night and
sleep soundly without injury, yet We
declare it to be a dangerous habit.
The vessels through which the blood
passes from the heart to the head are
always lessened in their cavities when
the head is resting in the bed higher
than the body: therefore, in all dis
eases attended with fever, the head
should be pretty near on a level with
the body; and people ought to accus-
tom themselves tosleep thus and avoid
danger.

Results of Gen. HancOck's In
FI1----gr,

Results of Gen. HancOck's In
dian Campaign.
The st. Joseph Herald Of the Goth
says!
The net results of General Hancock's
campaign against the Indians may be
thus stated After marching eleven
hundred cavalry a distance of eight
hundred miles with prOdigious trans
portation trains, he succeeded in cap
turing one old Sioux with a broken
leg, and an idiotic Cheyenne girl. linz
mediately afterwards three hundred
men of General Custar's command de-
serted, taking their horses with them.
All this is called discriminating the
Indians"
It would be unfair to censure Gen
eral Hancock in the premises. His
reputation as an officer is established,
The censure must fall upon our whole
system of dealing with the Indians
It would cost US less, by millions Of
dollars per annum, to collect the In
dians together on reservations, and feed
them, than to pursue them with Caval-
ry over bOundless plains where each
horse eats his head off twice a week.
