The Lesson of KaIIoch's Election
From Missouri Republican


1t Is a common idea among discontinued
classes IN our society that if they could
capture municipal, state or national cleo
tion,and put their Representatives in office,
they would obtain remedy for all their
ills, real and ideal. They entirely forget
the fact that social conditions are not CON
troIlable by individuals, and that even if
their chosen representative is as intensely
devoted to their interests after the cleo
ton as he was before. his power of carry
Ing out loud sounding promises is limited
Dy law aud by irreversible social conditions.
The election of Kalloch to the mayoralty
OF San FRANCISCO was partly owing to his
attempted assassination, and partly to his
assumed representation of the anti-C Chinese
and anti-railroad element. He promised
all manner of radical reforms. and, among
other things. that if he we're elected, the
Chinese would go, and the influence of
railroad monopolies would be eternally
smashed. OF course, all sensible men knew
that this was the talk of reckless, living
demagogue, lwho made the word Of prom.
Use to the ear, and broke it to the hope, but

A few DAYS AGO one Of the m,

A ~ p .'g@Has EHEsgs FF-f
A few days ago one of the convicts. a
German, sent to the prison Office a letter
addressed to Louis Miller. in New york.
The letter was written in German It
was translated by the prison authorities,
az letters OF convicts being read before
they are sent to the mail. The convict
was Louis Miller's uncle, audit appeared
from the letter that he had a faint idea
OF his surroundings, if indeed be was at
all aware that he was in prison. he said:
II am in Sing Sing. Ihaye a good lob
working on shoes-pleaty to eat and a
good warm room tc sleep in" The letter
described the work IN the shop, and
closed by advising his nephew to come
and get a job in the same shop, 1t was
not long before Louis Miller came up,
only committed and sentenced for a
State Prison ofense. He was a
dense-witted German fellow, about
20 years old. Louis had not been in
prison long before he was taken sick.
He grew worse, and on May II, 1873, he
died. Word was sent to his old mother
! New York, and she came to Sing Sing
in great haste to take away the body Of
her boy, SO that s.The doctors couldn't
cut him up" The Warden had pro-
vlded him with a suit of clothes and
a stained pine coffin, and he told the
poor old mother that the State would
bear the expense of sending the body to
New York. She counted her money and
inquired how much it would cost, to bury
the boy when she had him in that city.
The Warden told her what itwould prob
ably cost at the lowest. Her eyes filled
with tears, and she said that In New York
she could only give him a pauper's burial.
So she stayed at the funeral service in the
hospital and followed the body to the
prison graveyard on the hill-side.-N. Y.

Gently forwarded two bullets to the
Scientific american so impacted in each
other which were also picked up on
the same fields. He says that at the
time of the retreat of the Federal Gen.
N. P. Banks, after his defeat in at
tempting to capture Shreveport, La,
in the summer of 1864, he Uieut. Col.
McLaughlin) was in command of one
OF the retreating regiments. A portion
OF his regiment was thrown forward on
the flank of the main body in skirmish-
ing order. These two bullets, he says,
were impacted in the air between his
skirmishers and the skirmishers of the
enemy and fell like spent ball near
the head of the column of the main body.
A drum-major seeing the missile fall
near him picked it up, thinking it to
be a spent bullet, but found the two
bullets welded together. He afterward
presented it to Lieut.. Col. Mclaughlin.
One of the bullets belonged to a larger
bore rifle than the other, and the larger
one is stated to have belonged TO the
Confederates, as it was of a caliber
then known to be much used by them
and somewhat larger in bore than the
rifles used by the Northerners. 1t is
supposed that the larger bullet had
travelled a shorter distance than the
smaller at the instant of impact, and
possibly had been propelled by a supe-
rior quality or quantity of powder.
This together with its weight is
thought to have had the effect of driv.
ing the smaller bullet back beyond the
line from which it was fired.-M. Y.
