the following note. Passing over the con-
struction the writer places upon the notice
in the REPUBLICAN, that it ia an implied
charge of plagiarism, with the remark tat
truth is the same whether written by one

highly interesting:

was still standing in 1897. The young men
who stood by my side at the time Of my
visit, were Isaac f. Morse, of Loaisiana;

ticut; HoratiO Seymour. of Rochester, New
york the was the Democratic candidate
Van Rensselaer,, of Albany, New York; and
Robert Fulton, of New York city, were also
with me at the time. Morse became q dis
tinguished member of Congress-, and was,
subsequently, the Attorney General Of
Louisiana. Thomas Seymour became
colonel in the Mexican war. and when
Colonel Ransom, four preceptor). fell at
Cherabusco, Seymour assumed the COM
mand; and ON his return home, was elected
Governor of Connecticut, and went to Rus

Van Rensselaer, was the son of StephenVan

After leaving the field of battle-BrOck
fell in the centre of the feld-I followed
the track of the retreating army, for our
troops were whipped. They fell back to
the high bluff opposite Lewiston, jumped
down the bank. and escaped across the
Niagara river. How they did this l can
not explain. My Impression is that there

The " ark OF An Insane Composer.

Years ago there came to this country
from Germany young musician of con-
siderable talent. Soon he was able to send
for his family, and they settled with him in
Philadelphia. He was devoted to his art,
and worked necessarily. He denied himself
all pleasure, ard thought every moment of
relaxation waste of time. His daughter
possessed soprano voice of purity and
power, and under his tuition she was pre-
pared for appearance in concert. Cnfor-
tunately she made her debut at matinee
where the audience was composed largely
OF ladies, who seldom applauded, and
though she made an artistic success, the
GOODNESS of her hearers depressed her
spirits and caused her to believed she had
failed. The effect upon her father was
most sad. His oyertaxed brain could not
bear the disappointment, and it was neces-
sary to send him to an asylum for the in
sane. lie was complete wreck. At the
asylum for while his requests for music
paper were complied with, and he used mp
1ure after qlire with his mad compositions.
The effect of this work was not good and
1t was no longer permitted him. Exertion
of any kind excited him. Rest, perfect rest
was absolutely demanded. Musicians who
have seen his scores describe them as a
strange mixture of wild ideas, with here
and there beautiful and practical thought,
yet all partaklng of the insanity of the
man. He ls still under charge, and per
manent recovery doubtful. He proves
anew that man can not, with impunlty
defy nature, and that he who will not will
ingly lind resting places in his life's work
will close that life living corpse. The
very years with which he could have done
work for himself and his kind will be
passed IN the darkness Of insanity.

Tho Influence Of Growing Plants upol
Health.


While there may be grave objections to
making conservatory of common living
room, it is certain that few plants. even q
single ivy, may exert beneficial influence
upon the health of every individual whose
time ia passed in the apartment. The con-
ditiOn Of plants may be safely used as a
test of the healthfulness of q living room. If
they grow and flourish, the human plants
that breathe the same atmosphere will
enjoy the same condition OF existence; if
they wither and droop, there is sure
in some form. Now, the prominent evils
of indoor life in modern houses are
that the. temperature is too high,
the air is too dry, there is an undue
quantity of carbonic acid, and in rooms
much used it is almost impossible to re.
move the dust that constantly accumulates,
and is loaded with nOxious influences. But
in order to make plants live and thrive they
must have fresh, pure air, the atmosphere
must be perMeated by sufficient degree
of moisture, the leaves must be frequently
washed to remove the dust, and the car
bonic acid. 80 I'M furious to the human &C.
cupants of the room, will be absorbed by
them as necessary food. Above all, they
must have sunshine, and the direct rays of
the sun are no more essen tial to the de-
velopment of rOsebuds, carnations and vio-
let's than they are to the healthy tone of
the human organism. Those who have
successfully cultivated plants in sit
ting rooms knew the watchful care
and unwearying patience required to
produce this result, and yet the whole
process is included in pure, moist air, clean
illness and sunshine. Human beings certain
ly need as much care as plants, but we will
venture to say that in large proportion of
modern dwelling houses these plain sanitary
laws are almost entirely disregarded The
sunshine is carefully shut out. hot, dry air
pOurs from the registers until the rooms are
like furnaces, and a supply of fresh air is
carefully excluded. If the careless people,
who know SO little of the laws of their
physical well-being, could be induced to
cultivate few plants as companions their
healthy growth would serve a double pur-
pose in the sanitary benefits accruing to
themselves and in the beautiful illustration
of hygienic laws that would constantly cul-
tivate their taste and reward their eare.-

Senator stamp. and tho P.llc. Sin.


Very few constituencies are favored with
. more earnest, persistent and influential
guardian of their interests than the sixth
senatorial district possesses in Hon. T. B.
Stamps. This point was never better illus
trated than on Friday night, when the IRE
form" police bill came up in the Senate
This bill was one of those carefully digested
by committees of the various mercantile
bodies and the City Council. 1t proposed
to limit police expenses to 1886, 900 and re-
quired the Police Board to reduce salaries
and expenses to correspond. 1t was gen
orally admitted that this was an impos-
sibility, although the Police Beard, at its
session on Friday, agreed to meet the City
Hall reformers more than half way on the
road to economical reform. The bill passed
the House and was sent to the Senate
for concurrence. 1t was referred to
q committee, who raised the figures to $780,
000-as accepted by the Police Board-and
recommended its passage. A motion to
amend the report of the committee by sub
shutting $500, 900 was made and lost and
LILO NOtc VI Uuo utWitCoo W &c 0uOut W 10
adopted by vote Of IA to 20. Then Sena.
tor Stamps, whose attention had been
diverted to other matters. came forward as
the champion of the police, and made an
earnest and telling speech. He saw what
Democratic reform meant; he discovered
that the measures the opposition were most
earnestly bent upon adopting were those to
cut down salaries which supported Repub
lican office holders, while enormous reve
nues received by Democratic par tisans were
permitted to stand. He moved to fix the
limit at $499, 000-a reduction of fully six
teen per cent below the present cost-an
argued his case so ably and earnestly that
the Senate adopted the bill to conform to
his views ny vote of 20 to IA, just revers-
ing the vote previously taken. This was
we'll. 1t showed the willingness of Repub-
licans to limit expenditures so far as the
public service would permit, in that impor-
tant branch of the government-the Me tro-
politan Police-even while the criminal
sheriff will continue to receive his enor
nous fees, and the seven wise men at the
City Hall will cost the public as much as
ever.

Many anecdotes are told of Sheridan,
illustrative of his wit and extravaganza. A
good saying is attributed to his son Tom,
who being told by his father that he had
made his will and cut him off with shil-
ling, said he was sorry, and Immediately
added, you don't happen to have the
shilling about you now, sir, do your Then
there was Sheridan's answer to Lord
Lauderdale, on the latter saying he would
repeat some Joke that the former had told
him, pray don't, my dear Lanaara ale; a
joke in your mouth is no laughing matter"
One of his practical jokes was taking
DowtOns gig to come to town, while
Dowton. with all the patience and sturdi
ness of dun, was waiting in the parlor to
see him. To show his careessness in none Y
matters it is related that the butler once
found the window frames stuffed with
papers to keep them from rafting, aud, on
taking them out saw they were bank notes,
which Sheridan had used for this purpose
some stormy night and never missed them
