p. S.-The verdict of acquittal in
General Babcock's case is received here
with divided opinions. Some most
heartily rejoice over it as complete vim
dication. One newspaper says, zen
thuslnstic men on the streets were nomi-
mating him for the Presidency, and bet
ting fifty to one on his election" They
must lave been very enthusiastic"
Others there are who rejoice at the YER
dict, but think the escape was narrow
one, and that Babcock ought to beseverely
on his good behavior, from this time
forth. These think that the Generals
heart must be taken for granted as all
right, but that he had weak head. The
dupe OF such men as Joyce and Melon

out from position of large political in

Another Story about Horace Greeley.

A great many stories are told about the
great editor and philosopher I; his wrath
at compositors who couldn't make out
his cuneiform hieroglyphics his profan-
ity on occasions where little profanity
is not only excusable but is really the
only thing that will serve ones turn. A
friend in New York ten years ago told
the writer "a case or two of the eccentric
philosopher that he does not remember
to have seen in print, and that may be
as mythical as many other things that
cluster about the name and memory of
a great and good man. Greeley was sick
on one occasion, so the story ran, and
his doctor called to see him. Wishing
to feel his pulse, he asked for the use of
an arm, and found, to his astonishment,
that the patient, through some hygienic
whim, was lying stark naked in bed !
The examination over, the doctor retired
to an adjoining room, and was quietly
conversing with Mrs. Greeley about the
case, when he was startled by sudden
bang in the sick room.
"What is that ?" said the M. ID.
ooh, nothing" said Mrs. Greeley.
"The attendant has done something
wrong and Mr.. Greeley has probably
thrown boot at his head.
Soon after there was another commo-
ton as if the broadside of the house was
coming down.
4" What is that?" cried the doctor,
starting to his feet. "Mr. Greeley must
certainly be delirious.
"Oh, no, said Mrs. Greeley, calmly
"the servant hasn't answered the bel
and Horace has merely hurled table
down stairs to wake him up."-COrre.

Buried with His Hat on.

Paschal Lloyd, an aged tenant on Wiley
j. Jones farm, near this city died the
other day. He was 70 years of age.
His dying request was that he should
be buried in the shoes he wore every
day, with his everyday hat on, and his
walking-cane to be placed in his coffin.
1t was done as he requested. He also
asked that the lid of the coffin should
not be screwed on tight. His hickory
stick, with a buckhorn handle, was
placed is his coffin, and at the grave his
friends unscrewed the coffin and lowered
him down, hat. shoes, stick, and ALL

the Royal farm. Rounds of beef weigh

shape of sodawater Is responsible. Ana
the worst of II is that the victims of the wa
ter-habit, are the very men who form our
temperance societies aud who fancy them
selves temperate because they never drink
anything but water.
The deadly effects Of icc-waier arc par
tlcularly noticeable just at present. When
an overheated man desires an attack OF
congestion Of the brain, there is no plan
which he could devise which would bo bet
ter adapted 10 secure the end desired than
that of drinking water Of, or below, the
temperature OF 32o. Yet this Is precisely
what scores of so-called temperate men are
continually doing. 1t is sufficiently IRA
tional and dangerous for men 10 drink
brandy and whisky in hot weather, but 1t
is a question whether ardent spirits are re-
ally more Immediately dangerous to health
than arc the ice cold beverages which even
the most earnest "teetotaers" pour into
their astonished and indignant stomachs.
Water is undoubtedly the most whole
some beverage which we can use, but there
Is a vast difference between water at safe
and natural temperature and the ico-waier
which aloue satisfies the abnormal crav-
ings of the American throat. Let us by all
means drink water, but let us decline TO
endanger our health and degrade ourselves
below the level of The beasts by drinking
inordinate quantities of iee-water. There
Is not single animal-except man-which
ever dreams of conta ninating wholesome
water with ice. The ordinary water of the
hydrant and the faucet satisfies the thirst Of
the wild elephant and the domestic cat.
Poor fallen human nature, on the contrary,
longs for ice, and grstfes its corrupt crav-
ings at the cost of outraged stomachs and
ruined leeth.-N. Y. Times.

SOAR AND DIsEAsR.-The complaints

relative 10 the impurities OF soap have a.
last taken definite shape, and II is averred
by Philadelphia paper, on the authority
of an ''eminent physician" whose name Is
not given, however, that these impurities
are the principal cause OF the growing prev
alence of diphtheria. If tho soap made to-
day does not tend 10 produce diphtheria, II
is strange II it is not the cause Of some
kinds of disorders. 1t is manufactured from
all kinds of vile stuff, the only aim being
to perfume 1t well. It Is hawked about the
streets In most attractive shapes, and sold
for a song. 1t has long been claimed that
the most pungent Of the sO-called French
soaps are the most dangerous, and looking
at the price at which the greater part Is sold.
there seems 10 be no question OF It, Soaps
that once sold for twenty-five cents and
over, can now be had for one-thlrd and less
that sum. Clearly such goods cannot be
trusted. Everybody should be careful OF
the article of this description he uses. Soap
made from the refuse OF a diseased animal,
or from refuse that has been permitted to
decay, cannot be safe, aud the probability
is that vast proportion OF that used to-day
is thus made up. Our people have become
so fastldious that none but the humblest
will use anything but scented soap. The
good old pure article that was once used
by rich and poor alike, is now too harsh
and offensive for the delicate senses OF this
age. People would rather use the delicate
