uteS to stay, and made short address, then
TOOK train andstarted for Chicago, where
he arrived at about l a. nj. Saturday and
was driNe en- to the residence of Editor Medill
He passed the night there and left the city
again at 9 80 for Milwaukee.

so it is said, that was ever seen here. Fifteen
thousand is the number claimed in line in
the procession, while the streets on the line
of march in the neighborhood of the Grand
Pacific were packed with humanity, Mr..
Blaine reviewed the procession from the bal
caly, over the last entrance to the hotel. and

Mr.. Ball is reckless witness. In half
hour conversation with him last night
your correspondent listened to more fil>
thy. scandalous and incredible stories
about Grover Cleveland than he has heard
from lips reverend or law since he was in
Augusta week ago. when his ears were
defled by the same Ieek of partisan
hatred against James G. Blaine. Among
the same class of peeping gossiping, scan
dial mongering democrats in Maine as the
republicans of Buffalo from whom the
Rev. Mr. Ball has derived the vile ground
work of his charges against Mr.. Cleve
land, the private life of Mr.. Blaine is re-
presented as equally black, only drunk
enness is not added to his alleged sins.
And here it is well to note how in Buffa>
10, your correspondent finds incidental
confirmation of the story that the scandal
issue was injected into this campaign
with the personal cognizance of MIR
James G. Blaine. In Augusta he learned
that on July IL last, two days after
Cleveland's nomination at Chicago Col.
Zimro A. Smith of the Boston journal,
Who was once secretary OF the republican
campaign committee in Maine, visited
Augusta and remained all night closeted
with Mr. Blaine. Next day he returned
TO Boston. in Buffalo last night it
was learned that represents
tive of the Boston Journal
had been dispatched for Cleve>
lands home Immediately on Mr.. Smiths
return to Boston, and that he arrived here
on July IS or 49, He was on the ground
before the Telegraph printed its shame
less perversion on the stories against
Cleveland and was already in close COM
munion with Mr.. Ball, the free will bap-
tist clergyman.
One more fact and your correspondent
bids relieved farewell to this subject.

One of the FIRST instances Of the res
section Of bone was after the battle az
Chickamauga, where there were an i'm
mense number Of wounds In arms and
hands, received while in the act OF
loading guns. A young MN who had
been shot through the arm, and the
humerus shattered by q small-sized
bullet, wanted to know Of the surgeon
if there was no way Of saving his arm,
as he would probably need his hand
after he got well. The old surgeon
said there was nothing but to cut tho
arm off s's1ick and Clean" His assistant.
a young man, however, said he thought
he could fix it., and he did. He took
out q four-inch section Of the bone,
jammed the two ends togather, band
aged the arm carefully, and in four
weeks time the bones had united, and
the soldier was discharged with an arm,
shorter, it's true, than the other, but
not nearly so short as 1t would other
