Grit and Pluck in sickness.


Dr.. N. Maurice in the st. Louis Republic
/ have seen grit save many q. life. have had
patient who coolly said to me, II will not die,n I
was compelled to assure her that she would. There
was no hope for her. 'Doctor." she answered,
''you are fool shall not die" Grit 1t was that
carried her through. few years later she was
SICK again, and, as ! thought, unto death: but
there came the same all-cOnQuering reply. '.YOu
are talking nonsense; shall get we'll" AND she
DID, This was repeated third time, till actually
began TO believe she would get well any way and
AZ all Times. 1t never occurred TO me TO think OF
her as liable to die. Finally her mortal sickness
came, and expected to help her up as usual
But now she replied, "Doctor, You can come
or go as you please am going to die; this is my
n iast niae rs: o no." SAID; 1--WE win have you
s .;yo1 are talking what you know nothing about 1
shall never be well again" In two days she was
dead. Her grit gave out; her pluck was good to
sne last; she had pluck enough 10 face death; she
mad no longer grit 10 endure disease. There Is no
question but that mortal and mental Qrit no with
pnyScal 10 sustain vitality. A stout Will wards
on the blows OF disease. In this case the patient
went straight ahead to die without q fiincn or
whine. She had vast faith In the "All Right
and allowed no one TO dabble In theology aG her
bedside. She marched into the "next lie" as she
olten had into the next year, and had not q
tremor She took her pluck with her. She treated
a elgnpors prayers as she treated any medicine.
cYou can come II you like" she said, sor you can
go. Your prayers can't stop me aud they can't
cnange memo more than the doctors powders y
She was woman OF extraordinary inteIigence
and determination.

Vast scope OF the Parnell Inqu

Vast Scope OF the Parnell Inquiry.
The declaration OF the Parnell commission yes
terday that the widest scope will be given to the
inquiry opensup an interminable vista Of conten-
ton. The question OF the appointment Of a COM
mission to examine Egan and others In America
was only touched upon; 1t will be raised definitely
when the commission resumes Probably the
suggestion or Mr. Grahame that Egan come to
London Will be approved Sir Charles Russell
stated that Mr.. Parnell deemed Egan's evidence
absolutely Necessary, and In this view the Times
concurs. As soon as the commission resumes both
sides will apply 10 the court to grant certificate
or Indemnity TO Egan and other Irish-AmericanS
under the ban, In order that they may be heard
as witnesses. Mr.. Parnell appeared to be In fine
health. His fNce Is sunbrowned and he seemed
bright and alert. Both sides profess to be salts
ned with the nreliminary tuSsle before the COM
mission. The farnellites are able to claim an
important success In enforcing the production OF
Egan, and one written by Campbell, Mr.. Parnells

cipaI street, the cowboy and pony after him, the

days before the death OF Charles Albert his trusted
friend approached him and said: "Perhaps 1t
would be well for your majesty to give your last
wishes In writing and make your will" melan-
choly smile passed over the monarch's face as he
answered.: my w1ll-yOu are right; had not
thought 0fft-to-mOrrOw." on the following day
De Launay appeared in the ante-chamber with
Ine proper persons, expecting that the king
would dictate his will to him. He knocked at the
door OF the bed-chamber .Is 1t you, my friend9"
inquired Charles Albert "Ah! had quite for

shall hear US. Come TO my bedside" The king
then whispered into De Launayis ear: 81 do not
