A POLITICAL SWASHBUCKLER.
One Republican Politician Who Is Alto
Cether Too Pr eviOus.


gether Too Previous.
General John A. Logan has had a
good deal to disturb his equanimity
within the past few months, but in view
of the fact that he is still running for
otfice-or is supposed to be, for he still
has feeble hopes of being returned to
his old seat in the United States Senate
he should restrain himself. If not
too previous he is too impulsive as was
instanced in his splitting tobacco juice
in an opponents eye during the. to him,
exciting Presidential campaign. And
now. in a public meeting in Chicago,
he has denounced Mayor Carter Harri-
son as "a vile, infamous liar. poltroon
and coward" The professional pur-
list, more sensitive on the subject of
good English than General Logan
is credited with being, would object to
vile and infamous as superogatory
prefixes to s.liar'' and would con-
slider poltroon and coward superfiuous-
lv synonymous. But General Logan
was so pleased with the richness of
his vocabulary that he repeated the re-
mark, so that "the press might get it
correctly and he might not be misun-
derstood" Meanwhile, at another
meeting, Mayor Harrison was repeat
ing his charges against Logan and
reading an affidavit from member of
the Legislature in confederation. The
general public knows little and cares
less about the dispute between the
Mayor and the ex-senator, but the pub
lie has reason to congratulate itself
that John A. Logan-whether or not
he succeeds in securing his seat-will
not be the presiding officer over that
body Of gentlemen, the United States
Senate, next winter, and it is surmised
that two or three more cool seasons
will come round before he is.-M 7.

STORY OF A RING.
How French Officer was Restored to Life
and Usefulness.

How O French Officer was Restored to Life,
and Usefulness.
Many stories have been related of the
recognition of persons by ring. The,
following instance has been recorded by
De Thou and other French historians.
In 1862 Rouen was besieged by the
Protestants, and the Governor of the
city, Montgomery, having observed the
dauntless bravery of an officer under
his command, Francois de Civille. in
trusted him with the defense of a forth
fed gate. While thus engaged he was
shot through the head by an argue.
buiser and rendered insensible Fall
ing from the rampant and considered
dead, he was thrown into ditch. and
some earth was lightly thrown over
him. He lay thus from ten in the
morning until six in the. evening.

ing Of the sad fate of his master. OBJ
tanned permission to search for the
body and have it buried. All his care
seemed fruitless, for the body was dis
figured and covered with mud. He was
about to return disconsolate, when he
observed, by the light of the moon.
something shining brilliantly, and.
STOPPING down, he found it proceeded
from diamond which his m aster wore
in ring. On touching the finger he
fancied there was some warmth in it,
and he conveyed the body tenderly to
the garrison, where the body was ex-
amined and pronounced lifeless. The
servant, however, was not satisfied with
this opinion, and remained watching his
master until, after four DAYS of inseusi-
bility, Civille regained his senses and
was restored to consciousness. This re-
markable man. who was born in 1854
and died in 1914, was the hero of num-
beriess adventures and critical escapes.
D. Aubigne, the historian, relates: IT
saw him at the National Assemblies, a
Deputy from Normandy, forty-two
years after his wound, and I observed
that when he signed our dispositions he
always added: Francois de Ciyille.

PARIS, April 24.-The property OF .
menagerie company at Roubaix was
burned recently, and large numbers
of animals persisted in the flames. The
mob which mad gathered to witness the
fire became angry at the failure OF the
police to make any effort to save the
beasts and a riot occurred. The police
were overpowered, and the mob COM
peNed them to eat the roasted flesh OF
the burned animals. Most of the officers
were made dangerously i'll by their en-
forced diet. The symptoms are similar
to cholera.

Singular Cure For Nervous Affec-
tons.

Some years ago a story was current
of woman who applied at London
hospital for treatment of nervous af-
lection. After listening to recital of
her symptoms, the doctor made her
shut her lips upon a clinical Their
mometer. Upon removing it the pa
tent exclaimed: why, I declare it
has done me good already" The
doctor humored her delusion, and
refrained from any other treatment
than a few more applications of the
magical glass tube. She was soon
cured. A parallel case is now cited
by the Philadelphia Medical NcUs, an
hysterical patient having been cured by
magnetism. The magnet was of wood,
but capped with metal. SO as to seem
cold to the touch.

Springfield ought to have the next Re-
publican State Convention, and proper
effort made before the committee, which
meets tomorrow, by the citizens OF this
city may result in securing the appoint
ment. Our claim is recognized by lead
ing politicians elsewhere in the State.
Fred Mussey has been interviewing promi-
nent men on the subject, in which j. NJ.
Brown, Of Toledo, says:
al don't see why il would not be a good
idea to hold it in Springfield. Columbus
is the most central, but the hotel accom-.
modations are bad, and one, il he obtains
good quarters, must submit to be robbed.
There are no such prices charged anywhere
else in the country, and, as tor hall room, the
same old musty opera house up stairs is all
they have.
"Springfeld has the best hotel accommods-
tions of any town Of its size in the State, and
the finest opera house. The hotels are ample
and frst-class, the hall the best, and the peo.
pie publc-spiried and liberal. | think the
convention would probably be better taken
care OF there than anywhere else, and as for
its being controlled, it is about as well off in
that respect as Columbus"
Columbus has always claimed the Con-
vention because of central location, but
she never pays any Of the expenses, rely
ing wholly upon natural advantages" "
The Columbus Journal says that Spring
field is the only formidable rival Of Colum-
bus for the convention this year, thus
recognizing the claim Of the Champion
City. A strong committee should be sent
to Columbus from Springfield tomorrow,
with strong call for the Convention.
There can be no doubt that the citizens OF
this city can and will, il allowed the op-
portunity, handsomely entertain the State
Convention. And last, but not least,
Springfield has no political axes to grind
none whatever.
