the troughs in the crowded cattle cars

the cars unfit for any ether purpose

"SfoneNnLr, Jnckaon

The story Of the killing of General
jackson has been told over and over
again, but never seems 10 be wanting
in dramatic interest, and is as often
read by those whom the history of the
struggle for freedom never fails to at
tract. Il was at Charlottesville, in
May, 1868, when he turned Hooker
right, upon which he turned by sur
prise. The ill-fated jackson rode out
with his staff aud escort. That was
. or lOSclock of the night of May,
2. He was riding ON his welI-known
"Old Sorrell" toward his own men.
The little body of horsemen we're mis-.
taken for Federal cavalry charging,
and the Rebel regiments on the right
and left Of the road fired a sudden
volley into them. General Jackson
received one ball in bis left arm, two
inches below the shoulder joint, shat.
tering the bone and severing the chief
artery; a second passed through the
same arm, between the elbow and
wrist, coming out through the palm Of
the hand; a third entered the palm
Of the right hand. about the middle,
and passed through, breaking two of
the bones. He fell from his horse,
and was caught by an officer at hand.
Later he was found, placed upon a
litter, and conveyed to the rear. On
his way to place of safety, one of
the litter. bearers was shot and Jack
son fell from the shoulders Of the
men, receiving severe confusion, ad-
ding to the injury of the arm, and in
juring the side considerably. He died
eight days afterward at Guinea's Sta
ton, some FIVE miles from the place
where he fell.

Climate and ARitose.

The Virginia City Enierprise (Ne-
vada, } furnishes the following: The
relations Of climate to altitude are
very intimate, but in most regions are
not apparent--that is, not visible
to the eye. Here, however, il is
different. For instance, Yesterday
while all the hills and mountains
round about we're arrayei in robes Of
dazzling white, there was in the center
Of the Eastern landscape one big spot
Of brown. This was ON the Carson
River, down toward Fort Churchill.
There not only the valley land, but
also all the low bordering hills re
manned deep and desolate brown. II
was like dirty spot left in the mid
die Of newly whitewashed wall. AL.
though this spot Is at nogreat distance
from this city, the people there walk
about on bare groIn1, while here we
wade in foot Of snow. With them
It is only late autumn; with US
il is genuine winter. However, they
have not far to 60 TO get a taste Of
winter. Half mile from their
homes would take most of them up
into the snow belt. Persons who have
lived all their lives in prairie aud 9th
er level regions have but an indistinct
notion OF the great influence altitude
has upon climate. When their plains
are bare, they do not know that win
ter is often but one hundred feet above
their heads.
In this mountainous region we have
an excellent opportunity of studying
the effects of altitude. II is some
times quite wonderful to observe the
evenness Of the snow line II is
drawn midway up the face of the
whole line Of hills as neatly as though
marked with a chalk line. Sometimes
it is higher, sometimes il is lower, ow
ing to the temperature. The even
ness depends a great deal upon the
air. When there is much wind the
snow line is not well defined, but
when it is calm the strata of the at
mosphere are perfectly regular. The
snow line is then as level as though
il we're the water line OF a lake.
Frequently, when no snow lies on
our streets, we can see on the slope Of
Mt. Davidson, only 200 or 300 feet
above us. the line separating US from
the region Of winter.

A CLOCK MADE OF BREAD.--Milan
has a curiosity in a clock which is
made entirely of bread. The maker
is Peruvian, a native of India, and
he has devoted three years of his time
to the construction of this curiosity,
He was very poor and, being without
means to purchase the necessary met
al, deprived himself regularly of his
daily bread, which he devoted to the
construction of his curiosity, eating
the crust and saving the soft part for
doing his work. He made use OF a
certain salt to solidify his material,
and when the various pieces were
dry, they we're perfectly hard and in
soluble to water. The clock is of re
spectacle size, and goes well. Tn,
case, which is also hardened bread,
displays great talent in design and
execution.

clan; "Seventy-fve per cent. Of the
revaccinations we're successful, and
nearly 80 per cent. took, with all the
constitutional disturbances, some even
greater than a primary vaccination,
thereby indicating that the primary
vaccination had not been sufficient to
thoroughly infect them and protect
them from smallpox had they been ex.
posed to il. My observations as a
practitioner of medicine for full %
years confirms the truth Of the above
record, and forces me to the conclusion
that our American physicians, as a
rule, do not introduce sufficient vac.
cine virus into the arms Of their pa.
tients. They make but one insertion
usually, and while il is possible to
make one insertion large enough to
give complete infection, nevertheless
full 90 per cent. of their vaccinations
are so insufficient as to give but little
protection. This is an astounding
statement, and, if true, should arouse
the profession and lead them to revac-
cinate their patients at once.
The rule has been that after vacci-
nation has been performed in infancy.
it should be repeated after the estab-
lishment of puberty-say from twelve
to sixteen years of age, and again
about middle life. A good rule will
be for every person to be revaccinated
soon after they have grown into man
hood or womanhood, and then at least
once during the p revalence Of every
epidemic to which they may be ex.
posed"
