While on visit to Bristol last week
we we're introduced by Mijor H. G.
Wood, of Scott County, to very Won
derful man, Mr.. ]. r. s. Wilhelm, of
Scott County. Mr.. Wilhelm is now the
Sheriff Of that county. During the late

They had an agreement that in the event
of either being killed the survivor was
to have the remains Of the fallen one

At the battle of Mcdowell, Wilhelm re-
ceived what was pronounced by the sur

Through Afghanistan
IAN the Year Round. !


To those who, without experience in
the matter, read of large body of troops
"marching through" this or that coun-
try, the words are no doubt somewhat
vague and without meaning. Marching
in England and in Afghanistan are two
very different affairs. / don't know a
more pleasant occupation than tie for
mer; or a more weary, heart-breaking,
tiresome one than the latter. The work
begins about an hour before daybreak, at
a very time when all are in their sound
est sleep. The drummer or buger at the
main guard awakes the drum-major,
drummers, fifers and buglers and then
the dead still of the night is succeeded
by the din and noise of tune familiarly
known as ''the General" of which the
chief object is to rouse up every one. In
less time than it takes to write these
lines, the camp is a scene of the most
fe rful noise of all sorts and kinds.
Tents are being struck and packed; ma
tive camp followers are screaming at and
abusing each other, and officers, as well as
men, are up, dressing with all possible
speed, and not in the best Of temper at
being suddenly plunged, as it were, out
of their comparatively warm tents into
the cold and confusion and noise and
worry of the coming day.
Camels are screaming and roaring at
having their burdens adjusted; camel
drivers are cursing the animals they
have charge of, and are not using pleas
ant language to their felIow-men; horses
are neighing, and trying their best to bite
and kick each other. In short, for nearly
an hour after the first bugle-call has
sounded there is a perfect chaos Of CON
fusion and noise. BY degrees it subsidies.
the day begins to break. The "fall in"
is sounded, and those who witness the
scene for the first time are amazed at the
regularity and order of the troops as
they take their places at the rendezvous,
or parade in front of where the tent Of
the main guard was half an hour before.
The roll is called quickly; the COM
mand given to form to the right or left
as the case may be; the reports are made
to the commanding officer, from whom
the words, "quick march," issue; the
band strikes up, and the regiment, bri'
gade or division is once more on the
move. In Afghanistan, as in other parts
of the East, the length of the march is
regulated by the supply of water It tile
hating places. Sometimes the distance
is as great as 16, 1S and even 20 miles;
in other instances not more than 8 or 9.
As rule, however, / should put down
10 or IL miles as the average distance
from one halting place to another.

A Very Remarkable story.
New Haven Palladium

The story is told of a Hartford gentle.
man who lost 800 in bills, and remem-
bering that he had had the money last at
his butchers, went there to learn that
lust after he had left a man came to the
shop to make some purchases. He felt
in his pocket as if he had lost something.
Then looking down he saw roll of bills
on the floor, picked it up and counted it.
There was just 800, and from it he paid
for what he had bought. A week later
the second person returned the 500 to
the first, with the following strange ex-
planation: On the day referred to he had
been out to Windsor to collect some
money, and in his haste to return to
Hartford thrust it, 800 in bills, as he
supposed, into his vest pocket.
When he went into the market above
referred to, he naturally felt for his
money, and missing it, looked around fol
it, and saw the roll on the floor, which he
supposed was his own. He had used il
during the week, and only on that day
had he put on his working-coat. While
at work he wanted match, and in feel
ing through the pockets of his coat, to
bis astonishment he found the 800 ht
had put there instead of into his vest
pocket. As soon as possible he went t.
the market to see if any one had lost tha
sum of money, and this led to genera
settling all around. He did not know a
that time that he had been suspected o
the theft, and did not imagine that h
was in danger Of arrest.

Control Over a Wife's tic mains.
fROston Advertiser |

Judge Morton, of the Supreme Court,
gave decision yesterday in the case Of
Nathaniel Weld against Gideon Walker
and others. The case involved the ques-
ton of the right of the husband to de-
termine whe his wife shall be buried.
and his right to control the remains after
burial. The defendants are Gideon
Walker, George Ivers and the Forest
Hills Cemetery Association. The plain
tifi's wife, Mary Weld, was sister of
the wives of the defendants, Walker and
Ivers. Mrs. Weld died August 9th,
1875, and was buried, with the consent
of the plaintiff. in lot in Forest Hills
Cemetery, owned by Walker and Ivers.
The plaintiff alleged that he is the
owner of lot in Mount Hope Gene
terv, where his father and mother are
buried and to remove desires tile b 'dy Of
his wife to that lot. The owners of Forrest
Hills Cemetery refused to grant him
leave, and this bill in equity WAS accord
ingly brought to restrain the defendants
from interfering with the removal of the
body Ivy him. The proprietors of the
Forest Hills Cemetery appeared merely
to have the question of right determintG
by the Court. The decision of the Court
was in favor of the plaintiff Judge
Morton Std that the husband has quai,
right of property in the remains of hi
wife. This arises from the n arness u
his relation to her and the duty to SET
that she is properly buried. Out of thi.
duty and the nearness of the relation
grows the right before burial to direct thu
place of burial.
If the wife were buried during the ab
sence ef the husband, he has the right
upon his return to remove the body fol
burial in lot which he may provide
But further than this the jude though
that from these views OF the law thert
was involved the ri.ht in the husb1nd t.
change the place of burial of the wife, i
there is a change Of circumstances. Tht
fact that the husband consented to th'
original burial was not conclusive. Th'
right of the hush nd was, however, no
an absolute right. If he should act il
wanton disregard to the rights of thu
other relatives, or to the eeings of th'
community, court of equity would NJ
doubt restrain him. But his rights viii
be protected by a court Of equity wher
he acts properly.

1t may be mentioned that the English
Army is the most expensively dressed of
any in Europe; this is partly conse-
quence, no doubt, of their system of vol
untary enlistment, which makes it neces-
ary that the soldiers life, and especially
his dress, should appear attractive to the
vagrant population from which recruits
are mainly obtained. The greater cast
illness Of the cavalry uniform, and the
way in which the troopers coat is bediz-
ened with tags and embroidery, would
seem to indicate that the cavalry is | IS
popular service than the infantry, need
ing special attractions; as indeed is
only natural with an insular peo-
pie, the inclosed nature of whore coun-
try affords little scope for cavalry opera
tions, while that branch seldom takes a
part in the isolated expeditions to distant
regions of which the military records of
the nation are ma My composed. In the
British, even more than in other armies,
the leading part has always been played
by the infantry, and its triumphs have
always been associated with the proves
of that arm. But although the British
uniform in all branches is costly, the re-
suit to foreign eyes is hardly commensu-
rate with the outlay. What these people
term "smartress" is the thing now most
aimed at in their uniforms; smarlness at
present taking the form of a retench-
ment of the skirts of the tunic till hard

enormous shake, and his trousers tucked

try, has very forlorn and top-heavy ap-
pearance, although the effect in the mass
is well enough. But in undress no
skirts at all are worn, and smartness
takes the form of an almost indelicate
tightness of dress. To see one of their
tall troopers - for although compared
with us the English are small race, they

he rallied, and turning over one day

He was told that it had been made for

General Considerations for Con.
---- sumptiyes. -

lFortnlghty Review.
A very few general observations mus
conclude this brief survey of winter
quarters In searching for q winter
health resort, what do we desire to avoid
and what do we desire to find? There
are three things which we desire to avoid
especially when they are combined
together, as in our winter climate, and
these three things are damp, cold and
variability. 1t is the combination ol
these three conditions which m kes the
climate of England SO unsuitable and
even dangerous to many persons.
II gives rise to the distressing catarrhal
conditions which are so common, and
which often lead to graver disturbances
of health. 1t is the cause of attacks OF
acute and chronic rheumatism, of many
forms of neuralgia, and not infrequently
it is responsible for serious inflammation
of internal organs. This combination Of
climatic conditions, necessarily associated
with clouded and sunless sky, pro.
duces further depressing effect on the
mind and spirits. 1t, need scarcely be
said that the more sensitive the organiza.
ton, the more acutely will these unfavor.
able conditions be felt.
What we seek, then, In q winter
climate, is the opposite of these condi
tions viz. dryness, warmth and equa.
bility: But it is always difficult to get
all we want; besides, as a matter of fact,
while some invalids require combina.
tion of warmth and moisture, other:
need warmth and dryne>s, while Others
do better in a combination Of cold and
dry air; but no one wants combination
of cold and damp, and all desire sun.
heat, clear sky, and as much of it as
posi- lie; and we shall find, as n rule, the
value Of winter climate depends on the
number of clear and sunny days, or the
number of days and hours during which
an invalid can take exercise or be in the
open air. .I..
The mere absolute amount of rainfall
seems of small Importance, provided the
nature and inclination OF the soil is such
that the water drains off rapidly from the
ground, and that there are long or fire.
quent intervals Of clear. sunny skies. In.
deed, as l have already pointed out
heavy rains often have Il salubrious effect
in cooling and cleansing the atmosphere
1t seems quite clear, too, that dlurnal
variability Of temperature, even within
wide limits, does not render aclimate un.
healthy even to invalids, if it is also a
dry climate and the invalid learns to pro-
tect himself from the possibility of sud
den chill.
Nor does humidity, when accompanied
with moderate warmth, seem to be neces-
sarly unwholesome, especially in oceanic
climates. There are obviously many
other details demanding consideration,
which the limits of review article pre-
vent me from dwelling upon. One word
however with regard to the expense at
tending a change of winter quarters,
which proves such an obstacle to many
an invalid. Let me say to him in the
words Of DR.. johnson, ''Sir, your health
is worth more than it can cost" and let
me remind him, in the words of another,
whose name | Can not at this moment re-
call, that eff Life without money is not
much, money without life is nothing at
all"
