Randall l.. Gibson, Of Louisiana, to whose
care Gen. Hood, when dying, commended
his orphan children:
New ORLEANS, Aug, so, 1879.
Dear Generals Knowing your love and
esteem for Gen. Hood and his family, |
tthought a9e.y' particulars of the sad event
would not l1o uninteresting to you. Mrs.
Hood, after her last confinement, was bcttcr,
and had an easier time than on any former
occasion. Friday week, feeling so well, she
imprudcntly took bath. Immediately after
she was taken with Il chill Dr. Richard
son having left on the 1st Of this month,
| DR.. Bcmiss was called in. | heard him say
Mrs. Hoods case was the most remarkable
one he had ever seen in his practice; that
there WAS was not Il single symptom of ycl-
low fever, and they did not know that she
had it until the black vomit appeared. She
died at halfpast o'clock, u. NJ, Sunday
night, and was buried ut 10 o'clock, Mon
day morning. | never in my life saw 4 man
so completely crushed rs Gen. Hood was.
| was with him Monday morning till the
funeral. He said he'd rather God should
have takcn every one of his children in one
day than to have lost his wife that he
was completely ruined, and now, without
his wife, he had nothing to live for. The
precious little lambs who had gone to bed
Sunday night, knowing nothing Of their
mothers death, began to come in one by
one, until niue came in, aud such Il scene
| never wish to witness again. After the
children left, he said, "Major, have never
had the fever, but il | should have it, and
it is Gods will, | am ready to go. | have
requested Col. Flowers to take charge of my
children and appca! to the Confederate SOL
dcrs to support them" lie was taken
tuesday morning at 3 o'clock, auu died
Friday morning ut halfpast 3, per-
lcctly in his mind to within ten minutes of
his death At about , clock he asked the
doctor if his time to die was not near at
hand. The doctor said, Yes, General. y
Then minister was sent for at his request
to give him the last communion. As his
death was announced and no hour fixed for
lhc funeral, very few were present. \ de-
tachmcnt OF "Contncntals" fired Il salute
over his grave, and the last sad tribute

How He "L!vENED 1T Up."-There
was oompositor not only discharged from
the San Jose (Cal) HcraId the other day,
but also fred down four flights of stairs by
the inGuriated foreman of that admirable
journal. 1t seems that the typo was re
quested to ''liven up" certain speech de-
livcred at the Workiagmon's State Conven-
ton, held in that town, with the usual marks
in parentho is The ,''jour," who was car
rying little moro beer than was necessary, ;.
just then got hold Of the wrong proceedings,
causing the eloquent resolutions Of Mr.. Van
Arman, referring to the death of member,
to read something like this: "Whcreas,
it has pleased Divine Providence to remove
from our midst our beloved comradc, Azariah
McMuck, Cloud applause who has been cut
off in the flower Of his usefulness (laugh-
tor) and promise, it is Resolved, That we
tender to his borcavcd family (checrs) and

The CALIFoRNIA ELECTIoN.-"Judse
Ord, of San Francisco, now stopping in
this cit, says the California election is
likely to be satisfactory to tho conservatives
of all parties, and may lead to the practical
diabandmcnt Of the Workingmcn's party
whose success was csscptial to its continued
existence. The Republicans, he said,
seemed to have elected the greater part Of
the State officers, while the judiciary will
be Democratic There will, therefore, be
two checks thrown upon the Legislature,
should it attempt to pass laws which are
necessary 20 carry out the extreme measures
proposed by the new Constitution and the
adhcrcnts Of tie parties who supported it.

The Wears Poodle.

have just received letter from the Vicar
of earn, which relates an instance of mental
reflection on the part of poodle dog that has
the merit of admitting neither of mal-observa-
ton nor unconscious exaggeration. The Vic
ar's friend Canon whose name have at
present no express permission to publish-went
to visit cousin, who owned the poodle dog.
will conclude by telling the rest of the story in
my correspondents own words: "The poodle,
whose name is Mor, went into the dining
room with them, and kept quietly under the
table till the end of lunch, when he begged for
a little food, and he was given a small shred of
beef. They returned to the drawing-room,
while the servant cleared away, and the beef
was taken into the larder The dog did not
think he had had his fair Share \
Now he had been taught to stand on his hind
legs, put his paw lady's waist, and hand
her into the dining-room. He adopted the
same tactics with my friend the Canon.
but the sagacious dog, instead of steering
for the dining-room, led him in the direction
of the larder, along the passage, down steps,
&c, and did not halt until he brought him to
the larder, and close to the shelf where the
beef had been put" After giving him
piece of beef, the Canon went up stairs, and
refused again to be led down as before. |
Finding he could not prevail on the visitor to
make second excursion to the larder, he
went out into the hall, took in his teeth Cam
on-'s hat from off the hall table, and car
ried it under the shelf in the larder, where the
coveted beef lay out of his reach. There he
was found with the hat, waiting for its owner
and expecting another savory bit when he
should come for his hat."-Nature.

OF late Chase's Chronicle is getting very
much excited over the prospect of fusion. In
last weeks issue it said: ''The Greenbackers
traded at Augusta last Winter. Uncle So
Ion stood up in the private room of G. A.
White, esq, at the Augusta House, and of
fered the party to the Democracy as an auc-
tioneer would a piece of real estate. The
price to be paid was few Offices The De-
mocracy retained the lions share for them
selves. Nearly every Greenbacker who got
an office is now anxious to trade again to
keep it. These ofiice-holders controlled the
Portland convention and secured platform
that will satisfy the Democrats whether
they believe in soft money or not. If there
is no election by the people this fall Uncle
Solon and G. A. White will sell the party
again at public auction, when the Legisla-
ture meets. BY that time the party will be
traded out. Our convention will be called
and Bill Rust or some other auctioneer will
be nominated for Governor. A mongrel
platform will be adopted and the party
called the National Democracy Uncle So
lon will say it is radical, practical and invul-
nerable, and them steers will pull no more

The Newest Credulitv.

The modern mind considers that the old wo-
man who said "she would believe that Jonah
swallowed the whale, if that were in the BIZ
ble,' was fool; but if the old lady had seen
in one of Mr. Huxley's lectures statement
that fying-fsh had swallowed an albatross,
and had believed it, she would not have been
accounted credulous. A ''ghost" is impossible,
but the generation of force without the con-
sumption of anything-that can be credited at
once. If Mr.. Edison were to say that he had
seen table rise in the air, he would be
laughed at; but if he were to say publicly that
he had discovered a method of lighting New
York for penny week by self-existent cleo
tricity, the price of gas shares would fall. The
notion of q conversion" rare mental opera
ton, which, nevertheless, does occasionally oe-
cur outside, as well as inside, the circle of re-
lgious emotion, is contemptuously ridiculed,
but the notion of new motor produced"
from wlneglaSSful of water is received with
most respectful attention. The preacher who
describes possible time in which all men
shall be Christians, and laws scarcely needed,
is condemned as foolish dreamer; but when
Sir William Thomson looks forward TO the day
when North America shall be lighted by the
electric force generated by utilizing Niagara,
he is only going little too far ahead Of his
generation. We are really not going one inch
beyond the truth when we say there are men
who would reject the central fact of Christian

THE Albany Journal has few words con-
cerning the Bangor show which are of inter-
est and value. 1t says: The Maine Demo-
cratic Convention renominated Governor
Gareelon, and adopted a platform which
shoulders burdens enough of the extra ses-
sion to sink the party hopelessly out of sight
The platform, besides cordially approving
the Democratic raid upon the election safe
guards, favors the free and unlimited coin
age Of silver. Now, if the people of Maine
are ready to endorse ballot-box stuffing as
has heretofore been practiced by the Demo-
Gratis in New York city, Cincinnati and else
where; if they want to enrich the bonanza
men at the expense of the Government, and
if they want to do many other unwise, un-
patriotic and wrongful things as set forth in
bourbon platform, they will elect the
Democratic ticket; but we don't believe the
true and earnest men of the Pine Tree State
will permit any such disgrace to befall them.
Maine lapsed last year, but next time she
will wipe out the adverse score and win
fresh laurels. Mr. Garcelon will be elected
to retire to private life by very handsome
majority. %

boys take kindly to the idea of voting for
man who served his country in the ranks at
sixteen dollars a month, and lived on ''hard
tack'' and ''salt beef" A soldier in the
Bridgton delegation was won over to the
Davis movement by this novel idea when his
name was first presented to the Convention,

MONTGOMERY BLAIR writes to the New
York Sun to say that the ':back-down" of
the Democratic congressionalleaders is but
repetition of their surrender of the election of
1876. Mr. Blair contends that the false position
OF the Democratic leaders on the great ques-
ton of the Union disqualifies them from lead
ership, and compels them to load down every
great question of popular liberty with a de-
fense of that false position.

Boston Transcript; 1t was in the job room.
The foreman had just put into type an elabo-
rate ''iob,' and was stepping back to take a
squint at the justification. A little in his
rear was an open elevator way. The Office boy,
fresh from school, took in the situation with
the wonderful but acknowledged intuition of
the newly-graduated scholar. He had heard of
Michael Angelo in the great dome of St. Pc
ter's stepping back, back, all unconscious in
rapt admiration of his beautiful creation that
in another instant he would be over the stag
ing's verge, to be dashed to pieces on the mar
BILE floor below. He remembered that at this
juncture an assistant flung a paint brush
stepped in paint, full drive at the masters
fresco, destroying its beauty with one fell
stroke. He thought how the great man rushed
to save his darling painting, thus preserving
his own life. Quick as thought the office boy
seized mallet and threw it at the laborious
'job," knocking it into pi. But, alas! how diff
ferently are great minds affected by circum-
stances SO nearly the same. The foreman
didn't rush at the upset type crying My poor
jobl" No, he turned right round and-dis-
charged the boy.
