A Renaissance of the War.

During the civil war there was, right
ly or wrongly, lamentable prejudice
entertained against brevet rank and
-brigadier-generals. Lincoln's estimate
of the comparative value of the mules
and brigadiers gobbled up by Confed-
crate raider-the army mule was affec-
tionately known as a "breYet horse
is known to most readers; but there is
another story, scarcely less compliment
tary, and much less familiar. Accord
ing to the anonymous libeller, during an
active engagement, a colonel, while
bravely leading on his men. received a
terrible blow in the head from the frag-
ment of shell, which completely ex-
posed the brain. He was carried to the
rear. and intrusted to the care of sur
geon, who at once resolved upon heroic
treatment, and removed the brain bodi-
ly to remove the brain bodily to repair
the decorations. While he was absorb
ed in this delicate operation, an aide-de-
camp, unconscious of the severity of the
officers wound, rode up with message
that Col. Blank was wanted Immediate
ly at headquarters. Mechanically, like
the brainless pigeon in the interesting
surgical experiment, the gallant officer
clambered into the saddle and rode
away; and when the surgeon, having
completed the re-arrangement Of the
wounded organ, returned to place it in
position, he was astonished to find the
patient missing. At that moment his
attention was attracted by the sound of
galloping hoofs, and locking round. his
surprise was intensified on beholding
the colonel riding to the front as gayly
rs if nothing had happened.
"Hi, colonell no, colonell' r. shouted tile
surgeon, pursuing him. stop. You're
forgetting about your brainsp e.
Never mind about them," roared the
hero. clapping spurs to his horse. al

A Cure for Smallpox.

A correspondent of the Stockton
(Cal.) Herald speaks as follows con-
cerning the smallpox and its remedy:
1 herewith append recipe which has
been used, to my knowledge, in hun
dreds of cases. 1t will prevent and cure
the smallpox though. the pittings are
filling. When Jenner discovered cow
pox in England, the world of science
hurled an avalanche of fame upon his
head, but when the most scientific school
of medicine in the world-that of Paris
published this recipe as a panacea for
small-p pox, it passed unheeded. 1t is as
unfailing as fate, and conquers in every
instance. 1t is harmless when taken by
a well person. 1t will also cure scarlet
fever. Here is the recipe as [ used it
and cured my children Of scarlet fever,
here it is as used to cure smallpox.
When learned physicians said the pa
tient must die, it cured:
Recipe-"Sulphats of zinc, 1 grain; I;
foxglove (digitalis), grain half tea
spoonful of sugar. Mix with two tea
spoons full of water, when thoroughly
mixed, add four ounces of water. Either
disease will disappear in twelve hours.
For child, small doses, according to
age"
If counties would compel physicians
to use this, there would be no need of
pest houses. If you value advice and
experience use this for that terrible dis
ease.

WE turn back and read with a smile
how Cyrus W. Field was received by the
merchants of Liverpool, when on Nov.
II, 1856 he laid before them plan he
had for constructing an electric tele-
graph line underneath the Atlantic. We
are told that he was listened to with po-
lite courtesy but his scheme quietly
laughed at as the humorous eccentricity
of wealthy but visionary Americana A
few months after this NJ. de Lesseps
was in Enlgand explaining subject for
constructing ship canal across the
Isthmus of Suez. "His proposal was re-
eeived with coldness by engineers, CAPT
talists. and politicians" Engineers
showed that the canal could not be
made, or if made could not possibly be
maintained. Capitalists proved that it
could never pay. And politicians were
ready to make it plain that canal, if
made, would be standing menace to
English interests. So were these two
great enterprises received in their in
ciplency. England and America now
think that they could not get along
at all without the submarine telegraph
and the Suez canal. An idea demonstra-
ted is generally approved, if it be use

THE anecdotes told of Richard Brins-
ley Sheridan, who was such famous
wit in London, years ago, seem to be
almost without number. On one Occa-
sion he had a dispute with the Prince
Regent as TO how much better turkeys
could walk than geese. The Prince said
that turkey could walk twice as far as
a goose in given space of time. Sheri-
dan denied it, and wager was made.
The wit remembered that turkeys go to
roost early, and that geese could be driv-
en- night and day. He found flock of
geese, and the prince brought his flock
of turkeys to the starting point. Sheri-
dan 80 arranged it that the race
did not begin until late in the afternoon.
At first the turkeys outstripped the
geese, and the prince laughed at the wit
But Sheridan only smiled and said moth
ing. When darkness fell the trouble
with the turkeys began. They got into
the hedges and flew into the roadside
trees, and in spite of all their drivers
could do they would 60 no further. But
presently the geese came in sight. They
walked along ahead of their drivers, and
never offered TO stop. The geese passed
the place where the turkeys were roOst-
ing. and kept on all night. When the
time that had been agreed upon for the
race to end had expired, the geese were
far ahead of the turkeys, and Sheridan
won his wager.

WHEN completed, the railroad bridge
at Bismarck, over the Missouri river
will be one of the finest structures in
the United States. A Boston engineer
has charge of the work. The bridge will
be a mile and half long, .and requires
two years more for its completion. We
present an engraving as it will appear
when finished. The stone for the cais-
sons were brought from Sauk Rapids,
more than 800 miles eastward, in Min
nesota These caissonS are sunk 40 or
so feet down in the quicksands of the
river, in order to form firm founda-
tion. 1t is impossible to find terra firna
in the bed of the Missouri, the Platte,
and many other streams. When a Sec
ton OF the suspension bridge over the
river at Omaha was blown into the
river, it quickly disappeared. A few
hours later when workmen with neceS-
sary machinery endeavored to grapple
the section it had entirely disappeared
beneath the quicksands, and they we're
unable to discover it. Some four Years
ago a water-spout carried away, in the
spring, the Kansas Pacific railway
bridge over the Kiowa Creek, some SO
miles east of Denver. A freight train
plunged over into the treacherous flood.
A body of workmen were sent for from
Lawrence, 600 miles away, to fish out
the train. We were there. about five
months afterward. The men had re-
covered the freight cars. They had not
yet, however, discovered the engine, for
which they were still exploring by
means of long poles-[ American Agri-

THE widow of A. O. P. Nicholson, a
Senator from Tennessee at the breaking
out of the rebellion, petitions Congress
for whatever salary may be due him.
Nicholson was expelled from the Senate
on July 18th, 1861. together with Mason,
Hunter and others. His term would
have expired four years later. He had
served two years, and had been paid in
full with the exception of three months
salary. He was granted amnesty in 1865,
and died in 1876. Though he remained
quietly at home during the war and
took no part therein, he never made any
claim for salary, and the Senate Com
mittee on Claims, in its report on the
case, says: I'VE do not deem it proper
after the expiration of twenty years, to
pass a special act of Congress to COM
pensate the Senators and Representa-
tives who seeded in 1851 for their SER
vices in Congress in the early part of
that year."

THE Supreme Court Of Illinois has
just rendered a decision in regard to
the color-line in the public schools,
which is of Importance. The Board of
Education of the city of Quincy divided
the city into eight districts for school
purposes, and adopted rule requiring
all children of African descent to attend
one school especially designated for
colored children, and excluding them
from the schools in other districts. John
Longstress brought suit to test the val
idity of such regulation. The Court
held that the regulations of the School
Board are in violation of the statutes of
the State, which prohibits directors and
school officers from making and enfore-
ing any regulation which shall, directly
or indirectly, exclude any child from
public schools on account of color. The
Court said: "The free schools of the
State are public institutions, and in their
management and control the law con.
templates that they shall be so managed
that all children within the district be-
tween the ages of six and twenty -one
regardless of race or color, shall have
equal and the same rights to be derived
therefrom," and concludes by saying
that the Quincy Board of Education
had no right to make and enforce the
rule complained Of in the information
Judgment is reversed and the case re.
manded." t "a
