WASHINGTON, August 17.-General
Swain drove down the street this
forenoon and entered a cafe for a
moment. While there he was at
once forced to submit to inevitable
questions, The subject of the wound
was broached, and the general picks
ed up card upon which the bill OF
fare was printed, and said: "The
wound now, since the last operation,
is about as long as a perpen dicular
direction" With these words,
he measured off on the card
about three-and a half inches and
then he said: "And when the dress
ing is removed it is open, and one
may look into it about so far" With
this he measured off again on the
card the distance of about tive
inches.
"Why," said a bystander, eve
had no idea that such a hole had
been cut in his back
"It is fact, nevertheless" re-
piled the general.
When asked what the pulse was,
he said that this forenoon it had
been fitting up and down from 11O
to 120.
"Does it vary frequently" was
asked.
"Yes, it varies constantly" he re-
piled, as he hurried out.

Died.,

Benjamin T., third son of Campbell Delo-
zier, August Sd, 1881, in his 18th year. He
was working in tunnel on the Cincinnati
Southern Railway, about five miles north of
Emory Gap, and received wounds the LIST of
August by the falling in of the brick wall,
which caused his death in about forty three
hours, after assuring his parents that he
was prepared for death, and telling them
not to grieve for him. He said to his
mother that he loved her best; could not
always be with her, and not to weep for
him. Soon after his eyes closed in death
and he slept the sweet sleep that knows M
waking. He was an affectionate, obed;ant
ON, kind and loving brother. But now
ne is gone from the sorrows and troubles Of
this life to home of rest and peace. We
mourn at our loss but rejoice at his gain.
