His Crist Mill.

They tell 'short-hauP' story about
a prominent railroad freight agent in
this State which is worth repeating He
is an active Episcopalian and a vestry-
man in the church in the little town
where he lives, which is not very far
from the city where he has his office and
spends his busy hours. One day, when
business was crowding, a man came in
who proposed starting a mill at a town
along the road which had TO pay much
more freight than towns further along
the route paid-in other words, it suffer
ed the usual short-haul discrimination.
The visitor pleaded and argued. but, of
course, in vain. Still he held on, and
with his persistency he pretty well wore
out the limited patience of the agent be-
sides keeping other people waiting who
had also called on business. Finally he
left, and the next man stepped up. ''WeH

Philadelphia Press.
The figure of Walt Whitman is becom-
ing less and less familiar upon Chestnut
street and the Camden ferryboats, where
on he delights to ride in summer time
back and forth. The poets football is
heavy and irregular; he is above the av-
erage hight: his hair and beard are long
and white, but the blood beneath the
skin gives a ruddy, almost maroon tinge
to his face. 1t must have been a beauti-
full face once, and even now as he talks
the lines of age fade away and the beau
ty of its youth becomes again visible.
The eyes are blue-gray, and the forehead
prominent above the eyes, but not high.
Though he rejects old forms of poetry,
the clothing of his body, from the big
white felt hat, the spotless rolling shirt
collar, the expanse of shirt bosom fasten-
ed with button the size and shape of a
buttonwood ball to the light-eolored out
ward dress, is of the style made familiar
by the pictures of old-time poets His
voice is full and strong, but he talks
with some hesitaney and searching for
the word to fit exactly his idea.

THE BRAIN EXPOSED.
Remarkable Case of Recovery from
a Cannon Ball Wound on
tho Head

RICHMOND, ND, March 26.-For sew
eral days there has been in the city a
gentleman who is a great living curlosi-
ty as was ever exhibited in a museum
M example of how bad a man may be
injured and still live. The gentleman's
name is w. B. Metcalf, and he is a drum
mer for Kentucky tobacco house. He
was noticed first from the fact that he
always kept his hat on save when sleep
ing and eating his meals. A reporter,
who sat near him at dinner at the Hunt
ington House, noticed the peculiar shape
of his head From his eyebrows back to
his forehead was a sort of an inclined
plane, if such an expression is applicable.
He wore a wig and the front part of this
was banged" Attracted by the curious
hair covering, the reporter asked for an
explanation, and Mr. Metcalf exhibited
something unusual in surgical history.
He was soldier in the Union army and
in battle had been hit by a cannon ball,
the missile grazing and fracturing his
skull. DIR. Agnew, Of Philadelphia, af-
terward attended him and removed the
largest piece Of skull that was ever re
moved from patient who recovered.
The skull is broken away, leaving place
as big as a mans hand with no bone
from over the right eyebrow back to the
top of the skull. He wears a pad over
the place, and wig over all, so that the
injury is not noticeable other than a re-
semblance to the head Of Flathead In
dian. In the presence Of a number of
old soldiers who called to see him, Mr..
Netcalf lifted the pad and wig, and the
entire brain was exposed, its pulsations
and beatings being plainly perceptible.
lie suffers no inconvenience from the
ghastly injury; transacts business as well

Artemus Wards VIII.
lewiston (Me.) Journal.

Lewiston (Me) Journal.
Among the archives in the vault of the
Oxford county probate court at Paris
Hill is copy of the will of Artemus
Ward. Ward died in England of con-
sumption, and his will was made there.
The copy is inscribed on two heavy sheets
of parchment abont two feet square, in
the most elaborate style of the scrivener's 5
art. The copyist must have spent many
hours in fashioning the big capital letters
old English text and the hourishes which
decorate the instrument The parchment
was sent to the Oxford county probate
court in a heavy tin box shaped like a
cigar case, only on a larger scale, being
about inches long and inches wide
The box is secured by a paddock on
which are stamped the British coat of
arms and the letters ''V. R." The Testa-
ment begins: "This is the will of me,
Charles Ferrer Brown Ward, known as
'Artemus Ward. " The testator directs
that his body shall be buried in Water
ford Upper Village, but in a codiciI
changes the place of his entombment to
Waterford Lower Village. He bequeaths
his library to the best scholar in the
schools at Waterford Upper Village, and
his manuscripts to R. Il. Stoddard and
Charles Dawson Stanley. After making
several bequests on his mother and rela-
tives. he gives the balance of his prop-
erty to found san asylum for worn-out
printers" Horace Greeley to be the sole
trustee, and his receipt to be the only
security to be demanded of him. An
Oxford county man, referring to the will
said: Either Artemus intended that
his will should be post mortem joke or
was robbed; for upon his death a
very small property was found-hardly
enough to pay the minor bequests, let
alone the founding printers hospital.

An Advocates Strategy.

San Francisco Advocate.
Maitre Lachand, the famous advocate,
was perhaps the greatest master Of com
edy in France, and not a few eminent
actors envied him his marvellous mimic
powers. He was once employed to de-
fend a murderer, against whom the facts
were hopelessly clear. When his pathet-
ic appeals and his tears-which were al
ways at call when he pleaded before
country jury-failed to touch his stolid
audience, he resOrted to the most impu-
dent piece Of broad farce Thrusting his
moistened white handkerchief into his
pocket, he demanded if the jurors were
men, if they had human hearts, if they
could bring themselves to condemn a fell
bowman like the accused, whom he had
credited with all sorts Of chivalrous, if
not sanity, merits. His eloquence was
not merely fruitlcss. but the jury re-
sponded to it at first with uneasy shut
fling, then with biting Of lips, aud final
" with loud and uncontrolled bursts of
laughter.
Lachand, while flIEglng his hands, had
Intentionally dipped his fingers in the
great ink-pot in front of him, and, as he
drew his right hand across his forehead,
as If in an agony of despair at the certain
fate of the accused, he left upon his
brow an enormous black mark like
crescent moon, and drew other black
traces down his cheeks as he put his fin
gers to his eyes to dash away the tears.
Feigning high moral indignation at their
conduct, he continued: you are about
to decide whether one of your feIlowmen
shall be thrust by you out Of the ranks Of
the living, and you choose such mo
ment for indulginG in cruel and thought
less laughter. Is this eXtravagant mirth
a fitting mood in which to decide wheth-
er a man shall or shall not die?" The
argument actually told upon the jury.
The man was acquitted.

Medical Science and Sanitation.

Medical Science and Sanitation.
Demorest's Monthly.
Medical scieLce has made marvellous
advances in every other department, es-
pecially in surgery and the knowledge of
diseases; yet with all this it is suspected
that the old women of former genera
tions with their ''yarb' teas and simple
medicines were quite as successful in
treating common ailments and
such like-as are the usual run of physi-
clans with their powerful mineral drugs
and bookish learning. All are agreed
that more dependence is to be placed on
sanitation and hygiene than on medi-
cines. Diseases can be prevented, but if
serious are a puzzle to the doctors of any
school. There are some specifics that
are known to be useful. but no drug is
infallible, and each individual system is a
new test even to the hest known medi-
cines. The problem, after all, is not so
much how to cure disease as how to
avoid being sick.

Make a Beginning.


EACudD9G-
We sometimes dream of certain things
we would'like to do; we even go so far
as to plan something out. But we never
begin the execution of them. Once be-
gun, we should be reasonably sure of
carrying them on to completion The
real hindrance is the fact that we never
begin. OF course for anything of i'm
portance, there is need that there be
wise planning. But planning may be so
elaborate as to absorb all the energies,
and the execution never be undertaken
The men who achieve are those who go
ahead, plan or no plan and do something
The great works of the world have been
accomplished because those concerned
have started them, made a beginning,
and then carried them through. This is
eqnalIy true in proportion on a smaller
scale in the private sphere. Many of Us
can accomplish much more than we do
by simply going ahead and doing the
things that present themselves to be done.
This applies of course, more especially to
work aside from but collateral to our or
dinarv avocation.

THE NEW SOUTH.
The Northern Strife-Breeders and
Those who Promote Peace and
Prosperity.

Nashville CTenn) Budget.
The late notable visits of Col. Mcclure
and Mr.. Randall to the south show how
vastly the public sentiment and the ma
terial conditions of our country have
changed in few years. Northern states
man for long time viewed the south
from afar through thick mist of pre-
judice and misinformation. They came
as visiting statesmen" to nullify our
votes and usurp our rights or to gath
er material for new philipies against the
principles and the men we held dear.
Now these kindly neighbors came to
understand us and know our surround
ing; theresult is mutual respect and love
between us. Twenty years ago, when
Sherman marched down to the sea he
saw before him a sullen foe; around him
bleak fields and ruined, smoking home
steads; behind him fearful eyes and de-
spairing hearts. As these eminent edi-
tors and politicians of the north now
make their triumphal marches south
ward, whatever may be their party ties
Or political doctrines they see before
them beckoning hands and welcoming
smiles; around them fruitful land peace
full villages, growing cities, smoking fur
naces and whirling spindles; behind
them they leave track of flowers, hap
py hearts and host of friends. Penn
svlvania and Tennessee no longar glare
at each other over breastworks bristling
with bayonets and belching forth de-
structive fires, but, gladly joining hands
and hearts these brothers give and take
the kiss of mutual confidence and frater-
nal love.
