AT THE HOSPITAL.

The wounded, as fast as possible amid
the chaotic confusion, were taken to the
old Pan Handle hospital, although 1t had
not been used for this purpose since last
January, and the scene about the hospital
was awful in the extreme. The moans
and cries of the wounded were fearful TO
hear They lay upon beds and unon
lounges and mattresses on the foor. The
confusion made it difficult for the doctors
and nurses. 1t seemed as if they didn't
know what to do first. The scene was
sickening, and MANY stout men turned
away, not being able to bear the sad
sight. iH ~

When you see his barn larger

When you see him driving his

driven from good resolutions, and
that he will certainly work his way
to prosperity.
When you always see in his wood

or more, it shows that he will be

is not sleeping in his house after a
drunken frolic.
When he has a house separate
from the main building, purposely
for ashes, and an iron or tin vessel
to transport them, it shows that he
never built his dwelling to be a fu-

Cor. st. Paul Pioneer-Prsss.
In a special dispatch Of this week
your correspondent at Duluth gave
some notice of a passenger, one G..
Frank Delatros, going down on the
Quebec with a valuable assortment
of furs. The meagre notice he was
able to give of him, of how he had
been concerned in the first discovery
of gold at the Black Hills, and that
he lived so far beyond the range of
civilized interests for the nine years
past that even the noise of the
building of great railway had been
completely beyond his ken, were
by no means the strangest things
concerning him. The adventures
of his youth, though perhaps more
interesting than those of later years,
were not of nature to demand
specials" for paper of the day.
Yet, being unwilling to have your
readers lose even so important an
account Of them as | might be able
to give, made some notice from
the half hours conversation had
with him, the result Of which is
here given:
Why and how M. Delatros came
to be in Paris at the age of twenty
four, and on the eve OF the out
break against Louis Phillip in
lS4S, your correspondent failed to
learn. But that he was there and
that strange things happened to
him, said correspondent has no
reason to doubt; for was he not
offered as a sort of voucher, by NJ.
Delatros-even as 0theri offered to
King Alfred the walrus tOoth-a
dried buffalo tongue from the re-
gion Of Saskatchewan, which may
be the very sign and seal of yeracity
in that country for all be knows.
1t was after one weeks soiourn
in Paris when one fine morning M.
Delatros found about a dozen arm
ed men in the room of his hotel,
who kindly allowed him to choose
between two alternatives, that of
going to work at the erection of
barricades and the pretty sure
death Of defending them afterward;
or the more sure way of being killed
then and there. NJ. Delatros ac-
cepted the first alternative condi-
tionally, viz, that they would first
allow him to put on his clothes, as
he was in bed at the time. In the
affair before the bastile be was
lucky enough to be wounded by
the fragment of shell in the
shoulder, which saved him from
further duty on the barficades and
secured him kind treatment and
medical aid from the enthusiastic

tai fury, and bloolshed, that the
