Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-Signor La Wanda,
the iron jawed man exhibiting at Kohl &
Middleton's dime museum, met with a
painful accident at his opening perform
ance at their west side house this afternoon.
His great act is in lifting with his teeth a
large barrel filed with water, weighing
600 pounds. After this marvellous display
of dental strength he invites two heavy
men TO get on the barrel and then
lifts them. To-day the men selected to
mount the barrel while he held it with his
teeth in the air were clumsey. One acted
as he was instructed to do; the other, how
ever, appeared scared, he kept one foot on
the platform and with the other leg strad-
died the barrel. When the
modern Sampson exerted his strength
there was misbaia auce and the barrel was
jerked from his teeth. In falling it struck
him on the knee causing rupture of the
ligaments. A physician was called in and
the injured member bound up. LaWanda
lives in Detroit where his wife and twin
children are at present. The museum
management did ell that was possible to
relieve his suffering. He won't lift for
some time

referred tho reporter TO the records of the war
department for his letter of resignation. The
letter is Gated Lavergne, Tenn, March 2, 1868,
and Is addressed to Gen. Garfield, chief of staff.
1t says, in part: SIT is due to my superior
officers, to those with whom l originally entered
the service, and to the cause In
which we have alike Iabored for
nearly sixteen months that l should state ex-
plicitly the reasons which induced me to take
this step. The recent sudden death of my father
devolved upon me duties of a private nature
which cannot, swith propriety, neglect, and
which the public service do not require, shall
neglect. Those duties relate to his unsettled
business, which demands immediate personal
attention. If l am permitted to retire from the
army, beg the commanding general TO feel
assured it is from want of conf lence either in
the justice or ultimate triumph of
the Union cause. That cause will
always have the warmest sympathies
of my heart, for there are no conditions upon
which l will consent to a dissolution of the
Union, nor are there any conditions consistent
with the republican form of government whiSh
l am not prepared to make in order to maintain
and perpetuate that Union.'

A railroad scheme which fairly goes
ahead of our early Pacific enterprises,
visionary as they seemed when I'M
dertaken, has been proposed in India,
and will receive the Endorsement of
the Imperial Government. It has
long been understood that the surest
preventative of suffering from the
famines which periodically afflict
some parts of India would be the
cheapening of transportation from
the well-watered and fertile provinces,
where food is always abundant. To
this end about 1000 miles of road,
which Parliamentary committee re-
CARDS indispensable "to connect the
centers of food production with the
population centers and the famine
tract, are to be constructed, the
home government guaranteeing the
interest on the $3.50, 100000 which
must be raised. A considerable part
of the proposed railway system will
earn dividends, but the rest is to be
built as work of humanity.

We can all look back to past life

We can all look back to past life
and see mistakes that have been
made,-to certain extent, perhaps,
irreparable ones. We can see where
our education was fatally misdirected.
The profession chosen for you per-
haps was not the fttest, or you are
out of place, and many things might
have been better ordered Now on
this apostolic principle it is wise to
forget all that. It is not by regret
ting what is irreparable that true
work is to be done, but by making
the best of what we are It is not by
complaining that we have not the
right tools, but by using well the
tools we have. What we are, and
where we are, is Gods providential
arrangement-God's doing, though
it may be mans misdoing; and the
manly and wise way is to look your
disadvantages in the face, and see
what can be made out Of them. Life,
like war, is series of mistakes, and
he is not the best Christian nor the
best general who makes the fewest
false steps Poor mediocrity may
secure that; but he is the best who
wins the most splendid victories by
the retrieval of mistakes. Forget
mistakeis; organize victory out of
mistakes.-Reo. r. w. Robertson.

A Perverted Pablo Life.

In the history of public men there
are few cases parallel to That of James
G. Blaine In a quarter of century
of public life he has always been
conspicuous without accomplishing
anything. A leader of men he has
never originated measure. A leg
islator of brilliant parts no law on the
statute books bears the impress of his
mind. When trifing subjects were
under consideration or political
schemes absorbing attention, Blaine
was eloquent and dramatic, but when
questions Of grave Importance chal-
lenged the attention of the country
he had neither voice nor mind to dis
cuss them.
During the twenty years of Mr..
Blaine's service in Congress there
have been grave subjects considered,
and he had no part in them. When
Legislation on the tariff was pending
he was silent. When financial ques-
tons were under discussion he had
no tongue. But when there was a
job pending; when some corporation
asked immunity for forfeited obliga-
tions or bounty for imaginary future
developments, or when the bloody
shirt was to be waved and sectional
ism paraded in dramatic periods, Mr..
Blaine pranced into the arena and
made the country ring with his elo-
quence and his energy.
In these things he has had expert
ence. But it was the experience that
withers where it touches. His SER
vices have been of the kind that
makes sore hearts rather than that
which relieves distress. He has been
alobyist, a jobber and a corruptionist,
but in no instance has he alleviated
suffering or relieved distress. Blaine's
public record has made Blaine rich
but it has done good to no one else.

educational interests is better than

age is realized as it is expected to be.
While we regret the loss of the SER
vices of some who have been cou-
nected with the Female College, we
have occasion to be glad that their
places have been supplied with per-
sons of unquestioned competency
and experience.
Of the new teachers at the Fee
male College, Miss Slaton, Professor
Of Music; and Miss Calhoun, Vice.
Principal of the Literary Depart
ment, the Caligraph of Ruston has
the following complimentary notice:
"Col. Geo. ID. Alexander, of the
Minden Female College, has secured
the services of Misses Eva Slaton
and Anna Calhoun, of this parish,
to assist him in the college during
the next scholastic year. Miss Eva
will have charge of the music de-
partment and Miss Anna will be
vice principal of the literary depart
ment of the school. In selecting
these young ladies Col. Alexander
has eyinced wisdom and discretion
and i'll securing their services he has
been extremely fortunate. Miss Eva
is one of the finest pianists in North
Louisiana, combining natural talent
and thorough training, being a
graduate Of one of the finest music
schools in the South, aud she also
has no little experience as a teacher,
having been engaged in teaching
music most Of the time during the
past four or i've years. Hence, she
will assume the arduous duties now
about to devolve upon her with con
dence in her ability to give entire
satisfaction and determination to
do so. Miss Anna is young lady
of extraordinary literary qualitica-
tions. We doubt if she has a supe-
rior, intellectually, among her sex in
North Louisiana. She has had con-
siderable experience as a teacher,
aud has always given satisfaction
AS to her competency to discharge
the important duties of vice priuci-
pal, there is no doubt. Being a
young lady Of culture aud refine
ment, the influence of her constant
association upon the young ladies
under her charge can but be fruitful
OF the best results.
"The numerous friends of these
young ladies will be glad to know
that they will soon enter upon a
broader field of usefulness in the
good work for which they have pre-
pared themselves. We congratulate
Col. Alexander upon bis success in
securing their serviccs.p
This is certainly high compli-
ment, coming as it does from friend
Pearce who is well acquainted with
the gifts of both these ladies.
There is no place in the Northern
or Western part of our State, where
the buildings are so commodious
and we'll adapted to the necessities
of a great school, nor any place in
the State more easily reached. The
water, health, intelligence and NOR
atty of our community cannot be
excelled.
