An Incident Of the War.
tChicago Mail.l

[Chicago Mall
Captain McGrath, Clerk of the
Supreme Court, tells u good story
of his war experience, going to
show that during the war, ut least,
the world sometimes seemed so
small that you were continually
knocking against somebody you
didn't expect to meet. Just after
the fall of Vicksburg, the Captains
regiment, the Seventeenth Wiscon-
sin, had charge of Il lot ofprisoners,
most of whom had manned the
works Immediately in front of them
during the siege. These prisoners
were supplied with rations under
General Grants order, the same as
their guards, but they didn't al
ways, or even generally, eat alone.
The Union soldiers followed with
them to a great extent, and, while
guarding them as prisoners, really
treated them as old friends, and
discussed the incidents of the siege
with them with great relish.
Among the prisoners was a young
officer named Saunders, belonging
to an Arkansas regiment, who be-
came favorite in the camp of the
Seventeenth, and spent great
deal of time for few days among
its officers. He had come of good
family, was well educated, and
among gentlemen always a gentle
man. When he was paroled, few
days later, he parted from his re-
cent foes, now friends, with evident
regret, taking with him a new
Yankee uniform which his enter
tainers had made up for him to re-
place the tattered garb in which
he had been captured. He went
away expecting never to see his
new-found friends again, but few
weeks later, as the regiment was
approaching Natchez early one
morning, Il lone horseman was seen
approaching from the direction of
the city. He evidently did not see
the blue-coats until they were
nearly upon him, and then seemed
anxious to avoid Il meeting-a kind
of conduct the soldiers couldn't un-
derstand ut first, as he wore the
blue. The soldiers thought they
must have caught IL spy, but the
first officer who came up identified
Saunders. Being among friends it
was easy to prove his parole, and
he was soon free again, and this
time crossed the river and went
home to Arkansas.
A year later the rebel and Union
armies were confronting each other
near Atlanta. There had been
sharp firing on the picket line all
day. Just as it was getting dark
it let up a little, and pretty soon &
voice called out from the Confeder
ate ritle-pits: "What regiment is
that ?"
The answer went back: "Seven
teenth Wisconsin,"
Then came the surprising in
quiry: as McAuley there"
"Yes."
"Is McGrath there?"
"Yes. Who the d-l are you p
Saunders, of Arkinsaw."
a shout greeted this announce
ment, and Saunders of Arkinsaw
was promptly invited over. H
came, and, on invitation, brought

High License in Arkansas,
[Llttle Rock Gazette.l


Public sentiment is rapidly set
tling down to High License as the
most effective method of reducing
the evils of intempeFance. There
are abundant evidences on all
hands of the good effects 0f "High
License" in Arkansas, which is
probably the most expensive State
in the Union to the dealer in intoX-
icatipg fluids. AS u result, the
little "dOggeries" in the portions of
the back country without proper
police regulations have been closed
up, Their owners could not pay
tho heavy license; and while the
number of houses where liquors are
sold has been materially reduced,
the public revenues derived from
this source have so largely in
creased as to play an important
part In the financial restoration of
Arkansas.

There is keen racs for wealth among the
great European financial syndicates to secure
the franchise FOR building the proposed raul
ways in China. There is powerful association
Of merchants and bankers in Berlin, Hamburg
and Bremen, formed in connection with the
krupp establishment, that commands i'm

Of the German chancellor in aid Of their
schemes. The English were first in the field
with company Of unlimited means, who are
willing to give heavy cash guarantees to the
Chinese government if their bids are &C
copied.
The French are not behind hand in their en-
deavors TO secure the rich prizes, as they
claim that the enterprise belongs to them

two countries. Thus the Compton d Escompte,

A VALUABLE. Scientific Discovery.

A very valuable scientific discovery haa
jYst been made by Herr Ernest Freund, Q
student in the chemical laboratory Of Profss-
sor Stricken at the Vienna university Herr
Freund has discovered that the coAgulation OF
blood, after IL has been drawn from the veins
can be prevented by simply pouring it into o
clean glass. or other receptacle, Of which the
sides have been coated with thin film Of oil
When the vessel has been nearly filed an
other layer OF oil has to be poured on the top
Of il to prevent contact with any substance
to which the blood might adhere. The coag-
ulation Of blood within quarter OK an hour
after its edusion has proved great obstacle
TO scientific experiments with micro-orKan-
ts;rs, and all the means hitherto tried TO pre-
vent coagulation have been more OF les un-
satisfactory. Experiments have been made
with vasefine. almond oil, and olive oil, and
all have been equally successful Chicago

One Of the most ridiculous campaign
documents which we have yet seen il q
letter written just after tho Republican
state convention by one, J. O. Leasurs,
of PendlOton, who seems to have had

sxemplifed 50 many Of his dudistic
characteristics to the wide spread dis
gust Of Republicans generally. Well,
Lsasure wants the Republic n candi-

is very much worked up over the fact
that the 0rcgoaida and other Republi-
caus are charging that the state treas
ury, (if Marston should be elected, ,)will
continue in the hands Of the same clique
or ring that has pro6ted out Of stats
funds for several years. With bonn

production Of any evidence to the con
trary, that was the FIRST to approach
Mr. Marston in regard to his candidacy
for the position he occupies on the tick

appear to be clearly untrue Is the fac
that this dude deems 1t necessary to tel
the people that be is telling the truth,
