ter-roll Of his company be was marked
az having deserted, but his family and
friends always believed that the charge
Of desertion was baseless.
His daughters have come here from
Cleveland on their way to the reti-
bient's reunion tomorrow, armed with
proofs Of their fathers innocence,
~hlch they will lay before the officers
u the regiment and try to have tha
charge Of desertion removed. They saw
several members OF the old company
in this city and succeeded in conyin-
cipg them that the charge was I'M
founded. Miss Belle Woodwork is .
teacher in the Cleveland public schools.
She espoused the cause Of her fatner's
memory rs soon as she could do so
after the war, and during the past few
years has devoted almost sll Of her
spare time in collecting evidence in his
favor. She has written several
hundred letters and has sue
ceeded in discovering evidence that
gees far TO establish her claim
that Private Woodwork was murdered
by men in the regiment for his money
and the charge Of desertion lodged
against the missing man to avert sus-
picion from their foul deed. The family
has long been well known and highly
respected in Cleveland, and the two
ladies' haze hosts OF friends, who have
encouraged them to persevere in what
was for long time a seemingly hope
less labor OF love.

Professor Storm Bull, Ole Bulls
nephew, is one Of the faculty at the
Wisconsin University.
General Badeau has written 4 letter
N which, speaking Of lIancOck's rela-
lions to Grant and the formers gene
iosity in burying remembrance of all
that had been unpleasant between them,
he says: " The majestic character Of
those rites that attracted the attention
ofthe world was greatly due to the ten
der care and chivalrous punctilio Of him
who thought the dead chieftain had
wounded him."
Thomas A. Edison is thought to
have cleared two millions ont OF his
electrical inventions. His purchase Of
a ruIal residence at 100000 cash, to
take his forthcoming bride to, is re-
gaIded by his intimate friends as no
great extravaganza. In appearance he
is a clean-shaven man, youthful in
face, and so nearly deaf that talker
has little fun in making himself un
derstood.
The will of Commander Hayward,
United States navy, who died recently
in Egypt, provides for the cremation of
his body, and adds: ~ desire that
my ashes be placed in a suitable urn OF
copper in her This wife's) grave at her
feet. II it were possible should in
sist that they be placed inside her
coffin, in which case | should not wish
them TO be enclosed, but that they be
suewn over whatever may remain Of
her precious body"
Miss Mary Thompson, an English au-
lhoress, WbO came to America in De-
ccmber, 1854, with letters from Earl
Granville, John Bright. and others, to
John Sherman, Justice Field, ex-Secre-
iaIy Lincoln, and the British represent
iatiyeS, has begun suit for $4,000
damages against a CaLskill hotel-keep-
er. Miss Thompson alleges forcibIe
election from the hotel last summer
and defamatory talk by the defendant
after she had gone.
Lord Wolseley says that his campaign
library consists of the New Testament,
The Book Of Common Prayer, Shaks-
peaIe. Thomas a Kempis, and the Sol
dier's Pocket-Book. When going on a
distant expedition he could add, in the
history, Creasy's Decisive Battles"
Plutarch's Lives, Voltaire's Charles

In Every Land.
The "Sweet Bye-and-Bye was
arst published in 1868. IL is now
sung universally in many languages.
and, without doubt, is an immortal
hymn.
IL was penned in the village Of Elk
horn, Wis. the home OF the composer
of the music, j. p. Webster, who was
at the time associated with s. Fillmore
Bennett, the author, in the production
Of musical works. The partners were
intimate friends, and il was to relieve a
temporary mental depression Of Mr..
Webster that the hymn was written.
Both words and music were produced
with extraordinary rapidity, not more
than thirty Misunderstanding elapsed from
the time when Mr.. Fillmore began the
composition before the two producers
and some friends who had called were
singing the composition.
Mr.. Bennett, Of whom we present
sOOu iktncsS, was VOIH az Luen' Btu
county, n. Y, on June 81, 1886. lie
was two years old when his parents re-
moved to Plainfeld, ILL.,, and five when
they settled upon farm at Lake Ia

OF an earnestly studious DISPOSE
ton, Young Bennett worked hard in the
district school, and supplemented his
attainments there with much whole
some reading. He assisted on the farm
when his services were needed, and
grew up a healthy and well-informed
youth, loving nature profoundly and
actuated by high moral principles.
When he was sixteen years Of age
he was entered pupil Of the academy

Dir. Seymour Haden tells anecdotes to

The Slade ProfessOrship OF fine art
at Cambridge is not to remain the haven
ofrest it was. Professor Sydney Col
vim has resigned after term of Is years,
on the plea that his duties as the keeper
of the prints in the British Museum oc-
cupy his time. He gave two courses Of
lectures each year, illustrated by spe-
cial reproductions Of ancient and old
works of art, which his classes SUBJ
scIibed for.
Vambery writes to the Atheneam
hat the ruins Of Afrasiab. an ancient
city close to Samarcand, have yielded
to Professor Veselofsky many i'm
poitant inscriptions belonging to the
period of Alexander the Great. Other
inscriptions show the intrusion of Budd-
hism. There are many different kinds
Of glass vessels from an epoch when
glass was supposed to be unknown
bright-colored collins, clay figures Of
men and animals, and number Of old
coins.
Eleven hundred copies Of [" The Pic

brought back large collection, which
is now in the British Museum. 1t fol-
lows quickly on Gonse's L'AH ID

complete from the historical as well as
artistic standpoint.
Some one with lively sense of the
outrage upon good taste shown our
public works of art has gone to the ex-
pense of printing in pamphlet form a
TRADE on " Horrors in Architecture and
SO-called Works Of Art in the City of
New York" Unfortunately, the writer
has omitted to suggest any way OF
avoiding the disgrace of statues like
the Bolivar and Dodge or of inducing
corporations and clubs to employ archi-
tects or genius.
Many Of the casts of sculptures by
Randolph Rogers which have arrived at
Michigan University are found to be
broken. Steps should betaken at once
to see whether they were broken in the
hands Of the customs officers. For
years it has been practically impossible
for ordinary mortals to bring delicate
works Of art, such as casts or glass,
into the port of New York without a
great risk of breakage. The officials
exhibit cynical indifference on this
point that ought to be rebuked by COM
plants and demands for removal. No
community but ours would for q mo-
ment stand such abuses as occur daily
at the custom-house.

nessee. During the early part Of the
war he served in the Confederate army,
and did the southern cause service from
October, 1862, to September, 1868, as
editor Of the Chattanooga Rebel. After
the close of the war he and two others
renewed the publication Of the Nash.
vile Republican and Banner, which
had been suspended. The enterprise
proved a success, and enabled Mr.. Wat
ierson to provide, in association with
Mr.. Halderman, money necessary to
consolidate the Courier and Journal Of
Louisville into the Louisville Courier
Journal and to buy the Associated
Press franchise for the city in which it
is published.
These transactions took place in No
vember, 1868, since which time Henry
Watterson has been accounted one Of
the ablest newspaper men in the
country. He was leader in the move
ment which eliminated in the nomina-
ton Of Horace Greeley to the presi-
dency. Mr.. Watterson was a member
Of the Forty-fourth Congress. lie is a
forcible campaign speaker and clever
political manager.
Occasionally Mr.. watterson appears
as a lecturer. Speaking of the profess
sion of which he is distinguished or
nament, be said on one occasion " The
journalism of to-day is not school of
rhetoric. II is a school Of action. All
the conditions of journalism have
changed. In the old times the great
Journalist was the brilliant writer.
Now, though brilliant writing is not ne
cessarily drawback, it is not journal
ism. Discretion. ssgacity, application,
is journalism; the capacity to think, to
see, to work, to resist, and to rePel."
