She says:
Il have just finished reading Grants
book, and is mot fine? To me it is
wonderful; his language is SO simple and
clear that one does not need to study
the dictionary in order to get his meaning
Not once in the whole book does he
speak dlsrespeetfully of single rebel
not even jeff Davis, and his language ia
80 decisive that there Is not single
place where the reader Is left to imagine
the meaning he chooses. Even though
he has been through the rebellion and
two presidential campaigns. he gives
credit where credit is due, and is not the
least bit inclined to sgotism.
II wish every boy and girl in the
union, old enough to read and under
stand the causes of rebellion, could and
would read it; and hope the day will
come when it can in some way be used
in the public schools, for the histories
now used are not much more than lists
of battles with the dates, which the
scholars are expected to commit to
memory, and | doubt il FIVE minutes
after recitation half of the scholars re-
member what they have gone over.

The st. Paul Globe Is informed by
telegraph that the location of the re-
publican convention at Yankton is q
victory for what is known as the Camp
bell statehood movement. AS an
advocate of this movement We
might naturally be inclined to permit
such belief to stand without an au-
thesitntive denial But honesty in all
things and open work in behalf of the
cause is the policy of the organization
which belieyes in the radical statehood
plan. The coincidence of General
CampbslPs residence at the place
selected for the convention
possesses no significance. The PROPOSE
ton to bring the convention to Yank-
ton wss discussed among very few
Yanktonians, some of whom endorse the
radical statehood plan and some do not.
The execution of the work was left en-
tl1ely to John T. Gamble, Yankton's s
representative on tho committee, and he
is an avowed opponent OF the radical
statehood movement. AS q citizen OF
Yankton, General Campbell was heartily
in favor Of bringing the convention
here, if it could be accomplished, and SC
were all other citizens to whom
the matter was suggested
The movement was one purely local and
that it possessed 10 factional signlf.
/ canoe is evidenced by the unanimity
| with which the representatives OF all
factions endorsed the attempt. 1t was
a Yanktonian move and as such, under
the management of MIR. Gamble, it sue
ceedsd. All the southern votes IN tk.
committee were cast for our city, and
one northern vote. The other votes
went to Aberdeen. Yanhton was the
honest choice of a majority and Yank
tor got the convention. 1t is as mucl

Extraordinary Career OF mme. Dr. Mibart

The death Is announced In Cochin China
OF Mime. DR.. Ribart, female surgeon OF
remarkable skill, and whose career was
very extraordinary, an experience that no
other woman has ever had. beginning
as waitress In little drinking
shop OF the Quarter Latin OF Paris,
she passed while stlll very young
through the usual experience OF
Partisan grisette, and became connected
with medical student who froquented
the shop. Her lnstlnc. was Irresistible.
No sooner did she come In contact with
his books and instruments than she fell
upon them and literally deyoured the
knowledge they contained. She awaited
herself OF his teachings, too, and drew
from him eyerythinghe learned, 30 that by
the time she reached tho age Of twenty
six she presented herself f0f OK
animation AS surgeon, aud passed
the ordeal brilliantly and triumph
unity. She Ao6h recognized the field
that lay open 10 hor In Che Egyptian hR-
rems, TO which male surgeons were not
admitted, and where women suffered un-
speakable torments for want Of proper
attendance. At Cairo she speedily es-
tabllshed a large practice and had every
prospect OF doing we'll, but her habits OF
dissipation had been formed early--hnd
become rooted and were unconquerable,
She plunged into uncomfortable de-
bauches, such as would not have
been possible anywhere else, and
the history OF her life there
would not DO admitted TO the pages OF
even chronique scandalense. Her
career OF vice ended finally Ia an Egyp-
tiAn mad-housc, and her snfferinKs In that
horrible place were as great ae her ex-
ceases had been. After six months OF
this severe but Halutary regimen she re-.
covered her mind, but never forgaye her
heartlees and disrcpntable Leyantlnc
friends who hastily thrust her out OF
sight and mind Into the horrors Of an in
sane asylum.
Her career in Egypt was oyer, but she
could not return 70 Europe, and nothing
was left her but the French prosecutions
in Asia. She made her way out ~ the
French colony In Cochin-China Here
her talents and her beauty, which, de-
spite the life she had led IN Egypt and
her sufferlngs In the mad house, had
never failed, won her instant recognition,
aud she WAS In great demand among
women. The old queen mother y. AnnAm
had been blind for years, and hailed
with delight the prospect OF relief

The Finest Razors in the World

A Mouse which sings LIKE Canary.
Santa Rosa Gal Demo rat.

Santa Rosa (Cal) Demo rat.
An animal, such as is described in the
words OF the above caption, belongs to
the family OF rodents, bat, unlike them,
ia endowed with the power OF song.
There are very few OF these little AMI
mails; In fact they are so scsrce that they
are regarded in the light OF curious phe-
nomena. One OF these little natural
curiositles has taken up its abode In Or.
Caldwell's dentistry. Some hye months
ago the DOCTORS attention was attracted
by what seemed TO be the singing OF
canary in the near neighberhood, and AZ
the same time he noticed little mouse
that was in the habit OF scampering
across and around the Office st all times
of the day. The mouse ala
not annoy him in the least, but for
the sake OF ladies who came to the ONCE
he thought he would trap the inohenslve
little thing. Accordingly he set trap
for it-one Of those kind that Is easy
enough to get In but hard to get out OF.
ON coming TO the Office one morning ne
forgot to look at the trap, as usual, OUT
soon his attention was called to It by the
peculiar sounds that were Issuing tnere-
from. At first he thought IT was tne
canary-bird he had been atlraceeu W ioi
some months past, but on going 70 the
mouse-trap he saw the author oil the
music. The trap contained singing
mouse, the only one known on this coast.
II took the doctor some time 10 MAKE
sure that the little creature Was
the vocal srtist, but he soon
became convinced by the actions
of the little animal while sending iortn
its notes. II would stand upon us ainu
legs and act otherwise like canary. Inc
little fellow was kept In the trap TOT over
a month, during which time he enter
famed his captor with his songs. AT tne
end Of this time the care OF him became
too much for the doctor, so one morning
he turned him loose. But great, indeed
was his surprise when on entering tne
office the next morning to ind the trap
occupled by the singer. He was turned
loose again, but the next morning was
hack again, and so continued. me nttie
fellow goes TO his trap every night ano 70
lei out in the morning. The song OF the
monse oifers somcwnatirom that OF the
leatbery songsters, but In It's differences
Is its beauty
