Aelf.ROsheaslOn,

Self possession is something apart
from ability.
II isl more in one direction and less in
another.
Many persons of great abilities are
painfully lacking In sell. possession, and
others OF very small powers are rarely
at a loss.
1t comes rather through fair degree
of self knowledge and practical exer
cise OF those abilities, great or small,
which we do possess.
Our own experience shows us this.
Most of us are self-possessed III at
least one direction, and that we shall
find to be the one in which we have had
the most constant practice and the best
Opportunities of testing ourselves.
The mechanic or business man, OF
artist or philosopher, may be unde cideo
vascil illatipg, constrained, and ~ a.
.se in general uociety, or in political
circles, or in q hundred other stu
ations; but In their respective employ
ments, or In matters closely connected
with them, they at once assume calm
and assured manner that tells OF theil
regaiped self-possession.

BurgIars Captured.

George Wood and Thomas Mann, no
were arrested in Philadelphia, charged
with being concerned in burglary at
the house of Alexander Ralph, No.
1912 North Thirteenth street, had O
hearing before Magistrate Thompson on
Monday, at which Chief Dougherty of
this city was present. 1t is supposed
that these are the parties who robbed
the residence of Henry +. Dure, on j uly
4th, A detective from Philadelphia,
who spent several days in this city
working up the case, testified to the
robbery of Mr.. Dure's house, and the
prisoners were identified by colored
girl as the two men she had seen sitting
on Mr.. Dure's steps about the time the
house was robbed. Two revolvers found
on the prisoners were identified by a
son of Mr.. Dure as being among the
property stolen that night, and a Jimmy
found in the house where the prisoners
lived, corresponded with the marks on
the door at Mr. Dure's house, After
committed the prisoners in default 81,
500 bail for trial ON the charge OF rob
bling the residence of Mr.. Ralph, but i
tbs sy should be acquitted on that charg'
it is probable they will be brought Il
this city and held for the burglary com
mited at Mr.. Dure's.

Foot Badly Crushed.

A young man named Alfred Bishear,
about 1S years fage, who is employed
at the morocco factory of Charles Baird,
met with a serious accident shortly
after six o'clock last evening, which
may result in his being obliged to have
part of his foot amputated. The un-
fortunate young man resides at Eighth
avenue and Coleman street, and in go.
ing home along Water street between
Tatnall and West streets, attempted to
Jump on moving train of freight cars
going south, but missed the step and
was thrown down in such a manner
that the wheel of one of the cars passed
over his left foot. The train was stop
ped as soon as possible, and Bisheal
placed in one Of the empty cars, aftel
which the train was backed down to
the station. He was carried tnt) detec
tive Jones office, " here he was ATTENDED
| by Drs. Kane and Ogle. The foot Ii
badly crushed, and although ever!
effort will be made to save 1t, 1t is pro
bable that three of the toes will have T.
be amputated. After the foot wa
dressed he was removed to the hospi to

Loss OF speech From q Convul-
sion.

sion.
About two weeks ago q 9.year old
daughter of Mr.. George Baker, who
lives over Eleventh street bridge, was
taken suddenly Ill with prolonged
convulsion. A certain colored indi-
vidual ofthat district,was summoned to
"break the fit." When he arrived, the
usual pow-wow form of cure was re-
sorted to, and some very vile nostrums
given. This kind of treatment was
persevered in from clock in the af.
ternoon until 8 o'clock in the evening.
The parents and friends of the child
had now become anxious about its re-
covery, and summoned DR.. Mann, 619
East Tenth street, for an opinion. When
the ply sician arrived he found the lit
tie sufferer in comatose state, with al
most all signs of life suspended, but
after half hours skillfni manipula-
tion. the doctor left his patient much
improved. For two or three days fol-
lowing the child remained in a stupid,
dazed condition, but with good treat.
ment became brighter, yet her brain
was noticed to be impaired, as she
would bite the bed clothing, her dress,
in fact anything within her reach, and
worst OF all she had lost the power of
speech and memory due, the doctor sag 8
to paralysis Of that part of the brain
In which the language centre is located
caused by ruptrred blood vessel near
this location, which resulted in the
formation of blood clot, which pressed
on the centres of language and thought,
and impaired their functions The child
has regained some of her speech, and
ihs physician thinks he w iii be able to
promote cure.

Hoard or Health

President Bush presided at the regu.
lar meeting of the Board Of Health last
evening. The usual number of cases OF
nuisance were acted upon, and the ex-
ecutive officers were instructed to see
that all owners of vacant lots have the
weeds cut within five days. The follow
ing opinion was received from City
Solicitor Turner, in the case OF the
trustees of st. Andrews church vs..
Hagan. A.
"Iu relation to the matter OF the
| complaint against Hagan's stable on on
the part of the trustees of st. Andrew =
church. for the maintaining OF null
sance, am of the opinion that the
Board of Health has no Jurisdiction
lunless such nuisance complained OF IL
or might be injurious TO the health o. OF
the Inhabitants of the city. Unless
the Board should be able to determine
the nuisance complained OF to possess
THAT character, it has no power TO inter
fere, and parties aggrieved or claiming
to be aggrieved must seek other reme
ldies."

Cleveland Against me.svssssss,

INDIANAPOLIS, July %. - Judge
Thoman and Chief Examiner Lyman, OF
the Civil Service Com mission, who were
directed by President Cleveland to in
vestigate the charges preferred against
postmaster Jones by the indianapolis
Independents, began their work to-day.
The case is of an extraordinary charac
ter, and the action Of the President In
ordering the investigation Is believed
to be OF some significance as emphasiz-
ing bis declaration that he would sup
port civil service reform.
The unseemly wrangle between Vice.
President Hendricks and Congressman
Bynum over the Indianapolis post
Office was one Of the pitiable features
with which the general scramble for
offices was inaugurated at the beginning
of President Cleveland's administra.
tion, and that Vice president Hendricks
hum iliated himself in begging almost
on his knees for the appointment of Mr..
Jones is still fresh in the recollection of
the people of the country. Mr.. Hen.
bricks assu med the fullest responsible
ty for the conduct of his friend Jones,
when the President at last consented to
make the appointment.
Mr.. Hendricks is an avowed cham.
pion of the Andrew jackson princip le
that to the victors belong the spoils,
and his friend Jones is an enthusiastic
representative of the same kind of De-
mocracy. He had not been in office a
day before he began removing employees
In complete disregard Of civil ser
vice rules. This aroused the indig-
nation of the Mugwumps, and they at
once filed charges against him for vio
latiDg the Civil Service act. The Presi-
dent promised an examination and di-
r ected that the investigation should be
thorough and searching.
The proceedings Of Messrs. Thoman
and Lyman to-day have been of secret
nature. The records in the office have
been examined, and the postmaster has
been requested to make written state.
ment in answer to the charges. The in
vestigatlon ia evidently being conducted
with an earnest desire to learn the
truth. and it is believed that the Presi-
dent will remove Jones. The course of
the President is being strongly con.
demned by the Hendricks Democrats,
and 1t seems inevitable that the matter
will result In a breach in the party,
with Mr.. Hendricks as the leader of the
spoils faction, arrayed against Cleve-
land and his civil service notions.

Union Natioual bank of $39, $40 so TO

Correspondence of the REruBLIcAN.

II HARRINGTON, Del, July %, 1886
The most fearful storm visited our town
last Sabbath in respect to damage by
lightning that our citizens have ever
witnessed. Five places were struck,
one dwelling being badly wrecked, but
no being was harmed, save large hog
that was killed. The rainfall was heavy.
and every kind of vegetable life is re.
vived. The heat was oppressive for
two weeks, and the drought had become
very serious. Early vegetables cannot
recover, but 1ate ones and most of our
corn have now the promise of a good
yield. 1T has remained cloudy ever
since. G. w. 3.
