LONGSTREET AT A FARL.
The Old Soldier Tells in Illinois the
Story OF His Amnesty.


[Chicago Tribune.]
The old white whiskered, white haired
man, dressed in black broadcloth, with
boutonniere in his lapeEthe man of whom
Robert E. Lee always asked when the rebel
lines were wavering- stood up. Turning his
back on the great gathering across the course,
he faced the select and distinguished coterie
in the judges stand, and said in low tone:
"MR. PRESIDENT, LADIES AND GENTLE
MEN: I am indebted to the officers of this
agricultural society for this honor to-day,
and 1 thank you for it." Then, turning to
to reach very far, Gar away from my
southern home I have come to enjoy this
occasion. We are here to prepare q way
whereby we may become a more holnogen-
eous people. The soldiers of the north and
Of the south were the first to bring about
this blessing Of goodwill. After the war
was over 1 went to Washington, where I
visited my old friend and school-mate, Gen.
Grant. He asked meif I was ready to be
amnestied, and when l told him yes he gave
me strong letter to President johnson, and
l called on him the next day. After
long talk he put me off until
the next day. Then there was another long
talk, and finally President johnson said to
me: There are three men in this country who

and faltered. Turning his back ON the

THE NOWNESs OF THE THIS.

She was Boston maiden, and she'd scarcely
passed eighteen,
And as lovely as a houri, but of grave and
sober mien;
A sweet encyclopedia of every kind of lore,
Though love looked coyly from behind the
glasses that she wore.
She sat beside her lover, with her elbow on
his knee
And dreamiiy she gazed upon the slumb'ring
summer sea,
Until he broke the silence, saying: spray,
Minerva, dear,
Inform me of the meaning of the ThingneSs
Of the Here
sT know you're just from Concord, where the
lights of wisdom be:
Your head crammed full to bursting, love-
with their philosophy;
Those hoary- headed sages, and maids of no.
siery blue
Then solve me the conundrum, love, that
have put to you"
She smiled dreamy smile and said, ''The
Thingness of the Here
Is that which is not here, and hasn't yet ar
rived, my dear;
Indeed" the maid continued, with q calm,
unruffied brow,
''The Thingness of the Here is just the This
ness of the Now"
A smile illumed the lovers face, then without
unseemfy haste,
He Sid a manly arm around the maiden's
slender waist,
And on her CHEEKY lips impressed o warm and
loving kiss,
And said, love, this is what call tha.Nou.

Whitcomb Riley in Philadelphia Times.
A poor mani Yes; must confess
No wealth of gold do possess;
No pastures fine, with grazing kline,
Nor fields of waving grain are mine;
No foot of fat or fallOw land
Where rightfully my feet may stand
The while claim it as my own
By deed and title mine alone.
All, poor indeedi perhaps you say
But spare me your compassion, prayl
When I can't ride, with you, walk
In natures company, and talk
With one who will not slight or slur
The child forever dear to her
And one who answers back, be sure,
With smile for smile, though am poor
And while communing thus I count
An inner wealth of large amount
The wealth of honest purpose bent
With Penury's environment
The wealth OF owing naught to-day
But debts that would gladly pay,
And wealth of thanks still unexpresSed
With cumulative interest.
A wealth of patience and content
For all my ways imprOvident;
A faith still fondly exercised
For all my plans unrealized;
A wealth of promises that still,
However fail, hope to fill;
A wealth of charity for those
Who pity me my ragged clothes.
A poor mani Yes, must confess
No wealth of gold do posses;
No pastures fine, with grazing kline,
Nor fields of waving grain are mine.
But ah, my friendi I've wealth, no end,
And millionaires might condescend
To bend the knee and envy me
This opulency of poverty!

A Chorus Girls Nose.
New York letter.

Do you fully appreciate the dominance OF
the nose over the other features of the face?
In the last Lydia Thompson hurlesque COM
pany that came to America was a chorus girl
to whom few lines were given to speak. She
had pleasant voice, fine figure, much apt
ness, and indeed all the requisites for advancing
on the stage, excepta pretty face. And, when
her features came to be scrutini0ed, it could
be seen that her nose was wholly to blame,
for its Roman shape unfeminized counten-
ance that would otherwise have been delicate
and regular. Well, Billy Messenger, the
''Tourists" man, is said to have engaged her,
but she has a new name and new nose She
was broken in various places by railroad
accident in England a year ago, and hen
nasal things worst of all. ''The surgeon told
her," says the jocose Mestayer, that her bones
could all be set in good shape, but that Che
cartilage of the nose was likely to resist his
efforts to fix it as it was before. Never you
mind that she exclaimed; ANY change is
bound to be an improvement. Go right
ahead on it. He put her nose in splints as
well as he could, and let it take its chances.
Well, sir, the breakage Strengthened it OUT
that is, it took the big angle out, though
some new and smaller variations from perfect
symmetry were introduced. On the whole,
however, there was vast change for the
better Most important of all, the heavy,
masculine expression, that had been the chief
fault of her face, was gone-compfetely
knocked out-and in its place was adecidedly
pleasing, piquant cast Of countenanca The
new nose is trifie irregular-not the sort-of
a nose to be easily classified but itis In
clined to be prettily quizzical. Anyhow, that
smash-up was stroke of good fortune for
her, because it removed the one thing that
prevented her from becoming successful
actress" As Messenger won'tgive the name
of the girl, you can do as you please'about
believing that she exists.

I wonder what Aimee has done with her
two little daughters. She had them here
with her on her last visit They were re-

them at school, and afterward in private
French family on Staten Island. They were
only at the school about ten days, but she
came to see them several times, and seemed
to be very fond Of them. A teacher in whose
class they were tells me that they were pretty
little things. and bright without being pre-

she. ''She was always plainly, though hand

slightest sign of paint about her cheeks or

any other mother interested in her children.

Farewell to the Bacteria Scare.
New York Times.1

1t is all very well for scientific persons to
make discoveries; but when a series of dis
coVeries have established pleasing and sat
isfactory theory, what are we to think of the
man who makes a new and final discovery
wholly overthrowing and demolishing that
theory? Such has been the conduct of Dr.
Gregg, of Buffalo, and the general opinion of
medical theorists is, that he ought to be
ashamed of himself
The theory that certain diseases are caused
by the presence of bacteria in the human sys-
tenn was, until Dr. Gregg made his expert
ments, accepted by a great many learned
men. The bacteria in question were alleged
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1883-10-21

to be microscopic animals of various species,
some of which produced consumption when
admitted to the human body, while others
gave their attention to the production OF
malarial fevers and hydrophobia. They were
found in the blood, the saliva, and even the
tissues of victims of these diseases and it was
therefore evident that they were the cause OF
disease-just as it is evident that bullet
found in the brain of murdered man was
the cause of his death.
But now comes DIR. Gregg with the painful
assertion that bacteria are always present in
the blood Of everybody. No matter whether
the individual is healthy OF diseased, or
whether the blood taken from him IS exam
ined while it is fresh or after it has become
decomposed, the microscope will always show
that the blood contains bacteria. This, OF
course, utterly upsets the theory that BAG
terra produce disease, and destroys the value
of an enormous quantity Of medical itera-
ture written in defense Of that theory.
This, however, is not all that Dr. Gregg
has done. He has shown that the so-called
bacteria are not animals, but simply PARTICLES
of fibrine After the laborious and appar-
entity successful experiments which PSteur
and others have made in breeding and culti-
waiting bacteria, it is indeed unkind to dem
onsrate that bacteria are not alive and are
simply inert particles Of matter. Thead-
mirefs Of bacteria now find that thay have
been as grossly deceived as are the Long Isl
and hounds who pursue an alleged fox, only
to find that itisa harmless anise-seed bag.
We shall now have to throw away all
theories founded on the idea that bacteria
are alive, and to frame new theories Of the
origin OF disease This win shake our faith
in medical men, and to- @ certain EXTEND in
all theories. DR.. Gregg may think he tsas
acted Ikea wise and good man, ta1tat Slut
possibleto regard him as other than med
dleSuteaand unnecessary icpnociast.

Fading Away.

Any one who would try to make the
task of getting out of a parlor more diff
cult than it is, must expect to be criticised.
In Lothian" Disraeli has one of his char
acters say that no one should say good
bye" but in departing should fade away
like summer cloud. That is sweet, isn't
it? and practical, too. Imagine a man
who weighs two hundred and thirty pounds
when he is right thin,' trying to fade out
of 4 morning call like summer cloud.
He would fade, wouldn't he? Especially
if he happened to collide with a rocking
chair as he was fading.
Or, think of a man trying to "fade'' out
of parlOr like summer cloud, with his
hostess meanest poodle swapping at his
legs. Just think how he would "fade."

HON. Blk. BRUCE FOR VICE.
PRESIDENT.

Since the recent election have heard prom
inent and influential Republicans declare the
spirit of caste. race prejudice, and senseless
hatred toward the negro, should be rebuked
by the nomination of representative colored
man for Vice-President. Ex-senator Bruce
now Register of the Treasury, is the only man
thought of in this connection. He was III the
Senate six years, where he was respected by
both parties, and made most honorable
record. His knowledge of the rules and bus
iness of the Senate. his fine personal appear
ance, and his urbane manners, would make
him an admirable presiding officer. His nom-
ination, made as a matter of justice to his
race, and as an assurance that the Republl-
can party stands for the rights of manhood
and the political equality OF all races, would
arouse an enthusiasm throughout the North
such as has been not known since the war The
old anti-slavery element would come TO the
front and peaceful blow would be struck for
civil rights that would be worth more than q
thousand "amendments'' and ''civfl rights
bills" There would be glorious courage III
such nomination that would electrify the
nation and command the admiration OF the
civilized world. So think and say many Re
publicans: but some politicians can't Soc the
advantages that would be gained by moral
heroism and devotion to principle VS.. I.
The above extract is from the
Warren Tribune, a republican pa
per publ shed in Warren, Ohio,
1t is evident that the Northern
and Western people are friendly
to the negro. The Republican
party couldn't do a better thing
than to nominate Hon. Bl.nch *.
Bruce for Vice-President. 1t is
true, rs the article states, that he
commands the respect and conf
dence Of the American people and
this nomination as Vice-President
will mold the republican party. 1t
is an evident fact that the republic

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The teachers of the public

supervising principals, Henry and
Scott Montgomery. One of the
reporters of the BEE called to see
several teachers this week, and in
conversation with a few of them,
the following was elicted:
Teacher, "for some time | have
endeavored to confine myself to
the laws governing the schools, but,
1t seems as if we poor teachers are
compelled TO take the insults and
impudence of two men who have
been made supervising princi-
pals. They enter the school
room in an uncouth manner and
order us around as if we were
brutes." Another teacher states
that she will send a communica-
ton to the commissioners, as they
can get no protection from the
school board. A teacher in one
OF the West end schools, states
that Mr.. John Brooks has been
informed about the uncouth man.
ner of these supervising prlnci-
pals, but, he said, the people who
would dare to oppose these men
would get the worse of it. So we
get no relief from Brooks.
The bee., 1883-11-24

ERRORS OF PRINT-The most common
kind of absurdity in print-or used to be
comes in the eompositor's work; the
mechanical process of type-setting. As
for instance: A compositor on the Bing-
hamton Republican, who was recently
handed paragraph which read: THE
iumbermen in this vicinity are busy skid
ding their logs, preparatory to hauling to
the mil" set it up to read, ''The humble
men In this vicinity are busy skinnir.
their dogs, preparatory to hauling to their
meals"
Sometimes, however, we have to credit
the writer with the whimsicality-as in
cases of Irish-English, or maize superfuity,
like the following:
A Chicago morning daily found little
boy few days ago, who, according to its
veraelous chronicler, was very dead, in
deed. The reporter wrote: 'The boy was
quite dead. No efforts could resuscitate
him in the least"
This is quite as good as the amusing
bull culled from a recent feuilleton in
the Paris Figaro, which runs: "Not a cry
oid she utter, nor give any sign of life
not even when her brother-in-law put his
hand to her heart and said to VAGUE, She
Is dead"
