Was He Shot Twice

The Cleveland dispatch to the Pitts
burg Commercial Gazette quotes a
surgeon Of long army experience in
gunshot wounds as saying:
''I'm hanged if I don't believe that
there were two balls in him.
elbow could that be? There was
only one wound"
"That's just exactly what some doc
tors told poor fellow that knew of
in the war. He told them that he
was shot twice and that one bullet
took downward course. aud that
FIVE minutes later another ball struck
him, turned upward and was killing
him. The surgeons examined him
carefully and told him there was but
one wound. But | know | was shot
twice. persisted he; and although
they would not believe, they found
by post mortem examination that
he had told the truth, and that two
balls had entered the body at exactly
the same point. Now if that could
happen on the field of battle, how
much more likely would it be to oc-
cur when that - scoundrel stood
close to him and fired twice in success
siou9 That other bullet has never
been found, you know"
''No, not even at the autopsy"
GAS to the autopsy, the most clari-
table supposition is that when they
found one ball, they gave up looking
for another"

"When We are old, Claude, we
shall still be lovers" she said, gazing
into his eyes with the rapture of a
gifted woman who writes poetry for
the Boston papers. "The warm hues
of our youthful affection shall never
fade, but only grow brighter as we
draw nearer to the sunset. We shall
sit Outin the hush ofthe summer ewes
and feed our souls on the poetry ofthe
stars, shall we not?" "Wellhardly,'
answered Claude, "unless you want
me to remain up until daybreak bas-
ting your old back with arnica."
Then she bit off fresh chunk of chew
ing gum, and the only sound that
broke the silence was the crunching
of her gold plugged lars.-Brook-

A sixteen-year-old girl in Litch-
field, Mass, was blinded last
winter, and now, after six months
treatment in a darkened room, she
has become possessed of a wonderful
sight. Although cross-eyed she can
see eight or ten miles with her left
eye while her right eye is endowed
with remarkable magniiying power,
A young man who spends several
hours a day in a billiard saloon or
pool room, while his mother goes ont
scrubbing for a living, looks very big
to the right eye of this Litchfeld girl,
but he looks mighty small to the eyes
of other people. This is the disad-
vantage of possessing a magnifying
eye.-Norristown Herald.

THE UNION DAM.


A Resolution Passed Providing for Its I'm
81 'prOvement at the Cost of the Owners.
1t will Sc seen by referring to the
Council proceedings of last night, that
the long talked of 'Uni6n Dam Nui-
sance" is to be abated.
Our readers will remember that after
the passage of an ordinance some
months ago, providing for the appoint
ment of a committee to assess the bene-
fits to be derived from the proposed i'm
prOvement upon the adjacent property.
A report was made to the Council, plac-
ing the entire cost of the work upon
the property Of the syndicate, who own
the land. To this report objections were
filed by Mr.. BOckius for himself and
others, but as time wore on an amicable
adjustment of matters was had between
the parties interested, and at last nights
Council meeting all objection to the
COMMITTEES report was withdrawn. The
proposed work will now 90 forward,
and soon the "UniOn Dam Nuisance"
will one of the things of the past.

from the city.
Guiteau was said to be in his cell, and
to be ignorant Of the Presidents death,

General Sherman has ordered all the

GENERAL sHERMAN's LETTER.
WASHINGTON, September l9.-The fol-
lowing is an extract from General Sher-
mans letter in the interest of law and
order in dealing with the assassin
Guiteau which will appear in tO-mOr-
row mornings Republican:
No man on earth holds in higher es-
teen the noble qualities of James, A.
Garfield than myself. Twas on the point
of starting to Chattanooga tonight, to
do honor to the heroes of Ohickamauga,
of whom he was one Of the most prom,l-
nent, but was stayed by the unfay0ra6Gle
reports from his bedside at noon, and |
shall remain here at my post Of duty
until the last moment of hope. know
he intented to be at Chattanooga next
Wednesday. But it is ordered otherwise,
for he now lies by the seash0re on his
deathbed from the wound inflicted by
the miserable wretch, Guiteau.y { !
For this man, Guiteau, | ask no sol
der, no citizen, to feel one particle OF
sympathy. On the contrary, could |
make my will the law, shooting or
hanging would be too good for hlm.
But / do ask every soldier and citizen to
remember that we profess to be the
most loyal nation on earth to the sacred
promises of law. There is no merit in
Obeying an agreeable law, but there is
glory and herOism in submitting grace
| fully to an oppressive one. Our COnstl-
| tuition reads: "No person shall be held
to answer for capital OF otherwise in
famous crime, unless on the present.
ment or indictment of a grand jury,
and; "In all criminal prosecutions, the
accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy
and public trialby an impartial jury OF
the State and District wherein the crime
shall have been committed" .n
This is a solemn contract of the gov
ernment binding on the cOnsciences of
all. Should our President die, the muir
derer is entitled to a speedy trial by
Jury, and | hope he will have justice
done. But it is not my Office, or yours,
or of anybody except the regular courts
of this district, which are in undisputed
power. Violence in any form will bring
reprOach on us all, on the country at
large, and especially on us Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia. All the circumstances
of the shooting, of the long heroic strng-
gle for life, impress me so strongly, that
would be ashamed of my cOuntrymen
if they mingled with their feelings of
grief any thOughtOf vengeance. "Ven-
geance is mine, saith the Lord"
:, | trust the public press will use its
powerful influence to maintain the
good order and decOrum which has pre-
vailed since the saddest of all days in
Washington, July I'd, 1881.
Sincerely your friend,
TSignedl W. T. SHERMAN.

The French War in Tunis.

TUNIs, Sept. 19.--Sabatier summoned
the Caliph of ZaghOuan, and after load
ing cannOns in his presence he said if
the aqueduct was again built he would
lombard the town. He also passed upon
the inhabitants war contribution of
1000 oxen and 1900 weight of barley, to
be delivered in three days, and for each
days delay the inhabitants to be fined
1,4OO francs. General LugerOt issued
an order that any Arab found at the
aqueduct be shot. FOrty-eight French
soldiers perished at Gabe in three days
of ague. 1t is thought the French will
be compelled to occupy Tunis before
they march upon Kairwan, as the latent
excitement increases in several quar-
ters of the city. The abdicatiOn of the
Bey is postponed for the present, but
still impends. Sebatier's column has
been constantly attacked since the 10th
inst. The Arab loss is generally heavy.
