A Bloodhound's Gratitude.

The Detroit Free Press tells re-
markable story Of a bloodhound's graft
tude at Andersonyille. The prisoners
were allowed to go out in squads, strong,
lY guarded to collect fire wood, One
day it was the hero's turn to CO. and for
the first time since his imprisonment he
caught sight of "Colonel Catchem," the
big bloodhound. The Michigander no.
ticed that the dog limped painfully on
one of his fore feet, but gave the matter
no special attention until, after being
out for half an hour, he sat down to rest
near one of the guards. The dog ap.
preached the guard as if to ask some
favor, but was repulsed with an oath
and threatened blow. He then skuk.
ed arourd and came near the prisoner,
who saw that he had an old horseshoe
nail run into his foot With little
coaxing he got the dog near and finally
pulled out the nail, and the animal ran
away seemingly well pleased. Twelve
days after that, one night about mid
night, tunnel was ready. The pris-
oner was long time getting clear of the
neighborhood, and weak and starved as
he was he was not more than two miles
from the stockade when dav broke, and
"Colonel Catchem" was put on his track.
When he heard the hound coming he
looked for tree, but failed to find one.
Armed with q club he took his stand,
and determined to make fight for it.
The dog recognized the man and began
exhibiting every sign Of friendship. AT.
ter few minutes the pursuers were
heard in the distance. The dog at once
trotted off in that direction, and was
shortly baying and leading them over a
fictitious trail. The prisoner pushed
ahead for half an hour, and was then
rejoined by the dog, who kept either
close to his heals or just ahead Of him
all the day, and beside him in the
woods at night. This position of guard
ian or companion he maintained until
toyard night Of the second day, when he
Returned tothe stockade,s The prisoner
was then 80 miles away, but on the
fifth morning he was captured. When
he returned the hound met and caressed
him. From that hour to the close of
the war the dog would notttake the trail
of the escaping prisoner. ..s 1-.'

Remarkable Cases.

Among the very many remarkable
cures affected by Warmers Safe Kidney
and Liver Cure, may be mentioned that
of Charles S. Prentice, of Toledo, Ohio.
who was by its use restored to health il
a few weeks, after he had tried the treat
ment of some Of the most eminent phys
icians Of France, England and America
without benefit. His trouble was
Bright's Disease. Another is the cure
of Peter Showerman, at the age of sew
enty years, after greatly suffering for
forty years from kidney and liver diff
culties. Testimonials of these and others,
can be seen.

not long ago, and it was not long before
o Galveston News reporter was on the
spot interviewing one of the principles.

81 don't care a cent what you say
about the shooting, but / have one little
favor to ask"
The reporter said he would grant it
cheerfully if he could.
"Well," said the shootist, ~ want you
to put down that my grandfather was
one of Laftte's pirates, and the worst
cut-throat Of the gang"
The reporter stared little, but the
shootist went on to say:
"Please put in that one Of my uncles
was hung by the Vigilance Committee
in San Francisco, and two NOSE Of them
are making shoes IN the Illinois peniten-
tiary; that another one Of them is prac-
ticing law in New York, and my only
sister ran away from home With the
clown Of a circus; that as far as you can
learn there is not member of the fam
lily that has MT done something dis
graceful"
"Why, what do you want all that in
the paper rF"
because am sick Of reading in the
papers that every fellow who has q little
shooting scrape belongs to one of the
most respectable families in the couE'
try. Just put it down for once that one

belongs to highly disreputable family
If you don't put it in that way you'll

Adelaide Nelson's Confession.

Yet, Bohemian, or not Bohemian
Adelaide Nelson was about to tix the

The necessity for keeping her secret nc

berself told me last Summer that she
was engaged to be married to Rear Ad'
miral Glyn, the naval officer who took
the Prince of Wales out to India, and
whose standing at court is Of the high,
est AS his wife her life would have
been a delightful one. Certain circum,
stances would have barred her presenta-
ton to the Queen, but there are many
ladies of fashion and standing who do
not enjoy that honor and yet who go
freely into brilliant and aristocratic So
ciety and hold their own there. This
would have been Adelaide Nelson's po.
sition.
She would have had gentleman of
birth and distinction, and one who
adored her, for husband, and her house
would have been the rendezvous for the
brightest, gayest and most entertaining
in all classes Of London multiplex life,
When she told me last year of her in
tention to marry and leave the stage, l
ventured to say that l thought she was
unwise to do SO. Her revenue from the
stage life was very handsome, and the
aduation to her beauty and talent was

one clergyman whose genius seemed 70

Ripley, of the Tribune, who was origin

Henry Hurlbert of the World was aao
a clergyman of; tha same denomination,
A native of Charlestown, S. c., he
graduated ht Harvard Divinity ,sFIool,
and for awhile preached at Watertown,

remember hearing George Ripley saying
some years ago, "When minister gets
out of business he.always goes into in.
surance. He can work there when he
feels like it, and few of them feel like
it." This is true Not one clergyman in
a thousand who abandons his profession
ever attains eminence. The three l
have mentioned above are almost the

THE CARE OF THE INSANE.

REPLY OF THE NEw-YORK NEUROLOGICAL SOCIETY
TO THE REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC
HEALTH
The New-York Neurological Society has published
the report of committee appointed to consider the
subject of insane asylum abuse. The committee
consisted of Drs. I. A. Mcbride, Edward c. Sptzka,
L. c. Harwood. VIM. j. Morton. f. c. Seguin. l..
c. Gray and William A. Hammond. The report Is
the answer OF the Neurological Society to the report
of the Senate Committee on Public Health relative
to lunatic asylums The latter document re-
Gently published after delay of several months,
although synopsis of the report published on
the day the Legislature adjourned. Tins synopsis
the Neurological SOcietys reply suematlzcS as
garbled, grossly unfair and untruthful," ana IL
intmates that the gaTbled report was gwen TO the
press with the object of forestaling public opinion
OF the complete report of the Senate Co'1mittce 1t
is said that Z" it Is so recklessly sanGerouS. It's
statements so glarlngly false lis lnueldOes so ma
liclous IN character, its qubbling so utterly be-
meath the dignity which Senate committees have
heretofore exhibited its intention TO crush out by
every unworthy means the rights OF tnose, who IN
the interests Of humanity, addressed a respectful
petition to the Legislature is so strongly evident,
its object to impngn the motives lrJure
command to lessen the social and professional
standing of those Who had the petition in charge,
and who signed it, is SO clearly apparent that your
committee feels decacy in referring TO the out
rage in language which VIII admit OF no mlsunder-
standing"
The reply OF the committee tien Considers III ut-
tail the charges and imputatOns against the society
and its committee contained IN the Senate document
By lett rs and af1idavts il suhsantaes the denials
and refuta;ions of these CHARGES. In turn, the
report charges the Senate Committee with wllfuy
suppressIng evidence III the examination before It
by excluding all documentary evidence, and by
compelling the signcrs of the memorial for tie re-
form of abuses to verify ther statements by their
own knowledge. DR.. Hammond did testify, never
theeSs. of his own knowledge that the supcrin-
tendents were not chosen from among physicians
who have pursued special studies in neurology; that
there were assistant physicians vino were just out
of the too elementary medical schools; ;
that he knew of asylums within the
State Which did rot possess proper instru-
ments for making examination of their patients,
and that he knew of other WRONGS and abuses.
These charges he supported by instances thai had
fallen under his own observation, but they were Of
no avail.
The Society's committee charges that the Senate
Committee had no intention TO hear the real facts
and that the examination was carried on IN qulb-
bling and tricky manner Ii sees, however, in
changes recently made for the better III some OF the
asvupns the the augury of more thorough and
lasting reform in the future" 1t is understood
that a call for an investigation will be made before
the present Legislature.
