Longstreet at Gettysburg.
Mem York Herald, June 25th.

We know of no acene more suggestive
than that of Longstreet at Gettysburg as
told 10 our dispatches yesterday. This
great .soldier-who fought from the
beginning to the end of the rebellion,
drawing his sword at Manassas to surren.
der it only at Appomattox, whose move
ments at Gettysburg was Titantici in its
heroism, magnificent even in its failure
standing twenty-five years later on the
scene of his strife, in friendly communion
with the victors and the vanquished,
teaching concord by his words and his
example, is an event dramatic with
tragic interest, but ripe with lessons to be
remembered long after these years and
we who are one of them have passed
away.
Then will be seen all that is implied
in this scene Of Iongstreet at Gettysburg
for then the worldheayiDg phenomena'
which we call the rebellion will be seen
by clearer and calmer eyes-will be
understood Units true philosophic mean
ing-and the achievements of a man like
Longstreet will be known. For it was
given TO this eminent soldier to be not
only great in war but great in peace, to
risk his life in defense Of his cause and
to throw away his influence in an effort to
bring reconciliation after strife. What
is here written will be read with resent
ment by many of our Southern friends,
but it is truth, and as truth, must
live as a part of this generations annals.
The South has not been kind to Long,
street, never since he gentured to think l
as he pleased upon the business of recon.
struction. There fellto him an outlawry
which must have awakened strange
thoughts as he looked upon the Gettys-
burg plains, made immortal by his valor,
and remembered that none hated him
more now than those who would have
died with him then. He could also feel
that true fame-the fame that means
duty done-is not of the hour nor swayed
by the mutations of the hour; that when
the mists of passion dissolve it will be
seen in It's real form and meaning. There
was South that rejoiced in the glory Of
his warlike deed, and there will be q
South to remember with pride that he led
the way to peace against an opposition
more appalling than the terrible onsets
which swept his lines in the Gettysburg
day of fruy and despair -Me,0 York
Herald.

Made Blind in an Instant.

A catastrophe such as few men have
the stoicism to bear and few survive, has
come like q -thunderbolt upon Charles
Cullmau, of 50 Browne street. Last
Saturday night, while auditing the books
of the Bellevue Building Association, at
their rooms on McMicken avenue, he
turned suddenly to one Of the bystanders
and angrily exclaimed:
aWhy do you turn, out the gasY I'm
not otthrough yet"
"Turr out the gasl What's the mat
ter with you? The gas is burning"
aMy God, then Pm blind J" cried
Cullman, and sinking back in his chair,
from which he had arisen in bis excite
ment, he buried his face in his hands and
moaned and wcpt like child.
DR.. schwartmeyer, his regular physi.
clan, was. hastily sent for, and only ar.
rived to confirm the worst fears.
Cullmsn was indeed blind.
Without a promonitory sign, without
a warning, the blow had come, and as he
sat there bemoaniug his sad fate, his eyes
grew din. Friends took him by the
hand and trembled with emotien as they
tried to speak words of hope and COM
fort. The stricken man only me med,
"My wife! MY little ones!"
a diagnosis followed, and it was dis.
covered that Cnlyman had for some time
been sufferer from Bright's disease Of the
kidneys. The exudations of the albumeu
from these orgaus caused urenic blood
poisoning, which gradually pervaded the
whole system Of the sufferer. Step by
step the disease spread, and contraction
of the kidneys followed, resulting in
inflammation of the retina or optic nerve
hopelessly destroying the sight forever
The case, although not an isolated one
isextremely rare, death generally ensuing
before such crisis arrives.-Gincinnat

Appointed Unto Men.

fOt all events tnaC can possibly OCCut
to us, death is the most, certain, and each
day brings it'one day nearer. These are
fgerHffIe observations, but most persons
banish.such thoughts from their mind as
8 most unwelcome' subject. Is this the
part ofwisdom9 Does it not rather add
to the. .terrorsof the dying hour that we
should allow it to come upon US at last
almost as a surprise I? oOther dangers

Why not prepare for death?
But it is often said, the severance of
sthe soul from. its mortal tenement isso
mysterious, and q bodlless existence is SO
;;;incomprehensible that no amount of
meditation Upon the subject can makeit
ANY clearer. Also, even the beat Chris.
stiaDs are often subject to doubts as 10
their acceptance, and how then can they
mediate with comfort upon the state Of
'the soul after death.
+, These are pertinent replies, but the
difficulties presented do not justify us in
.dismissing from our minds all thoughts
gsoffdeath and ofthatwhich follows it. AS
;;to.all that is Mysterious aud incompre:
5hsnsible, it is just as mysterious how
the soul ever became uuitedatolsthe body

disjoined & aud the 'co:e1igtence now of
soul and body is just as incomprehensi-

saying that these doubts arise not because
they think God unable OF unwilling to
save them, but because they are unwill.

our Lord himself to one who was in an
agony of doubt. Under the compare

dispensatively, David, in the 23rd Paalm,

It is undeniably true that many Chris
tians, whom those who know them best
regard as sincere and consistent believers,
contemplate death with apprehension,
and are troubled with doubts as to their
being truly united to Christ by faith.
But the the best cure for this trouble is
