EX.GovERNoR HoRATIo SEYMOUR, of New York, is one of the great men of this country and one of whom the nation has right to feel proud. He is a man in every way and all New Workers even those who widel, differ with him politiCally-entertaln the highest respect for and confidence in him; and it is gratifying, there iore, in view of the fact that he was defeated for the presidency by Gen. eral Grant, that he should have held this valiant Chieftain in such esteem as the following sentiment, recently publicly expressed by him, evlnces: "Whlle l was not intimate with Gen. Grant, we were always upon pleasant terms. l held him in high regard His words upon his death. bed, like his deeds upon battle-6elds, served his country. They strengthened our Union by promoting good will be tween all sections. "

The ad vertising and book accounts, excep, a. above stated, will be settled b, the undersigned up to October Ist, 1885, after which time all advertising accounts will go to the new manage. ment.
 It is with feeling of deep regre, that we part with the plant we have nourished from its infancy, but are proud to know that the seeding we rooted has grown to the importance Tn the newspaper field the CHAMPION has achieved. Its many reader; along the line Of the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad are mostly known personall, to us, and we shall ever look back to our newspaper experience here as one bright spot in our career. That no. ble spirit of enterprise, generos!t, and kindly feeling which has ever characterized the good people with whom we have mingled here in Flag. staff, and throughout this newspaper field, has woven a band of affection Tn our heart which we will carry with Us during our allotted existence. Ii at any time during our conduc, of the CHAMPION we have offended in the least, we hope it will be char:,abh attributed to the passion of the hour which time and continued social rela ton has oblterated. In the midst Of political strife partizan spri, may have overreached the better judgment, hut lfso. and is laid up against us, ,he prejudice will have to be born, only on the one side. for we know n, one but to respect, We know nc where our lot may be cast in the fu, ture, but wherever we may be, tina good feeling toward the old patrons, of the CHAMPION, who have so gencr- ously bestowed their patronage uJ,or us during the past two years, will snli be uppermost in our memory.
 Our successor in the editorial chair, J. W. STAFFORD, ESQ, is we'll known 10 the people of thls section of .coun. | try, where he has resided since the coming of the railroad. His abili,, ss a writer IS also well known, havin. contributed much to the press at hom, | and abroad, giving information as {, our resources, real and apparent. A man of experience and thoroughly l Conyersant with the wants and nece, . sites of our young and growing coun | try, he will prove valuable accession to the editorial fraternity of the Ter Iitory, and do much to enlighten tn, world as to what we are and can be a, a producing region. We most earn estly commend him to the readers O | the CHAMPION and to the brethren of the press at large.

lied close and helpless up and after the
tall and grizzled old giant, who stood
there looking out which way to lead
them, with the child on llis shoulder,
it's little left arm hugging the great
gray head, its right one holding the
flag.
The tall, gray soldier threw up his
great heavy hand to his brow and
looked out under his broad palm TO
try and see which way to lead. Sud-
denly the hay stacks blazed out be-
fore him, and the whole scene was
bright as day. The federals had been
waiting for 1.-THE confederates to come.
And now, as they stood there, huddled
together and helpless as sheep, they
found the hay stacks in their path of re-
treat, and stood there behind them, be-
fore them, around them, to shoot them
down IN the light they had kindled.
1t was a matchless, and magnificent
sight, No scene so bright, nc sunlight
brighter! 1t pleased the child, excited
and delighted it. What could it care
for the long line Of cleaning guns lev
eled a few rods away in the rear? What
did it know of the death hiding down in
every cleaning gun barrel of that COM
pact mass of uniformed men just be-
fore? Nothing at all. It's little heart
leaped with wonder and delight at the
beautiful uniforms, the discipline, the
quick action in which every gun was
brought Instantly to the shoulder. The
bayonets were beautiful, the cleaning
bayonets all in the bright light.
The child seemed to think this a part
of the celebration, and In fullness of it's
| delight, Just as the federal officer drew
his sword and was giving the word
"frel" the child, holding tight on to
the great, grizzly head with its left
hand, and as if to contribute its part to
the celebration, waved it's little flag
there in the glare and light. And In
that awful stiffness which comes always
before any dreadful catastrophe, plped
out in it's shrill little voice, as it raised
itself higher for the occasion:
"Foof of July"
Put it upon record in gold and red
that the federal officer lowered the
point Of his sword. The heavy breaches
of the guns struck the stony ground
with a thud. The line Of blue divided,
and the old gray confederate, with his
little charge on his shoulder still waving
its little flag, passed on through the
line, while cheer after cheer shook the
bullet riddled leaves of the oaks over,

And this is the story of the old con
faderata soldier of the Shenandoah

Evils of Bad Air.

BAD AIR.-When q person has re-
NAMED for an hour or more in a crowd
ed and poorly ventilated or rail
road car, the system is already contain
mated to a greater or less extent by
breathing air vitiated by exhalations
from the lungs, bodies and clothing of
the occupants. The immediate effect
of these polsons is to debilitate, to low
err vitality, and to impair the natural
power of the system to resist disease.
Hence it is that persons who are at
tackled by infiammatory diseases, as
pneumonia or rheumatism, can gener-
ally trace the beginning of the disease
to a chill felt on coming out OF a crowd
ed room into the cold or damp cir,
wearing perhaps thin shoes and insuff-
Gent clothing. If these facts were
generally understood and acted upon,
thousands of lives might be saved every
year. 1t is a well-known fact that men
who scamp out, I" sleeping on the ground
at all seasons of the year, seldom have
pneumonia, and that rheumatism.
with them, comes, as a rule, only
from unwarantable imprudences. There
are two facts that should be learned
by every person capable of %appreciat-
ing them, and they should never be lost
sight Of for q moment. One is that
exhalations from the lungs-the breath
are q deadly poison, containing the
products Of combustion in the form of
carbonic acid gas, and if a person were
compelled to reinhale it unmixed with
the oxygen of the air, it would prove IS
destructive TO life as the tunes of char
coal. This is an enemy that is always
present, in force. in assemblies OF peo-
pie, and only a constant and free infu-
sion of fresh air prevents it from doing
mischief that would be Immediately APP
parent. The other fact is that pure air is
the antidote to this poison. The oxy-
gen of the air is the greatest Of all puri-
fers. Rapid streams of water that
pass through large cities, receiving the
sewage, become pure again through the
action of the air after running q few
miles. Air is sae best of all "blood
purifiers" Combined with vigorous
exercise to make it effective, it will cure
any durable case Of consumption

A St. Petersburg Home in Winter

Temple Bar, in describing the homes
of st. Petersburg in winter, says that
after depositing the outer garment in an
ante room a visitor is conducted through
the reception rooms, which often seem
interminable, eight or nine in number
generally opening one into another.
The inlaid parquets Of the room are oft
en- very beautiful--the floor polisher
is an important Institution in Russia;
some rooms sre richly carpcted and do
Justice to the looms of Turkey and
Persia. The silk and damask curtains,
wall hangers and coverings for the of
tomans are superb. All is luxurious;
vases of lapis lazuli, porphyry and mall
achite, pictures and objects of art in
general are in profusion. The Russians
+ very fond of promenading through
their suits of apartments, and ample
space is left for this purpose. The win
ter being SO long every conceivable
means is used to shed around the charms
Of warmer climates ;trellises, along which
various crespers arc trained, are intro
duced pretty baskets OF plants (tulips.

Altar Of Roses.

1t takes 1000 roses to yield two
grains Of altar. In the morning the
red blooms are collected by hand and
distilled into clay stills with twice their
weight of water--the water which comes
over being set to cool ali night, and
throwing up the thin Aim of oil which
covers it in the morning like cream ON
new milk. This is the altar, which
must be carefully swept off with q
feather and transferred to q small vial.
After repeating this operation night

THE cRoAxER.

Oh. the melancholy croaker,
With his croak, croak, croak,
He can always tell a funeral,
But never tell a joke;
He. in his ready coffin,
Can drive a nail, no douhti
But with a smiling visage
He never draws n out.
oh. the poor, unhappy croaker,
Like a revolving vane,
He antedates the weather,
Ia sure it's going to rain;
He knows the crops are ruined,
His memory he joys
To prove that now the country
Is going to the dogs.
The dreary, weary croaker,
Will have to die some day;
Perhaps he'll go to heaven
And walk the golden way;
But when the shining pavements
His gloomy eyes behold,
He'll shake his head and mutter:
'I-d-o-n't believe they're-gold"

Murray in Washington Republican,
Now, the seven days tramping in the mud
OF the Chickahominy swamps had pretty
we'll used up the shoes of the troops before
the march began, and, as it was necessarily
forced one, there was a large number of
men barefooted even before we arrived at
the Rappahannock. As a good portion of
the marching was made on turnpikes which
were in very bad condition those who
were without shoes were soon famed by cuts
and stOne-bruises on their feet and, of
course, were compelled to remain in the rear
and would have been of no account in a
battle even under the supposition that they
could have managed to get up to where the
line of battle was formed
This evil became of serious proportions
even before we arrived at the Rappahan-
mock as above stated, and to remedy the
matter as far as possible Gen. Lee ordered a
shoemaker to be detailed from each repi-
ment to cut.from the hides of the beeves

would afford some protection to the feet

REPRODUCTION OF A HUMAN JOINT.
The Case of a Railway Guard-AnimaIs'
Power of Repairing Injuries.

The Case Of Railway Guard-AnimaIs'
Power of Repairing Injuries.
lSt. George Mfvart in Fortnightly Reviewl
may quote, as an example, the case Of
a railway guard, whose arm had been so in
jured that he had been compelled to have
the elbow with its Joint cut out, but who
afterwards developed new joint almost as
good as the old one. In the uninjured con-
d1t1on the outer bone of the lower arm-the
radius-ends above in a smooth-surfaced
cup, which plays againNt part of the lower
end OF the bone of the upper arm, or hum
erus, while its side also plays against the
side of the other bone Of the lower arm--the
ulna-with the interposition of cartilagin-
Gus surface. The radius and ulna are
united to the humerus by dense and sGrong
membranes or igaments, which pass be-
tween it and them anteriorly, posteriorly,
and on each side, and are attached to pro-
jecting processes, one on each side Of the
humerus. Such was the condition of the
parts which were removed by the surgeon.
Nine yea rs after the operation the patient
died, and Mr.. Syme had the opportunity Of
dissecting the arm, which in the meantime
had served the poor man perfectly well, he
having been in the habit of swinging him
self by it from one carriage to another while
the train was in motion quite as easily and
securely as with the other arm. On examin-
alton MIR. Syme found that the amputated
end of the radius had formed fresh polished
surface, and played both on the humerus
and the ulna, a material something like
cartilage being interposed. The ends of the
bones of the forearm were locked in by two
processes projecting downward from the
homerus, and also strong lateral and still
stronger anterior and posterior igamenGs
again bound them fast to the last named
bone. 1t would be easy to bring forward
number of more or less similar cases.
The amount Of reproduction of lost parts
which may take place in many of the lower
animals is astonishing. Thus the tails Of
lizards, if broken of, will grow again, and
the limbs Of nevis will be reproduced, with
their bones, muscles, blood vessels, and
nerves. Even the eye and lower jaw have
been seen to be reproduced in the last-named
animals. If certain worms be cut in two,
each half will become perfect animal, the
head producing new tail and the tail new
head; and worm called a nais has been cut
into as many as twenty five parts with
Like result. But the most remarkable ami
NAL for the power Of repairing injuries is |
the fresh water hydra, almost any fragment |
of which will, under favorable circum-
stances, grow into new and entire fresh |
animal.
