bronchials, and especially sad and sor-
rowful has it been with those afflicted n
that way who have bean without whis-
KEY and rock candy. If there had been
just little sunshine it would have been
inspiriting but without it one felt as if
he would as soon live as die. It would
be a very inconvenient time for me to
die for many reasons which would be un-
interesting reading if l were to give
them.

INGERsoLL VS.. BLISS.
Much as I regret trouble in our ordin-
arily peaceful country, cannot refrain
from remarking. with as much delicacy
as may seem requisite in the premises,
that l do not see how a hostile meeting
between Mr.. IngeTsoll and Mr.. Bliss
can be avoided. I do not suppose that
either of those eminent and brave men
wishes to die so early; but if the melan-
chOlv affair cannot be adjusted by any
possible method of compromise, and
death be inevitable. I feel it nv duty to
advance the opinion that the the most
emineutly proper way in which to die
would be under the Galway code. have
a neighbOr friend who has a certified
copy of the Galway code. which he will
be pleased to place at the disposal of the
aggrieved party. and if he should hap
pen to desire professional information as
to the exact technical nature of his pre-
else scientific methods of redress to be
adopted, my friend will enlighten him
on both. Ny friend has also a magnifi-
cent pair of hair triggers, which have
been known to bring down single birds
on the wing. IF these brave men must
die. let them die under the Galway code.
and at the muzZles of my friends hand
some shoOting-irous. l do hope. how
ever, that a hostile meeting between
these two brave gentlemen will be avoid

my own.
SOLDIER vs.. SOLDIER.
All the Republican Gubernatorial
bOOms, even the Farmer Butler boom,
seem to have fZzled out, and the friends
of General Beaver see the way clear for
his nomination for Governor by the Re
publican State Convention. AS the Re-
publicans of Pennsylvania have settled
upon soldier as their candidate for
Governor. and as the Democrats have
seemingly settled upon a civilian as
their candidate for Governor, would it
not be polite for the Democrats toplace
a soldier candidate on their ticket for
onesof the other State offices The
Democrats have as glorious list of sol
diers to choose leaders from as have the
Republicans. In Major Moses Veale
the Democrats have as great war vet
eran, as have the Republicans in General
James Beaver. Major Veale has more
glorious war record than Gen. Beaver.
Veale has a war record before which
Beavers record. even with his BOG brass
medal added. would grow dim. Major
VeaIe participated in the following de-
scribed battles and engagements in the
late war, viz: Boliver Heights, Cedar
Mountain. Gettysburg, Charlottesville
Wantratchia. Brandy Station, Mission
arv Ridge, Rocky Face Ridge, Nicka
jack Trace, Riggold, Dalton, Snake
Creek Gap. Ressacca, Dallas, Cassville
Kennesaw Mountain, seige and capture
of Atlanta, seige and capture of Savan
nah, and the seiges and captures Of
Bentonville and AverysborO. He wa:
wounded six times. One Oall passed
through his right shoulder and one
through his body and right lung, anC
narrowly escaped death on many occa
sions. But not only is his military re
cord good and brilliant, but as civil
liam he has an unblemished reputation
He is a cultivated gentleman, an abl'
and eloquent speaker. man who will
elevate the standard of any party, and
reflect character npon the ticket. If the
Democrats of Pennsylvania are wis'
