known citizen of this county:
While surveying some Of the decora-
tions in the neighborhood of Prairie ave
nue. and Sixteenth street yesterday morn
ing reporter stopped before the house
of Jessie Spalding which was most taste.
fully draped in emblems of mourning and
was particularly noticeable as standing
out from the midst of a number of ele-
CANT residences which were quite bare OF
such drapery. Espying Mr. Spalding, the
reporter entered into conversation with
him, the result being that the newspaper
man was invited into the house, where
he struck quite an interesting nine of
information relative to The deceased Pres
ident.
Mr.. Spalding is well known as prom
inent, energetic and hard working Re-
publican, always consulted as a safe
counselor, and appealed to in times of
party emergency. 1t was Mr.. Spaldng
who came forward in the last campaign,
when things looked exceedingly dubious
Ill aho ulouoCu ouCll Ill IuUClcSU
among the business men of Chicago that
they gave generous aid to the Republican
cause and started the campaign afresh in
that State. Mr.. Spaldiug went there
personally as member Of the Western
committee and the impetus given by the
work begun here was followed up by the
National Committee, and victory was the
result.
Mr.. Spalding was the intimate friend
of Senator Zach Chandler, and as is well
known was with him on that last sad
night preceding the Senator's death at
the Grand Pacific Hotel.
AS the reporter entered the parlor he
was reminded of this incident by seeing
at the further end a life-size bust of the
great Michigan Senator, executed by
Leonard Volk of this city. The bust
rests upon stand of ebony and is an eX-
cellent work of art. 1t stands against a.
maroon-colored background and by it's
side rests the gold-headed cane carried
by Senator Chandler in his life time and
which was presented to Mr.. Spalding af-
ter the Senator's death by Mrs. Chan
dler
After few minutes talk about the de-
ceased the conversation turned upon the
present bereavement.
"Were you personally acquainted with
General Garfield?" asked the reporter.
"Oh yes," said Mr.. Spalding. "Our
acquaintance was of several years stand
ing
"When did you last see him.
cat his home in Ohio last January"
"Were there any incidents Of the in
terview which you care to make public?"
'Well, my visit was OF friendly char
acter and was very pleasant. During the
interview reference was made to little
incident which occurred in this city dur
ing the National Convention and which |
have thought of a thousand times since
the sorrowful occurrence at Washington.
Two days before General Garfield's nom
ination, / invited him, Senator SAWYER of
Wisconsin and r. M. Pomeroy, Presi-
dent of the Atchinson branch of the In
ion Pacific Railway, to dine with me at
the club. 1t was pleasant gathering
and during it 1 repeated an invitation
which had given on the occasion of the
twenty-ffth anniversary of the organiza-
tion of the Republican party which took
place at Madison, Wis, and at which

more deeply, there was so sudden q
change always apparent that one could
scarcely believe. the fugitives hurryino
over the hills were the same men who
had resisted go desperately but q few
minutes before. They acted wisely I;
they knew their powers in scaling steep

solved with rapidly which no one but
an eyewitness can appreciate. If caval-
~ overlook them, they turned like
wolves and fought with desperation,
selling their lives as dearly as men ever
sold them; but there was no rally in the
true sense of the word, and but faint at
tempts at aiding each other. Their reg
ular troops were but little amenable to
discipline by reason of deficient train
ing, and they resorted to the tactics they
had pursued as tribesmen, when once
they were forced to retire.

In the treatment of this case the pa
tent should be confined on light diet,
and potion of cooling medicines should
also be given-ten or twelve ounces Of
Glauber salts dissolved in six gills of hot
water. AS soon as the liquid is suffi-
GENTLY cool it should be gently poured
down the throat from q smooth-necked
champagne bottle. The tumeied parts
should be kept constantly wet by means
of bandages thoroughly saturated in q
mixture composed of equal parts of pure
cider vinegar and cold water. This
treatment should be well persevered in
for few days. Should the tumor in
the meantime increase in its size and
the parts develop much heat, poultice
of bruised flaxseed should be applied
twice daily for forty-eight or ninety-six
hours, or until the tumor manifests q
fuctuating feeling. You will please note
that no procrastination should be in
dulged in, such as waiting patiently for
the tumor to break of its own accord,
but as soon as the matter can be distinctly
felt by pressure make an incision slant
ingly with sharp knife upon the right
side of the neck as the base of the abscess.
The incision or cut must not be made so
deep as to come in contact with the
spinal cord or marrow. The opening of
the base of the tumor should be made
sufficiently large to allow the pus to
freely escape as fast as it forms. A
seton should be passed down from
the natural opening at the top of the
tumor through the artificial opening
made at its base. Before inserting the
seton it should be dipped in tincture of
cantharides. This will be found the
safest and best plan to adopt for pro-
noting healthy granulation and adhe-
sion of the walls of the tumor. The fis-
tulous track is not probably very long,
and the tape-seton viii work its way
gradually but efficaciously out, by which
time the cure is made. A stimulus il
also necessary to be applied to the in
terror of the tumor by resaturating the
seton, in three or four days after it il
first inserted, with solution made by
dissolving ten grains of nitrate of silver
in one ounce Of GOLD water. This latter
named stimulus should be applied twice
per week until q healthy discharge Of
pus appears; then stop. In the open
ing, from the top down to the artificial
opening at the bottom, should be in
iected three times q week . stimulus
composed Of one draohm chloride zinc
dissolved in one pint of cold water. APP
ply the zinc lotion in half an hour after
using the cantharides tincture and the
nitrate Of silver solution. The tincture
of cantharides should only be applied
once, and the nitrate of silver solution
on the third or fourth day after, and
continue a. long Is found necessary;
but the zinc lotion should be applied
once daily until q healthy 9ranulatiOn
day until the parts heal sound.-N. r.

THE popular impression that New
foundland Is . dependency Of Great
Britain appears to Be erroneous. Lord
Dunraven has just called attention to
the fact that, by the. treaty Of Utrecht,
still in force, fishing rights over the
shore from Cape Ray to Cape John,
comprising about three-sevenths Of the
entire coast line of the island, were So
cured to France, and that country lays
claim to strip of land half mile in
width along the entire western seaboard.
Some day the settlement of conflicting
claims of the English and French Gov
ernments will afford fine field for
diplomatic maneuvering. Meanwhile,
the uncertainty is serious bar to the
prosperity of the whole island. The
Government is debarred from making
any disposition of over 10000 square
miles of land. Nobody cares to pur-
chase or attempt to develop the re-
sources Of the land. Worse still, as it is
subject to no authority, it has become
the refuge of criminals of all classes, for
no writs are effective there, but "every
man does that which seems best to him

Benevolent Mr.. Wixham.

Ar meeting of the Ladies' Benevo.
lent Society, held the other day, it wal
resolved that a committee of four ladies
be appointed to canvass for donations
and in the course of their perigrinationi
this committee yesterday dropped into
Mr.. Wixham's Office. He received them
as gentleman should, and after the
usual formalities one of them began:
"Mr. Wixham, we are asking aid fol

That's very proper. I presume their
stockings are properly darned, buttons
to their places, and they say their
prayers when they 60 to bedp Am
correct?"
The women looked at each other in q
sly way, then at him, and one of them
said:
1--WE shall be happy for any contribu-
tion.''
"Yes'm, yes'm. You don't want this
contribution for your own families, ehP''
No, sir!" answered four voices in 9
chorus.
"Well, 1 am somewhat inclined to
benevolence. Hardly day passes that
I don't do something for charity. Here's

Wixham didn't know it.

with hunger and cold. He said his
name was Tommy -, and he lived at
No. SO - Street. He hadn't been
washed or combed for week, and
felt sad for him. I was going to take
him home and feed him, but he slipped
away"
Another woman suddenly looked out
of the window, and her pulse ran up to
120 minute; but Wixham was as inno-
cent as lamb of any knowledge that it

spokesman.

last fall, and had to pay it yesterday.
That makes me feel rather poor"
The third woman didn't turn red, but
green; but Wixham couldn't have posi-
bly, known that it was her husband.
"Let's see. Let's see. I want to
give all I can spare. Mr.. -, on
Street, owes me four months house
rent, and I'll give you an order on him
for 500.
The four women rose up. They
rushed in a solid body for the door.
They went out in heap, Some were
red and some were pale, and all mad.
They tried to speak, but they couldn't,
and as they fastened to get away from
each other, Wixham held up the half
written order and gasped:
How very, very singular! Perhaps
they thought they couldn't collect the
money. "-Detroit Free Press.

Ferocious Courage of the Afghan.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Calcutta
Pioneer contributes to that paper some
IS "reminiscences of the War in Afghan
istan.' Referring to the fighting quail
ties of the Afghan soldiery he says: San
Afghan never thinks of asking for quar-
ter. but fights with the ferocity of tiger
and clings to life until his eyes glaze
and his hands refuse to pull pistol
trigger or use knife in q dying effort
to MAIN or kill his enemy. The stern
realities of war were more pronounced
on the battle-fields in Afghanistan than
perhaps they have ever been in India, 1t
we except the retributive days Of the
mutiny. To spare a wounded man for
q minute was probably to cause the
death of the next soldier who unsuspici-
ously walked past him. One thing our
men certainly learned in Afghanistan,
and that was to keep their wits about
them when pursuing an enemy or pass
ing over q hard-won field. There might
be danger lurking in each seemingly in
animate form studding the ground. and
unless care and caution were exercised
the wounded Afghan would steep his
soul in bliss by killing q Kafhr just when
life was at its last ebb. This stubborn
love of fighting IN eztre1sis is prompted
doubtless by fanaticism, and we saw 20
much of it that our men at close quar-
tiers always drove their bayonets well
home, so that there should be no mis-
take as to the deadliness Of the wound.
The physical courage which distin-
guished the unframed mobs who fought
so resolutely against US was worthy OF
all admiration; the tenacity with which
men, badly armed and lacking skilled
leaders, chung to their positions was re-
markable. to say nothing OF the sullen
doggedness they often showed when re-
firing. But when the tide of tina fight

THERE is man in this city who once
lost $2O, 200 through twist of the En-
glish language. He was then resident
of California, and San Francisco was
wild with excitement over mines. The
"Blue Ledge" was then blooming.
Shares had gone to thirty times their
face value, and brokers reaped golden
harvest. At length, almost within an
hour, "Blue Ledge began to drop, and
it went down-or rather the shares did
over 200 per cent. before there was q
breathing spell. At this crisis the New
Yorker went to broker and asked:

prompt reply.

"Well, within fortnight"
The would-be buyer knew of stocks
for sale, and before night his entire for
tune had been invested. Quotations re-
NAMED the same for two or three days,
and then "Blue Ledge" shares, $40
each, fell to ten per cent. of their face
value. The New Yorker rushed to the
broker in CONSERVATION and gasped out !:
