or strong, caustic solutions. DR.. Sage's Ca

ANOTHER OLD CITIZEN GoNE.-Mr Nathan
iel Isley, who until few years past resided
aud did business in Portland, died at Chelsea
Mass, at the age of 50 years, on Wednesday
last-the same day that Mr. Nathan Ilsley, le-
Gently of this city, died there Tho diseases of
these two gentlemen were of a similar natul @.
and it is.a singular coincidence that two of cur
former citizens, bearing the same name thou, b
not related to each other, should have remov-
ed from this place to die together, on the same
day and of the same disease, in the same city
in another State. The remains of both were
brought here and. inferred yesterday in tie
Eastern Cemetery.
Nathaniel Ilsley was the father of musical
family, composedsof three sons and as many
daughters, who have all ranked high in The
profession, and who now, we believe, reside in
New Jersey. In the first concerts started in
this city by the "Old Folks" Mr. Nathaniel
Ilsley was the conductor. He always took a
great interest in music while living here. At
ter his children had married and moved awav
they came here once or twice and gave an
llsley Concert for the benefit of their father.

road opened, was one-quarter that OF the Port

distance. This of course did not include the
amount carried through to Boston over the P.

young new road as compared with the older
one. 1t was voted that the stockholders au-
thorize the directors, if in their judgment they
shall deem it expedient, to issue bonds to the
amount of 100000, payable in not exceeding
thirty years with an interest of 6 per cent pay

THE CHANCES In BATTLE.

When the famous Marshal Sou1t yis-
tied England, story appeared In the
newspapers to the effect that, some
English veteran had declared the hero
must bear charmed life, for that he
the soldier) had covered him with his
rife upward of thirty times, and yet
never hit him. It is not at all surpris-
ing that the uneducated believed some
men to bear charmed lives, when we
remember Napoleon at the bridge Of
Lodi, and again at Arcola, where, it
is set down in history, the Austrian
artillery swept off everybody but him,
self within circle where ne was stand
ing, yet he led the way across the
bridge unharmed--th though the grape
ratified in a perfect hail-storm around
him. The same may be said of Well
lington at Waterloo, where, it is re-.
ported, that every man OF his staff was,
either killed or wounded, and he had
for while to do their work until 9TH
ers could be brought up from the 9th
er line, he escaping all the while un-
touched. Many more instances. Of
such exemptions from the havoc going
on all around can be found in history :.
but these are two remarkable cases,
familiar to some people. It will be
found that the majority of officers of
the higher grades survive not only one
but many battles. Mr.. Galton esti-'
mates this majority at sixty per cent. ),
but his figures do not bear out his theo-
ry. He has selected a list of thirty
two of the most eminent commanders !:
but of these only seven died on the
field of battle, which would make the
proportion seyenty-eight per cent.
The most formidable enemies an army
has are camp-fever, privation, over.
fatigue, and too great exposure to heat,
cold and damp, and the carelessness.

as many men as the bullet does; and
yet the bullet kills its thousands, not.

vor of the escape of any individual

after the fashion of Bonner's Ledger,
that il proposes contracting with
twelve distinguished United States
Senators TO furnish it with contributed
articles on interesting subjects. SEN
ator Morton, of Indiana, is to furnish
the first article-on Chastity" Es-
say No. 2, on Temperance" will be
written by Senator Yates, Of Illinois.
Senator Sumner will follow, on the
subject of Domestic Bliss" No
will be furnished by ex-senator Ben
Wade, and will be on the subject OF
" Beauty Of Expression" the object of
it being to denounce the profane hab-
it Of swearing. Senator Harlan OF
Iowa, will contribute powerful
letter on Honesty the Best Policy in
Public Life" with illusions to Indian
Treaties generally. And Senator
Sherman Of Ohio, will supplement
this with one on the "Art of Getting
Rich Easily" Senator Chandler is in
reserve upon any of these subjects,
should the regular contributor fail.
The Enquirer has a good card in these
essays. .
