A Good Word for Whitaker.

To the Editor of The New York Tribune:
SIR: In behalf Of a worthy young
man, endeavoring to stand under a
weight of unreasoning prejudice, I
think it only right that one who has
known his character and antecedents
should say a word to the public. /
may also say in advance, that this
communication is due to no sugges-
ton or solicitation from him or any
Of his friends.
For two years before the beginning
of his studies at West Point, young
Whitaker was a student in the Uni
versity of South Carolina. As a pro-
fessor in that institution, | had occa-
sion, outside of my own department,
to assist the professor Of mathematics
in instructing some OF the lower
classes. In this way | had almost
daily opportunity not only of noticing
Whittaker's department both in and
out Of the classroom, but also of
gaining that knowledge of mental
and moral characteristics which must
come to every teacher whose faculties
are really in his work.
Whitaker not only stood well in
his classes but showed himself an
earnest and conscientious young man.
Naturally Of modest disposition, he
was free from little tricks or devices
to secure favor Or to make his under
standing of his studies seem better
than it really was. These things are
common in the class room, even among
pupils of tolerably straightforward
disposition, and are usually transpa-
rent enough even where innocently
supposed to be quite successful.
Whitaker seemed anxious to master
principles rather than attain a mere
superficial correctness of recitation,
and, while straightforward and we'll
behaved, there was no affection of the
"good boy" character that often COW
ers world of deceit. There are 9TH
ers that can, | know well, add their
testimony to mine in this matter. Is
it likely that of the heterogeneous
medley of characters admitted each
year to West Point all can show a
record as good as Whittaker's?
The most ardent friend of the
Academy will hardly claim that the
weeding-out process there practised is
infallible. The tendency of the West
Point course is doubtless to develop
the character of a gentleman and a
soldier, but it is only to the school
girl that the West Point cadet is a
bright and glorious being clothed in
honor as immaculate as his uniform.
The exacting system of the Acade-
my, where it fails, as it must with
some, may drive in moral leprosy
while producing a gentlemanly and
seemingly honorable exterior.
That some such creatures are now
within the walls of the Academy few
of the public can doubt, unless the
West Point theory" is adopted,
which assumes, virtually, that all have
reached the schoolgirls ideal with the
sole exception of Whitaker, who,

mel and the Great Western Railway
One day while diverting a child with
tricks of sleight of hand, by causing
half sovereign to mysteriously dis
appear and re-appear, stunning dis
aster occurred. The trick consisted in
adroitly concealing the coin in his
mouth, and pretending to bring it out
at his ear. All at once, before he was
aware, and to his dismay, the half
sovereign slipped down into his gul-
let. He tried to cough it up without
effect. There it stuck. Every surgi-
cal device was tried to get hold of it
without avail. It tbecame evident that
if the coin could not be dislodged, ia
tai results would ensue. It was a
matter Of life and death. In the dire
dilemma into which he had needlessly
brought himself, Brunel's presence Of
mind did not desert him. He devised
a wooden structure to which he could
be strapped head downward, in the
hope that the half sovereign would
fall out of his throat by the force of
gravity 1t was a painful experiment,
but life was at stake. He was fixed to
the machine head downmost, keeping
his mouth open. To his inexpressible
relief, the coin dropped from its lurk-
ing-place, and rolled to the floor.
An account was lately published of
the death at Heidelberg Of Mr.. Adolf
Sander, who was formerly in large
practice as a physician in Elberfeld
and its neighborhood. One morning
in 1874, while dressing, he contrived
in some way to get shirt button be
tween his teeth. Unconsciously,
while laughing, the button slipped
into the back Of his mouth, and thence
into the larynx. All the exertions of
his surgical friends to remove it were
vain. 1t was ascertained that it sank
into the right lung, which soon be-
came irritated. Splitting of blood en-
sued, and he was himself looking for
ward to his death as not very remote.
He removed to a villa he had near
Frankfort-on-the-Main to pass his last
days in quiet. Here he was surprised
by a violent fit Of coughing, accom-
panied by splitting Of blood, in par
oxysm of which the button was eject
ed. His health rapidly improved, and
in couple of months, regarding him
self as quite cured, he resumed his
professional work, and endeavored to |
gather up the threads of his former
practice But last year unmistakable
symptoms manifested themselves that |
the lung had not fully recovered from
the presence in its substance of for
eign body for several months. He
spent the winter in the south of Eu-
rope, but returned almost worse than
he went He gradually wasted away,
and died

Fight With A Catamonnt.

The lumbermen ON Little Pine
Creek, in Lycoming county, Pa, have
had evidence for some time that some
wild animal was prowling around their
camp. A few nights ago, Robert Car
son set heavy steel trap on the bank
of the creek, believing the animal was
panther. Friday he went to exam
inc the trap. He reached the spot,
but, although he had chained the trap
fast, no signs of it could be found.
He at first thought that some one had
stolen it, and was about to return
home, when he discovered punches of
halr lying around on the ground, and
evidence ,f struggle in the bushes.
He was looking around for some trace
Of the missing trap, when he was
startled by a fearful howl that pro-
ceeded from tree near by. He look
ed up and saw an immense catamount
crouching on limb. The next in
slant the animal sprang at Carson,
and alighted on the ground within
two feet of him. Carson saw that he
was saved from the claws of the fero-
cious beast by the fact that his heavy
steel trap was fastened on one of his
hind feet. The catamount instantly
gathered itself for another spring.
Carson had an ak in his hand, and be-
fore the animal could jump, he threw
the ak at it, and struck it with such
force that the catamount was knocked
several feet down the hill.
Carson is cripple, and knew that
it would be impossible to get away
from the catamount, notwithstanding
it was hampered by the trap. He
prepared to fight the infuriated ami
NAL as best he could. The catamount
did not give him a moments time to
make up his mind as to his mode of
defense, but rushed at once up the hill
to the attack Carson picked up a
large stone, and when the animal was
almost near enough to him to seize
him with its claws, he knocked it down
again with the stone. Carson says
the shrek Of the catamount made his
blood run cold, and as it seemed to
that the trap was prevent
ing it from springing upon its enemy,
it snapped and bit furiously at the
iron that held its leg. 1t hurried to
the attack the third time, when Car
son dealt it blow on the head with a
stone forcibly enough to stun it, and
then pounded it to death. The cata-
mount was the largest one ever killed
in that region, and Carson firmly be-
lieves that he owes his life to the fact
that the animal was incumbered by
the trap.

Milk and Lime Water.

Milk and lime water are now fire.
quently prescribed by physicians in
cases of dyspepsia and weakness of
the stomach, and in some cases are
said to prove very beneficial. Many
persons who think good bread and
milk a great luxury, frequently hesi-
tate to eat it for the reason that the
milk will not digest readily: sourness
of stomach will often follow. But
experience proves, says the Journal OF
Materia Medica, that lime water and
milk are not only food and medicine
at an early period of life, but also at
a later, when, as in the case of infants,
the functions Of digestion and assimi-
lation are feeble and easily perverted.
A stomach taxed by gluttony, irritat-
ed by improper food, inhamed by al
cohol, enfeebled by disease, or other
wise untitled for its duties-as is
shown by the various symptoms at
tendant upon indigestion, dyspepsia,
diarrhea, dysentery, and fever-will
resume its work, and do it energetic
ally, on an exclusive diet of bread and
milk and lime water. A goblet of
cows milk may have four tablespoon
fuls of lime water added to it with
good effect. The way to make lime
water is simply to procure few Jumps
of unslaked lime, put the lime in
stone jar, and add water until the lime
is slaked and of about the consistence
of thin cream; the lime settles, leav-
ing the pure and clean lime water on

One wants what another has, but he
has not; and he cheats him to get it
The prosperity of one excites the envy
OF another, and the latter turns liar
to sink him to his own level. The
politician and the party man pro-
scrlbes and makes war upon all but
his own supporters. Two men, being
competitors in the same business, be-
come enemies; and, if we credit the
testimony Of each in regard to tie
other, both are rascals whom no one
can safely trust. Some are inveterate
fault-fnders and complainers. Every
body is wrong, and they only are right
The whole orld, with the exception
OF themselves, is made up of fools,
and they only are wise.
Such specifications, we are quite
aware, present the dark side of human
history. We are glad that it is not
the whole story. The world would be
better and happier if it were a much
smaller part of it. It would be a very
good thing to get rid of the whole Of
it, and leave only the gentle, the ami
able, the lovely and loving qualities
and actions to make up the entire
warp and wool Of our personal and
social existence. What is the use in
speaking angrily or discourteously to
another, when one can just as well
speak pleasantly and courteously?
Why snub another, and wound his
sensibility, and perhaps make him
your enemy, when a kind word will
afford him pleasure and secure a
friend? Why contend about trifes
that never pay the cost of the contest?
Why mingle bad ard malignant pas
sions with honest differences? The
temper is profitable to
and is "a general curse to every
body.
Reader, think of the most genial,
peaceful, and best-tem-
pered man or woman that you know
of, and try to mold your own charac-
ter into the same type. If you would
study and initiate the best model that
knows of, take the Man
Christ Jesus and make him your pat
tern. The benediction of God is upon
the peacemaker, and the first condi-
ton Of being such is to be lover of
peace. Those who have tie quarrel
some temper are not likely to study
the things that make for peace.

entering with aogood record, exhibit
an entire reversal of the usual effect
of the Academy system. There i
something marvellous either in th
force Of prejudice or the contaminat
ing influence Of little African blood
Colored students have entered anC
graduated from Yale, Harvard anc
other leading colleges. Their class
mates have been free, individually
either to indulge the race prejudice
outside of the classroom, or to con.
verse, render assistance or associate, as
the case might be, without loss o1
social caste. At West Point, alone, &
higher, more chivalric and Christian
code Of ethics demands not only that
the youth tinctured with negro blood
striving manfully for an education
and honorable position, should be
treated as an unclean thing, worse
than criminal, but also that any
other cadet who may exchange a
kindly word with him or render as
sistance or explanation in some diff
cult problem, should be treated in the
same manner until brought up to the
West Point standard of the honorable
and the true.
Two years ago young man of my
acquaintance, the son Of an old friend,
applied for admission to the Academy.
He had been acquainted with Whitta-
ker in South Carolina, and meeting
him on the ground held short con-
versation with him during which he
was warned by Whitaker that if he
valued his own standing, after admis-
sion to the Academy, all appearance of
friendship must cease. This interview
had, however, already been noticed
and the candidate was soon after sur
rounded by a group Of cadets, cross
questioned as to his acquaintance with
Whitaker and warned that he must
stop that sort Of thing if admitted to
the Academy or take the conse-
quences. Fortunately, the young
man did not pass the examination and
escaped the necessity of giving the lie
to his own better nature.
The disgrace to West Point consists
not so much in the presence of a few
Ku-Klux spirits, more effectually
masked than of old, as in the petty
spirit shown in the past, and lately
by the immediate formation of the
"West Point theory Of the recent
outrage regardless of reasonable prob
abilities. Between the colored boy
struggling alone for years, breasting
the chilling tide Of contempt, warning
off old friends lest they, too, should
share his fate, and the 800 cadets
aloof and ready to strike
down any helping hand, there is some
thing to choose; there may be some
thing knightly and soldier-like in the
Of 1.-The 3OO;" more or less,
perhaps more, those qualities are to

Think Before YOu Do It.

The affixing Of the stamp is in the
majority of cases the last stage of the
letter-writing. 1t is a kind Of sealing,
signing, and delivering. 1t would not
be bad moral habit for man to
pause before affixing his postage stamp,
and to consider whether judiciously
and conscientiously he had not be5-
ter save his money. When once he
has dropped his letters into the letter
boz, he has committed one of the
irrevocable acts of this life. AS you
prepare to affix your stamp, give one
final thought to conscience, whether
you might not alter, improve or alto
gether obliterate the letter. There
may be all sort of wrong and evil con-
nected with letter writing; but to
specialize an instance, you may have
been writing an angry letter. 1t may
be clever, caustic letter, and you feel
rather inclined to regard it approvingly,
considered as a literary production.
But it may be a passionate and unjust
letter. 1t may be unreasonable and
untrue. You may be giving unmerit-
ed pain by sending it. You may Bit
terly regret the moments when your
hand obeyed the immoral behest Of
your mind. You have heard of the
physicians prescription about the Gu
cumber: to peel it carefully, slice it
tenderly, be gingerly with your vine
gar and plenteous with the oil, sprin-
kle the pepper, broun or red, over it
and then fling the mess out of the
window So when you sit down to
your letter, my dear and slightly ex-
cited friend pile up your invectives,
accumulate pour adjectives, be caustic
and cutting in your phrases but just
before you post it give thought to the
ethics of a postage stamp, light your
pipe with it, and save your money
