1t becomes the painful duty of the

nuunce 10 the officers aud men of the
4th infantry, the death Of Captain and
Brevet Major Samuel p. Ferris, which
occurred alter II brier illness at Fort D.

4, 1882.
Ills hsld service in this regiment has
been: Big Horn expedition uuder Gen.
Crook, March, 1876; commanded bat.
TALON 9th cavalry against the Cheyenne
Indians from January 18th, 1870, to
February 20, 1879; commanded bat
TALON 4th infantry under G-n. Merritt
in the Ute expedition. October, 1879.
One by one Those brave men who
fought for the life of the nation are
passing away, aud daily tue roll of
honor is gro wing shorter. Through a
long career Captain aud Brevet Major
Ferris was trus to his duty; in the
fields of the south aud upon the plains
uf the west. Whenever he was called
upon to meet the enemy he displayed
some OF the best characteristics of the
American soldier. His kindly, genial
nature won for him a host of friends
whn will cherish his memory long after
his body has gone tn dust.
As a token Of respect to the deceased,
the officers of the regiment will wear
the usual badge of mourning for the
period Of thirty days.

Frightened to Death.

OF the thousand and one causes that
are continually making homes desolate
by the loss of little children, perhaps thu
most singular happened to the child of a
Hartford family some time ago. The
family had been on q visit in Massachu-
sets, and were on their return to Hart
ford. While waiting in the depot in Bos-
ton. the father holding baby Of four
months, the train entered, and as it
passed where they stood the engine blew
one of those shrill, screeching whistles
which are 30 familiar to every one. The
baby was greatly frightened and screamed
and refused to be comforted. For hours
the best efforts Of the mother and father
were iunavailing in quieting the child.
On arriving home and soothing the little
one to sleep an examination was made,
when it was found that the child was
partially paralyzed. Everything was
done that was possible to relieve the lit
tie one and bring it back to its former
self, but all efforts failed. After linger.
ing along for few months. and cop-
tinually falling, it died. :

A Sleepless Philosopher.

Herbert Spencer is another instance
of great philosopher whog in certain
important matters, lacks common sense.
He is bachelor. for early in life he de.
termined 10 devote himself to scientific
pursuits without the incumbrance of a
family. He did some maryelously good
work. in the line of original research
and thought; but as he denied himself
any recreation, Is well as the solace
which wife and family would have given
him, he became nervous and irritable.
and finally could not rest at night. In
stead of taking proper hygienic meas
ures to indree sleep, he resorted to
drugs, and finally sought relief in doses
of choral. This was twenty years ago,
and he made his life miserable there 5y.
He ought to be in the ripest manhood,
instead of which he is physical wreck,
who has no peace by day, and no rest
by night. He came to this country,
vaguely hoping it might do him some
good: but he returned home still further
debilitated by his journey. Tens
thousands of the best people In this
country would like to have paid their
respects to the great erolutionist; bat
the poor, haggard, nervous philosopher
had to deny himself this pleasure. If
Mr.: Spencer had abstained from opiates
and chloral, and rested awhile from his
iabors, there might have been many
years of usefulness befpre him But It
is a painful fact that the best thing that
could happen to hing would be q
swift and painless dean. -<Dsfpor<scs

Mary had q Little Goat.

That history repeats itself is frequent.
ly remarked, and the incidents which
confirm this statement are always full Of
interest to the inquiring mind. 1t is,
therefore, pleasant to record the fact
that the instructive narrative of Mary's
little lamb, the truth of which certain
iconoclasts have affected to discredit,
has recently gained support from an oc.
currence which happened in this. city.
The other morning, on one of the princi.
pal Streets of the Back Bay, a young ano
attractive woman was observed tripping
along. attended by a goat, from whose
neck dangled an end of rope, which he
had probably broken in order to follow
her, When she attempted to get away
from her humble admirer by running,
the goat ran too, and when She walked
slowly, in the hope thathe would pass on :,
he also put on The brakes and ambled
along quietly by her side. Then she ran
up the steps of a house, but the sure
footed descendant of crag-scaling ances-
tors was at the door as quickly as she,
wagging his tail spasmodically and evil
IDENTITY enjoying the exercise. Finally
the young woman made feint of rum
ming down the steps again, at which the
goat descended with such speed that
his momentum carried him half across
the roadway, whereupon the subject of
his attentions nimbly slipped inside the
door and shut it again just in time to
prevent him from charging joyously into
the front hall. At this the goat pranced
around for awhile, as if meditating an
assault upon the. panels, but he soon
thought better of it, and retired to the
back lots in search of an old circus pos
ter and an empty tomatoe-can for his
luncheon. Boston Journal,

An Ingenious Design for a Bridge.

Writingof the need of providing means
of communication between the northern
and southern banks of the Thames. below
London bridge, correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Telegraph says:
''London is not only the biggest city
but the.largest port in the world, and a
bridge has to be designed which shall
interfere as little as possible with the
shipping. The question has been re-
ferred by the metropolitan Board of
Works to their engineer, Sir Joseph
Bazalgette, who now recommends a
high-level bridge and two subways. A
high-level bridge has the objection that
it is enormously costly, as so much prop
erty has to be acquired to obtain proper
approaches. A low-level bridge inter.
feres with traffic; but genius has arisen
who has designed low-level bridge to
suit the exigencies of Thames River traf.
fic.s Whether his scheme is feasible On
not may be questionable, but the idea is
certainly ingenious. In the center of the
river three piers of stone are built, about
two hundred yards long; a bridge is built
ont from each bank of the river to Che
nearest pier, but, before reaching it,
forks out Y-fashion to the extremities of
the pier. We thus have two horizontal
Y-shaped structures, each terminating in
a pier, with wide space between them,
in the middle of which is third pier.
At each end of the third or middle piel
is swing bridge to be worked by'hy.
