A correspondent writing the Enquirer
from Wheeling, Indiana, relates the fol-
lowing incident: sf
will give you o true joke, which l
think is worthy of room in your columns.
Some time ago lady Of this State, hav-
ing buried her only infant, became dis
satisfied with the married life and parted
from her husband; the reason we can
not comprehend She went away with
her fathers family. Shortly after she
went away she had an occasion to take
q car ride. 1t appears she desired to
pass for married lady, so she made
herself large doll, about the size Of a
young baby, and wrapped il up well, so
that no one could discover the difference,
and holding it in her arms she entered
the train. By chance there was very
fashionable young man on the train,
with a fine gold watch in his vest and
gold ring on his finger, and she, taxi
ing seat with him, holding her
baby in her lap, they fell into
conversation. She got hold of his
watch, and appeared to be much de-
lighted with the timepiece While she
was holding il in her hand he loosened
the chain from his vest and threw it
around herneck. Having possession
of the watch, she next wanted to see the
gold ring on his hand. He took it off
and placed it upon her finger. Presently
they reached station, when the lady,
looking out at the window, said TO the
gentleman: There is my brother-in-law;
hold my baby while l speak with him.
SO saying she laid it in his lap, and in
great haste left the car. After few
moments the gentleman thought he
would take look at the baby, and un-
folding it found to his surprise that it
was a large rag doll, the only pay he re-
ceived for his gold ring and gold watch
she was gone.

The Only Surviving Revolutionary
Soldier.

The Washington Republican says:
The rolls of the Pension Office furnish
us with the name of the last surviving
Revolutionary pensioner, and the only
positively known Revolutionary soldier
alive. His name is Daniel Frederick
Bateman, now residing in Freedom,
Cataraugus county, New York, where he
has resided for the past sixteen years.
Previous to that date he had lived many
years in Wyoming county, i'll the same
State. In conformity with the law of
the United States, of the 18th Of June,
1882, and the special act of February
%, 1862 a pension of $500 a year, pay
able semi-annually, and commencing
July l, 1866, is paid to the aged veteran.
Mr.. Bateman is now about l09 years old,
and makes his mark as signature to the
pension receipt. May he live long to
enjoy the amount awarded by the Gov
eminent for his patriotic services.
We are informed that there is still an
other relic Of the times that tried men S
souls in the person of an old Revolu-
tionary soldier, upward of 100 years old,
now residing in Newbern, N. c., but his
name is not on the pension rolls.

must be expelled by violent artificial means,

recognizes the improvement of the general
health as essential to the cure of all local all

pharmacy has ever brought to the assistance
of nature in her struggles with disease, has
been cordially approved by practitioners of

TrOchu's Defence.

General Trochu's defence, delivered before
the National Assembly and printed IN e.rtenso
in the HERALD of yesterday, must be pro-
nounced a failure. 1t proves that the General
is not without the faculty which, as rule,
belongs to his countrymen; but it most GER
tainly does not prove that Trochu is an able
general or great man. A more miserable
case was never made out, in similar circum-
Stances in the history of the world. To his
credit let it be said that he did not think
France in a fit state to 60 to war with Prus-
STA, and that if his advice had been taken
France might have avoided the SORROWS Of
Sedan. His weakness, however, became appa-
rent the moment he came into contact with
the Empress. He came back to Paris, as the
representative of the Emperor, before the
battle of Sedan but in place of at once making
himself master Of the situation and bring
ing the Emperor back to the capital
he yielded to the stubbornness of weak, un-
reasoning woman, against his own better
judgment, and thus brought on France first of
all the terrible disasters of Sedan and all the
subsequent sorrows. According to his own
confession the defence of Paris was from the
first a display of useless heroism. Yet for
months upon months he persisted in this use
less defence, wasting life, wasting property,
demoralizing his country, and without any good
reason disgracing himself. Until we read this
defence we had some faith in Trochu. Now
we must admit that this war and the revolu-
ton which has grown out of it has brought to
the surface but one man, and that man is
Gambetta. Gambetta failed; but on the page
of history his name will live, and, unless we
greatly mistake, the present generation of
Frenchmen will do him honor. Trochus de-
fence, while 1t does him no honor, reveals a
rottenness in the imperial system which we
cannot explain. We know of no parallel in
the whole history Of the past to the weakness
of the imperial army. In our judgment
Trochu's defence has killed the empire.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1871-06-30

he feels strong enough to sustain all the trials
Of Presidential contest and all the necessary
drudgery of the Presidential Office. But If
after his election he should become disabled
from physical exhaustion for his official duties,
General Hancock would be able satisfactorily
to I'LL his place; for General Hancock is
powerful man, still in the prime of life, and
democrat both on the old and the new de-
parture. In his case, therefore, as Vice
President becoming President, the democracy
would be amply fortified against the hazards
of another Tyler, or Fillmore, or johnson,
striking out for himself on "a new departure"
for the succession.
With that significant little Ku Klux speech
of General Sherman at New Orleans
before us we hailed that great soldier
as the Moses providentially appointed
to lead the democracy through the
wilderness and over Jordan into the promised
land. With that significant letter of General
Sherman from the Comanche Reservation,
declaring substantially that he did not want
the Presidency and would not have it on any
terms, we began to despair of democratic
restoration. But their cause is Frightening
again on their ''new departure" like that Of
the French Bourbons, aud there is no telling
what may happen in these revolutionary times
in Europe or America. Unquestionably there
are elements of great strength and cohesion
and solidarity, as Kossuth would call 1t, in
this democratic idea of Chase and Hancock.
1t is powerful team on the new departure,
and with the cooperation of the powerful
New York team of Tammany Hall it would
probably pull the democracy through to Wash
ington. In the very sound Of this ticket Of
Chase and Hancock there is strength. Let the
democracy adopt it, and they will have no de-
fensive battle to fight in 1872 on dead issues;
but they will be free to take the offensive and
to carry the war into the enemy's camp.
Chase or Hancock will hardly do, but Chase
and Hancock is splendid ticket even for the
fight against General Grant
