Charlottesville, within short distance OF
the Wilderness Tavern, and crossing Mine
Run, where Meade lost so much time on a
high railroad trestle the railroad also crosses
the lines of march of Grant after he left
his camps around Culpeper and crossed the
Rapidan at Raccoon and Germania fords.
The Wilderness at the present day has
only changed as far as building small station
houses and incipient towns along the railroad
goes. 1t is one the poorest pieces Of country
in Virginia, originally dug over to find sur
face iron ore; these ore pits have been
changed by the rains into gullies, which fig
ured in the great battles thereabout. All the
trees in sight are either sickly oak or a
stunted pine. There are few creeks Of any
kind running from the Wilderness proper
until you come to the sources ofthe Mattapo-
ny, where the country grows more fertile.
This region is sort of hill land, between
the sources of various rivers, whose original
soil of clay mold was washed off by the
heavy rains, and has long ago disappeared in
to the river bottoms.
They were getting out railroad ties at about
every point we saw in the wilderness, and
also hoop staves-the former to 60 to Eu-
rope. All the bodies on the Wilderness and
Charlottesville battle fields have been dug
up and removed to the cemeteries at Spottsyl.
vania and Fredericksburg-those beautiful
cemeteries where almost all the dead are un-
known, but which alone embellish this evil
country, the deadly mudhole of the world.

nutritious food; that they cheat them
selves by putting into their stomachs
material which fills up but does not
strengthen; that much Of their boasted
economy in feeding themselves consists
In the manufacture of favors rather than
in nutrition for blood, bone, nerve and
muscle, and that as result, while the
head and brain of France, being gener-
ously feed, is brilliant, the body, repre-
sented by the bulk of the people, being
semi-starved, is weak and puffy.
Look at the average physique of a
Paris street car load Of passengers and
ask yourself if in America you ever saw
SO large proportion of puffy, wheezy,
asthmatic, clumsy, undersized, badly
put-up men and women? This comes of
generations of semi-staryation, bone soup
warmed over and watered over and over
again, and musty sour wine and water.
1t comes of living on highly seasoned
scraps. 1t comes of French fiction that
shavings and sawdust will make strong,
healthy men and women, if only seasoned
50 as to resemble the flavor of good, fat
beef and mutton.
1t won't do. France, in feeding her
bone and sinew, has approached near the
condition of the unfortunate horse whose
economical owner would have taught
him to subsist on shavings had he not
died Just as he was getting accustomed
to such diet. Twenty-nine or thirty
millions of people have been working and
semi-starving in this manner for hundreds
of years.

Boughton had thought the matter out

Boughton had thought the matter out
patiently and carefully, and had decided
that the position of favorite and son-in-
law of the Great Mogul, though dazzling,
was precarious; that he should simply
surround himself with unscrupulOus
enemies, who would sooner or later effect
his murder or his disgrace; and that even
those who were his friends at first would
come to regard him as an upstart and an
alien, usurping the riches and the power
that should belong to one of themselves.
1t would be wiser to use his great inhu-
ence over the Mogul to promote the
interests of the company, whose servant
he was, and look to the company for re-
ward, which though less splendid and ro-
mantle, would be safer and more endur-
ing. So he dismissed the fanciful dreams
which for moment had filled his brain,
and chose the humber and more prudent
course.
But Shah Jehan would not hear of
Gabriel Boughton's going empty-handed
away. He invited him to take up his
abode at the palace as chief court physi-
clan; and this invitation Gabriel thought
it advisable to accept because his pres
ence at the Imperial Court would
give him excellent opportunities for
pushing the interests of the COM
pany, besides enabling him to lay the
foundation of a private fortune. Several
other successful cures following close
upon that of the Padshah Begun estab-
lished Gabriel Boughton's reputation, and
spread his fame far and wide. His popu-
larity was extraordinary, mainly perhaps,
because, as he never meddled with polit-
ical matters, foreign or domestic, no one
was jealous of him. How long he re-
mained at the court of Shah Jehan is un-
certain; but he at any rate did not leave
until he had seen the MoguIs promises
most amply fulfilled, and the company
reaping the fruits Of these liberal
concessions. The richest province of
India was thrown open to the Eng
lish traders, free of all duties and pay
ments whatsoever, and from the granting
Of that extraordinary privilege the East
India Company dated its first great stride
toward the wealth and power which
eventually made it the arbiter of the des-
TIMES of India Historians are often apt
to overlook the small causes from which
great events spring. And most of the
historians of India have wholly ignored
the claim of Gabriel Boughton to be con-
sidered one Of the true founders of the
British Empire in India. A less public
spirited or far-sighted man would have
used his..immense influence over Shah Je-
han for his own selfish aggrandizement.
1t is to the undying honor of Gabriel
Boughton that he did otherwise, and
thereby raised the East India Company
from struggling body Of coast traders
into the richest corporation ef merchants
in the world 1t is this fact, we feel, that
renders worthy of more detailed nara.
tive than we have ever yet seen allotted to
to in any single history, the romantic
episode Of the surgeon and the Mogul's
daug ghter.
