Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.

Special Dispatch TO the Cincinnati Gazette.
PHILADELPHIA, July PA private
soldier of Hancock's corps, at Gren-
vile, Pa, having been requested to
organize Hancock club, responds as
follows:
st. Clair, A. Nulholland, S445, Walnut
street, Philadelphia:
DEAR SIR-YOurS of the 18th inst,
is at hand, asking for my cooperation
and assistance" with a view to organ
izing Hancock Club" in this place.
/ am compelled to state that there has
been a CLUB" already formed in the
town-immediately after news from
Chicago was received. 1t was organ
lied, though. as Garfield" club, and
all the old soldiers of this place, with
one or two exceptions, belong to it. l
was in HancOck's corps the Second)
and served from August II, 1862, until
May 81, 1865, and have an honorable
discharge, but at this date don't pro-
pose to have my share of fighting go
for naught. 1t is not Hancock per-
sonally that l object to, but it is the
party who nominated him.
You also say it is appropriate that
the great soldier of Gettysburg, who
shed his blood upon our soil in defense
of his native state, should receive our
support. Very true; still thousands
more besides Hancock "shed their
blood" and, 1 doubt not, many greater
than he.
As / said before, / am sorry that /
can gather no material vote of soldiers
in this place out of which to organize
Hancock Club" They train in the
other crowd. There are several here
who are loud mOuthed Hancock men
mot sOldiers), some of whom during
the late war called Hancock's corps
Lincoln hirelings," and who, when
the draft was about to be made,
skipped for Canada. And there are
others who said of me, when in the
Anderson prison pen, that l fought to
starve to DEATH" Can l so far forget
myself as to vote for the party which
tried for four long years to dissolve
our glorious union? No! Hancock is
good as a general, but he trains with a
very bad crowd.
If my memory serves me right, I
think you were colonel of a regiment
in our division. which was the red
club. belonged to company G, 145th
Pennsylvania volunteers, and if you
wish to know more of me you can do
so by addressing any of the officers of
my regiment.
If l live till fall I shall vote as 1
shot. Respectfully yours,
A. A. YEAKEL.

candid endorsement of Garfield. He
then wrote as follows:
The struggle was stubborn and pro-
tracted, and although it closed by the
defeat of all the aSpirants the friends
of Grant have the consolation of know
ing that a gallant soldier and not con-
irving politician carried off the prize.
But Garfield is more than a good sol
der. His honors on the field of battle,

his superiors, are equaled at the best
by his scholarlike tastes. his great abil-

Coal Oil Johnny.

John Steele, the Goal Oil Johnny
whose astounding prodigality made
him notorious throughout the country
is now well-behaved and reasonably
prosperous farmer in Franklin, Pa. 1t
was in 1864. when he was just 81. that
the striking of oil on a farm that he
had inherited began to yield him an
income of $4,000 a day. The wealth
turned his foolish head, and he began
to spend the money in a most reckless
and grOteSque manner. Hesquandered
all his property in three years. His
wife managed to get hold Of $4,000,
but that was lost in a bank failure.
Steele gradually meto his senses, went
to work at his old occupation of team
ster, next became a railroad baggage
master and slowly saved enough mon
ey to buy the farm on which he now
lives.

owner who was watching him was

ALCOHOL AND FROsT.-A London
medical journal says: when a man
takes a glass of spirits and water he
feels warmed, but the sensation is the
direct result of nerve stimulation
which means nothing, and will do moth
ing in the way of heat. Unless food
is taken with alcohol, there is no adj
dition to the stock of nutrient fuel
The spirit passes away and leaves the
organism colder instead of warmer for
its exhibition, unless, as we have said,
food be taken at the same time. The
motion of keeping the cold out by a
glass of warm spirits is wholly illusory.
The effect produced, when the potion
seems to do good, is nervous and men
tai. In so far as it acts at all, the
stimulant must do harm by relaxing
the skin, and leaving it more exposed
to the facilitating action of external
cold"

From the Novel Of the Future.

There was a loud noise like the re-
port of an Overcharged cannon, the
burst boiler sent the splintered iron
and steaming vapOr high in the air.
Marianne, the engineers lovely daugh-
ter, was carried with the debries. and
assembled with frightful velocity in the
direction of the clouds. As she flew
heavenward, the employees held their
breath and shut their eyes-the spec
tacle was fearful to witness. But
Young John, assistant, who had adj
mired Marianne from afar, was alive
to the emergency. Selling a flying
machine, upon which he had just OBJ
tanned a patent that morning, he strap
ped it to his broad, manly back. ana,
spreading the wings Of the machine,
vowed he would rescue the girl of his
heart or die. On he flew in the direc-
ton his loved one had taken. He
reached her just as her red head had
plunged through a cloud. 1t was but
the work of a moment to clasp her to
his bosom. "Savedp came from the
crowd below, who had been watching
the scene through telescopes" ETC.
