THE NATIONAL HEART.

1t is impossible to conceive that there is
in the great pageant in New York to-day
any element of insincerity 1t is impos-
sible to believe that hundreds of thousands
of men and women have stood all day and
night in line for an opportunity to look
once more upon the face of General Grant
out OF mere curiosity. Its impossible to
believe that in all the towns and cities of
all the land the people are to-day assem-
bling and lamenting as a mere show and
form. So is impossible to believe that the
South is deceitful in putting on the regalia
Of woe to-day; that treacherous and in
sincere hands have draped the old farm
house at Appomattox. Impossible of be-
lief that the ex-soldiers of the dead Con-
federacy who to-day salute the name of
the man who made theirs indeed a lost
cause, are deceiving us; are mere pretend
ers and hypocrites. No; the tide of blood
that pulses through the veins of the
Union to-day i; red and warm, and is sent
out by 4 common heart; the national heart;
the national heart that beats full and
strong and true, and with a vigor that
testities to a vitality that shall have no end.
THERE can scarcely be two opinions
among the impartial and those who have
at all studied the transportation question,
concerning the adopted resolution of the
Railroad Commissioners relative to the
construction of the constitutional prohibi-
ton of a greater charge for short than a
longer hall. 1t certainly does mean that
there shall not be a greater aggregate
charge, and not rate per mile for a given
distance. Any other construction would
land the question in 4 morass of doubts
and uncertainties, not to say impossible
tiles. 1t certainly was never intended that
rate per mile should be the basis
Of comparison of an excess of charge in
two given cases for the same class of
freight, moving in the same direction. If
that rule could obtain it would mean sim
ply the non-moving of certain class of
products that must be moved even at less
than the cost of carriage, or at least with
out the reward Of profit to the transporter,
in order that the producing capacity of the
country may be fostered. For there are
products taken long hauls at a rate per
mile that in reason cannot apply in the
case Of products taken short haul ..ssin
the same direction as the Commission
puts it, other things being substantially
equal, the rate per mile for the longer haul
should be less than for the shorter included
in it. That is principle common to COM
merce, and not new with carriers by rail.
1t is a principle understood by all business
men, and that obtains in the market every
day

concluded to-day The first race, for the
2:20 class, for purse of 81 900. was won by

He had done well in his training at Sacra-

seem to affect him. In fact, he appeared
to like it. His owner was confident that
his horse could trot three heats as good as

not deny that such figure would have

The English Soldier.

Under the existing system soldier in
the British army is provided by the
State with uniform, including boots,
renewed periodically, but he is often re-
quired to pay out of his own pocket for
new pair of trousers, serge frock, or
forage cap, while it is evident that his
two pairs of boots annually are not suf-
ficient, and the cost of additional boots
and repairs to those he possesses is de-
frayed by the man himself. He also,
on enlistment, is furnished with free
kit of necessaries, comprising under
clothing, knife, fork, and spoon, black
ing, brushes, braces, razor, towels, soap,
etc. This kit he has to keep up at his
own expense. 1t is plain from the above
that the soldier is not clothed by the
State. The result of this arrangement
is constantly recurring stoppages, which
often leave the soldier with only Id. a
day pocket money, cause great irritation
and discomfort, aul are fruitful causes
of desertion. Neither is he fed by the
State, for all ne obtains in the shape Of
rations is l pound bread and I pound
meat daily. The balance, in the shape
of groceries, vegetables, milk, etc, is
betrayed out of the messing fund. for
which 4d day is stopped from his pay.
In addition he is charged with washing
at I'd. day, baircutting Id. a month,
and barrack damages, for which he is
lucky if he gets off Id. a month. If he
belongs to the library the subscription
is 3d. month. We indorse Sir Fred
erick Robinson's recommendation that
whatever sum is called pay should be
free of stoppnges, SO that the soldier
may know exactly how he stands, and
the captain and color-sergeant be re-
lieved OF much clerical work and time
consuming accounts. As the most care

able circumstances, clear I'd. day, il
would be desirable to fix his pay at thai
sum, and for the State to defray al
charges connected with the items above
mentioned, unless, of course, in cases o.
carelessness and waste.

Youth of Ferdinand Ward.

The Caledonia, New York, advertiser
says: Strange things happen in this
world, but one of the strangest in this
century was the manner of Gen. Grants
ruin and by such an instrument as Fer
dinand Ward. During the lapse of
time between 1861 and 1876, while
Grant was winning worldwide fame as
soldier in the field and as President of
the United States, the person that was
destined to drag him in sorrow and mis-
cry to the grave was an unpromising
Geneseo STRIPPING, a youth without
honor at home and unknown outside of
the village limits-in short, a good-for-
nothing young hummer, apparently
without a single qualification that
would mark him as one likely to win in
future life so much as nod of recogni-
tion even from the mightiest soldier and
most illustrious citizen of the United
States of his day. And yet, if this young
scallawag had been shot in one of his
ribald sprees or struck by lightning,
Gen. Grant would in all human proba-
bility have been rich and enjoying mod
erately good health to-day, for however
obscure Ferd. Ward was as boy, there
was a certain devilish, latent talent
there for cunning and wild speculation
possessed, perhaps, by no other human
being, and, as it happened, those pecu-
liar qualifications were so directed as
not only to hoodwink, deceive and ruin
the unsuspecting Grant, but men of ripe
experience in financial affairs. Had a
soothsayer appeared in Geneseo twenty
years ago and predicted such future
for the lad Ward, he would have been
sent to lunatic asylum as dangerous
character to be at large Such are the
mysterious ways of Providence in shap-
ing our ends here below.

KATE SIULSEY'S DEATH.
AN AUTOPSY REVEALS THE FACT
THAT SHE DID NOT DIE FROM
FASTING.
The Autopsy Performed by n Number of
Physicians.

An autopsy was performed on the
body of Kate Smulsey, the Fort Plain
faster, by number of physicians. The
| body was not as much emaciated as
would be supposed after the long fast
of several months which the girl had
undergone. The features presented q
| peaceful, placid expression, and in the
repose of death were extremely beau
tiful, giving no indications of the long,
weary months of suffering. The news
of the girls death brought hundreds to
the scene, and as it became known that
the relatives of the dead faster had
granted the privilege of all autopsy, re-
porters from various newspapers in all
parts of the State came focking in.
The body weighed about seventy-five
pounds. The tissues externally were in
normal condition, and the muscles
quite full and rounded. Upon opening
the Uranium the brain was found to be
in healthy condition and presented no
infammatory changes. The weight of
the brain was forty-two ounces. The
abdominal organs were in tubercular
condition. The peritoneum was spotted
with tubercules, showing recent gen.
eral tubercular peritonitis. The tuber-
cular deposit invaded the lungs also
producing pulmonary tuberculosis.
The lungs were soliadified and adher-
ent to the pIeura The weight of the
right lung was twenty-four ounces and
of the left twenty ounces. The heart
was much smaller than normal and
weighed six ounces. The aortic valve
was slightly thickened at the edge. The
spleen was enlarged and the capsular ad-
herent weighed nine ounces. There
were infammatory adhesions of all the
internal organs. Two large circum-
scribed assesses were found, which
we're filed with material which had un-
dergone cheesy degeneration, and which
probably partook of the general tuber-
cular condition. The larger one was
situated between the liver and stomach
and the other at the right extremity OF
the liver. The liver weighed forty
ounces and presented a healthy ap-
pearance. The right kidney presented
nothing abnormal. The left contained
an enlargement on one side, but which
seemed to consist of normal kidney tis-
sue. The stomach was next examined
and found to be entirely empty. The
mucous membrane was softened and in
an ecchymotic condition. The intes-
tines were found to be empty. Tuber-
cular peritonitis was thought to have
been the immediate cause of death,
and by the condition the body was In
it was thought by the doctors that the
girl could have lived long time upon
small amount of food.

That mortal never vanquished yet

Yet if it come to pass some days
That you grow weary, sad, and you
Lift up deep eyes from dusty ways
OF mart and moneys to to the blue
And pure, cool waters, isle and vine,
And bathe you there and then arise
Refreshed by one fresh thought of mine,

kiss your hair in my delight,

May love be thine by sun or moon;
May peace be thine by stormy way,

"Marie," he said, aloud, turning
toward her, "are you sure that it is not

were bright with happiness.
"You mean that I can serve you, make

questioned.
Men never tell their real thoughts at
