deplored, and If persisted in will be
fruitful of much suffering and trouble
among that class Of operatives. Their
suggestion that a reduction of time
instead of wages certainly was entitled
TO more consideration ut the hands of
mill owners. The labor question at the
East suggests much regarding the pre-
vailing hard times, but 1t is a matter of
record that while these troubles exist
there the Southern cotton mills are in n

shutting down, many new establish

good.

J. 0. Adams and His Servant.

In February, 1S41, after John Quincy
Adams had ridden from his house in L
street to the Capitol, his horses were
frightened by the discharge of Colts
revolving firearms in front of the Cap
itol and ran away. The coachman did
all in his power to guide them, but they
dashed the carriage against the gate of
the Capitol inclosure and he was thrown
heavily to the ground. Mr.. Adams
fastened to the place to which he was
carried, remaining away from the
House of Representatives during the
day, and had bestowed all the attention
and time upon the man that child
could give its father, regarding alike
the religious condition and physical
sufferings of his unfortunate servant
The first interview between man and
master was quite touching. "Your
horses are gone, and the carriage with
them," said the servant, when he first
saw Mr.. Adams after the accident, and
added to this that he was dying
man." "Never mind the horses and
carriage" said Mr.. Adams, kindly, "if
you are dying man, think of your
soul. BEN: Perley POOre.

s. A. General Hospital, >
West Philadelphia, where DIR.
DAVID KENNEDY was one
of the Surgeons ON Duty.

DR.. David Kennedy, for the past ten years
an active practitioner of Medicine and Sur
gerry in Rondout, n. Y, was one of the resi-
dent Surgeons of the above named Hospital
during the war. No doubt many of his for
mer soldier patients are still living and will
be glad to recognize the name of the friend
and Surgeon of those early years in the pro-
prietor of medicine with which ii has be-
come associated. DIR. Kennedy performed
hundreds of the most dangerous and difficult
operations, and it's a simple fact that not
one died, but all made splendid recoyeries.
DIR. Kennedy is frank to confess no9 that
his wonderful success was due to the fact
that ne gave his patients the medicine he now
calls DIR. Kennedy's "Favorite Remedy" in
the after treatment. 1t was this that restored
the Kidneys, Liver, and Bolceis toa healthy
condition affording tone and strength to the
whole system, and thus enabled the soldier
to once more enjoy life and meet the loved
ones at home Women can find no better
friend than "Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Rene
dy," for sale by all druggists.

There Is hardly o more formidable
variety of the armed man than the
European war correspondent in his
complete war-paint. He is grit with
destructive weapons, like Montene-
grin patriot or Q pirate of the Bowery
melodrama. A derringer hangs on his
left hip, a four-barreled bulldog"
balances it on his right, Winchester
repeating rifle crosses his back, the
strap of it supporting a supplementary
cartridge pouch, travelling ink-stand,
and housewife containing needles,
thread, and other conveniences advis-
able in campaign where staff officers
will have to repair their own clothes
Add to the paraphernalia bowie-knife,
case-knife, hunting-knife, and a
sword, field-glass. water-bottle, and
flask; add haversack by the side
and knapsack for the back; add n
case for pens and pencils, also little
medicine chest, and you have the more
salient items of the outfit. A field
marshal in all his glory is less sug-
gestive of havoc and the dogs of war
than O scribe thus terribly caparisoned.

scrubbed caricatures of the personages

so clever that Cruikshank went impul-
sively to call upon his unknown con-
tributor, and finding to his astonish-
ment that his contributor was little
girl, offered Immediately to take her as
an articled pupil and train her up to
his work. This offer was declined; and
putting aside pen and percil Miss Ed
wards devoted herself for seven years
to music. and became not only an ac-

turned to authorship again, and has

A Story of Gen. Banks.

I remember one story that was told
about Gen. Banks. One morning at
daybreak, during Banks Red River
campaign, an aid galloped to his tent.
General, the rebels are attacking our
line in force" The aid waited i'm
patiently; no Banks, no orders. A
second aid, and still third-"Gen-
eral, our lines are broken, the army is
in full retreat, there is danger of a
panic" At length, half an hour later,
Gen. Banks issued from his tent in full
regimentals, mounted his horse, drew
his sword slowly from its scabhard,
and exclaimed, with stentorian voice
LET the enemy be repulsed imme'
diately. "-LouiSriIle Courier Joor.

A "Reminiscences of Burr.

Aaron Burr from various romantic
associations, chiefly from his moral con-
trast to some of his better contempora-
ries, has retained place as perhaps the
most romantic character in American
politics. Some time ago / visited his
grave, at Princeton, n. j. He died in
the second-story room Of hotel on
Staten Island. The hotel is still stand
ing, and had the quaint satisfaction a
few years ago of sleeping in it, a bed
being made at my request there.
When Burr died at this place it was
supposed that he was seeking out some
of his kin who lived there on Staten
Island within sight of their mutual
birthplace, Elizabeth, in New Jersey
The probabilities are that Burr had
borrowed from his kin TO that extent
that he could get no more. He reached
this hotel and went to bed there,
was taken with fever and died. have
perhaps related in your columns before
q singular Renaissance of my own.
About the time L slept in this room 1
was in search of some material about
Cornelius Vanderbilt, father of the
present magnate, and was recommend
ed to go and see an old man named
Clute, who published newspaper on
Staten Island, and was writing its his
tory. He did not know much about
Vanderbilt, but when L asked him
about Aaron Burr he said, with almost
q flash of pride: "Sir, you have before
you the man who signed Aaron Burr's
name with Burr's own hand for the
last time in his life" Mr.. Clute con-
tinued: Il was the notary down here,
and Mr. Edwards, relative of Burr,
come to me and said: There is man
sick at the hotel at Port Richmond who
wants to swear to an application for a
pension as q soldier of the revolutionary
war; went around, and there 1 saw
on the bed Col. Aaron Burr. He was
q poor ruckle of little bones, without O
sign of the great man of former days,
muttering to himself and knowing moth
ing. l said: Mr.. Edwards, this man
is not fit to swear to anything now.
WELL said he, come around in the
afternoon when he gets easier !
went around them" said Mr.. Clute,
"and / knew him well, for 1 had seen
the boys throw stones at him in
Albany, and seen men deliberately
cut him when he proposed to be intro
duced. He had stood every insult
a proud man could stand. 1 made
his application and committed it to
paper, read it to him, and then / took
his hand in mine, said Mr.. Clute, "to
guide it while he signed his name as
he feebly sat up in bed, hardly knowing
what he was about, and as / held that
hand 1 thought to myself, this is the
hand that killed Hamilton. Gath.

Another Life Saved.

Mrs. Harriet Cummings, of Cincinnati,
Ohio, writes: early last winter my daugh-
ter was attacked with a severe cold, which
settled on her lungs. We tried several medi-
cines, none of which seemed to do her any
good, but she continued 10 get worse, and
finally raised large amounts of blood from
her lungs. We called in o family physician,
but he failed to do her any good. AT this

give il trial. We got bottle and she be-
gan TO improve, and by the use of three bot
