A Noble Boy for West Point.

Oswald Morrisey, New York boy, twelve years
of age who in June last atthe risk of his life rushed
into a burning house and rescued sleeping infant
from the flames, is about to receive an honorable
and wedeserved recognition of his heroism The
facts relating to his noble bravery are that as he
passing along the street the shreks and screams
of frantic mother were heard as she ran out of
burning building, calling on some to save her
infant child 1t was on bed in room in the top
story of one of those high tenement houses peculiar
to New York and as the flames appeared TO be gath
erng around that room, even the most coura-
geous fremen refused the mothers appeals TO
rescue the child, believing their efforts would be
fruitless to it, and would only result in their
own deaths. Oswald heard this refusal Of the fire.
men and his resolution was fixed Flngng down
the box of salt, which he was carrying home, and
asking in what room the body laid, he rushed into
the burning building amid the almost sitting smoke
and bounded up the stairway. He was gone some
five minutes-few ever expected to behold him again
The building appeared to be engulted in flames

WEST VIRGINIA SENATOR DAVIS.

1t is said that Senator DAVIS, of West
Virginia, WILL at the expiration of his term
of Office, retire to private life, MS he will not
be n candidate for reelection. We regret
to hear this Senator DAVIS has peculiar
ideas about keeping books. He early
learned their mystery when in the employ
of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, and he
has been keeping books ever since When
first inducted into political life he kept
Republican books-plenty of credit, but no
debit; then Democratic ledger where the
accounts were reversed. He since sought to
teach the ignorant Treasury officials, and
while his laudable endcayors have brought
forth nothing, yet his perseverance has
kept those unfortunate flnnnciers busily
employed trying to learn something,
We shall miss Senator DAVIS, but then
the attitudes of Cheat Mountain and sur.
roundings will, perhaps, be the best place
for him and his financial views. There he
can do no harm, and possibly much good
There is some Illicit whisky trade in that
region, and when there, if the ex-West
Virginia Senator will only calculate how
much revenue can accrue to the Govern
meut by taxes honestly paid on the same
and use his influence to have it done, VIZ
will give him the credit of knowing how to
strike proper balance in his books, il
nothing more. If ho do this, we will crJ
him Eureka! and will not object to his
summerising at Deer Park, where he can
always find plenty of company in want oI
something to amuse, and which doubtless
would be much edited at hearing him dis
course upon his very peculiar double-entrl
financial doctrines.

rely upon no machinery" save the prop

and by these they hope TO secure not only
his nomination at Chicago but his ultimate
Inauguration as President. If these ends
cannot be reached in that way, they will
not be reached at all. The friends of Cen

POLITICAL RIBALDRY.

Neither BLAINE nor SHERMAN nor EDMUNDs

and therefore the friends of these gentlemen
find it easy to admit that it is possible for
good Republicans to oppose any or all of them
without necessarily deserving to be treated
as alien oncmies.-NcU York Tribune.
This is a specimen orthe ribald nonsense
with which the leading anti-GRANTi journal
ofthe country feeds its Republican readers
The interests of neither SHERMAN nor
BLAINE can be promoted a whit by such
ribaldry. Those two statesmen are the only
competitors for the Chicago nomination who
have established literary bureaus, from
which are issued a line Of ammunition

The case Of Mrs Edward Meyers, Of Rond-a

of woman's power of endurance. This lady
had been treated for months in the usual way
for Erysipelas of the hand, without beheft.
Not until her hand had become mass Of pu-
trifed flesh, did she turn to DR.. Kennedy, pro-
prietor of the "Favorite Remedy. for help.
. O BE informed her that it was impossible to
save the hand-it must be amputated She
received this terrible intelligence quietly, de-
clined to take ether, stipulating merely to
hold her husbands hand during the operation,
and underwent the painful process without
moving muscle or uttering groan. DR..
Kennedy then gave "Favorite Remedy" freely
to cleanse the blood and prevent the return OF
the disease, and Mrs. Myers now lives and
rejoices in her great deliverance.,
