WAR INCIDENT. - In the new
work by John Esten Cooke, enti-
tied " Wearing of the Grey" the
following anecdote occurs, which
may perhaps be appreciated under
present circumstances
In 1868 the enemy caught an
old countryman near Madison
Court House, and informed him
that he must do one of two things
either take the oath Of allegiance
to the United States Government,
or prepare to be buried alive. He
declined taking the oath, whenlhis
captors deliberately proceeded ia
his presence to dig a grave, and
when it was finished, they led him
t to it and said:
VIII you take the oath ?"
"No!" responded the prisoner.
You had better +" a.
81 won'tl" ava
eff you don't take the oath
you'll be buried alive in that grave,
In the next five minutes |"
The old fellow approached near
er, looked with attention at the pit
yawning before him, and then turn-
ing round with his hands in his
pockets, replied calmly;
"Well 60 on with your dn
old funeral r.

rolled back the, surging waves Of
Raaicalism through all the storms

come you gentlemen, to our EN-

And now this same party, which
has brought all these evils upon
the country, GENES again before
the American people, asking for
their sufrages, and whom has it

A WoNDERFun SKULL. Nearly TWEEN
ty years ago the medical journals of the
world recorded most singular case of
a laborer in Cavendish, VT, who while
engaged in blasting had tamping iron
blown entirely through his head but
who actually recovered within sixty
days. Such a surprising and unprece-
dented result a6 the time Of its an
nounGement was generally disbeheved,
and provoked great discussion, many
eminent surgeons pronounclng 1t ply
sical impossibiLity, but the subsequent
public exhibition of the individual hlm-
self, convinced the most soeptical, and
verified the first report Of DR., John M.
Harlow, the attending surgeon who pub
lished the case. At q very recent meet
ing Of the Massachusetts Medical So
-eiety, this gentleman read paper Civ
ing q history Of the case, and presented
to that body the yeritable skull which
sustained the injury.
The accident occurred September lS,
1S48, and was caused BY the tamping
iron striking FIRE frOm the rock, ex,
ploding the powder and driving the bar,
which was nearly four feet ag by
one and one-quarter inches d heter,
and weighed thirteen pounds, through
his head; entering under the cheek
bone, passing inside an inch behind the
eve and ont Of the top 81 the head IL

opening in the skull was two inches

Al CASE STATED.-A merchant iii
1864 sold $4,000 in gold at@a
premium of 282, and bought gold
interest-bearing United States
bonds, for which he paid 94 ia
greenbaoks. He thus got. green
backs to the amount of $28, 200
for his $4,000 In gold, and he
exchanged the greenbacks for $780,
600 in United States bonds. n On
these bonds the Government has
annually paid him an interest Of
ST. 800 in gold, which is eighteen
per cent. on the $4,000 first in
vested. In four years he gets then
for his $4,000 investment the sum
of 81, 200 in gold, as interest alone.
And yet he is unwilling to take
$4,000 In greenbacks, which with
The interest added makes S37, 200,
for his investment of $4,000. And
all this time his bonds have been
exempt from taxation But this
bondholder, and the radical party
for him, insist that the poor labor
er and mechanic shall toll and
work, harder and harder every
day, to pay this bondholder his
$30,O in gold, and this too, when

Is this fair? Us it just? VIII the
workingmsn of this country con-
sent to tax themselves and their
children to bandkruptcy and beg

the hair. In fifty-nine days the patient
was abroad. Soon after, with his tamp-
ing iron-whieh he carried with him
until his death-he was exhibited In
Barnun's old museum, this city, and
several years after he left the city for
South America. His general health APP
pears to have been good until 1859,
when it began to fail At that time
being IN California, he was taken with
epileptic fits, which finally caused his
death in May, 1861, twelve. years and
eight months after the accident. DR..
Harlow kept himself informed as to the
history of his patient, and on his demise
obtaining possession of both the skull
and the iron; made the disposal OF the
same as mentioned above. --rr t3r--sv

tional principles, the principles ofI
constitutional liberty, that our
country rose to a prosperity and
greatness unsurpassed in the an
mails Of history; they win remem-
Der the days when North and
South marched shoulder to 'shoul-
der together in the conquest of
Mexico, which gave us our golden
Empire on the Pacific --our Cali
fornia and our Oregon-now the
strongholds of a triumphant De-
mocraey Cheers they will remem-
ber the days when peace and plen-
ty reigned over the whole Union,
when we had no national debt to
crush the energies of the people,
when the Federal tax-gatherer was
unknown throughout the vast ex-
tent of the land, and when the
credit of the United States stood
as high in the money marts of the
world as that of any other Gov
ernment (applause) and they will
remember with a wise sorrow that
with the downfall of the Democrat
ic party In 1860 came that fearful
civil war which has broughtmourn-
ing and desolation into every
household ; has cost the loss of a
million of American citizens, and
has left us with national debt the
burden of which drains the re-
sources, cripples the industry, and
impoverishes the labor of the coun-
try. (Applause.) They will remem-
ber that, after the fratricidal strife
was over, when the bravery of our
army and navy and the sacrifices
of the people had restored the
Union and indicated the suprem-
acy of the law (; when the victor and
the vanquished were equally ready
to bury the past and to hold out
the hand of brotherhood and good
viii across the graves Of them
fallen comrades, it was again the
defeat of the Democratic candi-
dates in 1864 which prevented this
consummation so devoutly wished
for by all. Instead of restoring
the Southern States to their con-
stitutional rights, instead of trying
to- wipe out the miseries of the
past by o magnanimous policy,
dictated alike by humanity and
