a Washington dispatch Of last Thurs
day, says:
Gen. McNeil's rejection VAS enforced
by the very decisive vote of 81 nays

upon adverse reports from the Judiciary
committee accompanied with state
ment TO the effect that Geu. M.Seil, ia
the year 1852, while in command of U
$. troops at Palmyra, Mo, orlele,l the
execution Of citizens OF that neigh
borhood, who bad been arrested, but
not yet tried on general charges Of bush
whacking, and did execute 10 OF them
as a measure Of retaliation for the alb
duction and supposed mur,ler Of union
men in the same county. McNeiPs or
der required the execution of these pris-
oners ii tho missing uniohists were not
nothing was heard from the latter. the
order was carried into effect by McNeils
provost marshal upon the designated
day. It was also stated by member
Of the judiciary committee in executive
sessions that tho life of the | lth prisoner
WAS spared by the provost marshal upon
an enforced condition that the honor OF
the formers wife should he the price of
her husbands release, and that Gen.

mock and courler.i


A Thomaston man was crossing the
railroad track in that town the other
day when his foot became fastened in a
"frog." Every effort to release himself
was unayailing, and to add to the un-
pleasantness of the situation he knew it
to be very near time for the train. In
vain he stfqIggled-the foot stuck fast.
The c.ld drops Of sweat stood out on
his forehead in profusion, and his soul
turned sick with fear, as far away he
heard the ominous whistle Of the fast
approaching engine. lie shrieked aloud
for help, and tore at the death trap
with fearful frenzy.
Nearer and nearer rnslRd the awful
mass, the ground trembling and quaking
beneath its weight. On, on it came
while the sickening fear Of death made
the mans heart stand STILL Nearer,
rearer came tho moving messenger Of
death, and with diabolical shrek went
past. And then the Thomaston man
thought what fool he was not to re-
member that he was on n side track that
hadn't been used for six years. He
pulled his foot ont of the boot, removed
that article from its position, put it on
the end of club, aud kicked himself
al the way home.

This pertinent question is one always
worthy of attention. There is another
question which should be answered first,
namely: What Is coldl The old idea
of ''eold" is perhaps, nearer the truth
than the modern notion of s'cold.'
The hypothesis would seem to be that
a ''cold" is something more than cold,
because it is said, sYou cannot catch
cold unless you are cold" The fact, is,
there are probably as many diverse oc-
currences grouped and confounded un-
der the generic title of cold-catching as
diseases covered by that popular term
fever, which IS made to comprise every
rate in which the pulse is quickened and
the temperature raised. By parallel

IL is question whether it would not

potash FOR making soap rather than to
use his wood ashes FOR that purpose.
To make soap he only requires potash,
yet when he teaches the ashes be only
takes the potash which hc wants, and
also extracts the soda, magncsia and
some phosphate Of lime. The two form

and the phosphate Of lime nearly SO.

wastes the soda aud magnesia and a

Russian officials arc said to excel
in stealing. Millions Of rubIes van
ish annually from the state exchequer
nobody seems exactly to know how.
The latest achievement, upon scale
of unprecedented grandeur, of this
class that has come to public cogniz-
ance, is the theft OF 1900, 600 pounds
of iron from the Jupasau iron works.
in the mining distric OF Ufa. II is
believed that the whole stan of
officials employed in these works has
been concerned in the gigantic trans
action, which has but just come to
light, and small hope is entertained
Of bringing direct cnlpability home to
any individual.
