Saratoga Correspondence New York World
One of the most active Of the men
darling in and out of various con-
~ferences was w. ). Arkell, the pub
blisher of the Albany Journal, and q
new force in Mohawk Valley politics.
He is very earnest in his advocacy OF
the claims of Joseph w. Drexel. MI.
Arkell, who is only 81 years OF age,
has a most remarkable history. He
is the son of Senator Arkell. He was
in his fathers factory when he was TX
years OF age, at the moment OF q ter
rible gasoline explosion. The work
man who was with young Arkell was
blown out of sight. Not enough was
left of him to be gathered together for
Identification. Young Arkell, who did
not lose consciousness, covered his
mouth and eyes and made dash for
the door. The building in which this
explosion took place became filled
at once with a black smoke. The
boy butted his way with his
head through five doors, going
literally through fire. In this
passage he became frightfully burned.
The time of the accident was winter.
When he finally reached the outer air
he rolled in the snow and left in the
snow the front and back of both his
hands and the covering Of much Of the
lower part of his face. He was burn
ed so hopelessly that the doctor for o
long time despaired of him. Senator
Arkell, who was on one of the upper
floors of the building when the explo-
sion took place, escaped by dropping
from a window down a fall OF twenty
five feet Upon a strip OF bare rock.
His o was in bed for two years.
His face was SO badly burned that II
was impossible for the natural skin
to recover it. His hands were equally
afflicted. Senator Arkell discovered
in his readings experiments in the way
Of TRANSPORTING skin from n per
son to another. He asked the sur,
geons in charge Of his son to try this
experiment. The result was one OF
the most interesting known in the
history Of surgery. Upon the face o.
young Mr.. Arkell there were trans
planted 856 pieces Of skin from the
arms Of various people. The result i
that his face was entirely built up, sc
that to-day, while he bears very heavy
scars, he yet looks very we'll consider
ing what he has been through. HI
has indomitable courage and pluck
aad aspires to a high position as q
publisher OF newspapers.

IN SEPTEMBER.

Mornings frosty grow, and cold,
Brown the grass on hill and void;
Crows are cawing sharp and clear
Where the rustling corn grows scar;
mastering focks of blackbirds CALL
Here and there a few leaves fall;
In the meadows larks sing sweet,
Chirps the cricket at our feet
In September.
Moons are sunny, warm and sur
A golden haze O'erhangs the hill,
Amber sunshine's on the floor
Just within the open door;
Still the crickets call and creak-
Never found, though long We seek
Oft comes faint report of gun;
Busy flies buzz in the
In September.
Evenings chilly are, and damp
Early lighted is the lamp;
Fire burns and kettle sings,
Smoke ascends in thin blue rings
On the L the children lie;
In the west the soft lights die;
From the elms a robins song
Rings out sweetly, fingers long
In September.

man?' and rode on"
In the campaign around Petersbnro
the COnfederacy ordered out the last
reserves. They came in citizens
clothes, and looked SO rueful that
their presence was discouraging. Food
for men was scarce, and the horses
gnawed the trees in their hunger and
died by hundreds. On the night of
April 2, 1865, the battery cautiouslv
moved away from the work it had
occupied sc long, and plodded west in
the darkness along melancholy swamp
roads. In the morning it reached
Chesterfield Courthouse. Explosions
in the rea told that Richmond had

terry tOiled on again. That night some
of the company was missing, and the
Captain made a speech urging his men
to be true to the last. The Union
cavalry swooped in like Cossacks here
and there in the retreating lines, tax
ing each time a few men and wagons,
and perhaps a gun. In one of these
dashes the author vas captured be.
fore he or his comrades had q chance
to pull a lanyard.
This faithful little history abounds
in sentiment, descriptive passages and
anecdotes, as well as purely military
facts. The author, though not a
preacher, had a pious training, and
sometimes acted as chaplain. Beforea
battle soldiers often came to
him to talk religion, and to
tell him they had just been
converted. At Gettysburg, during a
Iull IN the firing, one ofhis battery com.
rades informed him that he had felt a
spiritual change. There wasa marked
reform in this convert until we were
pleasantly encamped somewhat re.
mote from the enemy, but not longer.
Laugh as we may after the war about
the noisy artillery, and how little it
was feared compared with the cold
gleam of the infantry bayonet and the
deadly whiz of the mimic, Iconfess that
to my ear there was something mourn
fully suggestive in the booming of cam
non and shrieking of shell. The mimic
may hit, and the object of it's wrath
may live to tell the tale; but when the
solid shot or bursting shells find their
victim, it generally leaves him a disor
dered mass of quiveringfiesh."
The author at the end is abletoavow
his belief in the indestructability of the
right, and to say, Perish the wroas,
whether hid beneath Southern grayor
Northern blue.'' The book has nine
heliotype portraits of officers.

TOUGH TO THE LAST.
An Authentic Account of the Last Hour
Of Yankee Sullivan.

An Authentic Account of the Last Hours
Of Yankee Sullivan.
Twas very much pleased to meet last
week with Judge MCGOWAN, one of the
Argonauts who. in 1S49, discovered the
golden fleece, which has-to coin a
term--royalized California. In the
course of our conversation the Judge
told me the concrete history of the
tragic end of the famous prize-fghter,
Yankee Sullivan.
Sullivan. whose real name was AM
brose Murray, was arrested and inn
prisoned. He feared that the Vigilantes
would put him to death, though. as
Judge MCGOWAN tells me. his appre-
tensions were unfounded. The purpose
of that body was to ship him back to
Australia on the first clipper ship that
sailed to Melbourne, it having been
definitely understood tina. Sullivan. or
Murray, was an escaped convict. The
poor devil. however. was SO affrighted
that he took no stock in the hope of es-
cape from the harsh business OF Judge
Lynch. He called eagerly from his
prison windows for priest. feeling that
death was settling close around him.
but was answered by jeers from the
mob without. Finally, in sheer des-
peration, he opened the veins of his
left arm with case-knife and bled
himself to death.
Yankee Sullivan was one of the finest
prize-fighters in the records. Washiny.

Undersigned Cheating.

A West End gentleman recently at
tended poker party, where he INDUCED
in numerous glasses of wine and parted
with most of his cash. Midnight found
him on-Tremont Street with just sixty-five
cents in his pocket-a fifty-cent piece. a
dime and nickel. Hailing herdic. he
requested the driver to take him to his
home on Boylston Street. When the
latter was reached. the gentleman. pro-
ducing his half dollar, asked the driver
if he had a quarter. The driver. after
careful search, regretted that he had
nothing smaller than dollar, which he
produced. The gentleman. feeling poor,
was disinclincd to pay double fare, and
the herdic driver was equally averse to
accepting fifteen cents for his fare. They
pondered the matter awhile and at last
a happy thought struck the gentleman.
Il will tell YOU" he said. Frightening.
.here are sixty-five cents; you give me
the dollar-that will be near enough!'
The herdic driver handed over the dol
lar, thanked the gentleman for his kind
ness, and drove away; and the gentle
man, pleased with his own ingenuity, en-
tered the house, where it flashed across
him what he had done.-Boston Globe.

An uncommon form of strike is the
quitting of pastoral work by the lower
clergy of Bulgaria. They refuse to hold
church services. baptise, or solemnize
marriages and burials. Their griev-
ance is the very worldly one Of a reduce
ton of wages, which are paid them by
the State.

In the city of New York, in 1910, one

church to every 2,400. In the city of
Chicago, in 1910, one church to every
747; in 1880, one church to every 1000.

gaining on the daylight in these two
great cities. This is also true In Gin

One gentleman in Nassau described to
me Il thrilling encounter he had with
centipede. On going to bed one night
he put on that long white linen garment
which is SO comforting to the senses in
a hot climate. and it did not take him
long to discover that there was some-
thing in it. A moment later cent?
pede was fastened to his back, and tho
gentleman was trying to tear the linen
off with as little delay as possible. The
centipede by this time had given up all
claim to the linen, but held on to the
back for dear life. They stick very
tightly. having to be almost torn off;
and the gentleman had to call for help
to have him pulled Off BY the time
assistance arrived the insect had cravled
foot or two up his victims back, leav.
ing a fiery red mark wherever a claw
had touched. And all this time the
gentleman was enjoying the sensation
of having hundred hot needles run
into him. From this and some similar
experiences it is quite fashionable in the
tropics to shake your clothes well before
putting them on. l remember lady
a new arrival at the hotel-asking me
one day whether hung up my shoes at
night to keep the insects out of them?
/ try to imagine man taking the
trouble to hang up his shoes before GO
ing to bed, but can't tquite do it. Cent?
pedes are more plentiful than scorpions,
but not quite so likely to sting. l have
seen barefoot man step on one
without being hurt. probably because

use its claws. They are just about on
par with scorpions as regards the eff
feet of their poison. In some places the
effect of a centipede's sting has been
fatal. but it is not so here.
l wanted to end this chapter on trop-
ical nuisances by saving something
about my ancient enemy, the sand-fly,
but words fail me. 1t is very seldom,
and then only on remarkably still days.
that there are any about in the winter.
But during the rainy season they are ex-
ceedingly thick. No mosquito netting
will keep them out. they are so small.
They give no warning. like mosquito,
but proceed at once to business. You
feel sting on some part OF your
skin. and perhaps see there black
speck about the size of pins point.
But he must be full of poison. for the
bite swells up and itches. and you get
twenty more of them, and you scratch
till they're all sore and get little scabs
on them, make and you look as if you
had smallpox. When get back to New
York no mosquito shall ever tempt me
into impatience. I'll just think of the
sand flies and be content. Nassau (Ba.
