A Romance of the War.

Among the clerks in the treasury de-
partment at Washington is a man who
was found buried among the dead
on the field of the second Bull Run.
When the burial squad pulled him out
from among the dead he was found to
have terrible wound in The side, and
his left hand hanging by few tendons,
These he bit off and threw the hand
away, gave his canteen to dying Con
federate, and crawled off toward the
hospital, preferring to help himself sc
the squad could search for others who
might be in the same fix. The next day
he received his commission as lieuten-
ant. He married the sister of the
Confederate to whom he gave the
last drop OF water he had, and lives hap

THE Medico Legal Journal has an in
t-resting paper by DR.. G. johnson on
concussion of the spine in railway in
juries. Fhe purpose of the article is to
show that of late years there has heen a
great deal of fraud in the claims against
railway companies for damages because
of injury to the spine through accident.
DR.. johnson asserts that an English
surgeon named Erichsen gave stimulus
to this kind of impostare by publishing
a very sensational book on the subject
in 1866, and that ever since that time
railway companies have been victimiZed
more or less by complaints of spinal in
jury having no foundation in fact So
common, he says, has the thing become,
that physicians now term certain symp-
toms obligation symptoms" because
their assumption indicates an intention
to sue the company. DR.. johnson points
out that though passengers are so apt
to suffer concussion of the spine in rail-
road accidents, railroad employees some
how manage almost always to escape
these injuries. He cites a number of
cases in which the alleged victim sub
sequentiy recovered, as he could not have
done bad the injury to the spine been
real, and he expresses the opinion that
the expert testimony in such cases is
frequently of character to mislead
juries or to confuse them; and when
they are confused he thinks they gener-
ally find for the plaintiff. The remedy
suggested is Legislation providing for a
wiser and more discriminating use of
expert testimony than now prevails

Which is Worse?

A little girl came in her night clothes
very early one morning to her mother
saying:
(Which is worse, mamma, to tell a lie

The mother, taken by surprise. replied
that both were so had that she couldn {
tell which was the worse"
"Well," said the little one, "I've been
thinking good deal about it, and think
it is worse To lie than to steal. If You
steal a thing you can take it back, unless
you have eaten it; and if you have eaten
it you can pay for it. But"-and there
was a look of awe in the little face-"a

A Little More Advice to Young Mem

Young man, if you are not rich, and
can get only lazy aud extravagant
wife, better remain single. The woman
who goes into malt imony for an easy
life of it; who labors only IN studying
places for squandering your money; who
spends her time in wearing fine clothes
and giving and receiving visits; who
must have one or more servants; who
will not look out for economy in the
kitchen and other departments in the
household-if you marry such woman
before you have secured very large in
come. your nose will be kept to the
grindstone of poverty and toll always.
Few men can stand up well and long
under slavery of this kind. Their
ambition collapSes and they settle down
to abject, hopeless peDury; or they COM
NIT suicide or run away as defaulters.
Let as again enjoin you, if you can get
none but a lazy, extravagant wife, and
are fully persuaded that you can no lon
ger exist in single blessedness," get
unto you big loaded gun, and go into
the woods and shoot yourself. Better
do this right BOW than endure the tor
ment that is surely laid up for you and
others for whose welfare you would
make yourself responsible.-Cin.C Com.

ant from an administration or Mr. Blaine.
The circumstances of the Presidents ae-
cession have undoubtedly alisnated very
many Republicans who regard a vote for
Mr.. Blaine as a vote to honor Garfield
This is a very powerful consideration
in the preliminary canvass for the nom
inatien, and it is one of the practical
reasons that the nomination of the Pres
ideut would be exceedingly unwise, be
cause many Republicans devoted to the
memory of Garfield, and who do not
forget the bitter circumstances of his
assassination. could not bring themselves
to vote for Mr.. Arthur.
But there are equally practical consid-
erations, of a wholly different kind, that
would reduce the Republican vote for
Mr.. Blaine. And it is precisely such
considerations as these, pointing to a
division and an alienation of the Repub-
lican vote, which make the nomination
of either gentleman very iDjudicious for
the party. 1t the purpose of the Con-
yention was to test the comparative
strength of the two wings of the party.
nothing could be wiser than to select
from among the proposed candidates
the two who especially represent the
contention which has long divided Re
publicans 1t might indeed defeat the
party at the polls, but it would proxi-
mately show which wing was the stron-
ger. and that might perhaps afford some
satisfaction to somebody. But this is
idle. There are but two cardinal Ques-
tions to be considered by those who wish
70 maintain Republican control Of the
government. The first is, who, upon
the whole, most satisfactorily stands for
the character and principles and meth
ods that the Republican party ought to
represent in an appeal to the people 7
and the second is, who, among possible
OF probable candidates, would command
the most votes? The question whether
a majority ought to yield its preference
To minority is not to be considered.
There is no doubt of the convenience of
the majority principle wherever it ap-
plies. Bat IL is evident that it would be
very possible for a majority in Con-
vention to nominate a candidate who
could not possibly he elected, and 1t is
that very obvious fact which every DEL
eeate who sincerely desires the success
of the party will bear in mind.--Har-

The Preliminary Canvass.

The assertion that Mr.. Edmunds has
sspooled his issues" with the President,
and that tho Edmunds movement is sub
ordinate to that for the nomination of
the President, is exceedingly amusing.
If Mr.. Edmunds has ever pooled issues
or taken any part in the kind of political
performance which that phrase express
es. it is something which has been care
fully concealed. 1t is because he is
especially the representative of simple
and upright methods in politics that he
is the candidate whom the foes of the
old machine methods prefer. As to the
subordination of the Edmunds move
ment to that for the nomination of Mr..
Arthur, it is enough to look at the Re-
publican papers and voters Who most
warmly press it. That many Repnbll-
cans who greatly desire the nomination
of Mr.. Edmunds would prefer Mr.. Ar
thur to Mr.. Blaine rs a candid IL is ii
fact to which it is unnecessary to be
oll1u Uut tnc lcdopu 10 hob Shot 1u'
Edmunds and Mr.. Arthur represent the
same school of politics. The reasons,
indeed, are of a very different but con-
elusive kind. There is no greater mis-
apprehension than the suppostion that
the real contest for the nomination lies
between Mr.. Arthur and Mr. Blaine, and
that those who do not desire the fermer
ought to support the latter. This, how
ever, is the view of some honorable and
intelligent Republicans who do not favor
the selection of either. but who think it
necessary to support Mr.. Blaine in order
to oppose the old system, of which they
hold the President to be the representa-
tive.
Bnt see what this assertion implies.
II the alternative be Arthur or Blaine.
then the result of the Convention must
be purely factional victory, and a con.
sequent indifference and alienation OF
feeling which of themselves would make
it impossible to carry New York. II
the situation has indeed reached such
an slterative, Republican success would
be alarmingly Threatened, unless the
alternative be avoided by the selection
of another candidate. But in any case
the friends of Mr.. Blaine must not hug
the delusion that in that alternative the
friends of Mr.. Edmunds would make
common cause with them. These Re
publicans who have most severely cen
snred Mr.. Arthur's course in the past
see that the chief representatives of his
old course have broken with him, and
that his administration has upon the
whole been acceptable. They do not see
that Mr.. .Blaine's political methods have
been essential. different from those OF
MIR. Arthur, and they observe that il
there are unpleassntly familiar and moi
politically reputable followers and sup
porters in Mr.. Arthnr's train, they are
not wanting in that of Mr. Blaine. They
see, moreover, that the President has
honestly enforced the reform bill, al,
though, indeed. without showing him
self to be, In the strict sense, a reformer
but they have not seen that Mr.. Blaine
has shown any sympathy whatever with
the reform movement. They have seen
prudence and moderation in the foreign
policy of the administration: but they
would anticipate something very differ

Vanished Hours.

Where are they gone, those dear dead
days,
Those sweet past days of long ago.
Whose ghosts go floating to and fro
When evening leads US through her
Where are they gomez Ah. who can
Who weave once more that long passed
spell?
They did exist when we were young;
We met our life with strength and
tiust,
We deemed all things were pure and
Nor knew life had a double tongue;
We lightly sang happy song,
Nor dreamed our way could e'er be
wrong.
And then all changed. As life went by,
The friend deceived, or bitter death
Smiled as he drank our dear ones
breath,
And would not let US also die.
Day followed day; as on they went
Each took some gift that life had sent
Yet il was ours, that perfect pastl
We did have days that knew no pain
We once had friends death had. not
taken;
And flowers and songs that could moi
last
Were orrs in that most solemn time
When earth seemed Heavens enchant
ed cline.
And so l think, when lights burn low,
And all the house is fast asleep,
From out a silence vast and deep
Those dear dead days we worship so
Breathe on us, from their hidden store
Their long lost peace, their faith once
more.
God keep those dear old times; ah. me
Beyond ourwision they may rest
Till on some perfect day, and blest,
Once more those dear dead days will be
For death, who took all, may restore
The past we loved to US once more.
