In some interesting "reminiscences of Presi-
dent Lincoln, Col Ward H Lamon speaks
especially about the great sympathetic
heart Of the Martyr President and how it
was wrung by the horrors of war. He suf-
fered particularly in the death upon the
Geld of battle of so many of his personal
friends among the Indiana and Illinois
troops Col. Lamon, continuing, says,
with reference to two brothers, one of whom
is now the honored Commissioner Of Pen
sions
The Black boys were notable among the multi
tude of eager youths who rushed to the field the
first call to arms. Their mother. the widow of a
learned Presbyterian minister, had married DR..
Fithian of Danvie. H.. and the relations between
Or. Fithian and his stepsons of the tenderest
paternal nature. His pride in them and his devO-
ton to them was the theme of the country side.
bIr Lincoln knew them well. In his frequent
visits Danville the circuit he seldom ailed 10

Fithian They were studious and industrious boys,
earning with their hands at least part of the
money required for their education. When Sumter
was fred upon they were at Wabash College,
Charlottesville, Ind, and Immediately enlisted as
privates in the Charlottesville Guards. Their
career in the field needs no recital here. Mr. Lin
coin watched it with intense interest At the battle
OF Pea Ridge, having reached high rank, each pro-
motion for special act of gallantry, they both
fell desperately wounded within five minutes and
80 yards of each other. DIR. Fithian fastened to
them with a fathers soiietude and nursed them
back to life through fearful vcissitudes. They had

It haa been lonR time since so siCken

It has been long time since so sicken ing story has engrossed attention as that of the burning of the Springfield Union office last week Wednesday, with its at- tendant loss of life, at least six of the em- ployees meeting terrible death, most of them jumping from the fifth story and be- ing crushed into shapeless human flesh be- low. Three more were injured, two fatal ly. No one knows how the fire started, but it shot up an old elevator shaft in the 1ear of the building, soon cutting off es- cape by the stairway and passenger eleva- tor. Among those who fell in the street was one woman, who jumped for the lad der. The crowd turned their faces as she strnckjit, whirled over and over and was dashed on the hard walk below. ''That slckening crash will sound in my ears while live," said mortified bystander. She was quickly picked up and carried in to the couuting-room below. A large burst of flames shot in the air from the roof,- another victim, another, and still another rolled out Woman tainted, and strong men ran from the scene. The pavement, like q slaughter-house floor, was reeking in bleed. Men were spattered from head to foot with the gore. "Blanketsp "Blank- cts !'' "Bring mattress r were shouted A blanket was found and stretched. Poor Donahue, compositor, thought he saw 8 chance, and poising himself, leaped for life. The heavy sheet was cut through like tissue paper, and the huge body, with out even a rebound, was crushed on the brick walk. The dead are-H. l. Gould ing, 32, foreman composing room; Mrs. Hattie B. Farley, 23, editor; Miss Gertie Thompson, IS, proof-readcr; C.L. Brown, %, compOsitor; W. E. Hovey, of Boston, 25, compositor J.Lanzoe, 35, compositor j; F. G.

Ellsworth went up with the elevator, to help out those imprisoned on the upper floor, the regular attendant having desert I'd his post, and no one else volunteering. He was unable to return. and jumped from the window. Goulding lost his life by staying too long to aid others. He and Miss Thompson were seen at window en- veloped in flames, Mnst of the compos- itors escaped through a window upon roof, and all in the fifth story might have got ont that way had they known of the imminent danger and started for that re- treat in time.

IN BRIEF, AND TO THE POINT Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver is misery. Indi- gestion is foe to good nature.
 The human digestive apparatus is one of the most complicated and wonderful things in existence It is easily put out of order.
 Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular habits, md many other things which ought not to be, have made the American people a nation of dyspeptics.
 But Greens August Flower has done won- derful work in reforming this sad business, and making the American people so healthy that they can enjoy their meals and be happy.

The hot hand of the fire fend has tried more than once to obliterate Oshkosh, but there she stands, the center of good-fellowship and finn and draw-poker and eternal telephone fghtf.

Dr. Feltz gives this possible explanation

Dr. Feltz gives this possible explanation of left-handedness in a French Medical journal In family composed of five per sons, the father and mother were right handed, as was also the eldest son, who had been cared for in his infancy by 8 nurse. The second child had been nursed by the mother, and was left t-handed. The third child, also nursed by his mother, was at the age of one year evidently left-hand- ed, never grasping any object with his right hand. Dr. Feltz noticed that the mother carried the child on her left arm, and upon being questioned, said it had always been her custom to carry her children on this arm. The doctor advised her to hold the child on her right arm. She did SO the child soon began to use his right hand in seizing objects, and is now, at the age of 10 years, normal as regards the preference of the right over the left hand. The doc tor explained that when the nurse carries the chlld on her left arm, the left arm of the infant is the one which is free, and which consequently he learns to use,t the neglect of the right.

N Y. Tribune: Mrs. Anna Justina Marquis, the old scrubwoman who was found dead in the garret of Greenwich street tenement house, left an estate valued at about $15,OOO Public Administrator Morrison said that no will had been found among the old woman's effects. A paper had been drawn up in'whicn she left every. thing to Mrs. Anna J. Cunning, of No. 2O6 Grand-st., Brooklyn. This had never been signed by Mrs. Marquis, although she had often said that she intended to have all her property go to Mrs. Cunning. ''The paper has no legal value," said Mir. Nor rison, "and the money will in consequence go to her nearest relatives. If no relatives are found. it will ultimately go to the city. We know her birthplace in Germany, how ever, and will probably find her heirs. ' Among the effects found in the old bed of Mrs. Marqnis's room were thirteen bank books, recording deposits aggregating $13, 500; seven $1OO United States per cent. bonds, $26 in cash, and jewelry valued at several hundred dollars. She had been married twice, and her first hus- band kept cake and apple stand in Wall street. Her second husband died five years ago.

There is side issue of the dreadful Springfield fire that is worth alIudIng to, especially as modesty may prevent talk about it on the grounds. It is no St cret that the Republican and Union are active rivals. They are made up alike and strug- gle for the same field, and, if the mug wumpery. of the Republican estranges a subscriber the stalwart Union is very glad to enroll him. The opposition is open and manifest. Now comes 8 sudden mis- fortune that dsprives the Union of the ability to print, and forthwith the Repub- lican puts its rival upon It's own press, and glves to it all its own facilities. Had the Republican burned and the Union escaped, We do not doubt the courtesy would have been extended similarly with equal readi- ness. In how many other lines of busi- ness is the misfortune of rival made the occasion for helping instead of crushing him ?-HDrtford COurGnt.

New York Tribune: A comparatively rare surgical operation has recently been performed on Charles Ottmann, member of well-known Fulton Market meat firm. Almost year ago MT. Ottmann expert enced trouble with his kidneys, which was at first taken for Bright's disease. The malady apparently disappeared until about four months ago, when it reappeared ill a seriously aggravated form. Prof Loomis was called into the case, and, together with his son, took charge. The medical men from careful observation of the symptoms, cAme to the conclusion that the left kidney was disintergrating, the primary c.use be- ing tuberculosis. Eventually, extirpation of the affected organ was declded upon, and was performed with gratifying SUCCESS a week ago last Thursday. The diseased kidney was found to be iudurated in spots, while cavities of pus showed the destruc tion of the tissues. The operation was performed by Dr. F. Lange, at his private hospital, and was witnessed by Doctors LOomis, Stimson and number of other prominent surgeons. The patient still re mains at Dr. Lange's hospital, and IS re- covering rapidly. The chief surgeon in charge thinks MT. Ottmann, in spite of the total loss of 50 important an organ, will fully regain his vital powers.
