True Heroism.

A private letter from Augusta, Ca, to
a Providence gentleman contains atouCh
ing narrative Of heroism in fever strick-
en- Savannah which ought to have q wide
publication as an impressive illustration
of the noblest attributes of human nature.
The writer is explaining that some busi-
ness delay is caused by the grievous
family affliction of an assistant, and goes
on to say
The death of young brother in
Savannah, Monday morning, has thrown
his whole family into the deepest grief
young fellow not much more than boy,
who martyred himself for the good of
the people suffering with the yellow
fever, and himself fell a victim He
was prescription clerk in Lippman's
drugstore there, and when the fever
broke out the whole force left but the
book-keeper and him. A little later the
book-keeper left and Charley ran the
whole thing himself till Lippman ordered
him, by letter, to close the store. Then,
instead of coming home, as his people
kept begging him to do, he replied no.
He felt it his duty to stay and he went
to work in Clay's drugstore, putting up
prescriptions, hundreds per day, no time
to rest, no time for dinner. Clay took
the fever and Charley nursed him, but
he died. Charley still ran the store. His
cook took the fever; he nursed her and
she recovered. Then a young friend,
Symons; he nursed him and got him up,
running the store all the time, day and
night. He wrote his mother: 81 have
to get something to eat the best way
can. My cook is down. have no time
for myself, putting up prescriptions all
day. When night comes, | am so
tired can hardly put one foot be-
fore the other. have not had my
not brushed my hair in four days
This although ordinarily he was extreme
ly neat and careful of his person. 1t
sounds like old army times. Atlast, when
Symons was up, Charley took sick. He
wrote that he had taken the fever, but
was feeling pretty strong and was conf
dent of soon being up and at work again,
kilograms then began to pass, ten or
twenty day: Charley improving, with
good care he will come through all right, "
and everything looked hopeful, when all
at once -" Charley is worse" and he be-
gan to sink, Symons nursing him in his
turn and keeping up constant CORE
spondence with Augusta by telegraph.
Finally kilograms passed with difficulty,
the telegraph boys refusing to carry the
messages in Savannah. 1t was the
worst quarter in the whole city. The
last two kilograms received from Symons
were: ~ will stick to him to the last. "
shall not sleep tonight" And the
brave young fellow kept his word; they
both died the same night. Symons had
never fully recovered, and wore himself
out waiting on his friend. They were
two brave boys, were they not?- PrO0i,

Address of the National Republican Com
i mittee.

NEW York, oct 49, 1875.
To the Republican Party;
The Republican National Committee
congratulate the party which they repre-
sent and the country upon the result of
the fall elections already held. In
Maine a Republican majority of less
than 5000 has been increased to nearly
10000. In Vermont the old ascendency
has been fully maintained In Colorado
Democratic majority of 1900 has been
overcome, and Republican Governor
and both branches of the Legislature
elected, securing two United States Sena-
tors and three Presidential Electors. In
Ohio Republican majority of 6, 800 has
been increased to between 1900 and 10
600, and five Republican Congressman
have been gained. In Indiana Demo
cratic majority of 1900 has been re-
duced to 5000, with gain of four Re-
publican Congressman and the Legisla-
ture upon Joint ballot. These highly
gratifying results have been obtained in
the face of frauds at the ballot-box and
an unparalleled use of money by the
Opposition. They show the drift of
popular sentiment, and clearly indicate
a national victory for the Republican
party in November
All that is now necessary is to con-
tinue the vigorous prosecution of the
canvass, to secure protection for all citi-
zens in the right of the ballot, to bring
all legal voters to the polls, and to praC-
tice the utmost vigilance upon the day of
election.
Fortunately for the country, our can
didates represent the best spirit of re-
form, to which they are pledged by every
act and utterance of their lives. Their
success alone will insure honest ad.
ministration and preserve the Govern
ment from the unfriendly hands of those
who recently sought to destroy it, and
who now seek to prey upon its resources.

Mr.. Daniel j. Jones, residing near
Ebensburg, Pa, recently received note
from Philadelphia inclosing passes for
himself and wife to the Centennial, and
in which the writer stated that he would
meet them on their arrival with his car
riage, and that while there they should be
his guests. A full reading of the note
revealed to Mr.. Jones that the writer, a
perfect stranger, more than twenty years
ago, while travelling in that region in
much distress, was relieved and enter

heard of him since. Now, in opulence
and comfort, he endeayors to express

seven OF Mosby's guerrillas are In the depart

Is farmer In Virginia, and he has never
asked or received anything from the Ad-
ministration. Three men who served under

DEAR SIR Your letter of the 29th of Sep

den, and knew him during the rebellion rs a
Calhoun and Buchanan Democrat. In a
social discussion on the piazza of Congress
Hall, at Saratoga Springs, which was not
private or confidential, he argued to me that
the United States Government had not con-
stltutional authority to use force to prevent
secession, and that no soldier could Justify
such course If sued in trespass; and he open
ly accused me Of ignorance Of the common
law for cohtending otherwise. And 1 am
not aware that he has denied it, Ihear that
Mr.. Mngonc says that Tilden never held
such opinion. do not know Mr.. Magone,
except by reputation; but his reference to
Mr.. Wood, who he says made the statement,
was cut from Virginia paper which in

What elements, besides inspiration and cir
cumstance, 60 to constitute the perfect pun is
it not easy to say; but probably this hitherto
unpublished bon mot in Its charming confus-
ion of the dull preacher, the young steer, the
mature OK, and the famous pupil orator, comes
as near perfection as may be. 1t was at a Me
thodist conference in Canada where a sermon
has been delivered by minister named Steer
who, though worthy maH, was no orator, as
Brutus and Punshon are. The Rev. w. f.
Scott, one of the best known and joliest cler
gymen, was present, and was asked his opin
ion of the speaker and his sermon. "Ah," he
replied, 'Steerll never make Knox"
