TO the Editor OF The EVENING STAR:
think the citizens of Washington generally
will sympathize with Mr.. Ward in his efforts to
Retain his business here / certainly wish him a
safe issue out of the raid just now being made
upon him, and hope he may not be driven away
from the city, for he is of the active. public
spirited sort of people We cannot very well afford
to lose But will not that gentleman and his
ir1en,iS admit that he has been just little bit
offensive and Careless OF the rights and feelings

How People Die.

From the London Spectator.
Miss Nightingale has pointed out how con-
stantly the mental state Of the dying depends
on their physical conditions. Asa rule, she tells
US, in acute cases interest in their own danger
ia rarely felt. 'Indinerence. excepting with re-
gard to bodily suffering, or to some duty the
dying man desires to perform. is the far more
usual state. But patients who die ofconsump-
ton very frequently die in state Of seraphic
Joy and peace;the countenance almost expresses
rapture. Patients who die OF cholera, periton-
tits, etc., on the contrary, often die in . state
approaching despair. In dysentery, diarrhea
or fever, the patient often dies In state of In
difference. Those who have carefully examined
the dead on battle field or In the streets after
an ezne,Gte, are struck with the fact that while
the expression on the iaoes Of those Who have
died BY gunsh0t wounds Ii one Of agony and
distress, the dead by sword have calmer ex-
preston, though their wounds often seem more
painful to the eye. A very careful observer. who
was through the indian Mutiny, entirely con-
firms this. After giving several instances, be

Not GvvendOlen's Foot,
From tho Chicago Tribune.

''You have stepped on my foot!"
The murmuring zephyrs OF juno morning
were kissing with dewy breath the rose bushes
that were soon to burst forth in wealth of bud
and blossoms; the twitter Of the robin and the
meadow lark rose cheerily upon the cool, fresh
air that came from beyond the hilltops in the
west, and athwart the eastern sky faint bands
Of crimson light, rosy harbingers Of the golden
flood that was to come, made q vivid contrast
to the deep blue Of the zenith, while over all
was spread the solemn hush that comes before

he did shortly afterward, the fort would be OF
no use TO the enemy, and would have to be
evacuated. Under these circumstances de-.

PROVIDING FOR THE FUTURE
With every prudent and rational man
the reasonable probabilities of the flu
ture enter into ana constitute a part
of the present. To feel anxious and
troubled in regard to coming events
does not generally help us much but
to provide for them in a wise and
proper way, as far as possible, is the
duty of every one. To hoard up mo-
ney, or anything else, with view of
adding to our possessions, without re-
gard to the use of the things thus
gathered, is base and selfish act, in
which there is nothing noble, in fact,
scarcely human. But to gather wealth
in just and honorable way, and as
the result of active and honest indus
try, is not only right, but in every re-
spect commendable. To lay aside mo-
ney and keep it for future use, when
no specific use presents itself as likely
to occur for which the money will be
required is an almost certain way to
engender and encourage covetous
spirit which, by a law of our nature,
has always a tendency to unfit man
for any real, earnest and active inter
est in the welfare of those around
him. Even his own welfare and that
of those Immediately dependent upon
him, are in this way oftrn lost of, his
one constant thought being, "How
shall / get little more?"

He is not only practical and very

The YARD PARTY This party
came off as advertised, on Friday and
Saturday nights last. The rain on
Friday somewhat interfered with the
success of the party on that evening,
but there was goodly attendance on
the night following. Speech-making
and games amused the crowd in the
early part of the evening, and after
the refreshments had all been disposed
of, balloon was sent up, which gave
great satisfaction to the Juveniles who
were present. The receipts for the
two nights entertainments amounted
to about $500.

Around their cheerful board large
circle is always assembled, and the
laughter and good humor is kept up
with spirit. Certain newspaper stories
about Col. Ingersoll have lately added
to their fund of sport; one such vera
cious tale puts the great atheist down
as playwrlter, and announces that his
drama of the "Wild West" will be
brought out in Philadelphia early in
September. All such dramatic honors
the Colonel blushingly disowns, along
with the dog, whose remarkable intelli-
gence and great career has lately been
filling a column of print. He never
wrote play and he never owned the
dog whose performances put the pup
of DR.. Faustus entirely in the shade.
Beside Mrs. Ingersoll, her two daugh-
tiers, and her mother, the family con-
sists of Mr.. Farrell, who is the brother
in-law and publisher of the host, with
his vie and little girl. Mr.. and Mrs.
Gilbert, of Chicago, who are cousins of
Col. lngersoll, and Miss Ida Farrell, of
Peoria, are at present visiting at the
cottage, and with this bright group at
their own piazza, they are seldom seen
at the hotel, except during the concert
hours. Both of the Misses Ingersoll are
accomplished musicians, and their
fathers sympathetic appreciation OF
this srt is only another strong side of
his rich and complex nature.
