1t is au interesting fact that neither Sheridan
nor Schotield will retire during the next ten
years. Sheridan, who will be fully in COM
mand of the army next February, will remain
IN that position more than ten years. aud it is
o field for speculation who, after him, will be
at the head of our military forces. 1t may be
Miles, or it may be Mackenzie, but as the pro-
motions to the grades of brigadier general and
major general are made by selection, it is very
unsafe to make q prediction,

End of the New York Season.

New York Special.
The theatrical season is at an end.
The actors are coming to town. Union
Square will soon be thronged with the
heroes Of the stage. The failures of the
season have been numerous, fully one
half of the PIG combinations that started
out in September having joined the ma
jority. Some of them possessed merit,
some did not. The most successful com
bination this season was that playing
the "Romany Rye" This melodrama
was played to larger business than any
other play ever produced. On May II,
the close OF the season, the "Romany
Rye" will have been presented for
thirty-one weeks % audiences which
paid in the aggregate $201 ,297, fan un-
precedented amount-about $4,000 a
week. Although the salary list and ex-
penses of the "Romany Rye were great
the managers must have realized a large
amount Of money. The Madison Square
theater management have not yet made
up their books for the season, but their
travelling companies, twelve in number,
all did we'll. Miss Mary Anderson met
with great success, and has added over
100000 to her already snug fortune.
She will appear in England in a few
months.

Taken From Life,

About forty years ago a handsome
young Frenchman was at the head of an
a%rlstocratic French school on the Staten
Island Nights, just back of Brighton.
Among his pupils was the daughter OF
the naughty Bigelow family, then prom
inent in New York society. To reduce
a two-volume romance to a paragraph, 1
can only say that the French professor
fell in love with Miss Bigelow, and she
vowed she would rather die and take
her chances in the other world than to
live without him. Her parents opposed
and threatened. and there were terrible
times in the social circles of New York
and Staten Island. Finally the lovers
settled the difficulty by get
disinherited. Two lovely cherubs
brother and sister-were the result of
the marriage, and for once love ran
smoothly after marriage. Nothing, how
ever, is certain in this Elusive life; both
father and mother fell i'll and died very
suddenly. The two little orphans were
taken to Boston and educated by
wealthy relatives of the family.
The girl grew up to independence and
struck out for herself. She became a
teacher, and FOR several years was Pro-
fessor of Eiocution in Vassar College.
Her brother also disliked TO be a burden
to his relatives, and whenthe war broke
out he enlisted in the artiller, service
and went away to fight for glory and $50
a month. Not getting killed he was able
TO return and participate in the ways of
peace. In due time he found himself at
the head of a big manufacturing business
in the enterprising city of Chicago. He
was also engaged to an accomplished
young lady, and cupid sharpened his ar
rows at her door. Prosperity seemed to
have a mortgage on their future, and all
was going well until the great
fire reduced everything to ashes.
The flames were bursting
from the roof when the young man
reached his house. He saved but one
thing; it was a large painting of his
mother, He buried it in the garden
annie showers of cinders. Then extin-
gushing his clothes which were on fire,
he drove to another house a mile away,
reaching it in time to recue his sweet
heart. Their marriage soon followed.
l haye long been interested in the ca
engineer; then a journalist; then a miner
in the lofty mountains in the San Juan
country; then an expert in Mexico for a
wall street syndicate, and at last he
found a responsible position ina wealthy
powder company. He was very success
ful, and he went out to superintend the
blasting of..some iron mines in Pennsyl-
vania. To show the superiority of his
own powder over dynamite he used both
compounds. The dynamite exploded
prematurely, and when we stood by his
coffin Columbus avenue, Boston, it
seemed pitiful that among all the people
full of promise should be snuffed out
like a candle. This death of William A.
LIE Row--so sudden, so Unnecessary
is another proof Of the treacherous, ter
rible power of Observation-Disclosures

Old Denis Pension.

The prudent care of money is not usu.

for the confding veteran, so ignorant of
the periis of travel, he found friends in
stead of enemies.
AS we entered the railroad-car, an old
man took his seat in front of us, dressed
in home-spun, with a miserable hat,
sunburnt face, and two soiled bundles in
his hand.
1 shrank instlnctively from the con
tact, and dreaded two hours proximity

How the Human Organism Protects
Itself.

The organism Of the human body is q
seli-regulatlng apparatus. Even inter-
rupticn of its moral functions excites a
reaction against the disturbing cause. If
a grain of caustic potash irritates the
nerves of the palate, the salivary glands
try to remove it by an increased secre.
ton. The eye would wash it off by an
immediate flow OF Gears. Alarger guam
tity OF the same substance could be swal-
lowed only under the protest of the
fauces, and the digestive organs would
soon find means to eject it. The bron-
chial tubes promptly react against the
obtrusion of the foreign substances. The
sting Of an insect causes an involuntary
twitching of the epidermis. Ifa thorn
or splinter fastens itself under the skin,
suppuration prepares the way for its re-
moval. If the stomach be overloaded
with food, it revolts against further di-
g%estion.
These automatic agencies of the or
ganism generally suffice to counterfeit
the disturbing cause, aud the sensory
symptoms attending the process of re-
constru .tion constitute merely a plea for
non-interference. The suppurating It's
sues push the thorn outward, and resent
only & pressure in the opposite direc-
ton. The eye volunteers to rid itself Of
the sand dust, but demonstrates against
friction. The rum-soaked system Of the
topper undertakes to eliminate the poi
son. and only asks thattbe consequences
Of the outrage be not aggravated by its
repetition. But if that plea remains UNI
needed. it finally takes the form of the
emphatic protest We call disease. For,
even in its urgent manifestations. the re-
action against a violation Of Natures
health is cry for peace, rather than a PEI
tition for active assistance in the form of
medication. "Accrstom yourself in all
your little pains and aches" a Jen-
nings, land also in your grave and more
movementconcerne in them in a friend-
ly aspect-designed for and tending to
the removal of a difficulty of whose
existence you were before unaware, and
which, if suffered to remain and accu-
mulate, might prove the destruction Of
the house you live inland that, instead
of its needing to be cured it is itself a
curative operation; and that what should
be called disease lies back of the symp-
toms which, in fact, are made for the
express purpose of removing the real.
